00:00Shhh!
00:00No no no no no no no no no!
00:13No, the system crashed mid-upload!
00:15God, the collection was the wrong season!
00:17We want everything!
00:19No!
00:21Come on Ron, waiting for 48 hours!
00:24Production starts with these bushy designs,
00:27we're all dead!
00:28Not just fire!
00:30How many collapses our careers are over?
00:33Come out here and talk to us,
00:35we have 8 million tied up in this collection!
00:38I am the Bastion at your boat,
00:40right now!
00:41One word for me,
00:42your interest is poison!
00:57Enough!
00:58Vic!
01:00Mia, Japanese Indigo!
01:04Miranda, call production emergency protocol 7!
01:08Pauline, and Liz Vultures!
01:15Tell the boss to hold all calls any 28 minutes!
01:19It's 28 minutes!
01:21The whole system takes 15 to reboot!
01:2327 now!
01:25Tick tock!
01:2724 hours!
01:28And then we are just a bit of a record!
01:29I'm tired!
01:30I'm tired!
01:31I'm tired!
01:32I'm tired!
01:33I'm tired!
01:34I'm tired!
01:35I'm tired!
01:36I'm tired!
01:37I'm tired!
01:38I'm done. Crisis averted.
01:48I swear to God, you are not human.
01:5027 minutes.
01:52Holy shit. Pre-orders are flying in.
01:55This will shatter every record.
02:03Are you okay?
02:05Just Braxton Hicks.
02:09Nothing to-
02:10Oh my God, your water broke.
02:21Mom, you were seriously in active labor while saving the entire company?
02:26Multitasking is my superpower, Pumpkin?
02:30Dad called.
02:31I wanted to know if we should come, but...
02:34I told him that he lost his visiting privilege since...
02:38He decided that his assistance man was more comfortable than ours.
02:42That's my girl.
02:44Well, the company's yours now, Holly.
02:55But there's a condition.
02:59We need to slash costs.
03:01Immediately.
03:03Layoffs.
03:07Nothing without leave.
03:08Oh, Dad, I know exactly where to start our cuts.
03:12Well, just remember, we'll ever clean up that Mulan disaster and get immunity.
03:19In fact, um, they deserve a promotion.
03:23No way, this Victoria went or saved the company since she's not even there.
03:34Boss, the Mulan collection crisis?
03:37Averted.
03:38Pre-orders are pouring in.
03:40You saved the entire collection?
03:42Impressive.
03:44Oh, Ashley.
03:45How about I make you the new creative director?
03:47Starting today.
03:48Oh, my God, is this really happening?
03:53She's offering Victoria's job?
03:56I can finally get rid of that bitch hanging over my head?
04:03But, Victoria...
04:05Don't worry about her.
04:06You're not useless.
04:07I'm going to sound fire.
04:13You know that collection I just rescued up?
04:15I hid something in the design.
04:19Your initials and now little graces.
04:23Who have written the fabric?
04:28And that can give a long runway?
04:32Plus, the bonus from this collection is substantial.
04:35Enough for your full tuition at private school.
04:38Mom, if we have to...
04:40We're going to that private school.
04:42No discussion.
04:43Your sister and I will manage just fine.
04:47His job will keep us a fault.
04:49I love you, Mom.
05:00Holy shit, Holly actually thought I was the one who saved the company?
05:05After all these years in your shadow, Victoria,
05:08I'm finally taking what I deserve.
05:13Look, I'm going to fire every single one of them.
05:35What the hell?
05:37Listen up, everyone.
05:38Victoria Wintour is terminated.
05:41Effective immediately.
05:42You can't just do that.
05:45She's in the hospital having her baby.
05:47There are laws against this.
05:49Vic worked while in labor.
05:52She's a creative backbone of his own adult.
05:55Maternity leave, medical insurance.
05:57These preggles are bleeding us dry.
06:01Everything okay here?
06:02Great timing.
06:05Victoria Wintour, you're fired.
06:09Clear out your desk now.
06:12You're Matthew's daughter, aren't you?
06:23I saved this company three times when your father could have been here.
06:27Three times.
06:30Well, that's ancient history.
06:33The word was fresh blood.
06:35And I'm eager to save the entire long collection.
06:43What?
06:44I'm the one who...
06:45Mia, you...
06:48You're like her.
06:51That's her signature.
06:53That's what makes it me as a lover.
06:55How could you?
07:01I taught you everything you know.
07:03I wish things were different, Vic.
07:14I should have thought about your career before getting pregnant.
07:22What happens to my team?
07:25Miranda pulled all of matters for a month straight working on your father's exclusive collections.
07:31These got so bad, she had to get in hair.
07:33Impacts.
07:35Pauline had to cancel her own wedding because of a company meeting at the Louvre.
07:39These jobs are their lifelines.
07:41Health insurance, paid maternity leave, basic human dignity.
07:44You can't just throw them away.
07:47Well, actually, legally speaking, we can.
07:50No mandated paid maternity leave, no real protection today.
07:54That's corporate America for you.
07:56Or, we can shift the math.
08:00You sign, they stay,
08:02when the budget works out.
08:04Think of it as...
08:06taking one for the team.
08:10Miranda's still drowning in her husband's debts.
08:12Aunt Pauline's sister still needs another surgery.
08:15They can't lose their jobs.
08:17They can't lose their jobs.
08:22Come on, babe.
08:23You say you care about them.
08:24Prove it.
08:25Prove it.
08:45Mmm.
08:46I don't know how to do that.
09:00Fine, Fred.
09:02That's my severest package after 15 years.
09:04That's what I'm worth to...
09:16Be careful.
09:20I got you.
09:28Vincent?
09:30Vincent Chevalier?
09:32Hi.
09:34High school feels like another lifetime, doesn't it?
09:46So...
09:48It's true.
09:50Great Victoria Winter is being shown the door after single-handedly saving we saw in the Loyal's Mulan Collection.
10:00How do you feel about not having to answer to single-minded executives anymore?
10:06Someone with your kind of talent shouldn't be treated like this.
10:10What are you getting at, exactly?
10:14I'm talking about you and me.
10:18Partners.
10:20You're...genius.
10:22My money.
10:23No corporate BS.
10:26No one holding you back.
10:32I thought it made me think about now.
10:34And I have an empty corner office with a view and an attached nursery.
10:40Just saying.
10:44Yes.
10:46Vincent Chevalier, wow.
10:48I didn't expect to see the head of Chauvin and our corporate nexus thrown into the office.
10:52You got your spider?
10:54Don't mind me, I'm just giving Victoria that you're a soft landing.
11:02Triple her salary, corner office.
11:04You know.
11:06Before the vultures at Elvie or Chanel swooping.
11:08Oh, so you're dumpster diving now.
11:10Rescuing a washed up single mom with outdated ideas.
11:16It's an interesting take to have considering you wearing Victoria's designs head to toe.
11:20I mean, the jacket, it's Victoria's spring collection, right?
11:26The earrings, it's Victoria's collaboration with Cartier.
11:30If her work is so far beneath you, maybe you should just strip.
11:36Shit, shit, shit.
11:38What are you talking about?
11:40Victoria designed all of this.
11:48Actually, those were my designs.
11:50What did you just say?
11:54The spring collection.
11:56The Cartier pieces.
11:58I designed them.
12:00Under your supervision, of course, but they came from me.
12:03Oops.
12:04Looks like you've been backing your own horse, Vincent.
12:08I thought you were better than this, Mia.
12:12Let explain my signature on the original sketch dated six months ago.
12:17So what, sketches get past her all the time. It doesn't really squat.
12:25Maybe she was in the middle.
12:27What did they call it?
12:29Best designer?
12:31And the logo?
12:34The EW, woven in.
12:36Victoria's signature mark.
12:38It's been on every major piece she's designed for years.
12:42Mommy, explain it. Make her shut up.
12:47It's funny.
12:48All those pieces.
12:50With the Milan collection that everyone's losing their heart.
12:53They all have EW and GW's silver too.
12:57Victoria's daughter is Emily Winter.
13:00Her newborn is Grace Winter.
13:03It's just quite a coincidence that those initials should appear in all your designs, Mia.
13:09Is there a special EW and GW in your life too?
13:13Well Mia, tell them.
13:14Tell them you designed this.
13:16Tell them you saved Milan.
13:19The logo, it's...
13:22It's adapted based on traditional motifs.
13:26You lying little bitch!
13:29Black promotions are saving the company.
13:35Look at the logo again.
13:36It's not EW or GW.
13:40It's actually two M's.
13:43M-M.
13:45For McMichael.
13:46My last name.
13:50See?
13:51One M flipped.
13:52One upright.
13:53It's not for Grace or Emily.
13:57It's mine.
13:59That is absolutely ridiculous.
14:02Oh my god, she's right.
14:03It does look more like two M's.
14:07You manipulate me.
14:08She really thought you could steal the credit from my star designer.
14:11You learned well, Mia.
14:12Maybe too long.
14:13You'll regret this.
14:15Come on, Missy.
14:16We don't have to save time at all.
14:17Okay.
14:18Let me drive you home, okay?
14:19I have four hours outside.
14:20I got this.
14:21You shouldn't be carrying anyone, will you?
14:36Through.
14:38Congratulations on your promotion, Mia.
14:41I mean, just take care of my honor of apoholy, will you?
14:46That's right!
14:48Get the hell out of my company.
14:50Go lead your 401k somewhere else.
14:58Call of Victoria.
15:02V.I.P. in the station, Paris Fashion Week.
15:05Front row. I didn't even find it.
15:08Lightning.
15:10Every pregnant woman fired. All of us. Just like that.
15:22No severance, no warning, nothing but a box of insecurity, Esker.
15:33Finally purge the company of those walking liabilities.
15:37The termination beacon won't practically pay for your sign.
15:40The bonus might be already a star.
15:42Now, I'm not going to slash you again.
15:45Your signs are eagerly lighted.
15:50Shut up, your eyes closed.
16:00Oh my god, Mom.
16:02This is insane. I can't believe we're actually here.
16:05Victoria Wintour. The nuclear pick.
16:08Your mom's basically a legend. You know that, right?
16:10Yeah.
16:12We've been taking bets on where you'll land after Maison de Vaux.
16:15Their loss is definitely someone else's jackpot.
16:21Wait. Maison de Vaux?
16:23Well, well. The queen of the outer crown embraces us with her presence.
16:28Great with you to show up here.
16:30What's next? Applying for retail jobs at the mall?
16:33Leaving so soon, you haven't introduced me to your princess.
16:38Come and introduce me to your princess.
16:41As long as you're supposed to deal with her little career update
16:43about getting canned for not cutting it anymore?
16:49Mom, is that true?
16:53Don't worry.
16:54She'll explain once she figures out how to keep paying her tuition bills.
16:57Ladies and gentlemen, Victoria Wintour. Still pretending she matters.
17:06My mom is one of the most talented designers in this entire room.
17:10If Miss Honeywell was putting people like you in charge of the business,
17:14then maybe she deserves to crush and burn.
17:16Well, look at that. It seems entitlement runs in the family.
17:21Say whatever you want about me, but leave my daughter out of it.
17:25That's got a stain, huh?
17:27Exposed as unemployed in front of your kid who worships you like some kind of hero?
17:32Hey, good news. There's a factory down the street that's always looking for hardworking children.
17:37If paying bills is getting tough, maybe send her over there.
17:41That's enough.
17:42That's enough.
17:47You've always been a fraud, Victoria.
17:50You never belonged in this world.
17:52Look at her.
17:54A jobless single mom still pretending she can afford couture.
17:58That dress...
18:00It's a cheap knockoff.
18:03Wearing fakes to Paris Fashion Week is not just pathetic.
18:07It's insulting to everyone here who actually deserves to be here.
18:13What the hell do you think you're doing?
18:16Remove that dress.
18:18We don't tolerate counterfeits in this industry.
18:22Hey, stop it! Let go of my mom!
18:25Let's see what garbage is really hiding under that dress.
18:29Take your hands off her now.
18:33Vincent.
18:34Vincent.
18:40You're dismissed.
18:49You're away.
18:53You're away.
18:54You're away.
18:55You're away.
18:56I'm fine.
18:57Jesus Christ, that's Vincent Chamellier.
18:59The reclusive leader who never shows up anywhere.
19:02What the hell is he doing with Victoria?
19:06That knockoff?
19:08That you're so eager to trash her for?
19:10It's Chauvenne.
19:11Of Couture.
19:14Winter Collection.
19:16Not even released yet.
19:18First time?
19:20Three hundred thousand.
19:22Wow!
19:24You gave her that.
19:26That's right.
19:28I would give her the entire damn collection if she wanted it.
19:32Oh my god, everyone mystery solved.
19:35Victoria's backed herself as sugar daddy!
19:38Mr. Billionaire's not a white knight.
19:40He's from Hawking Trust Fund.
19:44Victoria's leaving her way to the top.
19:47It's just so predictably desperate.
19:53You really don't understand real talent, do you?
19:58For those of you who don't know me,
19:59I'm Vincent Chamellier.
20:02CEO of Jevenne.
20:05And yes,
20:07I have been in love with Victoria Winter since high school.
20:11I have followed your career from a distance for years.
20:15Your brilliance.
20:17Your principles.
20:19Your passion.
20:21Victoria, there is no one else like you in this entire industry.
20:25Mom, did you know about this?
20:26I'm not going to pursue anything until she's ready.
20:31But in the meantime, what I will do
20:34is ensure that her incredible talent has the platform that it deserves.
20:39She won't let you down, boss.
20:43You're making a complete ass of yourself, Chevalier.
20:46She's nothing but a has been.
20:48The show's about to start.
20:50Your seats are waiting.
20:55Holy shit.
20:57The industry, Bold Boy and the Creative Powerhouse, together?
21:02Talk about a power couple.
21:04They can build the entire industry.
21:06This isn't over, bitch.
21:08Wait till you see what I've prepared for.
21:21So you seriously didn't love my mom since high school?
21:23Some talents.
21:25You recognize me.
21:27Some people do.
21:29Ladies and gentlemen, before we kick off tonight's show, I have an important announcement.
21:43This woman is nothing but a fraud and a thief.
21:45She's been stealing designs from my creative director for years.
21:52It's true.
21:53She took my work and passed it off as her own.
21:56I slaved away on those designs.
21:59Day and night.
22:02And Victoria had the nerve to pass them off as her own.
22:04That's just particularly iceberg, isn't it, Victoria?
22:08Your entire career is based on lies and manipulation.
22:11That's enough, Holly.
22:13Everyone thinks you're this creative genius, but I know what you really are.
22:15Your personal life is just as fake as the so-called talent.
22:18Did you know she slept with half the executives in the industry?
22:23That's her real design strategy.
22:24Stop it, Holly. You're embarrassing yourself.
22:25And those kids she's so proud of? Who knows who their real fathers are.
22:27Who gave you?
22:29It's a disaster in there. There's something wrong with the collection. It's the fabric.
22:31Not now.
22:35It's the prime minister in the industry.
22:37You're anything wrong with the collection isn't the fabric?
22:39You're being in the industry.
22:41That's her real design strategy.
22:43Stop it, Holly. You're embarrassing yourself.
22:44Those kids she's so proud of? Who knows who their real fathers are.
22:47How did you?
22:50Miss Jenkins. Missing weapons. It's a disaster in there.
22:52There's something wrong with the collections. It's the fabric.
22:54Not now.
22:55The primary fabrics are disintegrating into the lights!
23:02The dresses are literally falling apart!
23:05We've only got 50 minutes left until showtime!
23:08Is this some kind of sick joke in them all?
23:10You can't send the show because you're incompetent?
23:13This is completely unprofessional!
23:16I have 10 million invested in this collection!
23:19This is breach of contract!
23:21It's actually fixable!
23:25You can't seriously be thinking about helping with backstabbing vultures!
23:31Breaking news from Paris Fashion Week!
23:35Masonville Thorpe appears to be imploding underneath new leadership!
23:38Sources say the entire collection may be cancelled minutes before showtime!
23:42The question on everyone's mind?
23:44Is this the end for the once prestigious fashion moves?
23:51This show doesn't happen?
23:53You're personally liable for the breach of practice!
23:56We're talking buildings, homie!
23:58Buildings!
24:21Buildings!
24:22Buildings!
24:23Buildings!
24:24Buildings!
24:25Now!
24:26How?
24:27The fiber supplier must have sent us defective materials!
24:30I can't magically make you dresses in an hour!
24:34You have exactly 30 minutes to make this work!
24:37If you don't, those breach penalties are coming out of your pocket!
24:41That's billions of dollars!
24:44Then you better figure something out!
24:46Because if you don't, not only are you fired, I'll make sure you never work in fashion again!
24:51Miss Winter, how do you respond to accusations over design theft?
25:06Is there any truth to Holly Jenkins' claims about your personal life?
25:10Please respect Miss Winter's privacy!
25:14And for the record, you'll all soon see who the real thief is!
25:18We're gathering evidence as we speak!
25:31Excuse me!
25:33Excuse me!
25:35It's okay, mom.
25:37Don't be right.
25:44What do you want, Mia?
25:49Vic, I really need your help.
25:52Funny way to ask for a favor after that stunt you just pulled.
25:56Look, I know you're furious.
25:59I would be too.
26:01But think about Miranda and believe for a second.
26:04What about them?
26:05Their jobs are on the line with this show.
26:07If we tank, they're done.
26:09Holly will fire them without a second thought.
26:12Please.
26:13If you care about them keeping their jobs, just don't pull this out of here.
26:18Miranda and Holly are responsible for this show.
26:21Yes, absolutely.
26:22And they're counting on this being a hit.
26:25Please.
26:26Vic, not for me.
26:28For that.
26:29It's weird.
26:30I would have expected them to be here in Paris, you know, for such a make-or-break show.
26:35What exactly happened to them, Mia?
26:40They...they couldn't make it.
26:42Holly could the travel budget.
26:45Is that right?
26:47Victoria...
26:48I know I don't deserve your help.
26:52They do.
26:54Fine.
26:57I'll help.
26:58But I'm doing this to Miranda and Pauline.
27:00Not for you.
27:01Oh my god.
27:02It's Victoria Winter.
27:03A nuclear veck.
27:04I need scissors, thread, and fresh lining fabric, now.
27:25I need royal fuchsia for this stitching.
27:27Regular fuchsia will work with this fabric.
27:30this fabric. Does anyone have royal fuchsia thread?
27:37Do you miss work?
27:44Vincent, how did you...?
27:47I figured you might need some supplies, so I had my assistant bring over Jovan's
27:52emergency kit.
27:55This is perfect, but Jovan and Maison Navo are competitors, why would you help them?
28:03I'm not helping them. I'm helping you.
28:08I can't ask you to do this without giving me something in return.
28:12I have a design I've been saving. Something special I've never shown anyone.
28:17It's yours now.
28:19I don't want your design, Victoria.
28:22Then what do you want?
28:25You.
28:28What?
28:32You're a talent. You're a vision.
28:36Come and work as Jovan.
28:39I'm in. I'll work for you.
28:42Just like that?
28:43Just like that.
28:44Now, let me finish my final job for Maison Navo.
28:52I hate it.
28:53I hate it.
28:54When I'm calling school.
28:55I wish I was cool.
28:57I wish I was cool.
28:58Like I knew it was cool.
29:00I regret it.
29:01So I'ma get, I'ma get, I'ma get, I'ma get, I'ma get out.
29:04I have to far.
29:05I'ma get, I'ma get out.
29:06I'ma get out of my name.
29:08I'ma get out of my name.
29:12She's doing this!
29:14But what would take us hours?
29:17Whoa, no wonder they call this new clear back.
29:19Whoa. No wonder they call it a nuclear vick.
29:23It's so fucked up watching her fix my disaster like it's nothing.
29:27The woman I replaced making me look like an amateur.
29:35Five minutes to show time. We made it.
29:49Well, do we pull the plug or not?
29:53We're good. Everything's back on track.
29:55See?
29:57I knew firing Victoria was the right call. You've got twice your talent.
30:01Yeah, right.
30:03This is exactly why I promoted you.
30:07Any big size does not make them.
30:15To Victoria.
30:17To Victoria.
30:19The real hero of mine.
30:31Mom, you're insane.
30:33I can't believe you actually fixed that disaster in under an hour.
30:37Couldn't have done it without you.
30:39You know, if you start dating before you work together,
30:43it doesn't count as an office romance.
30:45Oh, come on.
30:49Well, well, still hanging around.
30:51I think you're too embarrassed to show your face at the after party.
30:55Fraud.
30:57Holly, why don't you ask the models what happened backstage tonight?
31:01What are you talking about?
31:03Just ask the models.
31:05Any of them.
31:07Oh, and Mia.
31:09Don't forget about our agreement.
31:11About Miranda and Pauline.
31:13Right.
31:14Cool.
31:15Two new beginnings such as Ben.
31:21Speaking of new beginnings.
31:25Emily's private school application is due next month, right?
31:29I want to help.
31:30With their education.
31:31What?
31:32This and that.
31:33That's too much.
31:34We barely know each other.
31:35Victoria.
31:36I've known you since we were 17.
31:37I remember watching you win that regional competition in that silver dress, the one you made from scratch.
31:41I saw the way your eyes lit up when you talked about changing the fashion world.
31:51You remember that?
31:52I remember everything.
31:54I have followed your career all these years just hoping that our paths would cross again.
32:01Why didn't you ever reach out?
32:02We were married and then you were.
32:03You were.
32:04I was.
32:05I was.
32:06I was.
32:07I was.

32:49I was.
32:50I was.
32:51I was.
32:52I should probably get this.
33:01Mia?
33:06God, I was so right about firing Victoria.
33:16That Milan disaster you turned around, absolute magic.
33:20And now I have an opportunity to put you on the map for good.
33:24Sean Gosling needs a tuxedo for the Oscars red carpet.
33:29Sean Gosling?
33:31The Sean Gosling?
33:33The very one, three-time Oscar winger, People's Sexiest Man Alive,
33:37and if you play our cards right, the next face of the Maze only goes anywhere.
33:42They're taking pitches now.
33:44If he picks yours, this changes everything.
33:47For you, for the brand.
33:50Where it is, she'll vends me the brand too.
33:53Land this, Vincent and Sport Victoria are done.
34:00Seal the deal, I'll bump your pay by 20%.
34:04I've got this, Holly. You won't regret it.
34:13God, what am I gonna do? I can't design menswear.
34:17I barely pulled off the woman's with Victoria's help.
34:20Lorraine and Felina are gone too.
34:22I'm completely on my own.
34:24If Holly bought that I saved Milan and fixed Paris when it was all Victoria,
34:32maybe I can squeeze one more miracle over.
34:36Come on...
34:57Thanks for meeting me.
34:58I know things are complicated between us.
35:00between us. You mentioned Miranda and Pauline. Cut to the chase.
35:08We're pitching for Sean's Oscar tax. Miranda and Pauline are also on the table.
35:12Miranda's excellent with men, so she can handle this without me.
35:14Please, wait, there's more to it.
35:16After Paris, Pauline needs someone to blame for the Fabric disaster.
35:20Miranda and Pauline are on the chopping block. I've been fighting for them.
35:24Are you serious? Pauline's due any day now.
35:28Trust me, I know. This project is our only shot. If we land it, I can convince Pauline to keep them off.
35:34Have you worked with Sean before?
35:36No, but I've heard you have.
35:38Ages ago. I did a jacket frame for the Med Gala.
35:43Actually, I was sketching a new tuxedo concept right before I left me on the ball.
35:48Really? What concept?
35:54Well...
35:58Perfect. She's handing everything over without even realizing. I'll use her design to save my ass and land this project.
36:16Do you still have any of the sketches somewhere?
36:20I do. Actually, I... I took them with me when I left me on the ball.
36:26Wait.
36:28Miranda went on maternity leave last week. How exactly is she part of this project?
36:33Well, since she's the best menswear designer we have, Holly's liking her work from home.
36:39Is the company covering her health insurance?
36:42Of course, Vic.
36:44Pauline and Grant's jobs are on the line here.
36:48Who is my dad?
36:52Take all the time you need.
36:54Mia.
36:56Don't make me regret trusting you.
36:58Again.
37:00Pumpkin, I need a quick favor.
37:06Remember that tuxedo sketch I was working on before everything went sideways?
37:10The Sean Gossin one with the black sides and lapels?
37:12That's the one. Can you check my home office? It should be in the portfolio marked mens formal 2025.
37:16Got it. Grace is snapping. For the perfect timing.
37:18Thanks, Vic. I just need to double check the weather.
37:20Shoulder. Distortion.
37:22Okay.
37:24Okay.
37:26Oh, I'm sorry.
37:27No.
37:28I'm sorry.
37:30I'm sorry.
37:31I'm sorry.
37:32I'm sorry.
37:33I'm sorry.
37:34I'm sorry.
37:35I'm sorry.
37:36I'm sorry.
37:37I'm sorry.
37:38I'm sorry.
37:39I'm sorry.
37:40I'm sorry.
37:41What?
37:42I'm sorry.
37:43I'm sorry.
37:44Shoulder.
37:47Mom, are you okay?
37:53Miranda?
37:55Vic?
38:00Mom! Mom! What's going on?
38:03Emily, I'll call you right back.
38:06Miranda, what happened? Why the hell are you scrubbing toilets?
38:10Bills don't pay themselves. You met my husband, old child with no paycheck, and now there's a newborn at home.
38:19Mia said you were on maternity leave working remotely on the Gaussian project.
38:24But is that the story she's spinning now?
38:29After you left, she fired every pregnant woman in the company.
38:34No severance, no copper, nothing. Just gone.
38:38That's completely illegal.
38:40Company lawyer said that we all suddenly violated some very performance clause.
38:46All at once. What are the odds, right?
38:49And Polly, marking night shifts at 24 hours down here.
38:54Her sister medical bills keep piling up.
38:57And Mia knew about all this.
39:05Mia. Front row seat when Hal made an announcement. Didn't even blink.
39:11To be said by her in her shiny new creative director title.
39:15She's been using you and Polly to manipulate me. Telling me her job depended on me helping her.
39:23What? That bitch!
39:25Bitch!
39:26This ends now.
39:28Damn it!
39:29Miss Encycl, this is right from Milan. We need approval by being cleared up.
39:31Didn't you see I'm working on something important?
39:32What are y'all looking at? Get back to work!
39:33What are y'all looking at? Get back to work!
39:34What are y'all looking at? Get back to work!
39:35Victoria never should miss any of us.
39:45I can't wait to see you, but this happened.
39:48That's it.
39:50This happened.
39:52What are you guys looking at?odie' point.
39:54What are y'all looking at? Get back to work!
39:57Victoria never should miss someone, sir.
40:00I just can't wait.
40:01Wait..
40:02I heard that. You think Victoria is so perfect? Then where is she now? Gone. Now I'm in charge and if anyone has a problem with that, there's the door.
40:24What the hell is going on here?
40:26Just a great disagreement. Everything is unusual.
40:29The gossip is telling me it was something presentable.
40:37Of course, I'm just finalizing the details.
40:39Show me.
40:41It's not quite ready for-
40:42Now.
40:48This is garbage.
40:50Absolute garbage!
40:52I just need a little more time.
40:54Don't have more time. This is Sean Gosling we're talking about.
40:57If Shufin gets this deal instead of us...
41:03What's that?
41:09It's just some inspiration I recorded for the design.
41:14I don't care if you have to sell your soul to the devil.
41:17Get me a way to design with tomorrow morning.
41:20Or pack up your desk by lunch!
41:24Mom!
41:25I still can't believe in using this as leverage.
41:31I still can't believe I'm using this as leverage.
41:50Right on cue.
41:57Meet that sketch ASAP. Miranda and Pauline's futures depend on it.
42:04The absolute nerve of this woman.
42:08She'll get her sketch. And that's when we spring the trial.
42:14You're early.
42:25Vic, I really need that sketch.
42:29I said I'd help. Not hand over my design.
42:39Polly's all over me about this. If I don't have something tonight, Miranda and Pauline are toast.
42:46Still lying, Mia. You'll never learn. Guess it's payback time.
42:51So, do you want my help or not? I can walk you through it. Your design could be just as good.
42:57She's such a snake.
43:00Vic, my stomach is killing me. Can you run to the pharmacy and get something, please?
43:06Fine. Don't touch anything.
43:35Sorry, man. Survival of the fails.
43:38You just let her take your work? She walked out with exactly what I wanted her to have.
43:56You know, boss. We could pitch ourselves. Go after the same clients. Show them what real design looks like.
44:06We're not out yet.
44:08Or there's a revolution room.
44:22Figure you can use all the backup you can get.
44:29You're welcome, mom.
44:36I want you and your team as your van. Full creative control.
44:44Oh, Miranda. Your husband's dead. Handled. At every casino in the country, it's been told he's not welcome.
44:51Mr. Chevalier, I...
44:55I'm Pauline. Your sister is in good hands. The best heart surgeon in the country.
45:01She's already prepping for her next surgery.
45:04Mr. Chevalier! Thank you!
45:07Don't thank me. Thank Victoria. I'm just looking out for the people she believes in.
45:14Vincent, I... I don't even know what to say.
45:18It's about time. You all get what you deserve.
45:48For your company.
45:55All receipts of Brazil.
46:10Let's go.
46:15and you're still here
46:30final tweaks

50:07place on the boat
50:11oh shit

50:14of course
50:15this is what we planned all along
50:18wasn't it?
50:19what the hell did you people put me in?
50:31are you trying to kill me?
50:32Mr. Galsing has a serious allergy to synthetic silk
50:36who designed this tuxedo?
50:37did you even read the brief?
50:41I mean
50:42you must have read the brief
50:44it's not complicated
50:45it says
50:46no synthetic
50:48blends
50:49I mean
50:49there must be some end of the state
50:51perhaps Mia overlooked something
50:54a mistake?
50:55I could have ended up in the emergency room
50:57Victoria
50:59please
51:00tell these amateurs
51:02why you hold your last time
51:03I pulled my design
51:12because the only fabric left
51:13was synthetic
51:14I'd never risk Mr. Galsing's help
51:17for a deadline
51:17and that's why Victoria's the best
51:19which actually pays attention
51:21after reviewing all the entries
51:23the committee has reached a decision
51:25the commission goes to
51:27Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline
51:29for that
51:30Mr. Galsing was just a slip-up
51:34he has designed Mr. Frank Browner all along
51:37that's why they picked her first
51:39maybe everyone should see this
51:50wait Mia
51:51did you actually steal Victoria's design?
51:58not to me low
51:59even for you
52:04Nathan Laveau
52:05will be hearing
52:06from my letters
52:07so you know

52:20don't even think about trying to land anywhere else
52:32you're blacklisted
52:34I'll do anything please just help me save the company the brand you built for 15 years

52:55I'll do anything please just help me save the company the brand you built for 15 years
53:00Now you live with them.
53:04Why did you go too far?
53:11Sean Gauzing's look tonight is a game changer
53:14crafted by the trailblazing team of Jomen.
53:16Social media is already calling it
53:18The Winter Revolution.
53:20To the best comeback in fashion history.
53:30And to the women who made it happen.
53:32And to the maternity leave that actually means something.
53:40Mom, you might want to see this.
53:50Happy Birthday, Victoria.
53:56Happy Birthday to you!
54:02Guys, look!
54:06Maison LĆ©vois on the brink?
54:08Scandal pushes Tasha and Giant towards bankruptcy.
54:12Ouch! I guess Karma has a sense of humor.
54:16It's strange, isn't it?
54:20I gave them everything.
54:22Late nights,
54:24weekends,
54:26all the best years,
54:28and they tossed us aside like we were nothing.
54:30Now it's all crashing down.
54:32I thought I'd feel vindicated.
54:34Honestly, it's a weird mix.
54:36Relief, sure,
54:38but also a little bit of grief.
54:40Look, who said our best years are behind us?
54:44Look at this!
54:46She then pushes her
54:48paid leave and parental support across all industries.
54:52Victoria, this is you!
54:54You did this!
54:56Here's to a future
54:58where women don't have to choose between our families and their careers.
55:02Not just for us, but for every woman who comes after.
55:06Careful Vincent,
55:08and what's about the best part?
55:10I...
55:12Victoria Winter.
55:14Will you marry me?
55:16Yes!
55:18A thousand times yes!
55:20Woo-hoo!
55:26Take my heart with gold for your hands.
55:32I've been spent all my days just trying to find me.
55:34Can't even share my family.
55:36Victoria,
55:36Victoria Winter...
55:37will you marry me?
55:39Yes!
55:40A thousand times yes!
55:41Woo-hoo!
55:43Take my heart with gold for your hands.
55:45I've spent all my days just trying...
55:49Woooo!
55:56I'm with Amber!
56:13You came.
56:14I thought you'd want to see me like this.
56:16I came because I wanted to hear it from you.
56:20When word got out, you left.
56:22Clients bailed.
56:24The board freed.
56:26Members taped.
56:27I couldn't stop it.
56:29You stood based on the vote into this storm, Holly.
56:37I know.
56:38I know.
56:40My father.
56:42The stress gave me a heart attack.
56:45He won't even speak to me anymore.
56:47I destroyed everything.
56:49My thoughts slashed in costs and saved us,
56:53but instead I gutted the company.
56:55I didn't mean to pretend like this.
56:59I'm exonable if I wasn't dead.
57:01I bought it.
57:03I bought it.
57:04Last week.
57:05The brand.
57:06The archives.
57:07Even the debt.
57:09It's part of your van now.
57:11And why would you do that?
57:13To make sure that no more women have to suffer because of policies like yours.
57:19You and Victoria.
57:21To help you do better than I did.
57:23I'll do it differently.
57:25Goodbye, Holly.
57:27Miss Winter.
57:29Miss Winter.
57:30I just...
57:31I wanted to thank you.
57:33Because of your campaign, my company gave me maternity leave.
57:45I can keep working and...
57:46I can keep working and have my baby.
57:50You changed everything.
57:52Congratulations.
57:53Wishing you and your little one every Calculus.
57:55I'm sorry.
57:56Why are you sorry?
