00:00Shit! No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!
00:03The system crashed me and upload!
00:05I thought the collection was the wrong season!
00:07We're on everything!
00:09No!
00:11I'm on the runway for 48 hours!
00:14Production starts with these bust designs, they're all dead!
00:18Not just fire, they're dead!
00:20Company of the losses our careers are over!
00:23Come out here and talk to us!
00:25We have 8 million tied up in this collection!
00:28Prepare to the passenger boat right now!
00:31One word from me, your age is poison!
00:47Enough!
00:48Nick!
00:51Mia, Japanese Indigo.
00:54Miranda, call production emergency protocol 7.
00:58Pauline, and Liz Vultures.
01:05Tell the boss to hold all calls any 28 minutes.
01:0928 minutes?
01:11The whole system takes 15 to move!
01:1327 now.
01:15Take a talk.
01:36Benjamin, crisis averted.
01:38I swear to god, you are not human.
01:4027 minutes!
01:4127 minutes!
01:43Holy shit!
01:44Pre-orders are flooding in!
01:45This will shatter every record!
01:53Vette!
01:54Are you okay?
01:55Just...
01:56Brax and Hicks, nothing to...
01:57Mom.
01:58Oh my god, your water broke!
02:00Mom.
02:01You were seriously in active labor while saving the entire company?
02:03Multitasking is my superpower pumpkin?
02:04Dad called.
02:05He wanted to know if we should come, but...
02:07I told him that he lost his visiting per village distance.
02:08He decided that his assistance is more comfortable than ours.
02:09That's my girl.
02:11Ha ha.
02:12You were seriously in active labor while saving the entire company?
02:16Multitasking is my superpower pumpkin?
02:21Dad called. He wanted to know if we should come, but...
02:25I told him that he lost his visiting profile distance.
02:28He decided that his assistance is more comfortable than ours.
02:33That's my girl.
02:42Well, the company's yours now, Holly. But there's a condition.
02:49We need to slash costs. Immediately.
02:53Layoffs?
02:57That's it without leave.
02:59Oh, Dad, I know exactly where to start our cuts.
03:03Well, just remember, we'll ever clean up that Malayan disaster and get immunity.
03:09In fact, um...
03:12They deserve a promotion.
03:16No way this Victoria Winter saved the company since she's not even there.
03:24Boss, the Mulan collection crisis? Averted. Pre-orders are pouring in.
03:30You saved the entire collection. Impressive.
03:34Well, actually, how about I make you the new creative director, starting today?
03:40Oh my god, is this really happening?
03:43She's offering Victoria's job?
03:46I can finally get rid of that bitch thingy over my head?
03:54But Victoria...
03:55Don't worry about her. That means this thing.
03:57It's not fire.
03:58You know that collection I just rescued out?
04:06I hid something in the design.
04:09Your initials and now little graces.
04:13Hold right into the fabric.
04:18And that can give a long runway?
04:20Plus, the bonus from this collection is substantial.
04:24Not fearful to wish in a private school.
04:27Mom, if we have to...
04:30We're going to that private school.
04:32No discussion.
04:34Your sister and I will manage dress by.
04:37This job will keep us apart.
04:39I love you, Mom.
04:40Holy shit, Holly actually thought I was the one who saved the company?
04:55After all these years in your shadow, Victoria, I'm finally taking what I deserve.
05:00Look, I'm going to fire every single one of them.
05:17What the hell?
05:27Listen up, everyone.
05:29Victoria Wintour is terminated.
05:31Effective immediately.
05:34You can't just do that.
05:36She's in the hospital having her baby.
05:38They're a loss against this.
05:40Vic worked while in labor.
05:42She's a creative backbone of his own vote.
05:44Maternity leave, medical insurance, these preggos are bleeding us dry.
05:51Everything okay here?
05:55Great timing.
05:57Victoria Wintour, you're fired.
06:00Clear out your desk now.
06:10You're Matthew's daughter, aren't you?
06:12I saved this company three times when your father couldn't appear.
06:17Three times.
06:20Whoa.
06:22That's ancient history.
06:24The word was fresh blood.
06:26And me eager to save the entire and long collection.
06:33What?
06:35I'm the one who...
06:37Mia, you...
06:39They lack her.
06:42That's her signature.
06:44That's what makes it me as a mother.
06:50How could you?
06:52I taught you everything you know.
06:53I wish things were different, Vic.
06:54I should have thought about your career before getting a friend then.
06:56What happens to my team?
06:59Miranda pulled an alt match for a month straight working on your father's exclusive collections.
07:00Things are so bad she had to get hair, implants.
07:01Pauline had to cancel her own wedding because of a company meeting at the Louvre.
07:02I wish things were different, Vic.
07:03I wish things were different, Vic.
07:05I should have thought about your career before getting a friend then.
07:06I should have thought about your career before getting a friend then.
07:09What happened to my team?
07:10Miranda pulled an alt match for a month straight working on your father's exclusive collections.
07:21Things are so bad she had to get hair, implants.
07:25Pauline had to cancel her own wedding because of a company meeting at the Louvre.
07:30These jobs are their lifelines, health insurance, pain maternity leave, basic human dignity.
07:34You can't just throw them away.
07:38Well, actually, legally speaking, we can.
07:41No mandated paid maternity leave, no real protection today.
07:45That's corporate America for you.
07:47Or we can shift the math.
07:50You sign, they stay, the budget works out.
07:55Think of it as taking one for the team.
07:59Noelle is still drowning in her husband's deaths.
08:03Aunt Pauline's sister still needs another surgery.
08:07They can't lose their jobs.
08:12Come on, Vic.
08:13You stay care of them.
08:15Prove it.
08:30You stay care of them.
08:35I'm sick.
08:37Hm.
08:38If you're gonna get sick, you're gonna get sick.
08:42I'm sick-
08:44Noelle.
08:46Noelle.
08:48Hi friend.
08:50That's my severest package over 15 years.
08:51That's why it works.
08:54Hi friend.
08:55That's my severest package over 15 years.
08:56That's why it works.
08:57Be careful. I got you.
09:18Vincent? Vincent Chevalier?
09:22Hi. High school feels like another lifetime, doesn't it?
09:37So, it's true. Great Victoria Winter has been shown the door after single-handedly saving from the World's Malone Collection.
09:50How do you feel about not having to answer to single-minded executives in the World?
09:57Some of your kind of talent shouldn't be treated like this.
10:02What are you getting at exactly?
10:05I'm talking about you and me. Partners. You're genius. My money. No corporate BS. No one holding you back.
10:18I thought it'd be anything to think about now.
10:25And I have an empty corner office with you and an attached nursery. Just saying.
10:36Vincent Chevalier. Wow. Who can expect to see the head of Chauvin?
10:40And then our corporate net is throwing into the office.
10:43That is by here.
10:48Don't mind me. I'm just giving Victoria here.
10:51Soft landing. Triple the salary. Corner office.
10:57Before the vultures at LB or Chanel swooping.
10:59Oh, so you're dumpster diving now.
11:02Rescuing a wash-up single mom with outdated ideas.
11:06Wow. That's an interesting take to have, considering you wearing Victoria's designs head to toe.
11:12I mean, the jacket, that's Victoria's spring collection, right?
11:17The earrings, that's Victoria's collaboration with Cartier.
11:20Okay. If her work is so far beneath you, maybe you should just strip.
11:27Shit, shit, shit.
11:29What are you talking about? Victoria designed all of this.
11:38Actually, those were my designs.
11:43What did you say?
11:45The spring collection. The Cartier pieces.
11:48I designed them. Under your supervision, of course.
11:52But they came from me.
11:54Oops. Looks like you've been backing your own horse, Vincent.
11:58I thought you were better than this, Mia.
12:02That is going to be my signature.
12:04On the original sketch dated six months ago.
12:12So what, sketches get past her all the time. It doesn't really squat.
12:15Maybe she was in the middle of, what did they call it?
12:19The rest of the line?
12:22On the logo?
12:25The EW.
12:26Woven in.
12:27Victoria's signature mark.
12:29It's been on every major piece she's designed for years.
12:33Mommy, explain it. Maybe shut up.
12:35It's funny.
12:36All those pieces.
12:37With the Milan collection that everyone's losing their heart.
12:38They all have EW and GW similar too.
12:39Victoria's daughter is Emily Winter.
12:40Her newborn is Grace Winter.
12:41It's just quite a coincidence that those initials should appear in all your designs, Mia.
12:44Is there a special EW and GW in your life too?
12:45Well, Mia, tell them. Tell them you designed this. Tell them you saved Milan.
12:54The logo, it's adapted based on traditional motifs.
13:01You lying little bitch.
13:06Tell them you designed this. Tell them you saved Milan.
13:09The logo, it's... it's adapted based on traditional motifs.
13:17You lying little bitch!
13:19Black Emotion was for saving the company.
13:26Look at the logo again.
13:28It's not EW or GW.
13:31It's actually two M's, M-M, for McMichael, my last name.
13:40See? One M flipped, one upright.
13:44It's not for Grace or Emily.
13:48It's mine.
13:50That is absolutely ridiculous.
13:53Oh my gosh, she's right. It does look more like two M's.
13:58You only thought you could steal the credit from my star designer.
14:04You learned well, Mia.
14:07Maybe two are.
14:08You'll regret this.
14:12Come on, Missy.
14:13We're gonna have to sit down.
14:16Okay.
14:17Let me drive you over here.
14:19I have four hours outside.
14:21If I got this, you shouldn't be carrying it.
14:25Through.
14:28Congratulations on your promotion, Mia.
14:32Just...
14:33Take care of my honor of Holly for you.
14:38That's right! Get the hell out of my company!
14:40Go lead your 401k somewhere else.
14:43Oh, I'm Victoria.
14:50VIP invitation.
14:54Paris fashion.
14:55Front row.
14:56I think you'll find it.
14:58Lightning.
14:59Lightning.
15:00Every pregnant woman fired.
15:01All of us.
15:02Just like that.
15:03No severance.
15:04No warning.
15:05Nothing.
15:06But a box of insecurity, Esther.
15:08Finally purged the company of those walking liabilities.
15:15The determination.
15:16Do you want to have to be paid for your sign?
15:17The phone is going to be ready to start.
15:18Now, I'm not going to slash you.
15:19Your designs are eerily related.
15:21She'll cut your legs closed.
15:23Now, I'm not going to slash you.
15:24Your designs are eerily related.
15:25She'll charge your legs closed.
15:27My abilities!
15:28My determination, if you want to have to be paid for your sign and phone, is what you already missed on.
15:34Now, I'm not going to slash you again.
15:36Your designs are eerily related.
15:41She'll cut your legs closed.
15:52Oh my god, Mom.
15:53This is insane.
15:54I can't believe we're actually here.
15:56Victoria Winter.
15:58The nuclear pig.
15:59Your mom's basically a legend.
16:01You know that, right?
16:02Yeah.
16:03We've been taking bets on where you'll land after Maison de Vaux.
16:07Their loss is definitely someone else's jackpot.
16:12Wait.
16:13Maison de Vaux?
16:16Well, well.
16:17The Queen of the Order Crown embraces us with her presence.
16:20Great with you to show up here.
16:22What's next?
16:23Applying for retail jobs at the mall?
16:25What?
16:27Leaving so soon.
16:28You haven't introduced me to your princess.
16:32Does Mom get here to build a deal of her little career update about getting canned for not cutting it anymore?
16:40Mom, is that true?
16:41The Queen of the Order?
16:44Don't worry.
16:45She'll explain when she figures out how to keep paying her tuition bills.
16:49Ladies and gentlemen, Victoria Winter.
16:52Still pretending she matters.
16:53Yes.
16:54My mom is one of the most talented designers in this entire room.
16:56If Miss Lone Vaux was putting people like you in charge of the business, then maybe deserves to crash and burn!
17:06Well, look at that.
17:07It seems entitlement runs with the family.
17:08Say whatever you want about me, but leave my daughter out of it.
17:09That's got a stain, huh?
17:10Exposes unemployed in front of your kid and worships you like some kind of hero.
17:11But hey, good news.
17:12There's a factory down the street that's always looking for hard-working children.
17:13If paying the bills is getting tough, maybe send her over there.
17:14That's enough!
17:15That's enough!
17:16You've always been a fraud, Victoria.
17:17You never belonged in this world.
17:18Look at her.
17:19Look at her.
17:20I've got to leave my daughter out of it.
17:22I've got to leave my daughter out of it.
17:23I've got to leave my daughter out of it.
17:24That's got a stain, huh?
17:25Exposes unemployed in front of your kid and worships you like some kind of hero.
17:28But hey, good news!
17:29There's a factory down the street that's always looking for hard-working children.
17:32If paying the bills is getting tough, maybe send her over there.
17:35That's enough!
17:37That's enough!
17:38You've always been a fraud, Victoria.
17:39You never belonged in this world.
17:41You never belonged in this world.
17:43Look at her!
17:44A jobless single mom still pretending she can afford couture.
17:48That dress...
17:50It's a cheap knockoff.
17:54Wearing fakes to Paris Fashion Week is not just pathetic.
17:57It's insulting to everyone here who actually deserves to be here.
18:04What the hell do you think you're doing?
18:06Remove that dress!
18:08We don't tolerate counterfeits in this industry.
18:13Hey, stop it!
18:14Let go of my mom!
18:16Now let's see what garbage is really hiding under that dress.
18:19Take your hands off her now.
18:24Listen.
18:30You're dismissed.
18:31You alright?
18:40You alright?
18:44You alright?
18:46Well, Jesus Christ, that's Vincent Chamellier.
18:50The conclusive leader who never shows up anywhere?
18:52What the hell is he doing with Victoria?
18:54That knockoff?
18:55That you're so eager to trash her for?
19:00It's Chauvinne.
19:04Book Couture.
19:05Winter Collection.
19:07Not even released yet.
19:09Price tag?
19:11300,000.
19:12Wow!
19:14You gave her that.
19:15That's right.
19:16You did.
19:17I would give her the entire damn collection if she wanted it.
19:23Oh my god, everyone mystery solved.
19:25Victoria's backed herself a sugar daddy!
19:29Mr. Billionaire's not a white knight.
19:31He's her walking trust fund.
19:35Victoria's sleeping her way from the top.
19:38It's just so predictably desperate.
19:40That's right.
19:44You really don't understand real talent, do you?
19:49For those of you who don't know me,
19:51I'm Vincent Chamellier.
19:53CEO of Jeven.
19:57Yes.
19:59I have been in love with Victoria Winter since high school.
20:03I have followed your career from a distance for years.
20:06Your brilliance.
20:08Your principles.
20:10Your passion.
20:12Victoria, there is no one else like you in this entire industry.
20:16Mom, did you know about this?
20:19I'm not going to pursue anything until she's ready.
20:22But in the meantime, what I will do
20:25is ensure that her incredible talent has the platform that it deserves.
20:29She won't let you down, boss.
20:34You're making a complete ass of yourself, Chevalier.
20:36She's-
20:42Your seats are waiting.
20:48Holy shit.
20:50The industry gold boy and the creative powerhouse together?
20:53Talk about a power couple.
20:55Making all the entire industry.
20:56They're indispensable.
20:57This isn't over, bitch.
20:58Wait till we see what I've prepared for.
20:59You seriously didn't love my mom since high school?
21:01You seriously didn't love my mom since high school?
21:02You seriously didn't love my mom since high school?
21:06You seriously didn't love my mom because she was.
21:07You seriously didn't love my mom since high school.
21:12Have you seriously been in love with my mom since high school?
21:18Some talents. You recognize me. Some people do.
21:29Ladies and gentlemen, before we kick off tonight's show, I have an important announcement.
21:34This woman is nothing but a fraud and a thief.
21:37She's been stealing designs from my creative director for years.
21:42It's true. She took my work and passed it off as her own.
21:46I slaved away on those designs, day and night.
21:52And Victoria had the nerve to pass them off as her own.
21:59That's just particularly iceberg, isn't it, Victoria?
22:02Your entire career is based on lies and manipulation.
22:06That's enough, Holly.
22:08Everyone thinks you're this creative genius, but I know what you really are.
22:13Your personal life is just as fake as the so-called talent.
22:18Did you know she slept with half the executives in the industry?
22:22That's her real design strategy.
22:24Stop it, Holly. You're embarrassing yourself.
22:26And those kids she's so proud of, who knows who their real pockets are.
22:32How dare you!
22:37Jenkins, listen, Michael, it's a disaster in there.
22:40There's something wrong with the collection. It's a fabric.
22:43What now?
22:44The primary drivers are disintegrating onto the lights.
22:54The dresses are literally falling apart.
22:56We've only got 50 minutes off until showtime.
22:59Is this some kind of sick joke in the world?
23:01Are you canceling the show because you're incompetent?
23:04This is completely unprofessional.
23:06I have 10 million invested in this collection.
23:10This is breach of contract!
23:14It's actually fixable.
23:17Ugh.
23:18You can't seriously be thinking about helping with back-stabbing vultures.
23:24Breaking news from Paris Fashion Week.
23:26Masonville Thore appears to be imploding underneath new leadership.
23:29Sources say the entire collection need to cancel, minutes before showtime.
23:33The question on everyone's mind?
23:35Is this the end for the once prestigious fashion weeks?
23:42If this show doesn't happen, you're personally liable for the Breach Countess.
23:47We're talking, you're going to be talking.
23:49No, let's.
24:03Who's to this?
24:15Now!
24:17How?
24:18The fiber supplier must have sent us defective materials.
24:21I can't magically make redresses in an hour!
24:25You have exactly 30 minutes to make this work.
24:28If you don't, those breach penalties are coming out of your pocket!
24:31your pocket. That's billions of dollars. Then you better figure something out. Because if you don't
24:38run where you're fired, I'll make sure you never work in fashion again.
24:53Miss Winter, how do you respond to accusations over design theft?
24:58Is there any truth to Holly Jenkins' claims about your personal life?
25:01Please respect Miss Winter's privacy. And for the record, you'll all soon see who the real thief is. We're gathering evidence as we speak.
25:11What do you want, Mia?
25:21What do you want, Mia?
25:24Vic, I really need your help.
25:27Funny way to ask for a favor after that stunt you just pulled.
25:31Look, I know you're furious. I would be too. But think about Miranda and Believe for a second.
25:36What about them?
25:37What about them?
25:38Their jobs are on the line with this show. If we tank, they're done. Holly will fire them without a second thought.
25:43Please, if you care about them keeping their jobs, just pull this out.
25:46Miranda and Holly are responsible for the show.
25:47Yes, absolutely.
25:48What do you want, Mia?
25:49I'm going to ask for a favor after that stunt you just pulled.
25:50Look, I know you're furious. I would be too. But think about Miranda and Believe for a second.
25:54What about them?
25:55Their jobs are on the line with this show. If we tank, they're done. Holly will fire them without a second thought.
26:02Please, if you care about them keeping their jobs, just pull this out.
26:08Miranda and Pauline are responsible for the show.
26:11Yes, absolutely. And they're counting on this being a hit.
26:15Please, Vic, not for me. For that, me too.
26:20I would have expected them to be here in Paris enough for such a make or break show.
26:25What exactly happened to them, Mia?
26:27They couldn't make it. Holly cut the travel budget. Is that right?
26:37Victoria, I know I don't deserve your help. They do.
26:44Fine. I'll help. But I'm doing this to Miranda and Pauline, not for you.
26:57Oh my god. It's Victoria Winter. The Nuclear Vic.
27:07I need scissors, thread, and fresh lining fabric. Now.
27:17I need royal fuchsia for this stitching. Regular fuchsia won't work with this fabric.
27:22Does anyone have royal fuchsia thread?
27:27In this world?
27:34Vincent, how did you...?
27:38I figured you might need some supplies, so I had my assistant bring over Javen as an emergency kit.
27:46This is perfect, but Javen and Maison Lavo are competitors. Why would you help them?
27:52I'm not helping them. I'm helping you.
27:59I can't ask you to do this without giving me something in return.
28:02I have a design I've been saving. Something special I've never shown anyone. It's yours now.
28:09I don't want your design, Victoria.
28:12Then what do you want?
28:16You.
28:19What?
28:23You're a talent. You're a vision. Come and work as you're in.
28:29I'm in. I'll work for you.
28:32Just like that.
28:33Just like that.
28:34Just like that.
28:35Now, let me finish my final job from this all about.
28:39What?
28:40Cool.
28:42근데 바이너ma
28:44I hate it.
28:46When I'm gone with school.
28:47I wish I was cool.
28:48Like that I'm going to school I regret it.
28:53So I'm get, I'ma get, I'ma get, I'ma get in.
28:57I won't be bad.
28:59Don't let me change you.
29:01I'm gonna be proud of my name
29:04She's doing nits
29:07What would've taken us hours?
29:10Whoa
29:10No wonder they call it a nuclear vick
29:13It's so fucked up watching her fix my disaster like it's nothing
29:17The woman I replaced making me look like an amateur
29:21Five minutes to show time
29:27We made it
29:31Well, do we pull the plug or not?
29:44We're good, everything's back on track
29:45See?
29:48I knew firing Victoria was the right call
29:50You've got twice your talent
29:51Yeah, right
29:54This is exactly why I promoted you
29:57You mean big success is not making
29:59To Victoria
30:08The real hero of the night
30:10Mom, you're insane
30:22I can't believe you actually fixed that disaster in under an hour
30:26Couldn't have done it without you
30:28You know, if you start dating before we work together, it doesn't count as an office for my ex
30:35Well, well, still hanging around
30:42I thought you were too embarrassed to show your face at the after party
30:45Fraud
30:47Holly, why didn't we ask the models what happened backstage tonight?
30:51What are you talking about?
30:53Just ask the models
30:55Any of them
30:56Oh, and Mia, don't forget about our agreement
31:00About Miranda and Pauline
31:02I think I will
31:04To New Beginning Search event
31:11Speaking of New Beginnings
31:13Emily's private school application is due next month, right?
31:19I want to help with their education
31:20What?
31:21This and that?
31:22That's too much, we barely know each other
31:23Victoria, I've known you since we were 17
31:25I remember watching you win that regional competition in that silver dress, the one you made from scratch
31:33I saw the way your eyes lit up when you talked about changing the fashion world
31:55Do you remember that?
31:57I remember everything
31:59I have followed your career all these years just hoping that our paths would cross again
32:08Why didn't you let her reach out?
32:10We were married
32:13And then you weren't
32:15And then you were building your career
32:18Timing was
32:20Is that right?
32:22Until now
32:29I have been away
32:3420 years to do this
32:36I should probably get this
32:51I should probably get this
32:55Mia?
33:00God, I was so right about firing Victoria
33:06That Milan disaster you turned around? Absolute magic
33:10And now I have an opportunity to complete you in the maps for good
33:14Sean Gosling needs a tuxedo for the Oscars very carpet
33:18Sean Gosling?
33:22He's Sean Gosling?
33:23The very one
33:25Three-time Oscar winner
33:26People's Sexies and Unalive
33:28And if you play our cards right
33:30The next place in me is only both ends there
33:32They're taking pitches now
33:34If he picks yours
33:36This changes everything
33:38For you
33:39For the brand
33:40Where it is
33:41Should have ended in the running too
33:43Landless
33:44This is
33:45Where Victoria are done
33:47I'm sorry
33:48See all the deal?
33:49I'll bump your pay by 20%
33:50I've got this Holly
33:51You won't regret it
33:52God, what am I gonna do?
33:53I can't design menswear
33:54I've got this Holly
33:55You won't regret it
33:56God, what am I gonna do?
33:57I can't design menswear
33:59I barely pulled off the woman's with Victoria's help
34:11Moran and Felina are gone too
34:13I'm completely on my own
34:15If Holly bought that
34:18I saved Milan
34:19And fixed Paris
34:20When it was
34:21All Victoria
34:22Maybe I can squeeze one more vehicle over
34:26I'll go over
34:48Thanks for meeting me
34:49I know things are complicated between us
34:51You mentioned Miranda and Pauline
34:53Cut to the chase
34:56We're pitching for Sean's Oscar tux
35:00Miranda and Pauline are also on the team
35:02Miranda's excellent menswear
35:03She can handle this without me
35:04Please, wait
35:05There's more to it
35:06After Paris
35:07Holly needs someone to blame for the fabric disaster
35:10Miranda and Pauline are on the chopping block
35:13I've been fighting for them
35:15Are you serious?
35:16Holly's due any day now
35:18Trust me
35:19I know
35:20This project is our only shot
35:21If we land it
35:22I can convince Holly to keep them off
35:25Have you worked with Sean before?
35:27No
35:28But I've heard you have
35:29Ages ago
35:31I did a jacket frame for the Metcala
35:33Actually I was sketching a new tuxedo concept here right before I left my son alone
35:38Really?
35:39What concept?
35:40What concept?
35:45Well
35:46Perfect, she's handing everything over without even realizing
35:50I'll use her design to save my ass and land this project
35:54Do you still have any of the sketches on her?
36:09I do
36:11Actually I took them with me when I left myself on the boat
36:15Wait
36:18Miranda went on maternity leave last week
36:21How exactly is she a part of this project?
36:23Well
36:24Since she's the best mentor designer we have
36:27Holly's letting her work from home
36:29Is the company covering her health insurance?
36:32Of course
36:34Vic
36:35Pauline and Miranda's jobs are on the line here
36:38I Lose me the day
36:42Take all the time you need
36:45Mia
36:46Don't make me regret trusting you
36:48Again
36:54Thank you
36:56Pumpkin, I need a quick favor. Remember that tuxedo sketch I was working on before everything was sideways?
37:14The strong gauze in one with the black ties and lapels?
37:17That's the one. Can you check my home office? It should be in the portfolio marked Men's Formal 2025.
37:24Got it. Grace is napping for the perfect timing.
37:28Thanks, sweetie. I just need to double-check with you about that.
37:34Shoulder.
37:38Mom, are you okay?
37:43Miranda?
37:45Rick?
37:50Mom, Mom, what's going on?
37:53Emily, I'll call you right back.
37:57Miranda, what happened? Why the hell are you scrubbing toilets?
38:01Bill's don't pay themselves.
38:03You met my husband, old child with no paycheck, and now there's a newborn at home.
38:09Mia said you were on maternity leave working remotely on the gauzeing project.
38:13What? Isn't this a story she's spinning now?
38:17After you left, she fired every pregnant woman in the company.
38:25No severance, no copper, nothing. Just gone.
38:27That's completely illegal.
38:29Company lawyers said that we all suddenly violated some very performance clause.
38:35All at once. What are the odds, right?
38:39And Polly, parking night shifts at 24 hours down here.
38:43Her sister, Becca Billsky, piled up.
38:47And Mia knew about all this.
38:55Mia.
38:57Front row seat when Hal made an announcement.
38:59Didn't blink.
39:01To be admired in her shiny new creative director title.
39:05She's been using you and Polly to manipulate me.
39:09Telling me her job depended on me helping her.
39:13What?
39:15That bitch!
39:17This ends now.
39:25Damn it!
39:27Inizzle, in Chinese people.
39:29Inizzle and Zocical.
39:31This is right from the mom.
39:33We need approval by our unit.
39:35Can't you see I'm working on something important?
39:39She's a problem.
39:47What are you all looking at? Get back to work!
39:51Victoria would never shoot us on this.
39:53I heard that.
39:55I heard that. You think Victoria is so perfect? Then where is she now? Gone.
40:02Now I'm in charge and if anyone has a problem with that, there's the door.
40:14What the hell is going on here?
40:16Just a great disagreement. Everything is meaningful.
40:20The calls in page tell me it was something presentable.
40:25Of course, I'm just finalizing the details.
40:29Show me.
40:31It's not quite ready.
40:32Now.
40:38This is garbage.
40:40Absolute garbage.
40:42I just need a little more time.
40:44I don't have more time. This is Sean Gosling we're talking about.
40:48It's your thing against this deal instead of us.
40:51What's that?
41:00It's just some inspiration I recorded for the design.
41:05I don't care if you have to sell your soul to the devil,
41:08get me when I design it tomorrow morning,
41:10or pack up your desk by lunch.
41:12I still don't believe I'm using this as leverage.
41:16I still don't believe I'm using this as leverage.
41:21Right on cue.
41:22I made that sketch ASAP.
41:23Miranta and Miranta and Miranta are going to have to do it.
41:24I still don't believe I'm using this as leverage.
41:25Right on cue.
41:29Meet that sketch ASAP.
41:30Miranta and Pauline's futures depend on it.
41:34The absolute nerve of this woman.
41:35I still don't believe I'm using this as leverage.
41:37I still can't believe I'm using this as leverage.
41:40Right on cue.
41:42Meet that sketch ASAP.
41:44Miranta and Pauline's futures depend on it.
41:48Meet that sketch ASAP.
41:51Miranda and Pauline's futures depend on it.
41:54The absolute nerve of this woman!
41:59She'll get her sketch.
42:01And that's when we spin the trap.
42:14You're early.
42:15Vic, I really need that sketch.
42:26I said I'd help, not hand over my design.
42:29Polly's all over me about this.
42:32If I don't have something tonight, Miranda and Pauline are toast.
42:37Still lying, Mia. You'd never learn.
42:40Guess it's payback time.
42:42So, do you want my help or not?
42:45I can walk you through it.
42:46Your design could be just as good.
42:48She's such a snake!
42:52Vic, my stomach is killing me!
42:54Can we run to the pharmacy and get something, please?
42:58Fine.
42:59Don't touch anything.
43:01I'm sorry.
43:03I survived the best.
43:04I'm sorry.
43:22Sorry. I survived the best.
43:24Sorry, I survived all the bits.
43:41You just want her to take your work?
43:43She walked out with exactly what I wanted her to have.
43:48You know, boss, we could pitch ourselves.
43:52Go after the same clients.
43:54Show them what real design looks like.
43:57We're not out yet.
44:11I heard there's a revolution rope.
44:17I figure you can use all the backup you can get.
44:22You're welcome, mom.
44:27I want you and your team as your men.
44:32Full creative control.
44:35On Miranda, your husband is dead.
44:37Handled.
44:39And every casino in the country can tell he's not welcome.
44:43Mr. Shelley, I...
44:45I'm Pauline.
44:47Your sister is in good hands.
44:50The best heart surgeon in the country.
44:52Is already prepping for her next surgery.
44:55Mr. Chevalier!
44:57Thank you!
44:59Don't thank me.
45:00Thank Victoria.
45:02I'm just looking out for the people she believes in.
45:05Vincent, I...
45:07I don't even know what to say.
45:09It's about time.
45:11You all get what you deserve.
45:12You all get what we deserve.
45:18"'
45:22Thank you for listening.
46:22I think the pitch goes out tomorrow.
46:27You've got Grace to sleep.
46:32Yeah.
46:34And Emily's almost finished with her algebra.
46:39Maybe new beginnings aren't so scary after all.
46:42Remember, it's in my red abdomen history.
46:53Maison Laveau sets the bar.
46:56We don't follow trends.
46:58We create them.
46:59Satin black lapels, nod to Mr. Sean Gosling's Metcalfe moment, a blend of tradition and boldness.
47:13I think we can all agree Maison Laveau is back on top.
47:16What is that bitch doing here?
47:28Thank you, Mr. Jenkins, for clearing out your best talent.
47:32My company is thriving because of your generosity.
47:38Didn't expect to see you here.
47:40You'd probably be all tied up with PTA meetings and diaper changes.
47:44I multitask.
47:48Unlike some, I don't need to fire half my staff to feel competent.
47:52You know, Howie, your fresh blood strategies work in wonders.
47:57The office is so empty with echoes.
47:59And the only thing growing at Maison Laveau is the legal risk.
48:05Pregnant woman talk, you know.
48:07Three S&P's and one CEO.
48:10But next, the big sale?
48:12Laugh all you want, Holly.
48:14You're about to see what real team are listening.
48:17And what real loyalty looks like.
48:29Sean, I'm glad you can make it.
48:34We have something very special to show you.
48:39Vic.
48:43I thought you just had a beautiful baby girl.
48:46You never know.
48:47Congratulations.
48:48Thank you, Sean.
48:49It's good to see you.
48:51Let's begin the pitches.
48:54You ready to lose?
48:56You're out of your league.
48:57You should know by now, or I don't play by your rules.
49:08First up, me and McMichael.
49:09Maison Laveau.
49:27Next, Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.
49:40Beautiful work.
49:42Both.
49:43Thanks.
49:47We'll need a few minutes to discuss.
49:48After careful consideration for rewarding Project 2.
50:00Maison Laveau.
50:02Oh, yeah!
50:03Oh, my God.
50:04Of course.
50:06This is what we planned all along.
50:09Was it?
50:09What the hell did you people put me in?
50:21Are you trying to kill me?
50:23Mr. Galsing has a serious allergy to synthetic silk.
50:26Who designed a tuxedo?
50:27Did you even read the brief?
50:29I mean, you must have read the brief.
50:34It's not complicated.
50:36It says no synthetic blends.
50:39I mean, there must be some endless sleep.
50:42Perhaps Mia overlooked something.
50:44A mistake?
50:45I could have been in an emergency room.
50:48Victoria, please, tell these amateurs
50:52how you pulled your ass.
50:53I pulled my design
51:02because the only fabric left was synthetic.
51:05I'd never risk Mr. Galsing's health for a deadline.
51:08And that's why Victoria's the best.
51:10Which actually pays attention.
51:12After reviewing all the entries,
51:14the committee has reached a decision.
51:16The commission goes to
51:17Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.
51:19Mr. Galsing was just a slip-up.
51:25He's designed as a front runner all along.
51:28That's why they picked her first.
51:40Wait, Mia, did you actually steal Victoria's design?
51:44Not to be low, even for you.
51:54Nathan Laveau will be hearing from my letters.
51:58So you know,
51:59I will be supporting Victoria's case
52:02for this event.
52:05We thought Laveau's reputation is toast.
52:08We're suspending all collaborations.
52:14Don't even think about trying to land anywhere else.
52:24You're blacklisted.
52:30Victoria, please.
52:38Victoria, please.
52:40I'll do anything.
52:43Please just help me save the company
52:44that Brad you built for 15 years.
52:48You made your choices, Holly.
52:50Now you live with them.
52:54Why would you go too far?
52:55Sean Galsing's look tonight is a game changer
53:03crafted by the trailblazing team of Joe Menn.
53:06Social media is already calling it
53:08the Winter Revolution.
53:09To the best comeback in fashion history
53:20and to the women who made it happen.
53:23And to the maternity leave
53:25that actually means something.
53:29Mom,
53:31you might want to see this.
53:32Happy birthday, Victoria.
53:47Happy birthday to you!
53:52Nice.
53:53Look!
53:56Maison Laveau on the brink?
53:58The scandal pushes fashion giant
54:00towards bankruptcy.
54:01Ouch!
54:03I guess Karma has a sense of humor.
54:06It's strange, isn't it?
54:11I gave them everything.
54:13Late nights,
54:15weekends,
54:16all the best years
54:17and they tossed us aside
54:18like we were nothing.
54:20Now it's all crashing down.
54:22I thought I felt vindicated.
54:25Honestly,
54:25it's a weird mix.
54:26relief,
54:28sure,
54:29but
54:29also a little bit of grief.
54:32Look,
54:32who said that our best years
54:34are behind us?
54:35Look at this!
54:38She then pushes for
54:39paid leave and parental support
54:41across
54:42all industries.
54:44Victoria,
54:44this is you!
54:46You did this!
54:47Here's to a future
54:49where women don't have
54:51to choose
54:51between our families
54:52and their careers.
54:54Not just for us,
54:55but for every woman
54:56who comes after.
54:58Careful, Vincent.
55:00What's about the best part?
55:08Bye.
55:08Bye.
55:13Victoria Winter.
55:14Will you marry me?
55:23Yes!
55:24A thousand times yes!
55:26Woo!
55:26Woo!
55:39Woo!
55:39Woo!
55:39Woo!
55:39Woo!
55:40Woo!
55:40Woo!
55:40Woo!
55:40Woo!
55:40Woo!
55:40Woo!
55:40Woo!
55:41Woo!
55:42Woo!
55:42Woo!
55:43Woo!
55:44Woo!
55:44Woo!
55:54Woo!
56:04You came.
56:05I thought you'd want to see
56:06New Lepis.
56:08I came because I wanted
56:09to hear it from you.
56:11When word got out
56:12you left,
56:13Clients bailed. The board freed. Numbers taped. I couldn't stop it.
56:21You stood based on the vote into this storm, Holly.
56:28I know. I know. My father...
56:34The stress gave him a heart attack. He won't speak to me anymore.
56:38I destroyed everything. My thoughts slashed in costs and saved us, but instead I gutted the company.
56:47I didn't mean for a time like this.
56:51Maison Lavao isn't dead. I bought it. Last week. The brand. The archives. Even the debt. It's part of Given now.
57:03If you'd be glad, why would you do that?
57:06To make sure that no more women have to suffer because of policies like yours.
57:13You and Victoria. To help you do better than I did.
57:19I'll do it differently.
57:22Goodbye, Holly.
57:36Miss Wintour. I just... I want to thank you. Because of your campaign, my company gave me maternity leave. I can keep working and have my baby. You changed everything. Congratulations. Wishing you and your little one every happens.
58:02You changed everything. I just didn't mean it. You changed everything. You changed everything. You changed everything. I changed everything. I think I didn't have to.
58:12I'm not sure if I did. We should do it. It's fine. You changed everything.
58:15Always.
58:17And now, Joran's new collection, designed by Victoria Ventura and Merti.
