Short filmTranscript
00:00Shit! No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, the system crashed mid-upload, half the collection is the wrong season, we're on everything, no.
00:20Runway is in 48 hours, production starts with these botched designs, we're all dead, not just fire, we're dead, company collapses, our careers are over, come out here and talk to us, we have 8 million tied up in this collection, I have a fashion editor, right now, one word for me, you're industry poison.
00:50Enough.
01:00Vic!
01:02Mia, Japanese indigo.
01:06Miranda, call production, emergency protocol 7.
01:09Pauline, handle those vultures.
01:16Tell the boss to hold all calls, I need 28 minutes.
01:20It's 28 minutes, the whole system takes 15 to reboot.
01:2527 now, tick tock.
01:47And done, crisis averted.
01:50I swear to god, you're not human.
01:5327 minutes.
01:55Holy shit, pre-orders are flooding in, this will shatter every record.
02:05Vic, are you okay?
02:10Just Brax and Hicks, nothing to...
02:12Oh my god, your water broke.
02:17Mom, you were seriously in active labor, while saving the entire company?
02:29Multitasking is my superpower pumpkin?
02:31Dad called, he wanted to know if he should come, but I told him that he lost his visiting privileges, since he decided that his assistance is more comfortable than ours.
02:45Well, the company's yours now, Holly, but there's a condition.
03:01We need to slash costs, immediately.
03:06Layoffs?
03:10That's it without leave.
03:12Oh, dad, I know exactly where to start our cuts.
03:15Well, just remember, whoever cleaned up that Milan disaster, they get immunity.
03:23In fact, um, they deserve a promotion.
03:26No way, this Victoria Wintour saved the company, since she's not even there.
03:37Boss, the Milan collection crisis, averted.
03:41Pre-orders are pouring in.
03:43Ew, you saved the entire collection?
03:45Impressive.
03:46Oh, actually, how about I make you the new creative director, starting today?
03:54Oh my god, is this really happening?
03:57She's offering me Victoria's job?
03:59I can finally get rid of that fish hanging over my head?
04:07But, Victoria...
04:09Don't worry about her.
04:10I'm not useless.
04:11Pre-going to stop fire.
04:12You know that collection I just rescued, Em?
04:20I hid something in the design.
04:23Your initials, and now little graces.
04:27Hold them right into the fabric.
04:33That's the Milan runway?
04:36Plus, the bonus from this collection is substantial.
04:39Enough for your full tuition at private school.
04:42Mom, you ain't have to.
04:44We're going to that private school.
04:46No discussion.
04:48Your sister and I will manage just fine.
04:51This job will keep us afloat.
04:53I love you, Mom.
04:54Holy shit, Holly actually thought I was the one who saved the company.
05:10After all these years in your shadow, Victoria, I'm finally taking what I deserve.
05:15Look, I'm going to fire every single one of them.
05:32Victoria, Victoria is terminated.
05:44Victoria is terminated.
05:46Effective immediately.
05:48You can't just do that.
05:50She's in the hospital having her baby.
05:52There are laws against this.
05:54Vic worked while in labor.
05:57She's the creative backbone of Maison Laveau.
06:00Maternity leave, medical insurance, these preggles are bleeding us dry.
06:05Everything okay here?
06:10Great timing.
06:12Victoria Wintour, you're fired.
06:15Clear out your desk now.
06:17You're Matthew's daughter, aren't you?
06:28I saved this company three times when your father couldn't make payroll.
06:32Three times.
06:35Well, that's ancient history.
06:39The board wants fresh blood.
06:41And Mia here just saved the entire Milan collection.
06:47What?
06:49I'm the one who...
06:51Mia, you...
06:54Feel that curve?
06:57That's your signature.
06:59That's what makes it Maison Laveau.
07:05How could you?
07:07I taught you everything you know.
07:09I wish things were different, Vic.
07:20I should have thought about your career before getting pregnant.
07:23What happens to my team?
07:31Miranda pulled all-nighters for a month straight, working on your father's exclusive collections.
07:37Things got so bad, she had to get hair implants.
07:41Pauline had to cancel her own wedding because of a company meeting at the Louvre.
07:45These jobs are their lifelines.
07:47Health insurance, paid maternity leave, basic human dignity.
07:50You can't just throw them away.
07:53Well, actually, legally speaking, we can.
07:56No mandated paid maternity leave, no real protection.
07:59But hey, that's corporate America for you.
08:02Or we can shift the math.
08:06You sign.
08:07They stay.
08:09The budget works out.
08:11Think of it as...
08:13Taking one for the team.
08:14Miranda's still drowning in her husband's debts.
08:19And Pauline's sister still needs another surgery.
08:22They can't lose their jobs.
08:28Come on, babe.
08:29Who say you care about them?
08:31Prove it.
08:32You can't see.
08:43Take one for the team.
08:47You can't see.
08:50No, trust me.
08:52You don't know what to do.
08:53But I don't know.
08:54And Pauline's sister's brother.
08:54No, trust me.
08:56You can't see.
08:57I don't know what to do.
08:58I don't know what to do.
08:58I don't know how to do the game.
08:59No, I don't feel so.
09:00Oh, my God.
09:00No, I don't know what to do.
09:00I don't know.
09:01Five grand?
09:08That's my severance package after 15 years.
09:11That's what I'm worth to them.
09:26Careful.
09:27I got you.
09:31Vincent?
09:35Vincent Chevalier?
09:38Hi.
09:41High school feels like another lifetime, doesn't it?
09:53So, it's true.
09:55Great Victoria Winter is being shown the door after single-handedly saving Rizan Laveau's Milan collection.
10:06How would you feel about not having to answer to single-minded executives anymore?
10:13Someone with your kind of talent shouldn't be treated like this.
10:16What are you getting at, exactly?
10:22I'm talking about you and me.
10:25Partners.
10:27Your genius, my money.
10:30No corporate BS.
10:33No one holding you back.
10:34I've got a baby to think about now.
10:41And I have an empty corner office with a view and an attached nursery.
10:47Just saying.
10:52Vincent Chevalier, wow.
10:54You didn't expect to see the head of Jauvin, our corporate nemesis, strolling into the office.
11:00Got your spy here?
11:04Don't mind me.
11:05I'm just giving Victoria here a soft landing.
11:09Triple her salary, corner office.
11:12You know, before the vultures at LV or Chanel swoop in.
11:16Oh, so you're dumpster diving now.
11:19Rescuing a washed-up single mom with outdated ideas.
11:23Wow, that's an interesting take to have, considering you wearing Victoria's designs head to toe.
11:29I mean, the jacket, that's Victoria's spring collection, right?
11:34The earrings, that's Victoria's collaboration with Cartier.
11:37If her work is so far beneath you, then maybe you should just strip.
11:44Shit, shit, shit.
11:45What are you talking about?
11:47Victoria designed all of this?
11:54Actually, those were my designs.
12:00What did you just say?
12:02The spring collection.
12:03The Cartier pieces.
12:05I designed them.
12:07Under your supervision, of course, but they came from me.
12:10Oops, looks like you've been backing the wrong horse, Vincent.
12:15I thought you were better than this, Mia.
12:19Then explain my signature on the original sketch dated six months ago.
12:24So what, sketches get passed around all the time.
12:31It doesn't prove squat.
12:33Maybe she was your little, what do they call it?
12:36Best designer?
12:38And the logo?
12:41The EW, woven in.
12:44Victoria's signature mark.
12:46It's been on every major piece she's designed for years.
12:48Well, Mia, explain it and make me shut up.
12:55It's funny.
12:56All those pieces from the Milan collection that everyone's losing whenever they were,
13:01they all have EW and GW's so near, too.
13:04Victoria's daughter is Emily Winter.
13:08Her newborn is Grace Winter.
13:12It's just quite a coincidence that those initials should appear in all your designs.
13:16Mia, is there a special EW and GW in your life, too?
13:21Well, Mia, tell them.
13:23Tell them you designed this.
13:25Tell them you saved Milan.
13:26The logo, it's, it's adapted based on traditional motifs.
13:34You lying little bitch!
13:37Dr. Moshin is for saving the company!
13:43Look at the logo again.
13:45It's not EW or GW.
13:49It's actually two M's.
13:52M.M.
13:53For McMichael, my last name.
13:56See?
13:59One M flipped.
14:01One upright.
14:02It's not for Grace or Emily.
14:05It's mine.
14:07That is absolutely ridiculous.
14:10Oh my god, she's right.
14:12It does look more like two M's.
14:16You manipulative bitch.
14:17You really thought you could steal the credit from my star designer.
14:21You learned wow, Mia.
14:24Maybe too well.
14:26You'll regret this.
14:29Come on, Vincent.
14:31We don't have to sink to their level.
14:34Okay.
14:35Then let me drive you home, okay?
14:37My Ferrari is outside.
14:38If I got this, you shouldn't be caring anymore, Mia.
14:46Congratulations on your promotion, Mia.
14:50Just take care of Amanda and Pauline, Mia.
14:53That's right, get the hell out of my company.
14:58Go lead your 401k somewhere else.
15:07Pauline, Victoria.
15:08A VIP invitation, as fashion will be.
15:13I didn't even find it.
15:17Lightning.
15:17Every pregnant woman fired.
15:28All of us.
15:30Just like that.
15:32No severance.
15:33No warning.
15:34Nothing.
15:34But a box and a security escrow.
15:42Finally purge the company of those walking liabilities.
15:46Their termination paperwork practically paid for your sign and bonus might rise in star.
15:50Now, about Paris fashion will be.
15:54Their designs are eagerly awaited.
15:59You should have kept your legs closed.
16:01Oh my god, mom.
16:11This is insane.
16:13I can't believe we're actually here.
16:15Victoria Wintour.
16:16The Nuclear Vic.
16:17Your mom's basically a legend.
16:19You know that, right?
16:21We've been taking bets on where you'll land after Maison Leveau.
16:25Their loss is definitely someone else's jackpot.
16:28Wait.
16:31Maison Leveau?
16:34Well, well.
16:35The Queen without her crown graces us for her presence.
16:38Brave of you to show up here.
16:40What's next?
16:41Applying for retail jobs at the mall?
16:44Let's go.
16:45Leaving so soon?
16:46You haven't introduced me to your princess.
16:49Has Mommy Dearest filled you in on her little career update about getting canned for not cutting it anymore?
16:55Mom, is that true?
17:02Don't worry.
17:03She'll explain once she figures out how to keep paying your tuition bills.
17:07Ladies and gentlemen, Victoria Wintour.
17:10Still pretending she matters.
17:11My mom is one of the most talented designers in this entire room.
17:19If Maison Leveau was putting people like you in charge of the business, then maybe it deserves to crash and burn.
17:26Well, look at that.
17:27It seems entitlement runs in the family.
17:30Say whatever you want about me, but leave my daughter out of it.
17:34That's got to sting, huh?
17:36Exposed as unemployed in front of your kid who worships you like some kind of hero.
17:39But hey, good news.
17:42There's a factory down the street that's always looking for hardworking children.
17:46If paying the bills is getting tough, maybe send her over there.
17:50That's enough.
17:55That's enough.
17:56You've always been a fraud, Victoria.
17:59You never belonged in this world.
18:01Look at her.
18:03A jobless single mom still pretending she can afford couture.
18:07That dress.
18:09It's a cheap knockoff.
18:13Wearing fakes to Paris Fashion Week, it's not just pathetic.
18:17It's insulting to everyone here who actually deserves to be here.
18:20What the hell do you think you're doing?
18:26Remove that dress.
18:28We don't tolerate counterfeits in this industry.
18:33Hey, stop it.
18:34Let go of my mom.
18:36Now let's see what garbage is really hiding under that dress.
18:39Take your hands off her now.
18:44Vincent.
18:45You're dismissed.
18:59You're right.
19:04You're right.
19:05I'm fine.
19:06Jesus Christ, that's Vincent Chevalier.
19:09The reclusive billionaire who never shows up anywhere?
19:12What the hell is he doing with Victoria?
19:13That knockoff that you're so eager to trash her for?
19:21It's Chauvin.
19:23Vot Couture.
19:24Winter collection.
19:26Not even released yet.
19:29Price tag?
19:30300,000.
19:32Wow!
19:33You gave her that.
19:35That's right.
19:36You did.
19:39I would give her the entire damn collection if she wanted it.
19:42Oh my god, everyone, mystery solved.
19:46Victoria's bagged herself a sugar daddy.
19:49Mr. Billionaire's not a white knight.
19:52He's your walking trust fund.
19:56Victoria's sleeping her weight at the top.
19:58It's just so predictably desperate.
20:01You really don't understand real talent, do you?
20:09For those of you who don't know me,
20:12I'm Vincent Chevalier,
20:13CEO of Jeven.
20:15Yes, I have been in love with Victoria Winter since high school.
20:23I've followed your career from a distance for years.
20:27Your brilliance.
20:29Your principles.
20:30Your passion.
20:33Victoria, there is no one else like you in this entire industry.
20:36Mom, what did you know about this?
20:39Now, I'm not going to pursue anything until she's ready.
20:43But in the meantime, what I will do
20:45is ensure that her incredible talent has the platform that it deserves.
20:50She won't let you down, boss.
20:55You're making a complete ass of yourself, Chevalier.
20:58She's nothing but a has-been.
21:01The show is about to start.
21:03Your seats are waiting.
21:04Holy shit.
21:11The industry golden boy and the creative powerhouse together?
21:14Talk about a power couple.
21:16They can run the entire industry.
21:19This isn't over, bitch.
21:22Wait till you see what I've prepared for you.
21:24So you seriously been in love with my mom since high school?
21:40Some talents you recognize immediately.
21:45Some people too.
21:46Ladies and gentlemen, before we kick off tonight's show,
21:54I have an important announcement.
21:56This woman is nothing but a fraud and a thief.
21:59She's been stealing designs from my creative director for years.
22:03It's true.
22:03She took my work and passed it off as her own.
22:09I've slaved away on those designs, day and night.
22:15And Victoria had the nerve to pass them off as her own.
22:18That's just the tip of the iceberg, isn't it, Victoria?
22:25Your entire career is based on lies and manipulation.
22:29That's enough, Holly.
22:32Everyone thinks you're this creative genius, but I know what you really are.
22:36Your personal life is just as fake as the so-called talent.
22:40Did you know she slept with half the executives in the industry?
22:45That's her real design strategy.
22:47Stop it, Holly.
22:48You're embarrassing yourself.
22:50And those kids she's so proud of?
22:52Who knows who their real fathers are.
22:55How dare you?
22:59Miss Jenkins.
23:01Miss Michaels.
23:02It's a disaster in there.
23:04There's something wrong with the collection.
23:05It's the fabric.
23:07Not now.
23:10The primary fabrics are disintegrating under the light.
23:16The dresses are literally falling apart.
23:19We've only got 50 minutes left until showtime.
23:22Is this some kind of sick joke, Maison Lovato?
23:24Are you canceling the show because of your incompetence?
23:27This is completely unprofessional.
23:29I have 10 million invested in this collection.
23:34This is breach of contract.
23:38It's actually fixable.
23:40Paul, you can't seriously be thinking about helping with backstabbing vultures.
23:47Breaking news from Paris Fashion Week.
23:50Maison Lovato appears to be imploding underneath new leadership.
23:53Sources say the entire collection may be canceled minutes before showtime.
23:57The question on everyone's mind, is this the end for the once-prestigious fashion groups?
24:06This show doesn't happen.
24:08You're personally liable for the breach penalties.
24:11We're talking billions, Holly.
24:13Billions.
24:14What's this?
24:38Now.
24:41How?
24:42The fabric supplier must have sent us defective materials.
24:45I can't magically make new dresses in an hour.
24:49You have exactly 30 minutes to make this work.
24:52If you don't, those breach penalties are coming out of your pocket.
24:56That's billions of dollars.
24:59Then you better figure something out.
25:01Because if you don't, not only are you fired, I'll make sure you never work in fashion again.
25:06Miss Winter, how do you respond of accusations over design theft?
25:22Is there any truth to Holly Jenkins' claims about your personal life?
25:26Please respect Miss Winter's privacy.
25:30And for the record, you'll all soon see who the real thief is.
25:33We're gathering evidence as we speak.
25:47Excuse me.
25:49Excuse me.
25:51It's okay, punk.
25:53I'll be right.
25:59What do you want, Mia?
26:03Vic, I really need your help.
26:07Funny way to ask for a favor after that stunt you just pulled.
26:12Look, I know you're furious.
26:15I would be too.
26:16But think about Miranda and Pauline for a second.
26:19What about them?
26:20Their jobs are on the line with this show.
26:23If we tank, they're done.
26:25Holly will fire them without a second thought.
26:27Please, if you care about them keeping their jobs, just help us out here.
26:34Miranda and Pauline are responsible for this show.
26:36Yes, absolutely.
26:38And they're counting on this being a hit.
26:41Please, Vic, not for me.
26:43For them.
26:44For it's blue.
26:46I would have expected them to be here in Paris, you know, for such a make-or-break show.
26:49What exactly happened to them, Mia?
26:55They...
26:56They couldn't make it.
26:58Holly cut the travel budget.
27:01Is that right?
27:03Victoria, I know I don't deserve your help.
27:08They do.
27:10Fine.
27:12I'll help you.
27:13But I'm doing this for Miranda and Pauline.
27:16Not for you.
27:19Oh, my God.
27:29It's Victoria Winter.
27:31The nuclear VEC.
27:32I need scissors, thread, and fresh lining fabric.
27:35Now.
27:42I need royal fuchsia for the stitching.
27:44Regular fuchsia won't work for this fabric.
27:47Does anyone have royal fuchsia thread?
27:49Would this work?
27:59Vincent, how did you...
28:02I figured you might need some supplies, so I had my assistant bring over Joven's emergency kit.
28:08This is perfect, but Joven and Maison Laveau are competitors.
28:15Why would you help them?
28:17I can't ask you to do this without giving me something in return.
28:27I have a design I've been saving.
28:30Something special I've never shown anyone.
28:33It's yours now.
28:35I don't want your design, Victoria.
28:37Then what do you want?
28:41You.
28:44What?
28:48Your talent.
28:50Your vision.
28:52Come and work as you're in.
28:55I'm in.
28:56I'll work for you.
28:58Just like that?
28:59Just like that.
29:00Now, let me finish my final job for Maison Laveau.
29:04I hate it when I'm gone.
29:12I wish I was cool.
29:14Like the new girl at school.
29:17I regret it.
29:18So I'ma get, I'ma get, I'ma get, I'ma get out.
29:21I want me back.
29:24Don't ever change.
29:26I'm gonna be proud of my name.
29:30She's doing it in minutes.
29:34What would have taken us hours?
29:36Whoa.
29:37No wonder they call her the nuclear vic.
29:39It's so fucked up watching her fix my disaster like it's nothing.
29:43The woman I replaced making me look like an amateur.
29:51Five minutes till showtime.
29:53You made it.
29:54Well, do we pull the plug or not?
30:10We're good.
30:10Everything's back on track.
30:12See?
30:14I knew firing Victoria was the right call.
30:16You've got twice your talent.
30:19Yeah.
30:20Right.
30:21This is exactly why I promoted you.
30:23You need to fix this, just not make them.
30:32To Victoria.
30:35The real hero of the night.
30:47Mom, you're insane.
30:49I can't believe you actually fixed that disaster in under an hour.
30:52I couldn't have done it without you.
30:56You know, if you start dating before you work together, it doesn't count as an office romance.
31:01Well, well, still hanging around.
31:09I thought you'd be too embarrassed to show your face at the after party.
31:12Fraud.
31:13Pauline, why don't you ask the models what happened backstage tonight?
31:18What are you talking about?
31:20Just ask the models.
31:21Any of them.
31:22Oh, and Mia.
31:26Don't forget about our agreement.
31:28About Miranda and Pauline.
31:30I will.
31:30I will.
31:31Two new beginnings at Chauvin.
31:38Two new beginnings at Chauvin.
31:44Speaking of new beginnings.
31:47Emily's private school application is due next month, right?
31:50Victoria, I want to help with their education.
31:55What?
31:56Vincent, that's too much.
31:58We barely know each other.
32:00Victoria, I've known you since we were 17.
32:04I remember watching you win that regional competition in that silver dress, the one you made from scratch.
32:15I saw the way your eyes lit up when you talked about changing the fashion world.
32:22You remember that?
32:23I remember everything.
32:26I have followed your career all these years, just hoping that our paths would cross again.
32:34Why didn't you ever reach out?
32:37We were married.
32:40And then you weren't.
32:41And then you were building your career.
32:44Timing was never right.
32:48Until now.
32:58I have been waiting.
33:0120 years to do that.
33:04I should probably get this.
33:18I should probably get this.
33:26Mia?
33:27God, I was so right about firing Victoria.
33:34That Milan disaster you turned around?
33:35Absolute magic.
33:37And now I have an opportunity that could put you on the map for good.
33:41Sean Gosling needs a tuxedo for the Oscars' red carpet.
33:45Sean Gosling?
33:47Sean Gosling?
33:48The Sean Gosling?
33:50The very one, three-time Oscar winner, People's Sexiest Man Alive, and if you play our cards right, the next face of Maison will go anywhere.
33:58They're taking pitches now.
34:00If he picks yours, this changes everything.
34:03For you, for the brand.
34:05Where it is, Joven's in the running too.
34:08Land this, Vincent and his poor Victoria are done.
34:12Sealed the deal?
34:13I'll bump your pay by 20%.
34:14I've got this, Holly.
34:15You won't regret it.
34:16God, what am I going to do?
34:18I can't design menswear.
34:21I've barely pulled off the woman's of Victoria's help.
34:22Miranda and Felina are gone too.
34:25I'm completely on my own.
34:39If Holly bought that I Saved Milan and fixed Paris when it was left, I'm not going to buy
34:47when it was all Victoria,
34:50maybe I can squeeze one more miracle over it.
35:15Thanks for meeting me.
35:16I know things are complicated between us.
35:18You mentioned Miranda and Pauline,
35:21cut to the chase.
35:25We're pitching for Sean's Oscar tux.
35:27Miranda and Pauline are also on the team.
35:29Miranda's excellent with menswear.
35:30She can handle this without me.
35:31Please wait, there's more to it.
35:34After Paris,
35:35Holly needed someone to blame for the fabric disaster.
35:38Miranda and Pauline are on the chopping block.
35:41I've been fighting for them.
35:43Are you serious?
35:44Pauline's due any day now.
35:46Trust me, I know.
35:48This project is our only shot.
35:49If we land it,
35:50I can convince Holly to keep them both.
35:53Have you worked with Sean before?
35:55I know, but I've heard you have.
35:58Ages ago,
36:00I did a jacket for him for the Met Gala.
36:03Actually, I was sketching a new tuxedo concept for him
36:05right before I left Maison L'Avon.
36:07Really?
36:08What concept?
36:13Well...
36:27Perfect.
36:27She's handing everything over without even realizing.
36:30I'll use her design to save my ass and land this project.
36:35Do you still have any of the sketches somewhere?
36:38I do.
36:40Actually, I took them with me when I left Maison L'Avon.
36:43Wait.
36:44Miranda went on maternity leave last week.
36:45How exactly is she part of this project?
36:47Well, since she's the best menswear designer we have,
36:50Holly's letting her work from home.
36:51Is the company covering her health insurance?
36:53Of course, Vic.
36:54Pauline and Miranda's jobs are on the line here.
36:56You need to leave your body.
36:57Take all the time you need.
36:58Mia,
36:59don't make me regret trusting you.
37:00I'm sorry.
37:01I'm sorry.
37:02I'm sorry.
37:03I'm sorry.
37:04I'm sorry.
37:05I'm sorry.
37:06I'm sorry.
37:07I'm sorry.
37:08I'm sorry.
37:09I'm sorry.
37:10I'm sorry.
37:11I'm sorry.
37:12I'm sorry.
37:13I'm sorry.
37:14I'm sorry.
37:15I'm sorry.
37:16I'm sorry.
37:17I'm sorry.
37:18Again.
37:36Pumpkin, I need a quick favor.
37:38Remember that tuxedo sketch I was working on before everything went sideways?
37:42The Shaun Gosling one with the black leather lapels?
37:45That's the one.
37:46Can you check my home office? It should be in the portfolio marked Men's Formal 2025.
37:52Got it. Grace is napping. The perfect timing.
37:56Thanks, sweetie. I just need to double check something about that.
38:02Shoulder.
38:04Instruction.
38:06Mom, are you okay?
38:12Miranda?
38:14Vic?
38:16Mom! Mom! What's going on?
38:22Emily, I'll call you right back.
38:25Miranda, what happened? Why the hell are you scrubbing toilets?
38:30Bills don't pay themselves.
38:32You've met my husband, an old child with no paycheck, and now there's a newborn at home.
38:38Mia said you were on maternity leave working remotely on the gossling project.
38:42What? Is that a story she's spinning now?
38:46After you left, she fired every pregnant woman in the company.
38:52No severance, no cover, nothing. Just gone.
38:55That's completely illegal.
38:57Company lawyers said that we all suddenly violated some buried performance clause.
39:04All at once. What are the odds, right?
39:07And Polly, parking night shifts at 24 hours diner. Her sister medical bills keep piling up.
39:15And Mia knew about all this.
39:23Mia, front row seat when Holly made an announcement. Didn't even blink.
39:29Too busy admiring her shiny new creative director title.
39:34She's been using you and Pauline to manipulate me. Telling me her job depended on me helping her.
39:41What? That bitch!
39:44This ends now.
39:47Damn it!
39:49Miss Michael, he's just arrived from Milan. We need approval by name for that.
39:51Can't you see I'm working on something important?
40:06What are you all looking at? Get back to work!
40:18Victoria would never treat someone else.
40:22I 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.
40:34Well, at least you could actually design it.
40:41What the hell is going on here?
40:43Just a creative disagreement. Everything's under control.
40:47The Gosling page, tell me you have something presentable.
40:50Of course, I'm just finalizing some details.
40:55Show me.
40:56It's not quite ready.
40:58Now.
41:05This is garbage. Absolute garbage.
41:09I just need a little more time.
41:11We'll have more time. This is Sean Gosling we're talking about.
41:14If Shufan gets this deal instead of us.
41:17What's that?
41:22It's just some inspiration I recorded for the design.
41:29I don't care if you have to sell your soul to the devil, get me when you design me till morning, or pack up your desk by lunch.
41:38I still can't believe I'm using this as leverage.
41:39I still can't believe I'm using this as leverage.
41:43I still can't believe I'm using this as leverage.
41:48I still can't believe I'm using this as leverage.
41:55I still can't believe I'm using this as leverage.
42:02I still can't believe I'm using this as leverage.
42:07Right on cue.
42:12Meet that sketch ASAP.
42:18Miranda and Pauline's futures depend on it.
42:21The absolute nerve of this woman.
42:24She'll get her a sketch.
42:28And that's when we spring the trap.
42:30You're early, Bic.
42:45I really need that sketch.
42:47I said I'd help.
42:56Not hand over my design.
42:58Polly's all over me about this.
43:01If I don't have something tonight, Miranda and Pauline are toast.
43:06Still lying, Mia.
43:08You never learn.
43:09Guess it's payback time.
43:11So, do you want my help or not?
43:14I can walk you through it.
43:15Your design could be just as good.
43:17She's such a snake.
43:21Bic, my stomach is killing me.
43:23Can you run to the pharmacy and get something, please?
43:26Fine.
43:27But don't touch anything.
43:44Sorry, Nick.
43:54Survival of the fittest.
43:56I want you.
43:57You just let her take your work?
43:59you just let her take your work she walked out with exactly what i wanted her to have
44:14you know boss we could pitch ourselves go after the same clients show them what real design looks
44:25like we're not out yet or there's a revolution bro figure you can use all the backup you can get
44:49you're welcome mom i want you and your team as your van full creative control

46:06you
46:12you
46:16you
46:24you
46:28We're here.
46:49And you're still here?
46:51Final tweaks.
46:52The pitch goes out tomorrow.
46:58You've got Grace to sleep.
47:02Yeah.
47:04And Emily's almost finished with her algebra.
47:09Maybe new beginnings aren't so scary after all.
47:17Remember, smile.
47:19We're about to make history.
47:23Maison Laveau sets the bar.
47:26We don't follow trends.
47:28We create them.
47:35Satin black lapels.
47:37Nod to Mr. Sean Gosling's Met Gala moment.
47:40A blend of tradition and boldness.
47:43I think we can all agree Maison Laveau is back on top.
47:53What is that bitch doing here?
47:55What is that bitch doing here?
47:59Thank you, Mr. Jenkins, for clearing out your best talent.
48:03My company is thriving because of your generosity.
48:09I didn't expect to see you here.
48:11We thought you'd be all tied up with PTA meetings and diaper changes.
48:15I multitask.
48:16I multitask.
48:18Unlike some, I don't need to fire half my staff to feel competent.
48:22You know, Holly, your fresh blood strategies work in wonders.
48:27The office is so empty.
48:29The office is so empty, it echoes.
48:30And the only thing growing at Maison Laveau is the legal risk.
48:35Pregnant women talk, you know.
48:36Pregnant women talk, you know.
48:37Three X and 3's in a viral studio.
48:39What's next?
48:40The bake sale?
48:41Laugh all you want, Holly.
48:44You're about to see what real teamwork looks like.
48:47And what real loyalty looks like.
48:50Sean, glad you could make it.
49:05We have something very special to show you.
49:10Vic.
49:14I thought you just had a beautiful baby girl you'd never know.
49:18Congratulations.
49:19Thank you, Sean.
49:20It's good to see you.
49:23Let's begin the pitches.
49:26You ready to lose?
49:27You're out of your league.
49:29You should know by now, I don't play by your rules.
49:35First up, Mia McMichael, Maison Laveau.
50:00Next, Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.
50:05Beautiful work.
50:13Both themes.
50:18We'll need a few minutes to discuss.
50:24After careful consideration,
50:27we're awarding the project to
50:29Maison Laveau.
50:33Oh, yeah!
50:34Oh, my God.
50:35Of course.
50:37This is what you planned all along,
50:40wasn't it?
50:49What the hell did you people put me in?
50:52Are you trying to kill me?
50:54Mr. Gosling has a serious allergy to synthetic silk.
50:57Who designed this tuxedo?
50:59Did you even read the brief?
51:01I mean,
51:04you must have read the brief.
51:06It's not complicated.
51:07It says,
51:08no synthetic blend.
51:10I mean...
51:12It must be some kind of mistake.
51:13Perhaps Mia overlooked something.
51:15A mistake?
51:17I could have ended up in the emergency room.
51:20Victoria,
51:21please,
51:22tell these amateurs
51:23why you pulled your last design.
51:25I'm sorry.
51:25I pulled my design
51:33because the only fabric left
51:35was synthetic.
51:36I'd never risk
51:37Mr. Gosling's health
51:38for a deadline.
51:39And that's why Victoria's the best.
51:42She actually pays attention.
51:43After reviewing all the entries,
51:46the committee has reached a decision.
51:48The commission goes to
51:49Victoria,
51:50Miranda,
51:50and Paul Neen.
51:51It's okay.
51:54Mr. Gosling,
51:55it was just a slip-up.
51:57Mia's design
51:57was the front runner
51:58all along.
51:59That's why
52:00they picked her first.
52:05Maybe everyone
52:06should see this.
52:12Wait,
52:13Mia,
52:13did you actually
52:14steal Victoria's design?
52:19That's a new low.
52:21Even for you.
52:26Maison Laveau
52:27will be hearing
52:28from my liars.
52:30So you know,
52:32I will be supporting
52:33Victoria's case
52:34for design theft.
52:37Maison Laveau's reputation
52:39is toast.
52:40We're suspending
52:41all collaborations.
52:49Don't even think
52:53about trying to land
52:54anywhere else.
52:56You're blacklisted.
53:02Victoria,
53:03please.
53:11Victoria,
53:12please.
53:14I'll do anything.
53:15Please just help me
53:16save the company,
53:17the brand you built
53:18for 15 years.
53:20You made your choices,
53:22Holly.
53:23Now you live with them.
53:26Why don't you
53:27go too far?
53:34Sean Gosling's look
53:35tonight is a game changer
53:36crafted by the trailblazing
53:38team at Joven.
53:39Social media is already
53:40calling it
53:41the Winter Revolution.
53:42To the best comeback
53:52in fashion history
53:53and to the women
53:54who made it happen.
53:56And to the maternity leave
53:57that actually means something.
54:02Mom,
54:04you might want to see this.
54:05happy birthday,
54:16Victoria.
54:19Happy birthday to you!
54:21Happy birthday to you!
54:25Guys, look!
54:29Maison Laveau on the brink
54:31scandal pushes fashion giant
54:33towards bankruptcy.
54:35Ouch!
54:36I guess karma
54:37has a sense of humor.
54:39It's strange,
54:40isn't it?
54:44I gave them everything.
54:47Late nights,
54:48weekends,
54:49all the best years
54:50and they tossed us aside
54:51like we were nothing.
54:54Now it's all crashing down.
54:56I thought I'd feel vindicated.
54:58Honestly,
54:59it's a weird mix.
55:00relief,
55:02sure,
55:03but
55:03also a little bit of grief.
55:06Look,
55:06who said that our best years
55:08are behind us?
55:09Look at this!
55:12Joven pushes for
55:13paid leave
55:14and parental support
55:15across
55:16all industries.
55:18Victoria,
55:18this is you!
55:20You did this!
55:22Here's to a future
55:23where women
55:25don't have to choose
55:26between their families
55:27and their careers.
55:28Not just for us,
55:29but for every woman
55:31who comes after.
55:33Careful,
55:34Vincent.
55:34You almost forgot
55:35the best part.
55:48Victoria Winter.
55:53Will you marry me?
55:54Yes!
55:59A thousand times, yes!
56:01Woo!
56:02Yay!
56:06Take my heart
56:07with hope for your hands.
56:12I've been spending all my days
56:14just trying to have to feel
56:15the weather.
56:19Give me love
56:21when this is
56:22Happy birthday ever.
56:39You came.
56:41I thought you'd want to see me like this.
56:43I came because I wanted to hear it from you.
56:47When word got out, you left.
56:49Clients failed.
56:50The board freaked.
56:53Numbers tanked.
56:54I couldn't stop it.
56:57You steered Maison Laveau into this storm, Holly.
57:04I know.
57:06I know.
57:08My father...
57:10The stress gave him a heart attack.
57:12He won't even speak to me anymore.
57:14I destroyed everything.
57:16My thoughts, slashing costs, would save us, but instead I gutted the company.
57:24I didn't mean for it to end like this.
57:27Maison Laveau isn't dead.
57:29I bought it.
57:31Last week.
57:31The brand, the archives, even the debt.
57:37It's part of Gevin now.
57:39You're glad.
57:40Why would you do that?
57:42To make sure that no more women have to suffer because of policies like yours.
57:49You win, Victoria.
57:52I hope you do better than I did.
57:54I'll do it differently.
57:58Goodbye, Holly.
57:59I'll do it differently.
57:59Goodbye, Holly.
57:59Miss Winter, I just...
58:18I wanted to thank you.
58:20Because of your campaign, my company gave me maternity leave.
58:24I can't keep working and have my baby.
58:30You changed everything.
58:34Congratulations.
58:36Wishing you and your little one every happens.
58:47Ready?
58:51Always.
58:54And now, Gevin's new collection, designed by Victoria, Wintour, and Routou.
