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.
05:45Victoria, is terminated.
05:46Effective immediately.
05:48You can't just do that.
05:50She's in the hospital having her baby.
05:52They're a loss 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.
08:32Do you have to know yourself?
08:35What?
08:38That's the test.
08:51No.
08:53No.
08:53No.
08:53No.
08:55No.
08:56No.
08:57No.
08:58No.
08:58Five grand?
09:08That's my severance package after 15 years.
09:11That's what I'm worth to them.
09:25Careful.
09:27I got you.
09:28I got you.
09:34Vincent?
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 LeBeau's Milan collection.
10:03How 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?
10:20I'm talking about you and me.
10:23Partners.
10:24Your genius, my money, no corporate BS, no one holding you back.
10:29I've got a baby to think about now.
10:30And I have an empty corner office with a view and an attached nursery.
10:45Just saying.
10:46Vincent Chevalier, wow.
10:46You didn't expect to see the head of Joven, our corporate nemesis, strolling into the office.
10:59You got your spy here?
11:00Don't mind me, I'm just giving Victoria your soft landing, triple her salary, corner office, you know, before the vultures at LV or Chanel swoop in.
11:16Oh, so you're dumpster diving now, rescuing 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.
11:28I 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.
11:43Shit, shit, shit.
11:45What are you talking about?
11:47Victoria designed all of this?
11:50Actually, those were my designs.
11:57What did you just say?
12:01The 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.
12:14I thought you were better than this, ma'am.
12:18Then explain my signature on the original sketch dated six months ago.
12:24So what?
12:25Skitches get passed around all the time.
12:26It doesn't prove squat.
12:27Maybe she was your little, what do they call it?
12:28Breast designer?
12:29And the logo?
12:30The EW, woven in.
12:31Victoria's signature mark.
12:32It's been on every major piece she's designed for years.
12:33Well, Mia, explain it.
12:34Make her shut up.
12:35It's funny.
12:36All those pieces from the Milan collection that everyone's losing in her heart.
12:37They all have EW and GW sewn in, too.
12:38But it's funny.
12:39All those pieces from the Milan collection that everyone's losing in her heart.
12:40They all have EW and GW sewn in, too.
12:41Victoria's daughter is Emily Winter.
12:42Her newborn is Grace Winter.
12:43Her new born is Grace Winter.
12:44The EW, woven in.
12:45The EW woven in.
12:46Victoria's signature mark.
12:47It's been on every major piece she's designed for years.
12:49Well, Mia, explain it.
12:50Make her shut up.
12:51It's funny.
12:56All those pieces from the Milan collection that everyone's losing in her heart.
13:02They all have EW and GW sewn in, too.
13:05Victoria's daughter is Emily Winter.
13:08Her new born is Grace Winter.
13:11It's just quite a coincidence that those initials should appear in all your designs, Mia.
13:17Is 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.
13:27The logo, it's...
13:30It's adapted based on traditional motifs.
13:34You lying little bitch!
13:37That promotion is for saving the company!
13:43Look at the logo again.
13:45It's not EW or GW.
13:49It's actually two Ms.
13:52MM for McMichael, my last name.
13:56See?
13:57One M flipped.
13:59One upright.
14:00It's not for Grace or Emily.
14:05It's mine.
14:06That is absolutely ridiculous.
14:09Oh my god, she's right.
14:11It does look more like two Ms.
14:13You manipulative bitch.
14:14You really thought you could steal the credit from my star designer.
14:22You learned well, Mia.
14:25Maybe too well.
14:26You'll regret this.
14:28I'm not concerned.
14:30We don't have to sink to their level.
14:33Okay.
14:34Then let me drive you home, okay?
14:36My Ferrari is outside.
14:38If I got this, you shouldn't be carrying it anymore.
14:42Congratulations on your promotion, Mia.
14:48Just take care of your mother and Pauline, Mia.
14:52That's right!
14:53Get the hell out of my company!
14:57Go lead your 401k somewhere else.
15:00Pauline, Victoria.
15:11VIP invitation, perhaps fashion room.
15:14Front row.
15:15I didn't even find it.
15:17Lightning.
15:26Every pregnant woman fired.
15:28All of us.
15:30Just like that.
15:31No severance.
15:33No warning.
15:34Nothing.
15:35But a box and a security escort.
15:42Finally purge the company of those walking liabilities.
15:46Their termination paperwork practically paid for your sign
15:49and bonus my writing star.
15:51Now, about Paris fashion room.
15:54Your designs are eerily awaited.
15:58You should have kept your legs closed.
16:10Oh my god, mom.
16:11This is insane.
16:12I can't believe we're actually here.
16:14Victoria Winsford.
16:16The Nuclear Vic.
16:17Your mom's basically a legend.
16:18You know that, right?
16:19We've been taking bets on where you'll land after Maison Léveau.
16:24Their loss is definitely someone else's jackpot.
16:27Wait, Maison Léveau?
16:28Well, well.
16:29The Queen without her crown graces us for her presence.
16:30Brave of you to show up here.
16:31What's next?
16:32Applying for retail jobs at the mall?
16:33Let's go.
16:34Leaving so soon.
16:35You haven't introduced me to your princess.
16:36Has mommy dearest filled you in on her little career update about getting canned for not cutting it anymore?
16:51Mom, is that true?
16:52Don't worry.
16:53She'll explain once she figures out how to keep paying your tuition bills.
17:06Ladies and gentlemen, Victoria Winter, still pretending she matters.
17:13My mom is one of the most talented designers in this entire room.
17:19If Maison Léveau 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.
17:29Say whatever you want about me, but leave my daughter out of it.
17:33That's got a sting, huh?
17:35Exposed as unemployed in front of your kid who worships you like some kind of hero.
17:40But 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.
18:14Wearing 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! Let 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.
18:50You're dismissed.
18:51You all right?
18:52You all right?
18:53I'm full.
18:54Jesus Christ, that's Vincent Chevalier.
18:55The reclusive billionaire who never shows up anywhere?
18:57What the hell is he doing with Victoria?
18:58What the hell is he doing with Victoria?
18:59That knockoff that you so eager to trash her for?
19:03It's Cheven.
19:04Votte Couture.
19:05Votte Couture.
19:06Winter Collection.
19:07Not even released yet.
19:08Price tag?
19:09300,000.
19:10Wow.
19:11That's right.
19:12That's right.
19:13That's right.
19:14I'm full.
19:15You're right.
19:16I'm full.
19:17Jesus Christ, that's Vincent Chevalier.
19:18The reclusive billionaire who never shows up anywhere?
19:19What the hell is he doing with Victoria?
19:20That knockoff?
19:21That you so eager to trash her for?
19:24It's Cheven.
19:26Votte Couture.
19:27Winter Collection.
19:28Not even released yet.
19:29Price tag?
19:31300,000.
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.
19:43Oh my god, everyone mystery solved.
19:45Victoria's bagged herself a sugar daddy.
19:50Mr. Billionaire's not a white knight, he's your walking trust fund.
19:56Victoria's sleeping her weight at the top.
19:58It's just so predictably desperate.
20:04You really don't understand real talent, do you?
20:09For those of you who don't know me, I'm Vincent Chevalier.
20:14CEO of Jeven.
20:17And yes, I have been in love with Victoria Winter since high school.
20:21Have followed your career from a distance for years.
20:26Your brilliance.
20:28Your principles.
20:30Your passion.
20:32Victoria, there is no one else like you in this entire industry.
20:37Mom, did you know about this?
20:38Now I'm not going to pursue anything until she's ready.
20:43But in the meantime, what I will do is ensure that her incredible talent has the platform that it deserves.
20:51She won't let you down, boss.
20:52You're making a complete ass of yourself, Chevalier. She's nothing but a has-been.
21:01The show is about to start.
21:03Your seats are waiting.
21:04The industry golden boy and the creative powerhouse together?
21:15Talk about a power couple.
21:17They could run the entire industry.
21:20This 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?
21:41Some talents you recognize immediately.
21:46Some people too.
21:48Ladies and gentlemen, before we kick off tonight's show, I have an important announcement.
21:56This woman is nothing but a fraud and a thief.
22:00She's been stealing designs from my creative director for years.
22:05It's true.
22:07She took my work and passed it off as her own.
22:09I've slaved away on those designs.
22:13Day and night.
22:15And Victoria had the nerve to pass them off as her own.
22:23That's just the tip of the iceberg, isn't it, Victoria?
22:26Your entire career is based on lies and manipulation.
22:30That's enough, Holly.
22:33Everyone thinks you're this creative genius, but I know what you really are.
22:37Your 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.
22:48Stop it, Holly. You're embarrassing yourself.
22:50And those kids she's so proud of? Who knows who their real fathers are.
22:56How dare you?
23:00Miss Jenkins. Miss Michaels.
23:02It's a disaster in there.
23:04There's something wrong with the collection. It's the fabric.
23:07Not now.
23:13The primary fabrics are disintegrating under the lights.
23:17The dresses are literally falling apart.
23:20We've only got 50 minutes left until showtime.
23:23Is this some kind of sick joke, Maisel Maval?
23:25Are you cancelling the show because of your incompetence?
23:26This is completely unprofessional.
23:29I have 10 million invested in this collection.
23:34This is breach of contract.
23:38It's actually fixable.
23:41Well, you can't seriously be thinking about helping with backstabbing vultures.
23:45Breaking news from Paris Fashion Week.
23:50Maisel Maval appears to be imploding underneath new leadership.
23:53Sources say the entire collection may be cancelled minutes before showtime.
23:57The question on everyone's mind, is this the end for the once prestigious fashion groups?
24:02This show doesn't happen.
24:03You're personally liable for the breach penalties.
24:04We're talking billions, Holly.
24:05Billions.
24:06Billions.
24:07Billions.
24:08Billions.
24:09Billions.
24:10Billions.
24:11Billions.
24:12Billions.
24:13Billions.
24:14Billions.
24:15Billions.
24:16Billions.
24:38What is this?
24:39Now.
24:40How?
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.
25:10Miss Winter, how do you respond to accusations over design theft?
25:22Is there any truth to Holly Jenkins' claims about your personal life?
25:26Please respect Miss Winter's privacy.
25:29And for the record, you'll all soon see who the real thief is.
25:31We're gathering evidence as we speak.
25:35What?
25:36Excuse me.
25:37Excuse me.
25:38It's okay, Pop.
25:39I'll be right.
25:40What do you want, Mia?
25:41Vic.
25:42I really need your help.
25:43Funny way to ask for a favor after that stunt you just pulled.
25:44Look.
25:45I know you're furious, but no sweating.
25:47Jamie.
25:48It was probablyπε to go in.
25:49Well done ever.
25:50I am hatteик.
25:51It's okay, Pop.
25:53I'm thankful, referenced.
25:54He is dead,omo.
25:55He 너는 dime 등 Jorge, 너는 사� Oui segundo 거기에 счасть지?
26:01Well done.
26:04What do you want, Mia?
26:05Vic.
26:06I really need your help.
26:08Funny way to ask for a favor after the stunt.
26:10You just pulled.
26:11Look, I know you're furious. I 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. Holly will fire them without a second thought.
26:28Please, 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. And they're counting on this being a hit.
26:41Please, like, not for me. For that first group.
26:46I would have expected them to be here in Paris, you know, for such a make-or-break show.
26:50What exactly happened to them, Mia?
26:55They, they couldn't make it. Holly cut the travel budget.
27:01Is that right?
27:03Toria, I know I don't deserve your help. They do.
27:08Fine.
27:12I'll help you.
27:13But I'm doing this for Miranda and Pauline.
27:16Not for you.
27:17Oh my god.
27:29It's Victoria Winter.
27:31The nuclear veck.
27:32I need scissors, thread, and fresh lining fabric.
27:35Now.
27:35I need royal fuchsia for this stitching.
27:44Regular fuchsia won't work for this fabric.
27:47Does anyone have royal fuchsia thread?
27:52Would this work?
27:53Vincent, how did you...
28:02I figured you might need some supplies, so I had my assistant bring over Joven's emergency kit.
28:11This is perfect, but Joven and Maison Laveau are competitors.
28:15Why would you help them?
28:17I'm not helping them.
28:21I'm helping you.
28:24I 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.
28:38Then what do you want?
28:41You.
28:44What?
28:44You're a talent.
28:50You're a 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.
29:04Oh.
29:06Oh.
29:14She's doing it in minutes.
29:33What would have taken us hours?
29:35Whoa.
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.
30:11See?
30:14I knew firing Victoria was the right call.
30:16You've got twice her talent.
30:19Yeah.
30:20Right.
30:21This is exactly why I promoted you.
30:24You fix this is not make them.
30:26To Victoria.
30:35The real hero of the night.
30:47Mom, you're insane.
30:49I can't believe you actually picked 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.
31:06Well, well, still hanging around.
31:09I thought you'd be too embarrassed to show your face at the after party.
31:12Fraud.
31:14Holly, 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.
31:24Oh, and Mia.
31:26Don't forget about our agreement.
31:28About Miranda and Pauline.
31:30I won't.
31:36Two new beginnings at Chauvin.
31:38Emily's private school application is due next month, right?
31:52I want to help with her education.
31:55What?
31:56Vincent, that's too much.
31:58We barely know each other.
31:59Victoria.
31:59Victoria, I've known you since we were 17.
32:06I remember watching you win that regional competition.
32:11In that silver dress.
32:12The one you made from scratch.
32:15I saw the way your eyes lit up when you talked about changing the fashion world.
32:21Do you remember that?
32:22Do you remember that?
32:23I remember everything.
32:27I have followed your career all these years, just hoping that our paths would cross again.
32:34Why didn't you ever reach out?
32:36Why didn't you ever reach out?
32:36Why didn't you ever reach out?
32:36Why didn't you ever reach out?
32:36Why didn't you ever reach out?
32:37You were married.
32:39And then you weren't.
32:41And then you were building your career.
32:44Timing was never right.
32:47Until now.
32:49I have been waiting for 20 years to do that.
33:14I should probably get this.
33:19Mia?
33:27God, I was so right about firing Victoria.
33:34That Milan disaster you turned around?
33:36Absolute magic.
33:37And now I have an opportunity that can put you on the map for good.
33:41Sean Gosling needs a tuxedo for the Oscars' red carpet.
33:47Sean Gosling?
33:48The Sean Gosling?
33:50The very one. Three-time Oscar winner,
33:52People's Sexiest Man Alive,
33:54and if you play our cards right,
33:56the next face of Maison Nouveau's handswear.
33:59They're taking pitches now.
34:01If he picks yours, this changes everything.
34:04For you, for the brand.
34:06Where it is, Joven's in the running too.
34:09Land this, Vincent and his poor Victoria are done.
34:13Seal the deal? I'll bump your pay by 20%.
34:20I've got this, Holly. You won't regret it.
34:30God, what am I gonna do?
34:32I can't design menswear.
34:34I barely pulled off the woman's with Victoria's help.
34:37Miranda and Felina are gone too.
34:39I'm completely on my own.
34:42If Holly bought that I saved Milan,
34:46and fixed Paris when it was all Victoria,
34:49maybe I can squeeze one more miracle over her.
34:53Thanks for meeting me. I know things are complicated between us.
35:05You mentioned Miranda and Pauline? Cut to the chase.
35:11We're pitching for Sean's Oscar tucks. Miranda and Pauline are also on the team.
35:15Miranda's excellent with menswear. She can handle this without me.
35:18Please, wait. There's more to it.
35:20After Paris, Holly needed someone to blame for the fabric disaster.
35:24Miranda and Pauline are on the chopping block.
35:26I've been fighting for them.
35:27Are you serious?
35:28Are you serious?
35:29Holly's due any day now.
35:30Trust me, I know. This project is our only shot.
35:32If we land it, I can convince Holly to keep them both.
35:35Have you worked with Sean before?
35:36No, but I've heard you have.
35:37Ages ago, I did a jacket for him for the Met Gala.
35:50Actually, I was sketching a new tuxedo concept for him right before I left Maison Llewell.
35:56Really?
35:58I did a jacket for him for the Met Gala.
36:01I was sketching a new tuxedo concept for him right before I left Maison Llewell.
36:06Really? What concept?
36:12Well...
36:13Perfect, she's handing everything over without even realizing.
36:31I'll use her design to save my ass and land this project.
36:34Do you still have any of the sketches somewhere?
36:39I do. Actually, I took them with me when I left Maison Laveau.
36:45Wait.
36:48Miranda went on maternity leave last week. How exactly is she part of this project?
36:52Well, since she's the best menswear designer we have, Holly's letting her work from home.
36:58Is the company covering her health insurance?
37:00Of course, Vic.
37:04Colleen and Miranda's jobs are on the line here.
37:09You need to leave the body.
37:11Take all the time you need.
37:13Mia.
37:15Don't make me regret trusting you.
37:18Again.
37:18Pumpkin, I need a quick favor.
37:38Remember that tuxedo sketch I was working on before everything went sideways?
37:42The Sean Gosselin one with the black satin lapels?
37:45That's the one.
37:47Can you check my home office?
37:48It should be in the portfolio marked Men's Formal 2025.
37:52Got it.
37:54Grace is napping.
37:55The perfect timing.
37:56Thanks, sweetie.
37:57I just need to double check something about that.
38:03Shoulder.
38:04Instruction.
38:05Mom, are you okay?
38:12Miranda?
38:14Vic?
38:18Mom, Mom, what's going on?
38:22Emily, I'll call you right back.
38:25Miranda, what happened?
38:27Why the hell are you scrubbing toilets?
38:30Bills don't feed themselves.
38:31You 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 Gosselin project.
38:42What?
38:43Is that a story she's spinning now?
38:48After you left, she fired every pregnant woman in the company.
38:52No severance, no cover, nothing.
38:55Just gone.
38:57That's completely illegal.
38:58Company lawyer said that we all suddenly violated some very performance clause.
39:04All at once.
39:06What are the odds, right?
39:08And Polly, parking night shifts at 24 hours diner.
39:13Her sister medical bills keep piling up.
39:15And Mia knew about all this.
39:23Mia.
39:25Front row seat when Holly made an announcement.
39:28Didn't even blink.
39:30Too busy admiring her shiny new creative director title.
39:35She's been using you and Polly to manipulate me.
39:38Telling me her job depended on me helping her.
39:41What?
39:43That bitch!
39:44This ends now.
39:53Damn it!
39:59Miss Michael, he's just arrived from Milan.
40:02We need approval by name for that.
40:04Can't you see I'm working on something important?
40:06What are you all looking at?
40:17Get back to work!
40:19Victoria would never treat us.
40:22I heard that.
40:24You think Victoria is so perfect?
40:27Then where is she now?
40:29Gone.
40:30Now 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?
40:44Just a creative disagreement.
40:46Everything's under control.
40:47The Gosling page.
40:48Tell me you have something presentable.
40:50Of course, I'm just finalizing some details.
40:56Show me.
40:58It's not quite ready.
40:59Now.
41:05This is garbage.
41:08Absolute garbage.
41:10I just need a little more time.
41:11We'll have more time.
41:13This is Sean Gosling we're talking about.
41:14If Shuf Ben gets this deal instead of us.
41:21What's that?
41:27It's just some inspiration I recorded for the design.
41:32I don't care if you have to sell your soul to the devil.
41:35Get me when you design me tomorrow morning.
41:37Or pack up your desk by lunch.
41:39I still can't believe they're using this as leverage.
42:05I still can't believe they're using this as leverage.
42:09Right on cue.
42:16Meet that sketch ASAP.
42:18Miranda and Pauline's futures depend on it.
42:22The absolute nerve of this woman.
42:27She'll get her a sketch.
42:28And that's when we spring the trap.
42:31Right.
42:32You're early.
42:44Vic.
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.
43:03Miranda and Pauline are toast.
43:06Still lying Mia.
43:07You never learn.
43:09Guess it's payback time.
43:11So.
43:12Do you want my help or not?
43:13I can walk you through it.
43:15Your design could be just as good.
43:17She's such a snake.
43:21Vic.
43:21My stomach is killing me.
43:23Can you run to the pharmacy and get something please?
43:26Fine.
43:28Don't touch anything.
43:29I'm sorry about the survival of the fittest.
43:57You just let her take your work?
44:12She walked out with exactly what I wanted her to have.
44:17You know boss.
44:19We could pitch ourselves.
44:21Go after the same clients.
44:23Show them what real design looks like.
44:25We're not out yet.
44:40I heard there's a revolution bro.
44:46Figure you can use all the backup you can get.
44:51You're welcome mom.
44:53I want you and your team as your van.
45:01Full creative control.
45:04I'm Miranda.
45:05Your husband's debt.
45:07Handled.
45:08And every casino in the country has been told he's not welcome.
45:12Mr. Chirulier, I...
45:15I'm Pauline.
45:16Your sister is in good hands.
45:18The best heart surgeon in the country is already prepping for her next surgery.
45:24Mr. Chirulier, thank you.
45:28Don't thank me.
45:29Thank Victoria.
45:31I'm just looking out for the people she believes in.
45:35Vincent, I...
45:36I don't even know what to say.
45:38It's about time you all get what you deserve.

46:48And you're still here
46:50Final tweaks, the pitch goes out tomorrow
46:54You've got Grace to sleep
47:00Yeah
47:02And Emily's almost finished with her algebra
47:07Maybe new beginnings aren't so scary after all
47:12Remember, smile, we're about to make history
47:20Maison Laveau sets the bar
47:26We don't follow trends, we create them
47:30Satin black lapels
47:36Nod to Mr. Sean Gosling's Met Gala moment
47:40A blend of tradition and boldness
47:42I think we can all agree Maison Laveau is back on top
47:46What is that bitch doing here?
47:54Thank you Mr. Jenkins for clearing out your best talent
48:00My company is thriving because of your generosity
48:08Didn't expect to see you here
48:10We thought you'd be all tied up with PTA meetings and diaper changes
48:14I 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
48:28The office is so empty, it echoes
48:31And the only thing growing at Maison Laveau is the legal risk
48:35Pregnant women talk, you know
48:37Three X and threes in a virus video
48:40What's next? The bait sale?
48:43Laugh all you want Holly
48:45You're about to see what real teamwork looks like
48:48And what real loyalty looks like
48:52Sean, 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, it's good to see you
49:22Let's begin the pitches
49:26You ready to lose?
49:27You're out of your league
49:28You should know by now, I don't play by your rules

49:41Thank you
49:59Next, Victoria, Miranda and Pauline
50:02Beautiful work

50:19After careful consideration
50:21After careful consideration
50:22We're awarding the project to
50:23Maison Laveau
50:24After careful consideration
50:25After careful consideration

50:42Did you even read the brief?
50:44I mean, did you must have read the brief?
50:46I mean, did you must have read the brief?
50:48It's not complicated
50:49It says no synthetic blend
50:50I mean
50:51It must be some kind of mistake
50:52Perhaps Mia opened the door
50:54I did not get into a crowd
50:55I am so confused

50:57Are you trying to kill me?

51:05It's not complicated
51:07It says no synthetic blend
51:10I mean
51:11It must be some kind of mistake
51:12some kind of mistake perhaps mia overlooked something a mistake i could have ended up in
51:18the emergency room victoria please tell these amateurs why you pulled your last design
51:32i pulled my design because the only fabric left was synthetic i'd never risk mr gossings health
51:38for a deadline and that's why victoria is the best she actually pays attention after reviewing all the
51:44entries the committee has reached a decision the commission goes to victoria miranda and paul mien
