Laid Off While Pregnant - Full Movie
Transcript
00:00Shit! No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:12The system crashed mid-upload.
00:14Half the collection was the wrong season.
00:16Wrong everything.
00:18No.
00:20It's been 48 hours.
00:24Production starts with these botched designs.
00:26We're all dead.
00:28Not just fired.
00:30Company collapses. Our careers are over.
00:33Come out here and talk to us.
00:35We have eight million tied up in this collection.
00:38I have a fashion editor from Mo.
00:40Right now. One word for me.
00:42You're in some poison.
00:44Enough.
00:58Vic!
00:59Mia, Japanese indigo.
01:03Miranda, call production emergency protocol seven.
01:07Pauline, handle those vultures.
01:15Tell the boss to hold all calls any 28 minutes.
01:1928 minutes? The whole system takes 15 to reboot.
01:2327 now.
01:25TikTok.
01:45And done. Crisis averted.
01:47I swear to god, you're not human.
01:5027 minutes.
01:52Holy shit.
01:53Pre-orders are flooding in.
01:54This will shatter every record.
02:04Vic, are you okay?
02:07Just Brax and Hicks, nothing to...
02:09Oh my god, your water broke.
02:21Mom, you were seriously in active labor while saving the entire company?
02:26Multitasking is my superpower pumpkin?
02:28Dad called.
02:31He wanted to know if he should come, but...
02:35I told him that he lost his visiting privileges since he decided that his assistance is more comfortable than ours.
02:43That's my girl.
02:44Well, the company's yours now, Holly.
02:56But there's...
02:58a condition.
03:00We need to slash costs.
03:02Immediately.
03:04Layoffs.
03:08Absent without leave.
03:10Oh, Dad, I know exactly where to start our cuts.
03:12Well, just remember, whoever cleaned up that Milan disaster, they get immunity.
03:19In fact, um, they deserve a promotion.
03:26No way this Victoria Wintour saved the company since she's not even there.
03:34Boss, the Milan collection crisis, a burden.
03:38Pre-orders are pouring in.
03:39You, you saved the entire collection? Impressive.
03:43Oh, actually...
03:45How about I make you the new creative director?
03:48Starting today.
03:50Oh my god, is this really happening?
03:53She's offering me Victoria's job?
03:56I can finally get rid of that bitch hanging over my head?
03:58But, Victoria...
03:59Don't worry about her.
04:00I'm not useless.
04:01I'm going to smack fire.
04:02You know that collection I just rescued, Em?
04:04I hid something in the design.
04:06Your initials and now little graces.
04:07Hold them right into the fabric.
04:08And that's going to give him a long runway?
04:09Plus, the bonus from this collection is substantial.
04:10Enough for your full tuition at private school.
04:11And that's going to give him a long runway?
04:14Mom, you don't have to.
04:15Mom, you're going to that private school.
04:16No discussion.
04:17I'm not going to give him a long runway.
04:18I'm not going to give him a long runway.
04:19I'm not going to give him a long runway.
04:20I'm not going to give him a long runway.
04:21And I love you, Mom.
04:24I love you.
04:38Mom, you don't have to.
04:44Your sister and I will manage just fine.
04:47This job will keep us afloat.
04:49I love you, Mom.
04:50Come on.
05:01Holy shit, Holly actually thought I was the one who saved the company?
05:06After all these years in your shadow, Victoria, I'm finally taking what I deserve.
05:20Look, I'm gonna fire every single one of them.
05:36What the hell?
05:37Listen up everyone.
05:39Victoria Wintour is terminated.
05:41Effective immediately.
05:44You can't just do that.
05:46She's in the hospital having her baby.
05:48They're a loss against this.
05:50Vic worked while in labor.
05:52She's the creative backbone of Maison Niveau.
05:55Maternity leave, medical insurance, these preggles are bleeding us dry.
06:01Everything okay here?
06:06Great timing.
06:07Victoria Wintour, you're fired.
06:11Clear out your desk now.
06:18You're Matthew's daughter, aren't you?
06:24I saved this company three times when your father could have made payroll.
06:28How many times?
06:31Well, that's ancient history.
06:35The board wants fresh blood.
06:37And Mia here just saved the entire Milan collection.
06:40What?
06:41I'm the one who...
06:47Mia, you...
06:51Feel that curve?
06:53That's your signature.
06:54That's what makes it Maison Niveau.
07:01How could you?
07:02I taught you everything you know.
07:11I wish things were different, Vic.
07:15I should have thought about your career before getting pregnant.
07:18What happens to my team?
07:24Miranda pulled all-nighters for a month straight working on your father's exclusive collections.
07:32Things got so bad she had to get hair, implants.
07:36Pauline had to cancel her own wedding because of a company meeting at the loo.
07:40These jobs are their lifelines.
07:42Health insurance, paid maternity leave, basic human dignity.
07:45You can't just throw them away.
07:48Well, actually, legally speaking, we can.
07:52No mandated paid maternity leave, no real protection, but hey, that's corporate America for you.
07:58Or we can shift the math.
08:01You sign, they stay, the budget works out.
08:05Think of it as...
08:08Taking one for the team.
08:11Miranda's still drowning in her husband's debts.
08:14And Pauline's sister still needs another surgery.
08:17They can't lose their jobs.
08:23Come on, Vic. You say you care about them.
08:26Prove it.
08:35I'm going...
08:36I'm going to!
08:38I'm going to!
08:41I'm going to!
08:42I'm going to!
08:43Five grand.
09:03That's my severance package after 15 years.
09:06That's what I'm worth to them.
09:13Be careful, I got you.
09:30Vincent? Vincent Chevalier?
09:33Hi.
09:36High school feels like another lifetime, doesn't it?
09:42So, it's true.
09:51Great Victoria Winter is being shown the door after single-handedly saving Mison LeBeau's
09:57Milan collection.
09:59How would you feel about not having to answer to single-minded executives anymore?
10:07Someone with your kind of talent shouldn't be treated like this.
10:12What are you getting at exactly?
10:16I'm talking about you and me.
10:20Partners.
10:21You're genius.
10:23My money.
10:25No corporate BS.
10:27No one holding you back.
10:34I've got a baby to think about now.
10:36And I have an empty corner office with a view and an attached nursery.
10:42Just saying.
10:47Vincent Chevalier, wow!
10:49You didn't expect to see the head of Jovan, our corporate nemesis strolling into the office.
10:54Got your spine here?
10:56Don't mind me, I'm just giving Victoria your soft landing.
11:03Triple her salary, corner office.
11:06You know, before the vultures at LB or Chanel swoop in.
11:10Mom, so you're dumpster diving now?
11:13Rescuing a washed up single mom with outdated ideas?
11:17Wow, that's an interesting take to have considering you wearing Victoria's designs head to toe.
11:22I mean, the jacket, it's Victoria's spring collection, right?
11:28The earrings, it's Victoria's collaboration with Picardier.
11:31If her work is so far beneath you, maybe you should just strip.
11:38Shit, shit, shit.
11:40What are you talking about?
11:41Victoria designed all of this.
11:49Actually, those were my designs.
11:55What did you just say?
11:56The spring collection.
11:58The Cartier pieces.
12:00I designed them.
12:02Under your supervision, of course, but they came for me.
12:05Oops.
12:06Looks like you've been backing the wrong horse, Vincent.
12:09I thought you were better than this, Mia.
12:13Then explain my signature.
12:15On the original sketch dated six months ago.
12:23So what?
12:24Sketches get past her all the time, it doesn't prove squat.
12:27Maybe she was your little, what do they call it, dress designer?
12:33And the logo?
12:36The EW, woven in, Victoria's signature mark.
12:40It's been on every major piece she's designed for years.
12:43Well, Mia, explain it and make me shut up.
12:50It's funny.
12:51All those pieces from the Milan collection that everyone's losing in their life.
12:56They all have EW and GW someday, too.
13:00Victoria's daughter is Emily Winter.
13:02Her newborn is Grace Winter.
13:06It's just quite a coincidence that those initials should appear in all your designs, Mia.
13:11Is there a special EW and GW in your life, too?
13:15Well, Mia, tell them.
13:17Tell them you designed this.
13:18Tell them you saved Milan.
13:20The logo, it's adapted based on traditional motifs.
13:28You lying little bitch!
13:31That promotion was for saving the company.
13:37Look at the logo again.
13:39It's not EW or GW.
13:43It's actually two Ms.
13:46MM for McMichael, my last name.
13:52See?
13:53One M flipped, one upright.
13:56It's not for Grace or Emily.
14:00It's mine.
14:02That is absolutely ridiculous.
14:05Oh my god, she's right.
14:06It does look more like two Ms.
14:10You manipulated bitch.
14:11You really thought you could steal the credit from my star designer.
14:15You learned well, Mia.
14:18Maybe too well.
14:20You'll regret this.
14:23Mark, we'll see.
14:25We don't have to sink to that level.
14:27Okay.
14:29Then let me drive you home, Carrie.
14:31My Ferrari's outside.
14:33I got this you shouldn't be carrying anymore.
14:40Congratulations on your promotion, Mia.
14:43Just take care of Miranda and Pauli, will you?
14:49That's right, get the hell out of my company.
14:52Go lead your 401k somewhere else.
14:54Oh, I'm Victoria.
15:02VIP invitation, Paris Fashion Week.
15:07Front row.
15:09I think you'll find it.
15:11Enlightening.
15:12What?
15:13Every pregnant woman fired.
15:22All of us.
15:24Just like that.
15:26No severance.
15:27No warning.
15:28Nothing.
15:29But a box and a security escort.
15:31Finally purge the company of those walking liabilities.
15:39Their termination people weren't practically paid for your signing.
15:43Bonus my writing star.
15:45Now, about Paris Fashion Week.
15:48Your designs are eagerly weighted.
15:52You should have kept your legs closed.
15:54Oh, my God, Mom.
15:55This is insane.
15:56I can't believe we're actually here.
15:57Victoria Wintour.
15:58It's a nuclear Vick.
16:00Your mom's basically a legend.
16:01You know that, right?
16:03We've been taking bets on where you'll land after Maison Levaux.
16:06Their loss is definitely someone else's jackpot.
16:09Wait.
16:23Ms. Oliveaux?
16:24Well, well, the Queen without her crown graces us for her presence.
16:29Brave of you to show up here.
16:31What's next?
16:32Applying for retail jobs at the mall?
16:33here. What's next? Applying for retail jobs at the mall? Leaving so soon? You haven't
16:40introduced me to your princess. Has mommy dearest filled you in on her little career
16:46update about getting canned for not cutting it anymore? Mom, is that true?
16:56Don't worry. She'll explain once she figures out how to keep paying your tuition bills.
17:00Ladies and gentlemen, Victoria Winter. Still pretending she matters.
17:09My mom is one of the most talented designers in this entire room. If Ms. Honible was putting
17:14people like you in charge of the business, then maybe she deserves to crash and burn.
17:19Well, look at that. It seems entitlement runs in the family. Say whatever you want about
17:25me, but leave my daughter out of it. That's got a stain, huh? Exposes unemployed
17:30in front of your kid who worships you like some kind of hero. But hey, good news. There's
17:36a factory down the street that's always looking for hardworking children. If paying the bills
17:40is getting tough, maybe send her over there. That's enough.
17:48That's enough.
17:50You've always been a fraud, Victoria. You never belonged in this world.
17:54Look at her. A jobless, single mom still pretending she can afford couture. That dress, it's a cheap
18:03knockoff.
18:06Wearing fakes to Paris Fashion Week, it's not just pathetic. It's insulting to everyone here
18:11who actually deserves to be here.
18:13What the hell do you think you're doing?
18:18Remove that dress.
18:20We don't tolerate counterfeits in this industry.
18:24Hey, stop it! Let go of my mom!
18:27Now let's see what garbage is really hiding under that dress.
18:31Take your hands off her now.
18:33You're dismissed.
18:43You're dismissed.
18:52You all right?
18:56You all right?
18:57I'm fine.
18:58Jesus Christ, that's Vincent Chevalier.
19:00The reclusive billionaire who never shows up anywhere?
19:04What the hell is he doing with Victoria?
19:08That knockoff that you're so here to trash her for?
19:13It's Chauvenne.
19:15Mote Couture.
19:16Winter Collection.
19:18Not even released yet.
19:20Price tag?
19:22300,000.
19:23Wow!
19:25You gave her that.
19:26That's right.
19:27I did.
19:28I did.
19:31I would give her the entire damn collection if she wanted it.
19:35Oh my god, everyone mystery solved.
19:37Victoria's bagged herself a sugar daddy.
19:41Mr. Billionaire's not a white knight.
19:43He's her walking trust fund.
19:47Victoria's sleeping her weight at the top.
19:49It's just so predictably desperate.
19:52You really don't understand real talent, do you?
20:01For those of you who don't know me,
20:03I'm Vincent Chevalier.
20:06CEO of Chauvenne.
20:07And yes, I have been in love with Victoria Winter since high school.
20:15I have followed your career from a distance for years.
20:18Your brilliance.
20:20Your principles.
20:22Your passion.
20:23Victoria, there is no one else like you in this entire industry.
20:28Mom, did you know about this?
20:31I'm not going to pursue anything until she's ready.
20:35But in the meantime, what I will do
20:37is ensure that her incredible talent has the platform that it deserves.
20:41She won't let you down, boss.
20:46You're making a complete ass of yourself, Chevalier.
20:49She's nothing but a has-been.
20:52The show is about to start.
20:54Your seats are waiting.
21:00Holy shit.
21:02The industry golden boy and the creative powerhouse together?
21:05Talk about a power couple.
21:07They could run the entire industry.
21:09This isn't over, bitch.
21:12Wait till you see what I've prepared for you.
21:24So you seriously been in love with my mom since high school?
21:31Some talents you recognize immediately.
21:36Some people, too.
21:39Ladies and gentlemen, before we kick off tonight's show,
21:44I have an important announcement.
21:47This woman is nothing but a fraud and a thief.
21:49She's been stealing designs from my creative director for years.
21:55It's true.
21:56She took my work and passed it off as her own.
21:59I've slaved away on those designs, day and night.
22:03And Victoria had the nerve to pass them off as her own.
22:12That's just the tip of the iceberg, isn't it, Victoria?
22:15Your entire career is based on lies and manipulation.
22:19That's enough, Holly.
22:20Everyone thinks you're this creative genius, but I know what you really are.
22:26Your personal life is just as fake as the so-called talent.
22:31Did you know she slept with half the executives in the industry?
22:34That's her real design strategy.
22:37Stop it, Holly.
22:38You're embarrassing yourself.
22:40And those kids she's so proud of?
22:41Who knows who their real fathers are?
22:43How dare you!
22:50It's a disaster in there.
22:53There's something wrong with the collection.
22:55It's the fabric.
22:57Not now.
23:03The primary fabrics are disintegrating under the lights.
23:07The dresses are literally falling apart.
23:09We've only got 50 minutes left until showtime.
23:12Is this some kind of sick joke, Maison Laveau?
23:14Are you cancelling the show because of your incompetence?
23:16This is completely unprofessional.
23:19I have 10 million invested in this collection.
23:22This is breach of contract.
23:26It's actually fixable.
23:30You can't seriously be thinking about helping with backstabbing vultures.
23:36Breaking news from Paris Fashion Week.
23:38Maison Laveau appears to be imploding underneath new leadership.
23:42Sources say the entire collection may be cancelled minutes before showtime.
23:45The question on everyone's mind?
23:47Is this the end for the once-prestigious fashion books?
23:55This show doesn't happen.
23:56You're personally liable for the breach penalties.
23:59We're talking billions, Holly.
24:02Billions.
24:03It's the end for now.
24:23Look at this.
24:24Fix this!
24:28Now!
24:30How? The fabric supplier must have sent us defective materials.
24:34I can't magically make new dresses in an hour.
24:38You have exactly 30 minutes to make this work.
24:41If you don't, those breach penalties are coming out of your pocket.
24:45That's billions of dollars.
24:48Then you better figure something out.
24:50Because 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?
25:11Is there any truth to Holly Jenkins' claims about your personal life?
25:15Please respect Miss Winter's privacy.
25:18And for the record, you'll all soon see who the real thief is.
25:22We're gathering evidence as we speak.
25:35Excuse me.
25:37Excuse me.
25:39It's okay, Papa. I'll be right back.
25:48What do you want, Mia?
25:53Vic, I really need your help.
25:56Funny way to ask for a favor after that stunt you just pulled.
25:59Look, I know you're furious. I would be too.
26:04But think about Miranda and Pauline for a second.
26:08What about them?
26:09Their jobs are on the line with this show.
26:11If we tank, they're done. Holly will fire them without a second thought.
26:16Please, if you care about them keeping their jobs, just help us out.
26:21Miranda and Pauline are responsible for this show.
26:24Yes, absolutely. And they're counting on this being a hit.
26:29Please, Vic. Not for me. For them. Please, Vic.
26:34I would have expected them to be here in Paris, you know, for such a make-or-break show.
26:39What exactly happened to them, Mia?
26:41They, they couldn't make it. Holly cut the travel budget.
26:49Is that right?
26:51Victoria, I know I don't deserve your help.
26:56They do.
26:58Fine.
27:01I'll help you.
27:02But I'm doing this for Miranda and Pauline.
27:04Not for you.
27:11Oh my god. It's Victoria Winter. The nuclear beck.
27:20I need scissors, thread, and fresh lining fabric. Now.
27:31I need royal fuchsia for the stitching.
27:33Regular fuchsia won't work for this fabric.
27:35Does anyone have royal fuchsia thread?
27:41From this work?
27:48Vincent, how did you...
27:51I figured you might need some supplies, so...
27:54I had my assistant bring over Joven as emergency kit.
28:00This is perfect, but...
28:02Joven and Maison Lavo are competitors. Why would you help them?
28:05I'm not helping them.
28:08I'm not helping them.
28:10I'm helping you.
28:12I can't ask you to do this without giving me something in return.
28:16I have a design I've been saving.
28:18Something special I've never shown anyone.
28:21It's yours now.
28:23I don't want your design, Victoria.
28:26Then what do you want?
28:29You.
28:32What?
28:33You're a talent.
28:38You're a vision.
28:40Come and work as Joven.
28:43I'm in.
28:45I'll work for you.
28:46Just like that?
28:48Just like that.
28:49Now, let me finish my final job for Maison Lavo.
28:52I love my son Lavo.
28:55I hate it when I call it girl.
28:59I wish I was cool
29:02Like the new girl at school
29:05I regret it
29:06So I'mma get, I'mma get, I'mma get, I'mma get it
29:08I want me back
29:11Don't ever tell you
29:15I'm gonna be proud of my name

29:26her the nuclear vick it's so fucked up watching her fix my disaster like it's
29:31nothing the woman I replaced making me look like an amateur
29:36five minutes till showtime we made it
29:54well do we pull the plug or not we're good everything's back on track see I knew
30:02firing Victoria was the right call you've got twice her talent yeah this is
30:09exactly why you promoted you fix this is not make them
30:20to Victoria the real hero of the night
30:32well you're insane I can't believe you actually fix that disaster in under an
30:39hour couldn't have done it without you you know if you start dating before you
30:46work together it doesn't count as an office romance
30:49well well still hanging around I thought you'd be too embarrassed to show your face at the
30:59after-party fraud Pauline why don't you ask the models what happened backstage
31:05tonight what are you talking about just ask the models any of them oh and Mia
31:13don't forget about our agreement about Miranda and Pauline
31:19and Pauline
31:24two new beginnings at show then
31:32speaking of new beginnings Emily's private school application is due next month right
31:38I want to help with her education
31:42What? Vincent, that's too much. We barely know each other.
31:47Victoria, I've known you since we were 17.
31:52I remember watching you win that regional competition in that silver dress, the one you made from scratch.
32:02I saw the way your eyes lit up when you talked about changing the fashion world.
32:09You remember that?
32:11I remember everything.
32:14I have followed your career all these years, just hoping that our paths would cross again.
32:22Why didn't you ever reach out?
32:24We were married.
32:27And then you weren't.
32:29And then you were building your career.
32:32Timing was never right.
32:36Until now.
32:38I have been waiting for 20 years to do this.
32:53I should probably get this.
33:08Mia?
33:09God, I was so right about firing Victoria.
33:21That Milan disaster you turned around, absolute magic.
33:24And now I have an opportunity that can put you on the map for good.
33:28Sean Gosling needs a tuxedo for the Oscars red carpet.
33:33Sean Gosling?
33:35The Sean Gosling?
33:37The very one.
33:38Three-time Oscar winner.
33:39People's Sexiest Man Alive.
33:40And if you play our cards right, the next face of the Maison Nouveau's handswear.
33:46They're taking pitches now.
33:48If he picks yours, this changes everything.
33:51For you.
33:52For the brand.
33:53Where it is, Joven's in the running too.
33:57Land this.
33:58Vincent and support Victoria are done.
34:05Seal the deal.
34:06I'll bump your pay by 20%.
34:08I've got this, Holly.
34:10You won't regret it.
34:11God, what am I gonna do?
34:20I can't design menswear.
34:22I barely pulled off the woman's with Victoria's help.
34:25Miranda and Felina are gone too.
34:27I'm completely on my own.
34:30If Holly bought that I saved Milan and fixed Paris when it was all Victoria,
34:37maybe I can squeeze one more miracle over.
35:02Thanks for meeting me.
35:03I know things are complicated between us.
35:05You mentioned Miranda and Pauline.
35:07Cut to the chase.
35:12We're pitching for Sean's Oscar tucks.
35:14Miranda and Pauline are also-
35:16Miranda's excellent with menswear.
35:17She can handle this without me.
35:18Please, wait.
35:19There'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.
35:27I've been fighting for them.
35:29Are you serious?
35:30Pauline's due any day now.
35:32Trust me, I know.
35:34This project is our only shot.
35:36If we land it, I can convince Holly to keep them both.
35:39Have you worked with Sean before?
35:41No, but I've heard you have.
35:43Ages ago.
35:45I did a jacket frame for the Met Gala.
35:48Actually, I was sketching a new tuxedo concept frame right before I left Maison Malone.
35:52Really?
35:53What concept?
35:55Well...
35:56Perfect.
35:57She's handing everything over without even realizing me.
36:00I'll use her design to save my ass and lay on this project.
36:04Do you still have any of the sketches somewhere?
36:05I do.
36:06Actually, I...
36:07I took them with me when I left Maison Malone.
36:08Wait.
36:09Miranda went on maternity leave last week.
36:10How exactly is she part of this project?
36:11How exactly is she part of this project?
36:14Well, since she's the best menswear designer we have, Holly's letting her work from home.
36:19Is the company covering her health insurance?
36:20Of course, Vic.
36:21Do you still have any of the sketches somewhere?
36:25I do.
36:26Actually, I took them with me when I left Maison Laveau.
36:31Wait.
36:33Miranda went on maternity leave last week.
36:35How exactly is she part of this project?
36:38Well, since she's the best menswear designer we have,
36:41Holly's letting her work from home.
36:44Is the company covering her health insurance?
36:47Of course, Vic.
36:49Colleen and Miranda's jobs are on the line here.
36:55You need to be dead.
36:57Take all the time you need.
36:59Mia.
37:01Don't make me regret trusting you.
37:03Again.
37:19Pumpkin, I need a quick favor.
37:24Remember that tuxedo sketch I was working on before everything went sideways?
37:28The Sean Gosselin one with the black satin lapels?
37:31That's the one.
37:32Can you check my home office?
37:33It should be in the portfolio marked Men's Formal 2025.
37:37Got it.
37:39Grace is napping.
37:40It's the perfect timing.
37:41Thanks, sweetie.
37:42I just need to double check something about the...
37:48Shoulder.
37:49Instruction.
37:51Mom, are you okay?
37:57Miranda?
37:59Vic?
38:00Mom!
38:01Mom!
38:05What's going on?
38:07Emily, I'll call you right back.
38:11Miranda, what happened?
38:12Why the hell are you scrubbing toilets?
38:15Bills don't pay themselves.
38:17You met my husband, old child with no paycheck, and now there's a newborn at home.
38:22Mia said you were on maternity leave working remotely on the Gosselin project.
38:27What?
38:29Is that the story she's spinning now?
38:33After you left, she fired every pregnant woman in the company.
38:38No severance, no copper, nothing.
38:40Just gone.
38:42That's completely illegal.
38:44Company lawyers said that we all suddenly violated some buried performance clause.
38:49All at once.
38:51What are the odds, right?
38:53And Polly, parking night shifts at 24 hours down here.
38:58Her sister medical bills keep piling up.
39:06And Mia knew about all this.
39:09Mia.
39:11Front row seat when Holly made an announcement.
39:14Didn't even blink.
39:15Too busy admiring her shiny new creative director of the title.
39:20She's been using you and Polly to manipulate me.
39:24Telling me her job depended on me helping her.
39:27What?
39:29That bitch!
39:32This ends now.
39:39Damn it!
39:40Miss Michael.
39:42Miss, Miss Michael.
39:43Miss just arrived from Milan.
39:48We need approval by you and her job.
39:50Can't you see I'm working on something important?
40:01What are you all looking at? Get back to work.
40:03to work. Victoria would never treat us like this. I heard that. You think Victoria is so perfect?
40:13Then where is she now? Gone. Now I'm in charge and if anyone has a problem with that,
40:19there's the door. Well at least you can actually design that.
40:24What the hell is going on here? Just a great disagreement. Everything's in control.
40:33The Gosling page, tell me you have something presentable.
40:40Of course, I'm just finalizing some details. Show me. It's not quite ready. Now.
40:46This is garbage. Absolute garbage. I just need a little more time.
40:57We don't have more time. This is Sean Gosling we're talking about. If Shofen gets this deal instead of us.
41:07What's that?
41:07It's just some inspiration I recorded for the design. I don't care if you have to sell your soul
41:20to the devil, get me a winner designed until morning or pack up your desk by lunch.
41:33I still can't believe I'm using this as leverage.
41:57Right on cue.
41:58Meet that sketch ASAP. Miranda and Pauline's futures depend on it. The absolute nerve of this woman.
42:12She'll get her a sketch. And that's where we spring the trap.
42:29You're early. Vic, I really need that sketch.
42:40I said I'd help, not hand over my design.
42:43Holly's all over me about this. If I don't have something tonight, Miranda and Pauline are toast.
42:52Still lying, Mia. You never learn. Guess it's payback time.
42:57So, do you want my help or not? I can walk you through it. Your design could be just as good.
43:03She's such a snake.
43:06Vic, my stomach is killing me. Can you run to the pharmacy and get something please?
43:12Fine, but don't touch anything.
43:26I'm sorry, Vic. Survival of the fittest.
43:41I'm sorry, Vic. Survival of the fittest.
43:43I'm sorry, Vic. Survival of the fittest.
43:53You just let her take your work?
43:58She walked out with exactly what I wanted her to have.
44:03You know, boss, we could pitch ourselves.
44:07Go after the same clients. Show them what real design looks like.
44:12We're not out yet.
44:23Or there's a revolution, bro.
44:32I figure you can use all the backup you can get.
44:35You're welcome, mom.
44:43I want you and your team as your van.
44:48Full creative control.
44:50I'm Miranda. Your husband's debt handled.
44:55And every casino in the country has been told he's not welcome.
44:57Mr. Chevalier. I'm Pauline. Your sister is in good hands.
45:05The best heart surgeon in the country.
45:08She's already prepping for her next surgery.
45:10Mr. Chevalier. Thank you.
45:14Don't thank me. Thank Victoria.
45:17I'm just looking out for the people she believes in.
45:21Vincent, I...
45:23I don't even know what to say.
45:25It's about time you all get what you deserve.
45:29To be able to choice.
45:30I don't even know what to say.
45:46I don't even know what to say.
45:46I don't even know what to say.
45:48My loved one.
45:50It ain't really fain!
46:22And you're still here.
46:38Final tweaks.
46:39The pitch goes out tomorrow.
46:44You've got Grace to sleep.
46:49Yeah.
46:49And Emily's almost finished with her algebra.
46:56Maybe new beginnings aren't so scary after all.
47:06We're about to make history.
47:11Maison Laveau sets the bar.
47:13We don't follow trends.
47:15We create them.
47:21Satin black lapels.
47:23Nod to Mr. Sean Gosling's Met Gala moment.
47:27A blend of tradition and boldness.
47:30I think we can all agree Maison Laveau is back on top.
47:33What is that bitch doing here?
47:46Thank you, Mr. Jenkins, for clearing out your best talent.
47:50My company is thriving because of your generosity.
47:55I didn't expect to see you here.
47:58We thought you'd be all tied up with PTA meetings and diaper changes.
48:06Unlike some, I don't need to fire half my staff to feel competent.
48:09You know, Holly, your fresh blood strategies work in wonders.
48:15The office is so empty, it echoes.
48:19And the only thing growing at Maison Laveau is the legal risk.
48:23Pregnant women talk, you know.
48:25Turn the X employees on the Bible CEO.
48:28What's next?
48:28The bake sale?
48:31Laugh all you want, Holly.
48:32Hey, you're about to see what real teamwork looks like.
48:35And what real loyalty looks like.
48:51Sean, I'm glad you could make it.
48:53We have something very special to show you.
48:59Vic.
49:02I thought you just had a beautiful baby girl you'd never know.
49:06Congratulations.
49:07Thank you, Sean.
49:09It's good to see you.
49:11Let's begin the pitches.
49:14You ready to lose?
49:15You're out of your league.
49:17You should know by now, I don't play by your rules.
49:28First up, me and McMichael, Maison Laveau.
49:48Next, Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.
49:51Beautiful work.
50:02Both themes.
50:07We'll need a few minutes to discuss.
50:09After careful consideration, we're awarding Project 2.
50:20Maison Laveau.
50:22Oh, yeah!
50:23Oh, my God.
50:24Of course.
50:26This is what you planned all along, wasn't it?
50:29What the hell did you people put me in?
50:42Are you trying to kill me?
50:44Mr. Gosling has a serious allergy to synthetic silk.
50:47Who designed this tuxedo?
50:49Did you even read the brief?
50:50I mean, you must have read the brief.
50:56It's not complicated.
50:57It says no synthetic blend.
51:00I mean, it must be some kind of mistake.
51:03Perhaps Nia overlooked something.
51:05A mistake?
51:06I could have ended up in the emergency room.
51:10Victoria, please, tell these amateurs
51:13why you pulled your last design.
51:23I pulled my design
51:25because the only fabric left was synthetic.
51:28I'd never risk Mr. Gosling's health for a deadline.
51:31And that's why Victoria's the best.
51:33She actually pays attention.
51:35After reviewing all the entries,
51:37the committee has reached a decision.
51:39The commission goes to
51:40Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.
51:42Mr. Gosling, it was just a slip-up.
51:48Mia's design was the frontrunner all along.
51:51That's why they picked her first.
51:56Maybe everyone should see this.
52:03Wait, Mia, did you actually steal Victoria's design?
52:12That's a new low.
52:14Even for you.
52:19Maison Laveau
52:20will be hearing from my liars.
52:23And so you know,
52:24I will be supporting Victoria's case
52:27for design theft.
52:30Maison Laveau's reputation is toast.
52:33We're suspending all collaborations.
52:35Don't even think about
52:46trying to land anywhere else.
52:48You're blacklisted.
52:54Victoria, please.
52:56Victoria, please.
52:56I'll do anything.
53:10Please just help me save the company,
53:12the brand that you built for 15 years.
53:15You made your choices, Holly.
53:18Now you live with them.
53:21You finally went too far.
53:23Sean Gosling's look tonight
53:30is a game-changer
53:31crafted by the trailblazing team at JoVen.
53:34Social media is already calling it
53:36the Winter Revolution.
53:49It's the best comeback in fashion history.
53:52And to the women who made it happen.
53:55And to the maternity leave
53:57that actually means something.
54:02Mom, you might want to see this.
54:14Happy birthday, Victoria.
54:19Happy birthday to you!
54:21Guys, look!
54:29Maison Laveau on the brink?
54:31Scandal pushes fashion giant
54:32towards bankruptcy.
54:34Ouch!
54:35I guess karma has a sense of humor.
54:38It's strange, isn't it?
54:40I gave them everything.
54:48Late nights, weekends,
54:51all the best years,
54:53and they tossed us aside
54:54like we were nothing.
54:56Now it's all crashing down.
54:58I thought I'd feel vindicated.
54:59But honestly, it's a weird mix.
55:03Relief, sure, but also a little bit of grief.
55:07Look, who said that our best years are behind us?
55:11Look at this!
55:14JoVen pushes for paid leave
55:16and parental support across all industries.
55:20Victoria, this is you!
55:21You did this!
55:24Here's to a future
55:25where women don't have to choose
55:27between their families and their careers.
55:30Not just for us,
55:31but for every woman who comes after.
55:34Careful, Vincent.
55:36I almost forgot the best part.
55:37Victoria Winterer.
55:53Will you marry me?
56:04Yes!
56:05A thousand times, yes!
56:07Whoa!
56:12Take my heart,
56:13let over your hands.
56:17I can spend all my days
56:19trying to feel bad.
56:25Give me love and listen.
