00:00Shit! No, no, no, no, no, no, no. The system crashed mid-upload. Half the collection is the wrong season. Wrong everything. No.
00:21Runway is in 48 hours. If productions start 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.
00:39I have a fashion editor from Logan. Right now, one word for me, your industry poison.
00:45Enough. Vic!
01:02Mia, Japanese indigo. Miranda, call production, emergency protocol 7. Pauline, handle those vultures.
01:13Tell the boss to hold all calls. I need 28 minutes. 28 minutes? The whole system takes 15 to reboot. 27 now. Tick-tock.
01:28I'm done. Crisis averted.
01:33I swear to god, you're not human. 27 minutes.
01:39Holy shit. Pre-orders are flooding in. This will shatter every record.
01:46I'm done. Crisis averted.
01:49I swear to god, you're not human. 27 minutes.
01:53Holy shit. Pre-orders are flooding in. This will shatter every record.
01:58You fit. Are you okay?
02:05Just practice and Hicks. Nothing to...
02:10Oh my god, your water broke.
02:15Mom, you were seriously in active labor while saving the entire company?
02:27Multitasking is my superpower pumpkin?
02:30Dad called. He wanted to know if he should come, but...
02:35I told him that he lost his visiting privileges since he decided that his assistance was more comfortable than ours.
02:44That's my girl.
02:54Well, the company's yours now, Holly, but there's a condition.
03:00We need to slash costs. Immediately.
03:04Layoffs.
03:08Absent without leave.
03:10Oh, Dad, I know exactly where to start our cuts.
03:14Well, just remember, whoever cleaned up that Malan disaster, they get immunity.
03:21In fact, um, they deserve a promotion.
03:25No way this Victoria Wintour saved the company since she's not even there.
03:35Boss, the Malan collection crisis? Averted. Pre-orders are pouring in.
03:41Ew, you saved the entire collection? Impressive.
03:45Oh, actually, how about I make you the new creative director? Starting today.
03:50Oh, my God, is this really happening?
03:54She's offering me Victoria's job? I can finally get rid of that bitch hanging over my head?
04:04But, Victoria...
04:05Don't worry about her. I'm not useless for her. I'm gonna just have fire.
04:09You know that collection I just rescued, Em?
04:17I hid something in the design.
04:20Your initials and now little graces.
04:23Hold them right into the fabric.
04:29And that's gonna give him a long runway?
04:31Plus, the bonus from this collection is substantial.
04:35Enough for your full tuition at private school.
04:38Mom, you ain't have to.
04:40You're going to that private school.
04:42No discussion.
04:44Your sister and I will manage just fine.
04:47This job will keep us afloat.
04:50I love you, Mom.
04:51Holy 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.
05:21Look, I'm gonna fire every single one of them.
05:36What the hell?
05:38Listen up, everyone.
05:39Victoria Wintour is terminated.
05:42Effective immediately.
05:45You can't just do that.
05:46She's in the hospital having her baby.
05:48They're a loss against this.
05:49Vic worked while in labor.
05:52She's the creative backbone of Maison Laveau.
05:55Maternity leave, medical insurance.
05:57These preggos are bleeding us dry.
06:01Everything okay here?
06:05Great timing.
06:07Victoria Wintour, you're fired.
06:10Clear out your desk now.
06:20You're Matthew's daughter, aren't you?
06:23I saved this company three times when your father could have made payroll.
06:27Three times.
06:30Whoa.
06:32That's ancient history.
06:34The board wants fresh blood.
06:36And Mia here just saved the entire Milan collection.
06:39What?
06:40I'm the one who...
06:45Me or you.
06:47Feel that curve?
06:48That's your signature.
06:49That's what makes it Maison Laveau.
06:51How could you?
06:52I taught you everything you know.
06:53I wish things were different, Vic.
06:58I should have thought about your career before getting pregnant.
07:01What happens to my team?
07:02Miranda pulled all-nighters for a month straight working on your father's exclusive collections.
07:04How could you?
07:05How could you?
07:06How could you?
07:07How could you?
07:08I taught you everything you know.
07:10I wish things were different, Vic.
07:12I should have thought about your career before getting pregnant.
07:16What happens to my team?
07:18Miranda pulled all-nighters for a month straight working on your father's exclusive collections.
07:30Things got so bad she had to get hair implants.
07:35Pauline had to cancel her own wedding because of a company meeting at the Louvre.
07:40These jobs are their lifelines.
07:41Health insurance, paid maternity leave, basic human dignity.
07:45You can't just throw them away.
07:47Well, actually, legally speaking, we can.
07:51No mandated paid maternity leave, no real protection, but hey, that's corporate America for you.
07:57Or we can shift the math.
08:00You sign, they stay, the budget works out.
08:05Think of it as taking one for the team.
08:10Miranda's still drowning in her husband's deaths.
08:14And Pauline's sister still needs another surgery.
08:17They can't lose their jobs.
08:18Come on, Vic. You say you care about them.
08:25Prove it.
08:26You are true.
08:27You say you couldn't lose your arms.
08:28You understand?
08:29Maybe you are辞ارable.
08:30I mean, you are soSÃ.
08:31You are almost the worst.
08:33You are so sorry.
08:36You're so sorry.
08:38What are you thinking?
08:39You are so sorry.
08:41You're so sorry.
08:42You're so sorry.
08:43You're so sorry.
08:45I wish you were wrong.
08:46I have to take one for you.
08:47Five grand.
09:01That's my severance package after 15 years.
09:04That's what I'm worth to them.
09:17Be careful.
09:20I got you.
09:27Vincent?
09:29Vincent Chevalier?
09:31Hi.
09:34High school feels like another lifetime, doesn't it?
09:47So, it's true.
09:51Great Victoria Winter is being shown the door after single-handedly saving Mison Laveau's Milan collection.
10:00How would you feel about not having to answer to single-minded executives anymore?
10:06Someone with your kind of talent shouldn't be treated like this.
10:11What are you getting at exactly?
10:15I'm talking about you and me.
10:18Pardons.
10:20You're genius.
10:22My money.
10:24No corporate BS.
10:26No one holding you back.
10:32I've got a baby to think about now.
10:35And I have an empty corner office with a view and an attached nursery.
10:40Just saying.
10:41Vincent Chevalier, wow.
10:42You didn't expect to see the head of Joven, our corporate nemesis strolling into the office.
10:52Got your spy here?
10:54Don't mind me, I'm just giving Victoria your soft landing.
11:02Triple her salary, corner office.
11:05You know, before the vultures at LV or Chanel swoop in.
11:09Oh, so you're dumpster diving now.
11:11Rescuing a washed up single mom with outdated ideas.
11:15Wow, that's an interesting take to have considering you wearing Victoria's designs head to toe.
11:19I mean, the jacket, that's Victoria's spring collection, right?
11:26The earrings, that's Victoria's collaboration with Cartier.
11:29If her work is so far beneath you, then maybe you should just strip.
11:34Strip.
11:36Shit, shit, shit.
11:38What are you talking about?
11:39Victoria designed all of this.
11:47Actually, those were my designs.
11:52What did you just say?
11:54The spring collection.
11:56The Cartier pieces.
11:58I designed them.
11:59Under your supervision, of course, but they came from me.
12:02Oops.
12:03Looks like you've been backing the wrong horse, Vincent.
12:07I thought you were better than this, Mia.
12:11Then explain my signature on the original sketch dated six months ago.
12:20So what?
12:21Sketches get passed around all the time.
12:23It doesn't prove squat.
12:25Maybe she was your little...
12:26What do they call it?
12:28The dress designer?
12:30And the logo?
12:33The E.W.
12:34Woven in.
12:35Victoria's signature mark.
12:37It's been on every major piece she's designed for years.
12:40No, Mia.
12:41Explain it.
12:42Make her shut up.
12:47It's funny.
12:48All those pieces from the Milan collection that everyone's losing in their life.
12:53They all have E.W. and G.W. so near, too.
12:57Victoria's daughter is Emily Winter.
13:00Her newborn is Grace Winter.
13:03It's just quite a coincidence that those initials should appear in all your designs, Mia.
13:07Is there a special E.W. and G.W. in your life, too?
13:12Well, Mia, tell them.
13:14Tell them you designed this.
13:15Tell them you saved Milan.
13:18The logo, it's...
13:21It's adapted based on traditional motifs.
13:24You lying little bitch!
13:27That promotion was for saving the company!
13:33Look at the logo again.
13:36It's not E.W. or G.W.
13:38It's actually two M's.
13:42M.M.
13:43For McMichael.
13:44My last name.
13:48See?
13:49One M flipped.
13:51One upright.
13:52It's not for Grace or Emily.
13:56It's mine.
13:58That is absolutely ridiculous.
14:01Oh my god, she's right.
14:02It does look more like two M's.
14:04You manipulative bitch.
14:07You really thought you could steal the credit from my star designer.
14:12You learned well, Mia.
14:15Maybe too well.
14:17You'll regret this.
14:20Not fancy.
14:22We don't have to sink to that level.
14:24Okay.
14:26Then let me drive you home, okay?
14:27My Ferrari's outside.
14:29I got this you shouldn't be carrying anymore.
14:35Congratulations on your promotion, Mia.
14:39Just take care of a matter of poly, will you?
14:45That's right! Get the hell out of my company!
14:48Go lead your 401k somewhere else.
14:50Paul and Victoria.
14:51A VIP invitation.
14:52As fashionedly.
14:53Front row.
14:54I didn't even find it.
14:55Lightning.
14:56Every pregnant woman fired.
14:57All of us.
14:58Just like this.
14:59I'm sorry.
15:00I'm sorry.
15:01I'm sorry.
15:02I'm sorry.
15:03I'm sorry.
15:04I'm sorry.
15:05I'm sorry.
15:06I'm sorry.
15:07I'm sorry.
15:08I'm sorry.
15:09I'm sorry.
15:10I'm sorry.
15:12켜 Kill me all.
15:15I'm sorry.
15:17Only一切.
15:20I came-
15:22No severance.
15:23No warning.
15:24Nothing.
15:25But a box and a security escort.
15:32Finally purged the company of those walking liabilities!
15:35Their termination paperwork practically paid for your sign and bonus my writing and star.
15:40Now, about Paris Fashion Week.
15:43Your designs are eagerly awaited.
15:48You should have kept your legs closed.
15:58Oh my god, Mom.
16:00This is insane.
16:01I can't believe we're actually here.
16:03Victoria Winford. The Nuclear Vic.
16:06Your mom's basically a legend. You know that, right?
16:10We've been taking bets on where you'll land after Maison Léveau.
16:14Their loss is definitely someone else's jackpot.
16:19Wait, Maison Léveau?
16:22Well, well, the queen without her crown graces us with her presence.
16:26Brave of you to show up here.
16:28What's next? Applying for retail jobs at the mall?
16:31Leaving so soon.
16:32You haven't introduced me to your princess.
16:34Does Mommy Dearest build you in on her little career update about getting canned for not cutting it anymore?
16:46Mom, is that true?
16:48Don't worry. She'll explain once she figures out how to keep paying your tuition bills.
16:55Ladies and gentlemen, Victoria Winter. Still pretending she matters.
17:00My mom is one of the most talented designers in this entire room.
17:07If Maison Léveau was putting people like you in charge of the business, then maybe she deserves to crash and burn.
17:14Well, look at that. It seems entitlement runs in the family.
17:17Say whatever you want about me, but leave my daughter out of it.
17:22That's got a sting, huh? Exposed as unemployed in front of your kid who worships you like some kind of hero?
17:28But hey, good news. There's a factory down the street that's always looking for hardworking children.
17:34If paying the bills is getting tough, maybe send her over there.
17:38That's enough.
17:42That's enough.
17:44You've always been a fraud, Victoria. You never belonged in this world.
17:49Look at her. A jobless single mom still pretending she can afford couture.
17:54That dress, that's a cheap knockoff.
18:00Wearing fakes to Paris Fashion Week, it's not just pathetic.
18:03It's insulting to everyone here who actually deserves to be here.
18:10What the hell do you think you're doing?
18:13Remove that dress.
18:15We don't tolerate counterfeits in this industry.
18:19Hey, stop it! Let go of my mom!
18:21And let's see what garbage is really hiding under that dress.
18:26Take your hands off her now.
18:31Vincent.
18:37You're dismissed.
18:46You alright?
18:47I'm fine.
18:48Jesus Christ, that's Vincent Chevalier.
18:51The reclusive billionaire who never shows up anywhere?
18:54What the hell is he doing with Victoria?
18:56That knockoff that you're so here to trash her for?
19:02It's Chevenne.
19:04Haute Couture.
19:05Winter Collection.
19:06Not even released yet.
19:07Price tag?
19:08300,000.
19:09Wow!
19:10You gave her that.
19:11That's right.
19:12You did.
19:13I would give her the entire damn collection if she wanted it.
19:15Oh my god, everyone mystery solved.
19:16Victoria's bagged herself a sugar daddy!
19:17Mr. Billionaire's not a white white knight, he's your walking trust fund.
19:30Victoria's sleeping her weight at the top.
19:31Victoria's bagged herself a sugar daddy.
19:34Mr. Billionaire's not a white knight. He's her walking trust fund.
19:40Victoria's sleeping her weight at the top.
19:43It's just so predictably desperate.
19:49You really don't understand real talent, do you?
19:53For those of you who don't know me,
19:56I'm Vincent Chevalier,
19:58CEO of Jeven.
20:01Yes, I have been in love with Victoria Winter since high school.
20:08I have followed your career from a distance for years.
20:11Your brilliance, your principles, your passion.
20:17Victoria, there is no one else like you in this entire industry.
20:21Mom, did you know about this?
20:23Now, I'm not going to pursue anything until she's ready.
20:27But in the meantime, what I will do
20:29is ensure that her incredible talent has the platform that it deserves.
20:34She won't let you down, boss.
20:39You're making a complete ass of yourself, Chevalier.
20:42She's nothing but a has-been.
20:43The show is about to start.
20:47Your seats are waiting.
20:53Holy shit.
20:55The industry Golden Boy and the creative powerhouse together?
20:58Talk about a power couple.
21:00They can run the entire industry.
21:01This isn't over, bitch.
21:05Wait till we see what I've prepared for you.
21:07So you seriously been in love with my mom since high school?
21:23Some talents you recognize immediately.
21:28Some people too.
21:29Ladies and gentlemen, before we kick off tonight's show, I have an important announcement.
21:39This woman is nothing but a fraud and a thief.
21:42She's been stealing designs from my creative director for years.
21:45It's true.
21:48She took my work and passed it off as her own.
21:51I've slaved away on those designs.
21:54Day and night.
21:57And Victoria had the nerve to pass them off as her own.
22:04That's just the tip of the iceberg, isn't it, Victoria?
22:07Your entire career is based on lies and manipulation.
22:11That's enough, Holly.
22:12Everyone thinks you're this creative genius, but I know what you really are.
22:17Your personal life is just as fake as the so-called talent.
22:22Did you know she slept with half the executives in the industry?
22:27That's her real design strategy.
22:29Stop it, Holly.
22:30You're embarrassing yourself.
22:31And those kids she's so proud of?
22:33Who knows who their real fathers are?
22:37How get you?
22:38It's a disaster in there.
22:45There's something wrong with the collection.
22:47It's the fabric.
22:48Not now.
22:53The primary fabrics are disintegrating under the lights.
22:57The dresses are literally falling apart.
23:00We've only got 50 minutes left until showtime.
23:03Is this some kind of sick joke, Maison Moffat?
23:05Are you canceling the show because of your incompetence?
23:08This is completely unprofessional.
23:11I have 10 million invested in this collection.
23:14This is breach of contract.
23:18It's actually fixable.
23:21Well, you can't seriously be thinking about helping with backstabbing vultures.
23:25Breaking news from Paris Fashion Week.
23:30Maison Moffat appears to be imploding underneath new leadership.
23:34Sources say the entire collection may be canceled minutes before showtime.
23:38The question on everyone's mind, is this the end for the once prestigious fashion groups?
23:46This show doesn't happen.
23:48You're personally liable for the breach penalties.
23:51We're talking billions, Holly.
23:53Billions.
23:54What's this?
24:18Now.
24:20How?
24:21The fabric supplier must have sent us defective materials.
24:25I can't magically make new dresses in an hour.
24:28You have exactly 30 minutes to make this work.
24:32If you don't, those breach penalties are coming out of your pocket.
24:36That's billions of dollars.
24:39Then you better figure something out.
24:41Because if you don't, not only are you fired, I'll make sure you never work in fashion again.
24:46Miss Winter, how do you respond to accusations over design theft?
25:01Is there any truth to Holly Jenkins' claims about your personal life?
25:04Please respect Miss Winter's privacy.
25:08And for the record, you'll all soon see who the real thief is.
25:12We're gathering evidence as we speak.
25:14Excuse me.
25:26Excuse me.
25:27Excuse me.
25:29It's okay, punk.
25:31I'll be right.
25:31What do you want, Mia?
25:42Vic, I really need your help.
25:45Funny way to ask for a favor after that stunt you just pulled.
25:48Look, I know you're furious.
25:53I would be too.
25:54But think about Miranda and Pauline for a second.
25:57What about them?
25:58Their jobs are on the line with this show.
26:01If we tank, they're done.
26:03Holly will fire them without a second thought.
26:06Please, if you care about them keeping their jobs, just help us out here.
26:12Miranda and Pauline are responsible for this show.
26:14Yes, absolutely.
26:15And they're counting on this being a hit.
26:18Please, Vic, not for me.
26:21For them.
26:22For it's weird.
26:23I would have expected them to be here in Paris, you know, for such a make-or-break show.
26:28What exactly happened to them, Mia?
26:33They, they couldn't make it.
26:35Holly cut the travel budget.
26:38Is that right?
26:40Toria, I know I don't deserve your help.
26:45They do.
26:47Fine.
26:48I'll help you.
26:51But I'm doing this for Miranda and Pauline.
26:53Not for you.
27:03Oh my God.
27:07It's Victoria Winter.
27:08The nuclear VEC.
27:09I need scissors, thread, and fresh lining fabric, now.
27:19I need royal fuchsia for the stitching.
27:22Regular fuchsia won't work for this fabric.
27:24Does anyone have royal fuchsia thread?
27:26Will this work?
27:38Vincent, how did you...
27:39I figured you might need some supplies, so I had my assistant bring over Joven's emergency kit.
27:45This is perfect, but Jovaine and Maison Lavo are competitors. Why would you help them?
27:54I'm not helping them. I'm helping you.
28:00I can't ask you to do this without giving me something in return.
28:04I have a design I've been saving. Something special I've never shown anyone. It's yours now.
28:10I don't want your design, Victoria.
28:14Then what do you want?
28:17You.
28:20What?
28:23Your talent. Your vision. Come and work as Jovaine.
28:30I'm in. I'll work for you.
28:33Just like that?
28:35Just like that. Now, let me finish my final job for Maison Lavo.
28:44I hate it when I'm gone.
28:47I wish I was cool.
28:50Like the new girl at school.
28:52I regret it.
28:53So I'ma get, I'ma get, I'ma get, I'ma get it.
28:56I want me back.
28:59Don't ever change.
29:02I'm gonna be proud of my name.
29:07She's doing it in minutes. What would have taken us hours.
29:11Whoa. No wonder they call her the Nuclear Vic.
29:15It's so fucked up watching her fix my disaster like it's nothing.
29:19The woman I replaced making me look like an amateur.
29:23I had to be myself.
29:27Five minutes till showtime. You made it.
29:32Woo!
29:34Woo!
29:41Well?
29:42Do we pull the plug or not?
29:44We're good. Everything's back on track.
29:46See?
29:48I knew firing Victoria was the right call. You've got twice her talent.
29:53Yeah.
29:54Right.
29:55This is exactly why I promoted you.
29:58You need to fix vests and not make them.
30:07To Victoria.
30:09The real hero of the night.
30:21Mom, you're insane.
30:23I can't believe you actually picked that disaster in under an hour.
30:26Couldn't have done it without you.
30:30You know, if you start dating before you work together,
30:33it doesn't count as an office romance.
30:35Well, well, still hanging around.
30:37I thought you'd be too embarrassed to show your face at the after party.
30:38Fraud.
30:39Pauline, why don't you ask the models what happened backstage tonight?
30:41What are you talking about?
30:42Just ask the models.
30:43Any of them.
30:44Oh, and Mia.
30:45Don't forget about our agreement.
30:46About Miranda and Pauline.
30:47I won't.
30:48I won't.
30:49I won't.
30:50I won't.
30:51I won't.
30:52I won't.
30:53I won't.
30:54I won't.
30:55I won't.
30:56I won't.
30:57I won't.
30:58I won't.
30:59I won't.
31:00I won't.
31:01I won't.
31:02I won't.
31:03I won't.
31:04I won't.
31:09Two new beginnings at Chauvin.
31:18Speaking of new beginnings.
31:20Emily's private school application is due next month, right?
31:24I want to help.
31:26With her education.
31:27What?
31:28Vincent, that's too much.
31:29We barely know each other.
31:34Victoria, I've known you since we were 17.
31:39I remember watching you win that regional competition.
31:44In that silver dress.
31:46The one you made from scratch.
31:48I saw the way your eyes lit up when you talked about changing the fashion world.
31:54You remember that?
31:56I remember everything.
31:59I have followed your career all these years, just hoping that our paths would cross again.
32:07Why didn't you ever reach out?
32:09We were married.
32:11And then you weren't.
32:14And then you were building your career.
32:17The timing was never right.
32:20Until now.
32:22Until now.
32:32I have been waiting.
32:3420 years to do that.
32:35I should probably get this.
32:50Mia?
32:51God, I was so right about firing Victoria.
33:05That Milan disaster you turned around?
33:08Absolute magic.
33:09And now I have an opportunity that can put you on the map for good.
33:13Sean Gosling needs a tuxedo for the Oscars red carpet.
33:20Sean Gosling?
33:21The Sean Gosling?
33:22The very one.
33:23Three-time Oscar winner.
33:25People's Sexiest Man Alive.
33:27And if you play our cards right, the next face of Maison de Bozeman's wear.
33:32They're taking pitches now.
33:34If he picks yours, this changes everything.
33:37For you.
33:38For the brand.
33:39Where it is, Joven's in the running too.
33:42Lanthus.
33:43Vincent and his poor Victoria are done.
33:49Seal the deal.
33:50I'll bump your pay by 20%.
33:52I've got this, Holly.
33:54You won't regret it.
33:55God, what am I gonna do?
34:04I can't design menswear.
34:06I barely pulled off the woman's with Victoria's help.
34:09Miranda and Pauline are gone too.
34:11I'm completely on my own.
34:14If Holly bought that I saved Milan and fixed Paris when it was all Victoria,
34:21maybe I can squeeze one more miracle over it.
34:47Thanks for meeting me.
34:48I know things are complicated between us.
34:50You mentioned Miranda and Pauline.
34:52Cut to the chase.
34:56We're pitching for Sean's Oscar text.
34:58Miranda and Pauline are also on the-
35:00Miranda's excellent with menswear.
35:01She can handle this without me.
35:02Please, wait.
35:03There's more to it.
35:05After Paris, Holly needed someone to blame for the fabric disaster.
35:09Miranda and Pauline are on the chopping block.
35:11I've been fighting for them.
35:13Are you serious?
35:14Pauline's due any day now.
35:16Trust me, I know.
35:18No, this project is our only shot.
35:20If we land it, I can convince Holly to keep them both.
35:23Have you worked with Sean before?
35:25No, but I've heard you have.
35:28Ages ago.
35:29I did a jacket for him for the Met Gala.
35:32Actually, I was sketching a new tuxedo concept for him right before I left Maison-Galot.
35:37Really?
35:38What concept?
35:39Well.
35:40Perfect.
35:41She's handing everything over without even realizing.
35:46I'll use our design to save my ass and land this project.
35:51Do you still have any of the sketches somewhere?
35:52I do.
35:53Actually, I...
35:54I took them with me when I left Maison-Laveau.
35:55Wait.
35:56Miranda went on maternity leave last week.
35:57How exactly is she part of this project?
35:58Is she part of this project?
35:59No.
36:00No.
36:01No.
36:02No.
36:03No.
36:04No.
36:05No.
36:06No.
36:07No.
36:08No.
36:09No.
36:10No.
36:11No.
36:12Located sit in 2011 where I left Maison-Laveau.
36:13Wait.
36:14Miranda went on maternity leave last week.
36:19How exactly is she part of this project?
36:21Well, since she's the best menswear designer we have...
36:25Holly is lighting her work from home.
36:27Is the company covering your health insurance?
36:30Of course, Vic.
36:32Polille and Miranda's jobs are on the line here.
36:38I need to think about it more.
36:40Take all the time you need.
36:42Ma'am, don't make me regret trusting you.
36:46Again.
37:04Pumpkin, I need a quick favor.
37:06Remember that tuxedo sketch I was working on before everything went sideways?
37:10The Shawn Gosselin one with the black hats and lapels?
37:14That's the one.
37:15Can you check my home office?
37:16It should be in the portfolio marked Men's Formal 2025.
37:20Got it.
37:22Grace is napping. The perfect timing.
37:24Thanks, sweetie.
37:25I just need to double check something about that.
37:30Shoulder.
37:32Instruction.
37:34Mom, are you okay?
37:40Miranda?
37:42Vic?
37:46Mom! Mom! What's going on?
37:49Emily, I'll call you right back.
37:53Miranda, what happened? Why the hell are you scrubbing toilets?
37:56Mettles don't pay themselves.
37:58You met my husband.
38:00Old child with no paycheck.
38:02And now there's a newborn at home.
38:05Mia said you were on maternity leave working remotely on the Gosselin project.
38:10What?
38:11Is that a story she's spinning now?
38:13Amanda?
38:15After you left, she fired every pregnant woman in the company.
38:19No surveillance, no cover, nothing.
38:22Just gone.
38:24That's completely illegal.
38:26Company lawyers said that we all suddenly violated some buried performance clause.
38:31All at once.
38:32What are the odds, right?
38:35And Polly, parking night shifts at 24 hours down here.
38:40Her sister medical bills keep piling up.
38:48And Mia knew about all this.
38:50Mia.
38:51Front row seat when Holly made an announcement.
38:55Didn't even blink.
38:57Too busy admiring her shiny new creative director title.
39:01She's been using you and Pauline to manipulate me.
39:05Telling me her draw depended on me helping her.
39:08What?
39:10That bitch!
39:13This ends now.
39:14Damn it!
39:25Miss Michael.
39:27He's just arrived from Milan.
39:29We need approval by name for that.
39:31Can't you see I'm working on something important?
39:42What are you all looking at?
39:43Get back to work!
39:45Victoria would never treat us like this.
39:49I heard that.
39:50You think Victoria is so perfect?
39:53Then where is she now?
39:55Gone.
39:56Now I'm in charge and if anyone has a problem with that, there's the door.
40:00Well at least you could actually design her.
40:07What the hell is going on here?
40:10Just a creative disagreement.
40:12Everything's under control.
40:14The Gosling page.
40:15Tell me you have something presentable.
40:20Of course, I'm just finalizing some details.
40:22Show me.
40:24It's not quite ready.
40:25Now.
40:26You're going to be in charge of your company.
40:27This is garbage.
40:29Absolute garbage!
40:34I just need a little more time.
40:37We don't have more time.
40:38This is Sean Gosling we're talking about.
40:40If Shun Fin gets this deal instead of us?
40:42instead of us what's that it's just some inspiration I recorded for the design I
40:56don't care if you have to sell your soul to the devil get me a winning design way
41:01tomorrow morning or pack up your desk by lunch
41:12I still can't believe I'm using this as leverage

41:48she'll get her a sketch and that's where we spring the trap
41:54you're early
42:07Vic I really need that sketch
42:11I said I'd help
42:19not hand over my design
42:21Holly's all over me about this if I don't have something tonight Miranda and Pauline are toast
42:28still lying Mia you never learn guess it's payback time
42:34so do you want my help or not I can walk you through it your design could be just as good
42:40she's such a snake
42:43oh Vic my stomach is killing me can you run to the pharmacy and get something please

42:53I'm sorry then survival of the fittest

46:10And you're still here.
46:12Final tweaks.
46:14The pitch goes out tomorrow.
46:19You've got Grace to sleep.
46:23Yeah.
46:24And Emily's almost finished with her algebra.
46:30Maybe new beginnings aren't so scary after all.
46:38Remember, smile.
46:40We're about to make this three.
46:44Maison Laveau sets the bar.
46:47We don't follow trends.
46:49We create them.
46:49Satin black lapels, nod to Mr. Sean Gosling's Met Gala moment, a blend of tradition and boldness.
47:03I think we can all agree Maison Laveau is back on top.
47:07What is that bitch doing here?
47:18Thank you, Mr. Jenkins, for clearing out your best talent.
47:23My company is thriving because of your generosity.
47:28I didn't expect to see you here.
47:30I thought you'd be all tied up with PTA meetings and diaper changes.
47:34I multitask.
47:38Unlike some, I don't need to fire half my staff to feel competent.
47:43You know, Holly, your fresh blood strategies work in wonders.
47:48The office is so empty, it echoes.
47:51And the only thing growing at Maison Laveau is the legal risk.
47:55Pregnant women talk, you know.
47:57Three ex and threes and a rival CEO.
48:00What's next?
48:01A date sale?
48:03Laugh all you want, Holly.
48:05You're about to see what real teamwork looks like.
48:08And what real loyalty looks like.
48:22Sean, glad you could make it.
48:24We have something very special to show you.
48:30Vic.
48:34I thought you just had a beautiful baby girl you'd never know.
48:37Congratulations.
48:38Thank you, Sean.
48:40It's good to see you.
48:42Let's begin the pitches.
48:45You ready to lose?
48:46You're out of your league.
48:48You should know by now, I don't play by your rules.
48:54First up, Mia McMichael.
48:59Maison Laveau.
49:18Next, Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.
49:21Beautiful work.
49:32Both themes.
49:37We'll need a few minutes to discuss.
49:38After careful consideration, we're awarding the project to...
49:49Maison Laveau.
49:51Oh, my God.
49:54Of course.
49:55This is what you planned all along, wasn't it?
49:59What the hell did you people put me in?
50:10Are you trying to kill me?
50:13Mr. Gosling has a serious allergy to synthetic silk.
50:15Who designed his tuxedo?
50:17Did you even read the brief?
50:21I mean...
50:22You must have read the brief.
50:24It's not complicated.
50:25It says no synthetic blends.
50:28I mean...
50:29It must be some kind of mistake.
50:31Perhaps Mia overlooked something.
50:33A mistake?
50:35I could have ended up in the emergency room.
50:38Victoria.
50:39Please, tell these amateurs
50:41why you pulled your last aside.
50:43Okay.
50:47I pulled my design
50:51because the only fabric left was synthetic.
50:53I'd never risk Mr. Gosling's health for a deadline.
50:57And that's why Victoria's the best.
50:59She actually pays attention.
51:01After reviewing all of the entries,
51:03the committee has reached a decision.
51:05The commission goes to
51:06Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.
51:08Mr. Gosling, it was just a slip-up.
51:14Mia's design was the front-runner all along.
51:17That's why they picked her first.
51:22Maybe everyone should see this.
51:29Wait, Mia.
51:30Did you actually steal Victoria's design?
51:36Not so near low.
51:38Even for you.
51:39Maison Laveau will be hearing from my liars.
51:47And so you know,
51:48I will be supporting Victoria's case
51:51for design theft.
51:54Maison Laveau's reputation is toast.
51:57We're suspending all collaborations.
51:59Don't even think about trying to land anywhere else.
52:12You're blacklisted.
52:18Victoria, please.
52:19Victoria, please.
52:30I'll do anything.
52:31Please just help me save the company,
52:33the brand you built for 15 years.
52:36You made your choices, Holly.
52:38Now you live with them.
52:41Yeah.
52:41I finally went too far.
52:43Sean Gosling's look tonight is a game changer
52:52crafted by the trailblazing team at JoVen.
52:55Social media is already calling it
52:56the Winter Revolution.
52:58To the best comeback in fashion history
53:08and to the women who made it happen.
53:11And to the maternity leave
53:13that actually means something.
53:17Mom, you might want to see this.
53:20Happy birthday, Victoria.
53:34Happy birthday to you!
53:40Nice.
53:41Look.
53:44Maison Laveau on the brink.
53:46Scandal pushes fashion giant towards bankruptcy.
53:49Ouch.
53:51I guess karma has a sense of humor.
53:54It's strange, isn't it?
53:59I gave them everything.
54:01Late nights, weekends,
54:03all the best years,
54:05and they tossed us aside like we were nothing.
54:08Now it's all crashing down.
54:10I thought I'd feel vindicated.
54:12Honestly, it's a weird mix.
54:15Relief, sure,
54:16but also a little bit of grief.
54:19Look.
54:20Who said that our best years are behind us?
54:23Look at this.
54:26JoVen pushes for paid leave
54:28and parental support
54:29across all industries.
54:31Victoria, this is you.
54:33You did this.
54:35Here's to a future
54:37where women don't have to choose
54:39between their families and their careers.
54:41not just for us,
54:42but for every woman who comes after.
54:46Careful, Vincent.
54:47You almost forgot the best part.
54:49Victoria Winter.
55:02Will you marry me?
55:06Yes.
55:07Yes.
55:08A thousand times, yes.
55:11Woo!
55:11Woo!
55:12Oh, sometimes, yes.
55:34Best birthday ever!
55:42You came. I thought you'd want to see me like this.
55:54I came because I wanted to hear it from you.
55:58When word got out you left. Clients bailed.
56:02The board freaked. Numbers tanked. I couldn't stop it.
56:07You steered Maison Laveau into this storm, Holly.
56:15I know. I know.
56:19My father...
56:21The stress gave him a heart attack. He won't even speak to me anymore.
56:25I destroyed everything.
56:27My thoughts slashing costs would save us, but instead I gutted the company.
56:33I don't mean for it to end like this.
56:37Maison Laveau isn't dead.
56:39I bought it.
56:41Last week.
56:43The brand.
56:45The archives. Even the debt.
56:47It's part of Given now.
56:49If you'd like it, why would you do that?
56:51To make sure that no more women have to suffer because of policies like yours.
56:57You win, Victoria.
57:01To help you do better than I did.
57:05I'll do it differently.
57:07Goodbye, Holly.
57:09Goodbye, Holly.
57:25Miss Winter.
57:27I just...
57:29I wanted to thank you.
57:31Because of your campaign, my company gave me maternity leave.
57:35I can keep working and have my baby.
57:41You changed everything.
57:43Congratulations.
57:45Wishing you and your little one every happiness.
57:57Ready?
58:01Always.
58:02Always.
58:13And now, Jovan's new collection designed by Victoria Wintour and Murthy.
