00:00Shit! No, no, no, no, no, no, no. The system crashed mid-upload. Half the collection is the wrong season. Wrong everything. No, no.
00:18The Milan runway is in 48 hours. If production starts with these botched designs, we're all dead. Not just fire, dead. Company collapses, our careers are over.
00:30Come out here and talk to us. We have 8 million tied up in this collection.
00:34I have the fashion editor of Vogue online right now. One word for me and your interest in poison.
00:54No. Vic!
00:56Mia, Japanese indigo. Miranda, call production emergency protocol 7. Pauline, handle those vultures.
01:12Tell the boss to hold all calls. I need 28 minutes.
01:1628 minutes? The whole system takes 15 to reboot.
01:2027 now. Tick tock.
01:22Crazy wherever you're going. Girl, you got me going.
01:40And then. Crisis averted.
01:44I swear to god, you're not human. 27 minutes.
01:48Holy shit. Pre-orders are flooding in. This will shatter every record.
02:00Vic, are you okay?
02:02Just Braxton Hicks. Nothing to-
02:10Oh my god, your water broke.
02:16Mom, we're seriously in active labor while saving the entire company?
02:21Multitasking is my superpower pumpkin.
02:23Dad called. He wanted to know if he should come, but I told him that he lost his visiting privileges since he decided that his assistant's bed was more comfortable than ours.
02:39That's my girl.
02:49Well, the company's yours now, Holly, but there's a condition.
02:55We need to slash costs.
02:57Immediately.
02:59Layoffs.
03:03Absent without leave.
03:05Oh, Dad, I know exactly where to start our cuts.
03:09Well, just remember, whoever cleaned up that Milan disaster, they get immunity.
03:15In fact, um, they deserve a promotion.
03:23No way this Victoria Wintour saved the company since she's not even there.
03:27Boss, the Milan collection crisis? Averted. Pre-orders are pouring in.
03:35You, you saved the entire collection? Impressive.
03:39Oh, actually.
03:41How about I make you the new creative director? Starting today.
03:47Oh my god, is this really happening?
03:49She's offering me Victoria's job?
03:51I can finally get rid of that bitch hanging over my head?
03:55But, Victoria-
03:59Don't worry about her.
04:01That useless pregoat is now fired.
04:09You know that collection I just rescued, Em?
04:13I hid something in the design.
04:15Your initials and now little graces.
04:17Hold them right into the fabric.
04:19And that's gonna give him a long runway?
04:25Plus, the bonus from this collection is substantial.
04:29Enough for your full tuition of private school.
04:31Mom, you may have to.
04:33You're going to that private school.
04:35No discussion.
04:37Your sister and I will manage just fine.
04:39This job will keep us afloat.
04:41I love you, Mom.
04:43Holy shit, Holly actually thought I was the one who saved the company?
04:59After all these years in your shadow, Victoria, I'm finally taking what I deserve.
05:07Look, I'm gonna fire every single one of them.
05:23What the hell?
05:31Listen up, everyone.
05:33Victoria Wintour is terminated.
05:35Effective immediately.
05:37You can't just do that.
05:39She's in the hospital having her baby.
05:41They're a loss against this.
05:43Vic worked while in labor.
05:47She's the creative backbone of Maison Laveau.
05:49Maternity leave, medical insurance.
05:53These preggles are bleeding us dry.
05:55Everything okay here?
06:01Great timing.
06:03Victoria Wintour, you're fired.
06:05Clear out your desk now.
06:15You're Matthew's daughter, aren't you?
06:17I saved this company three times when your father couldn't make payroll.
06:21Three times.
06:25Well, that's ancient history.
06:29The board wants fresh blood.
06:31And Mia here just saved the entire Milan collection.
06:38What?
06:39I'm the one who...
06:41Mia, you...
06:43Feel that curve?
06:45That's her signature.
06:47That's what makes it Maison Laveau.
06:55How could you?
06:57I taught you everything you know.
07:05I wish things were different, Vic.
07:07I should've thought about your career before getting pregnant.
07:17What happens to my team?
07:19Miranda pulled all-nighters for a month straight working on your father's exclusive collections.
07:25Things got so bad she had to get hair implants.
07:29Pauline had to cancel her own wedding because of a company meeting at the Louvre.
07:33These jobs are their lifelines.
07:35Health insurance, paid maternity leave, basic human dignity.
07:39You can't just throw them away!
07:41Well, actually, legally speaking, we can.
07:45No mandated, paid maternity leave.
07:47No real protection.
07:48But hey, that's corporate America for you.
07:51Or, we can shift the math.
07:55You sign.
07:56They stay.
07:57The budget works out.
07:59Think of it as...
08:02Taking one for the team.
08:05Miranda's still drowning in her husband's debts.
08:07And Pauline's sister still needs another surgery.
08:11They can't lose their jobs.
08:17Come on, Vic. You say you care about them.
08:19Prove it.
08:37Mm.
08:39Mm.
08:41Mm.
08:45Mm.
08:46Mm...
08:47Mm.
08:50Mm.
08:51Mm.
08:52Mm.
08:53Mm.
08:54mm.
08:55Mm.
08:56Mm.
08:59Five grand?
09:00That's my severance package after 15 years.
09:02Mm.
09:03Mm.
09:04Mm.
09:05Mm.
09:06Careful. I got you.
09:18Vincent? Vincent Chevalier?
09:26Hi. High school feels like another lifetime, doesn't it?
09:34So, it's true.
09:45Great Victoria Winter is being shown the door after single-handedly saving Rizan Laveau's
09:50Milan collection.
09:54How do you feel about not having to answer to single-minded executives anymore?
10:01Someone with your kind of talent shouldn't be treated like this.
10:06What are you getting at exactly?
10:09I'm talking about you and me.
10:13Partners. Your genius, my money.
10:18No corporate BS. No one holding you back.
10:25I've got a baby to think about now.
10:28And I have an empty corner office with a view and an attached nursery.
10:34Just saying.
10:39Vincent Chevalier, wow.
10:41I didn't expect to see the head of Joven, our corporate nemesis, strolling into the office.
10:46Got your spy here?
10:47Don't mind me. I'm just giving Victoria here a soft landing, triple her salary, corner office.
10:59You know, before the vultures at LV or Chanel swooping.
11:03Oh, so you're dumpster diving now.
11:06Rescuing a washed-up single mom with outdated ideas?
11:09Oh, that's an interesting take to have, considering you're wearing Victoria's designs head to toe.
11:16I mean, the jacket, that's Victoria's spring collection, right?
11:20The earrings, that's Victoria's collaboration with Cartier.
11:23If her work is so far beneath you, then maybe you should just strip.
11:29Shit, shit, shit.
11:32What are you talking about? Victoria designed all of this?
