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?
02:02I swear to god.
02:04Just practice and Hicks. Nothing to...
02:06Oh my god. Your water broke.
02:10Mom, we're seriously in active labor while saving the entire company?
02:22Multi-tasking is my superpower pumpkin?
02:26Dad called. He wanted to know if he should come, but...
02:30I told him that he lost his visiting privileges since he decided that his assistant's bed was more comfortable than ours.
02:38That's my girl.
02:40Well, the company's yours now, Holly. But there's... a condition.
02:55We need to slash costs. Immediately.
02:59Layoffs.
03:03Absent without leave.
03:05Oh, Dad, I know exactly where to start our cuts.
03:08Well, just remember. Whoever cleaned up that Milan disaster, they get immunity.
03:15In fact, um...
03:17They deserve a promotion.
03:22No way this Victoria Wintour saved the company since she's not even there.
03:30Boss, the Milan collection crisis? Averted. Pre-orders are pouring in.
03:35You? You saved the entire collection?
03:37Impressive.
03:38Oh, actually...
03:39How about I make you the new creative director, starting today?
03:44Oh my god, is this really happening?
03:48She's offering me Victoria's job?
03:50I can finally get rid of that bitch hanging over my head?
03:54But... Victoria...
03:55Don't worry about her. That useless pregoat is now fired.
04:09You know that collection I just rescued, Em?
04:11I hid something in the design.
04:14Your initials and now little graces.
04:18Hold them right into the fabric.
04:24And that's gonna give him a long runway?
04:28Plus, the bonus from this collection is substantial.
04:31Enough for your full tuition of private school.
04:34Mom, you don't have to.
04:35You're going to that private school.
04:38No discussion.
04:40Your sister and I will manage just fine.
04:42This job will keep us afloat.
04:45I love you, Mom.
04:56Holy shit, Holly actually thought I was the one who saved the company?
05:01After all these years in your shadow, Victoria,
05:04I'm finally taking what I deserve.
05:20Look, I'm gonna fire every single one of them.
05:31What the hell?
05:32Listen up, everyone.
05:33Victoria Wintour is terminated.
05:36Effective immediately.
05:39You can't just do that.
05:40She's in the hospital having her baby.
05:43They're a loss against this.
05:45Vic worked while in labor.
05:47She's the creative backbone of Maison Laveau.
05:50Maternity leave, medical insurance.
05:53These preggles are bleeding us dry.
05:56Everything okay here?
05:58Great timing.
06:00Victoria Wintour, you're fired.
06:04Clear out your desk now.
06:06You're Matthew's daughter, aren't you?
06:07I saved this company three times when your father couldn't make payroll.
06:22Three times.
06:23What?
06:24That's ancient history.
06:26The board wants fresh blood.
06:28And Mia here just saved the entire Milan collection.
06:33What?
06:35I'm the one who...
06:37Mia, you...
06:38Feel that curve?
06:39That's her signature.
06:40That's what makes it Maison Laveau.
06:41How could you?
06:42I taught you everything you know.
06:43I wish things were different, Vic.
06:44You should have thought about your career before getting pregnant.
06:45I wish things were different, Vic.
06:46You should have thought about your career before getting pregnant.
06:47I wish things were different, Vic.
06:48You should have thought about your career before getting pregnant.
06:53I wish things were different, Vic.
06:57You should have thought about your career before getting pregnant.
07:05I wish things were different, Vic.
07:09You should have thought about your career before getting pregnant.
07:18What happens to my team?
07:20Miranda pulled all-nighters for a month straight working on your father's exclusive collections.
07:26Things got so bad she had to get hair implants.
07:30Pauline had to cancel her own wedding because of a company meeting at the Louvre.
07:34These jobs are their lifelines! Health insurance, paid maternity leave, basic human dignity!
07:39You can't just throw them away!
07:42Well, actually, legally speaking, we can.
07:45No mandated paid maternity leave, no real protection, but hey, that's corporate America for you.
07:51Or we can shift the math.
07:54You sign, they stay, the budget works out.
07:59Think of it as...
08:02Taking one for the team.
08:04Miranda's still drowning in her husband's debts.
08:08And Pauline's sister still needs another surgery.
08:11They can't lose their jobs.
08:13Come on, Vic.
08:14You say you care about them.
08:19Prove it.
08:20Hm.
08:39Five grand.
08:56That's my severance package after 15 years.
08:59That's what I'm worth to them.
09:09Careful.
09:15I got you.
09:22Vincent?
09:23Vincent Chevalier?
09:26Hi.
09:29High school feels like another lifetime, doesn't it?
09:32So, it's true.
09:45Great Victoria Winter is being shown the door after single-handedly saving Mison Laveau's Milan collection.
09:54How do you feel about not having to answer to single-minded executives anymore?
10:00Someone with your kind of talent shouldn't be treated like this.
10:05What are you getting at exactly?
10:09I'm talking about you and me.
10:13Partners.
10:14Your genius, my money.
10:18No corporate BS.
10:20No one holding me back.
10:26I'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 gear?
10:47Don't mind me, I'm just giving Victoria here a soft landing.
10:56Triple 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?
11:21The earrings, that's Victoria's collaboration with Cartier.
11:24If her work is so far beneath you, then maybe you should just strip.
