00:00Shit! No, no, no, no, no, no, no. The system crashed mid-upload. Half the collection is the wrong season. Wrong everything. No.
00:21We're on runways in 48 hours. If productions start with these botched designs, we're all dead. Not just fired, 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 the fashion editor from Vogue. Right now, one word for me, your industry poison.
00:51Enough. 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.
01:49I swear to god, you're not human. 27 minutes. Holy shit. Pre-orders are flooding in. This will shatter everywhere.
01:57This will shatter every record.
02:05Bec, are you okay?
02:09Just racks and hicks, nothing to-
02:14Oh my god, your water broke.
02:16Mom, you were seriously in active labor while saving the entire company?
02:26Multitasking is my superpower pumpkin?
02:29Dad 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.
02:42That's my girl.
02:44Well, the company's yours now, Holly. But there's a condition. We need to slash costs. Immediately.
02:48Layoffs.
02:49Layoffs.
02:50Layoffs.
02:51That's it without leave.
02:52Oh, Dad, I know exactly where to start our cuts.
02:53Well, just remember, whoever cleaned up that Malayan disaster, they get immunity.
02:54In fact, um...
02:55They deserve a promotion.
02:56They deserve a promotion.
02:57They deserve a promotion.
02:58They deserve a promotion.
02:59You know, the company's yours now, Holly.
03:00You know, the company's yours now, Holly.
03:01But there's a condition.
03:02We need to slash costs.
03:03Immediately.

03:35Boss, the Milan collection crisis? Averted. Pre-orders are pouring in.
03:41You, you saved the entire collection? Impressive.
03:45Oh, actually, how about I make you the new creative director? Starting today.
03:51Oh my god, is this really happening? She's offering me Victoria's job?
03:57I can finally get rid of that bitch hanging over my head?
04:01But, Victoria...
04:05Don't worry about her. I'm not useless. Prego is on fire.
04:13You know that collection I just rescued, Em?
04:17I hid something in the design. Your initials and now little graces.
04:23Hold them right into the fabric.
04:25And 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.
04:37Mom, you may have to.
04:39You're going to that private school. No discussion.
04:43Your sister and I will manage just fine. This job will keep us afloat.
04:47I love you, Mom.
04:49I love you, Mom.
05:01Holy shit, Holly actually thought I was the one who saved the company?
05:05After all these years in your shadow, Victoria, I'm finally taking what I deserve.
05:11Look, I'm gonna fire every single one of them.
05:27What the hell?
05:29Listen up, everyone.
05:31Victoria Wintour is terminated. Effective immediately.
05:43You can't just do that. She's in the hospital having her baby. They're a loss against this.
05:49Vic worked while in labor. She's the creative backbone of Maison Laveau.
05:55Maternity leave, medical insurance, these preggles are bleeding us dry.
06:01Everything okay here?
06:05Great timing.
06:07Victoria Wintour, you're fired.
06:11Clear out your desk now.
06:20You're Matthew's daughter, aren't you?
06:23I saved this company three times when your father couldn't make payroll.
06:27Three times.
06:29Well...
06:31That's ancient history.
06:33The board wants fresh blood.
06:35And Mia here just saved the entire Milan collection.
06:39What?
06:41I'm the one who...
06:45Mia, you...
06:47Feel that curve?
06:51That's your signature.
06:53That's what makes it Maison Laveau.
06:59How could you?
07:01I taught you everything you know.
07:03I wish things were different, Vic.
07:15I should have thought about your career before getting pregnant.
07:19What happens to my team?
07:23Miranda pulled all-nighters for a month straight working on your father's exclusive collections.
07:29Things got so bad she had to get hair implants.
07:33Pauline had to cancel her own wedding because of a company meeting at the Louvre.
07:39These jobs are their lifelines.
07:41Health insurance.
07:42Paid maternity leave.
07:43Basic human dignity.
07:44You can't just throw them away.
07:46Actually, legally speaking, we can.
07:50No mandated paid maternity leave.
07:52No real protection.
07:53But hey, that's corporate America for you.
07:56Or we can shift the math.
07:59You sign.
08:01They stay.
08:02The budget works out.
08:04Think of it as...
08:07Taking one for the team.
08:10Miranda's still drowning in her husband's debts.
08:13And Pauline's sister still needs another surgery.
08:16They can't lose their jobs.
08:22Come on, Vic.
08:23You say you care about them.
08:25Prove it.
08:26Okay.
08:27Bye-bye.
08:28For everyone.
08:30I'm sorry.
08:31Bye-bye.
08:32We're so glad to be hampered.
08:33We're back at the time.
08:34Come on, Vic.
08:35You can't take my trust.
08:36I know.
08:37You're back at the time.
08:38I've been okay.
08:39You're back.
08:40I'm sorry.
08:41You're back at the time.
08:42Let's do that.
08:43You're back.
08:48You're back at the time.
08:49She's always on a Friday.
08:50I haven't been on a Friday.
08:52I haven't been on a Friday night at the time.
08:53I'm back here.
08:54Five grand?
09:01That's my severance package after 15 years.
09:04That's what I'm worth to them.
09:19Careful.
09:21I got you.
09:24Vincent?
09:29Vincent Chevalier?
09:31Hi.
09:34High school feels like another lifetime, doesn't it?
09:46So, it's true.
09:50Great Victoria Winter is being shown the door after single-handedly saving Miselebeau's Milan collection.
09:56How 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?
10:13I'm talking about you and me.
10:17Partners.
10:19You're genius.
10:21My money.
10:23No corporate BS.
10:25No one holding you back.
10:27I've got a baby to think about now.
10:33And I have an empty corner office with a view and an attached nursery.
10:37Just saying.
10:40Vincent Chevalier, wow.
10:41You didn't expect to see the head of Joven, our corporate nemesis strolling into the office.
10:50Got your spy here?
10:52Don't mind me.
10:53I'm just giving Victoria here a soft landing.
10:57Triple her salary.
10:58Corner office.
10:59You know.
11:00Before the vultures at LV or Chanel swoop in.
11:01Oh, so you're dumpster diving now.
11:02Rescuing a washed up single mom with outdated ideas?
11:03Oh, that's an interesting take to have considering you wearing Victoria's designs head to toe.
11:20I mean the jacket, that's Victoria's spring collection, right?
11:25The earrings, that's Victoria's collaboration with Cartier.
11:29If her work is so far beneath you, then maybe you should just strip.
11:36Shit, shit, shit.
11:38What are you talking about?
11:39Victoria designed all of this.
11:46Actually, those were my designs.
11:52What did you just say?
11:53The spring collection.
11:55The Cartier pieces.
11:57I designed them.
11:58Under your supervision, of course, but they came for me.
12:02Oops.
12:03Looks like you've been backing the wrong horse, Vincent.
12:06I thought you were better than this, Mia.
12:10Then explain my signature.
12:12On the original sketch dated six months ago.
12:20So what?
12:21Sketches get passed around all the time.
12:22It doesn't prove squat.
12:24Maybe she was your little, what do they call it?
12:27Guest designer?
12:29And the logo?
12:30The EW, woven in, Victoria's signature mark.
12:37It's been on every major piece she's designed for years.
12:40Well, Mia, explain it.
12:41Make me shut up.
12:46It's funny.
12:47All those pieces from the Milan collection that everyone's losing in their life.
12:52They all have EW and GW so new too.
12:56Victoria's daughter is Emily Winter.
12:59Her newborn is Grace Winter.
13:02It's just quite a coincidence that those initials should appear in all your designs, Mia.
13:06Is there a special EW and GW in your life too?
13:11Well, Mia, tell them.
13:13Tell them you designed this.
13:15Tell them you saved Milan.
13:18The logo, it's...
13:20It's adapted based on traditional motifs.
13:25You lying little bitch!
13:27That promotion was for saving the company.
13:33Look at the logo again.
13:34It's not EW or GW.
13:39It's actually two Ms.
13:42MM for McMichael, my last name.
13:48See?
13:49One M flipped, one upright.
13:52It's not for Grace or Emily.
13:55It's mine.
13:57That is absolutely ridiculous.
14:00Oh my god, she's right.
14:01It does look more like two Ms.
14:04Yeah.
14:06You manipulated bitch.
14:07You really thought you could steal the credit from my star designer.
14:11You learned well, Mia.
14:14Maybe too well.
14:16You'll regret this.
14:19Mark and Sue, we don't have to sink to their level.
14:23Okay.
14:25Then let me drive you home, okay?
14:26My Ferrari's outside.
14:27I got this.
14:29You shouldn't be carrying anyone right now.
14:36Congratulations on your promotion, Mia.
14:39Just take care of Miranda and Pauline, will you?
14:45That's right! Get the hell out of my company!
14:47Go lead your 401K somewhere else.
14:50Go lead your 401K somewhere else.
14:51You
