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.
00:12The Milan runway is in 48 hours. Production starts with these botched designs. We're all dead. Not just fire. Dead. Company collapses. Our careers are over.
00:25Come out here and talk to us. We have 8 million tied up in this collection.
00:29I have the fashion editor for Vogue online right now. One word for me and your interest is poison.
00:49Enough. Vic!
00:51Mia, Japanese indigo. Miranda, call production, emergency protocol 7. Pauline, handle those cultures.
01:07Tell the boss to hold all calls. I need 28 minutes.
01:1128 minutes? The whole system takes 15 to reboot.
01:1527 now. Tick tock.
01:27Crazy wherever you're going. Girl, you got me going.
01:33And then. Crisis averted.
01:39I swear to god, you're not human. 27 minutes.
01:43Holy shit. Pre-orders are flooding in. This will shatter every record.
01:54Vic, are you okay?
01:56Just, Braxton Hicks. Nothing to-
02:04Oh my god, your water broke.
02:12Mom, we're seriously in active labor while saving the entire company?
02:16Multitasking is my superpower pumpkin.
02:18Dad 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.
02:34That's my girl.
02:44Well, the company's yours now, Holly, but there's a condition.
02:50We need to slash costs.
02:52Immediately.
02:54Layoffs.
02:58Absent without leave.
03:00Oh, Dad, I know exactly where to start our cuts.
03:04Well, just remember, whoever cleaned up that Milan disaster, they get immunity.
03:10In fact, um, they deserve a promotion.
03:18No way this Victoria Wintour saved the company since she's not even there.
03:22Boss, the Milan collection crisis? Averted. Pre-orders are pouring in.
03:30You, you saved the entire collection? Impressive.
03:34Oh, actually.
03:36How about I make you the new creative director? Starting today.
03:42Oh my god, is this really happening?
03:44She's offering me Victoria's job?
03:46I can finally get rid of that bitch hanging over my head?
03:50But, Victoria-
03:54Don't worry about her.
03:56That useless pregoat is now fired.
04:04You know that collection I just rescued, Em?
04:06I hid something in the design.
04:08Your initials and now little graces.
04:12Hold them right into the fabric.
04:14And that's gonna be a Milan runway?
04:20Plus, the bonus from this collection is substantial.
04:24Enough for your full tuition of private school.
04:26Mom, you don't have to.
04:28You're going to that private school.
04:30No discussion.
04:32Your sister and I will manage just fine.
04:34This job will keep us afloat.
04:36I love you, Mom.
04:38Holy shit, Holly actually thought I was the one who saved the company?
04:54After all these years in your shadow, Victoria, I'm finally taking what I deserve.
05:02Look, I'm gonna fire every single one of them.
05:18What the hell?
05:26Listen up, everyone.
05:28Victoria Wintour is terminated.
05:30Effective immediately.
05:32You can't just do that.
05:34She's in the hospital having her baby.
05:36They're a loss against this.
05:38Vic worked while in labor.
05:42She's the creative backbone of Maison Laveau.
05:44Maternity leave, medical insurance.
05:48These preggles are bleeding us dry.
05:50Everything okay here?
05:56Great timing.
05:58Victoria Wintour, you're fired.
06:00Clear out your desk now.
06:10You're Matthew's daughter, aren't you?
06:12I saved this company three times when your father couldn't make payroll.
06:16Three times.
06:20Well, that's ancient history.
06:24The board wants fresh blood.
06:26And Mia here just saved the entire Milan collection.
06:33What?
06:34I'm the one who...
06:36Mia, you...
06:38Feel that curve?
06:40That's her signature.
06:42That's what makes it Maison Laveau.
06:50How could you?
06:52I taught you everything you know.
07:00I wish things were different, Vic.
07:02You should have thought about your career before getting pregnant.
07:12What happens to my team?
07:14Miranda pulled all-nighters for a month straight working on your father's exclusive collections.
07:20Things got so bad she had to get hair implants.
07:24Pauline had to cancel her own wedding because of a company meeting at the Louvre.
07:28These jobs are their lifelines.
07:30Health insurance, paid maternity leave, basic human dignity!
07:34You can't just throw them away!
07:36Well, actually, legally speaking, we can.
07:40No mandated paid maternity leave.
07:42No real protection.
07:43But hey, that's corporate America for you.
07:46Or, we can shift the math.
07:50You sign.
07:51They stay.
07:52The budget works out.
07:54Think of it as...
07:57Taking one for the team.
08:00Miranda's still drowning in her husband's debts.
08:02And Pauline's sister still needs another surgery.
08:06They can't lose their jobs.
08:12Come on, Vic. You say you care about them.
08:14Prove it.
08:32I...
08:47Mmm.
08:485 grand?
08:51That's my severance package after 15 years, that's what I'm worth to them?
08:54Because that's what I'm worth to them.
09:09Careful.
09:11I got you.
09:17Vincent?
09:19Vincent Chevalier?
09:21Hi.
09:24High school feels like another lifetime, doesn't it?
09:36So.
09:38It's true.
09:40Great Victoria Winter is being shown the door after single-handedly saving Maison Lelot's Milan collection.
09:46How would you feel about not having to answer to single-minded executives anymore?
09:56Someone with your kind of talent shouldn't be treated like this.
10:00What are you getting at exactly?
10:04I'm talking about you and me.
10:08Partners.
10:10Your genius, my money.
10:12No corporate BS.
10:14No one holding me back.
10:20I've got a baby to think about now.
10:22And I have an empty corner office with a view and an attached nursery.
10:26Just saying.
10:30Vincent Chevalier, wow.
10:32I didn't expect to see the head of Joven, our corporate nemesis strolling into the office.
10:40Got your spine here?
10:42Don't mind me, I'm just giving Victoria here a soft landing.
10:50Triple her salary, corner office.
10:54You know, before the vultures at LV or Chanel swooping.
10:58Oh, so you're dumpster diving now.
11:00Rescuing a washed-up single mom with outdated ideas?
11:04Oh, that's an interesting take to have, considering you're wearing Victoria's designs head to toe.
11:10I mean, the jacket, that's Victoria's spring collection, right?
11:16The earrings, that's Victoria's collaboration with Cartier.
11:19If her work is so far beneath you, then maybe you should just strip.
11:25Shit, shit, shit.
11:27What are you talking about? Victoria designed all of this?
