00:24If productions start with these butt-shed designs,
00:26we're all dead!
00:28Not just fired, but his head.
00:30Company Colossus, our careers are over.
00:33Come out here and talk to us.
00:35We have eight million tied up in this collection.
00:38I have a fashion editor, people.
00:40Come on, right now.
00:41One word for me, you're injured some poison.
00:43Enough.
00:58Vic!
01:00Mia, Japanese indigo.
01:04Miranda, call production, emergency protocol seven.
01:08Pauline, handle those vultures.
01:13Tell the boss to hold all calls any 28 minutes.
01:1928 minutes? The whole system takes 15 to reboot.
01:2327 now.
01:25Tick tock.
01:43I'm done. Crisis averted.
01:48I swear to god, you're not human.
01:5127 minutes.
01:52Holy shit.
01:53Pre-orders are flooding in.
01:55This will shatter every record.
02:03Vic, are you okay?
02:05Just practices and hacks, nothing to-
02:13Oh my god, your water broke.
02:21Mom, you were seriously in active labor while saving the entire company?
02:25Multitasking is my superpower pumpkin.
02:27Dad called.
02:28He 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.
02:43Well, the company's yours now, Holly. But there's a condition. We need to slash costs immediately.
02:59Layoffs?
03:00That's it without leave. Oh, Dad, I know exactly where to start our cuts.
03:14Well, just remember, whoever cleaned up that Milan disaster, they get immunity.
03:19In fact, um, they deserve a promotion.
03:27No way this Victoria Wintour saved the company since she's not even there.
03:35Boss, the Milan collection crisis? Averted. Pre-orders are pouring in.
03:40You, you saved the entire collection? Impressive.
03:43Oh, actually, how about I make you the new creative director, starting today?
03:51Oh my god, is this really happening?
03:53She's offering me Victoria's job?
03:56I can finally get rid of that bitch hanging over my head?
04:04But, Victoria-
04:05Don't worry about her. I'm not useless.
04:07We're going to smack fire.
04:13You know that collection I just rescued, Em?
04:17I hid something in the design.
04:20Your initials and now little graces.
04:23I'll have them right into the fabric.
04:29And that's going to give them a long runway?
04:32Plus, 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.
04:47His job will keep us afloat.
04:49I love you, Mom.
05:01Holy shit, Holly actually thought I was the one who saved the company?
05:04After all these years in your shadow, Victoria, I'm finally taking what I deserve.
05:10Look, I'm going to fire every single one of them.
05:15What the hell?

09:05That's what I'm worth to them.
09:19Careful.
09:22I got you.
09:28Vincent?
09:30Vincent Chevalier?
09:32Hi.
09:36High school feels like another lifetime, doesn't it?
09:48So, it's true.
09:51Great Victoria Winter is being shown the door after single-handedly saving Maison LeBeau's Milan collection.
09:57How would you feel about not having to answer to single-minded executives anymore?
10:07Someone 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.
10:19Partners.
10:21Your genius, my money.
10:23No corporate BS.
10:25No one holding you back.
10:33I've got a baby to think about now.
10:35And I have an empty corner office with a view and an attached nursery.
10:39Just saying.
10:45Vincent Chevalier, wow.
10:47I didn't expect to see the head of Joven, our corporate nemesis strolling into the office.
10:53You've got your spine here?
10:55Don't mind me, I'm just giving Victoria here a soft landing.
11:03Triple her salary, corner office.
11:05You know, before the vultures at LB 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.
11:21I mean the jacket, that's Victoria's spring collection, right?
11:27The earrings, that's Victoria's collaboration with Cartier.
11:31If her work is so far beneath you, then maybe you should just strip.
11:37Shit, shit, shit.
11:39What are you talking about?
11:41Victoria designed all of this?
11:49Actually, those were my designs.
11:51What did you just say?
11:55The spring collection.
11:57The Cartier pieces.
11:59I designed them.
12:01Under your supervision of course, but they came from me.
12:05Looks like you've been backing the wrong horse, Vincent.
12:09I thought you were better than this, Mia.
12:13Then explain my signature on the original sketch dated six months ago.
12:19So what, sketches get past her and Mel all the time.
12:25It doesn't prove squat.
12:27Maybe she was your little, what do they call it?
12:29The dress designer?
12:31And the logo?
12:33The EW, woven in, Victoria's signature mark.
12:39It's been on every major piece she's designed for years.
12:41Well, Mia, explain it and make me shut up.
12:49It's funny.
12:50All those pieces from the Milan collection that everyone's losing in their life.
12:55They all have EW and GW somewhere too.
12:59Victoria's daughter is Emily Winter.
13:01Her newborn is Grace Winter.
13:03It's just quite a coincidence that those initials should appear in all your designs, Mia.
13:10Is there a special EW and GW in your life too?
13:14Well, Mia, tell them.
13:16Tell them you designed this.
13:18Tell them you saved Milan.
13:20The logo, it's, it's adapted based on traditional motifs.
13:27You lying little bitch.
13:29That promotion was for saving the company.
13:37Look at the logo again.
13:39It's not EW or GW.
13:42It's actually two M's.
13:45M-M for McMichael, my last name.
13:51See?
13:52One M flipped.
13:53One upright.
13:54It's not for Grace or Emily.
13:59It's mine.
14:00That is absolutely ridiculous.
14:04Oh my god, she's right.
14:05It does look more like two M's.
14:09You manipulative bitch.
14:10You really thought you could steal the credit from my star designer.
14:15You learned well, Mia.
14:18Maybe too well.
14:19You'll regret this.
14:23Mark, we don't have to sink to that level.
14:27Okay.
14:28Then let me drive you home, Carrie.
14:30My Ferrari's outside.
14:32I got this.
14:33You shouldn't be carrying it anymore.
14:40Congratulations on your promotion, Mia.
14:43Just take care of Miranda and Polly, will you?
14:49That's right. Get the hell out of my company.
14:51Go lead your 401k somewhere else.
14:54Oh, I'm Victoria.
15:04VIP invitation.
15:05Paris Fashion Week.
15:07Front row.

15:12All of us.
15:13Just like that.
15:14No severance.
15:15No warning.
15:16Nothing.
15:17But a box and a security escort.
15:18Finally purged the company of those walking liabilities.
15:24Their termination people weren't practically paid for your sign and bonus my writing star.
15:31Now, about Paris Fashion Week.

46:38Final tweaks.
46:39The pitch goes out tomorrow.
46:44You've got Grace to sleep.
46:49Yeah.
46:51And Emily's almost finished with her algebra.
46:56Maybe new beginnings aren't so scary after all.
47:06We're about to make history.
47:11Maison Laveau sets the bar.
47:14We don't follow trends.
47:15We create them.
47:22Satin black lapels.
47:24Nod to Mr. Sean Gosling's Met Gala moment.
47:27A blend of tradition and boldness.
47:30I think we can all agree Maison Laveau is back on top.
47:40What is that bitch doing here?
47:42Thank you, Mr. Jenkins, for clearing out your best talent.
47:51My company is thriving because of your generosity.
47:56I didn't expect to see you here.
47:58We thought you'd be all tied up with PTA meetings and diaper changes.
48:02Unlike some, I don't need to fire half my staff to feel competent.
48:09You know, Holly, your fresh-blood strategies work in wonders.
48:15The office is so empty, it echoes.
48:18And the only thing growing at Maison Laveau is the legal risk.
48:23Pregnant woman talk, you know.
48:25Tiny ex-employees on a vinyl CEO.
48:28What's next?
48:29A fake sale?
48:31Laugh all you want, Holly.
48:33You're about to see what real teamwork looks like.
48:36And what real loyalty looks like.
48:38Sean, I'm glad you could make it.
48:54We have something very special to show you.
48:59Vic.
49:03I thought you just had a beautiful baby girl you'd never know.
49:06Congratulations.
49:07Thank you, Sean.
49:09It's good to see you.
49:11Let's begin the pitches.
49:14You ready to lose?
49:16You're out of your league.
49:17You should know by now, I don't play by your rules.
49:28First up, Mia McMichael, Maison Laveau.
49:37Next, Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.
49:51Beautiful work.
50:02Both themes.
50:03We'll need a few minutes to discuss.
50:09After careful consideration, we're awarding Project 2.
50:20Maison Laveau.
50:21Yes!
50:22Oh my God.
50:24Of course.
50:26This is what you planned all along, wasn't it?
50:29What the hell did you people put me in?
50:42Are you trying to kill me?
50:44Mr. Gosling has a serious allergy to synthetic silk.
50:47Who designed this tuxedo?
50:49Did you even read the brief?
50:53I mean, you must have read the brief.
50:56It's not complicated.
50:57It says, no synthetic blends.
51:00I mean, it must be some kind of mistake.
51:03Perhaps Mia overlooked something.
51:05A mistake?
51:06I could have ended up in the emergency room.
51:10Victoria, please, tell these amateurs
51:13while you pulled your last design.
51:24I pulled my design because the only fabric left was synthetic.
51:28I'd never risk Mr. Gosling's health for a deadline.
51:31And that's why Victoria is the best.
51:33She actually pays attention.
51:35After reviewing all the entries, the committee has reached a decision.
51:39The commission goes to Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.
51:46Mr. Gosling, it was just a slip up.
51:48Mia's design was the front runner all along.
51:51That's why they picked her first.
51:56Maybe everyone should see this.
52:01Wait, Mia, did you actually steal Victoria's design?
52:13That's a new low.
52:14Even for you.
52:19Maison Laveau will be hearing from my liars.
52:22And so you know, I will be supporting Victoria's case for design theft.
52:31Maison Laveau's reputation is toast.
52:34We're suspending all collaborations.
52:36Don't even think about trying to land anywhere else.
52:49You're blacklisted.
52:55Victoria, please.
52:56Victoria, please.
53:07Victoria, please.
53:10I'll do anything.
53:11Please just help me save the company, the brand you built for 15 years.
53:16You made your choices, Holly.
53:18Now you live with them.
53:19Why did we went too far?
53:29Sean Gosling's look tonight is a game changer crafted by the trailblazing team at Joven.
53:34Social media is already calling it the Winter Revolution.
53:50To the best comeback in fashion history.
53:53And to the women who made it happen.
53:56And to the maternity leave that actually means something.
54:02Mom.
54:04You might want to see this.
54:05Happy birthday, Victoria.
54:20Happy birthday to you!
54:26Guys, look!
54:29Maison Laveau on the brink?
54:32Scandal pushes fashion giant towards bankruptcy.
54:35Ouch!
54:36I guess karma has a sense of humor.
54:39It's strange, isn't it?
54:48I gave them everything.
54:50Late nights, weekends, all the best years, and they tossed us aside like we were nothing.
54:57Now it's all crashing down.
54:58I thought I'd feel vindicated.
55:01Honestly, it's a weird mix.
55:03Relief, sure, but also a little bit of grief.
55:08Look, who said that our best years are behind us?
55:12Look at this!
55:14Joven pushes for paid leave and parental support across all industries.
55:20Victoria, this is you!
55:22You did this!
55:23Here's to a future where women don't have to choose between their families and their careers.
55:29Not just for us, but for every woman who comes after.
55:33Careful, Vincent. You almost forgot the best part.
55:36Victoria Winter.
55:37Will you marry me?
55:38Victoria Winter.
55:39Will you marry me?
55:41You?
55:42Victoria Winter.
55:43Victoria Winter.
55:44Victoria Winter.
55:46Will you marry me?
55:47Victoria Winter, will you marry me?
56:04Yes!
56:05A thousand times yes!
56:17I've been spending all my days, just trying to have to feel my life.
56:28Best birthday ever!
56:30You came. I thought you'd want to see me like this.
56:48I came because I wanted to hear it from you.
56:52When word got out you left. Clients failed. The board freaked. Numbers tanked. I couldn't stop it.
57:03You steered Maison Laveau into this storm, Holly.
57:06I know. I know.
57:22My father, the stress gave him a heart attack. He won't even speak to me anymore.
57:28I destroyed everything. My thoughts slashing costs would save us, but instead I gutted the company.
57:38I didn't mean for it to end like this.
57:41Maison Laveau isn't dead. I bought it. Last week.
57:47The brand, the archives, even the debt. It's part of Given now.
57:53You bought it? Why would you do that?
57:55To make sure that no more women have to suffer because of policies like yours.
58:04You win, Victoria. I hope you do better than I did.
58:09I'll do it differently.
58:12Goodbye, Holly.
58:25Miss Wintour. I just... I wanted to thank you.
58:39Because of your campaign, my company gave me maternity leave.
58:43I can keep working and have my baby.
58:49You changed everything.
58:52Congratulations.
58:54Wishing you and your little one every happiness.
59:06Ready?
59:07Always.
59:10Always.
59:22And now, Jovan's new collection...
59:24...
59:25...
