01:50Thestalk, six, seven, one child.
01:55This will shatter every record.
02:03Bec?
02:04Are you okay?
02:07Just practice in Hicks, nothing to do.
02:13Oh my god, your water broke.
02:21Mom, you were seriously in active labor while saving the entire company?
02:26Multitasking is my superpower pumpkin?
02:30Dad called. He wanted to know if we should come, but...
02:34I told him that he lost his visiting privilege since he decided that his assistance man was more comfortable than
02:41ours.
02:42That's my girl.
02:53Well, the company's yours now, Holly.
02:55But there's a condition.
02:59We need to slash costs.
03:01Immediately.
03:03Layoffs?
03:07Nothing without leave.
03:09Oh, Dad, I know exactly where to start our cuts.
03:13Well, just remember, Lura cleaned up that Milan disaster and get immunity.
03:19In fact, um...
03:22They deserve a promotion.
03:26No way this Victoria went or saved the company since she's not even there.
03:34Boss, the Milan collection crisis? A burden. Pre-orders are pouring in.
03:40You saved the entire collection? Impressive.
03:44Oh, Ashley...
03:45How about I make you the new creative director?
03:47Starting today.
03:50Oh my god, is this really happening?
03:53She's offering Victoria's job?
03:56I can finally get rid of that bitch banging over my head?
04:04But Victoria...
04:05Don't worry about her.
04:06You're not useless.
04:07I'm going to set fire.
04:13You know that collection I just rescued, Ab?
04:16I hid something in the design.
04:19Your initials and no little graces.
04:23Who have enlightened the fabric.
04:28And asking him a long run away?
04:32Plus, the bonus from this collection is substantial.
04:34Enough of your full tuition and private school.
04:38Mom, if we have to...
04:40We're going to that private school.
04:42No discussion.
04:44Your sister and I will manage just fine.
04:47This job will keep us apart.
04:49I love you, Mom.
05:00Holy 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.
05:25Look, I'm going to fire every single one of them.
05:35What the hell?
05:37Listen up, everyone.
05:38Victoria Wintour is terminated.
05:41Effective immediately.
05:43You can't just do that.
05:45She's in the hospital having her baby.
05:47They're a loss against this.
05:49Vic worked while in labor.
05:52She's a creative backbone of Maison Nouveau.
05:55Maternity leave, medical insurance, these preggos are bleeding us dry.
06:01Everything okay here?
06:05Great timing.
06:07Victoria Wintour, you're fired.
06:10Clear out your desk now.
06:20You're Matthew's daughter, aren't you?
06:23I saved this company three times when your father could have been here.
06:27Three times.
06:30Well, that's ancient history.
06:33The word was fresh blood.
06:36And I'm eager to save the entire long collection.
06:43What?
06:44I'm the one who...
06:47Me are you.
06:50Feel that curve.
06:52That's her signature.
06:54That's what makes it Maison Nouveau.
07:00How could you?
07:01I taught you everything you know.
07:10I wish things were different, Vic.
07:14I should have thought about your career before getting pregnant.
07:23What happens to my team?
07:25Miranda pulled all of matters for a month straight working on your father's exclusive collections.
07:31Things cost so bad she had to get hair, implants.
07:35Pauline had to cancel her own wedding because of a company meeting at the Louvre.
07:40These jobs and their lifelines, health insurance, paid maternity leave, basic human dignity, you can't just throw them away.
07:48Actually, legally speaking, we can.
07:50No mandated paid maternity leave, no real protection today.
07:54That's corporate America for you.
07:57Or we can shift the math.
08:00You sign, they stay, the budget works out.
08:05Think of it as taking one for the team.
08:10Miranda's still drowning in her husband's deaths.
08:13Aunt Pauline's sister still needs another surgery.
08:16They can't lose their jobs.
08:22Come on, Vic, because they care about them.
08:25Prove it.
08:28I'm sorry.
08:31No.
08:44How are you?
08:45Mm-hmm.
08:46No.
08:51I'm sorry.
08:54Don't leave me there.
08:54You're even there.
08:54I'm sorry.
09:02That's my severance package after 15 years, that's what I'm worth to-
09:19Be careful. I got you.
09:28Vincent? Vincent Chevalier?
09:32Hi. High school feels like another lifetime, doesn't it?
09:47So, it's true.
09:51Great Victoria Winter is being shown the door after single-handedly saving what you saw in the Lois Mulan collection.
10:00How do you feel about not having to answer single-minded executives anymore?
10:07Someone with your kind of talent shouldn't be treated like this.
10:12What are you getting at exactly?
10:15I'm talking about you and me.
10:19Partners.
10:19Your genius, my money.
10:24No corporate BS.
10:26No one holding you back.
10:32I found a baby to think about now.
10:35And I have an empty corner office with a view and an attached nursery.
10:41Just saying.
10:46Vincent Chevalier, wow.
10:48Who didn't expect to see the head of Chauvin and our corporate nemesis thrown into the office?
10:53You got your spine here?
10:57Don't mind me, I'm just giving Victoria here.
11:00Soft landing.
11:02Triple her salary.
11:04Corner office.
11:06You know.
11:07Before the vultures at LB or Chanel swooping.
11:10So you're dumpster diving now?
11:12Rescuing a washed up single mom with outdated ideas?
11:16It's an interesting take to have considering you wearing Victoria's designs head to toe.
11:22I mean the jacket, it's Victoria's spring collection, right?
11:27The earrings, it's Victoria's collaboration with Cartier.
11:30If her work is so far beneath you, then maybe you should just strip.
11:37Shit, shit, shit.
11:39What are you talking about?
11:40Victoria designed all of this?
11:48Actually, those were my designs.
11:53What did you just say?
11:55The spring collection.
11:57The Cartier pieces.
11:59I designed them.
12:00Under your supervision, of course, but they came from me.
12:04Oops, looks like you've been backing wrong horse, Vincent.
12:08I thought you were better than this, Mia.
12:12Let's explain my signature.
12:14On the original sketch dated six months ago.
12:22So what, sketches get past her all the time.
12:24It doesn't really squat.
12:26Maybe she was in the middle of...
12:28What do they call it?
12:29Breast designer?
12:31On the logo?
12:34The EW, woven in.
12:37Victoria's signature mark.
12:39It's been on every major piece she's designed for years.
12:42Mommy, explain it.
12:43Maybe shut up.
12:48It's funny.
12:49All those pieces from the Milan collection that everyone's losing at her.
12:54They all have EW and GW so good too.
12:58Victoria's daughter is Emily Winter.
13:01Her newborn is Grace Winter.
13:05It'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?
13:13Well Mia, tell them.
13:15Tell them you designed this.
13:17Tell them you saved Milan.
13:19The logo, it's...
13:22It's adapted based on traditional motifs.
13:27You lying little bitch!
13:29Black Promotions are saving the company.
13:36Look at the logo again.
13:37It's not EW or GW.
13:41It's actually two M's.
13:44M.M.
13:45For McMichael, my last name.
13:50See?
13:51One M flipped.
13:53One upright.
13:54It's not for Grace or Emily.
13:58It's mine.
13:59That is absolutely ridiculous.
14:03Oh my god, she's right.
14:04It does look more like two M's.
14:08You manipulate me.
14:09She really thought you could steal the credit from my star designer.
14:14You learned well, Mia.
14:17Maybe too long.
14:18You'll regret this.
14:22Come on, let's see.
14:23We don't have to see today at home.
14:26Okay.
14:27Let me drive you home, okay?
14:29But for hours outside.
14:31If I got this, you shouldn't be carrying anywhere to go.
14:35Through.
14:39Congratulations on your promotion, Mia.
14:42Just take care of my honor of Holly, will you?
14:47That's right.
14:48Get the hell out of my company.
14:50Go lead your 401k somewhere else.
15:02Go lead your 401k somewhere else.
15:05I don't know.
15:07I don't know.
15:07I didn't even find it.
15:08Lightning.
15:17Every pregnant woman fired.
15:20All of us.
15:21Just like that.
15:23What?
15:23No severance.
15:25No warning.
15:26Nothing.
15:26But a box and a security escort.
15:34Finally purge the company of those walking liabilities.
15:37Please.
15:38The termination people won't practically pay for your sign.
15:41The bonus might be already a star.
15:43Now.
15:44I'm not going to slash you with me.
15:46The signs are eagerly lighted.
16:01Oh my god, Mom.
16:02This is insane.
16:04I can't believe we're actually here.
16:06Victoria Wintour.
16:08The nuclear dick.
16:09Your mom's basically a legend.
16:11You know that, right?
16:12Yeah.
16:13We've been taking bets on where you'll land after Maison de Vaux.
16:17Their loss is definitely someone else's jackpot.
16:22Wait.
16:23Maison de Vaux?
16:26Well, well.
16:27The Queen Mother Crown embraces us for her presence.
16:30Great with you to show up here.
16:31What's next?
16:32Applying for retail jobs at the mall?
16:37Leaving so soon?
16:38You haven't introduced me to your princess.
16:41Is Mom a dearest girl to reveal her little career update
16:44about getting canned for not cutting it anymore?
16:49Mom, is that true?
16:54Don't worry.
16:55She'll explain once she figures out how to keep paying her tuition bills.
16:59Ladies and gentlemen, Victoria Wintour.
17:01Still pretending she matters.
17:07My mom is one of the most talented designers in this entire room.
17:11If Miss Honeywell was putting people like you in charge of the business,
17:15then maybe she deserves to crush and burn.
17:18Well, look at that.
17:19It seems entitlement runs with the family.
17:21Say whatever you want about me, but leave my daughter out of it.
17:25That's kind of sting, huh?
17:27Exposed as unemployed in front of your kid who worships you like some kind of hero?
17:32But hey, good news.
17:34There's a factory down the street that's always looking for hardworking children.
17:38If paying the bills is getting tough, maybe send her over there.
17:42That's enough.
17:48You've always been a fraud, Victoria.
17:50You never belonged in this world.
17:53Look at her.
17:54A jobless single mom still pretending she can afford couture.
17:58That dress.
18:00It's a cheap knockoff.
18:04Wearing fakes to Paris Fashion Week is not just pathetic.
18:07It's insulting to everyone here who actually deserves to be here.
18:14What the hell do you think you're doing?
18:17Remove that dress.
18:19We don't tolerate counterfeits in this industry.
18:23Hey, stop it! Let go one more!
18:26Now let's see what garbage is really hiding under that dress.
18:30Take your hands off her now.
18:40You're dismissed.
18:41You're dismissed.
18:50You alright?
18:54You alright?
18:55Jesus Christ, that's Vincent Chamellier.
18:58Hey!
18:59The reclusive leaner who never shows up anywhere?
19:02What the hell is he doing with the Torium?
19:06That knockoff?
19:08That you're so near to trash her for?
19:12It's Chauvenne.
19:13Bout Couture.
19:14Winter Collection.
19:16Not even released yet.
19:19Price tag?
19:20300,000.
19:22Wow!
19:23You gave her that.
19:25That's right.
19:26I did.
19:29I would give her the entire damn collection if she wanted it.
19:33Oh my god, everyone mystery solved.
19:35Victoria's backed herself a sugar daddy!
19:39Mr. Billionaire's not a white knight.
19:41He's from Hawking Trust Fund.
19:45Victoria's sleeping her way to the top.
19:47It's just so predictably desperate.
19:53You really don't understand real talent, do you?
19:58For those of you who don't know me, I'm Vincent Chamellier.
20:03CEO of Chamellier.
20:06Yes.
20:08I have been in love with Victoria Winter since high school.
20:12I have followed your career from a distance for years.
20:16Your brilliance.
20:18Your principles.
20:19Your passion.
20:22Victoria, there is no one else like you in this entire industry.
20:25Mom, did you know about this?
20:28I'm not going to pursue anything until she's ready.
20:32But in the meantime, what I will do
20:35is ensure that her incredible talent has the platform that it deserves.
20:39She won't let you down, boss.
20:44You're making a complete ass of yourself, Chamellier.
20:47She's nothing but a has-been.
20:49The show's about to start.
20:51Your seats are waiting.
20:58Holy shit.
21:00The industry gold boy and the creative powerhouse together?
21:03Talk about a power couple.
21:05They can own the entire industry.
21:08This isn't over, bitch.
21:10Wait till you see what I've prepared for you.
21:21So you seriously been in love with my mom since high school?
21:28Some talents.
21:30You recognize me.
21:33Some people do.
21:39Ladies and gentlemen, before we kick off tonight's show,
21:42I have an important announcement.
21:44This woman is nothing but a fraud and a thief.
21:46She's been stealing designs from my creative director for years.
21:52It's true.
21:53She took my work and passed it off as her own.
21:56I slaved away on those designs.
21:59Day and night.
22:02And Victoria had the nerve to pass them off as her own.
22:09That's just the tip of the iceberg, isn't it, Victoria?
22:12Your entire career is based on lines of manipulation.
22:16That's enough, Holly.
22:19Everyone thinks you're this creative genius, but I know what you really are.
22:23Your personal life is just as fake as the so-called talent.
22:28Did you know she slept with half the executives in the industry?
22:32That's her real design strategy.
22:34Stop it, Holly. You're embarrassing yourself.
22:37And those kids she's so proud of, who knows who their real fathers are.
22:42How dare you!
22:46Ms. Jenkins, listen, Michael.
22:49It's a disaster in there.
22:50There's something wrong with the collection.
22:52It's the fabric.
22:54Not now.
22:59The primary fabrics are disintegrating into the lights.
23:03The dresses are literally falling apart.
23:06We've only got 50 vets lost until showtime.
23:09Is this some kind of sick joke with them all?
23:11Are you canceling the show because you're incompetent?
23:14This is completely unprofessional.
23:16I have 10 million invested in this collection.
23:20This is breach of contract!
23:24It's actually fixable.
23:27Ugh.
23:28You can't seriously be thinking about helping with backstabbing vultures.
23:33Breaking news from Paris Fashion Week.
23:36Mason Villefort appears to be imploding underneath new leadership.
23:39Sources say the entire collection need to cancel minutes before showtime.
23:43The question on everyone's mind?
23:45Is this the end for the once prestigious fashioners?
23:52This show doesn't happen?
23:54You're personally liable for the Breach Counties.
23:57We're talking buildings, aren't you?
23:59Buildings.
24:00Buildings.
24:07Buildings.
24:08Building.
24:08Buildings.
24:12Buildings.
24:13Buildings.
24:16Buildings.
24:16Buildings.
24:24Now!
24:26How?
24:27The fiber supplier must have sent us effective materials.
24:30The fiber supplier must have sent us effective materials!
24:30I can't magically make you dress in an hour.
24:34You have exactly 30 minutes to make this work.
24:38If you don't, those breach penalties are coming out of your pocket.
24:43That's billions of dollars.
24:45Then you better figure something out.
24:47Because if you don't, I'm really fired.
24:50I'll make sure you never work in fashion again.
25:02Miss Winter, how do you respond to accusations over design theft?
25:08Is there any truth to Holly Jenkins' claims about your personal life?
25:11Please respect Miss Winter's privacy.
25:15And for the record, you'll all soon see who the real thief is.
25:19We're gathering evidence as we speak.
25:32Excuse me.
25:34Excuse me.
25:36It's okay.
25:37Don't be right.
25:44What do you want, Mia?
25:50Vic, I really need your help.
25:52Funny way to ask for a favor after that stunt you just pulled.
25:57Look, I know you're furious.
25:59Yes, I would be too.
26:01But think about Miranda and Pauline for a second.
26:04What about them?
26:05Their jobs are on the line with this show.
26:08If we tank, they're done.
26:10Holly will fire them without a second thought.
26:13Please, if you care about them keeping their jobs, just pull this out with you.
26:19Miranda and Holly are responsible for this show.
26:21Yes, absolutely.
26:23And they're counting on this being a hit.
26:26Please, Vic, not for me.
26:28For that.
26:29That's weird.
26:30I would have expected them to be here in Paris, you know, for such a make or break show.
26:35What exactly happened to them, Mia?
26:40They, they couldn't make it.
26:43Holly cut the travel budget.
26:45Is that right?
26:47Victoria, I know I don't deserve your help.
26:52They do.
26:54Fine.
26:57I'll help.
26:58But I'm doing this to Miranda and Pauline.
27:01Not for you.
27:13Oh my god.
27:14It's Victoria Winter.
27:16A nuclear veck.
27:17I need scissors, thread, and fresh lining fabric.
27:20Now.
27:27I need royal fuchsia for this stitching.
27:29Regular fuchsia won't work with this fabric.
27:32Does anyone have royal fuchsia thread?
27:37Do you miss work?
27:44Vincent.
27:46How did you?
27:48I figured you might need some supplies.
27:50So, I had my assistant bring over Joven's emergency kit.
27:56This is perfect, but Joven and Maison Navo are competitors, why would you help them?
28:03I'm not helping them.
28:06I'm helping you.
28:09I can't ask you to do this without giving me something in return.
28:12I have a design I've been saving.
28:14Something special I've never shown anyone.
28:17It's yours now.
28:19I don't want your design, Victoria.
28:23Then what do you want?
28:26You.
28:28What?
28:32You're a talent.
28:34You're a vision.
28:36Come and work as Joven.
28:39I'm in.
28:40I'll work for you.
28:42Just like that?
28:44Just like that.
28:45Now, let me finish my final job for Maison Navo.
28:59Just like the new one's cool.
29:01I'm ready.
29:02So I'ma get, I'ma get, I'ma get, I'ma get.
29:05I'ma get.
29:05I won't be bad.
29:08Don't make it change.
29:11I'm gonna be proud of my name.
29:16She's doing a nip.
29:18What would've taken us hours?
29:20Whoa.
29:21No wonder they call it a nuclear vick.
29:23It's so fucked up watching her fix my disaster like it's nothing.
29:27The woman I replaced making me look like an amateur.
29:35Five minutes to show time.
29:37We made it.
29:38We made it.
29:40We made it.
29:43We made it.
29:44We made it.
29:49We made it.
29:50We made it.
29:51Well?
29:52Do we pull the plug or not?
29:54We're good.
29:54Everything's back on track.
29:56See?
29:58I knew firing Victoria was the right call.
30:00You got twice your talent.
30:03Yeah.
30:04Right.
30:05This is exactly why I promoted you.
30:07You fix that she's not making.
30:17To Victoria.
30:19The real hero of the night.
30:31Mom, you're insane.
30:33I can't believe you actually fixed that disaster in under an hour.
30:37Couldn't have done it without you.
30:40You know, if you start dating before you work together, it doesn't help as an office romance.
30:50Well, well.
30:51Still hanging around.
30:52I think you too embarrassed to show your face at the after party.
30:56Fraud.
30:58Holly, why don't you ask the models what happened backstage tonight?
31:02What are you talking about?
31:03Just ask the models.
31:05Any of them.
31:08Oh, and Mia.
31:09Don't forget about our agreement.
31:12About Miranda and Pauline.
31:13All right.
31:14Cool.
31:19Two new beginnings such as Ben.
31:28Speaking of new beginnings.
31:31Emily's private school application is due next month, right?
31:35I want to help.
31:37With their education.
31:38What?
31:40This and that.
31:41That's too much.
31:42We barely know each other.
31:45Victoria, I've known you since we were 17.
31:49I remember watching you win that regional competition.
31:54In that silver dress.
31:56The one you made from scratch.
31:58I saw the way your eyes lit up when we talked about changing the fashion world.
32:05Do you remember that?
32:07I remember everything.
32:11I have followed your career all these years just hoping that our paths would cross again.
32:18Why didn't you ever reach out?
32:20We were married.
32:23And then worse.
32:24Without you building your career.
32:28Timing is.
32:29Is that right?
32:32Until now.
32:42I have been away 20 years to do this.
32:58I should probably get this.
33:10Mia?
33:14God, I was so right about firing Victoria.
33:17That Milan disaster you turned around.
33:19Absolute magic.
33:20And now I have an opportunity to put you on the map for good.
33:25Sean Gosling needs a tuxedo for the Oscars red carpet.
33:31Sean Gosling?
33:32The Sean Gosling?
33:34The very one.
33:35Three time Oscar winner.
33:36People's Sexiest Man Alive.
33:38And if you play our cards right.
33:40The next place needs only goes anywhere.
33:43They're taking pitches now.
33:45If he picks yours.
33:47This changes everything.
33:48For you.
33:49For the brand.
33:50For the brand.
33:51Where it is.
33:51She lands in the brand too.
33:53You land this.
33:55Vincent is where Victoria are done.
34:01Seal the deal.
34:02I'll bump your pay by 20%.
34:05I've got this Holly.
34:06You won't regret it.
34:14God, what am I going to do?
34:16I can't design menswear.
34:18I barely pulled off the woman's with Victoria's help.
34:21Lorraine and Felina are going too.
34:23I'm completely on my own.
34:26If Holly bought that I saved Milan and fixed Paris when it was all Victoria,
34:33maybe I can squeeze one more miracle over.
34:58Thanks for meeting me.
34:59I know things are complicated between us.
35:01You mentioned Miranda and Pauline.
35:03Cut to the chase.
35:08We're pitching for Sean's Oscar tax.
35:11Miranda and Pauline are also in the team.
35:12Miranda's excellent with menswear.
35:14She can handle this without me.
35:15Please, wait.
35:16There's more to it.
35:17After Paris, Holly needs someone to blame for the Fabric disaster.
35:21Miranda and Pauline are on the chopping block.
35:24I've been fighting for them.
35:26Are you serious?
35:27Pauline's due any day now.
35:29Trust me, I know.
35:30This project is our only shot.
35:32If we land it, I can convince Holly to keep them healthy.
35:36Have you worked with Sean before?
35:38No, but I've heard you have.
35:40Ages ago.
35:42I did a jacket frame for the Med Gala.
35:45Actually, I was sketching a new tuxedo concept right before I left my son at all.
35:49Really?
35:50What concept?
35:56Well...
36:09Perfect.
36:10She's handing everything over without even realizing.
36:13I'll use her design to save my ass and land this project.
36:17Do you still have any of the sketches somewhere?
36:21I do.
36:23Actually, I...
36:24I took them with me when I left myself in the boat.
36:28Wait.
36:29Miranda went on maternity leave last week.
36:32How exactly is she part of this project?
36:34Well, since she's the best menswear designer we have, Holly's letting her work from home.
36:40Is the company covering her health insurance?
36:43Of course, Vic.
36:46Pauline and Miranda's jobs are on the line here.
36:51Who is my dad?
36:53Take all the time you need.
36:56Mia, don't make me regret trusting you.
36:59Again.
37:18Pumpkin, I need a quick favor.
37:20Remember that tuxedo sketch I was working on before everything went sideways?
37:24The Sean Gosling one with the black sides and lapels?
37:27That's the one.
37:28Can you check my home office?
37:30It should be in the portfolio marked mens formal 2025.
37:34Got it.
37:36Grace is napping.
37:37The perfect timing.
37:38Thanks, sweetie.
37:39I just need to double check something about that.
37:45Shoulder distraction.
37:48Mom, are you okay?
37:54Miranda?
37:55Vic?
38:00Mom!
38:01Mom!
38:01What's going on?
38:04Emilia, I'll call you right back.
38:07Miranda, what happened?
38:09Why the hell are you scrubbing toilets?
38:11Bills don't be in this house.
38:14You met my husband.
38:15Old child with no paycheck.
38:17And now there's a newborn at home.
38:19Mia said you were on maternity leave working remotely on the Carlson project.
38:24What?
38:25What?
38:25Is that the story she's spinning now?
38:29After you left, she fired every pregnant woman in the company.
38:34No severance, no copper, nothing.
38:36Just gone.
38:38That's completely illegal.
38:41Company lawyers said that we all suddenly violated some very performance clause.
38:45All at once.
38:47All at once.
38:47What are the odds, right?
38:49And Polly, parking night shifts at 24 hours down here.
38:54Her sister, Beckelbilsky, piling up.
39:03And Mia knew about all this.
39:05Mia, front row seat when Hal made an announcement.
39:10Didn't even blink.
39:12To Beckelbils admiring her shiny new creative director title.
39:17She's been using you and Polly to manipulate me.
39:20Telling me her job depended on me helping her.
39:23What?
39:25That bitch!
39:28This ends now.
39:35Damn it!
39:41Mrs. Beckel.
39:42This is right from Milan.
39:44We need approval by being prepared.
39:46Can't you see I'm working on something important?
39:58What are you all looking at?
40:00Get back to work.
40:02Victoria never shoots.
40:05I heard that.
40:07You think Victoria is so perfect?
40:10Then where is she now?
40:11Gone.
40:12Now I'm in charge.
40:13And if anyone has a problem with that, there's the door.
40:24What the hell is going on here?
40:26Just a great disagreement.
40:29Everything is in control.
40:30The gossip page.
40:31Tell me it was something presentable.
40:37Of course, I'm just finalizing some details.
40:39Show me.
40:41It's not quite ready.
40:42Now.
40:48This is garbage.
40:51Absolute garbage.
40:53I just need a little more time.
40:55I don't have more time.
40:56This is Sean Gosling we're talking about.
40:58If she then gets this deal instead of us.
41:04What's that?
41:10It's just some inspiration I recorded for the design.
41:15I don't care if you have to sell your soul to the devil.
41:18Get me when you design it tomorrow morning.
41:21Or pack up your desk by lunch.
41:46I still can't believe I'm using this as leverage.
41:54Right on cue.
41:58Meet that sketch ASAP.
42:01Miranda and Pauline's futures depend on it.
42:05The absolute nerve of this woman.
42:09She'll get her sketch.
42:11And that's the one who's been in the trial.
42:24You're early.
42:26Vic, I really need that sketch.
42:36I said I'd help.
42:38Not hand over my design.
42:40Polly's all over me about this.
42:42If I don't have something tonight,
42:44Miranda and Pauline are toast.
42:47Still lying, Mia.
42:49You'd never learn.
42:50Guess it's payback time.
42:52So.
42:53Do you want my help or not?
42:55I can walk you through it.
42:56Your design could be just as good.
42:58She's such a snake.
43:02Vic, my stomach is killing me.
43:04Can you run to the pharmacy and get something, please?
43:08Fine.
43:08Don't touch anything.
43:19Don't touch anything.
43:36I'm sorry.
43:37I survived all the fails.
43:51You just let her take your work?
43:53She walked out with exactly what I wanted her to have.
43:58You know, boss, we could pitch ourselves.
44:01Go after the same clients.
44:04Show them what real design looks like.
44:07We're not out yet.
44:20Heard there's a revolution rope.
44:27I figure you can use all the backup you can get.
44:32You're welcome, Mom.
44:37I want you and your team as your men.
44:42Full creative control.
44:45On Miranda, your husband's debt.
44:47Handled.
44:49And every casino in the country has been told he's not welcome.
44:53Mr. Shelley, I...
44:55On Pauline, your sister is in good hands.
44:59The best heart surgeon in the country.
45:02Is already prepping for her next surgery.
45:05Mr. Chevalier!
45:07Thank you!
45:08Don't thank me.
45:09Thank Victoria.
45:11I'm just looking out for the people she believes in.
45:15Vincent, I...
45:17I don't even know what to say.
45:19It's about time you all get what you deserve.
45:25No.
45:40No, no.
46:29And you're still here.
46:31Final tweaks, the pitch goes out tomorrow.
46:38You've got Grace to sleep.
46:42Yeah.
46:44And Emily's almost finished with her algebra.
46:49Maybe new beginnings aren't so scary after all.
46:57Remember semi-perfectoid history?
47:03Maison Laveau sets the bar.
47:06We don't follow trends.
47:08We create them.
47:14Satin black lapels.
47:16Nod to Mr. Sean Gossling's Metcalfe moment.
47:19A blend of tradition and boldness.
47:23I think we can all agree Maison Laveau is back on top.
47:32What is that bitch doing here?
47:38Thank you, Mr. Jenkins, for clearing out your best talent.
47:42My company is thriving because of your generosity.
47:48Didn't expect to see you here.
47:50Thought you'd be all tied up with PTA meetings and diaper changes.
47:56I multitask.
47:58Unlike some, I don't need to fire half my staff to feel competent.
48:02You know, Holly, your fresh blood strategy's working wonders.
48:07The office is so empty with echoes.
48:10And the only thing growing at Maison Laveau is the legal risk.
48:15Pregnant woman talk, you know.
48:17Three excellent leads and one CEO.
48:20But the next, the big sale?
48:23Laugh all you want, Holly.
48:24You're about to see what real T-Mart looks like.
48:27And what real loyalty looks like.
48:42Sean, I'm glad you could make it.
48:44We have something very special to show you.
48:49Pick.
48:53I thought you just had a beautiful baby girl.
48:56You never know.
48:57Congratulations.
48:58Thank you, Sean.
48:59It's good to see you.
49:02Let's begin the pitches.
49:05You ready to lose?
49:06You're out of your league.
49:08You should know by now, I don't play by your rules.
49:18First up, me and McMichael.
49:20Maison Laveau.
49:39Next, Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.
49:41Next, Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.
49:50Be good to work.
49:52Both, please.
49:57We'll need a few minutes to discuss.
50:03After careful consideration,
50:05we're rewarding project two.
50:10Maison Laveau.
50:12Yes!
50:13Oh my god!
50:14Of course.
50:16This is all you planned all along.
50:18Wasn't it?
50:28What the hell did you people put me in?
50:31Are you trying to kill me?
50:33Mr. Dawson has a serious allergy
50:35to synthetic silk. Who designed this tuxedo?
50:37Did you even read the brief?
50:41I mean...
50:43You must have read the brief. It's not complicated.
50:46It says...
50:47No synthetic blends!
50:49I mean...
50:50Must be some endlessly. Perhaps Mia overlooked something.
50:54A mistake?
50:55I could have ended up in the emergency room.
50:59Victoria...
51:00Please...
51:01Tell these amateurs...
51:02Bible dress.
51:10I pulled my design because the only fabric left was synthetic.
51:14I'd never risk Mr. Gossig's health for a deadline.
51:18And that's why Victoria's the best.
51:20Which actually pays attention.
51:22After reviewing all the entries,
51:23the committee has reached a decision.
51:26The commission goes to...
51:28Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.
51:30Victoria.
51:32Mr. Goblin was just a slip-up!
51:35Mia's designed as the front runner all along!
51:38That's why they picked her first!
51:43Maybe everyone should see this.
51:50Wait, Mia! Did you actually steal Victoria's design?
51:57Not to me low! Even for you!
52:04Nathan Laveau will be hearing from my liars.
52:08And so you know...
52:09I will be supporting Victoria's case for this like that.
52:15We thought Laveau's reputation is toast.
52:18We're suspending all collaborations.
52:30Don't even think about trying to land anywhere else.
52:33You're blacklisted.
52:40Victoria, please!
52:49Victoria, please!
52:52I'll do anything!
52:53Please just help me save the company
52:55the brand you've built for 50 years!
52:58You made your choices, Holly.
53:00Now you live with them.
53:04Why didn't you go too far?
53:11Sean Gossig's look tonight is a game changer
53:14crafted by the trailblazing team of Jomen.
53:16Social media is already calling it
53:18The Winter Revolution.
53:27To the best comeback in fashion history
53:30and to the women who made it happen.
53:33And to the maternity leave that actually means something.
53:39Mom, you might want to see this.
53:52Happy birthday, Victoria.
53:56Happy birthday to you!
54:02Nice. Look!
54:06Maison Laveau on the brink?
54:08The scandal pushes fashion giant towards bankruptcy.
54:12Ouch!
54:13I guess karma has a sense of humor.
54:16It's strange, isn't it?
54:21I gave them everything.
54:23Late nights, weekends, all the best years
54:27and they tossed us aside like we were nothing.
54:30Now it's all crashing down, I thought I'd feel vindicated.
54:34But honestly, it's a weird mix.
54:38Relief, sure, but also a little bit of grief.
54:41Look, who said that our best years are behind us?
54:45Look at this!
54:48Jomen pushes for paid leave and parental support across all industries.
54:54Victoria, this is you!
54:56You did this!
54:58Here's to a future where women don't have to choose between our families and their careers.
55:04Not just for us, but for every woman who comes after.
55:08Careful, Vincent.
55:10And what's about the best part?
55:18I...
55:24Victoria Winter...
55:28Will you marry me?
55:33Yes!
55:34A thousand times yes!
55:36Wooo!
55:40Wooo!
55:40Take my heart with hope for your hands.
55:45I've spent all my days just trying to feel well.
55:53Give me love and listen.
55:56Never!
55:57Yeah.
55:58Okay.
56:14I thought you'd want to see me leave this.
56:18I came because I wanted to hear it from you.
56:21When word got out you left.
56:23Clients bailed.
56:25The board freed.
56:27Numbers naked.
56:28I couldn't stop it.
56:31You.
56:32You.
56:32Steward mace on the bow into this storm, Holly.
56:38I know.
56:39I know.
56:41My father.
56:44The stress gave him a heart attack.
56:46He won't even speak to me anymore.
56:48I destroyed everything.
56:51My thoughts slashing costs and save us.
56:55But instead I gutted the company.
56:58I didn't mean to pretend like this.
57:01I mean, don't know if I was in debt.
57:03I bought it.
57:04Last week.
57:06The brand.
57:08The archives.
57:09Even the debt.
57:11It's part of your van now.
57:13And why?
57:14Why would you do that?
57:16To make sure that no more women.
57:18Have to suffer because of policies like yours.
57:23You and Victoria.
57:26To help you do better than I did.
57:29I'll do it differently.
57:32Goodbye, Holly.
57:49Miss Winter.
57:50I just...
57:52I wanted to thank you.
57:54Because of your campaign.
57:56My company gave me maternity leave.
57:59I can keep working and...
58:02Have my baby.
58:04You changed everything.
58:05Everything.
58:07Congratulations.
58:09Wishing you and your little one every happiness.
58:20Ready?
58:25Always.
58:36And now.
58:38Joran's new collection.
58:40Designed by Victoria Ventura and Mercy.
58:44We can't belong.
58:47Every last minute on earth.
