00:11Shit! No, no, no, no, no, no, no! The system crashed mid-upload! Half the collection is the wrong season!
00:18We're on everything! No!
00:23Runway is in 48 hours! If productions start with these botched designs, we're all dead! Not just fired, we're dead!
00:32Company collapses, our careers are over!
00:35Come out here and talk to us! We have 8 million tied up in this collection!
00:39I have a fashion editor below, Runway, right now! One word for me, you're in some poison!
00:58Enough! Vic!
01:02Mia, Japanese indigo. Miranda, call production, emergency protocol 7. Pauline, handle those vultures.
01:16Tell the boss to hold all calls. I need 28 minutes.
01:2128 minutes? The whole system takes 15 to reboot.
01:2527 now. Tick-tock.
01:42We're going on!
01:46And done. Crisis averted.
01:49I swear to God you're not human! 27 minutes!
01:54Holy shit! Pre-orders are flooding in. This will shatter every record!
02:04Vic! Are you okay?
02:08Just practice and Hicks, nothing to-
02:14Oh my god, your water broke.
02:22Mom, you were seriously in active labor while saving the entire company?
02:27Multitasking is my superpower, pumpkin?
02:31Dad called. He wanted to know if he should come, but I told him that he lost his visiting privileges
02:38since he decided that his assistance is more comfortable than ours.
02:44That's my girl.
02:54Well, the company's yours now, Holly, but there's a condition.
03:00We need to slash costs immediately.
03:04Layoffs.
03:08Absent without leave.
03:10Oh, Dad, I know exactly where to start our cuts.
03:14Well, just remember, whoever cleaned up that Milan disaster, they get immunity.
03:20In 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.
03:45Oh, actually...
03:46How about I make you the new creative director, starting today?
03:51Oh my god, is this really happening?
03:54She's offering me Victoria's job?
03:57I can finally get rid of that bitch hanging over my head?
04:04No.
04:04But, Victoria...
04:05Don't worry about her.
04:07I'm not useless.
04:07I'm going to smell fire.
04:13You know that collection I just rescued, Em?
04:17I hid something in the design.
04:20Your initials and now little graces.
04:23Hold them right into the fabric.
04:25Okay.
04:29And that's going to give him a long runway?
04:33Plus, the bonus from this collection is substantial.
04:35Enough for your full tuition at private school.
04:39Mom, you may have to.
04:40You're going to that private school.
04:42No discussion.
04:44Your sister and I will manage just fine.
04:47This job will keep us afloat.
04:49I love you, Mom.
05:01Holy shit, Holly actually thought I was the one who saved the company?
05:06After 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.
05:39Victoria Wintour is terminated.
05:41Effective immediately.
05:44You can't just do that.
05:46She's in the hospital having her baby.
05:48They're a loss against this.
05:50Vic worked while in labor.
05:52She's the creative backbone of Maison Laveau.
05:55Maternity leave, medical insurance, these preggos are bleeding us dry.
06:01Everything okay here?
06:05Great timing.
06:07Victoria Wintour, you're fired.
06:11Clear 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.
06:31Well, that's ancient history.
06:34The board wants fresh blood.
06:36And Mia here just saved the entire Milan collection.
06:43What?
06:44I'm the one who...
06:48Mia, you...
06:50Feel that curve?
06:52That's her signature.
06:54That's what makes it Maison Laveau.
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-nighters for a month straight working on your father's exclusive collections.
07:31Things got so bad she had to get hair, implants.
07:35Pauline had to cancel her own wedding because of a company meeting at the Louvre.
07:39These jobs are their lifelines.
07:42Health insurance, paid maternity leave, basic human dignity.
07:45You can't just throw them away.
07:47Well, actually, legally speaking, we can.
07:50No mandated paid maternity leave, no real protection, but hey, that's corporate America for you.
07:57Or we can shift the math.
08:00You sign, they stay, the budget works out.
08:04Well, think 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. You say you care about them.
08:25Prove it.
08:34What?
09:00Five grand.
09:01That's my severance package after 15 years.
09:05That's what I'm worth to them.
09:19Careful.
09:21I got you.
09:28Vincent?
09:28Vincent?
09:29Vincent Chevalier?
09:31Hi.
09:34High 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 Mison LeBeau's Milan collection.
10:00How 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?
10:14I'm talking about you and me.
10:18Partners.
10:20You're...
10:21Genius.
10:22My money.
10:23No corporate BS.
10:26No one holding you back.
10:32I've got a baby to think about now.
10:34I've got a baby to think about now.
10:34And I have an empty corner office with a view and an attached nursery.
10:40Just saying.
10:45Vincent Chevalier, wow.
10:47I didn't expect to see the head of Chauvin, our corporate nemesis strolling into the office.
10:52Got your spy here?
10:56Don't mind me, I'm just giving Victoria your...
10:59Soft landing.
11:01Triple her salary.
11:03Corner office.
11:05You know.
11:06Before 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?
11:16Wow, that's an interesting take to have, considering you wearing Victoria's designs head to toe.
11:22I mean, the jacket, that's Victoria's spring collection, right?
11:26The earrings, that's Victoria's collaboration with Cartier.
11:29If her work is so far beneath you, then maybe you should just...
11:35strip.
11:36Shit, shit, shit.
11:38What are you talking about? Victoria designed all of this?
11:47Actually, those were my designs.
11:52What did you just say?
11:54The spring collection.
11:55The Cartier pieces.
11:57I designed them.
11:59Under your supervision, of course, but they came from me.
12:03Oops.
12:04Looks like you've been backing the wrong horse, Vincent.
12:07I thought you were better than this, Mia.
12:11Then explain my signature on the original sketch dated six months ago.
12:21So what? Sketches get passed around all the time. It doesn't prove squat.
12:25Maybe she was your little... what do they call it?
12:28The dress designer?
12:30And the logo?
12:33The EW, woven in. Victoria's signature mark.
12:37It's been on every major piece she's designed for years.
12:41Mom, Mia, explain it and make me shut up.
12:47It's funny. All those pieces from the Milan collection that everyone's losing it over,
12:52They all have EW and GW so many, too.
12:57Victoria's daughter is Emily Winter. Her newborn is Grace Winter.
13:03It's just quite a coincidence that those initials should appear in all your designs, Mia.
13:08Is there a special EW and GW in your life, too?
13:12Well, Mia, tell them. Tell them you designed this. Tell them you saved Milan.
13:17The logo, it's... it's adapted based on traditional motifs.
13:25You lying little bitch!
13:28That promotion was for saving the company.
13:33Look at the logo again.
13:35It's not EW or GW.
13:39It's actually two Ms.
13:42MM for McMichael, my last name.
13:48See? One M flipped. One upright.
13:52It's not for Grace or Emily.
13:56It's mine.
13:58That is absolutely ridiculous.
14:01Oh my god, she's right. It does look more like two Ms.
14:06You manipulative bitch. You really thought you could steal the credit from my star designer.
14:12You learned well, Mia.
14:15Maybe too well.
14:17You'll regret this.
14:20Come on, please.
14:22We don't have to sink to their level.
14:24Okay.
14:25Then let me drive you home, okay?
14:27My Ferrari is outside.
14:29I got this. You shouldn't be caring anymore.
14:37Congratulations on your promotion, Mia.
14:39Yeah.
14:41Just... take care of Miranda and Polly, will you?
14:46That's right! Get the hell out of my company!
14:48Go leech your 401k somewhere else.
14:56Oh, I'm Victoria.
15:00A VIP invitation. Paris Fashion Week. Front row. I think you'll find it. Enlightening.
15:15No.
15:16Every pregnant woman fired.
15:18All of us.
15:19Just like that.
15:21No severance.
15:23No warning.
15:24Nothing.
15:24But a box and a security escort.
15:27It's true.
15:32Finally purge the company of those walking liabilities.
15:36Their termination paperwork practically paid for your sign and bonus my writing star.
15:41Now, about Paris Fashion Week.
15:43Your designs are eagerly awaited.
15:48You should have kept your legs closed.
15:59Oh my god, mom.
16:00This is insane.
16:02I can't believe we're actually here.
16:04Victoria Winter.
16:05The Nuclear Vic.
16:07Your mom's basically a legend.
16:08You know that, right?
16:11We've been taking bets on where you'll land after Maison Léveau.
16:14Their loss is definitely someone else's jackpot.
16:19Wait.
16:20Maison Léveau?
16:23Well, well.
16:24The Queen without her crown graces us with her presence.
16:27Brave of you to show up here.
16:29What's next?
16:30Applying for retail jobs at the mall?
16:34Leaving so soon?
16:36You haven't introduced me to your princess.
16:39Does Mommy Dearest build you in on her little career update about getting canned for not cutting it anymore?
16:46Wait.
16:47Mom, is that true?
16:48No.
16:51Don't worry.
16:52She'll explain once she figures out how to keep paying your tuition bills.
16:56Ladies and gentlemen, Victoria Winter.
16:59Still pretending she matters.
17:04My mom is one of the most talented designers in this entire room.
17:08If Maison Léveau was putting people like you in charge of the business, then maybe she deserves to crash and
17:14burn.
17:15Well, look at that.
17:16It seems entitlement runs in the family.
17:19Say whatever you want about me, but leave my daughter out of it.
17:22That's gotta sting, huh?
17:24Exposed as unemployed in front of your kid who worships you like some kind of hero.
17:29But hey, good news.
17:31There's a factory down the street that's always looking for hard-working children.
17:35If paying the bills is getting tough, maybe send her over there.
17:39That's enough.
17:43That's enough.
17:45You've always been a fraud, Victoria.
17:47You never belonged in this world.
17:50Look at her.
17:51A jobless single mom still pretending she can afford couture.
17:55That dress?
17:57It's a cheap knockoff.
18:01Wearing fakes to Paris Fashion Week, it's not just pathetic.
18:04It's insulting to everyone here who actually deserves to be here.
18:11What the hell do you think you're doing?
18:13Remove that dress.
18:16We don't tolerate counterfeits in this industry.
18:20Hey, stop it! Let go of my mom!
18:23Now let's see what garbage is really hiding under that dress.
18:27Take your hands off her now.
18:31Vincent.
18:37You're dismissed.
18:46You alright?
18:50You alright?
18:52Jesus Christ, that's Vincent Chevalier.
18:56The reclusive billionaire who never shows up anywhere?
18:59What the hell is he doing with Victoria?
19:02That knockoff?
19:04That you're so eager to trash her for?
19:07It's Chauven.
19:10Haute couture.
19:11Winter collection.
19:13Not even released yet.
19:15Price tag?
19:17300,000.
19:18Wow!
19:20You gave her that.
19:21That's right. You did.
19:25I would give her the entire damn collection if she wanted it.
19:29Oh my god, everyone mystery solved.
19:32Victoria's backed herself a sugar daddy.
19:36Mr. Billionaire's not her white knight, he's her walking trust fund.
19:42Victoria's sleeping her weight at the top.
19:43It's just so predictably desperate.
19:49You really don't understand real talent, do you?
19:54For those of you who don't know me, I'm Vincent Chevalier.
19:59CEO of Joven.
20:02And yes, I have been in love with Victoria Winter since high school.
20:09I've followed your career from a distance for years.
20:12Your brilliance.
20:14Your principles.
20:15Your passion.
20:18Victoria, there is no one else like you in this entire industry.
20:22Mom, did you know about this?
20:25I'm not going to pursue anything until she's ready.
20:28But in the meantime, what I will do
20:31is ensure that her incredible talent has the platform that it deserves.
20:35She won't let you down, boss.
20:40You're making a complete ass of yourself, Chevalier.
20:43She's nothing but a has-been.
20:45The show is about to start.
20:48Your seats are waiting.
20:54Holy shit.
20:56The industry golden boy and the creative powerhouse together?
20:59Talk about a power couple.
21:01They could run the entire industry.
21:04This isn't over, bitch.
21:06Wait till you see what I've prepared for you.
21:17So you seriously been in love with my mom since high school?
21:24Some talents you recognize immediately.
21:29Some people, too.
21:35Ladies and gentlemen, before we kick off tonight's show,
21:38I have an important announcement.
21:40This woman is nothing but a fraud and a thief.
21:43She's been stealing designs from my creative director for years.
21:48It's true.
21:49She took my work and passed it off as her own.
21:52I've slaved away on those designs, day and night.
21:58And Victoria had the nerve to pass them off as her own.
22:05That's just the tip of the iceberg, isn't it, Victoria?
22:08Your entire career is based on lies and manipulation.
22:12That's enough, Holly.
22:15Everyone thinks you're this creative genius, but I know what you really are.
22:19Your personal life is just as fake as the so-called talent.
22:23Did you know she slept with half the executives in the industry?
22:28That's her real design strategy.
22:30Stop it, Holly. You're embarrassing yourself.
22:32And those kids she's so proud of, who knows who their real fathers are.
22:38How dare you!
22:42Miss Jenkins, Miss Michael, it's a disaster in there.
22:46There's something wrong with the collection. It's the fabric.
22:48Not now.
22:54The primary fabrics are disintegrating under the lights.
22:58The dresses are literally falling apart.
23:02We've only got 50 minutes left until showtime.
23:04Is this some kind of sick joke, Maison LeVoe?
23:06Are you canceling the show because of your incompetence?
23:09This is completely unprofessional.
23:12I have 10 million invested in this collection.
23:15This is breach of contract.
23:19It's actually fixable.
23:22Oh, you can't seriously be thinking about helping you backstabbing vultures.
23:29Breaking news from Paris Fashion Week.
23:31Maison LeVoe appears to be imploding underneath new leadership.
23:35Sources say the entire collection may be canceled minutes before showtime.
23:39The question on everyone's mind?
23:40Is this the end for the once prestigious fashion books?
23:47This show doesn't happen.
23:49You're personally liable for the breach penalties.
23:52We're talking billions, Holly.
23:55Billions.
24:01Billions.
24:18Fix this.
24:20Now.
24:21How? The fabric supplier must have sent us defective materials.
24:25I can't magically make new dresses in an hour.
24:29You have exactly 30 minutes to make this work.
24:33If you don't, those breach penalties are coming out of your pocket.
24:37That's billions of dollars.
24:40Then you better figure something out.
24:42Because if you don't, not only are you fired, I'll make sure you never work in fashion again.
24:57Miss Winter, how do you respond of accusations over design theft?
25:02Is there any truth to Holly Jenkins' claims about your personal life?
25:06Please respect Miss Winter's privacy.
25:09And for the record, you'll all soon see who the real thief is.
25:14We're gathering evidence as we speak.
25:27Excuse me.
25:29Excuse me.
25:31It's okay, punk.
25:32I'll be right.
25:32I'll be right.
25:33It's okay.
25:37It's okay.
25:38What do you want, Mia?
25:44Vic.
25:45I really need your help.
25:47Funny way to ask for a favor after that stunt you just pulled.
25:51Look.
25:52I know you're furious.
25:54I would be too.
25:56But think about Miranda and Pauline for a second.
25:58What about them?
26:00Their jobs are on the line with this show.
26:02If we tank, they're done.
26:04Holly will fire them without a second thought.
26:07Please.
26:08If you care about them keeping their jobs, just help us out here.
26:13Miranda and Pauline are responsible for this show.
26:16Yes.
26:16Absolutely.
26:17And they're counting on this being a hit.
26:20Please, Vic.
26:21Not for me.
26:22For them.
26:24It's weird.
26:25I would have expected them to be here in Paris, you know, for such a make or break show.
26:29What exactly happened to them, Mia?
26:31Yeah.
26:34They...
26:35They couldn't make it.
26:37Holly cut the travel budget.
26:39Is that right?
26:41Victoria, I know I don't deserve your help.
26:46They do.
26:48Fine.
26:51I'll help you.
26:52But I'm doing this for Miranda and Pauline.
26:55Not for you.
27:07Oh my god.
27:08It's Victoria Winter.
27:09The nuclear VEC.
27:11I need scissors, thread, and fresh lining fabric.
27:14Now.
27:21I need royal fuchsia for this stitching.
27:23Regular fuchsia won't work for this fabric.
27:26Does anyone have royal fuchsia thread?
27:31Would this work?
27:37Vincent.
27:39How did you...
27:41I figured you might need some supplies, so...
27:44I had my assistant bring over Joven's emergency kit.
27:49This is perfect, but...
27:52Joven and Maison Laveau are competitors.
27:54Why would you help them?
27:57I'm not helping them.
28:00I'm helping you.
28:02I can't ask you to do this without giving me something in return.
28:06I have a design I've been saving.
28:08Something special I've never shown anyone.
28:11It's yours now.
28:13I don't want your design, Victoria.
28:16Then what do you want?
28:19You.
28:22What?
28:26Your talent.
28:27Your vision.
28:29Come and work at Joven.
28:32I'm in.
28:34I'll work for you.
28:35Just like that?
28:37Just like that.
28:38Now, let me finish my final job for Maison Laveau.
28:53I'm doing it.
28:56You're all great.
28:56I'm doing it.
28:58Do you, man?
29:09I'm doing it.
29:11You, man.
29:12Hours.
29:13Whoa.
29:14No wonder they call her the Nuclear Vic.
29:17It's so fucked up watching her fix my disaster like it's nothing.
29:21The woman I replace making me look like an amateur.
29:29Five minutes till showtime.
29:30We made it.
29:43Well?
29:44Do we pull the plug or not?
29:46We're good.
29:47Everything's back on track.
29:49See?
29:50I knew firing Victoria was the right call.
29:53You've got twice her talent.
29:55Yeah.
29:57Right.
29:57This is exactly why I promoted you.
30:00You fix messes, not make them.
30:09To Victoria.
30:12The real hero of the night.
30:23Mom, you're insane.
30:25I can't believe you actually fixed that disaster in under an hour.
30:29Couldn't have done it without you.
30:32You know, if you start dating before you work together,
30:35it doesn't count as an office bromance.
30:42Well, well, still hanging around.
30:44I thought you'd be too embarrassed to show your face at the after party.
30:48Fraud.
30:50Pauline, why don't you ask the models what happened backstage tonight?
30:54What are you talking about?
30:55No.
30:56Just ask the models.
30:57Any of them.
31:00Oh, and Mia.
31:02Don't forget about our agreement.
31:04About Miranda and Pauline.
31:06I won't.
31:11Two new beginnings at Jovent.
31:20Speaking of new beginnings.
31:23Emily's private school application is to do next month, right?
31:27I want to help with their education.
31:30What? Vincent, that's too much. We barely know each other.
31:37Victoria, I've known you since we were 17.
31:41I remember watching you win that regional competition in that silver dress, the one you made from scratch.
31:49I saw the way your eyes lit up when you talked about changing the fashion world.
31:57You remember that?
31:58I remember everything.
32:02I have followed your career all these years, just hoping that our paths would cross again.
32:10Why didn't you ever reach out?
32:12We were married.
32:15And then you were building your career.
32:20Timing just was never right until now.
32:33I have been waiting 20 years to do this.
32:49I should probably get this.
33:01Mia!
33:05God, I was so right about firing Victoria.
33:08That Milan disaster you turned around? Absolute magic.
33:12And now I have an opportunity that could put you on the map for good.
33:16Sean Gosling needs a tuxedo for the Oscars red carpet.
33:22Sean Gosling?
33:23The Sean Gosling?
33:25The very one, three-time Oscar winner, People's Sexiest Man Alive, and if we play our cards right,
33:31the next face of the Maison LeBeau is a menswear.
33:34They're taking pitches now.
33:36If he picks yours, this changes everything.
33:39For you, for the brand.
33:42Where it is, Joven's in the running too.
33:45Land this, Vincent and his whore Victoria are done.
33:51Seal the deal, I'll bump your pay by 20%.
33:55I've got this, Holly. You won't regret it.
34:04God, what am I gonna do? I can't design menswear.
34:08I barely pulled off the woman's with Victoria's help.
34:12Miranda and Pauline are gone too. I'm completely on my own.
34:17If Holly bought that I saved Milan and fixed Paris when it was all Victoria,
34:24maybe I can squeeze one more miracle over.
34:49Thanks for meeting me. I know things are complicated between us.
34:52You mentioned Miranda and Pauline. Cut to the chase.
34:58We're pitching for Sean's Oscar tux. Miranda and Pauline are also on the team.
35:02Miranda's excellent with menswear. She can handle this without me.
35:05Please wait, there's more to it.
35:07After Paris, Holly needed someone to blame for the fabric disaster.
35:11Miranda and Pauline are on the chopping block. I've been fighting for them.
35:15Are you serious? Pauline's due any day now.
35:19Trust me, I know. This project is our only shot. If we land it, I can convince Holly to keep
35:25them both.
35:26Have you worked with Sean before?
35:28No, but I've heard you have.
35:30Ages ago, I did a jacket frame for the Met Gala.
35:35Actually, I was sketching a new tuxedo concept for him right before I left Maison L'Avon.
35:39Really? What concept?
35:45Well...
35:59Perfect. She's handing everything over without even realizing.
36:02I'll use her design to save my ass and land this project.
36:07Do you still have any of the sketches somewhere?
36:11I do. Actually, I... I took them with me when I left Maison L'Avon.
36:18Wait. Miranda went on maternity leave last week. How exactly is she part of this project?
36:24Well, since she's the best menswear designer we have, Holly's letting her work from home.
36:29Is the company covering her health insurance?
36:33Of course, Vic. Pauline and Miranda's jobs are on the line here.
36:41You need to learn to play. Take all the time you need.
36:46Mia, don't make me regret trusting you.
36:49Again.
37:06Pumpkin, I need a quick favor.
37:09Remember that tuxedo sketch I was working on before everything went sideways?
37:13The Sean Gosselin one with the black satin lapels?
37:16That's the one. Can you check my home office? It should be in the portfolio marked Men's Formal 2025.
37:23Got it. Grace is napping. It's the perfect timing.
37:27Thanks, sweetie. I just need to double check something about the...
37:36Mom, are you okay?
37:42Miranda? Vic?
37:48Mom! Mom! What's going on?
37:52Emily, I'll call you right back.
37:55Miranda, what happened? Why the hell are you scrubbing toilets?
37:59The bills don't pay themselves.
38:01You met my husband, old child with no paycheck, and now there's a newborn at home.
38:07Mia said you were on maternity leave working remotely on the Gosselin project.
38:12What? Is that the story she's spinning now?
38:17After you left, she fired every pregnant woman in the company.
38:22No surveillance, no cover, nothing. Just gone.
38:25What? That's completely illegal.
38:29Company lawyers said that we all suddenly violated some buried performance clause.
38:34All at once. What are the odds, right?
38:38And Polly, parking night shifts at 24 hours diner.
38:42And her sister medical bills keep piling up.
38:50And Mia knew about all this.
38:53Mia. Front row seat when Holly made an announcement.
38:57Didn't even blink.
38:59Too busy admiring her shiny new creative director title.
39:04She's been using you and Pauline to manipulate me.
39:07Telling me her job depended on me helping her.
39:11What? That bitch!
39:15This ends now.
39:22Damn it!
39:28Miss Michael.
39:29He's just arrived from Milan.
39:31We need approval by noon for them.
39:33Can't you see I'm working on something important?
39:45What are you all looking at? Get back to work!
39:48Victoria would never treat us like this.
39:51I heard that.
39:53You think Victoria is so perfect?
39:56Then where is she now? Gone.
39:58Now I'm in charge and if anyone has a problem with that, there's the door.
40:03Well at least you could actually design it.
40:10What the hell is going on here?
40:12Just a great disagreement. Everything's in control.
40:16The Gosling Pitch, tell me you have something presentable.
40:22Of course, I'm just finalizing some details.
40:24Show me.
40:26It's not quite ready.
40:28Now!
40:33This is garbage.
40:36Absolute garbage!
40:38I just need a little more time.
40:40We don't have more time.
40:41This is Sean Gosling we're talking about.
40:43If Chauvin gets this deal instead of us...
40:49What's that?
40:54It's just some inspiration I recorded for the design.
40:59I don't care if you have to sell your soul to the devil.
41:02Get me when you design me tomorrow morning.
41:05Or pack up your desk by lunch!
41:30I still can't believe I'm using this as leverage.
41:39Right on cue.
41:43Meet that sketch ASAP.
41:46Miranda and Pauline's futures depend on it.
41:49The absolute nerve of this woman!
41:53She'll get her a sketch.
41:55And that's when we spring the trap.
42:09You're early.
42:11Vic, I really need that sketch.
42:21I said I'd help, not hand over my design.
42:24Holly's all over me about this.
42:27If I don't have something tonight, Miranda and Pauline are toast.
42:32Still lying, Mia.
42:34You never learn.
42:35Guess it's payback time.
42:37So, do you want my help or not?
42:40I can walk you through it.
42:41Your design could be just as good.
42:43She's such a snake!
42:47Vic, my stomach is killing me!
42:49Can you run to the pharmacy and get something, please?
42:51It's fine, but don't touch anything.
43:20I'm sorry, Vic.
43:22Survival of the fiddles.
43:35You just let her take your work?
43:38She walked out with exactly what I wanted her to have.
43:43You know, boss.
43:44We could pitch ourselves.
43:46Go after the same clients.
43:48Show them what real design looks like.
43:52We're not out yet.
44:05I heard there's a revolution, bro.
44:11Figure you can use all the backup you can get.
44:16You're welcome, mom.
44:21I want you and your team as your van.
44:26Full creative control.
44:29Miranda, your husband's debt handled.
44:33And every casino in the country has been told he's not welcome.
44:37Mr. Chevalier, I...
44:40I'm Pauline.
44:41Your sister is in good hands.
44:44The best heart surgeon in the country.
44:46It's already prepping for her next surgery.
44:49Mr. Chevalier!
44:51Thank you!
44:52Don't thank me.
44:54Thank Victoria.
44:55I'm just looking out for the people she believes in.
44:59Vincent, I...
45:01I don't even know what to say.
45:04It's about time you all get what you deserve.
45:59I don't think but now that it's becoming...
46:13and you're still here final tweaks the pitch goes out tomorrow
46:22you've got grace to sleep

47:45you know Holly your fresh blood strategies work in wonders the office is so empty it echoes
47:53and the only thing growing at Maison Laveau is the legal risk

50:16Mr. Gosling has a serious allergy to synthetic silk
50:18who designed this tuxedo?
50:20did you even read the brief?
50:24I mean
50:25did you
50:26you must have read the brief
50:27it's not complicated
50:28it says
50:29no synthetic
50:30blend
50:31I mean
50:32must be some kind of mistake
50:34perhaps Mia overlooked something
50:36a mistake?
50:37I could have ended up in the emergency room
50:41Victoria
50:42please
50:43tell these amateurs
50:44why you pulled your last design
50:52I pulled my design because the only fabric left was synthetic
50:57I'd never risk Mr. Gosling's health for a deadline
51:00and that's why Victoria's the best
51:02she actually pays attention
51:04after reviewing all of the entries
51:06the committee has reached a decision
51:08the commission goes to
51:10Victoria, Miranda and Pauline
51:12it's okay
51:14Mr. Gosling it was just a slip up
51:17Mia's design was the front runner all along
51:20that's why they picked her first
51:25maybe everyone should see this
51:32wait Mia
51:34did you actually steal Victoria's design?
51:39not so near low
