00:07I'm sorry.
00:13Shit!
00:14No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:15No, the system crashed mid-up-load.
00:17Half the collection is the wrong season.
00:20We're on everything.
00:22No.
00:24The London runway is in 48 hours.
00:27Production starts with these botched designs, we're all dead.
00:31Not just fired, we're dead.
00:33Company collapses, our careers are over.
00:36Come out here and talk to us.
00:38We have 8 million tied up in this collection.
00:41I have a fashion editor from Moe, right now.
00:43One word for me, your industry poison.
00:59Enough.
01:01Vic!
01:04Mia, Japanese indigo.
01:07Miranda, call production emergency protocol 7.
01:11Pauline, handle those vultures.
01:17Tell the boss to hold all calls any 28 minutes.
01:2228 minutes?
01:24The whole system takes 15 to reboot.
01:2627 now.
01:27Tick tock.
01:48I'm done.
01:49Crisis averted.
01:51I swear to God, you're not human.
01:5327 minutes.
01:55Holy shit.
01:56Pre-orders are flooding in.
01:58This will shatter every record.
02:06Vic?
02:07Are you okay?
02:10Just...
02:11Rax and Hicks.
02:11Nothing to...
02:15Oh my God.
02:16Your water broke.
02:24Mom, you're seriously in active labor while saving the entire company?
02:29Multitasking is my superpower pumpkin?
02:33Dad called.
02:35He wanted to know if he should come, but I told him that he lost his visiting privileges since he
02:42decided that his assistance is more comfortable than ours.
02:46That's my girl.
02:56Well, the company's yours now, Holly.
02:59But there's a condition.
03:02We need to slash costs.
03:04Immediately.
03:06Layoffs.
03:10That's it without leave.
03:13Oh, Dad, I know exactly where to start our cuts.
03:16Well, just remember, whoever cleaned up that Malayan disaster, they get immunity.
03:22Maybe.
03:23In fact, um...
03:25They deserve a promotion.
03:29No way this Victoria Wintour saved the company since she's not even there.
03:37Boss?
03:38The Milan collection crisis?
03:40Averted.
03:41Pre-orders are pouring in.
03:43Ew, you saved the entire collection?
03:45Impressive.
03:47Oh, actually.
03:48How about I make you the new creative director?
03:51Starting today.
03:54Oh, my God.
03:55Is this really happening?
03:56She's offering me Victoria's job?
03:59I can finally get rid of that bitch hanging over my head?
04:01I can finally get rid of that bitch hanging over my head?
04:07No.
04:07But, Victoria...
04:08Don't worry about her.
04:10I'm not useless.
04:10We're going to smell fire.
04:16You know that collection I just rescued, Em?
04:20I hid something in the design.
04:23Your initials and now little graces.
04:26Hold them right into the fabric.
04:32And that's going to be a Milan runway?
04:36Plus, the bonus from this collection is substantial.
04:38Enough for your full tuition of private school.
04:42Mom, you ain't have to.
04:43You're going to that private school.
04:45No discussion.
04:47Your sister and I will manage just fine.
04:50This job will keep us afloat.
04:52I love you, Mom.
04:54I love you, Mom.
05:04Holy shit, Holly actually thought I was the one who saved the company.
05:09After all these years in your shadow, Victoria, I'm finally taking what I deserve.
05:29Look, I'm going to fire every single one of them.
05:39What the hell?
05:41Listen up, everyone.
05:42Victoria Wintour is terminated.
05:45Effective immediately.
05:47You can't just do that.
05:49She's in the hospital having her baby.
05:51They're a loss against this.
05:53Vic worked while in labor.
05:56She's the creative backbone of Maison Laveau.
05:59Maternity leave.
06:00Medical insurance.
06:01These preggles are bleeding us dry.
06:05Everything okay here?
06:09Great timing.
06:11Victoria Wintour, you're fired.
06:14Clear out your desk now.
06:24You're Matthew's daughter, aren't you?
06:26I saved this company three times when your father couldn't make payroll.
06:31Three times.
06:34Whoa.
06:36That's ancient history.
06:38The board wants fresh blood.
06:40And Mia here just saved the entire Milan collection.
06:47What?
06:48I'm the one who...
06:52Mia, you...
06:54Feel that curve?
06:56That's her signature.
06:58That's what makes it Maison Laveau.
07:04How could you?
07:05I taught you everything you know.
07:14I wish things were different, Vic.
07:18I should've thought about your career before getting pregnant.
07:27What happens to my team?
07:29Miranda pulled all-nighters for a month straight working on your father's exclusive collections.
07:35Things got so bad she had to get hair, implants.
07:40Pauline had to cancel her own wedding because of a company meeting at the Lou.
07:44These jobs are their lifelines.
07:46Health insurance, paid maternity leave, basic human dignity.
07:49You can't just throw them away.
07:51Well, actually, legally speaking, we can.
07:55No mandated paid maternity leave, no real protection, but hey, that's corporate America for you.
08:01Or, we can shift the math.
08:04You sign, they stay, the budget works out.
08:09Think of it as... taking one for the team.
08:15Miranda's still drowning in her husband's debts.
08:17And Pauline's sister still needs another surgery.
08:21They can't lose their jobs.
08:26Come on, Vic. You say you care about them.
08:29Prove it.
09:07That's my severance package after 15 years. That's what I'm worth to them.
09:23Careful. I got you.
09:32Vincent? Vincent Chevalier?
09:36Hi. High school feels like another lifetime, doesn't it?
09:52So, it's true.
09:56Great Victoria Winter is being shown the door after single-handedly saving Mison LeBeau's
10:00Milan collection. How would you feel about not having to answer to single-minded executives
10:10anymore? Someone with your kind of talent shouldn't be treated like this.
10:16What are you getting at exactly? I'm not talking about you and me.
10:24Partners. You're genius. My money. No corporate BS. No one holding you back.
10:37I've got a baby to think about now.
10:40And I have an empty corner office with a view and an attached nursery. Just saying.
10:51Vincent Chevalier, wow. You didn't expect to see the head of Joven, our corporate nemesis,
10:55strolling into the office. Got your spine here?
11:02Don't mind me. I'm just giving Victoria your soft landing. Triple her salary, corner office.
11:10You know, before the vultures at LB or Chanel swoop in.
11:14Oh, so you're dumpster diving now. Rescuing a washed up single mom with outdated ideas?
11:21Wow, that's an interesting take to have considering you wearing Victoria's designs head to toe.
11:27I mean the jacket, that's Victoria's spring collection, right?
11:32The earrings, that's Victoria's collaboration with Cartier.
11:35If her work is so far beneath you, then maybe you should just strip.
11:42Shit, shit, shit, shit.
11:44What are you talking about? Victoria designed all of this?
11:53Actually, those were my designs.
11:59What did you just say?
12:00The spring collection. The Cartier pieces.
12:04I designed them. Under your supervision, of course, but they came from me.
12:09Oops. Looks like you've been backing the wrong horse, Vincent.
12:14I thought you were better than this, Mia.
12:17Then explain my signature on the original sketch dated six months ago.
12:27So what? Skitches get passed around all the time. It doesn't prove squat.
12:32Maybe she was your little, what do they call it?
12:35Breast designer?
12:37And the logo?
12:40The EW, woven in, Victoria's signature mark. It's been on every major piece she's designed for years.
12:48Well, Mia, explain it. Make me shut up.
12:54It's funny. All those pieces from the Milan collection that everyone's losing in their world.
13:00They all have EW and GW's so new, too.
13:04Victoria's daughter is Emily Winter. Her newborn is Grace Winter.
13:10It's just quite a coincidence that those initials should appear in all your designs, Mia.
13:15Is there a special EW and GW in your life, too?
13:19Well, Mia, tell them. Tell them you designed this. Tell them you saved Milan.
13:24The logo, it's adapted based on traditional motifs.
13:32You lying little bitch!
13:35That promotion was for saving the company.
13:41Look at the logo again. It's not EW or GW. It's actually two M's.
13:49M.M. for McMichael. My last name.
13:56See? One M flipped. One upright.
14:00It's not for Grace or Emily.
14:04It's mine.
14:05That is absolutely ridiculous.
14:09Oh my god, she's right. It does look more like two M's.
14:14You manipulative bitch. You really thought you could steal the credit from my star designer.
14:20You learned well, Mia.
14:23Maybe too well.
14:24You'll regret this.
14:28Mark, listen.
14:29We don't have to sink to that logo.
14:32Okay.
14:33Then let me drive you home, okay?
14:35My Ferrari's outside.
14:37I got this you shouldn't be carrying anymore.
14:40I got it.
14:45Congratulations on your promotion, Mia.
14:48Just take care of Madre and Pawley, will you?
14:54That's right.
14:55Get the hell out of my company.
14:56Go lead your 401k somewhere else.
15:05Paul and Victoria
15:08VIP invitation
15:10Paris Fashion Week
15:11Front row
15:12I think you'll find it
15:14Enlightening
15:23Every pregnant woman fired
15:26All of us
15:27Just like that
15:29No severance
15:31No warning
15:32Nothing
15:32But a box
15:34And a security escort
15:40Finally purge the company
15:42Of those walking liabilities
15:43Their termination paperwork
15:45Practically paid for your sign
15:47And bonus my writing star
15:49Now
15:50About Paris Fashion Week
15:52Your designs are eagerly awaited
15:57Should have kept your legs closed
16:07Oh my god mom
16:09This is insane
16:11I can't believe we're actually here
16:13Victoria Wintour
16:14The Nuclear Vic
16:15Your mom's basically a legend
16:17You know that right
16:20We've been taking bets on where you'll land
16:22After Maison Léveau
16:23Their loss is definitely someone else's jackpot
16:29Wait
16:29Maison Léveau
16:32Well, well
16:33The queen without her crown
16:34Graces us with her presence
16:36Brave of you to show up here
16:38What's next?
16:39Applying for retail jobs at the mall?
16:43Leaving so soon?
16:45You haven't introduced me to your princess
16:48Is mommy dearest to build you in on her little career update
16:51About getting canned for not cutting it anymore?
16:56Mom, is that true?
17:00Don't worry
17:01She'll explain once she figures out
17:03How to keep paying your tuition bills
17:05Ladies and gentlemen
17:07Victoria Wintour
17:08Still pretending she matters
17:14My mom is one of the most talented designers
17:16In this entire room
17:18If Maison Léveau
17:19Was putting people like you
17:20In charge of the business
17:22Then maybe she deserves to crash and burn
17:24Well, look at that
17:26It seems entitlement runs in the family
17:28Say whatever you want about me
17:30But leave my daughter out of it
17:32That's got a sting, huh?
17:34Exposed as unemployed in front of your kid
17:36Who worships you like some kind of hero
17:39But hey, good news
17:40There's a factory down the street
17:42That's always looking for hard-working children
17:44If paying the bills is getting tough
17:46Maybe send her over there
17:49That's enough
17:53That's enough
17:55You've always been a fraud, Victoria
17:57You never belonged in this world
17:59Look at her
18:01A jobless single mom
18:03Still pretending she can afford couture
18:05That dress
18:07It's a cheap knockoff
18:11Wearing fakes to Paris Fashion Week
18:13It's not just pathetic
18:14It's insulting to everyone here
18:16Who actually deserves to be here
18:21What the hell do you think you're doing?
18:24Remove that dress
18:26We don't tolerate counterfeits in this industry
18:30Hey, stop it
18:31Let go of my mom
18:33Now let's see what garbage is really hiding under that dress
18:36Take your hands off her now
18:41Vincent
18:46You're dismissed
18:56You're alright
19:00You're alright
19:02I'm fine
19:03Jesus Christ
19:04That's Vincent Chevalier
19:06The reclusive billionaire who never shows up anywhere
19:09What the hell is he doing with Victoria?
19:13That knockoff
19:15That you're so eager to trash her for
19:18It's Cheven
19:20Mote Couture
19:21Winter Collection
19:23Not even released yet
19:25Price tag
19:28$300,000
19:29Wow
19:31You gave her that
19:32That's right
19:33I did
19:36I would give her the entire damn collection if she wanted it
19:40Oh my god, everyone mystery solved
19:42Victoria's bagged herself a sugar daddy
19:46Mr. Billionaire's not a white knight
19:48He's her walking trust fund
19:52Victoria's sleeping her weight at the top
19:54It's just so predictably desperate
20:01You really don't understand real talent, do you?
20:06For those of you who don't know me
20:08I'm Vincent Chevalier
20:11CEO of Jeven
20:14And yes
20:15I have been in love with Victoria Winter since high school
20:20I've followed your career from a distance for years
20:23Your brilliance
20:25Your principles
20:27Your passion
20:30Victoria, there is no one else like you in this entire industry
20:32Mom, did you know about this?
20:36Now I'm not going to pursue anything until she's ready
20:39But in the meantime, what I will do
20:42Is ensure that her incredible talent has the platform that it deserves
20:46She won't let you down, boss
20:51You're making a complete ass of yourself, Chevalier
20:54She's nothing but a has-been
20:57The show is about to start
20:59Your seats are waiting
21:05Holy shit
21:07The industry Golden Boy and the Creative Powerhouse together?
21:10Talk about a power couple
21:12They could run the entire industry
21:15This isn't over, bitch
21:17Wait till you see what I've prepared for you
21:28So you seriously been in love with my mom since high school?
21:36Some talents
21:38You recognize immediately
21:41Some people too
21:46Ladies and gentlemen
21:48Before we kick off tonight's show
21:49I have an important announcement
21:52This woman is nothing but a fraud and a thief
21:54She's been stealing designs from my creative director for years
22:00It's true
22:01She took my work and passed it off as her own
22:04I slaved away on those designs
22:07Day and night
22:10And Victoria had the nerve to pass them off as her own
22:17That's just the tip of the iceberg, isn't it, Victoria?
22:20Your entire career is based on lies and manipulation
22:24That's enough, Holly
22:27Everyone thinks you're this creative genius
22:29But I know what you really are
22:31Your personal life is just as fake as the so-called talent
22:36Did you know she slept with half the executives
22:38In the industry?
22:40That's her real design strategy
22:42Stop it, Holly
22:43You're embarrassing yourself
22:44And those kids she's so proud of
22:46Who knows who their real fathers are
22:50Who gave you?
22:54Miss Jenkins
22:55Miss McMichaels
22:56It's a disaster in there
22:58There's something wrong with the collection
23:00It's the fabric
23:01Not now
23:07The primary fabrics are disintegrating under the lights
23:11The dresses are literally falling apart
23:14We've only got 50 minutes left until showtime
23:17Is this some kind of sick joke, Maison Laval?
23:19Are you canceling the show because of your incompetence?
23:22This is completely unprofessional
23:24I have 10 million invested in this collection
23:27This is breach of contract
23:32It's actually fixable
23:35Oh, you can't seriously be thinking about helping me backstabbing vultures
23:41Breaking news from Paris Fashion Week
23:44Maison Laval appears to be imploding underneath new leadership
23:47Sources say the entire collection may be canceled
23:49Minutes before showtime
23:51The question on everyone's mind
23:53Is this the end for the once prestigious fashion books?
24:00This show doesn't happen
24:01You're personally liable for the breach penalties
24:04We're talking billions, Holly
24:07Billions
24:31What's this?
24:33Now
24:35The fabric supplier must have sent us defective materials
24:38I can't magically make new dresses in an hour
24:42You have exactly 30 minutes to make this work
24:45If you don't, those breach penalties are coming out of your pocket
24:51That's billions of dollars
24:53Then you better figure something out
24:54Because if you don't, not only are you fired
24:57I'll make sure you never work in fashion again
25:10Miss Winter
25:12How do you respond to accusations over design theft?
25:16Is there any truth to Holly Jenkins' claims about your personal life?
25:19Please respect Miss Winter's privacy
25:22And for the record
25:24You'll also see who the real thief is
25:27We're gathering evidence as we speak
25:40Excuse me
25:42Excuse me
25:44It's okay, punk
25:45I'll be right back
25:52What do you want, Mia?
25:58Vic
25:59I really need your help
26:00Funny way to ask for a favor after that stunt you just pulled
26:05Look
26:06I know you're furious
26:08I would be too
26:09But think about Miranda and Philippe for a second
26:12What about them?
26:14Their jobs are on the line with this show
26:16If we tank, they're done
26:18Holly will fire them without a second thought
26:21Please
26:22If you care about them keeping their jobs
26:24Just put this out here
26:27Miranda and Pauline are responsible for this show
26:29Yes, absolutely
26:31And they're counting on this being a hit
26:34Please
26:34Vic
26:35Not for me
26:36For them
26:37It's good
26:38I would have expected them to be here in Paris
26:41You know, for such a make-or-break show
26:43What exactly happened to them, Mia?
26:49They...they couldn't make it
26:50Holly cut the travel budget
26:54Is that right?
26:56Victoria
26:57I know I don't deserve your help
27:01They do
27:03Fine
27:05I'll help you
27:06But I'm doing this for Miranda and Pauline
27:09Not for you
27:21Oh my god
27:22It's Victoria Winter
27:23The Nuclear Beck
27:25I need scissors, thread, and fresh lining fabric
27:28Now
27:35I need royal fuchsia for the stitching
27:37Regular fuchsia won't work for this fabric
27:39Does anyone have royal fuchsia thread?
27:46Would this work?
27:52Vincent
27:54How did you...
27:55I figured you might need some supplies
27:58So
27:58I had my assistant bring over Joven's emergency kit
28:04This is perfect
28:05But Joven and Maison Lavo are competitors
28:08Why would you help them?
28:12I'm not helping them
28:15I'm helping you
28:17I can't ask you to do this without giving you something in return
28:20I have a design I've been saving
28:22Something special I've never shown anyone
28:25It's yours now
28:28I don't want your design, Victoria
28:31Then what do you want?
28:34You
28:37What?
28:41Your talent
28:42Your vision
28:45Come and work
28:46As Joven
28:47I'm in
28:49I'll work for you
28:50Just like that
28:52Just like that
28:53Now
28:54Let me finish my final job for Maison Lavo
29:25She's doing it in minutes
29:26What would have taken us?
29:27It's ours
29:28Whoa
29:29No wonder they call her the nuclear vic
29:31It's so fucked up watching her fix my disaster like it's nothing
29:35The woman I replace making me look like an amateur
29:44Five minutes till showtime
29:45We made it
29:46We made it
29:47We made it
29:50We made it
30:15Woo
30:15How did you?
30:16You fixed this
30:17Does not make them
30:25To Victoria
30:27The real hero of the night
30:39Mom you're insane I can't believe you actually fixed that disaster in under an hour
30:45Couldn't have done it without you
30:48You know if you start dating before you work together it doesn't count as an office romance
30:58Well, well, still hanging around
31:00I thought you'd be too embarrassed to show your face at the after party
31:05Fraud
31:06Polly, why don't you ask the models what happened backstage tonight?
31:10What are you talking about?
31:12Just ask the models
31:13Any of them
31:16Oh, and Mia
31:17Don't forget about our agreement
31:19About Miranda and Pauline
31:21I won't
31:28Two new beginnings at Chauvin
31:37Speaking of new beginnings
31:39Emily's private school application is due next month, right?
31:44I want to help
31:45With her education
31:47What?
31:49Vincent, that's too much
31:50We barely know each other
31:52Victoria
31:53Victoria
31:54I've known you since we were 17
31:58I remember
32:00Watching you win that regional competition
32:02In that silver dress
32:04The one you made from scratch
32:07I saw the way your eyes lit up
32:09When you talked about changing the fashion world
32:13Do you remember that?
32:15I remember everything
32:19I have followed your career
32:21All these years
32:23Just hoping that our paths would cross again
32:26Why didn't you ever reach out?
32:28Why didn't you ever reach out?
32:28You were married
32:31And then you weren't
32:33And then you were building your career
32:35And the timing just
32:37Was never right
32:40Until now
32:50I have been waiting
32:5220 years to do this
33:06I should probably get this
33:18Mia
33:22God, I was so right about firing Victoria
33:25That Milan disaster you turned around
33:27Absolute magic
33:29And now I have an opportunity
33:30That can put you on the map for good
33:33Sean Gosling needs a tuxedo
33:35For the Oscars red carpet
33:39Sean Gosling
33:40The Sean Gosling
33:42The very one
33:43Three-time Oscar winner
33:45People's Sexiest Man Alive
33:46And if you play your cards right
33:48The next face of the maze
33:50Only goes anywhere
33:51They're taking pitches now
33:53If he picks yours
33:55This changes everything
33:56For you
33:57For the brand
33:58Word is
34:00Joven's in the running too
34:01Land this
34:03Vincent and his poor Victoria
34:05Are done
34:09Seal the deal
34:10I'll bump your pay by 20%
34:13I've got this Holly
34:15You won't regret it
34:23God, what am I gonna do?
34:24I can't design menswear
34:26I barely pulled off the woman's with Victoria's help
34:29Miranda and Felina are gone too
34:32I'm completely on my own
34:34If Holly bought that
34:37I saved Milan
34:38And fixed Paris
34:39When it was
34:40All Victoria
34:41Maybe
34:42I can squeeze
34:44One more miracle
35:07Over
35:07Thanks for meeting me
35:08I know things are complicated between us
35:10You mentioned Miranda and Pauline
35:12Cut to the chase
35:17We're pitching for Sean's Oscar tucks
35:19Miranda and Pauline are also on the team
35:21Miranda's excellent with menswear
35:22She can handle this without me
35:24Please, wait
35:24There's more to it
35:26After Paris
35:27Holly needed someone to blame for the fabric disaster
35:29Miranda and Pauline are on the chopping block
35:32I've been fighting for them
35:34Are you serious?
35:36Pauline's due any day now
35:37Trust me
35:38I know
35:39This project is our only shot
35:41If we land it
35:42I can convince Holly to keep them both
35:44Have you worked with Sean before?
35:46No
35:47But I've heard you have
35:49Ages ago
35:50I did a jacket frame for the Met Gala
35:53Actually, I was sketching in your tuxedo concept frame
35:56Right before I left Maison alone
35:57Really?
35:58What concept?
36:04Well
36:18Perfect, she's handing everything over without even realizing
36:21I'll use her design to save my ass and land this project
36:26Do you still have any of the sketches somewhere?
36:30I do
36:31Actually, I
36:32I took them with me when I left Maison Laveau
36:36Wait
36:38Miranda went on maternity leave last week
36:40How exactly is she part of this project?
36:43Well, since she's the best menswear designer we have
36:46Holly's letting her work from home
36:48Is the company covering her health insurance?
36:52Of course, Vic
36:54Pauline and Miranda's jobs are on the line here
37:00You need to lend a body
37:02Take all the time you need
37:04Mia
37:05Don't make me regret trusting you
37:08Again
37:26Pumpkin, I need a quick favor
37:28Remember that tuxedo sketch I was working on before everything went sideways?
37:33The Sean Gosselin one with the black hat and lapels?
37:36That's the one
37:37Can you check my home office?
37:38It should be in the portfolio marked Men's Formal 2025
37:43Got it
37:44Grace is napping
37:45The perfect timing
37:46Thanks, sweetie
37:47I just need to double check something about the
37:53Shoulder
37:54Instruction
37:56Mom, are you okay?
38:02Miranda?
38:04Vic?
38:09Mom, mom, what's going on?
38:12Emily, I'll call you right back
38:15Brenda, what happened?
38:17Why the hell are you scrubbing toilets?
38:20Bills don't pay themselves
38:22You met my husband
38:23Old Chira with no paycheck
38:25And now there's a newborn at home
38:28Mia said you were on maternity leave
38:30Working remotely on the Gosselin project
38:32What?
38:33But is that the story she's spinning now?
38:37After you left
38:39She fired every pregnant woman in the company
38:42No severance, no cover, nothing
38:44Just gone
38:46That's completely illegal
38:49Company lawyers said that we all suddenly violated some very performance clause
38:54All at once
38:55What are the odds, right?
38:58And Polly
38:58Working night shifts at 24 hours time
39:02Her sister medical bills keep piling up
39:10And Mia knew about all this
39:12Mia
39:14Front row seat when Holly made an announcement
39:17Didn't even blink
39:19Too busy admiring her shiny new creative director title
39:23She's been using you and Pauline to manipulate me
39:27Telling me her job depended on me helping her
39:30What?
39:32That bitch
39:35This ends now
39:43Damn it
39:48Miss Michael
39:49He's just arrived from Milan
39:51We need approval by noon
39:54Can't you see I'm working on something important?
40:09What are y'all looking at?
40:10Get back to work
40:12Victoria would never treat us
40:16I heard that
40:17I heard that
40:18You think Victoria is so perfect?
40:20Then where is she now?
40:22Gone
40:22Now I'm in charge
40:24And if anyone has a problem with that
40:26There's the door
40:34What the hell is going on here?
40:37Just a great disagreement
40:39Everything's in control
40:40The Gosling page
40:42Tell me you have something presentable
40:47Of course
40:48I'm just finalizing some details
40:49Show me
40:51It's not quite ready
40:52Now
40:58This is garbage
41:01Absolute garbage
41:02I just need a little more time
41:04We don't have more time
41:06This is Sean Gosling we're talking about
41:08If Shou Fenn gets this deal instead of us
41:14What's that?
41:20It's just some inspiration
41:21I recorded for the design
41:25I don't care if you have to sell your soul to the devil
41:28Get me a winning designer tomorrow morning
41:30Or pack up your desk by lunch
41:56I still can't believe I'm using this as leverage
42:04Right on cue
42:08Meet that sketch ASAP
42:11Miranda and Pauline's futures depend on it
42:14The absolute nerve of this woman
42:19She'll get her a sketch
42:20And that's when we spring the trap
42:35You're early
42:37Thick
42:37I really need that sketch
42:47I said I'd help
42:48Not hand over my design
42:50Holly's all over me about this
42:52If I don't have something tonight
42:54Miranda and Pauline are toast
42:58Still lying Mia
42:59You never learn
43:01Guess it's payback time
43:02So
43:03Do you want my help or not?
43:06I can walk you through it
43:07Your design could be just as good
43:09She's such a snake
43:13Bec
43:13My stomach is killing me
43:15Can you run to the pharmacy
43:16And get something please?
43:18Fine
43:19But don't touch anything
43:47Sorry the survival of the fittest
43:49Sorry the survival of the fittest
44:02You just let her take your work
44:04She walked out with exactly what I wanted her to have
44:09You know boss
44:11We could pitch ourselves
44:13Go after the same clients
44:14Show them what real design looks like
44:18We're not out yet
44:31Oh there's a revolution room
44:38Baker you can use all the backup you can get
44:43You're welcome mom
44:48I want you
44:49And your team
44:50As your van
44:53Full creative control
44:56I'm Miranda
44:57Your husband's debt
44:58Handled
44:59And every casino in the country
45:02Has been told he's not welcome
45:04Mr. Cherellier I
45:07I'm Pauline
45:08Your sister is in good hands
45:10The best heart surgeon in the country
45:13Is already prepping for her next surgery
45:16Mr. Cherellier
45:18Thank you
45:19Don't thank me
45:20Thank Victoria
45:22I'm just looking out for the people she believes in
45:26Vincent
45:27I
45:28I don't even know what to say
45:31It's about time
45:32You all get what you deserve
45:35I don't even know what to say
45:35I don't even know what to say
45:36I don't even know what to say
45:36I don't even know what to say
45:37I don't even know what to say
45:41I don't even know what to say
45:43I don't even know what to say
45:45I don't even know what to say
45:47I don't even know what to say
45:48I don't even know what to say
45:49I don't even know what to say
45:51I don't even know what to say
45:52I don't even know what to say
45:52I don't even know what to say
45:52I don't even know what to say
45:52I don't even know what to say
45:52I don't even know what to say
45:54I don't even know what to say
45:55I don't even know what to say
46:40And you're still here?
46:43Final tweaks. The pitch goes out tomorrow.
46:49You've got Grace to sleep.
46:54Yeah.
46:56And Emily's almost finished with her algebra.
47:01Maybe new beginnings aren't so scary after all.
47:09Remember, smile. We're about to make history.
47:15Maison Laveau sets the bar.
47:18We don't follow trends. We create them.
47:26Satin black lapels, nod to Mr. Sean Gosling's Met Gala moment, a blend of tradition and boldness.
47:34I think we can all agree Maison Laveau is back on top.
47:44What is that bitch doing here?
47:50Thank you, Mr. Jenkins, for clearing out your best talent.
47:54My company is thriving because of your generosity.
48:00I didn't expect to see you here.
48:02I thought you'd be all tied up with PTA meetings and diaper changes.
48:08I multitask.
48:10Unlike some, I don't need to fire half my staff to feel competent.
48:14You know, Holly, your fresh blood strategies work in wonders.
48:19The office is so empty, it echoes.
48:22And the only thing growing at Maison Laveau is the legal risk.
48:27Pregnant woman talk, you know.
48:29Three X and 3s and a rival CEO.
48:32What's next? A fake sale?
48:35Laugh all you want, Holly.
48:36You're about to see what real teamwork looks like.
48:39And what real loyalty looks like.
48:55Sean, I'm glad you could make it.
48:57We have something very special to show you.
49:02Vic.
49:06I thought you just had a beautiful baby girl you'd never know.
49:09Congratulations.
49:11Thank you, Sean.
49:12It's good to see you.
49:14Let's begin the pitches.
49:17You ready to lose?
49:19You're out of your league.
49:20You should know by now, I don't play by your rules.
49:30First up, Mia McMichael, Maison Laveau.
49:51Next, Victoria, Miranda and Pauline.
50:03Beautiful work.
50:05Both teams.
50:10We'll need a few minutes to discuss.
50:16After careful consideration, we're awarding Project 2.
50:23Maison Laveau.
50:24Oh, my God.
50:27Of course.
50:29This is what you planned all along, wasn't it?
50:41What the hell did you people put me in?
50:44Are you trying to kill me?
50:46Mr. Gosling has a serious allergy to synthetic silk.
50:49Who designed this tuxedo?
50:50Did you even read the brief?
50:54I mean, you must have read the brief.
50:57It's not complicated.
50:58It says no synthetic blends.
51:02I mean.
51:03It must be some kind of mistake.
51:04Perhaps Mia overlooked something.
51:07A mistake?
51:08I could have ended up in the emergency room.
51:11Victoria, please, tell these amateurs
51:15why you pulled your last design.
51:23I pulled my design
51:25because the only fabric left was synthetic.
51:27I'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 of the entries,
51:37the committee has reached a decision.
51:39The commission goes to
51:40Victoria, Miranda and Pauline.
51:43Which are there.
51:45Mr. 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.
52:03Wait, Mia, did you actually steal Victoria's design?
52:11Not so near low.
52:12Even for you.
52:17Maison Laveau will be hearing from my liars.
52:21So you know,
52:23I will be supporting Victoria's case
52:26for design theft.
52:28Maison Laveau's reputation is toast.
52:31We're suspending all collaborations.
52:43Don't even think about trying to land anywhere else.
52:46You're blacklisted.
52:51You're blacklisted.
52:53Victoria, please.
53:03Victoria, please.
53:05I'll do anything.
53:07Please just help me save the company,
53:09the brand you built for 15 years.
53:12You made your choices, Holly.
53:14Now you live with them.
53:17You finally went too far.
53:25Sean Gosling's look tonight is a game-changer crafted by the trailblazing team at Joven.
53:30And social media is already calling it the Winter Revolution.
53:41To the best comeback in fashion history,
53:44and to the women who made it happen.
53:47And to the maternity leave that actually means something.
53:53Mom, you might want to see this.
54:05Happy birthday, Victoria.
54:10Happy birthday to you!
54:16Guys, look!
54:20Maison Laveau on the brink.
54:22Scandal pushes fashion giant towards bankruptcy.
54:26Ouch!
54:27I guess karma has a sense of humor.
54:30It's strange, isn't it?
54:35I gave them everything.
54:37Late nights, weekends, all the best years,
54:41and they tossed us aside like we were nothing.
54:45Now it's all crashing down.
54:46I thought I'd feel vindicated.
54:49Honestly, it's a weird mix.
54:52Relief, sure, but also a little bit of grief.
54:56Look, who said that our best years are behind us?
54:59Look at this!
55:02Jevain pushes for paid leave and parental support across all industries.
55:08Victoria, this is you.
55:10You did this.
55:12Here's to a future where women don't have to choose between their families and their careers.
55:17Not just for us, but for every woman who comes after.
55:23Careful, Vincent.
55:24You almost forgot the best part.
55:37Victoria Winter.
55:41Will you marry me?
55:47Yes!
55:48A thousand times yes!
55:50Woo!
55:59Woo!
56:10Best birthday ever!
56:28You came. I thought you'd want to see me like this.
56:32I came because I wanted to hear it from you.
56:36When word got out you left. Clients failed.
56:40The board freaked. Numbers tanked. I couldn't stop it.
56:46You steered Maison Laveau into this storm, Holly.
56:52I know. I know.
56:57My father...
56:58The stress gave him a heart attack. He won't even speak to me anymore.
57:03I destroyed everything.
57:06I thought slashing costs would save us, but instead I gutted the company.
57:12I didn't mean for it to end like this.
57:16Maison Laveau isn't dead. I bought it. Last week.
57:21The brand. The archives. Even the debt. It's part of Gevin now.
57:28You bought it? Why would you do that?
57:30To make sure that no more women have to suffer because of policies like yours.
57:38You win, Victoria.
57:40To help you do better than I did.
57:44I'll do it differently.
57:47Goodbye, Holly.
58:03Miss Wintour. I just... I wanted to thank you.
58:09Because of your campaign, my company gave me maternity leave.
58:15I can keep working and have my baby.
58:20You changed everything.
58:23Congratulations.
58:25Wishing you and your little one every happiness.
58:36Ready?
58:40Always.
58:52And now, Gevin's new collection designed by Victoria Wintour and your team.
58:58I want to thank you.
59:00Thank you, Kim.
59:01You got it.
59:03Thank you, Kim.
59:04Thank you, Kim.
59:06So, thank you so much for coming.
59:07You
