00:16The collection is the wrong season.
00:17I'm on everything.
00:18No!
00:19Come on, Ron.
00:20Wait until 48 hours.
00:22The production starts with these bushy designs,
00:27we're all dead!
00:28Not just fire, we're in debt!
00:30Your company collapses our careers are over!
00:33Come out here and talk to us!
00:35We have 8 million tied up in this election!
00:38Prepare to bash it at your people!
00:40Right now, one word from me is poison!
00:43Enough!
00:58Vic!
01:00Mia, Japanese Indigo.
01:04Miranda call production, emergency protocol 7.
01:08Pauline, and Liz Vultures.
01:13Tell the boss to hold all calls any 28 minutes.
01:1928 minutes?
01:21The whole system takes 15 to reboot.
01:2327 now.
01:25Tick tock.
01:43Fenton, crisis averted.
01:48I swear to God, you are not human.
01:5027 minutes!
01:52Holy shit!
01:53Pre-orders are flooding in!
01:55This will shatter every record!
02:03Vic!
02:04Are you okay?
02:05Just Braxton Hicks.
02:06Nothing too.
02:07Oh my god, your water broke!
02:11Mom, you were seriously in active labor while saving the entire company?
02:13Multitasking is my superpower pumpkin?
02:15Dad called.
02:16He wanted to know if we should come, but I told him that he lost his visiting privileges since he decided that his assistance then was more comfortable than ours.
02:25That's my girl.
02:26Ah!
02:27Ah!
02:28Ah!
02:29Ah!
02:30Ah!
02:31Well, the company's yours now.
02:32I'm sorry.
02:33I'm sorry.
02:34Ah!
02:35Ah!
02:36Ah!
02:37Ah!
02:38Ah!
02:39Ah!
02:40Ah!
02:41Ah!
02:42Ah!
02:43Ah!
02:44Ah!
02:45Ah!
02:46Ah!
02:47Ah!
02:48Ah!
02:49Ah!
02:50Ah!
02:51Ah!
02:52Ah!
02:53Ah!
02:54Ah.
02:55Er-
02:56-
02:56I know.
02:57Um-
02:58Oh yeah.
03:01Or the company's yours now, Holly.
03:03But...
03:04there's a condition.
03:05We need to slash costs.
03:06Immmediately.
03:07Layoffs.
03:08That's it without leave.
03:09Oh, Dad, I know exactly where to start our cubs.
03:11Well, just remember.
03:12when we cleaned up that Malayan disaster, They get immunity.
03:17and get immunity.
03:19In fact, um,
03:21they deserve a promotion.
03:26No way this Victoria Wintour saved the company since she's not even there.
03:34Boss, the Mulan collection crisis averted.
03:37Pre-orders are pouring in.
03:39Ew, you saved the entire collection. Impressive.
03:42Oh, Ashley.
03:44How about I make you the new creative director starring today?
03:50Oh my god, is this really happening?
03:52She's offering you Victoria's job?
03:55I can finally get rid of that bitch hanging over my head?
04:03But, Victoria-
04:04Don't worry about her.
04:05I'm gonna use this guy to sound fire.
04:12You know that collection I just rescued Ab?
04:16I hid something in the design.
04:19Your initials and now little graces.
04:22Holding right into the fabric.
04:28And that can give a long runway?
04:31Plus, the bonus from this collection is substantial.
04:34Enough for your full tuition at private school.
04:37Oh, we have to.
04:39We're going to that private school.
04:41No discussion.
04:43Your sister and I will manage just the way.
04:46This job will keep us apart.
04:48I 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 gonna fire every single one of them.
05:27What the hell?
05:28Listen up, everyone.
05:29Victoria Winter is terminated.
05:30Effective immediately.
05:31You can't just do that.
05:32She's in the hospital having her baby.
05:33There are laws against this.
05:34Vic worked while in labor.
05:35She's a creative backbone of Miss own-niveau.
05:36Maternity leave, medical insurance.
05:37These preggos are bleeding us dry.
05:38Everything okay here?
05:39Great timing.
05:40Victoria Winter, you're fired.
05:42Victoria Winter, you're fired.
05:44You can't just do that. She's in the hospital having her baby. There are laws against this.
05:49Vic worked while in labor. She's a creative backbone of his own level.
05:55Maternity leave, medical insurance, these preggos are bleeding us dry.
06:01Everything okay here?
06:05Great timing. Victoria Winter, you're fired.
06:10Clear out your desk now.
06:14You're Matthew's daughter, aren't you? I saved this company three times when your father couldn't be here.
06:27Three times.
06:30Well, that's ancient history. The word was fresh blood.
06:36And me eager to save the entire long collection.
06:39What? I'm the one who...
06:46Mia, you...
06:50You're like her. That's the signature. That's what makes it me as a lover.
06:55How could you? I taught you everything you know.
07:02I wish things were different, Vic.
07:07I should have thought about your career before getting pregnant.
07:17What happens to my team?
07:25Miranda pulled all of matters for a month straight working on your father's exclusive collections.
07:31Things were so bad she had to get hair, implants.
07:34Pauline 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!
07:44You can't just throw them away!
07:46Well, actually, legally speaking, we can. No mandated paid maternity leave, no real protection today, and 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...
08:07...taking one for the team.
08:10Miranda's still drowning in her husband's deaths.
08:13And Pauline's sister still needs another surgery.
08:16They can't lose their jobs.
08:22Come on, Vic. You say you're about them.
08:25Prove it.
08:34...
08:58Hi, Fred.
09:01That's my 7th package after 15 years, that's what it works to-
09:19Careful. I got you.
09:22Vincent? Vincent Chevalier?
09:32Hi. High school feels like not a lifetime, doesn't it?
09:39So, it's true. Great Victoria Winter has been shown the door after single-handedly saving what we saw in the Rose Mulan collection.
09:56How do 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. Partners. You're genius. My money. No corporate BS. No one holding you back.
10:32I thought it made me think about now.
10:35And I have an empty corner office with you and an attached nursery. Just saying.
10:44Vincent Chevalier, wow. We didn't miss that just in the head of Chauvin.
10:49Our corporate nexus is scrolling into the office.
10:52Got your spine here?
10:57Don't mind me. I'm just giving Victoria here a soft landing.
11:02Triple her salary, corner office.
11:05You know, before the vultures at L.B. or Chanel swoop in.
11:09I want to see your dumpster diving now.
11:12Rescuing 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?
11:27The earrings, that's Victoria's collaboration with Cartier.
11:30If her work is so far beneath you, maybe you should just strip.
11:37Shit, shit, shit.
11:39What are you talking about? Victoria designed all of this.
11:48Actually, those were my designs.
11:50What did you decide?
11:54The spring collection.
11:56The Cartier pieces.
11:57I designed them.
11:59Under your supervision, of course.
12:01But they came from me.
12:03Oops.
12:04Looks like you've been backing your own horse, Vincent.
12:07I thought you were better than this man.
12:10Let me explain my signature.
12:13On the original sketch dated six months ago.
12:21So what?
12:22Sketchers get past her all the time.
12:24It doesn't prove squat.
12:25Maybe she was in the middle of...
12:27What did they call it?
12:28Best design?
12:30And the logo?
12:32The EW, woven in.
12:36Victoria's signature mark.
12:38It's been on every major piece she's designed for years.
12:41Mommy, explain it.
12:43Maybe shut up.
12:48It's funny.
12:49All those pieces.
12:51The Milan collection that everyone's losing their heart.
12:54They all have EW and GW similar too.
12:57Victoria's daughter is Emily Winter.
13:00Her newborn is Grace Winter.
13:03It's just quite a coincidence that those initials should appear in all your designs, Mia.
13:09Is 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.
13:26You lying little bitch!
13:29Black Promotions is saving the company!
13:35Look at the logo again.
13:37It's not EW or GW.
13:41It's actually two Ms.
13:44M-M for McMichael, my last name.
13:50See?
13:51One M flipped.
13:52One upright.
13:53It's not for Grace or Emily.
13:57It's mine.
13:59That is absolutely ridiculous.
14:02Oh my gosh, she's right.
14:03It does look more like two Ms.
14:05You manipulated me.
14:06She really thought you could steal the credit from my star designer.
14:11You learned well Mia.
14:12Maybe two are.
14:13You'll regret this.
14:14What?
14:15We don't have to sit there at all.
14:16Okay.
14:17Love you driving over here.
14:18I have four hours outside.
14:19If I got this, you shouldn't be carrying it.
14:21Through.
14:22Congratulations on your promotion, Mia.
14:23Just take care of my honor of Paulie, will you?
14:24That's right!
14:25Get the hell out of my company!
14:26Go lead your 401k somewhere else.
14:27That's right!
14:28Get the hell out of my company!
14:29Go lead your 401k somewhere else!
14:56Call of Victoria.
14:59The VIP invitation.
15:00Paras fashion week.
15:01Front row.
15:02I feel you'll find it.
15:03Lightning.
15:04Every pregnant woman fired.
15:05All of us!
15:06Just like that.
15:07No severance.
15:08No warning.
15:09Nothing!
15:11I'm here.
15:12I'm here.
15:13I'm here.
15:14I'm here.
15:15I'm here.
15:16I'm here.
15:17I'm here.
15:18I'm here.
15:19I'm here.
15:20I'm here.
15:21I'm here.
15:22I'm here.
15:23I'm here.
15:24Deference, no warning, nothing but a box and a security asker.
15:34Finally purge the company of those walking liabilities.
15:38For termination, you won't have to be paid for your sign.
15:41The bonus is already a star.
15:43Now, I'm not going to slash you again.
15:46Your signs are eerily related.
15:51She'll get your eyes closed.
15:54Oh my god, mom.
16:02This is insane.
16:04I can't believe we're actually here.
16:06Victoria went for it.
16:07The nuclear dick.
16:09Your mom's basically a legend.
16:10You know that, right?
16:13We've been taking bets on where you'll land after Maison de Vol.
16:16Their loss is definitely someone else's jackpot.
16:19Wait, Maison de Vol?
16:23Well, well, the queen of the outer crown graces us for her presence.
16:29Great of you to show up here.
16:31What's next?
16:32Applying for retail jobs at the mall?
16:34Leave me so soon.
16:35You haven't introduced me to your princess.
16:36Mom, is that true?
16:37Mom, is that true?
16:38Don't worry.
16:39She'll explain once she figures out how to keep paying her tuition bills.
16:44Ladies and gentlemen, Victoria Winter.
16:45Still pretending she matters.
16:46My mom is one of the most talented designers in this entire room.
16:50If Miss Oni Vol was putting people like you in charge of the business, then maybe deserves to crush and burn.
16:51Well, look at that.
16:52It seems entitlement running around the world.
16:53It's not true.
16:54It's not true.
16:55It's not true.
16:56It's not true.
16:57Don't worry.
16:58She'll explain once she figures out how to keep paying her tuition bills.
16:59Ladies and gentlemen, Victoria Winter.
17:01Still pretending she matters.
17:02My mom is one of the most talented designers in this entire room.
17:07If Miss Oni Vol was putting people like you in charge of the business, then maybe deserves
17:16to crush and burn.
17:17Well, look at that.
17:18It seems entitlement runs in the family.
17:21Say whatever you want about me, but leave my daughter out of it.
17:25That's got a stain, huh?
17:26Exposed as unemployed in front of your kid who worships you like some kind of hero?
17:32Hey, good news.
17:33There's a factory down the street that's always looking for hardworking children.
17:37If paying bills is getting tough, maybe send her over there.
17:41That's enough.
17:42That's enough.
17:46That'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.
18:00That'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.
18:13What the hell do you think you're doing?
18:16Remove that dress.
18:18We don't tolerate counterfeits in this industry.
18:23Hey, stop it! Let go of my mom!
18:26Let's see what garbage is really hiding under that dress.
18:29Take your hands off her now.
18:34Vincent.
18:40You're dismissed.
18:50You alright?
18:54You alright?
18:55Lookin' for-
18:56Jesus Christ, that's Vincent Chevalier!
18:59The reclusive leader who never shows up anywhere?
19:02What the hell is he doing with Victoria?
19:06That knockoff?
19:08That you're so near to trash her for?
19:11It's Chauvin.
19:13Of Couture.
19:14Winter Collection.
19:16Not even released yet.
19:18Plus 10?
19:20300,000.
19:22Wow!
19:23You gave her up.
19:24That's right.
19:26We did.
19:29I would give her the entire damn collection if she wanted it.
19:32Oh my god, everyone mystery solved!
19:35Victoria's backed herself a sugar daddy!
19:38Mr. Billionaire is not a white knight, he's from walking trust fund.
19:45Victoria's sleeping her way in the top.
19:48It's just so predictably desperate.
19:53You really don't understand real talent, do you?
19:57But those of you who don't know me, I'm Vincent Chevalier.
20:02CEO of Jeven.
20:05And yes, I have been in love with Victoria Winter since high school.
20:11I have followed your career from a distance for years.
20:14Your brilliance.
20:17Your principles.
20:19Your passion.
20:21Victoria, there is no one else like you in this entire industry.
20:25Mom, did you know about this?
20:27I'm not going to pursue anything until she's ready.
20:31But in the meantime, what I will do is ensure that her incredible talent has the platform that it deserves.
20:37She won't let you down, boss.
20:39You're making a complete ass of yourself, Chevalier. She's nothing but a has-been.
20:48The show's about to start.
20:51Your seats are waiting.
20:57Holy shit.
20:59The industry, Bold Boy and the Creative Powerhouse, together?
21:03Talk about a power couple.
21:05They come in the entire industry.
21:07This is over, bitch.
21:09Wait till you see what I've prepared for.
21:11I've prepared for her.
21:21So you seriously didn't love my mom since high school?
21:28Some talents.
21:30You recognize me.
21:33Some people do.
21:35Ladies and gentlemen, before we kick off tonight's show, I have an important announcement.
21:44This woman is nothing but a fraud and a thief.
21:47She's been stealing designs from my creative director for years.
21:52It's true.
21:54She took my work and passed it off as her own.
21:56I slaved away on those designs, day and night.
22:00And Victoria had the nerve to pass them off as her own.
22:09That's just particularly iceberg, isn't it, Victoria?
22:12Your entire career is based on lies and 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.
22:26Did you know she slept with half the executives in the industry?
22:31That's her real design strategy.
22:34Stop it, Holly. You're embarrassing yourself.
22:36And those kids she's so proud of? Who knows who their real daughters are?
22:41How dare you?
22:46Miss Jenkins, listen, Michaels.
22:49It's a disaster in there.
22:51There's something wrong with the collection. It's the fabric.
22:52It's the fabric.
22:54Not now.
23:00The primary fabrics are disintegrating into the lights.
23:03The dresses are literally falling apart.
23:06But we've only got 50 beds lost until showtime.
23:09Is this some kind of sick joke in them all?
23:11You can't send the show because you're incompetent?
23:14This is completely unprofessional.
23:15I have 10 million invested in this collection.
23:20This is breach of contract.
23:24It's actually fixable.
23:26Ugh.
23:28You can't seriously be thinking about helping with backstabbing vultures.
23:33Breaking news from Paris Fashion Week.
23:35Masonville Pro appears to be employed underneath new leadership.
23:39Sources say the entire collection needed canceled.
23:42Minutes before showtime.
23:44The question on everyone's mind?
23:46Is this the end for the most prestigious fashion weeks?
23:52If this show doesn't happen,
23:54you're personally liable for the breach of Antis.
23:56We're talking films.
23:59Films.
24:23Get used to this!
24:24Now!
24:26How?
24:27The fiber supplier must have sent us affected materials.
24:31I can't magically make you dresses 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.
24:42That's billions of dollars.
24:45Then you better figure something out.
24:47Because if you don't, you're already fired.
24:50I'll make sure you never work in fashion again.
24:54Miss Winter, how do you respond to accusations over design theft?
25:07Is 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.
25:18We're gathering evidence as we speak.
25:20We're gathering evidence as we speak.
25:32Excuse me.
25:34Excuse me.
25:36It's okay.
25:37What do you want, Mia?
25:38Vic, I really need help.
25:52Funny way to ask for a favor after that stunt you just pulled.
25:55Look.
25:57I know you're furious.
25:59I 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.
26:12Please.
26:14If you care about them keeping their jobs, just don't hold this guy with you.
26:18Miranda and Pauline are responsible for this show.
26:20Yes.
26:21Absolutely.
26:22And they're counting on this being a hit.
26:25Please.
26:26Not for me.
26:28For that.
26:29At all.
26:31I 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.
26:46Is that right?
26:47Victoria.
26:49I 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.
27:15The Nuclear Vec.
27:16I need scissors, thread, and fresh lining fabric.
27:19Now.
27:27I need royal fuchsia for the stitching.
27:29Regular fuchsia won't work with this fabric.
27:32Does anyone have royal fuchsia thread?
27:37Can this work?
27:38Vincent.
27:39How did you...
27:40I figured you might need some supplies.
27:41So...
27:42I had my assistant bring it over Jovan as an emergency kit.
27:43This is perfect, but...
27:44Jovan and Maisel Navo are competitors.
27:45Why would you help them?
27:46I'm not helping them.
27:47I'm helping you.
27:48I can't ask you to do this without giving me something in return.
27:49I have a design I've been saving.
27:50Something special I've never shown anyone.
27:51It's yours now.
27:52I don't want your design, Victoria.
27:53I don't want your design, Victoria.
27:54I have a design I've been saving.
27:55Something special I've never shown anyone.
27:57It's yours now.
27:58I don't want your design, Victoria.
27:59Then what do you want?
28:00You.
28:01What?
28:02Why are you trying to...
28:03You?
28:04Why are you trying to find yourself?
28:05No.
28:06I don't want your design, Victoria.
28:07But it's just hard to find your own.
28:08I am trying to help them.
28:09I'm not helping them.
28:10I am helping you.
28:12I am helping you.
28:13I can't ask you to do this without giving something in return.
28:15I have a design I've been saving.
28:16Something special I've never shown anyone.
28:17It's yours now.
28:19I don't want your design, Victoria.
28:21Then what do you want?
28:26You.
28:27What?
28:28What?
28:33You're a talent.
28:34You're a vision.
28:36Come and work as you're in.
28:39I'm in.
28:40I'll work for you.
28:42Just like that?
28:43Just like that.
28:44Now?
28:45Let me finish my final job for Miss Olivelle.
28:58Like the new one's cool.
29:00I'm ready.
29:02So I'ma get, I'ma get, I'ma get, I'ma get out.
29:05I won't be bad.
29:07Don't ever change.
29:11I'm gonna be proud of my name.
29:15She's doing this.
29:17What would take us hours?
29:19Whoa.
29:20No wonder they call us a nuclear bitch.
29:23It's so fucked up watching her fix my disaster like it's nothing.
29:27The woman I replaced making you look like an amateur.
29:35Five minutes from showtime.
29:37We made it.
29:51Well?
29:52Do we pull the plug or not?
29:53We're good.
29:54Everything's back on track.
29:56See?
29:57I knew firing Victoria was the right call.
30:00You've got twice her talent.
30:03Yeah.
30:04Right.
30:05This is exactly why I'm promoting you.
30:07Indexes is not makeup.
30:10To Victoria.
30:11The real hero of mine.
30:16To Victoria.
30:17The real hero of mine.
30:19The real hero of mine.
30:31Mom, you're insane.
30:32I can't believe you actually picked that disaster in under an hour.
30:36Couldn't have done it without you.
30:38You know, if you started dating before you worked together, it doesn't help as an office romance.
30:45Well, well. Still hanging around. I thought you were too embarrassed to show your face at the after party. Fraud.
30:57Polly, why don't you ask the models what happened backstage tonight?
31:01What are you talking about?
31:03Just ask the models. Any of them.
31:07Oh, and Mia. Don't forget about our agreement. About Miranda and Polly.
31:19To a new beginning social event.
31:28Speaking of new beginnings, Emily's private school application is due next month, right?
31:35I want to help. With their education.
31:38What? This and that. That's too much. You barely know each other.
31:44Victoria, I've known you since we were 17.
31:48I remember watching you win that regional competition. In that silver dress. The one you made from scratch.
31:58I saw the way your eyes lit up when we talked about changing the fashion world.
32:04You remember that?
32:06I remember everything.
32:08I have followed your career all these years just hoping that our paths would cross again.
32:16Why didn't you ever reach out?
32:18Why didn't you ever reach out?
32:20We were married.
32:22And then you once.
32:24And then you were building your career.
32:26Timings.
32:28Is that right?
32:30Until now.
32:32Until now.
32:42I have been away.
32:4420 years to do this.
32:46I should probably get this.
33:10Mia?
33:12God, I was so right about firing Victoria.
33:16That Milan disaster you turn around? Absolute magic.
33:20And now I have an opportunity to put you in the maps for good.
33:24Sean Gosling needs a tuxedo for the Oscars red carpet.
33:30Sean Gosling? Me, Sean Gosling?
33:33The very one.
33:35Three-time Oscar winner.
33:36People's Sexies and Unalive.
33:37And if you play our cards right, the next place in Mia's only goes anywhere.
33:42They're taking pitches now.
33:44If he picks yours, this changes everything.
33:47For you.
33:48For the brand.
33:49Where it is, she'll be in the right too.
33:52You land this.
33:54Vincent and his poor Victoria are done.
33:56Sealed the deal.
33:57I'll bump your pay by $20.
33:59I've got this, Holly.
34:02You won't regret it.
34:05God, what am I gonna do?
34:06I can't design menswear.
34:08I barely pulled off the woman's with Victoria's help.
34:10Miranda and Felina are gone too.
34:11I'm completely on my own.
34:13God, what am I going to do? I can't design menswear.
34:18I barely pulled off the woman's with Victoria's help.
34:21Miranda and Felina are going too. I'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 vehicle over.
34:43Thanks for meeting me. I know things are complicated between us.
35:01You mentioned Miranda and Pauline. Cut to the chase.
35:08We're pitching for Sean's Oscar tax. Miranda and Pauline are also detained.
35:12Miranda's excellent menswear. She can handle this without me.
35:15Please wait, there's no way to it.
35:17After Paris, Holly and someone to blame for the fabric disaster.
35:21Miranda and Pauline are on the chopping block. I've been fighting for them.
35:25Are you serious?
35:27Holly's due any day now.
35:29Trust me, I know. This project is our only shot.
35:32If we land it, I can convince Holly to keep them healthy.
35:35Have you worked with Sean before?
35:37No, but I've heard you have.
35:40Ages ago. I did a jacket for him for the Metcaller.
35:44And actually, I was sketching a new tuxedo concept right before I left me alone at all.
35:49Really? What concept?
35:51Well...
35:56Perfect. She's handing everything over without human realizing. I'll use her design to save my ass and land this project.
36:16Do you still have any of the sketches somewhere?
36:21I do. Actually, I... I took him with me when I left me alone at all.
36:25Wait. Miranda went on maternity leave last week. How exactly is she part of this project?
36:33Well, since she's the best menswear designer we have, Holly's letting her work from home.
36:39Is the company covering her health insurance?
36:42Of course, Vic. Pauline and Miranda's jobs are on the line here.
36:48Who is my dad?
36:52Take all the time you need.
36:54Mia. Don't make me regret trusting you. Again.
37:01Pumpkin, I need a quick favor. Remember that tuxedo sketch I was working on before everything went sideways?
37:23The Sean Gosselin one with the black ties and lapels?
37:27That's the one. Can you check my home office? It should be in the portfolio marked men's formal 2025.
37:34Got it. Grace is napping. The perfect timing.
37:37Thanks, sweetie. I just need to double check a little bit about that.
37:44Shoulder.
37:47Mom, are you okay?
37:53Miranda? Vic?
38:00Mom! Mom! What's going on?
38:03Emily, I'll call you right back.
38:07Miranda, what happened? Why the hell are you scrubbing toilets?
38:11Bills don't pay themselves.
38:13You can make my husband all try and leave no paycheck and now there's a newborn at home.
38:18Mia said you were on maternity leave working remotely on the Gosselin project.
38:24But is 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. Just gone.
38:38That's completely illegal.
38:39Company lawyers said that we all suddenly violated some buried performance laws.
38:46All at once. What are the odds, right?
38:49And Polly, parking nine shifts at 24 hours down here.
38:54Her sister medical bills keep piling up.
38:57And Mia knew about all this.
39:05Mia.
39:07Front row seat when Hal made an announcement.
39:10Didn't even blink.
39:12To Beast admired her shiny new creative director title.
39:16She's been using you and Polly to manipulate me.
39:20Telling me her job depended on me helping her.
39:23What?
39:24What?
39:25That bitch!
39:28This ends now.
39:35Damn it!
39:41Mrs. Michael, this is a ride from Milan.
39:44We need approval by you.
39:46Can't you see I'm working on something important?
39:55What are you all looking at? Get back to work!
40:01Victoria will never treat us like this.
40:05I heard that.
40:07You think Victoria is so perfect?
40:09Then where is she now?
40:11Gone.
40:13Now I'm in charge.
40:14And if anyone has a problem with that, there's the door.
40:17Where is she now?
40:18What the hell is going on here?
40:24What the hell is going on here?
40:26Just a great disagreement. Everything is unusual.
40:30The gossip bitch, tell me it was something presentable.
40:37Of course, I'm just finalizing sleep.
40:39Show me.
40:41It's not quite ready for-
40:42Now.
40:48This is garbage.
40:50Absolute garbage!
40:52I just need a little more time.
40:54We don't have more time.
40:55This is Shawn Gosling we're talking about.
40:58If she then gets this deal instead of us.
41:03What's that?
41:04It'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 a mini designer tomorrow morning,
41:21or pack up your desk by lunch!
41:34I still can't believe I'm using this leverage.
41:55Right on cue.
41:59Meet that sketch ASAP.
42:00Miranda and Pauline's futures depend on it.
42:04The absolute nerve of this woman!
42:09She'll get her sketch.
42:11And that's the one who's been in the trial.
42:25You're early.
42:27Vic, I really need that sketch.
42:30I said I'd help.
42:34Not hand over my design.
42:36Polly's all over me about this.
42:38If I don't have something tonight,
42:40Miranda and Pauline are toast.
42:42Still lying, yeah.
42:44You'd never learn.
42:46Guess it's payback time.
42:48So, do you want my help or not?
42:50I can walk you through it.
42:51Your design could be just as good.
42:53She's such a snake!
42:54My stomach is killing me!
42:56Can you run to the pharmacy and get something, please?
42:58Fine.
42:59But don't touch anything.
43:01No.
43:22Sorry, I...
43:37Survival of the Fills.
43:39You 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.
44:02Go after the same clients.
44:04Show them what real design looks like.
44:07We're not out yet.
44:09Or there's a revolution room.
44:27Figure you can use all the backup you can get.
44:32You're welcome, Mom.
44:33I want you and your team as your men.
44:42Full creative control.
44:45On Miranda, your husband's debt, handled.
44:49And every casino in the country has been told he's not welcome.
44:53Especially, I...
44:54I'm Pauline.
44:57Your sister is in good hands.
45:00The best heart surgeon in the country.
45:02She's already prepping for her next surgery.
45:05Mr. Chevalier!
45:07Thank you!
45:08Don't thank me.
45:10Thank Victoria.
45:11I'm just looking out for the people she believes in.
45:13Vince and I...
45:16I don't even know what to say.
45:20It's about time you all get what you deserve.
45:22I don't want to say most of you.
45:32I don't want help.
45:43I...
46:14And you're still here.
46:31Final tweaks, the pitch goes up tomorrow.
46:37You've got Grace to sleep.
46:42Yeah.
46:44And Emily's almost finished with her algebra.
46:49Maybe new beginnings are so scary after all.
46:57Remember, it's my red academic history.
47:03Maison Laveau sets the bar.
47:06We don't follow trends.
47:08We create them.
47:09Satin black lapels, nod to Mr. Sean Gosling's Metcalfe moment, a blend of tradition and boldness.
47:23I think we can all agree Maison Laveau is back on top.
47:26What 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.
47:47I didn't expect to see you here.
47:50I thought you'd be all tied up with PTA meetings and diaper changes.
47:54I multitask.
47:58Unlike some, I don't need to fire half my staff to feel competent.
48:03You know, Howie, your fresh blood strategies work in wonders.
48:07The office is so empty with echoes.
48:09And the only thing growing at Maison Laveau is the legal risk.
48:15Pregnant woman in Tokyo.
48:17Three excellent employees and one CEO.
48:20What's next?
48:20The base sale?
48:23Laugh all you want, Holly.
48:24You're about to see what real team art looks like.
48:27And what real loyalty looks like.
48:30I don't know.
48:39Sean, I'm glad you could make it.
48:44We have something very special to show you.
48:49Vic.
48:53I thought you just had a beautiful baby girl.
48:56You never know.
48:57Congratulations.
48:58Thank you, Sean.
49:00It's good to see you.
49:02Let's begin the pitches.
49:05You ready to lose?
49:06You're out of your league.
49:07You should know by now, I don't play by your rules.
49:18First up, me and McMichael, Maison Laveau.
49:37Next, Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.
49:50You can do the work.
49:52Both, please.
49:57We'll need a few minutes to discuss.
49:59After careful consideration,
50:06we're rewarding Project 2.
50:10Maison Laveau.
50:12Oh, my God.
50:15This is what we planned all along.
50:18What's it?
50:19What the hell did you people put me in?
50:31Are you trying to kill me?
50:33Mr. Galsing has a serious allergy to synthetic silk.
50:36Who designed this tuxedo?
50:37Did you even read the brief?
50:39I mean, you must have read the brief.
50:44It's not complicated.
50:46It says no synthetic blends.
50:49I mean, there must be some kind of mistake.
50:52Perhaps Mia overlooked something.
50:54A mistake?
50:55I could have been in the emergency room.
50:58Victoria, please,
51:01tell these amateurs
51:02why you pulled your ass.
51:03I pulled my design
51:12because the only fabric left was synthetic.
51:15I'd never risk Mr. Galsing's help
51:17for a deadline.
51:18And that's why Victoria's the best.
51:20She actually pays attention.
51:22After reviewing all the entries,
51:24the committee has reached a decision.
51:26The commission goes to
51:27Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.
51:29That's all right.
51:30Mr. Galsing was just a slip-up.
51:35Mia's design was the front runner all along.
51:38That's why they picked her first.
51:43Maybe everyone should see this.
51:50Wait, Mia,
51:51did you actually steal Victoria's design?
51:58Not so near low.
51:59Even for you.
52:04Nathan Laveau
52:05will be hearing
52:06from my liars.
52:08So you know,
52:10I will be supporting
52:11Victoria's case
52:12for this event.
52:15With all those
52:16reputation is toast.
52:18We're suspending
52:19all collaborations.
52:20We're suspending
52:21all collaborations.
52:23Don't even think about
52:31trying to land
52:32anywhere else.
52:34You're blacklisted.
52:34You're blacklisted.
52:40Victoria, please.
52:49Victoria, please.
52:50I'll do anything.
52:53Please just help me
52:54save the company
52:55the brand
52:55you built
52:56for 50 years.
52:58You made your choices,
52:59Holly.
53:00Now you live with them.
53:04Why would you
53:04have went too far?
53:05John Gosling's look tonight
53:13is a game changer
53:14crafted by the trailblazing team
53:15of Joe Menn.
53:17Social media is already
53:18calling it
53:18the Winter Revolution.
53:19to the best comeback
53:29in fashion history
53:30and to the women
53:31who made it happen.
53:33And to the maternity leave
53:35that actually means something.
53:39Mom,
53:41you might want to see this.
53:42Happy birthday, Victoria.
53:56Happy birthday to you!
54:03Nice.
54:04Look!
54:06Maison Léval on the brink
54:08scandal pushes fashion
54:10giant towards bankruptcy.
54:11Ouch!
54:13I guess Karma
54:14has a sense of humor.
54:16It's strange, isn't it?
54:21I gave them everything.
54:23Late nights,
54:25weekends,
54:26all the best years
54:27and they tossed us aside
54:28like we were nothing.
54:31Now it's all crashing down
54:32and I thought that felt vindicated.
54:35Honestly,
54:35it's a weird mix.
54:37Relief,
54:38sure,
54:39but
54:39also a little bit of grief.
54:42Look,
54:43who said that our best years
54:44are behind us?
54:45Look at this!
54:48The men pushes for
54:49pay, leave,
54:50and parental support
54:51across
54:52all industries.
54:54Victoria,
54:54this is you!
54:56You did this!
54:57Here's to a future
54:59where women don't
55:01have to choose
55:01between our families
55:02and their careers.
55:04Not just for us,
55:05but for every woman
55:06who comes after.
55:09Careful, Vincent.
55:10You must
55:10forgot the best part.
55:17Bye.
55:18Bye.
55:23Victoria Winter.
55:24Will you marry me?
55:33Yes!
55:34A thousand times yes!
55:36Woo!
55:48Woo!
55:49Woo!
55:49Woo!
55:54I love you, Amber!
56:14You came. I thought you'd want to see me leave this.
56:18I came because I wanted to hear it from you.
56:20When word got out, you left. Clients bailed.
56:25The board freed. Numbers taped. I couldn't stop it.
56:30You stood Mace on the boat into this storm, Holly.
56:37I know. I know.
56:41My father...
56:43The stress gave him a heart attack. He won't even speak to me anymore.
56:48I destroyed everything.
56:51My thoughts slashed in costs and saved us, but instead I gutted the company.
56:57I didn't mean to pretend like this.
57:01Maison Lavao isn't dead. I bought it.
57:04Last week.
57:06The brand. The archives. Even the debt.
57:10It's part of your van now.
57:13If you'd be glad, why would you do that?
57:15To make sure that no more women have to suffer because of policies like yours.
57:23You and Victoria.
57:25To help me do better than I did.
57:28I'll do it differently.
57:31Goodbye, Holly.
57:33Miss Winter. I just... I want to thank you.
57:40Because of your campaign, my company gave me maternity leave.
57:43I can keep working and... have my baby.
57:50You changed everything.
57:52Congratulations.
57:53Wishing you and your little one every happens.
57:55ready?
57:56Ready?
