00:22We need 48 hours.
00:24Productions start with these bunch designs.
00:26We're all dead.
00:28Not just fire!
00:30Your company collapses our careers are over!
00:34Come out here and talk to us!
00:36We have 8 million tied up in this election!
00:38Prepare to bash it at your vote!
00:40Right now! One word for me,
00:42your age is poison!
00:57Enough!
00:58Nick!
01:00Mia, Japanese Indigo.
01:04Miranda, call production emergency protocol 7.
01:08Pauline, and Liz Vultures.
01:12Tell the boss to hold all calls any 28 minutes.
01:1828 minutes.
01:2028 minutes?
01:22The whole system takes 50 to reboot.
01:2427 now.
01:26Tick tock.
01:2827 minutes.
01:3827 minutes.
01:40Holy shit!
01:42Pre-orders are flooding in.
01:44This will shatter every record.
01:46.
01:48What?
01:52I swear to God, you're not human.
01:5427 minutes!
01:5627 minutes.
01:57Holy shit.
01:58Pre-orders are flooding in.
02:00This will shatter every record.
02:02What? Are you okay?
02:07Just Braxton Hicks and...
02:11Oh my god, your water broke!
02:21Mom, you were seriously in active labor while saving the entire company?
02:26Multitasking is my superpower pumpkin?
02:30Dad called. He won't let you know if we should come, but...
02:35I told him that he lost his visiting privileges since he decided that his assistance then was more comfortable than ours.
02:43That's my girl.
02:53Well, the company's yours now, Holly, but there's a condition.
02:59We need to slash costs. Immediately.
03:03Layoffs?
03:07That's it without leave.
03:09Oh, Dad, I know exactly where to start our cuts.
03:13Well, just remember, whoever cleaned up that Malayan disaster, they get immunity.
03:19In fact, um...
03:22They deserve a promotion.
03:26No way this Victoria went or saved the company since she's not even there.
03:34Boss, the Mulan collection crisis? Averted.
03:38Pre-orders are pouring in.
03:39You saved the entire collection? Impressive.
03:43Oh, actually...
03:45How about I make you the new creative director?
03:47Starting today.
03:49Oh my god, is this really happening?
03:53She's offering Victoria's job?
03:55I can finally get rid of that bitch hanging over my head?
03:58But... Victoria...
03:59Don't worry about her.
04:00I'm not useless.
04:01I'm gonna sell fire.
04:02You know that collection I just rescued up?
04:03I hid something in the design.
04:04Your initials and now little graces.
04:05Who have lightened up the fabric.
04:06I hid...
04:29And asking you a long runway?
04:31Plus, the bonus from this collection is substantial.
04:34is substantial, and not fearful to wish in a private school.
04:38Mom, we have to.
04:40We're going to that private school.
04:42No discussion.
04:44Your sister and I will manage just fine.
04:47This job will keep us apart.
04:49I love you, Mom.
04:51Holy 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.
05:21Look, I'm going to fire every single one of them.
05:35What the hell?
05:37Listen up, everyone.
05:38Victoria Winter is terminated.
05:41Effective immediately.
05:43You can't just do that.
05:45She's in the hospital having her baby.
05:47They're a loss against this.
05:49Vic worked while in labor.
05:52She's a creative backbone of his own little.
05:55Maternity leave, medical insurance, these preggos are bleeding us dry.
06:01Everything okay here?
06:05Great timing.
06:07Victoria Winter, you're fired.
06:10Clear out your desk now.
06:19You're Matthew's daughter, aren't you?
06:22I saved this company three times when your father couldn't be here.
06:26Three times.
06:30Whoa.
06:31That's ancient history.
06:33The world wants fresh blood.
06:35And me eager to save the entire long collection.
06:43What?
06:44I'm the one who...
06:45Me eager to save you.
06:46Me eager to save you.
06:47Me eager to save you.
06:48Me eager to save you.
06:49Me eager to save you.
06:50Feel that curve.
06:51That's the signature.
06:52That's what makes it be some love of her.
06:53How could you?
06:54I taught you everything you know.
06:55I wish things were different, Vic.
06:56I should've thought about your career before I got into pregnant.
06:57No.
06:58I...
06:59What happens to my team?
07:00We're all in the room.
07:01No!
07:02No!
07:03No!
07:04No!
07:05No!
07:06No!
07:07No!
07:08No!
07:09No!
07:10No!
07:11I don't know!
07:12No!
07:13No!
07:14No!
07:15No!
07:16No!
07:17No!
07:18No!
07:19No!
07:20No!
07:21No!
07:22No!
07:23No!
07:24No!
07:25No!
07:26Miranda pulled all managed for a month straight working on your father's exclusive collections.
07:31Things were so bad she had to get hair implants.
07:35Pauline had to cancel her own wedding because of a company meeting at the Louvre.
07:40These jobs and their lifelines, health insurance, paid maternity leave, basic human dignity!
07:45You can't just throw them away!
07:48Actually, legally speaking, we can.
07:51No mandated paid maternity leave, no rail protection today.
07:55Then corporate America for you.
07:57Or we can shift the math.
08:00You sign, they stay, the budget works out.
08:05Think of it as taking one for the team.
08:10Miranda's still drowning in her husband's deaths.
08:13And Pauline's sister still needs another surgery.
08:16They can't lose their jobs.
08:19Come on, babe. You say you care about them.
08:25Prove it.
08:27I love you.
08:29You're a lawyer.
08:31You say you do want to be a lawyer.
08:33You go for it.
08:35You don't want to lose your duty.
08:37I love you.
08:39I need myuline…
08:41I love you.
08:43See you.
08:44I love you.
08:45I love you.
08:47I love you.
08:48Hi Fred, that's my 7th package after 15 years, that's what it worth to?
09:18Be careful, I got you.
09:29Vincent?
09:31Vincent Chevalier?
09:33Hi.
09:36High school feels like not a lifetime, doesn't it?
09:43So, it's true, the great Vittoria Winter has been shown the door after single-handedly saving
09:56we saw in the Rose Milan collection.
10:01How do you feel about not having to answer to single-minded executives anymore?
10:07Someone with your kind of talent shouldn't be treated like this.
10:12What are you getting at exactly?
10:15I'm talking about you and me.
10:19Partners, you're genius, my money.
10:24No corporate BS, no one holding you back.
10:32I thought it made me think about now.
10:35Now I have an empty corner office with you and an attached nursery.
10:41Just saying.
10:46Vincent Chevalier, wow!
10:48You didn't miss that just in the head of Chauvin.
10:50Our corporate nexus is scrolling into the office.
10:53Got your spine here?
10:54Don't mind me, I'm just giving Victoria here a soft landing.
11:02Triple her salary, corner office.
11:05Before the vultures at LB or Chanel swoop in.
11:09So you're dumpster diving now, rescuing a washed up single mom with outdated ideas?
11:16Wow, it's an interesting take to have considering you wearing Victoria's designs head to toe.
11:21I mean the jacket, it's Victoria's spring collection, right?
11:27The earrings, it's Victoria's collaboration with Cartier.
11:30If her work is so far beneath you, 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.
11:54What did you design?
11:55The spring collection.
11:57The Cartier pieces.
11:59I designed them.
12:00Under your supervision of course, but they came from me.
12:04Oops.
12:05Looks like you've been backing your own horse, Vincent.
12:08I thought you were better than this, Mia.
12:12Let me explain my signature.
12:14On the original sketch dated six months ago.
12:22So what, sketches get past her all the time, it doesn't prove squat.
12:26Maybe she was in the middle, what do they call it?
12:29The dress design?
12:31And the logo?
12:34The EW, woven in.
12:37Victoria's signature mark.
12:39It's been on every major piece she's designed for years.
12:42Mommy, explain it.
12:43Maybe shut up.
12:44It's funny, all those pieces from the Milan collection that everyone's losing their heart,
12:54they all have EW and GW similar too.
12:57Victoria's daughter is Emily Winter.
13:01Her newborn is Grace Winter.
13:04It's just quite a coincidence that those initials should appear in all your designs, Mia.
13:10Is there a special EW and GW in your life too?
13:14Well Mia, tell them.
13:15Tell them you designed this.
13:17Tell them you saved Milan.
13:19The logo, it's, it's adapted based on traditional motifs.
13:27You lying little bitch!
13:29Back in motion is for saving the company.
13:32Look at the logo again.
13:38It's not EW or GW.
13:41It's actually two M's.
13:44MM for McMichael, my last name.
13:48See?
13:49One M flipped.
13:50One up right.
13:51It's not for Grace or Emily.
13:53It's mine.
13:54That is absolutely ridiculous.
13:55Oh my gosh, she's right.
13:56It does look more like two M's.
13:57You manipulate me.
13:58She really thought you could steal the credit for my star designer.
13:59You learned well Mia.
14:00Maybe two M's.
14:01Maybe two M's.
14:02Maybe two M's.
14:03You'll regret this.
14:04Mom, it's me.
14:05We don't have to seem terrible.
14:06Let me driving home here.
14:07After her as I say.
14:08I got this.
14:09You shouldn't need to anymore.
14:10I got this.
14:11You're not a scientist.
14:12Me too.
14:13Maybe two M's.
14:14Oh my gosh, she's right.
14:15It does look more like two M's.
14:16Oh my gosh she's right.
14:17It does look more like two M's.
14:18You manipulated me.
14:20She really thought you could steal credit from my star designer.
14:21You learned well Mia.
14:22Maybe two M's.
14:23You'll regret this.
14:24A lot of us.
14:25We don't have to seek to death.
14:27I'm sorry.
14:28We don't have to seek to death.
14:29Okay.
14:30Well I'm driving over here.
14:31I forgot my autographs outside.
14:32you shouldn't be carrying it through.
14:39Congratulations on your promotion, Mia.
14:43Just take care of my honor of Paula, will you?
14:48That's right, get the hell out of my company!
14:51Go lead your 401k somewhere else.
14:59Paula, Victoria.
15:02V.I.P. in the station, Paris Fashion Week.
15:06Front row, I think you'll find it.
15:09Lightning.
15:18Every pregnant woman fired.
15:21All of us, just like that.
15:24No severance, no warning, nothing.
15:27But a box of insecurity, Esker.
15:29Esker.
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 may be ready to start.
15:43Now, I'm not going to slash you again.
15:46The signs are eerily related.
15:47She'll catch her legs close.
15:48Oh my god, Mom.
15:49This is insane.
15:50I can't believe we're actually here.
15:51Victoria Winter.
15:52The nuclear dick.
15:53Your mom's basically a legend.
15:54You know that, right?
15:55Yeah.
15:56Yeah.
15:57We've been taking bets on where you'll land after Maison Leval.
15:58Their loss is definitely someone else's jackpot.
15:59Wait.
16:00Maison Leval?
16:01Wait.
16:02Wait.
16:03Maison Leval?
16:04Well, well.
16:05The queen of the latter crowd raises us with her presence.
16:06Great with you to show up.
16:07Oh my god, Mom.
16:08Oh my god, Mom.
16:09This is insane.
16:10I can't believe we're actually here.
16:11Victoria Winter.
16:12The nuclear dick.
16:13Your mom's basically a legend.
16:14You know that, right?
16:15Yeah.
16:16We've been taking bets on where you'll land after Maison Leval.
16:18Their loss is definitely someone else's jackpot.
16:22Wait.
16:23Maison Leval?
16:26Well, well.
16:27The queen of the latter crowd raises us with her presence.
16:30Great with you to show up here.
16:32What's next?
16:33Applying for retail jobs at the mall?
16:37Leaving so soon.
16:38You haven't introduced me to your princess.
16:42Mom, you're still dealing with her little career update about getting canned for not cutting it anymore?
16:50Mom, is that true?
16:51Don't worry.
16:54She'll explain once she figures out how to keep paying your tuition bills.
16:58Ladies and gentlemen, Victoria Winter.
17:01Still pretending she matters.
17:07My mom is one of the most talented designers in this entire room.
17:11If Miss Unable was putting people like you in charge of the business, then maybe deserves to crush and burn!
17:18Well, look at that.
17:19It seems entitlement runs in the family.
17:22Say whatever you want about me, but leave my daughter out of it.
17:26That's got a stain, huh?
17:28Exposed as unemployed in front of your kid who worships you like some kind of hero?
17:32But hey, good news.
17:33There's a factory down the street that's always looking for hardworking children.
17:38If paying the bills is getting tough, maybe send her over there.
17:42That's enough!
17:43You've always been a fraud, Victoria. You never belonged in this world.
17:53Look at her. A jobless single mom still pretending she can afford couture.
17:58That dress...
18:01That's a cheap knockoff.
18:04Wearing fakes to Paris Fashion Week is not just pathetic.
18:08It's insulting to everyone here who actually deserves to be here.
18:11What the hell do you think you're doing?
18:16Remove that dress!
18:19We don't tolerate counterfeits in this industry.
18:23Hey, stop it! Let go of my mom!
18:25Come on!
18:27Let's see what garbage is really hiding under that dress.
18:30Take your hands off her now.
18:35Come and sit.
18:41You're dismissed.
18:50You're alright.
18:51Jesus Christ, that's Vincent Chamellier.
18:55The reclusive leader who never shows up anywhere?
18:58What the hell is he doing with Victoria?
19:00That knockoff?
19:02That you're so near to trash her for?
19:04It's Chauvenne.
19:06Of Couture. Winter Collection.
19:08Not even released yet.
19:10Bustette?
19:12I don't know.
19:14I don't know.
19:16I don't know.
19:17I don't know.
19:18What?
19:19Bustette?
19:21300,000.
19:22Wow!
19:24You gave her that.
19:25That's right.
19:27I did.
19:29I would give her the entire damn collection if she wanted it.
19:33Oh my god, everyone mystery solved.
19:36Victoria's backed herself a sugar daddy!
19:39Mr. Billionaire's not a white knight.
19:41He's her walking trust fund.
19:44Victoria's sleeping her way in the top.
19:48It's just so predictably desperate.
19:54You really don't understand real talent, do you?
19:58For those of you who don't know me,
20:01I'm Vincent Chamellier.
20:03CEO of Chamellier.
20:06Yes.
20:08I have been in love with Victoria Winter since high school.
20:11I have followed your career from a distance for years.
20:16Your brilliance.
20:18Your principles.
20:20Your passion.
20:22Victoria, there is no one else like you in this entire industry.
20:26Mom, did you know about this?
20:28I'm not going to pursue anything until she's ready.
20:32But in the meantime, what I will do
20:35is ensure that her incredible talent has the platform that it deserves.
20:38She won't let you down, boss.
20:41You're making a complete ass of yourself, Chamellier.
20:47She's nothing but a has-been.
20:49The show's about to start.
20:52Your seats are waiting.
20:58Holy shit.
20:59The industry gold boy and the creative powerhouse together?
21:03Talk about a power couple.
21:05They come in the entire industry.
21:08This isn't over, bitch.
21:10Wait till we see what I've prepared for you.
21:12You seriously didn't love my mom since high school?
21:29Some talents.
21:31You 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.
21:51It's true.
21:53She took my work and passed it off as her own.
21:55I've slaved away on those designs day and night.
22:01And Victoria had the nerve to pass them off as her own.
22:06That's just particularly iceberg, isn't it, Victoria?
22:12Your entire career is based on lies and manipulation.
22:16That's enough, Holly.
22:17Everyone thinks you're this creative genius, but I know what you really are.
22:23Their personal life is just as fake as the so-called talent.
22:28Did you know she slept with half the executives in the industry?
22:32That's her real design strategy.
22:35Stop it, Holly. You're embarrassing yourself.
22:37And those kids she's so proud of, who knows who their real fathers are?
22:42How get you?
22:44It's a disaster in there. There's something wrong with the collection. It's the fabric.
22:54Not now.
23:00The primary fabrics are disintegrating under the lights.
23:04The dresses are literally falling apart.
23:07We've only got 50 minutes left until showtime.
23:09Is this some kind of sick joke in the world?
23:12You can't send the show because you're incompetent?
23:14This is completely unprofessional.
23:17I have 10 million invested in this collection.
23:20This is breach of contract.
23:24It's actually fixable.
23:28You can't seriously be thinking about helping with backstabbing vultures.
23:31Breaking news from Paris Fashion Week.
23:34Mason Villefort appears to be employed underneath new leadership.
23:36Sources say the entire collection may be canceled.
23:38Minutes before showtime.
23:40The question on everyone's mind?
23:41Is this the end for the most prestigious fashioners?
23:43This show doesn't happen?
23:44You're personally liable for the breach of practice.
23:48We're talking billions, all.
23:50Loads.
23:53If this show doesn't happen, you're personally liable for the Breach Antis.
23:57We're talking films, homie.
23:59Clones.
24:23What's this?
24:25Now.
24:27How? The fiber supplier must have sent us affected materials.
24:31I can't magically make redresses in an hour.
24:35You have exactly 30 minutes to make this work.
24:38If you don't, those Breach Antis 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, I'm already fired.
24:50I'll make sure you never work in fashion again.
24:53Miss Winter, how do you respond to accusations over design theft?
25:08Is there any truth to Holly Jenkins' claims about your personal life?
25:12Please respect Miss Winter's privacy.
25:15And for the record, you'll all soon see who the real thief is.
25:19We're gathering evidence as we speak.
25:22Excuse me.
25:23Excuse me.
25:24It's okay.
25:25I'll be right.
25:26What do you want, Mia?
25:28Vic?
25:29I really need your help.
25:30Funny way to ask for a favor after that stunt you just pulled.
25:31Look.
25:32I know you're furious.
25:33I would be too.
25:34But think about Miranda and believe for a second.
25:35I would be too.
25:36I would be too.
25:37But think about Miranda and believe for a second.
25:38It's okay.
25:39It's okay.
25:40It's okay.
25:41I'll be right.
25:42What do you want, Mia?
25:43What do you want, Mia?
25:44Vic?
25:45I really need your help.
25:46Funny way to ask for a favor after that stunt you just pulled.
25:47Look.
25:48I know you're furious.
25:49I would be too.
25:50But think about Miranda and believe for a second.
25:51What about them?
25:52Their jobs are on the line with this show.
25:53If we tank, they're done.
25:54Holly will fire them without a second thought.
25:55Please.
25:56If you care about them keeping their jobs, just don't hold this out with you.
25:57Miranda and Holly are responsible for the show.
25:58Yes, absolutely.
25:59And they're counting on this being a hit.
26:00I'm not sure what I'm going to do.
26:01I'll be too.
26:02I'll be too.
26:03I'll be too.
26:04I'm not sure what I'm going to do.
26:05I'll be too.
26:06I'll be too.
26:07What do you want?
26:08I'll be too.
26:09I'll be too.
26:10I'll be too.
26:11I'll be too.
26:12But think about Miranda and believe for a second.
26:13What about them?
26:14Their jobs are on the line with this show.
26:15If we tank, they're done.
26:16Holly will fire them without a second thought.
26:18Please.
26:19Miranda and Holly are responsible for the show.
26:22Yes.
26:23Absolutely.
26:24And they're counting on this being a hit.
26:26Please.
26:27Not for me.
26:28For that.
26:29At all.
26:30I would have expected them to be here in Paris, you know, for such a make or break show.
26:35What exactly happened to them yet?
26:41They couldn't make it.
26:43Holly could the travel budget.
26:46Is that right?
26:48Victoria.
26:49I know I don't deserve your help.
26:53They do.
26:55Fine.
26:57I'll help.
26:58But I'm doing this to Miranda and Holly.
27:01Not for you.
27:13Oh my god.
27:14It's Victoria Winter.
27:15The Nuclear VEC.
27:17I need scissors, thread, and fresh lining fabric.
27:20Now.
27:27I need royal fuchsia for this stitching.
27:29Regular fuchsia won't work this fabric.
27:32Does anyone have royal fuchsia thread?
27:34Do you miss work?
27:35Vincent.
27:36How did you?
27:37I figured you might need some supplies, so I had my assistant bring over Jovan as an emergency
27:49kit.
27:50This is perfect, but Jovan made some of our competitors.
27:51Why would you help them?
27:53I'm not helping them.
27:54I'm helping you.
27:55I'm helping you.
27:56I can't ask you to do this without giving me something in return.
27:57I have a design I've been saving.
27:58Something special I've never shown anyone.
27:59It's yours now.
28:00I don't want your design, Victoria.
28:01Then what do you want?
28:03Then what do you want?
28:04You.
28:05You.
28:06You.
28:07You.
28:08You.
28:09You.
28:10You.
28:11You.
28:12You're a talent.
28:13I have a design I've been saving. Something special I've never shown anyone. It's yours now.
28:20I don't want your design, Victoria.
28:23Then what do you want?
28:26You.
28:29What?
28:33You're a talent. You're a vision. Come and work as you then.
28:39I'm in. I'll work for you.
28:43Just like that.
28:44Just like that.
28:45Now, I'm gonna be finishing my final job for Miss Olivelle.
29:13She's doing it in minutes. What would take us hours?
29:20Whoa. No wonder they call it 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 show time. We made it.
29:38Well? Do we call the plug or not?
29:53We're good. Everything's back on track.
29:55See?
29:56I knew firing Victoria was the right call. You got twice your talent.
30:02Yeah. Right.
30:04This is exactly why I'm promoting you.
30:08You need big sexes, not makeup.
30:17To Victoria.
30:18Victoria. The real hero of mine.
30:31Mom, you're insane. I can't believe you actually picked that disaster in under an hour.
30:37Couldn't have done it without you.
30:40You know, if you start dating before you work together, it doesn't help as an office romance.
30:50Well, well. Still hanging around.
30:53I thought you were too embarrassed to show your face at the after party.
30:56Fraud.
30:58Holly, why don't you ask the models what happened backstage tonight?
31:02What are you talking about?
31:04Just ask the models. Any of them.
31:06Any of them.
31:08Oh, and Mia.
31:10Don't forget about our agreement.
31:12About Miranda and Pauline.
31:14Any of them.
31:20Two new beginnings such as that?
31:29Speaking of new beginnings.
31:31Emily's private school application is due next month, right?
31:36I want to help.
31:37With their education.
31:39What?
31:40This and that.
31:41That's too much.
31:42You better know each other.
31:44Victoria.
31:46I've known you since we were 17.
31:50I remember watching you win that regional competition.
31:55In that silver dress.
31:57The one you made from scratch.
31:58I saw the way your eyes lit up when we talked about changing the fashion world.
32:05You remember that?
32:07I remember everything.
32:09I have followed your career all these years just hoping that our paths would cross again.
32:18Why didn't you ever reach out?
32:19Why didn't you ever reach out?
32:21You were married.
32:24And then you weren't.
32:26And then you were building your career.
32:28The timing just...
32:30Is that right?
32:32Until now.
32:33I have been waiting for 20 years to do this.
32:46I should probably get this.
33:10Mia?
33:11Yes.
33:14God, I was so right about firing Victoria.
33:17That Milan disaster you turned around?
33:19Absolute magic.
33:21And now I have an opportunity to put you in the maps.
33:24They're good.
33:26Sean Gosling needs a taxi for the Oscars right carpet.
33:31Sean Gosling?
33:33Me? Sean Gosling?
33:34The very one.
33:35Three-time Oscar winner.
33:36People's sexy is not alive.
33:38And if you put your cards right, the next place in Mia's only goes anywhere.
33:43They're taking pitches now.
33:45If he picks yours, this changes everything.
33:48For you.
33:49For the brand.
33:51Where it is?
33:52Joven's in the right too.
33:54You land this?
33:55Vincent and his poor Victoria are done.
34:01Seal the deal?
34:02I'll bump your pay by 20%.
34:05I've got this, Holly.
34:06You won't regret it.
34:15God, what am I going to do?
34:17I can't design menswear.
34:19I barely pulled off the woman's with Victoria's help.
34:22Moran and Felina are gone too.
34:24I'm completely on my own.
34:25If Holly bought that I saved Milan and fixed Paris when it was all Victoria, maybe I can squeeze one more miracle over it.
34:36I'll help you, your girlfriend.
34:37I love you, your girlfriend.
34:43Hmm?
34:45Hmm?
34:47Huh?
34:49Huh?
34:51Huh?
34:53Thanks for meeting me. I know things are complicated between us.
34:55Thanks for meeting me, I know things are complicated between us.
35:02You mentioned Miranda and Pauline?
35:04Cut to the chase.
35:09We're pitching for Sean's Oscar tax.
35:11Miranda and Pauline are also dead.
35:13Miranda is excellent with men, so I should handle this without me.
35:15Please, wait, there's no to it.
35:17After Paris, Pauline is sent to blame for the fabric disaster.
35:21Miranda and Pauline are on the chopping block.
35:24I've been fighting for them.
35:26Are you serious?
35:27Pauline's due any day now.
35:29Trust me, I know. This project is our only shot.
35:32If we land it, I can convince Pauline 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 frame for the Med Gala.
35:44Actually, I was sketching a new tuxedo concept right before I left me on the ball.
35:49Really? What concept?
35:54Well...
35:56Perfect, she's handing everything over without even realizing.
36:13I'll use her design to save my ass and land this project.
36:17Do you still have any of the sketches in her?
36:21I do. Actually, I took them with me when I left me on the ball.
36:26Wait. Miranda went on maternity leave last week. How exactly is she part of this project?
36:34Well, since she's the best menswear designer we have, Holly's letting her work from home.
36:40Is the company covering your health insurance?
36:43Of course, Vic.
36:45Pauline and Miranda's jobs are on the line here.
36:49Who is my dad?
36:53Take all the time you need.
36:55Mia...
36:57Don't make me regret trusting you.
36:59Again.
37:01Pumpkin, I need a quick favor.
37:07Remember that tuxedo sketch I was working on before everything went sideways?
37:11The Sean Gosselin one with the black ties and lapels?
37:14That's the one. Can you check my home office? It should be in the portfolio marked mens for
37:33World 2025.
37:34Got it. Grace is snacking. The perfect timing.
37:38Thanks, sweetie. I just need to double check something about that.
37:44Shoulder.
37:48Mom, are you okay?
37:54Miranda? Vic?
38:01Mom! Mom! What's going on?
38:04Emily, I'll call you right back.
38:08Miranda, what happened? Why the hell are you scrubbing toilets?
38:12Bills don't pay themselves.
38:14You met my husband.
38:15Old child with no paycheck.
38:17And now there's a newborn at home.
38:20Mia said you were on maternity leave working remotely on the Carlson project.
38:25But...is this a story she's spinning now?
38:28After you left, she fired every pregnant woman in the company.
38:34No severance, no copper, nothing. Just gone.
38:38That's completely illegal.
38:41Company lawyers said that we all suddenly violated some very performance laws.
38:46All at once. What are the odds, right?
38:49And Polly, parking night shifts at 24 hours down here.
38:55Her 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 be said by her shiny new creative director title.
39:15She's been using you and Polly to manipulate me.
39:20Telling me her job depended on me helping her.
39:24What?
39:25That bitch!
39:28This ends now.
39:35Damn it!
39:41Ms. Michael.
39:42This is a ride from Milan.
39:44We need a group of lightning for that.
39:47Can't you see I'm working on something important?
39:59What are you all looking at? Get back to work!
40:02Victoria will never treat us like this.
40:06I heard that.
40:07You think Victoria is so perfect?
40:10Then where is she now?
40:12Gone.
40:13Now I'm in charge.
40:14And if anyone has a problem with that, there's the door.
40:16There's the door.
40:25What the hell is going on here?
40:27Just a great disagreement.
40:29Everything is unruful.
40:31The gossip bitch.
40:32Tell me it was something presentable.
40:38Of course, I'm just finalizing Steve.
40:40Show me.
40:42It's not quite anything.
40:43Now.
40:49This is garbage.
40:51Absolute garbage.
40:53I just need a little more time.
40:54I don't have more time.
40:55This is Shawn Gosling we're talking about.
40:57If she then gets this deal instead of us.
41:00What's that?
41:10It's just some inspiration I recorded for the design.
41:13I don't care if you have to sell your soul to the devil, get me when I design you tomorrow morning, or pack up your desk by lunch.
41:26I still can't believe I'm using this as leverage.
41:27I still can't believe I'm using this as leverage.
41:31I still can't believe I'm using this as leverage.
41:32Right on cue.
41:33I still can't believe I'm using this as leverage.
41:34Right on cue.
41:35Meet that sketch ASAP.
41:36Miranda and Pauline's futures depend on it.
41:37I still can't believe I'm using this as leverage.
41:38I still can't believe I'm using this as leverage.
41:42I still can't believe I'm using this as leverage.
41:43I still can't believe I'm using this as leverage.
41:44I still can't believe I'm using this as leverage.
41:49Right on cue.
41:52Meet that sketch ASAP.
41:53Miranda and Pauline's futures depend on it.
41:54The absolute nerve of this woman.
41:56She'll get her sketch.
41:57And that's where we're sitting in the trap.
41:58You're early.
41:59Beg.
42:00You're early.
42:01Beg.
42:02You're early.
42:03Beg.
42:04You're early.
42:05Beg.
42:06You're early.
42:07Beg.
42:08You're early.
42:09Beg.
42:27I really need that sketch.
42:37I said I'd help.
42:38Not hand over my design.
42:40Polly's all over me about this.
42:42If I don't have something tonight, Miranda and Pauline are toast.
42:47Still lying, you.
42:49You'd never learn.
42:50Guess it's payback time.
42:52So, do you want my help or not?
42:55I can walk you through it.
42:57Your design could be just as good.
42:58She's such a snake.
43:00My stomach is killing me.
43:04Can you run to the pharmacy and get something please?
43:07Fine.
43:08But don't touch anything.
43:25Pensate.
43:26Sorry.
43:27Survival fails.
43:29You just let her take your work?
43:31She walked out with exactly one time.
43:33Maybe?
43:34Or maybe?
43:35I'm fine.
43:36No, I'm fine.
43:37Any other questions?
43:38No, I'm fine.
43:39If you liked it, I'm fine.
43:41Tell me.
43:42I'm fine.
43:43You killed me.
43:44You killed me?
43:45No, I'm fine.
43:46Don't touch anything.
43:47I'm fine.
43:48No, I'm fine.
43:49It's day.
43:50I'm fine.
43:51You killed me?

46:07And you're still here.
46:31Final tweaks, the pitch goes up tomorrow.
46:35You've got Grace to sleep.
46:42Yeah.
46:44And Emily's almost finished with her algebra.
46:49Maybe new beginnings aren't so scary after all.
46:57Remember, smile, right after the history.
47:03Maison Laveau sets the bar.
47:06We don't follow trends, we create them.
47:10Satin black lapels, nod to Mr. Sean Gosling's Metcalfe moment, a blend of tradition and boldness.
47:22I think we can all agree Maison Laveau is back on top.
47:29What is that bitch doing here?
47:38Thank you, Mr. Jenkins, for clearing out your best talent.
47:42My company is thriving because of your generosity.
47:48Didn't expect to see you here without you all tied up with PTA meetings and diaper changes.
47:55I multitask.
47:56Unlike some, I don't need to fire half my staff to feel competent.
48:02You know, Holly, your fresh blood strategies work you wonders.
48:07The office is so empty, it echoes.
48:10And the only thing growing at Maison Laveau is the legal risk.
48:14Pregnant woman in Tokyo.
48:16Three excellent employees and one CEO.
48:19What's next?
48:20The base sale?
48:22Laugh all you want, Holly.
48:24You're about to see what real team art looks like.
48:27And what real loyalty looks like.
48:29Sean, glad you could make it.
48:44We have something very special to show you.
48:50Vic.
48:54I 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.
49:08You should know by now, I don't play by your rules.
49:18First up, me and McMichael, Maison Laveau.
49:28Next, Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.
49:29Next, Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.
49:41Pauline.
49:51Do you need to walk?
49:52Both, please.
49:58We'll need a few minutes to discuss.
50:04After careful consideration,
50:06we're rewarding Project 2
50:08Let's all go.
50:12Yes!
50:13Oh my god!
50:15This is what we planned all along.
50:28What 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?
50:42I mean...
50:43You must have read the brief.
50:44It's not complicated.
50:46It says no synthetic blends.
50:49I mean...
50:50Must be some kind of mistake.
50:52Perhaps Mia overlooked something.
50:54A mistake?
50:55That could have ended up in the emergency room.
50:58Victoria...
50:59Victoria...
51:00Please...
51:01Tell these amateurs...
51:02Why you pulled your glasses off.
51:11I pulled my design because the only fabric left was synthetic.
51:15I'd never risk Mr. Galsing's help for a deadline.
51:17And that's why Victoria is the best.
51:19She actually pays attention.
51:22After reviewing all the entries, the committee has reached a decision.
51:26The commission goes to...
51:27Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.
51:29Victoria.
51:30I'll do it.
51:33Mr. 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.
51:45Wait...
51:46Mia...
51:47Did you actually steal Victoria's design?
51:50Wait...
51:51Mia...
51:52Did you actually steal Victoria's design?
51:58Not so near low.
51:59Even for you.
52:04Nathan on the whole.
52:06We'll be hearing from my liars.
52:08And so you know...
52:10I will be supporting Victoria's case for design theft.
52:16With all those, reputation is toast.
52:19We're suspending all collaborations.
52:31Don't even think about trying to land anywhere else.
52:34You're blacklisted.
52:40I'm sorry.
52:45Victoria, please.
52:49Victoria, please.
52:52I'll do anything, please.
52:53Just help me save the company, the brand you built for 50 years.
52:58You made your choices, Holly.
53:00Now you live with them.
53:04Why would you have been too far?
53:05Sean Gauzing's look tonight is a game changer crafted by the trailblazing team at Joven.
53:16Social media is already calling it the Winter Revolution.
53:19The Winter Revolution.
53:28To the best comeback in fashion history.
53:31And to the women who made it happen.
53:33And to the maternity leave that actually means something.
53:36Mom.
53:37You might want to see this.
53:38Happy birthday, Victoria.
53:39Happy birthday, Victoria.
53:40Happy birthday to you!
53:42Nice!
53:43Look!
53:44Maison Laveau on the Brink.
53:45Scandal pushes fashion giant towards bankruptcy.
53:46Ouch!
53:47I guess Karma has a sense of humor.
53:50Happy birthday, Victoria.
53:56Happy birthday to you!
54:02Guys, look!
54:06Maison Lévois on the brink?
54:08Scandal pushes fashion and diet towards bankruptcy.
54:12Ouch! I guess Karma has a sense of humor.
54:16Strange, isn't it?
54:20I gave them everything. Late nights, weekends, all the best years and they tossed us aside like we were nothing.
54:30Now it's all crashing down, I thought I'd feel vindicated.
54:35Honestly, it's a weird mix.
54:38Relief, sure, but also a little bit of grief.
54:42Look, who said that our best years are behind us? Look at this!
54:47She then pushes for paid leave and parental support across all industries.
54:54Victoria, this is you! You did this!
54:58Here's to a future where women don't have to choose between our families and their careers.
55:04Not just for us, but for every woman who comes after.
55:07Careful, Vincent. You must find out the best part.
55:16Bye.
55:19Victoria Winter.
55:25Will you marry me?
55:28Will you marry me?
55:33Yes!
55:34A thousand times yes!
55:35Woo!
55:36Woo!
55:37Woo!

55:50I've spent Amber!
56:13I came. I thought you'd want to see me leave this.
56:16seen the weakness. I came because I wanted to hear it from you. When word got out you left,
56:23clients bailed. The board freed, numbers taped. I couldn't stop it. You stood Mace on the boat
56:33into this storm, Holly. I know, I know. My father, the stress gave him a heart
56:46attack. He won't even speak to me anymore. I destroyed everything. My thoughts slash and
56:53cost and save us, but instead I gutted the company. I didn't mean to pretend like this.
57:01Mace on Lavao is a debt. I bought it. Last week. The brand, the archives, even the debt. It's part of
57:11your van now. Why would you do that? To make sure that no more women have to suffer because of policies
57:20like yours. You and Victoria, they helped me do better than I did. I'll do it differently. Goodbye, Holly.
57:41Miss Winter, I just, I want to thank you. Because of your campaign, my company gave me maternity leave.
57:59I can keep working and have my baby. You changed everything.
58:06Miss Winter, I just, I want to thank you. Congratulations. Wishing you and your little one every how it gets.
