Laid Off While Pregnant Us
Transcript
00:00Oh shit! No no no no no!
00:12Oh, the system crashed the new upload!
00:15The collection was the wrong season!
00:17We want everything!
00:20Come on Ron, waiting for 48 hours!
00:24Your production started with these botched designs,
00:27They're all dead. Not just fire, they're dead.
00:30Help me to access our careers are over!
00:33Come out here and talk to us! We have 8 million tied up in this election!
00:38I am the Bastion at your boat right now!
00:41One word for me, you're ancient poison!
00:57Enough!
00:59Vic!
01:01Mia, Japanese Indigo.
01:04Miranda, call production emergency protocol 7.
01:08Pauline, and Liz Vultures.
01:15Tell the boss to hold all calls any 28 minutes.
01:1928 minutes? The whole system takes 50 to reboot.
01:2327 now. Tick tock.
01:27Oh, okay.
01:45Ventham, crisis averted.
01:47I swear to God, you are not here.
01:5127 minutes!
01:52Holy shit! Pre-orders are flooding in!
01:55This will shatter every record.
02:03Beth?
02:04Are you okay?
02:07Just practice an accent.
02:13Oh my god, your water broke.
02:15Mom, you were seriously in active labor while saving the entire company?
02:26Multi-tasking is my superpower pumpkin?
02:31Dad called. He wanted to know if we should come, but...
02:35I told him that he lost his visiting privileges since he decided that his assistance man was more comfortable than ours.
02:42That's my girl.
02:53Well, the company's yours now, Holly.
02:55But there's a condition for it.
02:59We need to slash costs.
03:01Immediately.
03:03Layoffs?
03:07That's it without leave.
03:09Oh, Dad, I know exactly where to start our cuts.
03:13Well, just remember, we'll ever clean up that Milan disaster and get immunity.
03:19In fact, um...
03:22They deserve a promotion.
03:24No way this Victoria Winter saved the company since she's not even there.
03:34Boss, the Milan collection crisis? Averted. Pre-orders are pouring in.
03:40You saved the entire collection? Impressive.
03:44Oh, actually...
03:45How about I make you the new creative director, starting today?
03:51Oh my god, is this really happening?
03:53She's offering Victoria his job?
03:56I can finally get rid of that bitch hanging over my head?
04:04But, Victoria...
04:05Don't worry, my hurt.
04:06You're not useless.
04:07I'm gonna go just on fire.
04:13You know that collection I just rescued him?
04:17I hid something in the design.
04:20Your initials and no little graces.
04:23However, right in the fabric.
04:24And that's gonna give him a long runway?
04:31Plus, the bonus from this collection is substantial.
04:35Enough of your full tuition at private school.
04:38Mom, if we have to...
04:40We're going to that private school.
04:42No discussion.
04:44Your sister and I will manage just fine.
04:47His job will keep us afloat.
04:49I love you, Mom.
04:54Holy shit, Holly actually thought I was the one who saved the company?
05:06After all these years in your shadow, Victoria,
05:09I'm finally taking what I deserve.
05:25Look, I'm gonna fire every single one of them.
05:36What the hell?
05:37Listen up, everyone.
05:39Victoria Wintour is terminated.
05:41Effective immediately.
05:44You can't just do that.
05:46She's in the hospital having her baby.
05:48They're a loss against this.
05:50Vic worked while in labor.
05:51She's a creative backbone of his own adult.
05:55Maternity leave, medical insurance.
05:57These preggos are bleeding us dry.
06:01Everything okay here?
06:05Great timing.
06:07Victoria Wintour, you're fired.
06:10Clear out your desk now.
06:12You're Matthew's daughter, aren't you?
06:23I saved this company three times when your father could have been here.
06:27Three times.
06:30Well...
06:32That's ancient history.
06:34The word was fresh blood.
06:36And me eager to save the entire Milan collection.
06:39What?
06:44I'm the one who...
06:47Me or you...
06:50Feel that curve?
06:52That's her signature.
06:54That's what makes it me as our mother.
07:00How could you?
07:02I taught you everything you know.
07:03I wish things were different, Vic.
07:04I should have thought about your career before getting pregnant.
07:08What happens to my team?
07:10Miranda pulled all of matters for a month straight working on your father's exclusive collections.
07:13Things was so bad she had to get hair and implants.
07:14Pauline had to cancel her own wedding because of a company meeting at the Louvre.
07:23These jobs and their lifelines, health insurance, paid maternity leave, basic human dignity.
07:24You can't just throw them away.
07:25Well, actually, legally speaking, we can.
07:26No mandated paid maternity leave.
07:27No mandated paid maternity leave.
07:28What happened to my team?
07:29What happened to my team?
07:30What happened to my team?
07:31Miranda pulled all of matters for a month straight working on your father's exclusive collections.
07:32Things were so bad she had to get hair and implants.
07:33And in fact, Pauline had to cancel her own wedding because of a company meeting at the Louvre.
07:34These jobs and their lifelines, health insurance, paid maternity leave, basic human dignity, you can't just throw them away.
07:47Actually, legally speaking, we can.
07:50No mandated paid maternity leave.
07:53No protection today.
07:54And that's corporate America for you.
07:58We can shift the math.
08:00You sign, they stay, and the budget works out.
08:05Think of it as taking one for the team.
08:10Noelle is still drowning in her husband's guts.
08:13And Pauline's sister still needs another surgery.
08:17They can't lose their jobs.
08:22Come on, babe, because they ain't care of them.
08:25Prove it.
08:28The initial end of the year,
08:33How do you believe each other?
08:39Do you believe each other?
08:42Yes.
08:45We believe exactly.
08:47The same thing is we don't believe each other,
08:50we don't believe each other.
08:53We believe each other.
08:57Five breath. That's my seventh package after 15 years. That's what it works to-
09:20Careful.
09:22My God.
09:28Vincent? Vincent Chevalier?
09:33Hi.
09:36High school feels like another lifetime, doesn't it?
09:48So, it's true.
09:51Great Victoria Winter is being shown the door after single-handedly saving what you saw in the Rose Milan collection.
09:57How do you feel about not having to answer single-minded executives in the world?
10:07Someone with your kind of talent shouldn't be treated like this.
10:11What are you getting at exactly?
10:13I'm talking about you and me.
10:19Partners.
10:21You're genius.
10:23My money.
10:25No corporate BS.
10:27No one holding you back.
10:28I've got a baby to think about now.
10:30I have an empty corner office with you and an attached nursery.
10:39Just saying.
10:42Vincent Chevalier, wow.
10:43You didn't expect to see the head of Chauvin and our corporate nexus thrown into the office.
10:53You got your spider?
10:55Don't mind me, I'm just giving Victoria a theory.
11:01Soft landing.
11:03Triple her salary.
11:05Corner office.
11:07Before the vultures at LB or Chanel swooping.
11:10So you're dumpster diving now.
11:13Rescuing a washed up single mom with outdated ideas?
11:17It'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?
11:28The earrings, it's Victoria's collaboration with Cartier.
11:31If her work is so far beneath you, maybe you should just strip.
11:37Shit, shit, shit.
11:39What are you talking about?
11:41Victoria designed all of this.
11:48Actually, those were my designs.
11:52What did you just say?
11:55The spring collection.
11:57The Cartier pieces.
11:59I designed them.
12:01Under your supervision of course, but they came from me.
12:04Oops, looks like you've been backing your own horse, Vincent.
12:08I thought you were better than this, Mia.
12:12Let explain my signature on the original sketch dated six months ago.
12:18So what, skaters get past her all the time, it doesn't free the squat.
12:23Maybe she was in the middle, what do they call it?
12:26Best designer?
12:28On the logo?
12:29The EW, woven in, Victoria's signature mark.
12:39It's been on every major piece she's designed for years.
12:42Mommy, explain it.
12:43Maybe shut up.
12:45It's funny, all those pieces from the Milan collection that everyone's losing over, they all have EW and GW's so good too.
12:57Victoria's daughter is Emily Winter. Her 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.
13:16Tell them you designed this.
13:18Tell them you saved Milan.
13:20The logo, it's...
13:23It's adapted based on traditional motifs.
13:27You lying little bitch!
13:29Black Promotions are saving the company.
13:36Look at the logo again.
13:38It's not EW or GW.
13:42It's actually two M's.
13:44M-M, for McMichael, my last name.
13:51See? One M flipped, one upright.
13:55It's not for Grace or Emily.
13:58It's mine.
14:00That is absolutely ridiculous.
14:03Oh my god, she's right, it does look more like two M's.
14:08You manipulative.
14:09It'll be okay.
14:10She really thought you could steal the credit from my star designer.
14:14You learned well, Mia.
14:17Maybe too long.
14:19You'll regret this.
14:22What?
14:24We don't have to see today at all.
14:26Okay.
14:28Let me drive you over here.
14:30I've got four hours outside.
14:32If I got this, you shouldn't be carrying anyone through.
14:36Through.
14:39Congratulations on your promotion, Mia.
14:42Just...
14:43Take care of my honor of Paula, Mia.
14:48That's right, get the hell out of my company!
14:51Go lead your 401k somewhere else.
14:59Paula, Victoria.
15:03VIP invitation, Paris Fashion Week.
15:06Front row.
15:07I didn't even find it.
15:09Lightning.
15:18Every pregnant woman fired.
15:20All of us.
15:22Just like that.
15:24No severance.
15:26No warning.
15:27Nothing.
15:28My box of insecurity asked her.
15:29Finally purged the company of those walking liabilities.
15:30The termination people are practically paid for your sign.
15:31The bonus might be ready to start.
15:32Now.
15:33I'm not here slashing with you.
15:34The signs are eerily lighted.
15:35Oh my god, Mom.
15:36This is insane.
15:37I'm not here.
15:38I'm not here slashing with you.
15:39I'm not here slashing with you.
15:40The signs are eerily lighted.
15:41Oh my god, Mom.
15:42Oh my god, Mom. This is insane. I can't believe we're actually here.
16:06Victoria Winter, the nuclear dick. Your mom's basically a legend. You know that, right?
16:11We've been taking bets on where you'll land after Maison de Vaux. Their loss is definitely
16:18someone else's jackpot. Wait, Maison de Vaux? Well, well, the queen of the outer crown embraces
16:28us for her presence. Great of you to show up here. What's next? Applying for retail jobs
16:34at the mall? Leaving so soon, you haven't introduced me to your princess.
16:41Mom, is that true?
16:48Don't worry. She'll explain once she figures out how to keep paying her tuition bills.
16:53Ladies and gentlemen, Victoria Winter. Still pretending she matters.
17:00My mom is one of the most talented designers in this entire room. If Miss Unable was putting
17:07people like you in charge of the business, then maybe deserves to crash and burn.
17:12Well, look at that. It seems entitlement runs in the family.
17:15Say whatever you want about me, but leave my daughter out of it. That's gotta sting, huh?
17:22Exposed as unemployed in front of your kid who worships you like some kind of hero.
17:27Hey, good news. There's a factory down the street that's always looking for hard-working
17:30children. If paying bills is getting tough, maybe send her over there.
17:37That's enough. That's enough. That's enough.
17:47You've always been a fraud, Victoria. You never belonged in this world.
17:52Look at her. A jobless single mom still pretending she can afford couture.
17:57That dress. It's a cheap knockoff. Wearing fakes to Paris Fashion Week is not just pathetic.
18:07It's insulting to everyone here who actually deserves to be here.
18:10What the hell do you think you're doing?
18:15Remove that dress. We don't tolerate counterfeits in this industry.
18:21Hey, stop it. Let go of my mind.
18:25Let's see what garbage is really hiding under that dress.
18:29Take your hands off her now.
18:34Vincent.
18:40You're dismissed.
18:49You alright?
18:51Jesus Christ, that's Vincent Chamellier.
19:00The reclusive leader who never shows up anywhere? What the hell is he doing with Victoria?
19:06That knockoff? That you so eager to trash her for?
19:10It's Chavem.
19:12It's Chavem.
19:13But the Dwarf. Winter Collection. Not even released yet.
19:17Price tag?
19:19300,000.
19:21Wow!
19:22You gave her that.
19:24That's right.
19:25I did.
19:26I would give her the entire damn collection if she wanted it.
19:31Oh my god, everyone mystery solved.
19:34Victoria's backed herself a sugar daddy.
19:38Mr. Billionaire's not a white knight. He's from Hawking Trust Fund.
19:44Victoria's leaving her way to the top.
19:46It's just so predictably desperate.
19:50You really don't understand real talent.
19:55Do you?
19:57For those of you who don't know me,
19:59I'm Vincent Chavellier.
20:02CEO of Jeven.
20:04Yes.
20:05I have been in love with Victoria Winter since high school.
20:10I have followed your career from a distance for years.
20:14Your brilliance.
20:16Your principles.
20:18Your passion.
20:19Victoria, there is no one else like you in this entire industry.
20:24Mom, did you know about this?
20:26I'm not going to pursue anything until she's ready.
20:30But in the meantime, what I will do is ensure that her incredible talent has the platform that it deserves.
20:38She won't let you down, boss.
20:43You're making a complete ass of yourself, Chavellier.
20:46She's nothing but a has-been.
20:49The show's about to start.
20:51Your seats are waiting.
20:57Holy shit.
20:59The industry gold boy and the creative powerhouse together?
21:02Talk about a power couple.
21:04They come with the entire industry.

21:09Wait till we see what I've prepared for you.
21:21So you seriously been in love with my mom since high school?
21:24Some talents.
21:25You recognize me.

21:33It's true.
21:34She took my work and passed it off as her own.
21:38I've slaved away on those designs day and night.
21:39And Victoria had the nerve to pass them off as her own.
21:44That's just particularly iceberg isn't it Victoria?

26:21Yes, absolutely, and they're counting on this being a hit.
26:25Please, like, not for me.
26:28For that, it's weird.
26:30I would have expected them to be here in Paris, you know, for such a make or break show.
26:34What exactly happened to them, Mia?
26:40They, they couldn't make it.
26:42Holly cut the travel budget.
26:45Is that right?
26:47Victoria, I know I don't deserve your help.
26:52They do.
26:54Fine.
26:56I'll help you.
26:58But I'm doing this to Miranda and Holly.
27:00Not for you.
27:02Oh my god.
27:03It's Victoria Winter.
27:04The nuclear vec.
27:05I need scissors, thread, and fresh lining fabric now.
27:17I need royal fuchsia for this stitching.
27:18Regular fuchsia won't work with this fabric.
27:19Does anyone have royal fuchsia thread?
27:32Do you miss work?
27:33Vincent?
27:34How did you?
27:35I figured you might need some supplies, so I had my assistant bring over Jeven as an emergency
27:39kit.
27:40This is perfect, but the Jeven and Maison Lavo are competitors, so why would you help them?
27:47I'm not helping them.
27:48I'm helping you.
27:49I can't ask you to do this without giving me something in return.
27:54I have a design I've been saving.
27:55Something special I've never shown anyone.
27:56It's yours now.
27:57I don't want your design, Victoria.
27:58Then what do you want?
27:59You.
28:00What?
28:02What?
28:03I don't want you to do it, Victoria.
28:04But you do it for your competitors.
28:07Why would you help them?
28:08And I'm teaming more competitors.
28:09Why would you help them?
28:14I'm not helping them.
28:15I'm helping you.
28:16I can't ask you to do this without giving me something in return.
28:17I have a design I've been saving.
28:18Something special I've never shown anyone.
28:19It's yours now.
28:20I don't want your design, Victoria.
28:23Then what do you want?
28:24You.
28:26What?
28:32Your talent. Your vision. Come and work as you am.
28:38I'm in. I'll work for you.
28:41Just like that?
28:43Just like that. Now, let me finish my final job for Miss Alamo.
28:56I wish I was cool. Like the new world's cool. I regret it. So I'ma get, I'ma get, I'ma get, I'ma get it out.
29:05I won't be bad. Don't let me change. I'm gonna be proud of my name.
29:15She's doing this. What would've taken us hours?
29:19Whoa. No wonder they call this Nuclear Vesh.
29:23It's so fucked up watching her fix my disaster like it's nothing.
29:27The woman I replaced making me look like an amateur.
29:35Five minutes to show time. We made it.
29:38Well? Do we pull the plug or not?
29:52We're good. Everything's back on track.
29:54See? I knew firing Victoria was the right call. You've got twice your talent.
30:00Yeah. Right.
30:04This is exactly why I promoted you.
30:07Any big size is not makeup.
30:16To Victoria. The real hero of the night.
30:19Mom, you're insane. I can't believe you actually picked that disaster in under an hour.
30:35Couldn't have done it without you.
30:37You know, if you start dating before you work together, it doesn't help as an office romance.
30:49Well, well, still hanging around.
30:51I don't think you're too embarrassed to show your face at the after party. Fraud.
30:57Holly, why didn't you ask the models what happened backstage tonight?
31:00What are you talking about?
31:02Just ask the models. Any of them.
31:07Oh, and Mia. Don't forget about our agreement.
31:10About Miranda and Pauline.
31:12I need to go.
31:19Two new beginnings such a bit.
31:21Emily's private school application is due next month, right?
31:35I want to help.
31:36With their education.
31:38What?
31:39This and that.
31:40That's too much. We barely know each other.
31:43Victoria.
31:45I've known you since we were 17.
31:47I remember watching you win that regional competition.
31:54In that silver dress.
31:56The one you made from scratch.
31:58I saw the way your eyes lit up.
32:01When you talked about changing the fashion world.
32:05Do you remember that?
32:07I remember everything.
32:10I have followed your career.
32:12All these years.
32:13Just hoping that our paths would cross again.
32:17Why didn't you ever reach out?
32:19We were married.
32:21And then worse.
32:24And then you were building your career.
32:27The timing was just...
32:29Is that right?
32:31Until now.
32:32I have been away...
32:4320 years to do this.
32:45I should probably get this.
33:09Mia?
33:10God, I was so right about firing Victoria.
33:16That Milan disaster you turned around.
33:18Absolute magic.
33:20And now I have an opportunity to put you in the map for good.
33:24Sean Gosling needs a tuxedo for the Oscars red carpet.
33:30Sean Gosling?
33:32The Sean Gosling?
33:33The very one.
33:34Three time Oscar winner.
33:36People's sexy is not alive.
33:38And if you play our cards right.
33:40The next face in the maze only goes anywhere.
33:43They're taking pitches now.
33:45If he picks yours.
33:47This changes everything.
33:48For you.
33:49For the brand.
33:51Where it is.
33:52Joven's in the right too.
33:54You land this.
33:55Vincent is where Victoria are done.
34:00Seal the deal.
34:01I'll bump your pay by 20%.
34:04I've got this Holly.
34:05You won't regret it.
34:14God, what am I going to do?
34:16I can't design menswear.
34:18I barely pulled off the woman's with Victoria's help.
34:21Lorraine and Felina are gone too.
34:23I'm completely on my own.
34:24If Holly bought that I saved Milan and fixed Paris when it was all Victoria.
34:32Maybe I can squeeze one more miracle over.
34:35I'll never be your girlfriend.
34:57Thanks for meeting me.
34:58I know things are complicated between us.
35:01You mentioned Miranda and Pauline.
35:03Cut to the chase.
35:08We're pitching for Sean's Oscar tax.
35:10Miranda and Pauline are also there.
35:12Miranda's excellent with menswear.
35:13She can handle this without me.
35:14Please, wait.
35:15There's more to it.
35:17After Paris, Holly needs someone to blame for the fabric disaster.
35:21Miranda and Pauline are on the chopping block.
35:24I've been fighting for them.
35:25Are you serious?
35:26Pauline's due any day now.
35:28Trust me, I know.
35:29This project is our only shot.
35:31If we land it, I can convince Holly to keep them off.
35:35Have you worked with Sean before?
35:37No, but I've heard you have.
35:39Ages ago.
35:41I did a jacket frame for the Met Gala.
35:44Actually, I was sketching a new tuxedo concept right before it left me on the ball.
35:48Really?
35:49What concept?
35:50I don't.
35:55Well...
36:09Perfect. 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?
36:20I do.
36:22Actually, I...
36:23I took them with me when I left myself on the ball.
36:26Wait.
36:28Miranda went on maternity leave last week.
36:30How exactly is she part of this project?
36:33Well, since she's the best menswear designer we have, Holly's liking her work from home.
36:39Is the company covering her health insurance?
36:42Of course, Vic.
36:45Pauline and Miranda's jobs are on the line here.
36:47Who is going to play?
36:48Take all the time you need.
36:49Mia.
36:50Don't make me regret trusting you.
36:51Again.
36:52Pumpkin, I need a quick favor.
36:53Remember that tuxedo sketch I was working on for?
36:54I don't know.
36:55I don't know.
36:56I don't know.
36:57I don't know.
36:58I don't know.
36:59I don't know.
37:00I don't know.
37:01It's the best.
37:02I don't know.
37:03I don't know.
37:04I don't know.
37:06What's wrong with you?
37:07All the things that you're wearing?
37:08And you're going to play with me.
37:09Pumpkin, I need a good favour. Remember that tuxedo sketch I was working on before everything was sideways?
37:23The Sean Gosselin one with the black sides and lapels?
37:27That's the one. Can you check my home office? It should be in the portfolio marked Men's Formal 2025.
37:33Got it. Grace is napping for the perfect timing.
37:37Thanks sweetie. I just need to double check.
37:43Shoulder.
37:47Mom are you okay?
37:53Miranda? Vic?
38:00Mom! Mom! What's going on?
38:03Emily, I'll call you right back.
38:06Miranda, what happened? Why the hell are you scrubbing toilets?
38:10Bill's don't pay themselves.
38:12You met my husband, old child with no paycheck and now there's a newborn at home.
38:18But Mia said you were on maternity leave working remotely on the Gosselin project.
38:22What?
38:24Is 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.
38:40Company lawyers said that we all suddenly violated some very performance clause.
38:44All at once.
38:46What are the odds, right?
38:48And Polly parking night shifts at 24 hours down here.
38:52Her sister medical bills keep piling up.
38:56And Mia knew about all this.
39:04Mia.
39:06Front row seat when Hal made an announcement.
39:08Didn't blink.
39:10To be said by her shiny new creative director title.
39:16She's been using you and Polly to manipulate me.
39:19Telling me her job depended on me helping her.
39:22What?
39:24That bitch!
39:26This ends now.
39:28This ends now.
39:35Damn it!
39:40Please recycle.
39:41This is right from Iran.
39:43We need approval by you.
39:45Can't you see I'm working on something important?
39:56What are you all looking at? Get back to work!
40:00Victoria will never shoot us.
40:04I heard that.
40:06You think Victoria is so perfect?
40:08Then where is she now?
40:10Gone.
40:11Now I'm in charge and if anyone has a problem with that,
40:14there's the door.
40:16What the hell is going on here?
40:25Just a great disagreement.
40:28Everything is in control.
40:29Mr. Gosling, guys, tell me it was something presentable.
40:36Of course, I'm just finalizing the details.
40:38Show me.
40:40It's not quite ready.
40:41Now.
40:46This is garbage.
40:49Absolute garbage!
40:51I just need a little more time.
40:53I don't have more time.
40:55This is Sean Gosling we're talking about.
40:57If she then gets this deal instead of us.
41:03What's that?
41:09It's just some inspiration I recorded for the design.
41:13I don't care if you have to sell your soul to the devil,
41:17get me when I design my tomorrow morning,
41:19or pack up your desk by lunch!
41:22I still can't believe I'm using this as leverage.
41:46I still can't believe I'm using this as leverage.
41:53Right on cue.
41:58Meet 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 when we spin the trap.
42:22You're early.
42:25Vic, I really need that sketch.
42:36I said I'd help.
42:37Not hand over my design.
42:39Polly's all over me about this.
42:41If I don't have something tonight,
42:43Miranda and Pauline are toast.
42:47Still lying, Mia.
42:48You'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.
42:56Your design could be just as good.
42:58She's such a snake!
43:02Vic, my stomach is killing me!
43:04Can you run to the pharmacy and get something, please?
43:07Fine.
43:09Don't touch anything.
43:18I'm sorry.
43:19I survived all the fails.
43:36I'm sorry.
43:37I survived all the fails.
43:39I'm sorry.
43:41I'm sorry.
43:42I'm sorry.
43:43I'm sorry.
43:44You just let her take your work?
43:45She worked out with exactly what I wanted her to have.
43:47You know, boss.
43:48We could pitch ourselves.
43:50Go after the same clients.
43:51Show them what real design looks like.
43:53We're not out yet.
43:55Or there's a revolution rope.
43:56You know boss, we could pitch ourselves. Go after the same clients. Show them what real design looks like.
44:06We're not out yet.
44:20I heard there's a revolution rope.
44:26I figure you can use all the backup you can get.
44:32You're welcome mom.
44:36I want you and your team as your men.
44:41Full creative control.
44:44I'm Miranda, your husband's debt. Handled.
44:48And every casino in the country has been told he's not welcome.
44:52I'm Pauline, your sister is in good hands.
44:58The best heart surgeon in the country is already prepping for her next surgery.
45:04Mr. Chevalier, thank you.
45:07Don't thank me. Thank Victoria.
45:10I'm just looking out for the people she believes in.
45:14Vincent, I...
45:16I don't even know what to say.
45:18It's about time you all get what you deserve.
45:22You're welcome.
45:28You are welcome.
45:30You are welcome.
46:32Pitch 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 aren't so scary after all.
46:52Remember, Simai, we're about to make history.
47:03Maison Laveau sets the bar.
47:06We don't follow trends, we 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's thriving because of your generosity.
47:48Didn't expect to see you here.
47:50Thought you'd be all tied up with PTA meetings and diaper changes.
47:56I multitask.
47:58Unlike some, I don't need to fire half my staff to feel competent.
48:01You know, Holly, your fresh blood strategy's working wonders.
48:07The office is so empty, it echoes.
48:10And the only thing growing at Maison Laveau is the legal risk.
48:15Pregnant woman in Tokyo, three excellent movies and the one in the CEO.
48:20What's next?
48:20The bake sale?
48:22Laugh all you want, Holly.
48:24You're about to see what real teamwork looks like.
48:27And what real loyalty looks like.
48:42Sean, glad you could make it.
48:44We have something very special to show you.
48:49Vic.
48:50I 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.
49:19Next, Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.
49:45Next, Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.
49:49Beautiful work.
49:51Both pools.
49:57We'll need a few minutes to discuss.
50:03After careful consideration,
50:05we're rewarding Project 2
50:09Mais Honorable.
50:11Oh, yeah!
50:13Oh my god!
50:15Of course.
50:17That's what we planned all along.
50:19Wasn't it?
50:29What the hell did you people put me in?
50:31Are you trying to kill me?
50:33Mr. Dawson has a serious allergy
50:35to synthetic silk. Who designed this tuxedo?
50:37Did you even read the brief?
50:41I mean,
50:43you must have read the brief. It's not complicated.
50:45It says no synthetic blends.
50:49I mean, it must be some kind of mistake.
50:51Perhaps Mia overlooked something.
50:53A mistake?
50:55I could have ended up in the emergency room.
50:57Victoria,
50:59please, tell these amateurs
51:01how you pulled your glasses off.
51:03I pulled my design because the only fabric left was synthetic.
51:13I'd never risk Mr. Gossick's health for a deadline.
51:17And that's why Victoria is the best.
51:19She actually pays attention.
51:21After reviewing all the entries,
51:23the committee has reached a decision.
51:25The commission goes to
51:27Victoria, Miranda, and Pauline.
51:29That's all right.
51:31Mr. Gawling was just a slip up.
51:33Mia's design was the front runner all along.
51:35That's why they picked her first.
51:39Maybe everyone should see this.
51:41Wait, Mia, did you actually steal Victoria's design?
51:55Not to be low.
51:59Even for you.
52:01Nathan Laveau will be hearing from my ladders.
52:07And so you know,
52:09I will be supporting Victoria's case for this event.
52:13Nathan Laveau's reputation is toast.
52:17We're suspending all collaborations.
52:21Don't even think about trying to land anywhere else.
52:33You're blacklisted.
52:39Victoria, please.
52:49Victoria, please.
52:51I'll do anything.
52:53Please just help me save the company.
52:55The brand you built for 15 years.
52:57You made your choices, Holly.
52:59Now you live with them.
53:03Why did you go too far?
53:11Sean Gawzing's look tonight is a game changer
53:13crafted by the trailblazing team of Joe Menn.
53:15Social media is already calling it
53:17The Winter Revolution.
53:21It's 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.
53:37Happy birthday, Victoria.
53:39Happy birthday, Victoria.
53:41Happy birthday, Victoria.
53:43Happy birthday to you.
53:45Happy birthday, Victoria.
53:47Happy birthday, Victoria.
53:51Happy birthday, Victoria.
53:53Happy birthday to you.
53:55Happy birthday, Victoria.
53:57Happy birthday, Victoria.
53:59Happy birthday, Victoria.
54:01Nice.
54:03Look.
54:05Happy birthday, Victoria.
54:07The rest of you.
54:08Happy birthday, Victoria.
54:09Happy birthday, Victoria.
54:11I'm really sorry, Victoria.
54:12Happy birthday, Victoria.
54:13My pleasure, Victoria.
54:14I'm so sorry, Victoria.
54:15I'm just больше.
54:16It's strange, isn't it?
54:22I 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.
54:34Honestly, it's a weird mix. Relief, sure, but also a little bit of grief.
54:42Look, who said that our best years are behind us? Look at this!
54:48Joven 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.
55:08Careful Vincent, you must find the best part.
55:18I...
55:23Victoria Winter...
55:28Will you marry me?
55:29Yes! A thousand times yes!
55:35Woooo!
55:37Woooo!
55:47Woooo!
55:49Woooo!
55:51We bought the amber!
56:00Hey.
56:01Can you see me, please?
56:03Oh my god.
56:04Go.
56:05Go.
56:06Woooo!
56:07Ha, ha, ha, ha.
56:13You came. I thought you'd want to see me like this.
56:16me like this. I came because I wanted to hear it from you. When word got out you left. Clients
56:24bailed. The board freed. Members named. 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 attack.
56:46He won't even speak to me anymore. I destroyed everything. My thoughts slashed in costs and
56:54saved us but instead I gutted the company. I didn't mean to pretend like this.
57:01Maison Laval was in debt. I bought it. Last week. The brand. The archives. Even the debt.
57:11It's part of your van now. If 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.
57:22You and Victoria. To help you do better than I did. I'll do it differently. Goodbye.
57:33Miss Winter. I just. I want to thank you. Because of your campaign. My company gave me maternity leave. I can keep working and have a
57:40baby. You changed everything. Congratulations.
57:47Wishing you and your little one every happiness.
57:49Wishing you and your little one every happiness.
57:54Ready?
57:55Ready?
57:56Ready?
57:57Always.
57:58Always.
57:59I can't.
58:00I can't.
58:01I can't.
58:02I can't keep working and have my baby. You changed everything.
58:06You changed everything.
58:07Congratulations.
58:08I can't.
58:09You changed everything.
58:10I can't.
58:11I can't.
58:12I can't.
58:13I can't keep working and have a baby.
58:14I can't.
58:15I can't.
58:16I can't.
58:17I can't.
58:18I can't.
58:19I can't.
58:20I can't.
58:21I can't.
58:22Always.
58:36And now, Joran's new collection, designed by Victoria Ventura and Merton.
