00:00:00How dare you invade my home?
00:00:20It's my mother's home.
00:00:21She's dead.
00:00:22Your father signed the deed over to me and my daughter, Caitlin.
00:00:26So get the hell out.
00:00:27You need to get the hell out, Rubina.
00:00:28The house is on fire.
00:00:29You expect me to believe a stupid line like that?
00:00:35The house is on fire.
00:00:37Oh my God, the house is on fire.
00:00:43Caitlin.
00:00:44Caitlin.
00:00:45My mother's dress.
00:00:46I have to get it.
00:00:47Caitlin?
00:00:48Shit.
00:00:49What the fuck are you doing here?
00:00:50Excuse me?
00:00:51This is my room.
00:00:52Hey.

00:01:18Steel?
00:01:19You're fucking my sister?
00:01:20Step-sister, this is your fault.
00:01:21Poor Margaret.
00:01:22While you were busy dreaming about your wedding, I was here satisfying your fiancé.
00:01:23I just made him cum three times on your bed.
00:01:24You are nothing but a social-climbing, home-wrecking whore, just like your mom.

00:03:21Yeah, I can.
00:03:30Oh my God.
00:03:32We gotta get out of here.
00:03:33Boss, the primary helicopter is on the way.
00:03:37The airline is too loud.
00:03:38You take the airline.
00:03:39I'll go check on the neighbors.
00:03:40What?
00:03:41♪♪
00:03:48♪♪
00:03:57♪♪
00:04:08Is that bitch still in there?
00:04:20Whatever.

00:04:33The Minnibal!
00:04:34The Minnibal!
00:04:35The Minnibal!
00:04:36The Minnibal!
00:04:37The Minnibal!
00:04:38The Minnibal's appraisal value is ten million!
00:04:41I'm just gonna die here now!
00:04:44OK, clear out!
00:04:46Is someone still in there?
00:04:47Not just my stupid sister, who cares about her?
00:04:49What's her name?
00:04:52Margaret!
00:04:53But you could just call her Loser!
00:04:54Wait if you're going inside!
00:04:56I have 10 Hermione's bags.
00:04:59Burke'd.
00:05:00Can't you just take them, please?
00:05:02OK?
00:05:04They're in my closet!
00:05:05I think he might do it.
00:05:07Margaret!
00:05:11Margaret, where are you?
00:05:13Can you hear me?
00:05:17Oh, no.
00:05:21Oh, no.
00:05:35Margaret, can you hear me?
00:05:37You're going to be okay.
00:05:39All right?
00:05:45Congrats on your wedding.
00:05:47I belong to my mom.
00:05:49That's great.
00:05:51Hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:05:53Hold on to me, okay?
00:05:57Get out of here.
00:05:59Hey, hold on to me, okay?
00:06:03Get out of here.
00:06:25Where are my designer pants?
00:06:27You guys need to take her to the hospital right now.
00:06:29You saved her?
00:06:31Why? She doesn't even live in this zip code.
00:06:33If you all don't take her to safety,
00:06:35you'll all be charged with attempted murder.
00:06:37Don't talk to me like that.
00:06:39You cringy firefighter.
00:06:41Take her to the hospital now.
00:06:43You're ridiculous. Fine.
00:06:45You take her.
00:06:49Stop touching her.
00:06:51Then how am I supposed to carry her?
00:06:53I don't know.
00:06:57I don't know.
00:07:07Cancel the engagement.
00:07:09Are you out of your mind?
00:07:13Are you out of your mind?
00:07:15I almost die in a fire, and that's all you have to say to me?
00:07:17His mother is mayor of this whole city.
00:07:19She can open doors with a wave of her hand.
00:07:21I don't care if she can
00:07:23fart rainbows with a wave of her butt.
00:07:25Oh, and did they tell you
00:07:27that he's been fucking Caitlyn?
00:07:29Watch your mouth.
00:07:31Tell her to watch what she sticks
00:07:33between her legs.
00:07:35Don't you dare talk to me like that.
00:07:37I should have let you die in that house
00:07:39so you can burn in hell.
00:07:41You tried to leave me there, remember?
00:07:43You think I don't know that?
00:07:45Cut the crap. You're gonna marry Steele,
00:07:47and you're gonna make him happy.
00:07:49No. I'm not a tramp who sells my body
00:07:51to men for money.
00:07:53Caitlyn style.
00:07:55Ah!
00:07:59You know what? Dad, you can
00:08:01climb into bed with the Wicked Witch of the West
00:08:03every night. That's your business.
00:08:05But I will not
00:08:07sleep with some slimy-ass bottom-feeder
00:08:09to make you happy.
00:08:11Well, then, you can kiss your inheritance goodbye.
00:08:13I guess I'll be taking over your mother's company.
00:08:15She left it to me.
00:08:17Only if you're married by next week.
00:08:19And then what are you going to do
00:08:21if Steele dumps you?
00:08:23Just look at you.
00:08:25You can't even get out of bed.
00:08:29Oh, gosh, Raveena.
00:08:31It looks like
00:08:33I can get out of bed after all.
00:08:35And you
00:08:37can't stop me.
00:08:39Are you high?
00:08:41Where the hell do you think you're going?
00:08:43To find a husband.
00:08:47To find a husband.
00:08:51And I know just where to find him.
00:08:55Stop right now, young lady!
00:08:57Stop her!
00:09:03A $50 million
00:09:05donation? This is a
00:09:07godsend.
00:09:09Look, man, you guys are the real
00:09:11heroes. I was just happy I could help.
00:09:13Well, I appreciate it.
00:09:15I actually got you
00:09:17a gift.
00:09:19Come on, Raveena.
00:09:21I didn't have to do that.
00:09:27Chieftain, this is perfect.
00:09:29Thank you. Sincerely.
00:09:43Who did it to me?
00:09:45Where is he?
00:09:47Who did what to you?
00:09:49Saved my life yesterday.
00:09:53No.
00:09:55No. Not you either.
00:09:57No. You're not the one.
00:09:59It's not here.
00:10:05What about that guy?
00:10:09You're...
00:10:11Excuse me for a second, sir.
00:10:17It's you.
00:10:19I'm sorry, miss?
00:10:21You're the guy.
00:10:23I think you might have him.
00:10:31Whoa.
00:10:33Slow down.
00:10:35It's me.
00:10:37Margaret.
00:10:39I know I'm silly.
00:10:41I shouldn't have come here. I just...
00:10:43I have nowhere else to go.
00:10:45No one to trust.
00:10:47I lost everything that I had.
00:10:49Hey.
00:10:51It's okay. You're safe now.
00:10:55You say you were.
00:11:15Margaret.
00:11:21I knew you'd remember me.
00:11:23I'm sorry I didn't recognize you.
00:11:35Man.
00:11:37Oh, my word.
00:11:39I don't know what he's going to do after this.
00:11:45I have two requests.
00:11:47Okay.
00:11:49First, in the future when we do that,
00:11:51your hugs don't have to be so delicate.
00:11:53I'm not breakable. Agreed?
00:11:55Yeah. Sure.
00:11:57And my second request is...
00:11:59Marry me.
00:12:01What?
00:12:03I'll explain all the details later, but we gotta go right now.
00:12:07Hey, if he doesn't want to, I'm available.
00:12:09Yeah, me too. I'm here all day.
00:12:11When it comes to hot women, nobody handles them like firemen.
00:12:13We're specialists.
00:12:15Whoa. Easy.
00:12:17Down, down, boys.
00:12:19Did any of the three of you hear me say no?
00:12:21Let's go.
00:12:23Why couldn't that happen to me?
00:12:27We'll have a big ceremony later.
00:12:29For now, this makes it official.
00:12:31By the way,
00:12:33how do you feel about kids?
00:12:35I feel great about kids.
00:12:37When I was a little girl,
00:12:39my mom always told me to always
00:12:41bring nice pajamas to bed. You know why?
00:12:43Why?
00:12:45In case of an emergency, if a fireman came in,
00:12:47she said,
00:12:49you never know,
00:12:51you might become your husband.
00:12:53I'm sorry I haven't had the chance to tell you this yet,
00:12:55but I'm not actually a firefighter.
00:12:57I just happened to be there
00:12:59and was able to help that day.
00:13:03But...
00:13:05you saved my life
00:13:07and my mother's dress,
00:13:09and you mean a lot to me.
00:13:11You're my hero.
00:13:13I should tell her who I am.
00:13:15Margaret, I...
00:13:31Okay.
00:13:33I can tell her later.
00:13:35You know,
00:13:37we can't just kiss every single time
00:13:39we look into each other's eyes.
00:13:41You're right.
00:13:43You're right.
00:13:45No, no, you're not.
00:13:55Oh!
00:13:57Right, thank you.
00:13:59Come on.
00:14:05Well, my husband,
00:14:07shall we go to your place or mine?
00:14:09I'm...
00:14:11I'm actually homeless.
00:14:13My house burned down in the fires.
00:14:15I'm so sorry.
00:14:17Well, you're my husband now,
00:14:19so you can just move in with me.
00:14:21I'll help you move.
00:14:23I can't let her know I'm staying in the W Hotel.
00:14:25It's too fancy.
00:14:29That's so kind
00:14:31and sweet of you, but I wouldn't want you to get your hands dirty.
00:14:33I'll handle the moving.
00:14:35Okay.
00:14:37Well,
00:14:39this
00:14:41is my address.
00:14:43See you soon,
00:14:45husband.
00:14:51Dad, you can't
00:14:53make me sleep on the floor
00:14:55while you sleep with my mother on the
00:14:57Eiderdown Savoir Grand
00:14:59Emperor bed.
00:15:01That's not fair. No!
00:15:03Book me a suite right now.
00:15:05Are you delusional?
00:15:07Every decent
00:15:09hotel runs out of rooms.
00:15:11Oh, how about you
00:15:13go get yourself a room at the Motel 6?
00:15:15What? No!
00:15:17Honey,
00:15:19can I stay at your place?
00:15:21Look,
00:15:23either we solve this with Margaret
00:15:25or we're gonna leave. No, no, no, no.
00:15:27We'll fix it. She will marry you.
00:15:29Excuse her. She's still
00:15:31a little out of sorts after the whole
00:15:33city-burning-down thing.
00:15:35Well, she's gonna have to come crawling back
00:15:37to me on her knees.
00:15:39Too bad you couldn't choose Caitlin instead.
00:15:41No, Ravine, this is a business
00:15:43transaction. Steele marries Margaret,
00:15:45then becomes CEO
00:15:47of Foster Incorporated,
00:15:49my ex-wife's business.
00:15:51That's the perfect arrangement
00:15:53because Margaret supplies Steele with
00:15:55the money, and Caitlin
00:15:57supplies him with
00:15:59other benefits.
00:16:01They're like a tag team.
00:16:03A tag team?
00:16:11Let's get this clear once and
00:16:13for all. None of you are ever
00:16:15getting your hands on my mother's money
00:16:17ever. Not you,
00:16:19not my sleazy, ask-for-sales
00:16:21stepsister, not this cheating
00:16:23man-whore, and not
00:16:25whoever the hell you are.
00:16:33For your information,
00:16:35I'm the mayor of
00:16:37this city, and you just called
00:16:39my son a man-whore.
00:16:41You will
00:16:43apologize. Now,
00:16:45on your knees,
00:16:47or I
00:16:49will crush you.
00:16:51No,
00:16:53I don't get on my knees.
00:16:55That's Caitlin's specialty.
00:16:57But I am so sorry that
00:16:59I called your son a man-whore.
00:17:01I should have called him a wannabe
00:17:03man-whore because he only has one
00:17:05pitiful pickup line,
00:17:07my mother's the mayor.
00:17:09A mayor who let the reservoirs
00:17:11get so dry that the whole city
00:17:13could burn. You want me to
00:17:15apologize? You should be apologizing
00:17:17to the people of this city. One
00:17:19more word. Sit down
00:17:21and shut up.
00:17:23You will be a
00:17:25humble, obedient,
00:17:27respectful wife.
00:17:29You will never inherit that company.
00:17:31I'm afraid
00:17:33I can't marry Steele.
00:17:35Don't you know that polygamy is illegal
00:17:37in California? A woman
00:17:39can't have two husbands. What
00:17:41are you talking about?
00:17:43Well, you see,
00:17:45I'm already married.
00:17:51My paper beats your paper.
00:17:53What did you do? Grab
00:17:55some homeless guy to marry?
00:17:57Ha ha ha!
00:17:59Everyone
00:18:01knows you were engaged to the
00:18:03mayor's son. How dare you
00:18:05embarrass the mayor
00:18:07publicly? You are a liability to this
00:18:09company and you'll be replaced as a CEO
00:18:11by me. I am the new
00:18:13CEO.
00:18:15That is not gonna happen.
00:18:21I'll catch up with you guys in a little bit.
00:18:23I have to go clear out my room.
00:18:25Boss, you married
00:18:27a girl you don't even know?
00:18:29What were you thinking?
00:18:33Whitman,
00:18:35sometimes in life, you
00:18:37crunch the numbers and read
00:18:39the market and leverage
00:18:41your assets. And then there's
00:18:43other times you just listen
00:18:45to your heart.
00:18:47This is one of those times.
00:18:51There's my wife right now.
00:18:57Harvard, you're
00:18:59done. Who's that creep
00:19:01that's threatening her? That's Jackson
00:19:03Foster, your father-in-law.
00:19:05I did some research. Step ahead
00:19:07of you, boss. Well, I'm gonna put
00:19:09my hands in this.
00:19:13Anyone can make a fake marriage license.
00:19:15Just admit you don't have a husband.
00:19:17Excuse me. Who the hell are you?
00:19:21I'm Margaret's husband.
00:19:23My dad.
00:19:25Is this some kind of joke?
00:19:27You get the joke? Of course
00:19:29it's you. You found
00:19:31some random fireman to marry.
00:19:33Oh, thank God.
00:19:35How pathetic.
00:19:37How much does he make a year?
00:19:39Like $30,000
00:19:41after taxes? You really
00:19:43lowered yourself, Margaret.
00:19:45A fireman?
00:19:47What's wrong
00:19:49with being a fireman?
00:19:51Poor.
00:19:53Stinky.
00:19:55These men
00:19:57save your lives and you bitches point
00:19:59your noses down at them? They're
00:20:01saving this city because
00:20:03she was too inept to do it.
00:20:05And I'll wipe that
00:20:07ugly look off of your face
00:20:09permanently.
00:20:11You know who I am.
00:20:13Move your fat asses,
00:20:15go out there and do your
00:20:17goddamn jobs, and
00:20:19stop interrupting us!
00:20:21I'm sorry?
00:20:23We all know who you are,
00:20:25Miss Do-Nothing Mayor.
00:20:27Why are you here sitting in a
00:20:29hotel lobby blabbing while
00:20:31the whole city is burning down?
00:20:33Who are you to challenge me?
00:20:35I can fire all of you.
00:20:39Hey guys, we're being
00:20:41fired. Oh, wait a minute.
00:20:43You're not our chief, so
00:20:45you can't fire us. That's it.
00:20:47We're done talking to you idiots.
00:20:49As for you, you're gonna dump this pathetic loser
00:20:51and you're coming home with me.
00:20:53Touch her
00:20:55again and I will drop you where you stand.
00:20:57You and what army?
00:20:59This army.
00:21:01You owe us an apology.
00:21:03All of you.
00:21:05Apologize.
00:21:07Now.
00:21:09Oh, poor fireman.
00:21:11I'm so sorry.
00:21:13Sorry about to get
00:21:15your asses kicked out of here.
00:21:17Security!
00:21:21Good move,
00:21:23Madam Mayor. And when this whole city
00:21:25burns down, how are you gonna explain to your people
00:21:27that you fired the firefighters
00:21:29that were trying to protect it?
00:21:31This is breaking news. It seems the Mayor
00:21:33is firing a team of firefighters.
00:21:35Madam Mayor,
00:21:37do you have a comment? I would never
00:21:39do that. LA
00:21:41firefighters are our true
00:21:43heroes. I'm here to support
00:21:45them.
00:21:47That is very lovely. By the way,
00:21:49why are you here in a luxury
00:21:51hotel when the entire city is on fire?
00:21:53She was cutting
00:21:55a deal for a corporate takeover with a rich
00:21:57ass CEO. Rich
00:21:59ass CEO?
00:22:01Madam Mayor, is that true?
00:22:03And do you have a comment?
00:22:05As I said,
00:22:07I am here to support
00:22:09these brave men.
00:22:11Go firefighters!
00:22:13You know, many people
00:22:15are criticizing your complete
00:22:17and utter incompetence in the
00:22:19handling of the wildfires. In fact,
00:22:21people are pointing out the fact that you cut
00:22:23$17.5 million
00:22:25from the fire department's budget
00:22:27right as the wildfires were starting.
00:22:29What is your response?
00:22:37I have no comment.
00:22:41No comment.
00:22:45You know, not all rich CEOs
00:22:47are assholes. Believe me,
00:22:49they're all aggressive narcissists.
00:22:51I've seen way too many of them.
00:22:53That's why I just want a regular guy like you.
00:22:55Okay, I don't think she's
00:22:57going to like me if I tell her who I am.
00:22:59Hey, so
00:23:01how much did she pay you to be her fake
00:23:03husband? Well, like
00:23:05a hundred bucks a day.
00:23:07Boy, you've really gotten desperate, huh?
00:23:09Hiring some nobody
00:23:11to pretend to be your husband just to cheat us?
00:23:13Just so you could comply
00:23:15to the will and take
00:23:17over the company? That's
00:23:19very clever. How many times
00:23:21do I have to tell you that this
00:23:23is my mother's company
00:23:25so it belongs to me?
00:23:27You'll never pull it off.
00:23:29Let's go.
00:23:35Chris, thank you for standing
00:23:37by me. You married me
00:23:39for a business deal and didn't tell me?
00:23:43It wasn't for a business
00:23:45deal. It was a lawyer thing.
00:23:47I had to get married by
00:23:49a fake or else I wouldn't have been able to inherit my mother's
00:23:51company.
00:23:53I'm such an idiot.
00:23:59It wasn't a fake
00:24:01marriage.
00:24:03Don't go.
00:24:05He's a fireman?
00:24:07That is hot.
00:24:09He's incredibly
00:24:11hot, even though he's not an actual firefighter.
00:24:13She thinks you're hot
00:24:15and you saved her life.
00:24:17He's a pretty good star.
00:24:19He saved your life and then you told him
00:24:21you needed a husband for the inheritance.
00:24:23Actually, I didn't tell him
00:24:25that.
00:24:27Yeah, but I didn't hear that from her.
00:24:29I'm sure she was planning to.
00:24:31There was a lot going on.
00:24:33I almost died in a fire and then
00:24:35I escaped the hospital and the next thing you know I'm kissing
00:24:37the guy that I kissed.
00:24:39And he kissed you back?
00:24:41It was more than a kiss.
00:24:43It was melting into him.
00:24:45She makes me feel like she's melting into me.
00:24:47I've never had anybody
00:24:49make me feel that way before.
00:24:51But then to find out that she wasn't being
00:24:53honest with me?
00:24:55You can still fix this, Margaret.
00:24:57Go talk to him.
00:24:59No!
00:25:01Talk to her?
00:25:03No, she was hiding things from me.
00:25:05What about you?
00:25:07I told her the truth that I am not a firefighter
00:25:09but was just a helper.
00:25:11What about the fact that you're the CEO of the Fortune 500
00:25:13with a net worth of like 1.8 billion?
00:25:15I didn't tell her that part, alright?
00:25:17What if I talk to him and he just shuts me out?
00:25:19She's afraid you'll shut her out.
00:25:21Do you want to shut her out?
00:25:23Really?
00:25:25What do you really want, Margaret?
00:25:27This is one of those moments in life where it's do or die.
00:25:29You need to open up to him.
00:25:43Thank you, guys.
00:25:45I appreciate it.
00:25:47Let's do our part.
00:25:49Boss!
00:25:51Boss!
00:26:09Hi, Chris.
00:26:11I know you're busy with the fires.
00:26:13Hi, Margaret.
00:26:15I have something I need to tell you.
00:26:17Now is probably not the best time.
00:26:19I just wanted to say that I'm sorry.
00:26:21I know that you're upset with me.
00:26:23I didn't mean to keep things from you.
00:26:25Everything just started happening so fast.
00:26:27I don't expect you to forgive me but
00:26:29I needed you to know that I'm sorry.
00:26:41I'm sorry.
00:26:51Wait.
00:26:53How did you find me?
00:26:55I was just driving around.
00:26:57I figured you'd be near the fires.
00:26:59Do not do that again.
00:27:01I...
00:27:03Just stay away, okay?
00:27:05Just stay away, okay?
00:27:07If you want to contact me,
00:27:09call me and tell me where to meet you
00:27:11but please let it be a safe place.
00:27:13You mean you want me to contact you?
00:27:15I certainly don't want you driving around in a red zone.
00:27:17It's far too dangerous.
00:27:19Right.
00:27:21I'll be more careful next time.
00:27:23Will there be a next time?
00:27:27Listen.
00:27:29I didn't exactly tell you everything.
00:27:31I'm sorry.
00:27:33I didn't exactly tell you everything
00:27:35about me either, okay?
00:27:37Wow, you were so mad that you took your ring off, huh?
00:27:41But when I saw you
00:27:43in that fire
00:27:45and then afterwards
00:27:47and you kissed me...
00:27:49Okay, wait. Let's get one thing clear.
00:27:51I don't just go around kissing strange guys, okay?
00:27:53I know. Of course.
00:27:55Of course not.
00:27:57It was a special
00:27:59circumstance.
00:28:01Are you sure? I'm never going to do anything like that in my life ever again.
00:28:03I know. It's just that
00:28:05my financial situation is not what...
00:28:23How do you do that?
00:28:25Do that thing
00:28:27where you make me melt into you?
00:28:29Me?
00:28:31I thought you did that.
00:28:33Isn't that what you do?
00:28:35No, it just happens. It's never happened to me before, but
00:28:37it only happens when I'm with you.
00:28:39...
00:28:41...
00:28:43...
00:28:45...
00:28:47...
00:28:49...
00:28:51...
00:28:53...
00:28:55...
00:28:57...
00:28:59We were talking about something. What was that again?
00:29:01Uh-huh. Um, money.
00:29:03Right.
00:29:05Money. Oh my God, who cares about money?
00:29:07I don't care if you're poor or
00:29:09in debt or whatever.
00:29:11Well, that's the thing. I'm not actually...
00:29:13I don't want a rich man. I mean, my father
00:29:15is one and my stepmother
00:29:17and you've seen them. They're like a cross between
00:29:19Rita Repulsive and Mr. Krabs.
00:29:21Okay, but
00:29:23you don't think every rich person is like that,
00:29:25right?
00:29:27Look, let's just leave it at this. You don't have money
00:29:29and so what? I don't need
00:29:31all the details. Are you sure?
00:29:33You're not going to abandon me
00:29:35because I'm
00:29:37poor? You are the
00:29:39most handsome, smartest man
00:29:41that I have ever met.
00:29:43I will never abandon you.
00:29:45Let's just...
00:29:47They will be totally
00:29:49honest with each other from now on.
00:29:51Promise?
00:30:01What's next?
00:30:05He's your new home.
00:30:07My husband.
00:30:09I am a lucky guy.
00:30:11Come on in.
00:30:23Sorry about the space.
00:30:25My company's struggling a little bit, so
00:30:27it's a bit modest, but... No, don't!
00:30:29Stop it! Stop it!
00:30:37I'm sorry.
00:30:39I could fix your pipes for you
00:30:41so that it doesn't explode again.
00:30:43Sure, of course.
00:30:51I should probably...
00:30:53I should probably...
00:30:55I should probably...
00:30:57I should probably...
00:31:05He's so
00:31:07hot.
00:31:15It should be
00:31:17all good.
00:31:21So...
00:31:23So...
00:31:27So...
00:31:57So...
00:32:03Sorry. I've got to take it.
00:32:05It's work. I know.
00:32:07This better be important.
00:32:09That's a big move.
00:32:11I'll see what I can do.
00:32:13I'm so sorry.
00:32:15I've got to go to work.
00:32:17What? I know.
00:32:19Chris, what is it
00:32:21you actually do for a living?
00:32:28So, you're making
00:32:30a fire suppressant because you
00:32:32work for Morcorp? Kind of.
00:32:34That's so cool! And it's gonna
00:32:36stop the wildfires? We hope so.
00:32:40My team...
00:32:42Our team has
00:32:44been making some progress this week,
00:32:46but we're supposed to roll it out this weekend, so
00:32:48there's not much time.
00:32:50Geez.
00:32:52I didn't know. You should have told me.
00:32:54I tried.
00:32:56I'm sure you can do it, Chris.
00:32:58I'm rooting for you.
00:33:00You know, I'm not used to having
00:33:02someone at home rooting for me.
00:33:04It's new, but...
00:33:08It's nice.
00:34:14I'll be right there.
00:34:23Something wrong? What happened?
00:34:26What happened is...
00:34:30We did it!
00:34:36We did it.
00:34:38It worked!
00:34:40Margaret, this is gonna save
00:34:42lives.
00:34:44Oh!
00:34:46Shoot. I have to go meet with the fire captain.
00:34:48That's the big task. We have to prove this suppressant
00:34:50works. I'll see you later.
00:34:57Yes!
00:34:59The fires are going out.
00:35:01We are kicking this fire's ass.
00:35:03I mean, this is a breakthrough in science.
00:35:05We are making history, my friend.
00:35:08All right, guys.
00:35:10Grab every container we got.
00:35:12Bambi buckets, tsunami tanks.
00:35:14Get them filled and airborne.
00:35:16We're gonna kill this fire now.
00:35:27Stop whatever you're doing
00:35:29and tell those choppers
00:35:31to load the fire suppressant
00:35:33from Foster Corporation.
00:35:35No. We just tested a fire suppressant
00:35:37from Moor Corp.
00:35:39It's superior to that crap you've been sending us.
00:35:41L.A. is burning.
00:35:43We don't have time for your city hall bullshit.
00:35:45And I don't have time for your insubordination.
00:35:47How much kickback are you making
00:35:49from this, Madam Mayor?
00:35:51How many holidays are you going to spend
00:35:53How much kickback are you making from this, Madam Mayor?
00:35:55How many houses need to burn down
00:35:57in order for you to make a profit
00:35:59off of the bogus chemicals that don't even work?
00:36:01I gave you an order.
00:36:03Load my fire suppressant
00:36:05or you're fired.
00:36:07Good. Fired.
00:36:09Because I will not be responsible
00:36:11for your disaster.
00:36:13Your wish is granted.
00:36:15You're fired.
00:36:19This is the end of Chief Taylor.
00:36:21No.
00:36:23I think this is the end of Mayor Davis.
00:36:25Remember, I said it.
00:36:27Get out of here and take this piece of trash with you.
00:36:37Okay.
00:36:39Our deal has changed.
00:36:41One-third is not enough.
00:36:43I want a two-third cut.
00:36:45I need to make some money off of this thing.
00:36:47Don't you look so glum?
00:36:49I'm going to make you CEO
00:36:51of Foster Inc.
00:36:53I got a new plan.
00:36:55Come on.
00:36:57The door won't open itself.
00:37:03Congratulations
00:37:05on your victory.
00:37:07I'm so proud of you.
00:37:09Almost a victory.
00:37:11The mayor showed us down.
00:37:13She's been commuting with your dad.
00:37:15We're finished.
00:37:17She's the whole city holding back her up?
00:37:19Hey, don't let them scare you.
00:37:21Bureaucrats like to live
00:37:23in little protected hives.
00:37:25Once you crack those hives open,
00:37:27they scatter like roaches
00:37:29looking for the nearest drainpipe.
00:37:33Boss, I think your dad
00:37:35set up a board meeting behind your back
00:37:37for tomorrow.
00:37:39Copy that.
00:37:43Great.
00:37:45My biological father is about to ambush me.
00:37:47So it seems like we have
00:37:49a common enemy.
00:37:51And?
00:37:53And I'd like to do you the favor of destroying him.
00:37:55How?
00:37:57Do you want me to put you on the board of directors?
00:37:59No.
00:38:01I want to be your assistant.
00:38:03What?
00:38:05I'm going to be your boss?
00:38:07Mm-hmm.
00:38:09I've got an idea.
00:38:11Okay.
00:38:15All right.
00:38:17Let's make this fast.
00:38:19Margaret cannot be the CEO of this company.
00:38:21I don't care what the will says.
00:38:23Even the mayor wants Margaret out.
00:38:25Shouldn't Margaret be here
00:38:27to at least speak for herself?
00:38:29Don't be dense.
00:38:31Margaret will be out before she knows what hit her.
00:38:33And Caitlin will be in.
00:38:35Any board meeting without my approval
00:38:37is illegal.
00:38:39You are not authorized.
00:38:41She is fully authorized.
00:38:43Not you again.
00:38:45This is a board meeting
00:38:47only for employees of Foster Incorporated.
00:38:49Right.
00:38:51Well, why don't you all help me welcome our newest employee?
00:38:53I put Chris on the payroll this morning.
00:38:55He's my new personal assistant.
00:38:59Assistant of what?
00:39:01Cleaning toilets?
00:39:03Oh, my God.
00:39:05Margaret, this is just so like you.
00:39:07Soling our company
00:39:09with your low-life husband.
00:39:11Well, I'm glad you acknowledge me
00:39:13as Margaret's husband
00:39:15as that covers our first point today
00:39:17on our agenda.
00:39:19Section 12.3.C.
00:39:21Margaret Foster will inherit
00:39:23Foster Inc.
00:39:25so long as she is married
00:39:27by the designated date.
00:39:29So, this means that Margaret
00:39:31is now the owner
00:39:33of Foster Incorporated.
00:39:35From now on, you will call her
00:39:37Madam CEO.
00:39:39No.
00:39:41When are you gonna get me one of those?
00:39:43When you get some class.
00:39:45Don't, pal. We're gonna take them out right now.
00:39:49It doesn't change anything.
00:39:51That's right. This company has been
00:39:53hemorrhaging money because of you, Margaret.
00:39:55We will not let you destroy it.
00:39:57And the only people who can take care of that
00:39:59is sitting right here in this room.
00:40:01Me
00:40:03and my brilliant new man.
00:40:05Steel can turn this company around
00:40:07Like that.
00:40:09Tell them, honey.
00:40:11Get rid of her, and I'll double the company's
00:40:13revenue in four months.
00:40:15Backed by the mayor.
00:40:17My mom. 100%.
00:40:19The mayor herself.
00:40:21That's exactly
00:40:23what we need.
00:40:25I like when you take control.
00:40:27Hold on.
00:40:29Margaret and I can also increase Foster Incorporated's
00:40:31revenues.
00:40:33He's going to double
00:40:35the revenue in four months.
00:40:37No one else can match it.
00:40:39Oh, we can.
00:40:41Chris, what are you saying?
00:40:43Stick with me, okay?
00:40:45What I'm about to say is a promise.
00:40:47A guarantee.
00:40:49Mr. Davis, you claim that you can
00:40:51double revenues in four
00:40:53months. Yes, I can.
00:40:55We will increase revenues
00:40:57tenfold
00:40:59in only one month.
00:41:01Oh, shit.
00:41:09In only one
00:41:11month.
00:41:13Oh, shit.
00:41:15No one can beat that.
00:41:17We can't make that
00:41:19kind of promise. It's impossible.
00:41:21Margaret, follow
00:41:23my lead, okay?
00:41:25This is ludicrous.
00:41:27Okay. How the hell is
00:41:29a homeless deadbeat going to increase
00:41:31company revenue?
00:41:33Margaret is a master of outreach.
00:41:35She will set up a strategic partnership
00:41:37with the Moore Corporation.
00:41:39The Moore Corporation has operations
00:41:41in every country in the world.
00:41:43They won't even take a phone call
00:41:45from Margaret. Oh, but they already
00:41:47have. In fact, the
00:41:49manager has set up a meeting for
00:41:51Margaret tomorrow.
00:41:53Yeah, that's bullshit.
00:41:55Moore Corp would never work with
00:41:57nobody like Margaret. You're delusional.
00:41:59Well, there
00:42:01is no harm to let her try.
00:42:03What?
00:42:05You'd better not disappoint us, Margaret.
00:42:07Okay, let's just make this straight
00:42:09here, okay?
00:42:11Margaret, you have one month
00:42:13to deliver Moore Corp
00:42:15and make this company's revenue, what,
00:42:17tenfold, you said?
00:42:19One month, or else the will
00:42:21is null and void
00:42:23and you
00:42:25disappear forever.
00:42:27Agreed.
00:42:31Oh,
00:42:33you dug your own grave,
00:42:35sis. One month
00:42:37from now, we're going to kick you to the gutter
00:42:39where you belong, with your gutter
00:42:41husband.
00:42:43Got it.
00:42:51Chris, you can't
00:42:53make up stories like this.
00:42:55God, I'm going to lose my mother's company.
00:42:59Why did you tell them that they scheduled a meeting?
00:43:01Because I did.
00:43:05Moore Corp is expecting you.
00:43:07Tomorrow. They are?
00:43:09You're not joking?
00:43:11No. Oh my god, Chris,
00:43:13that's amazing.
00:43:15By the way,
00:43:17his rings, they almost look
00:43:19real. Yeah,
00:43:21almost.
00:43:31Calm
00:43:33down.
00:43:35We're not going to let your daughter beat you.
00:43:37There's no way she can beat me.
00:43:39Moore Corp should never work with a nobody
00:43:41like her, right?
00:43:43What if she makes it happen? Then we'll stop her.
00:43:45How?
00:43:47Gina,
00:43:49I'm sending over the contact info
00:43:51for Christopher Moore,
00:43:53the CEO of Moore Corporation.
00:43:55Tell his office
00:43:57the mayor is coming to see him tomorrow.
00:43:59I expect him to be there.
00:44:03Either Mr. Moore
00:44:05does what I tell him to do,
00:44:07or I'll shut down his operations
00:44:09in the city.
00:44:11That'd be a
00:44:13multi-billion dollar loss for him.
00:44:15Christopher
00:44:17Moore guy is a real mystery man.
00:44:19No public appearances.
00:44:21Then let's not forget
00:44:23we rejected his
00:44:25fire suppressant, so he's probably
00:44:27pretty pissed off at us.
00:44:29Don't worry about that.
00:44:31We'll find out who he is
00:44:33and how to get to him.
00:44:35That's my specialty.
00:44:39I've never
00:44:41met a guy
00:44:43I've never met
00:44:45with the management of a global corporation before.
00:44:47Who knows? Maybe you have
00:44:49and you just didn't know it.
00:44:51I'd know. They're all assholes.
00:44:53You see them coming from a mile away.
00:44:59This PowerPoint
00:45:01isn't quite ready
00:45:03yet, I don't think.
00:45:05We need to grab their attention
00:45:07right away.
00:45:09The flower you're writing,
00:45:11it's a business meeting
00:45:13not a poetry club.
00:45:15I mean, have you heard of
00:45:17bullet points?
00:45:19Why don't you show me what
00:45:21you would do?
00:45:27I don't like the pink.
00:45:29I don't think they're going to like me
00:45:31very much.
00:45:33The CEO loves you.
00:45:35The CEO of
00:45:37Moore Corp? How could he love me?
00:45:39I've never even met the guy.
00:45:41I mean, he knows you.
00:45:43I've mentioned
00:45:45you to him before.
00:45:47Whoa, Chris.
00:45:49You know the CEO?
00:45:51Who are you?
00:45:53I'm just a nobody.
00:45:55You're not a nobody, you're my husband.
00:46:03It's just that these guys
00:46:05don't have the attention spans.
00:46:07With a business proposal, we could do something along the lines of...
00:46:17Today, we are going
00:46:19to be talking about...
00:46:21Do you feel like you're giving a school presentation?
00:46:23Or playing Twister?
00:46:25I'm dramatic vet.
00:46:27I'm pulling their attention.
00:46:29It's acting.
00:46:31Talking about
00:46:33my presentation that I have.
00:46:37Yeah.
00:46:45Good morning,
00:46:47boss.
00:46:49I mean, boxes of
00:46:51mints are on the table if you'd like to try one.
00:46:53He will
00:46:55show us to the office.
00:46:57I will show you to that office.
00:46:59What an honor. It's nice to meet you.
00:47:01I think I've heard your voice before.
00:47:03Oh, of course. We work closely
00:47:05together, and he's
00:47:07my...
00:47:09manager.
00:47:13Do you feel right?
00:47:15I think so.
00:47:17It's fine.
00:47:19I need to
00:47:21sit with you.
00:47:23I have an agreement to sign.
00:47:25She still doesn't know
00:47:27who you are. Copy that.
00:47:29I'll set up the meeting now.
00:47:31Oh, and the mayor wants to meet you.
00:47:33There she is. She's in the office now.
00:47:35What a surprise. Surprise!
00:47:37What's the surprise?
00:47:41Surprise!
00:47:43What's the surprise? Someone else
00:47:45wants a meeting, but they are just going
00:47:47to have to wait.
00:47:55We have been waiting here for half
00:47:57an hour. Yes.
00:47:59That's because you didn't make an appointment
00:48:01in advance. I am the mayor.
00:48:03I know who you are.
00:48:05We all do. My cousin
00:48:07lost her home in the fires.
00:48:09Don't you have more important
00:48:11things to do right now?
00:48:13How dare you!
00:48:15You are just a useless
00:48:17office girl.
00:48:19Now, tell Mr. Moore
00:48:21that I insist...
00:48:23Good morning, Mr. Moore.
00:48:25That's him.
00:48:29Oh, my God.
00:48:31Can you believe
00:48:33they let common street trash
00:48:35in a beautiful building like this?
00:48:37Excuse me.
00:48:39Why don't you call him Mr. Moore?
00:48:41Oh, no, no.
00:48:43I was just saying,
00:48:45Mr. There's More.
00:48:47Like, more mints in the waiting room.
00:48:49What is with the mints here?
00:48:51We've got really good mints.
00:48:53Don't worry about it.
00:48:55I might have underestimated you, okay?
00:48:57But don't you get delusional.
00:48:59Whoever you're meeting has to be
00:49:01a good man.
00:49:03A good man.
00:49:05A good man.
00:49:07A good man.
00:49:09Whoever you're meeting has to be
00:49:11a low-level lackey, let's get real.
00:49:13The mayor and I are meeting
00:49:15the CEO.
00:49:17Which means you
00:49:19have zero chance
00:49:21of ever beating me.
00:49:23Got it?
00:49:25Mr. Moore is
00:49:27on his way. Do you mind waiting
00:49:29here just a bit longer?
00:49:31Sorry your meeting got delayed.
00:49:33Well, I was right on the dot.
00:49:35You see, my husband and I made a presentation
00:49:37together. It's very professional.
00:49:39Do you think Moore Corp is really
00:49:41going to like it?
00:49:43I'm taking three.
00:49:47Meant to be.
00:49:51How dare she? How dare she?
00:49:53Fine.
00:49:55We wait.
00:49:57But he better be here soon.
00:49:59I mean, of course. After all,
00:50:01you're the mayor.
00:50:03Um, thank you all for
00:50:05meeting with me today.
00:50:21And I would love to work with you.
00:50:31Congratulations.
00:50:33He still
00:50:35isn't here? This is outrageous.
00:50:37Mr. Moore is
00:50:39on the way, but you know,
00:50:41LA traffic, plus the fires
00:50:43make it even worse.
00:50:45Excuse me.
00:50:51Sorry to interrupt
00:50:53your indignation, but
00:50:55do you have a sheet protector that I could use?
00:50:57I just signed a contract and I don't want to get it
00:50:59stained or anything.
00:51:01Congratulations, Ms. Foster.
00:51:03Quit playing games.
00:51:05You didn't sign any contract.
00:51:07Well, unfortunately for you, I did.
00:51:09And it's for a $100 million
00:51:11deal.
00:51:13Bullshit.
00:51:17Looks like I will
00:51:19be the CEO of Foster Inc. after all.
00:51:23You must be so proud of
00:51:25your daughter, Dad.
00:51:27Call me that!
00:51:29I will not let you do this.
00:51:31By the way,
00:51:33what are your friends showing up for?
00:51:35Three, two, one.
00:51:41Madam Mayor!
00:51:43What do you have to say about the new fires that just broke out?
00:51:45Oh no, not again.
00:51:49You'll have to schedule
00:51:51an interview with my press team.
00:51:53I don't have time for this right now.
00:51:55Well, it looks like you have plenty of time.
00:51:57Tell us, why aren't you out there
00:51:59stopping the fires? What do you have to say?
00:52:01It is completely unfair
00:52:03that you are judging me.
00:52:05I am working every minute on this.
00:52:07But you rejected
00:52:09Moor Corp's fire suppressant.
00:52:11And you made a deal with Mr. Foster.
00:52:13I had my reasons.
00:52:15And what were they? Personal profits?
00:52:17Stock options?
00:52:19Oh, Mr. Foster.
00:52:21It's you.
00:52:23We got a tip that you have
00:52:25a back-to-the-table deal with Madam Mayor.
00:52:27And that your fire suppressant
00:52:29doesn't even work.
00:52:31That is
00:52:33complete nonsense. Complete
00:52:35nonsense, that is.
00:52:37This is a witch hunt.
00:52:39Madam Mayor, just one more.
00:52:41Ask her why she canned the fire chief
00:52:43while her son is collecting millions
00:52:45as a paid consultant for city contractors.
00:52:47So much corruption,
00:52:49so little time.
00:52:51Let's go.
00:52:53Madam Mayor, just one more for the people.
00:52:55Last question about the personal record.
00:52:59Why aren't you out there
00:53:01trying to stop the fires?
00:53:03It is completely
00:53:05unfair for you to judge me.
00:53:07I have been working on this every day.
00:53:09One of our eyewitness team members
00:53:11has found a secret ledger showing
00:53:13the city is paying triple for the fire suppressant.
00:53:15You know,
00:53:17you were perfect
00:53:19in today's meeting.
00:53:21Yeah, but the CEO, Mr. Moore,
00:53:23didn't show up. I wonder what he's like.
00:53:27Probably
00:53:29just some rich a-hole.
00:53:31That's what you said, remember?
00:53:33Yeah, but
00:53:35his company's actually doing good things.
00:53:37I kind of want to meet him.
00:53:39I don't know if that's a great idea.
00:53:41He's a bachelor,
00:53:43you know? He, uh,
00:53:45might try to steal you from me.
00:53:47Oh, that is not gonna happen.
00:53:51I felt you supporting me
00:53:53today, Chris. All day.
00:53:55I haven't felt that
00:53:57support since my mom passed away.
00:53:59I'm sorry you had to go through that.
00:54:01I know it must have been a very dark time.
00:54:03Choose
00:54:05my rock.
00:54:07I can be the rock of your life now.
00:54:11I want to be the person you lean on
00:54:13when you need it.
00:54:15You know, sometimes I just
00:54:17want to rip your clothes off and drag
00:54:19you to bed, and other times I just want to
00:54:21get closer and feel your heart beating next
00:54:23to mine.
00:54:33My heart is racing
00:54:35for you.
00:54:49My heart is racing for you.
00:54:51My heart is racing for you.
00:54:53My heart is racing for you.
00:54:55My heart is racing for you.
00:54:57My heart is racing for you.
00:54:59My heart is racing for you.
00:55:01My heart is racing for you.
00:55:03My heart is racing for you.
00:55:05My heart is racing for you.
00:55:07My heart is racing for you.
00:55:09My heart is racing for you.
00:55:11My heart is racing for you.
00:55:13My heart is racing for you.
00:55:15My heart is racing for you.
00:55:17Baby, let me love you.
00:55:19Let me love you.
00:55:21Baby, let me love you.
00:55:31You killed it, Margaret.
00:55:33You're a rock star.
00:55:35We're with you, Margaret.
00:55:37Always.
00:55:39You see? Everyone's with you now.
00:55:41No one supports you now.
00:55:43Because this is a bogus agreement.
00:55:45It's a publicity stunt.
00:55:47You see?
00:55:49Like anyone's going to give her
00:55:51a hundred million dollars.
00:55:53Oh my gosh.
00:56:05Put me through to finance.
00:56:07We need to make a bank transfer.
00:56:09Once they find out that
00:56:11my surprise is better than more companies,
00:56:13they're going to cut Margaret
00:56:15off like that.
00:56:19So, uh,
00:56:21who are you supporting now?
00:56:27Are you sure Moore Corp.
00:56:29is not going to pay us?
00:56:35Are you sure Moore Corp.
00:56:37is not going to pay us?
00:56:39A hundred percent.
00:56:41Why would they shell out cash
00:56:43to someone like that?
00:56:45Because a down payment of
00:56:47thirty million dollars
00:56:49just landed in our corporate account.
00:56:51From Moore Corp.
00:56:53Oh, wrong again,
00:56:55Dad.
00:56:57Seems like you're making a real
00:56:59hound dog of that.
00:57:01Just you wait. Once they see that
00:57:03my surprise is superior,
00:57:05all this
00:57:07will be all gone.
00:57:09Margaret,
00:57:11we want you to know that we support you
00:57:13and we've been on your side all along.
00:57:15Yes.
00:57:17I greatly appreciate that.
00:57:21Seems like we have some big things to do.
00:57:27Today's the day
00:57:29that we prove our suppressiveness superior
00:57:31once and for all.
00:57:33Get those stupid reporters off our backs.
00:57:35And as the new fire chief,
00:57:37you know what your job is, right?
00:57:41Fight the fires?
00:57:43No.
00:57:45Make sure you
00:57:47follow my commands.
00:57:51It's them.
00:57:53How did you know
00:57:55they were going to be here?
00:57:57Are you some kind of spy?
00:58:01Are you some kind of spy?
00:58:03Hey, I'm just a regular guy.
00:58:05That's what you said.
00:58:07That's why you like me. Remember?
00:58:09Well, for a regular guy,
00:58:11you sure do have a lot of inside information.
00:58:13I just know they ordered a chopper today.
00:58:15Off record.
00:58:17And I want to know why.
00:58:19There it is.
00:58:31The fires are getting worse.
00:58:33Holy shit.
00:58:37That's not fire suppressant.
00:58:39It's more like fire starter.
00:58:41Call the chopper
00:58:43and tell them to stop dropping it.
00:58:45Oh my god.
00:58:47It's too late.
00:58:49The payloads have all been dropped.
00:58:51Good god, it's coming our direction.
00:58:53You're an idiot.
00:58:55If this reaches us, everything here
00:58:57is going to blow sky high.
00:58:59Oh!
00:59:01No, how do half-wits
00:59:03like this get control of a city?
00:59:05We've got to do something about this.
00:59:07I'll figure something out,
00:59:09but first I've got to get you to safety.
00:59:11Come on.
00:59:17For now, I just want you to stay here
00:59:19and be careful.
00:59:21You need to be careful too, Chris.
00:59:23You're not fireproof, you know.
00:59:25What are you doing here?
00:59:27Step ahead of you.
00:59:29Thought you might need my help.
00:59:31Okay, thank you.
00:59:33Yeah, I've got a few things you can do for me.
00:59:35You've got stuff to do for him?
00:59:37But I thought he was your manager.
00:59:39He is.
00:59:41But the thing is...
00:59:43I'm a...
00:59:45As your manager, I have to
00:59:47look after my employees.
00:59:49I might even give you a raise next year, Chris.
00:59:51Chris?
00:59:55Just stay here.
00:59:57Keep a watch on the fire alerts, okay?
00:59:59I will call my people...
01:00:01our people to protect you.
01:00:05Tomorrow.
01:00:11Call Capstone Fire.
01:00:13Have them come to Margaret's house immediately.
01:00:15Really? You didn't even do that for your own house,
01:00:17which is worth like a hundred million dollars.
01:00:19Okay.
01:00:21I'm only saying her house is worth like half a million.
01:00:23The cost of the service is probably...
01:00:25It's not always about money, Whitman.
01:00:27Okay.
01:00:29Call them right now.
01:00:31You're paying the bill.
01:00:33It's going to be an expensive call.
01:00:43Fire protection service?
01:00:45Where'd they come from?
01:00:49You screwed this up!
01:00:53I could bankrupt you like that!
01:00:55Hold on.
01:00:57I know how to fix all of this with just two words.
01:00:59Moor Corp.
01:01:01Okay?
01:01:03We buy all their fire suppressant.
01:01:05You know, very hush-hush.
01:01:07And then you get all the credit for it.
01:01:09How?
01:01:11They blocked our calls. We can't get to them.
01:01:13Yeah, we can't.
01:01:15But Margaret can.
01:01:17And she
01:01:19is still my daughter.
01:01:23My critics
01:01:25are politically motivated.
01:01:27We have the fires
01:01:29completely under control.
01:01:31This is bullshit.
01:01:33I grew up in Los Angeles.
01:01:35I played in these parks and in these playgrounds.
01:01:37Not to watch it all burn down
01:01:39because these fools
01:01:41won't use a fire suppressant that works.
01:01:43Margaret.
01:01:53I hope you don't mind me
01:01:55interrupting, Mr. Whitman.
01:01:57Huh?
01:01:59Oh, yes.
01:02:01Well, yes, it's my office.
01:02:03It's my office.
01:02:05Well, yes, it's my office.
01:02:07But, you know,
01:02:09if it's important.
01:02:11It is. Chris, my father called.
01:02:13He wants something.
01:02:17My father called.
01:02:19He wants something.
01:02:21The answer is no.
01:02:23If there's something that your dad wants, it's probably that.
01:02:25Maybe not this time.
01:02:27He wants to call a truce.
01:02:29It's very unusual for Mr. Moore
01:02:31to grant a meeting on such short notice.
01:02:33You'll need to be quick.
01:02:35Right.
01:02:37Mr. Moore is a very private man,
01:02:39and this meeting is entirely confidential.
01:02:41Do not try to look at his face.
01:02:43Talk.
01:02:45Well, uh,
01:02:47to be a vendor in this city,
01:02:49you have to go through lots of protocols,
01:02:51and that takes time.
01:02:53We don't have time.
01:02:55We don't have time.
01:02:57We don't have time.
01:02:59Exactly.
01:03:01You see, Mr. Foster's company
01:03:03is already an approved vendor,
01:03:05and so...
01:03:07So we sell to Mr. Foster.
01:03:09He sells to the city.
01:03:11We can't let anyone know.
01:03:13Do I have that right?
01:03:15You are fast, Mr. Moore.
01:03:17So, what's your price?
01:03:19Free.
01:03:21But you have to answer this one question.
01:03:23Why are you doing this?
01:03:27Well,
01:03:29we were just concerned for the city.
01:03:31Cut the bullshit.
01:03:33Speak to me straight,
01:03:35or get out.
01:03:37Okay.
01:03:39O-okay.
01:03:41Let's put our cards on the table.
01:03:45We'll put our cards on the table.
01:03:47We're doing this
01:03:49because
01:03:51our fire suppressant
01:03:53didn't work.
01:03:55It made the fires worse.
01:03:57If the public finds out,
01:03:59we're screwed.
01:04:01So, we'd like to use
01:04:03the Moore Corps fire suppressant.
01:04:05But you can't tell anyone.
01:04:07They have to believe
01:04:09we made it.
01:04:11If you agree,
01:04:13I will guarantee permission
01:04:15of the shopping mall you applied for
01:04:17in downtown L.A.
01:04:19Deal?
01:04:21Deal.
01:04:23We'll deliver
01:04:252,000 tons of the suppressant this afternoon,
01:04:27but you must
01:04:29deploy it immediately.
01:04:31Fine.
01:04:33Just to confirm,
01:04:35what's the price?
01:04:37Zero.
01:04:39You
01:04:41don't pay a penny.
01:04:43Well, that sounds like a win-win.
01:04:45Cut the formalities.
01:04:47We're done here.
01:04:53Okay.
01:04:55Thanks.
01:04:59This guy's a prime idiot.
01:05:01Getting jobs for free.
01:05:03He's a billionaire, you fool.
01:05:05He doesn't care about
01:05:07small money.
01:05:09I knew he wanted to build that mall.
01:05:11That's how I got him.
01:05:13I don't understand.
01:05:15Why did you give it to them for free?
01:05:17Because I got
01:05:19exactly what I wanted.
01:05:23Our fire suppressant
01:05:25didn't work.
01:05:27It made the virus worse.
01:05:35It's been an hour.
01:05:37Why haven't we gotten any word?
01:05:39It's been 20 minutes.
01:05:41The pilots need time to confirm.
01:05:43Mrs. Mayer, it worked.
01:05:45It's like a miracle.
01:05:47Morecorp's suppressant is...
01:05:49Don't say Morecorp.
01:05:51No one is to know
01:05:53where it's from.
01:05:55As far as the world is concerned,
01:05:57it's our suppressant.
01:06:01Got it?
01:06:03Yes, got it. No problem.
01:06:07You know how much money
01:06:09this is gonna make us?
01:06:13You are gonna be known
01:06:15as the mayor who
01:06:17saved the city.
01:06:19And you
01:06:21are gonna win the next election
01:06:23by a landslide.
01:06:25Exactly.
01:06:31Gina,
01:06:33arrange a
01:06:35press conference for tomorrow.
01:06:37We're gonna let everyone know
01:06:39I saved Los Angeles.
01:06:49Every news outlet's saying
01:06:51the same thing.
01:06:53It's not a fluke.
01:06:55The first time in a week,
01:06:57the fires are retreating.
01:06:59What about the suppressant?
01:07:01They've dropped all of it,
01:07:03and they want more.
01:07:05The winds have even died down.
01:07:07It's like nature's on our side now.
01:07:09Finally.
01:07:13Finally.
01:07:16The mayor's calling a press conference.
01:07:18You know she's gonna take credit
01:07:20for stopping the fires.
01:07:22I know she's gonna try.
01:07:24Oh, what about Margaret?
01:07:26This is not good, boss.
01:07:28She really thinks I run more corn.
01:07:30I don't know why.
01:07:32You are entirely unconvincing.
01:07:34I'm totally convincing.
01:07:36What you need
01:07:38is some acting classes.
01:07:40Don't you think it's time
01:07:42to let her in on this?
01:07:44As a matter of fact,
01:07:46I've got it all planned out for tonight.
01:07:48One step ahead of you, boss.
01:07:52Margaret,
01:07:54I have to tell you something.
01:07:56Is my father trying to sabotage me again?
01:07:58You know I'm not afraid of him.
01:08:00No, it's not like that.
01:08:02It's about your husband.
01:08:04My husband,
01:08:06he is totally overprotective.
01:08:08You know that I had to convince him
01:08:10that it was safe enough for me
01:08:12to come into my own office?
01:08:14Margaret,
01:08:16it's about those rings.
01:08:28I have a surprise for you tonight.
01:08:30What is it?
01:08:32I have a surprise for you tonight,
01:08:34sweetheart.
01:08:36Two dozen fresh roses,
01:08:38Nokia Della Luna,
01:08:40oh, and I can finally
01:08:42tell you those rings on your finger
01:08:44are real.
01:08:48They are a little ridiculous.
01:08:50I mean, who has diamonds this size?
01:08:52Well, that's the thing.
01:08:54Some people do have diamonds that size.
01:08:56There's a name for those people.
01:08:58Billionaires.
01:09:00Isabel, what are you talking about?
01:09:02Margaret,
01:09:04I've got something to tell you.
01:09:06Now, I would have told you sooner,
01:09:08but you hate rich people so much
01:09:10that I was afraid you were
01:09:12going to get a guillotine out.
01:09:14How much do you know
01:09:16about Morecorp's CEO, Christopher Moore?
01:09:18He's a
01:09:20rich guy?
01:09:22Who never met with you because he doesn't make public appearances.
01:09:24Yeah?
01:09:26So?
01:09:28Do you remember that private investigator
01:09:30we used to look into that auditing glitch last year?
01:09:32Good God, Isabel, would you just
01:09:34tell me what you're talking about?
01:09:36I asked the PI to trace known records of Moore.
01:09:38There was very
01:09:40little there, but he did find
01:09:42one tidbit. Moore purchased
01:09:44some jewelry.
01:09:46Okay, yeah. Rich guys
01:09:48buy jewelry, so what?
01:09:50So?
01:09:52This
01:09:54is what he bought.
01:09:56Does this look familiar?
01:09:58Yeah, those look like my rings.
01:10:00So, he bought the real ones, and Chris bought copies.
01:10:02Well, this is the ledger entry.
01:10:04Look at the date.
01:10:06He bought these in LA
01:10:08the same day that Chris gave you those.
01:10:16So that means
01:10:18my husband is
01:10:20Christopher Moore?
01:10:22So, you're making a fire suppressant
01:10:24because you work for Moore Corp.?
01:10:26Kind of. Margaret is a master
01:10:28of outreach. She will set up
01:10:30a strategic partnership with the
01:10:32Moore Corporation. Good morning, Mr. Moore.
01:10:34I trusted him! How many times
01:10:36am I going to be lied to in my life?
01:10:38Margaret, your husband's a
01:10:40billionaire. Who cares about you?
01:10:42Every woman in LA
01:10:44wants to be you. No, no,
01:10:46this is so wrong.
01:10:48Okay.
01:10:50Casserole's in the oven.
01:10:52Salad's in the fridge.
01:10:54Jean-Pilard Beaujolais
01:10:56on the chill.
01:11:04Now, let's have a prayer
01:11:06that you'll listen to me with an open mind.
01:11:18Margaret, I have something to tell you.
01:11:22Margaret, I have
01:11:24something to tell you.
01:11:26Margaret, I...
01:11:28Don't say another
01:11:30word.
01:11:32Just leave.
01:11:36You're a liar!
01:11:48I
01:11:50am proud
01:11:52to announce that the fires that have been
01:11:54ravaging this city
01:11:56are now extinguished.
01:11:58These fires are
01:12:00out because of our brave
01:12:02mayor, Michelle
01:12:04David.
01:12:06And I just want to say thank you
01:12:08to the firefighters.
01:12:10I am the one
01:12:12who put out these fires.
01:12:14Girl,
01:12:16you really kicked a billionaire
01:12:18out of your house? He lied to me.
01:12:20I've had enough betrayal for an entire lifetime.
01:12:22I'm sure he had his reasons.
01:12:24He didn't mean to hurt you, Margaret.
01:12:26Yeah, well,
01:12:28it hurts anyway.
01:12:34And I would like to
01:12:36acknowledge myself
01:12:38for the courage,
01:12:40the vision,
01:12:42and the leadership
01:12:44that great leaders show
01:12:46when they're leading.
01:12:50Cringe.
01:12:52You cannot overstate how stupid she is.
01:12:56Can I just say one more thing?
01:12:58No, you cannot.
01:13:00The fire suppressant
01:13:02that put out the fires
01:13:04was created by me
01:13:06and deployed
01:13:08at my command.
01:13:10Yes, yes,
01:13:12yes, thank you.
01:13:14It's me who saved L.A.
01:13:16Support me.
01:13:18Vote for me.
01:13:22Y'all know you can trust me.
01:13:26God bless...
01:13:30Ladies and gentlemen, excuse me.
01:13:32Everything that you have just heard
01:13:34is a fairy tale.
01:13:36Fiction.
01:13:38A lie.
01:13:40Oh, my goodness.
01:13:42Is that your billionaire husband?
01:13:48The mayor has been lying to you all.
01:13:52Pay no attention to this man.
01:13:54Security!
01:13:56Have him removed.
01:13:58Y'all pay no attention to this.
01:14:00There's nothing to see here.
01:14:02The firemen are the true heroes
01:14:04who saved this city.
01:14:06The mayor has time and time again
01:14:08tried to stop them.
01:14:10That is bullshit.
01:14:12Security! Do your jobs!
01:14:14No, no, no, let him speak.
01:14:16It's a free country.
01:14:18Yeah, let him talk.
01:14:20Yeah, we want a statement.
01:14:22Yeah, let him talk.
01:14:24Mayor Davis, why are you afraid of this man?
01:14:26Why are you afraid of this man?
01:14:28Are you hiding something?
01:14:30Of course not.
01:14:32She's afraid of me because she knows
01:14:34that I can tell you all right now
01:14:36what actually happened.
01:14:38And why should we listen to you?
01:14:40Because the fire suppressant
01:14:42that actually put out the fires
01:14:44was supplied by Moor Court.
01:14:46And I am the CEO of Moor Court.
01:14:50I am Christopher Moore.
01:14:52Well, he's not hiding his identity anymore.
01:14:54He's taking on the whole city.
01:14:56Instead of trying to put the fires out,
01:14:58the mayor and her collaborators
01:15:00will profit...
01:15:02I want to watch this live.
01:15:04You coming?
01:15:06No.
01:15:12Yes, hold on, Isabel.
01:15:18My company has been trying to assist
01:15:20the firefighters.
01:15:22He's the CEO of Moor Court?
01:15:24Why didn't you tell me, you dumbass?
01:15:26We don't stop him.
01:15:28We're all screwed.
01:15:30Then do something to stop him.
01:15:32The mayor threatened us, and time and time again
01:15:34tried to get in our way.
01:15:36That is not true.
01:15:38Look, I received a medal
01:15:40for all of my hard work
01:15:42in putting out those fires.
01:15:44I wouldn't have given myself this medal
01:15:46if I didn't deserve it.
01:15:48Mr. Moore, I think there's been
01:15:50a misunderstanding. Can I speak to you
01:15:52privately?
01:15:54The mayor wanted me to remind you
01:15:56about the commission.
01:15:58Shopping mall.
01:16:00Oh, of course.
01:16:02That reminds me. Whitman.
01:16:04Let's play them that video
01:16:06we brought.
01:16:14Our fire suppressant didn't work.
01:16:16It made the fires worse.
01:16:18If the public finds out,
01:16:20we are screwed.
01:16:22Why are you hiding
01:16:24the truth from the citizens in your own city?
01:16:26Okay, this is a
01:16:28complete fabrication.
01:16:30Look at that. It's an
01:16:32AIGCD fake.
01:16:34I have something to say about that.
01:16:44No. No!
01:16:46This man has no
01:16:48business here. He was fired
01:16:50for dereliction of duty.
01:16:52Officers! Remove him!
01:16:58Are you going to stop me?
01:17:02No, sir, chief.
01:17:04We'll clear the way.
01:17:06Everyone,
01:17:08make way for Chief Taylor and his men.
01:17:10They're heroes.
01:17:16They're heroes.
01:17:18Stop them. That's an order.
01:17:22You guys can't
01:17:24come up here.
01:17:26This is a violation.
01:17:28Don't you touch me!
01:17:32We want Chief Taylor
01:17:34reinstated.
01:17:36That's right!
01:17:38Taylor! Taylor!
01:17:40Taylor! Taylor!
01:17:42Taylor! Shut up!
01:17:44All of you
01:17:46are fired.
01:17:48You can't do that.
01:17:50Let him speak.
01:17:52Stop touching me.
01:17:54Ladies and gentlemen,
01:17:56the reason I was dismissed
01:17:58is because I refused
01:18:00to use the mayor's
01:18:02defective fire suppressant.
01:18:04You can't prove that.
01:18:06Actually...
01:18:14I can.
01:18:16Mayor Davis, this is a huge scandal.
01:18:18You should resign.
01:18:20Get out of here!
01:18:22No!
01:18:24Listen to me!
01:18:26Stop it! Stop it!
01:18:28No!
01:18:30Stop it!
01:18:40Before we wrap this up,
01:18:42I'd like to share
01:18:44something personal.
01:18:50Before we wrap this up,
01:18:52I'd like to share
01:18:54something personal with you all.
01:18:56Chief Taylor,
01:18:58if you don't mind.
01:19:00Go ahead.
01:19:02We've all lived
01:19:04through this horrible disaster.
01:19:06But in the midst
01:19:08of tragedy, sometimes
01:19:10you can find clarity,
01:19:12beauty, and even love.
01:19:14The catastrophe of these
01:19:16L.A. wildfires
01:19:18has brought much darkness.
01:19:20But it's also brought
01:19:22people together.
01:19:24It brought a woman with a beautiful heart
01:19:26into my life.
01:19:28And if I can take a moment of your time,
01:19:30I'd like to try to get a message to her.
01:19:32Margaret,
01:19:34I love you.
01:19:36It hurts
01:19:38to not be with you.
01:19:40I know I kept things from you,
01:19:42and that was not right.
01:19:44I don't expect you to forgive me,
01:19:46but if I'm being honest,
01:19:48you're the only person
01:19:50I'll ever love.
01:19:52L.A. is full of idols
01:19:54and superstars,
01:19:56but you, you're the only
01:19:58superstar I've ever wanted
01:20:00or will ever want.
01:20:04The fire's maybe out now,
01:20:06but there's a fire
01:20:08in my heart that will never
01:20:10stop burning.
01:20:12It will burn forever
01:20:14for you.
01:20:18So,
01:20:20if you can find it in your heart to forgive me,
01:20:22no matter how much time it takes,
01:20:24I will be waiting.
01:20:26I don't know where you are,
01:20:28but I hope
01:20:30somehow you've heard
01:20:32my message.
01:20:35I heard it.
01:20:40Margaret,
01:20:42last time you
01:20:44proposed to me,
01:20:46now I'm proposing to you.
01:20:52Margaret,
01:20:54will you marry me
01:20:56and be my wife?
01:21:04Yes.
01:21:06Yes.
01:21:32And you're doing the mountain thing again.
01:21:34I thought you were doing it.
01:21:36I didn't.
01:21:40Mom, that's not good.
01:21:41Christopher Moore's accusing you of embezzlement, money laundering, securities fraud.
01:21:47I will make his life a living hell.
01:21:50Michelle Davis, you're under arrest for 12 counts of corruption.
01:21:55Are you insane?
01:21:57You just committed career suicide.
01:22:00You're fired.
01:22:02You're all fired.
01:22:04She's the mayor and you are under arrest for interfering with law enforcement.
01:22:08Let's go. Take them both.
01:22:10You have the right to remain silent.
01:22:12I fired you.
01:22:13You're going to regret this.
01:22:17Hurry up. We need to run. The police will be here soon.
01:22:20Why should I leave? I don't want to go anywhere.
01:22:23I've got three tickets to Venezuela. You get to sit by the window.
01:22:27We have to rebuild our lives there.
01:22:29Don't worry. I have plenty of cash and I have a buyer lined up for the house.
01:22:34Apologies.
01:22:36But you can't sell something that's not rightfully yours.
01:22:40What the hell is going on here?
01:22:42You can't sell my mother's house because you acquired it illegally.
01:22:47Margaret.
01:22:49My daughter.
01:22:51I wasn't going to sell it.
01:22:53It belongs to you.
01:22:54Your mother's company, her home, it's all yours.
01:22:57Chris.
01:22:59Mr. Moore.
01:23:01I'm your father-in-law.
01:23:03And I'm almost 60. You don't want to put me away, do you?
01:23:07You know, you have a good point, Dad.
01:23:10Oh, wait. You asked me specifically to not call you that.
01:23:14You know, in fact, since the day that I met you, you've done nothing but try to destroy your own daughter.
01:23:19No.
01:23:20You're paying for what you did, Dad.
01:23:23Hey!
01:23:25How dare you put your own father in jail?
01:23:30You are an ungrateful little bitch.
01:23:35Oh, I forgot. You can't leave the country until the trial's over.
01:23:49Oh, and by the way, your assets are frozen, so you can't stay at this hotel.
01:23:54But don't worry. We've made arrangements for you to stay at a different place.
01:23:59What other arrangements?
01:24:01You know that Motel 6 right around the corner?
01:24:04What?
01:24:05No.
01:24:07No, no, no!
01:24:13Those cheating scumbags can't get their hands on this house ever again.
01:24:17Never again.
01:24:23I bet your mom was an amazing person. I'm sure she loved you so much.
01:24:28She always wanted me to get married in her wedding dress.
01:24:40She'd say no matter where she was, she'd be able to feel it, heart to heart.
01:24:45What do you think?
01:24:47I think you are so radiant that she can most certainly see your glow all the way from heaven.
01:24:53Well, if she is really looking down, then she'll be very glad to know that I found a much better man.
01:25:01And I bet she'd be so excited to know that I'm marrying a...
01:25:05A bodyguard?
01:25:07No. A fireman.
