00:03:07This is my fiancee, the cheating asshole.
00:03:12Oh my God. I gotta get out of here.
00:03:26Boss, a private helicopter's on the way.
00:03:28They'll airlift you out.
00:03:29You take the airlift. I'm gonna go check on the neighbors.
00:03:31What? No! Boss! Come on!
00:03:33L.A.'s an inferno. Everyone's in danger.
00:03:35I know. That's why I've gotta stay.
00:03:37Goddamn wildfires.
00:03:39Boss!
00:03:58Boss!
00:04:17Is that bitch still in there?
00:04:20Whatever.
00:04:21Oh no! Oh no!
00:04:24Someone has to help us!
00:04:26I can't lose my custom-built home.
00:04:29Help! Help!
00:04:31Help!
00:04:34Guys, you've gotta evacuate. Get out of here.
00:04:36Evacuate?
00:04:37The minimal appraisal value is ten million.
00:04:44Okay, clear out.
00:04:46Is someone still in there?
00:04:47Not just my stupid sister. Who cares about her?
00:04:50What's her name?
00:04:52Uh, Margaret. But you can just call her Loser.
00:04:55If you're going inside, I have ten Hermes bags.
00:04:58They're for a kid.
00:05:00Okay.
00:05:01You have to take them, please.
00:05:02Okay.
00:05:04They're in my closet.
00:05:06I think he might do it.
00:05:09Margaret!
00:05:12Margaret, where are you?
00:05:15Can you hear me?
00:05:19Oh no.
00:05:23Oh no.
00:05:24Margaret!
00:05:40Margaret, can you hear me?
00:05:43You're gonna be okay, alright?
00:05:46Thanks.
00:05:51Congrats on your wedding.
00:05:54It belonged to my mom.
00:05:56That's great.
00:05:58Hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:06:00Hold on to me, okay?
00:06:04Let's get out of here.
00:06:13Come on.
00:06:25Where are my designer pants?
00:06:28You guys need to take her to the hospital right now.
00:06:30You saved her? Why?
00:06:32She doesn't even live in this zip code.
00:06:34If you all don't take her to safety, you'll all be charged with attempted murder.
00:06:37Uh, don't talk to me like that.
00:06:39You cringy firefighter.
00:06:41Take her to the hospital now.
00:06:43You're ridiculous.
00:06:44Fine, you take her.
00:06:49Stop touching her.
00:06:50Then how am I supposed to carry her?
00:06:52I don't know.
00:07:08Cancel the engagement.
00:07:09Are you out of your mind?
00:07:13Are you out of your mind?
00:07:14I 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 the wave of her hand.
00:07:22I don't care if she can fart rainbows with a wave of her butt.
00:07:26Oh, and did they tell you that he's been fucking Caitlyn?
00:07:30Watch your mouth.
00:07:32Tell her to watch what she sticks between her legs.
00:07:35Don't you dare talk to me like that.
00:07:37I should have let you die in that house so you can burn in hell.
00:07:41You tried to leave me there, remember?
00:07:43You think I don't know that?
00:07:44Cut the crap.
00:07:45You're gonna marry Steele and you're gonna make him happy.
00:07:49I'm not a tramp who sells my body to men for money.
00:07:53That's more Caitlyn style.
00:07:59You know what?
00:08:00Dad, you can climb into bed with the Wicked Witch of the West every night.
00:08:05That's your business.
00:08:06But I will not sleep with some slimy ass bottom feeder to make you happy.
00:08:11Well, then you can kiss your inheritance goodbye.
00:08:14I guess I'll be taking over your mother's company.
00:08:16She left it to me.
00:08:18Anyway, if you're married by next week,
00:08:21then what are you going to do if Steele dumps you?
00:08:24Just look at you.
00:08:25You can't even get out of bed.
00:08:30Oh, gosh, Raveena.
00:08:33It looks like I can get out of bed after all.
00:08:37And you can't stop me.
00:08:41Are you high?
00:08:42Where the hell do you think you're going?
00:08:44To find a husband.
00:08:49To find a husband.
00:08:58And I know just where to find him.
00:09:01Stop right now, young lady.
00:09:03Stop her.
00:09:09A $50 million donation?
00:09:12This is a godsend.
00:09:14Look, man, you guys are the real heroes.
00:09:17Maybe I could help.
00:09:18Well, I appreciate it.
00:09:20I actually got you a gift.
00:09:24Come on, Raveena. I didn't have to do that.
00:09:31Chieftain, this is perfect.
00:09:33Thank you. Sincerely.
00:09:47Who did it to me? Where is he?
00:09:50Who did what to you?
00:09:52Saved my life yesterday.
00:09:57No, no, not you either.
00:10:01No, you're not the one.
00:10:03He's not here.
00:10:09What about that guy?
00:10:12You're... Let's go.
00:10:14Excuse me for a second, sir.
00:10:18It's you.
00:10:21I'm sorry, miss?
00:10:23You're the guy.
00:10:25I think you might have me wrong.
00:10:33Whoa, slow down.
00:10:36It's me, Margaret.
00:10:40I know I'm silly. I shouldn't have come here.
00:10:42I just... I have nowhere else to go.
00:10:45No one to trust.
00:10:47I lost everything that I had.
00:10:50Hey, it's okay. You're safe now.
00:10:55You say you were.
00:11:15Margaret.
00:11:17I knew you'd remember me.
00:11:19I'm sorry I didn't recognize you.
00:11:31Man, that's...
00:11:34I don't know what he's going to do after that.
00:11:41I'm sorry.
00:11:44Okay.
00:11:46I have two requests.
00:11:48Okay.
00:11:49First, in the future when we do that,
00:11:51your hugs don't have to be so delicate.
00:11:54I'm not breakable. Agreed?
00:11:56Yeah, sure.
00:11:58And my second request is...
00:12:01Marry me.
00:12:03What?
00:12:04I'll explain all the details later, but we gotta go right now.
00:12:07Hey, if he doesn't want to, I'm available.
00:12:10Yeah, me too. I'm here all day.
00:12:12When it comes to hot women, nobody handles them like firemen.
00:12:15We're specialists.
00:12:17Whoa, easy. Down, down, boys.
00:12:20Did any of the three of you hear me say no?
00:12:23Let's go.
00:12:24Why couldn't that happen to me?
00:12:28We'll have a big ceremony later.
00:12:30For now, this makes it official.
00:12:33By the way, how do you feel about kids?
00:12:36I feel great about kids.
00:12:39When I was a little girl,
00:12:40my mom always told me to always wear nice pajamas to bed.
00:12:43You know why?
00:12:44Why?
00:12:45In case of an emergency, if a fireman came in,
00:12:48she said,
00:12:49you never know,
00:12:50one day he might become your husband.
00:12:52I'm Margaret.
00:12:54I'm sorry I haven't had the chance to tell you this yet,
00:12:56but I'm not actually a firefighter.
00:12:58I just happened to be there and was able to help that day.
00:13:04But you saved my life
00:13:07and my mother's trust,
00:13:09and that meant a lot to me.
00:13:11You're my hero.
00:13:13I should tell her who I am.
00:13:16Margaret, I love...
00:13:32Okay, I can tell her later.
00:13:36You know, we can't just kiss
00:13:39every single time we look into each other's eyes.
00:13:42You're right.
00:13:43You're right.
00:13:45No, no, you're not.
00:13:55Oh.
00:13:56Oh.
00:13:57Right, thank you.
00:14:02Come on.
00:14:06Well, my husband, shall we go to your place or mine?
00:14:10I'm...
00:14:11I'm actually homeless.
00:14:13My house burned down in the fires.
00:14:16I'm so sorry.
00:14:18Well, you're my husband now,
00:14:20so you can just move in with me.
00:14:22I'll help you move.
00:14:23I can't let her know I'm staying in the W Hotel.
00:14:26It's too fancy.
00:14:30That's so kind and sweet of you,
00:14:32but I wouldn't want you to get your hands dirty.
00:14:34I'll handle the moving.
00:14:36Okay.
00:14:38Well,
00:14:40this
00:14:42is my address.
00:14:44See you soon, husband.
00:14:52Dad, you can't make me sleep on the floor
00:14:55while you sleep with my mother
00:14:57on the Eiderdown Savoir Grand Emperor bed.
00:15:01That's not fair, no.
00:15:03Book me a suite right now.
00:15:06Are you delusional?
00:15:08Every decent hotel runs out of rooms.
00:15:12Oh, how about you go get yourself a room at the Motel 6?
00:15:16What? No!
00:15:19Honey,
00:15:20can I stay at your place?
00:15:22Look, either we solve this with Margaret,
00:15:25or we're gonna leave.
00:15:26No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:15:28We'll fix it.
00:15:29She will marry you.
00:15:30Excuse her.
00:15:31She's still a little out of sorts
00:15:33after the whole city-burning-down thing.
00:15:36Well, she's gonna have to come crawling back to me
00:15:38on her knees.
00:15:39Too bad you couldn't choose Caitlin instead.
00:15:42No, Ravine, this is a business transaction.
00:15:45Steele marries Margaret,
00:15:46then becomes CEO of Foster Incorporated,
00:15:50my ex-wife's business.
00:15:52That's the perfect arrangement,
00:15:54because Margaret supplies Steele with the money,
00:15:57and Caitlin supplies him with other benefits.
00:16:02They're like a tag team.
00:16:04A tag team?
00:16:12Let's get this clear once and for all.
00:16:15None of you are ever getting your hands
00:16:17on my mother's money, ever.
00:16:19Not you, not my sleazy, ask-for-sales stepsister,
00:16:23not this cheating man-whore,
00:16:26whoever the hell you are.
00:16:34For your information,
00:16:36I'm the mayor of this city,
00:16:38and you just called my son a man-whore.
00:16:43You will apologize.
00:16:45Now, on your knees,
00:16:49or I will crush you.
00:16:52No, I don't get on my knees.
00:16:55That's Caitlin's specialty.
00:16:57But I am so sorry that I called your son a man-whore.
00:17:01I should have called him a wannabe man-whore,
00:17:04because he only has one pitiful pickup line.
00:17:07My mother's the mayor.
00:17:09A mayor who let the reservoirs get so dry
00:17:12that the whole city could burn.
00:17:14You want me to apologize?
00:17:16You should be apologizing to the people of this city.
00:17:19Hey, one more word.
00:17:22Sit down and shut up.
00:17:25You will be a humble, obedient, respectful wife,
00:17:30or you will never inherit that company.
00:17:33I'm afraid I can't marry Steele.
00:17:36Don't you know that polygamy is illegal in California?
00:17:39A woman can't have two husbands.
00:17:41What are you talking about?
00:17:44Well, you see, I'm already married.
00:17:50My paper beats your paper.
00:17:53What did you do, grab some homeless guy to marry?
00:18:00Everyone knows you were engaged to the mayor's son.
00:18:04How dare you embarrass the mayor publicly?
00:18:08You are a liability to this company,
00:18:10and you'll be replaced as the CEO by me.
00:18:13I am the new CEO.
00:18:15That is not gonna happen.
00:18:18Hmm.
00:18:23I'll catch up with you guys in a little bit.
00:18:25I have to go clear out my room.
00:18:27Boss, you married a girl you don't even know?
00:18:30What were you thinking?
00:18:35Whitman, sometimes in life you crunch the numbers
00:18:39and read the market and leverage your assets.
00:18:43And then there's other times you just listen to your heart.
00:18:47This is one of those times.
00:18:52There's my wife right now.
00:18:58Harvard, you're done.
00:19:01Who's that creep that's threatening her?
00:19:03That's Jackson Foster, your father-in-law.
00:19:06I did some research. Step ahead of you, boss.
00:19:09Well, I'm gonna put an end to this.
00:19:13Anyone can make a fake marriage license.
00:19:16Just admit you don't have a husband.
00:19:18Excuse me. Who the hell are you?
00:19:22I'm Margaret's husband, Dad.
00:19:25Is this some kind of joke?
00:19:27You get the joke?
00:19:29Of course it's you.
00:19:31You found some random fireman to marry.
00:19:34Oh, thank you.
00:19:36How pathetic.
00:19:38How much does he make a year?
00:19:40Like 30,000 after taxes?
00:19:43You really lowered yourself, Margaret.
00:19:46A fireman?
00:19:49What's wrong with being a fireman?
00:19:53Poor.
00:19:55Stinky.
00:19:57These men save your lives and you bitches point your noses down at them?
00:20:01They're saving this city because she was too inept to do it.
00:20:05Keep it up.
00:20:07And I'll wipe that ugly look off of your face permanently.
00:20:11You know who I am.
00:20:14Move your fat asses.
00:20:16Go out there and do your goddamn jobs.
00:20:19And stop interrupting us.
00:20:22I'm sorry?
00:20:23We all know who you are, Miss Do-Nothing Mayor.
00:20:28Why are you here sitting in a hotel lobby blabbing while the whole city is burning down?
00:20:33Who are you to challenge me?
00:20:36I can fire all of you.
00:20:39Hey, guys.
00:20:41We're being fired.
00:20:43Oh, wait a minute.
00:20:44You're not our chief, so you can't fire us.
00:20:47That's it.
00:20:48We're done talking to you idiots.
00:20:49As for you, you're going to dump this pathetic loser and you're coming home with me.
00:20:55Touch her again and I will drop you where you stand.
00:20:58You and what army?
00:21:00This army.
00:21:02You owe us an apology.
00:21:04All of you.
00:21:06Apologize.
00:21:08Now.
00:21:09Oh, poor fireman.
00:21:12I'm so sorry.
00:21:15Sorry about to get your asses kicked out of here.
00:21:18Security!
00:21:23Good move, Madam Mayor.
00:21:25And when this whole city burns down, how are you going to explain to your people
00:21:28that you fired the firefighters that were trying to protect it?
00:21:31This is breaking news.
00:21:33It seems the mayor is firing a team of firefighters.
00:21:36Madam Mayor, do you have a comment?
00:21:39I would never do that.
00:21:41L.A. firefighters are our true heroes.
00:21:44I'm here to support them.
00:21:47That is very lovely.
00:21:49By the way, why are you here in a luxury hotel when the entire city is on fire?
00:21:54She was cutting a deal for a corporate takeover with a rich-ass CEO.
00:21:59Rich-ass CEO?
00:22:02Madam Mayor, is that true?
00:22:04And do you have a comment?
00:22:06As I said, I am here to support these brave men.
00:22:12Go, firefighters!
00:22:15You know, many people are criticizing your complete and utter incompetence
00:22:19in the handling of the wildfires.
00:22:21In fact, people are pointing out the fact that you cut $17.5 million
00:22:26from the fire department's budget right as the wildfires were starting.
00:22:30What is your response?
00:22:37I have no comment.
00:22:41No comment.
00:22:45You know, not all rich CEOs are assholes.
00:22:49Believe me, they're all aggressive narcissists.
00:22:52I've seen way too many of them.
00:22:54That's why I just want a regular guy like you.
00:22:56Okay, I don't think she's going to like me if I tell her who I am.
00:22:59That's right.
00:23:00So, how much did she pay you to be her fake husband?
00:23:04Well, like a hundred bucks a day.
00:23:07Boy, you've really gotten desperate, huh?
00:23:10Hiring some nobody to pretend to be your husband just to cheat us?
00:23:14Just so you could comply to the will and take over the company?
00:23:18That's very clever.
00:23:20How many times do I have to tell you that this is 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 by me.
00:23:38You married me for a business deal and didn't tell me?
00:23:43It wasn't for a business deal.
00:23:46It was a lawyer thing.
00:23:48I had to get married by next week,
00:23:50or else I wouldn't have been able to inherit my mother's company, but it...
00:23:53I'm such an idiot.
00:23:57But...
00:24:01It wasn't a fake marriage!
00:24:03Don't go!
00:24:06He's a fireman?
00:24:08Oh, that is hot.
00:24:10Oh, he's incredibly hot, even though he's not an actual firefighter.
00:24:14She thinks you're hot, and you saved her life.
00:24:17That's a pretty good start.
00:24:19So, he saved your life, and then you told him you needed a husband for the inheritance,
00:24:23and then he said...
00:24:24Actually, I didn't tell him that.
00:24:28Yeah, but I didn't hear that from her.
00:24:30I'm sure she was planning to.
00:24:32But there was a lot going on, you know?
00:24:34I almost died in a fire, and then I escaped the hospital,
00:24:37and the next thing you know, I'm kissing Violet.
00:24:39And he kissed you back?
00:24:41Well, no, I mean, it was more than a kiss.
00:24:43I mean, it was like it was melting into him.
00:24:46She makes me feel like she's melting into me.
00:24:49I've never had anybody make me feel that way before.
00:24:52But then to find out that she wasn't being honest with me?
00:24:55You can still fix this, Margaret.
00:24:57Go talk to him.
00:24:59No!
00:25:00Talk to her.
00:25:02No, she was hiding things from me.
00:25:04What about you?
00:25:06I told her the truth, that I am not a firefighter, but was just a helper.
00:25:11What about the fact that you're the CEO of the Fortune 500 company
00:25:14with a net worth of like 1.8 billion?
00:25:16I didn't tell her that part, all right?
00:25:18What if I talk to him, and he just shuts me out?
00:25:21She's afraid you'll shut her out.
00:25:23Do you want to shut her out? Really?
00:25:25What do you really want, Margaret?
00:25:28This is one of those moments in life where it's do or die.
00:25:30You need to open up to him.
00:25:47Thank you, guys. I appreciate it.
00:25:50Thanks for doing our part.
00:25:52Boss. Boss.
00:25:54Hi.
00:26:12Hi, Chris.
00:26:15I know you're busy with the fires.
00:26:18Hi, Margaret.
00:26:20I have something I need to tell you.
00:26:22Now is probably not the best time.
00:26:24I just wanted to say that I'm sorry.
00:26:26I know that you're upset with me.
00:26:28I didn't mean to keep things from you.
00:26:30Everything just started happening so fast.
00:26:33I don't expect you to forgive me, but...
00:26:36I needed you to know that I'm sorry.
00:26:49Wait.
00:26:52How did you find me?
00:26:54I was just driving around.
00:26:56I figured you'd be near the fires.
00:26:58Do not do that again.
00:27:00I...
00:27:02Just stay away, okay?
00:27:08Just stay away, okay?
00:27:11If you want to contact me, call me,
00:27:14and tell me where to meet you,
00:27:16but please let it be a safe place.
00:27:18You mean you want me to contact you?
00:27:20I certainly don't want you driving around in a red zone.
00:27:23It's far too dangerous.
00:27:25Right.
00:27:27I'll be more careful next time.
00:27:29Will there be a next time?
00:27:32Listen.
00:27:34I didn't exactly tell you everything about me either, okay?
00:27:37Wow. You were so mad that you took your ring off, huh?
00:27:42But when I saw you in that fire,
00:27:45and then afterwards,
00:27:47you 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 circumstance.
00:28:00I'm sure I'm never going to do anything like that in my life ever again.
00:28:03I know. It's just that my financial situation is not what...
00:28:16How do you do that?
00:28:19Do that thing where you make me melt into you?
00:28:22Me?
00:28:24I thought you did that.
00:28:26Isn't that what you do?
00:28:27No. It just happens.
00:28:29It's never happened to me before, but
00:28:31it only happens when I'm with you.
00:28:40I'm sorry.
00:28:43I'm sorry.
00:28:59We were talking about something. What was that again?
00:29:02Money.
00:29:04Right. Money.
00:29:06Oh my God. Who cares about money?
00:29:08I don't care if you're poor or in debt or whatever.
00:29:11Well, that's the thing. I'm not actually...
00:29:13I don't want a rich man.
00:29:15I mean, my father is one, and my stepmother, and you've seen them.
00:29:19They're like a cross between Rita Repulsive and Mr. Krabs.
00:29:22Okay, but you don't think every rich person is like that, right?
00:29:27Look, let's just leave it at this.
00:29:29You don't have money, and so what?
00:29:31I don't need all the details.
00:29:33Are you sure?
00:29:35You're not going to abandon me because I'm poor?
00:29:39You are the most handsome, smartest man that I have ever met.
00:29:44I will never abandon you.
00:29:47Let's just...
00:29:49They will be totally honest with each other from now on.
00:29:53Promise?
00:30:02What's next?
00:30:10Here's your new home.
00:30:12My husband.
00:30:14I am a lucky guy.
00:30:16Come on in.
00:30:27Sorry about the space.
00:30:29My company's struggling a little bit, so it's a bit modest, but...
00:30:32No, don't!
00:30:35Oh!
00:30:37Stop it! Stop it!
00:30:44I'm sorry.
00:30:46I could fix your pipes for you so that it doesn't explode again.
00:30:51Sure, of course.
00:30:57This should probably...
00:31:05He's so hot.
00:31:16It should be all good.
00:31:21Sam?
00:31:23What's up?
00:31:34I'm sorry.
00:32:04Sorry, I've got to take it. It's work.
00:32:06I know.
00:32:08This better be important.
00:32:10That's a big move.
00:32:12I'll see what I can do.
00:32:14I'm so sorry.
00:32:16I've got to go to work.
00:32:18What?
00:32:19I know.
00:32:20Chris, what is it you actually do for a living?
00:32:24So, you're making a fire suppressant because you work for Morcorp?
00:32:29Kind of.
00:32:30That's so cool! And it's going to stop the wildfires?
00:32:33We hope so.
00:32:37My team...
00:32:39Our team has been making some progress this week,
00:32:42but we're supposed to roll it out this weekend, so there's not much time.
00:32:47Geez.
00:32:49I didn't know. You should have told me.
00:32:51I tried.
00:32:52Well, I'm sure you can do it, Chris.
00:32:54I'm rooting for you.
00:32:56You know, I'm not used to having someone at home rooting for me.
00:33:00It's new, but...
00:33:04It's nice.
00:34:15I'll be right there.
00:34:19Okay.
00:34:25Something wrong? What happened?
00:34:27What happened is...
00:34:31We did it!
00:34:37We did it.
00:34:40It worked!
00:34:42Margaret, this is going to save lives.
00:34:45Oh!
00:34:47Shoot. I have to go meet with the fire captain.
00:34:49He says it's the big test. We have to prove this suppression works.
00:34:52I'll see you later.
00:35:00Yes!
00:35:02The fires are going out!
00:35:04We are kicking this fire's ass!
00:35:06I mean, this is a breakthrough in science!
00:35:08We are making history, my friend.
00:35:11All right, guys. Grab every container we got.
00:35:15Tsunami buckets. Tsunami tanks.
00:35:17Get them filled and airborne.
00:35:19We're going to kill this fire now.
00:35:34Stop whatever you're doing and tell those choppers
00:35:37to load the fire suppressant from Foster Corporation.
00:35:41No. We just tested a fire suppressant from Moorcorp.
00:35:44It's superior to that crap you've been sending us.
00:35:47L.A. is burning. We don't have time for your city hall bullshit.
00:35:50And I don't have time for your insubordination.
00:35:53How much kickback are you making from this, Madam Mayor?
00:35:56How many houses need to burn down in order for you to make a profit
00:35:59off of the bogus chemicals that don't even work?
00:36:02I gave you an order.
00:36:04Load my fire suppressant or you're fired.
00:36:07Good. Fire.
00:36:09Because I will not be responsible for your disaster.
00:36:12Your wish is granted.
00:36:15You're fired.
00:36:19This is the end of Chief Taylor.
00:36:22No. I 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.
00:36:38Okay. Our 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.
00:36:48Don't you look so glum?
00:36:50I'm gonna make you CEO of Foster, Inc.
00:36:54I got a new plan.
00:36:57Come on. The door won't open itself.
00:37:05Congratulations on your victory. I'm so proud of you.
00:37:09Almost a victory.
00:37:11The mayor shut us down.
00:37:13She's been colluding with your dad.
00:37:16We're finished.
00:37:18She's the whole city holding back her up.
00:37:21Hey, don't let them scare you.
00:37:23Bureaucrats like to live in little protected hives.
00:37:26Once you crack those hives open,
00:37:28they scatter like roaches looking for the nearest drainpipe.
00:37:34Boss, I think your dad set up a board meeting
00:37:37behind your back for tomorrow.
00:37:40Copy that.
00:37:44Great. My biological father is about to ambush me.
00:37:47So it seems like we have a common enemy.
00:37:51And?
00:37:53And I'd like to do you the favor of destroying him.
00:37:56How? Do you want me to put you on the board of directors?
00:38:00No, no. I want to be your assistant.
00:38:03What? I'm going to be your boss?
00:38:07Mm-hmm. I've got an idea.
00:38:10Okay.
00:38:17All right, let'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.
00:38:26Shouldn't Margaret be here to at least speak for herself?
00:38:29Don't be dense.
00:38:31Margaret will be out before she knows what hit her.
00:38:34And Caitlin will be in.
00:38:36Any board meeting without my approval is illegal.
00:38:39You are not authorized.
00:38:41She is fully authorized.
00:38:44What the hell? Not you again.
00:38:46This is a board meeting only for employees of Foster Incorporated.
00:38:51Right. Well, why don't you all help me welcome our newest employee?
00:38:55I put Chris on the payroll this morning.
00:38:57He's my new personal assistant.
00:39:00Assistant of what? Cleaning toilets?
00:39:04Oh, my God.
00:39:06Margaret, this is just so like you.
00:39:09Soling our company with your low-life husband.
00:39:13Well, I'm glad you acknowledge me as Margaret's husband,
00:39:16as that covers our first point today on our agenda.
00:39:19Section 12.3.C.
00:39:22Margaret Foster will inherit Foster Inc.
00:39:25so long as she is married by the designated date.
00:39:29So, this means that Margaret is now the owner of Foster Incorporated.
00:39:36From now on, you ought to call her Madam CEO.
00:39:41When are you going to get me one of those?
00:39:44When you get some class.
00:39:46Don't, pal. We're going to take them out right now.
00:39:50It doesn't change anything.
00:39:52That's right. This company has been hemorrhaging money because of you, Margaret.
00:39:56We will not let you destroy it.
00:39:58The only people who can take care of that is sitting right here in this room.
00:40:02Me and my brilliant new man.
00:40:06Steel can turn this company around like that.
00:40:10Tell them, honey.
00:40:12Get rid of her, and I'll double the company's revenue in four months.
00:40:16Backed by the mayor.
00:40:17My mom.
00:40:18100%.
00:40:20The mayor herself.
00:40:23That's exactly what we need.
00:40:25I like when you take control.
00:40:28Hold on. Margaret and I can also increase Foster Incorporated's revenues.
00:40:35He's going to double the revenue in four months.
00:40:38No one else can match it.
00:40:40Oh, we can.
00:40:42Chris, what are you saying?
00:40:44Stick with me, okay?
00:40:46What I'm about to say is a promise.
00:40:48A guarantee.
00:40:50Mr. Davis, you claim that you can double revenues in four months.
00:40:55Yes, I can.
00:40:56We will increase revenues tenfold.
00:40:59In only one month.
00:41:10In only one month.
00:41:14Ah, shit.
00:41:16No one can beat that.
00:41:18We can't make that kind of promise.
00:41:21It's impossible.
00:41:22Margaret, follow my lead, okay?
00:41:26This is ludicrous.
00:41:28Okay.
00:41:29How the hell is a homeless deadbeat going to increase company revenue?
00:41:33Margaret is a master of outreach.
00:41:36She will set up a strategic partnership with the Moore Corporation.
00:41:39The Moore Corporation has operations in every country in the world.
00:41:43They won't even take a phone call from Margaret.
00:41:46Oh, but they already have.
00:41:48In fact, the manager has set up a meeting for Margaret tomorrow.
00:41:53Yeah, that's bullshit.
00:41:56Moore Corp. would never work with a nobody like Margaret.
00:41:58You're delusional.
00:42:00Well, there is no harm to let her try.
00:42:04What?
00:42:05You'd better not disappoint us, Margaret.
00:42:07Okay, let's just make this straight here, okay?
00:42:11Margaret, you have one month to deliver Moore Corp.
00:42:15and make this company's revenue, what, tenfold, you said?
00:42:18One month, or else the will is null and void
00:42:23and you disappear forever.
00:42:28Agreed.
00:42:32Oh, you dug your own grave, sis.
00:42:36One month from now, we're going to kick you to the gutter,
00:42:39where you belong, with your gutter husband.
00:42:52Chris, you can't make 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?
00:43:02Because I did.
00:43:06Moore Corp. is expecting you, tomorrow.
00:43:09They are? You're not joking?
00:43:12No.
00:43:13Oh my God, Chris, that's amazing.
00:43:16By the way, his rings, they almost look real.
00:43:21Yeah, almost.
00:43:24Oh.
00:43:33Calm down.
00:43:36We're not going to let your daughter beat you.
00:43:38There's no way she can beat me.
00:43:40Moore Corp. has never worked with a nobody like her, right?
00:43:43But what if she makes it happen?
00:43:45Then we'll stop her.
00:43:46How?
00:43:49Gina, I'm sending over the contact info for Christopher Moore,
00:43:54the CEO of Moore Corporation.
00:43:57Tell his office the mayor is coming to see him tomorrow.
00:44:01I expect him to be there.
00:44:04Either Mr. Moore does what I tell him to do,
00:44:08or I'll shut down his operations in the city.
00:44:12That'd be a multi-billion dollar loss for him.
00:44:17Christopher Moore guy is a real mystery man.
00:44:21No public appearances.
00:44:23And let's not forget,
00:44:25we rejected his fire suppressant,
00:44:28so he's probably pretty pissed off at us.
00:44:30Don't worry about that.
00:44:32We'll find out who he is and how to get to him.
00:44:35That's my specialty.
00:44:41I've never met with a guy like him.
00:44:44I've never met with the management of a global corporation before.
00:44:48Who knows?
00:44:49Maybe you have and you just didn't know it.
00:44:52I'd know.
00:44:53They're all assholes.
00:44:54You see them coming from a mile away.
00:45:00This PowerPoint isn't quite ready yet, I don't think.
00:45:06You need to grab their attention right away.
00:45:09And the flower you're writing,
00:45:12it's a business meeting, not a poetry club.
00:45:16I mean, have you heard of bullet points?
00:45:19Okay, all right, all right.
00:45:21Well, why don't you show me what you would do?
00:45:23Okay.
00:45:24The presentation.
00:45:28Like the pink?
00:45:30I don't think they're going to like me very much.
00:45:34The CEO loves you.
00:45:37The CEO of Moore Corp?
00:45:39How could he love me? I've never even met the guy.
00:45:42I mean, he knows you.
00:45:45I've mentioned you to him before.
00:45:48Whoa, Chris, you 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.
00:46:04It's just that these guys don't have the attention spans.
00:46:07Reed, you're poetic.
00:46:08For the business proposal, we could do something along the lines of...
00:46:18Today, we are going to be talking about...
00:46:21Do you feel like you're giving a school presentation?
00:46:24Or playing Twisted?
00:46:26I'm dramatic vet.
00:46:28I'm pulling their attention.
00:46:29You are, exactly.
00:46:30It's acting.
00:46:33Talking about my presentation that I have.
00:46:39Yeah.
00:46:47Good morning, boss.
00:46:49I mean, boxes of mints are on the table if you'd like to try one.
00:46:54He will show us to the office.
00:46:57I will show you to that office.
00:46:59What an honor.
00:47:00It's nice to meet you.
00:47:01I think I've heard your voice before.
00:47:03Oh, of course.
00:47:04Of course.
00:47:05We work closely together and he's my...
00:47:11Manager.
00:47:15Do you feel right?
00:47:16I think so.
00:47:21I need you to sit with me.
00:47:23Why?
00:47:24We have an agreement to sign.
00:47:26She still doesn't know who you are.
00:47:29Copy that, I'll set up the meeting now.
00:47:31Oh, and the mayor wants to meet.
00:47:33Of course she does.
00:47:34She's in the office now.
00:47:36What a surprise.
00:47:37Surprise?
00:47:38What's a surprise?
00:47:42Surprise?
00:47:43What's a surprise?
00:47:44Someone else wants a meeting but they are just going to have to wait.
00:47:55We have been waiting here for half an hour.
00:47:59Yes, that's because you didn't make an appointment in advance.
00:48:03I am the mayor.
00:48:04I know who you are.
00:48:06We all do.
00:48:07My cousin lost her home in the fires.
00:48:10Don't you have more important things to do right now?
00:48:14How dare you?
00:48:15You are just a useless office girl.
00:48:20Now, tell Mr. Moore that I insist...
00:48:29Good morning, Mr. Moore.
00:48:31That's him.
00:48:35Oh my God.
00:48:38Can you believe they let common street trash in a beautiful building like this?
00:48:43Excuse me, why did you call him Mr. Moore?
00:48:51Oh, no, no.
00:48:54Oh, no, no.
00:48:56I was just saying, Mr. There's Moore.
00:48:59Like, more mints in the waiting room.
00:49:02What is with the mints here?
00:49:04We've got really good mints.
00:49:06Don't worry about it.
00:49:07I might have underestimated you, okay?
00:49:09But don't you get delusional.
00:49:10Whoever you're meeting has to be a low-level lackey.
00:49:13Let's get real.
00:49:14The mayor and I are meeting the CEO.
00:49:17Stop.
00:49:18Which means you have zero chance
00:49:22of ever meeting me.
00:49:24Got it.
00:49:27Mr. Moore is on his way.
00:49:29Do you mind waiting here just a bit longer?
00:49:32Sorry your meeting got delayed.
00:49:34Well, mine is right on the dot.
00:49:36You see, my husband and I made a presentation together.
00:49:39It's very professional.
00:49:41Do you think Moore Corp is really going to like it?
00:49:45I'm taking three.
00:49:49Meant to be.
00:49:52How dare she?
00:49:53How dare she?
00:49:54Fine.
00:49:55We wait.
00:49:57But he better be here soon.
00:49:59I mean, of course.
00:50:01After all, you're the mayor.
00:50:04Thank you all for meeting with me today.
00:50:07My name is Barbara Foster and I'm...
00:50:11And I would love to work with you.
00:50:32Congratulations.
00:50:35He still isn't here?
00:50:37This is outrageous.
00:50:39Mr. Moore is on the way, but you know, L.A. traffic,
00:50:43plus the fires, make it even worse.
00:50:46Excuse me.
00:50:53Sorry to interrupt your indignation,
00:50:55but do you have a sheet protector that I could use?
00:50:58I just signed a contract and I don't want to get it stained or anything.
00:51:01Congratulations, Ms. Foster.
00:51:03Yeah, okay, quit playing games.
00:51:05You didn't sign any contract.
00:51:07Well, unfortunately for you, I did.
00:51:10And it's for a $100 million deal.
00:51:14Bullshit.
00:51:17Not bad.
00:51:19Looks like I will be the CEO of Foster Inc. after all.
00:51:24You must be so proud of your daughter, Dad.
00:51:28Call me that!
00:51:30I will not let you do this.
00:51:33By the way, when are your friends showing up?
00:51:35Three, two, one.
00:51:41Madam Mayor, what do you have to say about the new fire that just broke out?
00:51:46Oh, no, not again.
00:51:50You'll have to schedule an 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.
00:51:58Tell us, why aren't you out there stopping the fires?
00:52:00What do you have to say?
00:52:02It is completely unfair that you are judging me.
00:52:05I am working every minute on this.
00:52:08But you rejected Moor 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? Stock options?
00:52:21Oh, Mr. Foster, it's you.
00:52:23We got a tip that you have an under-the-table deal with Madam Mayor.
00:52:28And that your fire suppressant doesn't even work.
00:52:32That is complete nonsense. Complete nonsense, 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 while her son is collecting millions
00:52:45as a paid consultant for city contractors.
00:52:48So much corruption, so little time.
00:52:51Let's go.
00:52:53Madam Mayor, just one more, for the people.
00:52:56Last question about your personal records.
00:53:01Why aren't you out there trying to stop the fires?
00:53:04It is completely unfair for you to judge me.
00:53:07I have been working on this every day.
00:53:10One of our eyewitness team members has found a secret ledger
00:53:13showing the city is paying triple for the fire suppressant.
00:53:16You know, you were perfect in today's meeting.
00:53:22Yeah, but the CEO, Mr. Moore, didn't show up.
00:53:25I wonder what he's like.
00:53:28Probably just some rich a-hole.
00:53:31That's what you said, remember?
00:53:34Yeah, but his company is actually doing good things.
00:53:38I kind of want to meet him.
00:53:40I don't know if that's a great idea.
00:53:42He's a bachelor, you know?
00:53:45He might try to steal you from me.
00:53:48Oh, that is not going to happen.
00:53:52I felt you supporting me today, Chris.
00:53:55All day.
00:53:57I haven't felt that support since my mom passed away.
00:54:00I'm sorry you had to go through that.
00:54:02I know it must have been a very dark time.
00:54:05But you're my rock.
00:54:07I can be the rock of your life now.
00:54:12I want to be the person you lean on when you need it.
00:54:15You know, sometimes I just want to rip your clothes off
00:54:19and drag you to bed, and other times I just want to get closer
00:54:22and feel your heart beating next to mine.
00:54:33My heart is racing.
00:54:36For you.
00:54:52I love you.
00:55:22I love you.
00:55:32You killed it, Margaret. You're a rock star.
00:55:35We're with you, Margaret. Always.
00:55:38You see? Everyone's with you now.
00:55:41No one supports you now.
00:55:43Because this is a bogus agreement.
00:55:46It's a publicity stunt.
00:55:48Can't you see?
00:55:50Like anyone's gonna give her a hundred million dollars.
00:55:53Oh my gosh.
00:56:07Put me through to finance.
00:56:09We need to make a bank transfer.
00:56:11Once they find out that my surprise is better than more companies,
00:56:15they're gonna cut Margaret off like that.
00:56:20Oh, so, uh...
00:56:22Who are you supporting now?
00:56:28Are you sure Moor Corp is not going to pay us?
00:56:36Are you sure Moor Corp is not going to pay us?
00:56:41A hundred percent.
00:56:42Why would they shell out cash to someone like that?
00:56:46Because a down payment of thirty million dollars
00:56:50just landed in our corporate account.
00:56:52From Moor Corp.
00:56:54Oh, wrong again, Dad.
00:56:58Seems like you're making a real habit of that.
00:57:01Just you wait.
00:57:03Once they see that my surprise is superior,
00:57:06all this is gonna be all gone.
00:57:11Margaret, we 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.
00:57:28Today's the day that we prove our suppressedness superior once and for all.
00:57:33Get those stupid reporters off our backs.
00:57:36And as the new fire chief, you know what your job is, right?
00:57:42Fight the fires?
00:57:44No.
00:57:46Make sure you follow my commands.
00:57:52It's them.
00:57:55How did you know they were gonna be here?
00:57:57Are you some kind of spy?
00:58:02Are you some kind of spy?
00:58:04Hey, I'm just a regular guy.
00:58:07That's what you said.
00:58:09That's why you like me, remember?
00:58:11Well, for a regular guy, you sure do have a lot of inside information.
00:58:14I just know they ordered a chopper today.
00:58:16Off record, and I want to know why.
00:58:20There it is.
00:58:32The fires are getting worse, holy shit!
00:58:36Oh, no!
00:58:38That's not fire suppressant.
00:58:40It's more like fire starter.
00:58:43Call the chopper and tell them to stop dropping it.
00:58:46Oh, my God.
00:58:48It's too late.
00:58:50The payloads have all been dropped.
00:58:52Good God, it's coming our direction.
00:58:54You're an idiot.
00:58:56If this reaches us, everything here is gonna blow sky high.
00:59:01No, how do half-wits like this get control of a city?
00:59:05We've got to do something about this.
00:59:07How?
00:59:09I'll figure something out, but first, I've got to get you to safety.
00:59:11Come on.
00:59:13Come on.
00:59:18For now, I just want you to stay here and be careful.
00:59:21You need to be careful, too, Chris.
00:59:23You're not fireproof, you know.
00:59:27What are you doing here?
00:59:29I'm glad to have you.
00:59:31Thought you might need my help.
00:59:33Okay, thank you.
00:59:35Yeah, I've got a few things you can do for me.
00:59:37You've got stuff to do for him?
00:59:39But I thought he was your manager.
00:59:41He is.
00:59:43But the thing is...
00:59:45I'm the...
00:59:47As your manager, I have to look after my employees.
00:59:49Why, I might even give you a raise next year, Chris.
00:59:53Good.
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.
01:00:07Tomorrow.
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.
01:00:19Just do it, okay?
01:00:21Okay.
01:00:23I'm only saying her house is worth, like, half a million.
01:00:25Her service is probably...
01:00:27It's not always about money, Whitman.
01:00:29Okay, call them right now.
01:00:31You're paying the bill.
01:00:33It's gonna be an expensive call.
01:00:43Fire Protection Service?
01:00:45Where'd they come from?
01:00:51You 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.
01:01:13We can't get to them.
01:01:15Yeah, we can't.
01:01:17But Margaret can.
01:01:19And she is still my daughter.
01:01:24My critics
01:01:26are politically motivated.
01:01:28We have the fires
01:01:30completely under control.
01:01:32This is bullshit.
01:01:34I grew up in Los Angeles.
01:01:36I played in these parks and in these playgrounds.
01:01:45Not to watch it all burn down
01:01:47because these fools won't use a fire suppressant
01:01:49that works.
01:01:51Margaret.
01:01:59I hope you don't mind me interrupting, Mr. Whitman.
01:02:03Huh?
01:02:05Oh, yes.
01:02:07It's my office.
01:02:09Even if it's important.
01:02:11It is.
01:02:13Chris, my father called.
01:02:15He 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.
01:02:35It's very unusual for Mr. Moore
01:02:37to grant a meeting on such short notice.
01:02:39We'll need to be quick.
01:02:41Right. Mr. Moore is a very private man
01:02:43and this meeting is entirely confidential.
01:02:45Do not try to look at his face.
01:02:47Talk.
01:02:49Well, uh,
01:02:51to be a vendor in this city,
01:02:53you have to go through lots of protocols
01:02:55and that takes time.
01:02:57We don't have time.
01:02:59Exactly.
01:03:01You see,
01:03:03Mr. Foster's company is already
01:03:05an approved vendor and 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 fat, 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
01:03:31for the city.
01:03:33Cut the bullshit.
01:03:35Speak to me straight or get out.
01:03:37Okay.
01:03:41Okay, let's put our cards on the table.
01:03:46We'll put our cards on the table.
01:03:48We're doing this
01:03:50because
01:03:52our fire suppressant
01:03:54didn't work.
01:03:56It made the fires worse.
01:03:58If the public finds out,
01:04:00we're screwed.
01:04:02So, we'd like to use
01:04:04the Moore Corp's fire suppressant,
01:04:06but you can't tell anyone.
01:04:08They have to believe we made it.
01:04:10If you agree,
01:04:12I will guarantee
01:04:14permission of the shopping mall
01:04:16you applied for in downtown L.A.
01:04:18Deal?
01:04:22Deal.
01:04:24We'll deliver 2,000 tons
01:04:26of the suppressant this afternoon,
01:04:28but you must deploy it
01:04:30immediately.
01:04:32Fine.
01:04:34Just to confirm,
01:04:36what's the price?
01:04:38Zero.
01:04:40You don't pay a penny.
01:04:42Well, that sounds
01:04:44like a win-win.
01:04:46Cut the formalities.
01:04:48We're done here.
01:04:54Okay, thanks.
01:04:58This guy's a prime idiot.
01:05:00He chose for you.
01:05:02He's a billionaire,
01:05:04you fool.
01:05:06He doesn't care about small money.
01:05:08I knew he wanted to build that mall.
01:05:10That's how I got him.
01:05:12I don't understand.
01:05:14Why did you give it to them for free?
01:05:18Because I got exactly
01:05:20what I wanted.
01:05:22Our fire suppressant
01:05:24didn't work.
01:05:26It made the fires worse.
01:05:34It's been an hour.
01:05:36Why haven't we gotten any word?
01:05:38It's been 20 minutes.
01:05:40The pilots need time to convert.
01:05:42Mrs. Mayor, it worked.
01:05:44It's like a miracle.
01:05:46Moor Corp's suppressant is...
01:05:48Don't say Moor Corp.
01:05:50No one is to know
01:05:52where it's from.
01:05:54As far as the world is concerned,
01:05:56it's our suppressant.
01:06:00Got it?
01:06:02Yes, got it.
01:06:04No problem.
01:06:08You know how much money
01:06:10this is going to make us?
01:06:14You are going to be known
01:06:16as the mayor who
01:06:18saved the city.
01:06:20And you
01:06:22are going to win the next election
01:06:24by a landslide.
01:06:26Exactly.
01:06:34Gina,
01:06:36we need your press conference for tomorrow.
01:06:38We're going to let everyone know
01:06:40I saved Los Angeles.
01:06:50Every news outlet is saying the same thing.
01:06:52It's not a fluke.
01:06:54The first time in a week,
01:06:56the fires are retreating.
01:06:58What about the suppressant?
01:07:00They've dropped all of it
01:07:02and they want more.
01:07:04They've even died down.
01:07:06It's like nature is on our side now.
01:07:08Finally.
01:07:14Finally.
01:07:18The mayor is calling a press conference.
01:07:20You know she's going to take credit for stopping the fires.
01:07:22I know she's going to try.
01:07:24Oh!
01:07:26What about Marguerite?
01:07:28This is not good, boss.
01:07:30She really thinks I run Moor Corp.
01:07:32I don't know why.
01:07:34You are entirely unconvincing.
01:07:36Totally convincing.
01:07:38What you need is some acting classes.
01:07:42Don't you think it's time to 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.
01:07:54Marguerite, I 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.
01:08:00It's not like that.
01:08:02It's about your husband.
01:08:14My husband, he is totally overprotective.
01:08:16You know that I had to convince him
01:08:18that it was safe enough for me to come into my own office.
01:08:22Marguerite, it's about those rings.
01:08:30I have a surprise for you tonight, sweetheart.
01:08:32Two dozen fresh roses,
01:08:34Noki de la Luna,
01:08:36oh,
01:08:38and I can finally tell you
01:08:40those rings on your finger are real.
01:08:44They are a little ridiculous.
01:08:46I mean, who has diamonds this size?
01:08:48Well, that's the thing.
01:08:50Some people do have diamonds that size.
01:08:52There's a name for those people.
01:08:54Billionaire.
01:08:56Isabel, what are you talking about?
01:08:58Marguerite,
01:09:00I've got something to tell you.
01:09:02Now, I would have told you sooner,
01:09:04but you hate rich people so much
01:09:06that I was afraid you were going to get your guillotine out.
01:09:10How much do you know
01:09:12about Moore Corp's CEO, Christopher Moore?
01:09:14He's some rich guy?
01:09:16Who never met with you
01:09:18because he doesn't make public appearances.
01:09:20He's some rich guy?
01:09:22Who never met with you
01:09:24because he doesn't make public appearances.
01:09:26Yeah, so?
01:09:28Do you remember
01:09:30that private investigator we used
01:09:32to look into that auditing glitch last year?
01:09:34Good God, Isabel, would you just tell me what you're talking about?
01:09:36I asked the PI to trace known records
01:09:38of Moore.
01:09:40There was very little there,
01:09:42but he did find one tidbit.
01:09:44Moore purchased some jewelry.
01:09:46Okay, yeah.
01:09:48Rich guys buy jewelry,
01:09:50so what?
01:09:52So,
01:09:54this is what he bought.
01:09:56Look familiar?
01:09:58Yeah, those look like my rings.
01:10:00So, he bought the real ones
01:10:02and Chris bought copies.
01:10:04This is the ledger entry.
01:10:06Look at the date.
01:10:08He bought these in LA
01:10:10the same day that Chris gave you those.
01:10:18So, that means my husband is
01:10:20Christopher Moore?
01:10:22So, you're making a
01:10:24fire suppressant because you
01:10:26work for Moore Corp?
01:10:28Kind of. Margaret is a master of outreach.
01:10:30She will set up a strategic partnership
01:10:32with the Moore Corporation.
01:10:34Good morning, Mr. Moore.
01:10:36I trusted him! How many times am I going to be lied to
01:10:38in my life?
01:10:40Margaret, your husband's a billionaire.
01:10:42Who cares about you?
01:10:44Every woman in LA wants to be you.
01:10:46No! No, this is so wrong!
01:10:52Okay.
01:10:54Casuals in the oven,
01:10:56salads in the fridge,
01:10:58Jean-Pilard Beaujolais
01:11:00on the chill.
01:11:08Now, let's have a prayer that you'll listen to me
01:11:10with an open mind.
01:11:16Margaret,
01:11:18I have something to tell you.
01:11:22Margaret, I have something to tell you.
01:11:26Margaret, I...
01:11:28Don't say another word.
01:11:30Just leave.
01:11:34You're a liar!
01:11:46I am proud to announce
01:11:48that the fires that have been
01:11:50ravaging this city
01:11:52are now extinguished.
01:11:54These fires are out
01:11:56because of our brave mayor,
01:11:58Michelle Davis.
01:12:02And I just want to say thank you
01:12:04to the firefighters...
01:12:06I am the one
01:12:08who put out the fire.
01:12:10I am the one
01:12:12who put out the fire.
01:12:14I am the one who put out
01:12:16these fires.
01:12:18Girl, you really kicked
01:12:20a billionaire out of your house?
01:12:22He lied to me.
01:12:24I've had enough betrayal for an entire lifetime.
01:12:26I'm sure he had his reasons.
01:12:28He didn't mean to hurt you, Margaret.
01:12:30Yeah, well, it hurts anyway.
01:12:38And I would like to acknowledge myself
01:12:40for the courage,
01:12:42the vision,
01:12:44and the leadership
01:12:46that great leaders show
01:12:48when they're leading.
01:12:52Cringe.
01:12:54You 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.
01:13:12Yes, yes, yes,
01:13:14thank you. It's me
01:13:16who saved L.A.
01:13:18Support me.
01:13:20Vote for me.
01:13:22Y'all know you can trust me.
01:13:26God
01:13:28bless...
01:13:30Ladies and gentlemen,
01:13:32excuse me.
01:13:38Everything that you have
01:13:40just heard is a fairytale.
01:13:42Fiction.
01:13:44A lie.
01:13:46Oh, my goodness.
01:13:48Is that her billionaire husband?
01:13:54The mayor has been lying
01:13:56to you all.
01:13:58Pay no attention to this man.
01:14:00Security, have him removed.
01:14:02Y'all, pay no attention
01:14:04to this. There's nothing to see here.
01:14:06The firemen are the true
01:14:08heroes who saved this city.
01:14:10The mayor has time and time again tried to
01:14:12stop them. That is
01:14:14bullshit. Security,
01:14:16do your jobs!
01:14:18Let him speak. It's a free
01:14:20country. Yeah, let him talk.
01:14:22Yeah, we want a statement.
01:14:24Yeah, let him talk.
01:14:26Mayor Davis, why are you afraid of this man?
01:14:28Are you hiding something?
01:14:30Of course not. She's afraid of me
01:14:32because she knows that I can tell you all
01:14:34right now what actually happened.
01:14:36Why should we listen to you?
01:14:38Because
01:14:40the fire suppressant that actually put out the
01:14:42fires was supplied by Moor Court
01:14:44and I am the CEO
01:14:46of Moor Court.
01:14:48I
01:14:50am 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
01:14:58to put the fires out, the mayor
01:15:00and her collaborators were profiting
01:15:02from the problem.
01:15:04I want to watch this live.
01:15:06Are you coming?
01:15:08No.
01:15:14Yes. Hold on, Isabel.
01:15:20My company has been trying to assist
01:15:22the firefighters. He's the
01:15:24CEO of Moor Court?
01:15:26Why didn't you tell me, you dumbass?
01:15:28If we don't stop him, we're all screwed.
01:15:30Then do something to stop him.
01:15:32The mayor threatened us and time
01:15:34and time again tried to get in our way.
01:15:36That is not true.
01:15:38Look, I received
01:15:40a medal for all of my hard
01:15:42work in putting out those fires.
01:15:44I wouldn't have given myself this
01:15:46medal if I didn't deserve it.
01:15:48Mr. Moore, I think there's
01:15:50been a little misunderstanding
01:15:52can I speak to you privately?
01:15:54The mayor wanted me to remind you
01:15:56about the
01:15:58mission of shopping
01:16:00Oh, of course.
01:16:02That reminds me.
01:16:04Whitman!
01:16:06Let's play them that video we brought.
01:16:14Our fire suppressant didn't work.
01:16:16It made the fires worse.
01:16:18If the public
01:16:20finds out, we are screwed.
01:16:22Why are you
01:16:24hiding the truth from the citizens
01:16:26in your own city?
01:16:28This is a complete
01:16:30fabrication.
01:16:32It's an AIGCD
01:16:34fake. I have something to say
01:16:36about that.
01:16:44No.
01:16:46No!
01:16:48This man has no business here.
01:16:50He was fired for dereliction of duty.
01:16:52Officers!
01:16:54Remove him!
01:16:58Are you going
01:17:00to stop?
01:17:04No, sir, chief.
01:17:06We'll clear the way.
01:17:08Everyone, make way for Chief Taylor
01:17:10and his men. They're heroes.
01:17:16They're heroes.
01:17:18Stop them!
01:17:20That's an order!
01:17:22You've got to stop!
01:17:24You guys can't come up here.
01:17:26This is a violation.
01:17:28Don't you touch me!
01:17:32We want
01:17:34Chief Taylor reinstated.
01:17:36That's right!
01:17:38Taylor!
01:17:40Taylor!
01:17:42Taylor!
01:17:44Shut up!
01:17:46All of you are fired.
01:17:48No.
01:17:50You can't do that.
01:17:52Let him speak.
01:17:54Stop touching me.
01:17:56Ladies and gentlemen,
01:17:58the reason I was dismissed
01:18:00is because I refused to use
01:18:02the mayor's defective
01:18:04fire suppressants.
01:18:06You can't prove that.
01:18:08Actually,
01:18:18I can.
01:18:20Mayor Davis, this is a huge scandal.
01:18:22You should resign.
01:18:24Get out of here.
01:18:26No!
01:18:28Listen to me.
01:18:30Stop it!
01:18:42Before we wrap this up,
01:18:44I'd like to share something personal.
01:18:52Before we wrap this up,
01:18:54I'd like to share something personal
01:18:56with you all.
01:18:58Chief Taylor, if you don't mind.
01:19:00Go ahead.
01:19:02We've all lived
01:19:04through this horrible
01:19:06disaster, but
01:19:08in the midst of tragedy,
01:19:10sometimes you can find clarity,
01:19:12beauty,
01:19:14and even love.
01:19:16The catastrophe of these L.A. wildfires
01:19:18has brought
01:19:20much darkness,
01:19:22but it's also brought people together.
01:19:24It brought a woman
01:19:26with a beautiful heart into 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.
01:19:34Margaret,
01:19:36I love you.
01:19:38It hurts to not be with you.
01:19:40I know I kept things
01:19:42from you, and that was not right.
01:19:44I don't expect you
01:19:46to forgive me, but if I'm
01:19:48being honest,
01:19:50you're the only person I'll ever love.
01:19:52L.A. is full of
01:19:54idols and superstars,
01:19:56but you,
01:19:58you're the only superstar
01:20:00I've ever wanted or will
01:20:02ever want.
01:20:04The fires
01:20:06may be out now,
01:20:08but there's a fire in my heart
01:20:10that will never stop 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
01:20:24it takes, I will be waiting.
01:20:26I don't know where you are,
01:20:28but I hope
01:20:30somehow
01:20:32you've heard my message.
01:20:36I heard it.
01:20:42Margaret,
01:20:44last time you proposed to me,
01:20:46now I'm proposing
01:20:48to you.
01:20:54Margaret,
01:20:56will you marry me and be my wife?
01:21:16And you're doing that melting thing again.
01:21:18I thought you were doing it.
01:21:20Mom,
01:21:22it's not good.
01:21:24Christopher Moore is accusing you of embezzlement,
01:21:26money laundering, securities fraud.
01:21:28I'm not doing it.
01:21:30I'm not doing it.
01:21:32I'm not doing it.
01:21:34I'm not doing it.
01:21:36I'm not doing it.
01:21:38I'm not doing it.
01:21:40I'm not doing it.
01:21:42I'm not doing it.
01:21:44Embezzlement, money laundering, securities fraud?
01:21:48I will make his life a living hell.
01:21:50Michelle Davis,
01:21:52you're under arrest
01:21:54on 12 counts of corruption.
01:21:56Are you insane?
01:21:58You just committed career suicide.
01:22:00You're fired.
01:22:02You're all fired.
01:22:04Get your hands off of her. She's the mayor.
01:22:06And you are under arrest
01:22:08for interfering with law enforcement.
01:22:10Let's go. Take them both.
01:22:12You're going to remain silent.
01:22:14I fired you.
01:22:16Hurry up. We need to run.
01:22:18The police will be here soon.
01:22:20Why should I leave?
01:22:22I don't want to go anywhere.
01:22:24I've got three tickets to Venezuela.
01:22:26You get to sit by the window.
01:22:28We have to rebuild our lives there.
01:22:30Don't worry.
01:22:32I have plenty of cash,
01:22:34and I have a buyer letter for the house.
01:22:36Apologies,
01:22:38but 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
01:22:44because you acquired it illegally.
01:22:46No.
01:22:48Margaret.
01:22:50My daughter.
01:22:52I wasn't going to sell it.
01:22:54It belongs to you.
01:22:56Your mother's company, her home,
01:22:58it's all yours.
01:23:00Chris.
01:23:02Mr. Moore.
01:23:04I'm your father-in-law.
01:23:06I'm almost 60.
01:23:08You don't want to go away, do you?
01:23:10You know, you have a good point, Dad.
01:23:12Oh, wait.
01:23:14You asked me specifically to not call you that.
01:23:16You know, in fact,
01:23:18since the day that I met you,
01:23:20you've done nothing but try to destroy your own daughter.
01:23:22You're paying for what you did, Dad.
01:23:24Hey.
01:23:26How dare you
01:23:28put your own father
01:23:30in jail?
01:23:32You are an ungrateful
01:23:34little bitch.
01:23:36Oh, no.
01:23:38I forgot. You can't leave the country
01:23:40until the trial's over.
01:23:50Oh, and by the way,
01:23:52your assets are frozen, so you can't stay
01:23:54at this hotel. But don't worry.
01:23:56We've made arrangements for you
01:23:58to stay at a different place.
01:24:00What other arrangements?
01:24:02You know that Motel 6
01:24:04around the corner?
01:24:06What?
01:24:08No, no, no!
01:24:14Those cheating scumbags
01:24:16can't get their hands on this house ever again.
01:24:24I bet your mom was an amazing person.
01:24:26I'm sure she loved you so much.
01:24:28She always wanted me
01:24:30to get married in her wedding dress.
01:24:34She'd say
01:24:36no matter where she was,
01:24:38she'd be able to feel it,
01:24:40heart to heart.
01:24:42What do you think?
01:24:44I think you are so radiant
01:24:46that she can most certainly
01:24:48see your glow all the way from heaven.
01:24:50Well, if she is really looking down,
01:24:52then she'll be very glad to know
01:24:54that I found
01:24:56a much better man.
01:24:58And I bet she'd be so excited
01:25:00to know that I'm the one
01:25:02I bet she'd be so excited
01:25:04to know that I'm marrying a...
01:25:06Somebody new?
01:25:08No! A fireman.
