00:00:00Oh no!
00:00:17How dare you evade 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, Caitlyn.
00:00:26So get the hell out!
00:00:27You need to get the hell out, Ravita! The house is on fire!
00:00:29You expect me to believe a stupid line like that.

00:01:14Sister!
00:01:15This is your fault!
00:01:16Poor Margaret!
00:01:17While you were busy dreaming about your wedding, I was here satisfying your fiancé.
00:01:19I just made him come three times on your bed.
00:01:20You are nothing but a social-climbing, home-wrecking whore, just like your mom!

00:02:02Let me be clear.
00:02:03You get married, you get your mom's business.
00:02:05Why else do you think I proposed to you?
00:02:08Oh my god, you were just using me to get to my mom's company?
00:02:11You lying scumbag.
00:02:14The wedding's off.
00:02:15I hope you burn in this fire.
00:02:18Fire?
00:02:18What fire?
00:02:20Fire, fire.
00:02:20Fuck!
00:02:23We need to get out.
00:02:25We need to get out.
00:02:26I shoo!
00:02:27Get out!
00:02:40This is my wedding dress, honey.
00:02:43Promise me that you'll wear it when you get married.
00:02:46That way, I know no matter what happens,
00:02:49I'll be there with you on your wedding day.
00:02:53Heart's a heart.
00:02:54I promise, Mommy.
00:03:03I might not get to wear this wedding dress.
00:03:06This is my fiancée, the cheating asshole.
00:03:11Oh my god.
00:03:12I gotta get out of here.
00:03:19Boss, your private helicopter's on the way. They'll airlift you out.
00:03:28You take the airlift. I'm gonna go check out the neighbors.
00:03:30What? No, Boss! Come on! L.A.'s an inferno. Everyone's in danger.
00:03:34I know. That's why I've gotta stay. Goddamn wildfires.
00:03:38Boss!
00:03:49Boss!
00:03:50Boss!
00:03:51Boss!
00:03:52Boss!
00:03:53Boss!
00:04:15Is that bitch still in there?
00:04:17there. Whatever. Oh, no. Oh, no. We, someone has to help us. I can't lose my custom-built
00:04:26home. Help. Help. Guys, you've got to evacuate and get out of here. Evacuate. The minimal
00:04:37appraisal value is 10 million. Okay, clear it out. Is someone still in there? Not just
00:04:46my stupid sister. Who cares about us? What's her name? Margaret, but you
00:04:52can just call her loser. Wait if you're going inside. I have 10
00:04:56Hermes bags. Birkin. Okay. Okay. They're in my closet. I think he
00:05:06might do it. Margaret. Margaret, where are you? Can you hear me?
00:05:15Oh, no. Oh, no. Margaret, can you hear me? You're going to be okay. All right?
00:05:43Thank you. Congrats on your wedding. It belonged to my mom. That's great. Hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:05:59Hold on to me, okay? Get out of here.
00:06:04Where are my designer bags? You guys need to take her to the hospital right now. You saved her? Why? She doesn't even live in the
00:06:32zip code. If you all don't take her to safety, you'll all be charged with attempted murder.
00:06:36Uh, don't talk to me like that. You cringy firefighter. Take her to the hospital now. Ridiculous. Fine. You take her.
00:06:44You take her. Stop touching her. Then how am I supposed to carry her? I don't know.
00:06:53You canceled the engagement. Are you out of your mind? Are you out of your mind? I almost died in a fire, and that's all you have to say to me?
00:07:16His mother is mayor of this whole city. She can open doors with the wave of her hand.
00:07:20I don't care if she can fart rainbows with a wave of her butt. Oh, and did they tell you that he's been fucking Caitlin?
00:07:28Watch your mouth. Tell her to watch what she sticks between her legs.
00:07:33Don't you dare talk to me like that. I should have let you die in that house so you can burn in hell.
00:07:39You tried to leave me there, remember? You think I don't know that? Cut the crap. You're gonna marry Steele, and you're gonna make him happen.
00:07:47No, I'm not a tramp who sells my body to men for money. That's more Caitlin style.
00:07:58You know what? Dad, you can climb into bed with the Wicked Witch of the West every night. That's your business.
00:08:04But I will not sleep with some slimy-ass bottom feeder to make you happy.
00:08:09Well, then you can kiss your inheritance goodbye. I guess I'll be taking over your mother's company.
00:08:14She left it to me. Only if you're married by next week. And then what are you going to do if Steele dumps you?
00:08:21Just look at you. You can't even get out of bed.
00:08:25Oh gosh, Ravenna. It looks like I can get out of bed after all. And you can't stop me.
00:08:38Are you high? Where the hell do you think you're going?
00:08:42To find a husband. To find a husband.
00:08:48And I know just where to find him.
00:08:59Stop right now, young lady! Stop her!
00:09:07A $50 million donation? This is a godsend.
00:09:11Look, man. You guys are the real heroes. I was just happy I could help.
00:09:16Well, I appreciate it. I actually got you a gift.
00:09:22Come on, man. You didn't have to do that.
00:09:29Chief Tanner, this is perfect. Thank you. Sincerely.
00:09:41Who did it to me? Where is he?
00:09:49Who did what to you?
00:09:51Saved my life yesterday.
00:09:56No. No. Not you either.
00:10:00No. You're not the one.
00:10:02It's not here!
00:10:08What about that guy?
00:10:11You are. What's going on?
00:10:13Excuse me for a second, sir.
00:10:18It's you.
00:10:20I'm sorry, miss?
00:10:23You're the guy.
00:10:25I think you might have a good one.
00:10:33Whoa. Slow down.
00:10:36It's me. Margaret.
00:10:38I 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...
00:11:08Margaret.
00:11:09I knew you'd remember me.
00:11:10I'm sorry, I didn't recognize you.

00:15:43Steel marries Margaret then becomes CEO of Foster Incorporated
00:15:48my ex-wife's business

00:20:35hey guys
00:20:36we're being fired then
00:20:38oh wait a minute
00:20:39you're not your VA
00:20:40mom
00:20:41Oh, wait a minute. You're not our chief, so you can't fire us.
00:20:46That's it. We're done talking to you idiots.
00:20:48As for you, you're going to dump this pathetic loser, and you're coming home with me.
00:20:54Touch her again, and I will drop you where you stand.
00:20:58You and what army?
00:21:00This army. You owe us an apology. All of you.
00:21:06Apologize. Now.
00:21:08Oh, poor fireman.
00:21:11I'm so sorry.
00:21:14Sorry about to get your asses kicked out of here.
00:21:17Security!
00:21:22Good move, Madam Mayor.
00:21:24And when this whole city burns down, how are you going to explain to your people
00:21:27that you fired the firefighters that were trying to protect it?
00:21:31This is breaking news. It seems the mayor is firing a team of firefighters.
00:21:35Madam Mayor, do you have a comment?
00:21:38I would never do that.
00:21:40LA firefighters are our true heroes. I'm here to support them.
00:21:45That is very lovely. By 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.
00:21:58Rich-ass CEO?
00:22:00Madam Mayor, Madam Mayor, is that true? And do you have a comment?
00:22:04As I said, I am here to support these brave men. Go firefighters!
00:22:13You know, many people are criticizing your complete and utter incompetence in the handling of the wildfires.
00:22:20In fact, people are pointing out the fact that you cut $17.5 million from the fire department's budget
00:22:27right as the wildfires were starting.
00:22:29What is your response?
00:22:31I have no comment.
00:22:41No comment.
00:22:44You know, not all rich CEOs are assholes.
00:22:48Believe me, they're all aggressive narcissists. I'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 going to like me if I tell her who I am.
00:22:58So, hey. So, how much did she pay you to be her fake husband?
00:23:04Well, like, uh, a hundred bucks a day.
00:23:06Boy, you've really gotten desperate, huh?
00:23:09Hiring some nobody to pretend to be your husband just to cheat us.
00:23:13Just 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?
00:23:24So, it belongs to me.
00:23:26You'll never pull it off.
00:23:28Let'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?
00:23:42It wasn't for a business deal.
00:23:45It was a lawyer thing.
00:23:47I had to get married by next week or else I wouldn't have been able to inherit my mother's company.
00:23:51But, it...
00:23:52I'm such an idiot.
00:23:57What?
00:23:59It wasn't a fake marriage!
00:24:02Don't go!
00:24:05He's a fireman?
00:24:07That is hot.
00:24:09Oh, he's incredibly hot.
00:24:11Even though he's not an actual firefighter.
00:24:13She thinks you're hot and you saved her life.
00:24:16That's a pretty good start.
00:24:18So, he saved her life and then you told him you needed a husband for the inheritance and then he said...
00:24:23Actually, I didn't tell him that.
00:24:27Yeah, but I didn't hear that from her.
00:24:29I'm sure she was planning to.
00:24:31But there was a lot going on, you know?
00:24:32I almost died in a fire and then I escaped the hospital and the next thing you know I'm kissing a guy that I had in my mouth.
00:24:38And he kissed you back?
00:24:39Well, no.
00:24:40I mean, it was more than a kiss.
00:24:42I mean, it was like it was melting into him.
00:24:44She makes me feel like she's melting into me.
00:24:48I've never had anybody make me feel that way before.
00:24:51But then to find out that she wasn't being honest with me...
00:24:54You can still fix this, Margaret.
00:24:56Go talk to him.
00:24:58No!
00:24:59Talk to her.
00:25:00No, she was hiding things from me.
00:25:03What about you?
00:25:04I told her the truth that I am not a firefighter but was just to help her.
00:25:10What about the fact that you're the CEO of the Fortune 500 company with a net worth of like one point...
00:25:14Yeah, I didn't tell her that part, alright?
00:25:17What if I talk to him and he just shuts me out?
00:25:20She's afraid you'll shut her out.
00:25:22Do you want to shut her out?
00:25:23Really?
00:25:24What 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 her!
00:25:31You need to open up to him!
00:25:46Thank you guys.
00:25:47I appreciate it.
00:25:49We'll do our part.
00:25:50Boss!
00:25:51Boss!
00:25:52Boss!
00:25:53Boss!
00:25:59Boss!
00:26:10Boss!
00:26:11Boss!
00:26:12Boss!
00:26:12I know you're busy with the fires.
00:26:17Hi, Margaret.
00:26:19I have something I need to tell you.
00:26:21And that was probably not the best time.
00:26:22I just wanted to say that I'm sorry.
00:26:24I know that you're upset with me.
00:26:26I didn't mean to keep things from you.
00:26:28Everything just started happening so fast.
00:26:31I don't expect you to forgive me, but...
00:26:34I needed you to know that I'm sorry.
00:26:42Wait.
00:26:53How did you find me?
00:26:54I was just driving around.
00:26:57I figured you'd be near the fires.
00:26:58Do not do that again.
00:27:00I...
00:27:01Just stay away, okay?
00:27:08Just stay away, okay?
00:27:10If you want to contact me, call me and tell me where to meet you, but 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.
00:27:24Right.
00:27:26I'll be more careful next time.
00:27:29Will there be a next time?
00:27:32Listen.
00:27:33I didn't exactly tell you everything about me either, okay?
00:27:37Wow, you were so mad that you took your ring off, huh?
00:27:40But when I saw you in that fire, and then afterwards, you kissed me.
00:27:49Okay, wait.
00:27:50Let's get one thing clear.
00:27:51I don't just go around kissing strange guys, okay?
00:27:53I know.
00:27:54Of 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.
00:28:04It's just that my financial situation is not what...
00:28:07How do you do that?
00:28:24Do that thing where you make me melt into you.
00:28:29Me?
00:28:30I thought you did that.
00:28:32Isn't that what you do?
00:28:33No, it just happens.
00:28:35It's never happened to me before, but it only happens when I'm with you.
00:28:38We were talking about something.
00:29:00What was that again?
00:29:01Uh-huh.
00:29:01Um...
00:29:02Money.
00:29:03Right.
00:29:04Money.
00:29:05Oh my God, who cares about money?
00:29:06I don't care if you're poor or in debt or whatever.
00:29:10Well, that's the thing.
00:29:11I'm not actually...
00:29:12I don't want a rich man.
00:29:14I mean, my father is one and my stepmother and you've seen them.
00:29:18They're like a cross between Rita Repulsive and Mr. Krabs.
00:29:21Okay, but you don't think every rich person is like that, right?
00:29:25Look, let's just leave it at this.
00:29:27You don't have money and so what?
00:29:30I don't need all the details.
00:29:31Are you sure?
00:29:33You're not going to abandon me because I'm poor?
00:29:38You are the most handsome, smartest man that I have ever met.
00:29:43I will never abandon you.
00:29:44Well, let's just say we'll be totally honest with each other from now on.
00:29:52Promise?
00:30:01What's next?
00:30:10Here's your new home.
00:30:11My husband.
00:30:12I am a lucky guy.
00:30:15Come on in.
00:30:26Sorry about the space.
00:30:28My company's struggling a little bit, so it's a bit modest, but...
00:30:31No, don't!
00:30:34Oh!
00:30:35Stop it!
00:30:36Stop it!
00:30:37Stop it!
00:30:37Oh!
00:30:38Oh!
00:30:39I'm sorry.
00:30:44Um...
00:30:45I could fix your pipes for you so that it doesn't explode again.
00:30:50Sure, of course.
00:30:56This should be a problem.
00:31:00Yeah.
00:31:02Let me see.
00:31:02He's so hot.
00:31:16Should be all good.
00:31:21So...
00:31:21So...
00:31:23So...
00:31:24It's so hot.
00:31:51Oh...
00:31:51Sorry, I've got to take it. It's work. I know. This better be important. That's a big move.
00:32:11I'll see what I can do. I'm so sorry. I've got to go to work.
00:32:16What?
00:32:17I know.
00:32:19Chris, what is it you actually do for a living?
00:32:21So, you're making a fire suppressant because you work for Moor Corp?
00:32:33Kind of.
00:32:34That's so cool. And it's going to stop the wildfires?
00:32:36We hope so.
00:32:40My team, our team, has been making some progress this week, but we're supposed to roll down this weekend, so there's not much time.
00:32:49Geez. I didn't know. You should have told me.
00:32:54I tried.
00:32:55Well, I'm sure you can do it, Chris. I'm rooting for you.
00:32:59You know, I'm not used to having someone at home rooting for me.
00:33:02It's new, but it's nice.
00:33:08I'm going to see.
00:33:27I don't know.
00:33:29I don't know.
00:33:59I'll be right there.
00:34:22Something wrong?
00:34:23What happened?
00:34:25What happened is...
00:34:26We did it!
00:34:30Oh!
00:34:30We did it!
00:34:36Oh!
00:34:36It worked!
00:34:39Margaret, this is going to save lives.
00:34:42Oh!
00:34:43Shoot, I have to go meet with the fire captain.
00:34:47This is the big test.
00:34:48We have to prove the suppression works.
00:34:49I'll see you later.
00:34:59Okay.
00:35:00Yes!
00:35:01The fires are going out!
00:35:02We are kicking this fire's ass.
00:35:04I mean, this is a breakthrough in science.
00:35:07We are making history, my friend.
00:35:08All right, guys, grab every container we got.
00:35:13Bambi buckets, tsunami tanks, get them filled and airborne.
00:35:17We're going to kill this fire now.
00:35:30Stop whatever you're doing and tell those choppers to load the fire suppressant from Foster Corporation.
00:35:39No, we just tested a fire suppressant from Moore Corp.
00:35:43It's superior to that crap you've been sending us.
00:35:45L.A. is burning.
00:35:47We don't have time for your city hall bullshit.
00:35:49And I don't have time for your insubordination.
00:35:52How much kickback are you making from this, Madam Mayor?
00:35:55How many houses need to burn down in order for you to make a profit
00:35:58off of the bogus chemicals that don't even work?
00:36:00I gave you an order.
00:36:03Load my fire suppressant or you're fired.
00:36:06Good.
00:36:07Fire.
00:36:08Because I will not be responsible for your disaster.
00:36:11Your wish is granted.
00:36:14You're fired.
00:36:15This is the end of Chief Taylor.
00:36:20No, I think this is the end of Mayor Davis.
00:36:24Remember, I said it.
00:36:26Get out of here and take this piece of trash with you.
00:36:37Okay, our deal has changed.
00:36:39One third is not enough.
00:36:42I want a two third cut.
00:36:43I need to make some money off of this thing.
00:36:46Don't you look so glum?
00:36:48I'm gonna make you CEO of Foster Inc.
00:36:52I got a new plan.
00:36:55Come on, the door won't open itself.
00:37:04Congratulations on your victory.
00:37:06I'm so proud of you.
00:37:07Almost, the mayor shut us down.
00:37:11She's been colluding with your dad.
00:37:14We're finished.
00:37:16She's the whole city hall to back her up.
00:37:19Hey, don't let them scare you.
00:37:21And bureaucrats like to live in these little protected hives.
00:37:25Once you crack those hives open, they scatter like roaches looking for the nearest drain pipe.
00:37:33Boss, I think your dad set up a board meeting behind your back for tomorrow.
00:37:37Copy that.
00:37:43Great, my biological father is about to ambush me.
00:37:46So it seems like we have a common enemy.
00:37:50And?
00:37:51And I'd like to do you the favor of destroying him.
00:37:55How?
00:37:56Do you want me to put you on the board of directors?
00:37:58No, no.
00:38:00I want to be your assistant.
00:38:02What?
00:38:04I'm gonna be your boss?
00:38:07I've got an idea.
00:38:10Okay.
00:38:16All right, let's make this fast.
00:38:17Margaret cannot be the CEO of this company.
00:38:20I don't care what the will says.
00:38:22Even the mayor wants Margaret out.
00:38:25Shouldn't Margaret be here to at least speak for herself?
00:38:28Don't be dense.
00:38:29Margaret will be out before she knows what hit her.
00:38:31And Caitlin will be in.
00:38:33Any board meeting without my approval is illegal.
00:38:37You are not authorized.
00:38:39She is fully authorized.
00:38:42Oh, what the hell?
00:38:43Not you again?
00:38:45This is a board meeting only for employees of Foster Incorporated.
00:38:49Right, well, 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.
00:38:58That's good.
00:38:59Assistant of what?
00:39:01Cleaning toilets?
00:39:03Oh, my God.
00:39:04Margaret, this is just so like you.
00:39:07Soling our company with your low-life husband.
00:39:11Well, I'm glad you acknowledged me as Margaret's husband, as that covers our first point today on our agenda.
00:39:17Section 12-3-C.
00:39:20Margaret Foster will inherit Foster, Inc. so long as she is married by the designated date.
00:39:27So, this means that Margaret is now the owner of Foster Incorporated.
00:39:34From now on, you all can call her Madam CEO.
00:39:38No.
00:39:40What are you going to get me one of those?
00:39:41When you get some class, don't pal.
00:39:44We're going to take him out right now.
00:39:48It doesn't change anything.
00:39:49That's right.
00:39:50This company has been hemorrhaging money because of you, Margaret.
00:39:54We will not let you destroy it.
00:39:55And the only people who can take care of that is sitting right here in this room.
00:40:00Me and my brilliant new man.
00:40:04Steel can turn this company around like that.
00:40:08Tell them, honey.
00:40:10Get rid of her and I'll double the company's revenue in four months.
00:40:14Backed by the mayor.
00:40:15My mom.
00:40:16100%.
00:40:18The mayor herself.
00:40:21That's exactly what we need.
00:40:23I like when you take control.
00:40:25Hold on.
00:40:27Margaret and I can also increase Foster Incorporated's revenues.
00:40:33He's going to double the revenue in four months.
00:40:36No one else can mention.
00:40:38Oh, we can.
00:40:40Chris, what are you saying?
00:40:42Stick with me, okay?
00:40:44What I'm about to say is a promise.
00:40:46A guarantee.
00:40:48Mr. Davis, you claim that you can double revenues in four months.
00:40:53Yes, I can.
00:40:54We will increase revenues tenfold.
00:40:58In only one month.
00:41:00In only one month.
00:41:11No one can do that.
00:41:14No one can do that.
00:41:15I don't think you know how it works.
00:41:16It's crazy.
00:41:17We can't make that kind of promise.
00:41:19It's impossible.
00:41:20Margaret, follow my lead, okay?
00:41:25This is ludicrous.
00:41:26Okay.
00:41:27How the hell is a homeless deadbeat gonna increase company revenue?
00:41:31Margaret is a master of outreach.
00:41:34She will set up a strategic partnership with the Moore Corporation.
00:41:38The Moore Corporation has operations in every countryman in the world.
00:41:42They won't even take a phone call from Margaret.
00:41:45Oh, but they already have.
00:41:47In fact, the manager has set up a meeting for Margaret tomorrow.
00:41:53Yeah, that's bullshit.
00:41:54Moore Corp would never work with a nobody like Margaret.
00:41:57You're delusional.
00:41:58Well, there is no harm to let her try.
00:42:02What?
00:42:04You'd better not disappoint us, Margaret.
00:42:06Okay, okay.
00:42:07Let's just make this straight here, okay?
00:42:10Margaret, you have one month to deliver Moore Corp.
00:42:14And make this company's revenue, what, tenfold you said?
00:42:18One month.
00:42:19Or else the will is null and void.
00:42:23And you disappear.
00:42:26Correct.
00:42:28Agreed.
00:42:32Oh, you dug your own grave, sis.
00:42:35One month from now, we're gonna kick you to the gutter.
00:42:38Where you belong.
00:42:39With your gutter husband.
00:42:40Stop it.
00:42:43Got it.
00:42:49Chris, you can't make up stories like this.
00:42:54God, I'm gonna lose my mother's company.
00:42:58Why did you tell them that they scheduled a meeting?
00:43:01Because I did.
00:43:04Moore Corp is expecting you.
00:43:06Tomorrow.
00:43:07They are?
00:43:08You're not joking?
00:43:10No.
00:43:11Oh my god, Chris, that's amazing.
00:43:14By the way, his rings are great.
00:43:17They almost look real.
00:43:19Yeah.
00:43:20Almost.
00:43:31Calm down.
00:43:34We're not gonna let your daughter beat you.
00:43:36There's no way she can beat me.
00:43:38Moore Corp will never work with a nobody like her, right?
00:43:42But what if she makes it happen?
00:43:43Then we'll stop her.
00:43:44How?
00:43:47I'm sending over the contact info for Christopher Moore, the 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.
00:44:05Either Mr. Moore does what I tell him to do, or I'll shut down his operations in the city.
00:44:12That'd be a multi-billion dollar loss for him.
00:44:19Christopher Moore guy is a real mystery man.
00:44:23No public appearances.
00:44:25And let's not forget, we rejected his fire suppressant, so he's probably pretty pissed off at us.
00:44:31Don't worry about that.
00:44:34We'll find out who he is and how to get to him.
00:44:37That's my specialty.
00:44:39I've never met with the management of a global corporation before.
00:44:46Who knows?
00:44:47Maybe you have and you just didn't know it.
00:44:50I'd know.
00:44:51They're all assholes.
00:44:52You see them coming from a mile away.
00:44:53This powerpoint isn't quite ready yet, I don't think.
00:45:04You need to grab their attention right away.
00:45:06And the flower you're writing, it's a business medium, not a poetry club.
00:45:14I mean, have you heard of bullet boys?
00:45:17Okay, all right, all right.
00:45:19Well, why don't you show me what you would do at the presentation?
00:45:26I like the pink.
00:45:29I don't think they're going to like me very much.
00:45:33The CEO loves you.
00:45:34The CEO of Moor Corp?
00:45:37How would he love me?
00:45:38I've never even met the guy.
00:45:39Um, I mean, he knows you.
00:45:43I've mentioned you to him before.
00:45:46Whoa, Chris, you know the CEO?
00:45:49Who are you?
00:45:51I'm just a nobody.
00:45:53You're not a nobody, you're my husband.
00:45:55The CEO of Moor Corp is great, it's just that these guys don't have the attention spans.
00:46:05Reed, you're poetic.
00:46:06For the business proposal, we could do something along the lines and stuff.
00:46:09What?
00:46:16Today, we are going to be talking about...
00:46:19Do you feel like you're giving a school presentation from Blaine Twister?
00:46:24I'm dramatic facts.
00:46:26Okay, that's good.
00:46:26I'm pulling their attention.
00:46:27You are, exactly.
00:46:28It's acting.
00:46:28Jordan's up.
00:46:30Good.
00:46:31Good.
00:46:31Good morning, boss.
00:46:48I mean, boxes of mints are on the table if you'd like to try one.
00:46:53He will show us to the office.
00:46:55I will show you to that office.
00:46:57What an honor.
00:46:58It's nice to meet you.
00:46:59I think I've heard your voice before.
00:47:01Oh, of course.
00:47:02We work closely together and he's my manager.
00:47:13Do you feel ready?
00:47:14I think so.
00:47:20I need you to send a meeting.
00:47:21I have an agreement to sign.
00:47:25She still doesn't know who you are?
00:47:27Copy that.
00:47:28I'll set up the meeting now.
00:47:29Oh, and the mayor wants to meet you.
00:47:32Of course she does.
00:47:33She's in the office now.
00:47:34What a surprise.
00:47:35Surprise!
00:47:36What's the surprise?
00:47:40Surprise!
00:47:41What's the surprise?
00:47:42Uh, someone else wants a meeting, but they are just going to have to wait.
00:47:46We have been waiting here for half an hour.
00:47:56Yes, that's because you didn't make an appointment in advance.
00:48:01I am the mayor.
00:48:02I know who you are.
00:48:04We all do.
00:48:05My cousin lost her home in the fires.
00:48:09Don't you have more important things to do right now?
00:48:12How dare you?
00:48:13You are just a useless office girl.
00:48:18Now, tell Mr. Moore that I insist...
00:48:30Good morning, Mr. Moore.
00:48:31Mr. Moore.
00:48:32That's him.
00:48:36Oh my god.
00:48:39Can you believe they let common street trash in a beautiful building like this?
00:48:44Excuse me, why did you call him Mr. Moore?
00:48:47Mr. Moore.
00:48:52Oh, no, no.
00:48:54I was just saying, Mr. There's Moore.
00:48:57Like, more mints in the waiting room.
00:49:00What is with the mints here?
00:49:02We've got really good mints.
00:49:03Bitch, don't worry about it.
00:49:05Okay, I might have underestimated you, okay?
00:49:07But don't you get delusional.
00:49:08Whoever you're meeting has to be a low level lackey.
00:49:11Let's get real.
00:49:12The mayor and I are meeting the CEO.
00:49:15Stall them.
00:49:16Which means you have zero chance of ever beating me.
00:49:22Got it?
00:49:25Mr. Moore is on his way.
00:49:27Do you mind waiting here just a bit longer?
00:49:30Sorry your meeting got delayed.
00:49:32Well, mine is right on the dot.
00:49:34You see, my husband and I made a presentation together.
00:49:37It's very professional.
00:49:39I think Moore Corp is really gonna like it.
00:49:43I'm taking three.
00:49:46Meant to be.
00:49:50How dare she?
00:49:51How dare she?
00:49:52Fine.
00:49:54We wait.
00:49:55But he better be here soon.
00:49:57I mean, of course.
00:49:59After all, you're the mayor.
00:50:01Thank you all for meeting with me today.
00:50:05My name is Marvin Foster and I will...
00:50:07And I would love to work with you.
00:50:20Congratulations.
00:50:33He still isn't here?
00:50:35This is outrageous!
00:50:37Mr. Moore is on the way, but you know LA traffic, plus the fires, make it even worse.
00:50:43Excuse me.
00:50:51Sorry to interrupt your indignation, but do you have a sheet protector that I could use?
00:50:56I just signed a contract and I don't want to get it stained or anything.
00:50:59Oh, congratulations, Ms. Foster.
00:51:00Yeah, okay, quit playing games.
00:51:03You didn't sign any contract.
00:51:05Well, unfortunately for you, I did.
00:51:08And it's for a hundred million dollar deal.
00:51:12Bullshit.
00:51:15About that.
00:51:17Looks like I will be the CEO of Foster Inc after all.
00:51:20You must be so proud of your daughter, Dad.
00:51:26Call me that!
00:51:28I will not let you do this.
00:51:31By the way, what are your friends showing up?
00:51:33Three, two, one.
00:51:39Madam Mayor, what do you have to say about the new fires that just broke out?
00:51:44Oh no, not again.
00:51:45You'll have to schedule an interview with my press team.
00:51:51I don't have time for this right now.
00:51:53Oh, well, it looks like you have plenty of time.
00:51:56Tell us, why aren't you out there stopping the fires?
00:51:58What do you have to say?
00:52:00It is completely unfair that you are judging me.
00:52:03I am working every minute on this.
00:52:06But you rejected Moor Corp's fire suppressant.
00:52:09And you made a deal with Mr. Foster.
00:52:11I had my reasons.
00:52:12And what were they? Personal profits? Stock options.
00:52:19Oh, Mr. Foster, it's you.
00:52:22We got a tip that you have an under the table deal with Madam Mayor.
00:52:26And that your fire suppressant doesn't even work.
00:52:29Uh, that is complete nonsense. Complete nonsense, that is.
00:52:35This is a witch hunt.
00:52:36Madam Mayor, just one more.
00:52:38Ask her why she canned the fire chief while her son is collecting millions as a paid consultant for city contractors.
00:52:47So much corruption, so little time.
00:52:49Damn it.
00:52:49Let's go.
00:52:50Yeah, yeah, right now.
00:52:51Let's go.
00:52:51Wait, Madam Mayor, just one more.
00:52:53For the people.
00:52:54Last question about your personal record.
00:52:56Why aren't you out there trying to stop the fires?
00:53:02It is completely unfair for you to judge me.
00:53:05I have been working on this every day.
00:53:08One of our eyewitness team members has found a secret ledger showing the city is paying triple for the fire suppressant.
00:53:14You know, you were perfect in today's meeting.
00:53:18Yeah, but the CEO, Mr. Moore, didn't show up.
00:53:23I wonder what he's like.
00:53:27Probably just some rich a-hole.
00:53:30That's what you said.
00:53:31Remember?
00:53:32Yeah, but his company is actually doing good things.
00:53:36I kind of want to meet him.
00:53:37I don't know if that's a great idea.
00:53:40He's a bachelor, you know?
00:53:42He, uh, might try to steal you from me.
00:53:46Oh, that is not gonna happen.
00:53:51I felt you supporting me today, Chris.
00:53:53All day.
00:53:55I haven't felt that support since my mom passed away.
00:53:58I'm sorry you had to go through that.
00:54:00I know it must have been a very dark time.
00:54:03She was my rock.
00:54:05I can be the rock of your life now.
00:54:10I want to be the person you lean on when you need it.
00:54:12You know, sometimes I just want to rip your clothes off and drag you to bed,
00:54:18and other times I just want to get closer and feel your heart beating next to mine.
00:54:22My heart is racing.
00:54:34For you.
00:54:35For you.
00:54:47I don't know where you've been, but I'm glad that you're here.
00:54:51Yeah, we'll take you by the hand and reason to dance for.
00:54:57Girl, it's our time.
00:54:59Just you and I don't, I don't hide.
00:55:07I'll do it right.
00:55:09We got all night.
00:55:11I'll take you so high.
00:55:17Baby, let me love you.
00:55:18You killed it, Margaret.
00:55:31You're a rock star.
00:55:34We're with you, Margaret.
00:55:35Always.
00:55:36You see, everyone's with you now.
00:55:38No one supports you now.
00:55:41Because this is a bogus agreement.
00:55:44It's a publicity stunt.
00:55:46You guys just see, like anyone's going to give her a hundred million dollars.
00:55:51Oh my gosh.
00:55:52Put me through to finance.
00:56:07We need to make a bank transfer.
00:56:08Once they find out that my suppressant is better than more companies,
00:56:13they're going to cut Margaret off like that.
00:56:18Oh, so uh, who you supported now?
00:56:22Are you sure a moral corp is not going to pay us?
00:56:34Are you sure a moral corp is not going to pay us?
00:56:39A hundred percent.
00:56:40Why would they shell out cash to someone like that?
00:56:42Because a down payment of 30 million dollars just landed in our corporate account.
00:56:50From more corp.
00:56:51Oh, wrong again, dad.
00:56:55Seems like you're making a real happen on that.
00:56:58Just you wait.
00:57:00Once they see that my suppressant is superior,
00:57:04all of this is going to be all gone.
00:57:06Margaret, we want you to know that we support you and we've been on your side all along.
00:57:13Yes.
00:57:15I really appreciate that.
00:57:19Seems like we have some big things to do.
00:57:26Today's the day that we prove our suppressant is superior once and for all.
00:57:31Get those stupid reporters off our backs.
00:57:34And as the new fire chief, you know what your job is, right?
00:57:40Fight the fires?
00:57:43No. Make sure you follow my commands.
00:57:51It's them.
00:57:53How did you know they were going to be here?
00:57:55Are you some kind of spy?
00:58:00Are you some kind of spy?
00:58:01Hey, I'm just a regular guy.
00:58:05That's what you said.
00:58:06That's why you like me. Remember?
00:58:08Well, for a regular guy, you sure do have a lot of inside information.
00:58:12I just know they ordered a chopper today.
00:58:14Off record, and I want to know why.
00:58:18There it is.
00:58:18Oh, the fires are getting worse. Holy shit.
00:58:32That's not fire suppressant. It's more like fire starter.
00:58:41Call the chopper and tell him to stop dropping it.
00:58:43Oh, my God.
00:58:44It's too late. The payloads have all been dropped.
00:58:49Oh, good God, it's coming our direction.
00:58:52You're an idiot.
00:58:54If this reaches us, everything here is going to blow sky high.
00:58:57No, but how do half-ports like this get control of the city?
00:59:03We've got to do something about this.
00:59:05No.
00:59:07I'll figure something out, but first, I've got to get you to safety.
00:59:09Come on.
00:59:09Okay.
00:59:10Come on.
00:59:11Okay.
00:59:15For now, I just want you to stay here and be careful.
00:59:19You need to be careful too, Chris. You're not fireproof, you know.
00:59:25What are you doing here?
00:59:26Step ahead of you. I thought you might need my help.
00:59:30Okay. Thank you. Yeah, I've got a few things you can do for me.
00:59:34You've got stuff to do for him? But I thought he was your manager.
00:59:38He is, uh, but the thing is, um...
00:59:42I, I'm a, I'm a, as your manager, I have to look after my employees.
00:59:47Why, I might even give you a raise next year, Chris.
00:59:53Just stay here.
00:59:55Keep a watch on the fire alerts, okay?
00:59:58I will call my people, our people, to protect you.
01:00:05Tomorrow.
01:00:09Call Caps on fire and have them come to Margaret's house immediately.
01:00:12Really? You didn't even do that for your own house,
01:00:14which is worth like a hundred million dollars.
01:00:16Just do it, okay?
01:00:18Okay. I'm only saying her house is worth like half a million.
01:00:22The cost of the service is probably-
01:00:24It's not always about money, Whitman.
01:00:27Okay. Call them right now.
01:00:29You're paying the bill. It's going to be an expensive call.
01:00:38Fire protection service. Where'd they come from?
01:00:48You screwed this up!
01:00:50I could bankrupt you like that!
01:00:54Hold on. I know how to fix all of this with just two words.
01:00:57More, Corb. Okay?
01:01:00We buy all their fire suppressant.
01:01:03You know, very hush-hush.
01:01:04And then you get all the credit for it.
01:01:07How?
01:01:08They blocked our calls. We can't get to them.
01:01:11Yeah, we can't.
01:01:12But Margaret can.
01:01:16And she is still my daughter.
01:01:23My critics are politically motivated.
01:01:26We have the fires completely under control.
01:01:30This is bullshit.
01:01:31I grew up in Los Angeles.
01:01:33I played in these parks and in these playgrounds.
01:01:42And now I have to watch it all burn down because these fools won't use a fire suppressant that works.
01:01:48Margaret!
01:01:57Uh, I hope you don't mind me interrupting, Mr. Whitman.
01:02:02Huh? Oh, yes.
01:02:03Well, this- yes, it's my office.
01:02:05But, you know, if it's important-
01:02:07It is.
01:02:09Chris, my father called.
01:02:11He wants something.
01:02:15My father called.
01:02:17He wants something.
01:02:18The answer's no.
01:02:20If there's something that your dad wants, it's probably bad.
01:02:23Maybe not this time.
01:02:25He wants to call a truce.
01:02:31It's very unusual for Mr. Moore to grant a meeting on such short notice.
01:02:35You'll need to be quick.
01:02:37Right.
01:02:38Mr. Moore is a very private man, and this meeting is entirely confidential.
01:02:42Do not try to look at his face.
01:02:45Talk.
01:02:47Well, uh, to be a vendor in this city, you have to go through lots of protocols.
01:02:53And that takes time.
01:02:54We don't have time.
01:02:56You see, Mr. Foster's company is already an approved vendor.
01:03:04And so-
01:03:05So we sell to Mr. Foster.
01:03:06He sells to the city.
01:03:08We can't let anyone know.
01:03:10Do I have that right?
01:03:11You are fast, Mr. Moore.
01:03:14So, what's your price?
01:03:17Free.
01:03:18But you have to answer this one question.
01:03:21Why are you doing this?
01:03:25Well, we were just concerned for the city.
01:03:28Cut the bullshit.
01:03:30Speak to me straight, or get out.
01:03:34Okay.
01:03:37Okay.
01:03:38Let's put our cards on the table.
01:03:43We'll put our cards on the table.
01:03:44We're doing this because our fire suppressant didn't work.
01:03:52It made the fires worse.
01:03:54If the public finds out, we're screwed.
01:03:57So, we'd like to use the Moore Corps fire suppressant.
01:04:03But you can't tell anyone.
01:04:05They have to believe we made it.
01:04:07If you agree, I will guarantee permission of the shopping mall you applied for in downtown LA.
01:04:16Deal?
01:04:19Deal.
01:04:21We'll deliver 2,000 tons of the suppressant this afternoon.
01:04:24But you must deploy it immediately.
01:04:28Fine.
01:04:31Just to confirm, what's the price?
01:04:33Zero.
01:04:37You don't pay a penny.
01:04:40Well, that sounds like a win-win.
01:04:43Cut the formalities.
01:04:45We're done here.
01:04:52Okay, thanks.
01:04:56This guy's a prime idiot.
01:05:01He's a billionaire, you fool.
01:05:03He doesn't care about small money.
01:05:05I knew he wanted to build that mall.
01:05:08That's how I got him.
01:05:10I don't understand.
01:05:12Why did you give it to them for free?
01:05:15Because I got exactly what I wanted.
01:05:21Our fire suppressant didn't work.
01:05:24It made the virus worse.
01:05:33It's been an hour.
01:05:34Why haven't we gotten any word?
01:05:36It's been 20 minutes.
01:05:37The pilots need time to confirm.
01:05:39Mrs. Mayor, it worked.
01:05:41It's like a miracle.
01:05:43Morcorp Suppressant is-
01:05:45Don't say Morcorp.
01:05:47No one is to know where it's from.
01:05:51As far as the world is concerned, it's our suppressant.
01:05:58Got it?
01:05:59Yes.
01:06:00Got it.
01:06:01No problem.
01:06:05You know how much money this is going to make us.
01:06:10You are going to be known as the mayor who saved the city.
01:06:15And you are going to win the next election by a landslide.
01:06:23Exactly.
01:06:30Gina, arrange a press conference for tomorrow.
01:06:34We're going to let everyone know I saved Los Angeles.
01:06:46Every news outlet saying the same thing.
01:06:49It's not a fluke.
01:06:51The first time in a week, the fires are retreating.
01:06:55What about the suppressant?
01:06:57They've dropped all of it, and they want more.
01:06:59The winds have even died down.
01:07:01It's like nature's on our side now.
01:07:05Finally.
01:07:10Finally.
01:07:13The mayor has called a press conference.
01:07:15You know she's going to take credit for stopping the fires.
01:07:18I know she's going to try.
01:07:21Oh, what about Margaret?
01:07:23This is not good, boss.
01:07:25She really thinks I run Morcorp.
01:07:27I don't know why.
01:07:28You are entirely unconvincing.
01:07:32Totally convincing.
01:07:34What you need is some acting classes.
01:07:38Don't you think it's time to let her in on this?
01:07:41As a matter of fact, I've got it all planned out for tonight.
01:07:45One step ahead of your boss.
01:07:50Margaret, I have to tell you something.
01:07:52It's my father trying to sabotage me again.
01:07:54You know, I'm not afraid of him.
01:07:55No, it's not like that.
01:07:58It's about your husband.
01:08:09My husband.
01:08:10He is totally overprotective.
01:08:12You know that I had to convince him that it was safe enough for me to come into my own office.
01:08:16I have a surprise for you tonight, sweetheart.
01:08:31I have two dozen fresh roses.
01:08:35Noki de la luna.
01:08:36Oh, and I can finally tell you those rings on your finger are real.
01:08:45They 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.
01:08:53There's a name for those people.
01:08:55Billionaires.
01:08:56Isabel, what are you talking about?
01:09:00Margaret, I've got something to tell you.
01:09:02Now, I would have told you sooner,
01:09:05but you hate rich people so much that I was afraid you would get your guillotine out.
01:09:11How much do you know about Moore Corp's CEO, Christopher Moore?
01:09:16He's some rich guy?
01:09:18Who never met with you because he doesn't make public appearances.
01:09:22Yeah, so?
01:09:25Do you remember that private investigator we used to look into that auditing glitch last year?
01:09:29Good God, Isabel.
01:09:30Would you just tell me what you're talking about?
01:09:32I asked the PI to trace known records of Moore.
01:09:35There was very little there, but he did find one tidbit.
01:09:40Moore purchased some jewelry.
01:09:43Okay, yeah.
01:09:44Rich guys buy jewelry, so what?
01:09:47So, this is what he bought.
01:09:52Look familiar?
01:09:53Yeah, those look like my rings.
01:09:56So, he bought the real ones and Chris bought copies.
01:09:59This is the ledger entry.
01:10:00Look at the date.
01:10:03He bought these in L.A. the same day that Chris gave you those.
01:10:14So, that means my husband is...
01:10:15CHRISTOPHER MOORE?!
01:10:18So, you're making a fire suppressant because you work for Moore Corp?
01:10:23Kind of.
01:10:24Margaret is a master of outreach.
01:10:26She will set up a strategic partnership with the Moore Corporation.
01:10:29Good morning, Mr. Moore.
01:10:31I trusted him!
01:10:32How many times am I going to be lied to in my life?
01:10:34Margaret, your husband's a billionaire.
01:10:38Who cares about you?
01:10:40Every woman in L.A. wants to be you.
01:10:42No!
01:10:42No, this is so wrong!
01:10:49Okay.
01:10:50Cash was in the oven, salads in the fridge, Jean-Fallard Beaujolais on the chill.
01:10:56Now I just have to pray that you'll listen to me with an open mind.
01:11:15Margaret, I have something to tell you.
01:11:17Margaret, I have something to tell you.
01:11:23Margaret, I...
01:11:25Don't say another word.
01:11:28Just leave.
01:11:32You're a liar!
01:11:47I am proud to announce that the fires that have been ravaging this city are now extinguished.
01:11:58These fires are out because of our brave mayor, Michelle Davis.
01:12:05And I just want to say thank you to the firefighters.
01:12:07I am the one who put out these fires.
01:12:13Girl, you really kicked a billionaire out of your house?
01:12:18He lied to me.
01:12:19I've had enough betrayal for an entire lifetime.
01:12:21I'm sure he had his reasons.
01:12:23He didn't mean to hurt you, Margaret.
01:12:25Yeah, well, it hurts anyway.
01:12:33And I would like to acknowledge myself for the courage, the vision,
01:12:39and the leadership that great leaders show when they're leading.
01:12:48Cringe.
01:12:49You cannot overstate how stupid she is.
01:12:53Can I just say one more thing?
01:12:54No, you cannot.
01:12:56The fire suppressant that put out the fires was created by me
01:13:02and deployed at my command.
01:13:09Yes, thank you.
01:13:10It's me who saved LA.
01:13:14Support me.
01:13:16Vote for me.
01:13:18Y'all know you can trust me.
01:13:23God bless.
01:13:26Ladies and gentlemen, excuse me.
01:13:28Everything that you have just heard is a fairy tale.
01:13:38Fiction.
01:13:40A lie.
01:13:42Oh my goodness.
01:13:43Is that your billionaire husband?
01:13:46The mayor has been lying to you all.
01:13:53Pay no attention to this man.
01:13:55Security.
01:13:57Have 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 who saved this city.
01:14:05The mayor has time and time again tried to stop them.
01:14:09That is bullshit.
01:14:11Security.
01:14:12Do your jobs.
01:14:13No, no, no, let him speak.
01:14:15It's a free country.
01:14:16Yeah, let him talk.
01:14:17Yeah, let him talk.
01:14:18Yeah, we want a statement.
01:14:19Yeah, let him talk.
01:14:20Yeah, let him talk.
01:14:21Mayor Davis, why are you afraid of this man?
01:14:23Are you hiding something?
01:14:25Of course not.
01:14:26She's afraid of me because she knows that I can tell you all right now what actually happened.
01:14:31And why should we listen to you?
01:14:35Because the fire suppressant that actually put out the fires
01:14:38was supplied by Morcourt and I am the CEO of Morcourt.
01:14:45I am Christopher Moore.
01:14:47Well, he's not hiding his identity anymore.
01:14:50He's taking on the whole city.
01:14:53Instead of trying to put the fires out,
01:14:55the mayor and her collaborators were profiting off of them.
01:15:00I want to watch this live.
01:15:01You coming?
01:15:03No.
01:15:04Yes, hold on, Isabel.
01:15:15My company has been trying to assist the firefighters.
01:15:18He's the CEO of Morcourt?
01:15:21Why didn't you tell me, you dumbass?
01:15:23If we don't stop him, we're all screwed.
01:15:25Then do something to stop him.
01:15:27The mayor threatened us and time and time again tried to get in our way.
01:15:31That is not true.
01:15:34Look, I received a medal for all of my hard work in putting out those fires.
01:15:40I wouldn't have given myself this medal if I didn't deserve it.
01:15:44Mr. Moore, I think there's been a little misunderstanding.
01:15:47Can I speak to you privately?
01:15:50The mayor wanted me to remind you about the permission for the shopping mall.
01:15:57Oh, of course.
01:15:58That reminds me of Whitman.
01:16:01Let's play them that video we brought.
01:16:10Our fire suppressant didn't work.
01:16:12It made the fires worse.
01:16:15If the public finds out, we are screwed.
01:16:17Why are you hiding the truth from the citizens in your own city?
01:16:22Okay, this is a complete fabrication.
01:16:26I mean, look at that.
01:16:27It's an AIGC deepfake.
01:16:30What do you think?
01:16:30I have something to say about that.
01:16:40No.
01:16:42No!
01:16:43This man has no business here.
01:16:45He was fired for dereliction of duty.
01:16:49Officers!
01:16:49Remove him!
01:16:50Are you going to stop?
01:17:00No, sir, Chief.
01:17:01We'll clear the way.
01:17:03Everyone, wait for Chief Taylor and his men.
01:17:07They're heroes.
01:17:13They're heroes.
01:17:14Stop them!
01:17:15We're back in order!
01:17:18Now, uh...
01:17:18You gotta stop by then.
01:17:20You guys can't come up here.
01:17:22This is...
01:17:23This is a violation.
01:17:24Don't you touch me!
01:17:29We want Chief Taylor reinstated.
01:17:31Yeah!
01:17:32That's right!
01:17:32Taylor!
01:17:34Taylor!
01:17:35Taylor!
01:17:36Taylor!
01:17:37Taylor!
01:17:37Taylor!
01:17:38Taylor!
01:17:39Shut up!
01:17:42All of you are fired!
01:17:44No.
01:17:44You can't do that!
01:17:46Let him speak!
01:17:50Stop touching me!
01:17:52Ladies and gentlemen.
01:17:53The reason I was dismissed is because I refused to use the mayor's defective fire suppressant.
01:18:00You can't prove that!
01:18:03Actually, I can.
01:18:05All the data is in these documents.
01:18:09They include sworn testimony from the pilots who were eyewitnesses.
01:18:15Mayor Davis, this is a huge scandal.
01:18:17You should resign.
01:18:20Get out of here!
01:18:20No!
01:18:22No!
01:18:23Listen to me!
01:18:24Stop it!
01:18:25Stop it!
01:18:25Stop it!
01:18:26Stop it!
01:18:26Stop it!
01:18:27Stop it!
01:18:28Stop it!
01:18:28Stop it!
01:18:29Stop it!
01:18:30Stop it!
01:18:31Stop it!
01:18:31Stop it!
01:18:32Stop it!
01:18:32Stop it!
01:18:33Yeah!
01:18:37Before we wrap this up, I'd like to share something personal.
01:18:41Before we wrap this up, I'd like to share something personal with you all.
01:18:53Chief Taylor, if you don't mind.
01:18:55Go ahead.
01:18:56We've all lived through this horrible disaster.
01:19:02But in the midst of tragedy, sometimes you can find clarity, beauty, and even love.
01:19:10The catastrophe of these LA wildfires has brought much darkness.
01:19:16But it's also brought people together.
01:19:19It brought a woman with a beautiful heart into my life.
01:19:23And if I can take a moment of your time, I'd like to try to get a message to her.
01:19:29Margaret, I love you.
01:19:33It hurts to not be with you.
01:19:36I know I kept things from you, and that was not right.
01:19:40I don't expect you to forgive me.
01:19:42But if I'm being honest, you're the only person I'll ever love.
01:19:47LA is full of idols and superstars.
01:19:51But you, you're the only superstar I've ever wanted or will ever want.
01:19:59The fires may be out now, but there's a fire in my heart that will never stop burning.
01:20:07It will burn forever for you.
01:20:10So, if you can find it in your heart to forgive me, no matter how much time it takes, I will be waiting.
01:20:21I don't know where you are, but I hope somehow you've heard my message.
01:20:32I heard it.
01:20:37Margaret.
01:20:39Last time you proposed to me.
01:20:42Now I'm proposing to you.
01:20:43Margaret, will you marry me and be my wife?
01:21:02And you're doing the melting thing again.
01:21:17And you're doing that melting thing again.
01:21:30I thought you were doing it.
01:21:35Mom, that's not good.
01:21:37Christopher Moore is accusing you of embezzlement, money laundering, securities fraud.
01:21:42I will make his life a living hell.
01:21:46Michelle Davis.
01:21:47You're under arrest on 12 counts of corruption.
01:21:51Are you insane?
01:21:53You just committed career suicide.
01:21:56You're fired.
01:21:58You're on fire.
01:21:59Take your hands over her.
01:22:00She's the mayor.
01:22:00And you are under arrest for interfering with law enforcement.
01:22:05Let's go.
01:22:05Take them both.
01:22:06On my side.
01:22:06You have the right to remain silent.
01:22:08I fired you.
01:22:09Well, I'm going to regret this.
01:22:13Hurry up.
01:22:14We need to run.
01:22:15The police will be here soon.
01:22:16Why should I leave?
01:22:17I don't want to go anywhere.
01:22:19I've got three tickets to Venezuela.
01:22:21You get to sit by the window.
01:22:23We have to rebuild our lives there.
01:22:25Don't worry.
01:22:26I have plenty of cash.
01:22:27And I have a buyer lined up for the house.
01:22:30Apologies.
01:22:30But you can't sell something that's not rightfully yours.
01:22:36What the hell is going on here?
01:22:38You can't sell my mother's house because you acquired it illegally.
01:22:41Margaret.
01:22:42Oh, Margaret.
01:22:45My daughter.
01:22:47I wasn't going to sell it.
01:22:48It belongs to you.
01:22:50Your mother's company.
01:22:51Her home.
01:22:52It's all yours.
01:22:54Chris.
01:22:56Mr. Moore.
01:22:59I'm your father-in-law.
01:23:01I'm almost 60.
01:23:02You don't want to put me away, do you?
01:23:03You know, you have a good point, Dad.
01:23:08Oh, wait.
01:23:09You asked me specifically to not call you that.
01:23:12You know, in fact, since the day that I met you, you've done nothing but tried to destroy
01:23:15your own daughter.
01:23:17You're paying for what you did, Dad.
01:23:19Hey, I...
01:23:21How dare you put your own father in jail?
01:23:26You are an ungrateful little bitch.
01:23:31Oh, no.
01:23:32I forgot.
01:23:33You can't leave the country until the trial's over.
01:23:45Oh, and by the way, your assets are frozen,
01:23:48so you can't stay at this hotel.
01:23:50But don't worry.
01:23:51We've made arrangements for you to stay at a different place.
01:23:55What other arrangements?
01:23:57You know that Motel 6 right around the corner?
01:24:00What?
01:24:01Oh, my God.
01:24:01No.
01:24:03No, no, no.
01:24:09Those cheating scumbags can't get their hands on this house ever again.
01:24:18I bet your mom was an amazing person, and I'm sure she loved you so much.
01:24:23She always wanted me to get married in her wedding dress.
01:24:26She'd say no matter where she was, she'd be able to feel it, heart to heart.
01:24:40What do you think?
01:24:41I think you are so radiant that she can most certainly see your glow all the way from heaven.
01:24:49Well, if she is really looking down, then she'll be very glad to know that I found a much better man.
01:24:56And I bet she'd be so excited to know that I'm marrying a...
01:25:00A body letter?
01:25:02No.
