00:00:00Oh no!
00:00:07How dare you evade my home!
00:00:14It's my mother's home.
00:00:16She's dead.
00:00:17Your father signed the deed over to me and my daughter Katelyn.
00:00:20So get the hell out!
00:00:22You need to get the hell out Ravita, the house is on fire!
00:00:25You expect me to believe a stupid line like that?
00:00:29The house is on fire!
00:00:32Oh my god!
00:00:35The house is on fire!
00:00:38Katelyn!
00:00:40Katelyn!
00:00:44My mother's dress.
00:00:46We have to get it.
00:00:54Katelyn?
00:00:59Shit!
00:01:00What the fuck are you doing here?
00:01:02Excuse me?
00:01:03This is my room!
00:01:11Hey!
00:01:13What's up?
00:01:14Steel!
00:01:15You're fucking my sister!
00:01:16Step-sister!
00:01:17This is your fault!
00:01:19Poor Margaret!
00:01:20While you were busy dreaming about your wedding, I was here satisfying your fiancé.
00:01:26I just made him come three times on your bed.
00:01:29You are nothing but a social climbing home-wrecking whore just like your mom!
00:01:33Babe, are you okay?
00:01:34Uh-huh!
00:01:35Yeah!
00:01:36Margaret!
00:01:37You stupid fucking bitch!
00:01:38Let me be clear.
00:01:39You get married, you get your mom's business.
00:01:40Why else do you think I proposed to you?
00:01:41Oh my god!
00:01:42You were just using me to get to my mom's company!
00:01:54You lying scumbag!
00:01:56The wedding's off!
00:01:58I'm so sorry!
00:01:59Arun!
00:02:00I'm so sorry.
00:02:01Why else do you think I propose to you?
00:02:03Oh my god! You were just using me to get to my mom's company?
00:02:06You lying scumbag!
00:02:08The wedding's off!
00:02:10I hope you burn in this fire!
00:02:12Fire? What fire?
00:02:14Fire! Fire!
00:02:15Ah! Fuck!
00:02:19We need to get out!
00:02:20We need to get out!
00:02:22Get out!
00:02:31This is my wedding dress, honey.
00:02:38Promise me that you'll wear it when you get married.
00:02:41That way, I know no matter what happens,
00:02:44I'll be there with you on your wedding day.
00:02:46Heart to heart.
00:02:49I promise, Mommy.
00:02:56I might not get to wear this wedding dress.
00:03:00This is my fiancee, the cheating asshole.
00:03:06Oh my god.
00:03:07I gotta get out of here.
00:03:20Boss!
00:03:21The private helicopter's on the way.
00:03:23They'll airlift you out.
00:03:24You take the airlift.
00:03:25I'm gonna go check out the neighbors.
00:03:26What? No! Boss!
00:03:27Come on!
00:03:28LA's an inferno!
00:03:29Everyone's in danger!
00:03:30I know!
00:03:31That's why I've gotta stay.
00:03:32Goddamn wildfires.
00:03:34Boss!
00:03:35Come on!
00:03:36Oh!
00:03:37I need to98!
00:03:45Time to reach!
00:03:46Trip!
00:03:49recommendation!
00:03:50Is that bitch still in there?
00:04:14Whatever.
00:04:14Oh, no.
00:04:16Oh, no.
00:04:17Wait, someone has to help us.
00:04:19I can't lose my custom-built home.
00:04:23Help.
00:04:25Help.
00:04:28Guys, you've got to evacuate.
00:04:29Get out of here.
00:04:30Evacuate.
00:04:31The minimal appraisal value is $10 million.
00:04:36You can just get this fire down.
00:04:38Okay, clear it out.
00:04:40Is someone still in there?
00:04:41Not just my stupid sister.
00:04:42Who cares about us?
00:04:44What's her name?
00:04:46Uh, Margaret.
00:04:47But you can just call her loser.
00:04:48Wait if you're going inside.
00:04:50I have $10 million bags.
00:04:53Birkin.
00:04:54You have to take them, please.
00:04:56Okay.
00:04:57They're in my closet.
00:05:00I think he might do it.
00:05:03Margaret!
00:05:06Margaret, where are you?
00:05:09Can you hear me?
00:05:10You're going to be okay.
00:05:38All right?
00:05:45Congrats on your wedding.
00:05:47I belong to my mom.
00:05:50That's great.
00:05:52Hey.
00:05:53Hey, hey, hey.
00:05:54Hold on to me, okay?
00:05:58Get out of here.
00:05:59Where are my designer bags?
00:06:21You guys need to take her to the hospital right now.
00:06:24You saved her?
00:06:25Why?
00:06:26She doesn't even live in the zip code.
00:06:28If you all don't take her to safety, you'll all be charged with attempted murder.
00:06:32Don't talk to me like that, you cringy firefighter.
00:06:35Take her to the hospital now.
00:06:37Ridiculous.
00:06:38Fine.
00:06:39You take her.
00:06:43Stop touching her.
00:06:45Then how am I supposed to carry her?
00:06:47I don't know.
00:06:48You canceled the engagement.
00:07:04Are you out of your mind?
00:07:07Are you out of your mind?
00:07:08I almost die in a fire, and that's all you have to say to me?
00:07:12His mother is mayor of this whole city.
00:07:14She can open doors with a wave of her hand.
00:07:16I don't care if she can fart rainbows with a wave of her butt.
00:07:20Oh, and did they tell you that he's been fucking Caitlyn?
00:07:24Watch your mouth.
00:07:26Tell her to watch what she sticks between her legs.
00:07:29Don't you dare talk to me like that.
00:07:30I should have let you die in that house so you can burn in hell.
00:07:34You tried to leave me there, remember?
00:07:36You think I don't know that?
00:07:37Cut the crap.
00:07:39You're going to marry Steele, and you're going to make him happen.
00:07:42No.
00:07:43I'm not a tramp who sells my body to men for money.
00:07:47That's more Caitlyn style.
00:07:52You know what?
00:07:54Dad, you can climb into bed with the Wicked Witch of the West every night.
00:07:59That's your business.
00:08:00But I will not sleep with some slimy-ass bottom feeder to make you happy.
00:08:05Well, then you can kiss your inheritance goodbye.
00:08:07I guess I'll be taking over your mother's company.
00:08:10She left it to me.
00:08:11Only if you're married by next week.
00:08:14And then what are you going to do if Steele dumps you?
00:08:17Just look at you.
00:08:19You can't even get out of bed.
00:08:23Oh, gosh, Ravina.
00:08:26It looks like I can get out of bed after all.
00:08:30And you can't stop me.
00:08:34Are you high?
00:08:36Where the hell do you think you're going?
00:08:38To find a husband.
00:08:41To find a husband.
00:08:43And I know just where to find him.
00:08:54Stop right now, young lady.
00:08:56Stop her!
00:08:57A $50 million donation?
00:09:05This is a godsend.
00:09:07Look, man.
00:09:08You guys are the real heroes.
00:09:10I was just happy I could help.
00:09:12Well, I appreciate it.
00:09:14I actually got you a gift.
00:09:16Come on, man.
00:09:18You don't have to do that.
00:09:24Chief Tanner, this is perfect.
00:09:28Sincerely.
00:09:29Who did it to me?
00:09:42Where is he?
00:09:44Who did what to you?
00:09:46Saved my life yesterday.
00:09:47No.
00:09:52No.
00:09:53Not you either.
00:09:54No.
00:09:56You're not the one.
00:09:57It's not here.
00:10:01What about that guy?
00:10:06You are.
00:10:07What's going on?
00:10:08Excuse me for a second, sir.
00:10:09It's you.
00:10:16I'm sorry, miss?
00:10:18You're the guy.
00:10:20I think you might have it.
00:10:28Whoa.
00:10:29It's a slowdown.
00:10:31It's me.
00:10:33Margaret.
00:10:35I know I'm silly.
00:10:36I shouldn't have come here.
00:10:37I just...
00:10:38I have nowhere else to go.
00:10:40No one to trust.
00:10:41I lost everything that I had.
00:10:45Hey.
00:10:46It's okay.
00:10:47You're safe now.
00:10:49You say you were...
00:11:08Margaret.
00:11:15I knew you'd remember me.
00:11:18I'm sorry.
00:11:19I didn't recognize you.
00:11:20I don't know what he's going to do after.
00:11:34I have two requests.
00:11:41Okay.
00:11:42Okay.
00:11:43First, in the future when we do that, your hugs don't have to be so delicate.
00:11:47I'm not breakable.
00:11:49Agreed?
00:11:50Yeah.
00:11:50Sure.
00:11:52And my second request is...
00:11:54Marry me.
00:11:56What?
00:11:57I'll explain all the details later, but we've got to go right now.
00:12:01Hey, if he doesn't want to, I'm available.
00:12:03Yeah, me too.
00:12:04I'm here all day.
00:12:05When it comes to hot women, nobody handles them like firemen.
00:12:08We're specialists.
00:12:10Whoa.
00:12:11Easy.
00:12:12Down.
00:12:12Down, boys.
00:12:14Did any of the three of you hear me say no?
00:12:16Let's go.
00:12:17Why couldn't that happen to me?
00:12:22We'll have a big ceremony later.
00:12:23For now, this makes it official.
00:12:26By the way, how do you feel about kids?
00:12:29I feel great about kids.
00:12:32When I was a little girl, my mom always told me to always wear nice pajamas to bed.
00:12:37You know why?
00:12:38Why?
00:12:39In case of an emergency, if a fireman came in, she said, you never know.
00:12:45I know he might become your husband.
00:12:46I'm Margaret.
00:12:48I'm sorry I haven't had the chance to tell you this yet, but I'm not actually a firefighter.
00:12:52I just happened to be there and was able to help that day.
00:12:58But you saved my life and my mother's dress, and that meant a lot to me.
00:13:05You're my hero.
00:13:08I should tell her who I am.
00:13:10Margaret, I'm the...
00:13:16Okay, I can tell her later.
00:13:30You know, we can't just kiss every single time we look into each other's eyes.
00:13:36You're right.
00:13:37You're right.
00:13:38No, no, you're not.
00:13:40Oh.
00:13:50Oh.
00:13:51Right.
00:13:53Well, my husband, shall we go to your place or mine?
00:14:04I'm actually homeless.
00:14:07My house burned down in the fires.
00:14:10I'm so sorry.
00:14:12Well, you're my husband now, so you can just move in with me.
00:14:16I'll help you move.
00:14:17I can't let her know I'm staying in the W Hotel.
00:14:20It's too fancy.
00:14:23That's so kind and sweet of you, but I wouldn't want you to get your hands dirty.
00:14:29I'll handle it.
00:14:30Okay.
00:14:32Well, this is my address.
00:14:38See you soon, husband.
00:14:47Dad, you can't make me sleep on the floor while you sleep with my mother on the Eiderdown
00:14:53Savoir Grand Emperor Bed.
00:14:55That's not fair.
00:14:56No.
00:14:57Book me a suite right now.
00:15:00Are you delusional?
00:15:03Every decent hotel runs out of rooms.
00:15:06Oh, how about you go get yourself a room at the Motel 6?
00:15:10What?
00:15:10Noah!
00:15:13Honey, can I stay at your place?
00:15:17Look, either we solve this with Margaret or we're going to leave.
00:15:21No, no, no, no, no, no.
00:15:22We'll fix it.
00:15:23She will marry you.
00:15:24Excuse her.
00:15:25She's still a little out of sorts after the whole city burning down thing.
00:15:30Well, she's going to have to come crawling back to me on her knees.
00:15:34Too bad you couldn't choose Caitlyn instead.
00:15:37No, Ravina, this is a business transaction.
00:15:39Steel marries Margaret, then becomes CEO of Foster Incorporated, my ex-wife's business.
00:15:46That's the perfect arrangement because Margaret supplies Steel with the money.
00:15:50Yeah.
00:15:51And Caitlyn supplies him with other benefits.
00:15:56They're like a tag team.
00:15:58A tag team?
00:16:06Let's get this clear once and for all.
00:16:09None of you are ever getting your hands on my mother's money, ever.
00:16:13Not you, not my sleazy ass-for-sale stepsister, not this cheating man whore, and not whoever
00:16:20the hell you are.
00:16:28For your information, I'm the mayor of this city, and you just called my son a man whore.
00:16:37You will apologize.
00:16:40Now, on your knees, or I will crush you.
00:16:47No, I don't get on my knees.
00:16:49That's Caitlyn's specialty, but I am so sorry that I called your son a man whore.
00:16:56I should have called him a wannabe man whore because he only has one pitiful pickup line.
00:17:02My mother's the mayor.
00:17:04A mayor who let the reservoirs get so dry that the whole city could burn.
00:17:09You want me to apologize?
00:17:10You should be apologizing to the people of this city.
00:17:14One more word.
00:17:16Sit down and shut it.
00:17:18Ah!
00:17:19You will be a humble, obedient, respectful wife, or you will never inherit that company.
00:17:27I'm afraid I can't marry Steele.
00:17:30Don't you know that polygamy is illegal in California?
00:17:33A woman can't have two husbands.
00:17:35What are you talking about?
00:17:38Well, you see, I'm already married.
00:17:42My paper beats your paper.
00:17:48What did you do?
00:17:50Grab some homeless guy to marry?
00:17:55Everyone knows you were engaged to the mayor's son.
00:17:59How dare you embarrass the mayor publicly?
00:18:03You were a liability to this company and you'll be replaced as a CEO by me.
00:18:07I am the new CEO.
00:18:09That is not going to happen.
00:18:17I'll catch up with you guys in a little bit.
00:18:19I feel clear out of my room.
00:18:21Boss, you married a girl you don't even know?
00:18:24What were you thinking?
00:18:29Whitman, sometimes in life you crunched enough.
00:18:33Read your numbers and read the market and leverage your assets.
00:18:37And then there's other times you just listen to your heart.
00:18:42This is one of those times.
00:18:46There's my wife right now.
00:18:52Margaret, you're done.
00:18:55Who's that creep that's threatening her?
00:18:57That's Jackson Foster, your father-in-law.
00:19:00I did some research.
00:19:01Step ahead of you, boss.
00:19:03Well, I'm going to put an end to this.
00:19:07Anyone can make a fake marriage license.
00:19:10Just admit you don't have a husband.
00:19:12Excuse me.
00:19:13Who the hell are you?
00:19:17I'm Margaret's husband.
00:19:19Dad.
00:19:20Is this some kind of joke?
00:19:22You're the joke?
00:19:23Of course it's you.
00:19:25You found some random fireman to marry.
00:19:28Oh, my God.
00:19:30How pathetic.
00:19:32How much does he make a year?
00:19:34Like, $30,000 after taxes?
00:19:37You really lowered yourself, Margaret.
00:19:40A fireman?
00:19:43What's wrong with being a fireman?
00:19:44Poor.
00:19:49Stinky.
00:19:51These men save your lives and you bitches point your noses down at them?
00:19:55They are saving this city because she was too inept to do it.
00:19:59Keep it up.
00:20:01And I'll wipe that ugly look off of your face permanently.
00:20:04You know who I am.
00:20:08Move your fat asses.
00:20:10Go out there and do your goddamn jobs.
00:20:13And stop interrupting us.
00:20:16I'm sorry?
00:20:17We all know who you are.
00:20:20Miss do-nothing mayor.
00:20:22Why are you here sitting in a hotel lobby blabbing while the whole city is burning down?
00:20:27Who are you to challenge me?
00:20:30I can fire all of you.
00:20:34Hey, guys.
00:20:35We're being fired.
00:20:37Oh, wait a minute.
00:20:38You're not our chief, so you can't fire us.
00:20:41That's it.
00:20:42We're done talking to you idiots.
00:20:43As for you, you're going to dump this pathetic loser and you're coming home with me.
00:20:49Touch her again and I will drop you where you stand.
00:20:53You and what army?
00:20:55This army.
00:20:57You owe us an apology.
00:20:58All of you.
00:21:01Apologize.
00:21:02Now.
00:21:03Oh.
00:21:04Poor fireman.
00:21:06I'm so sorry.
00:21:09Sorry about to get your asses kicked out of here.
00:21:12Security!
00:21:17Good move, Madam Mayor.
00:21:19And when this whole city burns down, how are you going to explain to your people that you fired the firefighters that were trying to protect it?
00:21:25This is breaking news.
00:21:27It seems the mayor is firing a team of firefighters.
00:21:30Madam Mayor, do you have a comment?
00:21:33I would never do that.
00:21:35L.A. firefighters are our true heroes.
00:21:39I'm here to support them.
00:21:40That is very lovely.
00:21:42That is very lovely.
00:21:43By the way, why are you here in a luxury hotel when the entire city is on fire?
00:21:49She was cutting a deal for a corporate takeover with a rich-ass CEO.
00:21:52Rich-ass CEO.
00:21:55Madam Mayor, is that true?
00:21:58And do you have a comment?
00:21:59As I said, I am here to support these brave men.
00:22:06Go firefighters!
00:22:08You know, many people are criticizing your complete and utter incompetence in the handling of the wildfires.
00:22:15In fact, people are pointing out the fact that you cut $17.5 million from the fire department's budget right as the wildfires were starting.
00:22:24What is your response?
00:22:31I have no comment.
00:22:35No comment.
00:22:38You know, not all rich CEOs are assholes.
00:22:43Believe me, they're all aggressive narcissists.
00:22:46I've seen way too many of them.
00:22:48That's why I just want a regular guy like you.
00:22:50Okay.
00:22:51I don't think she's going to like me if I tell her who I am.
00:22:53So, hey.
00:22:55So, how much did she pay you to be her fake husband?
00:22:59Well, like, a hundred bucks a day.
00:23:01Boy, you've really gotten desperate, huh?
00:23:03Hiring some nobody to pretend to be your husband just to cheat us.
00:23:08Just so you could comply to the will and take over the company.
00:23:13That's very clever.
00:23:14How many times do I have to tell you that this is my mother's company?
00:23:19So, it belongs to me.
00:23:21You'll never pull it off.
00:23:23Let's go.
00:23:24Chris, thank you for standing by me.
00:23:33You married me for a business deal and didn't tell me?
00:23:37It wasn't for a business deal.
00:23:40It was a lawyer thing.
00:23:42I had to get married by next week or else I wouldn't have been able to inherit my mother's company.
00:23:46But, it...
00:23:47I'm such an idiot.
00:23:51What?
00:23:54It wasn't a fake marriage!
00:23:57Don't go!
00:24:00He's a fireman?
00:24:02That is hot.
00:24:04Oh, he's incredibly hot.
00:24:06Even though he's not an actual firefighter.
00:24:08She thinks you're hot and you saved her life.
00:24:11That's a pretty good start.
00:24:12So, he saved her life and then you told him you needed a husband for the inheritance and then he said...
00:24:18Actually, I didn't tell him that.
00:24:22Yeah, but I didn't hear that from her.
00:24:24I'm sure she was planning to.
00:24:26But there was a lot going on, you know?
00:24:27I almost died in a fire and then I escaped the hospital and the next thing you know I'm kissing a guy that I...
00:24:32Oh, no!
00:24:33And he kissed you back?
00:24:34Well, no.
00:24:35I mean, it was more than a kiss.
00:24:37I mean, it was like it was melting into him.
00:24:39She makes me feel like she's melting into me.
00:24:43I've never had anybody make me feel that way before.
00:24:46But then to find out that she wasn't being honest with me...
00:24:49You can still fix this, Margaret.
00:24:51Go talk to him.
00:24:53No!
00:24:54Talk to her.
00:24:55No.
00:24:56She was hiding things from me.
00:24:58What about you?
00:24:59I told her the truth that I am not a firefighter but was just to help her.
00:25:05Well, what about the fact that you're the CEO of the Fortune 500 company with a net worth of like one point...
00:25:09Yeah, I didn't tell her that part.
00:25:11All right?
00:25:12What if I talk to him and he just shuts me out?
00:25:15She's afraid you'll shut her out.
00:25:17Do you want to shut her out?
00:25:18Really?
00:25:19What do you really want, Margaret?
00:25:22This is one of those moments in life where it's do or die.
00:25:24You need to open up to him.
00:25:26Thank you guys.
00:25:42I appreciate it.
00:25:43Let's do our part.
00:25:45Boss.
00:25:46Boss.
00:25:46Boss.
00:25:46Boss.
00:25:47Boss.
00:25:47Boss.
00:25:48Hi.
00:25:48Chris.
00:25:49I know you're busy with the fires.
00:26:11Hi.
00:26:12Margaret.
00:26:14I have something I need to tell you.
00:26:15And now is probably not the best time.
00:26:17I just wanted to say that I'm sorry.
00:26:19I know that you're upset with me.
00:26:21I didn't mean to keep things from you.
00:26:23Everything just started happening so fast.
00:26:25I don't expect you to forgive me but...
00:26:28I needed you to know that I'm sorry.
00:26:45Wait.
00:26:48How did you find me?
00:26:50I was just driving around.
00:26:51I figured you'd be near the fires.
00:26:53Do not do that again.
00:26:55I...
00:26:56Just stay away, okay?
00:26:58If you want to contact me, call me and tell me where to meet you, but please let it be
00:27:11a safe place.
00:27:12You mean you want me to contact you?
00:27:15I certainly don't want you driving around in a red zone.
00:27:18It's far too dangerous.
00:27:19Right.
00:27:20I'll be more careful next time.
00:27:24Will there be a next time?
00:27:27Listen, I didn't exactly tell you everything about me either, okay?
00:27:32Wow.
00:27:33You were so mad that you took your ring off, huh?
00:27:37But when I saw you in that fire, and then afterwards, you kissed me.
00:27:44Okay, wait.
00:27:45Let's get one thing clear.
00:27:46Let's go around kissing strange guys, okay?
00:27:48I know.
00:27:49Of course.
00:27:50Of course not.
00:27:51It was a special circumstance.
00:27:55I'm sure I'm never going to do anything like that in my life ever again.
00:27:58I know.
00:27:59It's just that my financial situation is not what...
00:28:02How do you do that?
00:28:19Do that thing where you make me melt into you?
00:28:23Me?
00:28:24I thought you did that.
00:28:27Isn't that what you do?
00:28:28No.
00:28:29It just happens.
00:28:30It's never happened to me before, but it only happens when I'm with you.
00:28:34We were talking about something, what was that again?
00:28:55Uh-huh.
00:28:56Money.
00:28:57Right.
00:28:58Money.
00:28:59Oh my god.
00:29:00Who cares about money?
00:29:01I don't care if you're poor, or in debt, or whatever.
00:29:05Well, that's the thing.
00:29:06I'm not actually...
00:29:07I don't want a rich man.
00:29:08I mean, my father is one, and my stepmother, and you've seen them.
00:29:13They're like a cross between Rita Repulsive and Mr. Krabs.
00:29:16Okay, but you don't think every rich person is like that, right?
00:29:20Look, let's just leave it at this.
00:29:22You don't have money, and so what?
00:29:24I don't need all the details.
00:29:26Are you sure?
00:29:27You're not going to abandon me because I'm poor?
00:29:32You are the most handsome, smartest man that I have ever met.
00:29:37I will never abandon you.
00:29:40Let's just...
00:29:42They will be totally honest with each other from now on.
00:29:46Promise?
00:29:47What's next?
00:29:48Here's your new home.
00:29:49My husband.
00:29:50I am a lucky guy.
00:29:52Come on in.
00:29:53Here.
00:29:54Sorry about the space.
00:29:55My company's struggling a little bit.
00:29:56I am a lucky guy.
00:29:57I am a lucky guy.
00:29:59Come on in.
00:30:00It's a bit modest but...
00:30:01No, don't!
00:30:02No, don't!
00:30:03Stop it!
00:30:04Stop it!
00:30:05Stop it!
00:30:06Stop it!
00:30:07Stop it!
00:30:08Stop it!
00:30:09Stop it!
00:30:10Stop it!
00:30:11Stop it!
00:30:12Stop it!
00:30:13Oh!
00:30:14Oh!
00:30:15Oh!
00:30:16Oh!
00:30:17Oh!
00:30:18Oh!
00:30:19I'm sorry.
00:30:20Um...
00:30:21I could fix your pipes for you so that it doesn't explode again.
00:30:22Sure.
00:30:23Of course.
00:30:24Oh!
00:30:25Oh!
00:30:26Oh!
00:30:27Oh!
00:30:28Oh!
00:30:29Oh!
00:30:30Oh!
00:30:31Oh!
00:30:32Oh!
00:30:33Oh!
00:30:34Oh!
00:30:35Oh!
00:30:37Oh!
00:30:38Oh!
00:30:39Oh!
00:30:40Oh!
00:30:41Oh!
00:30:42Oh!
00:30:43Oh!
00:30:44Oh!
00:30:45Oh!
00:30:46Oh!
00:30:47Oh!
00:30:48Oh!
00:30:49Oh!
00:30:50Oh!
00:30:51Oh this shouldn't happen.
00:30:52Oh!
00:30:53Oh!
00:30:54Thank you!
00:30:55Yeah!
00:30:56Oh!
00:30:57Let me see.
00:30:59He is so hot.
00:31:10Should be all good.
00:31:15So...
00:31:18So...
00:31:21Oh, my God.
00:31:51Sorry. I've got to take it. It's work. I know. This better to be important. That's a big move. I'll see what I can do. I'm so sorry. I've got to go to work. What? I know. Chris, what is it you actually do for a living?
00:32:21So, you're making a fire suppressant because you work for Morcorp?
00:32:28Kind of.
00:32:28That's so cool. And it's going to stop the wildfires?
00:32:31We hope so.
00:32:32So, my team, our team has been making some progress this week, but we're supposed to roll it out this weekend, so there's not much time.
00:32:44Geez. I didn't know. You should have told me.
00:32:49I tried.
00:32:50Well, I'm sure you can do it, Chris. I'm rooting for you.
00:32:54You know, I'm not used to having someone at home rooting for me. It's new, but...
00:33:00It's nice.
00:33:03It's nice.
00:33:59I'll be right there.
00:34:17Something wrong? What happened?
00:34:20What happened is...
00:34:22We did it.
00:34:25Oh!
00:34:29It worked!
00:34:34Margaret, this is going to save lives.
00:34:37Oh!
00:34:39Shoot.
00:34:40I have to go meet with the fire captain.
00:34:41This is the big test. We have to prove the suppressant works.
00:34:44I'll see you later.
00:34:45Okay.
00:34:46Yes! The fires are going out. We are kicking this fire's ass. I mean, this is a breakthrough in science. We are making history, my friend.
00:35:02All right, guys. Grab every container we got. Bambi buckets. Tsunami tanks. Get them filled and airborne. We are going to kill this fire now.
00:35:14Stop whatever you're doing and tell those choppers to load the fire suppressant from Foster Corporation.
00:35:34No. We just tested a fire suppressant from Moore Corp. It's superior to that crap you've been sending us.
00:35:40L.A. is burning. We don't have time for your city hall bullshit.
00:35:44And I don't have time for your insubordination.
00:35:47How much kickback are you making from this, Madam Mayor? How many houses need to burn down in order for you to make a profit off of the bogus chemicals that don't even work?
00:35:55I gave you an order. Load my fire suppressant or you're fired.
00:36:01Good. Fire. Because I will not be responsible for your disaster.
00:36:06Your wish is granted.
00:36:09You're fired.
00:36:10This is the end of Chief Taylor.
00:36:15No. I think this is the end of Mayor Davis. Remember I said it.
00:36:20Get out of here and take this piece of trash with you.
00:36:31Okay. Our deal has changed. One third is not enough.
00:36:36I want a two third cut. I need to make some money off of this thing.
00:36:41Don't you look so glum? I'm gonna make you CEO of Foster Inc.
00:36:46I got a new plan.
00:36:49Come on. The door won't open itself.
00:36:58Congratulations on your victory. I'm so proud of you.
00:37:02Almost a victory. The mayor shut us down. She's been colluding with your dad.
00:37:09We're finished. She's the whole city hall to back her up.
00:37:14Hey, don't let them scare you.
00:37:16The bureaucrats like to live in these little protected hives.
00:37:19Once you crack those hives open, they scatter like roaches looking for the nearest drain pipe.
00:37:28Boss, I think your dad set up a board meeting behind your back. For tomorrow.
00:37:31Copy that.
00:37:37Great. My biological father is about to ambush me.
00:37:40So it seems like we have a common enemy.
00:37:44And?
00:37:45And I'd like to do you the favor of destroying him.
00:37:49How? Do you want me to put you on the board of directors?
00:37:53No, no. I want to be your assistant.
00:37:56What? I-I-I'm gonna be your boss?
00:38:01Mm-hmm.
00:38:02I've got an idea.
00:38:04Okay.
00:38:11Alright, let's make this fast.
00:38:13Margaret cannot be the CEO of this company.
00:38:15I-I don't care what the will says.
00:38:17Even the mayor wants Margaret out.
00:38:20Shouldn't Margaret be here to at least speak for herself?
00:38:22Don't be dense. Margaret will be out before she knows what hit her.
00:38:26And, Caitlin will be in.
00:38:28Any board meeting without my approval is illegal.
00:38:31You are not authorized.
00:38:33She is fully authorized.
00:38:36What the hell? Not you again?
00:38:38This is a board meeting only for employees of Foster Incorporated.
00:38:43Right. Well, why don't you all help me welcome our newest employee?
00:38:47I put Chris on the payroll this morning.
00:38:49He's my new personal assistant.
00:38:51That's right.
00:38:54Assistant of what? Cleaning toilets?
00:38:57Oh, my God.
00:38:59Margaret, this is just so like you.
00:39:02Soling our company with your low-life husband.
00:39:06Well, I'm glad you acknowledged me as Margaret's husband.
00:39:09As that covers our first point today on our agenda.
00:39:11Section 12-3-C.
00:39:14Margaret Foster will inherit Foster, Inc.
00:39:18So long as she is married by the designated date.
00:39:21So, this means that Margaret is now the owner of Foster Incorporated.
00:39:28From now on, you all would call her Madam CEO.
00:39:33No.
00:39:34When are you going to get me one of those?
00:39:36When you hear some class?
00:39:38Don't pal.
00:39:39We're going to take him out right now.
00:39:40Yeah.
00:39:43It doesn't change anything.
00:39:44That's right.
00:39:45This company has been hemorrhaging money because of you, Margaret.
00:39:49We will not let you destroy it.
00:39:50And the only people who can take care of that is sitting right here in this room.
00:39:54Me and my brilliant new man.
00:39:59Steel can turn this company around like that.
00:40:03Tell them, honey.
00:40:05Get rid of her and I'll double the company's revenue in four months.
00:40:09Backed by the mayor.
00:40:10My mom.
00:40:11100%.
00:40:13The mayor herself.
00:40:16That's exactly what we need.
00:40:18I like when you take control.
00:40:21Hold on.
00:40:22Margaret and I can also increase Foster Incorporated's revenues.
00:40:28He's going to double the revenue in four months.
00:40:31No one else can mention.
00:40:33Oh, we can.
00:40:35Chris, what are you saying?
00:40:37Stick with me, okay?
00:40:39What I'm about to say is a promise.
00:40:41A guarantee.
00:40:43Mr. Davis, you claim that you can double revenues in four months.
00:40:48Yes, I can.
00:40:49We will increase revenues tenfold.
00:40:52In only one month.
00:40:56Thanks.
00:40:57Ah, shit.
00:41:03In only one month.
00:41:07Ah, shit.
00:41:09No one can do that.
00:41:10I don't think you know how it works.
00:41:11It's crazy.
00:41:12I can't make that kind of promise.
00:41:14It's impossible.
00:41:15Margaret.
00:41:17Follow my lead.
00:41:18Okay?
00:41:20This is ludicrous.
00:41:21Okay.
00:41:22How the hell is a homeless deadbeat going to increase company revenue?
00:41:27Margaret is a master of outreach.
00:41:29She will set up a strategic partnership with the Moore Corporation.
00:41:33The Moore Corporation has operations in every countryman in the world.
00:41:37They won't even take a phone call from Margaret.
00:41:40Oh, but they already have.
00:41:42In fact, the manager has set up a meeting for Margaret tomorrow.
00:41:46Yeah, that's bullshit.
00:41:49Moore Corp would never work with a nobody like Margaret.
00:41:52You're delusional.
00:41:54Well, there is no harm to let her try.
00:41:57What?
00:41:59You'd better not disappoint us, Margaret.
00:42:01Okay, okay.
00:42:01Let's just make this straight here, okay?
00:42:03Let's...
00:42:05Margaret, you have one month to deliver Moore Corp and make this company's revenue, what,
00:42:11tenfold you said?
00:42:13One month or else the will is null and void and you disappear forever.
00:42:23Agreed.
00:42:23Oh, you dug your own grave, sis.
00:42:30One month from now, we're going to kick you to the gutter.
00:42:33Where you belong.
00:42:34With your gutter husband.
00:42:38Got it.
00:42:46Chris, you can't make up stories like this.
00:42:49God, I'm going to lose my mother's company.
00:42:52Why did you tell them that they scheduled a meeting?
00:42:56Because I did.
00:42:59Moore Corp is expecting you.
00:43:01Tomorrow.
00:43:02They are?
00:43:03You're...
00:43:04You're not joking?
00:43:05No.
00:43:06Oh my God, Chris, that's amazing!
00:43:09By the way, his rings are great.
00:43:12They almost look real.
00:43:14Yeah.
00:43:15Almost.
00:43:16Oh.
00:43:22Calm down.
00:43:26We're not going to let your daughter beat you.
00:43:31There's no way she can beat me.
00:43:33Moore Corp will never work with a nobody like her, right?
00:43:36Or what if she makes it happen?
00:43:38Then we'll stop her.
00:43:39How?
00:43:40Gina, I'm sending over the contact info for Christopher Moore, the CEO of Moore Corporation.
00:43:52Tell his office the mayor is coming to see him tomorrow.
00:43:56I expect him to be there.
00:43:58Either Mr. Moore does what I tell him to do, or I'll shut down his operations in the city.
00:44:06That'd be a multi-billion dollar loss for him.
00:44:14Christopher Moore guy, he's a real mystery man.
00:44:17No public appearances.
00:44:18And then let's not forget, we rejected his fire suppressant, so he's probably pretty pissed off at us.
00:44:26Don't worry about that.
00:44:29We'll find out who he is and how to get to him.
00:44:32That's my specialty.
00:44:38I've never met with the management of a global corporation before.
00:44:41Who knows?
00:44:42Maybe you have and you just didn't know it.
00:44:45I'd know.
00:44:46They're all assholes.
00:44:47You see them coming from a mile away.
00:44:49This PowerPoint isn't quite ready yet, I don't think.
00:44:58You need to grab their attention right away.
00:45:01And the flower you're writing, it's a business meeting, not a poetry club.
00:45:08I mean, have you heard of Bullet Boys?
00:45:11Okay, all right, all right.
00:45:14Well, why don't you show me what you would do?
00:45:16Okay.
00:45:17The presentation.
00:45:22I like the pink.
00:45:24I don't think they're going to like me very much.
00:45:28The CEO loves you.
00:45:30The CEO of Morgorp?
00:45:32How would he love me?
00:45:33I've never even met the guy.
00:45:34Um, I mean, he knows you.
00:45:38I've mentioned you to him before.
00:45:41Whoa, Chris, you know the CEO?
00:45:44Who are you?
00:45:45I'm just a nobody.
00:45:47You're not a nobody, you're my husband.
00:45:56Friday is great.
00:45:57It's just that these guys don't have the attention spans.
00:46:00Read your poetic.
00:46:01For the business proposal, we could do something along the lines.
00:46:03Do you feel like you're giving a school presentation?
00:46:17We're playing Twister?
00:46:19I'm a dramatic vet.
00:46:21I'm pulling their attention.
00:46:22You are, exactly.
00:46:23It's acting.
00:46:26I'm talking about my presentation that I have.
00:46:29Good morning, boss.
00:46:41I mean, boxes of mints are on the table if you'd like to try one.
00:46:48He will show us to the office.
00:46:50I will show you to that office.
00:46:52What an honor.
00:46:53It's nice to meet you.
00:46:54I think I've heard your voice before.
00:46:56Oh, of course.
00:46:57We work closely together and he's my manager.
00:47:05Do you feel ready?
00:47:09I think so.
00:47:14I need to just send a meeting to my wife.
00:47:17We have an agreement to sign.
00:47:19She still doesn't know who you are?
00:47:21No.
00:47:22Copy that and I'll set up the meeting now.
00:47:24Oh, and the mayor wants to meet her.
00:47:26Of course she does.
00:47:27She's in the office now.
00:47:29What a surprise.
00:47:30Surprise!
00:47:31Someone else wants a meeting, but they are just going to have to wait.
00:47:49We have been waiting here for half an hour.
00:47:52Yes.
00:47:53That's because you didn't make an appointment in advance.
00:47:56I am the mayor.
00:47:58I know who you are.
00:47:59We all do.
00:48:00My cousin lost her home in the fires.
00:48:03Don't you have more important things to do right now?
00:48:06How dare you?
00:48:08You are just a useless office girl.
00:48:12Now, tell Mr. Moore that I insist...
00:48:24Good morning, Mr. Moore.
00:48:26That's him.
00:48:31Oh, my God.
00:48:34Can you believe they let common street trash in a beautiful building like this?
00:48:39Excuse me.
00:48:40Why did you call him Mr. Moore?
00:48:42Oh, no, no.
00:48:47I was just saying, Mr. There's more.
00:48:51Like, more mints in the waiting room.
00:48:54What is with the mints here?
00:48:56We've got really good mints.
00:48:58Don't worry about it.
00:48:59I might have underestimated you, okay?
00:49:01But don't you get delusional.
00:49:02Whoever you're meeting has to be a low-level lackey.
00:49:05Let's get real.
00:49:06The mayor and I are meeting the CEO.
00:49:10Stallman.
00:49:11Which means you have zero chance of ever beating me.
00:49:16Got it?
00:49:18Uh, Mr. Moore is on his way.
00:49:21Do you mind waiting here just a bit longer?
00:49:24Aw.
00:49:25Sorry your meeting got delayed.
00:49:26Well, mine is right on the dot.
00:49:28You see, my husband and I made a presentation together.
00:49:31It's very professional.
00:49:33I think Moore Corp is really going to like it.
00:49:35Shh.
00:49:37I'm taking three.
00:49:41Meant to be.
00:49:44How dare she?
00:49:45How dare she?
00:49:46Fine.
00:49:48We wait.
00:49:49But he better be here soon.
00:49:52I mean, of course.
00:49:53After all, you're the mayor.
00:49:56Um, thank you all for meeting with me today.
00:50:00Um, my name is Barbara Koster, and I will-
00:50:03And I would love to work with you.
00:50:24Congratulations.
00:50:26Mr. Moore is on the way, but, you know, L.A. traffic, plus the fires, make it even worse.
00:50:39Excuse me.
00:50:40Sorry to interrupt your indignation, but do you have a sheet protector that I could use?
00:50:51I just signed a contract, and I don't want to get it stained or anything.
00:50:54Oh, congratulations, Ms. Foster, of course.
00:50:55Yeah, okay, quit playing games.
00:50:57You didn't sign any contract.
00:50:59Well, unfortunately for you, I did.
00:51:02And that's for a hundred million dollar deal.
00:51:06Bullshit.
00:51:07About that.
00:51:08Looks like I will be the CEO of Foster Inc. after all.
00:51:17You must be so proud of your daughter, Dad.
00:51:20Call me that!
00:51:22I will not let you do this.
00:51:24By the way, what are your friends showing up?
00:51:28Three, two, one.
00:51:30One.
00:51:34Madam Mayor, what do you have to say about the new fires that just broke out?
00:51:39Oh, no.
00:51:40Not again.
00:51:41You'll have to schedule an interview with my press team.
00:51:46I don't have time for this right now.
00:51:48Well, it looks like you have plenty of time.
00:51:50Tell us, why aren't you out there stopping the fires?
00:51:53What do you have to say?
00:51:54It is completely unfair that you are judging me.
00:51:58I am working every minute on this.
00:52:01But you rejected Moor Corps' fires at present, and you made a deal with Mr. Foster.
00:52:05I had my reasons.
00:52:07And what were they?
00:52:09Personal profits?
00:52:10Stock options.
00:52:14Oh, Mr. Foster, it's you.
00:52:16We got a tip that you have an under-the-table deal with Madam Mayor.
00:52:21And that your fire suppressant doesn't even work.
00:52:24That is complete nonsense.
00:52:27Complete nonsense, that is.
00:52:30This is a witch hunt.
00:52:32Madam Mayor, just one more.
00:52:34Ask her why she canned the fire chief while her son is collecting millions
00:52:38as a paid consultant for city contractors.
00:52:41So much corruption, so little time.
00:52:43Let's go.
00:52:44Yeah, yeah, right now.
00:52:45Let's go.
00:52:46Madam Mayor, just one more.
00:52:47For the people.
00:52:48Last question about your personal records.
00:52:54Why aren't you out there trying to stop the fires?
00:52:57It is completely unfair for you to judge me.
00:53:00I have been working on this every day.
00:53:02One of our eyewitness team members has found a secret ledger showing the city is paying triple
00:53:07for the fire suppressant.
00:53:08You know, you were perfect in today's meeting.
00:53:15Yeah, but the CEO, Mr. Moore, didn't show up.
00:53:18I wonder what he's like.
00:53:22Probably just some rich a-hole.
00:53:25That's what you said, remember?
00:53:27Yeah, but his company is actually doing good things.
00:53:31I kind of want to meet him.
00:53:32I don't know if that's a great idea.
00:53:35He's a bachelor, you know?
00:53:38He might try to steal you from me.
00:53:40Oh, that is not going to happen.
00:53:45I felt you supporting me today, Chris.
00:53:47All day.
00:53:49I haven't felt that support since my mom passed away.
00:53:52I'm sorry you had to go through that.
00:53:54I know it must have been a very dark time.
00:53:57She was my rock.
00:53:59I can be the rock of your life now.
00:54:02I want to be the person you lean on when you need it.
00:54:07You know, sometimes I just want to rip your clothes off
00:54:12and drag you to bed,
00:54:13and other times I just want to get closer
00:54:15and feel your heart beating next to mine.
00:54:17My heart is racing.
00:54:29For you.
00:54:31I don't know.
00:54:33I feel like you're a favorite part of the work.
00:54:34Yeah, what's up?
00:54:36What's up?
00:54:37I saw you cross the road, yeah.
00:54:38Going in the moonlight.
00:54:39I don't know where you've been.
00:54:44But I'm glad that you're here.
00:54:47Let me take you by the hand.
00:54:48Reason too.
00:54:50Girl, it's our time.
00:54:54Just you and I
00:54:57Don't, I don't hide
00:54:59No, I'll do it right
00:55:04We got all night
00:55:06I'll take you so high
00:55:09Baby, let me love you
00:55:13Let me love you
00:55:16Baby, let me love you
00:55:24You killed it Margaret, you're a rock star
00:55:27We're with you Margaret, always
00:55:31You see, everyone's with you now
00:55:33No one supports you now
00:55:36Because this is a bogus agreement
00:55:39It's a publicity stunt
00:55:41You guys just see
00:55:42Like anyone's gonna give her a hundred million dollars
00:55:46Oh my gosh
00:55:54Put me through to finance
00:56:01We need to make a bank transfer
00:56:03Once they find out that my suppressant
00:56:05Is better than more companies
00:56:07They're gonna cut Margaret off like that
00:56:11Oh, so uh
00:56:14Who you supported now?
00:56:20Are you sure Morcorp is not going to pay us?
00:56:24100%
00:56:34Why would they shell out cash to someone like that?
00:56:37Because a down payment of 30 million dollars
00:56:42Just landed in our corporate account
00:56:44From Morcorp
00:56:46Oh, wrong again, dad
00:56:50Seems like you're making a real handle on that
00:56:53What?
00:56:54Just you wait
00:56:55Once they see that my suppressant is superior
00:56:58All of this
00:57:00Will be all gone
00:57:01Margaret, we want you to know that we support you
00:57:06And we've been on your side all along
00:57:08Yes
00:57:09I really appreciate that
00:57:11Seems like we have some big things to do
00:57:16Today's the day that we prove our suppressant is superior once and for all
00:57:26And get those stupid reporters off our backs
00:57:28And as the new fire chief
00:57:30And as the new fire chief
00:57:31You know what your job is, right?
00:57:34Fight the fires?
00:57:36No
00:57:38Make sure you follow my commands
00:57:42It's them
00:57:43How did you know they were going to be here?
00:57:44Are you some kind of spy?
00:57:45Are you some kind of spy?
00:57:46Hey I'm just a regular guy
00:57:47That's what you said
00:57:48That's why you like me
00:57:49Remember?
00:57:50Well for a regular guy
00:57:51You sure do have a lot of inside information
00:57:52I just know they ordered a chopper today
00:57:53Off record
00:57:54And I want to know why
00:57:55There it is
00:57:57The fires are getting worse
00:58:24The fires are getting worse
00:58:25Holy shit
00:58:26It's getting worse! Holy shit!
00:58:28Oh.
00:58:29Oh!
00:58:30No!
00:58:31That's not fire suppressant!
00:58:33It's more like fire starter!
00:58:35Call the chopper and tell him to stop dropping it!
00:58:38Oh my god!
00:58:40Ah!
00:58:41It's too late!
00:58:42The payloads have all been dropped!
00:58:44Ah, good God! It's coming our direction!
00:58:47You're an idiot!
00:58:49If this reaches us, everything here is going to blow sky high!
00:58:53Ah!
00:58:54No, but how do half force like this get control of the city?
00:58:58We've got to do something about this.
00:59:00Help!
00:59:01I'll figure something out, but first I've got to get you to safety. Come on.
00:59:04Okay.
00:59:05Come on.
00:59:06Okay.
00:59:07Great.
00:59:10For now, I just want you to stay here and be careful.
00:59:13You need to be careful too, Chris. You're not fireproof, you know.
00:59:19What are you doing here?
00:59:21Step ahead of you.
00:59:22Thought you might need my help.
00:59:25Okay. Thank you.
00:59:26Yeah, I've got a few things you can do for me.
00:59:29You've got stuff to do for him?
00:59:31Yeah.
00:59:32But I thought he was your manager.
00:59:33He is.
00:59:34But the thing is...
00:59:37I'm...
00:59:38As your manager, I have to look after my employees.
00:59:42Why, I might even give you a raise next year, Chris.
00:59:45Just stay here. Keep a watch on the fire alerts, okay? I will call my people, our people, to protect you.
01:00:00Tomorrow.
01:00:01Call Captain Fire and have them come to Margaret's house immediately.
01:00:06Really? You didn't even do that for your own house, which is worth like a hundred million dollars.
01:00:10Just do it, okay?
01:00:12Okay.
01:00:14I'm only saying her house is worth like half a million. The cost of the service is probably...
01:00:18It's not always about money, Whitman.
01:00:21Okay. Call them right now.
01:00:24You're paying the bill.
01:00:25It's gonna be an expensive call.
01:00:27Fire Protection Service? Where'd they come from?
01:00:43You screwed this up!
01:00:47I could bankrupt you like that!
01:00:49Hold on.
01:00:50I know how to fix all of this with just two words.
01:00:53More Corb.
01:00:55Okay?
01:00:56We buy all their fire suppressant.
01:00:58You know, very hush-hush.
01:01:00Then you get all the credit for it.
01:01:02How?
01:01:03They blocked our calls.
01:01:05We can't get to them.
01:01:06Yeah, we can't.
01:01:08But Margaret can.
01:01:11And she is still my daughter.
01:01:17My critics are politically motivated.
01:01:21We have the fires completely under control.
01:01:24This is bullshit.
01:01:25I grew up in Los Angeles.
01:01:27I played in these parks.
01:01:28And in these playgrounds.
01:01:38Now I have to watch it all burn down because these fools won't use a fire suppressant that works.
01:01:43Margaret!
01:01:44I hope you don't mind me interrupting, Mr. Whitman.
01:01:56Huh?
01:01:57Oh, yes.
01:01:58Well, this, yes, it's my office.
01:02:00But, you know, if it's important.
01:02:02It is.
01:02:04Chris, my father called.
01:02:06He wants something.
01:02:10My father called.
01:02:11He wants something.
01:02:13The answer is no.
01:02:15If there's something that your dad wants, it's probably bad.
01:02:18Maybe not this time.
01:02:20He wants to call a truce.
01:02:26It's very unusual for Mr. Moore to grant a meeting on such short notice.
01:02:30You'll need to be quick.
01:02:32Right.
01:02:33Mr. Moore is a very private man and this meeting is entirely confidential.
01:02:37Do not try to look at his face.
01:02:39Talk.
01:02:42Well, to be a vendor in this city, you have to go through lots of protocols.
01:02:48That takes time.
01:02:50We don't have time.
01:02:52Exactly.
01:02:54You see, Mr. Foster's company is already an approved vendor.
01:02:59And so.
01:03:00So we sell to Mr. Foster.
01:03:02He sells to the city.
01:03:04Can't let anyone know.
01:03:05Do I have that right?
01:03:06You are fast, Mr. Moore.
01:03:09So, what's your price?
01:03:11Free.
01:03:13But you have to answer this one question.
01:03:15Why are you doing this?
01:03:19Well, we were just concerned.
01:03:23For the sake.
01:03:24Cut the bullshit.
01:03:26Speak to me straight or get out.
01:03:29Okay.
01:03:32Oh, okay.
01:03:33Let's put our cards on the table.
01:03:37We'll put our cards on the table.
01:03:40We're doing this because our fire suppressant didn't work.
01:03:46It made the fires worse.
01:03:49If the public finds out, we're screwed.
01:03:52So, we'd like to use the Moore Corps fire suppressant.
01:03:56But you can't tell anyone.
01:03:59They have to believe we made it.
01:04:02If you agree, I will guarantee permission of the shopping mall you applied for in downtown L.A.
01:04:11Deal?
01:04:15Deal.
01:04:16We'll deliver 2,000 tons of the suppressant this afternoon.
01:04:19But you must deploy it immediately.
01:04:23Fine.
01:04:25Um, just to confirm.
01:04:28What's the price?
01:04:30Zero.
01:04:32You don't pay a penny.
01:04:34Well, that sounds like a win-win.
01:04:38Cut the formalities.
01:04:40We're done here.
01:04:47Okay, thanks.
01:04:49This guy's a prime idiot.
01:04:53You chose for free.
01:04:55He's a billionaire, you fool.
01:04:58He doesn't care about small money.
01:05:01I knew he wanted to build that mall.
01:05:03That's how I got him.
01:05:05I don't understand.
01:05:07Why did you give it to them for free?
01:05:09Because I got exactly what I wanted.
01:05:13Our fire suppressant didn't work.
01:05:18It made the fire worse.
01:05:27It's been an hour.
01:05:29Why haven't we gotten any word?
01:05:31It's been 20 minutes.
01:05:33The pilots need time to confirm.
01:05:35Mrs. Mayor, it worked.
01:05:37It's like a miracle.
01:05:39More Corp Suppressant is-
01:05:40Don't say more Corp.
01:05:43No one is to know where it's from.
01:05:46As far as the world is concerned,
01:05:49it's our suppressant.
01:05:53Got it?
01:05:55Yes, got it.
01:05:57No problem.
01:06:00You know how much money this is going to make us.
01:06:02You are going to be known as the mayor who saved the city.
01:06:11And you are going to win the next election by a landslide.
01:06:18Exactly.
01:06:19Gina, arrange a press conference for tomorrow.
01:06:29We are going to let everyone know.
01:06:32I saved Los Angeles.
01:06:34Let's go.
01:06:35Let's go.
01:06:36Let's go.
01:06:38Let's go.
01:06:40Every news outlet saying the same thing.
01:06:44It's not a fluke.
01:06:46The first time in a week, the fires are retreating.
01:06:50What about the suppressant?
01:06:52They've dropped all of it, and they want more.
01:06:55The winds have even died down.
01:06:57It's like nature is on our side now.
01:06:59Finally.
01:07:05Finally.
01:07:07The mayor has called a press conference.
01:07:10You know she's going to take credit for stopping the fires.
01:07:13I know she's going to try.
01:07:15Oh!
01:07:17What about Margaret?
01:07:19This is not good, boss.
01:07:21She really thinks I run more corn.
01:07:23I don't know why.
01:07:24You are entirely unconvincing.
01:07:25Unconvincing.
01:07:27Totally convincing.
01:07:29What you need is some acting classes.
01:07:33Don't you think it's time to let her in on this?
01:07:36As a matter of fact, I've got that all planned out for tonight.
01:07:40One step ahead of you, boss.
01:07:45Margaret?
01:07:46I have to tell you something.
01:07:47It's my father trying to sabotage me again.
01:07:49You know, I'm not afraid of him.
01:07:50No, it's not like that.
01:07:53It's about your husband.
01:07:55My husband, he is totally overprotective.
01:07:56You know that I had to convince him that it was safe enough for me to come into my own office.
01:08:12Margaret, it's about those rings.
01:08:14I have a surprise for you tonight, sweetheart.
01:08:15Two dozen fresh roses.
01:08:16Gnocchi della Luna.
01:08:17Oh, and I can finally tell you those rings on your finger are real.
01:08:19They are a little ridiculous.
01:08:20I mean, who has diamonds this size?
01:08:21Well, that's the thing.
01:08:22Some people do have diamonds that size.
01:08:23Some people do have diamonds that size.
01:08:24There's a name for those people.
01:08:25Billionaires.
01:08:26Isabel, what are you talking about?
01:08:27Isabel, what are you talking about?
01:08:28Margaret?
01:08:29Isabel, what are you talking about?
01:08:30Margaret, I've got something to tell you.
01:08:31Margaret, I've got something to tell you.
01:08:33Now, I would have told you sooner.
01:08:34But you hate rich people so much that I was just a kid.
01:08:35And I can finally tell you those rings on your finger are real.
01:08:40They are a little ridiculous.
01:08:41I mean, who has diamonds this size?
01:08:43Well, that's the thing.
01:08:45Some people do have diamonds that size.
01:08:48There's a name for those people.
01:08:51Billionaires.
01:08:52Isabel, what are you talking about?
01:08:54Margaret, I've got something to tell you.
01:08:57Now, I would have told you sooner.
01:08:59But you hate rich people so much that I was afraid you were going to get your guillotine out.
01:09:05How much do you know about Moore Corp's CEO Christopher Moore?
01:09:10He's some rich guy?
01:09:13Who never met with you because he doesn't make public appearances.
01:09:16Yeah, so?
01:09:19Do you remember that private investigator we used to look into that auditing glitch last year?
01:09:24Good God, Isabel, would you just tell me what you're talking about?
01:09:27I asked the PI to trace known records of Moore.
01:09:30There was very little there.
01:09:33But he did find one tidbit.
01:09:35Moore purchased some jewelry.
01:09:38Okay, yeah.
01:09:39Rich guys buy jewelry, so what?
01:09:42So, this is what he bought.
01:09:47Look familiar?
01:09:48Yeah, those look like my rings.
01:09:50So, he bought the real ones and Chris bought coffees.
01:09:53Well, this is the ledger entry.
01:09:56Look at the date.
01:09:58He bought these in LA the same day that Chris gave you those.
01:10:08So, that means my husband is...
01:10:11Christopher Moore?!
01:10:13So, you're making a fire suppressant because you work for Moore Corp?
01:10:17Kind of.
01:10:18Margaret is a master of outreach.
01:10:20She will set up a strategic partnership with the Moore Corporation.
01:10:24Good morning, Mr. Moore.
01:10:25I trusted him!
01:10:26How many times am I going to be lied to in my life?!
01:10:29Margaret, your husband's a billionaire.
01:10:32Who cares about you?
01:10:34Every woman in LA wants to be you!
01:10:36No!
01:10:37No!
01:10:38No, this is so wrong!
01:10:44Okay.
01:10:45Cash was in the oven.
01:10:46Salads in the fridge.
01:10:48Jean-Fallard Beaujolais on the chill.
01:10:51Now, I just have to pray that you'll listen to me with an open mind.
01:11:10Margaret, I have something to tell you.
01:11:14Margaret, I have something to tell you.
01:11:16I have something to tell you.
01:11:18Margaret, I...
01:11:20Don't say another word.
01:11:23Just leave.
01:11:27You're a liar!
01:11:28I am proud to announce that the fires that have been ravaging this city are now extinguished.
01:11:51These fires are out because of our brave mayor, Michelle Davis.
01:11:58And I just want to say thank you to the firefighters.
01:12:03I am the one who put out these fires.
01:12:08Girl, you really kicked a billionaire out of your house?
01:12:13He lied to me.
01:12:14I've had enough betrayal for an entire lifetime.
01:12:16I'm sure he had his reasons.
01:12:18He didn't mean to hurt you, Margaret.
01:12:20Yeah, well, it hurts anyway.
01:12:28And I would like to acknowledge myself for the courage, the vision, and the leadership that great leaders show when they're leading.
01:12:43Cringe.
01:12:44You cannot overstate how stupid she is.
01:12:48Can I just say one more thing?
01:12:49No, you cannot.
01:12:50The fire suppressant that put out the fires was created by me.
01:12:58And deployed at my command.
01:13:01Yes, yes, yes, thank you.
01:13:04It's me who saved L.A.
01:13:08Support me.
01:13:11Vote for me.
01:13:13Y'all know you can trust me.
01:13:18God bless.
01:13:20Ladies and gentlemen.
01:13:22Excuse me.
01:13:26Everything that you have just heard is a fairy tale.
01:13:33Fiction.
01:13:35A lie.
01:13:37Oh my goodness.
01:13:38Is that your billionaire husband?
01:13:39The mayor has been lying to you all.
01:13:40Pay no attention to this man.
01:13:41Security.
01:13:42Have him removed.
01:13:43Y'all pay no attention to this.
01:13:44There's nothing to see here.
01:13:45The firemen are the true heroes who saved this city.
01:13:47The mayor has time and time again tried to stop them.
01:13:57That is bull shit.
01:13:58Security.
01:13:59Do your jobs.
01:14:02No, no, no, let him speak.
01:14:04It's a free country.
01:14:05Yeah, let him talk.
01:14:06We want a statement.
01:14:07Yeah, let him talk.
01:14:08Yeah, let him talk.
01:14:11Mayor Deal, don't you.
01:14:16Mayor Davis, why are you afraid of this man?
01:14:18Are you hiding something?
01:14:20Of course not.
01:14:22She's afraid of me because she knows that I can tell you all right now what actually happened.
01:14:26And why should we listen to you?
01:14:30Because the fire suppressant that actually put out the fires was supplied by Moor Court.
01:14:35And I am the CEO of Moor Court.
01:14:40I am Christopher Moore.
01:14:42Well, he's not hiding his identity anymore.
01:14:45He's taking on the whole city.
01:14:48Instead of trying to put the fires out, the mayor and her collaborators were profiting off of them.
01:14:55I want to watch this live.
01:14:57You coming?
01:14:58No.
01:15:05Yes, hold on, Isabel.
01:15:10My company has been trying to assist the firefighters.
01:15:13He's the CEO of Moor Court?
01:15:16Why didn't you tell me, you dumbass?
01:15:18If we don't stop him, we're all screwed.
01:15:21Then do something to stop him.
01:15:22The mayor threatened us and time and time again tried to get in our way.
01:15:26That is not true.
01:15:29Look, I received a medal for all of my hard work in putting out those fires.
01:15:35I wouldn't have given myself this medal if I didn't deserve it.
01:15:39Mr. Moore, I think there's been a little misunderstanding.
01:15:42Can I speak to you privately?
01:15:44The mayor wanted me to remind you about the permission for the shopping mall.
01:15:52Oh, of course.
01:15:53That reminds me.
01:15:55Whitman!
01:15:56Let's play them that video we brought.
01:15:58Our fire suppressant didn't work.
01:16:07It made the fires worse.
01:16:10If the public finds out, we are screwed.
01:16:14Why are you hiding the truth from the citizens in your own city?
01:16:18Okay, this is a complete fabrication.
01:16:21I mean, look at that.
01:16:22It's an AIGC deepfake.
01:16:26I have something to say about that.
01:16:27I have something to say about that.
01:16:35No.
01:16:37No!
01:16:38This man has no business here.
01:16:40He was fired for dereliction of duty.
01:16:44Officers!
01:16:45Remove him!
01:16:50Are you going to stop me?
01:16:54No search.
01:16:55We'll clear the way.
01:16:58Everyone, get away for Chief Taylor and his men.
01:17:02They're heroes.
01:17:08They're heroes.
01:17:09Stop them!
01:17:10That's an order!
01:17:13Now, I've...
01:17:13You've got to stop by that.
01:17:14You guys can't come up here.
01:17:16This is...
01:17:17This is a violation.
01:17:19Don't you touch me!
01:17:23We want Chief Taylor reinstated.
01:17:26Yeah!
01:17:27That's right!
01:17:28Taylor!
01:17:28Taylor!
01:17:29Taylor!
01:17:29Taylor!
01:17:29Taylor!
01:17:30Taylor!
01:17:30Taylor!
01:17:31Taylor!
01:17:31Taylor!
01:17:32Taylor!
01:17:32Taylor!
01:17:33Taylor!
01:17:33Taylor!
01:17:34Shut up!
01:17:35All of you are fired!
01:17:39No!
01:17:40You can't do that!
01:17:41Let him speak!
01:17:45Stop touching me!
01:17:47Ladies and gentlemen, the reason I was dismissed is because I refused to use the mayor's defective
01:17:54fire suppressant.
01:17:55You can't prove that!
01:17:58Actually, I can.
01:18:00All the data is in these documents.
01:18:04They include sworn testimony from the pilots who were eyewitnesses.
01:18:10Mayor Davis, this is a huge scandal.
01:18:12You should resign.
01:18:14Get out of here!
01:18:15Go!
01:18:17No!
01:18:18Listen to me!
01:18:19Stop it!
01:18:20Stop it!
01:18:21Stop it!
01:18:22Stop it!
01:18:22Stop it!
01:18:24Stop it!
01:18:24Stop it!
01:18:25Stop it!
01:18:26Stop it!
01:18:27Stop it!
01:18:28Stop it!
01:18:32Before we wrap this up, I'd like to share something personal.
01:18:42Before we wrap this up, I'd like to share something personal with you all.
01:18:48Chief Taylor, if you don't mind.
01:18:50Go ahead.
01:18:51We've all lived through this horrible disaster.
01:18:57But in the midst of tragedy, sometimes you can find clarity, beauty, and even love.
01:19:04Even love.
01:19:05The catastrophe of these LA wildfires has brought much darkness.
01:19:11But it's also brought people together.
01:19:14It brought a woman with a beautiful heart into my life.
01:19:17And if I can take a moment of your time, I'd like to try to get a message to her.
01:19:24Margaret, I love you.
01:19:27It hurts to not be with you.
01:19:30I know I kept things from you, and that was not right.
01:19:34I don't expect you to forgive me.
01:19:36But if I'm being honest, you're the only person I'll ever love.
01:19:41LA is full of idols and superstars.
01:19:45But you, you're the only superstar I've ever wanted, or will ever want.
01:19:54The fires may be out now, but there's a fire in my heart that will never stop burning.
01:20:01It will burn forever, for you.
01:20:08So, if you can find it in your heart to forgive me, no matter how much time it takes, I will be waiting.
01:20:16I don't know where you are.
01:20:18But I hope, somehow, you've heard my message.
01:20:26I heard it.
01:20:31Margaret, last time you proposed to me.
01:20:36Now I'm proposing to you.
01:20:44Margaret, will you marry me and be my wife?
01:21:01Margaret, do you marry me and make me a friend of mine?
01:21:02Wayne, you're doing that melting thing again.
01:21:03And you're doing that melting thing again.
01:21:04I thought you were doing that.
01:21:05.
01:21:06You're doing that melting thing again.
01:21:07I thought you were doing that, I do.
01:21:08And you're doing that melting thing again.
01:21:25I thought you were doing it.
01:21:29Mom, that's not good.
01:21:32Christopher Moore is accusing you of embezzlement, money laundering, securities fraud.
01:21:36I will make his life a living hell.
01:21:41Michelle Davis, you're under arrest on 12 counts of corruption.
01:21:46Are you insane?
01:21:48You just committed career suicide.
01:21:51You're fired.
01:21:53You're on fire.
01:21:54Take your hands over her.
01:21:55She's the mayor.
01:21:55And you are under arrest for interfering with law enforcement.
01:22:00Let's go.
01:22:00Take them both.
01:22:01You have the right to remain silent.
01:22:03I fired you.
01:22:04You're going to regret this.
01:22:06Hurry up.
01:22:09We need to run.
01:22:10The police will be here soon.
01:22:11Why should I leave?
01:22:12I don't want to go anywhere.
01:22:14I've got three tickets to Venezuela.
01:22:16You get to sit by the window.
01:22:18We have to rebuild our lives there.
01:22:20Don't worry.
01:22:21I have plenty of cash.
01:22:23And I have a buyer lineup for the house.
01:22:25Apologies.
01:22:27But you can't sell something that's not rightfully yours.
01:22:31What the hell is going on here?
01:22:32You can't sell my mother's house because you acquired it illegally.
01:22:38Margaret.
01:22:40My daughter.
01:22:42I wasn't going to sell it.
01:22:43It belongs to you.
01:22:45Your mother's company.
01:22:46Her home.
01:22:47It's all yours.
01:22:49Chris.
01:22:52Mr. Moore.
01:22:54I'm your father-in-law.
01:22:56I'm almost 60.
01:22:57You don't want to put me away, do you?
01:23:00You know, you have a good point, Dad.
01:23:03Oh, wait.
01:23:04You asked me specifically to not call you that.
01:23:07You know, in fact, since the day that I met you, you've done nothing but tried to destroy
01:23:10your own daughter.
01:23:12You're paying for what you did, Dad.
01:23:14Hey, I...
01:23:16How dare you put your own father in jail?
01:23:21You are an ungrateful little bitch.
01:23:26Oh, no.
01:23:27I forgot.
01:23:28You can't leave the country until the trial's over.
01:23:31Oh, and by the way, your assets are frozen, so you can't stay at this hotel.
01:23:45But don't worry.
01:23:46We've made arrangements for you to stay at a different place.
01:23:50What other arrangements?
01:23:52You know that Motel 6 right around the corner?
01:23:55Ah!
01:23:55What?
01:23:56Oh, my God.
01:23:56No.
01:23:58No, no, no.
01:23:59No.
01:24:01Those cheating scumbags can't get their hands on this house ever again.
01:24:13I bet your mom was an amazing person.
01:24:16And I'm sure she loved you so much.
01:24:18She always wanted me to get married in her wedding dress.
01:24:21She'd say no matter where she was, she'd be able to feel it.
01:24:34Heart to heart.
01:24:35What do you think?
01:24:36I think you are so radiant that she can most certainly see your glow all the way from heaven.
01:24:44Well, if she is really looking down, then she'll be very glad to know that I found a much better man.
01:24:52And I bet she'd be so excited to know that I'm marrying a...
01:24:55A bloody letter?
01:24:57No.
01:24:58A fireman.
01:25:00What?
01:25:01Yes.
01:25:09Where are you from?
01:25:13Here we go.
01:25:13Here we go.
01:25:17Here we go.
