00:00:00Oh no!
00:00:12How dare you evade my home?
00:00:15It's my mother's home.
00:00:16She's dead.
00:00:17Your father signed the deed over to me and my daughter, Katelyn.
00:00:21So get the hell out!
00:00:22You need to get the hell out, Rubina! The house is on fire!
00:00:25You expect me to believe a stupid line like that?
00:00:29The house is on fire!
00:00:35Oh my god! The house is on fire!
00:00:38Katelyn! Katelyn!
00:00:44My mother's dress.
00:00:46I have to get it.
00:00:54Katelyn?
00:00:59Shit! What the fuck are you doing here?
00:01:02Excuse me? This is my room!
00:01:11Hey!
00:01:13What's up?
00:01:14Steel! You're fucking my sister!
00:01:16Step-sister! This is your fault!
00:01:19Poor Margaret!
00:01:20While you were busy dreaming about your wedding, I was here satisfying your fiancée.
00:01:26I just made him come three times on your bed.
00:01:28You are nothing but a social climbing, home-wrecking whore, just like your mom!
00:01:32Babe, are you okay?
00:01:33Uh-huh. Yeah.
00:01:34Margaret, you stupid fucking bitch!
00:01:39Let me be clear. You get married, you get your mom's business. Why else do you think I proposed to you?
00:01:52Oh my god! You were just using me to get to my mom's company? You lying scumbag! The wedding's off! I hope you burn in this fire!
00:02:12Fire!
00:02:13Fire? What fire?
00:02:15Fire! Fire!
00:02:16Ah! Fuck!
00:02:17No!
00:02:18No!
00:02:19No!
00:02:20We need to get out!
00:02:21We need to get out!
00:02:22We need to get out!
00:02:23Get out!
00:02:36This 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, I'll be there with you on your wedding day.
00:02:48Heart to heart.
00:02:49I promise, Mommy.
00:02:56I hope I might not get to wear this wedding dress.
00:03:01This is my fiancée, the cheating asshole.
00:03:06Oh my god. I gotta get out of here.
00:03:09I gotta get out of here.
00:03:10Boss!
00:03:11The private helicopter's on the way! They'll airlift you out!
00:03:24You take the airlift. I don't wanna go check out the neighbors.
00:03:26What? No! Boss! Come on! LA's an inferno! Everyone's in danger!
00:03:29Everyone's in danger. I know that's why I've got to stay goddamn wildfires
00:03:59It's still in there, whatever
00:04:14Oh no, oh no, wait someone has to help us. I can't lose my custom-built home
00:04:22Guys, you've got to evacuate and get out of here
00:04:30Evacuate! The minimal appraisal value is ten million
00:04:35Okay, clear out! Is someone still in there?
00:04:41Not just my stupid sister, who cares about her
00:04:43What's her name?
00:04:46Uh, Margaret, you can just call her loser
00:04:48Wait if you're going inside
00:04:50I have ten Hermes bags
00:04:52Birkin
00:04:54You have to take them, please
00:04:56Okay
00:04:56They're in my closet
00:05:00I think he might do it
00:05:02Margaret!
00:05:06Margaret, where are you?
00:05:09Can you hear me?
00:05:13Oh no
00:05:14Oh no
00:05:18Margaret, can you hear me?
00:05:37You're going to be okay
00:05:38Alright?
00:05:40I'm sorry
00:05:41Congrats on your wedding
00:05:47Belonged to my mom
00:05:49That's great
00:05:51Hey, hey, hey, hey
00:05:54Hold on to me, okay?
00:05:58Get out of here
00:05:59Where are my designer bags?
00:06:22You 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 this zip code
00:06:28If you all don't take her to safety
00:06:29You'll all be charged with attempted murder
00:06:31Uh, don't talk to me like that
00:06:33You cringy firefighter
00:06:35Take her to the hospital now
00:06:36Ridiculous
00:06:38Fine
00:06:39You take her
00:06:40Stop touching her
00:06:44Then how am I supposed to carry her?
00:06:47I don't know
00:06:48You canceled the engagement
00:07:03Are you out of your mind?
00:07:07Are you out of your mind?
00:07:09I almost die in a fire
00:07:10And that's all you have to say to me?
00:07:12His mother is mayor of this whole city
00:07:13She can open doors with a wave of her hand
00:07:15I 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
00:07:25Tell her to watch what she sticks between her legs
00:07:28Don't you dare talk to me like that
00:07:30I should have let you die in that house
00:07:32So 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
00:07:38You're gonna marry Steele
00:07:40And you're gonna make him happy
00:07:42No
00:07:43I'm not a tramp who sells my body to men for money
00:07:46That's more Caitlyn style
00:07:48You know what?
00:07:54Dad
00:07:55You can climb into bed with the Wicked Witch of the West
00:07:57Every night
00:07:58That's your business
00:08:00But I will not sleep with some slimy ass bottom feeder
00:08:03To make you happy
00:08:04Well then you can kiss your inheritance goodbye
00:08:07I guess I'll be taking over your mother's company
00:08:09She 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
00:08:18You can't even get out of bed
00:08:20Oh gosh, Ravina
00:08:25It looks like I can get out of bed after all
00:08:29And you can't stop me
00:08:33Are you high?
00:08:36Where the hell do you think you're going?
00:08:37To find a husband
00:08:39To find a husband
00:08:43And I know just where to find him
00:08:52Stop right now, young lady
00:08:56Stop her
00:08:57A $50 million donation
00:09:04This is a godsend
00:09:06Look man

00:09:10I was just happy I could help
00:09:11Well, I appreciate it

00:09:51No
00:09:53Not you either
00:09:54No

00:10:30It's me
00:10:32Margaret
00:10:33I know I'm silly
00:10:36I shouldn't have come here
00:10:37I just
00:10:37I have nowhere else to go
00:10:40No one to trust
00:10:41I lost everything that I had
00:10:43Hey
00:10:45It's okay
00:10:47You're safe now
00:10:48You say you were
00:10:51Margaret
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
00:11:42First, in the future when we do that
00:11:44Your hugs don't have to be so delicate
00:11:47I'm not breakable
00:11:48Agreed?
00:11:50Yeah, sure
00:11:51And my second request is
00:11:53Marry me
00:11:55What?
00:11:57I'll explain all the details later
00:11:58But we gotta go right now
00:11:59Hey, if he doesn't want to
00:12:02I'm available
00:12:03Yeah, me too
00:12:04I'm here all day
00:12:05When it comes to hot women
00:12:06Nobody handles them like firemen
00:12:08We're specialists
00:12:10We're specialists
00:12:10Whoa
00:12:10Easy
00:12:11Down, down, boys
00:12:13Did 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
00:12:25By the way
00:12:27How do you feel about kids?
00:12:29I feel great about kids
00:12:31When I was a little girl
00:12:34My mom always told me
00:12:35To always wear nice pajamas to bed
00:12:37You know why?
00:12:38Why?
00:12:39In case of an emergency
00:12:40If a fireman came in
00:12:42She said
00:12:43You never know
00:12:44One day he might become your husband
00:12:46I'm Marry
00:12:47I'm sorry I haven't had the chance
00:12:49To tell you this yet
00:12:50But
00:12:50I'm not actually a firefighter
00:12:52I just happened to be there
00:12:53And was able to help
00:12:54That day
00:12:55But
00:12:59You saved my life
00:13:01And my mother's dress
00:13:03And that meant a lot to me

00:14:49While you sleep

00:14:51On the
00:14:52Eiderdown
00:14:53Savoir

00:14:59Are you delusional
00:15:02Every decent hotel

00:15:06How about you
00:15:08Go get yourself a room
00:15:09At the Motel 6
00:15:10What?
00:15:11Noah
00:15:11Honey
00:15:13Can I stay at your place?
00:15:17Look
00:15:17Either we solve this
00:15:19With Margaret
00:15:19Or we're gonna leave
00:15:20No, no, no, no
00:15:22We'll fix it
00:15:23She will marry you
00:15:24Excuse her
00:15:25She's still
00:15:25A little out of sorts
00:15:27After the whole
00:15:27City burning
00:15:29Down thing
00:15:30Well, she's gonna have
00:15:31To come crawling
00:15:31Back to me
00:15:32On her knees
00:15:34Too bad
00:15:34You couldn't choose
00:15:35Caitlin instead
00:15:36No, Ravine
00:15:37This is a business
00:15:38Transaction
00:15:39Steel marries Margaret
00:15:40Then becomes CEO
00:15:42Of Foster Incorporated
00:15:44My ex-wife's
00:15:45Business
00:15:46That's the perfect
00:15:47Arrangement
00:15:48Because Margaret
00:15:49Supplies Steel
00:15:50With the money
00:15:50Yeah
00:15:51And Caitlin
00:15:52Supplies him
00:15:53With
00:15:53Other benefits
00:15:55They're like a tag team
00:15:57A tag team?
00:15:59Let's get this clear
00:16:07Once and for all
00:16:08None of you are
00:16:09Ever
00:16:10Getting your hands
00:16:11On my mother's money
00:16:12Ever
00:16:12Not you
00:16:14Not my sleazy
00:16:15Ass for sale
00:16:16Stepsister
00:16:17Not this cheating
00:16:18Man whore
00:16:19And not
00:16:19Whoever the hell
00:16:21You are
00:16:21For your information
00:16:30I'm the mayor
00:16:32Of this city
00:16:33And you just called
00:16:34My son
00:16:35A man whore
00:16:36You will apologize
00:16:39Now
00:16:40On your knees
00:16:42Or I will crush you
00:16:46No
00:16:48I don't get on my knees
00:16:49That's Caitlin's specialty
00:16:52But I am so sorry
00:16:54That I called your son
00:16:55A man whore
00:16:55I should have called him
00:16:57A wannabe man whore
00:16:58Because he only has
00:17:00One pitiful pickup line
00:17:01My mother's the mayor
00:17:03A mayor
00:17:05Who let the reservoirs
00:17:06Get so dry
00:17:07That the whole city
00:17:08Could burn
00:17:08You want me to apologize
00:17:10You should be apologizing
00:17:12To the people of this city
00:17:13One more word
00:17:15Sit down and shut it
00:17:18You will be a humble
00:17:20Obedient
00:17:22Respectful wife
00:17:23Or you will never
00:17:24Inherit that company
00:17:26I'm afraid I can't
00:17:29Mary Steele
00:17:30Don't you know that
00:17:31Polygamy is illegal
00:17:32In California
00:17:33A woman can't have
00:17:34Two husbands
00:17:35What
00:17:35Are you talking about
00:17:37Well
00:17:39You see
00:17:40I'm already married
00:17:42My paper beats your paper
00:17:48What did you do?
00:17:50Grab some homeless guy
00:17:51To marry?
00:17:55Everyone knows
00:17:57You were engaged
00:17:58To the mayor's son
00:17:59How dare you
00:18:00Embarrass
00:18:01The mayor publicly
00:18:03You were a liability
00:18:04To this company
00:18:04And you'll be replaced
00:18:05As a CEO
00:18:06By me
00:18:07I am the new CEO
00:18:08That is not
00:18:11Gonna happen
00:18:12I'll catch up with you guys
00:18:18In a little bit
00:18:18I feel clear out of my room
00:18:19Boss
00:18:21You married a girl
00:18:22You don't even know
00:18:23What were you thinking?
00:18:29Whitman
00:18:30Sometimes in life
00:18:32You crunch the numbers
00:18:33You crunch the numbers
00:18:33And read the market
00:18:34And leverage your assets
00:18:36And then there's other times
00:18:39You just listen to your heart
00:18:40This is one of those times
00:18:43There's my wife right now
00:18:48Margaret
00:18:52You're done
00:18:54Who's that creep
00:18:56That's threatening her?
00:18:57That's Jackson Foster
00:18:58Your father-in-law
00:19:00I did some research
00:19:01Step ahead of you, boss
00:19:02Well
00:19:03I'm gonna put an end to this
00:19:04Anyone 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?
00:19:16I'm Margaret's husband
00:19:18His dad
00:19:19Is 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
00:19:29How pathetic
00:19:31How much does he make a year?
00:19:34Like
00:19:3430,000 after taxes?
00:19:37You really lowered yourself, Margaret
00:19:39A fireman?
00:19:43What's wrong with being a fireman?
00:19:47Poor
00:19:48Stinky
00:19:50These men save your lives
00:19:52And you bitches point your noses down at them?
00:19:55They're saving this city
00:19:56Because she was too inept to do it
00:19:59Keep it up
00:20:00And I'll wipe that ugly look off of your face permanently
00:20:04You know who I am
00:20:07Move 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
00:20:19Miss do-nothing mayor
00:20:22Why are you here sitting in a hotel lobby blabbing
00:20:25While the whole city is burning down?
00:20:27Who are you to challenge me?
00:20:30I can fire all of you
00:20:32Hey guys
00:20:35We're being fired
00:20:36Oh wait a minute
00:20:38You're not our chief
00:20:39So you can't fire us
00:20:41That's it
00:20:42We're done talking to you idiots
00:20:43As for you
00:20:44You're gonna dump this pathetic loser
00:20:46And you're coming home with me
00:20:47Touch her again
00:20:50And I will drop you where you stand
00:20:52You and what army?
00:20:55This army
00:20:56You owe us an apology
00:20:58All of you
00:20:59Apologize
00:21:01Now
00:21:03Oh
00:21:04Poor fireman
00:21:06I'm so sorry
00:21:08Sorry about to get your asses kicked out of here
00:21:11Security
00:21:13Good move
00:21:18Madam Mayor
00:21:19And when this whole city burns down
00:21:21How are you going to explain to your people
00:21:22That you fired the firefighters that were trying to protect it?
00:21:26This is breaking news
00:21:27It seems the mayor is firing a team of firefighters
00:21:30Madam Mayor
00:21:31Do you have a comment?
00:21:33I would never do that
00:21:35L.A. firefighters are our true heroes
00:21:38I'm here to support them
00:21:40That is very lovely
00:21:43By the way
00:21:44Why are you here in a luxury hotel
00:21:46When the entire city is on fire?
00:21:49She was cutting a deal for a corporate takeover
00:21:51With a rich ass CEO
00:21:52Rich ass CEO?
00:21:56Madam Mayor
00:21:57Is that true?
00:21:58And do you have a comment?
00:22:00As I said
00:22:01I am here
00:22:03To support these brave men
00:22:05Go firefighters
00:22:08You know
00:22:09Many people are criticizing
00:22:11Your complete and utter incompetence
00:22:13In the handling of the wildfires
00:22:15In fact
00:22:16People are pointing out
00:22:17The fact that you cut
00:22:1817.5 million dollars
00:22:20From the fire department's budget
00:22:22Right as the wildfires were starting
00:22:24What is your response?
00:22:25I have no comment
00:22:33No comment
00:22:36You know
00:22:40Not all rich CEOs are assholes
00:22:43Believe me
00:22:44They're all aggressive narcissists
00:22:46I've seen way too many of them
00:22:47That's why I just want a regular guy like you
00:22:50Okay
00:22:51I don't think she's gonna like me
00:22:52If I tell her who I am
00:22:53So hey
00:22:54So
00:22:55How much did she pay you to be her fake husband?
00:22:59Oh like
00:22:59A hundred bucks a day
00:23:01Boy you've really gotten desperate huh?
00:23:04Hiring some nobody
00:23:05To pretend to be your husband
00:23:07Just to cheat us
00:23:08Just so you could
00:23:09Comply to the will
00:23:11And take over the company
00:23:12That's very clever
00:23:14How many times do I have to tell you
00:23:17That this is my mother's company
00:23:19So it belongs to me?
00:23:21You'll never pull it off
00:23:22Let's go
00:23:24Chris
00:23:30Thank you for standing by me
00:23:32You married me for a business deal
00:23:34And didn't tell me?
00:23:37It
00:23:37It wasn't for a business deal
00:23:40It was a lawyer thing
00:23:41I
00:23:42I had to get married by next week
00:23:44Or else I wouldn't have been able to
00:23:45Inherit my mother's company
00:23:46But
00:23:46It
00:23:47I'm such
00:23:49An idiot
00:23:50What?
00:23:54It wasn't a fake marriage
00:23:56Don't go
00:23:58He's a fireman
00:24:01That 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
00:24:09And you saved her life
00:24:11That's a pretty good start
00:24:12So
00:24:13He saved her life
00:24:15And then you told him
00:24:15You needed a husband
00:24:16For the inheritance
00:24:17And then he said
00:24:18Actually I didn't tell him
00:24:20That
00:24:21Yeah but I didn't hear that from her
00:24:23I'm sure she was planning to
00:24:25But there was a lot going on
00:24:27You know
00:24:27I almost died in a fire
00:24:29And then
00:24:29And then I escaped the hospital
00:24:31And the next thing you know
00:24:31I'm kissing a guy
00:24:32Oh my god no
00:24:33And he kissed you back?
00:24:34Well no
00:24:35I mean
00:24:35It was more than a kiss
00:24:36I mean
00:24:37It was like
00:24:37It was melting into him
00:24:38She makes me feel like
00:24:41She's melting into me
00:24:42I've never had anybody
00:24:44Make me feel that way before
00:24:45But then to find out
00:24:47That she wasn't being honest with me
00:24:48You can still fix this Margaret
00:24:50Go talk to him
00:24:52No
00:24:53Talk 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
00:25:01That I am not a firefighter
00:25:03But was just to help her
00:25:04Well what about the fact
00:25:06That you're the CEO
00:25:06Of the Fortune 500 company
00:25:08With the net worth
00:25:08Of like one point
00:25:09Yeah
00:25:09I didn't tell her that part
00:25:11Alright
00:25:12What if I talk to him
00:25:13And he just shuts me out?
00:25:15She's afraid you'll shut her out
00:25:16Do you want to shut her out?
00:25:18Really?
00:25:19What do you really want?
00:25:21Margaret
00:25:21This is one of those moments in life
00:25:23Where it's do or die
00:25:24You need to open up to him
00:25:38Thank you guys
00:25:42I appreciate it
00:25:43Let's do our part
00:25:45Boss
00:25:46Boss
00:25:47Boss
00:25:48Hi
00:25:48Hi Chris
00:26:06I know you're busy with the fires
00:26:11Hi
00:26:12Margaret
00:26:14I have something I need to tell you
00:26:15Now 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
00:26:28But
00:26:28I needed you to know that I'm sorry
00:26:31Wait
00:26:45How did you find me?
00:26:49I was just driving around
00:26:51I figured you'd be near the fires
00:26:53Do not do that again
00:26:54I
00:26:55Just stay away
00:26:57Okay?
00:27:01If you want to contact me
00:27:08Call me
00:27:09And tell me where to meet you
00:27:10But please let it be a 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
00:27:17It's far too dangerous
00:27:19Right
00:27:20I'll be more careful next time
00:27:22Will there be a next time?
00:27:27Listen
00:27:27I didn't exactly tell you everything about me either
00:27:31Okay?
00:27:31Wow
00:27:32You were so mad that you took your ring off, huh?
00:27:36But when I saw you
00:27:38In that fire
00:27:39And then afterwards
00:27:41And you kissed me
00:27:44Okay, wait
00:27:44Let's get one thing clear
00:27:46I don't just go around kissing strange guys, okay?
00:27:48I know
00:27:49Of course
00:27:50Of course not
00:27:51It was a
00:27:52Special
00:27:53Circumstance
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
00:28:00My 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
00:28:28It just happens
00:28:29It's never happened to me before
00:28:31But
00:28:31It only happens when I'm with you
00:28:33We were talking about something
00:28:54What was that again?
00:28:55Uh-huh
00:28:56Money
00:28:57Right
00:28:59Money
00:29:00Oh my god
00:29:00Who cares about money?
00:29:01I don't care if you're poor
00:29:02Or
00:29:03Or
00:29:03Or in debt
00:29:04Or 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
00:29:09My father
00:29:10Is one
00:29:11And my stepmother
00:29:12And you've seen them
00:29:13They're like a cross between
00:29:13Rita Repulsive and
00:29:15Mr. Krabs
00:29:16Okay, but
00:29:17You don't think every rich person is like that
00:29:19Right?
00:29:20Look
00:29:21Let's just leave it at this
00:29:22You don't have money
00:29:23And
00:29:23So what?
00:29:25I don't need all the details
00:29:26Are you sure?
00:29:28You're not gonna
00:29:28Abandon me
00:29:30Because I'm
00:29:30Poor?
00:29:32You are the most handsome
00:29:34Smartest man that I have ever met
00:29:37I will never abandon you
00:29:39Let's just
00:29:41They will be totally honest with each other from now on
00:29:45Premise?
00:29:56What's next?
00:30:02Here's your new home
00:30:06My husband
00:30:07I am a lucky guy
00:30:09Come on in
00:30:11Sorry about the space
00:30:23My company's struggling a little bit
00:30:24So
00:30:25It's a bit modest
00:30:26But
00:30:26No, don't
00:30:27Stop it, stop it
00:30:32I'm sorry
00:30:39I could fix your pipes for you
00:30:42So that doesn't explode
00:30:44Again
00:30:45Sure, of course
00:30:46This should be a problem
00:30:52Thank you
00:30:55He's so hot
00:31:02Should be all good
00:31:12So
00:31:16So
00:31:19I'll see you
00:31:38I see you
00:31:46Sorry, I've gotta take it. It's work. I know. This better be important. That's a big move.
00:32:06I'll see what I can do. I'm so sorry. I've got to go to work.
00:32:11What?
00:32:12I know.
00:32:13Chris, what is it you actually do for a living?
00:32:23So you're making a fire suppressant because you work for Moor Corp?
00:32:28Kind of.
00:32:28That's so cool. And it's going to stop the wildfires?
00:32:31We hope so.
00:32:35My team, our team, has been making some progress this week, but we're supposed to roll it out this weekend, so...
00:32:43There's not much time.
00:32:45Jeez. 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.
00:32:57It's new, but it's nice.
00:33:03I'm so sorry.
00:33:05There's a lot of time.
00:33:12Here's what we're doing together.
00:33:16You should carefully.
00:33:16Thanks, thanks, guys.
00:33:22You should be Athletic.
00:33:24Guys, you should have missed.
00:33:25Lithiax so I don't smoke themselves.
00:33:26I don't know what you want to do.
00:33:29That's great.
00:33:30Oh, uh, yeah.
00:34:01I'll be right there.
00:34:17Something wrong?
00:34:18What happened?
00:34:20What happened is...
00:34:22We did it.
00:34:25Oh!
00:34:30We did it.
00:34:31It worked.
00:34:34Margaret, this is going to save lives.
00:34:38Oh.
00:34:40Shoot.
00:34:41I have to go meet with the fire captain.
00:34:42This is the big test.
00:34:43We have to prove the suppression works.
00:34:45I'll see you later.
00:34:46Okay.
00:34:54Yes!
00:34:55The fires are going out.
00:34:57We are kicking this fire's ass.
00:34:59I mean, this is a breakthrough in science.
00:35:02We are making history, my friend.
00:35:04All right, guys.
00:35:06Grab every container we got.
00:35:08Bambi buckets, tsunami tanks.
00:35:10Get them filled and airborne.
00:35:12We're 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.
00:35:35We just tested a fire suppressant from Moore Corp.
00:35:38It's superior to that crap you've been sending us.
00:35:40L.A. is burning.
00:35:42We 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?
00:35:49How 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.
00:35:58Load my fire suppressant or you're fired.
00:36:01Good.
00:36:02Fire.
00:36:03Because I will not be responsible for your disaster.
00:36:06Your wish is granted.
00:36:09You're fired.
00:36:09This is the end of Chief Taylor.
00:36:15No.
00:36:16I think this is the end of Mayor Davis.
00:36:19Remember I said it.
00:36:21Get out of here and take this piece of trash with you.
00:36:31Okay.
00:36:32Our deal has changed.
00:36:34One third is not enough.
00:36:37I want a two third cut.
00:36:38I need to make some money off of this thing.
00:36:41Don't you look so glum?
00:36:43I'm going to make you CEO of Foster, Inc.
00:36:47I got a new plan.
00:36:50Come on.
00:36:51The door won't open itself.
00:36:59Congratulations on your victory.
00:37:01I'm so proud of you.
00:37:02Almost victory.
00:37:05The mayor shut us down.
00:37:06She's been colluding.
00:37:08With your dad.
00:37:10We're finished.
00:37:12She'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.
00:37:20Once 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.
00:37:31I'm going to work for tomorrow.
00:37:32I'm going to work for tomorrow.
00:37:34Copy that.
00:37:38Great.
00:37:38My biological father is about to ambush me.
00:37:41So it seems like we have a common enemy.
00:37:45And?
00:37:46And I'd like to do you the favor of destroying him.
00:37:49How?
00:37:51Do you want me to put you on the board of directors?
00:37:53No, no.
00:37:55I want to be your assistant.
00:37:57What?
00:37:58I'm going to be your boss?
00:38:01Mm-hmm.
00:38:02I've got an idea.
00:38:03Okay.
00:38:11Alright, let's make this fast.
00:38:13Margaret cannot be the CEO of this company.
00:38:15I 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?
00:38:23Don't be dense.
00:38:24Margaret 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.
00:38:34She is fully authorized.
00:38:37What the hell?
00:38:38Not you again.
00:38:39This is a board meeting.
00:38:41Only for employees of Foster Incorporated.
00:38:44Right.
00:38:44Well, why don't you all help me welcome our newest employee?
00:38:48I put Chris on the payroll this morning.
00:38:50He's my new personal assistant.
00:38:53That's true.
00:38:54Assistant of what?
00:38:56Cleaning toilets?
00:38:58Oh, 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 I can tell you, it covers our first point today on our agenda.
00:39:12Section 12.3.C.
00:39:15Margaret Foster will inherit Foster, Inc.
00:39:18So long as she is married by the designated date.
00:39:22So, this means that Margaret is now the owner of Foster Incorporated.
00:39:28From now on, you all will call her Madam CEO.
00:39:33No.
00:39:35When are you going to get me one of those?
00:39:36When you hear some class, don't pal.
00:39:39We're going to take him out right now.
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.
00:39:55Me.
00:39:56And my brilliant new man.
00:39:59Steel can turn this company around like that.
00:40:02Tell 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.
00:40:12100%.
00:40:12The mayor herself.
00:40:16That's exactly what we need.
00:40:17I 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.
00:40:53In only one month.
00:40:55Oh, thanks.
00:40:58Ah, 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.
00:41:11He's crazy.
00:41:12We can't make that kind of promise.
00:41:14It's impossible.
00:41:15Margaret, follow my lead.
00:41:18Okay?
00:41:19This 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.
00:41:48Yeah, that's bullshit.
00:41:50Moore Corporation 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?
00:42:05Margaret, you have one month to deliver Moore Corp.
00:42:09And make this company's revenue, what, tenfold you said?
00:42:12One month.
00:42:14Or else the will is null and void.
00:42:17And you disappear forever.
00:42:23Agreed.
00:42:24That's right.
00:42:26Oh, 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.
00:42:37Got it.
00:42:46Chris, you can't make up stories like this.
00:42:49God, I'm going to lose my mother's company.
00:42:53Why did you tell them that they scheduled a meeting?
00:42:56Because I did.
00:42:57More Corp is expecting you tomorrow.
00:43:02They are?
00:43:03You'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, almost.
00:43:16Calm down.
00:43:29We're not going to let your daughter beat you.
00:43:31There's no way she can beat me.
00:43:33More Corp will never work with a nobody like her, right?
00:43:37Or 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.
00:44:00Either Mr. Moore does what I tell him to do, or I'll shut down his operations in the city.
00:44:07That'd be a multi-billion dollar loss for him.
00:44:11Christopher Moore guy, he's a real mystery man.
00:44:18No public appearances.
00:44:20And 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.
00:44:33I'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.
00:44:53This PowerPoint isn't quite ready yet, I don't think.
00:44:59You need to grab their attention right away.
00:45:01And the flowery writing, it's a business medium, not a poetry club.
00:45:09I mean, have you heard of Bullet Boys?
00:45:12Okay, alright, alright.
00:45:14Well, why don't you show me what you would do?
00:45:16Okay.
00:45:17The presentation.
00:45:19I like the pink.
00:45:23I don't think they're going to like me very much.
00:45:27The CEO loves you.
00:45:29The CEO of Moor Corp?
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?
00:45:46I'm just a nobody.
00:45:48You're not a nobody, you're my husband.
00:45:50He's great.
00:45:58It'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.
00:46:03It's okay.
00:46:05What?
00:46:07Today, we are going to be talking about...
00:46:14Do 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.
00:46:40Good morning, boss.
00:46:42I 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.
00:47:08Do you feel ready?
00:47:09I think so.
00:47:10Hi.
00:47:11I need to just say what meeting do you have for my wife?
00:47:16We have an agreement to sign.
00:47:18She still doesn't know who you are?
00:47:21Copy that and I'll set up the meeting now.
00:47:24Oh, and the mayor wants to meet you.
00:47:26Of course she does.
00:47:27She's in the office now.
00:47:29What a surprise.
00:47:30Surprise!
00:47:31What's a surprise?
00:47:32Uh...
00:47:35Surprise!
00:47:36What's a surprise?
00:47:37Uh, someone else wants a meeting, but they are just going to have to wait.
00:47:41We 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.
00:47:57I 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?
00:48:07You are just a useless office girl.
00:48:12Now, tell Mr. Moore that I insist...
00:48:16Good morning, Mr. Moore.
00:48:21That's him.
00:48:22Oh, my God.
00:48:23Can you believe they let common street trash in a beautiful building like this?
00:48:39Excuse me, why did you call him Mr. Moore?
00:48:42Oh, no, no.
00:48:48No, no.
00:48:49I was just saying, Mr. There's Moore.
00:48:52Like, more mints in the waiting room.
00:48:55What is with the mints here?
00:48:57We've got really good mints.
00:48:58Don't worry about it.
00:48:59Okay, I might have underestimated you, okay?
00:49:01But don't you get delusional.
00:49:03Whoever you're meeting has to be a low-level lackey.
00:49:06Let's get real.
00:49:07The mayor and I are meeting the CEO.
00:49:10Stall them.
00:49:11Which means you have zero chance of ever beating me.
00:49:17Got it.
00:49:18Uh, Mr. Moore is on his way.
00:49:22Do you mind waiting here just a bit longer?
00:49:25Sorry your meeting got delayed.
00:49:27Well, mine is right on the dot.
00:49:29You see, my husband and I made a presentation together.
00:49:32It's very professional.
00:49:33I think Moore Corp is really gonna like it.
00:49:35Shh.
00:49:38I'm taking three.
00:49:40You're meant to be.
00:49:45How dare she?
00:49:46How dare she?
00:49:47Fine.
00:49:49We wait.
00:49:50But he better be here soon.
00:49:53I mean, of course.
00:49:54After all, you're the mayor.
00:49:57Um, 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.
00:50:17Congratulations.
00:50:18He still isn't here?
00:50:19This is outrageous!
00:50:20Mr. Moore is on the way, but you know, LA traffic plus the fires make it even worse.
00:50:38Excuse me.
00:50:46Sorry 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.
00:50:54Congratulations, Ms. Foster.
00:50:55Of course.
00:50:56Yeah, okay.
00:50:57Quit playing games.
00:50:58You didn't sign any contract.
00:51:00Well, unfortunately for you, I did.
00:51:03And it's for a hundred million dollar deal.
00:51:06Bullshit.
00:51:11About that.
00:51:12Looks like I will be the CEO of Foster Inc after all.
00:51:17You must be so proud of your daughter, Dad.
00:51:21Call me that!
00:51:23I will not let you do this.
00:51:26By the way, what are your friends showing up?
00:51:28Three, two, one.
00:51:31Madam Mayor!
00:51:32What do you have to say about the new fires that just broke out?
00:51:34Oh no!
00:51:35Not again!
00:51:36You'll have to schedule an interview with my press team.
00:51:37I don't have time for this right now.
00:51:38Well, it looks like you have plenty of time.
00:51:40Tell us, why aren't you out there stopping the fires?
00:51:41What do you have to say?
00:51:42It is completely unfair that you are judging me.
00:51:43I am working every minute on this.
00:51:44But you rejected Moor Corp's fire suppressant.
00:51:45And you made a deal with Mr. Foster.
00:51:46I had my reasons.
00:51:47And what were they?
00:51:48Personal profits?
00:51:49Stock options?
00:51:50What?
00:51:51Oh, Mr. Foster, it's you.
00:51:53Oh, Mr. Foster, it's you.
00:51:55Oh, Mr. Foster, it's me.
00:51:56Oh, Mr. Foster, it's me.
00:51:57I don't have time for this right now.
00:51:58Well, it looks like you have plenty of time.
00:51:59Tell us, why aren't you out there stopping the fires?
00:52:01What do you have to say?
00:52:02It is completely unfair that you are judging me.
00:52:04I am working every minute on this.
00:52:06But you rejected Moor Corp's fire suppressant.
00:52:08And you made a deal with Mr. Foster.
00:52:10I had my reasons.
00:52:11And what were they?
00:52:12Personal profits?
00:52:13Stock options?
00:52:15Oh, 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.
00:52:25That is complete nonsense.
00:52:27Complete nonsense, that is.
00:52:30This is a witch hunt.
00:52:32Madam Mayor, just one more.
00:52:33Ask her why she canned the fire chief while her son is collecting millions as a paid consultant for city contractors.
00:52:41So much corruption, so little time.
00:52:44Let's go.
00:52:45Yeah, right now.
00:52:46Let's go.
00:52:47Madam Mayor, just one more.
00:52:48For the people.
00:52:49Last 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.
00:53:03One of our eyewitness team members has found a secret ledger showing the city is paying triple for the fire suppressant.
00:53:09You know, you were perfect in today's meeting.
00:53:14Yeah, but the CEO, Mr. Moore, didn't show up.
00:53:18I wonder what he's like.
00:53:19Probably just some rich a-hole.
00:53:25That's what you said.
00:53:26Remember?
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.
00:53:36You know?
00:53:37He, uh, might try to steal you from me.
00:53:41Oh, that is not gonna happen.
00:53:43I felt you supporting me today, Chris.
00:53:48All day.
00:53:50I haven't felt that support since my mom passed away.
00:53:53I'm sorry you had to go through that.
00:53:55I know it must have been a very dark time.
00:53:58She was my rock.
00:54:00I can be the rock of your life now.
00:54:05I want to be the person you lean on when you need it.
00:54:08You know, sometimes I just want to rip your clothes off and drag you to bed.
00:54:13And other times I just want to get closer and feel your heart beating next to mine.
00:54:27My heart is racing.
00:54:29For you.
00:54:38I saw you cross the road.
00:54:40Yeah.
00:54:41Going in the moonlight.
00:54:42I don't know where you've been.
00:54:44But I'm glad that you're here.
00:54:47When I take you by the hand.
00:54:49Reason to answer.
00:54:52Girl, it's our time.
00:54:55Just you and I.
00:54:57Don't, I don't hide.
00:55:01No.
00:55:02I'll do it right.
00:55:04We got all night.
00:55:06I'll take you so high.
00:55:11Yeah.
00:55:12Baby, let me love you.
00:55:14Let me love you.
00:55:16Baby, let me love you.
00:55:25You killed it, Margaret.
00:55:26You're a rock star.
00:55:28We're with you, Margaret.
00:55:30Always.
00:55:31You see?
00:55:32Everyone's with you now.
00:55:33No one supports you now.
00:55:35Because this is a bogus agreement.
00:55:38It's a publicity stunt.
00:55:40You guys just see?
00:55:41Like anyone's gonna give her a hundred million dollars.
00:55:45Oh my gosh.
00:55:46Put me through to finance.
00:56:01We need to make a bank transfer.
00:56:03Once they find out that my surprise is better than more companies.
00:56:07They're gonna cut Margaret off like that.
00:56:13Oh, so uh, who you supported now?
00:56:21Are you sure Amoral Corp is not going to pay us?
00:56:29Are you sure Amoral Corp is not going to pay us?
00:56:31No.
00:56:34A hundred percent.
00:56:35Why would they shell out cash to someone like that?
00:56:38Because a down payment of 30 million dollars just landed in our corporate account.
00:56:45From War Corp.
00:56:47Oh, wrong again, Dad.
00:56:50Seems like you're making a real hammer out of that.
00:56:54Just you wait.
00:56:55Once they see that my surprise is superior,
00:56:58all of this
00:57:00will be all gone.
00:57:03Margaret, we want you to know that we support you and we've been on your side all along.
00:57:08Yes.
00:57:10I greatly appreciate that.
00:57:14Seems like we have some big things to do.
00:57:20Today's the day that we prove our suppression is superior once and for all.
00:57:26And get those stupid reporters off our backs.
00:57:29And as the new fire chief, you know what your job is, right?
00:57:34Fight the fires?
00:57:37No.
00:57:39Make sure you follow my commands.
00:57:45It's them.
00:57:46How did you know they were going to be here?
00:57:50Are you some kind of spy?
00:57:55Are you some kind of spy?
00:57:57Hey, I'm just a regular guy.
00:58:00That's what you said.
00:58:01That's why you like me.
00:58:03Remember?
00:58:04Well, for a regular guy, you sure do have a lot of inside information.
00:58:07I just know they ordered a chopper today.
00:58:09Off record.
00:58:10And I want to know why.
00:58:12There it is.
00:58:13Oh, the fires are getting worse. Holy shit.
00:58:28Oh.
00:58:30No.
00:58:32That's not fire suppressant.
00:58:34It's more like fire starter.
00:58:36Call the chopper and tell him to stop dropping it.
00:58:39Oh my god.
00:58:40It's too late.
00:58:43The payloads have all been dropped.
00:58:45Good 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.
00:58:53Oh.
00:58:55No, but how do half force like this get control of the city?
00:58:59We've got to do something about this.
00:59:01No.
00:59:02I'll fix it with you now, but first I've got to get you to safety. Come on.
00:59:05Okay.
00:59:06Come on.
00:59:07Okay, great.
00:59:11For now, I just want you to stay here and be careful.
00:59:14You need to be careful too, Chris.
00:59:16You're not fireproof, you know.
00:59:20What are you doing here?
00:59:22A step ahead of you.
00:59:23Thought 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.
00:59:34He is.
00:59:35But the thing is...
00:59:37As your manager, I have to look after my employees.
00:59:42Why, I might even give you a raise next year, Chris.
00:59:45Girl.
00:59:48Just stay here.
00:59:50Keep a watch on the fire alerts, okay?
00:59:53I will call my people, our people, to protect you.
01:00:00Tomorrow.
01:00:04Call Caps on fire and have them come to Margaret's house immediately.
01:00:07Really?
01:00:08You didn't even do that for your own house, which is worth like a hundred million dollars.
01:00:11Just do it, okay?
01:00:13Okay.
01:00:14I'm only saying her house is worth like half a million.
01:00:17The cost of the service is probably...
01:00:19It's not always about money, Whitman.
01:00:22Okay. Call them right now.
01:00:24You're paying the bill.
01:00:26It's gonna be an expensive call.
01:00:36Fire Protection Service.
01:00:39Where'd they come from?
01:00:40You screwed this up!
01:00:41I could bankrupt you like that!
01:00:42Hold on.
01:00:43I know how to fix all of this with just two words.
01:00:44More, Corb.
01:00:45Okay?
01:00:46We buy all their fire suppressant.
01:00:47You know, very hush-hush.
01:00:48And then you get all the credit for it.
01:00:49How?
01:00:50They blocked our calls.
01:00:51We can't get to them.
01:00:52Yeah, we can't.
01:00:53But Margaret can.
01:00:57And she is still my daughter.
01:00:59My critics are politically motivated.
01:01:00We have the fires completely under control.
01:01:02This is bullshit.
01:01:03I grew up in Los Angeles.
01:01:04I played in these parks and in these playgrounds.
01:01:05I played in these parks and in these playgrounds.
01:01:06This is bullshit.
01:01:07This is bullshit.
01:01:08I grew up in Los Angeles.
01:01:09I played in these parks and in these playgrounds.
01:01:10Now I have to watch it all burn down because I'm not all I can't see myself.
01:01:12This is a terrible crime.
01:01:13And I have to watch it all bring down because I'm not loving it.
01:01:14I can see it now.
01:01:15Right?
01:01:16My critics are politically motivated. We have the fires completely under control.
01:01:25This is bullshit. I grew up in Los Angeles. I played in these parks and 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!
01:01:52Uh, I hope you don't mind me interrupting Mr. Whitman.
01:01:57Huh? Oh, yes. Well, this, yes, it's my office. But, you know, I wonder if it's important.
01:02:03It is. Chris, my father called. He wants something.
01:02:08The answer is no. If there's something that your dad wants, it's probably bad.
01:02:13Maybe not this time. He wants to call a truce.
01:02:18Maybe not this time. He wants to call a truce.
01:02:26It's very unusual for Mr. Moore to grant a meeting on such short notice. You'll need to be quick.
01:02:32Right. Mr. Moore is a very private man and this meeting is entirely confidential.
01:02:36Do not try to look at his face.
01:02:40Talk.
01:02:42Well, uh, 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.
01:02:58And so...
01:02:59So we sell to Mr. Foster. He sells to the city.
01:03:03But we can't let anyone know. Do I have that right?
01:03:07You are fast, Mr. Moore.
01:03:09So, what's your price?
01:03:12Free. But you have to answer this one question.
01:03:15Why are you doing this?
01:03:16Well, we were just concerned for the city.
01:03:23Cut the bullshit.
01:03:25Speak to me straight or get out.
01:03:29Okay.
01:03:31Okay, let'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.
01:03:57But you can't tell anyone.
01:04:00They have to believe we made it.
01:04:02If you agree, I will guarantee permission of the shopping mall you applied for in downtown LA.
01:04:11Deal?
01:04:14Deal.
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.
01:04:48This guy's a prime idiot.
01:04:53He 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 it.
01:05:05I don't understand.
01:05:06Why 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.
01:05:20It's been an hour.
01:05:21Why haven't we gotten any word?
01:05:22It's been 20 minutes.
01:05:23The pilots need time to confirm.
01:05:24Mrs. Mayor, it worked.
01:05:25It's like a miracle.
01:05:27Morcorp suppressant is...
01:05:29Don't say Morcorp.
01:05:31No one is to know where it's from.
01:05:33As far as the world is concerned,
01:05:36it's our suppressant.
01:05:38Got it?
01:05:40Yes.
01:05:42Got it.
01:05:43Got it.
01:05:44Yes.
01:05:45Got it.
01:05:46I'm sorry.
01:05:47I'm sorry.
01:05:49I'm sorry.
01:05:50I'm sorry.
01:05:51I'm sorry.
01:05:52I'm sorry.
01:05:53I'm sorry.
01:05:54I'm sorry.
01:05:55I'm sorry.
01:05:57No problem.
01:06:00You know how much money this is going to make us?
01:06:05You are going to be known as the mayor who saved the city.
01:06:12And you are going to win the next election by a landslide.
01:06:19Exactly.
01:06:20Gina.
01:06:21Arrange a press conference for tomorrow.
01:06:22We're going to let everyone know.
01:06:23I saved Los Angeles.
01:06:25Every news outlet saying the same thing.
01:06:26It's not a fluke.
01:06:27The first time in a week, the fires are retreating.
01:06:28What about the suppressant?
01:06:29They've dropped all of it.
01:06:30And they want more.
01:06:31The winds have even died down.
01:06:32It's like nature is on our side now.
01:06:33Finally.
01:06:34Finally.
01:06:35Finally.
01:06:37Finally.
01:06:38Finally.
01:06:40Finally.
01:06:42The mayor has called a press conference.
01:06:44You know she's going to take credit for stopping the fires.
01:06:45I know she's going to try.
01:06:46The mayor has called a press conference.
01:06:47You know?
01:06:48She's going to take credit for stopping the fires.
01:06:49I know she's going to try.
01:06:50So why did the mayor?
01:06:51Yes?
01:06:52What are the things going to happen?
01:06:53Well, this is not a real threat.
01:06:54What did the mayor have brought to Las Vegas?
01:06:55My name is Batman.
01:06:56Here's the mayor.
01:06:57And that's what I said.
01:06:58I don't know.
01:06:59The mayor has called a press conference.
01:07:01Can you tell me?
01:07:02This is where I'm going to try.
01:07:04The mayor has called it a press conference.
01:07:06The mayor has called it a press conference.
01:07:10The mayor has called it a press conference.
01:07:11You know she's going to take credit for stopping the fires.
01:07:12stopping the fires. I know she's gonna try. Oh, what about Margaret? This is not
01:07:19good, boss. She really thinks I run more corn. I don't know why. You are entirely
01:07:24unconvincing. Totally convincing. What you need is some acting classes. Don't you
01:07:33think it's time to let her in on this? As a matter of fact, I've got that all
01:07:38planned out for tonight. One step ahead of you, boss. Margaret, I have to tell you
01:07:46something. It's my father trying to sabotage me again. You know, I'm not afraid of him.
01:07:50No, it's not like that. It's about your husband.
01:07:56My husband, he is totally overprotective. You know that I had to convince him that it
01:08:09was safe enough for me to come into my own office. Margaret, it's about those rings.
01:08:15I have a surprise for you tonight, sweetheart. Two dozen fresh roses, Noki de la Luna. Oh,
01:08:32and I can finally tell you those rings on your finger are real.
01:08:36They are a little ridiculous. I mean, who has diamonds this size? Well, that's the
01:08:44thing. Some people do have diamonds that size. There's a name for those people. Billionaires.
01:08:51Isabel, what are you talking about? Margaret, I've got something to tell you. Now, I would've
01:08:58told you sooner, but you hate rich people so much that I was afraid you were going to get
01:09:04a guillotine out. How much do you know about Moore Corp's CEO, Christopher Moore? He's some
01:09:12rich guy? Who never met with you because he doesn't make public appearances. Yeah, so? Do
01:09:20you 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? I asked the PI to trace
01:09:28known records of Moore. There was very little there, but he did find one tidbit. Moore purchased
01:09:35some jewelry. Okay, yeah, rich guys buy jewelry, so what? So, this is what he bought. Look familiar?
01:09:48Yeah, those look like my rings. So, he bought the real ones and Chris bought copies. Well, this is the
01:09:54ledger entry. Look at the date. He bought these in LA the same day that Chris gave you those.
01:10:01So, that means my husband is... Christopher Moore?! So, you're making a fire suppressant because you work for Moore Corp?
01:10:16Kind of. Margaret is a master of outreach. She will set up a strategic partnership with the Moore Corporation.
01:10:24Good morning, Mr. Moore. I trusted him! How many times am I going to be lied to in my life?!
01:10:29Margaret, your husband's a billionaire. Who cares about you? Every woman in LA wants to be you!
01:10:36No! No, this is so wrong! Okay. Cash was in the oven. Salads in the fridge. Jean-Fallard Beaujolais on the chill.
01:10:51Now, I just have to pray that you'll listen to me with an open mind.
01:11:09Margaret, I have something to tell you. Margaret, I have something to tell you. Margaret, I have something to tell you. Margaret, I...
01:11:20Margaret, don't say another word. Just leave.
01:11:26You'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.
01:12:00And 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?
01:12:12He lied to me. I've had enough betrayal for an entire lifetime.
01:12:16I'm sure he had his reasons. He didn't mean to hurt you, Margaret.
01:12:20Yeah, well, it hurts anyway.
01:12:27And I would like to acknowledge myself for the courage, the vision, and the leadership that great leaders show when they're leading.
01:12:42Cringe.
01:12:43You cannot overstate how stupid she is.
01:12:47Can 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 and deployed at my command.
01:13:02Yes, yes, yes, yes, thank you.
01:13:05It's me who saved L.A.
01:13:08Support me.
01:13:10Vote for me.
01:13:13Y'all know you can trust me.
01:13:17God bless.
01:13:19Ladies and gentlemen, excuse me.
01:13:29Everything that you have just heard is a fairy tale.
01:13:33Fiction.
01:13:34A lie.
01:13:35Oh my goodness.
01:13:36Is that your billionaire husband?
01:13:40The mayor has been lying to you all.
01:13:46Pay no attention to this man.
01:13:50Security!
01:13:51Have him removed.
01:13:52Y'all pay no attention to this.
01:13:54There's nothing to see here.
01:13:56The firemen are the true heroes who saved this city.
01:13:59The mayor has time and time again tried to stop them.
01:14:03That is bullshit.
01:14:05Security!
01:14:06Do your jobs!
01:14:07No, no, no.
01:14:08Let him speak.
01:14:09It's a free country.
01:14:11Yeah, let him talk.
01:14:12Yeah, let him talk.
01:14:13Yeah, we want a statement.
01:14:14Yeah, let him talk.
01:14:15Yeah, let him talk.
01:14:16Mayor Davis, why are you afraid of this man?
01:14:18Are you hiding something?
01:14:20Of course not.
01:14:21She's afraid of me because she knows that I can tell you all right now what actually happened.
01:14:25And why should we listen to you?
01:14:29Because the fire suppressant that actually put out the fires was supplied by MoorCorp.
01:14:34And I am the CEO of MoorCorp.
01:14:39I am Christopher Moore.
01:14:42Well, he's not hiding his identity anymore.
01:14:44He's taking on the whole city.
01:14:46Instead of trying to put the fires out, the mayor and her collaborators were profiting off of them.
01:14:54I want to watch this live.
01:14:56You coming?
01:14:58No.
01:15:04Yes!
01:15:05Hold on, Isabel!
01:15:09My company has been trying to assist the firefighters.
01:15:13He's the CEO of MoorCorp?
01:15:16Why didn't you tell me, you dumbass?
01:15:18If we don't stop him, we're all screwed.
01:15:20Then 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.
01:15:28Look, I received a medal for all of my hard work in putting out those fires.
01:15:34I wouldn't have given myself this medal if I didn't deserve it.
01:15:38Mr. Moore, I think there's been a little misunderstanding.
01:15:41Can I speak to you privately?
01:15:44The mayor wanted me to remind you about the permission from the shopping mall.
01:15:51Oh, of course.
01:15:53That reminds me.
01:15:54Whitman!
01:15:56Let's play them that video we brought.
01:15:58The mayor's address didn't work.
01:15:59It made the fires worse.
01:16:00If the public finds out, we are screwed.
01:16:01Why are you hiding the truth from the citizens in your own city?
01:16:05No.
01:16:06Okay, this is a complete fabrication.
01:16:07I mean, look at that.
01:16:08It's an AIGC deepfake.
01:16:09If the public finds out, we are screwed.
01:16:13Why are you hiding the truth from the citizens in your own city?
01:16:17Okay, this is a complete fabrication.
01:16:21I mean, look at that. It's an AIGC deepfake.
01:16:25I have something to say about that.
01:16:35No. No!
01:16:37This man has no business here.
01:16:40He was fired for dereliction of duty.
01:16:43Officers! Remove him!
01:16:49Are you going to stop?
01:16:54No search. We'll clear the way.
01:16:57Everyone can wait for Chief Taylor and his men.
01:17:01They're heroes.
01:17:07Stop then!
01:17:09That's an order!
01:17:11Now...
01:17:12You've got to stop!
01:17:13You guys can't come up here.
01:17:15This is a violation.
01:17:17Don't you touch me!
01:17:23We want Chief Taylor reinstated.
01:17:25Yeah!
01:17:26That's right!
01:17:27Yeah!
01:17:28Yeah!
01:17:29Yeah!
01:17:30Damer!
01:17:31Damer!
01:17:32Damer!
01:17:33Damer!
01:17:34Damer!
01:17:35Damer!
01:17:36Shut up!
01:17:37All of you are fired!
01:17:38No!
01:17:39You can't do that!
01:17:40Let him speak!
01:17:42Stop touching me!
01:17:45Ladies and gentlemen, the reason I was dismissed is because I refused to use the mayor's defective fire suppressant.
01:17:54You can't prove that!
01:17:56Actually, I can't.
01:17:58All the data is in these documents.
01:18:01They include sworn testimony from the pilots who were eyewitnesses.
01:18:08Mayor Davis, this is a huge scandal!
01:18:11You should resign!
01:18:13Get out of here!
01:18:14No!
01:18:15No!
01:18:16Listen to me!
01:18:17Stop it!
01:18:18Stop it!
01:18:19Stop it!
01:18:20Stop it!
01:18:21Stop it!
01:18:22Stop it!
01:18:23Stop it!
01:18:24Stop it!
01:18:25Stop it!
01:18:26Stop it!
01:18:27Stop 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.
01:18:47Chief Taylor, if you don't mind.
01:18:49Go ahead.
01:18:50We've all lived through this horrible disaster, but in the midst of tragedy, sometimes you can
01:19:00find clarity, beauty, and even love.
01:19:04The catastrophe of these LA wildfires has brought much darkness, but it's also brought
01:19:11people together.
01:19:12It brought a woman with a beautiful heart into my life, and if I can take a moment of your
01:19:18time, I'd like to try to get a message to her.
01:19:22Margaret, 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, but if I'm being honest, you're the only person I'll
01:19:41ever love.
01:19:42LA is full of idols and superstars, but you, you're the only superstar I've ever wanted,
01:19:51or will ever want.
01:19:53The fires may be out now, but there's a fire in my heart that will never stop burning.
01:20:02It 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
01:20:15be waiting.
01:20:16I don't know where you are, but I hope somehow you've heard my message.
01:20:26I heard it.
01:20:31Margaret, last time you proposed to me, now I'm proposing to you.
01:20:37Margaret, will you marry me and be my wife?
01:21:07You're doing that melting thing again.
01:21:08I thought you were doing it.
01:21:09I did.
01:21:10Mom, that's not good.
01:21:11Christopher Moore is accusing you of embezzlement, money laundering, securities fraud.
01:21:14I will make his life a living hell.
01:21:21Michelle Davis, you're under arrest on 12 counts of corruption.
01:21:22Are you insane?
01:21:23You just committed career suicide.
01:21:28You're fired.
01:21:29You're fired.
01:21:30You're all fired.
01:21:31Take your hands off for her.
01:21:32She's the mayor.
01:21:33And you are under arrest for interfering with law enforcement.
01:21:34Let's go.
01:21:35Take them both.
01:21:36No.
01:21:37Let's go.
01:21:38Take him both.
01:21:39You have the right to remain silent.
01:21:40Michelle 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.
01:22:08Hurry up.
01:22:09We need to run.
01:22:09The 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?
01:22:33You can't sell my mother's house because you acquired it illegally.
01:22:38Margaret.
01:22:39My 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?
01:22:59You know.
01:23:01You have a good point, Dad.
01:23:02Oh, 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.
01:23:11Oh.
01:23:12You're paying for what you did, Dad.
01:23:15Hey.
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.
01:23:40Oh, and by the way, your assets are frozen so you can't stay at this hotel.
01:23:44But 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.
01:24:04Those cheating scumbags can't get their hands on this house ever again.
01:24:08I 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.
01:24:30She'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?
01:24:38I 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...
01:24:56A bloody letter?
01:24:57No.
