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