00:01:22Step-sister, this is your fault.
00:01:25Poor Margaret. While you were busy dreaming about your wedding,
00:01:29I was here satisfying your fiancé.
00:01:32I just made him cum three times on your bed.
00:01:35You are nothing but a social-climbing, home-wrecking whore, just like your mom.
00:01:56Babe, are you okay?
00:01:57Uh-huh, yeah.
00:01:58Margaret, you stupid fucking bitch!
00:02:02Let me be clear. You get married, you get your mom's business.

00:02:43Promise me that you'll wear it when you get married.
00:02:47That way, I know no matter what happens, I'll be there with you on your wedding day.
00:02:54Heart to heart.
00:02:55I promise, Mommy.
00:03:04I might not get to wear this wedding dress.
00:03:07This is my fiancee, the cheating asshole.
00:03:12Oh my God. I gotta get out of here.
00:03:26Boss! A private helicopter's on the way.
00:03:28They'll airlift you out.
00:03:29You take the airlift. I'm gonna go check on the neighbors.
00:03:31What? No! Boss! Come on! L.A.'s an inferno! Everyone's in danger!
00:03:35I know! That's why I've gotta stay.
00:03:37Goddamn wildfires.
00:03:39Boss!
00:03:55Boss!
00:04:17Is that bitch still in there?
00:04:20Whatever.
00:04:21Oh no! Oh no!
00:04:23We... Someone has to help us!
00:04:25I can't lose my custom-built home!
00:04:29Help! Help!
00:04:34Guys! You've gotta evacuate! Get out of here!
00:04:36Evacuate?
00:04:37The minimal appraisal value is ten million!
00:04:44Okay! Clear out!
00:04:45Is someone still in there?
00:04:47Not just my stupid sister. Who cares about her?
00:04:50What's her name?
00:04:52Margaret, but you can just call her Loser.
00:04:54Wait if you're going inside. I have ten Hermes bags.
00:04:58They're Birkin.
00:05:00Okay!
00:05:01You have to take them, please!
00:05:02Okay!
00:05:04They're in my closet.
00:05:06I think he might do it.
00:05:09Margaret!
00:05:12Margaret, where are you?
00:05:15Can you hear me?
00:05:19Oh no.
00:05:22Oh no!
00:05:23What?
00:05:39Margaret, can you hear me?
00:05:42You're going to be okay. Alright?
00:05:45Thanks.
00:05:51Congrats on your wedding.
00:05:54It belonged to my mom.
00:05:56That's great.
00:05:58Hey. Hey, hey, hey.
00:06:00Hold on to me, okay?
00:06:04Let's get out of here.
00:06:22Where are my designer pants?
00:06:24You guys need to take her to the hospital right now.
00:06:26You saved her? Why?
00:06:28She doesn't even live in this zip code!
00:06:30If you all don't take her to safety, you'll all be charged with attempted murder.
00:06:33Don't talk to me like that.
00:06:35You cringy firefighter.
00:06:37Take her to the hospital now!
00:06:39You're ridiculous!
00:06:40Fine. You take her.
00:06:44Stop touching her!
00:06:46Then make sure she's okay.
00:06:49Stop touching her!
00:06:50Then how am I supposed to carry her?
00:06:52I don't know!
00:07:08Cancel the engagement.
00:07:09Are you out of your mind?
00:07:13Are you out of your mind?
00:07:14I almost 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 a wave of her hand.
00:07:21I 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 gonna marry Steele?
00:07:46Then you're gonna make him happy.
00:07:48No.
00:07:49I'm not a tramp who sells my body to men for money.
00:07:53That's more Caitlyn style.
00:07:59You know what?
00:08:00Dad, you can climb into bed with the Wicked Witch of the West every night.
00:08:04That's your business.
00:08:06But I will not sleep with some slimy-ass bottom-feeder to make you happy.
00:08:11Well, then you can kiss your inheritance goodbye.
00:08:13I guess I'll be taking over your mother's company.
00:08:16She left it to me.
00:08:17Only if you're married by next week.
00:08:20And then what are you going to do if Steele dumps you?
00:08:23Just look at you.
00:08:25You can't even get out of bed.
00:08:30Oh, gosh, Raveena.
00:08:33It looks like I can get out of bed after all.
00:08:37And you can't stop me.
00:08:41Are you high?
00:08:42Where the hell do you think you're going?
00:08:44To find a husband.
00:08:48To find a husband.
00:08:57And I know just where to find him.
00:09:00Stop right now, young lady.
00:09:02Stop her!
00:09:08A $50 million donation?
00:09:11This is a godsend.
00:09:13Look, man, you guys are the real heroes.
00:09:16I was just happy I could help.
00:09:18Well, I appreciate it.
00:09:20I actually got you a gift.
00:09:24Come on, Raveena. You didn't have to do that.
00:09:30Chief Tender, this is perfect.
00:09:33Thank you. Sincerely.
00:09:44Who did it to me? Where is he?
00:09:47Who did what to you?
00:09:49Saved my life yesterday.
00:09:54No, no, not you either.
00:09:58No, you're not the one.
00:10:00He's not here.
00:10:06What about that guy?
00:10:09What about that guy?
00:10:14Excuse me for a second, sir.
00:10:19It's you.
00:10:22I'm sorry, miss?
00:10:24You're the guy.
00:10:26I think you might have a good idea.
00:10:34Whoa, slow down.
00:10:37It's me, Margaret.
00:10:41I know I'm silly. I shouldn't have come here.
00:10:43I just... I have nowhere else to go.
00:10:46No one to trust.
00:10:48I lost everything that I had.
00:10:51Hey, it's okay. You're safe now.
00:10:56You say you were...
00:11:07I'm sorry.
00:11:21Margaret!
00:11:23I knew you'd remember me.
00:11:25I'm sorry I didn't recognize you.
00:11:38That's so good.
00:11:45Okay, I have two requests.
00:11:47Okay.
00:11:48First, in the future when we do that,
00:11:51your hugs don't have to be so delicate.
00:11:53I'm not breakable. Agreed?
00:11:55Yeah, sure.
00:11:57And my second request is...
00:12:00marry me.
00:12:02What?
00:12:03I'll explain all the details later, but we gotta go right now.
00:12:07Hey, if he doesn't want to, I'm available.
00:12:09Yeah, me too. I'm here all day.
00:12:11When it comes to hot women, nobody handles them like firemen.
00:12:14We're specialists.
00:12:16Whoa, easy. Down, down, boys.
00:12:19Did any of the three of you hear me say no?
00:12:22Let's go.
00:12:24Why couldn't that happen to me?
00:12:27We'll have a big ceremony later.
00:12:29For now, this makes it official.
00:12:32By the way, how do you feel about kids?
00:12:35I feel great about kids.
00:12:38When I was a little girl, my mom always told me
00:12:41to always wear nice pajamas to bed. You know why?
00:12:43Why?
00:12:45In case of an emergency, if a fireman came in,
00:12:48she said, you never know,
00:12:50one day he might become your husband.
00:12:52I'm Margaret.
00:12:54I'm sorry I haven't had the chance to tell you this yet,
00:12:56but I'm not actually a firefighter.
00:12:58I just happened to be there and was able to help that day.
00:13:02But you saved my life and my mother's dress,
00:13:07and that meant a lot to me.
00:13:10You're my hero.
00:13:12I should tell her who I am.
00:13:14Margaret, I love...
00:13:32Okay, I can tell her later.
00:13:37You know, we can't just kiss every single time
00:13:40we look into each other's eyes.
00:13:42You're right. You're right.
00:13:45No, no, you're not.
00:13:56Oh, right. Thank you.
00:14:02Come on.
00:14:06Well, my husband, shall we go to your place or mine?
00:14:10I'm... I'm actually homeless.
00:14:13My house burned down in the fires.
00:14:16I'm so sorry.
00:14:18Well, you're my husband now,
00:14:20so you can just move in with me.
00:14:22I'll help you move.
00:14:24I can't let her know I'm staying in the W Hotel.
00:14:26It's too fancy.
00:14:29That's so kind and sweet of you,
00:14:32but I wouldn't want you to get your hands dirty.
00:14:34I'll handle the moving.
00:14:36Okay.
00:14:38Well, this is my address.
00:14:44See you soon, husband.
00:14:52Dad, you can't make me sleep on the floor
00:14:55while you sleep with my mother on the...
00:14:57Eiderdown Savoir Grand Emperor bed.
00:15:00That's not fair. No.
00:15:02Book me a suite right now.
00:15:05Are you delusional?
00:15:07Every decent hotel runs out of rooms.
00:15:11Oh, how about you go get yourself a room at the Motel 6?
00:15:15What? No!
00:15:17Honey, can I stay at your place?
00:15:21Look, either we solve this with Margaret,
00:15:24or we're gonna leave.
00:15:26No, no, no, no, no.
00:15:28We'll fix it. She will marry you.
00:15:30Excuse her. She's still a little out of sorts
00:15:32after 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 Caitlin instead.
00:15:42No, Ravine, this is a business transaction.
00:15:44Steele marries Margaret,
00:15:46then becomes CEO of Foster Incorporated,
00:15:49my ex-wife's business.
00:15:52That's a perfect arrangement,
00:15:54because Margaret supplies Steele with the money,
00:15:57and Caitlin supplies him with other benefits.
00:16:02They're like a tag team.
00:16:04A tag team?
00:16:12Let's get this clear once and for all.
00:16:15None of you are ever getting your hands on my mother's money, ever.
00:16:19Not you, not my sleazy, ask-for-sales stepsister,
00:16:23not this cheating man-whore, and not...
00:16:26whoever the hell you are.
00:16:34For your information, I'm the mayor of this city,
00:16:39and you just called my son a man-whore.
00:16:43You will apologize.
00:16:45Now, on your knees,
00:16:49or I will crush you.
00:16:52No, I don't get on my knees.
00:16:55That's Caitlin's specialty.
00:16:57But I am so sorry that I called your son a man-whore.
00:17:01I should have called him a wannabe man-whore,
00:17:04because he only has one pitiful pickup line.
00:17:07My mother's the mayor.
00:17:09A mayor who let the reservoirs get so dry
00:17:12that the whole city could burn.
00:17:14You want me to apologize?
00:17:16You should be apologizing to the people of this city.
00:17:19One more word...
00:17:21Sit down and shut up.
00:17:25You will be a humble, obedient, respectful wife,
00:17:29or you will never inherit that company.
00:17:33I'm afraid I can't marry Steele.
00:17:36Don't you know that polygamy is illegal in California?
00:17:39A woman can't have two husbands.
00:17:41What are you talking about?
00:17:44Well, you see, I'm already married.
00:17:50My paper beats your paper.
00:17:53What did you do? Grab some homeless guy to marry?
00:18:00Everyone knows you were engaged to the mayor's son.
00:18:04How dare you embarrass the mayor publicly?
00:18:08You are a liability to this company,
00:18:10and you'll be replaced as the CEO by me.
00:18:12I am the new CEO.
00:18:14That is not gonna happen.
00:18:17Hmm.
00:18:22I'll catch up with you guys in a little bit.
00:18:24I have to go clear out my room.
00:18:26Boss, you married a girl you don't even know?
00:18:29What were you thinking?
00:18:34Whitman, sometimes in life you crunch the numbers
00:18:38and read the market and leverage your assets.
00:18:42And then there's other times you just listen to your heart
00:18:46and this is one of those times.
00:18:51There's my wife right now.
00:18:57Harvard, 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.
00:19:12Anyone can make a fake marriage license.
00:19:15Just admit you don't have a husband.
00:19:17Excuse me. Who the hell are you?
00:19:21I'm Margaret's husband.
00:19:24Is this some kind of joke?
00:19:26You get the joke?
00:19:28Of course it's you.
00:19:30You found some random fireman to marry.
00:19:33Oh, thank you.
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 your self-marks.
00:19:45A fireman?
00:19:48What's wrong with being a fireman?
00:19:52Poor.
00:19:54Stinky.
00:19:56These men save your lives
00:19:58and you bitches point your noses down at them?
00:20:00They're saving this city
00:20:02because she was too inept to do it.
00:20:04Keep 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!
00:20:22I'm sorry?
00:20:24We all know who you are,
00:20:26Miss Do-Nothing Mayor.
00:20:28Why are you here sitting in a hotel lobby blabbing
00:20:31while 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, we're being fired.
00:20:42Oh, wait a minute.
00:20:44You're not our chief, so you can't fire us.
00:20:47That's it. We're done talking to you idiots.
00:20:49As for you, you're gonna dump this pathetic loser
00:20:52and you're coming home with me.
00:20:54Touch her again and I will drop you where you stand.
00:20:58You and what army?
00:21:00This army.
00:21:02You owe us an apology.
00:21:04All of you.
00:21:06Apologize. Now.
00:21:09Oh, poor firemen.
00:21:12I'm so sorry.
00:21:14Sorry 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,
00:21:27how are you gonna explain to your people
00:21:29who fired the firefighters that were trying to protect it?
00:21:31This is breaking news.
00:21:33It seems the mayor is firing a team of firefighters.
00:21:36Madam Mayor, do you have a comment?
00:21:39I would never do that.
00:21:41L.A. firefighters are our true heroes.
00:21:44I'm here to support them.
00:21:47That is very lovely.
00:21:49By the way, why are you here in a luxury hotel
00:21:52when the entire city is on fire?
00:21:55She was cutting a deal for a corporate takeover
00:21:57with a rich-ass CEO.
00:21:59Rich-ass CEO?
00:22:01Madam Mayor, is that true?
00:22:04And do you have a comment?
00:22:06As I said, I am here to support these brave men.
00:22:12Go, firefighters!
00:22:14You know, many people are criticizing
00:22:17your complete and utter incompetence
00:22:19in the handling of the wildfires.
00:22:21In fact, people are pointing out the fact
00:22:23that you cut $17.5 million
00:22:26from the fire department's budget
00:22:28right as the wildfires were starting.
00:22:30What is your response?
00:22:37I have no comment.
00:22:41No comment.
00:22:45You know, not all rich CEOs are assholes.
00:22:49Believe me, they're all aggressive narcissists.
00:22:52I've seen way too many of them.
00:22:54I just want a regular guy like you.
00:22:56Okay, I don't think she's gonna like me
00:22:58if I tell her who I am.
00:22:59So, hey.
00:23:01So, 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
00:23:13just to cheat us?
00:23:14Just so you could comply to the will
00:23:17and take over the company?
00:23:19That's very clever.
00:23:21How many times do I have to tell you
00:23:23that this is my mother's company,
00:23:25so it belongs to me?
00:23:27You'll never pull it off.
00:23:29Let's go.
00:23:35Chris, thank you for standing by me.
00:23:38You married me for a business deal
00:23:40and didn't tell me?
00:23:43It wasn't for a business deal.
00:23:45It was a lawyer thing.
00:23:47I had to get married by next week
00:23:49or else I wouldn't have been able to inherit
00:23:51my mother's company, but it...
00:23:53I'm such an idiot.
00:23:57What?
00:24:01It wasn't a fake marriage!
00:24:03Don't go!
00:24:06He's a fireman?
00:24:08That is hot.
00:24:10Oh, he's incredibly hot,
00:24:12even though he's not an actual firefighter.
00:24:14She thinks you're hot, and you saved her life.
00:24:17That's a pretty good start.
00:24:19So, he saved your life,
00:24:21and then you told him you needed a husband
00:24:23for the inheritance, and then he said...
00:24:25Actually, I didn't tell him that.
00:24:28Yeah, but I didn't hear that from her.
00:24:30I'm sure she was planning to.
00:24:32But there was a lot going on, you know?
00:24:34I almost died in a fire, and then I escaped
00:24:36the hospital, and the next thing you know,
00:24:38I'm kissing a guy that I don't even know.
00:24:40And he kissed you back?
00:24:42Well, no, I mean, it was more than a kiss.
00:24:44It was like it was melting into him.
00:24:46She makes me feel like she's melting into me.
00:24:48I've never had anybody make me feel that way before.
00:24:51But then to find out that she wasn't
00:24:53being honest with me?
00:24:55You can still fix this, Margaret.
00:24:57Go talk to him.
00:24:59No!
00:25:00Talk to her.
00:25:01No.
00:25:02She was hiding things from me.
00:25:04What about you?
00:25:05I told her the truth,
00:25:07that I am not a firefighter,
00:25:09but was just a helper.
00:25:10What about the fact that you're the CEO
00:25:12of the Fortune 500 company with a net worth
00:25:14of like 1.8 billion?
00:25:15I didn't tell her that part.
00:25:17Alright.
00:25:18What if I talk to him and he just shuts me out?
00:25:20She's afraid you'll shut her up.
00:25:22Do you want to shut her up?
00:25:24Really?
00:25:25What do you really want, Margaret?
00:25:27This is one of those moments in life
00:25:29where it's do or die.
00:25:30You need to open up to him.
00:25:47Thank you, guys.
00:25:48I appreciate it.
00:25:49You're doing our part.
00:25:51Boss!
00:25:52Boss!
00:25:53Boss!
00:25:54Huh?
00:26:11Hi, Chris.
00:26:14I know you're busy with the fires.
00:26:17Hi, Margaret.
00:26:19I have something I need to tell you.
00:26:21Now is probably not the best time.
00:26:23I 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.
00:26:31I don't expect you to forgive me,
00:26:34but I needed you to know that I'm sorry.
00:26:43Wait.
00:26:51Wait.
00:26:54How did you find me?
00:26:56I was just driving around.
00:26:57I figured you'd be near the fires.
00:26:59Do not do that again.
00:27:01I...
00:27:02Just stay away, okay?
00:27:09Just stay away, okay?
00:27:13If you want to contact me,
00:27:15call me and tell me where to meet you,
00:27:17but please let it be a safe place.
00:27:19You mean you want me to contact you?
00:27:21I certainly don't want you driving around in a red zone.
00:27:24It's far too dangerous.
00:27:26Right.
00:27:27I'll be more careful next time.
00:27:30Will there be a next time?
00:27:33Listen.
00:27:34I didn't exactly tell you everything about me either, okay?
00:27:38Wow, you were so mad that you took your ring off, huh?
00:27:43But when I saw you in that fire,
00:27:46and then afterwards,
00:27:49and you kissed me...
00:27:50Okay, wait. Let's get one thing clear.
00:27:52I don't just go around kissing strange guys, okay?
00:27:54I know. Of course.
00:27:56Of course not.
00:27:58It was a special circumstance.
00:28:01I'm sure I'm never going to do anything like that in my life ever again.
00:28:04I know.
00:28:05It's just that my financial situation is not what...
00:28:13How do you do that?
00:28:16Do that thing where you make me melt into you?
00:28:19Me?
00:28:21I thought you did that.
00:28:23Isn't that what you do?
00:28:24No, it just happens.
00:28:26It's never happened to me before,
00:28:28but it only happens when I'm with you.
00:28:33I'm sorry.
00:28:35I'm sorry.
00:28:37I'm sorry.
00:28:39I'm sorry.
00:28:41I'm sorry.
00:28:59We were talking about something.
00:29:01What was that again?
00:29:03Money.
00:29:05Right. Money.
00:29:06Oh, my God. Who cares about money?
00:29:08I don't care if you're poor or in debt or whatever.
00:29:11Well, that's the thing. I'm not actually...
00:29:13I don't want a rich man.
00:29:15I mean, my father is one and my stepmother,
00:29:18and you've seen them.
00:29:19They're like a cross between Rita Repulsive and Mr. Krabs.
00:29:23Okay, but you don't think every rich person is like that, right?
00:29:27Look, let's just leave it at this.
00:29:29You don't have money, and so what?
00:29:31I don't need all the details.
00:29:33Are you sure?
00:29:34You're not gonna abandon me because I'm poor?
00:29:39You are the most handsome, smartest man that I have ever met.
00:29:44I will never abandon you.
00:29:47Let's just...
00:29:49They will be totally honest with each other from now on.
00:29:53Promise?
00:29:56Yeah.
00:30:02What's next?
00:30:11Here's your new home, my husband.
00:30:14I am a lucky guy.
00:30:16Come on in.
00:30:26Sorry about the space.
00:30:28My company's struggling a little bit, so it's a bit modest, but...
00:30:31No, don't!
00:30:35Stop it! Stop it!
00:30:43I'm sorry.
00:30:45I could fix your pipes for you so that it doesn't explode again.
00:30:50Sure, of course.
00:30:56This should help.
00:31:06He's so hot.
00:31:16It should be all good.
00:31:21So?
00:31:23So?
00:32:04Sorry, I've got to take it. It's work.
00:32:06I know.
00:32:08This better be important.
00:32:10That's a big move.
00:32:12I'll see what I can do.
00:32:14I'm so sorry.
00:32:16I've got to go to work.
00:32:18What?
00:32:19I know.
00:32:20Chris, what is it you actually do for a living?
00:32:30So, you're making a fire suppressant because you work for Morcorp?
00:32:34Kind of.
00:32:35That's so cool! And it's going to stop the wildfires?
00:32:38We hope so.
00:32:41My team...
00:32:43Our team has been making some progress this week,
00:32:47but we're supposed to roll it out this weekend, so there's not much time.
00:32:52Geez. I didn't know. You should have told me.
00:32:56I tried.
00:32:57Well, I'm sure you can do it, Chris. I'm rooting for you.
00:33:01You know, I'm not used to having someone at home rooting for me.
00:33:04It's new, but...
00:33:09It's nice.
00:34:15I'll be right there.
00:34:24Something wrong? What happened?
00:34:27What happened is...
00:34:30We did it.
00:34:36We did it.
00:34:39It worked!
00:34:41Margaret, this is going to save lives.
00:34:44Oh!
00:34:46Shoot. I have to go meet with the fire captain.
00:34:49He says it's the big test. We have to prove this suppressant works.
00:34:52I'll see you later.
00:35:00Yes! The fires are going out.
00:35:03We are kicking this fire's ass. I mean, this is a breakthrough in science.
00:35:08We are making history, my friend.
00:35:11All right, guys. Grab every container we got.
00:35:14Bambi buckets, tsunami tanks. Get them filled and airborne.
00:35:19We're going to kill this fire now.
00:35:31Stop whatever you're doing and tell those choppers
00:35:34to load the fire suppressant from Foster Corporation.
00:35:37No. We just tested a fire suppressant from Moor Corps.
00:35:41It's superior to that crap you've been sending us.
00:35:44L.A. is burning. We don't have time for your city hall bullshit.
00:35:47And I don't have time for your insubordination.
00:35:50How much kickback are you making from this, Madam Mayor?
00:35:53How many houses need to burn down in order for you to make a profit
00:35:56off of the bogus chemicals that don't even work?
00:35:59I gave you an order. Load my fire suppressant, or you're fired.
00:36:04Good. Fire. Because I will not be responsible for your disaster.
00:36:09Your wish is granted. You're fired.
00:36:16This is the end of Chief Taylor.
00:36:19No. I think this is the end of Mayor Davis.
00:36:22No. I think this is the end of Mayor Davis.
00:36:25Remember, I said it.
00:36:27Get out of here and take this piece of trash with you.
00:36:38Okay. Our deal has changed.
00:36:41One-third is not enough. I want a two-third cut.
00:36:45I need to make some money off of this thing.
00:36:48Don't you look so glum?
00:36:50I'm gonna make you CEO of Foster, Inc.
00:36:54I got a new plan.
00:36:56Come on. The door won't open itself.
00:37:05Congratulations on your victory. I'm so proud of you.
00:37:09Almost a victory.
00:37:11The mayor shut us down.
00:37:13She's been colluding with your dad.
00:37:16We're finished.
00:37:18She's the whole city holding back her up.
00:37:21Hey, don't let them scare you.
00:37:23Bureaucrats like to live in little protected hives.
00:37:26Once you crack those hives open, they scatter like roaches looking for the nearest drainpipe.
00:37:34Boss, I think your dad set up a board meeting behind your back for tomorrow.
00:37:40Copy that.
00:37:43Great. My biological father is about to ambush me.
00:37:47So it seems like we have a common enemy.
00:37:51And?
00:37:52And I'd like to do you the favor of destroying him.
00:37:56How? Do you want me to put you on the board of directors?
00:38:00No, no. I want to be your assistant.
00:38:03What? I'm gonna be your boss?
00:38:07Mm-hmm. I've got an idea.
00:38:11Okay.
00:38:17All right, let's make this fast.
00:38:19Margaret cannot be the CEO of this company. I don't care what the will says.
00:38:23Even the mayor wants Margaret out.
00:38:26Shouldn't Margaret be here to at least speak for herself?
00:38:29Don't be dense. Margaret will be out before she knows what hit her.
00:38:33And Caitlin will be in.
00:38:35Any board meeting without my approval is illegal.
00:38:38You are not authorized. She is fully authorized.
00:38:43Oh, what the hell?
00:38:44Not you again.
00:38:46This is a board meeting only for employees of Foster Incorporated.
00:38:50Right. Well, why don't you all help me welcome our newest employee?
00:38:54I put Chris on the payroll this morning. He's my new personal assistant.
00:39:00Assistant of what? Cleaning toilets?
00:39:04Oh, my God. Margaret, this is just so like you.
00:39:09Soling our company with your low-life husband.
00:39:13Well, I'm glad you acknowledge me as Margaret's husband,
00:39:16as that covers our first point today on our agenda.
00:39:19Section 12.3.C.
00:39:22Margaret Foster will inherit Foster Inc.
00:39:25so long as she is married by the designated date.
00:39:29Well, this means that Margaret is now the owner of Foster Incorporated.
00:39:35From now on, you ought to call her Madam CEO.
00:39:41When are you going to get me one of those?
00:39:43When you get some class.
00:39:45Don't, pal. We're going to take them out right now.
00:39:50It doesn't change anything.
00:39:51That's right. This company has been hemorrhaging money because of you, Margaret.
00:39:55We will not let you destroy it.
00:39:57And the only people who can take care of that is sitting right here in this room.
00:40:01Me and my brilliant new man.
00:40:05Steel can turn this company around like that.
00:40:09Tell them, honey.
00:40:11Get rid of her, and I'll double the company's revenue in four months.
00:40:15Backed by the mayor.
00:40:16My mom.
00:40:17100%.
00:40:19The mayor herself.
00:40:22That's exactly what we need.
00:40:25I like when you take control.
00:40:28Hold on.
00:40:29Margaret and I can also increase Foster Incorporated's revenues.
00:40:35He's going to double the revenue in four months.
00:40:38No one else can match it.
00:40:40Oh, we can.
00:40:42Chris, what are you saying?
00:40:44Stick with me, okay?
00:40:46What I'm about to say is a promise.
00:40:48A guarantee.
00:40:50Mr. Davis, you claim that you can double revenues in four months.
00:40:55Yes, I can.
00:40:56We will increase revenues tenfold.
00:40:59In only one month.
00:41:10In only one month.
00:41:14Ah, shit.
00:41:16No one can beat that.
00:41:18We can't make that kind of promise.
00:41:21It's impossible.
00:41:22Margaret, follow my lead.
00:41:25Okay?
00:41:26This is ludicrous.
00:41:28Okay.
00:41:29How the hell is a homeless deadbeat going to increase company revenue?
00:41:33Margaret is a master of outreach.
00:41:36She will set up a strategic partnership with the Moore Corporation.
00:41:39The Moore Corporation has operations in every country in the world.
00:41:43They won't even take a phone call from Margaret.
00:41:46Oh, but they already have.
00:41:48In fact, the manager has set up a meeting for Margaret tomorrow.
00:41:54Yeah, that's bullshit.
00:41:56Moore Corp would never work with a nobody like Margaret.
00:41:58You're delusional.
00:42:00Well, there is no harm to let her try.
00:42:04What?
00:42:05You'd better not disappoint us, Margaret.
00:42:07Okay, okay.
00:42:08Let's just make this straight here, okay?
00:42:11Margaret, you have one month to deliver Moore Corp
00:42:15and make this company's revenue, what, tenfold, you said?
00:42:19One month.
00:42:20Or else the will is null and void
00:42:24and you disappear.
00:42:27Forever.
00:42:29Agreed.
00:42:33Oh, you dug your own grave, sis.
00:42:36One month from now, we're going to kick you to the gutter
00:42:39where you belong, with your gutter husband.
00:42:52Chris, you can't make up stories like this.
00:42:55God, I'm going to lose my mother's company.
00:42:58Why did you tell them that they scheduled a meeting?
00:43:02Because I did.
00:43:06Moore Corp is expecting you.
00:43:08Tomorrow.
00:43:09They are?
00:43:10You're not joking?
00:43:12No.
00:43:13Oh my God, Chris, that's amazing.
00:43:16By the way, his rings, they almost look real.
00:43:21Yeah, almost.
00:43:33Calm down.
00:43:36We're not going to let your daughter beat you.
00:43:38There's no way she can beat me.
00:43:40Moore Corp's never worked with a nobody like her, right?
00:43:43But what if she makes it happen?
00:43:45Then we'll stop her.
00:43:46How?
00:43:51Gina, I'm sending over the contact info for Christopher Moore,
00:43:56the CEO of Moore Corporation.
00:43:58Tell his office the mayor is coming to see him tomorrow.
00:44:03I expect him to be there.
00:44:07Either Mr. Moore does what I tell him to do,
00:44:10or I'll shut down his operations in the city.
00:44:14That'd be a multi-billion dollar loss for him.
00:44:21Christopher Moore guy is a real mystery man.
00:44:25No public appearances.
00:44:27And let's not forget,
00:44:29we rejected his fire suppressants,
00:44:31so he's probably pretty pissed off at us.
00:44:33Don't worry about that.
00:44:35We'll find out who he is and how to get to him.
00:44:39That's my specialty.
00:44:44I've never met with the management of a global corporation before.
00:44:48Who knows?
00:44:49Maybe you have and you just didn't know it.
00:44:52I'd know.
00:44:53They're all assholes.
00:44:54You see them coming from a mile away.
00:45:00This PowerPoint isn't quite ready yet, I don't think.
00:45:06We need to grab their attention right away.
00:45:09And the flowery writing, it's a business meeting,
00:45:14not a poetry club.
00:45:16I mean, have you heard of bullet points?
00:45:19Okay, all right, all right.
00:45:21Well, why don't you show me what you would do?
00:45:23The presentation.
00:45:26I like the pink.
00:45:30I don't think they're going to like me very much.
00:45:34The CEO loves you.
00:45:36The CEO of MoorCorp?
00:45:38How could he love me?
00:45:39I've never even met the guy.
00:45:41I mean, he knows you.
00:45:44I've mentioned you to him before.
00:45:48Whoa, Chris, you know the CEO?
00:45:51Who are you?
00:45:53I'm just a nobody.
00:45:55You're not a nobody, you're my husband.
00:46:04It's just that these guys don't have the attention spans.
00:46:07Reed, you're poetic.
00:46:08For the business proposal, we could do something along the lines of...
00:46:18Today, we are going to be talking about...
00:46:21Do you feel like you're giving a school presentation?
00:46:24Or playing Twisted?
00:46:26I'm dramatic vet.
00:46:28I'm pulling their attention.
00:46:29You are, exactly.
00:46:30It's acting.
00:46:33Talking about my presentation that I have.
00:46:47Good morning, boss.
00:46:50I mean, boxes of mints are on the table if you'd like to try one.
00:46:55He will show us to the office.
00:46:57I will show you to that office.
00:46:59What an honor.
00:47:00It's nice to meet you.
00:47:01I think I've heard your voice before.
00:47:03Oh, of course.
00:47:04We work closely together, and he's my...
00:47:10manager.
00:47:15Do you feel ready?
00:47:16I think so.
00:47:18Hi.
00:47:21How did you two meet?
00:47:23We have an agreement to sign.
00:47:26She still doesn't know who you are.
00:47:29Copy that. I'll set up the meeting now.
00:47:31Oh, and the mayor wants to meet.
00:47:33Of course she does.
00:47:34She's in the office now.
00:47:36What a surprise.
00:47:37Surprise!
00:47:38What's the surprise?
00:47:42Surprise!
00:47:43What's the surprise?
00:47:44Someone else wants a meeting, but they are just going to have to wait.
00:47:55We have been waiting here for half an hour.
00:47:58Yes, that's because you didn't make an appointment in advance.
00:48:03I am the mayor.
00:48:04I know who you are.
00:48:06We all do.
00:48:07My cousin lost her home in the fires.
00:48:10Don't you have more important things to do right now?
00:48:14How dare you?
00:48:16You are just a useless office girl.
00:48:20Now, tell Mr. Moore that I insist...
00:48:31Good morning, Mr. Moore.
00:48:34That's him.
00:48:38Oh, my God.
00:48:41Can you believe they let common street trash in a beautiful building like this?
00:48:46Excuse me, why did you call him Mr. Moore?
00:48:54Oh, no, no.
00:48:56I was just saying, mister, there's more.
00:48:59Like, more mints in the waiting room.
00:49:02What is with the mints here?
00:49:04We've got really good mints.
00:49:06Don't worry about it.
00:49:07I might have underestimated you, okay?
00:49:09But don't you get delusional.
00:49:10Whoever you're meeting has to be a low-level lackey.
00:49:13Let's get real.
00:49:14The mayor and I are meeting the CEO.
00:49:17Stop.
00:49:18Which means you have zero chance of ever beating me.
00:49:24Got it?
00:49:27Mr. Moore is on his way.
00:49:29Do you mind waiting here just a bit longer?
00:49:32Sorry your meeting got delayed.
00:49:34Well, mine is right on the dot.
00:49:36You see, my husband and I made a presentation together.
00:49:39It's very professional.
00:49:41Do you think Moore Corp is really going to like it?
00:49:45I'm taking three.
00:49:49Meant to be.
00:49:52How dare she? How dare she?
00:49:54Fine.
00:49:56We wait.
00:49:57But he better be here soon.
00:50:00I mean, of course.
00:50:01After all, you're the mayor.
00:50:05Thank you all for meeting with me today.
00:50:22And I would love to work with you.
00:50:32Congratulations.
00:50:35He still isn't here?
00:50:37This is outrageous.
00:50:39Mr. Moore is on the way, but you know, L.A. traffic, plus the fires, make it even worse.
00:50:46Excuse me.
00:50:53Sorry to interrupt your indignation, but do you have a sheet protector that I could use?
00:50:58I just signed a contract and I don't want to get it stained or anything.
00:51:01Congratulations, Ms. Foster.
00:51:03Okay, uh, quit playing games.
00:51:05You didn't sign any contract.
00:51:07Well, unfortunately for you, I did.
00:51:10And it's for a hundred million dollar deal.
00:51:14Bullshit.
00:51:19Looks like I will be the CEO of Foster Inc. after all.
00:51:24You must be so proud of your daughter, Dad.
00:51:29Call me that!
00:51:30I will not let you do this.
00:51:33By the way, what are your friends showing up?
00:51:35Three, two, one.
00:51:41Madam Mayor, what do you have to say about the new fire that just broke out?
00:51:46Oh no, not again.
00:51:50You'll have to schedule an interview with my press team.
00:51:53I don't have time for this right now.
00:51:55Well, it looks like you have plenty of time.
00:51:58Tell us, why aren't you out there stopping the fires?
00:52:00What do you have to say?
00:52:02It is completely unfair that you are judging me.
00:52:05I am working every minute on this.
00:52:08But you rejected Moor Corp's fire suppressant.
00:52:11And you made a deal with Mr. Foster.
00:52:13I had my reasons.
00:52:15And what were they? Personal profits? Stock options?
00:52:21Oh, Mr. Foster, it's you.
00:52:23We got a tip that you have an under the table deal with Madam Mayor.
00:52:28And that your fire suppressant doesn't even work.
00:52:31That is complete nonsense. Complete nonsense, that is.
00:52:36This is a witch hunt.
00:52:38Madam Mayor, just one more.
00:52:40Ask her why she canned the fire chief while her son is collecting millions as a paid consultant for city contractors.
00:52:47So much corruption, so little time.
00:52:50Let's go.
00:52:52Madam Mayor, just one more for the people.
00:52:55Last question about your personal records.
00:52:58What?
00:53:01Why aren't you out there trying to stop the fires?
00:53:04It is completely unfair for you to judge me.
00:53:07I have been working on this every day.
00:53:10One of our eyewitness team members has found a secret ledger showing the city is paying triple for the fire suppressant.
00:53:16You know, you were perfect in today's meeting.
00:53:22Yeah, but the CEO, Mr. Moore, didn't show up.
00:53:25I wonder what he's like.
00:53:29Probably just some rich a-hole.
00:53:32That's what you said, remember?
00:53:34Yeah, but his company is actually doing good things.
00:53:38I kind of want to meet him.
00:53:39I don't know if that's a great idea.
00:53:42He's a bachelor, you know?
00:53:45He might try to steal you from me.
00:53:48Oh, that is not going to happen.
00:53:52I felt you supporting me today, Chris.
00:53:55All day.
00:53:57I haven't felt that support since my mom passed away.
00:54:00I'm sorry you had to go through that.
00:54:02I know it must have been a very dark time.
00:54:05But you're my rock.
00:54:07I can be the rock of your life now.
00:54:12I want to be the person you lean on when you need it.
00:54:16You know, sometimes I just want to rip your clothes off and drag you to bed,
00:54:20and other times I just want to get closer and feel your heart beating next to mine.
00:54:28My heart is racing.
00:54:31For you.
00:54:57I love you.
00:55:28You killed it, Margaret.
00:55:30You're a rock star.
00:55:32We're with you, Margaret.
00:55:34Always.
00:55:35You see?
00:55:36Everyone's with you now.
00:55:38No one supports you now.
00:55:40Because this is a bogus agreement.
00:55:43It's a publicity stunt.
00:55:45Can't you see?
00:55:46Like anyone's going to give her a hundred million dollars.
00:55:50Oh my gosh.
00:55:52Put me through to finance.
00:55:54We need to make a bank transfer.
00:55:56Once they find out that my surpresent is better than more companies,
00:56:01they're going to cut Margaret off like that.
00:56:06Oh, so that's what you're going to do.
00:56:09You're going to give her a hundred million dollars.
00:56:12You're going to give her a hundred million dollars.
00:56:15You're going to give her a hundred million dollars.
00:56:18You're going to give her a hundred million dollars.
00:56:20Oh, so who are you supporting now?
00:56:28Are you sure Moor Corp is not going to pay us?
00:56:36Are you sure Moor Corp is not going to pay us?
00:56:41A hundred percent.
00:56:42Why would they shell out cash to someone like that?
00:56:46Because a down payment of thirty million dollars
00:56:50just landed in our corporate account.
00:56:52From Moor Corp.
00:56:54Oh, wrong again, Dad.
00:56:58It seems like you're making a real habit out of that.
00:57:01Just you wait.
00:57:03Once they see that my surpresent is superior,
00:57:06all of this is going to be all gone.
00:57:11Margaret, we want you to know that we support you
00:57:13and we've been on your side all along.
00:57:15Yes.
00:57:17I greatly appreciate that.
00:57:21Seems like we have some big things to do.
00:57:28Today's the day that we prove our surpresent is superior
00:57:32once and for all.
00:57:33Get those stupid reporters off our backs.
00:57:36And as the new fire chief,
00:57:38you know what your job is, right?
00:57:42Fight the fires?
00:57:44No.
00:57:46Make sure you follow my commands.
00:57:52It's them.
00:57:55How did you know they were going to be here?
00:57:57Are you some kind of spy?
00:58:02Are you some kind of spy?
00:58:04Hey, I'm just a regular guy.
00:58:07That's what you said.
00:58:08That's why you like me, remember?
00:58:10Well, for a regular guy,
00:58:11you sure do have a lot of inside information.
00:58:14I just know they ordered a chopper today.
00:58:16Off record.
00:58:17And I want to know why.
00:58:19There it is.
00:58:32The fires are getting worse.
00:58:33Holy shit.
00:58:36Oh, no.
00:58:38That's not fire suppressant.
00:58:40It's more like fire starter.
00:58:43Call the chopper and tell them to stop dropping it.
00:58:46Oh, my God.
00:58:48It's too late.
00:58:50The payloads have all been dropped.
00:58:52Good God, it's coming our direction.
00:58:54You're an idiot.
00:58:56If this reaches us,
00:58:57everything here is going to blow sky high.
00:59:01No, how do half-wits like this get control of a city?
00:59:04We've got to do something about this.
00:59:06How?
00:59:07I'll figure something out,
00:59:08but first, I've got to get you to safety.
00:59:10Come on.
00:59:11Okay.
00:59:12Come on.
00:59:13Okay.
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?
00:59:27Step ahead of you.
00:59:29Thought you might need my help.
00:59:31Okay.
00:59:33Yeah, I've got a few things you can do for me.
00:59:35You've got stuff to do for him?
00:59:38But I thought he was your manager.
00:59:40He is.
00:59:41But the thing is...
00:59:43I'm the...
00:59:45As your manager, I have to look after my employees.
00:59:48Why, I might even give you a raise next year, Chris.
00:59:55Just stay here.
00:59:57Keep a watch on the fire alerts, okay?
01:00:00I will call my people...
01:00:02Our people to protect you.
01:00:07Tomorrow.
01:00:11Call Capstone Fire.
01:00:12They have them come to Margaret's house immediately.
01:00:14Really?
01:00:15You didn't even do that for your own house,
01:00:17which is worth, like, $100 million.
01:00:18Just do it, okay?
01:00:20Okay.
01:00:21I'm only saying her house is worth, like, half a million.
01:00:24The cost of the service is probably...
01:00:26It's not always about money, Whitman.
01:00:29Okay, call them right now.
01:00:31And you're paying the bill.
01:00:33It's going to be an expensive call.
01:00:43Fire Protection Service?
01:00:46Where'd they come from?
01:00:51You screwed this up!
01:00:54I could bankrupt you like that!
01:00:56Hold on.
01:00:57I know how to fix all of this with just two words.
01:01:00Moor Corp.
01:01:02Okay?
01:01:03We buy all their fire suppressant.
01:01:05You know, very hush-hush.
01:01:07And then you get all the credit for it.
01:01:09How?
01:01:10They blocked our calls.
01:01:12We can't get to them.
01:01:13Yeah, we can't.
01:01:15But Margaret can.
01:01:18And she is still my daughter.
01:01:22My critics are politically motivated.
01:01:26We have the fires completely under control.
01:01:30This is bullshit.
01:01:31I grew up in Los Angeles.
01:01:33I played in these parks and in these playgrounds.
01:01:43Not to watch it all burn down,
01:01:45because these fools won't use a fire suppressant that works.
01:01:48Margaret?
01:01:57I hope you don't mind me interrupting, Mr. Whitman.
01:02:01Huh?
01:02:02Oh, yes.
01:02:03Well, yes, it's my office, but, you know,
01:02:06even if it's important.
01:02:07It is.
01:02:08Chris, my father called.
01:02:11He wants something.
01:02:13My father called.
01:02:14He wants something.
01:02:18My father called.
01:02:19He wants something.
01:02:21The answer is no.
01:02:23If there's something that your dad wants, it's probably that.
01:02:26Maybe not this time.
01:02:28He wants to call a truce.
01:02:35It's very unusual for Mr. Moore to grant a meeting on such short notice.
01:02:39We'll need to be quick.
01:02:40Right.
01:02:41Mr. Moore is a very private man,
01:02:43and this meeting is entirely confidential.
01:02:45Do not try to look at his face.
01:02:48Talk.
01:02:50Well, to be a vendor in this city,
01:02:53you have to go through lots of protocols,
01:02:56and that takes time.
01:02:58We don't have time.
01:03:00Exactly.
01:03:02You see, Mr. Foster's company is already an approved vendor,
01:03:07and so...
01:03:08So we sell to Mr. Foster.
01:03:10We sell to the city.
01:03:12We can't let anyone know.
01:03:14Do I have that right?
01:03:15You are fast, Mr. Moore.
01:03:18So, what's your price?
01:03:20Free.
01:03:22But you have to answer this one question.
01:03:24Why are you doing this?
01:03:28Well, we were just concerned for the city.
01:03:32Cut the bullshit.
01:03:34Speak to me straight, or get out.
01:03:38Okay.
01:03:40Okay, let's put our cards on the table.
01:03:47We'll put our cards on the table.
01:03:49We're doing this because our fire suppressant didn't work.
01:03:55It made the fires worse.
01:03:58If the public finds out, we're screwed.
01:04:01So, we'd like to use the Moore Corp's fire suppressant,
01:04:06but you can't tell anyone.
01:04:08They have to believe we made it.
01:04:10If you agree,
01:04:12I will guarantee permission of the shopping mall you applied for in downtown L.A.
01:04:19Deal?
01:04:23Deal.
01:04:24We'll deliver 2,000 tons of the suppressant this afternoon,
01:04:28but you must deploy it immediately.
01:04:31Fine.
01:04:34Just to confirm, what's the price?
01:04:38Zero.
01:04:40You don't pay a penny.
01:04:43Well, that sounds like a win-win.
01:04:46Cut the formalities.
01:04:48We're done here.
01:04:55Okay, thanks.
01:04:59This guy's a prime idiot.
01:05:02He took us for free.
01:05:04He's a billionaire, you fool.
01:05:07He doesn't care about small money.
01:05:09I knew he wanted to build that mall.
01:05:12That's how I got him.
01:05:14I don't understand.
01:05:16Why did you give it to them for free?
01:05:19Because I got exactly what I wanted.
01:05:25Our fire suppressant didn't work.
01:05:28It made the fires worse.
01:05:33It's been an hour.
01:05:35Why haven't we gotten any word?
01:05:37It's been 20 minutes.
01:05:38The pilots need time to convert.
01:05:40Mrs. Mayor, it worked.
01:05:42It's like a miracle.
01:05:44Moor Corp's suppressant is...
01:05:46Don't say Moor Corp.
01:05:49No one is to know where it's from.
01:05:52As far as the world is concerned,
01:05:55it's our suppressant.
01:05:58It's our suppressant.
01:06:01Got it?
01:06:03Yes, got it.
01:06:05No problem.
01:06:09You know how much money this is going to make us?
01:06:14You are going to be known as the mayor who saved the city.
01:06:21And you are going to win the next election by a landslide.
01:06:27Exactly.
01:06:33Gina, arrange a press conference for tomorrow.
01:06:38We're going to let everyone know I saved Los Angeles.
01:06:50Every news outlet is saying the same thing.
01:06:53It's not a fluke.
01:06:55The first time in a week, the fires are retreating.
01:06:59What about the suppressant?
01:07:01They've dropped all of it, and they want more.
01:07:03The winds have even died down.
01:07:05It's like nature is on our side now.
01:07:08Finally.
01:07:14Finally.
01:07:17The mayor is calling a press conference.
01:07:19You know she's going to take credit for stopping the fires.
01:07:22I know she's going to try.
01:07:25Oh, what about Marguerite?
01:07:27This is not good, boss.
01:07:29She really thinks I run more corn.
01:07:31I don't know why.
01:07:33You are entirely unconvincing.
01:07:35I'm totally convincing.
01:07:38What you need is some acting classes.
01:07:42Don't you think it's time to let her in on this?
01:07:45As a matter of fact, I've got it all planned out for tonight.
01:07:49One step ahead of you, boss.
01:07:54Marguerite, I have to tell you something.
01:07:56Is my father trying to sabotage me again?
01:07:58You know I'm not afraid of him.
01:08:00No, it's not like that.
01:08:02It's about your husband.
01:08:13My husband, he is totally overprotective.
01:08:16You know that I had to convince him that it was safe enough for me to come into my own office.
01:08:21I have Marguerite. It's about those rings.
01:08:33I have a surprise for you tonight, sweetheart.
01:08:36Two dozen fresh roses,
01:08:38Nokia Della Luna,
01:08:40Oh, and I can finally tell you those rings on your finger are real.
01:08:48They are a little ridiculous.
01:08:50I mean, who has diamonds this size?
01:08:52Well, that's the thing.
01:08:54Some people do have diamonds that size.
01:08:57There's a name for those people.
01:08:59Billionaires.
01:09:01Isabel, what are you talking about?
01:09:04Marguerite, I've got something to tell you.
01:09:07Now, I would have told you sooner,
01:09:09but you hate rich people so much that I was afraid you would get your guillotine out.
01:09:15How much do you know about Moore Corp's CEO, Christopher Moore?
01:09:20He's some rich guy?
01:09:22Who never met with you because he doesn't make public appearances.
01:09:26Yeah, so?
01:09:29Do you remember that private investigator we used to look into that auditing glitch last year?
01:09:33Good God, Isabel, would you just tell me what you're talking about?
01:09:36I asked the PI to trace known records of Moore.
01:09:39There was very little there, but he did find one tidbit.
01:09:43Moore purchased some jewelry.
01:09:46Okay, yeah, rich guys buy jewelry, so what?
01:09:50So, this is what he bought.
01:09:55Look familiar?
01:09:57Yeah, those look like my rings.
01:09:59So, he bought the real ones and Chris bought copies.
01:10:02Well, this is the ledger entry.
01:10:04Look at the date.
01:10:06He bought these in LA the same day that Chris gave you those.
01:10:17So, that means my husband is Christopher Moore?
01:10:22So, you're making a fire suppressant because you work for Moore Corp?
01:10:27Kind of.
01:10:28Margaret is a master of outreach.
01:10:30She will set up a strategic partnership with the Moore Corporation.
01:10:33Good morning, Mr. Moore.
01:10:35I trusted him!
01:10:36How many times am I going to be lied to in my life?
01:10:38Margaret, your husband's a billionaire.
01:10:41Who cares about you?
01:10:43Every woman in LA wants to be you.
01:10:45No, no, this is so wrong.
01:10:52Okay.
01:10:54Casuals in the oven, salads in the fridge,
01:10:57Jean-Pilard Beaujolais on the chill.
01:11:07Now I just have to pray that you'll listen to me with an open mind.
01:11:14Margaret, I have something to tell you.
01:11:19Margaret, I have something to tell you.
01:11:23Margaret, I, uh...
01:11:25Don't say another word.
01:11:28Just leave.
01:11:32You're a liar!
01:11:35You're a liar!
01:11:52I am proud to announce that the fires that have been ravaging this city
01:11:58are now extinguished.
01:12:00These fires are out because of our brave mayor, Michelle Davis.
01:12:07And I just want to say thank you to the firefighters...
01:12:10I 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.
01:12:21I've had enough betrayal for an entire lifetime.
01:12:23I'm sure he had his reasons.
01:12:25He didn't mean to hurt you, Margaret.
01:12:27Yeah, well, it hurts anyway.
01:12:34And I would like to acknowledge myself
01:12:37for the courage, the vision, and the leadership
01:12:43that great leaders show when they're leading.
01:12:49Cringe.
01:12:50You cannot overstate how stupid she is.
01:12:53You cannot overstate how stupid she is.
01:12:56Can I just say one more thing?
01:12:58No, you cannot.
01:13:00The fire suppressant that put out the fires
01:13:04was created by me
01:13:07and deployed at my command.
01:13:12Yes, yes, yes, thank you.
01:13:14It's me who saved L.A.
01:13:17Support me.
01:13:19Vote for me.
01:13:22Y'all know you can trust me.
01:13:26God bless...
01:13:30Ladies and gentlemen, excuse me.
01:13:38Everything that you have just heard
01:13:40is a fairy tale, fiction, a lie.
01:13:45Oh, my goodness.
01:13:47Is that your billionaire husband?
01:13:51Hmm.
01:13:54The mayor has been lying to you all.
01:13:57Pay no attention to this man.
01:13:59Security, have him removed.
01:14:02Y'all, pay no attention to this.
01:14:04There's nothing to see here.
01:14:06The firemen are the true heroes who saved this city.
01:14:09The mayor has time and time again tried to stop them.
01:14:12That is bullshit.
01:14:15Security, do your jobs.
01:14:17Oh, no, no, let him speak.
01:14:19It's a free country.
01:14:20Yeah, let him talk.
01:14:22Yeah, we want a statement.
01:14:23Yeah, let him talk.
01:14:24Yeah, let him talk.
01:14:25Mayor Davis, why are you afraid of this man?
01:14:27Are you hiding something?
01:14:29Of course not.
01:14:31She's afraid of me because she knows
01:14:33that I can tell you all right now what actually happened.
01:14:35Then why should we listen to you?
01:14:39Because the fire suppressant that actually put out the fires
01:14:42was supplied by Moor Court,
01:14:44and I am the CEO of Moor Court.
01:14:48I am Christopher Moor.
01:14:51Well, he's not hiding his identity anymore.
01:14:54He's taking on the whole city.
01:14:56Instead of trying to put the fires out,
01:14:59the mayor and her collaborators were probably...
01:15:04I want to watch this live.
01:15:05You coming?
01:15:07No.
01:15:13Yes, hold on, Isabel.
01:15:18My company has been trying to assist the firefighters.
01:15:22He's the CEO of Moor Court?
01:15:25Why didn't you tell me, you dumbass?
01:15:27If we don't stop him, we're all screwed.
01:15:29Then do something to stop him.
01:15:31The mayor threatened us,
01:15:32and time and time again tried to get in our way.
01:15:35That is not true.
01:15:38Look, I received a medal
01:15:40for all of my hard work in putting out those fires.
01:15:43I wouldn't have given myself this medal
01:15:45if I didn't deserve it.
01:15:47Mr. Moor, I think there's been a little misunderstanding.
01:15:51Can I speak to you privately?
01:15:53The mayor wanted me to remind you
01:15:56about the omission of the shopping mall.
01:16:00Oh, of course.
01:16:02That reminds me.
01:16:03Whitman.
01:16:05Let's play them that video we brought.
01:16:08Our fire suppressant didn't work.
01:16:10It made the fires worse.
01:16:13If the public finds out, we are screwed.
01:16:17Why are you hiding the truth from the citizens
01:16:20in your own city?
01:16:21Okay, this is a complete fabrication.
01:16:25I mean, look at that.
01:16:26It's an AIGCD fake.
01:16:29I have something to say about that.
01:16:32No.
01:16:33No!
01:16:34This man has no business here.
01:16:37He was fired for dereliction of duty.
01:16:40Officers!
01:16:41Remove him!
01:16:46Are you going to stop?
01:16:48No, I'm not going to stop.
01:16:50I'm not going to stop.
01:16:52I'm not going to stop.
01:16:54I'm not going to stop.
01:16:56I'm not going to stop.
01:16:58I'm not going to stop.
01:17:00I'm not going to stop.
01:17:05No search.
01:17:06We'll clear the way.
01:17:08Everyone, make way for Chief Taylor and his men.
01:17:12They're heroes.
01:17:18They're heroes.
01:17:19Stop them!
01:17:20That's an order!
01:17:23You've got to stop.
01:17:24You guys can't come up here.
01:17:27This is a violation.
01:17:29Don't you touch me!
01:17:33We want Chief Taylor reinstated.
01:17:36Yeah, that's right!
01:17:40Taylor! Taylor! Taylor!
01:17:44Shut up!
01:17:46All of you are fired.
01:17:48No.
01:17:49You can't do that.
01:17:50Let him speak.
01:17:54Stop touching me.
01:17:56Ladies and gentlemen, the reason I was dismissed it's because I refused to use the mayor's defective fire suppressants
01:18:04You can't prove that
01:18:07actually
01:18:18I can mayor David. This is a huge scandal. You should resign
01:18:24Get out of here
01:18:42Before we wrap this up, I'd like to share something personal
01:18:45With you all
01:18:47Chief Taylor, you don't mind?
01:18:49Go ahead
01:18:51We've all lived through this horrible disaster
01:18:55But in the midst of tragedy, sometimes you can find a clarity
01:19:00Beauty and even love
01:19:03But sometimes, it's the people who are actually in danger
01:19:08And it's not just the people who are in danger
01:19:12Beauty and even love
01:19:15The catastrophe of these LA wildfires
01:19:18Has brought much darkness
01:19:21But it's also brought people together
01:19:24It brought a woman with a beautiful heart into my life
01:19:27And if I can take a moment of your time, I'd like to try to get a message to her
01:19:33Margaret, I love you
01:19:37It hurts to not be with you
01:19:40I know I kept things from you and that was not right
01:19:43I don't expect you to forgive me
01:19:46But if I'm being honest, you're the only person I'll ever love
01:19:51LA is full of idols and superstars
01:19:55But you, you're the only superstar I've ever wanted
01:20:00Or will ever want
01:20:03The fires may be out now
01:20:07But there's a fire in my heart that will never stop burning
01:20:11It will burn forever, for you
01:20:18So, if you can find it in your heart to forgive me
01:20:22No matter how much time it takes, I will be waiting
01:20:26I don't know where you are
01:20:29But I hope, somehow, you've heard my message
01:20:33Thank you
01:20:36I heard it
01:20:41Margaret, last time you proposed to me
01:20:46Now I'm proposing to you
01:20:53Margaret, will you marry me and be my wife?
01:21:03Margaret, will you marry me and be my wife?
01:21:08Margaret, will you marry me and be my wife?
01:21:32You're doing the melting thing again
01:21:34I thought you were doing it
01:21:39Mom, it's not good
01:21:41Christopher Moore is accusing you of embezzlement, money laundering, securities fraud
01:21:46I will make his life a living hell
01:21:49Michelle Davis, you're under arrest for 12 counts of corruption
01:21:54Are you insane?
01:21:56You just committed career suicide
01:21:59You're fired, you're on fire
01:22:02Get your hands off her, she's the mayor
01:22:05And you are under arrest for interfering with law enforcement
01:22:09Let's go, take them both
01:22:11You have the right to remain silent
01:22:13I fired you
01:22:18Hurry up, we need to run, the police will be here soon
01:22:21Why should I leave? I don't want to go anywhere
01:22:24I've got three tickets to Venezuela, you get to sit by the window
01:22:28We have to rebuild our lives there
01:22:30I have plenty of cash and I have a buyer letter for the house
01:22:34Apologies, but you can't sell something that's not rightfully yours
01:22:40What the hell is going on, Kayla?
01:22:42You can't sell my mother's house because you acquired it illegally
01:22:46No, Margaret
01:22:49My daughter, I wasn't going to sell it
01:22:53It belongs to you, your mother's company, her home, it's all yours
01:22:58Chris, Mr. Moore, I'm your father-in-law
01:23:04And I'm almost 60, you don't want to put me away, do you?
01:23:08You know, you have a good point, dad
01:23:11Oh wait, you asked me specifically to not call you that
01:23:15You know, in fact, since the day that I met you, you've done nothing but try to destroy your own daughter
01:23:20No, you're paying for what you did, dad
01:23:24Hey, Abby
01:23:26How dare you put your own father in jail?
01:23:30You are an ungrateful little bitch
01:23:35Oh, I forgot, you can't leave the country until the trial's over
01:23:42Oh, and by the way, your assets are frozen, so you can't stay at this hotel
01:23:47But don't worry, we've made arrangements for you to stay at a different place
01:23:52What other arrangements?
01:23:54You know that Motel 6 right around the corner?
01:23:57What? Oh my god
01:23:59No
01:24:00No, no, no
01:24:12Those cheating scumbags can't get their hands on this house ever again
01:24:22I bet your mom was an amazing person, and I'm sure she loved you so much
01:24:27She always wanted me to get married in her wedding dress
01:24:31She'd say no matter where she was, she'd be able to feel it, heart to heart
01:24:44What do you think?
01:24:46I think you are so radiant that she can most certainly see your glow all the way from heaven
01:24:53Well, if she is really looking down, then she'll be very glad to know that I found a much better man
01:25:01And I bet she'd be so excited to know that I'm marrying a...
01:25:05Somebody new?
01:25:07No, a fireman
