00:04:55Wait if you're going inside.
00:04:57I have ten Hermes bags.
00:05:00Okay!
00:05:02Okay!
00:05:04They're in my closet.
00:05:06I think he might do it.
00:05:08Margaret!
00:05:12Margaret, where are you?

00:05:18Oh, no.

00:05:40Margaret, can you hear me?
00:05:42You're gonna be okay.
00:05:44Alright?
00:05:50Congrats on your wedding.
00:05:54It belonged to my mom.
00:05:56That's great.
00:05:58Hey, hey, hey.
00:06:00Hold on to me, okay?
00:06:04Get out of here.
00:06:12Come on.
00:06:24Where are my designer pants?
00:06:26You guys need to take her to the hospital right now.
00:06:28You saved her?
00:06:30Why?
00:06:32She doesn't even live in this zip code.
00:06:34If you all don't take her to safety, you'll all be charged with attempted murder.
00:06:36Don't talk to me like that.
00:06:38You cringy firefighter.
00:06:40Take her to the hospital now.
00:06:42You're ridiculous.
00:06:44Fine, you take her.
00:06:48Stop touching her.
00:06:50Then how am I supposed to carry her?
00:06:53I don't know.
00:07:08Cancel the engagement.
00:07:10Are you out of your mind?
00:07:14Are you out of your mind?
00:07:16I almost died in a fire and that's all you have to say to me?
00:07:18His mother is mayor of this whole city.
00:07:20She can open doors with the wave of her hand.
00:07:22I don't care if she can fart rainbows with a wave of her butt.
00:07:26Oh, and did they tell you that he's been fucking Caitlyn?
00:07:30Watch your mouth.
00:07:32Tell 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
00:07:38so you can burn in hell.
00:07:40You tried to leave me there, remember?
00:07:42You think I don't know that?
00:07:44Cut the crap.
00:07:46You're gonna marry Steele and you're gonna make him happy.
00:07:48No.
00:07:51He sells my body to men for money.
00:07:53That's more Caitlyn style.
00:07:59You know what?
00:08:01Dad, you can climb into bed with the Wicked Witch of the West
00:08:03every night.
00:08:05That's your business.
00:08:07But I will not sleep with some slimy-ass
00:08:09bottom 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.
00:08:15She left it to me.
00:08:17Only if you're married by next week.
00:08:20And what are you going to do
00:08:22if Steele dumps you?
00:08:24Just look at you.
00:08:26You can't even get out of bed.
00:08:30Oh, gosh, Raveena.
00:08:32It looks like I can
00:08:34get out of bed after all.
00:08:36And you
00:08:38can't stop me.
00:08:40Are you high?
00:08:42Where the hell do you think you're going?
00:08:44To find a husband.
00:08:46To find a husband.
00:08:56And I know just where to find him.
00:09:00Stop right now, young lady.
00:09:02Stop her!
00:09:08A $50 million donation?
00:09:10This is a godsend.
00:09:12Look, man,
00:09:15you guys are the real heroes.
00:09:17I was just happy I could help.
00:09:19Well, I appreciate it.
00:09:21I actually got you a gift.
00:09:23Come on, Raveena.
00:09:25You didn't have to do that.
00:09:31Chieftain, this is perfect.
00:09:35Sincerely.
00:09:45Who did it to me?
00:09:47Where is he?
00:09:49Who did what to you?
00:09:51Saved my life yesterday.
00:09:57No, no.
00:09:59Not you either.
00:10:01No, you're not the one.
00:10:03He's not here.
00:10:09What about that guy?
00:10:11You all right?
00:10:13Let's go.
00:10:15Excuse 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 a good idea.
00:10:33Whoa.
00:10:35Slow down.
00:10:37It's me, Margaret.
00:10:41I know I'm silly.
00:10:43I shouldn't have come here.
00:10:45I have nowhere else to go.
00:10:47No one to trust.
00:10:49I lost everything that I had.
00:10:51Hey.
00:10:53It's okay.
00:10:55You're safe now.
00:10:57You say you were.
00:11:11Margaret.
00:11:13I knew you'd remember me.
00:11:15I'm sorry.
00:11:17I didn't recognize you.
00:11:29Oh, man.
00:11:33Oh, wow.
00:11:35What's going to happen?
00:11:38Oh, wow.
00:11:46I have two requests.
00:11:48Okay.
00:11:50First, in the future when we do that,
00:11:52your hugs don't have to be so delicate.
00:11:54I'm not breakable.
00:11:56Agreed?
00:11:58Yeah, sure.
00:12:00And my second request is,
00:12:02marry me.
00:12:04What?
00:12:07Hey, if he doesn't want to, I'm available.
00:12:09Yeah, me too.
00:12:11I'm here all day.
00:12:13When it comes to hot women,
00:12:15nobody handles them like firemen.
00:12:17We're specialists.
00:12:19Whoa, easy.
00:12:21Down, down, boys.
00:12:23Did any of the three of you hear me say no?
00:12:25Let's go.
00:12:27Why couldn't that happen to me?
00:12:29We'll have a big ceremony later.
00:12:31For now, this makes it official.
00:12:33By the way,
00:12:35I feel great about kids.
00:12:37When I was a little girl,
00:12:39my mom always told me to always
00:12:41bring nice pajamas to bed, you know why?
00:12:43Why?
00:12:45In case of an emergency,
00:12:47if a fireman came in, she said,
00:12:49you never know,
00:12:51you might become her husband.
00:12:53I'm sorry I haven't had the chance to tell you this yet,
00:12:55but I'm not actually a firefighter.
00:12:57I just happened to be there
00:12:59and was able to help that day.
00:13:02But
00:13:04you saved my life
00:13:06and my mother's trust
00:13:08and 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 you.
00:13:32Okay, I can tell her later.
00:13:36You know,
00:13:38we can't just kiss every single time
00:13:40we look into each other's eyes.
00:13:42You're right.
00:13:44No, no you're not.
00:13:56Oh, right.
00:14:02You're welcome.
00:14:06Well, my husband,
00:14:08shall we go to your place or mine?
00:14:10I'm...
00:14:12I'm actually homeless.
00:14:14My 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.
00:14:28That's so kind
00:14:30and 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,
00:14:40this
00:14:42is my address.
00:14:44See you soon, husband.
00:14:52Dad, you can't make me sleep
00:14:54on the floor while you sleep
00:14:57with my mother on the
00:14:59Eiderdown Savoir Grand Emperor bed.
00:15:01That's not fair.
00:15:03Book me a suite right now.
00:15:07Are you delusional?
00:15:09Every decent hotel
00:15:11runs out of rooms.
00:15:13How about you go get yourself
00:15:15a room at the Motel 6?
00:15:17What? No!
00:15:19Honey,
00:15:21can I stay at your place?
00:15:23Look, either we solve this with Margaret,
00:15:26or we're gonna leave.
00:15:28No, no, no. We'll fix it.
00:15:30She will marry you.
00:15:32Excuse her. She's still a little out of sorts
00:15:34after the whole city-burning-down thing.
00:15:36Well, she's gonna have to come crawling
00:15:38back to me on her knees.
00:15:40Too bad you couldn't choose Caitlin instead.
00:15:42No, Ravine,
00:15:44this is a business transaction.
00:15:46Stelio marries Margaret,
00:15:48then becomes CEO of Foster Incorporated,
00:15:50my ex-wife's business.
00:15:52That's the perfect arrangement
00:15:54because Margaret supplies Stelio with the money
00:15:56and Caitlin supplies him
00:15:58with 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.
00:16:14None of you are ever
00:16:16getting your hands on my mother's money ever.
00:16:18Not you,
00:16:20not my sleazy, ask-for-sales stepsister,
00:16:23not this cheating man-whore,
00:16:25and not whoever the hell you are.
00:16:35For your information,
00:16:37I'm the mayor of this city
00:16:39and you just called my son
00:16:41a man-whore.
00:16:43You will apologize
00:16:45now
00:16:47on your knees
00:16:49or I will crush you
00:16:51No,
00:16:53I don't get on my knees.
00:16:55That's Caitlin's specialty.
00:16:57But I am so sorry
00:16:59that I called your son a man-whore.
00:17:01I should have called him a wannabe man-whore
00:17:03because he only has
00:17:05one pitiful pickup line,
00:17:07my mother's the mayor.
00:17:09A mayor who let the reservoirs
00:17:11get so dry that the whole city
00:17:13could burn.
00:17:15You want me to apologize?
00:17:17You should be apologizing to the people of this city.
00:17:20One more word,
00:17:22sit down and shut up.
00:17:24You will be a humble,
00:17:26obedient,
00:17:28respectful wife
00:17:30but you will never inherit that company.
00:17:32I'm afraid
00:17:34I can't marry Steele.
00:17:36Don't you know that polygamy is illegal
00:17:38in California?
00:17:40A woman can't have two husbands.
00:17:42What are you talking about?
00:17:44Well,
00:17:46you see, I'm already married.
00:17:50My paper
00:17:52beats your paper.
00:17:54What did you do?
00:17:56Grab some homeless guy to marry?
00:17:58Everyone knows
00:18:00you were engaged
00:18:02to the mayor's son.
00:18:04How dare you
00:18:06embarrass the mayor publicly?
00:18:08You are a liability to this company
00:18:10and you'll be replaced as a CEO
00:18:12by me.
00:18:14I am the new CEO.
00:18:16That is not gonna happen.
00:18:19I'll catch up
00:18:21with you guys in a little bit.
00:18:23I have to go clear out my room.
00:18:25Boss, you married a girl
00:18:27you don't even know?
00:18:29What were you thinking?
00:18:33Whitman,
00:18:35sometimes in life
00:18:37you crunch the numbers
00:18:39and read the market
00:18:41and leverage your assets
00:18:43and then there's other times
00:18:45you just listen to your heart.
00:18:47This is one of those times.
00:18:51There's my wife right now.
00:18:57Harvard,
00:18:59you're done.
00:19:01Who's that creep that's threatening her?
00:19:03That's Jackson Foster, your father-in-law.
00:19:05I did some research.
00:19:07Step ahead of you, boss.
00:19:09Well, I'm gonna put an end to this.
00:19:13Anyone can make a fake marriage license.
00:19:16Just admit you don't have a husband.
00:19:18Excuse me, who the hell are you?
00:19:22I'm Margaret's husband,
00:19:24her dad.
00:19:26Is this some kind of joke?
00:19:28You get the joke?
00:19:30Of course it's you.
00:19:32You found some random fireman to marry.
00:19:34Oh, thank you.
00:19:36How pathetic.
00:19:38How much does he make a year?
00:19:40Like $30,000 after taxes?
00:19:42You really lowered
00:19:44yourself, Margaret.
00:19:46A 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
00:20:08off of your face permanently.
00:20:10You know who I am.
00:20:14Move your fat asses,
00:20:16go out there and do your goddamn jobs
00:20:18and stop
00:20:20interrupting 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
00:20:30blabbing while the whole city
00:20:32is burning down?
00:20:34Who are you to challenge me?
00:20:36I can fire all of you.
00:20:40Hey guys, we're being fired.
00:20:43Oh wait a minute, you're not our chief
00:20:45so 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
00:20:51pathetic loser and you're coming home with me.
00:20:55Touch her again and I will drop you where you stand.
00:20:59You and what army?
00:21:01This army.
00:21:03You owe us an apology, all of you.
00:21:05Apologize.
00:21:07Now.
00:21:09Oh, poor
00:21:12fireman.
00:21:14I'm so sorry.
00:21:16Sorry about to get your asses kicked out of here.
00:21:18Security!
00:21:24Good move, Madam Mayor.
00:21:26And when this whole city burns down,
00:21:28how are you gonna explain to your people
00:21:30that you fired the firefighters that were trying to protect it?
00:21:32This is breaking news.
00:21:34It seems the mayor is firing a team of firefighters.
00:21:36Madam Mayor,
00:21:38do you have a comment?
00:21:40You do that.
00:21:42LA firefighters are our true heroes.
00:21:44I'm here to support them.
00:21:48That is very lovely.
00:21:50By the way, why are you here in a luxury hotel
00:21:52when the entire city is on fire?
00:21:54She was cutting a deal
00:21:56for a corporate takeover with a rich ass CEO.
00:21:58Rich ass CEO?
00:22:02Madam Mayor, is that true?
00:22:04And do you have a comment?
00:22:06As I said,
00:22:09I'm here to support these brave men.
00:22:11Go, firefighters!
00:22:15You 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
00:22:23the fact that you cut $17.5 million
00:22:25from the fire department's budget
00:22:27right as the wildfires were starting.
00:22:29What is your response?
00:22:31I have no comment.
00:22:35No comment.
00:22:39You know,
00:22:41not all rich CEOs are assholes.
00:22:43Believe me,
00:22:45they're all aggressive narcissists.
00:22:47I've seen way too many of them.
00:22:49That's why I just want a regular guy like you.
00:22:51Okay.
00:22:53I don't think she's going to like me
00:22:55if I tell her who I am.
00:22:57That's right.
00:23:00So,
00:23:02how much did she pay you to be her fake husband?
00:23:04Oh, like, uh,
00:23:06$100 a day.
00:23:08Boy, you've really gotten desperate, huh?
00:23:10Hiring some nobody
00:23:12to pretend to be your husband just to cheat us?
00:23:14Just so you could comply
00:23:16to the will
00:23:18and take over the company?
00:23:20That's very clever.
00:23:22How many times do I have to tell you
00:23:24that this is my mother's company
00:23:26so it belongs to me?
00:23:29Let's go.
00:23:35Chris,
00:23:37thank you for standing by me.
00:23:39You married me for a business deal
00:23:41and didn't tell me?
00:23:43It wasn't
00:23:45for a business deal.
00:23:47It was a lawyer thing.
00:23:49I had to get married by next week
00:23:51or else I wouldn't have been able to inherit my mother's company.
00:23:53I'm such
00:23:55an idiot.
00:23:57What?
00:23:59It wasn't
00:24:01a fake marriage.
00:24:03Don't go!
00:24:05He's a fireman?
00:24:07Oh, that is hot.
00:24:09Oh, he's incredibly
00:24:11hot, even though he's not an actual
00:24:13firefighter. She thinks you're hot
00:24:15and you saved her life.
00:24:17That's a pretty good start.
00:24:19So, he saved your life and then you told him
00:24:21you needed a husband for the inheritance
00:24:23and then he said... Actually, I didn't
00:24:26tell 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
00:24:36I escaped the 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. It was more than a kiss.
00:24:44It was melting into him.
00:24:46She makes me feel like she's melting into me.
00:24:48I've never had anybody
00:24:50make me feel that way before.
00:24:52But then to find out that she wasn't being honest
00:24:54You can still fix this, Margaret.
00:24:56Go talk to him.
00:24:58No!
00:25:00Talk to her.
00:25:02No! She was hiding things from me.
00:25:04What about you?
00:25:06I told her the truth, that I am not a
00:25:08firefighter, but 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?
00:25:16I 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.
00:25:23Do you want to shut her out? Really?
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.
00:25:31You need to open up to him.
00:25:47Thank you guys. I appreciate it.
00:25:49You're doing our part.
00:25:52Boss!
00:25:54Hi!
00:26:12Hi, Chris.
00:26:14I know you're
00:26:16busy with the fires.
00:26:18Hi, Margaret.
00:26:20I have something I need to tell you.
00:26:22Now is probably not the best time.
00:26:24I just wanted to say that I'm sorry.
00:26:26I know that you're upset with me.
00:26:28I didn't mean to keep things from you.
00:26:30Everything just started happening so fast.
00:26:32I don't expect you to forgive me,
00:26:34but I needed
00:26:36you 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.
00:26:59Do not do that again.
00:27:01I...
00:27:03Just stay away, okay?
00:27:09Just stay away, okay?
00:27:11If you want to
00:27:13contact me, call me
00:27:15and tell me where to meet you,
00:27:17but please let it be a safe place.
00:27:19Do you want me to contact you?
00:27:21I certainly don't want you driving around a red zone.
00:27:23It's far too dangerous.
00:27:25Right.
00:27:27I'll be more careful next time.
00:27:29Will there be a next time?
00:27:33Listen, I didn't exactly
00:27:35tell you everything about me either, okay?
00:27:37Wow, you were so mad
00:27:39that you took your ring off, huh?
00:27:43But when I saw you in that fire
00:27:45and then afterwards
00:27:47you kissed me.
00:27:49Okay, wait. Let's get one thing clear.
00:27:51I don't just go around kissing strange guys, okay?
00:27:53I know. Of course.
00:27:55Of course not.
00:27:57It was a special circumstance.
00:27:59I'm sure I'm never gonna do
00:28:01anything like that in my life ever again.
00:28:03I know. It's just that
00:28:05my financial situation is not what...
00:28:17How do you do that?
00:28:19Do that thing
00:28:21where you make me melt into you?
00:28:23Me?
00:28:25I thought you did that.
00:28:27Isn't that what you do?
00:28:29No, it just happens.
00:28:31It's never happened to me before,
00:28:33but it only happens when I'm with you.
00:28:35We were talking about something.
00:28:37What was that again?
00:28:39Uh-huh. Money.
00:28:41Right.
00:28:43Money.
00:28:45Money.
00:28:47Money.
00:28:49Money.
00:28:51Money.
00:28:53Money.
00:28:55Money.
00:28:57Money.
00:28:59Money.
00:29:01Money.
00:29:03Right.
00:29:05Money. Oh, my God. Who cares about money?
00:29:07I don't care if you're poor
00:29:09or 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
00:29:17and my stepmother, and you've seen them.
00:29:19They're like a cross between Rita Repulsive
00:29:21and Mr. Krabs.
00:29:23Okay, but you don't think every rich person
00:29:25is 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? You're not gonna
00:29:35abandon me because I'm...
00:29:37poor?
00:29:39You are the most handsome,
00:29:41smartest man that I have ever met.
00:29:43I will never abandon you.
00:29:45Let's just...
00:29:47They will be
00:29:49totally honest with each other from now on.
00:29:51Promise?
00:29:53Yes.
00:30:01What's next?
00:30:11Here's your new home, my husband.
00:30:13I am a lucky guy.
00:30:15Come on in.
00:30:23Sorry about the space.
00:30:25My company's struggling a little bit, so...
00:30:27It's a bit modest, but...
00:30:29No, don't!
00:30:31Oh!
00:30:33Stop it! Stop it!
00:30:35Oh!
00:30:39I'm sorry.
00:30:41Um...
00:30:43I could fix your pipes for you
00:30:45so that it doesn't explode again.
00:30:47Sure, of course.
00:30:55He's so hot.
00:31:05This will be all good.
00:31:09I'm sorry.
00:31:11It's okay.
00:31:13It's okay.
00:31:15It's okay.
00:31:17It will be all good.
00:31:21So...
00:31:23So...
00:31:47So...
00:32:03Sorry.
00:32:05I've got to take it. It's work.
00:32:07I know.
00:32:09This better be important.
00:32:11That's a big move.
00:32:13I'll see what I can do.
00:32:15Sorry. I've got to go to work.
00:32:17What?
00:32:19I know.
00:32:21Chris, what is it you actually do for a living?
00:32:29So, you're making a fire suppressant
00:32:31because you work for Morcorp?
00:32:33Kind of.
00:32:35That's so cool.
00:32:37And it's going to stop the wildfires?
00:32:39We hope so.
00:32:41My team...
00:32:43Our team has been
00:32:45making some progress this week,
00:32:47but we're supposed to roll it out this weekend,
00:32:49so there's not much time.
00:32:51Geez.
00:32:53I didn't know. You should have told me.
00:32:55I tried.
00:32:57Well, I'm sure you can do it, Chris.
00:32:59I'm rooting for you.
00:33:01You know, I'm not used to having someone at home
00:33:03rooting for me.
00:33:05It's new, but...
00:33:09It's nice.
00:33:13Okay.
00:34:13I'll be right there.
00:34:23Something wrong? What happened?
00:34:25What happened is...
00:34:29We did it.
00:34:35We did it.
00:34:39It worked.
00:34:41This is going to save lives.
00:34:43Oh.
00:34:45Shoot.
00:34:47I have to go meet with the fire captain.
00:34:49Says it's the big test. We have to prove this suppressant works.
00:34:51I'll see you later.
00:34:59Yes!
00:35:01The fires are going out.
00:35:03We are kicking this fire's ass.
00:35:05I 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.
00:35:33Stop whatever you're doing
00:35:35and tell those choppers to load
00:35:37the fire suppressant from Foster Corporation.
00:35:39No.
00:35:41We just tested a fire suppressant from Moorcorp.
00:35:43It's superior to that crap
00:35:45you've been sending us.
00:35:47L.A. is burning.
00:35:49We don't have time for your city hall bullshit.
00:35:51And I don't have time for your insubordination.
00:35:53How much kickback are you making from this, Madam Mayor?
00:35:55How many houses need to burn down
00:35:57in order for you to make a profit
00:35:59off of the bogus chemicals that don't even work?
00:36:01I gave you an order.
00:36:03Load my fire suppressant
00:36:05or you're fired.
00:36:07Good. Fired.
00:36:09Because I will not be responsible
00:36:11for your disaster.
00:36:13Your wish is granted.
00:36:15You're fired.
00:36:19This is the end of Chief Taylor.
00:36:21No.
00:36:23I 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.
00:36:35Okay.
00:36:37Our deal has changed.
00:36:39One-third is not enough.
00:36:41I want a two-third cut.
00:36:43I need to make some money off of this thing.
00:36:45Don't you look so glum?
00:36:47I'm gonna make you
00:36:49CEO of Foster, Inc.
00:36:51I got a new plan.
00:36:53Come on.
00:36:55The door won't open itself.
00:36:57The door won't open itself.
00:37:05Congratulations on your victory.
00:37:07I'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.
00:37:15We're finished.
00:37:17She's the whole city
00:37:19holding back her up.
00:37:21Hey, don't let them scare you.
00:37:23Bureaucrats like to live in little protected hives.
00:37:25Once you crack those hives open,
00:37:27they scatter like roaches
00:37:29looking for the nearest drainpipe.
00:37:33Boss, I think your dad
00:37:35set up a board meeting behind your back
00:37:37for tomorrow.
00:37:39Copy that.
00:37:43Great.
00:37:45My biological father is about to ambush me.
00:37:47So it seems
00:37:49like we have a common enemy.
00:37:51And?
00:37:53I want to do you the favor
00:37:55of destroying him.
00:37:57How? Do you want me to put you on
00:37:59the board of directors of that?
00:38:01No, no. I want to be your assistant.
00:38:03What?
00:38:05I'm gonna be your boss?
00:38:07Mm-hmm.
00:38:09I'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.
00:38:21I don't care what the will says.
00:38:23Even the mayor wants Margaret out.
00:38:25Shouldn't Margaret be here
00:38:27to at least speak for herself?
00:38:29Don't be dense.
00:38:31Margaret will be out before she knows what hit her.
00:38:33And Caitlin will be in.
00:38:35Any board meeting without my approval
00:38:37is illegal.
00:38:39You are not authorized.
00:38:41She is fully authorized.
00:38:43What the hell?
00:38:45Not you again.
00:38:47This is a board meeting
00:38:49of Foster Incorporated.
00:38:51Right. Well, why don't you all help me welcome
00:38:53our newest employee?
00:38:55I put Chris on the payroll this morning.
00:38:57He's my new personal assistant.
00:38:59That's trash.
00:39:01Assistant of what?
00:39:03Cleaning toilets?
00:39:05Oh, my God.
00:39:07Margaret, this is just so like you.
00:39:09Soling our company
00:39:11with your low-life husband.
00:39:13Well, I'm glad you acknowledge me
00:39:15as Margaret's husband,
00:39:17but I have something else to say on our agenda.
00:39:19Section 12.3.C.
00:39:21Margaret Foster will inherit
00:39:23Foster Inc.
00:39:25so long as she is married
00:39:27by the designated date.
00:39:29So, this
00:39:31means that Margaret is now the owner
00:39:33of Foster Incorporated.
00:39:35From now on, you ought to call her
00:39:37Madam CEO.
00:39:39No.
00:39:41When are you gonna get me one of those?
00:39:43When you hit some class.
00:39:45Come on, pal. We're gonna take him out right now.
00:39:49It doesn't change anything.
00:39:51That's right. This company
00:39:53has 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
00:39:59is sitting right here in this room.
00:40:01Me
00:40:03and my brilliant new man.
00:40:05Steel can turn this company around
00:40:07like that.
00:40:09Tell them, honey.
00:40:11Get rid of her,
00:40:13double the company's revenue in four months.
00:40:15Backed by the mayor.
00:40:17My mom.
00:40:19The mayor herself.
00:40:21That's exactly
00:40:23what we need.
00:40:25I like when you take control.
00:40:27Hold on.
00:40:29Margaret and I can also increase
00:40:31Foster Incorporated's revenues.
00:40:33He's going
00:40:35to double the revenue in four months.
00:40:37No one else can match it.
00:40:39Oh, we can.
00:40:41Chris, what are you saying?
00:40:43Stick with me, okay?
00:40:45What I'm about to say is a promise.
00:40:47A guarantee.
00:40:49Mr. Davis, you claim that you can
00:40:51double revenues in four
00:40:53months.
00:40:55Yes, I can. We will increase revenues
00:40:57tenfold
00:40:59in only one
00:41:01month.
00:41:03Ah, shit.
00:41:09In only
00:41:11one month.
00:41:13Ah, shit.
00:41:15No one can beat that.
00:41:17It's crazy.
00:41:19We can't make that kind of promise.
00:41:21It's impossible.
00:41:23Follow my lead.
00:41:25This
00:41:27is ludicrous.
00:41:29How the hell is a homeless deadbeat
00:41:31going to increase company revenue?
00:41:33Margaret is a master of outreach.
00:41:35She will set up a strategic partnership
00:41:37with the Moore Corporation.
00:41:39The Moore Corporation has operations
00:41:41in every country in the world.
00:41:43They won't even take a phone call
00:41:45from Margaret.
00:41:47Oh, but they already have.
00:41:49In fact, the manager has set up a meeting
00:41:51for Margaret tomorrow.
00:41:53Yeah, that's
00:41:55bullshit. Moore Corp would never work
00:41:57with a nobody like Margaret.
00:41:59Well,
00:42:01there is no harm to let her try.
00:42:03What?
00:42:05You'd better not disappoint us, Margaret.
00:42:07Okay, let's just make this
00:42:09straight here, okay?
00:42:11Margaret, you
00:42:13have one month to deliver Moore Corp
00:42:15and make this company's revenue
00:42:17what, tenfold, you said?
00:42:19One month, or else the will
00:42:21is null and void
00:42:23and you
00:42:25disappear
00:42:27Correct.
00:42:29Agreed.
00:42:33Oh, you dug your own
00:42:35grave, sis.
00:42:37One month from now, we're going to kick you to the gutter
00:42:39where you belong, with your gutter
00:42:41husband.
00:42:53Chris, you can't make up stories like this.
00:42:55God, I'm going to lose my mother's
00:42:57company.
00:42:59Why did you tell them that they scheduled
00:43:01a meeting? Because I did.
00:43:05Moore Corp is expecting you.
00:43:07Tomorrow. They are?
00:43:09You're, you're not joking?
00:43:11No. Oh my god,
00:43:13Chris, that's amazing!
00:43:15By the way,
00:43:17his rings, they almost
00:43:19look real. Yeah.
00:43:21Almost.
00:43:23Wow.
00:43:33Calm down.
00:43:35We're not going to let your daughter
00:43:37beat you. There's no way she can
00:43:39beat me. Moore Corp should never work with
00:43:41a nobody like her, right?
00:43:43Or what if she makes it happen?
00:43:45Then we'll stop her. How?
00:43:47Gina,
00:43:49I'm sending over the contact
00:43:51info for Christopher Moore,
00:43:53the CEO of Moore Corporation.
00:43:55Tell his office
00:43:57the mayor is coming to see him
00:43:59tomorrow. I expect him to be
00:44:01there.
00:44:03Either Mr. Moore
00:44:05does what I tell him to do,
00:44:07or I'll shut down his
00:44:09operations in the city.
00:44:11That'd be a
00:44:13multi-billion dollar loss for him.
00:44:15Christopher Moore
00:44:17guy is a real mystery man.
00:44:19No public appearances.
00:44:21And let's not forget,
00:44:23we rejected his
00:44:25fire suppressants, so he's probably
00:44:27pretty pissed off at us. Don't worry
00:44:29about that. We'll find out
00:44:31who he is and how to get to him.
00:44:33That's my specialty.
00:44:39I've never met
00:44:41a guy like him.
00:44:43I've never met
00:44:45with the management of a global corporation
00:44:47before. Who knows?
00:44:49Maybe you have and you just didn't know it.
00:44:51I'd know. They're all assholes.
00:44:53You see them coming from a mile away.
00:44:59This PowerPoint
00:45:01isn't quite ready
00:45:03yet, I don't think.
00:45:05We need to grab their attention
00:45:07right away.
00:45:09And the flowery writing,
00:45:11it's a business
00:45:13meeting, not a poetry club.
00:45:15I mean, have you heard
00:45:17of bullet points? Okay,
00:45:19alright, alright. Well, why don't you show
00:45:21me what you would do?
00:45:23The presentation.
00:45:27Like the pink?
00:45:29I don't think they're
00:45:31going to like me very much.
00:45:33The CEO loves
00:45:35you. The CEO
00:45:37of Moorgorm? How could he love
00:45:39me? I've never even met the guy.
00:45:41I mean, he knows
00:45:43you. I've
00:45:45mentioned you to him
00:45:47before. Whoa, Chris,
00:45:49you know the CEO? Who
00:45:51are you? I'm just
00:45:53a nobody. You're not a
00:45:55nobody, you're my husband.
00:46:03It's just that these guys
00:46:05don't have the attention spans. Reed, you're
00:46:07poetic. For the business proposal, we could do something
00:46:09along the lines of...
00:46:17Today, we
00:46:19are going to be talking about... Do you feel
00:46:21like you're giving a school presentation?
00:46:23Or playing Twisted?
00:46:25I'm dramatic vet.
00:46:27I'm pulling their attention. You are, exactly.
00:46:29It's acting.
00:46:31Good, good.
00:46:33Talking about my presentation that I have.
00:46:37Yeah.
00:46:45Good morning,
00:46:47boss.
00:46:49I mean, boxes
00:46:51of mints are on the table if you'd like
00:46:53to 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. It's nice to meet you.
00:47:01I think I've heard your voice before.
00:47:03Oh, of course. We work
00:47:05closely together, and he's
00:47:07my...
00:47:09manager.
00:47:15Do you feel right? I think so.
00:47:21I need you to sit with me.
00:47:23We have an agreement
00:47:25to sign. She still doesn't
00:47:27know who you are.
00:47:29Copy that. I'll set up the meeting now.
00:47:31Oh, and the mayor wants to meet you.
00:47:33Of course she does. She's in the office now.
00:47:35What a surprise.
00:47:37Surprise! What's a surprise?
00:47:41Surprise!
00:47:43What's a surprise?
00:47:45Someone else wants a meeting, but the mayor
00:47:47just wouldn't have to wait.
00:47:55We have been waiting here
00:47:57for half an hour.
00:47:59Yes, that's because you didn't make
00:48:01an appointment in advance.
00:48:03I am the mayor. I know who you are.
00:48:05We all do.
00:48:07My cousin lost her home in the fires.
00:48:09Don't you have more
00:48:11important things to do right now?
00:48:13How dare you!
00:48:15You are just a
00:48:17useless office girl.
00:48:19Now, tell Mr. Moore
00:48:21that I insist...
00:48:31Good morning, Mr. Moore.
00:48:33That's him.
00:48:37Oh, my God.
00:48:39Can you believe
00:48:41they let common street trash
00:48:43in a beautiful building like this?
00:48:45Excuse me,
00:48:47why did you call him Mr. Moore?
00:48:53Oh, no, no.
00:48:55I was just saying,
00:48:57Mr. There's More,
00:48:59like, more mints in the waiting room.
00:49:01What is with the mints here?
00:49:03We've got really good mints.
00:49:05Kids, don't worry about it.
00:49:07I might have underestimated you, okay?
00:49:09But don't you get delusional.
00:49:11Whoever you're meeting has to be a low-level lackey.
00:49:13Let's get real.
00:49:15The mayor and I are meeting the CEO.
00:49:17Stop.
00:49:19Which means you have zero chance
00:49:21of ever beating me.
00:49:23Got it?
00:49:25Ahem.
00:49:27Mr. Moore is on his way.
00:49:29Do you mind waiting here just a bit longer?
00:49:31Sorry your meeting got delayed
00:49:33while mine was right on the dot.
00:49:35You see, my husband and I
00:49:37made a presentation together.
00:49:39It's very professional.
00:49:41Do you think Moore Corp is really gonna like it?
00:49:45I'm taking three.
00:49:49Meant to be.
00:49:51How dare she?
00:49:53Fine.
00:49:55We wait.
00:49:57But he better be here soon.
00:49:59I mean, of course.
00:50:01After all, you're the mayor.
00:50:03Thank you all
00:50:05for meeting with me today.
00:50:07My name is Barbara Foster.
00:50:21And I would love to work with you.
00:50:31Congratulations.
00:50:33He still isn't here?
00:50:35This is outrageous!
00:50:37Mr. Moore is on the way,
00:50:39but you know,
00:50:41LA traffic plus the fires
00:50:43make it even worse.
00:50:45Excuse me.
00:50:51Sorry to interrupt
00:50:53your indignation,
00:50:55but do you have a sheet protector that I could use?
00:50:57I just signed a contract
00:50:59and I don't want to get it stained or anything.
00:51:01Congratulations, Ms. Foster.
00:51:03Yeah, okay, quit playing games.
00:51:05You didn't sign any contract.
00:51:07Well, unfortunately for you, I did.
00:51:09And it's for a hundred million
00:51:11dollar deal.
00:51:13Bullshit.
00:51:17Not bad.
00:51:19Looks like I will be the CEO of Foster Inc. after all.
00:51:23You must be so proud
00:51:25of your daughter, Dad.
00:51:27Call me that!
00:51:29I will not let you do this.
00:51:31By the way,
00:51:33what are your friends showing up for?
00:51:35Three, two, one.
00:51:41Madam Mayor,
00:51:43what do you have to say about the new fire that just broke out?
00:51:45Oh no, not again.
00:51:49You'll have to schedule
00:51:51an 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.
00:51:57Tell us, why aren't you out there
00:51:59stopping the fires? What do you have to say?
00:52:01It is completely unfair
00:52:03that you are judging me.
00:52:05I am working every minute on this.
00:52:07But you rejected
00:52:09Moor 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?
00:52:17Stock options?
00:52:19Oh, Mr. Foster,
00:52:21it's you.
00:52:23We got a tip that you have
00:52:25an under-the-table deal with Madam Mayor.
00:52:27And that your fire suppressant
00:52:29doesn't even work.
00:52:31That is
00:52:33complete nonsense. Complete
00:52:35nonsense, that is.
00:52:37This is a witch hunt.
00:52:39Madam Mayor, just one more.
00:52:41Ask her why she canned the fire chief
00:52:43while her son is collecting millions
00:52:45as a paid consultant for city contractors.
00:52:47So much corruption,
00:52:49so little time.
00:52:51Let's go.
00:52:53Madam Mayor, just one more.
00:52:55For the people. Last question about the
00:52:57personal record.
00:52:59Why aren't you
00:53:01out there trying to stop the fires?
00:53:03It is completely
00:53:05unfair for you to judge me.
00:53:07I have been working on this every day.
00:53:09One of our eyewitness team
00:53:11members has found a secret ledger
00:53:13showing the city is paying triple for the fire
00:53:15suppressant. You know,
00:53:17you were perfect
00:53:19in today's meeting.
00:53:21Yeah, but the CEO, Mr.
00:53:23Moore, didn't show up. I wonder
00:53:25what he's like.
00:53:27Probably
00:53:29just some rich a-hole.
00:53:31That's what you said,
00:53:33remember? Yeah, but
00:53:35his company's actually doing good things.
00:53:37I kind of want to meet him.
00:53:39I don't know if that's a great idea.
00:53:41He's a bachelor,
00:53:43you know? He, uh,
00:53:45might try to steal you
00:53:47from me. Oh, that is not gonna
00:53:49happen.
00:53:51I felt you
00:53:53supporting me today, Chris.
00:53:55All day.
00:53:57I haven't felt that support since my mom passed away.
00:53:59I'm sorry you had to go through
00:54:01that. I know it must have been a very
00:54:03dark time.
00:54:05She was my rock.
00:54:07I can be the rock of your life now.
00:54:11I want to be the person you lean on
00:54:13when you need it.
00:54:15You know, sometimes
00:54:17I just want to rip your clothes off
00:54:19and drag you to bed, and other times I just want
00:54:21to get closer and feel your heart beating
00:54:23next to mine.
00:54:33My heart is racing
00:54:35for you.
00:54:47For you.
00:54:49I don't know where you've been
00:54:51but I'm glad that you're here.
00:54:53Let me take you by the hand.
00:54:55It's easy to
00:54:57ask for.
00:54:59Girl, it's our time.
00:55:01Just you and
00:55:03I don't know
00:55:05how to
00:55:07love you.
00:55:09I'll do it right.
00:55:11We've got our way.
00:55:13I'll take you so
00:55:15high.
00:55:17Baby, let me
00:55:19love you.
00:55:21Let me love you.
00:55:23Baby, let me love you.
00:55:31You killed it, Margaret.
00:55:33You're a rock star.
00:55:35We're with you, Margaret.
00:55:37Always. You see?
00:55:39Everyone's with you now.
00:55:41No one supports you now
00:55:43because this is a bogus
00:55:45agreement. It's a publicity
00:55:47stunt. Can't you see?
00:55:49Like anyone's gonna give her
00:55:51a hundred million dollars.
00:55:53Oh my gosh.
00:56:07Put me through to finance.
00:56:09We need to make a bank transfer.
00:56:11You know that my suppressant is better than
00:56:13more companies?
00:56:15They're gonna cut Margaret off like
00:56:17that.
00:56:19Oh, so
00:56:21who are you
00:56:23supporting now?
00:56:27Are you sure
00:56:29Moral Corp is not going to pass?
00:56:35Are you sure
00:56:37Moral Corp is not going to pass?
00:56:39A hundred percent.
00:56:41Why would they shell out cash
00:56:43to someone like that?
00:56:45Because a down payment
00:56:47of thirty million dollars
00:56:49just landed in our corporate account
00:56:51from Moral Corp.
00:56:53Oh, wrong
00:56:55again, Dad.
00:56:57Seems like you're making a real
00:56:59habit of it.
00:57:01Just you wait. Once they see
00:57:03that my suppressant is superior,
00:57:05all this
00:57:07gonna be all gone.
00:57:09Margaret,
00:57:11we 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.
00:57:27Today's the day
00:57:29that we prove our suppressant is superior
00:57:31once and for all.
00:57:33Get those stupid reporters off our backs.
00:57:35And as the new
00:57:37fire chief, you know what your job
00:57:39is, right?
00:57:41Fight the fires?
00:57:43No.
00:57:45Make sure
00:57:47you follow my commands.
00:57:51It's them.
00:57:55How did you know they were gonna be here?
00:57:57Are you some kind of spy?
00:58:01Are you some kind of spy?
00:58:03Hey, I'm
00:58:05just a regular guy.
00:58:07That's what you said. That's why you like me.
00:58:09Remember? Well, for a regular
00:58:11guy, you sure do have a lot of inside
00:58:13information. I just know they ordered a chopper
00:58:15today, off record, and
00:58:17I wanna know why.
00:58:19There it is.
00:58:21Oh.
00:58:35Oh.
00:58:37No, that's not fire
00:58:39suppressant. It's more like fire
00:58:41starter. Call the
00:58:43chopper and tell them to stop dropping it.
00:58:45Oh, my God.
00:58:47It's too late.
00:58:49The payloads have all been dropped.
00:58:51Good God, it's coming
00:58:53our direction. You're an idiot.
00:58:55If this reaches us, everything
00:58:57here's gonna blow sky high.
00:58:59Oh.
00:59:01Oh.
00:59:03How do half-wits like this get control of the city?
00:59:05We've gotta do something about this.
00:59:07How?
00:59:09I'll figure something out, but first, I gotta get you to safety.
00:59:11Come on.
00:59:13Come on.
00:59:17For now, I just want you to
00:59:19stay here and be careful.
00:59:21You need to be careful, too, Chris.
00:59:23You're not fireproof, you know.
00:59:27What are you doing here?
00:59:29Step ahead of you. Thought you might need my help.
00:59:31Okay. Thank you.
00:59:33Yeah, I've got a few things you can do for me.
00:59:35You've got stuff
00:59:37to do for him? But I thought he
00:59:39was your manager. He is,
00:59:41but the thing is,
00:59:43I'm
00:59:45as your manager, I have to
00:59:47look after my employees.
00:59:49I might even give you a raise next
00:59:51year, Chris.
00:59:55Just stay here.
00:59:57Keep a watch on the fire alerts, okay?
00:59:59I will call my people
01:00:01to protect you.
01:00:05Tomorrow.
01:00:09Call Capstone Fire.
01:00:11Have them come to Margaret's house immediately.
01:00:13Really? You didn't even do that for your own house,
01:00:15which is worth, like, a hundred million dollars.
01:00:17Just do it, okay?
01:00:19Okay. I'm only saying
01:00:21her house is worth, like, half a million.
01:00:23The cost of the service is probably
01:00:25It's not always about money, Whitman.
01:00:27Okay. Call them right now.
01:00:31You're paying the bill.
01:00:33It's going to be an expensive call.
01:00:43Fire protection service?
01:00:45Where'd they come from?
01:00:51You screwed this up!
01:00:53I could bankrupt you
01:00:55like that! Hold on.
01:00:57I know how to fix all of this with just two words.
01:00:59Moor Corp.
01:01:01Okay?
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?
01:01:11They blocked our calls. We can't get to them.
01:01:13Yeah, we can't.
01:01:15But Margaret can.
01:01:19And she is still my daughter.
01:01:25My critics are politically motivated.
01:01:27We have the fires
01:01:29completely under control.
01:01:31This is bullshit.
01:01:33I grew up in Los Angeles.
01:01:35I played in these parks and in these playgrounds.
01:01:45Not to watch it all burn down
01:01:47because these fools won't use a fire suppressant that works.
01:01:49Margaret!
01:01:57I hope you don't mind
01:01:59me interrupting, Mr. Whitman.
01:02:01Huh?
01:02:03Oh, yes.
01:02:05Well, yes, it's my office.
01:02:07But, you know, if it's important.
01:02:09It is.
01:02:11Chris, my father called.
01:02:13He wants something.
01:02:17My 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.
01:02:25Maybe not this time.
01:02:27He wants to call a truce.
01:02:33It's very unusual
01:02:35for Mr. Moore to grant a meeting
01:02:37on such short notice.
01:02:39We'll need to be quick.
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.
01:02:47Talk.
01:02:49Well, uh,
01:02:51to be a vendor in this city,
01:02:53you have to go through lots of protocols.
01:02:55That takes time.
01:02:57We don't have time.
01:02:59Exactly!
01:03:01You see,
01:03:03Mr. Foster's company is already
01:03:05an approved vendor.
01:03:07And so...
01:03:09So we sell to Mr. Foster, he sells to the city.
01:03:11We can't let anyone know.
01:03:13Do I have that right?
01:03:15You are fast, Mr. Moore.
01:03:17So, what's your price?
01:03:19Free.
01:03:21But you have to answer this one question.
01:03:23Why are you doing this?
01:03:27Well,
01:03:29we were just concerned for the city.
01:03:31Cut the bullshit!
01:03:33Speak to me straight
01:03:35or get out.
01:03:37Okay.
01:03:39Okay.
01:03:41Let's put our cards on the table.
01:03:45We'll put our cards on the table.
01:03:47We're doing this
01:03:49because
01:03:51our fire suppressant
01:03:53didn't work.
01:03:55It made the fires worse.
01:03:57If the public finds out,
01:03:59we're screwed.
01:04:01So, we'd like to use
01:04:03the Moore Corps fire suppressant,
01:04:05but you can't tell anyone.
01:04:07They have to believe
01:04:09we made it.
01:04:11If you agree,
01:04:13I will guarantee permission
01:04:15for the shopping mall you applied for
01:04:17in downtown L.A.
01:04:19Deal?
01:04:21Deal.
01:04:23We'll deliver
01:04:252,000 tons of the suppressant
01:04:27this afternoon,
01:04:29but you must deploy it immediately.
01:04:31Fine.
01:04:33Just to confirm,
01:04:35what's the price?
01:04:37Zero.
01:04:39You
01:04:41don't pay a penny.
01:04:43Well, that sounds like a win-win.
01:04:45Cut the formalities.
01:04:47We're done here.
01:04:53Okay.
01:04:55Thanks.
01:04:59This guy's a prime idiot.
01:05:01He chose for free.
01:05:03He's a billionaire,
01:05:05you fool.
01:05:07He doesn't care about small money.
01:05:09I knew he wanted to build that mall.
01:05:11That's how I got it.
01:05:13I don't understand.
01:05:15Why did you give it to them for free?
01:05:17Because
01:05:19I got exactly what I wanted.
01:05:23Our fire suppressant
01:05:25didn't work.
01:05:27It made the fires worse.
01:05:35It's been an hour.
01:05:37Why haven't we gotten any word?
01:05:39It's been 20 minutes.
01:05:41The pilots need time to convert.
01:05:43Mrs. Mayor, it worked.
01:05:45It's like a miracle.
01:05:47Moor Corp's suppressant is...
01:05:49Don't say Moor Corp.
01:05:51No one is to know
01:05:53where it's from.
01:05:55As far as the world is concerned,
01:05:57it's our suppressant.
01:06:01Got it?
01:06:03Yes, got it.
01:06:05No problem.
01:06:07You know how much money
01:06:09this is going to make us?
01:06:13You are going to be known
01:06:15as the mayor who
01:06:17saved the city.
01:06:19And you
01:06:21are going to win the next election
01:06:23by a landslide.
01:06:25Exactly.
01:06:33Gina,
01:06:35arrange a press conference for tomorrow.
01:06:37We're going to let everyone know
01:06:39I saved Los Angeles.
01:06:49Every news outlet
01:06:51is saying the same thing.
01:06:53It's not a fluke.
01:06:55The first time in a week,
01:06:57the fires are retreating.
01:06:59What about the suppressant?
01:07:01They've dropped all of it,
01:07:03the winds have even died down.
01:07:05It's like nature is on our side now.
01:07:07Finally.
01:07:13Finally.
01:07:17The mayor is calling a press conference.
01:07:19You know she's going to take credit for stopping the fires.
01:07:21I know she's going to try.
01:07:23Oh!
01:07:25What about Marguerite?
01:07:27This is not good, boss.
01:07:29She really thinks I run Moor Corp.
01:07:31I don't know why,
01:07:33you are entirely unconvincing.
01:07:35Totally convincing.
01:07:37What you need
01:07:39is some acting classes.
01:07:41Don't you think it's time
01:07:43to let her in on this?
01:07:45As a matter of fact,
01:07:47I've got it all planned out for tonight.
01:07:49One step ahead of you, boss.
01:07:53Marguerite,
01:07:55I have to tell you something.
01:07:57Is my father trying to sabotage me again?
01:07:59No, it's not like that.
01:08:01It's about your husband.
01:08:13My husband, he is totally overprotective.
01:08:15You know that I had to convince him
01:08:17that it was safe enough for me
01:08:19to come into my own office.
01:08:21Marguerite, it's about those rings.
01:08:29I have a surprise
01:08:31for you tonight, sweetheart.
01:08:33Two dozen fresh roses,
01:08:35Noki de la Luna.
01:08:37Oh, and I can finally tell you
01:08:39those rings on your finger
01:08:41are real.
01:08:45They 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.
01:08:53There's a name for those people.
01:08:55Billionaires.
01:08:57Isabel, what are you talking about?
01:08:59Marguerite,
01:09:01I've got something to tell you.
01:09:03Now, I would have told you sooner,
01:09:05but you hate rich people so much
01:09:07that I was afraid
01:09:09you were going to get your guillotine out.
01:09:11How much do you know
01:09:13about Moore Corp's CEO, Christopher Moore?
01:09:15He's a rich guy?
01:09:17Who never met with you
01:09:19because he doesn't make public appearances.
01:09:21I don't know.
01:09:23Because he doesn't make public appearances.
01:09:25Yeah.
01:09:27So?
01:09:29Do you remember that private investigator
01:09:31we used to look into that auditing glitch last year?
01:09:33Good God, Isabel, would you just tell me
01:09:35what you're talking about?
01:09:37I asked the PI to trace known records of Moore.
01:09:39There was very little there.
01:09:41But he did find one tidbit.
01:09:43Moore purchased
01:09:45some jewelry.
01:09:47Okay, yeah, rich guys
01:09:49buy jewelry, so what?
01:09:51So,
01:09:53this is what he bought.
01:09:55Look familiar?
01:09:57Yeah, those look like my rings.
01:09:59So, he bought the real ones
01:10:01and Chris bought copies.
01:10:03This is the ledger entry.
01:10:05Look at the date.
01:10:07He bought these in LA
01:10:09the same day that Chris gave you those.
01:10:17So that means my husband
01:10:19is Christopher Moore?
01:10:21So,
01:10:23you're making a fire suppressant
01:10:25because you work for Moore Corp?
01:10:27Kind of.
01:10:29Margaret is a master of outreach.
01:10:31She will set up a strategic partnership
01:10:33with the Moore Corporation.
01:10:35Good morning, Mr. Moore.
01:10:37I trusted him.
01:10:39How many times am I going to be lied to in my life?
01:10:41Margaret, your husband's a billionaire.
01:10:43Who cares about you?
01:10:45Every woman in LA wants to be you.
01:10:47You're wrong.
01:10:53Okay.
01:10:55Casuals in the oven, salads in the fridge,
01:10:57Jean-Pilard Beaujolais
01:10:59on the chill.
01:11:07Now I just have to pray
01:11:09that you'll listen to me with an open mind.
01:11:17Margaret,
01:11:19I have something to tell you.
01:11:23Margaret, I have something to tell you.
01:11:25Margaret, I...
01:11:29Don't say another word.
01:11:31Just leave.
01:11:35You're a liar!
01:11:47I am
01:11:49proud to announce
01:11:51that the fires that have been
01:11:53ravaging this city
01:11:55are now extinguished.
01:11:57These fires are out
01:11:59because of our brave mayor,
01:12:01Michelle Davis.
01:12:05And I just want to say thank you
01:12:07to the firefighters...
01:12:09I am the one
01:12:11who put out these fires.
01:12:15...who put out these fires.
01:12:17Girl, you really
01:12:19kicked a billionaire out of your house?
01:12:21He lied to me.
01:12:23I've had enough betrayal for an entire lifetime.
01:12:25I'm sure he had his reasons.
01:12:27He didn't mean to hurt you, Margaret.
01:12:29Yeah, well,
01:12:31it hurts anyway.
01:12:37And I would like to acknowledge
01:12:39myself for the
01:12:41courage, the vision,
01:12:43and the leadership
01:12:45that great leaders show
01:12:47when they're leading.
01:12:51Cringe.
01:12:53You cannot overstate how stupid she is.
01:12:55Can I just say one more thing?
01:12:57No, you cannot.
01:12:59The fire suppressant
01:13:01that put out the fires
01:13:03was created by me
01:13:05and deployed
01:13:07at my command.
01:13:09At your command?
01:13:11Yes, yes.
01:13:13Yes, thank you.
01:13:15It's me who saved L.A.
01:13:17Support me.
01:13:19Vote for me.
01:13:21Y'all know
01:13:23you can trust me.
01:13:27God bless...
01:13:29Ladies and gentlemen,
01:13:31excuse me.
01:13:33Everything that you have just heard
01:13:35is a fairy tale.
01:13:37Fiction.
01:13:39A lie.
01:13:41Oh, my goodness.
01:13:43Is that your billionaire husband?
01:13:49The mayor has been lying to you all.
01:13:53Pay no attention to this man.
01:13:55Security!
01:13:57Have him removed.
01:13:59Y'all pay no attention to him.
01:14:01Have him removed.
01:14:03Y'all pay no attention to this.
01:14:05There's nothing to see here.
01:14:07The firemen are the true heroes who saved this city.
01:14:09The mayor has time and time again
01:14:11tried to stop them.
01:14:13That is bullshit.
01:14:15Security! Do your jobs!
01:14:17No, no, no. Let him speak.
01:14:19It's a free country.
01:14:21Yeah, let him talk.
01:14:23Yeah, we want a statement.
01:14:25Yeah, let him talk.
01:14:27Mayor Davis, why are you afraid of this man?
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.
01:14:35And why should we listen to you?
01:14:39Because the fire suppressant that actually put out the fires
01:14:41was supplied by Moor Court.
01:14:43And I am the CEO
01:14:45of Moor Court.
01:14:49I am Christopher Moore.
01:14:51Well, he's not hiding his identity anymore.
01:14:53He's taking on the whole city.
01:14:55He's taking on the whole city.
01:14:57Instead of trying to put the fires out,
01:14:59the mayor and her collaborators
01:15:01were probably...
01:15:03I want to watch this live.
01:15:05Are you coming?
01:15:07No.
01:15:13Yes. Hold on, Isabel.
01:15:19My company has been trying to assist
01:15:21the firefighters.
01:15:23The 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.
01:15:33And time and time again tried to get in our way.
01:15:35That is not true.
01:15:37Look, I received
01:15:39a medal for all of my
01:15:41hard work in putting out those fires.
01:15:43I wouldn't have given myself
01:15:45this medal if I didn't deserve it.
01:15:47Mr. Moore, I think
01:15:49there's been a little misunderstanding.
01:15:51Andy, can I speak to you privately?
01:15:53The mayor wanted me to remind you
01:15:55about the
01:15:57mission of
01:15:59Shopping Mall.
01:16:01Oh, of course. That reminds me.
01:16:03Whitman!
01:16:05Let's play them that video we brought.
01:16:13Our fire suppressant
01:16:15didn't work.
01:16:17It made the fires worse.
01:16:19If the public finds out,
01:16:21we are screwed.
01:16:23Why are you hiding the truth
01:16:25from the citizens in your own city?
01:16:27Okay, this is a complete
01:16:29fabrication.
01:16:31Look at that. It's an AIGCD
01:16:33fake.
01:16:35I have something to say about that.
01:16:43No.
01:16:45No!
01:16:47This man has no business here.
01:16:49He was fired for dereliction
01:16:51of duty.
01:16:53Officers! Remove him!
01:16:59Are you going to stop?
01:17:03No, sir, chief.
01:17:05We'll clear the way.
01:17:07Everyone, make way for
01:17:09Chief Taylor and his men.
01:17:11They're heroes.
01:17:17Stop, then.
01:17:19That's an order.
01:17:21You've got to stop.
01:17:23You guys can't come up here.
01:17:25This is a violation.
01:17:27Don't you touch me.
01:17:31We want
01:17:33Chief Taylor reinstated.
01:17:35That's right.
01:17:37Taylor!
01:17:39Taylor!
01:17:41Taylor!
01:17:43Shut up!
01:17:45All of you are fired.
01:17:47No.
01:17:49You can't do that.
01:17:51Let him speak.
01:17:53Stop touching me.
01:17:55Ladies and gentlemen,
01:17:57the reason I was dismissed
01:17:59is because I refused
01:18:01to use the mayor's
01:18:03defective fire suppressants.
01:18:05You can't prove that.
01:18:07Actually...
01:18:15I can.
01:18:17Mayor Davis, this is a huge scandal.
01:18:19You should resign.
01:18:21Get out of here!
01:18:23No!
01:18:25Listen to me!
01:18:27Stop it!
01:18:29Stop it!
01:18:31Stop it!
01:18:39Before we wrap this up,
01:18:41I'd like to share something
01:18:43personal.
01:18:49Before we wrap this up,
01:18:51I'd like to share something
01:18:53personal with you all.
01:18:55Chief Taylor,
01:18:57if you don't mind.
01:18:59Go ahead.
01:19:01We've all lived
01:19:03through this horrible disaster.
01:19:05But in the midst of tragedy,
01:19:07sometimes you can find
01:19:09clarity, beauty,
01:19:11and even love.
01:19:13The catastrophe of these
01:19:15L.A. wildfires
01:19:17has brought much darkness.
01:19:19But it's also brought people together.
01:19:21It brought a woman
01:19:23with a beautiful heart
01:19:25into my life.
01:19:27And if I can take a moment of your time,
01:19:29I'd like to try to get a message to her.
01:19:31Margaret,
01:19:33I love you.
01:19:35It hurts
01:19:37to not be with you.
01:19:39I know I kept things from you,
01:19:41and that was not right.
01:19:43I don't expect you to forgive me,
01:19:45but if I'm being honest,
01:19:47you're the only person
01:19:49I'll ever love.
01:19:51L.A. is full of idols
01:19:53and superstars,
01:19:55but you,
01:19:57you're the only superstar
01:19:59I've ever wanted
01:20:01or will ever want.
01:20:03The fires may be out now,
01:20:05but there's a fire in my heart
01:20:07that will never
01:20:09stop burning.
01:20:11It will burn forever
01:20:13for you.
01:20:17So,
01:20:19if you can find it in your heart to forgive me,
01:20:21no matter how much time it takes,
01:20:23I will be waiting.
01:20:25I don't know where you are,
01:20:27but I hope
01:20:29somehow
01:20:31you've heard my message.
01:20:35I heard it.
01:20:41Margaret,
01:20:43last time you proposed to me,
01:20:45now I'm proposing to you.
01:20:53Margaret,
01:20:55will you marry me
01:20:57and be my wife?
01:21:05Yes.
01:21:07Yes.
01:21:33You're doing the melting thing again.
01:21:35You were doing it?
01:21:37Heh.
01:21:41Mom, it's not good.
01:21:42Christopher Moore's accusing you of embezzlement,
01:21:44money laundering, securities fraud?
01:21:48I will make his life a living hell!
01:21:51Michelle Davis, you're under arrest
01:21:54on 12 counts of corruption.
01:21:55Are you insane?
01:21:58You just committed career suicide.
01:22:01You're fired.
01:22:03You're on fire.
01:22:04Get your hands off of her!
01:22:05She's the mayor, and you are under arrest
01:22:07for 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!
01:22:14Mom, you're gonna regret this.
01:22:18Hurry up, we need to run.
01:22:19The police will be here soon.
01:22:21Why should I leave?
01:22:22I don't wanna go anywhere.
01:22:24I've got three tickets to Venezuela.
01:22:26You get to sit by the window.
01:22:28We have to rebuild our lives there.
01:22:29Don't worry, I have plenty of cash,
01:22:32and I have a buyer letter for the house.
01:22:35Apologies, but you can't sell something
01:22:38that's not rightfully yours.
01:22:41What the hell is going on, Kayla?
01:22:43You can't sell my mother's house
01:22:44because you acquired it illegally.
01:22:47No, Margaret.
01:22:50My daughter, I wasn't gonna sell it.
01:22:54It belongs to you.
01:22:55Your mother's company, her home, it's all yours.
01:22:59Chris, Mr. Moore, I'm your father-in-law.
01:23:06I'm almost 60, you don't wanna put me away, do you?
01:23:09You know, you have a good point, Dad.
01:23:13Oh, wait, you asked me specifically to not call you that.
01:23:17You know, in fact, since the day that I met you,
01:23:19you've done nothing but try to destroy your own daughter.
01:23:21No, you're paying for what you did, Dad.
01:23:25Hey, I...
01:23:26How dare you put your own father in jail?
01:23:31You are an ungrateful little bitch.
01:23:36Oh, no.
01:23:37I forgot, you can't leave the country
01:23:40until the trial's over.
01:23:50Oh, and by the way, your assets are frozen
01:23:53so you can't stay at this hotel.
01:23:55But don't worry, we've made arrangements
01:23:57for you to stay at a different place.
01:24:00What other arrangements?
01:24:02You know, that Motel 6 right around the corner?
01:24:04Ah, what?
01:24:06Oh, my God.
01:24:06No.
01:24:08No, no, no.
01:24:14Those cheating scumbags can't get their hands
01:24:16on this house ever again.
01:24:19I bet your mom was an amazing person.
01:24:21I'm sure she loved you so much.
01:24:23She always wanted me to get married in her wedding dress.
01:24:35She'd say no matter where she was,
01:24:37she'd be able to feel it, heart to heart.
01:24:40What do you think?
01:24:44I think she'd be able to feel it, too.
01:24:48I think you are so radiant
01:24:51that she can most certainly see your glow
01:24:53all the way from heaven.
01:24:54Well, if she is really looking down,
01:24:57then she'll be very glad to know
01:24:58that I found a much better man.
01:25:01And I bet she'd be so excited to know
01:25:03that I'm marrying a...
01:25:06A bodyguard?
01:25:07No, a fireman.
