00:00:00Oh no!
00:00:13How dare you make my home!
00:00:20It's my mother's home!
00:00:22She's dead.
00:00:23Your father signed the deed over to me and my daughter, Caitlin.
00:00:26So get the hell out!
00:00:27You need to get the hell out, Rubita!
00:00:29And the house is on fire!
00:00:31You expect me to believe a stupid line like that.
00:00:35The house is on fire!
00:00:40Oh my god!
00:00:42The house is on fire!
00:00:44Caitlin!
00:00:46Caitlin!
00:00:50My mother's dress.
00:00:52I have to get it.
00:00:59Caitlin!
00:01:00Shit!
00:01:01What the fuck are you doing here?
00:01:02Excuse me?
00:01:03This is my room!
00:01:05Hey!
00:01:06What's up?
00:01:07Steel!
00:01:08You're fucking my sister!
00:01:09Step-sister!
00:01:10This is your fault!
00:01:11Poor Margaret!
00:01:12While you were busy dreaming about your wedding, I was here satisfying your fiancé.
00:01:20I just made him come three times on your bed.
00:01:21You are nothing but a social climbing home-wrecking whore just like your mom!
00:01:37Babe!
00:01:38Are you okay?
00:01:39Uh-huh!
00:01:40Yeah!
00:01:41Margaret!
00:01:42You stupid fucking bitch!
00:01:44Let me be clear, you get married, you get your mom's business.
00:01:58Why else do you think I propose to you?
00:02:00Oh my god!
00:02:01You were just using me to get to my mom's company?
00:02:04You lying scumbag!
00:02:06The wedding's off!
00:02:08I hope you burn in this fire!
00:02:10Fire?
00:02:11What fire?
00:02:12Fire!
00:02:13Ah!
00:02:14Fuck!
00:02:15I need to get out!
00:02:16We need to get out!
00:02:17I should!
00:02:18I should!
00:02:19Get out!
00:02:20I should!
00:02:21I should!
00:02:22This is my wedding dress, honey.
00:02:36Promise me that you'll wear it when you get married.
00:02:39That way, I know no matter what happens, I'll be there with you on your wedding day.
00:02:46Heart to heart.
00:02:47I promise mommy.
00:02:48Mommy.
00:02:49I might not get to wear this wedding dress.
00:02:58This is my fiancee, the cheating asshole.
00:03:01Oh my god.
00:03:02I gotta get out of here.
00:03:03Oh my god.
00:03:04I gotta get out of here.
00:03:07Boss!
00:03:08The private helicopter's on the way.
00:03:09They'll airlift you out.
00:03:10Boss, the private helicopter's on the way.
00:03:20They'll airlift you out.
00:03:21You take the airlift.
00:03:22I'm gonna go check on the neighbors.
00:03:23What? No, boss!
00:03:24Come on!
00:03:25LA's in inferno.
00:03:26Everyone's in danger.
00:03:27I know.
00:03:28That's why I've got to stay.
00:03:29Goddamn wildfires.
00:03:31Boss!
00:03:40Is that bitch still in there?
00:04:10Whatever.
00:04:10Oh, no.
00:04:12Oh, no.
00:04:13Wait, someone has to help us.
00:04:16I can't lose my custom-built home.
00:04:19Help!
00:04:23Guys, you've got to evacuate.
00:04:24Get out of here.
00:04:25Evacuate.
00:04:26The minimal appraisal value is 10 million.
00:04:31You just got to stay here now.
00:04:33Okay, figure it out.
00:04:35Is someone still in there?
00:04:36That's just my stupid sister.
00:04:37Who cares?
00:04:38What's her name?
00:04:41Margaret, but you can just call her loser.
00:04:44Wait, if you're going inside.
00:04:45I have tan-
00:04:46Oh, no, he's bad.
00:04:48This is a bird kid.
00:04:49Okay.
00:04:50You have to save the police.
00:04:51Okay.
00:04:53They're in my closet.
00:04:56I think he might do it.
00:04:59Margaret!
00:05:00Margaret!
00:05:00Margaret, where are you?
00:05:03Can you hear me?
00:05:05Can you hear me?
00:05:08Oh, no.
00:05:11Oh, no.
00:05:12What?
00:05:13What?
00:05:27Margaret.
00:05:29Can you hear me?
00:05:30Margaret, you're going to be okay.
00:05:33All right?
00:05:34Thanks.
00:05:39Congrats on your wedding.
00:05:42Belong to my mom.
00:05:44That's great.
00:05:46Hey.
00:05:47Hey, hey, hey.
00:05:48Hold on to me, okay?
00:05:52Get out of here.
00:05:53Where are my designer bags?
00:06:16You guys need to take her to the hospital right now.
00:06:18You saved her?
00:06:19Why?
00:06:20She doesn't even live in the zip code.
00:06:22If you all don't take her to safety, you'll all be charged with attempted murder.
00:06:25Uh, don't talk to me like that.
00:06:27You cringy firefighter.
00:06:29Take her to the hospital now.
00:06:31Ridiculous.
00:06:32Fine.
00:06:33You take her.
00:06:37Stop me touching her.
00:06:38Then how am I supposed to carry her?
00:06:41I don't know.
00:06:41You canceled the engagement.
00:06:56Are you out of your mind?
00:06:58Are you out of your mind?
00:07:00I almost die in a fire, and that's all you have to say to me?
00:07:03His mother is mayor of this whole city.
00:07:05She can open doors with a wave of her hand.
00:07:06I don't care if she can fart rainbows with a wave of her butt.
00:07:11Oh, and did they tell you that he's been thunking Caitlyn?
00:07:15Watch your mouth.
00:07:17Tell her to watch when she sticks between her legs.
00:07:20Don't you dare talk to me like that.
00:07:22I should have let you die in that house so you can burn in hell.
00:07:25You tried to leave me there, remember?
00:07:27You think I don't know that?
00:07:28Cut the crap.
00:07:30You're going to marry Steel?
00:07:32Then you're going to make him that.
00:07:33No, I'm not a tramp who sells my body to men for money.
00:07:38That's more Caitlyn style.
00:07:43You know what, Dad?
00:07:46You can climb into bed with the Wicked Witch of the West every night.
00:07:50That's your business.
00:07:51But I will not sleep with some slimy-ass bottom feeder to make you happy.
00:07:56Well, then you can kiss your inheritance goodbye.
00:07:58I guess I'll be taking over your mother's company.
00:08:01She left it to me only.
00:08:03If you're married by next week.
00:08:05And then what are you going to do if Steel dumps you?
00:08:08Just look at you.
00:08:10You can't even get out of bed.
00:08:14Oh, gosh, Ravina.
00:08:17It looks like I can get out of bed after all.
00:08:20And you can't stop me.
00:08:25Are you high?
00:08:27Where the hell do you think you're going?
00:08:29To find a husband.
00:08:31To find a husband.
00:08:32And I know just where to find him.
00:08:44Stop right now, young lady.
00:08:45Stop her!
00:08:46A $50 million donation?
00:08:54This is a godsend.
00:08:57Look, man.
00:08:57You guys are the real heroes.
00:09:00I was just happy I could help.
00:09:01Well, I appreciate it.
00:09:03I actually got you a gift.
00:09:05Come on, baby.
00:09:08You don't have to do that.
00:09:14Chief Tanner, this is perfect.
00:09:18Sincerely.
00:09:18Who did it to me?
00:09:32Where is he?
00:09:33Who did what to you?
00:09:35Saved my life yesterday.
00:09:40No.
00:09:41No.
00:09:42Not you either.
00:09:43No.
00:09:44You're not the one.
00:09:45It's not here.
00:09:48What about that guy?
00:09:54You're the girl.
00:09:57Excuse me for a second, sir.
00:10:02It's you.
00:10:04I'm sorry, miss.
00:10:06You're the guy.
00:10:08I think you might have it again.
00:10:16Whoa.
00:10:18Who's out?
00:10:19It's me.
00:10:21Margaret.
00:10:23I know I'm silly.
00:10:25I shouldn't have come here.
00:10:26I just...
00:10:26I have nowhere else to go.
00:10:28No one to trust.
00:10:30I lost everything that I had.
00:10:33Hey.
00:10:35It's okay.
00:10:35You're safe now.
00:10:38You say you were...
00:10:39Margaret.
00:10:59I knew you'd remember me.
00:11:01I'm sorry, I didn't recognize you.
00:11:03Margaret.
00:11:04I knew you'd remember me.
00:11:06I'm sorry, I didn't recognize you.
00:11:08Baby.
00:11:09Now you're...
00:11:09Oh my god.
00:11:09Oh my god.
00:11:21I know I was gonna do that.
00:11:22Okay, I have two requests.
00:11:29Okay.
00:11:30First, in the future when we do that, your hugs don't have to be so delicate.
00:11:35I'm not breakable.
00:11:37Agreed?
00:11:37Yeah, sure.
00:11:40And my second request is marry me.
00:11:44What?
00:11:45I'll explain all the details later, but we gotta go right now.
00:11:49Hey, if he doesn't want to, I'm available.
00:11:51Yeah, me too.
00:11:52I'm here all day.
00:11:53When it comes to hot women, nobody handles them like firemen.
00:11:56We're specialists.
00:11:58Whoa, easy, down, down, boys.
00:12:01Did any of the three of you hear me say no?
00:12:04Let's go.
00:12:05Why couldn't that happen to me?
00:12:09We'll have a big ceremony later.
00:12:11For now, this makes it official.
00:12:14By the way, how do you feel about kids?
00:12:17I feel great about kids.
00:12:19When I was a little girl, my mom always told me to always wear nice pajamas to bed.
00:12:25You know why?
00:12:26Why?
00:12:27In case of an emergency, if a fireman came in, she said, you never know.
00:12:32I know you might become your husband.
00:12:35I'm Margaret.
00:12:36I'm sorry I haven't had the chance to tell you this yet, but I'm not actually a firefighter.
00:12:40I just happened to be there and was able to help that day.
00:12:42But you saved my life and my mother's dress, and that meant a lot to me.
00:12:53You're my hero.
00:12:55I should tell her who I am.
00:12:58Margaret, I'm the...
00:12:59Okay, I can tell her later.
00:13:17You know, we can't just kiss every single time we're going through each other's eyes.
00:13:23You're right.
00:13:24You're right.
00:13:26No, no, you're not.
00:13:47Well, my husband, shall we go to your place or mine?
00:13:51I'm actually homeless.
00:13:54My house burned down in the fires.
00:13:57I'm so sorry.
00:13:59Well, you're my husband now, so you can just move in with me.
00:14:03I'll help you move.
00:14:04I can't let her know I'm staying in the W Hotel.
00:14:07It's too fancy.
00:14:11That's so kind and sweet of you, but I wouldn't want you to get your hands dirty.
00:14:15I'll handle the move.
00:14:16Well, this is my address.
00:14:25See you soon, husband.
00:14:27Dad, you can't make me sleep on the floor while you sleep with my mother on the Eiderdown
00:14:39Savoir Grand Emperor bed.
00:14:42That's not fair.
00:14:43That's not fair.
00:14:43No.
00:14:44Book me a suite right now.
00:14:47Are you delusional?
00:14:50Every decent hotel runs out of rooms.
00:14:53Oh, how about you go get yourself a room at the Motel 6?
00:14:57What?
00:14:57Noah!
00:15:00Honey, can I stay in your place?
00:15:04Look, either we saw this with Margaret or we're going to leave.
00:15:07No, no, no, no, no.
00:15:09We'll fix it.
00:15:10She will marry you.
00:15:11Excuse her.
00:15:12She's still a little out of sorts after the whole city burning down thing.
00:15:17Well, she's going to have to come crawling back to me on her knees.
00:15:20Too bad you couldn't choose Caitlin instead.
00:15:23No, Ravina.
00:15:24This is a business transaction.
00:15:26Steel marries Margaret, then becomes CEO of Foster Incorporated.
00:15:31My ex-wife's business.
00:15:33That's the perfect arrangement because Margaret supplies Steel with the money.
00:15:37Yeah.
00:15:38And Caitlin supplies him with other benefits.
00:15:42They're like a tag team.
00:15:45A tag team?
00:15:51Let's get this clear once and for all.
00:15:54None of you are ever getting your hands on my mother's money, ever.
00:15:59Not you, not my sleazy, ass-for-sale stepsister,
00:16:03not this cheating man-whore, and not whoever the hell you are.
00:16:12For your information, I'm the mayor of this city, and you just called my son a man-whore.
00:16:22You will apologize.
00:16:24Now, on your knees, or I will crush you.
00:16:32No, I don't get on my knees.
00:16:35That's Caitlin's specialty.
00:16:37But I am so sorry that I called your son a man-whore.
00:16:41I should have called him a wannabe man-whore, because he only has one pitiful pickup line.
00:16:47My mother's the mayor.
00:16:49A mayor who let the reservoirs get so dry that the whole city could burn.
00:16:55You want me to apologize?
00:16:57You should be apologizing to the people of this city.
00:16:59One more word.
00:17:01Sit down and shut up.
00:17:03Ah!
00:17:04You will be a humble, obedient, respectful wife, or you will never inherit that company.
00:17:13I'm afraid I can't marry Steele.
00:17:16Don't you know that polygamy is illegal in California?
00:17:19A woman can't have two husbands.
00:17:21What are you talking about?
00:17:24Well, you see, I'm already married.
00:17:30My paper beats your paper.
00:17:33What did you do?
00:17:34Grab some homeless guy to marry?
00:17:40Everyone knows you were engaged to the mayor's son.
00:17:43How dare you embarrass the mayor publicly?
00:17:47You were a livelihood of this company, and you were replaced as a CEO.
00:17:51By me.
00:17:52I am the new CEO.
00:17:54That is not going to happen.
00:18:01I'll get to put you guys in a little bit.
00:18:03I have to go clear out my room.
00:18:05Boss, you married a girl you don't even know?
00:18:08What were you thinking?
00:18:09Whitman, sometimes in life, you crunch the numbers, and read the market, and leverage your assets.
00:18:21And then there's other times, you just listen to your heart.
00:18:25This is one of those times.
00:18:31There's my wife right now.
00:18:32Margaret, you're done.
00:18:36Margaret, you're done.
00:18:39Who's that creep that's threatening her?
00:18:40That's Jackson Foster, your father-in-law.
00:18:44I did some research.
00:18:45Step ahead of you, boss.
00:18:46Well, I'm going to put an end to this.
00:18:48Anyone can make a fake marriage license.
00:18:54Just admit you don't have a husband.
00:18:56Excuse me.
00:18:57Who the hell are you?
00:19:00I'm Margaret's husband.
00:19:02Dad.
00:19:03Is this some kind of joke?
00:19:05You hear the joke?
00:19:06Of course it's you.
00:19:09You found some random fireman to marry.
00:19:12Oh, my God.
00:19:14How pathetic.
00:19:15How much does he make a year?
00:19:17Like, $30,000 after taxes?
00:19:20You really lowered yourself, Mars.
00:19:23A fireman?
00:19:26What's wrong with being a fireman?
00:19:29Poor.
00:19:31Stinky.
00:19:32These men save your lives and you bitches point your noses down at them?
00:19:37They are saving this city because she was too inept to do it.
00:19:41Keep it up.
00:19:43And I'll wipe that ugly look off of your face permanently.
00:19:47You know who I am.
00:19:50Move your fat asses.
00:19:52Go out there and do your goddamn jobs.
00:19:55And stop interrupting us.
00:19:58I'm sorry.
00:20:00We all know who you are.
00:20:01Miss do-nothing mayor?
00:20:04Why are you here sitting in a hotel lobby blabbing while the whole city is burning down?
00:20:10Who are you to challenge me?
00:20:12I can fire all of you.
00:20:16Hey, guys.
00:20:17We're being fired.
00:20:19Oh, wait a minute.
00:20:20You're not our chief, so you can't fire us.
00:20:23That's it.
00:20:24We're done talking to you idiots.
00:20:26As for you, you're going to dump this pathetic loser and you're coming home with me.
00:20:29Touch her again and I will drop you where you stand.
00:20:35You and what army?
00:20:37This army, you owe us an apology.
00:20:40All of you.
00:20:43Apologize.
00:20:44Now.
00:20:45Oh, poor firemen.
00:20:50I'm so sorry.
00:20:53Sorry about to get your asses kicked out of here.
00:20:56Security!
00:20:56Good move, Madam Mayor.
00:21:01Now, when this whole city burns down, how are you going to explain to your people that you
00:21:04fired the firefighters that were trying to protect it?
00:21:07This is breaking news.
00:21:08It seems that the mayor is firing a team of firefighters.
00:21:12Madam Mayor, do you have a comment?
00:21:14I would never do that.
00:21:17L.A. firefighters are our true heroes.
00:21:20I'm here to support them.
00:21:23That is very lovely.
00:21:24By the way, why are you here in a luxury hotel when the entire city is on fire?
00:21:30She was cutting a deal for a corporate takeover with a rich-ass CEO.
00:21:35Rich-ass CEO?
00:21:37Madam Mayor, is that true?
00:21:40And do you have a comment?
00:21:41As I said, I am here to support these brave men.
00:21:48Go firefighters!
00:21:50You know, many people are criticizing your complete and utter incompetence in the handling of the
00:21:56wildfires.
00:21:57In fact, people are pointing out the fact that you cut $17.5 million from the fire department's
00:22:03budget right as the wildfires were started.
00:22:06What is your response?
00:22:11I have no comment.
00:22:16No comment.
00:22:19You know, not all rich CEOs are assholes.
00:22:23Believe me, they're all aggressive narcissists.
00:22:26I've seen way too many of them.
00:22:28That's why I just want a regular guy like you.
00:22:30Okay.
00:22:31I don't think she's going to like me if I tell her who I am.
00:22:33That's right.
00:22:35So, how much did she pay you to be her fake husband?
00:22:39Well, like a hundred bucks a day.
00:22:41Boy, you've really gotten desperate, huh?
00:22:44Hiring some nobody to pretend to be your husband just to cheat us.
00:22:48Just so you could comply to the will and take over the company.
00:22:53That's very clever.
00:22:54How many times do I have to tell you that this is my mother's company, so it belongs
00:23:00to me?
00:23:01You'll never pull it off.
00:23:04Let's go.
00:23:09Chris, thank you for standing by me.
00:23:12You married me for a business deal and didn't tell me?
00:23:18It wasn't for a business deal.
00:23:20It was a lawyer thing.
00:23:22I had to get married by next week or else I wouldn't have been able to inherit my mother's
00:23:26company, but it...
00:23:28I'm such an idiot.
00:23:31What?
00:23:33It wasn't a fake marriage.
00:23:36Don't go.
00:23:39He's a fireman?
00:23:40Oh, that is hot.
00:23:43Oh, he's incredibly hot, even though he's not an actual firefighter.
00:23:47She thinks you're hot and you saved her life.
00:23:50That's a pretty good start.
00:23:52So, he saved her life and then you told him you needed a husband for the inheritance and
00:23:56then he said...
00:23:57Actually, I didn't tell him that.
00:24:01Yeah, but I didn't hear that from her.
00:24:03I'm sure she was planning to.
00:24:05But there was a lot going on, you know?
00:24:06I almost died in a fire and then I escaped the hospital and the next thing you're going
00:24:10to do.
00:24:11Oh, no.
00:24:12And he kissed you back?
00:24:13Well, no.
00:24:14I mean, it was more than a kiss.
00:24:15I mean, it was like it was melting into him.
00:24:18She makes me feel like she's melting into me.
00:24:21I've never had anybody make me feel that way before.
00:24:24But then to find out that she wasn't being honest with me...
00:24:28You can still fix this, Margaret.
00:24:30Go talk to him.
00:24:32No!
00:24:33Talk to her.
00:24:34No.
00:24:35She was hiding things from me.
00:24:37What about you?
00:24:38I told her the truth that I am not a firefighter but was just to help her.
00:24:43What about the fact that you're the CEO of the Fortune 500 company with a net worth of
00:24:47like one point...
00:24:48I didn't tell her that part.
00:24:50Alright?
00:24:51What if I talk to him and he just shuts me out?
00:24:53She's afraid you'll shut her out.
00:24:55Do you want to shut her out?
00:24:57Really?
00:24:58What do you really want, Margaret?
00:25:00This is one of those moments in life where it's do or die.
00:25:03You need to open up to him.
00:25:04You have to open up to her!
00:25:06Thank you, guys.
00:25:19I appreciate it.
00:25:21Let me do our part.
00:25:23Boss!
00:25:24Boss!
00:25:25Boss!
00:25:26Hi!
00:25:36Chris.
00:25:37I know you're busy with the fires.
00:25:50Hi.
00:25:51Margaret.
00:25:52I have something I need to tell you.
00:25:53Now is probably not the best time.
00:25:55I just wanted to say that I'm sorry.
00:25:57I know that you're upset with me.
00:25:59I didn't mean to keep things from you.
00:26:01Everything just started happening so fast.
00:26:04I don't expect you to forgive me, but...
00:26:07I needed you to know that I'm sorry.
00:26:22Wait.
00:26:25How did you find me?
00:26:27I was just driving around.
00:26:29I figured you'd be near the fires.
00:26:30Do not do that again.
00:26:32I...
00:26:33Just stay away, okay?
00:26:40Just stay away, okay?
00:26:43If you want to contact me, call me and tell me where to meet you, but please let it be a safe place.
00:26:49You mean you want me to contact you?
00:26:52I certainly don't want you driving around a red zone.
00:26:54It's far too dangerous.
00:26:56Right.
00:26:57I'll be more careful next time.
00:27:01Will there be a next time?
00:27:04Listen.
00:27:05I didn't exactly tell you everything about me either.
00:27:08Okay?
00:27:09Wow.
00:27:10You were so mad that you took your ring off, huh?
00:27:12When I saw you in that fire, and then afterwards, you kissed me.
00:27:21Okay, wait.
00:27:22Let's get one thing clear.
00:27:23I don't just go around kissing strange guys, okay?
00:27:25I know.
00:27:26Of course.
00:27:27Of course not.
00:27:28It was a special circumstance.
00:27:32I'm sure I'm never going to do anything like that in my life ever again.
00:27:35I know.
00:27:36It's just that my financial situation is not what-
00:27:55How do you do that?
00:27:58Do that thing where you make me melt into you?
00:28:01Me?
00:28:02I thought you did that.
00:28:04Isn't that what you do?
00:28:05No.
00:28:06It just happens.
00:28:07It's never happened to me before, but it only happens when I'm with you.
00:28:29We were talking about something.
00:28:30What was that again?
00:28:31Uh-huh.
00:28:32Um.
00:28:33Money.
00:28:34Right.
00:28:35Money.
00:28:36Oh my God, who cares about money?
00:28:37I don't care if you're poor, or in debt, or whatever.
00:28:40Well, that's the thing.
00:28:41I'm not actually-
00:28:42I don't want a rich man.
00:28:44I mean, my father is one, and my stepmother, and you've seen them.
00:28:48They're like a cross between Rita Repulsive and Mr. Krabs.
00:28:52Okay, but you don't think every rich person is like that.
00:28:55Right?
00:28:56Look, let's just leave it at this.
00:28:58You don't have money, and so what?
00:29:00I don't need all the details.
00:29:02Are you sure?
00:29:03You're not gonna abandon me because I'm poor?
00:29:08You are the most handsome, smartest man that I have ever met.
00:29:13I will never abandon you.
00:29:16Let's just-
00:29:18They will be totally honest with each other from now on.
00:29:22Promise?
00:29:32What's next?
00:29:40Are you seeing your home?
00:29:42My husband.
00:29:43I am a lucky guy.
00:29:46Come on in.
00:29:51Sorry about the space.
00:29:58My company's struggling a little bit, so it's a bit modest, but-
00:30:02No, don't!
00:30:04Oh!
00:30:05Oh!
00:30:06Stop it!
00:30:07Stop it!
00:30:08Oh!
00:30:13I'm sorry.
00:30:14Um.
00:30:15I could fix your pipes for you so that it doesn't explode again.
00:30:19Sure, of course.
00:30:20Sure.
00:30:21Of course.
00:30:26This should help.
00:30:27Yeah.
00:30:30Yeah.
00:30:31Let me see.
00:30:35He's so hot.
00:30:45Should be all good.
00:30:47Sam.
00:30:48Sam.
00:30:49Sam.
00:30:50Sam.
00:30:51Sam.
00:30:53Sam.
00:30:54Sam.
00:30:55He's so hot.
00:30:57Shaun.
00:30:58I can't do anything.
00:31:01I can't do anything.
00:31:02Go ahead and go.
00:31:03I can't do anything.
00:31:05Oh no.
00:31:06Oh no.
00:31:07You really got cancer.
00:31:08I can't do anything.
00:31:09I can't do anything.
00:31:10I can't do anything.
00:31:11You can't do anything.
00:31:12No.
00:31:13I can do anything.
00:31:14No.
00:31:15Sorry, I've got to take it, it's work.
00:31:35I know.
00:31:37This better be important.
00:31:39That's a big move.
00:31:41I'll see what I can do.
00:31:43I'm so sorry.
00:31:45I've got to go to work.
00:31:46What?
00:31:47I know.
00:31:48Chris, what is it you actually do for a living?
00:31:57So you're making a fire suppressant because you work for Moor Corp?
00:32:01Kind of.
00:32:02That's so cool.
00:32:03And it's going to stop the wildfires?
00:32:05We hope so.
00:32:08My team, our team, has been making some progress this week,
00:32:14but we're supposed to roll it out this weekend,
00:32:16so there's not much time.
00:32:19Jeez.
00:32:20I didn't know.
00:32:21You should have told me.
00:32:22I tried.
00:32:23Well, I'm sure you can do it, Chris.
00:32:25I'm rooting for you.
00:32:26You know, I'm not used to having someone at home rooting for me.
00:32:31It's new, but it's nice.
00:32:36I'm going to go to work for you.
00:32:38You can do it.
00:33:16I'll be right there.
00:33:46Something wrong?
00:33:52What happened?
00:33:53What happened is...
00:33:56We did it.
00:33:58Oh!
00:34:02We did it.
00:34:05It worked.
00:34:06Margaret, this is going to save lives.
00:34:10Oh!
00:34:12Shoot.
00:34:13I have to go meet with the fire captain.
00:34:14This is the big test.
00:34:15We have to prove the suppressant works.
00:34:17I'll see you later.
00:34:18Bye.
00:34:26Yes!
00:34:27The fires are going out!
00:34:29We are kicking this fire's ass.
00:34:31I mean, this is a breakthrough in science.
00:34:33We are making history, my friend.
00:34:35All right, guys.
00:34:38Grab every container we got.
00:34:40Bambi buckets, tsunami tanks.
00:34:42Get them filled and airborne.
00:34:44We're going to kill this fire now.
00:34:46Stop whatever you're doing and tell those choppers to load the fire suppressant from Foster Corporation.
00:35:06No, we just tested a fire suppressant from Morcourt.
00:35:10It's superior to that crap you've been sending us.
00:35:12L.A. is burning.
00:35:14We don't have time for your city hall bullshit.
00:35:16And I don't have time for your insubordination.
00:35:19How much kickback are you making from this, Madam Mayor?
00:35:22How many houses need to burn down in order for you to make a profit off of the bogus chemicals that don't even work?
00:35:27Look, I gave you an order.
00:35:30Load my fire suppressant or you're fired.
00:35:33Good.
00:35:34Fire.
00:35:35Because I will not be responsible for your disaster.
00:35:38Your wish is granted.
00:35:41You're fired.
00:35:43This is the end of Chief Taylor.
00:35:46No.
00:35:47I think this is the end of Mayor Davis.
00:35:50Remember, I said it.
00:35:51Get out of here and take this piece of trash with you.
00:35:57Okay, our deal has changed.
00:36:05One-third is not enough.
00:36:07I want a two-third cut.
00:36:09I need to make some money off of this thing.
00:36:12Don't you look so glum?
00:36:14I'm going to make you CEO of Foster, Inc.
00:36:18I got a new plan.
00:36:20Come on.
00:36:22The door won't open itself.
00:36:27Congratulations on your victory.
00:36:31I'm so proud of you.
00:36:33Almost a victory.
00:36:35The mayor shut us down.
00:36:37She's been colluding with your dad.
00:36:41We're finished.
00:36:42She's the whole city hall to back her up.
00:36:45Hey, don't let them scare you.
00:36:47Bureaucrats like to live in these little protected hives.
00:36:51Once you crack those hives open, they scatter like roaches looking for the nearest drain pipe.
00:36:58Boss, I think your dad set up a board meeting behind your back for tomorrow.
00:37:04Copy that.
00:37:08Great.
00:37:09My biological father is about to ambush me.
00:37:11So it seems like we have a common enemy.
00:37:15And?
00:37:16And I'd like to do you the favor of destroying him.
00:37:20How?
00:37:21Do you want me to put you on the board of directors?
00:37:24No, no.
00:37:26I want to be your assistant.
00:37:27What?
00:37:29I'm going to be your boss?
00:37:31Mm-hmm.
00:37:33I've got an idea.
00:37:35Okay.
00:37:36All right, let's make this a pass.
00:37:42Margaret cannot be the CEO of this company.
00:37:45I don't care what the will says.
00:37:46Even the mayor wants Margaret out.
00:37:49Shouldn't Margaret be here to at least speak for herself?
00:37:52Don't be dense.
00:37:54Margaret will be out before she knows what hit her.
00:37:56And Caitlin will be here.
00:37:58Any board meeting without my approval is illegal.
00:38:01You are not authorized.
00:38:03She is fully authorized.
00:38:06Oh, what the hell?
00:38:07Not you again.
00:38:09This is a board meeting.
00:38:11Only for employees of Foster Incorporated.
00:38:13Right.
00:38:14Well, why don't you all help me welcome our newest employee?
00:38:17I put Chris on the payroll this morning.
00:38:20He's my new personal assistant.
00:38:23That's strange.
00:38:24Assistant of what?
00:38:26Cleaning toilets?
00:38:27Oh, my God.
00:38:29Margaret, this is just so like you.
00:38:31Soling our company with your low-life husband.
00:38:36Well, I'm glad you acknowledged me as Margaret's husband.
00:38:39Because that covers our first point today on our agenda.
00:38:42Section 12.3.C.
00:38:45Margaret Foster will inherit Foster, Inc.
00:38:48So long as she is married by the designated date.
00:38:52So, this means that Margaret is now the owner of Foster Incorporated.
00:38:57From now on, you are going to call her Madam CEO.
00:39:03Yeah.
00:39:04What are you going to get me one of those?
00:39:06When you hear some class, don't pal.
00:39:09We're going to take him over here.
00:39:10It doesn't change anything.
00:39:13That's right.
00:39:14This company has been hemorrhaging money because of you, Margaret.
00:39:17We will not let you destroy it.
00:39:19And the only people who can take care of that is sitting right here in this room.
00:39:23Me.
00:39:25And my brilliant new man.
00:39:28Steel can turn this company around like that.
00:39:31Tell them, honey.
00:39:32Get rid of her and I'll double the company's revenue in four months.
00:39:38Backed by the mayor.
00:39:39My mom.
00:39:40100%.
00:39:41The mayor herself.
00:39:45That's exactly what we need.
00:39:47I like when you take control.
00:39:50Hold on.
00:39:51Margaret and I can also increase Foster Incorporated's revenues.
00:39:56He's going to double the revenue in four months.
00:40:00No one else can mention.
00:40:01Oh, we can.
00:40:04Chris, what are you saying?
00:40:06Stick with me, okay?
00:40:07What I'm about to say is a promise.
00:40:10A guarantee.
00:40:12Mr. Davis, you claim that you can double revenues in four months.
00:40:17Yes, I can.
00:40:18We will increase revenues tenfold.
00:40:21In only one month.
00:40:24Oh, shit.
00:40:26No one can do that.
00:40:37I don't think you know how it works.
00:40:38It's crazy.
00:40:39We can't make that kind of promise.
00:40:41It's impossible.
00:40:42Margaret, I'm my lead.
00:40:45Okay.
00:40:47This is ludicrous.
00:40:49Okay.
00:40:50How the hell is a homeless deadbeat going to increase company revenue?
00:40:53Margaret is a master of outreach.
00:40:57She will set up a strategic partnership with the Moore Corporation.
00:41:00The Moore Corporation has operations in every countryman in the world.
00:41:04They won't even take a phone call from Margaret.
00:41:07Oh, but they already have.
00:41:09In fact, the manager has set up a meeting for Margaret tomorrow.
00:41:15Yeah, that's bullshit.
00:41:17Moore Corp would never work with a nobody like Margaret.
00:41:19You're delusional.
00:41:21Well, there is no harm to let her try.
00:41:25What?
00:41:26You'd better not disappoint us, Margaret.
00:41:28Okay, look, let's just make this straight here, okay?
00:41:32Margaret, you have one month to deliver Moore Corp.
00:41:36And make this company's revenue, what, ten point you said?
00:41:40One month.
00:41:41Or else the will is null and void.
00:41:45And you disappear.
00:41:48Correct.
00:41:50Agreed.
00:41:54Oh, you dug your own grave, sis.
00:41:58One month from now, we're going to kick you to the gutter.
00:42:00Where you belong.
00:42:02With your gutter husband.
00:42:05Done.
00:42:06Chris, you can't make up stories like this.
00:42:15God, I'm going to lose my mother's company.
00:42:19Why did you tell them that they scheduled a meeting?
00:42:22Because I did.
00:42:25Moore Corp is expecting you tomorrow.
00:42:28They are?
00:42:29You're not joking?
00:42:31No.
00:42:31Oh, my God, Chris, that's amazing.
00:42:35By the way, his rings are quiet.
00:42:38They almost look real.
00:42:39Yeah.
00:42:40Almost.
00:42:42Oh.
00:42:52Calm down.
00:42:55We're not going to let your daughter beat you.
00:42:57There's no way she can beat me.
00:42:59Moore Corp should never work with a nobody like her, right?
00:43:02But what if she makes it happen?
00:43:04Then we'll stop her.
00:43:05How?
00:43:05I'm sending over the contact info for Christopher Moore, the CEO of Moore Corporation.
00:43:17Tell his office the mayor is coming to see him tomorrow.
00:43:21I expect him to be there.
00:43:25Either Mr. Moore does what I tell him to do, or I'll shut down his operations in the city.
00:43:32That'd be a multi-billion dollar loss for him.
00:43:36Christopher Moore guy is a real mystery man.
00:43:42No public appearances.
00:43:44And let's not forget, we rejected his fire suppressant, so he's probably pretty pissed off at us.
00:43:51Don't worry about that.
00:43:53We'll find out who he is and how to get to him.
00:43:56That's my specialty.
00:44:02I've never met with the management of a global corporation before.
00:44:05Who knows?
00:44:06Maybe you have, and you just didn't know it.
00:44:09I'd know.
00:44:10They're all assholes.
00:44:11You see them coming from a mile away.
00:44:17This PowerPoint isn't quite ready yet, I don't think.
00:44:23You need to grab their attention right away.
00:44:26And the flower you're writing, it's a business meeting, not a poetry club.
00:44:33I mean, have you heard of Gola Boys?
00:44:36Okay, all right, all right.
00:44:38Well, why don't you show me what you would do for the presentation?
00:44:41Okay.
00:44:44I like the pink.
00:44:46I don't think they're going to like you very much.
00:44:52The CEO loves you.
00:44:54The CEO of Morgorp?
00:44:56How could he love me?
00:44:57I've never even met the guy.
00:44:59Um, I mean, he knows you.
00:45:01Well, uh, I've mentioned you to him before.
00:45:06Whoa, Chris, you know the CEO?
00:45:08Who are you?
00:45:10I'm, I'm just a nobody.
00:45:12You're not a nobody, you're my husband.
00:45:14The CEO of Morgorp is great.
00:45:21It's just that these guys don't have the attention spans.
00:45:23Read, you're poetic.
00:45:24For the business proposal, we could do something along the lines of...
00:45:27Today, we are going to be talking about...
00:45:37Do you feel like you're giving a school presentation?
00:45:40We're playing Twister.
00:45:42I'm dramatic facts.
00:45:44I'm pulling their attention.
00:45:45You are, exactly.
00:45:46It's acting.
00:45:49I'm talking about my presentation that I have.
00:45:52Good morning, boss.
00:46:06I mean, boxes of mints are on the table if you'd like to try one.
00:46:11He will show us to the office.
00:46:14I will show you to that office.
00:46:15What an honor.
00:46:16It's nice to meet you.
00:46:17I think I heard your voice before.
00:46:19Oh, of course.
00:46:20We work closely together.
00:46:23And he's my...
00:46:25manager.
00:46:30Do you feel ready?
00:46:32I think so.
00:46:37I need you to sit in a meeting.
00:46:39I have an agreement to sign.
00:46:43She still doesn't know who you are?
00:46:45Copy that.
00:46:46I'll set up the meeting now.
00:46:47Oh, and the mayor wants to meet you.
00:46:49Of course she does.
00:46:51She's in the office now.
00:46:52What a surprise.
00:46:53Surprise!
00:46:54What's the surprise?
00:46:56Uh...
00:46:56Surprise!
00:46:58What's the surprise?
00:46:59Uh, someone else wants a meeting, but they are just going to have to wait.
00:47:03We have been waiting here for half an hour.
00:47:14Yes.
00:47:15That's because you didn't make an appointment in advance.
00:47:18I am the mayor.
00:47:19I know who you are.
00:47:21We all do.
00:47:22My cousin lost her home in the fires.
00:47:25Don't you have more important things to do right now?
00:47:28How dare you?
00:47:31You are just a useless office girl.
00:47:34Ha ha ha.
00:47:35Now, tell Mr. Moore that I insist...
00:47:38Good morning, Mr. Moore.
00:47:47That's him.
00:47:49Oh, my God.
00:47:55Ha ha.
00:47:56Can you believe they let common street trash in a beautiful building like this?
00:48:01Excuse me.
00:48:02Why did you call him Mr. Moore?
00:48:04Oh, no, no.
00:48:10I was just saying, Mr. There's Moore.
00:48:13Like, more mints in the waiting room.
00:48:15What is with the mints here?
00:48:18We've got really good mints.
00:48:19Don't worry about it.
00:48:21I might have underestimated you, okay?
00:48:22But don't you get delusional.
00:48:24Whoever you're meeting has to be a low-level lackey.
00:48:27Let's get real.
00:48:27The mayor and I are meeting the CEO.
00:48:32Stallman.
00:48:32Which means you.
00:48:34I have zero chance of ever being me.
00:48:38Got it?
00:48:39Ha ha.
00:48:40Uh, Mr. Moore is on his way.
00:48:43Do you mind waiting here just a bit longer?
00:48:45Oh, sorry your meeting got delayed.
00:48:48Well, mine is right on the dot.
00:48:50You see, my husband and I made a presentation together.
00:48:53It's very professional.
00:48:55I think Moore Corp is really going to like it.
00:48:59I'm taking a drink.
00:49:00Meant to be.
00:49:06How dare she?
00:49:07How dare she?
00:49:08Fine.
00:49:10We wait.
00:49:11But he better be here soon.
00:49:14We, of course.
00:49:15After all, you're the mayor.
00:49:17Um, thank you all for meeting with me today.
00:49:21Um, my name is, and I would love to work with you.
00:49:37Congratulations.
00:49:46He still isn't here?
00:49:51This is outrageous.
00:49:53Mr. Moore is on the way, but, you know, LA traffic, plus the fires, make it even worse.
00:49:59Oh, excuse me.
00:50:05Sorry to interrupt your indignation, but do you have a sheet protector that I could use?
00:50:10I just signed a contract, and I don't want to get it stained or anything.
00:50:14Congratulations, Ms. Foster.
00:50:15Yeah, okay, quit playing games.
00:50:17You didn't sign any contract.
00:50:19Well, unfortunately for you, I did.
00:50:22And it's for a $100 million deal.
00:50:25Oh, shit.
00:50:30About that.
00:50:31Looks like I will be the CEO of Foster Inc. after all.
00:50:36You must be so proud of your daughter, Dad.
00:50:41Call me that!
00:50:42I will not let you do this.
00:50:45By the way, what are your friends showing up?
00:50:48Three, two, one.
00:50:50Madam Mayor, what do you have to say about the new fires that just broke out?
00:50:58Oh, no, not again.
00:51:01You'll have to schedule an interview with my press team.
00:51:04I don't have time for this right now.
00:51:06Oh, well, it looks like you have plenty of time.
00:51:09Tell us, why aren't you out there stopping the fires?
00:51:11What do you have to say?
00:51:13It is completely unfair that you are judging me.
00:51:16I am working every minute on this.
00:51:19Yes, but you rejected Norcorp's fire suppressant.
00:51:22And you made a deal with Mr. Foster.
00:51:24I had my business.
00:51:26And what were they?
00:51:27Personal profits?
00:51:29Stock options?
00:51:32Oh, Mr. Foster, it's you.
00:51:34We got a tip that you have an under-the-table deal with Madam Mayor.
00:51:39And that your fire suppressant doesn't even work.
00:51:43That is complete nonsense.
00:51:46Complete nonsense, that is.
00:51:48This is a witch hunt.
00:51:50Madam Mayor, just one more.
00:51:52Ask her why she canned the fire sheep while her son is collecting millions as a paid consultant for city contractors.
00:51:59So much corruption, so little time.
00:52:02Let's go.
00:52:03Yeah, yeah.
00:52:04Let's go.
00:52:04Madam Mayor, just one more.
00:52:06For the people.
00:52:07Last question about the personal record.
00:52:09Why aren't you out there trying to stop the fires?
00:52:14It is completely unfair for you to judge me.
00:52:17I have been working on this every day.
00:52:19One of our eyewitness team members has found a secret ledger showing the city is paying triple for the fires at present.
00:52:25You know, you were perfect in today's meeting.
00:52:31Yeah, but the CEO, Mr. Moore, didn't show up.
00:52:35I wonder what he's like.
00:52:35Probably just some rich a-hole.
00:52:41That's what you said.
00:52:43Remember?
00:52:44Yeah, but his company is actually doing good things.
00:52:48I kind of want to meet him.
00:52:49I don't know if that's a great idea.
00:52:51He's a bachelor, you know?
00:52:54He, uh...
00:52:55Might try to steal you from me.
00:52:57Oh, that is not gonna happen.
00:53:02I felt you supporting me today, Chris.
00:53:05All day.
00:53:06I haven't felt that support since my mom passed away.
00:53:10I'm sorry you had to go through that.
00:53:12I know it must have been a very dark time.
00:53:15She was my rock.
00:53:17I can be the rock of your life now.
00:53:21I'm gonna be the person you lean on when you need it.
00:53:25You know, sometimes I just want to rip your clothes off and drag you to bed,
00:53:30and other times I just want to get closer and feel your heart beating next to mine.
00:53:43My heart is racing for you.
00:53:51I don't know where you've been, but I'm glad that you're here.
00:54:03I'm gonna take you by the hand and lead you to the fast part.
00:54:09Girl, it's our time.
00:54:11Just you and I.
00:54:13Don't run, don't hide.
00:54:17No.
00:54:18I'll do it right.
00:54:20We got all night.
00:54:23I'll take you so high.
00:54:27Yeah.
00:54:28Baby, let me love you.
00:54:30Let me love you.
00:54:32Baby.
00:54:33You killed it, Margaret.
00:54:41You're a rock star.
00:54:44We're with you, Margaret.
00:54:45Always.
00:54:46You see?
00:54:47Everyone's with you now.
00:54:49No one supports you now.
00:54:51Because this is a bogus agreement.
00:54:54It's a publicity stunt.
00:54:56You guys just see?
00:54:57Like, like anyone's gonna give her a hundred million dollars.
00:55:01Oh my gosh.
00:55:15Put me through to finance.
00:55:17We need to make a bank transfer.
00:55:19Once they find out that my surprise is better than more companies,
00:55:22they're gonna cut Margaret off like that.
00:55:28Oh, so, uh,
00:55:30who you supported now?
00:55:36Are you sure a moral court was not going to pay us?
00:55:42Are you sure a moral court was not going to pay us?
00:55:48100%.
00:55:48Why would they shell out cash to someone like that?
00:55:52Because a down payment of 30 million dollars
00:55:56just landed in our corporate account.
00:55:59From more corp.
00:56:01Ooh.
00:56:02Long again, Dad.
00:56:04Seems like you're making a lot of money.
00:56:07Just you wait.
00:56:09Once they see that my surprise is superior,
00:56:12all of this
00:56:13could be all gone.
00:56:17Margaret,
00:56:18we want you to know that we support you
00:56:20and we've been on your side all along.
00:56:22Yes.
00:56:24I really appreciate that.
00:56:28Seems like we have some big things to do.
00:56:35Today's the day
00:56:36that we prove our suppression is superior
00:56:38once and for all.
00:56:40and get those stupid reporters off our backs.
00:56:43And as the new fire chief,
00:56:45you know what your job is, right?
00:56:48Fight the fires?
00:56:51No.
00:56:53Make sure you follow my commands.
00:56:59It's them.
00:57:00How did you know they were going to be here?
00:57:04Were you some kind of spy?
00:57:09Were you some kind of spy?
00:57:11Hey, I'm just a regular guy.
00:57:14That's what you said.
00:57:16That's why you like me.
00:57:17Remember?
00:57:17Well, for a regular guy,
00:57:19you sure do have a lot of inside information.
00:57:21I just know they ordered a chopper today.
00:57:23Off record.
00:57:24And I want to know why.
00:57:25There it is.
00:57:39The fires are getting worse.
00:57:41Holy shit.
00:57:42Oh.
00:57:43Oh.
00:57:44No.
00:57:45That's not fire suppressant.
00:57:47It's more like fire starter.
00:57:50Call the chopper and tell him to stop dropping it.
00:57:53Oh, my God.
00:57:54Ah.
00:57:55It's too late.
00:57:56The payloads have all been dropped.
00:57:59Ah.
00:57:59Good God.
00:58:00It's coming our direction.
00:58:01You're an idiot.
00:58:03If this reaches us,
00:58:04everything here is going to blow sky high.
00:58:07Oh.
00:58:10No.
00:58:10How do half of us like this get control of the city?
00:58:13We've got to do something about this.
00:58:14No.
00:58:16I'll figure something out,
00:58:17but first, I've got to get you to safety.
00:58:18Come on.
00:58:19Okay.
00:58:19Come on.
00:58:20Okay.
00:58:21Okay.
00:58:21Okay.
00:58:21Okay.
00:58:21Okay.
00:58:21Okay.
00:58:21For now,
00:58:26I just want you to stay here
00:58:27and be careful.
00:58:28You need to be careful, too, Chris.
00:58:30You're not fireproof, you know.
00:58:34What are you doing here?
00:58:36A step ahead of you.
00:58:37I thought you might need my help.
00:58:39Okay.
00:58:41Yeah, I've got a few things you can do for me.
00:58:42You've got stuff to do for him?
00:58:46But I thought he was your manager.
00:58:48He is.
00:58:49But the thing is,
00:58:50I'm, as your manager,
00:58:54I have to look after my employees.
00:58:57Why, I might even give you a raise next year, Chris.
00:59:03Just stay here.
00:59:04Keep a watch on the fire alerts, okay?
00:59:06Okay.
00:59:07I will call my people,
00:59:09our people,
00:59:10to protect you.
00:59:11It's a power loop.
00:59:18Call Captain Fire.
00:59:20It happened to come to Margaret's house immediately.
00:59:22Really?
00:59:22You didn't even do that for your own house,
00:59:24which is worth like a hundred million dollars.
00:59:25Just do it, okay?
00:59:27Okay.
00:59:28I'm only saying her house is worth like half a million.
00:59:31The cost of the service is probably 50,000.
00:59:33It's not always about money, Whitman.
00:59:36Okay.
00:59:37Call them right now.
00:59:39You're paying the bill.
00:59:40It's going to be an expensive call.
00:59:50Fire protection service.
00:59:53Where'd they come from?
00:59:54You screwed this up!
01:00:01I could bankrupt you like that!
01:00:04Hold on.
01:00:04I don't know how to fix all of this,
01:00:06but just two words.
01:00:08More Corb.
01:00:10Okay?
01:00:11We buy all their fire suppressant.
01:00:13You know, very hush-hush.
01:00:15And then you get all the credit for it.
01:00:17How?
01:00:18They blocked our calls.
01:00:20We can't get to them.
01:00:21No, we can't.
01:00:23But Margaret can.
01:00:24And she is still my daughter.
01:00:29My critics are politically motivated.
01:00:36We have the fires completely under control.
01:00:39This is bullshit.
01:00:41I grew up in Los Angeles.
01:00:42I played in these parks and in these playgrounds.
01:00:53Now I have to watch it all burn down
01:00:54because these fools won't use a fire suppressant that works.
01:00:58Margaret!
01:00:58I hope you don't mind me interrupting, Mr. Whitman.
01:01:11Huh?
01:01:12Oh, yes.
01:01:13Well, yes, it's my office.
01:01:16But, you know, if it's important.
01:01:17It is.
01:01:19Chris, my father called.
01:01:21He wants something.
01:01:25My father called.
01:01:27He wants something.
01:01:28The answer is no.
01:01:30If there's something that your dad wants,
01:01:32it's probably bad.
01:01:33Maybe not this time.
01:01:35He wants to call a truce.
01:01:42It's very unusual for Mr. Moore
01:01:44to grant a meeting on such short notice.
01:01:46You'll need to be quick.
01:01:48Right.
01:01:48Mr. Moore is a very private man
01:01:50and this meeting is entirely confidential.
01:01:52Do not try to look at his face.
01:01:55Talk.
01:01:56Well, uh, to be a vendor in this city,
01:02:00you have to go through lots of protocols.
01:02:03That takes time.
01:02:05We don't have time.
01:02:07Exactly.
01:02:09You see, Mr. Foster's company is already an approved vendor.
01:02:14And so...
01:02:15So we sell to Mr. Foster.
01:02:17He sells to the city.
01:02:19We can't let anyone know.
01:02:21Do I have that right?
01:02:22You are fast, Mr. Moore.
01:02:25So, what's your price?
01:02:27Free.
01:02:27But you have to answer this one question.
01:02:31Why are you doing this?
01:02:35Well, we were just concerned for the city.
01:02:39Cut the bullshit.
01:02:41Speak to me straight or get out.
01:02:44Okay.
01:02:47Okay.
01:02:48Let's put our cards on the table.
01:02:54We'll put our cards on the table.
01:02:56We're doing this because our fire suppressant didn't work.
01:03:02It made the fires worse.
01:03:05If the public finds out, we're screwed.
01:03:08So, we'd like to use the Moore Corps fire suppressant.
01:03:13But you can't tell anyone.
01:03:16They have to believe we made it.
01:03:17If you agree, I will guarantee permission of the shopping mall you applied for in downtown L.A.
01:03:27Deal?
01:03:30Deal.
01:03:31We'll deliver 2,000 tons of the suppressant this afternoon.
01:03:35But you must deploy it immediately.
01:03:39Fine.
01:03:41Just to confirm, what's the price?
01:03:46Zero.
01:03:47You don't pay a penny.
01:03:51Well, that sounds like a win-win.
01:03:54Cut the formalities.
01:03:56We're done here.
01:03:56Okay.
01:04:03Okay.
01:04:03Thanks.
01:04:07This guy's a prime idiot.
01:04:09He chose for free.
01:04:11He's a billionaire, you fool.
01:04:14He doesn't care about small money.
01:04:16I knew he wanted to build that mall.
01:04:19That's how I got him.
01:04:21I don't understand.
01:04:23Why did you give it to them for free?
01:04:26Because I got exactly what I wanted.
01:04:29It's been an hour.
01:04:45Why haven't we gotten any word?
01:04:47It's been 20 minutes.
01:04:48The pilots need time to confirm.
01:04:50Mrs. Mayor, it worked.
01:04:52It's like a miracle.
01:04:55Moore Corp Suppressant is...
01:04:56Don't say Moore Corp.
01:04:59No one is to know where it's from.
01:05:02As far as the world is concerned,
01:05:05it's our suppressant.
01:05:07You know how much money this is going to make us?
01:05:21You are going to be known as the mayor who saved the city.
01:05:28And you are going to win the next election by a landslide.
01:05:34Exactly.
01:05:35Exactly.
01:05:37Gina, arrange a press conference for tomorrow.
01:05:45We're going to let everyone know I saved Los Angeles.
01:05:57Every news outlet is saying the same thing.
01:06:00It's not a fluke.
01:06:02The first time in a week, the fires are retreating.
01:06:05What about the suppressant?
01:06:08They've dropped all of it.
01:06:09And they want more.
01:06:10The winds have even died down.
01:06:13It's like nature is on our side now.
01:06:15Finally.
01:06:21Finally.
01:06:24The mayor has called a press conference.
01:06:25You know she's going to take credit for stopping the fires.
01:06:29I know she's going to try.
01:06:32Oh, what about Margaret?
01:06:34This is not good, boss.
01:06:36She really thinks I run Moore Corp.
01:06:38I don't know why.
01:06:40You are entirely unconvincing.
01:06:42I'm totally convincing.
01:06:45What you need is some acting classes.
01:06:47Don't you think it's time to let her in on this?
01:06:52As a matter of fact, I've got it all planned out for tonight.
01:06:56One step ahead of you, boss.
01:07:01Margaret?
01:07:02I have to tell you something.
01:07:03It's my father trying to sabotage me again.
01:07:05You know, I'm not afraid of him.
01:07:06No, it's not like that.
01:07:09It's about your husband.
01:07:20My husband, he is totally overprotective.
01:07:23You know that I had to convince him
01:07:25that it was safe enough for me to come into my own office.
01:07:28Margaret, it's about those rings.
01:07:36I have a surprise for you tonight, sweetheart.
01:07:43Two dozen fresh roses.
01:07:46Noki de la Luna.
01:07:48Oh, and I can finally tell you
01:07:50those rings on your finger are real.
01:07:55They are a little ridiculous.
01:07:57I mean, who has diamonds this size?
01:07:59Well, that's the thing.
01:08:01Some people do have diamonds that size.
01:08:04There's a name for those people.
01:08:05Billionaires.
01:08:08Isabel, what are you talking about?
01:08:11Margaret, I've got something to tell you.
01:08:14Now, I would have told you sooner,
01:08:16but you hate rich people so much
01:08:18that I was afraid you would be a guillotine out.
01:08:22How much do you know
01:08:23about Moor Corp's CEO, Christopher Moore?
01:08:27He's some rich guy?
01:08:29Who never met with you
01:08:30because he doesn't make public appearances.
01:08:33Yeah, so?
01:08:35Do you remember that private investigator
01:08:38we used to look into that auditing glitch last year?
01:08:40Good God, Isabel,
01:08:41would you just tell me what you're talking about?
01:08:43I asked the PI to trace known records of Moor.
01:08:46There was very little there,
01:08:49but he did find one tidbit.
01:08:51Moor purchased some jewelry.
01:08:53Okay, yeah, rich guys buy jewelry, so what?
01:08:58So, this is what he bought.
01:09:03Look familiar?
01:09:04Yeah, those look like my rings.
01:09:07So, he bought the real ones and Chris bought copies.
01:09:10Well, this is the ledger entry.
01:09:12Look at the date.
01:09:14He bought these in LA
01:09:15the same day that Chris gave you those.
01:09:18Okay.
01:09:18Okay.
01:09:18Okay.
01:09:19Okay.
01:09:19Okay.
01:09:19Okay.
01:09:19Okay.
01:09:20Okay.
01:09:23So, that means my husband is
01:09:27Christopher Moore?
01:09:30So, you're making a fire suppressant
01:09:32because you work for Moor Corp?
01:09:34Kind of.
01:09:35Margaret is a master of outreach.
01:09:37She will set up a strategic partnership
01:09:39with the Moore Corporation.
01:09:41Good morning, Mr. Moore.
01:09:42I trusted him.
01:09:43How many times am I going to be lied to in my life?
01:09:46Margaret, your husband's a billionaire.
01:09:49Who cares about you?
01:09:51Every woman in LA wants to be you.
01:09:53No.
01:09:53No, this is so wrong.
01:10:00Okay.
01:10:02Cash was in the oven.
01:10:03Salads in the fridge.
01:10:05Jean-Fillard Beaujolais on the chill.
01:10:07Now, I just have a prayer that you'll listen to me with an open heart.
01:10:26Margaret, I have something to tell you.
01:10:30Margaret, I have something to tell you.
01:10:34Margaret, I...
01:10:35Don't say another word.
01:10:40Just leave.
01:10:43You're a liar!
01:10:44You're a liar!
01:11:00I am proud to announce
01:11:02that the fires that have been ravaging this city
01:11:05are now extinguished.
01:11:10These fires are out
01:11:11because of our brave mayor,
01:11:13Michelle Davis.
01:11:16And I just want to say thank you to the firefighters.
01:11:19I am the one who put out these fires.
01:11:24This girl...
01:11:25You really kicked a billionaire out of your house?
01:11:29He lied to me.
01:11:31I've had enough betrayal for an entire lifetime.
01:11:33I'm sure he had his reasons.
01:11:35He didn't mean to hurt you, Margaret.
01:11:36And I would like to acknowledge myself for the courage,
01:11:49the vision,
01:11:51and the leadership
01:11:53that great leaders show
01:11:55when they're leading.
01:11:56You cannot overstate how stupid she is.
01:12:04Can I just say one more?
01:12:05No, you cannot.
01:12:08The fire suppressant
01:12:09that put out the fires
01:12:11was created by me
01:12:14and deployed
01:12:15at my command.
01:12:19Yes, yes.
01:12:20Yes, thank you.
01:12:21It's me who saved L.A.
01:12:25Support me.
01:12:27Vote for me.
01:12:29Y'all know you can trust me.
01:12:34God bless...
01:12:37Ladies and gentlemen,
01:12:39excuse me.
01:12:45Everything that you have just heard
01:12:47is a fairy tale.
01:12:50Fiction.
01:12:51A lie.
01:12:53Oh, my goodness.
01:12:55Is that your billionaire husband?
01:13:02The mayor has been lying to you all.
01:13:05Pay no attention to this man.
01:13:07Security!
01:13:09Have him removed.
01:13:10Y'all pay no attention to this.
01:13:12There's nothing to see here.
01:13:14The firemen are the true heroes
01:13:16who saved this city.
01:13:17The mayor has time and time again
01:13:19tried to stop them.
01:13:20That is bullshit.
01:13:23Security!
01:13:23Do your jobs!
01:13:25No, no, no.
01:13:25Let him speak.
01:13:27It's a free country.
01:13:28Yeah, let him talk.
01:13:30Yeah, we want a statement.
01:13:31Yeah, let him talk.
01:13:32Yeah, let him talk.
01:13:33Mayor Davis,
01:13:34why are you afraid of this man?
01:13:35Are you hiding something?
01:13:37Of course not.
01:13:38She's afraid of me
01:13:39because she knows
01:13:40that I can tell you all right now
01:13:42what actually happened.
01:13:43And why should we listen to you?
01:13:47Because the fire suppressant
01:13:48that actually built the fires
01:13:50was supplied by Moor Court.
01:13:52And I am the CEO
01:13:53of Moor Court.
01:13:54I am Christopher Moore.
01:13:59Well, he's not hiding
01:14:00his identity anymore.
01:14:02He's taking on the whole city.
01:14:05Instead of trying to put the fires out,
01:14:07the mayor and her collaborators
01:14:08were profiting off of them.
01:14:12I want to watch this live.
01:14:13You coming?
01:14:15No.
01:14:16Yes, hold on, Isabel.
01:14:27My company has been trying
01:14:28to assist the firefighters.
01:14:31He's the CEO of Moor Court.
01:14:33Why didn't you tell me, dumbass?
01:14:35If we don't stop him,
01:14:37we're all screwed.
01:14:38Then do something to stop him.
01:14:39The mayor threatened us
01:14:40and time and time again
01:14:42tried to get in our way.
01:14:44That is not true.
01:14:46Look, I received a medal
01:14:48for all of my hard work
01:14:50in putting out those fires.
01:14:52I wouldn't have given myself
01:14:53this medal if I didn't deserve it.
01:14:56Mr. Moore, I think there's been
01:14:58a little misunderstanding
01:14:59that I speak to you privately.
01:15:02The mayor wanted me to remind you
01:15:04of that permission
01:15:06from the shopping mall.
01:15:09Oh, of course.
01:15:10That reminds me of Whitman.
01:15:14Let's play them that video we brought.
01:15:16The power of fire suppressant didn't work.
01:15:24It made the fires worse.
01:15:27If the public finds it out,
01:15:29we are screwed.
01:15:31Why are you hiding the truth
01:15:33from the citizens in your own city?
01:15:35Okay, this is a complete fabrication.
01:15:39Look at that.
01:15:39It's an AIGC deepfake.
01:15:42I have something to say about that.
01:15:52No.
01:15:54No!
01:15:55This man has no business here.
01:15:57He was fired for dereliction of duty.
01:16:01Officers!
01:16:02Remove him!
01:16:02Are you going to stop?
01:16:12No search.
01:16:13We'll clear the way.
01:16:15Everyone,
01:16:16wait for Chief Taylor and his men.
01:16:19They're heroes.
01:16:25They're heroes.
01:16:26Stop, then.
01:16:28That's an order.
01:16:30Now, uh...
01:16:31You've got to stop by that.
01:16:32You guys can't come up here.
01:16:34This is...
01:16:35This is a violation.
01:16:36Don't you touch me!
01:16:41We want Chief Taylor reinstated.
01:16:44Yeah!
01:16:44That's right!
01:16:45Taylor!
01:16:46Taylor!
01:16:47Taylor!
01:16:47Taylor!
01:16:48Taylor!
01:16:49Taylor!
01:16:50Taylor!
01:16:50Taylor!
01:16:51Taylor!
01:16:51Shut up!
01:16:54All of you are fired!
01:16:56No!
01:16:57You can't do that!
01:16:58Let him speak!
01:17:02Stop touching me!
01:17:04Ladies and gentlemen,
01:17:05the reason I was dismissed
01:17:07is because I refused
01:17:09to use the mayor's defective
01:17:11fire suppressant.
01:17:13You can't prove that!
01:17:15Actually,
01:17:16I can.
01:17:17All the data is in these documents.
01:17:21They include sworn testimony
01:17:24from the pilots
01:17:25who were eyewitnesses.
01:17:27Mayor Davis,
01:17:28this is a huge scandal.
01:17:30You should resign.
01:17:32Get out of here!
01:17:33No!
01:17:34No!
01:17:35Listen to me!
01:17:36Stop it!
01:17:37Stop it!
01:17:39Stop it!
01:17:39Stop it!
01:17:39Stop it!
01:17:40Stop it!
01:17:40Stop it!
01:17:41Stop it!
01:17:41Stop it!
01:17:42Stop it!
01:17:42Stop it!
01:17:43Stop it!
01:17:43Stop it!
01:17:43Stop it!
01:17:44Stop it!
01:17:45Stop it!
01:17:46Stop it!
01:17:46Stop it!
01:17:49Before we wrap this up,
01:17:51I'd like to share
01:17:52something personal.
01:18:00Before we wrap this up,
01:18:01I'd like to share
01:18:03something personal
01:18:04with you all.
01:18:06Chief Taylor,
01:18:07if you don't mind.
01:18:08Go ahead.
01:18:11We've all lived
01:18:12through this
01:18:13horrible disaster,
01:18:15but
01:18:16in the midst
01:18:17of tragedy,
01:18:18sometimes
01:18:18you can find
01:18:19clarity,
01:18:20beauty,
01:18:22and even love.
01:18:23The catastrophe
01:18:24of these
01:18:25LA wildfires
01:18:26has brought
01:18:28much darkness,
01:18:29but it's also
01:18:30brought people
01:18:31together.
01:18:32It brought a woman
01:18:33with a beautiful
01:18:34heart into my life,
01:18:36and if I can take
01:18:36a moment of your time,
01:18:37I'd like to try
01:18:38to get a message
01:18:39to her.
01:18:39Margaret,
01:18:42I love you.
01:18:45It hurts
01:18:46to not be with you.
01:18:49I know I kept
01:18:50things from you,
01:18:50and that
01:18:51was not right.
01:18:53I don't expect
01:18:53you to forgive me,
01:18:55but if I'm
01:18:56being honest,
01:18:57you're the only person
01:18:58I'll ever love.
01:19:00LA is full
01:19:01of idols
01:19:02and superstars,
01:19:04but you,
01:19:06you're the only
01:19:07superstar
01:19:07I've ever wanted
01:19:09or will ever want.
01:19:12The fires
01:19:13may be out
01:19:14now,
01:19:15but there's a fire
01:19:16in my heart
01:19:17that will never
01:19:18stop burning.
01:19:20It will burn
01:19:21forever
01:19:21for you.
01:19:27So,
01:19:28if you can find
01:19:29it in your heart
01:19:29to forgive me,
01:19:30no matter
01:19:31how much time
01:19:32it takes,
01:19:32I will be waiting.
01:19:34I don't know
01:19:35where you are,
01:19:36but I hope
01:19:37somehow
01:19:39you've heard
01:19:40my message.
01:19:45I heard it.
01:19:50Margaret,
01:19:51last time
01:19:53you proposed
01:19:54to me,
01:19:55now I'm
01:19:56proposing to you.
01:20:00Margaret,
01:20:04will you marry me
01:20:05and be my wife?
01:20:30you're doing
01:20:42the melting thing
01:20:42again.
01:20:43I thought you
01:20:44were doing it.
01:20:47I did.
01:20:49Mom,
01:20:49that's not good.
01:20:51Christopher Moore
01:20:51is accusing you
01:20:52of embezzlement,
01:20:53money laundering,
01:20:53securities fraud.
01:20:56I will make
01:20:57his life
01:20:57a living hell.
01:20:58Michelle Davis,
01:21:01you're under arrest
01:21:02on 12 counts
01:21:03of corruption.
01:21:04Are you insane?
01:21:06You just committed
01:21:07career suicide.
01:21:09You're fired.
01:21:11You're on fire.
01:21:12Get your hands
01:21:12over her.
01:21:13She's the mayor.
01:21:14You are under arrest
01:21:16for interfering
01:21:16with the law enforcement.
01:21:18Let's go.
01:21:18Take them both.
01:21:19You have the right
01:21:20to remain silent.
01:21:21I fired you!
01:21:22Well,
01:21:22I'm going to regret this.
01:21:27Hurry up.
01:21:28We need to run.
01:21:28The police
01:21:29will be here soon.
01:21:29Why should I leave?
01:21:31I don't want
01:21:31to go anywhere.
01:21:32I've got three tickets
01:21:33to Venezuela.
01:21:35You get to sit
01:21:36by the window.
01:21:37We have to rebuild
01:21:38our lives there.
01:21:39Don't worry.
01:21:40I have plenty of cash
01:21:41and I have a buyer
01:21:42lineup for the house.
01:21:44Apologies.
01:21:45But you can't sell
01:21:46something that's
01:21:47not rightfully yours.
01:21:50What the hell
01:21:50is going on here?
01:21:52You can't sell
01:21:52my mother's house
01:21:53because you acquired
01:21:54it illegally.
01:21:55Oh, Margaret.
01:21:59My daughter.
01:22:00I wasn't going to sell it.
01:22:02It belongs to you.
01:22:04Your mother's company,
01:22:05her home,
01:22:06it's all yours.
01:22:08Chris.
01:22:10Mr. Moore.
01:22:12I'm your father-in-law.
01:22:15I'm almost 60.
01:22:16You don't want to
01:22:16put me away,
01:22:17do you?
01:22:18You know,
01:22:19you have a good point,
01:22:20Dad.
01:22:21Oh, wait.
01:22:22You asked me specifically
01:22:23to not call you that.
01:22:26You know,
01:22:26in fact,
01:22:26since the day
01:22:27that I met you,
01:22:28you've done nothing
01:22:28but tried to destroy
01:22:29your own daughter.
01:22:31You're paying
01:22:31for what you did,
01:22:32Dad.
01:22:34Hey,
01:22:35how dare you
01:22:37put your own
01:22:38father in jail?
01:22:40You
01:22:40are an ungrateful
01:22:42little bitch.
01:22:45Oh,
01:22:46I forgot.
01:22:47You can't leave
01:22:48the country
01:22:48until the trial's over.
01:22:50Oh,
01:22:59and by the way,
01:23:00your assets are frozen
01:23:02so you can't stay
01:23:02at this hotel.
01:23:03But don't worry,
01:23:05we've made arrangements
01:23:06for you to stay
01:23:07at a different place.
01:23:09What other arrangements?
01:23:11You know that Motel 6
01:23:12right around the corner?
01:23:13Ah!
01:23:14What?
01:23:15Oh, my...
01:23:15No.
01:23:16No, no, no!
01:23:20Those cheating scumbags
01:23:25can't get their hands
01:23:26on this house
01:23:26ever again.
01:23:33I bet your mom
01:23:34was an amazing person.
01:23:35And I'm sure
01:23:36she loved you so much.
01:23:38She always wanted me
01:23:39to get married
01:23:39in her wedding dress.
01:23:41She'd say
01:23:50no matter
01:23:50where she was,
01:23:52she'd be able
01:23:52to feel it.
01:23:53Heart to heart.
01:23:55But you think
01:23:55I think
01:23:58you were so radiant
01:23:59that she could
01:24:01most certainly
01:24:01see her glow
01:24:02all the way from heaven.
01:24:03Well,
01:24:04if she is really
01:24:05looking down,
01:24:06then she'll be
01:24:07very glad to know
01:24:08that I found
01:24:09a much better man.
01:24:11And I bet
01:24:11she'd be so excited
01:24:12to know
01:24:13that I'm marrying
01:24:14a...
01:24:15...no!
01:24:18A fireman.
01:24:19Mother.
