00:00:03There you are! Natalie!
00:00:07Did Leon tell you he won't be home tonight?
00:00:10I'm borrowing your husband again, hope you don't mind.
00:00:13Actually, I do.
00:00:15Liam is my husband, Chloe, not yours.
00:00:17You know Liam doesn't love you, he was just forced to marry you.
00:00:20If it comes down to a choice between you and me, he's always going to pick me.
00:00:26Do you smell something burning?
00:00:29Massive wildfires have erupted in Los Angeles.
00:00:32Extreme heat, dry conditions, and strong winds are fueling the flames,
00:00:35destroying thousands of acres of forest.
00:00:37Communities are under emergency evacuation as the government declares a state of emergency.
00:00:42The wildfire caused a gas explosion at Lemon's Bar. Emergency rescue!
00:00:57Team leader Liam, attend a victim in the corner, we'll take the rest.
00:01:04Liam, please.
00:01:11Liam, this is your choice.
00:01:22Mrs. Blair, you have a concussion. We need next of kin to sign off on your discharge.
00:01:26I'll call my husband, Liam Blair. He's a firefighter.
00:01:31You've called Liam. Leave a message.

00:07:42you know he'll hate this i love your father but i can't live like this anymore
00:07:51nice meeting you
00:08:04what's wrong dad's had a heart attack we need to get to the hospital
00:08:13dad
00:08:17i'm fine in good hands here what happened i was on the yacht watching the wildfire spread across the
00:08:25mountains like a fire-breathing dragon it was so terrifying that my heart just stopped then
00:08:30i thought about how i'd never get to see you two start a family or meet my grandkids and somehow
00:08:34got my phone out and dialed
00:08:40that was my last hope you two saved my life
00:08:49your father will need bypass surgery i've booked him for surgery in two weeks to allow him time to
00:08:55stabilize what can we do he needs to stay calm until then no excitement or agitation
00:09:05are you okay yeah i guess i was hoping it wouldn't be so extreme
00:09:11he'll be okay he's really fit and he looks after himself well you heard the doctor say we need to
00:09:16keep him calm right he needs hope we can't tell him we're getting a divorce natalie
00:09:24it might literally kill him what are you asking postpone the divorce play a loving couple with me
00:09:39that's a lot to ask you do it for dad just until he gets through the operation
00:09:47i love your father he's been so good to me so you'll do it for your father yes
00:09:53just don't expect me to like it
00:10:00you what you started with a contract marriage now what you're pretending to be a loving couple
00:10:06wow just promise me you won't let yourself get hurt again okay
00:10:10i won't something snapped in me today alicia i just i can't do this anymore i know you've been in
00:10:15love with him since you were kids but any man who could share a house with someone as hot as
00:10:19you
00:10:19and not want to jump your bobs is either gay or impotent and i'm betting on impotent the way he's
00:10:24all work no play around the fire station maybe lambing is impotent it would explain a lot
00:10:34you think i'm impotent
00:10:39and that's my cue to make a run for it team leader
00:10:48not gonna answer my question how would i know you've never laid a finger on me in three years of
00:10:53marriage that was never a part of the deal no sex remember i remember
00:11:01wait did you want me to touch you is that what this is about
00:11:06why are we even having this conversation i agreed to stay together until your father's
00:11:10surgery and i'll stick to that but this marriage is over
00:11:21is that why she wants a divorce she wants our marriage to be real i've just never thought of
00:11:27like that liam i thought you'd gone to work
00:11:46all this time i never noticed my contract wife is a hottie
00:12:01i can't stop thinking about what you said do you really want to throw out the rules
00:12:09do you want to be with me more than anything in the world why didn't you say something sooner

00:29:06next time i ask you to trust me i will remember to bring cctv footage
00:29:23first love who the hell is this guy
00:29:27she put the meal she'd cooked in the fridge for when he got home from work
00:29:32he did so much for other people she wanted to do this small thing for him
00:29:53one thing she loved was folding his clothes for him she had to pretend it wasn't a big deal but
00:29:59she
00:29:59loved touching his clothes imagining him wearing them
00:30:06i was just about to bring you these
00:30:10you didn't need to do that
00:30:15her favorite moment in the day was when he came home
00:30:19she loved his dark hair and his beautiful blue eyes she especially loved the dimple in his chin
00:30:36is it possible my wife has had feelings for me all this time
00:30:44just once she wished he'd cook her favorite pancakes for breakfast or buy her flowers for no reason
00:30:50but she knew it was never going to happen because the only thing he had room for in his life
00:30:55was his work
00:30:59perfect timing short stack coming right up
00:31:07okay guess it's going to be a slightly shorter stack there's maple syrup and honey
00:31:13sorry i'm not hungry
00:31:32what are these for no reason these don't change anything
00:31:42i'm allergic to lilies
00:31:54how are you feeling about your big operation
00:31:59about as good as you think but it has to be done
00:32:06did you know natalie runs a charity event
00:32:09i didn't how long has that been going on a few years now
00:32:16i've been wondering how you got into that you're not interested in all of that
00:32:25i am humor and old man
00:32:29if you insist
00:32:31see you soon
00:32:41still in the doghouse huh
00:32:43how do you know i'm the one who messed up
00:32:45because natalie wouldn't freeze you out unless you've done something really bad
00:32:49so how bad is it
00:32:53i'm still trying to work that out
00:32:56what's your best advice for getting an angry woman to forgive you
00:33:01easy show off those muscles of yours and appeal to her primal instincts
00:33:04better than a thousand words a thousand words
00:33:17we haven't talked about natalie yet i don't want to stay at your place if she's there
00:33:21not after what happened you mean after you hurt yourself
00:33:25if you don't want to go to our place i'll rent you a new apartment but
00:33:29no buts chloe i'm not asking natalie to move out to suit you
00:33:36this is all natalie's fault i hate that
00:33:39bitch

00:34:16what exactly do you want from me liam
00:34:22this whole situation with the divorce dad being sick
00:34:25and this terrible wildfire i guess it's made me take another look at our marriage
00:34:30and
00:34:33and i think if you would just give me a chance maybe we could save it
00:34:36why would i give you another chance to ignore me for three years
00:34:42i haven't ignored you we've already established you don't know my birthday
00:34:46you didn't even know i'm a best-selling author want me to keep going okay okay i can see what
00:34:51you're saying but it wasn't deliberate i was just focused on work no you agreed to marry me because
00:34:56your father gave you an ultimatum to either join the family business or get married then you blamed
00:35:00me for your own decision do you have any idea how lonely this marriage has been for me
00:35:07you're right i did blame you and that was wrong i've been an arrogant idiot and i'm sorry

00:41:31shows how stupid i was
00:41:40i wasn't sure i was going to see you again after you took me home from the hospital
00:41:44let's not talk about any of that i missed you i missed you too
00:41:48i heard that natalie disappeared on you she has no idea how lucky she is
00:41:52i don't want to think about her not while you're here

00:42:05that reminds me i've got some paperwork you need to sign for your widow's pension
00:42:13oh sure where do i sign
00:42:21surprise surprise your handwriting is nothing like the manuscript you put online to prove you
00:42:26what are we talking about you might as well admit it you're the plagiarist
00:42:33people's handwriting changes all the time this doesn't prove anything natalie has dozens of
00:42:38other manuscripts in her own handwriting that prove this book is hers as well this
00:42:43bullshit isn't going to convince anyone i can't believe you're talking to me like this after tom
00:42:49trusted you out of everything to be the one who looked after me
00:42:55don't bring tom into this he thought you were his friend that's why he made you promise to look
00:43:00after me on his deathbed you have a responsibility to him to protect me

00:50:58why are you are you saying all these horrible things to me isn't it enough that i've already
00:51:04lost my husband this has nothing to do with tom
00:51:10you led tom into the fire where he died how do you think people will react when they learn you're
00:51:14trying to blame me your own terrible crimes you don't want to do that i'll do whatever i have
00:51:19to do to protect myself from your lies my husband died a hero people will listen to me when i
00:51:24go public
00:51:30tom didn't die a hero chloe he had a drug problem he was high on drugs the night of the
00:51:34fire
00:51:34that's why he died
00:51:39no
00:51:42don't pretend you didn't know there's no way he could have been so addicted and you didn't notice
00:51:48i didn't do you ever tell the truth why are you being so horrible to me
00:51:57i did my best to help you because of tom i broke natalie's heart a hundred times so i could
00:52:02be there
00:52:03for you and you repaid me by lying to natalie that i got you pregnant and killing alicia you can't
00:52:08prove any of those things these are just stories you're making up because your stupid bitch wife
00:52:12is divorcing you and you don't want it to be your fault you're right i can't prove it yet but
00:52:17i will
00:52:18in the meantime i'll be suing you for defaming natalie see you in court
00:52:25my husband is a hero no one is going to believe you over me
00:52:33almost missed my big moment where's natalie
00:52:40she's not coming there are some things you need to know dad
00:53:15but i guess the hospital wouldn't let him out
00:53:18He needs to focus on getting well after his operation.
00:53:21I'm sorry.
00:53:23I know I fucked up.
00:53:24I know Chloe was pouring poison in your ear about the baby being mine.
00:53:26That was never true.
00:53:27It was Tom's.
00:53:28What does it matter now?
00:53:31I'm going to prove she did this to Alicia if it's the last thing I do.
00:53:34You brought her into our home.
00:53:36You allowed her to steal my manuscript and destroy my reputation.
00:53:39You're the reason Alicia is in that coffin.
00:53:41And so am I.
00:53:42None of this is your fault.
00:53:43Yes, it is.
00:53:44It's my fault for loving you for so long when you treated me like dirt.
00:53:46It's my fault for not leaving you years ago.
00:53:50If I'd listened to Alicia, she'd still be alive.
00:54:05You can let go.
00:54:06I've got her.
00:54:08So have I.
00:54:10She told you to leave her alone.
00:54:12You're only supposed to talk through her lawyer.
00:54:15How about you stay out of my marriage?
00:54:18What marriage?
00:54:20You're about to get a divorce.
00:54:23Maybe if you backed off, we'd have a chance to work things out.
00:54:28How about both of you leave me alone?
00:54:31I didn't mean...
00:54:32I'm not interested in either of you.
00:54:34I just buried my best friend.
00:54:38See?
00:54:39Back off.
00:54:39You first.
00:54:42I cannot wait for our divorce to come through.
00:54:45I really can't.
00:54:50You're getting a divorce?
00:54:58I didn't realize the two of you were having so many problems.
00:55:01Our marriage has never really been happy.
00:55:05I went in hoping it would be a contract marriage that became something else.
00:55:09But Leah always resented me.
00:55:11Because I forced him into the marriage like a stubborn old man.
00:55:16You were trying to help.
00:55:17I understand that.
00:55:20After his mother died in that fire, he became obsessed with never letting it happen to anyone else.
00:55:26He's the most dedicated fireman I know.
00:55:28But you're right.
00:55:29He leaves nothing for himself or me.
00:55:35I hope that having a wife, starting a family would change that.
00:55:40Maybe I just wasn't enough of an incentive for him to change.
00:55:46Never say that, dear girl.
00:55:49He was lucky to have you.
00:55:51Now tell me what you want to happen next and don't hold back on my account.
00:55:56For everything.
00:56:07What have you been talking about for so long?
00:56:09I asked Natalie to tell me everything.
00:56:15And I told her to divorce you, you jackass.
00:56:20You what?
00:56:24For the past three years of marriage,
00:56:27how many times has she faced this darkness alone while I was off playing the hero?
00:56:39Oh, Alicia.
00:56:41I miss you so much.
00:56:44I'm so sorry you got caught up in my mess.
00:56:53Natalie, I've been thinking about you.
00:56:55How are you?
00:56:55Take you one day at a time.
00:56:57Listen, would you have time to catch up tomorrow?
00:56:58I need a favor.
00:57:00Anything for you.
00:57:00And I mean that.
00:57:11I need you.
00:57:12It's my honor.
00:57:13I'll always support you.
00:57:23Alicia's family asked me to pack up her place.
00:57:26Is that what you wanted to ask me?
00:57:27Because I'm happy to help out.
00:57:30No, it's something else.
00:57:32Something important.
00:57:33Let me just grab us both a drink.
00:57:35Then you can fill me in.
00:57:43What are you doing here?
00:57:47Good question.
00:57:50Natalie hates cola.
00:57:51You just wasted your money.
00:57:52How do you know that?
00:57:53It's in one of your books.
00:57:55You prefer raspberry, right?
00:58:04People change, Liam.
00:58:06Do you mind?
00:58:07Alexander's helping me with some private that I'd rather not talk about in front of you.
00:58:12You want me to go?
00:58:15I can help.
00:58:16Tell me what you need.
00:58:19I don't know if I can trust you.
00:58:23She asked you to go, Liam.
00:58:26Is it about Chloe?
00:58:27My lawyers are working on a case against her.
00:58:29It's about Tom.
00:58:35I looked up the rules for Chloe's widow's patient.
00:58:38If Tom's drug addiction comes out, she loses everything.
00:58:44You told her about the drugs?
00:58:50You're still trying to protect Chloe.
00:58:52Unbelievable.
00:58:55I'm trying to protect Tom, who isn't around to defend himself.
00:58:59He was a good man, Natalie.
00:59:01He doesn't deserve to have his name dragged through the mud.
00:59:04What about Alicia?
00:59:05That murderous bitch thinks she's gotten away with what she did.
00:59:07This is the only way I can make her pay, and I don't care if that means trashing Tom's precious
00:59:11reputation.
00:59:12There has to be another way.
00:59:13Look at the great team leader, defending his man to the end.
00:59:17Alicia was on your team too, Liam.
00:59:22Um, hello.
00:59:23Still here, in case anyone cares.
00:59:33Listen, you shouldn't have to stay at Alicia's.
00:59:36It must be full of sad memories.
00:59:38Move back home.
00:59:39I'll move in with Dad.
00:59:45Ride on the road next time!
00:59:51All right.
00:59:52I'll move back, thank you.
00:59:55Do you think you could get home early tonight?
00:59:57Sure.
00:59:58I can grab some stuff for dinner if you like.
00:59:59I don't care about food.
01:00:01We need to discuss the divorce.
01:00:08This is the talk screen from Tom's autopsy.
01:00:11I know you love Tom, but you've protected him long enough.
01:00:15Give this to Natalie.
01:00:16She hates me too much to accept it from me.
01:00:27Oh, hi.
01:00:28I was expecting Liam.
01:00:30He asked me to give you this.
01:00:31This will prove Tom was in breach of the Firefighter's Code when he died.
01:00:35They'll cancel his pension straight away.
01:00:42I'd really like to take you out to dinner sometime soon.
01:00:45I'd like that.
01:00:52I can't believe Liam's going to blow me off again.
01:00:55I'm a fucking coward for not turning up.
01:01:00It's not going to change anything either.
01:01:02She's still going to divorce me.
01:01:06And I don't know how to stop it from happening.
01:01:13Where's Dad?
01:01:14Dad, he said it was an emergency.
01:01:17I asked him to call you because I knew you wouldn't come on your own.
01:01:23I'll save you reading them.
01:01:26I don't want the house, the car, or your money.
01:01:29I just want you out of my life as soon as possible.
01:01:36If I hadn't been such a bad husband, things could have been so different.
01:01:47What's cooking, beautiful?
01:01:49Your favorite.
01:01:52You're my favorite.
01:01:59Good book?
01:02:00Really good.
01:02:03Better than this?
01:02:07Liam, can you please just sign so we can both get on with our lives?
01:02:11It doesn't have to be this way.
01:02:13Can't we try again?
01:02:14It's too late, Liam.
01:02:15You've hurt me too much, just like the unforgettable scars this wildfire has left on Los Angeles.
01:02:20If you care about me at all, just give me my freedom.
01:02:42Where are you going?
01:02:44I don't know yet.
01:02:46Stay here.
01:02:47I want you to have this place.
01:02:49It's your home more than mine.
01:02:50I suppose that's true.
01:02:52You were never here.
01:02:58All right.
01:02:59Yes, I'll take it.
01:03:04I guess this is goodbye then.
01:03:13I only sign because I know that's what you want, and I want you to feel in control of
01:03:16what happens next.
01:03:18I want it to be your choice.
01:03:24What are you talking about?
01:03:27Give me three months.
01:03:28I'll help rebuild everything with the disaster victims, and maybe that'll change your mind
01:03:32about divorcing me.
01:03:36Three months?
01:03:37Okay, one month.
01:03:39Give me a chance to turn things around, and if you still want to file the divorce papers
01:03:43after that, go ahead.
01:03:46I can file them right now, and this will all be over.
01:03:51That's right.
01:03:52It's in your hands.
01:03:54All I want is a chance to make it up to you for everything.
01:03:57Will you give it to me?
01:04:23What the fuck are you doing here?
01:04:27Please.
01:04:28Alexander, you've got to help me.
01:04:30Why would I do that?
01:04:32Because of Tom, I know he saved your life more than once when you were a rookie.
01:04:42What do you want?
01:04:44If Liam has proof to discredit Tom, I'll lose everything.
01:04:48I've already lost Tom and the baby.
01:04:54I need to destroy any evidence that Tom was on drugs.
01:05:01Think about it, please.
01:05:03Do it for Tom.
01:05:11Natalie!
01:05:14Tell Chloe you'll do it.
01:05:16She killed Alicia!
01:05:17Exactly.
01:05:18Tell her she needs to meet you here in the radio room tomorrow, and you'll hand the evidence over.
01:05:22And then what?
01:05:24It's time to make her pay.
01:05:32Finally, things are going my way.
01:05:46You late for something?
01:05:50What's going on, Alexander?
01:05:52There's something you need to know.
01:05:54It's about Natalie...
01:05:56And Chloe.
01:06:04Piece of shit, Alexander!
01:06:16Hello, Chloe.
01:06:19Looking for this?
01:06:21It's amazing Tom could even walk that night.
01:06:23He had so many drugs in his system.
01:06:25Give that to me!
01:06:27Not until you admit you killed Alicia and framed me for placerism.
01:06:31How do I know you're not wearing a wire?
01:06:41I know they'll never be able to prosecute you because you got rid of all the evidence.
01:06:45But I need to hear you say it.
01:06:51All right.
01:06:52I killed Alicia.
01:06:53It was supposed to be you, but she had that stupid face mask on.
01:06:57Happy?
01:07:00Natalie's turned the PA in.
01:07:03And the placerism.
01:07:08Call the police!
01:07:09You were so fucking proud of your career.
01:07:11What better way to hurt you than to steal your book and tell everyone it was mine.
01:07:15Now, give me that.
01:07:19Sure, why not?
01:07:20I've got enough witnesses to your confession now.
01:07:22And this is just a copy.
01:07:28You bitch!
01:07:28I'm going to kill you!
01:07:47It's over, Chloe.
01:07:48You're about to lose everything.
01:07:50Your home, your freedom, all the sympathy you've been milking as Tom's long-suffering widow.
01:07:55Don't let her do this to me, Liam.
01:07:56You and I would be so much better together.
01:08:00How can you choose this pathetic bitch over me?
01:08:02I never chose you.
01:08:04Not even once.
01:08:10Alexander.
01:08:11You know how much I've suffered since Tom died.
01:08:14Don't listen to their lies.
01:08:16None of this is true.
01:08:22No one is ever going to believe a word that comes out of your mouth again.
01:08:27You killed Alicia and your own child.
01:08:30You're a vicious, twisted monster.
01:08:33And they are going to lock you up and throw away the key.
01:08:37You stay away from him!
01:08:39No!
01:08:44Enough!
01:08:45Let me go!
01:08:47No!
01:08:52You're okay?
01:08:56Leo!
01:08:58Leo!
01:08:58Please!
01:08:58I love you!
01:08:59Please!
01:09:01Go to hell.
01:09:10I'm hurting you.
01:09:13It's fine.
01:09:15You should really go to the hospital.
01:09:17It's not that deep.
01:09:19She missed everything important.
01:09:24It was close, though.
01:09:26Why did you do that?
01:09:28Why did you risk your life like that?
01:09:32I couldn't let her hurt you.
01:09:36It was too dangerous.
01:09:38What would your father do if you died?
01:09:41What about you?
01:09:41Would you be upset if I died?
01:09:50Of course I don't want you to die.
01:09:53That's not what I asked.
01:09:59When we signed the divorce papers, I asked you to give me a chance.
01:10:03And you didn't say no.
01:10:05I figured that meant there was still a chance for us.
01:10:19It's time to let us go, Liam.
01:10:21It's over.
01:10:24Chloe has pleaded diminished capacity due to mental illness.
01:10:31Please tell me you're not letting her claim insanity.
01:10:35She has been diagnosed with multiple antisocial personality disorders.
01:10:40The court has ordered that she be confined to a psychiatric institution indefinitely.
01:10:48But she could still get out?
01:10:50No, Mrs. Sinclair.
01:10:51It's unlikely Miss Anderson will ever be released.
01:10:58Then Alicia has her justice.
01:11:00I'll tell her mother.
01:11:10Natalie.
01:11:12How did it go?
01:11:14Chloe's being sent to a psychiatric hospital.
01:11:17Probably for the rest of her life.
01:11:23That's great news.
01:11:25Listen.
01:11:27So sorry I'm late.
01:11:29The wildfire is finally under control.
01:11:31Hopefully they'll hold our table for lunch.
01:11:36Am I too late?
01:11:37Has she already moved on with one of my best friends?
01:11:44Are you two together?
01:11:46I'm trying my best to make it happen.
01:11:50We'd better go.
01:11:54Dad, I need your help.
01:11:56I've tried everything, but Natalie just won't let me back in.
01:11:59My son.
01:12:00You fought so hard to defeat the wildfire.
01:12:04But you could never win back the heart of a woman like that.
01:12:06I really know I was wrong, Dad.
01:12:09Right now, you're my only hope.
01:12:29I'm gonna say her.
01:12:30You got to make it happen.
01:12:36Even though you called Natalie and got her to agree to come to this dinner, she still hasn't shown up.
01:12:40because I never called her.
01:12:42I wanted you to experience how your marriage has felt
01:12:44from Natalie's side for all these years.
01:12:46I've known that for a while now.
01:12:48I didn't need this lesson.
01:12:49I think you did, because if Natalie takes you back,
01:12:51you can never hurt her again.
01:12:53Understand?
01:12:58Good.
01:12:59Now you have my support, my son.
01:13:25Natalie, what happened to your arm?
01:13:26It's just tendinitis from writing too much.
01:13:29What are you doing here, Liam?
01:13:31Dad kicked me out, and the dorm is full at the station.
01:13:36I was wondering if I could crash here for the night.
01:13:38There must be somewhere else you can go.
01:13:40I left my wallet at home, or I'd go to a hotel.
01:13:43Just one night, I promise.
01:13:47All right.
01:13:51You know where the bed liner is?
01:13:52And there should be a spare pillow in the cupboard.
01:13:55Thanks.
01:13:56I can put those away for you, if it helps.
01:13:59That would be good.
01:14:00I'm just gonna grab a quick shower.
01:14:18Natalie, are you okay?
01:14:22I thought you slipped.
01:14:24I knocked the shampoo over.
01:14:27If you want, I could...
01:14:29No, I'm good.
01:14:31Okay.
01:14:31I guess I'll just...
01:14:35So embarrassing.
01:14:37Something smells good.
01:14:38I thought you might be hungry.
01:14:40Need help with that?
01:14:41Oh, no.
01:14:46You really have changed, haven't you?
01:14:47You know that saying,
01:14:48you don't know what you've got till it's gone?
01:14:50I understand now.
01:14:53I had the greatest gift in the world,
01:14:54and I threw it away.
01:14:58Please don't cry.
01:15:00It kills me.
01:15:06I don't want this.
01:15:08It's just a kiss.
01:15:09We can forget about it if you want.
01:15:12I'm going to bed.
01:15:22Gone to work.
01:15:23Breakfast is in the kitchen.
01:15:25Have a good day.
01:15:26And I've already reserved dinner.
01:15:27This time, none of us can miss it.
01:15:33Did you come all the way here just to see me?
01:15:37Yes, Alexander.
01:15:39I have to be honest.
01:15:41I'm not over Liam.
01:15:43You're getting back with him?
01:15:44I don't know yet.
01:15:45I don't know anything, really.
01:15:47Except that it's not fair to you.
01:15:50I'm happy to wait.
01:15:51You're worth it.
01:15:55I don't want to do that to you.
01:15:57I know what it's like to wait for someone you care for.
01:16:01I'm really sorry if I've hurt you.
01:16:05Don't be a stranger, okay?
01:16:07I told you, when you smile,
01:16:09it makes me feel like there's hope in everything.
01:16:14Alexander!
01:16:15Hurry!
01:16:16Just got word.
01:16:17Part of the wildfire has reignited,
01:16:18and it's spreading to the ridge.
01:16:19There's a residential area downwind,
01:16:21and if we don't act now, it'll be too late.
01:16:22But we're running low on water,
01:16:23and our equipment can barely hold up.
01:16:24Going in now is too risky.
01:16:26What's going on?
01:16:27Is it dangerous?
01:16:28Go home, Natalie.
01:16:29I'm sorry.
01:16:30I'll probably miss dinner tonight.
01:16:31But this is my job, my responsibility.
01:16:34I understand, Liam, but please come back safe.
01:16:37We still have so much left to talk about.
01:16:42I don't know when the hell this fire will end,
01:16:43but things between us have changed, haven't they?
01:16:45Wait for me.
01:16:46When I come back, can we start over?
01:16:51Wait for me.
01:16:53Then tell me your answer.
01:16:58Better?
01:17:00Much.
01:17:01Much.
01:17:06We need to talk about these.
01:17:08We've been married for three years,
01:17:10but we never really knew each other, did we?
01:17:13No, we didn't.
01:17:16But it's different now, isn't it?
01:17:19I once asked you if I died, would you care?
01:17:22But you never answered me.
01:17:25The answer is yes, but...
01:17:33Natalie, I know I've hurt you.
01:17:35I know I've messed up so many chances.
01:17:37But I promise you, I now know how to be a good husband.
01:17:40I know how to cherish you the way you deserve.
01:17:43Liam, I believe you.
01:17:45I hope we can...
01:17:46I see you, Natalie.
01:17:47I love you so much.
01:17:49I love you too, Liam.
01:17:50I love you too, Liam.
01:17:56So, Liam, will there never be despair like the wildfire between us again?
01:18:01No, Natalie.
01:18:02Even though the fire is out, our love will never burn out.
01:18:10Breaking news.
01:18:11During Los Angeles' wildfire rescue operation,
01:18:14several firefighters have gone missing after entering the fire zone.
01:18:16Their status is currently unknown.
01:18:18Search and rescue teams are working tirelessly,
01:18:20but due to the fierce fire and challenging terrain,
01:18:22progress has been slow.
01:18:23Let's pray they return safely.
01:18:25Let's pray they return safely.
