00:00:04There 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, destroying thousands of acres of forest.
00:00:38Communities 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.
00:01:41Mrs. Blair, come back!
00:01:45I'm not going.
00:01:50I'm not going.
00:01:52I'm not going.
00:01:57I'm not going.
00:01:58I'm not going.
00:01:59I'm not going.
00:02:01I'm not going.
00:02:02I'm not going.
00:02:03What?
00:02:04I need to talk to you.
00:02:05Not now.
00:02:06What's so important you can't talk to your own wife?
00:02:08You're a contract wife, not a real one.
00:02:10Don't call me at work again.
00:02:24If this is the end of the world,
00:02:28I still have regrets.
00:02:31Sit so we can talk.
00:02:36If we are going to marry,
00:02:38we should know each other better.
00:02:42I know your family are bankrupt,
00:02:44and my father is insisting I either marry you
00:02:46or give up five riding to join the family business.
00:02:48But if we do this, it will be a marriage in name only.
00:02:51No sex, no feelings, definitely no love.
00:02:54Understand?
00:02:56I understand.
00:02:58I did not expect you would go this far for money.
00:03:02You think I married you for money,
00:03:04but I have loved you since I was a little girl, Liam.
00:03:08Ten years of secret love.
00:03:11Three years of marriage.
00:03:13I do not want it to end here.
00:03:23Natalie, what are you doing?
00:03:31I want you to give me a child.
00:03:36I want to have your baby, Liam.
00:03:46What?
00:03:46A contract marriage is bad enough.
00:03:48Now you want to strict me even more with a child?
00:03:50But we've been married for three years.
00:03:52This wildfire is turning the whole city to ash.
00:03:54Can't you spare me a little love?
00:03:55No love, no sex, remember?
00:03:58A contract marriage is still a marriage.
00:04:01I'm your wife, Liam.
00:04:02Enough!
00:04:03Even if this place burns to the down,
00:04:05I will never love you!
00:04:08Something happened today.
00:04:10I was at a bar.
00:04:11Natalie, I've spent the whole day dragging people out of burning houses.
00:04:14I know, one of them was Chloe.
00:04:17Chloe and you, you too.
00:04:19No more questions.
00:04:21Like, I give a shit what you had for lunch!
00:04:27Of course you don't care about me or our contract marriage.
00:04:33Hey, your wife is Natalie Blair, right?
00:04:37Yeah, why?
00:04:38She was injured in the bar explosion caused by the wildfire yesterday.
00:04:44Something happened today.
00:04:46I was at a bar.
00:04:57Okay, Chloe.
00:05:02Chloe had to stay in the hospital overnight.
00:05:04I know she'd appreciate a visit from a friend.
00:05:06We're not really friends.
00:05:07We've only met a couple of times.
00:05:09Then do it to be kind, like you would with my father.
00:05:13Do you fancy her?
00:05:17Just do what I said, Natalie.
00:05:25I thought you were Liam.
00:05:27He asked me to visit.
00:05:29I'm glad you're here.
00:05:30Actually, I think it's better you hear it from me than from Liam.
00:05:33I'm pregnant.
00:05:39Good morning, Mrs. Blair.
00:05:44We've booked you in for all your scans and checkups.
00:05:46I hope your hub husband Liam can be there.
00:05:51Liam isn't against having a child.
00:05:53He just doesn't want one with me.
00:05:56The relentless wildfires in Los Angeles have left residents in despair.
00:06:00Flames rage across Palisades and Eden, forcing tens of thousands to evacuate as their homes are reduced to ashes.
00:06:07One resident said, we have nothing left.
00:06:09This place was everything to us.
00:06:11Excuse me.
00:06:12I'm looking for Liam.
00:06:14You just ducked out to buy something.
00:06:16We don't get much downtime.
00:06:17He won't be long if you want to wait.
00:06:20I'm Alexander, by the way.
00:06:21Natalie.
00:06:22I guess I'll wait if you don't think he'll be long.
00:06:24You're not Liam's wife, are you?
00:06:27That's me.
00:06:28Good to finally meet you.
00:06:29I can understand why Liam kept you all to himself for so long.
00:06:32Smart guy.
00:06:33Don't be scared by my look.
00:06:35The fire's been so bad.
00:06:36But if I could see an angel like you smile, I'd feel like there's still hope.
00:06:55What are you doing here?
00:06:56I saw your name on the casualty list for yesterday.
00:06:58Were you at the Lemons bar when it exploded?
00:07:02I want a divorce.
00:07:06Is this some kind of joke?
00:07:10I've spoken to my lawyer.
00:07:12She says we need to sign these forms to get the process started.
00:07:16Can I at least have a reason?
00:07:17I thought you'd be happy.
00:07:19It's what you want, isn't it?
00:07:21I get it.
00:07:22You've sucked enough money out of my family, so now it's time to move on.
00:07:25Think what you want.
00:07:26I don't care how you see me anymore.
00:07:27Liam, I've waited for you for three years.
00:07:29Now I believe what you said.
00:07:31That even if this place burns to the ground, you'll never love me.
00:07:33I'm done.
00:07:35I don't want to burn to death with this damn marriage anymore.
00:07:38This is what you want.
00:07:39What about my father?
00:07:41He arranged this marriage.
00:07:42You know he'll hate this.
00:07:43I love your father, but I can't live like this anymore.
00:07:51Nice meeting you.
00:07:58Dead time.
00:07:59Swing up the cameras.
00:08:00What?
00:08:01I'll be right there.
00:08:04What's wrong?
00:08:05Dad's had a heart attack.
00:08:06We need to get to the hospital.
00:08:13Dad!
00:08:17I'm fine.
00:08:19In good hands here.
00:08:20What happened?
00:08:22I was on the yacht, watching the wildfire spread across the mountains like a fire-breathing
00:08:26dragon.
00:08:26It was so terrifying that my heart just stopped.
00:08:30Then I thought about how I'd never get to see you two start a family or meet my grandkids
00:08:33and somehow got my phone out and dialed.
00:08:40That was my last hope.
00:08:43You two saved my life.
00:08:49Your father will need bypass surgery.
00:08:52I've booked him for surgery in two weeks to allow him time to stabilize.
00:08:55What can we do?
00:08:57He needs to stay calm until then.
00:08:59No excitement or agitation.
00:09:05Are you okay?
00:09:06Yeah.
00:09:07I guess I was hoping it wouldn't be so extreme.
00:09:11He'll be okay.
00:09:12He's really fit and he looks after himself well.
00:09:14You heard the doctor say we need to keep him calm, right?
00:09:17He needs hope.
00:09:19We can't tell him we're getting a divorce, Natalie.
00:09:24It might literally kill him.
00:09:27What are you asking?
00:09:28Postpone the divorce.
00:09:30Play a loving couple with me.
00:09:39That's a lot to ask.
00:09:40You do it?
00:09:41For dad?
00:09:42Just until he gets through the operation.
00:09:47I love your father.
00:09:48He's been so good to me.
00:09:50So you'll do it?
00:09:51For your father, yes.
00:09:53Just don't expect me to like it.
00:10:00You what?
00:10:01You two started with a contract marriage?
00:10:03Now what?
00:10:03You're pretending to be a loving couple?
00:10:06Just promise me you won't let yourself get hurt again, okay?
00:10:10I won't.
00:10:11Something snapped at me today, Alicia.
00:10:12I just...
00:10:13I can't do this anymore.
00:10:14I know you've been in love with him since you were kids, but
00:10:16any man who could share a house with someone as hot as you
00:10:19and not want to jump your bobs is either gay or impotent.
00:10:22And I'm betting on impotent, the way he's all work, no play around the fire station.
00:10:27Maybe lambing is impotent.
00:10:28It would explain a lot.
00:10:35You think I'm impotent?
00:10:39And that's my cue to make a run for it.
00:10:43Team leader.
00:10:45Okay.
00:10:48Not gonna answer my question?
00:10:49How would I know?
00:10:50You've never laid a finger on me in three years of marriage.
00:10:53That was never a part of the deal.
00:10:55No sex.
00:10:56Remember?
00:10:57I remember.
00:11:00Wait.
00:11:01Did you want me to touch you?
00:11:02Is that what this is about?
00:11:06Why are we even having this conversation?
00:11:08I agreed to stay together until your father's surgery and I'll stick to that, but this marriage is over.
00:11:22Is that why she wants a divorce?
00:11:24She wants our marriage to be real?
00:11:26I've just never thought of her like that.
00:11:30Liam!
00:11:31I 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.
00:12:04Do you really want to throw out the rules?
00:12:09Do you want to be with me?
00:12:11More than anything in the world.
00:12:13Why didn't you say something sooner?
00:12:14I'm saying it now.
00:12:16What are you gonna do about it?
00:12:23I've been waiting so long for you.
00:12:26Don't make it so sweet for you, baby.
00:12:29Lie back and let me take care of you.
00:12:42Shit!
00:12:43That was just a dream?
00:12:47Chloe, what's up?
00:12:48Liam, I'm freaking out.
00:12:50They're sending me home from the hospital tomorrow, but my house was destroyed in the wildfire.
00:12:56Now I'm homeless and pregnant.
00:12:58Can I move in with you?
00:13:02So what do you think?
00:13:04Should we give Chloe the guest room?
00:13:07It's up to you.
00:13:08You live here too.
00:13:12Not for much longer.
00:13:15Do whatever suits you, Liam.
00:13:17I'll see you around, I guess.
00:13:22I don't know, man.
00:13:23It's one thing to help Tom's widow out after he died on the job, but moving her into your place?
00:13:28That's a lot.
00:13:29She doesn't have anyone else.
00:13:30Her house was burned down too.
00:13:32What does Natalie think?
00:13:34She said it's my call since we'll be divorcing soon.
00:13:36About that.
00:13:38Since you guys are calling it Tuz, how would you feel about me asking her out?
00:13:42Natalie?
00:13:42Yeah.
00:13:43No offense, but she's like a summer mint ice cream.
00:13:46One bite and she could save my life.
00:13:49She's her own person.
00:13:50I'm not going to stand in the way.
00:13:51Thanks, man.
00:14:01You're a lifesaver, Liam.
00:14:03Thank you so much for taking us in.
00:14:06No problem.
00:14:08Let me know if you need extra pillows or whatever.
00:14:13Is Natalie home?
00:14:15Must be.
00:14:20Damn.
00:14:21I think I've got something in my eye.
00:14:23Let me see.
00:14:35Whoops.
00:14:41You going out?
00:14:47I have a date.
00:14:51Hey, man.
00:14:53Wow.
00:14:54You look great.
00:14:58Hi, Alexander.
00:15:00Chloe.
00:15:05Thank you so much for spending this rare day off with me.
00:15:08Ready to go?
00:15:11100%.
00:15:12You're going to make me blush.
00:15:23This is my favorite place.
00:15:25It's perfect.
00:15:27Thanks.
00:15:34Oh, my back's so sore.
00:15:37Tom used to give me the best back rubs.
00:15:42You should go lie down.
00:15:46Maybe I will.
00:15:58Hey, Natalie.
00:16:00It's Liam.
00:16:00I thought you'd want to know.
00:16:02Dad's asking for you and visiting hours ends soon.
00:16:05Of course.
00:16:06I'll be there as soon as I can.
00:16:08Sorry.
00:16:19That bitch Natalie doesn't deserve, Liam.
00:16:21Liam is mine.
00:16:33Hello.
00:16:34Didn't think I'd see you today.
00:16:37I thought you asked me to come in.
00:16:41Dad was just telling me that the doctors are really happy with his latest blood results.
00:16:47That's great news.
00:16:49I told them I've always been a high achiever.
00:16:51Can't slack off now.
00:16:54Sorry, but we need you for a few more tests, Mr. Blair.
00:16:57Don't worry, we'll wait for you.
00:17:18God, you're beautiful.
00:17:21Oh, sorry.
00:17:26Hi.
00:17:42Hey there.
00:17:43These look great.
00:17:48Please, aren't you saying sorry for any of your haters?
00:17:54Chalk chip.
00:17:55My favorite.
00:17:56And you can make it up to me by saying yes to another date.
00:17:58Oh, yeah.
00:17:59Have you ordered those extra masks we need yet?
00:18:02I was going to do it this afternoon.
00:18:05Things are really tight right now.
00:18:07You'll miss the delivery cutoff.
00:18:08Get onto it now.
00:18:10Sure thing, boss.
00:18:12I'll call you.
00:18:16We could grab some lunch if you like.
00:18:20Oh, okay.
00:18:21What were you thinking?
00:18:22There you are.
00:18:23Have you forgotten we've got a prenatal checkup today?
00:18:28Looks like you're busy.
00:18:29Good luck with the appointment.
00:18:37I keep letting my guard down and he keeps reminding me why I need it up in the first place.
00:18:45Fuck him.
00:18:46He's the dumbest man on the planet for cheating on you with that horrible bitch.
00:18:55It's him.
00:18:56He's asking me out for dinner tonight, 7 o'clock.
00:18:59What are you going to say?
00:19:04The nurse said these tests probably won't be done until late.
00:19:07You can stay with me though, right?
00:19:09I hate doing all this alone when Tom should be with me.
00:19:23I can't believe I let you suck me in again.
00:19:33What time is it? Where's Chloe?
00:19:35Two. She had to stay in overnight.
00:19:38Sorry about dinner. Did you eat?
00:19:40When you didn't come home, I had some breakfast cereal.
00:19:45But I texted to cancel.
00:19:47Shit. It didn't send.
00:19:49We were in the x-ray department. The walls are thick down there.
00:19:53Sure you don't want some pizza?
00:19:55I'm not sure if I should let him in again.
00:20:06God, I love Hawaiian pizza.
00:20:07I know. That's why I got it.
00:20:12You look surprised.
00:20:15Because I am.
00:20:16News flash, you don't usually care about what I like or don't like.
00:20:19You probably don't even know when my birthday is.
00:20:22It's in January, isn't it?
00:20:25I'm not good with dates, but I'm not that bad, am I?
00:20:28All you ever care about or think about is your work.
00:20:31Duty. Doing the right thing for everyone else.
00:20:34We might as well be two strangers sharing this place.
00:20:40I'm sorry for making you feel unimportant.
00:20:43I never thought I'd hear you say something like that.
00:20:47Lately, I've been realizing what it feels like to be on the outside of my own marriage.
00:20:52I guess that's how you've felt for the past three years, right?
00:20:56Yes.
00:21:00I'm sorry.
00:21:02That I hurt you.
00:21:03That I neglected you.
00:21:05You deserve better.
00:21:07There's still hope for our relationship, right?
00:21:14I just remembered I've got an early start.
00:21:17I'm going to visit your dad in the morning.
00:21:19Do you want me to give him anything?
00:21:21Tell him I'll try to get in to see him as well.
00:21:30I know what you're trying to do, but it won't work.
00:21:34Excuse me?
00:21:36Stop clinging to Liam.
00:21:38I'm carrying his baby, Natalie.
00:21:40I've won. You've lost, so get with the program.
00:21:42He's still my husband, Chloe.
00:21:44What do you think people would say if they knew the poor grieving widow has been fucking my husband and
00:21:48is now carrying his child?
00:21:50Bitch. You wouldn't dare.
00:21:52What's stopping me?
00:21:57No, this filthy doesn't tend to me.
00:21:58Guys, no, it's hard. No!
00:22:01Natalie, leave me alone!
00:22:06It hurts. What have you done to my baby?
00:22:11We need help here. Stat! What happened?
00:22:21She pushed me into the chair.
00:22:24You saw her.
00:22:25I did not. I would never do something like that.
00:22:30Oh, God, it hurts so much! Baby the baby! Liam!
00:22:34Stand back, please.
00:22:35Please.
00:22:46I'm sorry the news isn't better.
00:22:48Due to the severe impact, Chloe has miscarried it.
00:22:52You did this to me.
00:22:53You! You took my baby away!
00:22:56I didn't do anything.
00:22:58You're a monster.
00:23:00A horrible, jealous monster!
00:23:05Chloe, no.
00:23:07She's unfinished.
00:23:09Don't say another word.
00:23:13What?
00:23:14What you did here today is unforgivable.
00:23:17Get out of my sight! You disgust me!
00:23:21So you won't even listen to my side?
00:23:23Your own wife?
00:23:25Chloe has lost her child!
00:23:28You and I have been married for three years.
00:23:31How can you think I'd ever be capable of anything so vicious and ugly?
00:23:35I can't do this anymore.
00:23:43He wouldn't even listen to me.
00:23:45And the way he looked at me.
00:23:48Hey.
00:23:49Who cares what that piece of shit thinks of you?
00:23:52If he believes that psycho bitch, they deserve each other.
00:23:56What are you doing?
00:23:57What does it look like?
00:23:59I'm staying at the fire station tonight.
00:24:00I can't be here right now.
00:24:06You need to cancel the wildfire relief gun razor tomorrow.
00:24:09It's too much on top of all of this.
00:24:10I can't.
00:24:11Too many people are counting on me.
00:24:12You're sure you're up to it?
00:24:14Yeah.
00:24:15In these days, with the wildfire still spreading, it'll be good to focus on helping other people.
00:24:18I need to stop dreaming about Liam and get on with my life.
00:24:27Why on earth would you think Natalie could do something like that?
00:24:30Stay out of this.
00:24:31You don't know all the facts.
00:24:33I don't need to.
00:24:34Natalie would never attack Chloe.
00:24:36Ever.
00:24:41Do you have any idea how much you're hurting Natalie?
00:24:47Back off, both of you.
00:24:55Thanks, son.
00:24:56Everything okay?
00:24:57Just got a lot going on right now.
00:24:59Are you and Natalie fighting?
00:25:01It's nothing you need to worry about, Dad.
00:25:02You know, watching you find happiness with Natalie has made me feel less guilty about the bad example your mother
00:25:06and I set for you when we were married.
00:25:08I lost count of the times you broke up and got back together, all the fighting.
00:25:12Natalie has a warm, generous heart.
00:25:15That's why I chose her for you.
00:25:16Because I knew she would show you what a marriage could really be if you gave her a chance and
00:25:20treated her well.
00:25:21That's my real hope.
00:25:25Can you believe she blamed someone else for losing her baby? And it was all caught on security camera.
00:25:30I can't believe it.
00:25:31Can I see that?
00:25:33Just watch the video.
00:25:42You lied about what happened.
00:25:45You injured yourself.
00:25:46What?
00:25:48No, has Natalie been telling you more lies?
00:25:50There's security footage, Chloe. Natalie never touched you.
00:25:53Then how did I fall if she didn't push me?
00:25:55You tell me.
00:25:59You think I would hurt my own child? My last link with Tom? You know how hard it's been for
00:26:05me since he died. I've lost everything. And now Natalie is trying to take you away from me.
00:26:14I've got a call out. We'll talk later.
00:26:16What are we dealing with?
00:26:18The wildfire suddenly changed direction today and the community center is about to be hit. There's some charity event on.
00:26:23Hey, we good?
00:26:24We good.
00:26:28Let's go.
00:26:34Keep low and cover your face.
00:26:36What about you?
00:26:39I'm gonna make sure everyone is out then I'll be right behind you. Go!
00:26:56Alicia!
00:26:57Thank God! Natalie is back there. She wouldn't leave until everyone else was out.
00:27:02Get out of here!
00:27:04I got her!
00:27:07Natalie! Can you hear me? Natalie!
00:27:15She's still alive.
00:27:27Natalie, wake up for me. Come on.
00:27:31How's your throat?
00:27:33I'm fine. You can go now.
00:27:36But-
00:27:36Please just leave me alone, Liam.
00:27:39You're the last person I want helping me.
00:27:45The wildfires continue to rage Los Angeles, with the California government allocating $2.5 billion for rescue and rebuilding efforts.
00:27:51Additionally, various charitable organizations and communities are actively providing emergency shelters, food, longing, and psychological support.
00:27:57The books. Were you able to save them?
00:27:59The fire was only in the front offices. They should be okay.
00:28:02Oh, thank God. Natalie put in so much effort to gather all the donations here.
00:28:06Natalie worked on the wildfire relief fundraiser?
00:28:09Why do you think we're here? This was Natalie's plan. Since the wildfire started, she's donated her earnings as a
00:28:15bizzle-scaling author and used her fame to help others.
00:28:18Since when was Natalie a bestseller?
00:28:20She's one of the top romance authors in the country. How can you not know that?
00:28:23I just thought her writing was a hobby.
00:28:24I can't wait till she divorces your arse and you can spend the rest of your life realizing how badly
00:28:29you fucked up.
00:28:38Are you feeling any better? I'll take you for a full checkup.
00:28:42Don't bother. Since when did you care about me?
00:28:45You can selflessly care for the wildfire victims, but why can't I care for my wife?
00:28:48And there's something you need to know. There was security footage of the incident with Chloe. It shows you never
00:28:53touched her.
00:28:54And?
00:28:54I'm sorry I didn't listen to you. And for all the harsh bullshit I said. You were right. I owed
00:28:58you better than that after all the years I've known you.
00:29:01Bet you feel better with that off your chest now.
00:29:03Natalie.
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.
00:29:33He 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.
00:29:56She had to pretend it wasn't a big deal, but she loved touching his clothes, imagining him wearing them.
00:30:06I was just about to bring you these.
00:30:11You 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.
00:30:23She 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.
00:31:00Perfect timing. Short stack coming right up.
00:31:07Okay, guess it's going to be a slightly shorter stack.
00:31:10There's maple syrup and honey?
00:31:13Sorry, I'm not hungry.
00:31:32What are these for?
00:31:33No reason.
00:31:34These don't change anything.
00:31:43I'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?
00:32:13A few years now.
00:32:16I've been wondering how you got into that.
00:32:19You're not interested in all of that.
00:32:25I am. Humor an old man.
00:32:29If you insist.
00:32:31See you soon.
00:32:42Still 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'd 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?
00:33:00Easy.
00:33:01Show off those muscles of yours and appeal to her primal instincts.
00:33:05Better than a thousand words.
00:33:07A thousand words.
00:33:17We haven't talked about Natalie yet.
00:33:19I don't want to stay at your place if she's there.
00:33:21Not after what happened.
00:33:23You mean after you hurt yourself?
00:33:25If you don't want to go to our place, I'll rent you a new apartment.
00:33:28But...
00:33:29No buts, Chloe.
00:33:30I'm not asking Natalie to move out to suit you.
00:33:36This is all Natalie's fault.
00:33:38I hate that bitch.
00:33:46Have you seen my black jeans?
00:33:48Um, no.
00:33:50Can't find them anywhere.
00:33:54Must have pulled something, huh?
00:34:01Aren't you cold?
00:34:02Nope. Why? Is this bothering you?
00:34:06Are you fishing for compliments?
00:34:10Just wondering if you like what you see.
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.
00:34:37Why would I give you another chance to ignore me for three years?
00:34:42I haven't ignored you.
00:34:44We've already established you don't know my birthday.
00:34:46You didn't even know I'm a best-selling author.
00:34:49Want me to keep going?
00:34:50Okay, okay. I can see what you're saying.
00:34:52But it wasn't deliberate. I was just focused on work.
00:34:55No, you agreed to marry me because your father gave you an ultimatum
00:34:58to either join the family business or get married.
00:34:59Then you blamed me for your own decision.
00:35:02Do 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.
00:35:10I've been an arrogant idiot, and I'm sorry.
00:35:14I read your book, Natalie.
00:35:15It was really good. Funny and romantic.
00:35:18Pretty sexy, too.
00:35:20You're not exactly the target market.
00:35:22I could see a lot of you in it, and it made me want to know even more about you.
00:35:27I know I've hurt you, but if you give me a chance, I think we could have something really special
00:35:33here.
00:35:37I can't believe you're asking me to just forget everything you've done.
00:35:40Not forget, forgive.
00:35:42Give me a chance to make it up to you.
00:35:50Some things are unforgivable.
00:35:53You should be spending time with Chloe.
00:35:58I don't want to be with Chloe. I'm here with you.
00:36:04How can you say that when she just lost your child?
00:36:10What?
00:36:16Given the circumstances, I think the best thing is to just stick to the plan.
00:36:19We wait until your dad is over his operation, and we get a divorce.
00:36:23Natalie...
00:36:24And I'd appreciate it if there were no more pancakes, or you walking around like this.
00:36:28It doesn't help anything.
00:36:33Natalie, wait.
00:36:36You think Chloe is having my baby?
00:36:41No.
00:36:43I don't want to hear your excuses, Liam.
00:36:46Let's just wait until your father has had his surgery, then go our separate ways.
00:36:50Natalie, you need to listen to me.
00:36:56I need to take this.
00:36:59Thank God you picked up.
00:37:02Natalie, something really bad has happened.
00:37:05Self-published author Chloe claims she wrote the story for her deceased husband, Tom, who died heroically fighting a fire.
00:37:15People are going to crucify me, Alicia!
00:37:18We'll find a way to clear your name.
00:37:23Other authors are already denouncing me.
00:37:27We'll fix this, I promise.
00:37:35Good. They got the photo I sent them.
00:38:01What did your publisher say?
00:38:04They believe me, but they have withdrawn my book until I can prove it.
00:38:08I can't believe it.
00:38:15Plagiarist! Cease!
00:38:24My eyes!
00:38:30How are your eyes now?
00:38:37Much better. Thank you for coming over so quickly. I was so scared when my eyes started burning.
00:38:45You were very lucky. And whatever you need, I'm here for you, Natalie.
00:39:02Chloe isn't a writer. What's this bullshit?
00:39:20How can you have your head so far up your ass?
00:39:24What's your problem?
00:39:25Your wife has just been attacked because of Chloe's lies, and you're playing on your phone?
00:39:30Hang on a minute. Chloe didn't-
00:39:43What the fuck, man?
00:39:45If you don't want to take care of Natalie, I will.
00:39:48You need to back off.
00:39:50She's my wife!
00:39:51Then act like a husband. She could have gone blind from the attack tonight.
00:39:56Natalie! Are you okay?
00:40:00I don't know when I will be back, or even if I will be back.
00:40:07Shit. Where is she? Alexander said she'd been attacked?
00:40:10She's not here, but it wouldn't matter if she was. She doesn't want to speak to you.
00:40:13I want to see for myself she's okay.
00:40:15Why do you suddenly care? You are the worst thing that ever happened to Natalie.
00:40:18I can't wait till the divorce is final and you're left with that sick bitch Chloe.
00:40:20You two deserve each other.
00:40:26Asshole.
00:40:30Sorry you had to do that.
00:40:32I would slam a thousand doors in that douchebag's face for you.
00:40:36I don't think I can stay here.
00:40:41Don't worry. I know a place we can go until all this bad publicity dies down.
00:40:47Penny for your thoughts.
00:40:51I was just thinking about the day I fell hard for Liam.
00:40:56How much longer are you going to be? Me and my friend need a table.
00:41:00Sorry, but I'm not finished here.
00:41:02Just because you've got no friends doesn't mean you can take over a whole table just for yourself.
00:41:07Says who? Her friend is right here.
00:41:11Sorry, I'm late.
00:41:13This table is taken. Find another one.
00:41:20I hadn't seen him since we were kids and there he was on his white horse riding to save me.
00:41:25Then his father called and suggested we marry and I thought it was a dream come true.
00:41:31Shows how stupid I was.
00:41:41I 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.
00:41:46I 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.
00:41:57You're right. We shouldn't waste time.
00:42:00It's so precious, don't you think?
00:42:02We need to make the most of it.
00:42:05That reminds me. I've got some paperwork you need to sign for your widow's pension.
00:42:12Oh, sure. Where do I sign?
00:42:21Surprise, surprise. Your handwriting is nothing like the manuscript you put online to prove you wrote Natalie's book.
00:42:27What are we talking about?
00:42:28You might as well admit it. You're the plagiarist, not Natalie.
00:42:33People's handwriting changes all the time. This doesn't prove anything.
00:42:37Natalie has dozens of other manuscripts in her own handwriting that prove this book is hers as well.
00:42:42This bullshit isn't going to convince anyone.
00:42:47I can't believe you're talking to me like this.
00:42:49After Tom trusted you out of everything to be the one who looked after me.
00:42:55Don't bring Tom into this.
00:42:57He thought you were his friend. That's why he made you promise to look after me on his deathbed.
00:43:03You have a responsibility to him. To protect me.
00:43:10The only person I'm protecting is Natalie, my wife.
00:43:14I've let her down in the past, but she's my number one priority now.
00:43:19You're seriously choosing her over me?
00:43:22You've got 24 hours.
00:43:24To publicly apologize to Natalie, or I will personally sue you for defamation and slander.
00:43:29Is that serious enough for you?
00:43:41Nice try.
00:43:45Fire downtown. We're rolling. Both engines.
00:43:5324 hours, Chloe.
00:44:13Hold on, Natalie. I'm coming. Ready or not.
00:44:23What did he say?
00:44:26He'll be here soon.
00:44:28Well, good luck.
00:44:29I need to face him, Alicia, whatever he has to say.
00:44:32I can't keep running from everything.
00:44:36I should jump in the shower. Liam will be here soon.
00:44:40What are you going to say to him?
00:44:42My vote is that you just kick him in the balls and walk away.
00:44:46I'm going to give him a chance to say his piece.
00:44:48And then?
00:44:50I don't know.
00:44:52I have worked with Liam for two years.
00:44:54He's a great team leader, but he is absolutely the worst husband I have ever witnessed.
00:44:59You deserve so much better, girl.
00:45:02Shit. It's Liam. He's early.
00:45:14Oh, I wasn't expecting anyone.
00:45:30Alicia!
00:45:32I'm here, Alicia. Hang on. Help will be here soon.
00:45:37I need an ambulance to the Red Hillens Winery. My friend's been stabbed.
00:45:41Please hurry. There's blood everywhere.
00:45:43The attacker's still in the vicinity. Are you safe, ma'am?
00:45:47I don't know.
00:46:00That's Liam's car!
00:46:01Please don't die. Please don't leave me.
00:46:03I never thought that I wouldn't be burned alive by the wildfire, but instead stabbed in the back by someone.
00:46:10I still have so many regrets, Natalie.
00:46:13I... I really don't want to die.
00:46:21Natalie's all over the news. Apparently she's been stabbed.
00:46:30Please, Alicia. You have to pull through.
00:46:36You're the strongest person I know. You have to live.
00:46:44I think we've stopped the bleeding.
00:46:52I'm so sorry the damage was too extensive. She lost too much blood.
00:46:57No. No, please. I can't lose her. She's my best friend.
00:47:07Natalie, you're alive!
00:47:11Get out of here, murderer! You killed her! You killed Alicia!
00:47:18No! No!
00:47:20No! No! No! No!
00:47:20Natalie, it wasn't me. I've been out of fire all night with the whole crew.
00:47:26I saw your car.
00:47:28Natalie, listen to me. Alexandra was with me the whole time.
00:47:32It was your car. I'd know it anywhere.
00:47:35I don't care what you think you saw. It wasn't me.
00:47:37I would never do something like that.
00:47:40You texted me. I gave you the address.
00:47:42And you said you were coming.
00:47:45I haven't even had my phone on me, Natalie.
00:47:49No!
00:47:50You're not doing this to me.
00:47:53I know what I saw. I know what you texted.
00:47:56You killed Alicia because you thought she was me.
00:47:58You wanted to get rid of me so you could be with Chloe.
00:48:00I don't want to get rid of you, Natalie. Please.
00:48:03You're not making sense.
00:48:09Don't touch me.
00:48:11I will never forgive you for this.
00:48:12And I will spend the rest of my life making sure you pay for what you did to Alicia.
00:48:18Please, just listen.
00:48:19I've been at a fire all night.
00:48:21My car was at the station.
00:48:22My phone was...
00:48:23We...
00:48:26Shit.
00:48:27My car keys and phone were on my bunk.
00:48:30Someone else could have taken them.
00:48:31I'm not listening to this bullshit.
00:48:33Chloe was there when we got the call out.
00:48:35Alexander and I had to roll.
00:48:36She could have taken my car.
00:48:38Even if it was her, it's still your fault Alicia is dead.
00:48:41You let that poisonous psycho into our lives.
00:48:44This is all on you!
00:48:48Oh, God.
00:48:52Alicia.
00:48:54I'm so sorry.
00:48:56I'm sorry.
00:48:58Marrying you was the biggest mistake of my life.
00:49:00I thought I could make you love me, but you treated me like shit for three years.
00:49:05And now my best friend is dead because of you.
00:49:11I hate you, Liam Blair.
00:49:12I never want to see you again.
00:49:13I'm going through with the divorce.
00:49:15This pathetic marriage is over.
00:49:21You don't mean that.
00:49:22Give me a chance to fix things.
00:49:25Can you bring Alicia back to life?
00:49:27Because that's what it's going to take for me to even want to be in the same room as...
00:49:31Do you understand what you've done?
00:49:33Alicia is dead!
00:49:41It's okay, Edie.
00:49:43I've got you.
00:49:46Let her go.
00:49:47Back off.
00:49:48Can't you see she's upset?
00:49:50That's why I want to help.
00:49:53You've been a terrible husband to Natalie and hurt her over and over again.
00:49:57Why would she want you near her?
00:49:59The least you can do now is listen to her when she asks you to leave her alone.
00:50:04I need to do something.
00:50:08I know, man.
00:50:10But it can't be you.
00:50:11Her best friend is dead.
00:50:13You want to do something?
00:50:14Make sure the person who did this is caught.
00:50:30Going somewhere?
00:50:32Liam.
00:50:33You scared me.
00:50:34How did you get in here?
00:50:35That doesn't matter.
00:50:37What matters is you killed Alicia.
00:50:42I have no idea what you're talking about.
00:50:45You stole my phone and my car and you texted Natalie to find out where she was.
00:50:53Then you went over there and killed Alicia because you thought she was Natalie.
00:50:59Are you saying all these horrible things to me?
00:51:02Isn't it enough that I've already lost my husband?
00:51:06Isn't it enough that I've already lost my husband?
00:51:06This has nothing to do with Tom.
00:51:10You led Tom into the fire where he died.
00:51:12How do you think people will react when they learn you're trying to blame me your own terrible crimes?
00:51:17You don't want to do that.
00:51:18I'll do whatever I have to do to protect myself from your lies.
00:51:21My husband died a hero.
00:51:23People will listen to me when I go public.
00:51:30Tom didn't die a hero, Chloe.
00:51:32He had a drug problem.
00:51:33He was high on drugs the night of the fire.
00:51:35That's why he died.
00:51:42Don't pretend you didn't know.
00:51:44There's no way he could have been so addicted and you didn't notice.
00:51:48I didn't.
00:51:50Do you ever tell the truth?
00:51:52Why are you being so horrible to me?
00:51:57I did my best to help you because of Tom.
00:52:00I broke Natalie's heart a hundred times so I could be there for you.
00:52:04And you repaid me by lying to Natalie that I got you pregnant and killing Alicia.
00:52:08You can't prove any of those things.
00:52:10These are just stories you're making up because your stupid bitch wife is divorcing you and you don't want it
00:52:14to be your fault.
00:52:14You're right.
00:52:15I can't prove it.
00:52:16Yet.
00:52:17But I will.
00:52:18In the meantime, I'll be suing you for defaming Natalie.
00:52:21See you in court.
00:52:25My husband is a hero.
00:52:27No one is going to believe you over me.
00:52:33Almost missed my big moment.
00:52:37Where's Natalie?
00:52:40She's not coming.
00:52:41There are some things you need to know, Dad.
00:53:12No one is going to believe you're going to believe you're going to believe you're going to believe you're going
00:53:13to believe you're going to believe you're going to believe you're going to believe you're going to believe you're going
00:53:13to believe you're going to believe you're going to believe you're going to believe you're going to believe you're going
00:53:13to believe you're going to believe you're going to believe you're going to believe you're going to believe you're going
00:53:13to believe you're going to believe you're going to believe you're going to believe you're going to believe you're going
00:53:13to believe you're going to believe you're going to believe you're going to believe you're going to believe you're going
00:53:13to believe you're going to believe you're going to believe you're going to believe you're going to believe you're going
00:53:13to believe you're going to believe you're going to believe you're going to believe you're going to believe you're going
00:53:13to believe you're going to believe you're going to believe you're going to believe you're going to believe
00:53:15Dad wanted to be here, but 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, I 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, it was Tom's
00:53:28What does it matter now?
00:53:31I'm gonna 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, and 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
00:53:47It'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, I've got her
00:54:09So have I
00:54:10She told you to leave her alone
00:54:13You'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
00:54:51You're getting a divorce
00:54:57I 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
00:55:37But Leah always resented me
00:55:40I knew that
00:55:41Maybe I just wasn't enough of an incentive for him to change
00:55:44I knew that
00:55:47I knew that
00:55:48I knew that
00:55:48I knew that
00:56:09What?
00:56:10I asked Natalie to tell me everything
00:56:14And?
00:56:15...I told her to divorce you you jackass
00:56:20You what?
00:56:21You what?
00:56:24For the past 3 years of marriage
