03:29and I will not let you ruin it.
03:31Get rid of the baby
03:33and disappear from his life.
03:35I swear I will destroy everything you have.
03:39But I love him!
03:43We love each other!
03:45If you really love him,
03:49my son deserves better.
03:51He deserves better.
04:01Alright, this is it.
04:03You put on your finger before.
04:04If he's the baby, he'd stay.
04:05For me, he'd stay.
04:07For me, for us.
04:23Oh!
04:29Hey!
04:31What are you doing in here?
04:33I'm here to-
04:41Wait, what?
04:43For-
04:57What the fuck?
04:58Is this a fucking joke?
04:59I even left you in your back.
05:00Fuck!
05:01I was thinking about it and-
05:02His family money can give me the life I've always dreamed.
05:04And I don't want to worry about losing my partner in a fire someday.
05:05Goodbye, John.
05:06I've been supportive of my dream.
05:07Goodbye, John.
05:08Goodbye, John.
05:09I've been supportive of my dream.
05:10Goodbye, John.
05:11Goodbye, John.
05:12Goodbye, John.
05:13a partner in a fire or something.
05:16Goodbye, John.
05:17Been supportive of my dream.
05:21Goodbye, John.
05:41That was hilarious!
05:42Did you see his face was priceless?
05:44Gary, go home.
05:47We're back together.
05:48What?
05:50Well, first you begged me to come out here,
05:51and now you push me away?
05:53You psycho bitch!
05:59I'm sorry, Jackson.
06:03I'm so sorry.
06:05Captain Jackson, you have proven yourself to be a hero once again.
06:14But Ripa's saying that you stayed inside the blaze 30 minutes longer than protocol allows.
06:18What was your reason for staying inside?
06:21Well, I'm just doing my job.
06:24Captain Jackson, I just wanted to say on behalf of my father's hospital, thank you for saving our lives.
06:33You are truly a hero.
06:35It's no problem.
06:36You must be tired after all that.
06:38You could use a little rest.
06:39Why don't we go back to my VIP lounge and share and have a little fun?
06:45Thanks, but no thanks.
06:46I actually have to check on a patient.
06:47Thank you for your time.
06:48No problem.
06:50I'll come with you.
06:54Time to get back to work, Cindy White.
06:55Box ticking.
06:57Okay, Vanessa.
07:14Jackson?
07:15Excuse me?
07:17That is Captain Jackson Carter to you.
07:21He's L.A.'s hottest, bravest, most badass firefighter.
07:27And he just saved your worthless life.
07:28Vanessa, please.
07:29That's not necessary.
07:32Where's his thank you?
07:35You know, he could have died pulling your ass out of that fire.
07:39And if something had happened to him, I would have made you pay for it.
07:44I wasn't in the fire by choice.
07:47Don't talk back to me, Cindy.
07:50I'm your boss.
07:51My dad owns this hospital.
07:53And by the way.
07:56I am so sick of your temper.
07:59You know what?
08:01You're fired.
08:06You know what?
08:08You're fired.
08:10What?
08:11Come on, Vanessa.
08:12I need this job.
08:14Well, maybe you should do that before you talked back to the boss's daughter.
08:18Come on.
08:20Let's go somewhere.
08:22You know, now that I think about it, there is a new opening for a paramedic in my department.
08:27I would be so honored.
08:29Someone just became available.
08:31Hey, Cindy.
08:33How would you like to join my team?
08:36What?
08:38A paramedic job?
08:39What's the catch, Jackson?
08:40What game is that?
08:47I can't accept.
08:49Sorry.
08:50I would be so...
08:51Follow me!
08:52Follow me!
08:53Follow me!
08:54Hi, Cindy.
08:55Sorry.
08:56Ran past me.
08:57That's okay.
08:59Great.
09:00Just what I need.
09:02More nobodies.
09:03All right.
09:04I'm on my side.
09:05Thank you for saving my mom.
09:06Oh.
09:09Just doing my job.
09:12You have a son?
09:14Yeah.
09:15This is Noah.
09:17Hi.
09:18My name is Noah.
09:19Nice to meet you.
09:21Hey.
09:22Not you.
09:23I'm...
09:24Jackson.
09:26Wait.
09:27You're my dad!
09:29Noah!
09:30Damn, you didn't tell him all that.
09:33That's not funny.
09:35I'm so sorry.
09:37Um...
09:38We have to go get ice cream.
09:39Yeah, ice cream.
09:40Right? Let's go.
09:41I love ice cream!
09:47Noah, why did you call Jackson Dad?
09:48He looks like my dad for my dream.
09:53So after she broke up with me, she had a kid with Gary?
10:16So your love life is a disaster.
10:20Tell me something I don't know.
10:22But...
10:23But, but, but, but...
10:25Your soulmate's here.
10:26And true love follows.
10:28Is there anything in here about money?
10:31Love's not paying the rent, honey.
10:33Jackson's job would.
10:35That's not gonna happen.
10:38Okay, well, argue with the cards, honey.
10:40You're fated to take this gig.
10:42Marry the love of your life, and live happily ever after.
10:45Ever after.
10:47Okay, see, this is why I don't think you're terrible.
10:50My life has never been this neat.
10:52Okay, well, good thing you don't have to believe in it for it to be true.
10:56Jackson loves you, and I don't need the cards to know that.
11:01Okay.
11:02Okay.
11:03We're done.
11:04Conversation.
11:06Run all you want.
11:07Bank comes for us all.
11:09Good night.
11:10Mark my words, honey.
11:11You two are over.
11:13What do you want, Vanessa?
11:15Just making sure you're not stealing anything.
11:17Strip searcher.
11:19What?
11:20Ex...
11:21No, are you kidding?
11:22What is the...
11:23Ex...
11:24Are we in high school?
11:25Wait.
11:26What?
11:27She might be hiding at the house.
11:28I'm sorry.
11:30I don't know.
11:31I don't know.
11:32I don't know.
11:33I don't know.
11:34I don't know.
11:35I don't know.
11:36I don't know.
11:37I don't know.
11:38I don't know.
11:39I don't know.
11:40I don't know.
11:41I don't know.
11:42Vanessa! What is this?
11:47Let's go.
11:48No! No! Wait! No!
11:50Enjoy the chill time, bitch.
11:53Come on!
11:55Fuck! Vanessa!
12:02Thanks for implementing the new safety measures, Captain Carter.
12:05For the last time, call me Jackson. Just doing my job.
12:09You're Jackson.
12:13Help! Somebody help, please!
12:18Sandin?
12:19Hello?
12:21Sandin!
12:22Jackson!
12:23Hey!
12:24Can you help me?
12:27Alright, stand back.
12:35Wait, turn around!
12:36Okay.
12:39Jackson.
12:40I'm not looking.
12:41Wait, the door!
12:42I'm not looking. Oh, shit!
12:44Fuck.
12:49Wait, the door!
12:50I'm not looking. Oh, shit!
12:52Fuck.
12:54Great.
12:55Now we're both stuck in here.
12:56Damn. Is he sexier than I remember?
13:09You know it's rude to stare.
13:11Jerk.
13:12So, when did you have a kid?
13:13When did you come back?
13:14Captain Jackson Carter?
13:15Why are you here? What do you want from me?
13:16Well, I always said I'd come back.
13:17Two years ago. You were kids.
13:18Doesn't make it not true.
13:22What about you?
13:23What about you?
13:25No ring? No Gary in sight. I guess that happily ever after didn't work out.
13:28Hey!
13:29You just got fired. Take my job. Okay? It's a good offer.
13:31No!
13:32I don't need your offer. I don't need you to rescue me. Again.
13:33What are you so afraid of? Think about your son.
13:34He's got a point. I do need a job. And money.
13:35Fine. I'll take your offer. And I'll be the best paramedic there is on the table.
13:40I'll be the best paramedic there is on the table.
13:42What about you?
13:43What about you? No ring? No Gary in sight. I guess that happily ever after didn't work out.
13:44Hey!
13:45You just got fired. Take my job. Okay? It's a good offer.
13:46No! I don't need your offer. I don't need you to rescue me. Again.
13:50What are you so afraid of? Think about your son.
13:54He's got a point. I do need a job. And money.
14:00Fine. I'll take your offer. And I'll be the best paramedic there is on the table.
14:04It'll be your ass getting saved by money.
14:08I saw her sneak into storage. She's up to something.
14:15I saw her sneak into the store. She's up to something.
14:19Probably stealing meds or case violence or worse.
14:23I'm starting to think she's the one who started to fire.
14:26You're finished, thief.
14:30What? What is it?
14:32Jackson.
14:38But I only locked her in here.
14:40Oh! Thanks for the confession.
14:42You bitch!
14:43Enough! Stop embarrassing yourself, Vanessa!
14:46I am so sorry for my daughter's behavior.
14:50Miss White, Mr. Carter.
14:51You're apologizing to her!
14:53Shut up!
14:54Mrs. Paul.
14:55Well, you are saving me again.
15:08Well, I wouldn't call getting us both trapped and then a bunch of a rescue.
15:12But I'll take it.
15:14Excited to see you at work?
15:16What?
15:17Hello?
15:18Hello, Miss White. It's Principal Coleman.
15:20Your son got into a fight. You need to come. Now.
15:21What?
15:22Noah!
15:23Noah!
15:24Are you hurt? Let me see.
15:25Is he hurt? He's the one who attacked my son!
15:28Oh, I'm sorry. If you're sending the doctor, I can cover it.
15:29I don't need your money. I have money. What I want is this animal, or what you call a son, expelled.
15:41What? You're not going to do?
15:42What? You're not going to do?
15:43Well, per school policy, serious violence does warrant expulsion.
15:44But he stopped. He called me a bastard. He called my mom a son.
15:47A son.
15:48Oh, I'm sorry. If you're sending the doctor, I can cover it.
15:50I don't need your money. I can cover it.
15:51I don't need your money. I have money.
15:53What I want is this animal, or what you call a son, expelled.
15:58What?
16:00You're not going to do?
16:01Well, per school policy, serious violence does warrant expulsion.
16:05But he stopped!
16:06He called me a bastard.
16:08He called my mom a slut.
16:13My mom says to kids like you don't know your dads because your moms are total sluts.
16:19Shut up!
16:20Hey!
16:21Don't!
16:22You're legal, you've got it!
16:26Shut up!
16:27Hey!
16:28Don't!
16:29You're legal, you've got it!
16:34Austin!
16:35You okay, kiddo?
16:36Get for me!
16:37How dare you!
16:38Mr. Carter!
16:39Hero of the city!
16:40You know the White family?
16:44I do.
16:45President Collins, I didn't know you allowed such bad decorum.
16:51Excuse me, you little son of a...
16:53Enough!
16:55Mr. Carter, I apologize for this incident.
16:58And you, you, you apologize to Noah!
17:03No way!
17:04This bastard attacked my son!
17:06This man has saved our school and countless others!
17:09And it's a price we could never hope to repay!
17:13Actually, there is a way to pay it back.
17:15Really?
17:17Well, just tell me how.
17:19Expel that boy.
17:21Expel that boy.
17:28Expel that boy.
17:31Wait, wait, wait, wait!
17:32No.
17:33We don't want to expel him.
17:34We don't?
17:35We don't?
17:36We don't!
17:37No, we don't.
17:38No.
17:39Both boys were in the wrong.
17:40Noah, why is it?
17:41You said extremely rude things to Noah and I and you need to apologize.
17:47And Noah, you can't hit someone no matter what they say.
17:50Okay?
17:51You need to say sorry.
17:52My son will not be apologizing, Bart.
17:55I just say your son from expulsion.
18:00Son?
18:02Say you're sorry.
18:03What?
18:05I'm sorry.
18:07What was that?
18:09I'm sorry.
18:10Good.
18:12Noah?
18:13I'm sorry, I guess.
18:16I think you owe Miss White an apology, too.
18:21I am sorry, Miss White.
18:32Say, your mom's a smart cookie.
18:35I shouldn't have tried to expel that boy the same way you shouldn't have tried to fight him.
18:39Next time, just come to us or the principal, okay?
18:42Okay.
18:43Okay.
18:45Nice.
18:46Why does Captain Carter know the whites?
18:50Is...
18:52Is he Noah's dad?
18:58How does Captain Carter know the white family?
19:00Was...
19:01Does he know his dad?
19:03No, okay.
19:04Uh, Principal Collins, this isn't what it looks like.
19:08Oh, no, no.
19:09Do not worry, Miss White.
19:10Mom's the worst.
19:12You won't get a peep out of me.
19:14But there's nothing to...
19:15Oh, no.
19:16Do not fret.
19:17We're gonna take very special care of Noah.
19:19Both for you and for...
19:24Just for you.
19:28So, what were you and Principal Collins whispering about?
19:31No.
19:32Nothing.
19:33Yeah?
19:34It seemed like something.
19:36No, no, thank you.
19:38For you to know about.
19:40Ah, excellent qualifier.
19:43Hey, you wanna race?
19:44Yes.
19:45Yeah?
19:46All right, go.
19:47Come on.
19:48Come on, I'm beating you.
19:49Come on, hurry up!
19:52Maybe I should tell him he's so bothered.
19:54He's so good with him.
19:56Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go!
20:02Hi.
20:03Hey.
20:04Can we take a selfie?
20:05I love your fire safety TikTok videos.
20:06And I adore your calendars.
20:09No, those are bad.
20:11Yeah, that's good.
20:12That's good.
20:14Nice.
20:15Jackson, could I have your phone number?
20:17If I'm ever feeling lightheaded in the bath,
20:20could I call you for a personal rescue?
20:23Wow, she's bad.
20:24Hey!
20:25Before you play with your little fan club,
20:27can you make sure my kid's okay?
20:30He was just right here.
20:31Yeah, and he almost just ran in the middle of the street.
20:35Nope.
20:36I can't tell him he's a phone number.
20:37I can't flip Noah's world upside down like that.
20:45Hey, you never answered my question.
20:47Oh, in case of emergency, just call 911.
20:50Okay.
20:51Cindy, hold on.
20:52Wait up.
20:53Sorry about that.
20:54That, uh, never happens.
20:55What now?
20:56Superstar hero?
20:58Well, you know, with your new job, it actually comes with a company house.
21:04I don't care.
21:05No thanks.
21:06It's free.
21:10Well, then I guess we can move in.
21:14Great.
21:15Awesome.
21:16Okay.
21:17What's, uh, where are you at now?
21:18I can help you move.
21:19That's not necessary.
21:2047 Pie Lane apartment floor B.
21:22Boom!
21:23See?
21:24That's why you're the man of the house.
21:26You little conspirators.
21:27Whoa.
21:28My new room is so huge.
21:29Can I go unpack my toys and go play?
21:30Absolutely.
21:31You got it?
21:32My new room is so huge! Can I go unpack my toys and go play?
21:48Absolutely. You got it? Well, now that we're all alone...
22:02It's time to get sweaty.
22:08Excuse me?
22:10Unpacking, Cindy. Mind out of the gutter.
22:14That was definitely on purpose.
22:18Oh, hey.
22:22Let me...
22:28I got it!
22:30Stop! Stop! Stop!
22:32What?
22:42Come here.
22:44Is she finally giving me a shot?
22:58Ow!
23:02What for?
23:04I was trying to kiss you!
23:06What? Why?
23:08You said come here!
23:10There's something on your face.
23:12Sorry, I'm not swooning over you like all the other moms.
23:18Okay.
23:20Well, I guess I'll get going.
23:22Be sure to say hi to your neighbor.
23:24I heard he's a great, handsome, charming, athletic, fun, smart, intelligent guy.
23:32Wait, you're my neighbor?
23:46I guess, uh...
23:48Huh.
23:50How convenient.
23:52Why the long face, Jackson?
24:08The one that got away is now in reaching distance.
24:12Yeah, except she's got a kid.
24:14Like Gary.
24:16Did the trust fund catch you left before?
24:18Yeah.
24:20Except she's broke.
24:22Yeah, right.
24:23He's loaded.
24:24I don't know.
24:25It doesn't make any sense.
24:26Whatever.
24:27I don't even care.
24:28You know what?
24:29I'm over her, actually.
24:30I'm Jackson Carter.
24:32All right?
24:33Town hero.
24:34I can get whoever I want.
24:35Yeah.
24:36Right.
24:37Keep telling yourself that.
24:41Hello, boys.
24:42Party has arrived.
24:44Vanessa, what are you doing here?
24:46You're acting all mopey, so I thought some company would do you some good.
24:50Oh, okay.
24:51I'll come in.
24:52Hello, hello.
24:57Well, because I'm having much more fun than she is anyway.
25:00Mm-hmm.
25:01Let's get this party started.
25:10Cindy!
25:11Cindy!
25:12Okay.
25:13Okay.
25:14Okay.
25:15Cindy!
25:16Hi!
25:17Would you like to come in?
25:19Um, I just wanted to say thank you.
25:22And now you have.
25:23Bye!
25:26Would you like to come in?
25:27That's really sweet of you.
25:28We'd love to have you.
25:30We'd like to play a game.
25:32It'll be fun.
25:34See?
25:35It's simple.
25:36Even Cindy Spratt could do it.
25:37Get up.
25:38Let's play.
25:39Hey, do you actually mind switching with Cindy?
25:40Hey, do you mind switching with Cindy?
25:41Hey.
25:42Hey.
25:43Hey.
25:44Hey.
25:45Hey.
25:46Hey.
25:47Hey.
25:48Hey.
25:49Hey.
25:50Hey.
25:51Hey.
25:52You actually mind switching with Cindy?
25:54Hey.
25:55Hey.
25:56Hey.
25:57Hey.
25:59Hey.
26:04Hey.
26:06Hey.
26:07Hey.
26:12Hey.
26:13Hi.
26:14I guess I've had a little too much- Vanessa, what you- Don't yell at me, Jackson.
26:18I was having a little fun.
26:20Is that too much for Cindy?
26:22I'm so sorry. Here.
26:26This is it. Nice.
26:31What are you two looking at?
26:37Hey.
26:38Don't worry. I'm leaving.
26:40I just don't want Noah to see me like this.
26:42No, I'm sorry. I don't know what that was. Are you okay?
26:47What do you think?
26:51Sorry. For that.
26:54And for crashing your little party.
26:56Looked like you and your fangirls were having fun without me.
27:00Wait, hold on. Do I sense a hint of jealousy?
27:04Do you like me?
27:05Don't flatter yourself. I'd never like an arrogant ass like you.
27:13Oh. So you'd like a rich prick like Gary.
27:16Gary, go home. We're not getting back together.
27:20You psycho bitch.
27:23What are you talking about?
27:24Oh, stop, Cindy. Don't play dumb.
27:28Alright, you dumbed me for him eight years.
27:29He's Noah's dad, right?
27:35You have no idea what you're talking about.
27:40Okay, then tell me.
27:41You could just tell me then.
27:42Get rid of the baby and disappear from his life.
27:48I swear I will destroy everything you have.
27:52It's better he thinks Noah is Gary's kid than the truth.
27:56It was over a decade ago.
27:58Just let it tax him.
27:59Jackson.
28:06Maybe you want to forget about it because you don't want to come to terms that you traded love, real love, for money.
28:14You know, we could have had something together. We could have a future together.
28:18Jackson, please.
28:22You know what? Fine. Here.
28:25I don't want you to catch a cold.
28:29What is that?
28:37Yeah, the ring.
28:40I've had it since the beginning.
28:44Maybe this is stupid, but...
28:46It's like my good luck charm.
28:49Every time I have it with me, I feel like I can always make it through.
28:54Jackson, stop.
28:57Okay?
28:58Thank you for saving me.
29:01For the job, for the house, the rescue, but...
29:05Let's just leave this, us, in the past.
29:08We'll call Excel.
29:10It's best that we keep it professional.
29:17That's what you want.
29:18That's what you want.
29:19Thanks.
29:21Thanks.
29:39Wow.
29:40Look.
29:41It's a new paramedic.
29:44Can I help you guys?
29:45Yeah.
29:46I actually hurt myself on the last job.
29:48I was wondering if you could take a look at it.
29:50Oh.
29:52You pulled your groin?
29:54Every night before bed.
29:56We were acting that you might help us out with that.
29:58Yeah.
29:59Or is that just exclusively for Captain Carter?
30:02Do you guys have any real injury?
30:05Yeah, yeah, yeah.
30:06Sorry.
30:08You broke my heart?
30:10Wait, wait.
30:11You broke my heart, too.
30:13All right.
30:14Leave my station before I give you something to cry about.
30:16Ooh.
30:19Look.
30:20I don't think you know who you're dealing with, little girl.
30:23What'd I do?
30:29What'd I do?
30:34Hey, Jackson!
30:35We were just looking for you right now.
30:36We couldn't find you, so we came over here.
30:40Yo, we were just joking.
30:41We were just hazing the new guy, okay?
30:46It was all in good fun.
30:48What do you think, Cindy?
30:49Was it all in good fun?
30:52Huh?
30:53You heard her.
30:54Hey, hey, hey, hey.
30:55Please, please, please, please.
30:56Flip, flip.
30:57We're sorry, boss.
30:58We're sorry, Cindy.
31:02Let go.
31:06Hey, you okay?
31:07I'm sorry about that.
31:09Yeah, I'm fine.
31:10Thanks to you.
31:12Just doing my job?
31:14Well, you're a man making it impossible for me to do mine, so...
31:17I'm gonna quit.
31:19What?
31:23What? No, no, no, you can't quit.
31:25You just started.
31:26If I wanted to be mocked every day, then I would just beg Vanessa for my job back.
31:31This will never happen again.
31:32It's a one-time occurrence, I promise.
31:34If it ever happens again...
31:40That was a pretty gnarly punch.
31:43Let me see.
31:45It's a pretty gnarly...
31:48There's nothing.
31:50Yeah, whatever.
31:54Look at you saving me for once.
31:57Just doing my job.
31:59No.
32:02You know, you're different, huh?
32:04When we were younger, you're...
32:06Stronger and tougher.
32:10Well...
32:12Being a single mother will do that to anyone.
32:14You should try it.
32:16What?
32:17What?
32:18You've been alone this whole time?
32:24Just make sure that your hand stays dry.
32:26For about three hours.
32:27I gotta go get organized.
32:30I guess I'm staying.
32:32I gotta go get organized.
32:38So Gary just...
32:40Abandoned her?
32:41I need to know more.
32:43If Cindy won't tell me...
32:45I'll go to Gary.
32:52I can't believe anybody used to know it's become the hometown hero.
32:56Man, it's been too long.
32:57How you been?
32:58What bring that home?
33:00You have no idea what you're talking about.
33:05Just got some questions.
33:07About Cindy.
33:09Oh, that brought...
33:11Oh, she's got issues, man.
33:13She begged me to come back to her.
33:15And then, after she dumped you,
33:18she told me that she didn't even want to be with me.
33:22What about Noah?
33:24Who the fuck is Noah?
33:26Come on, man. It's been years.
33:27Let's talk about some of that matters.
33:29Forget that psycho bitch.
33:30Like, I got something real for you.
33:32Oh, fuck!
33:33It's Salter again!
33:38Yo, you're loco, man.
33:40You two deserve each other.
33:42If Gary's not the father, then who is?
33:46What the hell's going on, Cindy?
33:48Mom, this is disgusting.
33:49Noah!
33:50Hey, Cindy.
33:51I need to...
33:52Save us!
33:53What's up, little man?
33:54Mom can't cook to save her life.
33:56Oh!
33:57Excuse me!
33:58Yeah, he's not lying.
34:00Fine.
34:01Last time I'd do anything nice for you?
34:03Okay, tell me.
34:04How do you like your burger cooked?
34:05Medium rare.
34:06No way.
34:07Me too.
34:08You know what that makes us?
34:09What?
34:10Taste buds.
34:12Oh, my gosh.
34:13Are you guys sure with all those similarities you two are not related?
34:16You all right?
34:17You all right?
34:18Mm-hmm.
34:19Yeah.
34:20Wrong pipe.
34:21Listen, can you, um, watch Noah for a second while we, we, you know?
34:23Yeah.
34:24Yeah.
34:25Yeah.
34:26Yeah.
34:27Yeah.
34:28Yeah.
34:29Yeah.
34:30Yeah.
34:31Yeah.
34:32Yeah.
34:33Yeah.
34:34Yeah.
34:35Yeah.
34:36Yeah.
34:37Yeah.
34:38Yeah.
34:39Yeah.
34:40Yeah.
34:41Yeah.
34:42Yeah.
34:43Yeah.
34:44Yeah.
34:45Yeah.
34:46Yeah.
34:47Yeah.
34:48Yeah.
34:49Yeah.
34:50Yeah.
34:51Yeah.
34:52Yeah.
34:53Yeah.
34:54Yeah.
34:55Yeah.
34:56Yeah.
34:57Yeah.
34:58I, uh, actually, hey, I'm gonna go talk to your mom real quick, but you stay here.
35:02Okay?
35:03Okay.
35:04Okay, hold down the floor for me.
35:05I'll be right back.
35:15Yeah.
35:16I'll be right back.
35:18I'll be right back.
35:19What are you doing?
35:20It's already as difficult as it is.
35:23Jackson isn't stupid.
35:24He's going to find out eventually that he's not the father,
35:26and then what are you going to do about it?
35:28Hey, what are you guys talking about?
35:30What did you hear?
35:32Nothing.
35:34You mind if I have to send you for a second, Owen?
35:38Yeah, I have to use the bathroom anyway.
35:43You and Noah are getting along great.
35:45Oh, yeah, he's a great kid.
35:47Hey, you know, I'd love to help out more,
35:50if you'd let me.
35:51Take him to school, pick him up from soccer practice,
35:53whatever you need.
35:58Ice cream!
36:00You want to babysit?
36:03You're a fire captain, right?
36:05That's okay, great.
36:05No, no, no.
36:06I just want to be part of your guys' lives.
36:13You know, and...
36:15Noah?
36:15Where's Noah?
36:17Shit.
36:28He lost a lot of blood.
36:30Is anyone a negative for a transfusion?
36:32I am, but I can't.
36:33I'm his mother.
36:35Anyone else?
36:35Well, I'm a universal donor.
36:37Perfect.
36:37Come with me.
36:38No, no, no, no.
36:38There has to be someone else.
36:39Cindy, stop.
36:40There's no time.
36:41No, it can't be you.
36:42Why?
36:43Why won't you let me help him?
36:44No!
36:45Okay, I don't need your help.
36:47Leave.
36:52I'm sorry.
36:53I know you're scared, but the longer you keep this a secret, the more pain it's going
37:03to cause for the both of you.
37:05I just don't know what to do, right?
37:08Goodness!
37:09We've located down our plasma.
37:11I just need your signature, okay?
37:12Right here.
37:19You know, it's just...
37:20Every time I feel like we're finally getting closer, she shuts me out.
37:24I don't get it.
37:25I mean, she's been alone for so long, and you guys didn't really end up well last time.
37:29What if she's just scared?
37:31What, and I'm not?
37:33Well, she's the one that dumped me.
37:34Yeah, I know.
37:35I know.
37:35How about she wouldn't even let me donate blood to Nell?
37:38Luckily, we found a plasma donor, but what if we didn't?
37:41Why won't she let me help?
37:43Wait.
37:44They didn't let you donate?
37:46No!
37:46That's crazy, right?
37:48Wait, didn't you say Gary wasn't the father?
37:51Yeah.
37:52And?
37:52Direct relatives can't give blood to other direct relatives, so...
37:58Yo, what if you're Noah's dad?
38:06You're my dad!
38:08Piss buds.
38:09Who the fuck is...
38:22Amanda's right.
38:25I can't keep hiding this.
38:26Jackson deserves to know.
38:28I know it does, too.
38:33How's he doing?
38:34Good.
38:37Hey.
38:38I need to talk.
38:41I talked to Gary.
38:43What?
38:44You had no right to do that.
38:46You wouldn't tell me anything.
38:47I needed answers.
38:50Cindy.
38:52Is Noah my son?
39:00I...
39:00I mean...
39:00That's the only thing I can think of, why you wouldn't let me donate blood.
39:05I mean...
39:05When I first met him, we had an instant connection.
39:09And every time I've seen him since...
39:10I've realized that...
39:12He eats like me.
39:14He talks like me.
39:14How he even looks like me.
39:17Why won't you tell me?
39:19Is Noah my son?
39:22Cindy.
39:23Just tell me.
39:23Is Noah my son?
39:24Yes!
39:28Noah is your son.
39:29Why wouldn't you just say that?
39:41How could you hide this from me for eight years?
39:44What could I have possibly done to you that was so bad?
39:47Did you know?
39:49When you broke up with me?
39:51Get rid of the baby.
39:53And disappear from this life.
39:55I swear I will destroy everything you have.
40:00Love him!
40:02We love each other!
40:06If you really love him...
40:08Then walk away.
40:11My son deserves better.
40:17Exit, I was so young.
40:19And I was scared.
40:21And you had all these big dreams that you had to go do.
40:25What?
40:25The stupid firefighter program?
40:27You thought I cared more about that than him?
40:29Than you?
40:30No!
40:31No!
40:32I knew that you didn't.
40:35That's why I left.
40:36Because I knew that you wouldn't.
40:39But, Jason...
40:40You didn't fight me on it.
40:43You never...
40:44You never asked me to stay.
40:47Because you said you love me anymore!
40:48What?
40:49I never stopped loving you!
40:53Jackson, for every second, every day, for the last eight years, I've been waiting for you.
41:00Hoping that you'd call, or you'd text...
41:05Something.
41:06Anything.
41:06I dreamt about telling you about Noah.
41:13I wasn't strong enough.
41:16I just...
41:17I wish I had been brave, and I didn't let your mother control...
41:21It looks like the cat's finally out the bag.
41:41Um, it's just...
41:43You were just, uh...
41:44I thought I said no more lies.
41:48There's no more.
41:49Hey, you know what?
41:56Noah's birthday's tomorrow.
41:58You know what he's always wanted?
42:02Go ahead.
42:06Dad.
42:08Bingo.
42:11I know just the right thing.
42:19So, what kind of cake would the birthday wear like?
42:28Honestly, I have no idea.
42:31New to this whole dad thing, huh?
42:33Yeah.
42:33I just found out 20 minutes ago.
42:35He doesn't even know.
42:36Oh, wow.
42:37Okay.
42:38Well, let's just start with his name then.
42:40Noah.
42:41I do know that.
42:42Gotcha.
42:44Thanks.
42:49Noah is Jackson's son?
42:54I am going to mess you up, Cindy White.
42:59Wait, sir!
43:00I need an address.
43:04I'll tell you.
43:07Don't worry.
43:07I'm a friend of the family.
43:16Cake for Jackson?
43:18Thank you, sir.
43:19No problem.
43:20Are you nervous?
43:26Is it that obvious?
43:28Don't be.
43:29You'll be great.
43:30Don't worry.
43:31Once you're out of here, I'm going to throw you the biggest party ever.
43:33Who says we have to wait?
43:37Surprise!
43:38Happy birthday!
43:39You remembered!
43:40How could I forget the coolest kid in town's birthday?
43:44There you go.
43:45Can I open it, Mom?
43:47Yes.
43:50I don't know what happened there.
44:07I'm so sorry.
44:08It must have been some kind of mistake.
44:09Don't worry about that.
44:11Why does everyone call me a bastard?
44:13Well, I don't have a dad.
44:18Noah, you do have a dad.
44:20I do?
44:27I'm your father.
44:31Is that true?
44:34To the best that I could have possibly imagined!
44:37But where have you been all my life?
44:41Did you not want to be my dad?
44:45Of course I wanted to be your dad.
44:48I was...
44:49I was just scared.
44:51Why?
44:52You know, every day I put my life out on the line fighting fires.
44:59I was just afraid that maybe one day I wouldn't be able to come home.
45:03But, you know, thanks to your mom,
45:07I'm finally brave enough to be here for you.
45:11Can you ever forgive me?
45:12Of course.
45:13Of course.
45:13Dad.
45:23Yeah?
45:23Are you excited?
45:24Yeah.
45:25Noah!
45:25Yes, and I have a dad!
45:30Whoa, is that him?
45:33That's me.
45:33You're the firefighter from the noose!
45:37Hey, nice to meet you.
45:38I'm Noah's dad.
45:40Can we take a selfie?
45:42Um, yes.
45:44We can.
45:45Here we go.
45:49Beautiful.
45:49Thank you!
45:50Mm-hmm.
45:51Your dad is so cool.
45:52I know!
45:53We need some firefighting stories, he told me!
45:56He's totally showing.
45:57Yeah?
46:02What a great kid.
46:05Oh, who's it?
46:07Harry, at the station.
46:08Let me take this.
46:10Hey!
46:12It's ready?
46:14Okay, great.
46:15I'll be there as soon as I can.
46:16I thought we were done with the lawyers.
46:18I thought we were done with the lawyers.
46:25Jackson has a...
46:27Out of all people, it's Cindy.
46:29I know.
46:30But, I talked to Ronald and wrote Bastard on his birthday cake.
46:35Genius.
46:37Show me that.
46:39That's a personal order?
46:41Did I ask?
46:42It's stunning.
46:43Oh, it's engraved.
46:44It's for...
46:48Cindy White?
46:49Whose order is this?
46:50Jackson Carter.
46:51The Jackson Carter.
46:52The Fire Captain.

52:46What are you doing here?
52:48How do you know about Cindy's son?
52:51Because I paid her to leave you so she wouldn't trap you with a baby.
52:58I told her I'd ruin her life if she didn't leave you.
53:02What?

53:27I'm a mother now.
53:28And even though I would never make the choices that you did...
53:35I can understand them.
53:40And I forgive you.
53:43You're a strong woman, Cindy.
53:45And an excellent mother.
53:51I'll give you two some sweets.
53:52Jackson, I'm so sorry for everything.
53:53When Cindy broke up with you, I saw how heartbroken you were, and I immediately knew I'd made a terrible mistake.
54:08But I knew you'd never stop fighting for her.
54:12I truly want nothing but the best for both of you.
