00:50Only one nurse remaining!
00:52Sydney White!
01:00We�!
01:12Jackson?
01:14Am I dreaming?
01:16It's been nearly a decade.
01:18No!
01:31Come on!
01:32Come on, Jackson!
01:33Let's go!
01:34Let's go!
01:35What?
01:37You got me!
01:39Woo!
01:40Come on, let's go!
01:45Yes!
01:4622-13!
01:47New record!
02:01You did amazing!
02:03Thank you!
02:04You're for sure going to ace that firefighter aptitude test.
02:07Why are you leaving me for New York?
02:10Why is summer already over?
02:12Well, I'm not leaving you, Cindy.
02:15Look, I know it's only been one summer,
02:18but I'm for sure that you're the love of my life.
02:23I'm glad I stole you away from that loser, Gary.
02:29Yeah, now I only have eyes for you.
02:32Seriously.
02:33Wait for me.
02:34I'll come back for you.
02:39I love you, Cindy White.
02:42I love you, T.I. Jackson.
02:50Oh.
02:51One more thing?
02:56You ass!
02:59I can't be pregnant.
03:04I have to tell Jackson.
03:06Lorraine.
03:08You shamelessly tramp.
03:09Are you trying to trap my son with a baby?
03:24No!
03:25No, that's not what that is!
03:26Jackson has a bright future ahead of him,
03:28and I will not let you ruin it.
03:30We'll get rid of the baby,
03:32and disappear from this lifer.
03:34I swear I will destroy everything you have.
03:39But I love him!
03:42We love each other!
03:44If you really love him, then walk away.
03:49My son deserves better.
03:51My son deserves better.
04:00All right.
04:01This is it.
04:02I'm gonna put a ring on your finger before I leave.
04:04If he knew about the baby, he'd stay.
04:07For me.
04:08For us.
04:09For us.
04:22Whoa!
04:28Uh, hey!
04:29What are you doing in here?
04:34I'm here to break up with you.
04:35Wait, what?
04:42Break up?
04:43Why?
04:56What the fuck?
04:57Is this a fucking joke?
04:58Why you even left you in your back with this fucking asshole?
05:00Hey, watch your mouth!
05:01Yes.
05:02Gary and I are back together.
05:04I was thinking about it, and...
05:07His family money can give me the life I've always dreamed of.
05:10And I don't want to worry about losing my partner in a fire or something.
05:15But you've always been supportive of my dream.
05:20Goodbye, Jackson.
05:34That was hilarious.
05:35Did you see his face was priceless?
05:36Gary.
05:37Go home.
05:38We're not getting back together.
05:39What?
05:40Well, first you begged me to come out here, and now you push me away?
05:41You psycho bitch!
05:42You only made one thing.
05:43I'm sorry.
05:44Jackson.
05:45I'm so sorry.
05:46Captain Jackson.
05:47You have proven yourself to be a hero once again.
05:49But reports are saying that you've stayed inside the blaze 30 minutes longer than protocol allows.
05:50You have proven yourself to be a hero once again.
05:51But reports are saying that you've stayed inside the blaze 30 minutes longer than protocol allows.
05:55What was your reason for staying inside?
05:56Well, I was just doing my job.
05:58Well, I was just doing my job.
05:59And I'm not sure what you need to be.
06:00But you're about to be a hero.
06:01I don't want to have a hero.
06:02I'm sorry.
06:03You have proven yourself to be a hero once again.
06:04I'm so sorry.
06:05Captain Jackson.
06:06You have proven yourself to be a hero once again.
06:09But reports are saying that you've stayed inside the blaze 30 minutes longer than protocol
06:18allows.
06:20What was your reason for staying inside?
06:21Well, I'm just doing my job.
06:25Captain Jackson, I just wanted to say on behalf of my father's hospital, thank you for saving our lives.
06:34You are truly a hero.
06:36It's no problem.
06:37You must be tired after all that. You could use a little rest.
06:41Why don't we go back to my VIP lounge and have a lot of fun?
06:45Thanks, but no thanks. I actually have to check on a patient. Thank you for your time.
06:50I'll come with you.
06:55Time to get back to work, Cindy White.
06:57Clock's ticking.
06:58Okay, Vanessa.
07:15Jackson?
07:16Excuse me?
07:18That is Captain Jackson Carter to you.
07:22He's LA's hottest, bravest, most badass firefighter.
07:28And he just saved your worthlessness.
07:30Vanessa, please. That's not necessary.
07:33Where's his thank you?
07:35You know, he could have died pulling your ass out of that fire.
07:40And if something had happened to him, I would have made you pay for it. Trust me.
07:45I wasn't in the fire by choice, Vanessa.
07:48Don't talk her back to me, Cindy.
07:51I'm your boss.
07:53My dad owns this hospital.
07:55And by the where?
07:57I am so sick of your temper.
08:01You know what?
08:03You're fired.
08:08You know what?
08:09You're fired.
08:11What?
08:12Come on, Vanessa. I need this job.
08:15Well, maybe you should have thought about that before you talked back to the boss's daughter.
08:21Come on.
08:22Let's go somewhere.
08:23You know, now that I think about it, there is a new opening for a paramedic in my department.
08:29I would be so honored.
08:31When someone just became available.
08:34Hey, Cindy.
08:36How would you like to join my team?
08:38What?
08:40A paramedic job?
08:41What's the catch, Jackson?
08:43What game is this?
08:48Thank you so much, but I can't accept.
08:52Sorry.
08:54I would be so...
08:55Mommy!
08:56Mommy!
08:57I'm sorry.
08:58You just ran past me.
08:59That's okay.
09:02Great.
09:04Just what I need.
09:05More nobodies.
09:06All right.
09:07I'm one more friend.
09:08Thank you for saving my mom.
09:09Oh.
09:13Just doing my job.
09:16You have a son.
09:18Yeah.
09:19This is Noah.
09:20Hi.
09:21My name is Noah.
09:22Nice to meet you.
09:24Hey.
09:25Nice to meet you.
09:26I'm Jackson.
09:30Wait.
09:31You're my dad!
09:33Noah!
09:34You didn't tell him?
09:37That's not funny.
09:39I'm so sorry.
09:41Um...
09:42We have to go get ice cream!
09:43Yeah!
09:44Right? Let's go!
09:45I love ice cream!
09:46I love ice cream!
09:51Noah, why did you call Jackson Dad?
09:52He looks like my dad for my dream.
10:01So after she broke up with me, she had a kid with Gary?
10:04Gary?
10:20So your love life is a disaster.
10:22Tell me something I don't know.
10:26But!
10:27But, but, but, but, but!
10:29Your soulmate's here.
10:30And true love follows!
10:32Is there anything in here but money?
10:35Love's not paying the rent, honey.
10:37Jackson's job would.
10:39That's not gonna happen.
10:40That's not gonna happen.
10:42Okay, well argue with the cards, honey.
10:44You're fated to take this gig.
10:46Marry the love of your life and live happily ever after.
10:51Okay, see, this is why I don't think I'm terrible.
10:54My life has never been this neat.
10:56Okay, well good thing you don't have to believe in it for it to be true.
10:59Jackson loves you and I don't need the cards to know that.
11:05Okay.
11:07We're done.
11:08Conversation.
11:10Run all you want.
11:11Fake comes for us all.
11:13Goodnight.
11:15Mark my words, honey.
11:16You two are not over.
11:29Ahem.
11:32What do you want, Vanessa?
11:33Just making sure you're not stealing anything.
11:36Strip searcher.
11:39What?
11:40No, are you kidding?
11:41What is this?
11:43Are we in high school?
11:45Wait, why?
11:47Strip her top.
11:48She might be hiding medicine under it.
11:49Vanessa!
11:50What is this?
11:53Let's go.
11:55No, no, wait!
11:57Enjoy the chill time, bitch.
12:00Come on!
12:02Fuck!
12:03Vanessa!
12:09Thanks for implementing the new safety measures, Captain Carter.
12:12For the last time.
12:13Call me Jackson.
12:14I'm just doing my job.
12:16You're too modest, Jackson.
12:20Help!
12:21Somebody help, please!
12:24Cindy!
12:26Hello?
12:28Cindy!
12:29Jackson!
12:30Hey!
12:31Hey!
12:32Can you help me?
12:34Alright, stand back.
12:35Okay.
12:42What?
12:43Turn around!
12:44Okay.
12:46Jackson.
12:47I'm not looking.
12:48Wait, the door!
12:49You're not looking?
12:50Oh, shit!
12:51Fuck.
12:52Great.
12:53Now we're both stuck in here.
12:54Damn.
12:55Is he sexier than I remember?
12:56You know it's rude to stare.
12:57Jerk.
12:58So, when did you have a kid?
12:59When did you come back?
13:00Captain.
13:01Captain.
13:02Captain.
13:03Captain.
13:04Captain.
13:05Captain.
13:06Captain.
13:07Captain.
13:08Captain.
13:09Captain cä½
13:10Damn, is he sexier than I remember?
13:15You know it's rude to stare.
13:17Jerk.
13:20So, when did you have a kid?
13:23When did you come back, Captain Jackson Carter?
13:27Why are you here?
13:29What do you want from me?
13:30Well, I always said I'd come back.
13:33That was years ago.
13:35You were kids.
13:36Doesn't make it not true.
13:40What about you?
13:42No ring, no Gary inside.
13:45I guess that happily ever after didn't work out.
13:47Hey.
13:48You just got fired.
13:49Just take my job.
13:50Okay, it's a good offer.
13:51No, I don't need your offer.
13:54I don't need you to rescue me.
13:56Again.
13:56What are you so afraid of?
13:59Think about your son.
14:01He's got a point.
14:02I do need a job.
14:03And money.
14:07Fine.
14:08I'll take your offer.
14:10And I'll be the best paramedic there is on the team.
14:13It'll be your ass getting saved by mine.
14:15I saw her sneak into storage.
14:18She's up to something.
14:23I saw her sneak into the storage room.
14:25She's up to something.
14:26Probably stealing meds or case violence or worse.
14:30I'm starting to think she's the one who started to fire.
14:33You're finished, thief.
14:35What?
14:39What is it?
14:42Jackson.
14:45But I only locked her in here.
14:47Oh.
14:48Thanks for the confession.
14:50You bitch.
14:51Enough.
14:52Stop embarrassing yourself, Vanessa.
14:53I am so sorry for my daughter's behavior.
14:57This white, Mr. Carter.
14:59You're apologizing to her?
15:00Shut up!
15:01It's a problem.
15:09Well.
15:13For saving me.
15:14Again.
15:15Well, I wouldn't call getting us both trapped in that room once you've got rescued.
15:20But I'll tell you good.
15:22Excited to see you at work?
15:24Whatever.
15:25I see you as a rolling field.
15:28It happens that you feel alone.
15:31Hello?
15:32Hello, Miss White.
15:33It's Principal Coleman.
15:35Your son got into a fight.
15:36You need to come.
15:37Now.
15:38What?
15:43Noah!
15:44Are you hurt?
15:44Let me see.
15:45Is he hurt?
15:47He's the one who attacked the mighty son.
15:49Oh.
15:50I'm sorry.
15:51If you're sending the doctor, I can cover it.
15:54I don't need your money.
15:56I have money.
15:58What I want is this animal, what you call a son, expelled.
16:05What?
16:07You're not going to do that, right?
16:10Well, per school policy, serious violence does warrant expulsion.
16:14But he started it.
16:15He called me a bastard.
16:17He said, he called my mom a slut.
16:23My mom says to kids like you don't know your bats because your moms are totally sluts.
16:29Shut up!
16:30Hey!
16:30Don't!
16:31You're legal, you're never it!
16:36Shut up!
16:37Hey!
16:37Don't!
16:38You're legal, you're never it!
16:45Jackson!
16:46You okay, kidda?
16:47Let go of me!
16:48How dare you!
16:49Mr. Carter, hero of the city.
16:52You know the White family?
16:55I do.
16:57President Collins, I didn't know you allowed such bad decorum.
17:01Excuse me, you little son of a...
17:05Enough!
17:06Mr. Carter, I apologize for this incident.
17:10And you, you, you apologize to Noah.
17:14No way!
17:15This bastard attacked my son.
17:18This man has saved our school and countless others.
17:21And it's a price we could never hope to repay.
17:24Actually, there is a way to pay it back.
17:27Really?
17:28Well, just tell me how.
17:32Expel that boy.
17:39Expel that boy.
17:41Alright?
17:42Wait, wait, wait, wait.
17:44No, we don't want to expel him.
17:46We don't?
17:47We don't?
17:47We don't.
17:48We don't.
17:49No.
17:50Both boys were in the wrong.
17:52Noah, why is it?
17:54You said extremely rude things to Noah and I, and you need to apologize.
17:58And Noah, you can't hit someone no matter what they say, okay?
18:03You need to say sorry.
18:04My son will not be apologizing, Bart.
18:07I just...
18:08Saved your son from expulsion.
18:12Son?
18:13Say you're sorry.
18:15What?
18:17I'm sorry.
18:19What was that?
18:20I'm sorry.
18:22Good.
18:23Noah?
18:25I'm sorry, I guess.
18:28I think you owe Miss White an apology, too.
18:33I am sorry, Miss White.
18:35Dad.
18:44See?
18:45Your mom's a smart cookie.
18:47I shouldn't have tried to expel that boy the same way you shouldn't have tried to fight him.
18:51Next time, just come to us or the principal, okay?
18:55Okay.
18:55Okay.
18:57Nice.
18:58Why does Captain Carter know the Whites?
19:02Is...
19:03Is he Noah's dad?
19:09How does Captain Carter know the White family?
19:12Was...
19:13Does he Noah's dad?
19:15Look.
19:17Uh, principal con, this isn't what it looks like.
19:20Oh, no, no.
19:20Do not worry, Miss White.
19:22Mom's the worst.
19:23You won't get a peep out of me.
19:25But there's nothing to...
19:27Oh, no, do not fret.
19:29We're going to take very special care of Noah.
19:31Both for you and for...
19:35Just for you.
19:40So, what were you and Principal Collins whispering about?
19:44Nothing.
19:46Well, it seemed like something.
19:50There's nothing for you to know about.
19:53Ah, excellent qualifier.
19:56Hey, you want a race?
19:57Yes.
19:58Yeah?
19:58All right, go.
19:59Come on.
20:00Come on, I'm beating you.
20:01Come on, hurry up.
20:04Maybe I should tell him he's a father.
20:06He's so good with him.
20:08Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go.
20:14Hi.
20:15Hey.
20:16Can we take a selfie?
20:17I love your fire safety TikTok videos.
20:19And I adore your calendars.
20:22No, those are bad.
20:23Yeah, that's good.
20:24That's good.
20:27Nice.
20:27Jackson, can I have your phone number?
20:30If I'm ever feeling lightheaded in the bath, could I call you for a personal rescue?
20:36Ah, she's bad.
20:37Hey.
20:38Before you play with your little fan club, can you make sure my kid's okay?
20:43He's just right here.
20:44Daddy, almost just ran in the middle of the street.
20:47Nope.
20:48I can't tell him he's a father.
20:49I can't flip Noah's world upside down like that.
20:56Hey.
20:58You never answered my question.
21:00Oh, in case of emergency, just call 911.
21:03Okay.
21:03Cindy, hold on.
21:04Wait up.
21:05Sorry about that.
21:06That never happens.
21:08What now?
21:09Superstar hero?
21:10Well, you know, with your new job, it actually comes with a company house.
21:17I don't care.
21:18No, thanks.
21:19It's free.
21:22Well, then I guess we can move in.
21:26Great!
21:28Awesome!
21:28Okay.
21:29What's, uh, where you at now?
21:30I can help you move.
21:31That's not necessary.
21:3247 Pie Lane apartment, 4B.
21:34Boom!
21:35See?
21:37That's why you're the man of the house.
21:39You little conspirator.
21:40It hurts.
21:54Whoa!
21:56My new room is so huge.
21:58Can I go unpack my toys and go play?
22:00Absolutely.
22:00Okay.
22:02You got it?
22:03Well, now that we're all alone...
22:13Yeah.
22:13It's time to get sweaty.
22:22Excuse me.
22:22I'm packing, Cindy.
22:25Mind out of the gutter.
22:28That was definitely on purpose.
22:32Oh, hey.
22:36Let me...
22:36I got it.
22:44Stop!
22:44Stop!
22:44Stop!
22:45Stop!
22:49What?
22:56Come here.
22:57Is she finally giving me a shot?
23:12Ow!
23:15What was that for?
23:17When I was trying to kiss you!
23:19What? Why?
23:21You said come here!
23:23There's something on your face!
23:27Sorry, I'm not swooning over you like all the other moms!
23:32Okay.
23:34Well, I guess I'll get going.
23:37But be sure to say hi to your neighbor.
23:39Marity's a great, handsome, charming, athletic, fun, smart, intelligent guy.
23:57And you're my neighbor?
24:01I guess, uh...
24:03Huh.
24:05How convenient.
24:07Why the long face, Jackson?
24:10The one that got away is now in reaching distance.
24:13Yeah, except she's got a kid.
24:16Like Gary.
24:17The trust fund catch you left before?
24:19Yeah.
24:20Except she's broke.
24:21Yeah, right.
24:22He's loaded.
24:23I know, it doesn't make any sense.
24:24Whatever.
24:25I don't even care.
24:26You know what?
24:27I'm over her, actually.
24:28I'm Jackson Carter.
24:29I'm Jackson Carter.
24:30Alright, town hero.
24:31I can get whoever I want.
24:32Yeah, right.
24:33Keep telling yourself that.
24:34Hello, boys!
24:35The party has arrived.
24:37Vanessa, what are you doing here?
24:38You've backed all mopeys?
24:39I thought some company would make it didn't make any sense.
24:41I don't even care.
24:42I don't think I'm saving money.
24:44I'm Jackson Carter, town hero. I can get whoever I want.
24:51Right, keep telling yourself that.
24:54Hello, boys. Party has arrived.
24:59Vanessa, what are you doing here?
25:02You're acting all mopey, so I thought some company would do you some good.
25:05Okay.
25:06Well, come in.
25:08Hello, hello.
25:11Yes, yes.
25:12Well, because I'm sure that I'm much more fun than whoever she is in there.
25:16Mm-hmm.
25:17Let's get this party started.
25:26Cindy!
25:27Cindy!
25:28Okay.
25:30Okay.
25:31Cindy, hi.
25:33Would you like to come in?
25:36I just wanted to say thank you.
25:39And I have.
25:40Bye.
25:43Would you like to come in?
25:44That's really sweet of you.
25:46We'd love to have you.
25:48We might play a game.
25:50It'll be fun.
26:00See?
26:01It's simple.
26:02Even Cindy Spratt could do it.
26:04Get up.
26:05Let's play.
26:06Hey.
26:07Do you actually mind switching with Cindy?
26:12Oh.
26:13What the fuck?
26:14Oops.
26:15Guess I've had a little too much fun.
26:18Vanessa, what's your problem?
26:19Don't yell at me, Jackson.
26:20I was having a little fun.
26:21Is it too much for Cindy?
26:22I'm so sorry.
26:23Here.
26:24I'm so sorry.
26:25Here.
26:26This is it.
26:27Nice.
26:28What are you two looking at?
26:29Hey.
26:30Don't worry, I'm leaving.
26:31I just don't want Noah to see me like this.
26:32No, I'm sorry.
26:33I don't know.
26:34I'm sorry.
26:35I don't know if I'm like this.
26:36I don't know if you're going to have to go.
26:37I don't think I'll have to go.
26:38No, no, no.
26:39I'm like this.
26:40I have to be a little too much fun.
26:41I know.
26:42I guess I've had a little too much fun.
26:43Vanessa, what's your problem?
26:44Don't yell at me, Jackson.
26:45I'm just having a little fun.
26:46Is that too much for Cindy?
26:47I'm so sorry.
26:48Here.
26:49This is it.
26:50Nice.
26:51What are you two looking at?
26:52Hey.
26:53Don't worry.
26:54I'm leaving.
26:55I just don't want Noah to see me like this.
26:56No, no, I'm sorry.
26:57Don't worry, I'm leaving.
26:59I just don't want Noah to see me like this.
27:01No, no, I'm sorry. I don't know what that was.
27:03Are you okay?
27:05What do you think?
27:09Sorry.
27:11For that.
27:13And for crashing your little party.
27:15Looked like you and your fangirls were having fun without me.
27:19Wait, hold on. Do I sense a hint of jealousy?
27:23Do you like me?
27:27Don't flatter yourself.
27:29I'd never like an arrogant ass like you.
27:31Oh, so you're like a rich prick like Gary.
27:35Gary, go home.
27:37We're not getting back together.
27:39You psycho bitch.
27:41What are you talking about?
27:43Oh, stop, see?
27:45Don't play dumb.
27:47You dumped me for him eight years ago
27:49and he's known his dad, right?
27:53You have no idea what you're talking about.
27:55Okay, then tell me.
27:57Cindy, please just tell me then.
28:03Get rid of the baby
28:05and disappear from his life.
28:07I swear I will destroy everything you have.
28:11It's better he thinks Noah is Gary's kid than the truth.
28:15It was over a decade ago.
28:17Just let it go, Jackson.
28:25Maybe you want to forget about it
28:27because you don't want to come to terms that
28:29you traded love, real love, for money.
28:33You know, we could have had something together.
28:37We could have had a future together.
28:38Jackson, please.
28:39You know what?
28:41Fine.
28:42Here.
28:43I don't want you to catch a cold.
28:51Is that...?
28:57Yeah, the ring.
28:59I've had it since the beginning.
29:01Maybe this is stupid, but...
29:03It's like my good luck charm.
29:07Every time I have it with me,
29:09I feel like I can always make it through.
29:13Jackson, stop.
29:15Okay?
29:17Thank you for saving me.
29:19For the job.
29:21For the house.
29:22The rescue.
29:23But...
29:24Let's just leave this.
29:25Us.
29:26In the past.
29:27We'll call exile.
29:29It's best that we keep it professional.
29:35That's what you want.
29:37Thanks.
29:49Wow.
30:01Look.
30:02It's our new paramedic.
30:04Can I help you guys?
30:06Yeah.
30:07I actually hurt myself on the last job.
30:09I was wondering if you could take a look at it.
30:11Oh.
30:12You pulled your groin?
30:14Every night before bed.
30:17We were actually hoping that you might help us out with that.
30:20Yeah.
30:21Or is that just exclusively for Captain Carter?
30:25Do you guys have any real injury?
30:27Yeah, yeah, yeah.
30:28Sorry.
30:30You broke my heart?
30:32Wait, wait.
30:33You broke my heart, too.
30:35All right.
30:36Leave my station before I give you something to cry about.
30:38Ooh.
30:40Look.
30:41I don't think you know what you're dealing with, little girl.
30:44But I do.
30:47Jackson!
30:48We were just looking for you right now.
30:49We couldn't find you, so we came over here.
30:50Yo, we were just joking.
30:52We were just hazing to do, guy.
30:53Okay?
30:54It was all in good fun.
30:55What do you think, Cindy?
30:56Is it all in good fun?
30:57Huh?
30:58You heard her.
30:59Hey, hey, hey, hey.
31:00Please, please, please, please, slip, slip.
31:02We're sorry, boss.
31:03We're sorry, Cindy.
31:04We're sorry.
31:05We're sorry, Cindy.
31:06You okay?
31:07I'm sorry about that.
31:08Yeah, I'm fine.
31:09Thanks to you.
31:10Just doing my job.
31:11Well, you're a man make it impossible for me to do mine, so I'm gonna quit.
31:12What?
31:13What?
31:14What?
31:15What?
31:16What?
31:17What?
31:18We're sorry, boss.
31:19All right?
31:20We're sorry, Sidney.
31:21Let go.
31:22Hey, you okay?
31:23I'm sorry about that.
31:24Yeah, I'm fine.
31:25Thanks to you.
31:26Just doing my job.
31:27Well, you're a man making it impossible for me to do mine, so I'm gonna quit.
31:40What?
31:41What?
31:42No, no, no, you can't quit.
31:45You just started.
31:47If I wanted to be mocked every day, then I would just beg Vanessa for my job back.
31:52Hey, this will never happen again.
31:53It's a one-time occurrence, I promise.
31:55If it ever happens again...
32:01That was a pretty gnarly punch.
32:04Oh, I see.
32:06It's a pretty gnarly swelling.
32:09There's nothing.
32:11Yeah, I know.
32:14Look at you saving me for once.
32:18Just doing my job.
32:21You know, you're different now.
32:25When we were younger, you're stronger and tougher.
32:29Well, being a single mother will do that to anyone.
32:35You should try it.
32:38You've been alone this whole time?
32:42Well, just make sure that your hand stays dry for about three hours.
32:49I gotta go get organized.
32:51I guess I'm staying.
33:00So Gary just abandoned her?
33:03I need to know more.
33:04If Cindy won't tell me, I'll go to Gary.
33:13I can't believe the dweeb I used to know has become the hometown hero.
33:17Man, it's been too long.
33:19How you been?
33:20What brings you in today?
33:22You have no idea what you're talking about.
33:26Just got some questions.
33:29About Cindy.
33:31Oh, that brought me.
33:32Oh, she's got issues, man.
33:34Yeah, she begged me to come back to her.
33:37And then, after she dumped you, she told me that she didn't even want to be with me.
33:41What about Noah?
33:45Who the fuck is Noah?
33:48Come on, man.
33:49It's been years.
33:50Let's talk about something that matters.
33:51Forget that psycho bitch.
33:52Like, I got something real for you.
33:54Ow!
33:55Fuck!
33:56It's Salter again!
34:01Yo, you're loco, man.
34:03You two deserve each other.
34:05If Gary's not the father, then who is?
34:09What the hell's going on, Cindy?
34:11Mom, this is disgusting.
34:12Noah!
34:13Hey, uh, Cindy.
34:14I need to...
34:15Save us!
34:16What's up, little man?
34:17Mom get cooked to save her life.
34:18Oh!
34:19Excuse me!
34:20Yeah, he's not lying.
34:21Fine.
34:22Last time I'd do anything nice for you people.
34:24Okay, tell me.
34:25How do you like your burger cooked?
34:26Medium rare.
34:27No way.
34:28Me too.
34:29You know what that makes us?
34:30What?
34:31Taste buds.
34:32Taste buds.
34:33Oh my gosh.
34:34Are you guys sure with all those similarities you two are not related?
34:37Good?
34:38You all right?
34:39Mm-hmm.
34:40Yeah.
34:41I'm on pipe.
34:42Listen, can you, um, watch Noah for a second while we, we clean up the place?
34:46There's only two plates, so...
34:47Amanda?
34:48Can't we clean up the place?
34:49Okay.
34:50Okay.
34:51I'll help you clean up the place.
34:52What?
34:53You can't.
34:54I'll help you clean up the place.
34:55Yeah.
34:56Only two plates.
34:57Okay.
34:58Okay.
34:59I'm gonna keep coming up.
35:00Okay.
35:01I'll help you clean up the place.
35:04Okay.
35:05Okay.
35:06I'll help you clean up the place.
35:07Okay, well, I'm not sure.
35:09I'm not sure who I am.
35:11I'm not sure who I am.
35:12I'm not sure with all those similarities you two are not related.
35:13I'm not sure.
35:14All right.
35:15Good?
35:16Hello.
35:17I'll have your freedom, thanks.
35:21I, uh...
35:22Actually, hey, I'm gonna go talk to your mom real quick, but you stay here, okay?
35:26Okay.
35:27Okay, hold down the floor for me.
35:28All right, I'll be right back.
35:43What are you doing?
35:44Um, it's already as difficult as it is.
35:48Jackson isn't stupid.
35:49He's gonna find out eventually that he's not the father, and then what are you gonna do about it?
35:53Hey, what you guys talking about?
35:56What did you hear?
35:58Nothing.
36:00You mind if I have to send you for a second, Owen?
36:03Yeah, I have to use the bathroom anyway.
36:09Uh, you and Noah are getting along great.
36:11Oh, yeah, he's a great kid.
36:13Hey, you know, I'd love to help out more, you know, if you'd let me.
36:17Take him to school, pick him up from soccer practice, whatever you need.
36:24Ice cream!
36:26You want to babysit?
36:29You're a fire captain, right?
36:31That's a little below your pay grade.
36:32No, no, no, no, no.
36:34I just want to be part of your guys' lives.
36:40You know, and...
36:42Noah!
36:43Where's Noah?
36:43Shit!
36:44He lost a lot of blood.
36:56Is anyone a negative for transfusion?
36:58I am, but I can't.
37:00I'm his mother.
37:01Anyone else?
37:02Well, I'm a universal donor.
37:03Perfect.
37:04Come with me.
37:04Great.
37:04No, no, no, no, no.
37:05There has to be someone else.
37:06Cindy, stop.
37:06There's no time.
37:07No, it can't be you!
37:08Why?
37:09Why won't you let me help him?
37:11No!
37:11Okay, I don't need your help.
37:13Leave.
37:20I'm sorry.
37:25Cindy, I know you're scared, but the longer you keep this a secret, the more pain it's
37:30going to cause for the both of you.
37:32Just tell no one to do right now.
37:34I know.
37:37Goodness!
37:37We've located Thelnau Plasma.
37:39I just need your signature, okay?
37:41Right here.
37:48You know, it's just...
37:49Every time I feel like we're finally getting closer, she shuts me out.
37:53I don't get it.
37:54I mean, she's been alone for so long, and you guys didn't really end up well last time.
37:58What if she's just scared?
38:00What?
38:00And I'm not?
38:01Well, she's the one that dumped me.
38:03Yeah, I know.
38:04I know.
38:04How about she wouldn't even let me donate blood to know?
38:07Luckily, we found a plasma donor, but what if we did it?
38:10Why won't she let me help?
38:12Wait.
38:13They didn't let you donate?
38:14No!
38:15That's crazy, right?
38:17Wait, didn't you say Gary wasn't the father?
38:19Yeah.
38:21And?
38:22Direct relatives can't give blood to other direct relatives, so...
38:26Yo!
38:27What if you're Noah's dad?
38:28You're my dad!
38:30Taste buds.
38:31Who the fuck is Noah?
38:32Who the fuck is Noah?
38:33Who the fuck is Noah?
38:35Amanda's right.
38:35I can't keep hiding this.
38:36Taste buds.
38:38Who the fuck is known?
38:52Amanda's right. I can't keep hiding this.
38:54Jackson deserves to know.
38:56And Noah does too.
39:02How's he doing?
39:04Okay.
39:06Hey.
39:10I talked to Gary.
39:12What?
39:14You had no right to do that.
39:16You wouldn't tell me anything. I needed answers.
39:18Cindy?
39:22Is Noah my son?
39:30That's the only thing I can think of
39:32why you wouldn't let me donate blood.
39:34I mean, when I first met him
39:36we had an instant connection.
39:38And every time I've seen him since,
39:40I've realized that
39:42he eats like me, he talks like me,
39:44how he even looks like me.
39:46Why won't you tell me?
39:48Is Noah my son?
39:50Cindy, just tell me.
39:52Is Noah my son?
39:54Yes!
39:56Noah is your son.
39:58Why wouldn't you just say that?
40:10How could you hide this from me for eight years?
40:12What could I have possibly done to you that was so bad?
40:14Did you know?
40:16When you broke up with me?
40:18Well, get rid of the baby
40:20and disappear from this life.
40:22I swear I will destroy everything you have.
40:26But I love him!
40:28We love each other!
40:34If you really love him,
40:38then walk away.
40:40My son deserves better.
40:42Jackson, I was so young.
40:48And I was scared.
40:50And you had all these big dreams that you had to go do.
40:54What? The stupid firefighter program?
40:56You thought I cared more about that than him, than you?
41:00No! No!
41:02I knew that you didn't!
41:04That's why I left,
41:06because I knew that you wouldn't.
41:08But, Jackson...
41:12You didn't fight me on it.
41:14You never...
41:15You never asked me to stay.
41:17Well, because you said you didn't love me anymore!
41:19What?
41:20I never stopped loving you!
41:24Jackson,
41:25for every second of every day for the last eight years,
41:29I've been waiting for you.
41:31Hoping that you'd call,
41:33or you'd text,
41:35something,
41:37anything.
41:38I dreamt about telling you about Noah.
41:43I wasn't strong enough.
41:45I just...
41:48I wish I had been brave,
41:50and I didn't let your mother control...
41:52um...
42:09Looks like the cat's finally out the bag.
42:12Umm...
42:13He's just...
42:14You were just, uh...
42:15We were just, uh...
42:16I thought I said, no more lies.
42:20There's no more.
42:25Hey, you know what?
42:27Now his birthday's tomorrow.
42:30You know what he's always wanted?
42:37Hey, Dad.
42:39Bingo.
42:43I know just the right thing.
42:45So, what kind of cake would the birthday wear like?
43:01Honestly, I have no idea.
43:04New to this whole dad thing, huh?
43:05Yeah.
43:06Just found out 20 minutes ago.
43:07He doesn't even know.
43:08Oh, wow.
43:09Okay.
43:10Well, let's just start with his name then.
43:12Noah.
43:13Noah.
43:14I do know that.
43:15Gotcha.
43:16Thanks.
43:22Noah is Jackson's son?
43:24I am going to mess you up, Cindy White.
43:32Wait, sir!
43:34I need an address!
43:37I'll tell you.
43:39Don't worry, I'm a friend of the family.
43:41Cake for Jackson?
43:42That's me.
43:43Thank you, sir.
43:44No problem.
43:49Are you nervous?
43:50Is it that obvious?
43:51Don't be.
43:52You'll be great.
43:53Don't worry.
43:54Once you're out of here, I'm going to throw you the biggest party ever.
44:06Who says we have to wait?
44:08Surprise!
44:09Happy birthday!
44:10You remembered!
44:11How could I forget the coolest kid in town's birthday?
44:14There you go.
44:15Can I open it, Mom?
44:16Yes.
44:17I don't know what happened.
44:18I'm so sorry.
44:19It must have been some kind of mistake.
44:20Don't worry about that.
44:21Why does everyone call me a bastard?
44:22Well, I don't have a dad.
44:52No, you do have a dad.
44:54I do?
45:01I'm your father.
45:05Is that true?
45:08To the best that I could have possibly imagined!
45:13But where have you been all my life?
45:15Did you not want to be my dad?
45:17Of course I wanted to be your dad.
45:21I was...
45:23I was just scared.
45:25Why?
45:28You know, every day I put my life out on the line, fighting fires.
45:32I was just afraid that maybe one day I wouldn't be able to come home.
45:36But, you know, thanks to your mom,
45:41I'm finally brave enough to be here for you.
45:43Can you ever forgive me?
45:47Of course.
45:48Dad.
45:57Yeah?
45:58Are you excited?
45:59Yeah.
46:00Huh?
46:01Noah!
46:02You're alive!
46:03Yes!
46:04And I have a dad!
46:05Whoa!
46:06Is that him?
46:08That's me.
46:09You're the firefighter from the news!
46:11Hey!
46:12Nice to meet you.
46:13I'm Noah's dad.
46:15Can we take a selfie?
46:17Um...
46:18Yes.
46:19We can.
46:20Here we go.
46:24Beautiful.
46:25Thank you!
46:26Mm-hmm.
46:27Your dad is so cool.
46:28I know!
46:29We knew some firefighting stories he told me!
46:31He's totally showing.
46:33Yeah?
46:38What a great kid.
46:41Oh, who's it?
46:43Harry.
46:44At the station.
46:45Let me take this.
46:46Hey!
46:48It's ready?
46:50Okay, great.
46:51I'll be there as soon as I can.
46:52I thought we were done with the lawyers?
46:54Yes.
47:01Jackson has a son?
47:03Out of all people, I'm Cindy.
47:05I know.
47:06But I talked about a lesson.
47:08Broke bastard on his birthday cake.
47:12Genius.
47:14Show me that.
47:15That's a personal order?
47:17Did I ask?
47:18It's stunning.
47:19No, it's engraved.
47:20Says it's for...
47:21Cindy White?
47:22Whose order is this?
47:23Jackson Carter.
47:24The Jackson Carter.
47:25The fire captain?
47:26She's baby trapping him and he's falling for it.
47:27Not on my watch.
47:28Not on my watch.
47:30Is it ready?
47:31No?
47:32What?
47:33Oh, I'm sorry.
47:34No.
47:36No.
47:37No.
47:38No.
47:39No.
47:40No.
47:41No.
47:42No.
47:43No.
47:44No.
47:45No.
47:46No, no.
47:47No.
47:48It's not on my watch.
47:49No.
47:50No.
47:51No.
47:52No.
47:53No.
47:54No.
47:55Is it ready?
48:00Okay, great.
48:01I'll be there as soon as I can.
48:07Hey, baby.
48:09What's on your mind?
48:12Um, the call you got earlier.
48:17I kind of overheard it.
48:20I thought there was going to be no secrets, remember?
48:25You may have noticed I'm not wearing my necklace.
48:34Yeah, that seems strange.
48:38It's because I took it to a jeweler and...
48:43La la la la la.
48:44Not listening, not listening.
48:46You asked.
48:47I'm sorry, whatever you're saying, I can't hear you.
48:50La la la la la la la la la.
48:51I should have never doubted the tarot.
48:55I'm sorry.
48:57Okay, I've accepted my fate.
48:59Can you please just tell me if you said propose?
49:01Man, please.
49:03Any wife?
49:05Yes?
49:06Can I help you?
49:06Yeah, I was actually looking for a gas station if you wanted to.
49:12I was actually looking for a gas station if you wanted to.
49:14I was going to help you.
49:32These guys just kidnapped Sidney and then put it in a van.
49:34What?
49:34Yeah.
49:35All right, police security footage.
49:36I'll call 911.
49:36Yeah, yeah.
49:40Let's go.
49:44Welcome up.
49:47You got our GPS location?
49:50Stay here.
50:03Not so sassy now, are you?
50:06Vanessa, stop.
50:10Don't do something you're in a regret.
50:12Trust me, I'm not.
50:15Don't do this. Let's just talk.
50:18About what?
50:20About you marrying this slut?
50:23Or about you crawling back to your family to get our location?
50:26I thought that you were never going to go back to them, remember?
50:33I know you're hurt, Vanessa.
50:36It's between me and you, okay?
50:37Just leave Cindy out of this.
50:39This big misunderstanding, okay?
50:41What do you say?
50:42I say...
50:44Leave Cindy and marry me.
50:54Take that as a no.
50:56God, you really love her, don't you?
50:58That's too bad.
51:05Because I really didn't want to do this, but you're not really leaving me a choice.
51:10Put the later down.
51:11Let's just talk.
51:13If I can't have you, she certainly can.
51:17So that's...
51:17No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
51:32Yo, Jackson's still in there.
51:34Go, go, go.
51:34Go, go.
51:35Jackson.
51:35Jackson!
51:44Jackson!
51:45Jackson!
51:45You're alive!
51:50Jackson!
51:52Jackson!
51:53Somebody help, please!
51:55Let go of me, you pig!
51:58Jackson is mine!
52:00I'm killing you!
52:00I'm killing you!
52:01He's mine!
52:01And that's to me, you're under arrest!
52:04Please.
52:06Jackson, please.
52:07Please hold on, don't leave me.
52:09Max, Max.
52:12I can't get rid of me, I can't.
52:14No.
52:15Jackson!
52:16Jackson!
52:16No, please.
52:19Please!
52:21Jackson!
52:21Jackson!
52:31Hi, I'm here.
52:38No, no, no.
52:39Easy, easy.
52:40I don't want to push anything.
52:42Here, can I get some water?
52:43Yeah.
52:44Please.
52:44Yeah, sure, Dad.
52:48Here you go.
52:49Don't worry.
52:50I'll take good care of you.
52:51Mm-hmm.
52:53No.
52:54No.
52:56Come here.
52:58You're the best kid a dad could have asked for.
53:01Hey, I'll go get your medicine.
53:06He's really stepping up.
53:08That's amazing.
53:11He's can't be allowed to mess so much with his life, aren't I?
53:14I know.
53:16Cindy.
53:22Mom?
53:24That must be your son.
53:26He's so beautiful.
53:28What are you doing here?
53:30How do you know about Cindy's son?
53:33Because I paid her to leave you so she wouldn't trap you with a baby.
53:41I told her I'd ruin her life if she didn't leave you.
53:46Is that what you're doing here now?
53:47To threaten her again?
53:49Is that what?
53:51Mom?
53:52Get out.
53:53No.
53:53Mom?
53:54Get the fuck out of here!
53:55Go!
53:56Jackson.
53:56I'm sorry.
53:57Son.
53:58I'm so sorry.
54:00Cindy.
54:02Why?
54:03Why didn't you just tell me?
54:05I thought you said no more lies.
54:09I'm a mother now.
54:13And even though I would never make the choices that you did,
54:18I can understand them.
54:20And I forgive you.
54:24And I forgive you.
54:25You're a strong woman, Cindy.
54:28And an excellent mother.
54:33I'll give you to you soon, sweet.
54:35Jackson, I'm so sorry for everything.
54:42When Cindy broke up with you, I saw how heartbroken you were,
54:47and I immediately knew I'd made a terrible mistake.
54:51But I knew you'd never stop fighting for her.
54:55I truly want nothing but the best for both of you.
54:58Dad, who's the crying lady?
55:07It's your grandma.
55:09Why don't you give her a hug?
55:13Hi, grandma.
55:14I'm Noah.
55:15Hi, Noah.
55:18Don't worry.
55:19It's okay.
55:22Yes.
55:22It is now.
55:39Wow.
55:41Hey.
55:43Where is the uniform?
55:44I got it.
55:45You got the ring?
55:47I got it.
55:48All right.
55:49Speaking of, how's Cindy getting here?
55:50Only the best is bringing her.
55:52Mom, could you please go to Dad's photo shoot?
55:54Please, please, please, please.
55:57Fine.
55:59Because you asked so much.
56:09What is going on?
56:11Surprise!
56:13What?
56:14What is all of this?
56:15I want to make up for all the lost time.
56:24Give Noah a home and a wedding with more shirts.
56:31Cindy White, will you marry me?
56:36Yes!
56:38Yes.
56:39A million times, yes.
56:40Everything that I want to make.
56:45Oh!
56:45Woo!
56:47Woo!
56:47Woo!
56:50Promises that you'll see me, hell, that I want you.
56:56Only I don't want you.
57:00I want you.
57:01Woo!
57:01I want you.
57:01Woo!
57:02Woo!
57:02Woo!
57:03Woo!
57:03Woo!
