01:50You did amazing!
01:52Thank you!
01:54You're for sure gonna ace that firefighter aptitude test.
01:58Why are you leaving me for New York?
02:00Why so much?
02:02Why so much?
02:04Why so much?
02:06Why so much?
02:08Why so much?
02:10Why so much?
02:12What do you mean for New York?
02:14Why is summer already over?
02:16Well, I'm not leaving you, Cindy.
02:18Look, I know it's only been one summer,
02:22but I'm for sure that you're the love of my life.
02:28I'm glad I stole you away from that loser, Gary.
02:32Yeah, now I only have eyes for you.
02:34Seriously.
02:36Wait for you.
02:38I'll come back for you.
02:42I love you, Cindy White.
02:44I love you, T.I. Jackson.
02:46Oh.
02:48One more thing?
02:50You ass!
02:52I can't be pregnant.
03:04I have to tell Jackson.
03:06I can't be pregnant.
03:08I have to tell Jackson.
03:20Lorraine.
03:22You shamelessly tramp.
03:24Are you trying to trap my son with a baby?
03:26No!
03:28No!
03:29No, that's not what that is!
03:30Jackson has a bright future ahead of him,
03:32and I will not let you ruin it.
03:34Get rid of the baby,
03:36and disappear from this life.
03:38I swear I will destroy everything you have.
03:42But I love him!
03:46We love each other!
03:48If you really love him,
03:50then walk away!
03:54My son deserves better.
04:04Alright, this is it.
04:06I'm gonna put a ring on your finger before I leave.
04:08If he knew about the baby, he'd stay.
04:10For me.
04:12For us.
04:26Whoa!
04:32Uh, hey!
04:34What are you doing in here?
04:36I'm here to break up with you.
04:40Wait, what?
04:46Break up? Why?
04:58What the fuck?
05:00Is this a fucking joke?
05:02Why you even left you in your back with this fucking asshole?
05:04Hey, watch your mouth!
05:05Yes.
05:06Gary and I are back together.
05:08I'm thinking about it, and...
05:10His family money can give me the life I've always dreamed of.
05:14And I don't want to worry about losing my partner in a fire someday.
05:18But you've always been supportive of my dream.
05:23Goodbye, Jackson.
05:24I'm thinking about it.
05:28The very first moments of falling.
05:30I'm stirring all the hard...
05:34I felt the love I gave no more.
05:36I started to loathing with you in mind.
05:41I'm gonna learn to find with you...
05:42That was hilarious! Did you see his face was priceless?
05:47Gary, go home. We're not getting back together.
05:51What? Well, first you begged me to come out here and now you push me away?
05:56You psycho bitch!
06:03I'm sorry, Jackson. I'm so sorry.
06:12Captain Jackson, you have proven yourself to be a hero once again.
06:16But reports are saying that you stayed inside the blaze 30 minutes longer than protocol allows.
06:22What was your reason for staying inside?
06:25Well, I'm just doing my job.
06:28Captain Jackson, I just wanted to say on behalf of my father's hospital, thank you for saving our lives.
06:37You are truly a hero.
06:39It's no problem.
06:40You must be tired after all that. You could use a little rest.
06:43Why don't we go back to my VIP lounge and have a lot of fun.
06:48Thanks, but no thanks. I actually have to check on a patient. Thank you for your time.
06:52No problem.
06:53I'll come with you.
06:57Time to get back to work, Cindy White.
06:59Clock's ticking.
07:01Okay, Vanessa.
07:02Jackson.
07:19Jackson?
07:20Excuse me?
07:21That is Captain Jackson Carter to you.
07:24He's L.A.'s hottest, bravest, most badass firefighter.
07:30And he just saved your worthless life.
07:32Vanessa, please. That's not necessary.
07:34Where's his thank you?
07:37You know, he could have died pulling your ass out of that fire.
07:41And if something had happened to him, I would have made you pay for it. Trust me.
07:47I wasn't in the fire by choice, Vanessa.
07:50Don't talk her back to me, Cindy.
07:54I'm your boss.
07:56My dad owns this hospital.
07:58And by the way, I am so sick of your temper.
08:03You know what?
08:04You're fired.
08:05You know what?
08:06You're fired.
08:11You know what?
08:12You're fired.
08:14Whoa.
08:15What?
08:16Come on, Vanessa.
08:17I need this job.
08:19Well, maybe you should have thought about that before you talked back to the boss's daughter.
08:24Come on.
08:25Let's go somewhere.
08:26I'm like right now.
08:27You know, now that I think about it, there is a new opening for a paramedic in my department.
08:32I would be so honored.
08:34Someone just became available.
08:37Hey, Cindy.
08:39How would you like to join my team?
08:41What?
08:43A paramedic job?
08:44What's the catch, Jackson?
08:46What game is this?
08:51Thank you so much, but I can't accept.
08:55Sorry.
08:57I would be so...
08:58Mommy!
08:59Mommy!
09:00I'm sorry.
09:01You just ran past me.
09:02That's okay.
09:05Great.
09:07Just what I need.
09:08More nobodies.
09:09All right.
09:10I'm almost right.
09:11Thank you for saving my mom.
09:16Just doing my job.
09:19You have a son?
09:21Yeah.
09:22This is Noah.
09:23Noah.
09:24Hi.
09:25My name is Noah.
09:26Nice to meet you.
09:28Hey.
09:29Nice to meet you.
09:31I'm...
09:32Jackson.
09:34Wait.
09:35You're my dad!
09:37Noah!
09:38You didn't tell him?
09:40That's not funny.
09:43I'm so sorry.
09:45We have to go get ice cream.
09:46We have ice cream.
09:47Right?
09:48Let's go.
09:49I love ice cream!
09:54Noah, why did you pull Jackson down?
09:55He looks like my dad for my dream.
09:57So after she broke up with me, she had a kid with Gary?
10:07Gary?
10:23So your love life is a disaster.
10:27Tell me something I don't know.
10:29But, but, but, but, but, your soulmate's here.
10:33And true love follows.
10:34Is there anything in here about money?
10:38Love's not paying the rent, honey.
10:40Jackson's job would.
10:43That's not gonna happen.
10:45Okay, well, argue with the cards, honey.
10:47You're fated to take this gig.
10:49Marry the love of your life and live happily ever after.
10:54Okay, see, this is why I don't care about this.
10:57My life has never been this neat.
10:59Okay, well, good thing you don't have to believe in it for it to be true.
11:05Jackson loves you and I don't need the cards to know that.
11:09Okay.
11:10We're done.
11:11Conversation.
11:13Run all you want.
11:14Fake comes for us all.
11:16Goodnight.
11:18Mark my words, honey.
11:19You two are not over.
11:20What do you want, Vanessa?
11:36Just making sure you're not stealing anything.
11:39Strip searcher.
11:40What?
11:41No.
11:42Are you kidding?
11:43What is this?
11:45Are we in high school?
11:47Wait.
11:48Why?
11:49Hey.
11:50Strip her top.
11:51She might be hiding medicine under.
11:52Vanessa!
11:53What is this?
11:54Fuck.
11:56Let's go.
11:57No.
11:58No.
11:59Wait.
12:00No.
12:01Enjoy the chill time, bitch.
12:03Come on.
12:05Fuck.
12:06Vanessa!
12:07Thanks for implementing the new safety measures, Captain Carter.
12:14For the last time.
12:16Call me Jackson.
12:17I'm just doing my job.
12:19You're too modest, Jackson.
12:23Help.
12:24Somebody help, please.
12:27Cindy?
12:29Hello?
12:31Cindy!
12:32Jackson!
12:33Hey!
12:34Can you help me?
12:37Alright, stand back.
12:38Okay.
12:44What?
12:45Turn around!
12:46Okay.
12:49Jackson.
12:50I'm not looking.
12:51Wait, the door!
12:52You're not looking?
12:53Oh, shit!
12:54Fuck.
12:58Wait, the door!
12:59You're not looking?
13:00Shit!
13:02Fuck.
13:03Great.
13:05Now we're both stuck in here.
13:14Damn.
13:15Is he sexier than I remember?
13:19You know it's rude to stare.
13:21Jerk.
13:24So, when did you have a kid?
13:26When did you come back?
13:27Captain Jackson Carter?
13:31Why are you here?
13:32What do you want from me?
13:34Well, I always said I'd come back.
13:37That was years ago.
13:38You were kids.
13:40Doesn't make it not true.
13:44What about you?
13:46No ring.
13:47No Gary inside.
13:48I guess that happily ever after didn't work out.
13:50Hey!
13:51You just got fired.
13:52Just take my job.
13:53Okay?
13:54It's a good offer.
13:55No.
13:56I don't need your offer.
13:57I don't need you to rescue me.
13:59Again.
14:00What are you so afraid of?
14:02Think about your son.
14:04He's got a point.
14:06I do need a job.
14:07And money.
14:11Fine.
14:13I'll take your offer.
14:14And I'll be the best paramedic there is on the team.
14:17It'll be your ass getting saved by mine.
14:19I saw her sneak into storage.
14:21She's up to something.
14:26I saw her sneak into the storage room.
14:28She's up to something.
14:29Probably stealing meds or case violence or worse.
14:33I'm starting to think she's the one who started to fire.
14:37You're finished thief.
14:41What?
14:42What is it?
14:45Jackson.
14:46But I only left her in here.
14:51Oh!
14:52Thanks for the confession.
14:53You bitch!
14:54Enough!
14:55Stop embarrassing yourself, Vanessa.
14:58I am so sorry for my daughter's behavior.
15:01Miss White, Mr. Carter.
15:02You're apologizing to her?
15:03Shut up!
15:05Mrs. Paul.
15:13Hello?
15:15Thank you for saving me again.
15:19Well, I wouldn't call getting us both trapped in that room with a bunch of a rescue.
15:23But I'll tell you good.
15:26Excited to see you at work?
15:28What happened?
15:34Hello?
15:35Hello, Miss White.
15:36It's Principal Coleman.
15:37Your son got into a fight.
15:39You need to come.
15:40Now.
15:41What?
15:46Noah!
15:47Are you hurt?
15:48Let me see.
15:49Is he hurt?
15:50He's the one who attacked my son.
15:53Oh.
15:54I'm sorry.
15:55If...
15:56If your son needs a doctor, I can cover it.
15:58I don't need your money.
15:59I have money.
16:01What I want is this animal, what you call a son, expelled.
16:09What?
16:11You're not gonna do that, right?
16:13Well, per school policy, serious violence does warrant expulsion.
16:17But he started it!
16:19You called me a bastard.
16:21He said...
16:22He called my mom...
16:24A...
16:25A slut.
16:27My mom says that kids like you don't know your dads because your moms are total...
16:32Sluts.
16:33Shut up!
16:34Hey!
16:35Don't!
16:36You're legal children!
16:40Shut up!
16:41Don't!
16:42You're legal children!
16:48Jackson!
16:49You okay, kidda?
16:50Get go of me!
16:51How dare you!
16:53Mr. Carter!
16:54Hero of the city!
16:55You know the White family?
16:58I do.
17:00President Collins, I didn't know you allowed such bad decorum.
17:06Excuse me, you little son of a...
17:08Enough!
17:10Mr. Carter, I apologize for this incident.
17:13And you...
17:14You...
17:15You...
17:16Apologize to Noah!
17:17Ha!
17:18No way!
17:19This bastard attacked my son!
17:21This man has saved our school and countless others!
17:24And it's a price we could never hope to repay!
17:28Actually, there is a way to pay it back.
17:30Really?
17:32Well, just tell me how.
17:35Expel that boy.
17:36Ah!
17:42Expel that boy.
17:43Ah!
17:44All right?
17:45Son, you are...
17:46Wait, wait, wait, wait!
17:47No.
17:48We don't want to expel him.
17:49We don't?
17:50We don't?
17:51We don't!
17:52We don't.
17:53No.
17:54Both boys were in the wrong.
17:55Noah, why is it?
17:57You said extremely rude things to Noah and I, and you need to apologize.
18:02And Noah, you can't hit someone no matter what they say.
18:06Okay?
18:07You need to say sorry.
18:08My son will not be apologizing, Bart.
18:11I just...
18:12Saved your son from expulsion.
18:16Son?
18:17So you're sorry.
18:18What?
18:21Sorry.
18:23What was that?
18:24I'm sorry.
18:25Good.
18:27Noah?
18:29I'm sorry, I guess.
18:30I think you owe Miss White an apology, too.
18:37I am sorry, Miss White.
18:47See, your mom's a smart cookie.
18:50I shouldn't have tried to expel that boy the same way you shouldn't have tried to fight him.
18:55Next time, just come to us or the principal.
18:57Okay?
18:58Okay.
18:59I...
19:01Nice.
19:04Why does Captain Carter know the whites?
19:06Is...
19:07Is he Noah's dad?
19:13How does Captain Carter know the White family?
19:15What's...
19:16Does he Noah's dad?
19:18No.
19:19Look.
19:20Uh, Principal Collin, this isn't what it looks like.
19:23Oh, no, no.
19:24Do not worry, Miss White.
19:25Mom's the word.
19:27You won't get a peep out of me.
19:29But there's nothing to...
19:30Oh, no.
19:31Do not fret.
19:32We're going to take very special care of Noah.
19:33We're going to take very special care of Noah.
19:35Both for you and for...
19:39Just for you.
19:40So...
19:41What were you and Principal Collins whispering about?
19:46Nothing.
19:47What?
19:48It seemed like something.
19:49Nothing.
19:50No, no, thank you.
19:51For you to know about.
19:52Ah.
19:53Excellent qualifier.
19:54Hey.
19:55Want a race?
19:56Yes.
19:57Yeah?
19:58Alright, go.
19:59Come on.
20:00Come on, I'm beating you.
20:01Come on, hurry up.
20:02Maybe I should tell him he's so bothered.
20:03He's so good with him.
20:04Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go.
20:05Hi.
20:06Hey.
20:07Can we take a selfie?
20:08I love your fire safety TikTok videos.
20:09And I adore your calendars.
20:10No, those are bad.
20:11Yeah, that's good.
20:12That's good.
20:13Nice.
20:14Oh, nice.
20:15Oh, nice.
20:16Oh, nice.
20:17Oh, nice.
20:18Oh, nice.
20:19Oh, nice.
20:20Oh, nice.
20:21Oh, nice.
20:22Oh, nice.
20:23Oh, nice.
20:24Oh, nice.
20:25Oh, nice.
20:26Oh, nice.
20:27Oh, nice.
20:28Oh, nice.
20:29Oh, nice.
20:30Oh, nice.
20:31Jackson, can I have your phone number?
20:33If I'm ever feeling lightheaded in the bath,
20:36could I call you for a personal rest?
20:39Ah, she's bad.
20:40Hey.
20:41Before you play with your little fan club,
20:43can you make sure my kid's OK?
20:45He was just right here.
20:47Dad, he almost just ran in the middle of the street.
20:50Nope.
20:51I can't tell him he's a phone number.
20:52I can't flip Noah's world upside down like that.
20:55Here.
21:00Hey.
21:01You never answered my question.
21:03Oh, in case of emergency, just call 9-1-1.
21:06OK.
21:07Cindy, hold on.
21:08Wait up.
21:09Sorry about that.
21:10That never happens.
21:11What now, superstar hero?
21:14Well, you know, with your new job,
21:17it actually comes with a company house.
21:20Oh, OK.
21:21No thanks.
21:22It's free.
21:25Well, then I guess we can move in.
21:29Great.
21:30Awesome.
21:31OK.
21:32What's, uh, where are you at now?
21:33I can help you move.
21:34That's not necessary.
21:3547 Pine Lane apartment, floor B.
21:37Boom!
21:38See?
21:39That's why you're the man of the house.
21:41You little conspirator.
21:43Whoa.
21:44My new room is so huge.
21:45Can I go unpack my toys and go play?
21:46Absolutely.
21:47You got it?
21:48Well, now that we're all alone,
21:53Whoa, my new room is so huge, can I go unpack my toys and go play?
22:04Absolutely.
22:05You got it?
22:06Well, now that we're all alone.
22:23It's time to get sweaty.
22:25Excuse me?
22:26Unpacking, Cindy.
22:28Mind out of the gutter.
22:31That was definitely on purpose.
22:35Oh, hey.
22:39Let me.
22:44Oh!
22:46I got it.
22:47Die, die, die!
22:50I got it.
22:53What?
22:58Come here.
23:00Is she finally giving me a shot?
23:15Ow!
23:18What was that for?
23:20I was trying to kiss you.
23:22What?
23:23Why?
23:24You said come here!
23:25There's something on your face.
23:27Sorry, I'm not swooning over you like all the other moms.
23:33Mm-hmm.
23:34Okay.
23:35Well, I guess I'll get going, but be sure to say hi to your neighbor.
23:42I heard he's a great, handsome, charming, athletic, fun, smart, intelligent guy.
23:50Wait, you're my neighbor?
23:51I guess so.
23:52Huh.
23:53How convenient.
23:55I guess so.
23:56Huh.
23:57How convenient.
23:58Why the long face?
24:00Jackson?
24:01The one that got away is now in reaching distance.
24:03Yeah, except she's got a kid.
24:04How Gary.
24:05Huh.
24:06Huh.
24:07How convenient.
24:08Why the long face, Jackson?
24:09The one that got away is now in reaching distance.
24:13Yeah, except she's got a kid.
24:14How Gary.
24:15Huh.
24:16The trust fund catch you left before?
24:17Yeah, except she's broke.
24:18Yeah, right.
24:19He's loaded.
24:20No, it doesn't make any sense.
24:21Whatever.
24:22I don't even care.
24:23You know what?
24:24I'm over her, actually.
24:25I'm Jackson Carter.
24:26Yeah.
24:27I'm Jackson Carter.
24:28Yeah.
24:29Why the long face, Jackson?
24:31The one that got away is now in reaching distance.
24:33Yeah, except she's got a kid.
24:34How Gary.
24:36Oh, the trust fund catch you left before?
24:38Yup.
24:39Except she's broke.
24:40Yeah, right.
24:41He's loaded.
24:42I know, it doesn't make any sense.
24:44Whatever.
24:45I don't even care.
24:46You know what?
24:47I'm over her, actually.
24:48I'm Jackson Carter, alright? Town hero. I can get whoever I want.
24:53Yeah, right. Keep telling yourself that.
24:58Hello, boys. Party has arrived.
25:02Vanessa, what are you doing here?
25:04You're acting all mopey, so I thought some company would do you some good.
25:08Okay.
25:09Welcome in.
25:10I'm sure that I'm much more fun than whoever she is someday.
25:19Let's get this party started.
25:29Cindy! Cindy!
25:31Okay.
25:33Okay.
25:34Cindy, hi.
25:36Would you like to come in?
25:40Um, I just wanted to say thank you.
25:42And I have.
25:43Bye!
25:46Would you like to come in? That's really sweet of you.
25:49We'd love to have you.
25:51We might play a game.
25:53It'll be fun.
26:03See?
26:04It's simple.
26:05Even Cindy's brat could do it.
26:08Get up. Let's play.
26:13Hey, do you actually learn switching with Cindy?
26:31What the fuck?
26:32Oops.
26:35I guess I've had a little too much fun.
26:36Vanessa, what's your problem?
26:37Don't yell at me, Jackson.
26:39I was having a little fun.
26:41Is that too much for Cindy?
26:43I'm so sorry. Here.
26:47Sit.
26:49Nice.
26:53What are you two looking at?
26:54Hey.
27:00Don't worry.
27:01I'm leaving.
27:02I just don't want Noah to see me like this.
27:03No, no.
27:04I'm sorry.
27:05I don't know what that was.
27:06Are you okay?
27:08What do you think?
27:13Sorry.
27:14For that.
27:16And for crashing your little party.
27:17It looked like you and your fangirls were having fun without me.
27:20Wait, hold on.
27:23Do I sense a hint of jealousy?
27:26Do you like me?
27:31Don't flatter yourself.
27:32I'd never like an arrogant ass like you.
27:35Oh, so you'd like a rich prick like Gary.
27:38Gary, go home.
27:40We're not getting back together.
27:41You psycho bitch.
27:45What are you talking about?
27:47Oh, stop, Cindy.
27:48Don't play dumb.
27:50Alright, you dumped me for him eight years ago and he's known his dad, right?
27:57You have no idea what you're talking about.
28:02Okay, then tell me.
28:03Cindy, please just tell me then.
28:06Get rid of the baby and disappear from his life.
28:11I swear I will destroy everything you have.
28:15It's better he thinks Noah is Gary's kid than the truth.
28:19It was over a decade ago.
28:21Just let it go, Jackson.
28:22Maybe you want to forget about it because you don't want to come to terms that you traded love, real love, for money.
28:37You know, we could have had something together. We could have a future together.
28:41Jackson, please.
28:45You know what? Fine. Here.
28:47I don't want you to catch a cold.
28:52What's that?
28:55What's that?
28:59Yeah, the ring.
29:02I've had it since the beginning.
29:06Maybe this is stupid, but...
29:08It's like my good luck charm.
29:11Every time I have it with me, I feel like I can always make it through.
29:16Jackson, stop.
29:19Okay?
29:21Thank you for saving me.
29:24For the job, for the house, the rescue, but...
29:28Let's just leave this, us, in the past.
29:31We'll call exile.
29:33It's best that we keep it professional.
29:40That's what you want.
29:44Thanks.
29:45Wow.
29:47Look.
29:49It's our new paramedic.
29:51Can I help you guys?
29:52Yeah, I actually, um, hurt myself on the last job.
29:55I was wondering if you could take a look at it.
29:56Oh.
29:57You pulled your groin?
29:58Every night before bed.
29:59We were actually hoping that you might help us out with that.
30:00Yeah.
30:01Or is that just exclusively for Captain Carter?
30:02Yeah.
30:03I was wondering if you could take a look at it.
30:04I was wondering if you could take a look at it.
30:06Oh.
30:07You pulled your groin?
30:08Mm-hmm.
30:09Every night before bed.
30:10We were actually hoping that you might help us out with that.
30:11Yeah.
30:12Or is that just exclusively for Captain Carter?
30:14Do you guys have any real injury?
30:15Yeah, yeah, yeah.
30:16Sorry.
30:17You broke my heart?
30:18Wait, wait.
30:19You broke my heart, too.
30:20All right.
30:21Leave my station before I give you something to cry about.
30:22Ooh.
30:23Look.
30:24I don't think you know what you're dealing with, little girl.
30:25But I do.
30:26I don't think you know what you're dealing with, little girl.
30:27But I do.
30:28What'd I do.
30:29What'd I do?
30:43What'd I do?
30:50What did I do?
30:58Jackson!
30:59We were just looking for you right now.
31:00We couldn't find you, so we came over here.
31:04Yo, we were just joking.
31:08We were just hazing to do, guy.
31:10Okay, it was all in good fun.
31:12What do you think, Cindy?
31:13Is it all in good fun?
31:17You heard her.
31:17Hey, hey, hey, please, please, please, slip, slip.
31:20We're sorry, boss.
31:21We're sorry, Cindy.
31:25Let go.
31:30Hey, you okay?
31:31I'm sorry about that.
31:33Yeah, I'm fine.
31:35Thanks to you.
31:36Just doing my job.
31:38Well, your men make it impossible for me to do mine, so I'm going to quit.
31:43What?
31:47What?
31:47No, no, no, you can't quit.
31:48You just started.
31:50If I wanted to be mocked every day, then I would just beg Vanessa for my job back.
31:55Look, this will never happen again.
31:56It's a one-time occurrence, I promise.
31:58If it ever happens again...
32:00That was a pretty gnarly punch.
32:06Let me see.
32:09It's a pretty gnarly swelling.
32:13There's nothing.
32:13Look at you saving me for once.
32:20I'm just doing my job.
32:23You know, you're different now.
32:27You're stronger and tougher.
32:32Well, being a single mother will do that to anyone.
32:39You should try it.
32:41You've been alone this whole time?
32:43Just make sure that your hand stays dry for about three hours.
32:52I gotta go get organized.
32:54I guess I'm staying.
32:56So Gary just abandoned her?
33:05I need to know more.
33:07If Cindy won't tell me, I'll go to Gary.
33:10I can't believe the dweeb I used to know has become the hometown hero.
33:20Man, it's been too long.
33:22How you been?
33:22What brings you in today?
33:24You have no idea what you're talking about.
33:29Just got some questions.
33:32About Cindy.
33:34Oh, that broad.
33:35Oh, she's got issues, man.
33:37Yeah, she begged me to come back to her.
33:40And then, after she dumped you,
33:42she told me that she didn't even want to be with me.
33:47What about Noah?
33:48Who the fuck is Noah?
33:51Come on, man.
33:52It's been years.
33:52Let's talk about something that matters.
33:54Forget that psycho bitch.
33:56Like, I got something real for you.
33:57Oh, fuck.
33:58It's shelter again.
34:03Yo, you're loco, man.
34:05You two deserve each other.
34:08If Gary's not the father, then who is?
34:10What the hell's going on, Cindy?
34:20Mom, this is disgusting.
34:22Noah?
34:23Hey, Cindy.
34:24I need to...
34:25Save us!
34:27What's up, little man?
34:29Mom can't cook to save her life.
34:30Oh, excuse me.
34:32Yeah, he's not lying.
34:35Fine.
34:36Last time I'd do anything nice for you people.
34:39Okay, tell me.
34:40How do you like your burger cooked?
34:41Medium rare.
34:43No way.
34:45Me too.
34:46You know what that makes us?
34:48What?
34:49Taste buds.
34:50Oh, my gosh.
34:52Are you guys sure with all those similarities?
34:54You two are not related.
35:03You all right?
35:04Mm-hmm.
35:04Yeah.
35:05Wrong pipe.
35:08Listen, can you watch Noah for a second while we...
35:12We?
35:13Clean up the plates?
35:14There's only two plates, so...
35:15Amanda?
35:16I'll help you clean up the plates.
35:18I, uh...
35:25Actually, hey, I'm gonna go talk to your mom real quick, but you stay here, okay?
35:29Okay.
35:30Okay, hold down the fort for me.
35:31All right, I'll be right back.
35:46What are you doing?
35:48It's already as difficult as it is.
35:51Jackson isn't stupid.
35:52He's gonna find out eventually that he's not the father, and then what are you gonna do about it?
35:56Hey, what are you guys talking about?
35:59What did you hear?
36:01Nothing.
36:03You mind if I talk to Cindy for a second?
36:05Hold on.
36:06Yeah, I have to use the bathroom anyway.
36:12Uh, you and Noah are getting along great.
36:14Oh, yeah, he's a great kid.
36:16Hey, you know, I'd love to help out more, you know, if you'd let me.
36:20Take him to school, pick him up from soccer practice, whatever you need.
36:27Ice cream!
36:28You want to babysit?
36:32You're a fire captain, right?
36:34That's a little below your pay grade.
36:35No, no, no.
36:36I just want to be part of your guys' lives.
36:39You know, and...
36:44Noah?
36:46Where's Noah?
36:47Shit.
36:58He lost a lot of blood.
36:59Is anyone a negative for a transfusion?
37:02I am, but I can't.
37:03I'm his mother.
37:04Anyone else?
37:05Well, I'm a universal donor.
37:06Perfect.
37:07Come with me.
37:07No, no, no, no, no.
37:08There has to be someone else.
37:09Cindy, stop.
37:10There's no time.
37:10No, it can't be you.
37:11Why?
37:12Why won't you let me help him?
37:14No!
37:14Okay, I don't need your help.
37:16Leave.
37:17I'm sorry.
37:28Cindy, I know you're scared, but the longer you keep this a secret, the more pain it's going
37:33to cause for the both of you.
37:35I just don't know what to do right now.
37:37I know.
37:40Goodness!
37:41We've located thaline plasma.
37:42I just need your signature, okay?
37:44Right here.
37:47You know, it's just...
37:52Every time I feel like we're finally getting closer, she shuts me out.
37:56I don't get it.
37:57I mean, she's been alone for so long, and you guys didn't really end up well last time.
38:01What if she's just scared?
38:03What?
38:03And I'm not?
38:04Well, she's the one that dumped me.
38:06Yeah, I know.
38:07I know.
38:07How about she wouldn't even let me donate blood to Nell?
38:10Luckily, we found a plasma donor, but what if we didn't?
38:13Why won't she let me help?
38:15Wait.
38:15They didn't let you donate?
38:17No!
38:18That's crazy, right?
38:20Wait.
38:20Didn't you say Gary wasn't the father?
38:22Yeah.
38:24And?
38:25Direct relatives can't give blood to other direct relatives, so...
38:29Yo!
38:30What if you're Noah's dad?
38:31You're my dad!
38:40Taste buds.
38:41Who the fuck is Noah?
38:43No!
38:43Amanda's right.
38:57I can't keep hiding this.
38:58Jackson deserves to know.
39:00I know it does, too.
39:01How's he doing?
39:07Good.
39:09Hey.
39:10I need to talk.
39:13I talked to Gary.
39:15What?
39:17You had no right to do that.
39:18You wouldn't tell me anything.
39:19I needed answers.
39:22Cindy?
39:23Cindy?
39:25Is Noah my son?
39:26I mean, that's the only thing I can think of, why you wouldn't let me donate blood.
39:37I mean, when I first met him, we had an instant connection.
39:41And every time I've seen him since, I've realized that he eats like me, he talks like me, how he even looks like me.
39:48Why won't you tell me, is Noah my son?
39:55Cindy, just tell me, is Noah my son?
39:57Yes!
40:01Noah is your son.
40:11Why wouldn't you just say that?
40:14How could you hide this from me for eight years?
40:17What could I have possibly done to you that was so bad?
40:20Did you know when you broke up with me?
40:25Get rid of the baby and disappear from this life.
40:28I swear I will destroy everything you have.
40:33But I love him!
40:36We love each other!
40:40If you really love him, then walk away.
40:44My son deserves better.
40:46Jackson, I was so young, and I was scared.
40:55And you had all these big dreams that you had to go do.
40:58The stupid firefighter program?
41:01You thought I cared more about that than him?
41:03Than you?
41:04No!
41:05No!
41:05I knew that you didn't.
41:08That's why I left, because I knew that you wouldn't.
41:12But, Jackson...
41:14You didn't fight me on it.
41:17You never...
41:18You never asked me to stay.
41:21Because you said you didn't love me anymore!
41:23What?
41:23I never stopped loving you!
41:25Jackson, for every second of every day for the last eight years, I've been waiting for you.
41:34Hoping that you'd call, or you'd text, something, anything!
41:44I dreamt about telling you about Noah.
41:47I wasn't strong enough.
41:50I just...
41:52I wish I had been brave, and I didn't let your mother control...
41:55It looks like the cat's finally out of the bag.
42:16Um, it's just...
42:18You were just, uh...
42:19I thought I said no more lies.
42:23There's one more.
42:25Hey, you know what?
42:31Now his birthday's tomorrow.
42:33You know what he's always wanted?
42:37Good.
42:41Dad.
42:42Bingo.
42:46I know just the right thing.
42:55So, what kind of cake would the birthday wear like?
43:04Honestly, I have no idea.
43:07New to this whole dad thing, huh?
43:08Yeah.
43:09I just found out 20 minutes ago.
43:10He doesn't even know.
43:12Oh, wow.
43:13Okay.
43:13Well, let's just start with his name then.
43:16Noah.
43:16I do know that.
43:18Gotcha.
43:20Thanks.
43:25Noah is Jackson's son?
43:30I am going to mess you up, Cindy White.
43:35Wait, sir!
43:36I need an address.
43:40I'll tell you.
43:43Don't worry.
43:43I'm a friend of the family.
43:52Cake for Jackson?
43:53That's me.
43:54Thank you, sir.
43:55No problem.
43:55Are you nervous?
44:03Is it that obvious?
44:05Don't be.
44:06You'll be great.
44:07Don't worry.
44:08Once you're out of here, I'm going to throw you the biggest party ever.
44:10Who says we have to wait?
44:14Surprise!
44:15Happy birthday!
44:16You remembered!
44:18How could I forget the coolest kid in town's birthday?
44:21There you go.
44:23Can I open it, Mom?
44:24Yes.
44:24I don't know what happened there.
44:44I'm so sorry.
44:45It must have been some kind of mistake.
44:46Don't worry about that.
44:47Why does everyone call me a bastard?
44:50Why don't I have a dad?
44:51No, you do have a dad.
44:57I do?
45:04I'm your father.
45:08Is that true?
45:12It's the best that I could have possibly imagined.
45:14But where have you been all my life?
45:18Did you not want to be my dad?
45:22Of course I wanted to be your dad.
45:25I was...
45:26I was just scared.
45:28Why?
45:29You know, every day I put my life out on the line fighting fires.
45:36I was just afraid that maybe one day I wouldn't be able to come home.
45:40But, you know, thanks to your mom,
45:44I'm finally brave enough to be here for you.
45:49Can you ever forgive me?
45:50Of course.
45:52Dad.
45:52Yeah?
46:01Are you excited?
46:02Yeah.
46:03All right, cool.
46:04Noah!
46:05You're alive!
46:06Yes!
46:07And I have a dad!
46:08Whoa!
46:08Is that him?
46:11That's me.
46:12You're the firefighter from the news!
46:15Hey!
46:15Nice to meet you!
46:16I'm Noah's dad.
46:18Can we take a selfie?
46:20Um, yes.
46:21We can.
46:23Here we go.
46:27Beautiful.
46:28Thank you!
46:29Mm-hmm.
46:30Your dad is so cool.
46:32I know!
46:32We need some firefighting stories, he told me!
46:35He's totally showing.
46:37Yeah?
46:41What a great kid.
46:44Oh, who's it?
46:46Harry, at the station.
46:48Let me take this.
46:49Hey!
46:49Hey!
46:51He's ready?
46:53Okay, great.
46:54I'll be there as soon as I can.
46:55I thought we were done with the lawyers.
47:04Jackson has a son?
47:06Out of all people, it's Cindy.
47:08I know.
47:09But I talked about a lesson.
47:12Broke bastard on his birthday cake.
47:15Genius.
47:15Show me that.
47:18That's a personal order?
47:19Did I ask?
47:26It's stunning.
47:29No, it's engraved.
47:31It says it's for...
47:33Cindy White?
47:37Whose order is this?
47:39Jackson Carter.
47:40The Jackson Carter.
47:42The fire captain.
47:46She's baby trapping him
47:48and he's falling for it.
47:51Not on my watch.
48:00It's ready?
48:02Okay, great.
48:04I'll be there as soon as I can.
48:10Hey, baby.
48:13What's on your mind?
48:15Um, the call you got earlier.
48:20I kind of overheard it.
48:24Thought there was going to be no secrets, remember?
48:25Well, you may have noticed
48:34I'm not wearing my necklace.
48:37Yeah, that seems, um, strange.
48:41It's because I took it to a jeweler
48:44and...
48:46La, la, la, la, la.
48:47Not listening, not listening.
48:49You asked.
48:50I...
48:50Sorry, whatever you're saying,
48:51I can't hear you.
48:53La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
48:56I should have never doubted the tarot.
48:58I'm sorry.
49:00Okay, I've accepted my fate.
49:02Can you please just tell me
49:03because I propose?
49:04Man, please.
49:06Andy White?
49:08Yes?
49:09Can I help you?
49:10Yeah, I was actually looking
49:10for a gas station if you were in.
49:15I was actually looking
49:16for a gas station if you were in.
49:17Oh, stop!
49:19Are you still there?
49:21No!
49:21You're right there!
49:25Hey!
49:33That's it!
49:35These guys just kidnapped sending it
49:36and put it in a van.
49:37What?
49:37Yeah.
49:38I post security footage.
49:39I'll call 911.
49:40Yeah, yeah.
49:43Let's go.
49:49Buckle up.
49:50You got her GPS location?
49:57Stay here!
50:06Not so sassy now, are you?
50:09Vanessa, stop!
50:10Don't do something
50:14you're in her garage.
50:16Trust me, I'm not.
50:18Okay, don't do this.
50:19Let's just, let's just talk.
50:21About what?
50:23About you marrying this slut?
50:26Or about you crawling back
50:27to your family to get her location?
50:29I thought that you were never
50:31going to go back to them, remember?
50:32I know you're hurt, Vanessa.
50:38It's just, it's between me and you, okay?
50:40Just leave Cindy out of this.
50:42This is a big misunderstanding, okay?
50:44What do you say?
50:46I say, leave Cindy and marry me.
50:57Take that as a no.
50:59You really love her, don't you?
51:02It's too bad.
51:08Because I really didn't want to do this.
51:11You're not really leaving me a choice.
51:13Put the lighter down.
51:14Let's just talk.
51:16If I can't have you,
51:18she certainly can't.
51:20Vanessa, no, no, no, no, no!
51:32Jackson's still in there!
51:37Go, go, go!
51:47Jackson!
51:48You're alive!
51:53Jackson!
51:55Jackson!
51:56Somebody help, please!
51:57Let go of me, you pig!
52:02Jackson is mine!
52:03I feel your name is mine!
52:05Vanessa Reed, you are under arrest!
52:07Please.
52:09Jackson, please.
52:10Please hold on.
52:11Don't leave me.
52:12Jackson.
52:13Jackson.
52:13Jackson.
52:16Jackson!
52:16Jackson!
52:16Jackson!
52:16Jackson!
52:16Jackson!
52:17Jackson!
52:17Jackson!
52:18Jackson!
52:18Jackson!
52:19No, please.
52:21No, please.
52:24Jackson!
52:25Jackson!
52:25Jackson!
52:36Sandy.
52:37Hi, Jackson.
52:39Hi, I'm here.
52:40No, no.
52:42Easy, easy.
52:43I don't want to push anything.
52:45Here, can I get some water?
52:47Yeah.
52:47Please.
52:47Yeah, sure, Dad.
52:51Here you go.
52:52Don't worry.
52:53We'll take good care of you.
53:00Come here.
53:02You're the best kid a dad could ask for.
53:05I'll go get your medicine.
53:09He's really stepping up.
53:11That's amazing.
53:14This kid that I've messed so much with his life already.
53:17I know.
53:19Cindy.
53:25Mom?
53:27That must be your son.
53:29He's so beautiful.
53:31What are you doing here?
53:33How do you know about Cindy's son?
53:35Because I paid her to leave you so she wouldn't trap you with a baby.
53:44I told her I'd ruin her life if she didn't leave you.
53:48Well, is that what you're doing here now?
53:50To threaten her again?
53:52No.
53:52Is that what...
53:54Mom?
53:55Get out.
53:56No.
53:56Mom?
53:57Get the fuck out of here!
53:58Go!
53:59Jackson.
53:59I'm sorry, son.
54:01I'm so sorry.
54:03Cindy.
54:05Why...
54:05Why didn't you just tell me?
54:08I thought you said no more lies.
54:09I'm a mother now.
54:16And even though I would never make the choices that you did, I can understand them.
54:26And I forgive you.
54:27You're a strong woman, Cindy.
54:31And an excellent mother.
54:36I'll give you two soon, space.
54:44Jackson, I'm so sorry for everything.
54:47When Cindy broke up with you, I saw how heartbroken you were, and I immediately knew I'd made a terrible mistake.
54:53But I knew you'd never stop fighting for her.
54:58I truly want nothing but the best for both of you.
55:07Dad, who's the crying lady?
55:11It's your grandma.
55:12Why don't you give her a hug?
55:16Hi, Grandma.
55:17I'm Noah.
55:18Hi, Noah.
55:21Don't worry.
55:22It's okay.
55:23Yes.
55:26It is now.
55:42Wow.
55:44Hey.
55:46Where is the uniform?
55:47I got it.
55:48You got the ring?
55:50I got it.
55:51All right.
55:52Speaking of, how's Cindy getting here?
55:54Only the best is bringing her.
55:55Mom, can you please go to Dad's photo shoot?
55:57Please, please, please, please?
56:01Fine.
56:02Because you asked us all the time.
56:04It's good.
56:04It's good.
56:13What is going on?
56:14Surprise!
56:14I want to make up for all the lost time.
56:27Give Noah a home and a wedding.
56:32I'm going through.
56:35Cindy White, will you marry me?
56:38Yes.
56:40Yes.
56:42A million times, yes.
56:44I want everything that I've done.
56:49Woo!
56:49Woo!
56:50Woo!
56:50Woo!
56:50Woo!
56:51Woo!
56:52Woo!

56:54Yes.
56:55And I want you.
56:56Yes.
56:57Yes.
56:57Yes.
56:57Yes.
56:57Yes.
56:58Yes.
