00:00Only one nurse remaining, Sidney White.
00:02Help!
00:08Jackson?
00:09Am I dreaming?
00:15Wait for me.
00:16I'll come back for you.
00:17If you really love him, then walk away.
00:21My son deserves better.
00:23I even left you in your back with this fucking asshole!
00:25Hey, watch your mouth!
00:26Goodbye, Jackson.
00:27Wait, you're my dad!
00:30No!
00:31Enjoy the chill time, bitch.
00:33Come on!
00:34Why does everyone call me a bastard?
00:36Why do I have a dad?
00:38It was over a decade ago.
00:40Just let it go, Jackson.
00:44Ow!
00:45Fuck!
00:46It's Walter again!
00:48Somebody help, please!
00:50I'm sorry!
00:52I'm sorry!
00:59What's that?
01:00What's that?
01:10Someone called us!
01:11I'm sorry!
01:12Can I go for it?
01:13What's your emergency?
01:14Everybody out this way!
01:15Please do it!
01:16No, no, no!
01:18No, no, no!
01:19Any more patients?
01:20I'm here for you!
01:22Let's go, let's go, let's go!
01:23Move it, move it, move it!
01:24Move it, move it, move it!
01:25Help!
01:26Help!

01:48Move it, move it, move it!
01:49Help!
01:58Ka!
01:59Only one nurse remaining!
02:00Sydney, white!
02:03Jackson, am I dreaming?
02:23It's been nearly a decade.
02:33Come on, Jackson, let's go, let's go, you got me, come on, let's go, yes, 22-13, new record!
03:03You did amazing.
03:13You're for sure going to ace that firefighter aptitude test.
03:16Why are you leaving me for New York?
03:18Why is summer already over?
03:21Well, I'm not leaving you, Cindy.
03:24Look, I know it's only been one summer, but I'm for sure that you're the love of my life.
03:33I'm glad I stole you away from that loser, Gary.
03:37Yeah, now I only have eyes for you.
03:41Seriously, wait for me.
03:43I'll come back for you.
03:47I love you, Cindy White.
03:50I love you, T.I. Jackson, car.
03:58Oh.
03:59One more thing?
04:03You ass!
04:07I can't be pregnant.
04:13I have to tell Jackson.
04:24Lorraine.
04:27You shamelessly tramp.
04:30Are you trying to trap my son with a baby?
04:32No, no, that's not what that is.
04:34Jackson has a bright future ahead of him, and I will not let you ruin it.
04:39Get rid of the baby and disappear from his life, or I swear I will destroy everything you have.
04:47But I love him!
04:50We love each other!
04:54If you really love him, then walk away.
04:58Hey, my son deserves better.
05:08All right, this is it.
05:10I'm going to put a ring on your finger before I leave.
05:13If he knew about the baby, he'd stay.
05:15For me.
05:16For us.
05:17For me.
05:30Whoa!
05:36Hey!
05:38What are you doing in here?
05:42I'm here to break up with you.
05:43Wait, what?
05:51Break up, why?
06:02What the fuck?
06:04Is this a fucking joke?
06:06Why are you even left you in your back with this fucking asshole?
06:08Hey, watch your mouth!
06:09Yes, Gary and I are back together.
06:11He's thinking about it, and his family money can give me the life I've always dreamed of.
06:18And I don't want to worry about losing my partner in a fire someday.
06:22But you've always been supportive of my dream.
06:27Goodbye, Jackson.
06:41That was hilarious.
06:49Did you see his face was priceless?
06:51Gary, go home.
06:55We're not getting back together.
06:56What?
06:57Well, first you begged me to come out here, and now you pushed me away?
07:01You psycho bitch!
07:02I'm sorry, Jackson.
07:09I'm so sorry.
07:17Captain Jackson, you have proven yourself to be a hero once again.
07:21But reports are saying that you stayed inside the blaze 30 minutes longer than protocol allows.
07:27What was your reason for staying inside?
07:29Well, I was just doing my job.
07:32Well, it's a wonderful thing.
07:33Captain Jackson, I just wanted to say, on behalf of my father's hospital, thank you for saving our lives.
07:41You are truly a hero.
07:44It's no problem.
07:45You must be tired after all that.
07:47You can use a little rest.
07:48Why don't we go back to my VIP lounge?
07:50We're sharing.
07:52Have a lot of fun.
07:53Thanks, but no thanks.
07:55I actually have to check on a patient.
07:56Thank you for your time.
07:57No problem.
07:58I'll come with you.
08:02Time to get back to work, Cindy White.
08:04Box ticking.
08:06Okay, Vanessa.
08:11Jackson, excuse me?
08:26That is Captain Jackson Carter to you.
08:29He's LA's hottest, bravest, most badass firefighter.
08:35And he just saved your worthless life.
08:37Vanessa, please.
08:38That's not necessary.
08:39Where's his thank you?
08:43You know, he could have died pulling your ass out of that fire.
08:47And if something had happened to him, I would have made you pay for it.
08:51Trust me.
08:52I wasn't in the fire by choice, Vanessa.
08:56Don't talk back to me, Cindy.
08:59I'm your boss.
09:01My dad owns this hospital.
09:03And by the way, I am so sick of your temper.
09:08You know what?
09:10You're fired.
09:15You know what?
09:17You're fired.
09:19What?
09:20Come on, Vanessa.
09:21I need this job.
09:23Well, maybe you should have thought about that before you talked back to the boss's daughter.
09:28Come on.
09:30Let's go somewhere.
09:31You know, now that I think about it, there is a new opening for a paramedic in my department.
09:37I would be so honored.
09:38Someone just became available.
09:41Hey, Cindy.
09:43How would you like to join my team?
09:45What?
09:47A paramedic job?
09:49What's the catch, Jackson?
09:50What game is this?
09:51Thank you so much, but I can't accept.
09:59Sorry.
10:01I would be so...
10:02Follow me!
10:03Follow me!
10:04Hi, Cindy.
10:05Sorry.
10:06She just ran past me.
10:07That's okay.
10:09Great.
10:10Just what I need.
10:12More nobodies.
10:13All right, Emma, I'm all set.
10:15Thank you for saving my mom.
10:16I'm just doing my job.
10:23You have a son?
10:24Uh, yeah.
10:26This is Noah.
10:28Hi, my name is Noah.
10:29Nice to meet you.
10:31Hey.
10:32Nice to meet you.
10:34I'm Jackson.
10:37Wait.
10:38You're my dad!
10:40Noah?
10:41You didn't tell him?
10:44That's not funny.
10:45I'm so sorry.
10:47Um, we have to go get ice cream.
10:50Yeah, ice cream.
10:50Right?
10:50Let's go.
10:51I love ice cream.
10:57Noah, why did you pull Jackson down?
10:59He looks like my dad for my dream.
11:08So after she broke up with me, she had a kid with Gary?
11:15So your love life is a disaster.
11:31Tell me something I don't know.
11:33But, but, but, but, but, your soulmate's here.
11:37And true love follows.
11:38Is there anything in here but money?
11:42Let's not pay in the rent, honey.
11:44Jackson's job would.
11:47That's not gonna happen.
11:49Okay, well, argue with the cards, honey.
11:51You're fated to take this gig.
11:53Marry the love of your life and live happily ever after.
11:56Okay, see, this is why I don't live terribly.
12:01My life has never been this neat.
12:03Okay, well, good thing you don't have to believe in it for it to be true.
12:08Jackson loves you and I don't need the cards to know that.
12:13Okay.
12:14We're done.
12:15Conversation.
12:17Run all you want.
12:18Bank comes for us all.
12:20Good night.
12:21Mark my words, honey.
12:22You two are not over.
12:26What do you want, Vanessa?
12:40Just making sure you're not stealing anything.
12:43Strip searcher.
12:45What?
12:46No, are you kidding?
12:47What is this?
12:48Are we in high school?
12:51Wait, what?
12:53Hey, strip her top.
12:54She might be having medicine under it.
12:55Vanessa!
12:55What is this?
12:59Let's go.
13:01No.
13:01No, wait!
13:03No!
13:03Enjoy the chill time, bitch.
13:06Come on!
13:08Fuck!
13:09Vanessa!
13:11Fuck.
13:15Thanks for implementing the new safety measures, Captain Carter.
13:18For the last time.
13:19Call me Jackson.
13:20Just doing my job.
13:22You're too modest, Jackson.
13:23Help.
13:27Somebody help, please.
13:30Send it!
13:32Hello?
13:34Send it!
13:35Jackson!
13:36Hey!
13:36Hey, can you help me?
13:40All right, stand back.
13:41Okay.
13:46Oh, my God.
13:47Wait, turn around!
13:49Okay.
13:50Here.
13:52Jackson.
13:53I'm not looking.
13:54Wait, the door!
13:55I'm not looking!
13:55Oh, shit!
13:57Fuck.
14:01Wait, the door!
14:02I'm not looking!
14:03Oh, shit!
14:05Fuck.
14:05I'm not looking at you.
14:06Great.
14:08Now we're both stuck in here.
14:17Damn.
14:18Is he sexier than I remember?
14:22You know it's rude to stare.
14:24Jerk.
14:24So, when did you have a kid?
14:29When did you come back, Captain Jackson Carter?
14:34Why are you here?
14:35What do you want from me?
14:37Well, I always said I'd come back.
14:40That was years ago.
14:41We were kids.
14:43Doesn't make it not true.
14:47What about you?
14:49No ring.
14:50No Gary inside.
14:51I guess that happily ever after didn't work out.
14:53Hey.
14:54You just got fired.
14:55Just take my job.
14:57Okay?
14:57It's a good offer.
14:58No.
14:59I don't need your offer.
15:00I don't need you to rescue me.
15:02Again.
15:03What are you so afraid of?
15:05Think about your son.
15:07He's got a point.
15:09I do need a job.
15:10And money.
15:14Fine.
15:15I'll take your offer.
15:16And I'll be the best paramedic there is on the team.
15:19It'll be your ass getting saved by mine.
15:22I saw her sneak into storage.
15:24She's up to something.
15:29I saw her sneak into the storage room.
15:31She's up to something.
15:32Probably stealing meds or case violence or worse.
15:36I'm starting to think she's the one who started to fire.
15:40You're finished, thief.
15:44What?
15:45What is it?
15:48Jackson.
15:51But I only locked her in here.
15:54Oh.
15:55Thanks for the confession.
15:56You bitch.
15:57Enough.
15:58Stop embarrassing yourself, Vanessa.

16:31What happened?
16:32as a rolling fiend
16:34trapped inside his feet
16:36Hello?
16:38Hello, Miss White. It's Principal Coleman.
16:40Your son got into a fight.
16:42You need to come. Now.
16:44What?
16:48Noah!
16:50Are you hurt? Let me see.
16:52Is he hurt?
16:54He's the one who attacked my son!
16:56Oh, I'm sorry.
16:58If you're sending the doctor, I can
17:00cover it. I don't need your money.
17:02I have money.
17:04What I want is this animal
17:06what you call a son
17:08expelled.
17:12What?
17:14You're not gonna do that, right?
17:16Well, per school policy, serious
17:18violence does warrant expulsion.
17:20But he started it!
17:22He called me a bastard.
17:24He said he called my mom
17:26a slut.
17:28My mom says
17:30that kids like you don't know your dads
17:32because your moms are total
17:34sluts.
17:36SHUT UP! HEY! DON'T!
17:38YOU LEGAL GENERATE!
17:42SHUT UP! HEY! DON'T!
17:44YOU LEGAL GENERATE!
17:50Jackson!
17:52You okay, kidda?
17:54How dare you!
17:56Mr. Carter!
17:57Hero of the city!
17:58You know the White family?
18:00I do.
18:02President Collins,
18:04I didn't know you allowed
18:06such bad decorum.
18:08Excuse me, you little son of a-
18:10ENOUGH!
18:12Mr. Carter,
18:14I apologize for this incident,
18:16and you, you, you,
18:18apologize to Noah!
18:20No way!
18:22This bastard attacked my son!
18:24This man has saved our school
18:26and countless others,
18:28and it's a price we could never hope to repay.
18:30Actually, there is a way to pay it back.
18:32Really?
18:34Well, just tell me how.
18:38Expel that boy.
18:40Alright?
18:42Wait, wait, wait, wait!
18:44No.
18:46We don't want to expel him.
18:47We don't?
18:48We don't?
18:49We don't?
18:50We don't!
18:51We don't!
18:52We don't!
18:53We don't!
18:54We don't!
18:55No.
18:56Both boys were in the wrong.
18:57NOAH!
18:58NOAH!
18:59NOAH!
19:00You said extremely rude things to Noah and I,
19:02and you need to apologize.
19:04And Noah,
19:05you can't hit someone no matter what they say.
19:08Okay, okay?
19:09You need to say sorry.
19:10My son will not be apologizing, Bert!
19:13I just saved your son from expulsion.
19:18Son,
19:19so you're sorry.
19:20What?
19:23I'm sorry.
19:25What was that?
19:26I'm sorry.
19:28Good.
19:29Noah?
19:31I'm sorry, I guess.
19:33I think you owe Miss White an apology, too.
19:36I am sorry, Miss White.
19:49See?
19:50Your mom's a smart cookie.
19:52I shouldn't have tried to expel that boy the same way you shouldn't have tried to fight him.
19:56Next time, just come to us or the principal.
19:59Okay?
20:00Okay.
20:01Nice.
20:06Why does Captain Carter know the Whites?
20:08Is...
20:09Is he Noah's dad?
20:15How does Captain Carter know the White family?
20:17Was...
20:18Is he Noah's dad?
20:21No, correct.
20:22Uh, principal Colin,
20:24this isn't what it looks like.
20:25Oh, no, no.
20:26Do not worry, Miss White.
20:27Mom's the worst.
20:28You won't get a peep out of me.
20:30But there's nothing to...
20:32Oh, no.
20:33Do not fret.
20:34We're gonna take very special care of Noah.
20:36Both for you and for...
20:41Just for you.
20:42So...
20:43What were you and Principal Collins whispering about?
20:45No.
20:46Nothing.
20:47Yeah?
20:48It seemed like something.
20:49No, nothing.
20:50For you to know about.
20:51Ah, excellent qualifier.
20:52Hey, you wanna race?
20:53Yes.
20:54Yeah?
20:55Alright, go.
20:56Come on.
20:57Come on, I'm beating you.
20:58Come on, hurry up.
20:59Maybe I should tell him you're so bothered.
21:01He's so good with him.
21:18Go, go, go, go, go go!
21:20Hi.
21:21Hey.
21:22Can we take a selfie?
21:23I love your fire safety TikTok videos.
21:24And I adore your calendars.
21:26No, those are bad.
21:27That's good.
21:28Look at that.
21:29Look at that.
21:30Nice!
21:32Jackson, could I have your phone number?
21:36If I'm ever feeling lightheaded in the bath,
21:38could I call you for a personal rescue?
21:40Ah, she's back.
21:42Hey! Before you play with your little fan club,
21:44can you make sure my kid's okay?
21:46He was just right here.
21:48Daddy, almost just ran in the middle of the street.
21:50Nope, I can't tell him he's a phone number.
21:52I can't flip Noah's world upside down like that.
21:54Here.
22:00Hey! You never answered my question!
22:04Oh, uh, in case of emergency,
22:06just call 911. Okay.
22:08Cindy, hold on! Wait up!
22:10Sorry about that. That, uh, never happens.
22:12What now, superstar hero?
22:14Well, you know, with your new job,
22:18it actually comes with a company house.
22:20I don't care. No thanks.
22:22It's free.
22:24Well, then I'd...
22:28guess we can move in.
22:31Great! Awesome! Okay.
22:33What's, uh, where you at now?
22:35I can help you move.
22:36That's not necessary.
22:3747 Pine Lane apartment, 4B!
22:39Boom! See?
22:41That's why you're the man of the house.
22:43You little conspirator.
22:45That hurts.
22:59Whoa!
23:01My new room is so huge!
23:03Can I go unpack my toys and go play?
23:05Absolutely.
23:07You got it?
23:08Well, now that we're all alone...
23:25It's time to get sweaty.
23:26Excuse me.
23:27Unpack him, Cindy.
23:29Wind under the gutter.
23:31That was definitely on purpose.
23:34Oh, hey.
23:37Let me...
23:45Oh!
23:46I got it!
23:47I got it!
23:48Die! Die! Die! Die!
23:59What?
24:00Come here.
24:01Is she finally giving me a shot?
24:17Ow!
24:20What was that for?
24:22When I was trying to kiss you.
24:24What?
24:25Why?
24:26You said come here!
24:27There's something on your face.
24:32Sorry, I'm not swooning over you like all the other moms.
24:37Okay.
24:39Well, I guess I'll get going.
24:42But be sure to say hi to your neighbor.
24:44I heard he's a great, handsome, charming, athletic, fun, smart, intelligent guy.
24:56Wait, you're my neighbor?
25:05Guess that.
25:08Huh.
25:10How convenient.
25:11Why the long face, Jackson?
25:27The one that got away is now in reaching distance.
25:30Yeah, except she's got a kid.
25:32Like Gary.
25:33Well, the trust fund catch you left before.
25:37Yeah.
25:39Except she's broke.
25:41Yeah, right.
25:42He's loaded.
25:43I don't know, it doesn't make any sense.
25:45Whatever.
25:46I don't even care.
25:47You know what?
25:48I'm over her, actually.
25:50I'm Jackson Carter.
25:52Town hero.
25:53I can get whoever I want.
25:55Right.
25:56You're telling yourself that.
25:58Hello, boys.
26:01Party has arrived.
26:03Vanessa, what are you doing here?
26:06You're acting all mopey, so I thought some company would do you some good.
26:09Oh, okay.
26:10I'll come in.
26:12Hello, hello.
26:16Because I'm sure that I'm much more confident than whoever she is, anyway.
26:19Mm-hmm.
26:21Let's get this party started.
26:27Cindy!
26:30Cindy!
26:33Okay.
26:34Okay.
26:36Cindy!
26:37Hi!
26:39Would you like to come in?
26:41Um, I just wanted to say thank you.
26:43And I have.
26:45Bye!
26:47Would you like to come in?
26:48That's really sweet of you.
26:50We'd love to have you.
26:52We might play a game.
26:54It'll be fun.
26:57See?
26:58It's simple.
26:59Even Cindy's brat could do it.
27:00Get up.

31:09Yeah, I actually, um, hurt myself on the last job.
31:12I was wondering if you could take a look at it.
31:14Oh, you pulled your groin?
31:17Every night before bed.
31:19We were actually hoping that you might help us out with that.
31:22Yeah, or is that just exclusively for Captain Carter?
31:27Do you guys have any real injury?
31:29Yeah, yeah, yeah, sorry.
31:31You broke my heart?
31:34Wait, wait, you broke my heart, too.
31:37Alright, leave my station before I give you something to cry about.
31:41Ooh.
31:43Look, I don't think you know what you're dealing with, little girl.
31:46What'd I do?
31:52What'd I do?
31:58Jackson, we were just looking for you right now.
32:00We couldn't find you, so we came over here.
32:04Yo, we were just joking.
32:08We were just chasing the new guy, okay?
32:10It was all in good fun.
32:11What do you think, Cindy?
32:13Is it all in good fun?
32:15Huh?
32:16You heard her.
32:17Hey, hey, hey, please, please, please, please, flip, flip.
32:20We're sorry, boss.
32:21We're sorry, we're sorry.
32:22We're sorry, Sydney.

32:30Hey, you okay?
32:31I'm sorry about that.
32:33Yeah, I'm fine.
32:34Thanks to you.
32:36Just doing my job.
32:38Well, you're a man making it impossible for me to do mine, so I'm gonna quit.
32:43What?
32:46What?
32:47No, no, no, you can't quit.
32:48You just started.
32:50If I wanted to be mocked every day, then I would just beg Vanessa for my job back.
32:54Look, this will never happen again.
32:55It's a one-time occurrence, I promise.
32:58If it ever happens again...
33:04That was a pretty gnarly punch.
33:07Let me see.
33:09It's a pretty gnarly swelling.
33:12It was nothing.
33:14Yeah, whatever.
33:18Look at you saving me for once.
33:21Just doing my job.
33:25You know, you're different now.
33:28Then when we were younger, you're stronger and tougher.
33:34Well, being a single mother will do that to anyone.
33:38You should do it.
33:41You've been alone this whole time?
33:48Just make sure that your hand stays dry for about three hours.
33:51I gotta go get organized.
33:53I guess I'm staying.
34:02So Gary just abandoned her?
34:05I need to know more.
34:07If Cindy won't tell me, I'll go to Gary.
34:09I can't believe the dweeb I used to know has become the hometown hero.
34:19Man, it's been too long.
34:21How you been? What brings you in today?
34:22You have no idea what you're talking about.
34:25Just got some questions.
34:30About Cindy.
34:32Oh, that brought...
34:34Oh, she's got issues, man.
34:36Yeah, she begged me to come back to her.
34:39And then after she dumped you, she told me that she didn't even want to be with me.
34:44What about Noah?
34:47Who the fuck is Noah?
34:49Come on, man. It's been years.
34:52Let's talk about something that matters.
34:53Forget that psycho bitch.
34:54Like, I got something real for you.
34:57Oh, fuck! It's Salter again!
35:03Yo, you're loco, man.
35:05You two deserve each other.
35:07If Gary's not the father, then who is?
35:10What the hell's going on, Cindy?
35:12Mom, this is disgusting.
35:13Noah!
35:14Hey, uh, Cindy. I need to...
35:16Save us!
35:18What's up, little man?
35:19Mom can't cook to save her life.
35:21Oh!
35:22Excuse me!
35:23Yeah, he's not lying.
35:25Fine.
35:27Last time I'd do anything nice for you people.
35:29Okay, tell me.
35:30How do you like your burger cooked?
35:32Medium rare.
35:34Oh, no.
35:35No, no.
35:36No, no.
35:37No, no.
35:38No, no.
35:39No, no.
35:40No, no.
35:41Medium rare?
35:43No way.
35:44Me too.
35:46You know what that makes us?
35:47What?
35:48Taste buds.
35:50Oh, my gosh.
35:51How do you guys share with all those similarities?
35:53You two are not related.
36:02Good?
36:03Mm-hmm.
36:04Yeah.
36:05Wrong pipe.
36:07Listen, can you, um, watch Noah for a second
36:10while we, we clean up the plates?
36:12There's only two plates, so...
36:14Amanda?
36:15Help me clean up the plates.
36:17Okay.
36:18I'll help you clean up the plates.
36:23I, uh...
36:24Actually, hey, I'm gonna go talk to your mom real quick,
36:26but you stay here.
36:27Okay?
36:28Okay.
36:29Okay, go down the floor for me.
36:30Alright, I'll be right back.
36:31I'll be right back.
36:45What are you doing?
36:47It's already as difficult as is.
36:49Jackson isn't stupid.
36:50He's gonna find out eventually that he's not the father,
36:52and then what are you gonna do about it?
36:54Hey, what are you guys talking about?
36:57What did you hear?
36:59Nothing.
37:01You mind if I talk to Cindy for a second alone?
37:04Uh, yeah.
37:05I have to use the bathroom anyway.
37:10Uh, you and Noah are getting along great.
37:12Oh, yeah.
37:13He's a great kid.
37:14Yeah.
37:15You know, I'd love to help out more.
37:17You know, if you'd let me.
37:18Take him to school, pick him up from soccer practice,
37:20whatever you need.
37:25Ice cream!
37:28You wanna babysit?
37:30You're a fire captain, right?
37:31That's a little below your pay grade.
37:33No, no, no.
37:35I just wanna be part of your guys' lives.
37:41You know, and...
37:43Noah!
37:44Where's Noah?
37:45Shit!
37:50He lost a lot of blood.
37:57Is anyone a negative for transfusion?
38:00I am.
38:01But I can't.
38:02I'm his mother.
38:03Anyone else?
38:04I'm a universal donor.
38:05Perfect, come with me.
38:06No, no, no, no.
38:07There has to be someone else.
38:08Cindy, stop.
38:09There's no time.
38:10No, it can't be you!
38:11Why?
38:12Why won't you let me help him?
38:13No!
38:14Okay, I don't need your help.
38:15Leave.
38:21I'm sorry.
38:27Cindy, I know you're scared,
38:29but the longer you keep this a secret,
38:31the more pain it's gonna cause for the both of you.
38:34I just don't know what to do right now.
38:35I know.
38:38Goodness!
38:39We've located Thelnaplasma.
38:41I just need your signature, okay?
38:42Right here.
38:43You know, it's just...
38:50Every time I feel like we're finally getting closer,
38:53she shuts me out.
38:54I don't get it.
38:55I mean, she's been alone for so long,
38:57and you guys didn't really end up well last time.
38:59What if she's just scared?
39:01What?
39:02And I'm not?
39:03Well, she's the one that dumped me.
39:04Yeah, I know.
39:05I know.
39:06How about she wouldn't even let me donate blood to Noah?
39:08Luckily, we found a plasma donor,
39:10but what if we didn't?
39:11Why won't she let me help?
39:13Wait.
39:14They didn't let you donate?
39:16No!
39:17That's crazy, right?
39:18Wait, didn't you say Gary wasn't the father?
39:21Yeah.
39:22And?
39:23Direct relatives can't give blood to other direct relatives, so...
39:28Yo!
39:29What if you're Noah's dad?
39:36You're my dad!
39:38Piss, buds.
39:39Who the fuck is Noah?
39:41Who the fuck is Noah?
39:54Amanda's right.
39:55I can't keep hiding this.
39:56Jackson deserves to know.
39:58And Noah does too.
40:03How's he doing?
40:04Good.
40:07Hey.
40:08I need to talk.
40:11I talked to Gary.
40:13What?
40:14You had no right to do that.
40:16Well, you wouldn't tell me anything.
40:17I needed answers.
40:20Cindy?
40:23Is Noah my son?
40:24I mean, that's the only thing I can think of why you wouldn't let me donate blood.
40:35I mean, when I first met him we had an instant connection.
40:39And 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.
40:48Why won't you tell me?
40:50Is Noah my son?
40:53Cindy, just tell me, is Noah my son?
40:55Yes!
40:59Noah is your son.
41:10Why wouldn't you just say that?
41:12How could you hide this from me for eight years?
41:15What could I have possibly done to you that was so bad?
41:18Did you know?
41:20When you broke up with me?
41:21Well, get rid of the baby and disappear from his life.
41:26I swear I will destroy everything you have.
41:31But I love him!
41:34We love each other!
41:38If you really love him, then walk away.
41:42My son deserves better.
41:44Jason, I was so young and I was scared.
41:53And you had all these big dreams that you had to go do.
41:57The stupid firefighter program? You thought I cared more about that than him, than you?
42:02No! No!
42:04I knew that you didn't!
42:06That's why I left, because I knew that you wouldn't.
42:09But, Jason...
42:11You didn't fight me on it.
42:15You never...
42:17You never asked me to stay.
42:18Well, because you said you didn't love me anymore!
42:21What?!
42:22I never stopped loving you!
42:25Jackson, for every second of every day for the last eight years, I've been waiting for you.
42:32Hoping that you'd call, or you'd text...
42:37Something!
42:38Anything!
42:42I've dreamt about telling you about no one.
42:45I wasn't strong enough.
42:48I just...
42:50I wish I had been brave and I didn't let your mother control...
42:53I wish for...
43:11Looks like the cat's finally out the bag!
43:14Um, it's just...
43:16You were just, uh...
43:17I thought I said no more lies.
43:21There's no more.
43:23There's no more.
43:26Hey, you know what?
43:28Now his birthday's tomorrow.
43:31You know what he's always wanted?
43:35Go ahead.
43:38Dad?
43:40Bingo.
43:44I know just the right thing.
43:53What kind of cake would the birthday wear like?
43:59Honestly, I have no idea.
44:04New to this whole dad thing, huh?
44:06Yeah.
44:07Just found out 20 minutes ago.
44:08He doesn't even know.
44:10Oh, wow.
44:11Okay.
44:12Well, let's just start with his name then.
44:14Noah.
44:15I do know that.
44:16Gotcha.
44:18Thanks.
44:23Noah is Jackson's son?
44:28I am going to mess you up, Cindy White.
44:33Wait, sir!
44:35I need an address!
44:37I'll tell you.
44:40Don't worry.
44:41I'm a friend of the family.
44:50Cake for Jackson?
44:51That's me.
44:52Thank you, sir.
44:53No problem.
44:55Are you nervous?
45:01Is it that obvious?
45:03Don't be.
45:04You'll be great.
45:05Don't worry.
45:06Once you're out of here, I'm going to throw you the biggest party ever.
45:08Who says we have to wait?
45:12Surprise!
45:13Happy birthday!
45:14You remembered!
45:15How could I forget the coolest kid in town's birthday?
45:19There you go.
45:21Can I open it, Mom?
45:22Yes.
45:23I don't know what happened there.
45:26I'm so sorry.
45:28It must have been some kind of mistake.
45:29Don't worry about that.
45:30How does everyone call me a bastard?
45:31Why don't I have a dad?
45:33No, he's not.
45:34I don't.
45:35I don't know what happened there.
45:37I'm so sorry.
45:38It must have been some kind of a mistake.
45:39Don't worry about that.
45:40Why does everyone call me a bastard?
45:41Why do I have a dad?
45:43No, he's not.
45:45I just want to figure out what happened.
45:48I just want to get out of here.
45:49No, you do have a dad.
45:54I do?
46:01I'm your father.
46:05Is that true?
46:09To the best that I could have possibly imagined.
46:13But where have you been all my life?
46:16Did you not want to be my dad?
46:19Of course I wanted to be your dad.
46:22I was just scared.
46:26Why?
46:28You know, every day I put my life out on the line fighting fires.
46:33I was just afraid that maybe one day I wouldn't be able to come home.
46:37But thanks to your mom,
46:41I'm finally brave enough to be here for you.
46:46Can you ever forgive me?
46:48Of course.
46:49Dad.
46:58Yeah?
46:59Are you excited?
47:00Yeah.
47:01Noah!
47:02You're alive!
47:03Yes!
47:04And I had the dad!
47:05Whoa!
47:06Is that him?
47:08That's me.
47:10You're the firefighter from the news!
47:12Hey!
47:13Nice to meet you.
47:14I'm Noah's dad.
47:16Can we take a selfie?
47:18Um, yes.
47:19We can.
47:21Here we go.
47:24Beautiful.
47:25Thank you!
47:26Mm-hmm.
47:27Your dad is so cool!
47:28I know!
47:29We need some firefighting stories, he told me!
47:32He's totally showing.
47:34Yeah?
47:39What a great kid.
47:41Oh, who is it?
47:43Harry!
47:44At the station.
47:45Let me take this.
47:46Hey!
47:49You ready?
47:50Okay, great.
47:51I'll be there as soon as I can.
47:52I thought we were done with Elias?
48:01Jackson has a son?
48:03Out of all people, I'm Cindy.
48:05I know.
48:06But I talked about a lesson.
48:09Broke bastard on his birthday cake.
48:10Genius.
48:14Show me that.
48:15That's a personal order?
48:17Did I ask?
48:23It's stunning.
48:27No, it's engraved.
48:29Says it's for...
48:33Cindy White?
48:35Whose order is this?
48:36Jackson Carter.
48:38THE Jackson Carter.
48:40The fire captain?
48:44She's baby trapping him and he's falling for it.
48:48Not on my watch.
48:59It's ready?
49:00Okay, great.
49:01I'll be there as soon as I can.
49:07Hey, baby.
49:09What's on your mind?
49:12Um...
49:14The call you got earlier.
49:17I kind of overheard it.
49:21Thought there was gonna be no secrets, remember?
49:22We may have noticed I'm talking about my necklace.
49:23Yeah.
49:24That seems, um...
49:25Strange.
49:26It's because I took it to a jeweler and...
49:28La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la.
49:29Not listening, not listening.
49:30You asked.
49:31I...
49:32Sorry, whatever you're saying, I can't hear you.
49:33La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la.
49:34I should have never doubted the tarot.
49:35I'm sorry.
49:36Okay, I've accepted my fate.
49:37Can you please just tell me if you said propose?
49:38Man, please.
49:39I mean, I'm sorry.
49:40I'm sorry.
49:41I'm sorry.
49:42I'm sorry.
49:43I'm sorry.
49:44I'm sorry.
49:45Whatever you're saying, I can't hear you.
49:46La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la.
49:49I should have never doubted the tarot.
49:50I'm sorry.
49:51Okay, I've accepted my fate.
49:52Can you please just tell me if you said propose?
49:53Man, please.
49:54I'm sorry.
49:55I'm sorry.
49:56Okay, I've accepted my fate.
49:57Can you please just tell me if you said propose?
50:00Man, please.
50:01I mean...
50:02Sandy White?
50:03Yes?
50:04Can I help you?
50:05Yeah, I was actually looking for a gas station at the...
50:07I was actually looking for a gas station at the...
50:09I was actually looking for a gas station at the...
50:12I was actually looking for a gas station at the...
50:14Oh!
50:15Ah!
50:16Jenny, are you still there?
50:17Ah!
50:18No!
50:19No!
50:20No!
50:21No!
50:22No!
50:23No!
50:24No!
50:25No!
50:26No!
50:27No!
50:28No!
50:29No!
50:30No!
50:31No!
50:32Hey!
50:33That's it!
50:34These guys just kidnapped sending it and put it in a van!
50:36What?
50:37Yeah?
50:38I have closed security footage.
50:39I'll call 911!
50:40Yeah, yeah.
50:41Let's go.
50:46Buckle up.
50:47You got our GPS location?
50:48Oh, shit.
50:51Stay here!
51:02Not so sassy now, are you?
51:05Brenda, stop!
51:09Don't do something to your undergrad.
51:12Trust me, I'm not.
51:15Don't do this. Let's just talk.
51:18About what?
51:19About you marrying this slut?
51:22Or about you crawling back to your family to get her location?
51:26I thought that you were never gonna go back to them, remember?
51:32I know you're hurt, Vanessa. It's between me and you, okay?
51:36Just leave Cindy out of this. This is a big misunderstanding, okay?
51:40What do you say?
51:42I say...
51:45Leave Cindy and marry me.
51:49I take that as a no.
51:55You really love her, don't you?
52:00That's too bad.
52:03Because I really didn't want to do this, but you're not really leaving me a choice.
52:09Put the lighter down. Let's just talk.
52:11If I can't ask you, she certainly can't.
52:16So that's another-
52:17No, no, no, no, no!
52:31Yo, Jax, it's still in there! Go, go, go!
52:33Go! Go, go, go!
52:44Jackson!
52:45You're alive!
52:49Jackson!
52:51Jackson!
52:52Somebody help, please!
52:55Let go of me, you pig!
52:58Jackson, it's mine!
52:59I can't hear me, it's mine!
53:01Vanessa Reed, you're under arrest!
53:05Jackson, please.
53:07Please hold on, don't leave me.
53:09Lexi, Lexi.
53:11I think we're gonna be there.
53:14No!
53:15Jackson!
53:16No!
53:18Please!
53:20Jackson!
53:21Jackson!
53:32Cindy!
53:33Hi, Jackson.
53:34Hi, I'm here.
53:36No, no, no.
53:38Easy, easy.
53:39I don't want to push anything.
53:41Here, can I get some water?
53:42Yeah.
53:43Please.
53:44Yeah, sure, Dad.
53:47Here you go.
53:48Don't worry.
53:49We'll take good care of you.
53:56Come here.
53:58You're the best kid a dad could ask for.
54:01I'll go get your medicine.
54:05He's really stepping up.
54:07That's amazing.
54:09I can't do that.
54:10He missed so much of his life already.
54:13I know.
54:15Cindy.
54:18Mom?
54:19That must be your son.
54:24He's so beautiful.
54:26What are you doing here?
54:28How do you know about Cindy's son?
54:31Because I paid her to leave you.
54:35So she wouldn't trap you with a baby.
54:38I told her I'd ruin her life if she didn't leave you.
54:43What?
54:45Is that what you're doing here now?
54:46To threaten her again?
54:47No.
54:48Is that what...
54:50Mom?
54:51Get out.
54:52No.
54:53Mom?
54:54Get the fuck out of here!
54:55Go!
54:56Jackson.
54:57I'm so sorry.
54:59Cindy.
55:01Why...
55:02Why didn't you just tell me?
55:04I thought you said no more lies.
55:08I'm a mother now.
55:12And even though I would never make the choices that you did,
55:17I can understand them.
55:22And I forgive you.
55:24You're a strong woman, Cindy.
55:27And an excellent mother.
55:32I'll give you to you some space.
55:34Jackson, I'm so sorry for everything.
55:38When Cindy broke up with you,
55:39I saw how heartbroken you were,
55:41and I immediately knew I'd made a terrible mistake.
55:45But I knew you'd never stop fighting for her.
55:49I truly want nothing but the best for both of you.
55:53Dad, who's there?
55:55I'm so sorry for everything.
55:57I'm so sorry for everything.
55:59When Cindy broke up with you,
56:00I saw how heartbroken you were,
56:01and I immediately knew I'd made a terrible mistake.
56:03Dad, who's the crying lady?
56:06It's your grandma.
56:08Why don't you give her a hug?
56:11Hi, Grandma.
56:13I'm Noah.
56:14Hi, Noah.
56:17Don't worry. It's okay.
56:20Yes.
56:22It is now.
56:33It's okay.
56:34It's okay.
56:38Wow.
56:39Hey.
56:41Where is the uniform?
56:42I got it.
56:43You got the ring?
56:45I got it.
56:46All right.
56:48Speaking of, how's Cindy getting here?
56:49Only the best is bringing her.
56:50Mom, could you please go to Dad's photo shoot?
56:52Please, please, please, please?
56:56Fine.
56:57What is going on?
56:58Surprise!
56:59Oh, no.
57:00What?
57:01What is all of this?
57:02I want to make up for all the lost time.
57:03Give Noah a home and a wedding with a more shirt.
57:09Cindy White,
57:10it's enough to let the light in.
57:11It's enough to let the light in.
57:12No.
57:13It's enough to let the light in.
57:15It's enough.
57:16It's enough to let the light in.
57:17It's enough to let the light in.
57:18It's enough to let the light in.
57:20I want to make up for all the lost time.
57:21It's more than an hour to let the light in.
57:22Give Noah a home and a wedding with a more shirt.
57:26The way you're making me feel it's divine.
57:30Cindy White, will you marry me?
57:33Yes!
57:35Yes.
57:36A million times, yes.
57:38You want everything that's on me?
57:42Thank you so much for being here.
58:12Ow!
58:13Ow!
58:14Just doing my job.
58:15Oh, f**k. Sorry. One more time.
58:17If it ever happens again...
58:23Jeez.
58:24Oh, f**k.
58:26For the rest of my life.
58:29For the rest of my life.
58:33For the rest of my life.
58:37For the rest of my life.
58:41Ah, good job!
58:43Can you go again?
58:44Yeah.
