02:12Well, I'm not leaving you, Sidney.
02:15Look, I know it's only been one summer,

02:55No!
02:56Oh!
02:57No!
02:59No!
03:00No!
03:03No!
03:04I can't be pregnant.
03:05I have to tell Jackson.
03:06I have to tell Jackson.
03:16Lorraine.
03:19You shameless tramp.
03:22Are you trying to trap my son with a baby?
03:24No.
03:25No, that's not what that...
03:26Jackson has a bright future ahead of him,
03:28and I will not let you ruin it.
03:31Get rid of the baby
03:32and disappear from his life.
03:34For I swear, I will destroy
03:36everything you have.
03:39But I love him!
03:42We love each other!
03:46If you really love him,
03:48then walk away.
03:50My son deserves better.
04:00Alright, this is it.
04:02I'm gonna put a ring on your finger before I leave.
04:05If he knew about the baby,
04:06he'd stay.
04:07For me.
04:08For us.
04:22Whoa!
04:23Uh, hey!
04:30What are you doing in here?
04:34I'm here to break up with you.
04:40Wait, what?
04:43Break up?
04:43What the fuck?
04:56Is this a fucking joke?
04:58I 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,
05:05and...
05:06his 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 someday.
05:14But you've always been supportive of my dream.
05:19Goodbye, Jackson.
05:20And the very first moments of falling
05:27Stirring all the heart
05:30I felt the love I gave no longer
05:33Starts to bloom with you in mind
05:37When I learn to find with you
05:40That was hilarious!
05:41Did you see his face?
05:42It was priceless!
05:43Gary!
05:45Go home!
05:46We're not getting back together!
05:48What?
05:49Well, first you begged me to come out here
05:51and now you pushed me away?
05:53You psycho bitch!
05:59I'm sorry, Jackson.
06:03I'm so sorry.
06:09Captain Jackson,
06:10you have proven yourself to be a hero once again.
06:13But reports are saying
06:15that you've stayed inside the blaze
06:1630 minutes longer than protocol allows.
06:19What was your reason for staying inside?
06:21Well, I was just doing my job.
06:25Captain Jackson,
06:26I just wanted to say
06:28on behalf of my father's hospital,
06:30thank you for saving our lives.
06:34You are truly a hero.
06:36It's no problem.
06:37You must be tired after all that.
06:39you could use a little rest.
06:40So why don't we go back
06:41to my VIP lounge
06:42and share with me
06:43and have a lot of fun.
06:45Thanks, but
06:46no thanks.
06:47I actually have to check on a patient.
06:48Thank you for your time.
06:49No problem.
06:50I'll come with you.
06:54Time to get back to work,
06:55Cindy White.
06:56Box ticking.
06:57Okay, Vanessa.
06:58Okay, Vanessa.
07:14Jackson?
07:16Excuse me?
07:17That is Captain Jackson Carter to you.
07:20He's L.A.'s hottest,
07:24bravest,
07:25most badass firefighter.
07:27And he just saved your worthless life.
07:29Vanessa, please.
07:30That's not necessary.
07:32Where's his thank you?
07:35You know, he could have died
07:37pulling your ass out of that fire.
07:39And if something had happened to him,
07:42I would have made you pay for it.
07:43Trust me.
07:44I wasn't in the fire by choice, Vanessa.
07:48Don't talk back to me, Cindy.
07:51I'm your boss.
07:53My dad owns this hospital.
07:55I'm by the way.
07:57I am so sick of your temper.
08:01You know what?
08:02You're fired.
08:07You know what?
08:09You're fired.
08:11What?
08:12Come on, Vanessa.
08:13I need this job.
08:14Well, maybe you should have thought about that
08:17before you talked back to the boss's daughter.
08:20Come on.
08:22Let's go somewhere more right now.
08:23You know,
08:25now that I think about it,
08:26there is a new opening
08:26for a paramedic in my department.
08:29I would be so honored.
08:31Someone just became available.
08:33Hey, Cindy.
08:35How would you like to join my team?
08:37What?
08:39A paramedic job?
08:41What's the catch, Jackson?
08:42What game is this?
08:43Thank you so much,
08:49but I can't accept.
08:51Sorry.
08:53I would be so...
08:55Mommy!
08:55Mommy!
08:56I'm sorry.
08:58She just ran past me.
08:59That's okay.
09:01Great.
09:03Just what I need.
09:04More homebodies.
09:06All right, Emma,
09:06I'm all right.
09:07Thank you for saving my mom.
09:09I'm just doing my job.
09:15You have a son?
09:17Yeah, this is Noah.
09:20Hi, my name is Noah.
09:21Nice to meet you.
09:23Hey, nice to meet you.
09:26I'm Jackson.
09:28Wait.
09:30You're my dad!
09:32Noah!
09:33You didn't tell him that?
09:36That's not funny.
09:38I'm so sorry.
09:40Um, we have to go get ice cream.
09:42Yeah, ice cream.
09:42Right?
09:43Let's go.
09:43I love ice cream.
09:50Noah, why did you pull Jackson down?
09:52He looks like my dad for my dream.
09:53So, after she broke up with me,
10:02she had a kid with Gary?
10:19So, your love life is a disaster.
10:21Tell me something I don't know.
10:25But, but, but, but, but,
10:27your soulmate's here.
10:29And true love follows.
10:31Is there anything in here but money?
10:34Let's not pay in the rent, honey.
10:36Jackson's job would.
10:39That's not gonna happen.
10:41Okay, well, argue with the cards, honey.
10:43You're fated to take this gig.
10:45Marry the love of your life
10:47and live happily ever after.
10:49Okay, see, this is why
10:51I don't do it terribly.
10:53My life has never been this neat.
10:55Okay, well, good thing
10:56you don't have to believe in it
10:58for it to be true.
11:01Jackson loves you
11:02and I don't need the cards to know that.
11:05Okay.
11:06We're done.
11:08Conversation.
11:09Run all you want.
11:10Fake comes for us all.
11:12Good night.
11:13Mark my words, honey.
11:15You two are not over.
11:19What do you want, Vanessa?
11:32Just making sure you're not stealing anything.
11:35Strip searcher.
11:37What?
11:38No, are you kidding?
11:40What is this?
11:41Are we in high school?
11:43Wait, what?
11:45But stripper talk.
11:46She might be hiding medicine under us.
11:47Vanessa!
11:48What is this?
11:52Let's go.
11:53No.
11:54No, wait!
11:55No!
11:55Enjoy the chill time, bitch.
11:58Come on!
12:00Fuck!
12:01Vanessa!
12:02Vanessa!
12:02Vanessa!
12:03Thanks for implementing
12:08the new safety measures, Captain Carter.
12:10For the last time,
12:11call me Jackson.
12:13I'm just doing my job.
12:14You're too modest, Jackson.
12:18Help!
12:20Somebody help, please!
12:23Sandin?
12:24Hello?
12:26Sandin!
12:27Jackson!
12:28Hey!
12:28Hey!
12:29Can you help me?
12:32All right, stand back.
12:33Okay.
12:39Oh, my God.
12:40Wait, turn around!
12:41Okay.
12:43Here.
12:43Jackson.
12:45I'm not looking.
12:46Wait, the door!
12:47I'm not looking!
12:47Oh, shit!
12:50Fuck.
12:54Wait, the door!
12:54I'm not looking!
12:55Oh, shit!
12:57Fuck.
12:58Great.
13:00Now we're both stuck in here.
13:09Damn.
13:10Is he sexier than I remember?
13:12You know, it's rude to stare.
13:16Jerk.
13:19So, when do you have a kid?
13:21When did you come back?
13:23Captain Jackson Carter?
13:25Where are you here?
13:27Where are you here?
13:27What do you want from me?
13:29Well, I always said I'd come back.
13:32That was years ago.
13:34You were kids.
13:35Does it make it not true?
13:36What about you?
13:36What about you?
13:40No ring?
13:42No Gary inside.
13:44I guess that happily ever after didn't work out.
13:46Hey.
13:46You just got fired.
13:47Just take my job.
13:49Okay?
13:49It's a good offer.
13:50No.
13:51I don't need your offer.
13:53I don't need you to rescue me.
13:54Again.
13:55What are you so afraid of?
13:57Think about your son.
14:00He's got a point.
14:01I do need a job.
14:02And money.
14:06Fine.
14:07I'll take your offer.
14:09And I'll be the best paramedic there is on the team.
14:12It'll be your ass getting saved by mine.
14:13I saw her sneak into storage.
14:16She's up to something.
14:21I saw her sneak into the storage room.
14:24She's up to something.
14:25Probably stealing meds or case files or worse.
14:29I'm starting to think she's the one who started to fire.
14:32You're finished, thief.
14:37What?
14:38What is it?
14:41Jackson.
14:43But I only left her in here.
14:46Oh.
14:47Thanks for the confession.
14:48You bitch.
14:49Enough.
14:50Stop embarrassing yourself, Vanessa.
14:53I am so sorry for my daughter's behavior.
14:56This white, Mr. Carter.
14:57You're apologizing to her?
14:59Shut up.
15:00It's a problem.
15:08Well.
15:12For saving me.
15:13Again.
15:14Well, I wouldn't call getting us both trapped in that room once you could rescue.
15:19But I'll tell you good.
15:21Excited to see you at work?
15:23What?
15:24Yes.
15:30Hello?
15:31Hello, Miss White.
15:32It's Principal Coleman.
15:33Your son got into a fight.
15:35You need to come.
15:36Now.
15:36What?
15:41Noah.
15:42Are you hurt?
15:43Let me see.
15:44Is he hurt?
15:45He's the one who attacked my son.
15:48Oh.
15:48I'm sorry.
15:50If you're sending the doctor, I can cover it.
15:53I don't need your money.
15:54I have money.
15:55What I want is this animal, or what you call a son, expelled.
16:04What?
16:06You're not going to do that, right?
16:08Well, per school policy, serious violence does warrant expulsion.
16:12But he started it.
16:14He called me a bastard.
16:16He said, he called my mom, uh, a slut.
16:22My mom says that kids like you don't know your dad's because your mom's total sluts.
16:28Shut up!
16:28Hey!
16:29Don't.
16:30You're legal, you're married!
16:34Shut up!
16:35Hey!
16:36Don't.
16:37You're legal, you're married!
16:43Jackson!
16:44You okay, kiddo?
16:45Get going!
16:47How dare you!
16:47Mr. Carter, hero of the city.
16:51You know the White family?
16:53I do.
16:55President Collins, I didn't know you allowed such a...
16:58such bad decorum.
17:01Excuse me, you little son of a...
17:03Enough!
17:05Mr. Carter, I apologize for this incident, and you, you, you apologize to Noah.
17:12No way!
17:14This bastard attacked my son.
17:16This man has saved our school and countless others, and it's a price we could never hope
17:20to repay.
17:23Actually, there is a way to pay it back.
17:25Really?
17:27Well, just tell me how.
17:28Expel that boy.
17:37Expel that boy.
17:38All right?
17:40Wait, wait, wait, wait.
17:42No, we don't want to expel him.
17:44We don't?
17:45We don't?
17:45We don't.
17:46No, we don't.
17:47No.
17:48Both boys were in the wrong.
17:50Noah says it!
17:51You said extremely rude things to Noah and I, and you need to apologize.
17:57And Noah, you can't hit someone no matter what they say.
18:00Okay, you need to say sorry.
18:02My son will not be apologizing for it.
18:05I just saved your son from expulsion.
18:08I'm sorry.
18:09I'm sorry.
18:10Good.
18:11Son?
18:12So you're sorry.
18:13What?
18:14I'm sorry.
18:16What was that?
18:18I'm sorry.
18:19Good.
18:20Noah?
18:21I'm sorry, I guess.
18:23I think you owe Ms. White an apology, too.
18:28I am sorry, Ms. White.
18:30See, your mom's a smart cookie.
18:32I shouldn't have tried to expel that boy the same way you shouldn't have tried to fight
18:36him.
18:37Next time, just come to us or the principal, okay?
18:40I'm sorry.
18:41I'm sorry, I guess.
18:42I think you owe Ms. White an apology, too.
18:44I'm sorry, Ms. White.
18:45I'm sorry, Ms. White.
18:46Come on.
18:47Come on.
18:48See?
18:49Okay.
18:50Next time, just come to us or the principal, okay?
18:53Okay.
18:54Okay.
18:56Nice.
18:59Why does Captain Carter know the whites?
19:01Is...
19:02Is he Noah's dad?
19:08How does Captain Carter know the white family?
19:10Was...
19:11Is he Noah's dad?
19:13Come on.
19:14No, come on.
19:15Uh, Principal Con, this isn't what it looks like.
19:18Oh, no, no.
19:19Do not worry, Ms. White.
19:20Mum's the worst.
19:21You won't get a peep out of me.
19:23But there's nothing to...
19:24Oh, no.
19:25Do not fret.
19:26We're going to take very special care of Noah.
19:29Both for you and for...
19:34Just for you.
19:38So, what were you and Principal Collins whispering about?
19:41Nothing.
19:43Nothing.
19:45Yeah?
19:46It seemed like something.
19:48No, nothing.
19:50For you to know about.
19:51Ah.
19:52Excellent qualifier.
19:54Hey, you wanna race?
19:55Yes.
19:56Yeah?
19:57Alright, go.
19:58Come on.
19:59Come on, I'm beating you.
20:00Come on, hurry up!
20:02Maybe I should tell him he's the father.
20:04He's so good with him.
20:06Go!
20:07Go!
20:08Go!
20:09Go!
20:10Go!
20:11Go!
20:12Go!
20:13Hi.
20:14Hey.
20:15Can we take a selfie?
20:16I love your fire safety TikTok videos.
20:17And I adore your calendars.
20:20No, those are bad.
20:21Yeah, that's good.
20:22That's good.
20:23That's good.
20:25Nice!
20:26Jackson, could I have your phone number?
20:28If I'm ever feeling lightheaded in the bath,
20:31could I call you for a personal rescue?
20:33Ah, she's bad.
20:34Hey!
20:35Before you play with your little fan club,
20:37can you make sure my kid's okay?
20:40Uh, he was just right here.
20:42Dad, he almost just ran in the middle of the street.
20:45Nope.
20:46I can't tell him he's the father.
20:47I can't flip Noah's world upside down like that.
20:55Hey!
20:56You never answered my question.
20:57Oh, uh, in case of emergency, just call 9-1-1.
21:00Okay.
21:01Cindy, hold on.
21:02Get up.
21:03Sorry about that.
21:04That, uh, never happens.
21:05What now?
21:06Superstar hero?
21:08Well, you know, with your new job,
21:11it actually comes with a accompanying house.
21:14Okay.
21:15No thanks.
21:16It's free.
21:20Well, then I guess we can move in.
21:24Great!
21:25Awesome!
21:26Okay.
21:27What's, uh, where you at now?
21:28I can help you move.
21:29That's not necessary.
21:3047 Pie Lane apartment, 4B.
21:32Boom!
21:33See?
21:34That's why you're the man of the house.
21:36You little conspirator.
21:37Whoa!
21:38My new room is so huge.
21:39Can I go unpack my toys and go play?
21:40Absolutely.
21:41You got it?
21:42Well, now that we're all alone.
21:43You got it?
21:44Well, now that we're all alone.
21:45You got it?
21:47You got it?
21:48You little weniger camera too.
21:49Là?
21:50Ross, you got it?
21:51Where's my Rutgers?
21:52Now you're real momento rage?
21:53Yeah, down to the next and over the last one.
21:54Well, it's for dinner.
21:55What are you working here?
22:00Sorry.
22:01Well, now that we're all alone, it's time to get sweaty.
22:19I'm packing, Cindy.
22:22Find out where to go.
22:25That was definitely on purpose.
22:29Oh, hey.
22:33Let me...
22:38Oh!
22:40I got it.
22:41Stop, stop, stop!
22:52What?
22:54Come here.
22:55Is she finally giving me a shot?
22:59What was that for?
23:14When I was trying to kiss you.
23:16What?
23:17Why?
23:18You said come here.
23:19There's something on your face.
23:24Sorry, I'm not swooning over you like all the other moms.
23:28Hmm.
23:29Okay.
23:30Well, I guess I'll get going.
23:34But be sure to say hi to your neighbor.
23:36I heard he's a great, handsome, charming, athletic, fun, smart, intelligent guy.
23:45Wait, you're my neighbor?
23:46I guess so.
23:47Huh.
23:48How convenient.
23:50I guess so.
23:51Huh.
23:52How convenient.
23:53Why the long face, Jackson?
23:55The one that got away is now in reaching distance.
24:10Yeah.
24:11Except she's got a kid.
24:12Like Gary.
24:13Huh.
24:14The trust fund catch you left before?
24:15Yeah.
24:16Except she's broke.
24:17Yeah, right.
24:18He's loaded.
24:19I know, it doesn't make any sense.
24:20Whatever.
24:21I don't even care.
24:22You know what?
24:23I'm over her, actually.
24:24I'm, I'm Jackson Carter.
24:25All right, town hero.
24:26I can get whoever I want.
24:27Yeah.
24:28Right.
24:29Keep telling yourself that.
24:30I'm sorry.
24:31Okay.
24:32Yeah.
24:33The one that got away is now in reaching distance.
24:35Yeah, except she's got a kid.
24:37Like Gary.
24:38Huh.
24:39Did I trust fund catch you left before?
24:40Yeah.
24:41Except she's broke.
24:42Yeah.
24:43Right.
24:44He's loaded.
24:45I know, it doesn't make any sense, but...
24:47Whatever, I don't even care.
24:48You're right.
24:49Keep telling yourself that.
24:53Hello, boys.
24:54Party has arrived.
24:56Vanessa, what are you doing here?
24:59You're acting all mopey, so I thought some company would do you some good.
25:02Oh, okay.
25:03Welcome in.
25:05Hello, hello.
25:09Because I'm sure that I'm much more fun than whoever she is anyway.
25:13Mm-hmm.
25:14Let's get this party started.
25:18Cindy!
25:23Cindy!
25:24Okay.
25:25Okay.
25:26Cindy!
25:27Hi!
25:28Would you like to come in?
25:32Um, I just wanted to say thank you.
25:35And I have.
25:36Bye!
25:37Would you like to come in?
25:39That's really sweet of you.
25:41We'd love to have you.
25:43Might play a game.
25:44It'll be fun.
25:45See?
25:46It's simple.
25:47Even Cindy's brat could do it.
25:48Get up.
25:49Let's play.
25:50Hey.
25:51You actually learned switching with Cindy?
25:55Oh!
25:56Oh!
25:57Oh!
25:58What the fuck?
25:59Oops!
26:00I guess I've had a little too much.
26:01Vanessa!
26:02I guess I've had a little too much.
26:03Vanessa!
26:04What's your problem?
26:05Oh!
26:06Don't yell at me, Jackson!
26:07I was having a little fun.
26:08Is that too much for Cindy?
26:09I'm so sorry.
26:10Here.
26:11Here.
26:12I'm...
26:13I'm so sorry.
26:14Here.
26:15What the fuck?
26:27Oops.
26:28I guess I've had a little too much to do.
26:29Vanessa, what's your problem?
26:31Don't yell at me, Jackson.
26:33I was having a little fun.
26:34I've had too much for Cindy.
26:36I'm so sorry.
26:37Here.
26:40This is it.
26:42Nice.
26:45What are you two looking at?
26:52Hey.
26:54Don't worry.
26:54I'm leaving.
26:55I just don't want Noah to see me like this.
26:57No, no, I'm sorry.
26:58I don't know what that was.
26:59Are you okay?
27:02What do you think?
27:06Sorry.
27:07For that.
27:09And for crashing your little party.
27:11Looked like you and your fangirls were having fun without me.
27:15Wait, hold on.
27:17Do I sense a hint of jealousy?
27:19Do you like me?
27:24Don't flatter yourself.
27:25I'd never like an arrogant ass like you.
27:28Oh, so you'd like a rich prick like Gary.
27:32Gary, go home.
27:34We're not getting back together.
27:35You psycho bitch.
27:38What are you talking about?
27:40Oh, stop, Cindy.
27:41Don't play dumb.
27:43All right.
27:43You dumped me for him eight years ago and he's known his dad, right?
27:50You have no idea what you're talking about.
27:55Okay, then tell me.
27:57Cindy, just tell me then.
27:58Get rid of the baby and disappear from his life.
28:04I swear I will destroy everything you have.
28:08It's better he thinks Noah is Gary's kid than the truth.
28:12It was over a decade ago.
28:14Just let it go, Jackson.
28:15Maybe you want to forget about it because you don't want to come to terms that you traded
28:26love, real love, for money.
28:30You know, we could have had something together.
28:33We could have a future together.
28:34Jackson, please.
28:37You know what?
28:38Fine.
28:39Here.
28:40I don't want you to catch a cold.
28:41Okay.
28:45What's that?
28:52Yeah, the ring.
28:55I've had it since the beginning.
28:59Maybe this is stupid, but it's like my good luck charm.
29:04Every time I have it with me, I can always make it through.
29:09Jackson, stop.
29:13Okay?
29:13Thank you for saving me.
29:17For the job, for the house, the rescue, but let's just leave this, us, in the past.
29:25We're calling Sam.
29:26It's best that we keep it professional.
29:34That's what you want.
29:37Thanks.
29:38Wow.
29:57Look.
29:58It's our new paramedic.
30:01Can I help you guys?
30:02Yeah.
30:03I actually, um, I hurt myself on the last job.
30:05I was wondering if you could take a look at it.
30:07Oh.
30:09You pulled your coin?
30:11Every night before bed.
30:13We were actually hoping that you might help us out with that.
30:16Yeah.
30:16Or is that just exclusively for Captain Carter?
30:21Do you guys have any real injury?
30:23Yeah, yeah, yeah.
30:23Sorry.
30:26You broke my heart?
30:28Wait, wait.
30:29You broke my heart, too.
30:30All right, leave my station before I give you something to cry about.
30:34Ooh.
30:36Look, I don't think you know what you're dealing with, little girl.
30:40What'd I do?
30:46What'd I do?
30:46Jackson!
30:52We were just looking for you right now.
30:53We couldn't find you, so we came over here.
30:57Yo, we were just joking.
31:01We were just hazing the new guy, okay?
31:03It was all in good fun.
31:05What do you think, Cindy?
31:06Is it all in good fun?
31:09Huh?
31:10You heard her.
31:11Hey, hey, hey.
31:11Please, please, please, please.
31:12Flip, flip.
31:13We're sorry, boss.
31:14All right?
31:15We're sorry, we're sorry, Cindy.
31:18All right, go.
31:23Hey, you okay?
31:24I'm sorry about that.
31:26Yeah, I'm fine.
31:28Thanks to you.
31:29Just doing my job.
31:31Well, your men make it impossible for me to do mine, so I'm going to quit.
31:36What?
31:40What?
31:40No, no, no, you can't quit.
31:41You just started.
31:42If I wanted to be mocked every day, then I would just beg Vanessa for my drawback.
31:47Look, this will never happen again.
31:49It's a one-time occurrence, I promise.
31:51If it ever happens again...
31:52That was a pretty gnarly punch.
32:00Oh, I see.
32:02It's a pretty gnarly swelling.
32:05There's nothing.
32:07Yeah.
32:07Whatever.
32:11Look at you saving me for once.
32:14Just doing my job.
32:16You know, you're different now.
32:21Then when we were younger, you're stronger and tougher.
32:27Well, being a single mother will do that to anyone.
32:31You should try it.
32:34You've been alone this whole time?
32:35Just make sure that your hand stays dry for about three hours.
32:45I gotta go get organized.
32:47I guess I'm staying.
32:55So Gary just abandoned her?
32:58I need to know more.
33:00If Cindy won't tell me, I'll go to Gary.
33:02Gary.
33:03Gary.
33:03Gary.
33:05I can't believe the dweeb I used to know has become the hometown hero.
33:12Man, it's been too long.
33:14How you been?
33:15What brings you in today?
33:17You have no idea what you're talking about.
33:22Just got some questions.
33:24About Cindy.
33:26A paprod?
33:27Oh, she's got issues, man.
33:30Yeah, she begged me to come back to her.
33:32And then, after she dumped you,
33:34she told me that she didn't even want to be with me.
33:39What about Noah?
33:41Who the fuck is Noah?
33:43Come on, man.
33:44It's been years.
33:45Let's talk about some of that matters.
33:47Forget that psycho bitch.
33:48Like, I got something real for you.
33:50Oh, fuck.
33:51It's shelter again.
33:52Yeah, you're loco, man.
33:58You two deserve each other.
34:00If Gary's not the father, then who is?
34:04What the hell's going on, Cindy?
34:05Mom, this is disgusting.
34:15Noah!
34:16Hey, Cindy.
34:17I need to...
34:17Save us!
34:20What's up, little man?
34:21Mom can't cook to save her life.
34:23Excuse me.
34:25Yeah, he's not lying.
34:27Fine.
34:28Last time I'd do anything nice for you people.
34:30Okay, tell me.
34:32How do you like your burger cooked?
34:34Medium rare.
34:36No way.
34:37Me too.
34:39You know what that makes us?
34:40What?
34:41Pace buds.
34:44Oh, my gosh.
34:45How do you guys share with all those similarities?
34:46You two are not related.
34:55Good?
34:55You all right?
34:56Mm-hmm.
34:57Yeah.
34:58Wrong pipe.
34:58Listen, can you, um, watch Noah for a second while we, we, clean up the plates?
35:06There's only two plates, so...
35:08Amanda, call me clean up the plates.
35:10Okay.
35:12I'll help you clean up the plates.
35:16I, uh...
35:18Actually, hey, I'm gonna go talk to your mom real quick, but you stay here.
35:21Okay?
35:22Okay.
35:22Okay, go down the floor for me.
35:24All right, I'll be right back.
35:24Okay.
35:28What are you doing?
35:40It's already as difficult as it is.
35:43Jackson isn't stupid.
35:44He's gonna find out eventually that he's not the father, and then what are you gonna do about it?
35:48Hey, what are you guys talking about?
35:49What did you hear?
35:53Nothing.
35:55You mind if I talk to Cindy for a second, Owen?
35:58Yeah, I have to use the bathroom anyway.
36:04Uh, you and Noah are getting along great.
36:06Oh, yeah, he's a great kid.
36:08Yeah.
36:09You know, I'd love to help out more, you know, if you'd let me.
36:12Take him to school, pick him up from soccer practice, whatever you need.

52:00Please hold on, don't leave me!
52:03Lexi!
52:05I can't get rid of you!
52:07No!
52:09Jackson!
52:09No, please!
52:12Please!
52:14Jackson!
52:15Sandy!
52:27Sandy!
52:27Hi, Jackson.
52:29Hi, I'm here.
52:31No, no, go!
52:32Easy, easy.
52:33I don't want to push anything.
52:35Here, can I get some water?
52:37Yeah.
52:37Please?
52:37Yeah, sure, Dad.
52:38Here you go.
52:42Don't worry.
52:43We'll take good care of you.
52:46Come here.
52:52You're the best kid a dad could ask for.
52:55I'll go get your medicine.
52:59He's really stepping up.
53:01That's amazing.
53:04This kid will have messed so much with his life already.
53:06I know.
53:09Cindy.
53:15Mom?
53:16That must be your son.
53:19He's so beautiful.
53:21What are you doing here?
53:23How do you know about Cindy's son?
53:25Because I paid her to leave you, so she wouldn't trap you with a baby.
53:34I told her I'd ruin her life if she didn't leave you.
53:38Well, is that what you're doing here now?
53:40To threaten her again?
53:42Is that what...
53:43Mom?
53:45Get out.
53:46No.
53:46Mom?
53:47Get the fuck out of here!
53:48Go!
53:49Jackson.
53:49I'm sorry, son.
53:51I'm so sorry.
53:53Cindy.
53:54Why?
53:56Why didn't you just tell me?
53:58I thought you said no more lies.
54:02I'm a mother now.
54:06And even though I would never make the choices that you did,
54:11I can understand them.
54:15And I forgive you.
54:17You're a strong woman, Cindy.
54:21And an excellent mother.
54:26I'll give it to you some space.
54:34Jackson, I'm so sorry for everything.
54:36When Cindy broke up with you, I saw how heartbroken you were,
54:40and I immediately knew I'd made a terrible mistake.
54:44But I knew you'd never stop fighting for her.
54:48I truly want nothing but the best for both of you.
54:51Dad, who's the crying lady?
55:00It's your grandma.
55:02Why don't you give her a hug?
55:06Hi, Grandma.
55:07I'm Noah.
55:08Hi, Noah.
55:11Don't worry.
55:12It's okay.
55:15Yes.
55:15It is now.
55:21Wow.
55:33Hey.
55:35Where is the uniform?
55:37I got it.
55:38You got the ring?
55:40I got it.
55:40All right.
55:41Speaking of, how's Cindy getting here?
55:43Only the best is bringing her.
55:45Mom, can you please go to Dad's photo shoot?
55:47Please, please, please, please?
55:50Fine.
55:51See you, I'm so sorry.
56:01What is going on?
56:03Surprise!
56:06What?
56:07What is all of this?
56:13I want to make up for all the lost time.
56:15Give Noah a home and a wedding where you're going through.
56:24Say your wife, will you marry me?
56:28Yes!
56:31Yes.
56:32A million times, yes.
56:33Everything that I do.
56:36Promise me.
56:56Yes.
56:57I'll do it.
56:58Wait.
56:59The door.
57:00I know.
57:02No, I'm trying to do it naturally.
57:06Ow!
57:07Ow.
57:08Just doing my job?
57:09Oh, sorry.
57:10One more time.
57:12If it ever happens again.
57:17Jeez.
57:21Shh.
57:32Ah, good job.
57:38Good job.
