00:00Someone called out!
00:30Let's go, let's go, let's go, move it, move it, move it!
00:44Ow!
00:50Cat!
00:51Only one nurse remaining.
00:52Sidney White.
01:00Jackson, am I dreaming?
01:15It's been nearly a decade.
01:18Jesus!
01:30Come on, come on Jackson, let's go, let's go, come on, you got me, come on, let's go, yes, 22, 13, new record!
02:00You did amazing.
02:04You're for sure going to ace that firefighter aptitude test.
02:08Why are you leaving me for New York?
02:10Why is summer already over?
02:12Well, I'm not leaving you, Sidney.
02:16Look, I know it's only been one summer, but I'm for sure that you're the love of my life.
02:25I'm glad I stole you away from that loser, Gary.
02:29Yeah, now I only have eyes for you.
02:33Seriously, wait for you.
02:34I'll come back for you.
02:39I love you, Sidney White.
02:42I love you, T.O. Jackson, Carl.
02:50Oh.
02:51One more thing?
02:52No!
02:57You ass!
02:59I can't be pregnant.
03:05I have to tell Jackson.
03:16Lorraine.
03:17You shameless tramp.
03:22Are you trying to trap my son with a baby?
03:24No!
03:25No, that's not what that is.
03:26Jackson has a bright future ahead of him, and I will not let you ruin it.
03:31Get rid of the baby and disappear from his life.
03:34I swear I will destroy everything you have.
03:38But I love him!
03:39But I love him!
03:42We love each other!
03:46If you really love him, then walk away.
03:50My son deserves better.
03:52All right, this is it.
04:02I'm going to put a ring on your finger before I leave.
04:05If he knew about the baby, he'd stay.
04:07For me.
04:08For us.
04:09Pooh!
04:28Uh, hey!
04:30What are you doing in here?
04:31I'm here to break up with you.
04:40Wait, what?
04:42Break up? Why?
04:54What the fuck?
04:56Is this a fucking joke?
04:58Why are you even left getting your back with this fucking asshole?
05:00Hey, watch your mouth.
05:01Yes, Gary and I are back together.
05:04I was thinking about it and his family money can give me the life I've always dreamed of.
05:10And I don't want to worry about losing my partner in a fire or something.
05:14But you've always been supportive of my dream.
05:19Goodbye, Jackson.
05:20That was hilarious. Did you see his face priceless?
05:43Gary, go home.
05:47We're not getting back together.
05:48What?
05:49Well, first you begged me to come out here and now you pushed me away?
05:53You psycho bitch.
05:54I'm sorry, Jackson.
06:02I'm so sorry.
06:04I'm so sorry.
06:04Captain Jackson, you have proven yourself to be a hero once again.
06:13But reports are saying that you stayed inside the blaze 30 minutes longer than protocol allows.
06:19What was your reason for staying inside?
06:20Well, I'm just doing my job.
06:25Captain Jackson, I just wanted to say on behalf of my father's hospital, thank you for saving our lives.
06:34You are truly a hero.
06:35It's no problem.
06:37You must be tired after all that.
06:39You can use a little rest.
06:40Why don't we go back to my VIP lounge and have a lot of fun.
06:45Thanks, but no 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, Cindy White.
06:56Box ticking.
06:58Okay, Vanessa.
06:58Jackson, excuse me?
07:18That is Captain Jackson Carter to you.
07:22He's LA's hottest, bravest, most 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 pulling your ass out of that fire.
07:39And if something had happened to him, I would have made you pay for it.
07:43Trust me.
07:45I 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 well aware.
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.
08:15Well, maybe you should have thought about that before you talked back to the boss's daughter.
08:20Come on.
08:21Let's go somewhere more right now.
08:23You know, now that I think about it, there is a new opening for a paramedic in my department.
08:29I would be so honored.
08:31Someone just became available.
08:33Cindy.
08:34How 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, but 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.
09:05All right.
09:06I'm on my phone.
09:07Thank you for saving my mom.
09:12Just doing my job.
09:15You have a son?
09:17Yeah.
09:18This is Noah.
09:20Hi.
09:20My name is Noah.
09:21Nice to meet you.
09:23Hey.
09:24Nice to meet you.
09:26I'm Jackson.
09:29Wait.
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.
09:41We have to go get ice cream.
09:42Yeah.
09:42Right?
09:43Let's go.
09:43I love ice cream.
09:50Noah, why did you call Jackson Jack?
09:52He looks like my dad for my dream.
10:00So after she broke up with me,
10:01she had a kid with Gary?
10:03She had a kid with Gary?
10:19So your love life is a disaster.
10:23Tell me something I don't know.
10:24But, but, but, but, but, your soulmate's here.
10:29And true love follows.
10:31Is there anything in here about money?
10:34Love's not paying 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 and live happily ever after.
10:49Okay, see, this is why I don't do it terribly.
10:53My life has never been this neat.
10:55Okay, well, good thing you don't have to believe in it for it to be true.
11:00Jackson loves you, and 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.
11:13Good night.
11:13Mark my words, honey.
11:15You two are not over.
11:16What 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?
11:44The stripper top.
11:46She might be hiding medicine under.
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!
12:07Thanks for implementing the 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.
12:38Oh, my God.
12:40Wait, turn around.
12:41Okay.
12:42Here.
12:44Jackson.
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.
12:59Now we're both stuck in here.
13:09Damn.
13:10Is he sexier than I remember?
13:14You know it's rude to stare.
13:16Jerk.
13:16So, when do you have a kid?
13:21When did you come back, Captain Jackson Carter?
13:26Why are you here?
13:28What 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?
13:39What about you?
13:41No 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?
13:58Think 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.
14:14I 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 fly her.
14:32You're finished.
14:33See?
14:37What?
14:38What is it?
14:41Jackson.
14:44But I only locked 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?
15:23Whatever.
15:23I see you as a rolling fee.
15:26I can't say to you.
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 get me to cover it.
15:53I don't need your money.
15:55I have money.
15:56What I want is this animal, 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 a...
16:19A slut.
16:22My mom says that kids like you don't know your dad's because your mom's total sluts.
16:28Shut up!
16:29Hey!
16:29Don't!
16:30You're neither of you!
16:30You're my favorite!
16:34Shut up!
16:35Hey!
16:36Don't!
16:36You're neither of you!
16:37You're my favorite!
16:38I'm sorry!
16:42Jackson!
16:44You okay, kidda?
16:45Let go of me!
16:47How dare you!
16:48Mr. Carter, hero of the city, you know the White family?
16:53I do.
16:55President Collins, I didn't know you allowed such 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.
17:30Expel that boy.
17:37Expel that boy.
17:39All right.
17:40Son, you are...
17:41Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
17:42No.
17:43We don't want to expel him.
17:44We don't?
17:45We don't?
17:45We don't.
17:46We don't.
17:47No.
17:48Both boys were in the wrong.
17:50Noah says it!
17:52You 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.
18:01Okay?
18:01You need to say sorry.
18:02My son will not be apologizing for it.
18:05I just...
18:06Saved your son from expulsion.
18:10Son?
18:12So you're sorry.
18:13What?
18:15I'm sorry.
18:17What was that?
18:19I'm sorry.
18:20Good.
18:22Noah?
18:23I'm sorry, I guess.
18:26I think you owe Miss White an apology, too.
18:29I'm sorry, Miss White.
18:42See?
18:43Your mom's a smart cookie.
18:45I shouldn't have tried to expel that boy the same way you shouldn't have tried to fight him.
18:49Next time, just come to us or the principal.
18:52Okay?
18:53Okay.
18:53Okay.
18:54Okay.
18:55Nice.
18:56Why does Captain Carter know the Whites?
19:01Is...
19:01Is he Noah's dad?
19:07How does Captain Carter know the White family?
19:10Is he Noah's dad?
19:13Okay.
19:15Uh, principal Colin, this isn't what it looks like.
19:18Oh, no, no.
19:18Do not worry, Miss White.
19:20Mom's the worst.
19:21You won't get a peep out of me.
19:23But there's nothing to...
19:25Oh, no, no.
19:25Do not fret.
19:27We're going to take very special care of Noah.
19:29Both for you and for...
19:33Just for you.
19:38So, what were you and principal Collins whispering about?
19:42Nothing.
19:44It seemed like something.
19:48No, nothing.
19:49What are you to know about?
19:51Ah, excellent qualifier.
19:54Hey, you want a race?
19:55Yes.
19:56Yes.
19:56Yeah? All right, go.
19:57Come on.
19:58Come on, I'm beating you.
19:59Come on, hurry up.
20:02Maybe I should tell him he's the father.
20:05He's so good with him.
20:10Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go.
20:11Can we take a selfie?
20:14I love your fire safety TikTok videos.
20:17And I adore your calendars.
20:19No, those are bad.
20:21Yeah, that's good.
20:22That's good.
20:24Nice.
20:25Jackson, can I have your phone number?
20:28If I'm ever feeling lightheaded in the bath, can I call you for a personal rescue?
20:33Ah, she's bad.
20:34Hey, before you play with your little fan club, can you make sure my kid's okay?
20:40He's just right here.
20:42Dad, he almost just ran in the middle of the street.
20:44Hey, nope, I can't tell him he's the father.
20:47I can't flip Noah's world upside down like that.
20:49Yeah.
20:55Hey, you never answered my question.
20:57Oh, in case of emergency, just call 911.
21:00Okay.
21:01Cindy, hold on.
21:02Wait up.
21:03Sorry about that.
21:04That never happens.
21:05What now, superstar hero?
21:07Well, you know, with your new job, it actually comes with a company in your house.
21:15I don't care.
21:15No thanks.
21:16It's free.
21:20Well, then I guess we can move in.
21:24Great!
21:25Awesome!
21:26Okay, where are you at now?
21:28I can help you move.
21:29That's not necessary.
21:3047 Pine Lane apartment, 4B!
21:32Boom!
21:33See?
21:34That's why you're the man of the house.
21:36You little conspirator.
21:44Whoa!
21:53My new room is so huge.
21:55Can I go unpack my toys and go play?
21:57Absolutely.
22:00You got it?
22:01Well, now that we're all alone...
22:11It's time to get sweaty.
22:19It's...
22:20Unpacking, Cindy.
22:22Find out of the car.
22:25That was definitely on purpose.
22:27Oh, my goodness.
22:30Oh, hey.
22:33Let me...
22:38Oh!
22:39I got it.
22:41Die!
22:41Die!
22:42Die!
22:42Die!
22:44Okay.
22:52What?
22:52Come here.
22:55Is she finally giving me a shot?
23:09Ow!
23:13What was that for?
23:15When I was trying to kiss you.
23:16What?
23:17Why?
23:18You said come here!
23:20There's something on your face.
23:22Sorry, I'm not swooning over you like all the other moms.
23:30Okay.
23:31Well, 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, pawn.
23:42Smart, intelligent guy.
23:45Really?
23:46Okay.
23:52Wait, you're my neighbor?
23:54Wait, you're my neighbor?
23:58I guess so.
24:00Huh.
24:02How convenient.
24:03Why the long face, Jackson?
24:06The one that got away is now in reaching distance.
24:11Yeah, except she's got a kid, like Gary.
24:13Huh, the trust fund catch you left before?
24:16Yeah.
24:16Except she's broke.
24:18He's loaded.
24:19I know, it doesn't make any sense.
24:20Whatever.
24:21I don't even care.
24:21You know what?
24:22I'm over her, actually.
24:23I'm, I'm Jackson Carter.
24:27All right, town hero.
24:28I can get whoever I want.
24:30Yeah, right.
24:32Keep telling yourself that.
24:34You're right. He's loaded.
24:36I know. It doesn't make any sense.
24:38Whatever. I don't even care.
24:40You know what? I'm over her, actually.
24:42I'm Jackson Carter.
24:44Alright? Town hero.
24:46I can get whoever I want.
24:48Right. Keep telling yourself that.
24:52Hello, boys.
24:54Party has arrived.
24:56Vanessa, what are you doing here?
24:58You're acting all mopey, so I thought some company would do you some good.
25:02Okay.
25:03Welcome in.
25:09Well, because I'm sure that I'm much more fun than whoever she is anyway.
25:13Mm-hmm.
25:14Let's get this party started.
25:23Cindy! Cindy!
25:25Okay.
25:27Okay.
25:28Cindy, hi.
25:30Would you like to come in?
25:32Um, I just wanted to say thank you.
25:34And I have.
25:36Bye!
25:38Would you like to come in? That's really sweet of you.
25:42We'd love to have you.
25:44Might play a game.
25:46It'll be fun.
25:48See?
25:49See?
25:50It's simple.
25:51Even Cindy's brat could do it.
25:52Get up. Let's play.
25:54Hey, do you actually mind switching with Cindy?
25:56Mm-hmm.
25:57You actually mind switching with Cindy?
26:00Oh, what the fuck?
26:02Oops.
26:06I guess I've had a little too much.
26:08Vanessa, what's your problem?
26:10Don't yell at me, Jackson.
26:12I'm just having a little fun.
26:13Got too much for Cindy.
26:14I'm so sorry. Here.
26:16This is it.
26:17Nice.
26:18I'm just having a little fun.
26:19I'm just having a little fun.
26:20Got too much for Cindy.
26:21I'm so sorry. Here.
26:23This is it.
26:24Nice.
26:25What are you two looking at?
26:26Hey.
26:27Don't worry.
26:28What's going on?
26:29What the fuck?
26:30What the fuck?
26:31What the fuck?
26:32Oops.
26:33I guess I've had a little too much for them.
26:34Vanessa, what's your problem?
26:35Don't yell at me, Jackson.
26:36Just having a little fun.
26:38Got too much for Cindy.
26:39I'm so sorry. Here.
26:42This is it.
26:43Nice.
26:46What are you two looking at?
26:48Hey.
26:50Don't worry.
26:52I'll see you next time.
26:53Don't worry. I'm leaving. I just don't want Noah to see me like this.
26:57No, no, I'm sorry. I don't know what that was. Are you okay?
27:01What do you think?
27:05Sorry. For that.
27:09And for crashing your little party. Looked like you and your fangirls were having fun without me.
27:13Wait, hold on. Do I sense a hint of jealousy?
27:17Do you like me?
27:23Don't flatter yourself. I'd never like an arrogant ass like you.
27:27Oh, so you'd like a rich prick like Gary.
27:31Gary, go home. We're not getting back together.
27:35You psycho bitch.
27:37What are you talking about?
27:39Oh, stop. See, don't play dumb.
27:43Alright, you dumbed me for him eight years ago and he's known his dad, right?
27:47You have no idea what you're talking about.
27:53Okay, then tell me. Cindy, please just tell me then.
27:57Get rid of the baby and disappear from his life. I swear I will destroy everything you have.
28:07It's better he thinks Noah is Gary's kid than the truth.
28:11It was over a decade ago. Just let it go, Jackson.
28:21Maybe you want to forget about it because you don't want to come to terms that you traded love, real love, for money.
28:29You know, we could have had something together. We could have a future together.
28:33Jackson, please.
28:35You know what? Fine. Here. I don't want you to catch a cold.
28:43What's that?
28:45Yeah, the ring. I'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 feel like I can always make it through.
29:09Jackson, stop.
29:12Okay?
29:14Thank you for saving me.
29:17For the job, for the house, the rescue.
29:20But let's just leave this, us, in the past.
29:24We'll call exile.
29:26It's best that we keep it professional.
29:34That's what you want.
29:37Thanks.
29:40Wow. Look, it's our new paramedic.
29:48Can I help you guys?
29:50Yeah, I actually hurt myself on the last job. I was wondering if you could take a look at it.
29:54Oh. You pulled your groin?
29:56Every night before bed. We were actually hoping that you might help us out with that.
30:06Yeah. Or is that just exclusively for Captain Carter?
30:18Do you guys have any real injury?
30:20Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Sorry.
30:24You broke my heart?
30:26Wait, wait. You broke my heart, too.
30:30Alright, leave my station before I give you something to cry about.
30:34Ooh.
30:36Look, I don't think you know who you're dealing with, little girl.
30:40What'd I do?
30:46What'd I do?
30:48Hey, Jackson!
30:52We were just looking for you right now.
30:54We couldn't find you, so we came over here.
30:56Yo, we were just joking.
31:00We were just hazing the new guy, okay? It was all in good fun.
31:04What do you think, Cindy?
31:06Is it all in good fun?
31:08Huh? You heard her.
31:10Hey, hey, hey, hey. Please, please, please, please. Look, look.
31:12We're sorry, boss.
31:14We're sorry, Sidney.
31:16Let go.
31:22Hey, you okay? I'm sorry about that.
31:24Yeah, I'm fine.
31:26Thanks to you.
31:28Just doing my job.
31:30Well, your men make it impossible for me to do mine, so...
31:34I'm gonna quit.
31:36What?
31:38No, no, no, you can't quit.
31:40You just started.
31:42If I wanted to be mocked every day, then I would just beg Vanessa for my job back.
31:47Look, this will never happen again.
31:49It's a one-time occurrence, I promise.
31:51If it ever happens again...
31:57That was a pretty gnarly punch.
32:00Oh, I see.
32:02It's a pretty gnarly swelling.
32:05There's nothing.
32:07Yeah, I know.
32:12Look at you saving me for once.
32:14Just doing my job.
32:19You 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.
32:33What?
32:34You've been alone this whole time?
32:40No.
32:41Just make sure that your hand stays dry for about three hours.
32:44I gotta go get organized.
32:46I guess I'm staying.
32:56So Gary just abandoned her?
32:58I need to know more.
33:00If Cindy won't tell me, I'll go to Gary.
33:02I 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?
33:16You 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.
33:29Yeah, she begged me to come back to her.
33:31And then after she dumped you, she told me that she didn't even want to be with me.
33:36What about Noah?
33:40Who 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!
33:56Yo, you're loco, man.
33:58You two deserve each other.
34:00If Gary's not the father, then who is?
34:02What the hell's going on, Cindy?
34:13Mom, this is disgusting.
34:15Noah!
34:16Hey, uh, Cindy.
34:17I need to...
34:18Save us!
34:20What's up, little man?
34:21Mom can't cook to save her life.
34:23Oh!
34:24Excuse me!
34:25Yeah, he's not lying.
34:27Fine.
34:29Last time I'd do anything nice for you people.
34:32Okay, tell me.
34:33How do you like your burger cooked?
34:34Medium rare.
34:36No way!
34:37Me too!
34:39You know what that makes us?
34:40What?
34:41Taste buds.
34:44Oh my gosh.
34:45How do you guys share with all those similarities you two are not related?
34:56Good?
34:57Mm-hmm.
34:58Yeah.
34:59Wrong pipe.
35:01Listen, can you, um, watch Noah for a second?
35:04While we...
35:05We...
35:06Clean up the plates.
35:07There's only two plates, so...
35:08Can you end up?
35:09Call me clean up the plates.
35:10Okay.
35:12I'll help you clean up the plates.
35:17I, uh...
35:18Actually, hey, I'm gonna go talk to your mom real quick, but you stay here.
35:21Okay?
35:22Okay.
35:23Okay, go down the floor for me.
35:24Alright, I'll be right back.
35:25What are you doing?
35:26It's already as difficult as it is.
35:27Jackson isn't stupid.
35:28He's gonna find out eventually that he's not the father and then what are you gonna do about it?
35:32Hey, what are you guys talking about?
35:33What are you doing?
35:34It's already as difficult as it is.
35:35Jackson isn't stupid.
35:36He's gonna find out eventually that he's not the father and then what are you gonna do about it?
35:39Hey, what are you guys talking about?
35:40What did you hear?
35:41Nothing.
35:42You mind if I talk to Cindy for a second alone?
35:43Yeah, I have to use the bathroom anyway.
35:46You and I are getting along great.
35:47Oh, yeah, he's a great kid.
35:48Yeah.
35:49You know, I'd love to help out more.
35:52You know, if you'd let me know, that's if you'd let me know.
35:53Is he gonna be talking to me?
35:54Oh, no?
35:55He's not in.
35:57I'd love to help out more.
35:58If he's not in.
35:59He's like a big, big boy.
36:01Yeah.
36:02He's like a big, big boy.
36:05It's nice to be too late.
36:07Yeah.
36:08Yeah.
36:09You know, I'd love to help out more.
36:11Or, if you'd let me, take him to school, pick him up from soccer practice, whatever you need.
36:19Ice cream!
36:21You want to babysit?
36:24You're a fire captain, right? That's a little below your pay grade.
36:27No, no, no. I just want to be part of your guys' lives.
36:35You know, and...
36:37Noah? Where's Noah?
36:38Shh!
36:41He lost a lot of blood. Is anyone a negative for transfusion?
36:54I am, but I can't. I'm his mother.
36:56Anyone else?
36:57I'm a universal downer.
36:58Perfect. Come with me.
36:59No, no, no, no. There has to be someone else.
37:01Cindy, stop. There's no time.
37:02No, it can't be you.
37:03Why? Why won't you let me help him?
37:06No!
37:07Okay, I don't need your help.
37:08Leave.
37:09I'm sorry.
37:20Cindy, I know you're scared, but the longer you keep this a secret, the more pain it's going to cause for the both of you.
37:27I just don't know what to do right now. I know.
37:32Goodness!
37:32Yes. We've located down our plans now. I just need your signature, okay? Right here.
37:43You know, it's just...
37:43Every time I feel like we're finally getting closer, she shuts me out. I don't get it.
37:49I mean, she's been alone for so long, and I guess it didn't really end up well last time.
37:53What if she's just scared?
37:55What? And I'm not? Well, she's the one that dumped me.
37:57Yeah, I know. I know.
37:59How about she wouldn't even let me donate blood to Noah?
38:02Luckily, we found a plasma donor, but what if we didn't?
38:05Why won't she let me help?
38:07Wait.
38:08They didn't let you donate?
38:09No! That's crazy, right?
38:12Wait, didn't you say Gary wasn't the father?
38:14Yeah.
38:16And?
38:17Direct relatives can't give blood to other direct relatives, so...
38:21Yo, what if you're Noah's dad?
38:23You're my dad!
38:31Peace, buds.
38:33Who the fuck is Noah?
38:47A man is right. I can't keep hiding this.
38:50Jackson deserves to know.
38:52And Noah does, too.
38:52How's he doing?
38:59Good.
39:01Hey.
39:02I need to talk.
39:05I talked to Gary.
39:07What?
39:08You had no right to do that.
39:10You wouldn't tell me anything. I needed answers.
39:14Cindy?
39:17Is Noah my son?
39:18No.
39:18No.
39:18No.
39:18No.
39:19No.
39:19No.
39:19No.
39:19No.
39:19No.
39:19No.
39:19No.
39:19No.
39:20No.
39:21No.
39:21No.
39:21No.
39:22No.
39:22No.
39:24No.
39:24No.
39:24I...
39:24I mean...
39:25That's the only thing I can think of, why you wouldn't let me donate blood.
39:29I mean...
39:30When I first met him, we had an instant connection.
39:32And every time I've seen him since, I've realized that he eats like me, he talks like me, how
39:39he even looks like me.
39:40Why won't you tell me, is Noah my son?
39:45Norm.
39:46No.
39:47No.
39:48Cindy, just tell me.
39:48is Noah my son?
39:49Yes!
39:53Noah is your son.
39:54Why wouldn't you just say that?
40:06How could you hide this from me for eight years?
40:09What could I have possibly done to you that was so bad?
40:12Did you know when you broke up with me?
40:16Get rid of the baby and disappear from his life.
40:19I swear I will destroy everything you have.
40:24But I love him!
40:27We love each other!
40:31If you really love him, then walk away.
40:36My son deserves better.
40:42Exxon, I was so young and I was scared.
40:46And you had all these big dreams that you had to go do.
40:49What? The stupid firefighter program?
40:52You thought I cared more about that than him?
40:54Than you?
40:55No!
40:56No!
40:57I knew that you didn't.
41:00That's why I left.
41:01Because I knew that you wouldn't.
41:04But, Jaxon...
41:05You didn't fight me on it.
41:08You never...
41:09You never asked me to stay.
41:12Because you said you didn't love me anymore!
41:14What?
41:15I never stopped loving you!
41:18Jaxon, for every second of every day for the last eight years, I've been waiting for you.
41:26Hoping that you'd call or you'd text...
41:31Something.
41:32Anything.
41:32I dreamt about telling you about no one.
41:39I wasn't strong enough.
41:42I just...
41:43I wish I had been brave and I didn't let your mother control me.
41:47It looks like the cat's finally out the bag.
42:07Um, it's just...
42:09You were just, uh...
42:10I thought I said no more lies.
42:15There's no more.
42:17Hey, you know what?
42:22Now his birthday's tomorrow.
42:25You know what he's always wanted?
42:29Okay.
42:32Dad.
42:34Bingo.
42:37I know just the right thing.
42:47What kind of cake would the birthday wear like?
42:55Honestly, I have no idea.
42:58Nude to this whole dad thing, huh?
43:00Yeah.
43:00I was found out 20 minutes ago.
43:02He doesn't even know.
43:03Oh, wow.
43:04Okay.
43:05Well, let's just start with his name then.
43:07Noah.
43:08I do know that.
43:09Gotcha.
43:11Thanks.
43:11Noah is Jackson's son?
43:21I am going to mess you up, Cindy White.
43:26Wait, sir!
43:28I need an address!
43:32I'll tell you.
43:32Don't worry.
43:35I'm a friend of the family.
43:43Cake for Jackson?
43:45That's me.
43:46Thank you, sir.
43:46No problem.
43:52Are you nervous?
43:55Is it that obvious?
43:57Don't be.
43:57You'll be great.
43:58Don't worry.
43:59Once you're out of here,
44:00I'm going to throw you the biggest party ever.
44:02Who says we have to wait?
44:05Surprise!
44:06Happy birthday!
44:08You remembered!
44:09How could I forget
44:10the coolest kid in town's birthday?
44:12There you go.
44:14Can I open it, Mom?
44:15Yes.
44:30I don't know what happened there.
44:35I'm so sorry.
44:36It must have been some kind of mistake.
44:37Don't worry about that.
44:39Why does everyone call me a bastard?
44:41Why don't I have a dad?
44:46Noah, you do have a dad.
44:48I do?
44:55I'm your father.
44:56I'm your father.
44:56Is that true?
45:03To the best that I could have possibly imagined.
45:07But where have you been all my life?
45:10Did you not want to be my dad?
45:13Of course I wanted to be your dad.
45:16I was...
45:17I was just scared.
45:20Why?
45:20You know,
45:23every day I put my life out on the line
45:25fighting fires.
45:27I was just afraid that maybe one day
45:28I wouldn't be able to come home.
45:31But, uh,
45:32you know, thanks to your mom,
45:35I'm finally brave enough to be here for you.
45:40Can you ever forgive me?
45:41Of course.
45:43Dad.
45:43Yeah?
45:52Are you excited?
45:53Yeah.
45:55Noah!
45:56You're alive!
45:57Yes!
45:58And I have a dad!
45:59Whoa!
46:00Is that him?
46:02That's me.
46:03You're the firefighter from the news!
46:06Hey!
46:06Nice to meet you!
46:07I'm Noah's dad.
46:08Can we take a selfie?
46:11Um, yes.
46:13We can.
46:14Here we go.
46:18Beautiful.
46:19Thank you!
46:20Mm-hmm.
46:21Your dad is so cool.
46:23I know!
46:23We need some firefighting stories,
46:25you told me!
46:26He's totally showing.
46:28Yeah?
46:32What a great kid.
46:35Oh, who's it?
46:35Harry, at the station,
46:39we take this.
46:40Hey!
46:42It's ready?
46:44Okay, great.
46:45I'll be there as soon as I can.
46:46I thought we were done with the lawyers?
46:55Jackson has a son?
46:57Out of all people, it's Cindy.
46:59I know.
47:00But, I talked about a lesson.
47:03Broke bastard on his birthday cake.
47:04Genius.
47:08Show me that.
47:09That's a personal order?
47:11Did I ask?
47:17It's stunning.
47:21Oh, it's engraved.
47:23It says it's for...
47:24Cindy White?
47:29Whose order is this?
47:30Jackson Carter.
47:31The Jackson Carter.
47:34The fire captain?
47:38She's baby trapping him,
47:39and he's falling for it.
47:42Not on my watch.
47:43It's ready?
47:54Okay, great.
47:55I'll be there as soon as I can.
48:01Hey, baby.
48:03What's on your mind?
48:04Um, the call you got earlier.
48:10I kind of overheard it.
48:14Thought there was going to be no secrets, remember?
48:16You may have noticed I'm not wearing my necklace.
48:28Yeah, that seems strange.
48:32It's because I took it to a jeweler, and...
48:37La, la, la, la, la, la, la.
48:38Not listening, not listening.
48:40You asked.
48:41I...
48:41What?
48:41Sorry, whatever you're saying, I can't hear you.
48:44La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la.
48:47I should have never doubted the tarot.
48:49I'm sorry.
48:51Okay, I've accepted my fate.
48:53Can you please just tell me if you can propose?
48:54Man, please.
48:57Any wipe?
48:59Yes?
49:00Can I help you?
49:00Yeah, I was actually looking for a gas station if you...
49:02I was actually looking for a gas station if you...
49:08Jenny, are you still there?
49:11No!
49:12You're right there!
49:19Hey!
49:19Jackson!
49:25These guys just kidnapped Sydney and then put it in a van.
49:28What?
49:28Yeah.
49:29I post security footage.
49:29I'll call 911.
49:30Yeah, yeah.
49:34Let's go.
49:40Buckle up.
49:41You got our GPS location?
49:47Stay here.
49:49Not so sassy now, are you?
50:00Let's just stop!
50:04Don't do something you're in a grunt.
50:06Trust me, I'm not.
50:09Don't do this.
50:10Let's just...
50:10Let's just talk.
50:12About what?
50:14About you marrying this slut?
50:16Or about you crawling back to your family to get her location?
50:20I thought that you were never going to go back to them, remember?
50:22I know you're hurt, Vanessa.
50:29It's just...
50:29It's between me and you, okay?
50:31Just leave Cindy out of this.
50:32This big misunderstanding, okay?
50:35What do you say?
50:35I say...
50:37Leave Cindy and marry me.
50:41I take that as a no.
50:49God, you really love her, don't you?
50:51It's too bad.
50:58Because I really didn't want to do this, but you're not really leaving me a choice.
51:03Put the lighter down.
51:05Let's just talk.
51:06If I can't have you...
51:08She certainly can't.
51:10That's...
51:10Jackson, you're alive!
51:39Jackson!
51:44Jackson!
51:46Somebody help, please!
51:49Let go of me, you pig!
51:52Jackson is mine!
51:53You're making mine!
51:55Lexa Reed, you're under arrest!
51:57Please.
51:59Jackson, please.
52:00Please hold on.
52:01Don't leave me.
52:03Lexa.
52:05I can't get rid of me.
52:08No.
52:08Jackson!
52:09No, please.
52:12Please.
52:14Jackson!
52:15Jackson!
52:27Cindy.
52:27Hi, Jackson.
52:29Hi, I'm here.
52:31No, no.
52:32Easy, easy.
52:33I don't want to push anything.
52:34Here, can I get you some water?
52:37Yeah.
52:37Please.
52:37Yeah, sure, Dad.
52:41Here you go.
52:42Don't worry.
52:43We'll take good care of you.
52:45Mm-hmm.
52:46Mm-hmm.
52:47Mm-hmm.
52:50Come here.
52:52You're the best kid a dad could ask for.
52:54Hey, I'll go get your medicine.
52:59He's really stepping up.
53:01That's amazing.
53:04This kid that I've messed so much with his life, already.
53:07I know.
53:09Cindy.
53:10Mom?
53:17That 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.
53:55What?
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.
54:18You're a strong woman, Cindy.
54:21And an excellent mother.
54:24I'll give you two cents, please.
54:34Jackson, I'm so sorry for everything.
54:37When Cindy broke up with you, I saw how heartbroken you were,
54:40and I immediately knew I'd made a terrible mistake.
54:43But I knew you'd never stop fighting for her.
54:48I truly want nothing but the best for both of you.
54:57Dad, who's the crying lady?
55:00It's your grandma.
55:02Why don't you give her a hug?
55:03Hi, Grandma.
55:05I'm Noah.
55:05Hi, Grandma.
55:07I'm Noah.
55:08Hi, Noah.
55:10Don't worry.
55:12It's okay.
55:13Yes, it is now.
55:32Wow.
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 soon did he get in there?
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.
55:52Z-wax is so crazy.
56:01What is going on?
56:03Surprise!
56:05What?
56:07What is all of this?
56:11I want to make up for all the lost time.
56:17Give Noah a home and a wedding.
56:21I'm going through.
56:24Cindy White, will you marry me?
56:28Yes!
56:31Yes.
56:32A million times, yes.
56:33Everything that I play...
56:37Woo-hoo!
56:41Promise us that you'll see me and that I want you...
56:49Only I own, I want you...
56:52Wait, the door
56:59I know
57:02I'm trying to do it naturally
57:04Ow
57:07Ow
