02:3923!
02:40Woo!
02:41Woo!
02:42Woo!
02:43Woo!
02:44Here you go.
02:53You did amazing.
02:55You're for sure going to ace that firefighter aptitude fest.
02:58Why are you leaving me for New York?
03:00Why is summer already older?
03:02Well, I'm not leaving you, Cindy.
03:05Look, I know it's only been one summer, but I'm for sure that you're the love of my life.
03:12I'm glad I stole you away from that loser, Gary.
03:17Yeah, now I only have eyes for you.
03:20Seriously, wait for me.
03:22I'll come back for you.
03:25I love you, Cindy White.
03:29I love you, T.O. Jackson.
03:37Oh, one more thing.
03:42You ass!
03:48I can't be pregnant.
03:50I have to tell Jackson.
04:00Lorraine.
04:01You shamelessly tramp.
04:05Are you trying to trap my son with a baby?
04:08No.
04:09No, that's not what that is.
04:10Jackson has a bright future ahead of him and I will not let you ruin it.
04:13Get rid of the baby and disappear as life.
04:16I swear I will destroy everything you have.
04:20But I love him!
04:24We love each other!
04:27If you really love him, then walk away.
04:31My son deserves better.
04:41Alright, this is it.
04:42I'm gonna put a ring on your finger before I leave.
04:44What?
04:45If he knew about the baby, he'd stay.
04:47For me.
04:48For us.
05:01Whoa!
05:06Uh, hey!
05:07What are you doing in here?
05:09I'm here to break up with you.
05:17Wait, what?
05:19Break up? Why?
05:30The fuck?
05:31Is this a fucking joke?
05:32I even left you and you're back with this fucking asshole-
05:34Hey, watch your mouth!
05:35Yes.
05:36Gary and I are back together.
05:38I was thinking about it and his family money can give me the life I've always dreamed of.
05:43And I don't want to worry about losing my partner in a fire someday.
05:48You've always been supportive of my dreams.
05:52Goodbye, Jackson.
05:53And the very first moments of falling, the stirring of the heart, I felt the love I gave no longer.
06:06Starts to bloom with you in mind, when I learned to find with you.
06:11That was hilarious!
06:12Did you see his face was priceless?
06:14Gary, go home.
06:17We're not getting back together.
06:18What?
06:19Well, first you begged me to come out here and now you pushed me away?
06:22You psycho bitch!
06:29Sorry, Jackson.
06:32I'm so sorry.
06:37Captain Jackson, you have proven yourself to be a hero once again.
06:41But reports are saying that you stayed inside the blaze 30 minutes longer than protocol allows.
06:46What was your reason for staying inside?
06:49Well, I was just doing my job.
06:51Captain Jackson, I just wanted to say, on behalf of my father's hospital, thank you for saving our lives.
07:00You are truly a hero.
07:02It's no problem.
07:03You must be tired after all that. You could use a little rest.
07:06So why don't we go back to my BMP lounge and have a little fun.
07:11Thanks, but no thanks. I actually have to check on a patient. Thank you for your time.
07:14Oh, no problem.
07:15I'll come with you.
07:19Time to get back to work, Cindy White.
07:21Clock's ticking.
07:22Okay, Vanessa.
07:36Jackson?
07:37Jackson?
07:38Excuse me?
07:39That is Captain Jackson Carter to you.
07:43He's LA's hottest, bravest, most badass firefighter.
07:49And he just saved your worthlessness.
07:50Vanessa, please. That's not necessary.
07:53Where's his thank you?
07:54You know, he could have died pulling your ass out of that fire.
07:59And if something had happened to him, I would have made you pay for it. Trust me.
08:04I wasn't in the fire by choice, Vanessa.
08:07Don't talk back to me, Cindy.
08:10I'm your boss. My dad owns this hospital.
08:14And by the way.
08:16I am so sick of your temper.
08:19You know what?
08:21You're fired.
08:24What?
08:26Come on, Vanessa. I need this job.
08:28Well, maybe you should have thought about that before you talked back to the boss's daughter.
08:34Come on. Let's go somewhere more private.
08:36You know, now that I think about it, there is a new opening for a paramedic in my department.
08:41I would be so honored.
08:43Someone just became available.
08:45Cindy, how would you like to join my team?
08:48What?
08:49A paramedic job? What's the catch, Jackson? What can you miss us?
08:58Thank you so much, but I can't accept. Sorry.
09:03I would be so...
09:08Follow me! Follow me!
09:10I'm sorry. You just ran past me.
09:12That's okay.
09:14Great! Just what I need.
09:17More nobodies.
09:19Thank you for saving my mom!
09:20Just doing my job.
09:25Do you have a son?
09:27Uh, yeah. This is Noah.
09:30Hi, my name is Noah. Nice to meet you.
09:33Hey, nice to meet you.
09:36I'm Jackson.
09:37Wait. You're my dad!
09:41Noah!
09:43Damn, you didn't tell him?
09:45That's not funny.
09:47I'm so sorry.
09:49Um...
09:50We have to go get ice cream!
09:51We have to go get ice cream!
09:52Right? Let's go!
09:53I love ice cream!
09:58Noah, why did you fall Jackson down?
10:00He looks like my dad for my dream.
10:07So after she broke up with me, she had a kid with Gary?
10:24So your love life is a disaster.
10:28Tell me something I don't know.
10:30But, but, but, but, but, your soulmate's here.
10:34And true love follows.
10:35Is there anything in here about money?
10:38Well, it's not paying the rent, honey.
10:40Jackson's job would.
10:42That's not gonna happen.
10:44Okay, well, argue with the cards, honey.
10:46You're fated to take this gig.
10:48Marry the love of your life, and live happily ever after.
10:52Okay, see, this is why I don't believe right here.
10:55My life has never been this neat.
10:57Okay, 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.
11:06Okay.
11:07We're done.
11:08Conversation over.
11:10Run all you want, fate comes for us all.
11:13Good night!
11:14Mark my words, honey, you two are not over!
11:16What do you want, Vanessa?
11:31Just making sure you're not stealing anything.
11:33Strip searcher.
11:34What?
11:36Are you kidding?
11:37What is this?
11:39Are we in high school?
11:41What?
11:43Hey!
11:44She might be hiding medicine under her.
11:45Vanessa!
11:46What is this?
11:48Let's go.
11:50No!
11:51No, wait!
11:52Enjoy the chill time, bitch.
11:54Come on!
11:56Fuck!
11:58Vanessa!
11:59Thanks for implementing the new safety measures, Captain Connor.
12:05For the last time.
12:07Call me Jackson.
12:08Just doing my job.
12:09You're too modest, Jackson.
12:13Help!
12:14Somebody help, please!
12:17Sandy?
12:19Hello?
12:20Sandy!
12:21Jackson!
12:22Hey!
12:23Can you help me?
12:25I stand back.
12:26Okay.
12:27Hey!
12:28Yeah!
12:30Oh my God!
12:32Oh my God!
12:33Wait!
12:34Turn around!
12:35Okay!
12:37Jackson.
12:38I'm not looking.
12:39Wait, the door!
12:40I'm not looking!
12:41Oh shit!
12:45Wait, the door!
12:46I'm not looking!
12:47Oh shit!
12:50Great.
12:51Now we're both stuck in here.
12:54Ahh!
12:57Damn, is he sexier than I remember?
13:02You know it's rude to stare.
13:05Jerk.
13:07So, when do you have a kid?
13:10When did you come back, Captain Jackson Carter?
13:14Why are you here?
13:16What do you want from me?
13:17Well, I always said I'd come back.
13:19That was years ago.
13:21You were kids.
13:22Does it make it not true?
13:27What about you?
13:28No ring.
13:29No Gary inside.
13:30I guess that happily ever after didn't work out.
13:32Hey.
13:33You just got fired.
13:34Just take my job.
13:35Okay?
13:36It's a good offer.
13:37No.
13:38I don't need your offer.
13:39I don't need you to rescue me.
13:40Again.
13:41What are you so afraid of?
13:43Think about your son.
13:45He's got a point.
13:46I do need a job.
13:47And money.
13:51Fine.
13:52Take your offer.
13:53And I'll be the best paramedic there is on the team.
13:56It will be your ass getting saved by mine.
13:58I saw her sneak into storage.
14:00She's up to something.
14:05I saw her sneak into the storage room.
14:07She's up to something.
14:08Probably stealing meds or case files or worse.
14:11I'm starting to think she's the one who started the fire.
14:14You're finished, thief.
14:19What?
14:20What is it?
14:22Jackson.
14:25But I only locked her in here.
14:27Oh!
14:28Thanks for the confession.
14:29You bitch!
14:30Enough!
14:31Stop embarrassing yourself, Vanessa.
14:33I am so sorry for my daughter's behavior.
14:36Miss White.
14:37Mr. Carter.
14:38You're apologizing to her?
14:39Shut up!
14:40Stop.
14:41Well.
14:43For saving me.
14:44Again.
14:45Well, I wouldn't call getting us both trapped in that room and let you go rescue.
14:48But I'll take it.
14:49Excited to see you at work?
14:50Hello?
14:51Hello, Miss White.
14:52It's principal Coleman.
14:53Your son got into a fight.
14:54You need to come.
14:55Now.
14:56What?
14:58Noah!
14:59Are you hurt?
15:00Let me see.
15:01Is he hurt?
15:02He's hurt?
15:03He's hurt.
15:04He's hurt.
15:05He's hurt.
15:06He's hurt?
15:07He's hurt.
15:08He's hurt.
15:09He's hurt.
15:10He's the one who had set them up.
15:11He's hurt.
15:12He's hurt.
15:13I was hurt.
15:14He's hurt.
15:15He's hurt.
15:16Are you hurting?
15:17I've been hurt.
15:18He's hurt.
15:19I'm hurt.
15:20He's the one who attacked my son!
15:23Oh, I'm sorry. If you're signing the doctor, can you cover it?
15:28I don't need your money. I have money.
15:30What I want is this animal, what you call a son, expelled.
15:37What? You're not gonna do that, right?
15:41Well, per school policy, serious violence does warrant expulsion.
15:45But he started it!
15:47He called me a bastard. He said he called my mom a...
15:51A slut.
15:54My mom says to kids like you don't know your dads because your moms are total sluts.
15:59SHUT UP!
16:00HEY!
16:01DON'T!
16:02DON'T!
16:03DON'T!
16:04SHUT UP!
16:06HEY!
16:07DON'T!
16:08DON'T!
16:09DON'T!
16:10DON'T!
16:11DON'T!
16:12DON'T!
16:13JACKSON!
16:14You okay, kidda?
16:15LET GO OF ME!
16:16HOW DARE YOU!
16:17Mr. Carter!
16:18Hero of the city!
16:19You know the White family?
16:21I do.
16:22President Collins, I didn't know you allowed such bad decorum.
16:28Excuse me, you little son of a...
16:30ENOUGH!
16:32Mr. Carter, I apologize for this incident.
16:35And you, you, you apologize to Noah!
16:39No way!
16:40This bastard attacked my son!
16:42This man has saved our school and countless others!
16:45And it's a price we could never hope to repay!
16:48Actually, there is a way to pay it back.
16:51Really?
16:52Well, just tell me how.
16:54No!
16:55Expel that boy.
16:56Expel that boy.
16:57Ah!
17:02Expel that boy.
17:03Ah!
17:04All right?
17:05Ah!
17:06Wait, wait, wait, wait!
17:07No.
17:08We don't want to expel him.
17:09We don't?
17:10We don't?
17:11We don't?
17:12No, we don't.
17:13No.
17:14Both boys were in the wrong.
17:15NOAH WASN'T!
17:16You said extremely rude things to Noah and I and you need to apologize.
17:20And Noah, you can't hit someone no matter what they say, okay?
17:24You need to say sorry.
17:25My son will not be apologizing, Bart!
17:28I just saved your son from expulsion.
17:33Son, say you're sorry.
17:35What?
17:37Sorry.
17:39What was that?
17:40I'm sorry.
17:41Good.
17:43Noah?
17:44I'm sorry, I guess.
17:47I think you owe Miss White an apology, too.
17:49I am sorry, Miss White.
18:01See?
18:02Your mom's a smart cookie.
18:03I shouldn't have tried to expel that boy the same way you shouldn't have tried to fight him.
18:07Next time, just come to us or the principal.
18:10Okay?
18:11Okay.
18:12Okay.
18:13Nice!
18:16Why does Captain Carter know the whites?
18:18Unless...
18:19Is...
18:20Is...
18:21Is he Noah's...
18:22Dad?
18:23No, it's Captain Carter and the White family.
18:26Unless...
18:27Is he Noah's dad?
18:28Yeah.
18:29Here you come.
18:30Okay.
18:31Uh, principal Kahn, this isn't what it looks like.
18:34Oh, no, no.
18:35Do not worry, Miss White.
18:36Mum's the worst.
18:37You won't get a peep out of me.
18:39But there's nothing to...
18:40Oh, no, do not fret.
18:41We're gonna take very special care of Noah.
18:44Both for you and for...
18:48Just for you.
18:52So, what were you and Principal Collins whispering about?
18:55Nothing.
18:56Huh?
18:57It seemed like something.
18:58No, nothing.
18:59Is it fair you to know about?
19:00Ah, excellent qualifier.
19:01Hey, you wanna rest?
19:02Yes!
19:03Yeah?
19:04Alright, go.
19:05Come on!
19:06Come on, I'm beating you!
19:07Come on, hurry up!
19:08Maybe I should tell him he's so bothered.
19:09He's so good with him.
19:10Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go!
19:11Hi.
19:12Hey.
19:13Can we take a selfie?
19:14I love your buyer safety TikTok videos.
19:15And I adore your calendars.
19:16No, those are bad.
19:17Yeah, that's good.
19:18That's good.
19:19Nice.
19:20Jackson, can I have your phone number?
19:21You can tell us?
19:22Yes.
19:23Yes?
19:24Yes.
19:25Yes.
19:26Yes.
19:27Yes.
19:28Yes.
19:29Yes.
19:30Yes.
19:31Yes.
19:32Yes.
19:33Yes.
19:34Yes.
19:35Yes.
19:36Yes.
19:37Yes.
19:38If I'm ever feeling lightheaded in the bath, could I call you for a personal rest?
19:42Ah, she's bad.
19:43Hey!
19:44Before you play with your little fan club, can you make sure my kid's okay?
19:48Uh, he was just right here.
19:50Yeah, and he almost just ran in the middle of the street.
19:53Nope.
19:54I can't tell him he's a father.
19:55I can't flip Noah's world upside down like that.
19:57Yeah.
20:01Uh...
20:02Hey!
20:03You never answered my question!
20:04Oh, uh, in case of emergency, just call 911.
20:07Yeah.
20:08See?
20:09Hold on.
20:10Wait up.
20:11Sorry about that.
20:12That, uh, never happens.
20:13What now?
20:14Superstar hero?
20:15Oh!
20:16You know, with your new job, it actually comes with a accompanying house.
20:19Oh, okay.
20:20No thanks.
20:21It's free.
20:22Well, then I guess we can move in.
20:24Great!
20:25Awesome!
20:26Okay.
20:27What's, uh, where you at now?
20:28I can help you move.
20:29That's not necessary.
20:3047 Pie Lane apartment, floor B!
20:31Boom!
20:32See?
20:33That's why you're the man of the house.
20:34You little conspirator.
20:36Whoa!
20:37Whoa!
20:38My new room is so huge!
20:39Can I go unpack my toys and go play?
20:40Absolutely.
20:41You got it?
20:54Whoa, my new room is so huge.
20:57Can I go unpack my toys and go play?
20:58Absolutely.
21:01You got it?
21:08Well, now that we're all alone,
21:17it's time to get sweaty.
21:18Excuse me?
21:20Unpack him, Cindy.
21:21Mind out of the gutter.
21:24That was definitely on purpose.
21:28Oh, hey.
21:31Let me.
21:36I got it.
21:37Stop, stop, stop!
21:39I got it.
21:47What?
21:48Come here.
21:49Is she finally giving me a shot?
21:51What was that for?
21:52When I was trying to kiss you.
21:53What?
21:54Why?
21:55You said come here.
21:57There's something on your face.
21:58Sorry, I'm not swooning over you like all the other moms.
21:59Okay.
22:00Well, I guess I'll get going.
22:01But be sure to say hi to your neighbor.
22:06I heard he's a great, handsome, charming, athletic, fun, smart, intelligent guy.
22:07I'm not going to get going.
22:08But be sure to say hi to your neighbor.
22:09I heard he's a great, handsome, charming, athletic, fun, smart, intelligent guy.
22:13I don't know.
22:14I don't know.
22:15What was that for?
22:16I was trying to kiss you.
22:17What?
22:18Why?
22:19You said come here.
22:20What?
22:21You're my neighbor?
22:33I guess I...
22:37Wait, you're my neighbor?
22:44Guess I.
22:47Huh. How convenient.
22:52Why the long face, Jackson? The one that got away is now in reaching distance.
23:10Yeah, except she's got a kid, Gary.
23:14The trust one kid she left before?
23:16Yeah, except she's broke.
23:19Yeah, right. He's loaded.
23:22I don't know. It doesn't make any sense. Whatever. I don't even care.
23:25You know what? I'm over her, actually. I'm Jackson Carty.
23:29Town hero. I can get whoever I want.
23:32Right. You're telling yourself that.
23:36Hello, boy. Party's wrecked.
23:40Vanessa, what are you doing here?
23:42You're acting all mopey, so I thought some company would do you some good.
23:45Okay.
23:46Open it.
23:48Hello, hello.
23:50I'm sure that I'm much more fun than whoever she is, anyways.
23:55Mm-hmm.
23:56Let's get this party started.
24:04Cindy!
24:05Cindy!
24:06Hi! Would you like to come in?
24:13Um, I just wanted to say thank you.
24:16And now you have. Bye!
24:18Would you like to come in? That's really sweet of you. We'd love to have you.
24:24We'll play a game. It'll be fun.
24:35See? It's simple. Even Cindy Spratt could do it.
24:39Get up. Let's play.
24:43Hey, do you actually mind switching with Cindy?
24:46What the fuck?
25:01Oops.
25:02Guess I've had a little too much fun.
25:04Vanessa, what's your props?
25:05Don't yell at me, Jackson.
25:07I was having a little fun.
25:08Is it too much for Cindy?
25:10I'm so sorry. Here.
25:15Sit.
25:16Nice.
25:20What are you two looking at?
25:25Hey.
25:27Don't worry. I'm leaving.
25:28I just don't want Noah to see me like this.
25:29No, no. I'm sorry. I don't know what that was. Are you okay?
25:34What do you think?
25:35Sorry. For that. And for crashing your little party.
25:42Looked like you and your fangirls were having fun without me.
25:47Hold on. Do I sense a hint of jealousy? Do you like me?
25:54Don't flatter yourself. I'd never like an arrogant ass like you.
25:58Oh. So you'd like a rich prick like Gary.
26:01Gary, go home. We're not getting back together.
26:04You psycho bitch.
26:07What are you talking about?
26:09Oh stop, Cindy. Don't play dumb.
26:11Alright, you dumped me for him eight years ago and he's known his dad, right?
26:18You have no idea what you're talking about.
26:22Okay, then tell me. Cindy, just tell me that.
26:27Well, get rid of the baby and disappear from his life or I swear I will destroy everything you have.
26:34It's better he thinks Noah is Gary's kid than the truth.
26:38It was over a decade ago. Just let it go, Jackson.
26:46Maybe you want to forget about it because you don't want to come to terms that you traded love, real love, for money.
26:53You know, we could have had something together. We could have a future together.
26:58Jackson, please.
27:01You know what, fine. Here. I want you to catch a cold.
27:04I want you to catch a cold.
27:10Is that...?
27:15Yeah, the ring. I've had it since the beginning.
27:21Maybe this is stupid, but it's like my good luck charm.
27:24Every time I have it with me, I can always make it through.
27:30Jackson, stop.
27:33Okay?
27:35Thank you for saving me.
27:37For the job, for the house, the rescue, but let's just leave this, us, in the past.
27:43Of the fear of your eyes on me.
27:46It's best that we keep it professional.
27:50Did you think of chasing after me?
27:54Like something from a movie scene?
27:58Never knowing what could I...
28:00Not gonna die of that.
28:12Wow!
28:14Look, it's our new paramedic!
28:17Can I help you guys?
28:19Yeah, I actually hurt myself on the last job.
28:21I was wondering if you could take a look at it.
28:23Umm...
28:24You pulled your groin?
28:27Every night before bed!
28:28We were actually hoping that you might help us out with that.
28:31Yeah, or is that just exclusively for Captain Carter?
28:36Do you guys have any real injury?
28:37Yeah, yeah, yeah, sorry.
28:40You broke my heart?
28:42Wait, wait, you broke my heart too.
28:45All right, leave my station before I give you something to cry about.
28:48Ooh.
28:50Look, I don't think you know who you're dealing with, little girl.
28:53But I do.
28:58Jackson, we were just looking for you right now.
29:05We couldn't find you, so we came over here.
29:09Yo, we were just joking.
29:12We were just hazing the new guy, okay?
29:14It was all in good fun.
29:16What do you think, Cindy?
29:17Is it all in good fun?
29:19Well, you heard her.
29:21Hey, hey, hey, hey, please, please, please, look, look.
29:23We're sorry, boss, all right?
29:25We're sorry, Cindy.
29:26Oh, God.
29:32Hey, you okay?
29:33I'm sorry about that.
29:35Yeah, I'm fine, thanks to you.
29:38Just doing my job.
29:40Well, you're a man making it impossible for me to do mine, so I'm gonna quit.
29:44What?
29:47What? No, no, no, you can't quit.
29:49You just started.
29:50If I wanted to be mocked every day, then I would just beg Vanessa for my job back.
29:54All right, this will never happen again.
29:56It's a one-time occurrence, I promise.
29:58If it ever happens again...
30:03That was a pretty gnarly punch.
30:06Oh, I see.
30:07And some pretty gnarly swelling.
30:11There's nothing.
30:11Yeah, whatever.
30:16Look at you saving me for once.
30:19Just doing my job.
30:20You know, you're different now.
30:25When you were younger, you're stronger and tougher.
30:30Well, being a single mother will do that to anyone.
30:34You should try it.
30:37You've been alone this whole time?
30:38Just make sure that your hand stays dry for about three hours.
30:46I gotta go get organized.
30:49I guess I'm safe.
30:56So Gary just abandoned her?
30:59I need to know more.
31:00Cindy won't tell me, I'll go to Gary.
31:03I can't believe the dweeb I used to know has become the hometown hero.
31:12Man, it's been too long.
31:13How you been?
31:14What brings you in today?
31:16You have no idea what you're talking about.
31:20Just got some questions.
31:22About Cindy.
31:24Oh, that broad.
31:25Oh, she's got issues, man.
31:27She begged me to come back to her.
31:30And then, after she dumped you, she told me that she didn't even want to be with me.
31:36What about Noah?
31:37Who the fuck is Noah?
31:40Come on, man.
31:40It's been years.
31:41Let's talk about something that matters.
31:43Forget that psycho bitch.
31:44Like, I got something real for you.
31:45Oh, fuck!
31:46It's soldier again!
31:51Yeah, you're loco, man.
31:53You two deserve each other.
31:55If Gary's not the father, then who is?
31:57What the hell's going on, Cindy?
32:06Mom, this is disgusting.
32:08Noah!
32:09Hey, uh, Cindy.
32:10I need to-
32:11Save us!
32:13What's up, little man?
32:14Mom can't cook to save her life.
32:15Oh!
32:16Excuse me!
32:17Yeah, he's not lying.
32:20Fine.
32:21Last time I do anything nice for you, people.
32:23Okay, tell me.
32:24How do you like your burger cooked?
32:26Medium rare.
32:26No way.
32:28Me too.
32:29You know what that makes us?
32:31What?
32:31Taste buds.
32:34Oh my gosh.
32:35How do you guys share with all those similarities?
32:37You two are not related.
32:38You all right?
32:45Mm-hmm.
32:46Yeah.
32:47Wrong pipe.
32:50Listen, can we, um, watch Noah for a second while we-
32:53We clean up the plates?
32:55There's only two plates, so, you know, that's-
32:56You-
32:57You-
32:57I'll help you clean the plates.
32:59Okay?
32:59You feel?
33:00Okay.
33:00I'll help you clean the plates.
33:04Yeah, I, uh, actually, hey, I'm gonna go talk to your mom real quick, but you stay here.
33:08Okay?
33:09Okay.
33:09Yeah, hold down the fort for me.
33:11All right, I'll be right back.
33:12What are you doing?
33:26It's already as difficult as is.
33:28Jackson isn't stupid.
33:30He's gonna find out eventually that he's not the father, and then what are you gonna do about it?
33:33Hey, what you guys talking about?
33:34What did you hear?
33:37Nothing.
33:39You mind if I talk to Cindy for a second alone?
33:42Yeah, I have to use the bathroom anyway.
33:47Um, you and Noah are getting along great.
33:50Oh, yeah, he's a great kid.
33:51Yeah.
33:52Yeah, I'd love to help out more, you know, if you'd let me.
33:55Take him to school, pick him up from soccer practice, whatever you need.
33:57Ice cream!
34:03You want to babysit?
34:06You're a fire captain, right?
34:07That's a little below your pay grade?
34:09No, no, no, no.
34:10I just want to be part of your guys' lives.
34:15You know, and...
34:17Noah?
34:18Where's Noah?
34:19Shit!
34:27He lost a lot of blood.
34:30Is anyone a negative for a transfusion?
34:32I am, but I can't.
34:34I'm his mother.
34:35Anyone else?
34:35I'm a universal donor.
34:36Perfect, come with me.
34:37Great.
34:38No, no, no, no, there has to be someone else.
34:39Cindy, stop.
34:40There's no time.
34:40No, it can't be you.
34:41Why?
34:42Why won't you let me help him?
34:43No!
34:44Okay, I don't need your help.
34:46Leave.
34:52Sorry.
34:52I'm sorry.
34:56Cindy, 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.
35:03Just tell him what to do right now.
35:04Okay, no.
35:07Goodness!
35:08We've located the plasma.
35:09I just need your signature, okay?
35:11Right here.
35:17You know, it's just...
35:19Every time I feel like we're finally getting closer, she shuts me out.
35:22I don't get it.
35:22I mean, she's been alone for so long, and you guys didn't really end up well last time.
35:26What if she's just scared?
35:28And I'm not?
35:29Well, she's the one that dumped me.
35:31Yeah, I know.
35:32I know.
35:32How about she wouldn't even let me donate blood to Nell?
35:34Luckily, we found a plasma donor, but what if we didn't?
35:37Why won't she let me help?
35:39Wait, they didn't let you donate?
35:41No!
35:42That's crazy, right?
35:44Wait, didn't you say Gary wasn't the father?
35:46Yeah.
35:47And?
35:48Direct relatives can't give blood to other direct relatives, so...
35:52Yo, what if you're Noah's dad?
36:00You're my dad!
36:01Taste buds.
36:03Who the fuck is Noah?
36:16Amanda's right.
36:17I can't keep hiding this.
36:18Jackson deserves to know, and Noah does too.
36:24How's he doing?
36:26Good.
36:28Hey, we need to talk.
36:32I talked to Gary.
36:34What?
36:35You had no right to do that.
36:36Well, you wouldn't tell me anything.
36:37I needed answers.
36:38I need to tell you.
36:38No.
36:40Cindy?
36:42Is Noah my son?
36:49I...
36:49I mean...
36:50I mean...
36:50That's the only thing I can think of,
36:51why you wouldn't let me donate blood.
36:54I mean, when I first met him, we had an instant connection.
36:57And 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.
37:05Why won't you tell me, is Noah my son?
37:10Cindy, just tell me, is Noah my son?
37:12Yes!
37:15Noah is your son.
37:24Why wouldn't you just say that?
37:27How could you hide this from me for eight years?
37:30What could I have possibly done to you that was so bad?
37:32Did you know when you broke up with me?
37:36Get rid of the baby and disappear from his life.
37:39I swear I will destroy everything you have.
37:44But I love him!
37:47We love each other!
37:50If you really love him, then walk away.
37:54My son deserves better.
37:57Jackson, I was so young and I was scared.
38:04And you had all these big dreams that you had to go do.
38:07What?
38:07The stupid firefighter program?
38:09You thought I cared more about that than him?
38:11Than you?
38:12No!
38:12No!
38:13No!
38:14I knew that you didn't.
38:16That's why I left, because I knew that you wouldn't.
38:20But Jackson, you didn't fight me on it.
38:24You never asked me to stay.
38:27Because you said you didn't love me anymore!
38:29What?
38:30I never stopped loving you!
38:32Jackson, for every second of every day for the last eight years, I've been waiting for you.
38:41Hoping that you'd call, or you'd text, something, anything.
38:49I dreamt about telling you about Noah.
38:52And I wasn't strong enough.
38:54I just, I wish I had been brave and I didn't let your mother just fall out.
39:02It looks like the cat's finally out the bag.
39:18It's just...
39:19You were just, uh...
39:20I thought I said no more lies.
39:24There's no more.
39:28Hey, you know what?
39:30I know his birthday's tomorrow.
39:33You know what he's always wanted?
39:40Dad?
39:42Bingo.
39:45I know just the right thing.
39:46So, what kind of cake would the birthday wear like?
40:01Honestly, I have no idea.
40:04Nude of this whole dad thing, huh?
40:05Yeah.
40:06I just found out 20 minutes ago.
40:07He doesn't even know.
40:08Oh, wow.
40:09Okay.
40:10Well, let's just start with his name then.
40:12Noah.
40:12I do know that.
40:14Gotcha.
40:14Thanks.
40:20Noah is Jackson's son?
40:24I am going to mess you up, Cindy White.
40:29Wait, sir!
40:31I need an address!
40:34I'll tell you.
40:36Don't worry, I'm a friend of the family.
40:38Okay.
40:38I'm a friend of the family.
40:38I'm a friend of the family.
40:44Cake for Jackson.
40:46That's me.
40:47Thank you, sir.
40:47No problem.
40:53Are you nervous?
40:55Is it that obvious?
40:57Don't be.
40:57You'll be great.
40:58Don't worry.
40:59Once you're out of here, I'm going to throw you the biggest party ever.
41:01Who says we have to wait?
41:02Surprise!
41:06Happy birthday!
41:07You remembered!
41:08How could I forget the coolest kid in town's birthday?
41:11There you go.
41:13Can I open it, Mom?
41:14Yes.
41:14I don't know what happened.
41:31I'm so sorry.
41:32It must have been some kind of mistake.
41:34Don't worry about that.
41:35Why does everyone call me a bastard?
41:37Why don't I have a dad?
41:42Noah, you do have a dad.
41:43I do?
41:50I'm your father.
41:53Is that true?
41:57Do the best that I could have possibly imagined.
42:01But where have you been all my life?
42:03Did you not want to be my dad?
42:06Of course I wanted to be your dad.
42:09I was just scared.
42:12Why?
42:13You know, every day I put my life out on the line fighting fires, I was just afraid that
42:20maybe one day I wouldn't be able to come home.
42:22But thanks to your mom, I'm finally brave enough to be here for you.
42:30Can you ever forgive me?
42:31Of course.
42:32Of course.
42:33Dad.
42:41Yeah?
42:41Are you excited?
42:42Yeah, definitely.
42:43Oh, cool.
42:44Noah!
42:45You're alive!
42:46Yes, and I have a dad!
42:48Whoa, is that him?
42:50That's me.
42:51You're the firefighter from the news!
42:54Hey, nice to meet you.
42:55I'm Noah's dad.
42:56Can we take a selfie?
42:58Um, yes, we can.
43:01Here we go.
43:05Beautiful.
43:06Thank you!
43:06Mm-hmm.
43:07Dude, that is so cool.
43:09I know!
43:10We need some firefighting stories he told me!
43:12He's totally showing.
43:14Yeah?
43:14What a great kid.
43:20Oh, who's it?
43:22Harry, at the station.
43:24We take this.
43:25Hey!
43:27You guys ready?
43:29Okay, great.
43:29I'll be there as soon as I can.
43:31You thought we were done with the lawyers?
43:38Jackson has a son.
43:41Out of all people, it's Cindy.
43:42I know.
43:43But, I taught Brad a lesson.
43:46Broke bastard on his birthday cake.
43:48Genius.
43:50Show me that.
43:51That's a personal order?
43:53Did I ask?
43:59It's stunning.
44:02No, it's engraved.
44:04It says it's for...
44:06Cindy White?
44:09Whose order is this?
44:11Jackson Carter.
44:11The Jackson Carter.
44:14The fire captain.
44:17She's baby trapping him, and he's falling for it.
44:21Not on my watch.
44:31It's ready?
44:31Okay, great.
44:33I'll be there as soon as I can.
44:38Hey, baby.
44:41What's on your mind?
44:43Um, the call you got earlier.
44:47I kind of overheard it.
44:49I thought there was going to be enough secrets, remember?
44:59We may have noticed I'm not wearing my necklace.
45:03Yeah.
45:04That seems, um, strange.
45:07It's because I took it to a jeweler, and...
45:11La-la-la-la-la-la-la.
45:12Not listening, not listening.
45:14You asked.
45:14I...
45:15What?
45:15Sorry, whatever you're saying, I can't hear you.
45:17La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la.
45:20I should have never doubted the tarot.
45:22I'm sorry.
45:24Okay, I've accepted my fate.
45:25Can you please just tell me if you said suppose?
45:28Amanda, please.
45:29Cindy White?
45:31Yeah?
45:32Can I help you?
45:32Yeah, I was actually looking for a gas station if you...
45:34I was actually looking for a gas station if you were...
45:39Ah!
45:40Ah!
45:41Cindy, you're still there?
45:42No!
45:43Right there!
45:49Hey!
45:53Jackson!
45:55These guys just kidnapped Cindy and then put her in a van.
45:57What?
45:58Yeah.
45:58I pulled security footage.
45:59I'll call my remote.
45:59Yeah, yeah.
46:01Let's go.
46:08Buckle up.
46:09You got her GDS location?
46:11Hey, what's it?
46:15Stay here!
46:23Not so sassy now, are you?
46:26Amanda, stop!
46:30Don't do something you're in a grunt.
46:31Trust me, I'm not in a grunt.
46:35Don't do this.
46:35Let's just...
46:36Let's just talk.
46:37About what?
46:39About you marrying this slut?
46:42Or about you crawling back to your family to get her location?
46:45I thought that you were never going to go back to them, remember?
46:50I know you're hurt, Vanessa.
46:53It's between me and me and you, okay?
46:54Just leave Cindy out of this.
46:56This is a big misunderstanding, okay?
46:58What do you say?
46:59I say, leave Cindy and marry me.
47:10I take that as a no.
47:12God, you really love her, don't you?
47:17That's too bad.
47:18Because I really didn't want to do this, but you're not really leaving me a choice.
47:24Put the leg her down.
47:25Let's just talk.
47:27If I can't have you, she certainly can't.
47:30No, no, no!
47:31No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
48:02Jackson!
48:03Somebody help, please!
48:05Let go of me, you pig!
48:08Jackson, it's mine!
48:09I feel you're making it's mine!
48:11Vanessa, Reed, you are under arrest!
48:13Please.
48:15Jackson, please.
48:16Please hold on, don't leave me.
48:18Jackson, Jackson.
48:21You can't get rid of me, guys.
48:23No!
48:24Jackson!
48:24No, please!
48:26Please!
48:29Jackson!
48:29Jackson!
48:31Hi, Jackson.
48:42Hi, I'm here.
48:44No, no, no.
48:44Easy, easy.
48:46I don't want to push anything.
48:48Can I get some water?
48:49Yeah.
48:49Please.
48:50Yeah, sure, Dad.
48:53Here you go.
48:54Don't worry.
48:55We'll take good care of you.
48:56Mm-hmm.
48:57Mm-hmm.
48:58You're the best kid that Dad could ask for.
49:05I'll go get your medicine.
49:09He's really stepping up.
49:11That's amazing.
49:13I just can't do that much so much with his life already.
49:17I know.
49:17Cindy.
49:18Cindy.
49:24Mom?
49:25That must be your son.
49:27He's so beautiful.
49:28What are you doing here?
49:31How do you know about Cindy's son?
49:34Because I paid her to leave you so she wouldn't trap you with a baby.
49:41I told her I'd ruin her life if she didn't leave you.
49:44Is that what you're doing here now?
49:47To threaten her again?
49:48No.
49:49Is that what...
49:49Mom?
49:51Get out.
49:51No.
49:52Mom?
49:53Get the fuck out of here!
49:54Go!
49:54Jackson.
49:55I'm sorry, son.
49:56I'm so sorry.
49:57Cindy, why didn't you just tell me?
50:03I thought you said no more lies.
50:06I'm a mother now.
50:10And even though I would never make the choices that you did,
50:15I can understand them.
50:19And I forgive you.
50:21You're a strong woman, Cindy.
50:23And an excellent mother.
50:27I'll give you two sims' face.
50:35Jackson, I'm so sorry for everything.
50:38When Cindy broke up with you, I saw how heartbroken you were,
50:41and I immediately knew I'd made a terrible mistake.
50:45But I knew you'd never stop fighting for her.
50:47I truly want nothing but the best for both of you.
50:57Dad, who's the crying lady?
50:59It's your grandma.
51:01Why don't you give her a hug?
51:04Hi, Grandma.
51:05I'm Noah.
51:06Hi, Noah.
51:09Don't worry.
51:10It's okay.
51:10Yes, it is now.
51:14Wow.
51:27Wow.
51:29Where is the uniform?
51:32I got it.
51:33Do you got the ring?
51:35I got it.
51:36All right.
51:36Speaking of, how's Cindy getting here?
51:38Only the best is bringing her.
51:40Mom, can you please go to Dad's photo shoot?
51:41Please, please, please, please?
51:45Fine.
51:45Yeah.
51:46You act so nice.
51:48What is going on?
51:57Surprise!
51:58Oh, no.
51:59What?
52:00What is all of this?
52:06I want to make up for all the lost time.
52:09Give Noah a home and a wedding.
52:12You're both served.
52:15So you wipe.
52:18Will you marry me?
52:19Yes.
52:21Yes.
52:22A million times, yes.
52:46The door.
52:47Wait, the door.
52:48I know.
52:50I'm trying to do it naturally.
52:54Ow.
52:55Ow.
52:56Just doing my job.
52:57Sorry, one more time.
52:59Whatever happens again.
53:04Jesus.
53:04God.
53:05Good job.
53:13For the rest of my life.
53:17For the rest of my life.
53:18Let's go.
53:20God.
53:20Good job.
53:21You go again.
53:22Go again.
