00:00You can't believe you're going away to college in a week.
00:19I'm not ready for the summer yet.
00:21It doesn't mean that we have to end.
00:22Come on.
00:23You just have to promise me that you're not going to go back to that asshole Mark.
00:26Never.
00:27No.
00:28I can't imagine being with anyone else.
00:29I'm going to come back for you someday.
00:30I love you, Carolyn Mills.
00:31I love you too, Mr. Black.
00:32Oh God.
00:33The period is a week late.
00:34What am I going to do?
00:35Carolyn.
00:36It's Easton's mom.
00:37Mrs. Black.
00:38Hi.
00:39Do you think you're pregnant with Easton's child?
00:40You're sick.
00:41Easton has a full ride hockey scholarship and I will not let you ruin his life trapping
00:42him in this pod on town to raise some bastard kid.
00:43Please, just let me talk to Easton.
00:44Okay?
00:45I'm not trying to trap him.
00:46You are going to break up with him and you are going to get rid of that baby.
00:47Or else.
00:48No.
00:49No.
00:50No.

01:32No.
01:33No.
01:34No.
01:35No.
01:36What the hell.
01:37I haven't even left yet, and you're already getting back with this asshole?
01:38Is this a fucking joke?
01:39No.
01:40I'm just coming to my senses.
01:41I'm coming back for you.
01:42I'm going to make it to the NHL, and then—
01:43You.
01:44You.
01:45You.
01:46It's always about you, isn't it?
01:47You, and your career, and your fame.
01:48All you care about is hockey.
01:49Easton, but Mark.
01:50He cares about me.
01:51I love you, Carolyn!
01:52I just need to go make an aim for myself.
01:53you are. Easton, we're done. That's right, loser. Ciao.
02:03What the fuck? Mark, hey! I want to get back together.
02:07I thought you wanted me back. I changed my mind.
02:09I'm never getting back together with you anymore. You crazy bipolar bitch.
02:13Don't ever fucking call me again.
02:18I'm sorry, Easton. How could you do this to me?
02:21This was the only way.
02:29My bad. Speaking of hockey, did you see the news
02:34about your superstar ex? Everyone's saying Easton's making big moves.
02:44You're the front. Easton, you're the youngest hockey player to ever win MVP,
02:47but you shocked everyone by announcing your departure from the team that made
02:49you famous. Can you tell us where you're heading next?
02:51No comment. Good for him. He made it just like he always
02:56said he would. What would you say to Easton if you saw
02:59him again? Oh, I have no idea. It's been eight years.
03:03All I know is that he can never find out that he has a daughter, okay? Like, not
03:06that there's any chance of that happening. He's the East Coast's biggest
03:08hockey star and I am scrubbing toilets at a practice rink in LA.
03:12It's been eight years, Carolyn Mills.
03:15Wake the fuck up, Caroline! I need you to take out the trash.
03:21I know who's in it. I'll get to it. Did you forget that my father is the LA
03:25Vipers coach? He runs this entire fucking place. And
03:28you? You're just a poor little janitor. I own you, Caroline. I wouldn't talk back
03:32to me if I were you. Trash. Now. Whatever you said was in it.
03:36Quickly! New Vipers captain will be here any second and I need this place to be
03:39spotless. Do not embarrass me today. Captain?
03:46Welcome to the LA Vipers, superstar.
03:51Welcome to the LA Vipers, superstar. Don't start today, huh? Let's get it.
03:54Want to see this new practice rink or what? Yeah, let's check it out.
04:07Hi, Ethan. We are so happy to have you here.
04:10Captain Black, we're lucky to have a star like you on this team. Well, I'm excited
04:12to be here, coach. This is Ziggy. He's my right wing. I can't
04:15play without him. Looking forward to being here, coach. Can't wait to win with you.
04:17Uh, they said they had some stuff for me to sign.
04:23Oh, it would be my pleasure. Right over here we have our rink.
04:34And here we have everything. We have everything that you enjoy in our break
04:37room.
04:41Easton. Easton. Oh, no. Did he join the LA Vipers?
04:47What is Easton doing here? Hi, my name is Easton Black, but it seems like you
04:49already know my name. Carol. Fine. Mills, don't touch him.
04:53You're covered in trash and you smell like death.
04:55One fucking job. I am so sorry that this happened, Easton. I promise we have
04:58other employees that are more competent. I said it was an accident. I was just
05:01taking out the trash like you asked. Hey, stop talking. You're fired. You're fired.
05:06Clean this up first. Is there anything else I can do for you
05:10today, Captain Black? Yeah, I'm actually looking for a personal
05:13assistant. Just help me get acquainted with the team,
05:15keep my calendar, run errands, that sort of thing. I would love to assist you,
05:19Easton. My dad is the coach, so I know what it
05:21takes to keep a captain happy. I actually think Caroline would be
05:24perfect for the job. Caroline? What the hell is he doing?
05:27Yeah, it seems like you have your hands full here, Lucinda. Besides, Caroline just
05:29got fired, which means she has all the time in the world right now.
05:32So, what do you say, Carol?
05:35Carol?
05:38Will you be my personal assistant?
05:42Will you be my personal assistant? No. No, I don't think I can.
05:49I can... I'm sorry, Lucinda. I have something urgent I need to attend to.
05:51We'll pick this up later, okay? Come on, Zig. Let's go. Hey, dude. You promised me
05:55that if we came here and won the Vipers a championship, we'd be kings of the NHL.
05:57Don't tell me that you only came here just for her. It's for the love of the
05:59game, Zig. That's why we're here. Come on, let's go.
06:04Oh, my sweet girl. Is everything okay? Oh, my gosh. It's been an...
06:07Easton Black. Daddy!
06:12Daddy! Did you tell her? No. Oh, god. I didn't realize how much Hailey
06:16looks like her daddy. Hi, I'm Easton Black. I'm the
06:19new captain of the Vipers hockey team. Oh, my gosh. I love ice skating.
06:23We have that in common. I'm so sorry about the whole daddy thing. She must
06:25have learned that from watching too much TV.
06:27Carol, you have a daughter? No, Easton. We have a daughter.
06:30Yeah. Easton, um, Hailey's my daughter.
06:37She left me for Mark and then she had a kid with him? How did I never hear about
06:40this? Why did you just call Easton daddy? I
06:43know you told me that my daddy's not around anymore,
06:45but whenever I dream about him, he looks just like that.
06:49Let's go home, yeah?
06:52You're being very calm about this whole thing. If my secret baby daddy showed up
06:54out of the blue after eight years, I would be losing my fucking mind.
06:56Well, thank you for that, Junie. That was really helpful. So, are you gonna tell him?
07:00And say what? Exactly. Oh, hi. So good to see you again after I dumped you all
07:03those years ago. So sorry. I didn't tell you I had your kid.
07:04Yeah, and also, thank you so, so much for getting me fired from the job that I
07:07desperately need to feed my family. Yeah, it's gonna go over super well.
07:11Oh, I need to know. What the hell kind of game is he playing? Honest hiring his personal
07:14assistant? I don't trust him. I think he should take the job. If you
07:16ask me, he's only fucking with you because he still cares about you. No, no, no, no.
07:18Correction. He cared about me. He's not the same guy I knew eight years
07:21ago. He's not. Now he's just another Aryan cocky asshole. Okay, well, asshole or not,
07:25you need a job and you need money. And what better way to get to know the real Easton
07:28Black than by becoming his personal assistant? Who knows? He might surprise you. Look, no
07:32matter what, Easton deserves to know he has a daughter. You can't keep Haley away from
07:35her father forever. Lucinda? Come get the rest of your shit from the
07:41rank first thing tomorrow or it's going in the trash.
07:44Oh, Easton's eyes should be on me, not that slimy little snake. After today,
08:13she will never step foot in this ring again. I'll make sure of it.
08:20Hi, Easton, your brand new Vipers jersey. The rest of the team will be here shortly
08:23and they cannot wait to meet you. Cool. I'm just gonna get the showers
08:26real quick and I'll be out. Say hi. All right.
08:35Shit. Sorry, Caroline. It was an accident. Yeah, sure. Oh, you might want to run to the
08:41shower and take care of that before the stain sets in. This is gonna be good.
08:53Sorry, boys, you can't go in there. Caroline ran inside after Easton.
08:57I didn't know she'd be such a skank. What?
09:03He's hotter than ever. And he knows it. Cocky asshole.
09:07Want to tell me what the hell you're doing in the men's locker room?
09:10Oh, did you hear her screaming? They're definitely getting it down in there.
09:15So what do you think, boys? Should we check it out?
09:18Here we come, Caroline. We know you're in there. Don't say a word.
09:25Can I help you? What are you and Caroline up to in there?
09:27What the hell are you doing in here, Lucinda? I told you I was gonna talk to the team after
09:29my shower. Unless you all want to join me in here. Can I? You got room?
09:33Come on, Easton. I know I heard Caroline screaming in there.
09:36Why are we standing here? Caroline's stuck in the men's locker room and is trying to seduce Easton.
09:40Coach, I already asked Lucinda to leave once. If she's that obsessed with seeing me naked,
09:43then I don't think Caroline's the one that we need to worry about here.
09:45Me too. Now. Caroline's in there, like, hoeing around.
09:48This is a way for a coach's daughter to act. Do you understand that?
09:51Can you fire Caroline and pull this kind of shit? How about I fire you? How about that?
09:53How about I fire you? And how do you feel about that?
09:56If you wanted to accept the job, you could have just called. No need for all the theatrics.
10:00Caroline, wait. Why didn't you tell me you had a kid?
10:04Why didn't you tell me you had a kid? Why didn't you just tell me that you're
10:06happy to be joining the team that practices my work? Stalking me?
10:09Stalking you? It was a career move. Not like you know anything about that.
10:13Well, what the hell is that supposed to mean? There's no ring on your finger.
10:15And you're working some dead-end job letting people like Lucinda Kors walk all over you.
10:18I mean, obviously, things didn't work out between you and Mark. That's a shame.
10:21But you're obviously bossing me off again. I have no idea what you're talking about.
10:26Oh, really? I don't need you, Easton.
10:28Is that why you're scared to take the job back? You're afraid you're gonna fall in love with me?
10:32I do need a job. I need money to take care of Haley.
10:34Who knows? He might surprise you. Fine.
10:37So we go back on your pretty little challenge? I'll take the job and I'm gonna be the best
10:40damn assistant you've ever had. You're gonna be the one that's well-skilled.
10:48Good. Just what I wanted. Happy birthday, dear mommy.
10:51Happy birthday to you. Yay! Thank you so much.
10:54Sweet girl. I love it. And you know what? I was thinking maybe today we could go to the park.
10:57Or... hang on. Hey, it's Saturday morning. Easton, what do you want?
11:01Hello to you too, Carol. Hey, I need you to go pick up some pants for me at the tailor.
11:05Can that wait? That's no way to speak to your boss.
11:07No, it can't. Hey, drop them off at my place here in a couple hours, all right?
11:10I'll text you the address. Easton, it's my birthday.
11:15Asshole. Mommy, can we go in there?
11:19I don't know, baby. We're already running late. Please, just for one minute.
11:23You know what? Let's do it. We can take all the time we want.
11:25Yay! Thank you, mommy. Yeah, let's go.
11:27Yeah, that one's pretty, isn't it? Hey, you touch it, you buy it.
11:30Excuse me? You heard me. Unless you're planning on purchasing, I suggest you leave.
11:33We wouldn't want your child's grubby little hands dirtying the merchandise.
11:35Come on, Hayley, let's go. We don't need to give this rude woman another second of our time.
11:38Stop it, you thieves! No, we're not thieves!
11:40All right, Hayley, turn around and show me your hands, okay?
11:46I knew it. Come with me. Look, no, I'm sorry. This is a big misunderstanding, okay?
11:50I'll pay for the necklace. As if you could afford it. It's $100,000.
11:52$100,000? Shit. What am I going to do?
11:56Where the hell is she? If you can't pay, I'm going to have to press charges.
12:00No, please don't press charges, okay? Eastern Black. Oh, my God. He's the hottest man alive.
12:04Hey, Carol. Seems like you found yourself something nice here.
12:07Oh, I told my personal assistant here to get herself something nice for her birthday.
12:10She has great taste, doesn't she? Hey, I'm the one that picked that out.
12:12But this mean lady snatched it out of my hands. No, no, no, I didn't.
12:14What's going on here? Eastern Black, is there anything that I can help you with today?
12:17Yes. Your employee here is accusing me of stealing.
12:19No, no, no, I didn't. I didn't realize. I'm so sorry.
12:22Can you please forgive me? Can I get a selfie? No selfies. Get out. Get out.
12:26Oh, God. Mr. Black, I'm so, so sorry about that. Please. But perhaps I could get a selfie?
12:31Discharge necklace. Absolutely. Okay.
12:43Happy birthday, Carol. Eastern remembered my birthday.
12:46Maybe he's not such an arrogant asshole after all. You're lucky I was here to save your ass again.
12:48I told you, you're lost without him, Carol. Nope. Still an arrogant asshole.
12:53Bye, Hailey. Thanks, Mr. Eastern.
13:02An arrogant asshole and a womanizer.
13:11Jennifer, what the hell? I thought you were coming over for a Real Housewives and Wine night.
13:13We always have Real Housewives and Wine nights. It's time for a
13:16get Caroline out of the house and onto a dance floor night.
13:17Is she a fucking birthday bitch? Jennifer, I'm a mom, okay? My cutting day is over.
13:21Caroline, you're 25, and you've never even had a coffee break. I know. I know it must be hard
13:25working for Eastern when you're hiding this big secret from him. I just think it might be fun to
13:28just have a fun night, clear your head, stop thinking about all the heavy stuff.
13:33You're not going to let me say no, are you? No. I'll see you there.
13:46Yeah, yeah, yeah. Enjoy.
13:48Got it. You're an evil as fuck, dude. This is about Caroline?
13:55When I met you in college, you were a wreck because of Caroline. You're playing a dangerous
13:57game, hiring her as your assistant. You're not trying to pick up where you left off.
13:59She had a kid with Mark, that rich asshole that she left me for, and she didn't even tell me.
14:02He's probably still paying her rent, too. He's one of the youngest billionaires in LA.
14:05Yeah. Yeah, I didn't know. You told me that once, twice, or 7,000 fucking times.
14:09Anyway, I'm a fucking superstar now. I got all the money and women I want, so I'm totally over it.
14:13Yeah, man. Yeah, sure you are. All right. Speaking of all the women you can want, ladies.
14:16Hey, it's Jen. Hey, ladies. How are you doing? I listen to you, sir.
14:19You're just one sexy as fuck. Let's all drink. Cheers to the biggest,
14:24most badass hockey team on the West Coast and our hot new captain. Go Vipers!
14:31Oh, shit. Caroline's here.
14:35What the hell, Juniper? You literally dragged me into my house. Is Caroline here yet?
14:37Wait. Hi. Hello. Oh, shit. Caroline's here. Be cool.
14:41This place has gone so downhill. They didn't use to let straights off the street inside.
14:44I don't know. I think she looks pretty good. I'll dress up like that.
14:46Yeah, right? She looks like a fucking street walker.
14:49Look at those stances. I know, right? Listen, it was much better than her.
14:52Well, it's not a competition, but if it was, I would bet.
14:55Want to learn, ladies? Oh, you said it. I was here.
15:03Keep your fucking hands off her. Keep your fucking hands off her.
15:08Theresa Black. My bad, bro. I didn't know she was taken.
15:10She was making it pretty fucking obvious that she didn't want you to touch her.
15:12Try again and see what happens.
15:14Black, Theresa Black. Get this fucking autograph next time.
15:15Get your fucking boot back, you idiot.
15:17Oh, what am I doing? Why am I letting this happen?
15:21Go ahead. Make some smart-ass comment about how you still can't save the day once again.
15:23I know you want to. I'm all smart-ass comments,
15:26but I'm not going to make any this time. Are you jealous of that guy?
15:31Who? Oh, that weak-ass punk that I just knocked out with?
15:34How? Even breaking a sweat? Nah.
15:36Okay, because if you were, it would be a little hypocritical.
15:39What do you mean? Well, you can have fangirls crawling
15:41over you 24-7, but I can't dance with one guy at a bar.
15:43It just seems unfair. Let's ruin her night,
15:46and then go to such bitches. Let's do it.
15:48Unfair? You want to talk about unfair?
15:50Last time I saw you, you dumped me for some bitch-asshole without any explanation,
15:53and now you're raising his kid. What?
15:57Hayley's Mark's kid, isn't she?
15:59Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday, dear Caroline.
16:05Happy birthday to you. Oops, sorry.
16:09Whatever. What the fuck, Lucinda?
16:10I'm going to go check on her. Sorry, Lucinda.
16:12Looks like you lost this round. Shut the fuck up, Gina.
16:14I can't believe you loved him. Get it together.
16:16You're not going to cry. You're not.
16:17You're going to cry. You're going to cry.
16:23Caroline, are you okay? Obviously not, Easton.
16:26Why can't you just answer the question? What did you do after I left?
16:28Break up with Easton, and you are going to get rid of that baby.
16:30You crazy bipolar bitch. Don't ever fucking call me again.
16:33Easton might as well believe Hayley's Mark's daughter.
16:35It is less painful than explaining the truth.
16:36Why do you want to know so bad? Are you still that pissed off that I dumped you eight years ago?
16:39You know, you act so self-righteous, Carol. But don't forget, you're the one who immediately
16:41hopped into bed with your ex after you dumped me. And if you're too brave to admit that,
16:45then you're weaker than I thought. I don't know a goddamn thing about you, Easton.
16:51You're right. We're different people now. Here, before you go.
16:57What are you doing? What?
16:58Put this on. You don't need to go back out there looking like that, okay?
17:02Thanks. What is that?
17:07It's my own family heirloom. It's my lucky charm. I put it on before every date.
17:15Thank you. No, it's nothing I've never seen before, Carol.
17:21It is nothing. You're going to see it again, Easton.
17:24What, is that a promise or is that a threat? Hello?
17:29Hey, I'm dreaming it. You must know.
17:35You awake? I'll meet you next at 6 o'clock, okay?
17:37It's just me taking care of Hailey right now. Things have been pretty tight.
17:39But if we are going to continue to work together,
17:40let's just agree to keep things professional between us, okay?
17:43All right. If that's what you want, Carol.
17:48How long has Mike been out of the picture? Did she raise her daughter all alone?
17:54Ow, I haven't been this hungover in ever. Sounds like the sign of a great birthday.
17:59Sorry, I couldn't make it before shit hit the fan.
18:01Yeah, it's fine. It happens.
18:03Any word from Easton? No, he just texted.
18:11No, please. No, thank you. Men, all pigs.
18:19Hey, I need your boys to do me a little favor.
18:22Hey, hey, hey, there's my favorite fuckbunny. Where's my coffee?
18:25I don't work for you. Get your own coffee.
18:26Okay, how about a kiss instead? Ooh, me next.
18:28Hey, Carolyn, so are you really working for Easton or are you just like working?
18:31Hey, asshole, if I kill you, are you really dead dead or just not breathing?
18:33Ooh. What the fuck's going on here?
18:36Just trying to get the hockey stick out of your little assistant's ass.
18:40Jesus, man, calm down. We're just having a little fun with her.
18:42Oh, yeah? Anyone else want to have a little fun?
18:45Anyone else want to have a little fun?
18:47Carolyn's not your mate or your punching bag. She's my assistant,
18:49which means she's just as part of the team as the rest of us,
18:50and you'll treat her with respect or else you're gonna end up like Rex over here.
18:53So I suggest you all get your head out of your asses and get the fuck out.
18:56Come on, get the fuck out, get your gloves. What are you doing?
18:58Get out of here. I take that back, you know.
19:01Yeah, what's that?
19:02Calling you weak. Carolyn, you just stood up to three of the meanest players in the NHL.
19:05That was sick.
19:06I told you, Easton, you don't know a goddamn thing about me.
19:08I know one thing about you. It's how stubborn you are.
19:10You haven't changed a bit over the last eight years. That's what I love most about you.
19:16You should probably get that bandage, Tom. One thing about having a kid,
19:20every bag you carry turns into a whole ass emergency kit.
19:22It's so badass, you know, how you're raising Hayley by yourself.
19:24Does your grandma help you at all or?
19:26No, she passed before I graduated.
19:30I'm sorry, Carolyn.
19:32But I have Juniper now, and she's amazing. She's like a sister to me.
19:36And I guess it is pretty cool that you made it to the pros.
19:41Got everything you've ever dreamed of.
19:45I don't have everything.
19:48I don't have everything.
19:52I can't.
19:54Why?
19:57Carolyn, is there something you're not telling me?
19:59I wish you would just tell me, please.
20:00I can't. I can't go there, okay? Not yet.
20:04Easton, you're needed.
20:08I gotta go.
20:10Thank you for the bandage.
20:10You're welcome.
20:15So, Beastie, wanna grab drinks?
20:16Nah, I got something I gotta do today.
20:17Okay. What do you got this afternoon?
20:19You got your secrets. I got mine, all right?
20:21All right.
20:21Mark Downey. Easton Black. What the fuck is up, man?
20:25I don't know. God, do you think about me?
20:27If you won't tell me the whole story, Carol, then I'm gonna find out for myself.
20:30Get home safe, Caroline.
20:37I'm a huge fan, bro. Take a seat. Let me pour you some of the good stuff.
20:44What the fuck you doing here, man?
20:47I'm here to see you, man.
20:48What the fuck you doing here, man?
20:51I'm actually here to talk to you about Caroline Mills.
20:53Shit. What's that crazy bitch up to these days?
20:56Oh, no hard feelings, by the way.
20:57I know she dumped you for me, but dodged a major fucking bullet.
21:01Did it end badly?
21:02End? It didn't even start.
21:04She broke up with me five minutes after she wanted to get back together.
21:06She's a fucking psycho.
21:07She didn't say that, am I right?
21:08Wait, so that means Hailey's not yours?
21:12Hailey? Who the fuck is Hailey?
21:14Hailey's Caroline's eight-year-old daughter.
21:16Do you not know this?
21:18If Hailey isn't Mark's, then who's the father?
21:20Why would I?
21:20She's not like kids of mine.
21:21Virgin bitch never put out for me.
21:22What'd she say?
21:23Whoa, whoa, whoa.
21:24Our hockey players were temperamental, but damn.
21:26You know, now that I'm thinking about it, Caroline was hot as fuck.
21:30Maybe I should call her.
21:32Still see her around?
21:33How's the body after the baby?
21:36I'm gonna bounce back, okay?
21:39You're just as psycho as Caroline, bro.
21:41You two deserve each other.
21:44Grab her, let's go.
21:45Get her, let's go.
21:45What? Hey, get out. What do you want?
21:46We're gonna teach you a lesson.
21:53Mark isn't Hailey's dad.
21:54Why couldn't she tell me?
21:55Could she be?
21:58Please don't hurt me.
21:59I am a daughter.
22:00It's not our problem, lady.
22:03You fucked with the wrong one.
22:07You want to die today, too?
22:10Then you're lucky I'm being generous.
22:11Caroline, are you okay?
22:15We're gonna find out who did this, okay?
22:16But in the meantime,
22:17you're not leaving here on your own again.
22:19I won't let that happen.
22:20So I'm fine, I'm just a little, uh,
22:21freaking out right now.
22:22Hey, hey.
22:23Let's get you home, all right?
22:27This isn't exactly professional.
22:29I won't tell if you won't tell.
22:33This is me.
22:36Thank you for saving my ass.
22:38Again.
22:38Anytime.
22:40Carol?
22:42I know you and Mark didn't get back together a few years ago.
22:45What do you want me to say?
22:46Easton.
22:47But you're not ready to go there right now, okay?
22:49What are you hiding from me?
22:51Money!
22:53Money!
22:53Hello!
22:54Mr. Easton, what are you doing here?
22:56Your mom here was actually having some car troubles,
22:57so I was helping her out.
22:58Car trouble?
22:59Everything okay?
23:00Yes, it is.
23:00Totally fine.
23:01Well, I think that it is time for Easton to go.
23:03Yeah?
23:04Or he can stay for dinner.
23:07I am Juniper, Carol's best friend.
23:09So nice to meet you.
23:09I've heard wonderful things.
23:10I mean, I think Easton's pretty busy.
23:12Right? He can stay for dinner.
23:12Isn't that right?
23:13No.
23:13I never turn down free food.
23:15You're not running away from this, Carol.
23:16Sooner or later, you're gonna have to tell me the truth.
23:18Come on, Mom.
23:19You're always saying you need more friends.
23:21Thanks for that, sweetie.
23:24Okay, show him inside then.
23:27It's crazy how much she looks like you.
23:30She looks like you too.
23:37So, what's your favorite color, Mr. Easton?
23:41Blue.
23:42Mine's pink.
23:43Never would have guessed.
23:45Blue is my second favorite.
23:46Oh, do you like dogs?
23:47I love them.
23:47I've always wanted one.
23:48Me too.
23:49What a coincidence.
23:52So, Mr. Easton, how come you keep showing up?
23:53Do you work with Mommy?
23:54Are you her friend?
23:55Can we just go on with the questions, please, Hayley?
23:56Hey, I don't mind.
23:58No, your mom's one of my old friends.
23:59She's just doing a little work for me right now.
24:00Oh, yeah, you're a viper, right?
24:02I'm amazing on the ice.
24:03Mommy says when I get older, I could be a figure skater.
24:05I might even be a better skater than you.
24:08I'm definitely better than Mommy.
24:09Oh, I believe it.
24:11She always was pretty unsteady on the skates.
24:13I wonder where you get all your talent from.
24:14Probably my dad.
24:17You okay?
24:18Yeah, I'm fine.
24:20I'm gonna, um, I'm gonna just get this out of the way.
24:22Okay.
24:26Okay, get it together, Caroline.
24:27We either need to tell him Hayley's a daughter now
24:28or get him the fuck out of this house before he realizes it himself.
24:31Everything okay?
24:32Yeah, all good.
24:33Sorry, I'm in and out.
24:35Caro, Easton.
24:36Bye.
24:37Bye.
24:37All right, I've got to get Hayley to bed, so can you show yourself out?
24:40I don't want him to leave.
24:41I want Mr. Easton to read me a bedtime story.
24:43I'd love to.
24:44That is, if it's all right with your mom.
24:46Please, Mommy, please.
24:47I want him to read me a bedtime story.
24:52Fine.
24:53Yay, thank you.
24:53Fine, go ahead.
24:57And year after year, with his eyes shut tight,
25:00he would feel the breeze of the changing seasons.
25:07Good night, Hayley.
25:08Good night, Mr. Easton.
25:11Um, now, what do you want, Easton?
25:24Because I can't give that to you right now, okay?
25:26I don't think you know what I want, Caro.
25:28Eight years ago, you told me that I wouldn't make the pros,
25:30and now I completely forget about you.
25:32Never gonna be the star that you think you are, Easton.
25:34We're done.
25:35No, I don't know why it is that you think I'm such an immature asshole
25:37and only want hockey and women in fame.
25:39I mean, I could be out at the club
25:40hooking up with random girls right now and getting shit-faced,
25:41but I'm not.
25:42I'm here with you.
25:43Well, congratulations.
25:44On that, what do you want, a medal?
25:45Another trophy for your collection?
25:47No, I just want you to talk to me, Caro.
25:49Do you think it was a mistake letting me go all those years ago?
25:51Break up with Easton, and you are gonna get rid of that baby, or else.
25:55No.
25:57No, it was the best thing I ever did.
25:59Can you go now?
26:00I'm tired.
26:00God, this girl.
26:01God, this guy.
26:02Fine, if that's the way you want it.
26:07Best thing she ever did.
26:08She can't be serious with this shit.
26:09I'm a fucking star now, and I'm giving her everything that she ever wanted,
26:11just like I promised her eight years ago.
26:13She gave up on us.
26:14Now she doesn't even have the decency to give me an explanation.
26:16I don't want to hear this, man, but it sounds like you're still in love with her.
26:19Well, I mean, why would I love someone who never loved me back, you know?
26:23Like, someone who dumped me for some loser asshole who didn't even care about her.
26:26I don't know, man.
26:27I think she did love you.
26:28How the fuck do you know that?
26:30Because of the way she looks at you now, it seems like she still does.
26:34And I think I have an idea.
26:36No, I know.
26:36I practically shoved him out the door, but...
26:38I don't know.
26:39Part of me wishes I would've just stayed.
26:40Caroline Mills, you call 9-1-1 back right now.
26:44Oh, it's a recording.
26:45It says it's closed?
26:46Mm-hmm.
26:47Aren't they open 24-7?
26:48Not anymore, I guess.
26:49Look, we've both had a long day.
26:51We could both use some sleep.
26:52Can I just crash on your couch, please?
26:57Listen...
26:57Hey, that way, I can still make sure you're okay tomorrow from the accident.
27:00I could even make you breakfast.
27:01Oh, wow.
27:02Okay, well, as incredible as that sounds,
27:03I stopped eating Pop-Tarts like five years ago, so...
27:05Oh, come on.
27:05I mean a real breakfast.
27:08Come on, I promise I won't leave the couch.
27:09Juniper probably stays there all the time.
27:10Mm-hmm.
27:11Yeah, she does, but Juniper's my friend.
27:13And I'm not your friend?
27:17He came back this time,
27:18and he's not letting me push him away.
27:19Maybe he really has changed.
27:21Maybe...
27:22In the morning, I can finally tell him.
27:25Fine, you can stay.
27:27I have some pictures under the sink if you need.
27:28Okay, please don't burn my house down.
27:29Okay?
27:36I wish I was out there with him.
27:39Hey, look.
27:42Where's your mom?
27:43She's sleeping.
27:46You want to help me make breakfast?
27:47Yeah.
27:49All right, now pour a little bit of milk.
27:51Here we go.
27:51Okay, I got it.
27:52No, stop.
27:54Hey.
27:56Oh, no.
27:56Oh, no.
27:56I messed up.
27:57Yeah, not as soupy as it was.
28:09Haley?
28:17Haley, where is all this?
28:19We made you pancakes, mommy.
28:20We made Mr. Easton.
28:22We made you pancakes, mommy.
28:23We made Mr. Easton.
28:24You did?
28:25Try one.
28:25We made them with lots of love and extra chocolate chips.
28:29Yum, delicious.
28:31You know, I'm amazed that you found the time
28:32to go be a big hockey star and learn how to cook.
28:34How does he do it?
28:36I told you, I've grown up more than you think, Carol.
28:38But Haley was a huge help.
28:40She's a great kid, Carol.
28:41I mean, of course she is.
28:42She's your kid.
28:43All I know is that he can never find out that he has a daughter.
28:47Well, I'm gonna go get changed while you two clean up a little bit.
28:50Then we can dig in.
28:52Let's get you cleaned up before we get in trouble.
28:53Yeah.
28:56You have an earthmark on your neck.
28:57Yeah, you do too.
29:04Are you okay, Mr. Easton?
29:07Haley, I'm sorry.
29:09I need to go.
29:12Whoa, I just turned the door closed.
29:14Did Easton just leave?
29:16Yeah.
29:18I can't wait any longer.
29:19As soon as we have a moment alone, I'm telling Easton the truth.
29:23So let me get this straight.
29:24You think Haley is your child, but instead of talking to Caroline about it, you just left?
29:27He just left without saying anything?
29:29Yeah, there has to be some emergency here.
29:31I didn't know what to do, bro.
29:32Like, I could have confronted her with Haley just sitting right there.
29:34God, why didn't she tell me?
29:37Why didn't you say anything when you had the chance?
29:38Only Caroline can answer that, dude.
29:39You have to sit down and you have to talk to her.
29:41Enough is enough, Caro.
29:42You have to tell her the truth.
29:47Easton?
29:48Caro, we need to talk.
29:49Give me a minute, she'll be down in a half hour.
29:52Yeah, I'll be there.
29:57Easton, I have something I have to tell you.
29:59About fucking time.
30:00Excuse me?
30:01Do you think I've been living under a rock, Caroline?
30:02Seriously, I may play hockey, but I'm not stupid.
30:04I know that.
30:05Don't you think it's a little weird
30:06that Haley called me daddy the first time that I met her, huh?
30:08And she's super into hockey, too.
30:09Caroline, she has the same goddamn birthmark that I have.
30:11Easton, you don't know what happened, okay?
30:12I went and talked to Mark yesterday.
30:14What?
30:15You went to go see my ex on hockey class?
30:15What the hell was I supposed to do?
30:16You weren't telling me anything, Caroline.
30:17Caroline, wait!
30:19Wait.
30:20Just tell me the truth.
30:22Just say it.
30:23Just say it.
30:25Haley's your daughter, Easton.
30:29Why didn't you tell me?
30:31Huh?
30:32Why did you keep this from me for eight fucking years?
30:34Caroline, tell me.
30:35Why did you leave me?
30:36Huh?
30:37You are going to break up with Easton,
30:39and you are going to get rid of that baby, or else.
30:42What, did you think that I couldn't handle being a father?
30:43Did you think that I would really leave you?
30:45Leave our child?
30:46Go off and fuck around with some stupid hockey groupies?
30:47Is that it?
30:48You did.
30:51You may not have known that I was pregnant, but you did leave me.
30:55You went off to college, and you never even looked back.
30:57No texts, no calls.
31:00You forgot about me, and I waited.
31:03Oh, for nine months, I waited for something, for anything from you.
31:05A message.
31:07I waited in the hospital bed for 12 hours, in labor.
31:12Staring at the door, hoping that by some miracle, you would walk through it.
31:16I know I should have told you about Haley.
31:17I know that, and I regret not telling you every day of my fucking life.
31:22I thought you left me for Mark.
31:23I thought you left me for a reason.
31:24That you, that you didn't love me.
31:26Easton, we're done.
31:29No, and then you just let me walk away with him.
31:31You didn't even try to fight for me.
31:33Well, I'm fighting for you now.
31:35Well, I'm fighting for you now.
31:42This reminds me of the night before you left.
31:43Yeah, we were last night together.
31:46I think about that all the time, Kara.
31:47You know, sometimes, sometimes I honestly feel like,
31:50I feel like that was the last time I was truly happy, you know?
31:51Before I saw you again.
31:53Before I found out about Haley.
31:55Easton, you became the youngest MVP in the league.
31:57You made millions.
31:59You're a star, Easton.
32:01Yeah, I know.
32:02And you know, every time that I score a big goal,
32:04every time that I get good news,
32:06all I want to do is call and tell you.
32:08Kara, I knew that you were working at the Vipers' rink.
32:10I knew that I had to see you again.
32:11Because eight years ago, you told me that I wouldn't be successful.
32:13You told me that I would forget about you.
32:15But I can't.
32:17I just can't.
32:18And I've worked my ass off to become the kind of man that you'd want to stay with.
32:21The kind of man that, the kind of man that you'd want to raise a child with.
32:24You are.
32:26I'm proud of you.
32:27Easton, I am so proud of you.
32:29Does this mean that you want to pick up where we left off?
32:32Nah.
32:33Look, Easton, before you came back, my life, it was hard.
32:37But it was simple.
32:38And all I had Haley, I had Juni, and I was finally starting to get over you.
32:45Why'd you have to come back now?
32:46Well, isn't it obvious, Caroline?
32:48I'm still totally, I'm totally completely in love with you, Caroline.
32:52Easton, there's something else that I have to tell you.
32:54It doesn't matter.
32:55You don't even need to say anything.
32:56I need you.
32:57I want you, Caroline.
32:59I want you.
33:21God, I miss this.
33:29I feel like we're 16 again.
33:36Like no time's passed at all.
33:39Carol, why did you walk away back then?
33:41Because whatever the reason is, I need to know.
33:43Because I'm sure as hell not losing you ever again.
33:45And you are going to get rid of that baby, or else.
33:49I was young and impressionable and stupid.
33:55And I didn't want to hold you back.
34:00I'm sorry I didn't tell you about Haley.
34:01Sorry for all of those lost years.
34:03But we were babies.
34:04Easton, I'd known you for one summer.
34:06God, I was so sure that you were the one.
34:10But then I got pregnant, and I don't know, I just started to question everything.
34:17I never had a single doubt about you, Carol.
34:19My only regret is that I didn't tell you.
34:21And that I didn't beat Mark's ass right then and there.
34:26We lost a lot of time together.
34:27No.
34:28We have a lot to catch up on, so it's a good thing that we're starting now.
34:34What?
34:35What are you thinking about?
34:36How the hell are we going to break the news to Haley?
34:40Go, go, go!
34:41The Vipers are looking great out there.
34:43They're definitely going to win the first game tomorrow.
34:44We better.
34:45You know, the Rhinos are a tough team.
34:46And if we lose, then I worry the guys are going to lose trust in me
34:48before I even have a chance to prove myself as captain.
34:49Hey, I have all the faith in the world in you, Easton, okay?
34:57Thanks, Carol.
34:59I want you and Haley there as my VIP guests tomorrow.
35:02You'd be honored.
35:03And I was also thinking that maybe we tell Haley after the game tomorrow.
35:08It'll be perfect, because while we'll be together,
35:09the spirits are going to be high, hopefully.
35:11They will.
35:12It seems as good a time as any to do it.
35:14Yeah.
35:15I think you're right.
35:15The longer we wait, the harder it'll be, right?
35:18Question is, what do we say to her?
35:21I was thinking that we go,
35:23Surprise, I'm your dad!
35:24Okay, okay.
35:25I think the spirit there is really good,
35:26but we might need to work on the delivery just a little bit.
35:28Damn.
35:30Caroline Mills is Easton Black's baby mama?
35:33Oh, she is going down.
35:36Yeah.
35:37Um, hi.
35:38Okay, what is all of this?
35:40Today is the biggest day of Easton's career.
35:41We have a lot of work to do, babe.
35:42Okay, what do you mean by we?
35:43I may or may not have gotten a little VIP invite to the game today, too.
35:46Okay, by who?
35:47Ziggy.
35:50You are not the only one who can pull a hockey player.
35:51No!
35:56If it will get dark, you'll be my million stars.
35:58I know I can lead you.
36:00I'm excited to meet you.
36:02Both of these shirts are you.
36:04My backpack is kind of fitting on you.
36:06My heart is on the table.
36:08I want to marry you.
36:10I can't marry you.
36:12I do.
36:14A card from Miss Caroline Mills.
36:16Courtesy of Easton Black.
36:18Oh, we are traveling in style, ladies.
36:20It looks like Easton thought of everything.
36:22Do you want to get in?
36:24I'll be here any minute.
36:26Junie runs a tight show.
36:28Junie? Huh.
36:30You guys already have a nickname basis, huh?
36:32Thank you for inviting us, Mr. Easton.
36:34I'm so glad you guys came.
36:36We wouldn't mess up the world.
36:38Let's head out. Let's get out of here.
36:40Cheers!
36:42What the fuck?
36:44Hello, we are reporting to you live
36:46from the side of the ice rink today.
36:48I have to go back out on the ice.
36:50If anyone gives you a hard time, just give me a call.
36:52Okay. Good luck out there.
36:54Make it like Mr. Easton.
36:56Not literally, though. Please.
36:58Let's get out of here.
37:00Great to see you again.
37:02That slimy little bitch.
37:04She might have warmed her way to the big leagues with Easton,
37:06but I'm about to blow up her fairytale at Wending.
37:08We have Easton Black here today.
37:10What do you think we can expect from him?
37:12He was a very dominant player in college,
37:14and he'll be looking to continue that dominance in the pros.
37:16Looks like we have quite the excited fan here.
37:18We will be back with you momentarily.
37:20Here we go.
37:50And there you have it, folks.
37:52That is the game.
37:54Three to zero.
37:56A complete shutout for the Vipers,
37:58thanks to superstar Easton Black.
38:00That was so incredible.
38:02You're so incredible.
38:04Easton, how does it feel to win the game for your daughter?
38:06My daughter?
38:08My daughter?
38:10Yes, how does it feel to be here with your family?
38:12Easton, is it true? Is this really your daughter?
38:14What is her name, and is this the baby mama?
38:16Did you talk to someone?
38:19Come on, Caroline.
38:25Is Mr. Easton really my daddy?
38:30Is Mr. Easton really my daddy?
38:32You told me my daddy was gone.
38:34You told me Mr. Easton was just a friend.
38:36I did.
38:38Hayley, there is something I haven't told you.
38:40Easton is...
38:42Your father.
38:44Mommy, I want to go home.
38:46I'm going to fix this, okay?
38:50Who would have thought?
38:52Some poor, boring, pain-in-my-ass, single mom
38:54is Easton Black's baby mama?
38:56Hayley, baby, I need you to go wait right over here for me.
38:58I need you to cover your ears and close your eyes as tight as you can, alright?
39:02You leaked the news, didn't you?
39:04Of course I did.
39:06What the hell were you thinking bringing my daughter into this?
39:08This is my life, my family.
39:10What about my life?
39:12The hockey star is supposed to want me, not some broke bitch
39:14in her stupid bra top.
39:16No, you do not talk about Hayley like that!
39:18You stole my chance to tell my daughter about her father.
39:20You fucked with me and my family.
39:22But you won't bring me down, bitch.
39:30Lucinda!
39:32Hey!
39:34What are you doing?
39:36She assaulted Carolyn.
39:38And she's the one who broke the news, not me and Easton.
39:40I bet she's the one who sent the thugs on you, too.
39:42I'm still your daughter, right?
39:44Yes.
39:46No! Dad! I'm supposed to be me!
39:48I'm supposed to be the high-fiving girlfriend!
39:50Dad!
39:52I'm supposed to be the high-fiving girlfriend!
39:56Yes, you are.
39:58Easton, your personal life is none of my business.
40:00Especially when you play the way you played today.
40:02Good job at that. Now, if you're up for it,
40:04when you get back in, do a proper, close game interview. What do you say?
40:06Just give me a minute, coach.
40:08You got it. And I'm sorry for that.
40:10That's right.
40:12Thanks, coach.
40:14Are you okay?
40:16I mean, I'm better than Lucinda.
40:18Well, she had that coming.
40:20Carolyn, I never realized how much of a badass you actually are.
40:22I can't believe I ever called you weak.
40:24I know! I will literally never let you live that down.
40:30Oh my god, Hailey!
40:32Thanks for saving my mommy today.
40:34Of course, of course. Were you scared?
40:36A little, but I feel better now.
40:38But, you know, whatever you're feeling right now,
40:40we're always here for you, okay?
40:42It's okay. I'm just happy the daddy from my dream is real.
40:44If you're my dad now,
40:46does that mean you and mommy are getting married?
40:48Um, you know what?
40:50Easton and I have a lot we still need to talk about.
40:52Yes! What?
40:56Easton!
40:58Mom, what are you doing here?
41:00It's good to see you too, son.
41:02Can you take this?
41:04You remember Carolyn, right?
41:06Of course! How could I forget?
41:08Step up! Break up with Easton,
41:10and you are going to get rid of that baby, or else.
41:12And that must be her daughter.
41:14Our daughter.
41:16You went through with the pregnancy after all.
41:18How did you know that Carolyn was pregnant?
41:20I paid her off.
41:22I paid her off to dump you and get rid of the baby.
41:24I told her that if she didn't,
41:26I would make you believe that she got pregnant to trap you.
41:28Wait, wait.
41:30To ruin your life and your career.
41:32So you just came back here to what?
41:34And destroy my relationship again.
41:36How could you?
41:38Carolyn, why didn't you tell me?
41:40All this time, I thought
41:42you stopped believing in me, that you changed your mind about me,
41:44that you've fallen out of love with me.
41:46I could have rejected the money, and I could have come to you
41:48and I could have told you what happened and begged you to stay with me, but come on, let's face it.
41:50If you had stayed, you never would have become the man you are today.
41:52Do I wish I hadn't lost eight years with you?
41:54Yes.
41:56I wish I could have met her dad sooner. Of course I do.
41:58But, we needed that time
42:00to grow old,
42:02think about what we want, and then at the perfect time, come back together.
42:06I don't agree with what you did.
42:08I never will.
42:10But I do forgive you.
42:12That's very generous, Carolyn.
42:14I'm sorry, but I can't.
42:16Easton, can we speak for a moment?
42:18I know,
42:20nothing I do can ever really make up for my mistakes.
42:22I came here today to remind you of something.
42:26How did you know about that?
42:28I found it in the trash
42:30the day Carolyn broke up with you.
42:34I found it by my bed the next morning.
42:36It was the one who put it there.
42:38I knew as soon as I saw it I made a mistake,
42:40but I was too ashamed to admit what I did.
42:42I knew if it was meant to be, you would keep it,
42:44and you would find your love again.
42:46I'd like to meet my granddaughter sometime,
42:48when the time is right.
42:50Good job today, son.
42:58Can I finish what you started?
43:00I have a better idea.
43:02On the ice today, we-
43:04Go ahead, ask me another question.
43:06Easton, you played such an incredible game today.
43:08What inspired this?
43:10Having my daughter in the love of my life by my side.
43:16Caroline Mills,
43:18will you marry me?
43:20Yes!
43:22Yes!
43:24I knew you guys would get married.
43:28Swanky charm.
43:30How long have you had this?
43:32Eight years. I've had it since I left for college.
43:34I knew then that I wanted to be with you forever.
43:36I know it's a little small now.
43:38I wasn't exactly making millions back then.
43:40But I promise I'm going to upgrade this one.
43:42No, don't you dare. It's perfect.
43:52You got me a present?
43:54A special one. Can I open it?
43:56Yes, go for it.
44:00You got me a jersey with your name on it?
44:02Can I try it on? Absolutely, go for it.
44:06I got you a present too. What?
44:08Close your eyes, and hold your hand.
44:14The keys to a new house.
44:16Our new house.
44:18Mommy, Daddy, look, it fits perfectly!
44:20It does!
44:22I can't tell you how long I've been waiting for you to call me Daddy.
44:24I don't have to.
44:26I love you too, Carol.
