All language subtitles for Rescuing Madison

- Cynthia montana here,
gossip news network.

Well, these l.A. Fans are
anxiously awaiting a glimpse

Of madison park,
who after a six-Year hiatus

Is about to commence
her first big tour

Since her multi-Platinum
comeback album still here.

A teen star at 16,
madison took the world by storm

As a part of "touch,"
a group of five singers

That spawned not only her
career, but the career

Of jordan vanderpool,
who she was romantically

Linked with for years.

But like everything else,
that faded like her career,

Until powerhouse manager
rad leffler resuscitated

Her career taking madison from
failed pop star to diva

With one spectacular album.

And now at 28, she's set to fill
arenas and stadiums.

Once again, i'm cynthia montana,
gossip news network.

Welcome to los angeles.

Follow the illuminated overhead
signs to baggage claim,

Ground transportation,
and all current

And hotel shuttle pickup
locations.

- Rad's having cows.

You were supposed to go
to the baggage claim.

- He can have a cow.

- I told her
she had to do it, jess.

It's expected of a superstar.

She said,
"no, that's enough for me."

- Can we stop with the
superstar references, please?

I've heard that enough times
from my mother

To last me a lifetime.

And worse,
i believed it.

- You weren't that bad.

- What are you talking about,
jess?

I fired you one time because you
let them put orange soda

In my dressing room.

I was horrible.
- Never.

You've never been anything
but my best friend.

You're such a liar.

- You've never been horrible
to me.

- Madison, what happened?
Sweetheart, come on.

I had media and screaming fans
waiting for you.

- And i told you not to do that.

I just want to go
straight to the hotel.

- Fine.
Done.

Oh, and jess, you need to pick
up your game a little bit, girl.

Come on,
get with the program.

- Mmm.
I need a night off.

- You just had six years off,
don't you think that's enough?

- I just want to sing.

- You will in front
of a packed house.

- And then on a smaller venue
that i like?

- It's all part of the strategy.

They can pay to see you sing
outdoors in front of thousands

Of people or they can pay three
times as much tonight

Watching you cut a live album.

- Yeah, i still think
it's too soon for a live album.

I mean, i just started
my comeback.

I wish you'd listen to me.

- And that's why you're
the singer and i'm the manager.

Cha-Ching.

- Back.

Back.

That's good.

- Hey, johnny boy.
You got a visitor.

Real cute too.

- I'm not falling for that one
again, billy.

- If you don't talk to her,
i will.

Seriously, no problem.

Should really check it out.

- Hey, john.
- Hey, cap.

- Didn't billy tell you
your sister's here?

- Oh, i told him, cap.

He just decided to ignore me
on this one.

- Come here for a second,
i want to show you some--

- I don't wanna talk about it.

Hey, sis.
- Hey.

- You okay?

- I missed you.
I wanted to see you.

- I just had dinner
with you last night.

- Well, it's just i--

- What is it?
- $1,800.

- Are you in trouble?

- Kinda.
It's life or death.

- Well, what is it?
Talk to me.

- Madison park tickets,
for her concert tonight.

- I'm not giving you 1,800 bucks
to go see some singer.

- Then give me $600 so i can go
by myself.

- For one ticket?

- I told you,
it's madison park.

- I have no idea who she is.
I can't help you, i'm sorry.

Go home, do your homework.

- Like you did your homework?

- And ride carefully.
- Uh-Huh.

- I love you, too.

- ™� only to fall,
why did i ever think ♪

™� we could have it all ♪

- She's so good.
- Yup.

I'm glad her head's on straight
this time.

- ™� why did i ever think ♪

- Madison,
i need a couple approvals.

- Okay.
Oh.

All right.
Let me see.

- Does she talk
to her mother at all?

- They talk.
Not very often.

- I have only one rule
in this life.

Never go into business
with family.

- That's a good rule.
- Hmm.

And rad?
He's better?

- Different.
He did revive her career,

Gave her an amazing
second chance.

It doesn't mean
i have to like him.

- Yeah, just tell them that this
song doesn't follow this.

- Absolutely.

- Uh, so, yeah.

If we can just change that,
that'd be good.

- Rad leffler, go.

- Hey, rad.
Stephen stan,

Jordan vanderpool's manager.

- Oh, stephen.
Look, whatever it is you want,

I don't have time right now.
- Wait a minute.

You don't even want to hear
what i have to say?

- Okay, you have 30 seconds.

I have to get back to madison.

- With madison
so hot right now,

I thought we could generate
some mega p.R.

By placing jordan
in one of madison's shows.

- I don't mean to be rude, okay?
But we don't need a has-Been

Whose last hit was over
two years ago weighing us down.

- Rad.
- I'm sorry.

- Yeah, but--

Really?

Sold out, baby!

So are we good
or we good?

- I'm good.

This place reminds me
of the venues

That i used to play
when i first started.

- Oh, i know, i know.

We're only here
for the acoustics.

We will never sing
in a joint like this again.

- I didn't know you sang.

- Okay, nobody comes in and out
of here, all right?

I want her to get some rest.

- Oh, i'm right here.
You can talk to me.

- Ah, that reminds me.

Before you hear it somewhere
else, jordan vanderpool's

Manager called me trying
to force jordan into our little

Show here, something about
a surprise duet.

- I don't mind that.
Sounds like fun.

We used to have good chemistry
on stage.

- Uh, if he was significant in
the business still, then maybe.

- Well, a year ago, i wasn't
significant in the business.

- And enter rad leffler.

Look, don't even worry
about it.

I told him
we weren't interested.

What--What are you doing?
- What?

- Please don't call him.
No.

- Give me my phone.

- Just focus on the show,
please, okay?

I don't want distractions.

- Rad, i'm not 16 anymore.

- And your mommy isn't your
manager, okay? I am.

And i'm doing a pretty good job
if you let me.

- Yes, you're right.
Thank you.

- Come here.

I want you to take a nap, okay?

Get some rest.
- Okay.

- We have a big show tonight.

And you, a little less this,
okay?

Thank you.

- He's right.

What jordan did,
why would you wanna help him?

- Because we're friends, jess.

I mean, we still talk every once
in a while.

It's not like i'm into him
or anything like that.

We're just friends.

- Really?
Is that why you haven't dated

Anybody since you and jordan
broke it off?

- That is not true.
I went on a couple dates.

It's just that both of those
guys wanted "their" version

Of what they thought what
madison park was and not me.

- So, you're saying you want

Someone who doesn't know
who you are?

- Yeah.
Kinda.

What are they doing?

- She's gonna try
to get some sleep.

You want to get some fresh air?
- I think i should stay.

- Come on, she's good.
You'll have enough to do later.

- Okay.

Let's go.

- What's going on
with the lights?

- Hmm, 'sup with those lights?

- Hmm.

- So what are you doing
tomorrow night?

I need a wingman.
You up for it?

- Sorry, supposed to have dinner
with the parents.

- Dinner?
Parents?

Pathetic.

Say hi for me.

- Got the set list?
- Yeah.

- Company 3,
fire alarm at civic auditorium.

Please respond.
- 10-4.

- Load up.

- Come on. Come on.
This way.

Get going.

- What's going on?

- There's a fire
in the building, sir.

Just please back up.
- What do you mean a fire?

Madison park is in there.
- Sir, let--Sir.

Let us do our job.

- Madison park is in there and
you got to her out, now!

- Keep your distance.

We'll take care of it,
all right?

- I thought i told you
to wait with her!

Just go get her!

- Am i the luckiest woman
in the world or what?

- This way, this way.
- Oh, my gosh.

- Quickly.

She's got to be down here
in one of these rooms.

- Get this, jake.

- That's madison park.
- Oh, i see her.

That is madison park.

- Jake, we're live.

This is cynthia montana here,
live from the scene.

They've just pulled madison park
out of a burning building.

It appears that she's breathing
and will be okay.

We'll bring you more details
as this story develops.

- Oh, baby.

- We're here, all right?

We're gonna meet you
at the hospital, okay?

- I'm here, girl.
- It's okay, baby.

- Back up, back up.

- Move out of the way.
Let us get a shot.

Thank you.

Thank you for saving me.

- Get in there.

- We'll meet you there,
sweetheart.

We're gonna meet you there.

It's gonna be all right.

We'll be right behind you,
sweetheart, okay?

Vernon, go get the car.

All right, all of you,
back up, back up.

- Yeah, all right, back it up.
Back up.

- Here's how the dramatic rescue
unfolded.

A brave firefighter pulls
a panicked and terrified

Madison park
from a fire backstage

At the civic center
concert hall.

And that's not where
it ended.

Grateful for putting his own
life at risk to save hers,

She thanks him
with a tender embrace.

We'll keep you updated on this
story as it progresses.

I'm cynthia montana, gnn.

- Tender?
I think you could've collapsed

A lung with that hug.

- That is great.

Madison you were so great.
There was 500 people there.

- How is almost dying in a fire
great, rad?

This is awesome.
- Hello?

- Hey, jess,
it's jordan.

Is madison okay?
- Yeah, she's fine.

- Can she talk?
- Who is that?

- It's jordan.
- No, no, no, no. Hang up.

- Rad.

- Hey, jordan.
- Hey, are you all right?

What happened?

- It's fine, i'll live.

- John.
John, our fireman hero.

John, how does it feel to have
saved madison park's life?

- I'm just glad she's okay.

- Where are you?

- Well, i'm in a hospital.

It's just for precaution.

I'll be out soon.

- Hey, man, thank you
for saving our girl.

All right?
One second.

Hey, you guys, that fireman guy
is here to see madison.

- Send him in.

- Listen, i should go.

The firefighter that rescued me
is here.

- Okay, well, i'll be by
to see you tomorrow.

Hello?

- Rad leffler,
i'm madison's manager.

If you need anything,
you come to me, okay?

- I was just doing my job.
- Thank you for that.

- Hi.
- Hi.

- I'm john kelly.
Remember me?

- How could she forget?

- It's very nice
to officially meet you.

- I came to see
how you're doing.

- Oh, i've been better.

The doctors say that i can't
sing for a couple weeks

At least because of the smoke.

- You cancelled your show?

- No, no, no.
We just postponed it.

She's gonna be fine.

- Well, you should rest.

- Listen, if there's anything
that i could do

To say thank you--

- I'm just glad you're okay.

- Thank you, fireman john.

- Absolutely.
- Okay?

- Okay.
- I appreciate it.

- What about dinner?

I mean, you do eat, right?

Sure.

I do, i eat.

Well, then it could just be
the two of us?

- Sure.
- Great.

- You can reach me
at the firehouse.

- Mm-Hmm.

- Perfect.

- We will be in touch.

If you need anything, just call.
- Thanks.

- Thank you.
- All right.

- That could not
have gone better.

- So, did you get yourself
a girlfriend yet?

- Oh, stop it.
- What?

- No, dad.
No new girlfriend.

- That's not true.

He has a new one.
I saw it on tv.

He didn't even get me
an autograph either.

- It wasn't the time
and she's not my girlfriend.

- Wait, who is this?

Is this the girl from tv?
From the fire?

- Madison park.
- Who?

- Oh, man.
You guys don't know anything.

She's, like, the best all-Time
singer ever.

- Ever.

- Ever?
- I was just doing my job.

I don't ask if they're famous
before i rescue them.

- Hey, did i ever tell you
about the time

I pulled two women out of
a third-Story apartment building

That was fully engulfed?

All: yes.
- Really?

I don't think i did.

- Ah, jordan.

How's my favorite client?

- Since when?

It's an expression.
Sit down.

They said no.
- No?

- Rad said--And don't
take this personally--

Madison doesn't need a has-Been
on the bill with her.

- Has-Been?

"Don't take it personally."

How do i not take that
personally?

- Ticket sales for your tour
are really slow.

We need madison.

You need to call her yourself.
Circumvent rad if you have to.

Rekindle your romance, man.

Pull that player out
and woo her.

- I dumped her publicly.
I mean, i--

- But--
- Look, we are friends again.

And trust me, it took a lot
just to get that.

- That leaves us one option.

We can cancel the tour.

- You know, i'm starting to like
this whole madison idea

You got going.
I like it.

- You like it?
- I say we do it.

- Come on, man.
Come on.

- All right.
- Come on.

All right.
Go get that woman.

- All right.
- Yeah.

- Hey, thank you.

- Thank you.

Write a song about her.

- Rad, what are we doing here?

- You are gonna chill.

There's way too many
distractions at the hotel,

Considering
what just happened.

So, this is a private residence
that i rented.

- Nice.
- Yeah.

It's a controlled environment.
It's quiet.

You're gonna be able to rest,
recuperate,

And most importantly, nobody's
gonna be able to find you,

Unless we want them to.

- Which eventually,
you'll want.

- You're not helping me.
Not even a little bit.

- I like it.

Let's give it a quick look,

But i have that date
with the fireman.

- Listen, this is very important
to me.

I want your word that you won't
alert the press.

He deserves a quiet dinner.
I deserve a quiet dinner.

- What good does it to anybody
if you're together

And i can't exploit it.

- I'm having dinner with him
because i want to,

Not for publicity.
He saved my life.

- This makes no sense.

- I'm serious.
No press.

Child.

- No press.

- You always travel in limos?

- Well, not always.

I'm from new york.

And so i, um, i took trains and
subways and cabs for gigs

For a few years.

Then i met rad and he signed me
and gave me a new career.

And we recorded an album
and it's quite successful.

I guess you can say
that this is my comeback.

- That's good.

Everyone deserves
a second chance.

- How's the tour going?

- Rad did this even though i
specifically told him not to.

- All right, step aside.
Step aside, please.

- Madison, madison, right here.
- Oh, hey!

You don't want to pay
for that lens, man.

- John!
John, right here.

- Madison.
Madison, over here.

Is this reward or romance?

- Okay.
Is this us?

- Yeah.
- Good.

- Here we go.
- Thank you.

- Wait.
- What?

- Miss park.
- Oh, thanks.

- I know of a quieter place.

- Well, i don't think
we can do that.

I think they'll just
follow us.

- Do you have a backdoor?
- Mm-Hmm.

- He's on a date with madison
park and he's on the phone?

- Yeah.
I don't know.

- That's really weird.
I wonder who he's talking to.

- Great.
- Everything good?

- Terrific.
- Okay, i'm almost there.

- Thank you.

- Hey, let's go over here.
- Let's go.

Can you see through?

- I need to use
the ladies' room.

Excuse me.

- Where's she--Where she going?

- I don't know.
Bathroom?

- Ugh, now that guy's not here.
Come over here.

- Madison park?
- Billy.

- You are beautiful.

Thank you.

- Where'd they go?

- Where is she?

- He's gone.

They're gone.

- There he is.
- Hey.

- What's going on?
- Thank you so much for coming.

- Ah, anything for you, buddy.
Madison park in my car.

All right. All right.
Here we go.

- Go around! Go around!
Let's go! Let's go!

- Perfect.
I'm sick of this.

- Come on, let's go.

- I still don't know anything
about you.

Not the singer you,
but madison.

- Well...

okay.

Well, i started doing beauty
pageants when i was five.

And my mom and i would travel
across the country to compete.

And eventually,
we focused on singing.

When i was 16, i auditioned
and was chosen for "touch."

After that...
how should i put it?

I...hit the highest of highs

And the lowest of lows.

- Tell me about your family.

- Wow.
Where to start?

I'm an only child.
I don't really talk to my mom.

See, my mom, she was like
the typical stage mom

That everybody feared.

And then, she turned into the
manager that everybody loathed,

Including myself sometimes.

I mean, she just made
all the decisions

And i kinda just went along
like a good little girl.

- She must have made
some good ones.

- She actually
made some great ones.

She did,
she made some great ones.

My career took off and soared.

And i also believed a lot
of the stuff that she told me,

Like that i was a star
and that i deserved

And needed to be treated
special.

- I can't picture that.
- Oh, yeah.

I was a terror.

- Where was your father
in all of this?

- My father
was a police officer.

And he risked his life every day
just like you.

Then one day...

a robbery suspect
shot and killed him.

- Oh...i'm sorry.

- I knew that it could happen.

I mean, he told me
that it could happen.

But when it--When it finally--

Well, i mean,

When it actually did happen,
i didn't feel prepared.

I wasn't ready for it.

I miss him every day.

- My father was a firefighter.

We knew the risk too.

- Is he okay?

- Mm-Hmm, retired and happy.

- That's good.

Uh-Oh.

I think somebody from here
must have called them.

- Oh, yeah.
There she is.

- Let's get out of here.
- Okay.

- Hurry up, hurry up.

- Shoot and run, shoot and run!

- Okay. We'll go right here.
- Okay. Okay.

- We lost them.
- Yeah?

- They really are relentless.

- Whew.

Yeah, tell me about it.

- I don't know how you stand it.

- I get to do what i love best
while making people happy.

- Sing?
- Yeah.

I can handle all the rest.

- You know what?
Just call her again, please.

Ugh, i knew this guy
was trouble.

- Straight to voice mail.

- You know what?
I'm calling the cops.

- You know this could
just be a nice date

Where she doesn't want to
be disturbed.

- We cannot let this
get that serious.

This works as a publicity stunt,
but it does not work

In real life,
and your job is on the line.

- Over one dinner?
- No, no, no.

This starts over one dinner.

It always starts
over one dinner.

This is serious, okay?

I mean, she hid from the media.

She's off with him
and she turned her phone off.

- The horror.

- Look, i am right about this.

I am always right
about these things.

I have a seventh sense, okay?

That's why i am so successful.

- Relax.
She is thanking a very nice,

Handsome fireman
for saving her life.

It's not gonna go any further
than that, i promise.

I won't let anything derail
her comeback.

- I have a stomachache.

- Tickets?

Autograph for your sister?

And you waited this long
to ask me for that?

- Yeah.

I mean, if i'm asking too much
or if i stepped over a line--

- Are you kidding me?
You saved my life.

- It's my job.

- And you had no idea
who i was

Until your sister asked you
for tickets?

- You know they charge 600 bucks
for tickets to see you?

- Yeah, yeah, i do.

It's just for a few seats
upfront.

- You must be a good singer.

- Wait, you've never
heard me sing?

- Uh...

okay, i'll take you home now.

- Wait, no, no, no.
First of all,

You don't have a car right now,
but second,

I actually kind of like that.

Vernon's here.

- Well, i had a great time
tonight.

- Me too.

So...

- day after tomorrow?

I work tomorrow.

- Yeah, i would love that.

- Good night.

- Good night.

- Next time, i'll drive?

- Okay, whatever you want.

- Yo, yo.
Just got out of the studio.

I got some great stuff.

- Tell me you have a love song
to madison on there.

- No, not, like, specifically,
but i got some love stuff.

I mean, some good stuff too.

- Nice.
That sounds romantic.

- It's dance music.

Come on,
you don't wanna hear it?

- No, not really.
- Why not?

- Because if you don't have
a tour to support it,

It won't sell.

Look, i may have gotten
the record company to hold off

On cancellation, so we're still
alive, but madison is the key.

You need to get her back
in your life,

And rad won't even answer
my phone calls.

- Don't look at me.
Madison won't answer the phone.

Okay, i don't know
where she is.

- You need to find her.

- How was your night?
- We had a good time.

She's a nice girl.

- Cathy down at the diner
is a nice girl.

Madison is like her own species.

- Why?
Because she can sing on key?

- You just don't get it.

- She's a down-To-Earth, lovely
woman, who i think knows

All the celebrity baloney
is shallow.

- Yeah, i could believe that.

- She loves to sing.
- That's all she writes about.

- I should probably listen to
some of them then, huh?

- You think?

- So?
Dish.

- I had a lovely evening
with a nice man

Just like any other
regular woman.

- In a chauffeured limousine
in a $2,000 dress.

Stop holding out on me.

- It was amazing.

We snuck out

And we talked about family

And feelings and...

i don't think i've ever had
a date like that.

- He doesn't care
about your career?

- Nope, he's never even
heard me sing.

- Has he been living in a cave?

- I actually find it
kind of refreshing.

- So seeing the firefighter
again, yes or no?

- Yes.

- Okay, please--And i say this
only because i have your best

Interests at heart--Don't let
this get you off track.

Plus, rad's head will explode
if it does.

- Well, you know what,
if it doesn't get on me,

I'm absolutely okay with that.

- Vernon, can you give me
a ride someplace?

- Anything for you.

Where are you going?

- Food delivery.

™� oh, oh,
don't wake me up ♪

™� if i'm dreaming ♪

- Wow, she's amazing.

- That's what i've been
telling you.

I mean, she's like a whole
nother level.

- Hi.

Hi, billy.

- Hi, madison.

- John, i brought you a snack.

- Bye, madison.
- Bye.

I'm sorry.
Was this too forward?

- No.
- Good.

I made you a turkey sandwich
and a fruit salad.

- You made it?
- Yeah.

Don't act so surprised.
- Sorry.

- And i just wanted to make sure
that you didn't forget

About tomorrow.

- Not a chance i'd forget.

- Okay, so i know that you're
on duty and i know how that is.

So, i'll just go.

- Well, this was sweet

And i'll see you tomorrow
morning at 9:00.

- 9:00?
Wow, that early?

- It's not that early.
- It's a little early.

- Okay, we'll do 11:00.
- Thank you.

- Dress comfortably,
we're going hiking.

- Hiking?
Okay.

That's--I'm excited about that.

So, i'll see you tomorrow.

- Bye, madison.

- Did you call her yet?
- I tried.

Every time i call,
it goes straight to voice mail.

The one time i got her,
she hung up on me.

- Oh, that's not good.

Why didn't you just go see her?
- I did.

I went to the hospital
with flowers.

She was already gone.

- This is not good.
You need to--

- To what?

Have her fall back in love
with me?

Her album just sold,
like, a gazillion copies.

She has a sold-Out tour.

She doesn't need me.

- Yeah, and after yesterday, she
couldn't be riding any higher.

Old rad must be beyond happy.

- Hey.

- Hey, you ready?

- Yeah.

- Tell me a funny
childhood story.

I'm not sure you want to hear

My funny childhood story.
- Why not?

- Not yet, at least.

- Hello, my people.

Where is the amazing madison?

Do not tell me
she's running late.

We have a full day today.

I have two interviews regarding
the fire and a lovely photo op

Of her revisiting the scene.

- She's not here.

- What did he say?

I thought you said,
"she's not here."

What's going on?

- This looks like a good spot.

- Yeah.

Good spot for what?
- Picnic.

- A picnic with--

- Oh, ye of little faith.

- I brought this up here
earlier to surprise you.

- Guess what, i don't care.
I really don't.

Find her.
Get her back here now.

This is unacceptable.
- Okay, rad.

Let me repeat myself since you
don't listen to anyone

Who holds differing opinions.
- Vernon, don't.

- Her mom never let her
have a life.

She needs to have one.
And she can't sing right now

Anyway and she doesn't need
any pressure coming from you,

So back off.
- Really?

Guess what.
You're fired.

How about that?
- You can't fire me.

- I just did. Now, go.
- Please, guys.

- And you, sweetheart,
you're gonna be next

If you don't figure out
this little fireman thing.

We don't need any distractions
right now, do you understand?

- Oh, rad,
i was just trying to--

- Just stop talking and act.

- Mmm.
What is this?

This is really great.

- Chicken bruschetta.
- Hmm.

- I marinated the chicken
overnight.

- And you made this?
- Mm-Hmm.

Part of a firefighter's
job description

Is to cook for all the crew.

We all have to do it.

You made me a sandwich.
The least i could do

Is return the favor.

- What are you going to do?
- Nothing.

Rad's all hot air.

He knows he can't
really fire me.

I'm not going anywhere.
- He seemed pretty mad.

- I don't work for him.

If madison wants me to go,
i'm gone.

- I know what you mean.

I want what's best for her too,
for her career.

It's just that rad knows
what he's doing.

He's concentrating on her
more than any

Of his other clients
right now, so--

- Doesn't mean you can't stand
up for yourself when he's wrong.

- I wish i was as tough as you.

Tough's got nothing
to do with it.

I love that girl.

I'll do anything for her.
- Yeah.

- What a great day.

It's not real, but wonderful.

- Is that madison park?
- Yeah. Yeah, i think it is.

- Oh, my god.

- This is really my real life.

- Hi, madison.

- Can we take a picture
with you?

- Of course you can.
Let me just put that down.

- Thank you so much.
- Of course.

All right.
Okay, you first?

Ready?
- One, two, three.

- Do you want another one?
- Thank you so much. Sure.

- You're welcome,
you're welcome. Perfect.

- I listen to your album,
like, every single day.

- Aw.
Thank you.

- You are so pretty in person.

- Thank you, sweetie.
So are you.

You're all so pretty.
Look at you.

- Thank you.

Do you have any new shows
coming up?

- Yeah, do you have a new show
coming up?

- Yeah, do you?

- I do have a show coming up.
We're gonna reschedule it soon,

But i'd love for you guys
to come.

It's a live taping.
- Mm-Hmm, we'll be there.

- Aw, that's exciting.

That makes me very happy
to hear that.

- Thank you for taking a picture
with us, madison.

- Of course, of course.
It was lovely to meet you guys.

- Bye.
-- You, too. Bye..

- Thank you so much.
You are so sweet.

- Thank you so much.

- You're really good
to your fans.

- Thank you.
- That was fun to watch.

- Well, they made me
who i am.

I'm nothing without--Well,
i'm nothing professionally

Without them.

Such a good time.
- Yeah.

Even when i was signing
autographs.

- Now, i told you, i got
a glimpse into what you do.

I saw how gracious you are.

- Oh, and thank you
for the home-Cooked meal.

I don't really get
many of those.

- That wasn't
a home-Cooked meal.

It was a sandwich
and a cookie.

Now, my mother
is a great cook.

- Are you inviting me
to meet your parents?

- I didn't mean for it to sound
like that.

- Why?

Why? I-I mean, i kinda like
the way that sounds.

I would love to meet
your family.

And i could take care
of that thing for your sister

At the same time.

- Oh, that.
You don't need to--

- It's really not a problem.

And i'm pretty sure it'll
get you some extra credit

If i deliver it myself.

- You got that right.

Well, i should--

- Oh, yeah.
Yeah, i should--I should--

I should go inside.

- Thank you.
- Mm-Hmm.

- All day?
- Yeah.

- Rad blew a gasket.
- Ugh, god.

I'm allowed to have
a personal life.

- Yeah, your fireman
tell you that?

- What is your problem?

- Rad fired vernon
because he let you go today.

- Not again.
He knows he can't do that.

- Vernon didn't go anywhere
but, you know,

I just feel like
this is getting out of hand.

I thought your career
was your life.

- No, my career is rad's life
at the moment.

It's only part of mine,
finally.

- One time you told me
when you want it all

You usually end up with nothing.

- You know that i want a career,
but i also want a personal life.

John is a super sweet,

Super classy, nice guy.

We're just good friends, okay?

Although,
i am meeting his parents

For dinner tomorrow night.

That's it.

- Oh.

- Thanks for meeting me, man.
- Not a problem.

Tell me something,
quick question.

Why the sudden change of heart
on the jordan-Madison idea?

- "A," it'll help me reign in
madison a little bit,

But "b," i think it'll sell
some tickets for your boy,

So you don't have to cancel
his show.

- Well, i don't know
about all that.

I just thought it'd be fun
for the kids.

- Come on, man, please.

Jordan's entire persona smells
like failure right now,

But i have a plan that can
change all that.

- You have to tell me
everything.

Isn't she a wonderful singer?

- Krissy, she's a nice person

And yes,
she's a very good singer.

- She sang to you?
Oh, i can't believe it.

- No, she didn't sing to me.

- You gonna see her again?

- I have to go.

I'll see you soon, okay?
I love you.

- Not fair.

- Oh, wow.

- Surprise.

- Jordan?

- You like them?

They're your favorite.

- Oh, these are from you?

- Don't tell me you have someone
else sending you roses.

- What is this about?

- Look, i almost lost you
in that fire.

It was a wakeup call for me.

- You don't have me to lose me.

And how did you know
where i was?

- Been trying to contact you.
I finally got through to rad.

I asked him, he told me.

Come on.
He knows we have a history.

- Yeah, ancient history.

- Yes, it is,
but that doesn't mean

We can't make history again.

- What do you want?

- I just want to be
together again.

Come on.
Like old times.

Don't you remember?
- Well, that's not happening.

- Look, if i meant anything
to you, let's go out tonight.

Just see what happens,
come on.

- I already have a date tonight.

- With john, a firefighter?

- Jordan, what's going on here?
What is this?

- Rad and stephen think
this is for the best.

You need to leave.

- Come--
- You do.

- You don't understand.
- Yes, i do understand.

Rad is scared that i'm no longer
some malleable

Young singer with stars
in her eyes.

- That's not it.
- That's what's happening.

- That's not it, okay?

- You know what, can you give
rad a message for me?

- Yeah, i guess.

- Okay, tell him that we
are no longer his pawns.

- So this means we're not
getting back together again?

- Thank you for the flowers.
- Mm-Hmm.

- Did you have a part in this?

- The roses are beautiful.

- Yeah, rad's gonna have to pay
a fortune for them.

- Rad? I thought they
were from jordan...

or maybe from your fireman?

- Stop.

Why, jess?

Why are you a part of this?
I thought we were friends.

- We are friends.

Rad isn't the enemy here.

He saved your career.

- Yeah, i know that.

But i met a nice man
who makes me happy

Every single time
i think about him.

What's wrong with that?

- Does john know that his every
move will be scrutinized

By a rabid media waiting
for your relationship to fail?

- No.

- They're going to examine
every inch

Of his life, every inch
of his family's life.

They're gonna camp outside
his work.

Do you really want that
for him?

- No.

- I feel like you should let him
know and he can move on.

He's a nice guy.

He doesn't deserve that.

Break up with him now

And it was a great adventure
for him.

Break up with him in a year,
it's gonna be on

The cover of every magazine at
the grocery checkout counter.

- All right, jess.
Thank you, sweetheart.

- You're welcome.

- Look, you're not gonna
regret this, okay?

And remember, it's always better
to stick to the buttered side

Of the bread, all right?
- I'll remember that.

Bye.
- I'll talk to you later.

- Hey, there.
- Hey.

- I'll be over in about
45 minutes to get you.

- Yeah, listen,
i can't make it.

I'm really sorry.

- Really?
You can't make it?

- What happened?
What's going on?

- Yeah, i just--
I'm double-Booked.

I have this interview.

Rad set it up and i totally
forgot that i said yes.

It's to let the fans know
that i'm okay.

- Oh, you're more than okay.

I'm glad i didn't tell krissy
you were coming.

It was gonna be a surprise,
but i completely understand.

- Well, i had your sister's
tickets and picture

All set up to go,
so i could just have vernon drop

Them off by the fire station
tomorrow, okay?

- Rather you brought them
yourself.

- Vernon will just bring them.

I just don't know when
i'll have free time soon

'Cause the tour's getting ready
to rev back up.

So...
- Oh, okay.

Well, give me a call
when you get a break.

I'd love to see you again.

- I will.
I promise.

Bye, john.

- Bye.

- What happened?

- I think she just
blew me off.

Hey, i'm here.
What's up?

- I thought you'd like to go
for a ride.

- Oh, yeah.
I don't know.

- Then go back to your room
and sit alone,

Feeling sorry for yourself.

- Hey.

- You need to get out.

I know you.
You need this.

- You know, you remind me
of my dad sometimes.

- Nicest thing
you ever said to me.

I'm not used to you
being up here.

- I prefer the view
from here better.

And i did need to get out.

- You need more than that.
- What?

- You need to listen to your
heart and not your manager.

- Were you eavesdropping?
- Every word.

So what's the real problem?

- He doesn't know
what's involved in this.

He just won't get it.

- John's a man.

He's not one of those pampered
pop stars from your past.

He can decide for himself
if it's too much for him.

You don't need to be deciding
for him.

- Okay, but--
- And you need to decide

For yourself whether you want
the rads of this world

Dictating what's good for you
for the rest of your life.

- But jess said--
- Jess loves you,

And she's concerned about you.

Now, don't you ever
doubt that.

You want to get to know
this john?

Is that what your
heart says?

If not, let's go home.
If so...

- i was supposed to go to his
parent's house for dinner,

But i have no idea
where it is.

- It's right there.

And you're gonna need these.

Tickets and
an autographed picture.

- What would i do
without you?

It's a two-Way street.

Now, go.

- I love you.

- Go away.

And i'll let the fireman give
you a ride back to the house.

- Okay.
- Okay.

- I'll get it.

- What was it?
What did it turn out to be?

- Some woman left
the toaster on and--

- No, get out of here.
- Yeah.

- Hi.

You must be krissy.
I'm madison.

It's really nice to meet you.

Okay.

Um, john?

- You came.
- Yeah.

I had some help reassessing
my priorities.

But right now, i think
that the priority is krissy.

- Krissy, snap out of it.

- What's going on?
- Hi.

- Dad, this is madison.

- Hi.
- How are you?

- Nice to meet you.

- What's wrong with her?

- Madison park.
- Yes.

- You are, like,
the greatest singer ever.

- I think that may be a slight
exaggeration, but thank you.

- No, really.
You--You're krissy's idol.

- You're really here.

- So, why is she here?

- Honey, this is the woman
that john saved in the fire.

- Oh, okay.

- She came here to
see me--To meet you.

- Have you had dinner yet?

- Mmm.

These stuffed mushrooms
are really, really good.

May i have another?
- Hey, try the green beans.

There's just a little bacon
in there.

- Oh, all right.
- Yeah.

Let her eat
what she wants, dad.

You don't need to
orchestrate her.

- It's okay.
It's okay.

These are--Everything is just
really, really good.

- Thank you.
- This is like a dream,

A wonderful dream.

- I'm really, really happy
to meet you.

- We're gonna be
best friends too.

I know it.

- I was really hoping
that you would say that.

- Okay, wait.
I'm confused.

I thought you told me
she wasn't seeing him anymore.

- Vernon took her.

- And how do you know that?

- He told me and then he told me

To stay out of her
personal life,

And then he went up
to his room.

- Why can't he stay fired?

- Why can't i call my friends?

- Because then it becomes
an event

Instead of dinner with a friend.

- But they won't believe
she was here.

- Well, krissy, we'll take
pictures together and--

Actually,
i brought you something

That might help convince them.

I'll be right back.
Excuse me.

- Oh, that's so sweet of you.

- You need to marry her.

- What?

- Krissy, you're acting like
a 10-Year-Old, sweetie.

- Sounds good to me.
- She's very sweet, sweetie.

- Look, you're a catch.

You have a good job
with great benefits.

And i will bet you
that that singing thing

Doesn't have
your kind of benefits.

- Dad, she makes millions
of dollars singing.

Yeah, millions of dollars.

Hey, madison.
- Yeah?

- Do you really make millions
of dollars singing?

- Dad!
- Douglas!

- He said it.

- What has your son
been telling you?

- A bunch of baloney, i think.

- I agree.
It's a bunch of baloney.

- I give up.
- Here.

- What did you bring me?

- You'll see.

- "To my new best friend,
krissy. Love, madison."

Oh, man.
This is great.

I'm going to frame it
and take it to school,

And i'm gonna show helen.
- Calm down.

- She thinks she's your
biggest fan.

No way.
It's me.

- So for my biggest fan...

four tickets?

Thank you! Thank you!
Thank you!

Thank you! Thank you!
Thank you! Thank you!

- Thank you, really.
- Thank you so much.

- You're very welcome.

And you don't have
to thank me.

Thank your brother.
He came up with the whole thing.

- You're the best, john.
The best. Thank you.

- You're welcome.

- I have to call helen
and tell her.

- Yeah, set her straight.

That was very sweet.

- My pleasure.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

- That's right, cynthia,

And they will be here
sometime tonight.

- So that means...
- Exactly.

So it's a perfect opportunity
for you to get some exclusive

Footage of madison
and her fireman, john kelly.

- Spelling?
- K-E-L-L-Y.

- Oh, rad, that's fantastic.
Oh, madison and her hero.

Let's go.
We're on the way.

We're on the way.
This is an exclusive, right?

- That's what i said.

- About time you realize
what i can do.

Bye.
Come on, let's go.

He's gonna text me
the address.

- Exclusive?

She's, like, the tenth person
you've called.

- Ah.
12th.

- Are you sure
this is the right thing to do?

- Look, i told madison what
would happen to him

If they went out together.

- Yeah, i told her too, but i
can't help it if it didn't work.

I don't wanna do anything
that hurts--

- Shh.

Johnny, rad leffler.

I have some information
that you might find interesting.

- I got madison park tickets.

- We know, honey.

- You don't know how cool
this is.

- Let me see these.
600 bucks?

- Wow, like father, like son.

Those are the best seats
in the house.

- So, you really do make
millions of dollars

Just singing?

I mean, you don't, like, play
the piano or lead an orchestra.

- Nope. Just...

both: singing.

- And you're here again, why?

- Um...

- really?

- Boyfriend, john kelly should
be returning too, at any moment.

- Rad?
Rad.

- Whatever you need.
You find them.

- You said this
was an exclusive.

- Sweetheart, sweetheart,
can i help it if word gets out?

- Okay, fine.

I want an interview
with both of them.

- You got it.
Whatever i can do to help you.

- Right.
Heard that before.

- Just relax and sparkle.

- So, you were
a fireman too, right?

- Yeah, i was.

- Like father, like son, again.

- Yeah.

- Can i ask you
a personal question?

- Absolutely.

- How did you handle the fact
that at any moment

He might not ever come home?

- I didn't handle it.

It came with the man
i fell in love with, you know.

But actually, i was scared.

I was scared every day he went
to work until he retired.

- You know, madison,
every time i went out that door

And went to work, i feared
i wouldn't see her again,

Or my kids.

It goes both ways.

But i will tell you,

It makes you a whole lot
more careful on the job.

- Right, but you still found
yourself in situations

Where you thought
you were going to die.

- Yes.

- Madison, what--What is this
really about?

- My father
was a police officer.

- And did he not come home?

- No, he didn't come home.

- I'm so sorry, sweetie.
That's--

- It's okay.

- Well, i'm sure he'd be
very proud of you.

- Thank you.

I can't tell you
how great this was.

Thank you.

- You were so cool
for calling helen with me.

I know she didn't believe us,

But she will when she sees
the pictures.

- That was a lot of fun.

- If you ever want to talk,
please call.

- Oh, thank you.

I never really got to do
that with my mom.

- Oh, give your mom a call.

I mean, i'm sure she'd love
to hear from you.

- Enough.

- Okay, sorry.

- It's okay.
I'll think about it.

And i owe you.
- Me?

For what?

- Well, for your family
and for this one.

- You know, his job really does
have good benefits.

- I have to get her back.

- My god.
See, that's--

- No, i'm serious.
They're great benefits.

- Yes.

Thank you.

- Thank you.
This was wonderful.

- All right.
It was great.

- John, drive safe, yeah?

- Bye.

- I got it.
- Oh, thank you.

- I like her.

All right.
- Homework.

Homework.

- Bye.
- Bye.

- Bye.

- Here they come.

- Oh, yeah, yeah.

- Nice, please get that shot.
Focus on her.

- All right, here we go.

- Hey, madison.

- Wow.

- You look beautiful, madison.

Madison, over here, over here.

- For me?

- You think you're being funny
but they actually

Are here for you.

I'm sorry.

- Don't be sorry.

- You know, rad set this up.

You know, you can actually
just drop me off right here

And you can leave.

- I don't drop off dates.
I walk them to the door.

- Okay.

- Right here at this camera,
right here.

Hey, john.

John, are you two officially
together now?

- We're just friends.
- Yeah.

- Oh, he's letting her out.

What a gentleman.
Madison, madison.

Over here, over here.

Inquiring minds want to know.

John, how was your date
with madison?

- Oh, she sang the whole time.

I don't believe she spoke
a single word.

It was like being in a broadway
musical the whole time.

Madison, is that true?

- Uh...

yes.
Cynthia, right?

- Yes.

- Yes, i sang to him
and he danced for me.

It was--It was amazing,
really beautiful.

You should've been there.

- I wish i would've.

- This guy is good.

- I think it's cute.

- I smell trouble.

- Maybe they're good together.

- No, they're not good together.
This is dangerous.

It's time for
the nuclear option.

- Yup.
This is stephen.

- Hey.

Operation madison's
in full effect.

- When?
Tomorrow?

- No.
Now.

- Get out.
Are you serious?

- Any further comment?

- Thank you so much
for coming tonight.

I've got to get going.

I've got a 24-Hour watch
tomorrow.

- Yeah, so he needs his
beauty sleep, people.

- Now, i'm asking you all
to back off for a second

So i can tell
this woman good night.

Night.

- Who is this guy?

No, he tells them to back off
and they listen?

How does he do that?
I can't do that.

- Hey.
- Hey.

- Nice try.

- Yup.
We done?

- Maybe one more right here.
- It is a good angle.

- That wasn't so bad.

- Yeah, well, they haven't
turned on you yet.

Okay.

So, thank you for tonight

And just be careful at work.

- I will.

- Good.

- Here we go.
Get it, get it.

Oh, that's great.

- Do you want a real exclusive?

- I think you owe me one.

- Stay here, okay?

Don't go anywhere.

- I'm so tired of rad
doing this to me,

Making me look like an idiot.

- Maybe not.

We have movement.

Okay.

- What do we have here?

- See if i can zoom in.

- Get it nice and close.

You believe this?

Jordan vanderpool.

- Yeah.

Your next exclusive.

- Jackpot.
- Oh, yeah.

- He danced--
- Whoa, turn it back.

- It was amazing,
really beautiful.

- No.
- You should've been there.

- Whoa.
- No.

- Thank you all so much
for coming--

- Look at this johnny boy
over here,

A little star hanging out
with madison park like that.

Look at you, man.
Oh.

Hey, can i ask you?
Is this true love?

Will you all be honeymooning
in belize?

- Cut it out.

- Turn it up!
Are you kidding me?

Night.

- Yes, they look like
a fairy-Tale couple for sure.

But is she just using her
fireman hero as publicity

While she reignites
with the true love of her life?

This is the house where
madison park is recuperating

From her brush with death
last week,

Where she almost perished
in a fire at the concert hall.

It's late.
Her fireman hero, john kelly,

Whom she spent the last several
days with,

Has long gone back to his world.

Then a lone man appears
and sneaks into the building

Where madison is the sole guest.

Could he be up to no good?

Yes, girls,
it's jordan vanderpool,

Madison's former flame.

A man who doesn't have to sneak
anywhere to get what he wants.

He looks like a man
on a mission.

Are we seeing the start of a new
madison-Jordan partnership?

Let's ask madison's manager,
rad leffler.

Rad, are madison park
and jordan vanderpool

A duet once again?

- No comment.

- Oh, come on, rad.
Really?

You can't fool me
or madison's fans.

This fireman romance was
just a big publicity stunt,

Wasn't it?

- No comment.

- Oh, come on, rad.
Really?

- Madison park is a liar.

- Honey.
Honey, w--

- I'm cynthia montana and
this is gossip news network.

- Sorry, dude.
- That's just not right.

- I just can't believe that.

- I'm sorry, man.

Don't feel stupid, man.

I bought the act too.

- It just didn't feel
like an act.

- Rad.
- Cynthia.

- Rad, you got to be real
with me.

- No, i told you,
i couldn't talk about it

Right now, okay?
Thank you.

I'll get back to you when i can.
Thank you, mac.

- You can't keep
doing this to me.

- Okay.
No, i'll talk to you later.

- Fine.
Did you get that?

- I got audio.

- Good.

- That was about the lowest,
most underhanded,

Disgusting thing
i have ever seen.

- Wait till you see what comes
on live at lunch

On the gossip news network.

- Madison's gonna have you
for lunch.

- Madison is gonna thank me.

- I can't do this anymore.

I can't do this to my friend.

I quit.
- No, stop.

Jess, please, what will i ever
do without your help?

- You know what, rad?

Someday karma's gonna catch up
to you.

Try to help.

- Hey, we need to talk.

- Trust me.

- Trust you?
- Yeah.

- It's never worked in the past.

- Okay.
I'll talk to you later.

- All right, bye.

- And there she is.

- How are you, rad?
What's up?

- I was hoping maybe we could go
get something to eat,

You know, just you and me,
no vernon, no jess.

- Bite to eat?

Yeah, i am hungry and i know
of a place that's perfect.

- Wow.

I thought i was gonna have
to talk you into it.

- No.

- Okay, great.
Wherever you want.

And maybe we could talk
a little shop.

After all, we have a tour to get
back up on its feet.

- Sounds good.

- No, everything's all set up.
- You're sure?

- Okay?
Just give me two minutes.

- Two minutes?

- Two minutes,
you make your entrance.

- My entrance.
- Okay.

- Hello.
- Hello.

- How are you today?
- Good, thank you.

- Okay, no more phone calls,
no more distractions.

I am all yours.

- That would be nice.

Listen.

I still think
that a live concert--

It's too soon for that.

My voice is feeling raspy.

- Are you kidding me?
You are perfect.

I mean, as long as you're okay
with the new venues and dates,

We are fine.

- I'm okay with them,
but can we sell them out?

- Quicker than you think.

- Well, i can think
pretty quick.

- Well, then you better start.

- What's going on?

- You can thank me later.

- Hey, look, it's jordan.

- Jordan?
- Here she comes.

- No questions.
Just--Just stand for me.

Please just--Just trust me.

- Great stuff.

- Madison park and i...

were close at one time.

As you all know, over the past
few years, we've been apart.

But recently,
after almost losing her,

I realized i just couldn't bear
being without her.

So i'm back...

to spend the rest of my life
with her,

If she'll have me.

- Oh, yeah.
- Oh.

- Madison...
- Jordan...

- i love you so much.

Will you marry me?
- Get a close-Up.

- Oh.

- What do you guys say?

- Jordan, what made you do this?

- Say yes, madison.

- How could i say no?

- Oh, that's wonderful.
- Aww.

- Jordan, kiss her.

- He's going.
- Wow.

- Right here.
- How can she say no?

- How can i say no?

Like this.

Jordan, you and i
have been friends

For a very long time and
we will continue being friends.

But we're not going
to get married.

Ever.

I'm sorry.
And i'm sorry that you all had

To come here to see this,
but you've been fooled by rad.

We've all been fooled by rad.

- That is not actually correct.

- You're fired.

- What?
You can't fire me.

We have a contract.

- Yeah, we did, and it clearly
states that if you break

The morals clause,
the contract is invalid.

So between what jess, vernon,
and i have witnessed,

I'd say i have
a pretty good case.

- Madison, can we just talk
about this

For one moment, please?

- Bye, rad.

- Do not make a scene like this.

Please, let's talk--
Vernon, pull over.

Excuse me.

Vernon!
- Rad.

How does it feel to betray
your star client?

- Listen.
I apologize for her.

She is clearly under
a lot of stress

And pressure right now, okay?

- So, is this the end
of the two of you?

- No, it's not the end of us.
We will work that out.

- She just fired you.

- So i'm like--I'm shocked.

I'm, like, freaking out,
but it gets worse.

But then she says,
"we're not getting married,"

Right on tv.

- Yeah, it--I just find
the whole thing confusing.

- Yeah, no kidding.

Is she dating this jordan guy
or not?

- No.
No, she isn't.

Not at all.

Oh, no.

- What?

- I tore up
my autographed picture.

- Once they clear it,
we'll check the explosions.

- Here we go, men.

Get that equipment off-Loaded.
All right.

John, give me the line
on the front door.

- Okay, chief.

- Get up there and let's see if
we have anybody still inside.

Billy, take out that front
window before we get up there.

- Will do.

- Hey, joe.

Give me that utility box.
- Getting it done.

- Unit 17,
two of you guys get a hose.

The rest of you,
lockup that traffic.

Let's go.
Move.

Dispatch, dispatch,
we have a working house fire.

Send me two more engines.
I repeat.

Two more engines.

Let's go, guys.
Lockup that traffic.

- Must be out on a call.

- Should we wait?

- Utility box clear.

- Utility's clear, let's go.

- Using all hands
for a confirmed fire

At a residential structure.

Second alarm called.
Company three on scene.

Move in.

- John.

John, where are you?
John, where's your location?

Firefighter down.

It's john kelly,
trapped in the bedroom.

The room is compromised.
I'm gonna try

To get him out now.

- Confirming firefighter
trapped.

Be advised that john kelly
has been found

And is being extracted
from the building.

- It's okay.

- It's okay.

- Get e.M.S. Up here.

- I got you.

- Johnny boy, you hang in there.

Hang in there.
Help's on the way.

- Come on already.

- John?

- Yeah.

- Little shocky.

- Yeah.

- Come on, come on, come on.

- Attention,
all units on standby.

John kelly has been extracted
and removed from the building.

He's being readied for transport
to memorial hospital now.

- Come on, buddy.

- John, can you hear me?

John, don't breathe deep.

There you go.

- There you go.
That's it, that's it.

All right, john.
You're gonna be all right.

- John kelly is now breathing
and appears responsive.

I repeat.
John kelly is now breathing

And appears responsive.

- I can't do this.

I can't do this again.
I can't.

I got--I need to go.

- So, sweetheart,
are you sure you're okay?

- I'm fine, mom.
A couple cracked ribs.

Dad's had worse.

- Well, i don't know about that,

But i do know
that cracked ribs hurt.

What happened?

- I forced the door.

I was doing a search
and a section

Of the ceiling collapsed.

- Oh.

I'm just happy you're okay.

- Is madison coming
to visit you?

- I don't think so,
unless she can use it

To make herself look better.

- What?

- Everybody at the firehouse saw
the jordan guy

Sneaking in and him
asking her to marry him.

I don't think she's gonna
break herself away

From wedding plans to see me.

- She didn't say yes to jordan.

She said no right on tv.

It was all a publicity stunt
she had no idea about.

She fired her manager on tv,
too.

- Really?
- Really.

- Yeah.
None of it was true.

- Did she call
and check up on you?

- No.

- Then she probably
doesn't know.

- Honey, why don't you call her?

- He can call her tomorrow.

All right?
Right now,

He just needs to rest.

- Come here.
Careful.

I love you.
- I love you too.

- Bye.
- Bye, sis.

- Bye.
Feel better.

- Thank you.

- Hey, you're lucky.

Nurse manuel to radiology.

Nurse manuel
to radiology.

- I was never late
when i had you helping me.

- Well, i haven't been much
of a friend lately either.

- Let's go talk about it.

- Why did you call me?

I quit for a reason.
I let you down.

- We've been through a lot
together.

I've made mistakes too,
you know.

I let rad have free reign
over all of us.

- Not vernon.
He stood up for himself.

Me?
I caved like a wet noodle.

- So, uh...

vernon told me that you quit
over what rad did?

- Yeah, but only after it had
all been set in motion.

I know how much this comeback
meant to you

And i was trying
to protect that.

- I know.

Yeah.
And i appreciate it.

- Look, i'm not asking
for my job back,

But i would really like
my friend back.

- I'll tell you what.

How about you have both back?

You know i can't do
any of this without you, right?

What about john?

- He called a few times
and i let it go to voice mail.

- Why?

- You know, he's wonderful.

It's really me.

It's my problem.

His job.

He almost died in a fire
the other night.

Did you know that?

I heard the whole thing
and it just--It made me feel

So much like what i felt
when my dad was killed

And i promised that i would
never feel that way again.

- Is he okay?

- Yeah, he's going to be okay,
thankfully.

But as for us, i--I--

I don't think i can do it.
I-I just--I can't.

- I understand.

And i'm here for you.

- Hey.

You know, it's good you're
here until you feel better.

- I'd rather be working.

- I know.
How are your ribs?

- They feel better
but i'm still sore.

- Look, you're alive, you're
home, you're feeling better,

And yet you still look like

The most unhappy guy
in the world.

It's her, isn't it?

- I thought...

- you had found...

- a wonderful woman.

I really felt like i'd never
have to look for another one.

- I still feel
that way about your mom.

- I can't imagine that comes
along more than once in life.

- Well, then why don't you
do something about it?

- I called her.

I get voice mail or an assistant
that says she's busy.

I even texted her.
No answer.

- Doesn't your generation ever
do anything face-To-Face?

- I'd love to talk to her
face-To-Face.

I think she's made it pretty
clear she's not interested.

- You run into burning buildings
for a living,

And yet you're afraid
of this beautiful woman?

- Afraid?

- Yeah.
Afraid to go to her

And have her tell you to your
face that she doesn't love you.

- Nobody said anything
about love.

- Nobody had to.

- Hey.
You have a visitor.

- I don't want to see anybody
right now.

- I think you need to hear
what he has to say.

- Before you say anything,
let me explain.

I was desperate
and i was wrong.

I listened
to a couple of nut-Jobs

And not my own head.

Madison, is there any way
you could forgive me?

Of course i can.

But don't you ever pull
a stunt like that ever again.

- I won't.
I swear.

I--Come here.

It's okay.

- You know it probably would've
been a beautiful wedding.

- Oh, yeah.
Real storybook.

Let's decide on
this right now though.

- What?

- Always friends?

- That works for me.

- Okay.
Good.

I lied, actually.
There's one more thing

I have to ask of you.
It's coming from me.

No one else, i swear.

- Sure.
Ask.

- Could i sing with you
on your live recording gig?

It would really help my tour.

- So what song
do you want to sing?

- Ah, yes.

- Okay.
I've been thinking about a few.

- Why don't you sit and tell me
what song you wanna sing?

- Okay, all right.
Sounds good.

- Taking it out
to get it washed?

- Yup.

That's the official version.

- And if we get a call?

- I'll be there.
It's called a radio.

- Need some backup?

- Why not?

- How do you know
she's gonna be there?

- A bird named vernon told me.

- Let's roll.
- Big bird.

- How's rehearsal?

- Lifeless sound good to you?

- No.

- Well, her passion
for the love songs are gone.

She used to melt hearts
when she sang.

Now, she's just gonna
ice 'em up.

- She keeps denying her feelings
because of her fears.

- Those fears are grounded
in something real.

- Yeah, well, when you build
brick walls around you,

The bricks only end up
falling on you.

- Tell her that.

- She's not gonna listen to me.

I had a better idea.

- Had?

- Mm-Hmm.

- Hey.

- Remember, you can't fire me.

What?

Mom?

- What's going on?

- Angela's in there.

- Vernon.

Nice going, buddy.

- Well, you look great,
really great.

- I feel really great,
sweetheart.

I've kept busy.

I'm going back to college
and getting my degree.

- In what?

- Believe it or not, english.

- Wow.
That's--

That's amazing.

- You've looked better.

- Thank you for that.

- You know when yolooked
the best i've ever seen you?

On tv, the night
with the fireman when you were

At the rental house dealing
with all the media.

I saw the way you looked at him.

- Mom, please just
don't go there.

- I'm your mother.

So, are you in love
with the fireman?

Mom, i can't stop
thinking about him.

- That's a strange way
of telling me you love him.

- It's too late anyway.

I've driven him so far away
that he's probably

Fallen off the earth by now.

What?
What's happening?

- I have something
to say to you.

Let me say it
and then i'll go.

First of all,

I want to say--
- I love you.

And i'm sorry that i haven't
told you before.

But i was just--

I was scared...

to love you.

- I love you too.

- Ooh.
Woo-Wee!

- You know what she's doing?

- John's in love.
