Good.

Well, we've got our to-do list.

We've got to hit the gym

when we get out of here.

I guess you can take me to church.

[chuckles]

A win for me.

[John coughing]

And of all places to find out

you're havng another baby.

I wonder

if this is what it feels like

being inside of the womb.

Oh, you're probably on the fight track.

Congrats, though.

You know

what still blows my mind?

I thought

I had it all figured out.

A beautiful wife,

family, career.

I wanted...

You know what I learned?

You want to know what

it takes to be a real man?

[III]

Have a baby girl.

AARON:

Hey...

You there?

Hey, you know, I want you

to stay awake for me.

John? Are you there?

We're about ready

to pull you out.

You with me on that?

Yeah. Yeah.

Okay.

JOHN;

Wait.

Can I talk to Emily first?

They had to pull

the cable back up

or it might get caught

on the rope.

But she's here, John.

She's with you, okay?

Okay.

JOHN:

Can you promise me one thing?

Yeah, anything.

Can you promise to tell Emily

that no matter what,

I'll be there

when the baby is born?

I thought we weren't going

to talk like this, John.

I know.

Just promise me.

Please?

Yeah.

Yeah, I promise. I promise.

I'm gonna

get you out of here, John.

Yeah.

Okay.

Emily, it's time.

HODGSON [on radio]:

All right, Susie, it's all yours.

Here we go!

All right, here we go.

-Okay. Okay!

One, two, three, pull!

[groaning]

You're doing great, John.

Keep pushing! Keep pushing!

[groans and coughs]

You're doing great, John.

Keep pushing!

Still pulling!

It's working!

It's working!

Keep pushing.

Pull!

-Come on, guys!

AARON".

You're doing great, John.

Keep pushing!

[groaning]

Keep going!

Pull!

Back it off a notch!

We can't lose a bit!

S U S I E :

Nooooo!

Hey, are you all right?

Hey, I got- I got you.

EMILY [ON RADIO]:

John? John, can you hear me?

JOHN [ON RADIO]:

Aaron? Is Aaron okay?

EMILY:
They're getting him help.

He's gonna be fine.

JOHN:

I'm sorry.

I couldn't do it.

EMILY:

It's okay sweetheart.

John?

You've been pushing

so hard for so long.

Just rest a bit

and take a break.

And then you can push again later.

What the...

Hello?

I think I can...

Oh, my gosh.

What the heck?

Hello!

Hey, can anyone hear me?

Aaron, I got out.

Hello!

Come on.

Okay.

Hey, buddy.

What are you doing here?

You got

a name little guy, huh?

EMILY [sobbing]:

John, I'm pregnant.

You're going

to be a father again.

You're, uh...

JOHN:

You're a boy.

Yeah, you're my boy.

You're my baby boy.

Hey, I'm your father.

You saw it.

You saw it all, didn't you?

You saw how I, uh...

tried to be a good example.

I tried to be

a good person for you.

I love your mother

and your sister.

Oh, you're gonna love

your sister.

You have to promise me

something, okay?

You're going

to be the man now.

You need to, uh...

You're going

to promise me that, um,

that you're going

to watch over them, okay?

You gotta be strong.

'Cause I can't...

I can't be there

like I was before.

And your mother, um,

she deserves to be happy,

all right, so...

She needs someone that will

love her like I did.

'Cause you need that

in a home. You do.

You and sister need to...

You need to see and feel love,

the kind of love

that your mother can give

when she is the happiest.

'Cause there's

no greater feeling in the world.

I'm so glad I got to meet you.

We got to get you

out of here now.

Yeah.

It's my turn to watch you.

I love you.
