00:00:00Oh Walter's up five points. Okay, let's see what the press thinks of your strong
00:00:09independent woman campaign. Here we go. Nora West, a career politician with zero
00:00:16family experience telling us how to raise ours. Hashtag vote Walter Kane.
00:00:23Oh this one's brutal. Okay stop. Look, I get it. Feminism's dead. Nobody cares
00:00:29about policy. So what are we gonna do now? You want to win that Senate seat, right?
00:00:34Get a family or you could fake one. No, I'm not gonna fake a family for votes. Then
00:00:41start writing your concession speech. Oh, well I think of something different.
00:00:49Outlaid sugar? Hi. Nora West, running for senator. I never fucked a senator before.
00:01:04Get off me. Get off me. Let her go. Keep on moving tough guy. You don't want to do that.
00:01:27Hell no. It's mad dog.
00:01:42Move.
00:01:44I'm fine. I'm so sorry. I have everything under patrol. I'm fine.
00:02:04I have everything under control. I'm fine.
00:02:08Whoa. Easy.
00:02:11You're all right.
00:02:21You kissed your hero?
00:02:23Was he hot?
00:02:25Eli, I was assaulted.
00:02:26Right. Sorry.
00:02:28We should file a police report.
00:02:31Walter!
00:02:32We love you, too.
00:02:35Oh, stop. Thank you.
00:02:39Fantastic.
00:02:41Here we go.
00:02:43Oh, my gosh. I love you so much.
00:02:48Well,
00:02:50Norwest.
00:02:51You know, most people with your numbers would have bowed out by now.
00:02:56I'm the only thing
00:02:57stopping you from selling out the people of California
00:03:00to your highest donors.
00:03:02Ha, ha, ha.
00:03:04The owners don't want the truth.
00:03:06They want fairytales.
00:03:08Yeah.
00:03:08Smiles.
00:03:09Kissing babies.
00:03:10The whole shebang.
00:03:11And what are you offering?
00:03:13Angry.
00:03:14Dirty something.
00:03:15Can't keep a man.
00:03:20Forget politics.
00:03:24Make some money off your looks.
00:03:25Well, you still got them.
00:03:26Oh, no.
00:03:49Nora, what did you do?
00:03:54Get that taken down now!
00:03:56I can't.
00:03:58It's everywhere.
00:04:01You kissed a stranger in a dark alley?
00:04:05The voters are going to think that you're feral.
00:04:07You need a family angle to fix this now.
00:04:10Hey, Eli, I can't conjure a family out of thin air.
00:04:20That's it.
00:04:23You're lucky.
00:04:30You're cute.
00:04:31I thought pink was your favorite color.
00:04:34We're on the clock, princess, huh?
00:04:36Got ten minutes.
00:04:37Let's go.
00:04:38I'll be right back, sunshine.
00:04:46Wait.
00:04:48He's not going to make you fight again.
00:04:50Is he?
00:04:51No way.
00:04:57My pinky promise.
00:04:58I need a raise.
00:05:12Then get back in the ring and fight.
00:05:18You remember him?
00:05:20Huh?
00:05:22You were a king.
00:05:24Now look at you.
00:05:25Mopping piss and wearing, I don't know, what is that?
00:05:28Eyeliner?
00:05:30Don't you miss the rush?
00:05:31Make it up, make it up, make it up.
00:05:48No.
00:05:49Get back to scrubbing toilets.
00:05:51Put up a damn sign next time, dumbass.
00:06:11Let me help.
00:06:13Uh, what about your math homework?
00:06:16It's done.
00:06:16I'll find you a family.
00:06:29For now, focus on optics.
00:06:31You need to look like you care about cardio.
00:06:33Okay, but I don't.
00:06:35Nobody does.
00:06:36Eli, I gotta call you back.
00:06:39Sweetheart?
00:06:40Hi.
00:06:41Why are you mopping the floor?
00:06:43Shouldn't you be in school?
00:06:44Oh, it's a Saturday.
00:06:45Where are your parents?
00:06:47Dad.
00:06:49Unbelievable.
00:06:50This is child labor.
00:06:51You're exploiting a little girl.
00:07:02You're right.
00:07:07You.
00:07:09Déjà vu.
00:07:12Don't even think about kissing me again.
00:07:15Uh, you kissed me.
00:07:16That kiss nearly tanked my campaign.
00:07:18Wait, you two kissed?
00:07:20No.
00:07:22So, mop floors by day, play vigilante by night?
00:07:25Oh, no.
00:07:26My dad's a professional fighter, but he promised he'd never fight again.
00:07:29Wait, you're her father?
00:07:31How is that even possible?
00:07:32Okay.
00:07:33When a mommy and a daddy love each other very much, they come together like the birds and
00:07:38the bees.
00:07:38Okay, stop.
00:07:41So, you're seriously letting your daughter mop the floors?
00:07:44You do understand that child labor is against the law.
00:07:46She's mopping the floors.
00:07:47She ain't laying bricks.
00:07:49So, is this part of your new strategy to collect votes?
00:07:52Harass the constituents?
00:07:54Excuse me.
00:07:55Yeah.
00:07:56I know who you are.
00:07:58Hey!
00:08:01What for?
00:08:03No sign?
00:08:04Uh, you're trying to get me soon, aren't you, huh?
00:08:07Get back to work.
00:08:14Wait.
00:08:14I have an offer.
00:08:18How would you like to be my family?
00:08:24I want you two to pretend to be my family, just until the election.
00:08:28It'll only be for show.
00:08:30Politics, optics, you know.
00:08:32Come on, kid.
00:08:33This lady's nuts.
00:08:36I'll pay.
00:08:38A lot.
00:08:41So, let me get this straight.
00:08:43You want us to lie to the country?
00:08:46It's not a lie.
00:08:47It's strategic storytelling.
00:08:49You'd be helping your daughter, helping me help yourself.
00:08:52Here, at least, just take my card.
00:09:00Good luck with your optics.
00:09:07Wait!
00:09:13Listen, you can't stay.
00:09:16Have new tenants in, right now.
00:09:18No, Mike, listen to me, okay?
00:09:19I'll have the money for you tomorrow morning.
00:09:21I swear to you.
00:09:21That's what you said last week, Maddox.
00:09:23I don't run out of charity.
00:09:24Look, look.
00:09:25We got nowhere else to go, man.
00:09:28Don't make me call the cops.
00:09:30Mike.
00:09:31No, Mike.
00:09:32Mike.
00:09:32Mike, please!
00:09:33Mike!
00:09:33Mike!
00:09:33Mike, please!
00:09:36It's okay, Dad.
00:09:38A home isn't a place.
00:09:40It's you and me.
00:09:41I'm calling about your offer.
00:10:09I thought about what you said.
00:10:18And I need the money.
00:10:20Fast.
00:10:22For my daughter.
00:10:28There's a championship bout.
00:10:31Next month.
00:10:32I can't risk getting hurt.
00:10:34I'm the only family Sky has.
00:10:36Relax.
00:10:37It's staged.
00:10:38You take a fall in round five.
00:10:40No hits, no pain.
00:10:42Just lights, crowds, cash.
00:10:44You'll walk away rich.
00:10:46People will pay a lot of money
00:10:47to see their unbeatable mad dog go down.
00:10:53I have to think about it.
00:10:54Hey, you're the one who came to me, kid.
00:10:56Tell my friends you're interested.
00:10:58But don't take too long.
00:11:00They're not the patient type.
00:11:01Being brave means doing the hard thing.
00:11:18And who told you that?
00:11:19You did, Daddy.
00:11:20Keep your guard up.
00:11:30Uh, go get a snack in the locker room, honey, okay?
00:11:35Hey.
00:11:37No sweets.
00:11:38Are you sure?
00:11:39Yes, I'm sure.
00:11:42Go.
00:12:04Hello?
00:12:05We'll do it.
00:12:06But I've got conditions.
00:12:09No love, no feelings, no kissing, and no sex.
00:12:15And Sky's safety comes first above anything else.
00:12:17Always.
00:12:18You cross that line, and I'm out.
00:12:20Hi.
00:12:33I haven't been fully honest with the public.
00:12:37The man I kissed in that video
00:12:39wasn't a stranger.
00:12:42He was my husband.
00:12:44And this, this is my daughter.
00:12:50My family.
00:12:52Kiss.
00:12:55Kiss.
00:12:57Kiss.
00:12:58Kiss.
00:12:58Kiss.
00:13:14Kiss.
00:13:14Kiss.
00:13:18Well, well.
00:13:21A family woman now, huh?
00:13:24Cute press conference.
00:13:26Shame it's all bullshit.
00:13:27Oh, please, Walter.
00:13:29You lie for a living.
00:13:31You wouldn't recognize the truth
00:13:32if it smacked you in the face.
00:13:34This isn't a dollhouse, sweetie.
00:13:37This is real politics.
00:13:39Little girls playing house like you
00:13:41You don't belong here. I'm warning you. I'm going to chew you up and spit you up.
00:13:48Honey, is he bothering you?
00:13:53A little.
00:13:56Fine, fine. Why don't we make it official? Public dinner. All of us, tonight, at your place, where I'm sure you live like a happy family.
00:14:06We'd be delighted.
00:14:11Okay, we need to sell this fully, which means you're moving in tonight.
00:14:30We live here now?
00:14:36Wow.
00:14:39This place is huge.
00:14:41You like it?
00:14:50You live here all by yourself?
00:14:53Must get lonely.
00:14:56Did you bring what I asked?
00:14:59Yeah.
00:14:59Yeah.
00:14:59Oh.
00:15:12Is that a photo of your wife?
00:15:14Uh, used to be.
00:15:16Wow.
00:15:26My house is officially a mess.
00:15:29Welcome to the club.
00:15:33Oh, um, Miss Nora?
00:15:35Sweetie.
00:15:36So just remember, you're supposed to call me mom in public now, okay?
00:15:40Okay.
00:15:40Um, it's just your dress.
00:15:42Oh, shit.
00:15:44Oh, shit.
00:15:45I mean, I'm so sorry.
00:15:47Damn it.
00:15:48Fuck.
00:15:48I'm so sorry.
00:15:49I'm so sorry.
00:15:50I'm gonna go change, okay?
00:15:56Where do you think this should go?
00:16:00Nora?
00:16:00Nora?
00:16:00Oh, my God!
00:16:16Oh, my God!
00:16:18I am so sorry.
00:16:20I was just, um, I thought that, um, I'll just go.
00:16:25Wait.
00:16:27Hold on.
00:16:27Can you help me?
00:16:28I can't reach this, and we're way past the dignity line.
00:16:36Please.
00:16:36Thanks.
00:17:02Could you?
00:17:02Huh?
00:17:06Okay, you can go now, Luke.
00:17:09Right.
00:17:14Oh, my God.
00:17:27Dad, seriously, close your mouth.
00:17:30Okay, flashcard time.
00:17:31We need to be airtight.
00:17:33Walter's out for blood, and this covers our story of how we met.
00:17:36First vacation, Skye's favorite color, fake pet names.
00:17:42We met at a mutual friend's fundraiser.
00:17:45First date, food truck and jazz in the park.
00:17:52Nicknames, no way.
00:17:55What is it?
00:17:57Say it with some conviction.
00:18:00Snuggle bear.
00:18:03Really?
00:18:03It tested well with voters.
00:18:09He's here early.
00:18:10We have to improvise.
00:18:11Mr. Comets.
00:18:12Mr. Comets.
00:18:13Mr. Comets.
00:18:26Mr. Comets.
00:18:28Mr. Walter.
00:18:29I drew you a picture.
00:18:30Oh, come on.
00:18:35Adorable.
00:18:42So, how did you two meet?
00:18:46Food truck and jazz in the park.
00:18:49Huh.
00:18:51And how long have you been together?
00:18:52Seven years.
00:18:53Nine years.
00:18:55Well, I guess time flies when you're pretending.
00:18:58And which school does the little actress go to?
00:19:03Oh.
00:19:04Not you.
00:19:05I was asking your mommy.
00:19:07Okay.
00:19:09Oak Ridge Elementary.
00:19:13Hmm.
00:19:14Well, what do you say we double-checked that, huh?
00:19:21Oh, Jesus.
00:19:22I'm so sorry.
00:19:23Jesus.
00:19:24I, uh, here.
00:19:28Oh, well, I'm exhausted.
00:19:34I'm very tired.
00:19:35What a day.
00:19:37I think it's time we go to bed.
00:19:39Let's go, sweetheart.
00:19:43Good job.
00:19:45Let's skip the BS.
00:19:56We both know your husband acts fake.
00:19:58And whatever Nora's paying you,
00:20:00I'll double it.
00:20:02All you have to do is step outside
00:20:07and tell them the truth.
00:20:10This check could solve all of our problems.
00:20:23Well, that was a waste of a night.
00:20:27Well, that was a waste of a night.
00:20:30But before I go, I'll give you one last chance to confess and save face.
00:20:37I have nothing to confess.
00:20:41What about you, Mr. Nora West?
00:20:44Press is right outside.
00:20:49Apparently, there's a Walter tonight.
00:20:53You know, I actually prefer it this way.
00:20:56More of a challenge.
00:20:58My mom always taught me not to play with my food, but sometimes I just can't help myself.
00:21:05You and I, Nora, you both know there's a lot more going on here.
00:21:10Let me say hi.
00:21:19You really don't learn, do you?
00:21:20I'm going to take you down.
00:21:23I got this.
00:21:24You want to know why I'm doing this, Walter?
00:21:31Because men like you have always tried to control women at home, in politics, behind office doors, slapping your assistant's ass like it's all part of the job.
00:21:44But once I'm sworn in, that ends.
00:21:49Every lie, every threat.
00:21:52You'll answer for all of it.
00:21:55Everybody's having something, right?
00:21:56You chose this.
00:21:57And you're going down with the ship, lover boy.
00:22:00I'll take her home.
00:22:14No, don't be ridiculous.
00:22:15Just sit in there.
00:22:16No, you've already done way too much for us.
00:22:18No, it's fine.
00:22:19Just sleep.
00:22:19No, it's...
00:22:20I can take her.
00:22:21Just...
00:22:21Thank you for not taking the check.
00:22:36I don't break my word.
00:22:39You let me know if he tries anything else.
00:22:41Do you want to sleep in the bed?
00:22:45The guest room.
00:22:47Private bed.
00:22:48Alone.
00:22:48Separate.
00:22:49Not together.
00:22:49It's okay.
00:22:58I have a night shift.
00:22:59I'll be back in the morning.
00:23:01Toilets won't clean themselves, right?
00:23:03I'm so sorry.
00:23:08Would you look after Skye while I'm gone?
00:23:10Yeah, sure.
00:23:16Oh, my God.
00:23:17I am an idiot.
00:23:19I don't want you to feel lonely anymore.
00:23:28I don't want you to feel lonely anymore.
00:23:28Blanket?
00:23:38Get cozy.
00:23:41Yeah.
00:23:42Yeah.
00:23:50Low vibe.

00:27:03Jeff. Yeah, I mean, he shares his snacks with me.
00:27:07Okay, now that, that is true love.
00:27:11Yeah, for my dead body.
00:27:14Pulling Walter, that was the easy part.
00:27:16The real fight is going to be convincing the entire state.
00:27:19Spoken like a true politician.
00:27:23But let's worry about it, not just guys at school.
00:27:27Oh, take her today. I owe you.
00:27:30I was thinking like, oh my gosh. Poor kid. Looks like those clothes came straight from a dumpster.
00:27:38Oh, I wouldn't be surprised if we got a life snoo this next week. I mean, her dad sleeps in the locker room.
00:27:44She's no longer allowed to attend school here.
00:27:52I'm sorry, what?
00:27:54Excuse me, what's going on here?
00:27:56I'm sorry, but Skye can't come inside today. Her account is still unpaid.
00:28:00Seriously?
00:28:02We've reached out numerous times.
00:28:04I'm sorry, but there's nothing I can do until the balance has been cleared.
00:28:10Poor kid, I knew something was off.
00:28:12It's the dad, isn't it? It's rubbed off on them.
00:28:16You two want to run your mouth somewhere else?
00:28:18Excuse me?
00:28:19You say one more word about my daughter or her father and I promise you'll regret it.
00:28:25Alright, what's the damage?
00:28:29It's 10,000.
00:28:31Great! Handled.
00:28:37Are we done?
00:28:41Wait a minute.
00:28:43I recognize you from TV.
00:28:47You're running for Senator.
00:28:49Nora West, Skye's mother.
00:28:55Hi.
00:29:01Hi.
00:29:02Wait.
00:29:05How about we do something fun today?
00:29:07Skip school and don't tell dad.
00:29:09Hmm.
00:29:10I mean, I could write an entire book about stuff my dad doesn't know about, so...
00:29:14Let's add it to the book!
00:29:15Yay!
00:29:16Watch out!
00:29:25Oh my God!
00:29:26Yes!
00:29:27Yes!
00:29:28Yes!
00:29:29Yes!
00:29:30Thank you so much!
00:29:31Honestly, that was the most fun I've had in probably forever.
00:29:48Me too.
00:29:49What's your favorite dress?
00:29:50This one, of course.
00:29:51So pretty.
00:29:52Okay, so tell me.
00:29:56What is your dad really like?
00:29:58What do you want to know?
00:30:00You know, people think he's all grumpy and tough, but he's actually kind of hilarious.
00:30:06He used to be this like big fighter like posters on the wall famous until mom passed.
00:30:12I'm so sorry, sweetie.
00:30:15That must have been so much for you.
00:30:17I mean, I was really little.
00:30:19I don't even remember that much.
00:30:21Just what he tells me.
00:30:23His friends say he was loaded back then.
00:30:26When mom got sick, we sold everything.
00:30:30The house, car.
00:30:33We traveled all over.
00:30:35Trying every doctor we could find, but nothing worked.
00:30:41He never really let anybody in after that.
00:30:43I mean, until now.
00:30:45You mean me?
00:30:46Duh.
00:30:47I mean, we're not like-
00:30:49It's so obvious.
00:30:51Hold on one second.
00:30:55Eli, what's going on?
00:30:57You need to come back now.
00:30:58It's about Luke and his wife.
00:31:00You're going to want to sit.
00:31:01Give it to me straight.
00:31:02His name used to be everywhere.
00:31:03Undefeated.
00:31:04The press called him a storm in gloves.
00:31:05Luke Mad Dog Maddox.
00:31:06Then, one day, he just vanished.
00:31:07No last match.
00:31:08No press conference.
00:31:09He just walked away at the height of it all.
00:31:10Oh my god.
00:31:11So his wife got sick and then he left out.
00:31:12Oh my god.
00:31:13Oh my god.
00:31:14Oh my god.
00:31:15Oh my god.
00:31:16Oh my god.
00:31:17Oh my god.
00:31:18Oh my god.
00:31:19Oh my god.
00:31:20Oh my god.
00:31:21Oh my god.
00:31:22Oh my god.
00:31:23Oh my god.
00:31:24Oh my god.
00:31:25Oh my god.
00:31:27Oh my god.
00:31:28Oh my god.
00:31:29Luke got sick and then he left the ring behind forever to take care of her.
00:31:32She needed advanced treatment.
00:31:34Costly.
00:31:35He filed for coverage and the insurance company denied the claim.
00:31:38What company?
00:31:39Ten Way Health.
00:31:41You did contract compliance for them before you ran for city council.
00:31:44That's inhumane.
00:31:45Who signed the denial?
00:31:47It was you.
00:31:55You need to tell him.
00:31:58I will.
00:31:59Tonight.
00:32:00No.
00:32:01You are running out of time.
00:32:02Okay.
00:32:03If he hears this from somebody else.
00:32:04Hope I'm not interrupting.
00:32:07I just came to invite you to a friendly debate.
00:32:09Hmm.
00:32:10How charming.
00:32:11Eli.
00:32:12Call security.
00:32:17I'm not someone who can be brushed off.
00:32:19Let go of me.
00:32:20Let go of me.
00:32:21Shhh.
00:32:22Okay.
00:32:23Oh my god, this one?
00:32:24Whoa-ho-ho!
00:32:25Where'd the fashion show come from?
00:32:34This one?
00:32:46Whoa!
00:32:48Where'd the fashion show come from?
00:32:51Maybe a fairy godmother.
00:32:53Maybe not.
00:32:54I like that pink one.
00:32:57It's beautiful.
00:32:57I know.
00:32:58I like the purple one too, though.
00:32:59All right, kiddo.
00:33:04Show's over.
00:33:06Go do your homework.
00:33:17Luke, I have to tell you something.
00:33:19There you are.
00:33:21Everything you've done for Sky today,
00:33:23everything that you've done for us,
00:33:25I just, I wanted to say thank you.
00:33:27And, uh, will you go out with me?
00:33:33Like, like a real date?
00:33:36That's the idea.
00:33:38Yeah, I'd like that.
00:33:44What are you hiding behind your back?
00:33:50What are you hiding?
00:33:57Who did this?
00:34:00It's, it's nothing.
00:34:01I probably caught it on a door frame or something.
00:34:04It was Walter.
00:34:06I'll take care of him.
00:34:08No.
00:34:08If you lay a finger on him,
00:34:10he'll destroy your life.
00:34:11I don't care.
00:34:13And what about me?
00:34:15The husband of his opponent
00:34:16assaults a future senator?
00:34:18Fine.
00:34:18Fine.
00:34:20Then come with me.
00:34:21Oh, my God.
00:34:40Wow.
00:34:41So this is your idea of a romantic night out.
00:34:45Look, I can't always be there to protect you.
00:34:48You need to know how to defend yourself,
00:34:49especially from men like him.
00:35:02Here.
00:35:04Oh.
00:35:05I've never thrown a punch in my life.
00:35:10It's all about the breath
00:35:12and the control.
00:35:16Fist.
00:35:16Do it.
00:35:26Why don't we see what happens
00:35:27if we both stop holding back?
00:35:34Let's take this further.
00:35:35Oh, of course.
00:35:42That is exactly the type of further
00:35:44I was expecting.
00:35:49Oh, my God.
00:35:55All right.
00:35:56Step one.
00:35:57Balance.
00:35:58Uh, okay.
00:36:01Um,
00:36:02now left leg forward.
00:36:03Okay.
00:36:03Right leg back.
00:36:04Remember?
00:36:04And twist.
00:36:06Good.
00:36:07Guard up.
00:36:09Jab with your left.
00:36:10Remember?
00:36:10Jab left.
00:36:12Jab.
00:36:12And twist.
00:36:13Okay.
00:36:14I think I got it.
00:36:16Yeah?
00:36:16Yeah.
00:36:17We'll see.
00:36:17Try to knock me off balance.
00:36:21No, not like that.
00:36:22Use your whole body.
00:36:24Momentum, not muscle.
00:36:26Try again.
00:36:26Oh.
00:36:32Wow.
00:36:33Uh, not bad.
00:36:35I'm more dangerous than I look.
00:36:42Now, your turn.
00:36:44What the hell am I thinking?
00:37:10His wife died because of me.
00:37:15What's wrong?
00:37:17Nothing.
00:37:19Hey.
00:37:20Talk to me.
00:37:21Why'd you stop fighting?
00:37:26You've been digging.
00:37:27Let's just say I'm not the type to have some random stranger move in, no matter how adorable
00:37:32his daughter is.
00:37:33Skye's mom got sick.
00:37:33Huh.
00:37:37Skye's mom got sick.
00:37:39We thought the insurance companies would help us, but they shut the door.
00:37:43I fought like hell.
00:37:47But it didn't matter.
00:37:51After she died, I had a choice.
00:37:53Keep fighting and maybe not hit make it home one day.
00:37:57Or quit.
00:37:59I chose Skye.
00:38:01I'm so sorry.
00:38:04She talks about you all the time, you know.
00:38:07You're the closest thing she's ever had to a real mother.
00:38:10I can't do this.
00:38:13You're, uh, you're seeing someone else?
00:38:15No.
00:38:16No.
00:38:17No.
00:38:17I have to go home.
00:38:35Partners are losing their patience.
00:38:38What's it gonna be?
00:38:40I'm not taking a fall.
00:38:47Then you're useless to me.

00:47:36Yeah, maybe you don't.
00:47:40I need to tell you something.
00:47:42There's going to be a fight.
00:47:43You lied to me.
00:47:46Just listen.
00:47:47You said you'd never fight again.
00:47:49I have to.
00:47:49No, you just want to.
00:47:52You can't promise that you won't get hurt.
00:47:56I swear.
00:47:56You're not allowed to get hurt.
00:48:04I'll be sure and tell the other guy.
00:48:07Come here.

00:48:12I promise.
00:48:12I promise.

00:48:48He shouldn't be here.
00:48:50Walter's here.
00:48:51Something is wrong.
00:48:52I can feel it.
00:48:53Please don't do this.
00:48:54Not for me,
00:48:55but for Skye.
00:48:56I'm doing this fight for her.

00:50:15No.
00:50:25Something's not right! Call off the fight!
00:50:39Relax. Punch is part of the job.
00:50:42Get out of here!
00:50:48Get out of here, baby! Look out!
00:50:55Get out of here!
00:51:10What the hell?
00:51:14What the hell was that, Maddox?
00:51:15Huh? You went off script!
00:51:17Yeah, so did your guy. His gloves are loaded.
00:51:20You have no idea who's watching this.
00:51:23People with a lot of cash.
00:51:25And a lot of power.
00:51:26And they don't like surprises, alright?
00:51:29Trust me.
00:51:30You don't want them turning their attention to you, Luke.
00:51:37That's Maddox to you.
00:51:39Come on.
00:51:42Look out.
00:51:47God, hey.
00:51:49I'll be getting up next.
00:51:51I've got a chance.
00:51:53I've got a chance.
00:51:55This is Maddox to you.
00:51:57What's up?
00:51:58What?
00:51:59I've got a chance.
00:52:00You've got a chance.
00:52:01You've got something.
00:52:02I've got a chance.
00:52:03You've got a chance.
00:52:04You've got a chance.
00:52:05Keep it up!
00:52:08Woo!
00:52:10Now this is a show!
00:52:13You know, you're welcome to hate the guy across from you.
00:52:16But you might want to save some of that for the woman cheering behind you.
00:52:24I'll save you the time.
00:52:25Insurance rejection, treatment, denial.
00:52:28Signed and sealed by none other than Nora West.
00:52:32Your supposed family.
00:52:34Oh, and oh yeah, she knew.
00:52:36I found these in her office.
00:52:38She let your wife die and still showed up playing family.
00:53:03You promised you wouldn't get hurt.
00:53:08No!
00:53:09No!
00:53:10No!
00:53:11No!
00:53:12No!
00:53:13No!
00:53:14No!
00:53:15No!
00:53:16No!
00:53:17No!
00:53:18Look!
00:53:19Look!
00:53:20I can't wait!
00:53:21Look!
00:53:22I can't wait!
00:53:23Somebody help!
00:53:28You promised you wouldn't get hurt.
00:53:31Come here, baby.
00:53:32Come here.
00:53:33You can't go!
00:53:35Not like Mom!
00:53:36Please!
00:53:37Everything's gonna be okay.
00:53:38I'm here.
00:53:39We're together.
00:53:40He's gonna get better, alright?
00:53:43I promise.
00:53:50You are...
00:53:51His wife.
00:53:52The scans show a cerebral hemorrhage, bleeding in the brain.
00:53:57We've stabilized him, but he's in a coma.
00:54:00So, what do we do now?
00:54:02Right now, all we can do is wait.
00:54:07I've been trying to reach you.
00:54:08The debate is tomorrow.
00:54:09Are you still trying to be senator or what?
00:54:10We'll be ready.
00:54:11We'll be ready.
00:54:12I've been trying to reach you.
00:54:16The debate is tomorrow.
00:54:17Are you still trying to be senator or what?
00:54:23We'll be ready.
00:54:35Mr. Kane, your response to Ms. West's education plan?
00:54:40Very ambitious.
00:54:40For someone who clearly has no idea what she's talking about.
00:54:45We need real policy, not idiotic idealism.
00:54:49If ambition scares you, Mr. Kane, maybe you're in the wrong race.
00:54:55I believe in reform that uplifts every family, not just my opponent and his friends.
00:55:06Speaking of family, I'm truly sorry to hear about Mr. West.
00:55:10It takes real strength to be here while he's fighting for his life.
00:55:17And that deserves our respect, huh?
00:55:20Taking care of a child while her father is practically dead.
00:55:28It's so hard for you to keep your family stable.
00:55:31Can you really lead this state on your own?
00:55:34He's not dead!
00:55:35Of course, of course not, no.
00:55:41But maybe this is an opportunity for you to focus on what's really important.
00:55:46Your daughter.
00:55:47And when I'm re-elected, I promise to fight for single mothers.
00:55:51Just like you.
00:55:52Miss West, your response?
00:56:02That concludes our debate.
00:56:05Hi, baby.
00:56:16Are you okay?
00:56:18Yeah.
00:56:21Great.
00:56:23Tough night.
00:56:26She held your ground.
00:56:28And you.
00:56:29You're a brave little girl, just like your mommy.
00:56:32Don't touch her.
00:56:34Relax.
00:56:35Just being friendly.
00:56:37You know, my offer still stands.
00:56:41When this is all over, I want you on my team.
00:56:44I already have a position in mind.
00:56:48You son of a...
00:56:50Leave us alone.
00:56:54Come on.
00:56:54I want a DNA test.
00:57:03Quietly.
00:57:07Jeep in a heap.
00:57:08Sheep weep.
00:57:11Sheep sweep the heap.
00:57:13Jeep for sale.
00:57:14Jeep.
00:57:17It's your favorite.
00:57:19Remember?
00:57:20Remember?
00:57:20Remember?
00:57:24All right, kiddo.
00:57:28Time for homework.
00:57:43Luke.
00:57:44You made a promise.
00:57:47Please.
00:57:49I'm begging you.
00:57:51Please.
00:57:51You have to come back.
00:57:53I can't do this without you.
00:57:57Luke.
00:57:59Luke.
00:58:01Luke.
00:58:03Oh, my God.
00:58:05Luke, you're awake.
00:58:06You came back.
00:58:10Hi.
00:58:11Hi.
00:58:13Skye.
00:58:14She's here.
00:58:15She didn't leave your side.
00:58:19Neither did you.
00:58:20She's been reading to you every night.
00:58:24Is it true, Nora?
00:58:26Walter said that you signed the insurance denial.
00:58:29The one that killed my wife.
00:58:32Dad!
00:58:34Baby.
00:58:35Hey, baby.
00:58:38You promised you wouldn't get hurt.
00:58:40I know.
00:58:41I'm sorry.
00:58:43Listen, I heard your voice.
00:58:44It brought me back.
00:58:45Luke.
00:58:48Luke.
00:58:49Walter wasn't lying.
00:58:54You, uh...
00:58:55You killed her.
00:59:00I'm so sorry.
00:59:02But, um, for what it's worth, back then, the higher-ups, we had to be signing all of
00:59:08these contracts for them.
00:59:10And it was their way of dodging all responsibility.
00:59:14I just signed what I was told to sign.
00:59:18I'll stay out of your lives from now on.
00:59:20Don't go.
00:59:27I can't put you, Skye, in danger.
00:59:35Ew!
00:59:36I have to do this.
00:59:41Alone.
00:59:43No, you don't.
00:59:44You don't have to do anything alone.
01:00:03Okay?
01:00:07That's that door, sweetheart.
01:00:08I don't even know in a horse.
01:00:11Is it true that Nora has a daughter?
01:00:14There's something I need to confess.
01:00:23Apologies for the delay.
01:00:25My wife and I are very happy to be here.
01:00:33If your mom becomes a senator, you won't be seeing much of her.
01:00:37I guess that's fine.
01:00:38I mean, I'll just have my people call her people, and, you know, we'll fit a time in
01:00:41our busy schedules for dinner.
01:00:43Okay, we might actually pull this out.
01:00:49Quite the performance.
01:00:52Since tonight is about truth and leadership, I have something important to share with the
01:00:57room.
01:00:57This DNA test proves that Skye Maddox is not biologically related to Nora West.
01:01:08Nora, is this true?
01:01:11Yes, it's true.
01:01:12Skye is not my biological daughter.
01:01:15And there it is.
01:01:16The truth.
01:01:18Finally.
01:01:19This was never about public service.
01:01:21This was a stunt.
01:01:23A manipulative lie to win votes.
01:01:26He's right.
01:01:26Nora is not Skye's biological mother.
01:01:30Yeah.
01:01:31But she's the one that Skye deserves.
01:01:34A mother isn't just someone who gives birth.
01:01:37It's the person who stays.
01:01:40Who shows up.
01:01:41Who puts the kid first every single time.
01:01:45Yeah, Walter.
01:01:46Nora is my mommy.
01:01:49Touching.
01:01:50But this isn't about bedtime stories.
01:01:53This is about leadership.
01:01:55About responsibility.
01:01:57About honor.
01:01:59Honor, you say, huh?
01:02:00I'm glad you brought that up.
01:02:02Let's talk about honor.
01:02:07Breaking news.
01:02:09Senatorial candidate Walter Cain implicated in a fight-fixing scandal.
01:02:14Leaked footage shows him bribing fighters to throw matches.
01:02:16Hmm.
01:02:20Come on.
01:02:21This.
01:02:22These videos are obviously fake.
01:02:24They're deep fakes.
01:02:25It's.
01:02:26This is political sabotage.
01:02:28And yet there you are in every frame.
01:02:32Shoot.
01:02:41You sealed it down, Nora.
01:02:45Now you're really done.
01:02:50It's okay.
01:03:02I can't move my arm.
01:03:07Sorry, sweetie.
01:03:08Are you sure you're recovered enough for this?
01:03:31I guess there's only one way to find out.
01:03:32I'll be waiting, waiting in silence to see a little, bit of fire, but all I see is you, you.
01:03:47Yeah, I'll be waiting, waiting in silence to see a little, bit of fire, but all I see is you, you.
01:04:03I can't forget.
01:04:04I can't forget.
01:04:05I can't forget.
01:04:07I can't forget.
01:04:09I can't forget.
01:04:10I need you to be a friend.
01:04:15So I'll be sick and soon.
01:04:19You know this doesn't change anything.
01:04:42you know this doesn't change anything
01:04:46the votes in a few days and
01:04:49when it's over
01:04:51win or lose
01:04:52we're done
01:04:54that was the deal
01:04:56no, don't do this
01:04:59come on, Nora
01:05:00you're chasing something big
01:05:02I won't be the one who slows you down
01:05:10and if I lose

01:11:27I'm resigning as senator
01:11:29The story I told you about my family was fake
01:11:35I hired actors to play the part
01:11:38And I let you down
01:11:40I am no longer fit to represent you
01:11:44That's why I would like to endorse my opponent
01:11:49To be the next senator
01:11:51And there's more
01:11:59I'm thrilled to announce that Nora is pregnant
01:12:08And we're engaged
01:12:10They say it's bad luck to see the bride before the wedding
01:12:35But I just couldn't resist
01:12:37You had the judge strip custody
01:12:40And took Skye without a trace
01:12:42How did she do it?
01:12:44Bribed him
01:12:44Easy
01:12:45No one asks questions when you're the one holding the pen
01:12:48You?
01:12:50You're untouchable
01:12:51What?
01:12:59You little
01:13:00Don't do anything rash, Walter
01:13:02Listen to me
01:13:04Guess it's true what they say about bad luck
01:13:07Nora?
01:13:12Nora?

01:13:50And who's gonna stop me?
01:13:56Me

01:16:11I love you too
01:16:12Mrs. Senator!
01:16:32Mrs. West, what's the first thing you'll tackle in office?
01:16:38Go get him, Senator
01:16:39Nora West, people are dying to know
01:16:54What do you have to say?
01:16:55What do you have to say?
01:16:55You got him, brands that all we have to say?
01:16:58No, then you can all that
01:16:59I am
01:16:59You're really sorry
01:17:00That's your fault
01:17:02I love you too

01:17:22wallPyshm landing
01:17:23Judging from here, you're all alone. Do you ever dream of a happy home? I'm wishing that everyone finds their place. I'm wishing the world more grace.
01:17:39One more night, one more day, trouble. It takes time. One more flight, one more sunset and all. Yes, it takes time.
01:17:57And we'll dance to the downfall. Happy highs, happy run low.
