00:00:03Oh 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
00:00:15family experience telling us how to raise ours. Hashtag vote Walter Kane.
00:00:23Ooh, 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.
00:00:54Outlaid sugar? Hi. Nora West, running for senator. I never fucked a senator before.
00:01:09Get off me! Get off me! Let her go. Keep on moving, tough guy. You don't want to do that.
00:01:38Hell no! It's Mad Dog!
00:01:42Move!
00:02:01I'm fine. I'm so sorry. I have everything I need to patrol. I'm fine.
00:02:07Whoa. Easy. You're alright. You kissed your hero? Was he hot? Eli, I was assaulted.
00:02:26Right. Sorry. We should file a police report. Walter! We love you too!
00:02:35Oh, stop. Thank you. Thank you. Easy. Oh, fantastic. Here we go.
00:02:43Oh, my gosh. I love you so much. I love you so much. Well, Nora West, you know, most people
00:02:52with your numbers would have bowed out by now. I'm the only thing stopping you from selling
00:02:58out the people of California to your highest donors.
00:03:04The owners don't want the truth. They want fairy tales. Yeah. Smiles. Kissing babies.
00:03:10The whole shebang. And what are you offering? Angry 30-something. Can't keep a man.
00:03:22Forget politics. Make some money off your looks. Well, you still got them.
00:03:46Oh, no. Nora, what did you do? Get that taken down now!
00:03:57I can't. It's everywhere. You kissed a stranger in a dark alley? The voters are going to think
00:04:06that you're feral. You need a family angle to fix this now.
00:04:10Great, Eli. I can't conjure a family out of thin air.
00:04:29You're lucky. You're cute. I thought pink was your favorite color. We're on the clock,
00:04:34princess, huh? Got ten minutes. Let's go. I'll be right back, sunshine.
00:04:46Wait. He's not going to make you fight again. Is he?
00:04:54No way. My pinky promise. I need a raise. Then get back in the ring and fight. You remember him?
00:05:19Huh?
00:05:22You were a king. Now look at you. Mopping, pissing, wearing, I don't know. What is that?
00:05:29Eyeliner? Don't you miss the rush?
00:05:47No. Get back to scrubbing toilets.
00:06:03Put up a damn sign next time, dumbass.
00:06:11Let me help.
00:06:13Uh, what about your math homework?
00:06:15It's done.
00:06:26I'll find you a family. For now, focus on optics. You need to look like you care about cardio.
00:06:32Okay, but I don't. Nobody does.
00:06:36Eli, I gotta call you back. Sweetheart?
00:06:40Hi.
00:06:41Why are you mopping the floor? Shouldn't you be in school?
00:06:43Oh, it's a Saturday.
00:06:45Where are your parents?
00:06:47Dad!
00:06:49Unbelievable! This is child labor! You're exploiting a little girl-
00:07:01You're alright?
00:07:06You...
00:07:08Déjà vu.
00:07:11Don't even think about kissing me again.
00:07:14Uh, you kissed me.
00:07:16That kiss nearly tanked my campaign.
00:07:18Wait, you two kissed?
00:07:20No!
00:07:21So, mop floors by day, play vigilante by night?
00:07:24Oh no, my dad's a professional fighter, but he promised he'd never fight again.
00:07:29Wait, you're her father? How 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 the bees.
00:07:38Okay, stop.
00:07:40So, you're seriously letting your daughter mop the floors? You do understand that child labor is against the law.
00:07:46She's mopping the floors. She ain't laying bricks.
00:07:48So, is this part of your new strategy to collect votes? Harass the constituents?
00:07:53Excuse me.
00:07:55Yeah.
00:07:56I know who you are.
00:07:58Hey!
00:08:00Wet floor?
00:08:02No sign?
00:08:04Uh...
00:08:04You're trying to get me sued, aren't you, huh? Get back to work.
00:08:14Wait!
00:08:16I 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.
00:08:27It'll only be for show.
00:08:30Politics, optics, you know.
00:08:31Come 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?
00:08:45It's not a lie, it's strategic storytelling.
00:08:48You'd be helping your daughter, helping me, help yourself.
00:08:51Here.
00:08:52At least...
00:08:54Just...
00:08:55Take my card.
00:08:59Good luck with your optics.
00:09:07Wait!
00:09:14Sidney, you can't stay.
00:09:16I have new tenants in, right now.
00:09:18No, Mike, listen to me, okay?
00:09:19I'll have the money for you tomorrow morning, I swear to you.
00:09:21That's what you said last week, Maddox.
00:09:22I don't run a charity.
00:09:23Look, Luke...
00:09:25We got nowhere else to go, man.
00:09:28Don't make me call the cops.
00:09:29Wait!
00:09:30No, Mike, Mike, Mike, please!
00:09:36It's okay, Dad.
00:09:37A home isn't a place.
00:09:40It's you and me.
00:10:08I'm calling about your offer.
00:10:14I thought about what you said.
00:10:18And I need the money.
00:10:20Fast.
00:10:22For my daughter.
00:10:28This is a championship bout.
00:10:30Next 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.
00:10:41Just lights, crowds, cash.
00:10:44You'll walk away rich.
00:10:45People will pay a lot of money
00:10:47to see their unbeatable mad dog go down.
00:10:52I 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.
00:10:57But don't take too long.
00:10:59They're not the patient type.
00:11:15Being brave means doing the hard thing.
00:11:17And who told you that?
00:11:19You did, Daddy.
00:11:27Keep your guard up.
00:11:29Uh, go get a snack in the locker room, honey, okay?
00:11:34Hey, no sweets.
00:11:38Are you sure?
00:11:40Yes, I'm sure.
00:11:42Go.
00:12:03Hello?
00:12:05We'll do it.
00:12:07But I've got conditions.
00:12:09No love, no feelings, no kissing, and no sex.
00:12:14And Sky's safety comes first above anything else.
00:12:17Always.
00:12:18You cross that line, and I'm out.
00:12:31Hi.
00:12:32Hi.
00:12:32I haven't been fully honest with the public.
00:12:37The man I kissed in that video wasn't a stranger.
00:12:42He was my husband.
00:12:45And this, this is my daughter, my family.
00:12:51Kiss.
00:12:54Kiss.
00:12:57Kiss.
00:12:58Kiss.
00:13:13Kiss.
00:13:14Kiss.
00:13:17Well, well.
00:13:21A family woman now, huh?
00:13:24Cute press conference.
00:13:25Shame it's all bullshit.
00:13:27Oh, please, Walter.
00:13:29You lie for a living.
00:13:30You wouldn't recognize the truth if it smacked you in the face.
00:13:33This isn't a dollhouse, sweetie.
00:13:36This is real politics.
00:13:38Little girls playing house like you don't belong here.
00:13:42I'm warning you.
00:13:43I'm going to chew you up and spit you out.
00:13:49Honey, is he bothering you?
00:13:52A little.
00:13:55Fine, fine.
00:13:57Why don't we make it official?
00:13:59Public dinner.
00:14:00All of us, tonight, at your place, where I'm sure you live like a happy family.
00:14:05We'd be delighted.
00:14:18Okay, we need to sell this fully, which means you're moving in tonight.
00:14:30We live here now?
00:14:35Wow.
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?
00:14:58Yeah.
00:15:10Oh.
00:15:11Is that a photo of your wife?
00:15:14Uh, used to be.
00:15:25Wow.
00:15:26My house is officially a mess.
00:15:29Welcome to the club.
00:15:32Oh, um, Miss Nora?
00:15:35Sweetie.
00:15:36So, just remember, you're supposed to call me mom in public now, okay?
00:15:39Okay.
00:15:40Um, it's just your dress.
00:15:44Oh, shit.
00:15:45I mean, I'm so sorry.
00:15:47Damn it.
00:15:47Fuck.
00:15:48I'm so sorry.
00:15:49I'm so sorry.
00:15:49I'm gonna go change, okay?
00:15:55Where do you think this should go?
00:16:00Nora?
00:16:00Yeah.
00:16:06Oh, my God.
00:16:13Oh, my God.
00:16:18Oh, my God.
00:16:29Listen, we're way past the dignity line.
00:16:35Please.
00:16:37Please.
00:16:59Thanks, could you?
00:17:07Okay, you can go now, Luke.
00:17:09Right.
00:17:14Oh, God.
00:17:26Dad, seriously, close your mouth.
00:17:29Okay, flashcard time.
00:17:31We need to be airtight.
00:17:33Walter's out for blood,
00:17:34and this covers our story of how we met,
00:17:36first vacation,
00:17:37Skye's favorite color,
00:17:38fake pet names.
00:17:41We met at a mutual friend's fundraiser.
00:17:45First date,
00:17:47food truck and jazz in the park.
00:17:51Nicknames,
00:17:54no way.
00:17:56What is it?
00:17:58Say it with some conviction.
00:18:00Snuggle bear.
00:18:02Really?
00:18:03It tested well with voters.
00:18:09He's here early.
00:18:10We have to improvise.
00:18:12Mister Cain.
00:18:27Mister Walter, I drew you a picture.
00:18:33Oh, come on.
00:18:36Adorable.
00:18:42So, how did you two meet?
00:18:46Food truck and jazz in the park.
00:18:49And how long have you been together?
00:18:53Seven years.
00:18:53Nine years.
00:18:55Well, I guess time flies when you're pretending.
00:19:00And which school does the little actress go to?
00:19:03Oh.
00:19:04Not you.
00:19:05I was asking your mommy.
00:19:08Okay.
00:19:11Oak 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.
00:19:24Jesus.
00:19:24I, uh, here.
00:19:30Oh.
00:19:33Well, I'm exhausted.
00:19:35I'm very tired.
00:19:36What a day.
00:19:37I think it's time we go to bed.
00:19:39Let's go, sweetheart.
00:19:43Good job.
00:19:50Let's skip the BS.
00:19:56We both know your husband acts fake.
00:19:58And whatever Nora's paying you,
00:20:01I'll double it.
00:20:03All you have to do
00:20:05is step outside
00:20:08and tell them the truth.
00:20:21This check could solve all of our problems.
00:20:27Well, that was a waste of a night.
00:20:30But before I go,
00:20:32I'll give you one last chance
00:20:34to confess
00:20:34and save face.
00:20:36I have nothing to confess.
00:20:40And what about you,
00:20:42Mr. Nora West?
00:20:44Presses right outside.
00:20:49Apparently,
00:20:50dinner's on Walter tonight.
00:20:52You know,
00:20:53I actually prefer it this way.
00:20:55More of a challenge.
00:20:57My mom always told me
00:20:59not to play with my food,
00:21:00but sometimes I just can't help myself.
00:21:04You and I, Nora,
00:21:07we both know
00:21:08there's a lot more going on here.
00:21:10Me see I.
00:21:18You really don't learn, do you?
00:21:20I'm gonna take you down.
00:21:23I got this.
00:21:28You wanna know why
00:21:30I am doing this, Walter.
00:21:32Because men like you
00:21:34have always tried to control women.
00:21:36At home,
00:21:37in politics,
00:21:39behind office doors.
00:21:41Slapping your assistant's ass
00:21:43like it's all part of the job.
00:21:44But once I'm sworn in,
00:21:46that ends.
00:21:48Every lie,
00:21:50every threat.
00:21:51You'll answer for all of it.
00:21:54Everybody's having something, right?
00:21:56You chose this.
00:21:58and you're going down with the ship,
00:21:59lover boy.
00:22:13I'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.
00:22:17No way.
00:22:18It's fine to sleep.
00:22:19No, it's...
00:22:20I can take her.
00:22:20Just sit in there.
00:22:33Thank you for not taking the check.
00:22:36I don't break my word.
00:22:38You let me know if he tries anything else.
00:22:41Do you want to sleep in the bed?
00:22:44The guest room.
00:22:47Private bed, alone, separate, not together.
00:22:53Oh.
00:22:56It's okay.
00:22:57I have a night shift.
00:22:59I'll be back in the morning.
00:23:00Toilets won't clean themselves, right?
00:23:03I'm so sorry.
00:23:07Would you look after Skye while I'm gone?
00:23:09Yeah, sure.
00:23:15Oh my god.
00:23:17I am an idiot.
00:23:25I don't want you to feel lonely anymore.
00:23:37Blanket?
00:23:38Get cozy.
00:23:40Yeah.
00:23:41Yeah.
00:23:42God.
00:23:49One more, two.
00:23:50Low vibe.
00:23:51Nice.
00:23:52Alright, give me ten more reps.
00:23:53Nice.
00:23:53Good job.
00:24:09Easy, you're all right.
00:24:12Focus, she's the client, you're on the clock, not on a date.
00:24:35I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
00:24:39I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
00:24:49I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
00:24:51Forget it, Nora.
00:24:53You're okay.
00:24:55He has his life, you have yours.
00:24:57You've got an election to win.
00:25:33If you wake Skye and she hears us...
00:25:39What the...
00:25:43Ms. West, everything okay?
00:25:46Yes!
00:25:47Shampoo bottle just fell.
00:25:51Real slippery one.
00:25:54Okay.
00:25:57I'll be out in a minute!
00:26:00Oh, can you ask Dad if we can have pancakes for breakfast after he picks up the shampoo bottle?
00:26:07Yeah, sure kiddo.
00:26:08Yeah, pancakes coming right up.
00:26:27There's not a shampoo explosion in there, is there?
00:26:29No!
00:26:30No, no, no, no!
00:26:31No, no, no!
00:26:32On the side!
00:26:33It's fine.
00:26:36Okay.
00:26:38Bye.
00:26:44Yeah.
00:26:52So, any cute boys at school?
00:26:57Maybe.
00:26:59Since when?
00:27:00Okay.
00:27:01What's his name?
00:27:02Is he cute?
00:27:03Jeff.
00:27:04Yeah.
00:27:05I mean, he shares his snacks with me.
00:27:07Okay, now that...
00:27:09That is true love.
00:27:11Yeah, for my dead body.
00:27:14Pulling Walter?
00:27:15That was the easy part.
00:27:16The real fight is going to be convincing the entire state.
00:27:19Hmm.
00:27:20Spoken like a true politician.
00:27:22Hmm?
00:27:23But, let's worry about it, not just guys at school.
00:27:27Oh, take her today.
00:27:28I owe you.
00:27:32I was thinking like, oh my gosh.
00:27:35Poor kid.
00:27:36Looks like those clothes came straight from a dumpster.
00:27:38Oh, I wouldn't be surprised if we get a life snow this next week.
00:27:41I mean, her dad sleeps in the locker room.
00:27:48Geez.
00:27:49No longer allowed to attend school here.
00:27:52I'm sorry, what?
00:27:55Excuse me, what's going on here?
00:27:56I'm sorry, but Skye can't come inside today.
00:27:59Her account is still unpaid.
00:28:01Seriously?
00:28:02We've reached out numerous times.
00:28:06I'm sorry, but there's nothing I can do until the balance has been cleared.
00:28:09Poor kid, I knew something was off.
00:28:12It's the dad, isn't it?
00:28:13It's rubbed off on them.
00:28:15You 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.
00:28:26Alright.
00:28:27What's the damage?
00:28:28It's 10,000.
00:28:29Great.
00:28:31Handled.
00:28:36Are we done?
00:28:41Wait a minute.
00:28:42I recognize you from TV.
00:28:46You're running for Senator.
00:28:48Nora West, Skye's mother.
00:29:00Hi.
00:29:02Wait.
00:29:04How about we do something fun today?
00:29:07Skip school and don't tell Dad.
00:29:09I 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!
00:29:15Woo!
00:29:15Let's go!
00:29:29Oh my gosh!
00:29:30Yes!
00:29:37Yes!
00:29:41Thank you so much!
00:29:45Honestly, 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.
00:29:54Okay.
00:29:55So tell me, what is your dad really like?
00:29:59What do you want to know?
00:30:02You 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.
00:30:11Until Mom passed.
00:30:13I'm so sorry, sweetie.
00:30:15That must have been so much for you.
00:30:18I mean, I was really little.
00:30:20I don't even remember that much.
00:30:22Just what he tells me.
00:30:24His friends say he was loaded back then.
00:30:27When Mom got sick, we sold everything.
00:30:31The house, car.
00:30:33We traveled all over.
00:30:35Trying every doctor we could find, but...
00:30:39Nothing worked.
00:30:41He never really let anybody in after that.
00:30:44I mean, until now.
00:30:45You mean me?
00:30:47Duh!
00:30:48I mean, we're not, like...
00:30:49It's so obvious.
00:30:53Hold on one second.
00:30:56Eli, what's going on?
00:30:57You need to come back now.
00:30:59It's about Luke and his wife.
00:31:07You're gonna want to sit.
00:31:08Give it to me straight.
00:31:11His name used to be everywhere.
00:31:13Undefeated, the press called him a storm in gloves.
00:31:16Luke Mad Dog Maddox.
00:31:18Then, one day, he just vanished.
00:31:21No last match.
00:31:22No press conference.
00:31:23He just walked away at the height of it all.
00:31:26Oh, my God.
00:31:28So his wife got sick, and then he left the ring behind forever to take care of her.
00:31:32She needed advanced treatment.
00:31:33Costly.
00:31:34He filed for coverage, and the insurance company denied the claim.
00:31:37What company?
00:31:39Tenway 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.
00:32:00You are running out of time.
00:32:01Okay?
00:32:02If he hears this from somebody else-
00:32:04Hope I'm not interrupting.
00:32:06I just came to invite you to a friendly debate.
00:32:10How charming, Eli.
00:32:12Call security.
00:32:16I'm not someone who can be brushed off.
00:32:19Let go of me.
00:32:22Shhh.
00:32:25Shhh.
00:32:26Shhh.
00:32:26Shhh.
00:32:26Shhh.
00:32:29Shhh.
00:32:33Shhh.
00:32:34Shhh.
00:32:34Shhh.
00:32:38Shhh.
00:32:44Uh, this one?
00:32:46Whoa!
00:32:48Where'd the fashion show come from?
00:32:51Maybe a fairy godmother.
00:32:53Maybe not.
00:32:55I like that pink one. It's beautiful.
00:32:57I know. I like the purple one, too, though.
00:33:03Alright, kiddo. Show's over.
00:33:05Go do your homework.
00:33:16Uh, Luke, I have to tell you something.
00:33:18There you are.
00:33:21Everything you've done for Sky today,
00:33:22everything that you've done for us,
00:33:24I just, I wanted to say thank you.
00:33:27And, uh,
00:33:29will you go out with me?
00:33:32Like, 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?
00:33:58Who 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.
00:34:07No. If 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?
00:34:14The husband of his opponent assaults a future senator?
00:34:18Fine.
00:34:20Then come with me.
00:34:37Oh, my God.
00:34:40Wow.
00:34:41So this is your idea of a romantic night out.
00:34:44Look, I can't always be there to protect you.
00:34:47You need to know how to defend yourself,
00:34:49especially from men like him.
00:34:50You need to know how to defend yourself.
00:34:56That's the other thing.
00:34:57It's like this.
00:34:58Please, please.
00:34:58And you know how to defend yourself.
00:35:02This is what you're doing.
00:35:03Oh.
00:35:04I've never through the punch, my life.
00:35:07This is what you're doing.
00:35:10It's all about the breath.

00:40:02Can I adopt a turtle?
00:40:03Yeah, sure, honey.
00:40:05No, absolutely not.
00:40:07I have been clear about this from the get-go.
00:40:09No, keep it on.
00:40:10We're talking funding, everything.
00:40:13Can I go to the park?
00:40:14Yes, your honey.
00:40:16No.
00:40:18I'm pulling up the notes, okay?
00:40:20I will not be backing down from education reform.
00:40:23Keep the pressure on.
00:40:41We've gone over this over and over again.
00:40:43This is my entire campaign.
00:40:45Eli, of course you have to know this.
00:40:47This is why we pay you.
00:40:48What do you mean?
00:40:49Get them in touch.
00:40:53For sure.
00:40:54But I just think that, just do the job that you got.
00:40:57Skye?
00:40:57It would just blow a bit nicer.

00:41:28Can I go to the park?
00:41:30Oh, my God.
00:41:32She asked me, and I wasn't listening.
00:41:35Laura, what are you saying?
00:41:37She wanted to go to the park.
00:41:39The park?
00:41:41Jesus Christ!

00:47:37Maybe you don't.
00:47:40I need to tell you something.
00:47:41There's going to be a fight.
00:47:44You lied to me.
00:47:46Just listen.
00:47:46You said you'd never fight again.
00:47:48I have to.
00:47:49No, you just want to.
00:47:51You can't promise that you won't get hurt.
00:47:55I swear.
00:48:01You're not allowed to get hurt.

00:48:48He shouldn't be here.
00:48:49Walter's here.
00:48:50Something is wrong.
00:48:51I can feel it.
00:48:52Please don't do this.
00:48:54Not for me, but for Skye.
00:48:57I'm doing this fight for her.
00:49:00Luke, please.
00:49:02It's not too late to call it off.
00:49:17Hey.
00:49:46Anything you want to tell me?
00:49:48Yeah.
00:49:48Don't forget to take a fall in the sixth round.
00:49:51You got nothing to worry about.
00:49:53As long as you stay focused.
00:49:56Get in there.
00:49:58Get in there.
00:50:13Luke, please.
00:50:21You got it.
00:50:23You got it.
00:50:36Something's not right.
00:50:38Call off the fight.
00:50:39Relax.
00:50:40Punch is part of the job.
00:50:42Get out of there, baby.
00:50:50Get out of there.
00:51:00Get out of there.
00:51:02Get out of there.
00:51:13What the hell was that, Maddox?
00:51:15Huh?
00:51:16You went off script.
00:51:17Yeah, so did your guy.
00:51:19His gloves are loaded.
00:51:20You have no idea who's watching this.
00:51:23People with a lot of cash and a lot of power, and they don't like surprises, right?
00:51:29Trust me.
00:51:30You don't want them turning their attention to you, Luke.
00:51:37That's Maddox to you.
00:51:59Yeah, Luke, keep it up!
00:52:08Woo!
00:52:09Now this is a show!
00:52:12You know, you're welcome to hate the guy across from you, but you might want to save some of that
00:52:17with a woman cheering behind you.
00:52:23I'll save you the time.
00:52:25Insurance rejection, treatment, denial.
00:52:28Signed and sealed by none other than Nora West.
00:52:31Your supposed family.
00:52:33Oh, and oh yeah, she knew.
00:52:35I found these in her office.
00:52:38She let your wife die, and still showed up playing family.
00:52:51Oh, my God!
00:52:53Oh, my God!
00:53:08No!
00:53:09No!
00:53:12No!
00:53:15No!
00:53:16No!
00:53:18Look!
00:53:19Please!
00:53:22Somebody help!
00:53:27You promised you wouldn't get hurt.
00:53:31Come here, baby.
00:53:33He can't go.
00:53:34Not like Mom. Please.
00:53:36I know. Everything's gonna be okay.
00:53:38I'm here. We're together.
00:53:42He's gonna get better, alright?
00:53:43I promise.
00:53:50You are...
00:53:52His wife.
00:53:53The scans show a cerebral hemorrhage.
00:53:56Bleeding 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.
00:54:14I'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 Miss West's education plan?
00:54:39Very ambitious.
00:54:41For someone who clearly has no idea what she's talking about.
00:54:44We need real policy, not idiotic idealism.
00:54:49If ambition scares you, Mr. Kane, maybe you're in the wrong race.
00:54:54I believe in reform that uplifts every family.
00:54:59Not just my opponent and his friends.
00:55:06Speaking of family, I'm truly sorry to hear about Mr. West.
00:55:13It takes real strength to be here while he's fighting for his life.
00:55:17And that deserves our respect, huh?
00:55:24Taking 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?
00:55:33He's not dead!
00:55:34I just...
00:55:38Of course, of course not, no.
00:55:41But maybe this is an opportunity for you to focus on what's really important.
00:55:45Your daughter.
00:55:46And when I'm re-elected, I promise to fight for single mothers.
00:55:51Just like you.
00:55:54Miss West, your response?
00:56:02That concludes our debate.
00:56:12Hi, baby.
00:56:16Are you okay?
00:56:18Yeah.
00:56:20Great.
00:56:23Tough night.
00:56:24But you held your ground.
00:56:27And you.
00:56:29You're a brave little girl.
00:56:31Just like your mommy.
00:56:32Don't touch her!
00:56:34Relax.
00:56:35Just being friendly.
00:56:36You know, my offer still stands.
00:56:40This is all over.
00:56:42I want you on my team.
00:56:44I already have a position in mind.
00:56:48You son of a...
00:56:51Leave us alone.
00:56:53Oh, come on.
00:57:00Run a DNA test.
00:57:03Quietly.
00:57:06Jeep in a heap.
00:57:08Sheep weep.
00:57:10Sheep sweep the heap.
00:57:13Jeep for sale.
00:57:14Jeep.
00:57:17It's your favorite.
00:57:18Remember?
00:57:26Alright, kiddo.
00:57:27Time for homework.
00:57:42Luke.
00:57:44You made a promise.
00:57:47Please.
00:57:48I'm begging you.
00:57:50Please.
00:57:51You have to come back.
00:57:52I can't do this without you.
00:57:57Luke.
00:57:59Luke.
00:58:00Luke.
00:58:03Oh my god.
00:58:04Luke, you're awake.
00:58:06You came back.
00:58:09Hi.
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 reading to you every night.
00:58:24Is it true, Nora?
00:58:26Walter said that you signed the insurance denial.
00:58:28The one that killed my wife.
00:58:32Dad!
00:58:34Baby.
00:58:34Hey, baby.
00:58:38You promised you wouldn't get hurt.
00:58:40I know. I'm sorry.
00:58:42Listen, I heard your voice and it brought me back.
00:58:47Luke.
00:58:49Walter wasn't lying.
00:58:54You, uh...
00:58:56You 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 these contracts
00:59:09for them.
00:59:09And it was their way of dodging all responsibility.
00:59:13I just signed what I was told to sign.
00:59:17I'll stay out of your lives from now on.
00:59:24Don't go.
00:59:27I can't put you in Skye in danger.
00:59:35Ew!
00:59:39I have to do this.
00:59:41Alone.
00:59:42No, you don't.
00:59:45You don't have to do anything alone.
01:00:02You okay?
01:00:06That's that door, sweetheart.
01:00:07I don't even own a horse.
01:00:11Is it true that Nora has a daughter?
01:00:16There'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.
01:00:36I guess that's fine.
01:00:37I mean, I'll just have my people call her people and, you know, we'll fit a time in our busy
01:00:41schedules for dinner.
01:00:45Okay, we might actually pull this off.
01:00:49Quite the performance.
01:00:51Since tonight is about truth and leadership, I have something important to share with the room.
01:00:59This DNA test proves that Skye Maddox is not biologically related to Nora West.
01:01:09Nora, is this true?
01:01:11Yes, it's true. Skye is not my biological daughter.
01:01:15And there it is. The truth.
01:01:17Finally.
01:01:19This was never about public service.
01:01:21This was a stunt. A manipulative lie to win votes.
01:01:25He's right.
01:01:27Nora is not Skye's biological mother.
01:01:30Yeah.
01:01:32But she's the one that Skye deserves.
01:01:34A mother isn't just someone who gives birth.
01:01:36It's the person who stays.
01:01:39Who shows up.
01:01:41Who puts the kid first.
01:01:42Every single time.
01:01:45Yeah, Walter. Nora 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.
01:01:58Honor, you say, huh?
01:02:00I'm glad you brought that up. Let's talk about honor.
01:02:07Breaking news.
01:02:08Senatorial candidate Walter Cain implicated in a fight fixing scandal.
01:02:13Leaked footage shows him bribing fighters to throw matches.
01:02:19Come on.
01:02:21These videos are obviously fake. They're deepfakes.
01:02:25This is political sabotage.
01:02:27And yet there you are in every frame.
01:02:40You sealed it down, Nora.
01:02:45Now you're really done.
01:02:54That's okay.
01:03:02I can't move my arm.
01:03:04I can't move my arm.
01:03:06Sorry, sweetie.
01:03:27Are you sure you're recovered enough for this?
01:03:30I guess there's only one way to find out.
01:03:43You, you, you.
01:03:49You, you, you, you, you.
01:04:02You, I can't forget, I can't touch it
01:04:11I need you to be a fan, so I'll feel safe to see
01:04:44You know, this doesn't change anything
01:04:47The vote's in a few days, and when it's over, win or lose, we're done
01:04:54That was the deal
01:04:57No, don't do this
01:04:59Come on, Nora, you're chasing something big
01:05:03I won't be the one who slows you down
01:05:10And if I lose?
01:05:12We don't lose
01:05:14You and me
01:05:17We never do
01:05:28And with the final count in, the Senate seat goes to Nora West
01:05:37Congratulations, Madam Senator
01:05:44I couldn't have done it without you
01:05:46Yeah, I know
01:06:05Luke!
01:06:06Wait, please don't go
01:06:10This is your world, Nora
01:06:12It never was mine
01:06:16Nora
01:06:17The press are waiting, they want a statement
01:06:30You did it
01:06:31You're Senator
01:06:35Why do you look miserable?
01:06:39Doesn't feel like I thought I would
01:06:40Then call him
01:06:41He's probably moved on
01:06:53Just call her
01:06:56You miss her
01:06:57She misses you
01:07:14Luke Maddox
01:07:15Luke Maddox
01:07:15You're under arrest for assault
01:07:21Dad!
01:07:22Skye
01:07:22Hey, Skye
01:07:23It's okay
01:07:23I'm right here, honey
01:07:24It's okay
01:07:25Take your mouth
01:07:26Hey
01:07:27Hey
01:07:27Hey, get your hands off her
01:07:29Skye
01:07:31Hey
01:07:31Hey
01:07:32No
01:07:40Hey
01:07:40Hey, where's my daughter?
01:07:43Tell me where the hell she is
01:07:44Fresh meat
01:07:54Your bill's been paid
01:07:57By the Senator
01:08:19They took Skye
01:08:23Someone better tell me where the hell my daughter is
01:08:25Right now
01:08:26She's safe
01:08:28For now
01:08:34You son of a bitch
01:08:37Fine
01:08:39You took my daughter?
01:08:40I didn't take her
01:08:41The court did
01:08:43Turns out
01:08:44They're not too keen
01:08:45On fugitives
01:08:46With assault charges
01:08:47Playing daddy
01:08:49I'll bury you
01:08:50In lawsuits, Walter
01:08:51Every lawyer I have
01:08:52Will be on you
01:08:53By the morning
01:08:55By the time they file
01:08:56Skye will be
01:08:57Halfway across the world
01:08:59In a container
01:09:00There's a big
01:09:01Big market
01:09:02For closer range
01:09:04There's a way out
01:09:06You want me to resign?
01:09:08Smart girl
01:09:10That's not all
01:09:11My fiance is nice to look at
01:09:14But I'd rather tame
01:09:15The ferocious Nora West
01:09:18I want you to marry me
01:09:24I will sneak into the mansion
01:09:26Take out his guards
01:09:27One by one
01:09:27Luke
01:09:28I will find Skye
01:09:29He won't even know that I'm there
01:09:30Luke, stop
01:09:30Now that's exactly what I'll do
01:09:31Luke
01:09:32You don't know Walter like I do
01:09:34He doesn't bluff
01:09:36If you try anything Skye
01:09:37Is gone forever
01:09:41I'll marry him
01:09:42That's the only way
01:09:43No
01:09:44No, you are not
01:09:46Doing that
01:09:48If you two stay in my life
01:09:50He'll never stop
01:09:52He'll always be targets
01:09:55I don't care anymore
01:09:56Not about the contract
01:09:58Not about the campaign
01:09:59None of it
01:10:00I will find her
01:10:01And then I will take care of him
01:10:04You know
01:10:05When I got everything I wanted
01:10:08I thought it would feel different
01:10:10But when I won
01:10:13And you weren't by my side
01:10:14It meant nothing
01:10:17We'll find her
01:10:18Together
01:10:48Together
01:10:59Together
01:11:03Together
01:11:14Together
01:11:14Together
01:11:14Together
01:11:14Together
01:11:14Together
01:11:14Together
01:11:14Together
01:11:14Together
01:11:15Together
01:11:15Together
01:11:15Together
01:11:15Together
01:11:15Together
01:11:15Together
01:11:15Together
01:11:15Together
01:11:15Together
01:11:15Together
01:11:15Together
01:11:25I have an announcement to make
01:11:28I'm resigning as senator
01:11:31The story I told you about my family was fake
01:11:35I hired actors to play the part and
01:11:39I let you down
01:11:41I am no longer fit to represent you
01:11:45That's why I would like to endorse my opponent
01:11:49To be the next senator
01:11:57And there's more
01:12:05I'm thrilled to announce that Nora is pregnant
01:12:08And we're engaged
01:12:32They say it's bad luck to see the bride before the wedding
01:12:34But I just couldn't resist
01:12:38You had the judge strip custody and took Skye without a trace
01:12:42How did you do it?
01:12:43Bribed 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
01:12:57What?
01:12:59You little
01:13:00Don't do anything rash, Walter
01:13:01Listen to me
01:13:04I guess it's true what they say about bad luck
01:13:10Nora?
01:13:12Nora?
01:13:14Nora?
01:13:19Mommy!
01:13:20It's okay, baby
01:13:21It's okay
01:13:22Get
01:13:23Get off
01:13:23Fuck
01:13:24Oh
01:13:30It's over, Nora
01:13:32We're leaving
01:13:33Just the three of us
01:13:34Like one big happy family
01:13:37You're delusional
01:13:38No
01:13:39I am prepared
01:13:42Everything's arranged
01:13:43All we have to do now is
01:13:44Wait
01:13:47You're not taking her
01:13:49No
01:13:51And who's gonna stop me?
01:13:56Me
01:13:58It's gonna be alright, baby
01:14:00I'm here
01:14:01How?
01:14:05Oldest trick in the dad playbook
01:14:09He tagged her
01:14:13Get him!
01:14:26Everything I built
01:14:27Go on
01:14:28You did that to yourself
01:14:29Maybe
01:14:31But like I said
01:14:33You're going down with the ship
01:14:36Come here
01:14:37Come here
01:14:38Come on
01:14:42No
01:14:57Please
01:14:58Please hold long
01:14:59It's okay
01:14:59Don't go
01:15:00Please, baby
01:15:01Don't go
01:15:02I love you
01:15:04Please
01:15:15Skye
01:15:16Hi, dad
01:15:18You okay?
01:15:20I am now
01:15:33Well, I should go do my homework
01:15:35Love you
01:15:36I love you too
01:15:47You're really here
01:15:48I never left
01:15:51Even after everything
01:15:53You're worth it
01:15:55Every second
01:15:57You were the one thing
01:15:59I didn't know I needed
01:16:00Till it was almost too late
01:16:09I love you too
01:16:31Mrs. Senator
01:16:32Mrs. West
01:16:32What's the first thing
01:16:33You'll tackle in office?
01:16:38Go get him, Senator
01:16:50Nora West
01:16:51People are dying to know
01:16:53What do you have to say?
01:17:23Judging from here
01:17:24You're all alone
01:17:26Do you ever dream
01:17:29Of a happy home?
01:17:31I'm wishing that everyone
01:17:33Finds their place
01:17:35I'm wishing love
01:17:37One more grace
01:17:40One more night
01:17:41One more day
01:17:42Juggle
01:17:45It takes time
01:17:48One more flight
01:17:50One more sunset
01:17:51And all
01:17:53Yes, it takes time
01:17:56And we'll dance to the downfall
01:18:01Happy highs
01:18:02Happy highs
01:18:03Happy running low
01:18:04Happy running low
01:18:04Happy highs
01:18:04Happy highs
