00:29:48one criticism
00:29:49is that you're
00:29:50all style
00:29:51and no substance
00:29:52that you offer
00:29:53no real solutions
00:29:54to the issues
00:29:55well
00:29:55take small business
00:29:56for example
00:29:57I proposed
00:29:58we raise
00:29:59workers wages
00:30:00which places
00:30:01a financial burden
00:30:02on small businesses
00:30:04right
00:30:04how can anyone
00:30:05benefit
00:30:06if they can't
00:30:06afford to keep
00:30:07the business
00:30:07running
00:30:08yes
00:30:13you'll have to
00:30:13excuse me
00:30:14I'm having a little
00:30:16trouble articulating
00:30:16at the moment

00:30:18servant's job
00:30:19to articulate
00:30:20things to the public

00:30:24unfocused
00:30:25since that
00:30:25waitress
00:30:26advisor left
00:30:27he's stressed
00:30:28he's been focusing
00:30:30so much
00:30:31on the campaign
00:30:31he could use
00:30:33a little
00:30:33feminine comfort
00:30:35I wish
00:30:36that would be
00:30:38my dream

00:30:40Owen for years
00:30:41well now's the time

00:34:06I will allow you to continue working
00:34:08for Owen
00:34:09as long as
00:34:11you never tell him
00:34:12that Tom is his son
00:34:14or anyone else
00:34:16or what
00:34:16this time
00:34:17hmm
00:34:18Tom is an A plus student
00:34:20nobody's going to expel him
00:34:23because of one of your wins
00:34:24not this time
00:34:25especially not
00:34:26when they all find out
00:34:27that he is the child
00:34:29of our next mayor
00:34:31sweetheart
00:34:33you underestimate me
00:34:34Tom is my grandchild
00:34:37I have no intention
00:34:38of pressuring anyone
00:34:40to expel him
00:34:41really?
00:34:42no
00:34:42I'll let fate do that for me
00:34:46I would um
00:34:47answer that if I were you
00:34:52uh Miss Holden
00:34:54hi
00:34:54is everything okay
00:34:56what's wrong
00:34:56did something happen to Tom?
00:34:58not to Tom
00:34:59by Tom
00:35:00he vandalized the school's computer lab
00:35:02wait
00:35:03sir
00:35:03what?
00:35:05that
00:35:05no
00:35:05that doesn't sound like Tom
00:35:06he would never
00:35:07I know
00:35:08but the damage was so severe
00:35:10we brought in the police
00:35:11and we have Tom's DNA
00:35:13at the scene
00:35:15DNA?
00:35:16I'm sorry to tell you
00:35:18Tom is suspended from school
00:35:21and thus
00:35:22disqualified
00:35:23for the student council elections
00:35:25no no no no no
00:35:26Miss Holden
00:35:26please
00:35:27look this is just
00:35:28this is a terrible mistake
00:35:31Tom loves this school
00:35:32he loves it
00:35:33he would never do anything like that
00:35:35parents often have blind spots
00:35:37when it comes to their children
00:35:39the school board will meet
00:35:41and decide
00:35:42if Tom should be expelled
00:35:44ex-
00:35:44goodbye
00:35:50another fatherless child turned to crime
00:35:53first there'll be a police report
00:35:56then child welfare will get involved
00:35:59why you might lose everything
00:36:02what kind of person frames their own grandchild?
00:36:07a woman
00:36:09who loves her son
00:36:12now are you going to keep your mouth shut
00:36:15about Tom being Owens
00:36:16or are you going to open it
00:36:18and ruin Tom's life?
00:36:24fine
00:36:27you win
00:36:29I won't say anything to Owen or to Tom
00:36:32but you have to get this little incident
00:36:35erased off of Tom's record
00:36:36oh
00:36:37I can't do that
00:36:39but
00:36:39I can't have him reinstated
00:36:42in the student council election
00:36:44on the condition that
00:36:47you get out of our lives
00:36:49the moment this campaign ends
00:36:53fine
00:36:59yes it's a lot of nuance
00:37:01it's hard to explain
00:37:02a few short soundbikes
00:37:03but
00:37:04yes thank you for your time
00:37:07I hope
00:37:08everyone listening goes out the boat
00:37:22hello
00:37:23you okay in there?
00:37:25go away
00:37:26I'm sorry you're having a hard time kid
00:37:29I can relate
00:37:31I once locked myself in that same stall after a bad day
00:37:34long time ago
00:37:41why would someone lie about me destroying the computer lab?
00:37:44I didn't even do anything
00:37:45yeah you know in politics you learn a lot about lies
00:37:49liars are weak
00:37:51and they're afraid of the truth
00:37:52you just might have been the truth for someone
00:37:55who are you running against?
00:37:57Jaden Green
00:37:58but I don't think it's him
00:38:00yesterday
00:38:00our class pet
00:38:02Yerwill the gerbil
00:38:03bit him
00:38:04he was crying for two hours
00:38:09how does Joe Callahan
00:38:11have such an amazing son
00:38:12and he's not even around?
00:38:16well Jaden might not be the criminal mastermind
00:38:18but
00:38:19you know what else I've learned?
00:38:22the truth always wins in the end
00:38:25keep the faith
00:38:43you always stick your tongue out like that when you're concentrating?
00:38:47I guess
00:38:48I do the same thing
00:38:52he couldn't be mine
00:38:53could he?
00:38:56Tom
00:38:57I heard about the computer lab
00:38:59I'm so sorry
00:39:00are you okay?
00:39:01where are you?
00:39:03oh
00:39:05Ms. Holden
00:39:07hi
00:39:07what are you doing here?
00:39:08following up on your son's vandalism
00:39:11I don't know if you understand
00:39:13how much damage was done
00:39:15it looks even worse than
00:39:17your house
00:39:18oh
00:39:19oh
00:39:19um
00:39:20sorry
00:39:21I just
00:39:21I started a new job
00:39:23and I haven't really had time to go
00:39:24I admit I was surprised to learn
00:39:26Tom was behind it
00:39:27he's a model student
00:39:29but
00:39:29now he understands
00:39:32children often act out
00:39:34when they are neglected
00:39:36neglected?
00:39:38I would never neglect
00:39:40Tom
00:39:41and he didn't act out
00:39:42he was framed
00:39:42oh well
00:39:43if you know the perpetrator
00:39:45I'd love to know
00:39:46she'll never believe Eleanor did it
00:39:48not without any proof
00:39:49and then Tom would get thrown out
00:39:51I know Tom like the back of my hand
00:39:54he would never act out like this
00:39:55the evidence says otherwise
00:39:58and uh
00:39:59as the parent
00:40:01it is your responsibility
00:40:03to pay for the damages
00:40:07$20,000?
00:40:10well I don't have that kind of money
00:40:12Miss Watson
00:40:13your son smashed
00:40:1615 laptops
00:40:17and broke 3 windows
00:40:18the only reason
00:40:20he did not get expelled
00:40:21is because Eleanor Carter
00:40:24spoke on his behalf
00:40:25who's the one who did this
00:40:27in the first place?
00:40:28and if I leave your house today
00:40:30without a check
00:40:31even she can't help him
00:40:35Tom?
00:40:37where were you?
00:40:39wait
00:40:40are you saying
00:40:41you had no idea
00:40:43where your son was
00:40:44this whole time?
00:40:45his bus should have
00:40:46dropped him off
00:40:46long ago
00:40:47I missed it
00:40:49what?
00:40:50how did you get home?
00:40:52I got a ride
00:40:53with who?
00:40:53this is far worse
00:40:55than I imagined
00:40:56your son is hitchhiking
00:40:58I'm afraid
00:40:59I'm going to have to
00:41:00report you to

00:42:16raising Tom

00:42:51should know his father?
00:42:53I agree
00:42:53he should
00:42:55but
00:42:58Joe's father
00:42:59forced me to keep it
