00:28:20he's wrong
00:28:21okay
00:28:22no he isn't
00:28:23I'm withdrawing from the ring
00:28:25hey
00:28:25don't do that my love
00:28:26don't
00:28:27and tell me who my father is

00:28:33I promise
00:28:34just not right now
00:28:35why not
00:28:35it's complicated
00:28:36but I promise
00:28:38I promise you
00:28:39you do have a future
00:28:40even if you don't have a dad
00:28:41okay
00:28:41I hate you
00:28:48Sarah
00:28:49don't
00:28:50don't start
00:28:51with the you have to tell him
00:28:55Eleanor
00:28:55Eleanor threatened to expel him from school
00:28:59she's gonna ruin him before he even has a chance to start
00:29:01to be honest
00:29:03he's gonna give it all up himself
00:29:05because you're keeping this secret
00:29:07you're not 18 anymore
00:29:09if Eleanor fights 30
00:29:11you can fight back
00:29:13it's not just about me
00:29:16it's Owen
00:29:17if people find out that he had a kid out of wedlock in high school
00:29:21I mean he could lose this election
00:29:23his career could be over
00:29:25okay
00:29:26Sarah
00:29:26this is not the 1970s
00:29:29so what if he had a kid out of wedlock
00:29:31plenty of elected officials have done way worse
00:29:35Tom and Owen both deserve to know the truth
00:29:39you're right
00:29:40I'm sorry
00:29:48one criticism is that you're all style
00:29:50and no substance
00:29:51that you offer no real solutions to the issues
00:29:55well take small business for example
00:29:57I proposed we raise workers wages
00:30:00which places a financial burden on small businesses right
00:30:04how can anyone benefit if they can't afford to keep the business running
00:30:08yes
00:30:12you'll have to excuse me
00:30:14I'm having a little trouble articulating at the moment
00:30:17isn't it a public servant's job to articulate things to the public
00:30:23he's been totally unfocused since that waitress advisor left
00:30:27he's stressed
00:30:28he's been focusing so much on the campaign
00:30:31he could use a little feminine comfort
00:30:35I wish
00:30:36that would be my dream
00:30:38I've wanted Owen for years
00:30:41well now's the time
00:30:43make your move
00:30:46Owen
00:30:47hey
00:30:48that was great
00:30:49sure
00:30:50a few places we could
00:30:51tighten
00:30:51maybe we go get a drink
00:30:53talk
00:30:54strategy
00:30:56maybe later
00:30:57go after him
00:30:59and make sure that white trash parasite stays away
00:31:02what is your problem
00:31:04why is she good enough for Owen and I'm not
00:31:07she actually helps his future
00:31:11remind me again how your story ended
00:31:13wow no I remember exactly how it ended
00:31:16and I think it's time Owen finds out exactly who ended
00:31:25security we have an intruder
00:31:32knew I'd find you here
00:31:35you always came here to clear your head
00:31:36yeah last I was here was a decade ago
00:31:39after you cheated on me with Joe
00:31:43I actually wanted to talk to you about that
00:31:46want to explain
00:31:48no you don't have to
00:31:50you were right we shouldn't work together
00:31:52too much painful history
00:31:55I mean
00:31:56it wasn't all painful
00:31:59some of it was pretty great
00:32:06and there's something you don't know
00:32:07so tell me
00:32:09just say it
00:32:10Sarah he deserves to know
00:32:13and he could be a great father
00:32:17Owen
00:32:17the truth is
00:32:21Owen
00:32:22the truth is
00:32:24that
00:32:26that's her
00:32:27arrest her
00:32:28mom what are you doing
00:32:30she doesn't work for you anymore
00:32:32she's probably spying
00:32:34don't forget her connection with Joe
00:32:36I would never do that
00:32:38I would never
00:32:39I actually want to
00:32:41join your campaign
00:32:42I've decided
00:32:45all right
00:32:46welcome back
00:32:48Owen no
00:32:49mom
00:32:49I wanted to run for mayor of my hometown
00:32:51to reconnect with who I am

00:33:42he's really very trusting
00:33:45he didn't hesitate
00:33:46when I offered him a glass of water
00:33:49giving me plenty of DNA to work with
00:33:53you have no right to approach my son
00:33:55you had that child behind my back
00:33:58your back
00:33:59my body

00:34:04and now listen to what's going to happen here
00:34:06I will allow you to continue working for Owen
00:34:09as long as you never tell him
00:34:12that Tom is his son or anyone else
00:34:15or what this time
00:34:17Tom 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 when they all find out
00:34:27that he is the child of our next mayor
00:34:31sweetheart
00:34:32you underestimate me
00:34:34Tom is my grandchild
00:34:36I have no intention of pressuring anyone to expel him
00:34:41really?
00:34:42no I'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
00:34:55what's wrong
00:34:56did something happen to Tom?
00:34:57not to Tom
00:34:58by Tom
00:34:59he vandalized
00:35:01the school's computer lab
00:35:02wait
00:35:03sir what?
00:35:04that no
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
00:35:20and thus disqualified
00:35:22for the student council elections
00:35:25no no no no no Miss 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
00:35:34parents often have blind spots
00:35:37when it comes to their children
00:35:39the school board will meet
00:35:41and decide if Tom should be expelled
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
00:36:04frames 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
00:36:31or 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 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
00:37:00it's a lot of nuance
00:37:01it's hard to explain
00:37:01a few short soundbikes
00:37:03but
00:37:04yes
00:37:05thank you for your time
00:37:07I hope
00:37:08everyone listening
00:37:09goes out to vote
00:37:22hello
00:37:23you okay in there
00:37:24go 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
00:37:56Jaden Green
00:37:58but I don't think it's him
00:37:59yesterday
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
00:38:13and 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
00:38:45when 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 I heard about the computer lab
00:38:59I'm so sorry
00:39:00are you okay
00:39:00where are you
00:39:03oh
00:39:06Holden hi
00:39:07what are you doing here
00:39:08following up on your son's vandalism
00:39:10I don't know if you understand
00:39:13how much damage was done
00:39:14it looks even worse than
00:39:17your house
00:39:18oh
00:39:19oh
00:39:19um
00:39:20sorry I just
00:39:21I started a new job
00:39:22and I haven't really had time to go
00:39:24I admit I was surprised to learn
00:39:25Tom was behind it
00:39:27he's a model student
00:39:28but
00:39:29now he understands
00:39:32children often act out
00:39:34when they are neglected
00:39:35neglect
00:39:36I would never neglect
00:39:39Tom
00:39:40and he didn't act out
00:39:42he was Frank
00:39:42oh well
00:39:43if you know the perpetrator
00:39:44I'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
00:39:53he would never act out like this
00:39:55the evidence says otherwise
00:39:58and uh
00:39:59as the parent
00:40:00it is your responsibility
00:40:02to pay for the damages
00:40:06$20,000
00:40:08well I don't have that kind of money
00:40:12Miss Watson
00:40:13your son smashed 15 laptops
00:40:17and broke three windows
00:40:18the only reason
00:40:20he did not get expelled
00:40:21is because Eleanor Carter
00:40:23spoke on his behalf
00:40:25she's the one who did this
00:40:26in the first place
00:40:27and if I leave your house today
00:40:30without a check
00:40:31even she can't help him
00:40:34Tom?
00:40:37where were you?
00:40:39wait
00:40:39are you saying
00:40:41you had no idea
00:40:42where your son was
00:40:43this whole time?
00:40:44his bus
00:40:45should have dropped him off
00:40:46long ago

00:40:50how did you get home?
00:40:52I got a ride

00:59:00I've been keeping a secret from you
00:59:03and when I tell you
00:59:06I don't know if he'll ever be able to forgive me
00:59:11there's nothing you could say that would change the way I feel about you

01:00:02you've been bad luck to my son his whole life
01:00:04none of this is Sarah's fault
01:00:06she does nothing but cause damage
01:00:08who knows what other secrets she might have that could ruin your life
01:00:12Sarah didn't cause any of this
