00:29:59we raise
00:30:00workers wages
00:30:00which places
00:30:02a financial burden
00:30:03on small businesses
00:30:04right
00:30:04how can anyone
00:30:06benefit if they
00:30:06can't afford
00:30:07to keep the
00:30:07business running

00:39:10vandalism
00:39:11I don't know
00:39:12if you understand
00:39:13how much damage
00:39:14was done
00:39:15it looks
00:39:16even worse
00:39:17than
00:39:17your house
00:39:19here
00:39:19oh
00:39:21sorry I just
00:39:22I started a new
00:39:23job
00:39:23and I haven't
00:39:24really had time
00:39:24to go
00:39:24I admit I was
00:39:25surprised to learn
00:39:26Tom was behind
00:39:27it
00:39:27he's a model
00:39:28student
00:39:29but now I
00:39:31understand
00:39:32children often
00:39:33act out
00:39:34when they are
00:39:35neglected
00:39:36neglected
00:39:38I would never
00:39:39neglect
00:39:40Tom
00:39:41and he didn't
00:39:42act out
00:39:42he was
00:39:42framed
00:39:43oh well
00:39:43if you know
00:39:44the perpetrator
00:39:45I'd love to know
00:39:46she'll never
00:39:47believe Eleanor
00:39:48did it
00:39:48not without
00:39:49any proof
00:39:49and then Tom
00:39:50would get thrown
00:39:50out
00:39:51I know Tom
00:39:52like the back
00:39:53of my hand
00:39:54he would never
00:39:55act out like this
00:39:56the evidence
00:39:57says otherwise
00:39:59and as the parent
00:40:01it is your
00:40:02responsibility
00:40:03to pay for
00:40:04the damages
00:40:07$20,000
00:40:08well I don't
00:40:11have that kind
00:40:12of money
00:40:12Ms. Watson

00:40:15smashed
00:40:1615 laptops
00:40:17and broke
00:40:18three windows
00:40:19the only reason
00:40:20he did not
00:40:21get expelled
00:40:22is because
00:40:23Eleanor Carter
00:40:24spoke on his
00:40:25behalf
00:40:25she's the one
00:40:26who did this
00:40:27in the first place
00:40:28and if I leave
00:40:30your house today
00:40:30without a check
00:40:31even she

00:59:24Oh my God, that's your mom.
00:59:25Um, I'll hide.
00:59:26No.
00:59:27We're together now.
00:59:28We have nothing to hide.
00:59:33I should have known.
00:59:34Mom, I'm a grown man.
00:59:35Yes, and I don't have time to deal with this.
00:59:39And I am guessing this means you haven't had time to see the news yet.
00:59:49You assaulted the Senator on the night before Election Day?
00:59:54The man is a state hero.
00:59:57Do you want to lose?
00:59:58He tried to assault Sarah.
01:00:00Oh, why am I not surprised?
01:00:02You've been bad luck to my son his whole life.
01:00:05None of this is Sarah's fault.
01:00:07She does nothing but cause damage.
01:00:09Who knows what other secrets she might have that could ruin your life?
01:00:12Sarah didn't cause any of this.
01:00:15Owen, your mom's right.
01:00:21What are you talking about?
01:00:22You've only ever made my life better.
01:00:24Even when she cheated on you with Joe Callahan.
01:00:27Mom, that was years ago.
01:00:30I don't want to cause you any more trouble.
01:00:33You need to distance yourself from me.
01:00:35That's all.
01:00:37I'm resigning as your advisor.
01:00:40Sarah.
01:00:41Excellent.
01:00:42So we'll issue a denial, claim it's a fake video put out by your rivals.
01:00:47Liars are people who are afraid of the truth.
01:00:50That's not me.
01:00:51Owen, think of your political life.
01:00:54I don't want that life if I can't have my integrity.
01:00:56Where are you going?
01:00:59Do something I should have done a long time ago.
01:01:01Talk to Joe Callahan.
01:01:05You tell me, huh?
01:01:09Where the hell have you been?
01:01:11It's election day.
01:01:11I need to shut down a food bank and get to the polls.
01:01:18What the fuck, Carter?
01:01:19You here to beat me up like you did to Senator Whitmore?
01:01:21He deserved it.
01:01:22Whatever the reason, that's the best thing that could have happened to me.
01:01:25You just handed me this election on a silver platter.
01:01:28He sexually assaulted Sarah Watson.
01:01:31You remember Sarah.
01:01:32You two hooked up in high school when she was still with me.
01:01:35So you're just here for revenge?
01:01:37By another casualty of your mental breakdown?
01:01:39Look, I want you to issue a joint statement with me against the senator.
01:01:43Now write.
01:01:44No, I'm writing this into the mayor's office.
01:01:47I mean, there are so many corporations in my pocket.
01:01:50And I'm cashing in.
01:01:52Do the right thing for once, Joe.
01:01:55Sarah's the mother of your child.
01:01:57What the fuck are you talking about, Carter?
01:01:59I never slept with Sarah.
01:02:02So Joe isn't Tom's father?
01:02:05You never slept with Sarah?
01:02:06No, Sarah came on to me that one time.
01:02:09Kissed me.
01:02:10You saw us.
01:02:12Then she disappeared.
01:02:13That's it.
01:02:18Where the fuck's my driver?
01:02:22Hey, Tom.
01:02:23Daisy, where are y'all?
01:02:26Okay, hi.
01:02:27I'm not in the mood for jokes.
01:02:28Where are you guys?
01:02:29Tom?
01:02:29Daisy?
01:02:30You can't find your son.
01:02:33Miss Holden?
01:02:34Uh...
01:02:35Sorry, what are you doing here again?
01:02:37I received an anonymous tip that Tom was left alone last night.
01:02:41As his principal, I came over right away to check.
01:02:45And to see if I need to call CPS.
01:02:48Okay.
01:02:49There's been a huge misunderstanding.
01:02:51My friend stayed with Tom last night, so they're just probably out getting breakfast or something right now.
01:02:55Sarah!
01:02:56I'm so sorry.
01:02:57I got locked in the bathroom at the gala and then my phone died.
01:03:00I just...
01:03:00Look, sir.
01:03:01Are you saying that you didn't make it here last night?
01:03:04No.
01:03:06Where is Tom?
01:03:09Tom?
01:03:10Tom, please.
01:03:11Please, where are you?
01:03:12Your babysitter never arrived to take care of your son and now he's missing?
01:03:17This is very serious.
01:03:18Miss Holden, if you care about Tom at all, I need you to help me look for him.
01:03:23I will help Tom by calling the police and having you arrested.
01:03:28What?
01:03:29Tom needs to be placed in a safe home.
01:03:31And between your bikini photos at the campaign headquarters and the video of you egging Owen Carter on to hit
01:03:40our senator,
01:03:41you belong in prison.
01:03:44I don't have time for this bullshit right now.
01:03:46I need to find my son.
01:03:54Oh my god.
01:03:55I was just at HQ and I overheard someone saying that they saw your son.
01:04:00He's down by the river with some older man.
01:04:05Mom?
01:04:06I'm fine.
01:04:10Hi.
01:04:11Oh my god.
01:04:12I was so worried.
01:04:14I...
01:04:16Where were you?
01:04:17When I woke up, you weren't here and neither was Daisy.
01:04:20So I went to the cafe to look for you and Owen found me.
01:04:25I've heard enough.
01:04:27Mr. Carter can't save you this time.
01:04:30Your child could have been killed while you were off doing god knows what.
01:04:34It wasn't her fault.
01:04:36Somebody locked me in the bathroom.
01:04:42You.
01:04:44You did this.
01:04:45You locked Daisy in that bathroom.
01:04:48Probably on Eleanor's orders.
01:04:50I'm willing to bet that you're also the one that made that call to Miss Holden.
01:04:55You know what?
01:04:56You mess with me.
01:04:58Fine.
01:04:59I can handle it.
01:05:01But you crossed a line trying to get my son taken away from me.
01:05:07I will kill you!
01:05:08I'm gonna kill her!
01:05:09Hey!
01:05:09Hey!
01:05:10She's not worth it.
01:05:13Brittany, you can see yourself out now.
01:05:15Owen, I...
01:05:16I can explain.
01:05:17You hurt me.
01:05:17Owen, please.
01:05:18You're fired.
01:05:20After everything I've done.
01:05:28I'll add assault to the list of things I need to report to the police and CPS.
01:05:33Poor Tom has no stable adult presence in his life.
01:05:38But I do.
01:05:40Owen Carter is my father.
01:05:44Owen Carter is your father.
01:05:46Of course.
01:05:47Isn't that right, Dad?
01:05:50Yes.
01:05:52He's my son.
01:05:57Can't you see we look alike?
01:05:58I've known you a long time, Mr. Carter.
01:06:01You've never mentioned any children.
01:06:04Well, we didn't want it to get out.
01:06:06We were young and unmarried and thought it might scare off the voters.
01:06:10But Tom is my son.
01:06:11If Tom has a stable parental figure in his life, then I don't have to call the authorities.
01:06:21I'm sorry.
01:06:22I really was only trying to help Tom.
01:06:31Now, does anyone have a charger?
01:06:34I need to upload my videos.
01:06:36Um, the public is waiting.
01:06:37Sure, Aunt Daisy.
01:06:46Thank you for saving us again.
01:06:51Well, it was all thanks to this little guy concocting that story that I'm his father.
01:06:56The resourcefulness of a true politician.
01:06:59How'd you come up with that brilliant story?
01:07:01I told you.
01:07:02It's in my blood.
01:07:06Should I tell Owen now that he's Tom's father?
01:07:15Owen.
01:07:18Meet your son.
01:07:21Tom.
01:07:22Tom.
01:07:24Owen Carter is your dad.
01:07:27For real.
01:07:30Tom.
01:07:31Tom's my son.
01:07:33You're my dad?
01:07:34No way.
01:07:36Way.
01:07:36Long way, but...
01:07:41Dad!
01:07:42I can't believe it.
01:07:46You know, it's strange, but I think I can believe it.
01:07:50You can't?
01:07:55Yeah, I, uh...
01:07:57Talked to Joe.
01:07:58He said you two never...
01:07:59Yeah.
01:08:00You know.
01:08:03Um...
01:08:03Owen, listen, I'm really sorry.
01:08:06But I lied to you.
01:08:07I just...
01:08:09I thought this would ruin your career, and your mom had promised me that it would.
01:08:15She forced me to break up with you.
01:08:19And she gave me money for an abortion.
01:08:22She what?
01:08:23No, but it's not an excuse.
01:08:24I know that it's not an excuse.
01:08:25I am so sorry you had a right to all of those years with your son.
01:08:30Hey, people.
01:08:31Let bygones be bygones.
01:08:33Heh.
01:08:35Heh.
01:08:35So, are you and mom boyfriend and girlfriend?
01:08:40Well, I don't know.
01:08:43Are we?
01:08:48Why can't you just say yes?
01:08:51I lied to you.
01:08:53I don't know how to come back from that.
01:08:55I can fix this.
01:08:57Like a politician.
01:08:59Dad, do you love mom?
01:09:03I do.
01:09:06I don't want to be with her.
01:09:08The future mayor has stated his position.
01:09:10Your rebuttal?
01:09:12My rebuttal.
01:09:22Is that?
01:09:23The ring you were gonna propose to me with in high school?
01:09:26You kept it.
01:09:27I had hoped for so long that this moment would come.
01:09:33And it has.
01:09:37Sarah Watson, will you marry me?
01:09:43Yes.
01:09:45Owen, it's always been you.
01:09:50We're gonna be a family?
01:09:53I'm the mayor's son.
01:09:56Oh my God, the election.
01:09:59Joe's video.
01:09:59We never made a rebuttal.
01:10:00What do we do?
01:10:02The only thing we can do.
01:10:04Lose.
01:10:06No, no, no, no, no, no.
01:10:07You can still win this.
01:10:09Nah, the polls are open.
01:10:10Joe's gonna win.
01:10:11No, no.
01:10:11I will, I'll go, I will give an interview.
01:10:13I'll tell everybody what happened.
01:10:14You were just protecting me.
01:10:15It's just too little too late.
01:10:17It's your word against the senators.
01:10:19But you said the truth always wins.
01:10:21Hey.
01:10:24And the truth did win today.
01:10:26The only truth that matters.
01:10:28That you're my son.
01:10:30We're gonna go to HQ with our heads held high.
01:10:33We're gonna say thank you to the volunteers and staffers.
01:10:36And we're gonna move right on to the next election.
01:10:40Cause that's what we do.
01:10:42I'm sorry.
01:10:46You guys, my video is blowing up.
01:10:50I mean, I guess I did look good in that dress.
01:10:53Whoa.
01:10:54Did I miss something?
01:10:59Where the hell is Owen?
01:11:04How dare you walk in here with my son after you cost him the election.
01:11:08Mother.
01:11:09Meet your grandson.
01:11:11My son.
01:11:12The one you tried to have aborted.
01:11:16You forced Sarah to hide him from me for all these years.
01:11:21Convinced her to break my heart.
01:11:23And then you tried to have him expelled.
01:11:25How could you?
01:11:26I did it for you.
01:11:28So you could go to a prestigious college and go to DC and live your dreams.
01:11:33Without me, you'd be a plumber right now.
01:11:37If it would give me that 10 years with my son, I would gladly be a plumber.
01:11:42Well, you might get your wish.
01:11:44Since you punched Senator Whitmore, you're certain to lose the race.
01:11:49That's what you care about?
01:11:52Just go.
01:11:53I can't even look at you.
01:11:55Owen.
01:11:55You know, mother.
01:11:58I'm not going to lose this race.
01:12:00Because I'm going to withdraw from it.
01:12:02To focus on the important things.
01:12:15It doesn't make any sense.
01:12:17I've gotten a million views in just two hours.
01:12:20What?
01:12:20Yes.
01:12:21Let me see.
01:12:26Dear friends, I'm so grateful for all the hard work you've put into this campaign.
01:12:31But I regret to inform you that due to personal circumstances, I'm withdrawing my candidacy for mayor.
01:12:41No, no, no, no, no. He's not. He is not.
01:12:47Everyone, open the news. My video has gone viral.
01:12:53You need to watch Daisy's video right now.
01:12:56The dress is from H&C.
01:12:59Okay, look right there.
01:13:01The lip liner is from Foxy.
01:13:04Make sure y'all click the link in my bio.
01:13:06Carter protected a woman. He's the mayor we need.
01:13:10People are starting to believe you.
01:13:12You're still in this race.
01:13:14Owen is not on my head.
01:13:19Mom, Dad, guess what? I won. I'm student council president.
01:13:23What?
01:13:24That's amazing, buddy.
01:13:25Come here.
01:13:26Come here.
01:13:28You'll win too, Dad. I know it.
01:13:30Now.
01:13:34That'll be the results.
01:13:36I... I can't.
01:13:38Okay.
01:13:40Hello?
01:13:44Yeah.
01:13:46Yeah, I'll tell him.
01:13:52How bad is it?
01:13:54The landslide.
01:13:57Congratulations, Mayor Carter.
01:13:59What?
01:14:00Yeah.
01:14:01You won?
01:14:04My dad is mayor!
01:14:14It's all thanks to you.
01:14:18Congratulations, son.
01:14:20All I ever wanted was for you to be happy.
01:14:24I...
01:14:24I went about it the wrong way.
01:14:27But it never...
01:14:28I never meant to hurt you.
01:14:31I'm so...
01:14:32so sorry.
01:14:35You are my life.
01:14:41Please...
01:14:41forgive me.
01:14:45Hey.
01:14:50You don't owe my mother anything.
01:14:51You don't owe my mother anything.
01:14:52No.
01:14:54But...
01:14:56You'll find this out soon enough.
01:14:59When you become a parent,
01:15:01your entire world becomes about that child.
01:15:05And I know what it's like to not see straight,
01:15:08trying to protect them.
01:15:11And you're gonna make plenty of mistakes, too.
01:15:13Trust me.
01:15:15You should forgive her.
01:15:31Ooh.
01:15:33Now,
01:15:34who wants a victory photo?
01:15:36Okay.
01:15:38One, two, three.
01:15:43You're gonna make a great cover story.
01:15:47Ooh, I am so sorry.
01:15:49We're renovating right now.
01:15:50We?
01:15:51You mean I get a say in the design?
01:15:53You have much more important things to worry about, Mr. Mayor.
01:15:57Mm-hmm.
01:16:00Congratulations, The Merry Left.
01:16:02One small question that interests our readers.
01:16:06Is it hard for you to work together,
01:16:09live together, and raise a child together?
01:16:12Well, we have one rule at home.
01:16:14Whatever the argument, no matter who says what,
01:16:17the truth always wins in the end.
01:16:19And who decides what the truth is?
01:16:22Me.
01:16:27Once in a minute,
01:16:29what are yourث fit for?
01:16:30Mm-hmm.
01:16:32we nearly asked and reached out.
01:16:36You
