00:13:30where he doesn't realize that society

00:13:32isn't measured by the people who lead it

00:13:33but by the people it refuses to leave behind

00:13:40what was that thing you just said?

00:39:47believe Eleanor

00:39:48did it

00:39:52like the back

00:39:53of my hand

00:58:11I never forgot you, Sarah.

00:58:22Don't move.

00:58:23You look perfect in this light.

00:58:28Good morning.

00:58:35I missed you.

00:58:37I missed you too.

00:58:41But, Owen, this scares me.

00:58:43What, the campaign?

00:58:45My mom?

00:58:46Look, Sarah, we're gonna figure this out.

00:58:49No one can defeat us when we're together.

00:58:51I'm here to stay.

00:58:53I have to tell him.

00:58:55He's Tom's father, and I have to tell him right now.

00:59:00Owen, I've been keeping a secret from you.

00:59:04And when I tell you, I 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.

00:59:21Tom... is...

00:59:22Owen, are you in there?

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.

00:59:32I should have known.

00:59:34Mom, I'm a grown man.

00:59:35Yes.

00:59:36And 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.

00:59:50You 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...

01:00:17Your mom's right.

01:00:21W-What 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.

01:00:36So...

01:00:37I'm resigning as your advisor.

01:00:41Sarah!

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.

01:00:57Where 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 the food bank and get to the polls.

01:01:18What the fuck, Carter?

01:01:19You here to beat me up like you did 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.

01:01:30You remember Sarah.

01:01:32You two hooked up in high school when she was still with me?

01:01:34So were you 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.

01:01:43Alright.

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?

01:02:07No.

01:02:07Sarah came on to me that one time.

01:02:09Kissed me.

01:02:10You saw us.

01:02:11Then she disappeared.

01:02:13And that's it.

01:02:18Where the fuck's my driver?

01:02:22Hey, Tom!

01:02:23Daisy!

01:02:24Where 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.

01:02:32Ms. Holden?

01:02:34Uh...

01:02:34Sorry, 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...

01:03:01Are you saying you didn't make it here last night?

01:03:04No.

01:03:06Where is Tom?

01:03:09Tom?

01:03:10Tom?

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.

01:03:18Ms. 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.

01:03:27What?

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, you belong in prison.

01:03:43I don't have time for this bullshit right now.

01:03:47I 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.

01:04:10Oh my god, I was so worried.

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, hey, hey!

01:05:09Hey!

01:05:10She's not worth it.

01:05:13Brittany, you can see yourself out now.

01:05:15Owen, I, I can explain.

01:05:17I was just trying to...

01:05:17You hurt me.

01:05:17Owen, please, I...

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.

01:06:38Sure, Aunt Daisy.

01:06:46Thank you for saving us again.

01:06:52Well, 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, it'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?

01:07:32You're my dad?

01:07:35No way.

01:07:36Way.

01:07:36Long way, but...

01:07:39Wait.

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, talked to Joe.

01:07:58He said you two never...

01:07:59Yeah.

01:08:00You know.

01:08:03Um...

01:08:03Owen, listen.

01:08:04I'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.

01:08:21She what?

01:08:23I know.

01:08:23But 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.

01:08:32Let bygones be bygones.

01:08:33Heh.

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.

01:08:54I 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 the 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.

01:09:33It has.

01:09:37Sarah Watson, will you marry me?

01:09:44Yes.

01:09:45Owen, it's always been you.

01:09:50We're gonna be a family?

01:09:54I'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.

01:10:15Too 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.

01:10:42Sorry.

01:10:43Bye.

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, meet your grandson.

01:11:11My son, the 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? How 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.

01:11:34Without me, you'd be a plumber right now.

01:11:37If it would give me back 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. I can't even look at you.

01:11:55Owen?

01:11:56You know, Mother, I'm not gonna lose this race.

01:12:00Because I'm gonna withdraw from it.

01:12:02To focus on the important things.

01:12:15It doesn't make any sense. I'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.

01:12:32But I regret to inform you that due to personal circumstances, I'm withdrawing my candidacy for mayor.

01:12:41No, no, 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.

01:12:58Okay, 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 over yet.

01:13:19Mom! Dad, guess what?

01:13:21I won! I'm student council president!

01:13:23What?!

01:13:24That's amazing, buddy!

01:13:25Come 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.

01:14:00What?!

01:14:00Yeah. You won?!

01:14:04My dad is mayor!

01:14:14It's all thanks to you.

01:14:17Congratulations, son.

01:14:20All I ever wanted was for you to be happy.

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.

01:14:34You are my life.

01:14:39Please.

01:14:41Forgive me.

01:14:45Hey.

01:14:49You 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.

01:15:27Okay.

01:15:28Thank you...

01:15:31Ooh...

01:15:32Now.

01:15:34Who wants a victory photo?

01:15:36Never.

01:15:37Okay.

01:15:38One...

01:15:38Two...

01:15:39Three...

01:15:43You're going to make a great cover story.

01:15:47Oh, 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 mayor you left.

01:16:02One small question that interests our readers.

01:16:06Is it hard for you to work together, live 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, the truth always wins in the end.

01:16:19And who decides what the truth is?

01:16:22Me.
