00:00:02Soon each of us will go our separate ways, to different cities, different colleges.
00:00:08But the important thing isn't so much where we're going, but what we take with us.
00:00:14Let's show the world that studying at Montclair isn't just a privilege, it's a responsibility.
00:00:21My boyfriend is the hottest and smartest guy in school, and I cannot believe he chose me.
00:00:26And just as bees spread pollen from one flower to another, allowing an entire field to bloom,
00:00:33now's our turn to spread what we've learned at Montclair everywhere we go.
00:00:40I love you, fairy.
00:00:46I feel like I'm getting sick.
00:00:49No, no, no, no.
00:00:51But we use protection.
00:00:53Sarah, listen to me.
00:00:55I've let this little fling go on because I assumed you were just some high school amusement.
00:01:01Oh, and can't have some trashy, low-class girl on his arm if he wants to succeed.
00:01:06What have you got there?
00:01:08Give it to me.
00:01:11Give it to me!
00:01:19You're pregnant.
00:01:21This is between me and Owen.
00:01:24You stupid girl!
00:01:26Owen has a future in D.C. and Congress.
00:01:29People say he could become President of the United States.
00:01:34If people find out he had a child out of wedlock in high school, his career is over before it
00:01:40begins.
00:01:41Is that what you want for Owen?
00:01:44For him to be stuck here with you?
00:01:46To give up his dreams?
00:01:48If you really love Owen, you will end this pregnancy and never speak to him again.
00:01:58Understand?
00:02:05Owen, I am so proud of you.
00:02:08After that performance, all the Ivy Leagues will be calling and then Congress.
00:02:12The sky's the limit for you.
00:02:15For us, you mean.
00:02:16Sarah's the reason I won today.
00:02:19You think you've talked to some of your connections about getting her a scholarship too?
00:02:23Mom, you know it's not her fault she can't afford the Ivy Leagues.
00:02:26She's the most brilliant student in the school.
00:02:28I want her with me.
00:02:31You will end this pregnancy and never speak to him again.
00:02:36You know I'd do anything for you.
00:02:40Thanks, Mom.
00:02:45I have to do this for Owen's future.
00:02:48Sarah!
00:02:50Sarah, I've got great new...
00:02:52Sarah!
00:02:54What are you doing?
00:02:56Exactly what I told her to.
00:02:58Owen.
00:03:00I'm so sorry.
00:03:03I...
00:03:03Big man.
00:03:04She came on to me, so...
00:03:06You son of a bitch!
00:03:08Look at the Ivy Leagues in Congress.
00:03:09Don't ruin your future over some high school girlfriend.
00:03:13You better get out of here right now.
00:03:15I don't care, I'll break your face.
00:03:21I thought you loved me.
00:03:23We had a future.
00:03:27I don't love you.
00:03:30We don't have a future.
00:03:32We never did.
00:03:35You need to move on with your life.
00:03:41I was gonna propose to you.
00:03:44God, I'm such an idiot.
00:03:49Good job.
00:04:04The campaign officially starts tomorrow.
00:04:06Be ready.
00:04:10What the fuck?
00:04:12My coffee isn't even hot.
00:04:14If I wanted a temperature slop, I would have ordered it.
00:04:17I'm so sorry about that, ma'am.
00:04:18It was hot when I first brought it out, but you were on the phone.
00:04:20How dare you contradict me?
00:04:22The customer is always right.
00:04:24Tony!
00:04:28Straighten out your employees, please.
00:04:31Otherwise, we won't be filming your tomorrow.
00:04:33Filming?
00:04:34Filming what?
00:04:35Filming what?
00:04:35I'm sorry about that, Brittany.
00:04:37I'll straighten her out.
00:04:39You.
00:04:39You're lucky your ass is so nice.
00:04:41Otherwise, I'd fire it a long time ago.
00:04:43Now go clean the toilets.
00:04:44And that coffee is coming out of your tips.
00:04:53Why don't you quit?
00:04:54Unlike me, you're smart.
00:04:56You went to Montclair.
00:04:58You know why I can't.
00:05:00Tom, come grab your lunch.
00:05:03There you go.
00:05:05Okay, do you want to run your speech before you head out?
00:05:08Nah, I'm good, Mom.
00:05:09Of course, you're good.
00:05:10You're the best.
00:05:11Local women, get ready.
00:05:13Mom, turn up the TV.
00:05:14Owen Carter, who left 10 years ago for Washington, D.C.,
00:05:18has returned to his hometown to run for mayor.
00:05:20From young, handsome billionaire to mayor of one of the East Coast's biggest cities.
00:05:26Can Carter pull it off?
00:05:27I can think of some things I'd love Owen Carter to pull off of me.
00:05:30Owen Carter?
00:05:31Wow, no way.
00:05:33Hey.
00:05:35Mom?
00:05:36Mom, what's wrong?
00:05:38Are you okay?
00:05:40Do you know Owen Carter?
00:05:42No.
00:05:43No.
00:05:43He was at Montclair with your mom.
00:05:46I want to be just like him one day.
00:05:48No wonder you have the same jeans.
00:05:51Wait.
00:05:53Jeans as in pants is what she meant.
00:05:55As in, he wears the same jeans and pants as you do.
00:06:00So you are going to be late for your Young Leaders Conference.
00:06:03Remember, if you're late, you already lost the debate.
00:06:06Uh-huh.
00:06:07Goodbye, Mom.
00:06:08I love you.
00:06:09Bye.
00:06:12I'm sorry.
00:06:13It slipped out.
00:06:15But you know you're going to have to tell him.
00:06:17Right?
00:06:18You don't know Owen's mom.
00:06:20He will end his pregnancy.
00:06:22And never speak to him again.
00:06:26As long as I can avoid him while he's on the campaign trail, it'll be fine.
00:06:29Yeah.
00:06:30About that.
00:06:31I just gotta push.
00:06:32He's supposed to be filming some PR thing for his campaign tomorrow.
00:06:36At the cafe.
00:06:39What?
00:06:42What?
00:06:43So, he comes in.
00:06:44You shake hands.
00:06:45Talk about small business.
00:06:46The value of hard work.
00:06:47Blah, blah, blah.
00:06:48That's Owen's PR director.
00:06:50He cannot find out I had his son.
00:06:52I have to avoid him.
00:06:54Showtime.
00:06:55Don't fuck this up, you guys.
00:06:56Yeah.
00:06:57Why is Owen Carter good for this role?
00:06:59Oh, my God.
00:07:00Everyone needs Owen Carter in their life.
00:07:03He's, like, literally perfect.
00:07:05He took the wristband out of my mouth.
00:07:07Oh, my God!
00:07:09He's over here!
00:07:10No!
00:07:18Oh, my God.
00:07:18He's gonna be our leader.
00:07:21You can start by leading me.
00:07:25Get in line, bitches.
00:07:27I'm going to be Mrs. Mayor.
00:07:29We can already see Owen Carter's passionate fan base
00:07:32as he makes his first stop at the Simple Cafe
00:07:34where he wrote his first speeches.
00:07:40So, we go in, you chat with the business owner,
00:07:43you stick to the questions that I prepared for you
00:07:45because I did my opposition research.
00:07:46Brittany, my whole campaign is about helping small businesses.
00:07:48I think I know what questions to ask.
00:07:51All right.
00:08:10What's wrong?
00:08:11You look like you've seen a ghost.
00:08:13Not a ghost.
00:08:15A fairy.
00:08:27Are you sure you want to do this?
00:08:29Yeah.
00:08:30I want you to be mine first.
00:08:40All right, let's get you out of the sun.
00:08:42We've got to go inside.
00:08:52So much for not seeing Owen.
00:08:57Hello, future mayor.
00:08:59What can I get for you?
00:09:00Viennese coffee?
00:09:01A macchiato on soy?
00:09:02How about a cortado with Ethiopian beans?
00:09:05Ah, wow.
00:09:07Guess my secret's out.
00:09:09Just, uh, black drip coffee, please.
00:09:12Oh, he's such a man.
00:09:15Don't let him notice me.
00:09:16Don't let him notice me.
00:09:17Sarah!
00:09:18How's the blend for Mr. Carter?
00:09:26Let's cut for a minute.
00:09:28What are you doing?
00:09:36Oh, my God.
00:09:37I'm so sorry.
00:09:38I'm so sorry.
00:09:39Are you okay?
00:09:42I'll live.
00:09:44How are you, Barry?
00:09:48That's gonna burn.
00:09:50Um, luckily, I work all day with boiling hot liquids, so I always carry something all on me.
00:09:57Um.
00:10:10Look at you saving me again.
00:10:13Just like old-time Sanferi.
00:10:16What the fuck, Sarah?
00:10:18You spilled coffee on the future mayor?
00:10:20Hey.
00:10:21It's an accident.
00:10:22It's fine.
00:10:22You wanna know about small business?
00:10:24I'm gonna tell you the truth.
00:10:25I can't afford quality girls, so I have to set up a trash like her.
00:10:28Hey.
00:10:29That is not okay.
00:10:30It most definitely isn't.
00:10:32I'm glad you agree.
00:10:33I'm gonna do what I should have done a long time ago.
00:10:36Sarah, you're fired.
00:10:38What?
00:10:38That is not what I meant.
00:10:40You know what?
00:10:42That's okay.
00:10:44I don't wanna work for a horny, misogynistic, shit-breathing asshole anyways.
00:10:48So actually, I quit.
00:10:51Oh, you fucking bitch.
00:10:54Don't you dare lay a hammer.
00:10:56Okay.
00:10:57I wanna do a photo op in this dump anyway.
00:11:00Let's get out of here.
00:11:01Yeah.
00:11:02Couldn't agree more.
00:11:07You know what?
00:11:08I'll find another job.
00:11:09I'll even work at night if I need to to pay for Tom's education.
00:11:14Sarah, I'm not gonna let him fire you.
00:11:18I don't need you to fight my battles for me.
00:11:20I have been through enough since high school to learn how to survive on my own even when things get
00:11:24hard, so...
00:11:25What do you mean?
00:11:26What things?
00:11:29Things.
00:11:30Owen, I'm a grown woman.
00:11:31I've been through things.
00:11:32I know.
00:11:33You should at least let me give you a ride home.
00:11:37I live close enough to walk.
00:11:38It's fine.
00:11:39Uh, in that case, I might need a favor.
00:11:43I'm supposed to be on national TV in an hour, and I am covered in coffee.
00:11:49Any chance I might use your shower?
00:11:51Uh, thanks for helping me out.
00:12:01Yeah, I mean, I did spill coffee on you, so I would, yeah.
00:12:05Uh, shower is right there.
00:12:08Okay.
00:12:15Uh, you wouldn't happen to have a men's dress shirt lying around, would you?
00:12:20It belongs to a husband or boyfriend?
00:12:23Uh, no, no boyfriend, no husband, no shirt.
00:12:27Uh, the only thing I have that might fit you are the sweatshirts I sleep in.
00:12:31Um, this is my sweatshirt.
00:12:40You kept it.
00:12:42Oh.
00:12:43Yeah, I mean, not like for any reason.
00:12:45Just, yeah, saving money, I guess, but yeah.
00:12:47Ah, well, I'm sure my mom would kill me for doing an interview in this, but, uh, maybe it'll be
00:12:54relatable.
00:12:58So, his mother still controls his life.
00:13:03She can't find out that I have Tom.
00:13:06Or that I'm even interacting with Owen at all.
00:13:11So, what are you gonna do now?
00:13:13For work?
00:13:14Uh, you know, there's bound to be someone who wants to hire an unskilled dropout.
00:13:18Oh, stop it.
00:13:19You were one of the smartest kids in the school.
00:13:21Yeah, well, life happens.
00:13:25And, I'm actually glad Tony fired me.
00:13:27He's just, he's one of those people where he doesn't realize that society isn't measured by the people who lead
00:13:33it,
00:13:33but by the people it refuses to leave behind.
00:13:40What was that thing you just said?
00:13:44Uh, what?
00:13:46Society isn't measured by who leads it, but...
00:13:49By who it refuses to leave behind.
00:13:52So?
00:13:53I got a proposal for you.
00:13:57You should come work for me.
00:14:01I need a political advisor.
00:14:04Remember high school?
00:14:05You used to help me strategize for debate team?
00:14:07You, you helped me write up my talking points.
00:14:09You helped me beat Joe Callahan back then.
00:14:11We can beat him again now.
00:14:13You remember all that?
00:14:14I remember everything, Sarah.
00:14:19Sarah, what are you doing?
00:14:26Oh, sorry.
00:14:29Truth is, I'm starting to feel like an imposter.
00:14:34It's only a matter of time before everybody's gonna start seeing it.
00:14:37Oh, and you've always been the best.
00:14:38I was the best with you.
00:14:41That was high school.
00:14:42I didn't even go to college.
00:14:44That doesn't matter.
00:14:46I take your instincts over the degrees of all those empty suits around me any day.
00:14:51You know this town better than anyone.
00:14:54You've got guts.
00:14:56What I have is responsibilities.
00:14:58I can't just start taking risks now.
00:15:01Sarah, you don't have a job.
00:15:06Right.
00:15:08Just think about it, okay?
00:15:10I won't forget what you were for me, Fari.
00:15:14We can do great things together.
00:15:27Are you crazy?
00:15:29Being Owen's advisor is the perfect job for you.
00:15:32Then bringing me on as the campaign influencer?
00:15:34It's a win-win-win.
00:15:35No, no, it is a bad idea for so many reasons.
00:15:40Name one.
00:15:41One, his evil mom.
00:15:43She's vicious, she's connected, and she thinks I aborted her grandson.
00:15:51Is that Owen?
00:15:53I like the new look.
00:15:55One of my guiding principles is that a society is not measured by who leads it,
00:15:59but by who it refuses to leave behind.
00:16:01Don't tell me.
00:16:02Huh?
00:16:02You wrote that.
00:16:04Joe Callahan, your response.
00:16:06Like my opponent's sweatshirt, Owen Carter's not a serious candidate.
00:16:10No, he's a pretty boy poser.
00:16:12Left his hometown to become an out-of-touch Washington insider.
00:16:16I still can't believe he's running against that ass Joe Callahan.
00:16:19I mean, he's kind of right, though.
00:16:22Owen needs a miracle.
00:16:23I know how to make him a miracle.
00:16:25Okay.
00:16:27But his mom, I can't.
00:16:29What will she do?
00:16:30Fire you from a job you don't have?
00:16:32You wrote all his speeches with him back in the days.
00:16:35You're smart.
00:16:36Go help him.
00:16:37We don't want Joe as mayor, right?
00:16:44Owen, as your PR consultant, I beg you, do not respond to Joe Callahan.
00:16:49Keep just jealous that everyone was reporting on how devastatingly handsome you are.
00:16:54Which you are.
00:17:01What the fuck is she doing here?
00:17:06Hey.
00:17:07Hey.
00:17:08Our high school library is your campaign headquarters?
00:17:12Ironic, isn't it?
00:17:13It's where I lost you to Joe Callahan.
00:17:16I'm about to lose to him again.
00:17:17I might have an idea that could help.
00:17:20No, that's stupid, though.
00:17:21You know what you're doing.
00:17:22No, no, wait.
00:17:23Tell me.
00:17:24What idea?
00:17:25Okay.
00:17:27You need to prove to the voters that you're the real deal.
00:17:31And I'll show them evidence that they can see with their own eyes.
00:17:34Tell me what to do.
00:17:35Call a press conference.
00:17:38My opponent, Joe Callahan, keeps saying I'm not authentic.
00:17:43And he's right.
00:17:45What the fuck?
00:17:47I did leave town.
00:17:48I went to Yale, Washington.
00:17:50I rubbed shoulders with the elites for years.
00:17:52But here's where Joe's wrong.
00:17:53I am proud of where I come from.
00:17:56That's why I want to be mayor of this town, so I can serve the hardworking people here.
00:18:01That's why I sold my house in D.C.
00:18:05And bought one right here.
00:18:07Visit anytime you like, Joe.
00:18:14You.
00:18:15What are you doing here?
00:18:18You have a lot of nerve showing up again.
00:18:21I thought we got rid of you like you got rid of your fetus.
00:18:24I warned you years ago to stay away.
00:18:29And I am very powerful in this town.
00:18:33Owen.
00:18:34Look who crashed your little event.
00:18:38The sweetheart who cheated on you with Joe Callahan.
00:18:42Mom, let's leave the past in the past.
00:18:44Sarah's my new political advisor.
00:18:49You got to be kidding.
00:18:50She's your new advisor?
00:18:52Yes.
00:18:53She's a brilliant political mind.
00:18:55No.
00:18:55No.
00:18:56Nope.
00:18:56I don't work for him.
00:18:57I helped him with one small thing.
00:19:00That's it.
00:19:01I hope you'll reconsider.
00:19:03I'm behind in the polls.
00:19:04I need you.
00:19:05No, you don't.
00:19:06You already have Brittany and me.
00:19:08And this one didn't even go to college.
00:19:11She saved us.
00:19:12It was her idea to buy the house.
00:19:14It was just some basic idea from an inexperienced mind trying to pander to the masses.
00:19:21Okay.
00:19:23I'm gonna go.
00:19:25So thank you and goodbye.
00:19:27Mom, what are you doing here?
00:19:30You have a child?
00:19:31You have a child.
00:19:36Sarah, is this your son?
00:19:37Tom, what are you doing here?
00:19:39You forgot to give me my campaign stickers for the council.
00:19:42Daisy said you'd be here.
00:19:44Do you work for Owen Carter?
00:19:46Um, I don't know.
00:19:50Maybe.
00:19:51Wow.
00:19:52Mr. Carter.
00:19:53My name is Tom Watson.
00:19:56I'm a big fan.
00:19:58I wish I was old enough so I could vote for you.
00:20:01I wish I was young enough to vote for you.
00:20:03Student council president, huh?
00:20:05You know, I once had the same job at the same school.
00:20:09Of course I know.
00:20:10I know, like, everything about you.
00:20:12Okay, bud.
00:20:13We gotta get back to work.
00:20:15Wait, can I get a picture first?
00:20:17Absolutely.
00:20:19Okay.
00:20:21All right.
00:20:24One, two.
00:20:26We look so natural together.
00:20:29Maybe I should just tell them.
00:20:32The resemblance is uncanny.
00:20:35Any advice for my campaign?
00:20:37Uh, well, I've always said do good when no one's looking,
00:20:41but, uh, your mom's the real campaign genius.
00:20:45Thanks.
00:20:45I know.
00:20:46My mom told me my dad's a politician, too.
00:20:53Okay, you should probably get back to class.
00:20:55Bye, Mr. Carter.
00:20:56Good luck.
00:20:59Great kid.
00:21:01Yes, Sarah.
00:21:03Exactly.
00:21:04How old is your charming little boy?
00:21:08He's, um, almost ten.
00:21:12Is it possible that Tom is my son?
00:21:15I understand now.
00:21:18That politician father must be Joe Callahan.
00:21:25I mean, they did date.
00:21:28And, or at least, whatever it was we saw them doing.
00:21:32Mom, it's none of our business.
00:21:35I'm gonna head out.
00:21:37Wait.
00:21:38I have a surprise for you.
00:21:41Okay.
00:21:47This room needs a little work.
00:21:52I cannot believe that this is the house you bought.
00:21:56Yeah, you remember it?
00:21:57The house you grew up in.
00:22:00Smart.
00:22:01Or mine butters of your childhood.
00:22:03Lots of good memories in this room.
00:22:10Admittedly, you could use a little furniture.
00:22:13I remember my desk used to be right over there.
00:22:15Oh, my God.
00:22:16Do you remember?
00:22:17You used to get that mattress and bring it down here.
00:22:19You used to put it right here.
00:22:21Oh, yeah.
00:22:22To be near my books.
00:22:23Yeah.
00:22:24No, exactly.
00:22:25Oh, God.
00:22:26That was finals week.
00:22:28Finals week.
00:22:31That was our first time.
00:22:37Are you sure you want to do this?
00:22:40Yeah.
00:22:41I want you to be my first.
00:22:48That's why it still feels like home here.
00:22:51All my best memories were here.
00:22:53Because they all involved you.
00:22:59Owen, you can't be serious.
00:23:01We have three mansions, a penthouse in D.C. and Manhattan, a lake house, and you want to live here.
00:23:08I like it.
00:23:10I'm staying.
00:23:11May I have a word with my son?
00:23:16You never did think clearly when I came to that girl.
00:23:19She has trouble.
00:23:20She's not.
00:23:21And I'm a grown man.
00:23:22Trust me.
00:23:23Every choice she makes will cost you.
00:23:29Owen, I can't believe it.
00:23:31But that whole buying a house thing?
00:23:32It worked.
00:23:33You just went up almost 20 points in the polls.
00:23:38See, Mom?
00:23:39You gotta trust me.
00:23:41Sarah and I can do great things together.
00:23:43Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while.
00:23:47Well, I'm doubling that squirrel's offer.
00:23:49That's my decision.
00:23:51It's not changing.
00:23:52All right.
00:23:53If that's your decision as your campaign manager, I will close the deal with her.
00:23:58Now, you just focus on winning, and Sarah and I will start fresh.
00:24:05Hey, Sarah.
00:24:08Your plan worked.
00:24:09We went up in the polls.
00:24:10I know.
00:24:11I saw.
00:24:12See, Eleanor.
00:24:12I told you.
00:24:13I'm not trying to hurt Owen.
00:24:15I'm trying to help him.
00:24:16I am sure we can work together.
00:24:19Now, Owen has a call scheduled with the governor.
00:24:22We should let him take that.
00:24:31You saw the polls.
00:24:32You saw the polls.
00:24:32Oh, just shut up.
00:24:34So, in the end, you kept seeing Joe, even though it started as a facade.
00:24:41I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
00:24:43I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
00:24:44I can't tell her who Tom's father really is.
00:24:47Imagine getting knocked up by both candidates.
00:24:51Listen up, you two-bit skank.
00:24:53Listen up, you two-bit skank.
00:24:54Here's how it's going to be.
00:24:56We both know that you are dangerous to Owen's career.
00:24:59If it gets out that he got you pregnant in high school and you got an abortion.
00:25:03I listened to you in high school.
00:25:06I'm not that little girl anymore.
00:25:08I'm not.
00:25:10I need this job and I would never hurt Owen.
00:25:15You have no idea who you're dealing with.
00:25:19You will tell Owen you are refusing the job or I will make your life hell.
00:25:25You already did make my life hell.
00:25:29You cost me the love of my life.
00:25:31I have nothing left to lose.
00:25:34Really?
00:25:35Your son goes to Montclair Academy, correct?
00:25:40Did you know I am still on their school board?
00:25:45You leave my son out of this.
00:25:48If you want your bastard to have a future, you will get out of our lives.
00:25:55So either Tom loses the opportunity of his life or I lose the man who is the love of mine.
00:26:03So, Sarah, make your choice.
00:26:11Second, let's adjust the tie.
00:26:12All right.
00:26:14You know what?
00:26:15Let's take a picture together.
00:26:18Don't we look like we're a couple?
00:26:21Sorry if I'm interrupting anything.
00:26:23You are interrupting everything.
00:26:25I just need to talk to Owen.
00:26:27Sure.
00:26:27Just can wait.
00:26:30That whore.
00:26:31I will get my man.
00:26:33What's up?
00:26:34Hey, um, I can't take this job.
00:26:37Why?
00:26:37It's too hard.
00:26:38This working together, it's just bringing up a lot of really painful memories for me.
00:26:43Well, look, Sarah, this is hard for me, too.
00:26:45I mean, you broke my heart, but I'm willing to put it behind me because I believe in what
00:26:49we're doing here.
00:26:49Well, I do, too.
00:26:51I just can't.
00:26:52If I can't convince you to stay, you gotta at least let me pay you for your first day.
00:27:04$5,000?
00:27:07For one day?
00:27:08Owen, I can't take.
00:27:09That's too much.
00:27:10And that one day, you changed the whole momentum of this election.
00:27:13You're really talented, Sarah.
00:27:15Truth is, I need you.
00:27:19I'm sorry.
00:27:21If you want your bastard to have a future, you will get out of our lives.
00:27:27I can't.
00:27:28Change your mind.
00:27:29I'm right here.
00:27:35Five grand.
00:27:37For one day, we make $150 at the cafe.
00:27:41I know.
00:27:42I have to give it back.
00:27:43Don't you dare.
00:27:44Okay, you don't have a job thanks to him.
00:27:46And you have bills to pay, you have a child to raise.
00:27:51Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:27:52What's up?
00:27:53What's wrong?
00:27:54Whoever does not know his past, his present is poor, and his future is shrouded in fog.
00:27:59Hey, what are you talking about?
00:28:01All the candidates for student council president had to fill out a family tree today to show
00:28:06the pride in where they come from.
00:28:08Freaking Jaden saw that I didn't know who my dad was, though I don't have a future.
00:28:15Hey.
00:28:16Hey.
00:28:17No, no, no, no, no.
00:28:17Freaking Jaden doesn't know what he's talking about.
00:28:20He has no idea.
00:28:21He's wrong.
00:28:22What's he?
00:28:23No, he isn't.
00:28:24I'm withdrawing from the ring.
00:28:25Hey, hey, don't do that, my love.
00:28:27Don't.
00:28:27Then tell me who my father is.
00:28:31I will.
00:28:32I will, hon.
00:28:33When you're older, though, I promise.
00:28:34Just not right now.
00:28:35Why not?
00:28:36It's complicated.
00:28:37But I promise, I promise you, you do have a future, even if you don't have a dad,
00:28:42okay?
00:28:42I hate you!
00:28:43I hate you.
00:28:43I hate you.
00:28:44Huh.
00:28:48Sarah?
00:28:49Don't.
00:28:50Don't start with that.
00:28:53You have to tell him.
00:28:55Eleanor threatened to expel him from school.
00:28:59She's going to ruin him before he even has a chance to start.
00:29:02To be honest, he's going to give it all up himself.
00:29:05Because you're keeping this secret.
00:29:08You're not 18 anymore.
00:29:10If Eleanor fights dirty, you 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.
00:29:24His career could be over.
00:29:26Okay, Sarah.
00:29:27This is not the 1970s.
00:29:29So what if he had a kid out of wedlock?
00:29:32Plenty of elected officials have done way worse.
00:29:36Tom and Owen both deserve to know the truth.
00:29:39You're right.
00:29:41I'm sorry.
00:29:42I'm sorry.
00:29:48One criticism is that you're all style and no substance.
00:29:52That you offer no real solutions to the issues.
00:29:55Well, take small business, for example.
00:29:57I proposed we raise workers' wages.
00:30:01Which places a financial burden on small businesses, right?
00:30:05How can anyone benefit if they can't afford to keep the business running?
00:30:08Yes.
00:30:13You'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.
00:30:29He's been focusing so much on the campaign.
00:30:32He could use a little feminine comfort.
00:30:35I wish.
00:30:37That would be my dream.
00:30:39I've wanted Owen for years.
00:30:41Well, now's the time.
00:30:44Make your move.
00:30:47Owen.
00:30:48Hey, that was great.
00:30:50Sure, a few places we could tighten.
00:30:52Maybe we go get a drink.
00:30:54Talk.
00:30:55Strategy?
00:30:56Maybe later.
00:30:58Go after him.
00:30:59And make sure that white trash parasite stays away.
00:31:02What is your problem?
00:31:05Why 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.
00:31:14Wow.
00:31:15No, I remember exactly how it ended.
00:31:17And I think it's time Owen finds out exactly who ended it.
00:31:25Security?
00:31:26We have an intruder.
00:31:32Knew I'd find you here.
00:31:35You always came here to clear your head.
00:31:37Yeah, last I was here was a decade ago.
00:31:40After you cheated on me with Joe.
00:31:44I 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.
00:31:51We shouldn't work together.
00:31:52Too much painful history.
00:31:56I mean, it wasn't all painful.
00:32:00Some of it was pretty great.
00:32:06And there's something you don't know.
00:32:08So tell me.
00:32:10Just say it.
00:32:11Sarah, he deserves to know.
00:32:13And he could be a great father.
00:32:17Owen, the truth is...
00:32:26That's her.
00:32:27Arrest her.
00:32:29Mom, what are you doing?
00:32:30She doesn't work for you anymore.
00:32:33She's probably spying.
00:32:35Don't forget her connection with Joe.
00:32:37I would never do that.
00:32:38I would never...
00:32:39I actually want to join your campaign.
00:32:43I've decided.
00:32:46Alright.
00:32:47Welcome back.
00:32:48Owen, no!
00:32:49Mom, I wanted to run for mayor of my hometown to reconnect with who I am.
00:32:53With what I believe in.
00:32:55Sarah's an integral part of that.
00:32:57I want her here.
00:32:59Nobody said anything like that to me in years.
00:33:01And in a minute, he'll know everything.
00:33:05Fine.
00:33:06If that's what you want.
00:33:08It's time for your interview.
00:33:10This is the most important network in the country.
00:33:13Let's nail it.
00:33:14Alright.
00:33:15So you finish telling me later?
00:33:16Yeah.
00:33:18You, come with me.
00:33:20Tell him what?
00:33:22That would be between me and Owen.
00:33:24Not your business.
00:33:24That alert?
00:33:25I just got...
00:33:28It was a DNA test.
00:33:31I know that Tom is Owen's son.
00:33:38It's right.
00:33:40Your son and I have a little chat yesterday.
00:33:43He's really very trusting.
00:33:45He didn't hesitate when I offered him a glass of water.
00:33:50Giving 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, my body, my choice.
00:34:02My body, my choice.
00:34:16Or what, this time, hmm?
00:34:19Tom is an A-plus student.
00:34:21Nobody's gonna expel him because of one of your wins.
00:34:24Not this time.
00:34:25Especially not when they all find out that he is the child of our next mayor.
00:34:30Ha ha, sweetheart.
00:34:33You underestimate me.
00:34:35Tom is my grandchild.
00:34:37I have no intention of pressuring anyone to expel him.
00:34:41Really?
00:34:42No, I'll let fate do that for me.
00:34:47I would, um, answer that if I were you.
00:34:53Uh, Ms. Holden, hi.
00:34:55Is everything okay?
00:34:56What's wrong?
00:34:56Did something happen to Tom?
00:34:57Not to Tom, by Tom.
00:35:00He vandalized the school's computer lab.
00:35:03Wait, sir, what?
00:35:05That, no, that doesn't sound like Tom.
00:35:07He would never.
00:35:07I know, but the damage was so severe we brought in the police.
00:35:11And we have Tom's DNA at the scene.
00:35:15DNA?
00:35:17I'm sorry to tell you.
00:35:19Tom is suspended from school and thus disqualified for the student council elections.
00:35:25No, no, no, no, no, no, Ms. Holden, please.
00:35:28Look, this is just, this is a terrible mistake.
00:35:31Tom loves this school.
00:35:33He loves it.
00:35:33He would never do anything like that.
00:35:35Parents often have blind spots when it comes to their children.
00:35:39The school board will meet and decide if Tom should be expelled.
00:35:44Ex-
00:35:44Goodbye.
00:35:50Another fatherless child turned to crime.
00:35:54First there'll be a police report, then child welfare will get involved.
00:36:00Why you might lose everything.
00:36:03What kind of person frames their own grandchild?
00:36:07A woman who loves her son.
00:36:12Now are you going to keep your mouth shut about Tom being Owens, or 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, but you have to get this little incident erased off of
00:36:36Tom's record.
00:36:36Oh, I can't do that, but I can have him reinstated in the student council election, on the condition that
00:36:46you get out of our lives the moment this campaign ends.
00:36:53Fine.
00:37:00Yes, it's a lot of nuance, it's hard to explain, a few short soundbikes, but yes, thank you for your
00:37:06time.
00:37:07I hope everyone 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, a long time ago.
00:37:41Why would someone lie about me destroying the computer lab? I didn't even do anything.
00:37:46Yeah, you know, in politics you learn a lot about lies.
00:37:49Liars are weak, and they're afraid of the truth.
00:37:53You just might have been the truth for someone.
00:37:55Who you running against?
00:37:57Jaden Green, but I don't think it's him.
00:38:00Yesterday, our class pet, Yerwill the gerbil, bit him.
00:38:04He was crying for two hours.
00:38:09How does Joe Callahan have such an amazing son, and he's not even around?
00:38:16Well, Jaden might not be the criminal mastermind, but you 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?
00:38:48I guess.
00:38:49I do the same thing.
00:38:52He couldn't be mine, could he?
00:38:57Tom, I heard about the computer lab.
00:38:59I'm so sorry.
00:39:00Are you okay?
00:39:01Where are you?
00:39:03Oh.
00:39:06Holden, hi.
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 how much damage was done.
00:39:15It looks even worse than your house.
00:39:19Oh, oh.
00:39:21Sorry, I just started a new job, and I haven't really had time to go.
00:39:24I admit I was surprised to learn Tom was behind it.
00:39:27He's a model student.
00:39:29But now I understand.
00:39:32Children often act out when they are neglected.
00:39:36Neglected?
00:39:38I would never neglect Tom, and he didn't act out.
00:39:42He was framed.
00:39:43Oh, well, if you know the perpetrator, I'd love to know.
00:39:46She'll never believe Eleanor did it.
00:39:48Not without any proof, and 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.
00:39:56The evidence says otherwise.
00:39:58And, uh, as the parent, it is your responsibility to pay for the damages.
00:40:07$20,000?
00:40:10Well, I don't have that kind of money.
00:40:12Miss Watson, your son smashed 15 laptops and broke three windows.
00:40:18The only reason he did not get expelled is because Eleanor Carter spoke on his behalf.
00:40:26He's the one who did this in the first place.
00:40:28And if I leave your house today without a check, even she can't help him.
00:40:35Tom?
00:40:37Where were you?
00:40:39Wait.
00:40:40Are you saying you had no idea where your son was this whole time?
00:40:45His bus should have dropped him off long ago.
00:40:48I missed it.
00:40:49What?
00:40:51How did you get home?
00:40:52I got a ride.
00:40:53With who?
00:40:54This is far worse than I imagined.
00:40:56Your son is hitchhiking?
00:40:58I'm afraid I'm going to have to report you to Child Protective Services.
00:41:03Still strict as ever, aren't we, Miss Holden?
00:41:08Owen?
00:41:09What are you doing here?
00:41:11Get to Amorette.
00:41:12And I'm far from a stranger, Miss Holden.
00:41:14Can I go?
00:41:15I have homework.
00:41:17Yes.
00:41:18Owen Carter, my favorite student.
00:41:20Get over here.
00:41:26I can hold off on calling CPS for now, but I still need for you to pay for the damages
00:41:32to the computer lad, Miss Watson.
00:41:34Ma'am, Tom told me he didn't do it.
00:41:36And I believe him.
00:41:38Trust me, after working in Washington, I know a liar when I see one.
00:41:42Be that as it may, in the absence of another culprit, we need Miss Watson to reimburse us.
00:41:49Yeah, it's fine.
00:41:50I just, I need a day to go to the bank and get a loan.
00:41:53I got it.
00:41:54How much?
00:41:55No, I'm not taking your money.
00:41:57$20,000.
00:42:00There you are.
00:42:03I've got my eye on you.
00:42:09That was completely inappropriate.
00:42:12I told you that I'm fine on my own, and I have been fine on my own raising Tom all
00:42:17of these years.
00:42:18Why?
00:42:18Because Joe wasn't in the picture?
00:42:21Come on, Sarah.
00:42:22I don't buy that.
00:42:24Whose child is Tom really?
00:42:29Is Tom really Joe's?
00:42:31I want to tell him so bad that his mom would have ruined Tom's life.
00:42:41Tom is...
00:42:45Joe's.
00:42:47And he's not in the picture because I never told him.
00:42:50Why not?
00:42:51Don't you think Tom should know his father?
00:42:52I agree he should, but Joe's father forced me to keep it a secret in order to help his career.
00:43:04My ass.
00:43:05Who does that to their own grandson just for a career?
00:43:08Damn, parents will do anything for their kids.
00:43:10Put home, please.
00:43:11You cannot tell anybody.
00:43:12It'll be a scandal.
00:43:13You know I won't.
00:43:15I never take the low road.
00:43:17He raised an amazing boy.
00:43:20I'm glad I got to meet him.
00:43:22My gosh.
00:43:22Go check on him.
00:43:23He's had a hard day.
00:43:25Oh, he's fine.
00:43:26I already talked to him.
00:43:29Hey.
00:43:34You have no idea how much that means to me.
00:43:37It's just been me and Tom for so long.
00:43:45No one has ever cared for us like that.
00:43:48It's been a long time for me too, Fairy.
00:44:01Good night.
00:44:03Good night.
00:44:17Hey.
00:44:19What magic are you working today, Fairy?
00:44:21We are going to explain your stance on small businesses.
00:44:24Ah, yes.
00:44:25The stance I haven't been able to articulate.
00:44:27I know, but you will.
00:44:28For right now, though, we're going to film a video here.
00:44:30My friend Daisy works here.
00:44:31All you have to do is go in and ask her about her salary.
00:44:34That's it.
00:44:35She'll answer.
00:44:35It'll be gold.
00:44:37Okay.
00:44:38Trust you.
00:44:42Something's missing.
00:44:45Um, I always carry a spare for Tom just in case.
00:44:48It might be a little swell on you, but we are going to make it work.
00:45:07Where do you want me?
00:45:08Um, inside.
00:45:10We should all probably go inside and you can finish that.
00:45:16Daisy, if your boss raised your wages, you think you'd work faster?
00:45:21Honestly, no.
00:45:23You stupid girl.
00:45:24This is a disaster.
00:45:26You are ruining him.
00:45:28If you were paid more, it wouldn't motivate you to work faster.
00:45:32I mean, I already work as fast as I can.
00:45:35So if you were paid more, it wouldn't increase profits here.
00:45:38I didn't say that.
00:45:39I would definitely make money for this place.
00:45:41Okay, so tell me about that.
00:45:43If you worked the same amount.
00:45:45If I got paid what I was worth, then I would feel like my employers valued me.
00:45:50And I would smile more.
00:45:52Here's that classic house blend just the way you like it.
00:45:58Now, wouldn't you return to a place with service like that?
00:46:01I come back for that smile every day.
00:46:05Con it.
00:46:06Perfect, you two.
00:46:07I don't even know what to say anymore.
00:46:09You saved me again.
00:46:09Oh, good job.
00:46:11I'm so proud of you.
00:46:13I mean, good job.
00:46:14He's never going to end up with me as long as that stupid whore is still around.
00:46:19Leave it to me.
00:46:20I have friends in high places, like the police.
00:46:25And if you do exactly as I said, we can separate them for good.
00:46:37Hey, really great work today.
00:46:39I'll see you at the gala tonight.
00:46:51Hi.
00:46:52Is there a problem, officer?
00:46:54We received a report of reckless driving for this vehicle.
00:46:58Uh, this vehicle's been parked for hours.
00:47:00I smell alcohol.
00:47:01Have you been drinking, ma'am?
00:47:03No, no, absolutely not.
00:47:05What's in that bag?
00:47:06Um, I don't know.
00:47:08It's probably my son's.
00:47:15Ma'am, step out of the car.
00:47:17You're under arrest for drunk driving.
00:47:21This is huge.
00:47:23Hands down on your back.
00:47:24No, the whiskey's not mine.
00:47:26I promise.
00:47:27And I'm LeBron James.
00:47:28Everyone lies to get out of crimes.
00:47:30I didn't commit a crime.
00:47:32Driving with an open container isn't even a misdemeanor.
00:47:34Suspect is clearly drunk, acting hysterical, resisting arrest.
00:47:39No, please, please just listen to me.
00:47:41I have a kid at home and I have to get back to him.
00:47:46Eleanor!
00:47:46Eleanor, you've been with me all day.
00:47:47Please, will you tell him that I have not been drinking?
00:47:50I'm sorry.
00:47:51Do we know each other?
00:47:52Seriously?
00:47:54Look, please, please just call Owen.
00:47:56Come with me, ma'am.
00:47:57What do you think you're doing?
00:48:01Mr. Carter.
00:48:02Wow.
00:48:03Is that you?
00:48:04Yes.
00:48:05This woman's my employee.
00:48:07Be that as it may, sir.
00:48:08She had an open bottle of whiskey in the car.
00:48:11And I told you that it's not mine.
00:48:12It's not mine.
00:48:13And she's been very combative.
00:48:15I have reason to believe she's drunk.
00:48:17She's been with me all day.
00:48:19She's been drinking, I'd know.
00:48:21And as for the bottle of whiskey in her car, it's not hers.
00:48:25Release her.
00:48:27Now.
00:48:28Or I'll call your commander.
00:48:30Officer Jacobs is a good friend of mine.
00:48:32He'd love to hear the way you're abusing your power.
00:48:34Well, you can vouch for her.
00:48:43I see you for me.
00:48:49She'll be calling me my fairy.
00:48:50Magic happens when we're together.
00:48:53Why didn't you come back?
00:48:55I thought Tom might need his tie.
00:48:58And I wanted to ask you a favor.
00:49:00After that?
00:49:01Yeah, sure.
00:49:02Anything.
00:49:03Be my date tonight.
00:49:06That's us.
00:49:09It's probably not a good look for a candidate to be dating a staffer.
00:49:13Well, it didn't mean romantically.
00:49:15It's a campaign event.
00:49:16Oh.
00:49:17We need to plan my speech for election night.
00:49:20And you've just been working so hard.
00:49:22I think you deserve a night off.
00:49:24Well, in that case, how can I say no?
00:49:29Senator Whitmore, thank you again for coming.
00:49:32It means the world.
00:49:34When you call, I always come.
00:49:36Oh, and here's the man of the hour.
00:49:43And who is that fine young lady as his arm around?
00:49:48Oh, that's just some little slut.
00:49:50You can have her if you like.
00:49:52Now, Mrs. Carter, I bristle at the very suggestion.
00:49:55I'm a man of great ethics and dignity.
00:49:58Senator Whitmore, didn't know you'd be here.
00:50:01It's an honor.
00:50:02I have wonderful news.
00:50:04Because I'm always looking out for my son,
00:50:07I have managed to convince the senator
00:50:09to be your political advisor for the rest of the campaign.
00:50:15But the election's tomorrow.
00:50:17Son, I can tell you from my experience,
00:50:18the only hours that matter to manage campaign
00:50:21are the last 24.
00:50:22So let's finish strong.
00:50:24I really appreciate the offer,
00:50:26and I'm really grateful for your support,
00:50:28but I already have an advisor.
00:50:30I'd like you to meet Sarah Watson.
00:50:32It is my deep pleasure to meet you.
00:50:38Sarah's been absolutely integral to this campaign.
00:50:42My poll numbers just keep jumping up because of her.
00:50:45If I win tomorrow,
00:50:46it's gonna be her fault, not mine.
00:50:48Well, if you all excuse me,
00:50:50I gotta go give a speech.
00:50:52Oh, and didn't mean to refuse your wise counsel.
00:50:55He's just very loyal.
00:50:59You and Sarah can work together.
00:51:04I like the sound of that.
00:51:12Tomorrow's the big day.
00:51:14And we couldn't have gotten here
00:51:15without all your hard work and dedication.
00:51:17So, to sum up the journey we've all been on together,
00:51:21my brilliant advisor,
00:51:24my fairy, Sarah,
00:51:26has prepared a little presentation for us.
00:51:32Don't worry.
00:51:33Her world is about to completely fall apart.
00:51:54Great advisor for swimsuits.
00:51:57I'd let her advise me on every position.
00:52:05Shut it down.
00:52:06Shut it down.
00:52:10I'm gonna find who did this stupid prank.
00:52:12Until then,
00:52:13I want you all to know
00:52:14that that woman you just laughed at
00:52:16is the most talented, hardworking woman I've ever met.
00:52:19She's a single mom
00:52:20who works day in and day out for her son.
00:52:22Not for money,
00:52:23not for recognition,
00:52:24but for love.
00:52:25And beyond that,
00:52:26she's helped me recognize
00:52:27my purpose.
00:52:29And that is to bring a better life
00:52:31to the people of this city.
00:52:35So my advice to all of you
00:52:36is don't laugh at Sarah.
00:52:40Be Sarah.
00:52:46That bitch has nine lives.
00:52:51He's right, you know.
00:52:54You made it.
00:52:55Of course.
00:52:56I wouldn't miss her.
00:52:58And I've decided to be an influencer
00:53:00and being seen around Owen
00:53:02will rake in the followers.
00:53:04So thank you.
00:53:06Excellent job.
00:53:07Really nice.
00:53:08Really nice, Brittany.
00:53:09Wow.
00:53:09No one has ever stood up for me like that.
00:53:14He's incredible.
00:53:20The speech made it work.
00:53:24But the picture
00:53:26was perfect.
00:53:28Easy.
00:53:29No need to make a scene, young lady.
00:53:31We're only talking.
00:53:32Senator,
00:53:33I think you've had a little bit
00:53:34too much to drink,
00:53:35so let me go and get you some water.
00:53:37No, no.
00:53:37Don't walk away from the one man
00:53:39that can actually do something
00:53:40for your future.
00:53:41Excellent job.
00:53:42Really nice.
00:53:43In return,
00:53:43you can do a little something
00:53:45for me.
00:53:51We're going to enjoy this.
00:53:55I see.
00:53:56A little quid pro quo, huh?
00:53:58Let's see if you can take it
00:53:59as well as you give it.
00:54:02Don't you dare touch her.
00:54:04Come on, Carter.
00:54:05What's the point of being a politician
00:54:07if you can't enjoy the power?
00:54:08Now step aside
00:54:10and let me enjoy.
00:54:12You apologize to her.
00:54:14Can't get the hell out of here.
00:54:15You're making the mistake
00:54:16of your life, kid.
00:54:18Do it now.
00:54:19I'm sorry.
00:54:20But you're a frigid bitch.
00:54:22I can't enjoy your...
00:54:28You just punched a senator.
00:54:30Are you okay?
00:54:31I won't be
00:54:31if you lose this campaign.
00:54:33The election is tomorrow.
00:54:36Okay.
00:54:37Okay.
00:54:38No one's around.
00:54:39Maybe nobody saw.
00:54:40We have to get out of here
00:54:42and pray he does not remember
00:54:44this in the morning.
00:54:48Can I see your hand?
00:54:52Ooh.
00:54:56Now look,
00:54:56I would say you're just
00:54:57going to be sleeping it off
00:54:58for a while.
00:55:01I'm just...
00:55:03You know,
00:55:04when we were escaping
00:55:05from the gym,
00:55:07it kind of reminded me
00:55:08of when we used to...
00:55:09Sneak out of the assembly.
00:55:11Yeah.
00:55:11Yeah.
00:55:13Come right here to this room.
00:55:15I told my mom we had homework.
00:55:18Homework's the last thing we did.
00:55:21Yeah, the only thing
00:55:21I seem to remember
00:55:22studying was...
00:55:24You.
00:55:39Hi, honey.
00:55:41How was your leadership conference?
00:55:43Okay, yeah, yeah.
00:55:44Aunt Daisy's going to be
00:55:45with you tonight.
00:55:45I'm going to be home late.
00:55:48So, yeah, yeah.
00:55:49We'll practice your speech
00:55:49in the morning.
00:55:50I love you.
00:55:52You're amazing,
00:55:53you know that?
00:55:55The way you raise
00:55:56such a sweet,
00:55:56successful kid
00:55:57all on your own.
00:55:59Uh, we should probably
00:56:01wash this off
00:56:02before you bandage it.
00:56:03About that,
00:56:05I haven't been able
00:56:06to get a plumber in here.
00:56:08The only running water
00:56:09I've got is in the tub.
00:56:13Uh, this one?
00:56:16Hey.
00:56:17Handy.
00:56:22Is it broken?
00:56:23Nah, the water
00:56:24just takes a second.
00:56:30Well,
00:56:32I'm all wet now.
00:56:33You're all wet now, huh?
00:56:35Whatever.
00:56:35Okay, just come in here
00:56:36and I'll wash your hands.
00:56:38Wait.
00:56:39You're going to get me
00:56:40all wet.
00:56:40I would never.
00:56:43Got my eye on you.
00:56:44Just get over here.
00:56:51Great.
00:57:06You!
00:57:08I...
00:57:08I...
00:57:09You...
00:57:30What do you say, Gary?
00:57:48I never forgot your smell The sound of your laugh
00:58:11I never forgot you, Sarah
00:58:22Don't move
00:58:23You look perfect in this light
00:58:27Good morning
00:58:28Good morning
00:58:36I missed you
00:58:37I missed you too
00:58:39But
00:58:41Owen, 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
00:58:54He's Tom's father, and I have to tell him right now
00:58:58Owen
00:59:00I've been keeping a secret from you
00:59:04And 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
00:59:17Tom
00:59:22Owen, are you in there?
00:59:24Oh my god, that's your move
00:59:25I'll hide
00:59:26No
00:59:27We're together now
00:59:28We have nothing to hide
00:59:33Should 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
01:00:04None of this is Sarah's fault
01:00:06She 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
01:00:14Owen
01:00:17Your 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
01:00:35So
01:00:37I'm resigning as your advisor
01:00:40Sarah
01:00:41Excellent
01:00:42So we'll issue a denial claim
01:00:44It'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?
01:00:58Do something I should have done a long time ago
01:01:01Talk to Joe Callahan
01:01:05You tell me, huh?
01:01:08Where the hell have you been?
01:01:10It'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're here to beat me up like you did to Senator Whitmore?
01:01:21He deserved it
01:01:22Whatever the reason
01:01:23That's the best thing that could have happened to me
01:01:25You just handed me this election on a silver platter
01:01:27He sexually assaulted Sarah Watson
01:01:30You remember Sarah
01:01:31You two hooked up in high school when she was still with me?
01:01:34So you're just here for revenge?
01:01:37Am I another casualty of your mental breakdown?
01:01:39Look, I want you to issue a joint statement with me against the senator
01:01:42Now write
01:01:43No, I'm writing this into the mayor's office
01:01:46I 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
01:02:01So Joe isn't Tom's father
01:02:05You never slept with Sarah?
01:02:07No, Sarah came on to me that one time
01:02:09Kissed me
01:02:10You saw us
01:02:11Then she disappeared
01:02:13That's it
01:02:18Where the fuck's my driver?
01:02:22Hey Tom, Daisy, where are y'all?
01:02:26Okay, ha, I'm not in the mood for jokes
01:02:28Where are you guys?
01:02:29Tom, Daisy
01:02:29You can't find your son?
01:02:32Miss Holden?
01:02:33Uh, sorry, what are you doing here again?
01:02:36I 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 has been a huge misunderstanding
01:02:50My friend stayed with Tom last night
01:02:53So 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
01:02:59And then my phone died
01:03:00I just
01:03:00Look, so
01:03:01Are you saying that you didn't make it here last night?
01:03:03No
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
01:03:15And now he's missing?
01:03:17This is very serious
01:03:18Miss Holden
01:03:19If you care about Tom at all
01:03:21I need you to help me look for him
01:03:23I will help Tom
01:03:24By 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
01:03:36And the video of you egging Owen Carter on
01:03:39To hit our senator
01:03:41You belong in prison
01:03:43I don't have time for this bullshit right now
01:03:46I need to find my son
01:03:53Oh my god
01:03:55I was just at HQ
01:03:57And I overheard someone saying that they saw your son
01:03:59He's down by the river with some older man
01:04:05Mom
01:04:06I'm fine
01:04:10I
01:04:10Oh my god
01:04:12I was so worried
01:04:13I
01:04:13Thank you
01:04:15Where were you?
01:04:17When I woke up
01:04:17You weren't here
01:04:18And neither was Daisy
01:04:19So I went to the cafe
01:04:21To look for you
01:04:22And Owen found me
01:04:24I've heard enough
01:04:27Mr. Carter can't save you this time
01:04:29Your child could have been killed
01:04:31While you were off doing God knows what
01:04:34It wasn't her fault
01:04:35Somebody locked me in the bathroom
01:04:42You
01:04:47I'm willing to bet that you're also the one that made that call to Miss Holden
01:04:54You know what?
01:04:56You mess with me
01:04:57Fine
01:04:58I can handle it
01:05:01But you crossed a line
01:05:04Trying to get my son taken away from me
01:05:06I will kill you
01:05:07I'm gonna kill her
01:05:10She's not worth it
01:05:12Brittany
01:05:14You can see yourself out now
01:05:15Owen, I
01:05:16I can explain
01:05:16You heard me
01:05:17Owen, please
01:05:18You're fired
01:05:20I'm trying to 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
01:05:39Owen Carter is my father
01:05:44Owen Carter is your father
01:05:46Of course
01:05:47Isn't that right?
01:05:48Dad?
01:05:50Yes
01:05:52He's my son
01:05:56Can'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
01:06:03Well, we didn't want it to get out
01:06:06We were young and unmarried
01:06:08And 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
01:06:16Then 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
01:06:35Um, 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
01:06:53Concocting 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?
01:07:14Owen
01:07:15Meet your son
01:07:19Tom
01:07:21Tom
01:07:23Owen Carter is your dad
01:07:26For real
01:07:29Tom
01:07:31Tom's my son
01:07:32You're my dad?
01:07:34No way
01:07:36Way
01:07:36Long way
01:07:37But
01:07:38Wait
01:07:41Dad
01:07:42I can't believe it
01:07:46You know, it's strange
01:07:47But I think I can believe it
01:07:49You can't?
01:07:54Yeah, I, uh
01:07:56Talked to Joe
01:07:57He said you two never
01:07:59Yeah
01:08:00You know
01:08:01Oh, and listen
01:08:04I'm really sorry
01:08:06That I lied to you
01:08:07I just
01:08:09I thought this would ruin your career
01:08:11And your mom had promised me
01:08:12That 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
01:08:27You had a right to all of those years with your son
01:08:29Hey, people
01:08:31Let bygones be bygones
01:08:34So, are you and mom
01:08:38Boyfriend and girlfriend?
01:08:40I 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
01:08:58Dad
01:09:00Do you love mom?
01:09:03I do
01:09:06I don't want to be with her
01:09:07The 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 hoped for so long
01:09:30That this moment would come
01:09:32It has
01:09:37Sarah Watson
01:09:39Will you marry me?
01:09:43Yes
01:09:45Owen
01:09:45It'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
01:09:57The election
01:09:58Joe'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
01:10:07You can still win this
01:10:08Nah, the polls are open
01:10:09Joe's gonna win
01:10:10No, no
01:10:11I will
01:10:12I'll go
01:10:12I 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
01:10:25The only truth that matters
01:10:28That you're my son
01:10:30We're gonna go to HQ
01:10:31With our heads held high
01:10:33We're gonna say thank you
01:10:34To the volunteers and staffers
01:10:36And we're gonna move right on
01:10:38To the next election
01:10:39Cause that's what we do
01:10:42I'm sorry
01:10:43You guys
01:10:47My video is blowing up
01:10:50I mean, I guess I did look good
01:10:51In 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
01:11:06After 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
01:11:17To hide him from me
01:11:19For all these years
01:11:21Convinced her to
01:11:22Break my heart
01:11:23And then you tried to have him expelled
01:11:25How could you?
01:11:26I did it for you
01:11:27So you could go to a prestigious college
01:11:30And go to DC
01:11:31And live your dreams
01:11:33Without me
01:11:35You'd be a plumber right now
01:11:37If it would give me back
01:11:38Ten years with my son
01:11:40I would gladly be a plumber
01:11:42Well, you might get your wish
01:11:44Since you punched
01:11:45Senator Whitmore
01:11:47You're certain to lose the race
01:11:49That's what you care about?
01:11:51Just go
01:11:52I can't even look at you
01:11:55Owen
01:11:55You know, Mother
01:11:58I'm not gonna lose this race
01:12:00Because I'm gonna withdraw from it
01:12:01To focus on the important things
01:12:15It doesn't make any sense
01:12:16I've gotten a million views
01:12:18In just two hours
01:12:19What?
01:12:20Yes
01:12:20Let me see
01:12:25Dear friends
01:12:27I'm so grateful for all the hard work
01:12:29You put into this campaign
01:12:31But I regret to inform you
01:12:33That due to personal circumstances
01:12:35I'm withdrawing my candidacy for mayor
01:12:40No, no, no, no
01:12:42He's not
01:12:43He is not
01:12:47Everyone, open the news

01:13:07He's the mayor we need
01:13:10People are starting to believe you
01:13:12You're still in this race
01:13:13Owen is not aware yet
01:13:19Mom, Dad, guess what?
01:13:20I won
01:13:21I'm student council president
01:13:23What?
01:13:24That's amazing, buddy
01:13:25Come here
01:13:26Come here
01:13:27You'll win too, Dad
01:13:29I know it
01:13:30Just now
01:13:34That'll be the results
01:13:36I... I can't
01:13:38Okay
01:13:41Hello
01:13:44Yeah
01:13:45Yeah, 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

01:14:14It's all thanks to you
01:14:17Congratulations, son
01:14:20All I ever wanted
01:14:22Was 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
01:14:30I'm so
01:14:32So sorry
01:14:35You are my life
01:14:40Please
01:14:41Forgive me
01:14:45Hey
01:14:49You don't owe my mother anything
01:14:52No
01:14:53But
01:14:56You'll find this out soon enough
01:14:59When you become a parent
01:15:01Your entire world
01:15:02Becomes about that child
01:15:05And I know what it's like
01:15:06To not see straight
01:15:07Try and protect them
01:15:11And you're gonna make
01:15:12Plenty of mistakes, too
01:15:13Trust me
01:15:15You should forgive her
01:15:27Thank you
01:15:31Now
01:15:33Who wants a victory photo?
01:15:36Okay
01:15:37One
01:15:38Two
01:15:39Three
01:15:42You're gonna make
01:15:44A great cover story
01:15:47Oh, I am so sorry
01:15:48We're renovating right now
01:15:49We?
01:15:51You may not get a say
01:15:52In the design
01:15:53You have much more
01:15:55Important things to worry
01:15:56About, Mr. Mayor
01:15:56Mm-hmm
01:15:59Congratulations
01:16:00The Mary left
01:16:02One small question
01:16:04That interests our readers
01:16:06Is it hard for you
01:16:07To work together
01:16:09Live together
01:16:10And raise a child together?
01:16:12Well, we have one rule at home
01:16:13Whatever the argument
01:16:15No matter who says what
01:16:16The truth always wins
01:16:18In the end
01:16:18And who decides
01:16:20What the truth is?
01:16:22Me
01:16:24You're not a good one
01:16:25No matter who says what
01:16:33You're not a good one
01:16:36You're not a good one
01:16:37You're not a good one
