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 gonna be sick.
00:00:49No, no, no, no. But we use protection.
00:00:53Sarah, listen to me. I've let this little fling go on because I assumed you were just some high school
00:00:59amusement.
00:01:01Oh, and can't have some trashy low-class girl on his arm if he wants to succeed.
00:01:05What have you got there?
00:01:08Give it to me.
00:01:11Give it to me.
00:01:12Give it to me!
00:01:19You're pregnant.
00:01:22This 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,
00:01:38his career is over before it begins.
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?
00:01:49If you really love Owen, you will end this pregnancy and never speak to him again.
00:01:58Understand?
00:02:06Owen, 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'd talk 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.
00:02:31We 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.
00:02:59Owen.
00:03:00I'm so sorry.
00:03:02I-
00:03:03Hey, man.
00:03:05She came on to me, so...
00:03:06You son of a bitch!
00:03:08Owen!
00:03:08Look at the Ivy Leagues in Congress.
00:03:10Don'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.
00:03:16I'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.
00:04:01Good job.
00:04:04The campaign officially starts tomorrow.
00:04:06Be ready.
00:04:07Yep.
00:04:11Good job.
00:04:12My coffee isn't even hot!
00:04:14If I wanted a room 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 here tomorrow.
00:04:33Filming? Filming what?
00:04:35I'm sorry about that, Brittany.
00:04:37I'll straighten her out.
00:04:39You. You'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.
00:05:04There you go.
00:05:05Okay, do you want to run your speech before you head out?
00:05:08I'm good, Mom.
00:05:09Of course you're good. You'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., has 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.
00:05:35Mom?
00:05:36Mom, what's wrong? Are 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...
00:06:05You've 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.
00:06:14It slipped out.
00:06:15But you know you're going to have to tell him, right?
00:06:18You don't know Owen's mom.
00:06:20You 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, about that.
00:06:31I just got a push.
00:06:33He's supposed to be filming some PR thing for his campaign tomorrow.
00:06:36At the cafe.
00:06:39What?
00:06:42So, he comes in, you shake hands, talk about small business, the value of hard work, blah, 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?
00:07:00Oh, 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 mom.
00:07:09He's going to be our leader.
00:07:21He's going to 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 as he makes his first stop at the
00:07:34Simple Cafe where he wrote his first speeches.
00:07:40So, we go in, you chat with the business owner, you stick to the questions that I prepared
00:07:45for you because I did my opposition with the script.
00:07:46Brittany, my whole campaign is about helping small businesses.
00:07:49I 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.
00:08:41All right.
00:08:41Let's get you out of the sun.
00:08:42Let's go inside.
00:08:44Let's 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 Blunt for Mr. Carter?
00:09:26Let's go for a minute.
00:09:28What are you doing?
00:09:36Oh, my God.
00:09:37I am, I'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?
00:09:49That's gonna burn.
00:09:50Um, luckily, I work all day with boiling hot liquids, so I always carry something all
00:09:57on me.
00:10:10Look at you saving me again.
00:10:13Just like old-time South Airy.
00:10:17What the fuck, Sarah?
00:10:18You spilled coffee on the future mayor?
00:10:20Hey, it's an accident.
00:10:22It's fine.
00:10:22You wanna know about small business?
00:10:23I'm gonna tell you the truth.
00:10:25I can't afford quality girls, so I have to set off a trash like-
00:10:28Hey, that 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.
00:10:37Sarah, you're fired.
00:10:38What?
00:10:39That is not what I meant.
00:10:41You 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.
00:10:55Don't you dare lay a hand on her.
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
00:11:24things get hard, 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.
00:11:34You should at least let me give you a ride home.
00:11:37I live close enough to walk.
00:11:38It's fine.
00:11:40In 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?
00:12:00Thanks for helping me out.
00:12:02Yeah.
00:12:02I mean, I did spill coffee on you, so I would, yeah.
00:12:05Uh, shower is right there.
00:12:08Okay.
00:12:16Uh, 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.
00:12:24No boyfriend.
00:12:25No husband.
00:12:26No 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.
00:12:48Ah, 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 going to 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 happened.
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 by who it refuses to leave behind.
00:13:53So?
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 helped me write up my talking points.
00:14:10You 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 going to start seeing it.
00:14:37Owen, 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.
00:14:52You know this town better than anyone.
00:14:55You'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?
00:15:11I won't forget what you were for me, Thierry.
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.
00:15:36No, no, it is a bad idea for so many reasons.
00:15:40Name one.
00:15:41One.
00:15:41His 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, but by who it
00:15:59refuses 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.
00:16:11No, he's a pretty boy poser who left 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.
00:16:27What is wrong?
00:16:28I 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.
00:16:38We don't want Joe as mayor, right?
00:16:44Owen, as your PR consultant, I beg you, do not respond to Joe Callahan.
00:16:49Keeja's jealous that everyone was reporting on how devastatingly handsome you are.
00:16:54Which you are.
00:17:02What the fuck is she doing here?
00:17:06Hey.
00:17:07Hey.
00:17:09Our 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?
00:17:26Okay.
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.
00:17:36Call a press conference.
00:17:38My opponent, Joe Callahan, keeps saying I'm not authentic.
00:17:43And he's right.
00:17:46What 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.
00:17:54I 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. and bought one right here.
00:18:07Visit anytime you like, Joe.
00:18:14You.
00:18:15What are you doing here?
00:18:17You have a lot of nerve showing up again.
00:18:21I thought we got rid of you like you got rid of your fetus.
00:18:25I warned you years ago to stay away.
00:18:29And I am very powerful in this town.
00:18:33Owen, look 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've 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.
00:19:14That's just some basic idea from an inexperienced mind trying to pander to the masses.
00:19:22Okay.
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?
00:19:38Tom, what are you doing here?
00:19:39You forgot to give me my campaign stickers for the council.
00:19:43Daisy said you'd be here.
00:19:44Do you work for Owen Carter?
00:19:47Um...
00:19:47I 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.
00:20:13Okay, bud.
00:20:13We gotta get back to work.
00:20:15Wait, can I get a picture first?
00:20:17Absolutely.
00:20:18All right.
00:20:21One.
00:20:22Two.
00:20:22We look so natural together.
00:20:26Maybe I should just tell them.
00:20:29The resemblance is uncanny.
00:20:32Any advice for my campaign?
00:20:33Uh, well...
00:20:35I've always said do good when no one's looking, but, uh...
00:20:39Your mom's the real campaign genius.
00:20:42Thanks.
00:20:42I know.
00:20:43My mom told me my dad's a politician, too.
00:20:50Okay, you should probably get back to class.
00:20:52Bye, Mr. Carter.
00:20:53Good luck.
00:20:57Great kid.
00:20:58Yes, Sarah.
00:20:59Sarah, exactly how old is your charming little boy?
00:21:05He's, um...
00:21:08Almost ten.
00:21:09Is it possible that Tom is my son?
00:21:12I understand now.
00:21:15That politician father must be Joe Callahan.
00:21:23I mean, they did date.
00:21:26And...
00:21:26Or at least, whatever it was we saw them doing.
00:21:29Mom, it's none of our business.
00:21:32I'm gonna head out.
00:21:34Wait.
00:21:36I have a surprise for you.
00:21:38Okay.
00:21:45This room needs a little work.
00:21:49I cannot believe that this is the house you bought.
00:21:53You remember it?
00:21:54The house you grew up in.
00:21:57Smart.
00:21:58Or mine butters of your childhood.
00:22:00Lots of good memories in this room.
00:22:07Admittedly, you could use a little furniture.
00:22:10I remember my desk used to be right over there.
00:22:12Oh, my God.
00:22:13Do you remember?
00:22:14You used to get that mattress and bring it down here.
00:22:16You used to put it right here.
00:22:18Uh, yeah.
00:22:19To be near my books.
00:22:21No, exactly.
00:22:22Oh, God.
00:22:23That was finals week.
00:22:25Finals week.
00:22:28That's our first time.
00:22:34Are you sure you want to do this?
00:22:37Yeah.
00:22:38I want you to be my first.
00:22:45That's why it still feels like home here.
00:22:48All my best memories were here.
00:22:51Because they all involved you.
00:22:56Owen, you can't be serious.
00:22:58We have three mansions, a penthouse in D.C.
00:23:01and Manhattan, a lake house, and you want to live here.
00:23:05I like it.
00:23:07I'm staying.
00:23:08May I have a word with my son?
00:23:13You never did think clearly when I came to that girl.
00:23:16She has trouble.
00:23:17She's not.
00:23:18And I'm a grown man.
00:23:19Trust me.
00:23:20Every choice she makes will cost you.
00:23:26Owen, I can't believe it.
00:23:28But that whole buying a house thing?
00:23:29It worked.
00:23:30You just went up almost 20 points in the polls.
00:23:35See, Mom?
00:23:36You gotta trust me.
00:23:38Sarah and I can do great things together.
00:23:40Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while.
00:23:44Well, I'm doubling that squirrel's offer.
00:23:47That's my decision.
00:23:48It's not changing.
00:23:49All right.
00:23:50If that's your decision as your campaign manager,
00:23:53I will close the deal with her.
00:23:55Now, you just focus on winning,
00:23:58and Sarah and I will start fresh.
00:24:02Hey, Sarah.
00:24:05Your plan worked.
00:24:06We went up in the polls.
00:24:07I know.
00:24:08I saw.
00:24:09See, Eleanor, I told you.
00:24:10I'm not trying to hurt Owen.
00:24:12I'm trying to help him.
00:24:13I am sure we can work together.
00:24:16Now, Owen has a call scheduled with the governor.
00:24:19We should let him take that.
00:24:28You saw the polls.
00:24:29Oh, just shut up.
00:24:31So, in the end, you kept seeing Joe,
00:24:33even though it started as a facade.
00:24:38I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
00:24:40I can't tell her who Tom's father really is.
00:24:44Imagine getting knocked up by both candidates.
00:24:48Listen up, you two-bit skank.
00:24:51Here's how it's going to be.
00:24:53We both know that you are dangerous to Owen's career.
00:24:56If it gets out that he got you pregnant in high school
00:24:59and you got an abortion...
00:25:01I listened to you in high school.
00:25:04I'm not that little girl anymore.
00:25:05I'm not.
00:25:07I need this job,
00:25:08and I would never hurt Owen.
00:25:12You have no idea
00:25:14who you're dealing with.
00:25:16You will tell Owen
00:25:18you are refusing the job
00:25:19or I will make your life hell.
00:25:22You already did make my life hell.
00:25:26You cost me the love of my life.
00:25:28I have nothing left to lose.
00:25:31Really?
00:25:32Your son goes to Montclair Academy, correct?
00:25:38Did you know
00:25:39I am still on their school board?
00:25:42You leave my son out of this.
00:25:46If you want your bastard to have a future,
00:25:49you will get out of our lives.
00:25:52So either Tom loses the opportunity of his life
00:25:57or I lose the man who is the love of mine.
00:26:00So, Sarah,
00:26:03make your choice.
00:26:08Second, let's adjust the tie.
00:26:09All right.
00:26:12You know what?
00:26:12Let's take a picture together.
00:26:15Don't we look like we're a couple?
00:26:18Sorry if I'm interrupting anything.
00:26:20You are interrupting everything.
00:26:22I just need to talk to Owen.
00:26:24Sure.
00:26:24Just can wait.
00:26:27That whore.
00:26:28I will get my man.
00:26:30What's up?
00:26:31Hey, um,
00:26:32I can't take this job.
00:26:34Why?
00:26:34It's too hard.
00:26:36Just working together,
00:26:37it's just bringing up
00:26:37a lot of really painful memories for me.
00:26:40Oh, look, Sarah,
00:26:40this is hard for me too.
00:26:42I mean, you broke my heart,
00:26:43but I'm willing to put it behind me
00:26:44because
00:26:45I believe in what we're doing here.
00:26:47Well, I do too.
00:26:48I just can't.
00:26:49If I can't convince you to stay,
00:26:51you gotta at least let me pay you
00:26:52for your first day.
00:27:01$5,000?
00:27:04For one day?
00:27:05Owen, I can't take.
00:27:06That's too much.
00:27:07In that one day,
00:27:08you changed the whole momentum
00:27:09of this election.
00:27:10You're really talented, Sarah.
00:27:12Truth is, I need you.
00:27:16I'm sorry.
00:27:18If you want your bastard
00:27:20to have a future,
00:27:21you will get out of our lives.
00:27:24I can't.
00:27:25Change your mind.
00:27:27I'm right here.
00:27:32Five grand.
00:27:34For one day,
00:27:35we make $150 at the cafe.
00:27:38I know.
00:27:39I have to give it back.
00:27:40Don't you dare.
00:27:41Okay, you don't have a job
00:27:42thanks to him.
00:27:43And you have bills to pay,
00:27:45you have a child to raise.
00:27:48Hi.
00:27:49Hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:27:49What's up?
00:27:50What's wrong?
00:27:51Whoever does not know his past,
00:27:52his present is poor,
00:27:54and his future is
00:27:56shrouded in fog.
00:27:56Hey, what are you talking about?
00:27:58All the candidates
00:27:59for student council president
00:28:00had to fill out
00:28:01a family tree today
00:28:02to show the pride
00:28:04in where they come from.
00:28:05Freaking Jaden
00:28:07saw that I didn't know
00:28:08who my dad was.
00:28:10Though I don't have a future.
00:28:12Hey.
00:28:13Hey.
00:28:14No, no, no, no, no.
00:28:15Freaking Jaden
00:28:16doesn't know
00:28:16what he's talking about.
00:28:17He has no idea.
00:28:18He's wrong.
00:28:19Okay.
00:28:20No, he isn't.
00:28:21I'm withdrawing from the right thing.
00:28:22Hey, don't do that, my love.
00:28:24Don't.
00:28:24Then tell me
00:28:25who my father is.
00:28:28I will.
00:28:29I will, hon.
00:28:30When you're older,
00:28:31though, I promise.
00:28:32Just not right now.
00:28:32Why not?
00:28:33It's complicated.
00:28:34But I promise,
00:28:35I promise you,
00:28:36you do have a future,
00:28:37even if you don't have a dad,
00:28:39okay?
00:28:39I hate you!
00:28:45Sarah?
00:28:47Don't.
00:28:48Don't start
00:28:49with the you have to tell him.
00:28:52Eleanor threatened to expel him
00:28:54from school.
00:28:56She's going to ruin him
00:28:57before he even has a chance
00:28:58to start.
00:28:59To be honest,
00:29:00he's going to give it all up himself
00:29:02because you're keeping this secret.
00:29:05You're not 18 anymore.
00:29:07If Eleanor fights dirty,
00:29:09you can fight back.
00:29:10It's not just about me.
00:29:13It's Owen.
00:29:15If people find out
00:29:16that he had a kid out of wedlock
00:29:17in high school,
00:29:19I mean,
00:29:19he could lose this election.
00:29:21His career could be over.
00:29:23Okay,
00:29:23Sarah,
00:29:24this is not the 1970s.
00:29:26So what if he had a kid
00:29:28out of wedlock?
00:29:29Plenty of elected officials
00:29:30have done way worse.
00:29:33Tom and Owen
00:29:34both deserve
00:29:34to know the truth.
00:29:37You're right.
00:29:38I'm sorry.
00:29:45One criticism
00:29:46is that you're all style
00:29:48and no substance.
00:29:49That you offer
00:29:50no real solutions
00:29:51to the issues.
00:29:52Well,
00:29:53take small business,
00:29:54for example.
00:29:54I proposed we
00:29:56raise workers' wages.
00:29:58Which places a financial burden
00:30:00on small businesses, right?
00:30:02How can anyone benefit
00:30:03if they can't afford
00:30:04to keep their business running?
00:30:05Yes, um...
00:30:10You'll have to excuse me.
00:30:11I'm having a little trouble
00:30:13articulating at the moment.
00:30:14Isn't it a public servant's job
00:30:16to articulate things
00:30:17to the public?
00:30:21He's been totally unfocused
00:30:22since that waitress advisor left.
00:30:25He's stressed.
00:30:26He's been focusing
00:30:27so much on the campaign.
00:30:29He could use
00:30:30a little feminine comfort.
00:30:33I wish.
00:30:33that that would be my dream.
00:30:36I've wanted Owen
00:30:37for years.
00:30:39Well, now's the time.
00:30:41Make your move.
00:30:44Owen!
00:30:45Hey, that was great.
00:30:47Sure, a few places
00:30:48we could tighten.
00:30:49Maybe we go get a drink?
00:30:51Talk strategy?
00:30:53Maybe later.
00:30:55Go after him
00:30:56and make sure
00:30:57that white trash parasite
00:30:58stays away.
00:30:59What is your problem?
00:31:02Why is she good enough
00:31:03for Owen and I'm not?
00:31:04She actually
00:31:06helps his future.
00:31:08Remind me again
00:31:09how your story ended.
00:31:11Wow, no,
00:31:12I remember exactly
00:31:13how it ended
00:31:14and I think it's time
00:31:15Owen finds out
00:31:16exactly who ended it.
00:31:22security?
00:31:23We have an intruder.
00:31:29Knew I'd find you here.
00:31:32You always came here
00:31:33to clear your head.
00:31:34Yeah, last I was here
00:31:35was a decade ago.
00:31:37After you cheated on me
00:31:38with Joe.
00:31:41I actually wanted to talk
00:31:42to you about that.
00:31:44Wanna explain?
00:31:45Nah, you don't have to.
00:31:47You were right,
00:31:48we shouldn't work together.
00:31:50Too much painful history.
00:31:53I mean,
00:31:54it wasn't all painful.
00:31:57Some of it was pretty great.
00:32:03And there's something
00:32:04you don't know.
00:32:05So tell me.
00:32:07Just say it.
00:32:08Sarah, he deserves to know.
00:32:10And he could be
00:32:11a great father.
00:32:14Oh, and
00:32:15the truth is
00:32:17Oh, and
00:32:19the truth is
00:32:22that
00:32:23that's her.
00:32:24Arrest her.
00:32:26Mom, what are you doing?
00:32:28She doesn't work
00:32:29for you anymore.
00:32:30She's probably spying.
00:32:32Don't forget
00:32:33her connection with Joe.
00:32:34I would never do that.
00:32:35I would never
00:32:36I actually want to
00:32:38join your campaign.
00:32:40I've decided.
00:32:43All right.
00:32:44Welcome back.
00:32:45Oh, and no.
00:32:46Mom,
00:32:47I wanted to run
00:32:48for mayor of my hometown
00:32:49to reconnect with who I am.
00:32:51With what I believe in.
00:32:52Sarah's an integral part of that.
00:32:54I want her here.
00:32:56Nobody said anything
00:32:57like that to me
00:32:58in years.
00:32:58And in a minute,
00:32:59he'll know everything.
00:33:02Fine.
00:33:03If that's what you want.
00:33:05It's time for your interview.
00:33:07This is the most
00:33:08important network
00:33:09in the country.
00:33:10Let's nail it.
00:33:11All right.
00:33:12So you finish
00:33:13telling me later?
00:33:14Yeah.
00:33:15You, come with me.
00:33:17Tell him what?
00:33:19That would be
00:33:20between me and Owen.
00:33:21Not your business.
00:33:21That alert
00:33:23I just got.
00:33:25It was a DNA test.
00:33:28I know
00:33:30that Tom
00:33:31is Owen's son.
00:33:35That's right.
00:33:37Your son and I
00:33:38had a little chat yesterday.
00:33:40He's really
00:33:41very trusting.
00:33:42He didn't hesitate
00:33:44when I
00:33:45offered him
00:33:46a glass of water,
00:33:47giving me plenty
00:33:48of DNA
00:33:49to work with.
00:33:50You have no right
00:33:51to approach my son.
00:33:53You had that child
00:33:54behind my back.
00:33:56Your back?
00:33:57My body?
00:33:58My choice.
00:33:59Oh, cool it
00:34:00with the protest slogans.
00:34:01And now listen
00:34:02to what's gonna happen here.
00:34:03I will allow you
00:34:04to continue working
00:34:06for Owen
00:34:07as long as
00:34:08you never tell him
00:34:10that Tom
00:34:11is his son
00:34:11or anyone else.
00:34:13Or what?
00:34:14This time.
00:34:15Hmm?
00:34:16Tom is an A-plus student.
00:34:18Nobody's gonna
00:34:19expel him
00:34:20because of one
00:34:20of your wins,
00:34:21not this time.
00:34:23Especially not
00:34:24when they all
00:34:24find out that
00:34:25he is the child
00:34:26of our next mayor.
00:34:27Oh, sweetheart.
00:34:30You underestimate me.
00:34:32Tom is my grandchild.
00:34:34I have no intention
00:34:35of pressuring anyone
00:34:37to expel him.
00:34:38Really?
00:34:39No, I'll let fate
00:34:41do that for me.
00:34:44I would, um,
00:34:45answer that
00:34:46if I were you.
00:34:50Uh, Miss Holden.
00:34:51Hi.
00:34:52Is everything okay?
00:34:53What's wrong?
00:34:53Did something happen
00:34:54to Tom?
00:34:55Not to Tom.
00:34:56By Tom.
00:34:57He vandalized
00:34:58the school's computer lab.
00:35:00Wait, sir, what?
00:35:02That, no,
00:35:03that doesn't sound like Tom.
00:35:04He would never.
00:35:04I know,
00:35:05but the damage
00:35:06was so severe
00:35:07we brought in
00:35:08the police
00:35:08and we have Tom's
00:35:10DNA at the scene.
00:35:12DNA?
00:35:14I'm sorry to tell you,
00:35:16Tom is suspended
00:35:17from school
00:35:18and thus disqualified
00:35:20for the student
00:35:21council elections.
00:35:22No, no, no, no, no,
00:35:23Miss Holden, please.
00:35:25Look, this is just,
00:35:26this is a terrible mistake.
00:35:28Tom loves this school.
00:35:30He loves it.
00:35:30He would never
00:35:31do anything like that.
00:35:32Parents often have
00:35:33blind spots
00:35:34when it comes
00:35:35to their children.
00:35:37The school board
00:35:38will meet
00:35:38and decide
00:35:39if Tom should be expelled.
00:35:41Ex-
00:35:41Goodbye.
00:35:47Another fatherless child
00:35:50turned to crime.
00:35:51First there'll be
00:35:52a police report,
00:35:54then child welfare
00:35:55will get involved.
00:35:57Why, you might
00:35:58lose everything.
00:36:00What kind of person
00:36:01frames their own
00:36:03grandchild?
00:36:04A woman
00:36:06who loves her son.
00:36:10Now are you
00:36:11going to keep
00:36:11your mouth shut
00:36:12about Tom being
00:36:13Owens
00:36:14or are you
00:36:15going to open it
00:36:16and ruin
00:36:17Tom's life?
00:36:21Fine.
00:36:24You win.
00:36:26I won't say anything
00:36:28to Owen
00:36:28or to Tom,
00:36:29but you have to get
00:36:31this little incident
00:36:32erased off of
00:36:33Tom's record.
00:36:34Oh, I can't do that,
00:36:36but I can
00:36:38have him reinstated
00:36:39in the student
00:36:40council election
00:36:42on the condition
00:36:43that you get
00:36:45out of our lives
00:36:46the moment
00:36:47this campaign
00:36:48ends.
00:36:50Fine.
00:36:57Yes, it's a lot
00:36:58of nuance.
00:36:58It's hard to explain.
00:36:59A few short
00:36:59soundbikes, but
00:37:02yes, thank you
00:37:03for your time.
00:37:05I hope
00:37:06everyone listening
00:37:06goes out the boat.
00:37:19Hello?
00:37:20You okay in there?
00:37:22Go away.
00:37:23I'm sorry
00:37:24you're having
00:37:24a hard time, kid.
00:37:26I can relate.
00:37:29I once locked
00:37:29myself in that
00:37:30same stall
00:37:31after a bad day
00:37:31a long time ago.
00:37:38Why would someone
00:37:39lie about me
00:37:40destroying the
00:37:40computer lab?
00:37:41I didn't even
00:37:42do anything.
00:37:43Yeah, you know,
00:37:43in politics
00:37:44you learn a lot
00:37:45about lies.
00:37:47Liars are weak
00:37:48and they're afraid
00:37:49of the truth.
00:37:50You just might
00:37:50have been the truth
00:37:51for someone.
00:37:52Who you running
00:37:53against?
00:37:54Jaden Green,
00:37:56but I don't think
00:37:56it's him.
00:37:57Yesterday,
00:37:58our class pet,
00:37:59Yerba the gerbil,
00:38:00bit him.
00:38:02He was crying
00:38:02for two hours.
00:38:06How does Joe Callahan
00:38:08have such an amazing
00:38:09son and he's not
00:38:11even around?
00:38:13Well, Jaden might not
00:38:14be the criminal
00:38:15mastermind,
00:38:15but you know
00:38:17what else I've learned?
00:38:19The truth always wins
00:38:21in the end.
00:38:22Keep the faith.
00:38:41You always stick your tongue
00:38:42out like that
00:38:42when you're concentrating?
00:38:45I guess.
00:38:46I do the same thing.
00:38:49He couldn't be mine,
00:38:51could he?
00:38:54Tom,
00:38:55I heard about
00:38:55the computer lab.
00:38:56I'm so sorry.
00:38:57Are you okay?
00:38:58Where are you?
00:39:00Oh.
00:39:03Holden, hi.
00:39:04What are you doing here?
00:39:05Following up
00:39:06on your son's
00:39:07vandalism.
00:39:08I don't know
00:39:09if you understand
00:39:10how much damage
00:39:11was done.
00:39:12It looks even worse
00:39:14than your house.
00:39:16Oh, oh, um,
00:39:18sorry, I just,
00:39:19I started a new job
00:39:20and I haven't really
00:39:21had time to go.
00:39:21I admit I was surprised
00:39:22to learn Tom was behind it.
00:39:25He's a model student.
00:39:26But now I understand.
00:39:29Children often act out
00:39:31when they are neglected.
00:39:33Neglect?
00:39:35I would never neglect
00:39:37Tom,
00:39:38and he didn't act out.
00:39:39He was framed.
00:39:40Oh, well,
00:39:40if you know the perpetrator,
00:39:42I'd love to know.
00:39:43She'll never believe
00:39:45Eleanor did it,
00:39:45not without any proof,
00:39:46and then Tom
00:39:47would get thrown out.
00:39:48I know Tom
00:39:49like the back of my hand.
00:39:51He would never
00:39:52act out like this.
00:39:53The evidence
00:39:54says otherwise.
00:39:56And, uh,
00:39:57as the parent,
00:39:58it is your responsibility
00:40:00to pay for the ninjas.
00:40:04$20,000?
00:40:07Well, I don't have
00:40:09that kind of money.
00:40:10Miss Watson,
00:40:11your son smashed
00:40:1315 laptops
00:40:14and broke
00:40:15three windows.
00:40:16The only reason
00:40:17he did not get expelled
00:40:19is because
00:40:20Eleanor Carter
00:40:21spoke on his behalf.
00:40:23Who's the one who did this
00:40:24in the first place?
00:40:25And if I leave
00:40:27your house today
00:40:27without a check,
00:40:29even she can't help him.
00:40:32Tom?
00:40:34Where were you?
00:40:36Wait,
00:40:37are you saying
00:40:38you had no idea
00:40:40where your son was
00:40:41this whole time?
00:40:42His bus
00:40:42should have dropped him off
00:40:44long ago.
00:40:45I missed it.
00:40:47What?
00:40:48How did you get home?
00:40:49I got a ride.
00:40:50With who?
00:40:51This is far worse
00:40:52than I imagined.
00:40:53Your son is hitchhiking?
00:40:55I'm afraid
00:40:56I'm going to have
00:40:57to report you
00:40:58to Child Protective Services.
00:41:00Still strict as ever,
00:41:01aren't we,
00:41:01Miss Olden?
00:41:02Hmm.
00:41:05Owen?
00:41:06What are you doing here?
00:41:08Gift, I'm a rat.
00:41:09And I'm far from
00:41:10a stranger, Miss Olden.
00:41:11Can I go?
00:41:12I have homework.
00:41:14Yes.
00:41:15Owen Carter,
00:41:16my favorite student.
00:41:17Get over here.
00:41:23I can hold off
00:41:24on calling CPS
00:41:26for now,
00:41:26but I still need
00:41:28for you to pay
00:41:28for the damages
00:41:29to the computer lab,
00:41:31Miss Watson.
00:41:31Ma'am,
00:41:32Tom told me
00:41:32he didn't do it,
00:41:33and I believe him.
00:41:35Trust me,
00:41:36after working in Washington,
00:41:38I know a liar
00:41:38when I see one.
00:41:40Be that as it may,
00:41:41in the absence
00:41:42of another culprit,
00:41:44we need Miss Watson
00:41:45to reimburse us.
00:41:46Yeah,
00:41:47it's fine,
00:41:47I just,
00:41:48I need a day
00:41:48to go to the bank
00:41:49and get a loan.
00:41:49I got it.
00:41:51I got it.
00:41:51How much?
00:41:52No,
00:41:52I'm not taking
00:41:53your money.
00:41:54$20,000.
00:41:57There you are.
00:42:00I've got my eye
00:42:01on you.
00:42:06That was completely
00:42:07inappropriate.
00:42:09I told you
00:42:10that I'm fine
00:42:11on my own
00:42:11and I have been fine
00:42:12on my own
00:42:13raising Tom
00:42:14all of these years.
00:42:14Why,
00:42:15because Joe
00:42:16wasn't in the picture?
00:42:18Come on,
00:42:19Sarah,
00:42:19I don't buy that.
00:42:21Whose child
00:42:22is Tom really?
00:42:26Is Tom really
00:42:27Joe's?
00:42:28I want to tell him
00:42:29so bad
00:42:31that his mom
00:42:32would ruin Tom's life.
00:42:36Tom
00:42:38is
00:42:42Joe's.
00:42:44And he's not in the picture
00:42:45because I never told him.
00:42:48Why not?
00:42:48Don't you think Tom
00:42:49should know his father?
00:42:50I agree,
00:42:51he should.
00:42:53But
00:42:55Joe's father
00:42:57forced me
00:42:57to keep it a secret
00:42:59in order to help
00:43:00his career.
00:43:01What an ass.
00:43:02Who does that
00:43:03to their own grandson
00:43:03just for a career?
00:43:05Yeah,
00:43:05the parents
00:43:06will do anything
00:43:06for their kids.
00:43:07But,
00:43:08please,
00:43:08you cannot tell anybody
00:43:09it'll be a scandal.
00:43:10You know I won't.
00:43:12I never take the low road.
00:43:14He raised
00:43:15an amazing boy.
00:43:17I'm glad
00:43:17I got to meet him.
00:43:19Well,
00:43:19I should go check on him.
00:43:20He's had a hard day.
00:43:22Oh,
00:43:22he's fine.
00:43:23I already talked to him.
00:43:31You have no idea
00:43:32how much that means to me.
00:43:35It's just been me
00:43:36and Tom
00:43:36for so long.
00:43:42No one has ever cared
00:43:43for us like that.
00:43:45It's been a long time
00:43:46for me too,
00:43:47fairy.
00:43:59Good night.
00:44:15Hey.
00:44:16Ah.
00:44:16What magic
00:44:17you're working today,
00:44:17fairy?
00:44:18We are going to explain
00:44:20your stance
00:44:20on small businesses.
00:44:21Ah,
00:44:21yes,
00:44:22the stance
00:44:22I haven't been able
00:44:23to articulate.
00:44:24I know,
00:44:24but you will.
00:44:25For right now,
00:44:26though,
00:44:26we're going to film
00:44:27a video here.
00:44:28My friend Daisy
00:44:28works here.
00:44:29All you have to do
00:44:29is go in
00:44:30and ask her
00:44:30about her salary.
00:44:31That's it.
00:44:32She'll answer.
00:44:32It'll be gold.
00:44:34Okay.
00:44:35Trust you.
00:44:39Something's missing.
00:44:41Um...
00:44:43I always carry a spare
00:44:44for Tom,
00:44:44just in case.
00:44:45It might be a little
00:44:46swell on you,
00:44:47but we are
00:44:48going to make it work.
00:45:04Where do you want me?
00:45:05Um,
00:45:07inside.
00:45:07We should all
00:45:08probably go inside
00:45:09and you can finish
00:45:10that.
00:45:13Daisy,
00:45:14if your boss
00:45:14raised your wages,
00:45:16you think you'd work
00:45:16faster?
00:45:18Honestly,
00:45:19no.
00:45:20You stupid girl,
00:45:21this is a disaster.
00:45:23You are ruining him.
00:45:26If you were paid more,
00:45:27it wouldn't motivate
00:45:28you to work faster.
00:45:29I mean,
00:45:30I already work
00:45:31as fast as I can.
00:45:32So if you were paid more,
00:45:33it wouldn't increase
00:45:34profits here?
00:45:35I didn't say that.
00:45:36I would definitely
00:45:37make money for this place.
00:45:39Okay,
00:45:39so tell me about that.
00:45:40If you worked
00:45:41the same amount...
00:45:42If I got paid
00:45:43what I was worth,
00:45:44then I would feel like
00:45:45my employers
00:45:46valued me
00:45:47and I would smell more.
00:45:49Here's that
00:45:50classic house blend
00:45:52just the way you like it.
00:45:55Now,
00:45:56wouldn't you return
00:45:57to a place
00:45:57with service like that?
00:45:58I come back
00:45:59for that smile every day.
00:46:02Cut it!
00:46:03Oh,
00:46:03perfect,
00:46:04you two!
00:46:04I don't even know
00:46:05what to say anymore.
00:46:06You saved me again.
00:46:06Oh,
00:46:08good job.
00:46:08So proud of you.
00:46:10I mean,
00:46:11good job.
00:46:11He's never gonna
00:46:12end up with me
00:46:13as long as that
00:46:14stupid whore
00:46:14is still around.
00:46:16Leave it to me.
00:46:17I have friends
00:46:18in high places
00:46:19like the police.
00:46:22And if you do
00:46:23exactly as I said,
00:46:25we can separate
00:46:26them for good.
00:46:34Hey,
00:46:35really great work today.
00:46:36I'll see you
00:46:37at the gala tonight.
00:46:48Hi.
00:46:50Is there a problem,
00:46:51officer?
00:46:51We received a report
00:46:53of reckless driving
00:46:54for this vehicle.
00:46:55Uh,
00:46:56this vehicle's been
00:46:56parked for hours.
00:46:57I smell alcohol.
00:46:58Have you been drinking,
00:47:00ma'am?
00:47:00No,
00:47:01no,
00:47:01absolutely not.
00:47:02What's in that bag?
00:47:03Um,
00:47:04I don't know.
00:47:05It's probably my son's.
00:47:12Ma'am,
00:47:13step out of the car.
00:47:14You're under arrest
00:47:15for drunk driving.
00:47:19This is huge.
00:47:20Hands down your back.
00:47:21No,
00:47:22the whiskey's not mine.
00:47:23I promise.
00:47:24And I'm LeBron James.
00:47:25Everyone lies
00:47:26to get out of crimes.
00:47:27I didn't commit a crime.
00:47:29Driving with an open container
00:47:30isn't even a misdemeanor.
00:47:31The suspect
00:47:32is clearly drunk,
00:47:34acting hysterical,
00:47:36resisting arrest.
00:47:36Oh,
00:47:36please,
00:47:37please,
00:47:37just listen to me.
00:47:39I have a kid at home
00:47:40and I have to get back to him.
00:47:43Eleanor!
00:47:43Eleanor,
00:47:44you've been with me all day.
00:47:45Please,
00:47:45will you tell him
00:47:45that I have not been drinking?
00:47:47I'm sorry,
00:47:48do we know each other?
00:47:50Seriously?
00:47:51Look,
00:47:51please,
00:47:52please,
00:47:52just call Owen.
00:47:53Come with me, ma'am.
00:47:55What do you think you're doing?
00:47:58Mr. Carter.
00:48:00Wow.
00:48:00Is that you?
00:48:01Yes.
00:48:03This woman's my employee.
00:48:04Be that as it may, sir,
00:48:06she had an open bottle of whiskey
00:48:07in the car.
00:48:08And I told you
00:48:08that it's not mine.
00:48:09It's not mine.
00:48:10And she's been very combative.
00:48:12I have reason to believe
00:48:13she's drunk.
00:48:14She's been with me all day.
00:48:16She's been drinking,
00:48:17I'd know.
00:48:18And as for the bottle of whiskey
00:48:19in her car,
00:48:20it's not hers.
00:48:22Release her.
00:48:24Now,
00:48:25or I'll call your commander.
00:48:27Officer Jacobs,
00:48:28a good friend of mine.
00:48:29He'd love to hear
00:48:30the way you're abusing
00:48:30your power.
00:48:31Well,
00:48:32you can vouch for her.
00:48:35Come on.
00:48:40Receive me.
00:48:46She'll be calling you my fairy.
00:48:47Magic happens
00:48:48when we're together.
00:48:50Why didn't you come back?
00:48:52Thought Tom might need his tie.
00:48:55And I wanted to ask you a favor.
00:48:57After that?
00:48:58Yeah, sure.
00:48:59Anything.
00:49:00Be my date tonight.
00:49:04That sounds...
00:49:06Probably not a good look
00:49:07for a candidate
00:49:09to be dating a staffer.
00:49:10Well,
00:49:11it didn't mean romantically.
00:49:12It's a campaign event.
00:49:14Oh.
00:49:15We need to plan my speech
00:49:15for election night.
00:49:17And you've just been
00:49:18working so hard.
00:49:19I think you deserve
00:49:20a night off.
00:49:21Well, in that case,
00:49:23how can I say no?
00:49:27Senator Whitmore,
00:49:28thank you again for coming.
00:49:29It means the world.
00:49:31When you call,
00:49:31I always come.
00:49:33Oh,
00:49:34and here's the man of the hour.
00:49:40And who is that fine young lady
00:49:42has his arm around?
00:49:45Oh,
00:49:46that's just some little slut.
00:49:47You can have her if you like.
00:49:49Now,
00:49:49Mrs. Carter,
00:49:50I bristle at the very suggestion.
00:49:52I'm a man of great
00:49:53ethics and dignity.
00:49:56Senator Whitmore,
00:49:57didn't know you'd be here.
00:49:58It's an honor.
00:50:00I have wonderful news.
00:50:01Because I'm always looking out
00:50:03for my son,
00:50:04I have managed
00:50:04to convince the senator
00:50:06to be your political advisor
00:50:07for the rest of the campaign.
00:50:12But the election's tomorrow.
00:50:14Son,
00:50:14I can tell you
00:50:15from my experience,
00:50:16the only hours
00:50:16that matter to man's campaign
00:50:18are the last 24.
00:50:19So let's finish strong.
00:50:21I really appreciate the offer
00:50:23and I'm really grateful
00:50:24for your support,
00:50:25but I already have an advisor.
00:50:27I'd like you to meet
00:50:28Sarah Watson.
00:50:29It is my deep pleasure
00:50:32to meet you.
00:50:35Sarah's been
00:50:36absolutely integral
00:50:37with this campaign.
00:50:39My poll numbers
00:50:40just keep jumping up
00:50:41because of her.
00:50:42If I win tomorrow,
00:50:43it's going to be her fault,
00:50:44not mine.
00:50:46Well,
00:50:46if you all excuse me,
00:50:47I got to go give a speech.
00:50:49Oh,
00:50:49and didn't mean to
00:50:51refuse your wise counsel.
00:50:53He's just very loyal.
00:50:56You and Sarah
00:50:57can work together.
00:51:01I like the sound of that.
00:51:09Tomorrow's the big day
00:51:11and we couldn't have gotten here
00:51:12without all your hard work
00:51:13and dedication.
00:51:15So,
00:51:15to sum up the journey
00:51:16we've all been on together,
00:51:18my brilliant advisor,
00:51:21my fairy,
00:51:22Sarah,
00:51:23has prepared
00:51:24a little presentation for us.
00:51:29Don't worry,
00:51:31her world is about
00:51:32to completely fall apart.
00:51:51great advisor for swimsuits.
00:51:54I'd let her advise me
00:51:56on every position.
00:52:02Shut it down.
00:52:04Shut it down.
00:52:07I'm going to find
00:52:08who did this stupid prank.
00:52:10Until then,
00:52:11I want you all to know
00:52:12that that woman
00:52:12you just laughed at
00:52:13is the most talented,
00:52:15hardworking woman
00:52:15I've ever met.
00:52:16She's a single mom
00:52:17who works day in
00:52:18and day out
00:52:18for her son.
00:52:19Not for money,
00:52:20not for recognition,
00:52:21but for love.
00:52:23And beyond that,
00:52:23she's helped me recognize
00:52:24my purpose
00:52:26and that is to bring
00:52:27a better life
00:52:28to the people of this city.
00:52:32So,
00:52:32my advice to all of you
00:52:33is don't laugh at Sarah.
00:52:36Be
00:52:37Sarah.
00:52:43That bitch
00:52:44has nine lives.
00:52:48He's right,
00:52:49you know.
00:52:51You made it.
00:52:52Of course.
00:52:53I wouldn't miss her.
00:52:55And I've decided
00:52:56to be an influencer
00:52:57and being seen around
00:52:59Owen will rake
00:53:00in the followers.
00:53:01So,
00:53:01thank you.
00:53:03Excellent job.
00:53:04Really nice.
00:53:05Really nice.
00:53:05Wow.
00:53:06No one has
00:53:07ever stood up
00:53:09for me like that.
00:53:11He's incredible.
00:53:17The speech
00:53:19needed work.
00:53:21But the picture
00:53:23was perfect.
00:53:25Easy.
00:53:26No need to make a scene,
00:53:28young lady.
00:53:28We're only talking.
00:53:29Senator,
00:53:30I think
00:53:30you've had a little bit
00:53:31too much to drink,
00:53:32so let me go
00:53:33and get you some water.
00:53:34No, no.
00:53:35Don't walk away
00:53:35from the one man
00:53:36that can actually
00:53:37do something
00:53:37for your future.
00:53:39Excellent job.
00:53:39Really nice.
00:53:40In return,
00:53:40you can do
00:53:41a little something
00:53:42for me.
00:53:48You're gonna enjoy this.
00:53:52I see.
00:53:53A little quid pro quo, huh?
00:53:55Let's see if you can
00:53:56take it as well
00:53:56as you give it.
00:53:59Don't you dare touch her.
00:54:01Come on, Carter.
00:54:02What's the point
00:54:03of being a politician
00:54:04if you can't enjoy
00:54:04the power?
00:54:05Now step aside
00:54:07and let me enjoy.
00:54:09You apologize to her.
00:54:11I can't get the hell
00:54:11out of here.
00:54:12You're making the mistake
00:54:13of your life, kid.
00:54:15Do it now.
00:54:16I'm sorry.
00:54:17But you're a frigid bitch.
00:54:19I can't enjoy you.
00:54:25You just punched a senator.
00:54:27Are you okay?
00:54:28I won't be
00:54:28if you lose this campaign.
00:54:30The election is tomorrow.
00:54:33Okay.
00:54:34Okay.
00:54:35No one's around.
00:54:36Maybe nobody saw.
00:54:38We have to get out of here
00:54:39and pray he does not
00:54:41remember this in the morning.
00:54:45Can I see your hand?
00:54:53Now look,
00:54:53Senator's gonna be
00:54:54sleeping it off for a while.
00:54:57I'm just...
00:55:00You know,
00:55:01when we were
00:55:01escaping from the gym,
00:55:04it kind of reminded me
00:55:05of when we used to...
00:55:06Sneak out of the assemblies?
00:55:08Yeah.
00:55:09Yeah.
00:55:10Come right here
00:55:11to this room.
00:55:13We told my mom
00:55:13we had homework.
00:55:15Homework's
00:55:16the last thing we did.
00:55:18Yeah,
00:55:18the only thing
00:55:19I seem to remember
00:55:19studying was
00:55:21you.
00:55:23You.
00:55:23You.
00:55:24You.
00:55:24You.
00:55:25You.
00:55:26You.
00:55:28You.
00:55:36Hi, honey.
00:55:38How was your
00:55:39leadership conference?
00:55:40Okay, yeah, yeah.
00:55:41Aunt Daisy's gonna be
00:55:42with you tonight.
00:55:42I'm gonna be home
00:55:43late.
00:55:45So, yeah, yeah.
00:55:46We'll practice your speech
00:55:46in the morning.
00:55:47I love you.
00:55:49You're amazing.
00:55:50You know that?
00:55:52The way you raise
00:55:53such a sweet, successful kid
00:55:54hole on your own.
00:55:56Uh, we should probably
00:55:59wash this off
00:55:59before you bandage it.
00:56:01How about that?
00:56:02I haven't been able
00:56:03to get a plumber in here.
00:56:05The only running water
00:56:06I've got is in the tub.
00:56:10Uh, this one?
00:56:13Hey.
00:56:15Handy?
00:56:19Is it broken?
00:56:20Nah, the water
00:56:21just takes a second.
00:56:29Well, I'm all wet now.
00:56:30Well, you're all wet now, huh?
00:56:32Whatever.
00:56:32Okay, just come in here
00:56:34and I'll wash your hands.
00:56:35Wait.
00:56:36You're gonna get me all wet.
00:56:38I would never.
00:56:40Got my eye on you.
00:56:42Just get over here.
00:56:48Great movie.
00:56:49Mm-hmm.
00:57:00Oh, my God.
00:57:04You!
00:57:05You!
00:57:05You!
00:57:27What do you say, Gary?
00:57:45I never forgot your smell.
00:57:57The sound of your laugh.
00:58:08I never forgot you, Sarah.
00:58:19Don't move.
00:58:20You look perfect in this light.
00:58:25Good morning.
00:58:26Good morning.
00:58:33I missed you.
00:58:34I missed you, too.
00:58:37But...
00:58:38Oh, and this scares me.
00:58:40What, the campaign?
00:58:42My mom?
00:58:43Look, Sarah, we're gonna figure this out.
00:58:46No one can defeat us when we're together.
00:58:48I'm here to stay.
00:58:50I have to tell him.
00:58:52He's Tom's father, and I have to tell him right now.
00:58:57Owen, I've been keeping a secret from you.
00:59:01And when I tell you, I don't know if he'll ever be able to forgive me.
00:59:08There's nothing you could say that would change the way I feel about you.
00:59:15Tom...
00:59:18Is...
00:59:19Owen, are you in there?
00:59:21Oh, my God, that's your move.
00:59:22Um...
00:59:22I'll hide.
00:59:23No.
00:59:24We're together now.
00:59:25We have nothing to hide.
00:59:30I should have known.
00:59:31Mom, I'm a grown man.
00:59:32Yes, and I don't have time to deal with this, and...
00:59:37I am guessing this means you haven't had time to see the news yet.
00:59:47You assaulted the senator on the night before Election Day?
00:59:51The man is a state hero.
00:59:54Do you want to lose?
00:59:55He tried to assault Sarah.
00:59:57Oh, why am I not surprised?
00:59:59You've been bad luck to my son his whole life.
01:00:02None of this is Sarah's fault.
01:00:04She does nothing but cause damage.
01:00:06Who knows what other secrets she might have that could ruin your life?
01:00:09Sarah didn't cause any of this.
01:00:13Owen...
01:00:14Your mom's right.
01:00:18What are you talking about?
01:00:19You've only ever made my life better.
01:00:21Even when she cheated on you with Joe Callahan.
01:00:24Mom, that was years ago.
01:00:27I don't want to cause you any more trouble.
01:00:30You need to distance yourself from me.
01:00:33So...
01:00:34I'm resigning as your advisor.
01:00:37Sarah!
01:00:38Excellent!
01:00:39So we'll issue a denial, claim it's a fake video put out by your rivals.
01:00:44Liars are people who are afraid of the truth.
01:00:47That's not me.
01:00:48Owen, think of your political life!
01:00:51I don't want that life if I can't have my integrity.
01:00:54Where are you going?
01:00:56Do something I should have done a long time ago.
01:00:58Talk to Joe Callahan.
01:01:02You tell me, huh?
01:01:06Where the hell have you been?
01:01:08It's election day.
01:01:08I need to shut down a food bank and get to the polls.
01:01:15What the fuck, Carter?
01:01:16You here to beat me up like you did Senator Whitmore?
01:01:18He deserved it.
01:01:19Whatever the reason, that's the best thing that could have happened to me.
01:01:22You just handed me this election on a silver platter.
01:01:25He sexually assaulted Sarah Watson.
01:01:27You remember Sarah.
01:01:29You two hooked up in high school when she was still with me.
01:01:32So were you just here for revenge?
01:01:34By another casualty of your mental breakdown?
01:01:36Look, I want you to issue a joint statement with me against the Senator.
01:01:40Now write!
01:01:41No, I'm writing this into the Mayor's office.
01:01:44I mean, there are so many corporations in my pocket.
01:01:47And I'm cashing in.
01:01:49Do the right thing for once, General.
01:01:52Sarah's the mother of your child.
01:01:55What the fuck are you talking about, Carter?
01:01:56I never slept with Sarah.
01:01:59So Joe isn't Tom's father.
01:02:02You never slept with Sarah?
01:02:04No, Sarah came on to me that one time.
01:02:06Kissed me.
01:02:07You saw us.
01:02:09Then she disappeared.
01:02:10That's it.
01:02:15Where the fuck's my driver?
01:02:19Hey Tom! Daisy, where are y'all?
01:02:23Okay, hi, I'm not in the mood for jokes.
01:02:25Where are you guys?
01:02:26Tom!
01:02:26Daisy!
01:02:27You can't find your son.
01:02:29Miss Holden?
01:02:31Uh...
01:02:31Sorry, what are you doing here again?
01:02:34I received an anonymous tip that Tom was left alone last night.
01:02:38As his principal, I came over right away to check.
01:02:42And to see if I need to call CPS.
01:02:45Okay.
01:02:46There's been a huge misunderstanding.
01:02:48My friend stayed with Tom last night, so they're just probably out getting breakfast or something right now.
01:02:52Sarah!
01:02:53I'm so sorry.
01:02:54I got locked in the bathroom at the gala and then my phone died.
01:02:57I just...
01:02:57Are you saying you didn't make it here last night?
01:03:01No.
01:03:03Where is Tom?
01:03:06Tom?
01:03:07Tom, please!
01:03:08Please, where are you?
01:03:09Your babysitter never arrived to take care of your son and now he's missing?
01:03:14This is very serious.
01:03:15Miss Holden, if you care about Tom at all, I need you to help me look for him.
01:03:20I will help Tom by calling the police and having you arrested.
01:03:24What?
01:03:26Tom needs to be placed in a safe home.
01:03:28And between your bikini photos at the campaign headquarters and the video of you egging Owen
01:03:35Carter on to hit our senator, you belong in prison.
01:03:41I don't have time for this bullshit right now.
01:03:43I need to find my son.
01:03:51Oh my god.
01:03:52I was just at HQ and I overheard someone saying that they saw your son.
01:03:57He's down by the river with some older man.
01:04:02Mom?
01:04:03I'm fine.
01:04:07Hi.
01:04:08Oh my god.
01:04:09I was so worried.
01:04:10Hi.
01:04:13Where were you?
01:04:14When I woke up, you weren't here and neither was Daisy.
01:04:17So I went to the cafe to look for you and Owen found me.
01:04:22I've heard enough.
01:04:24Mr. Carter can't save you this time.
01:04:27Your child could have been killed while you were off doing god knows what.
01:04:31It wasn't her fault.
01:04:33Somebody locked me in the bathroom.
01:04:39You.
01:04:41You did this.
01:04:42You locked Daisy in that bathroom.
01:04:45Probably on Eleanor's orders.
01:04:47I'm willing to bet that you're also the one that made that call to Miss Holden.
01:04:52You know what?
01:04:53You mess with me.
01:04:55Fine.
01:04:56I can handle it.
01:04:58But you crossed a line trying to get my son taken away from me.
01:05:03I will kill you.
01:05:05I'm going to kill her.
01:05:06Hey.
01:05:06Hey.
01:05:06Hey.
01:05:07Hey.
01:05:07She's not worth it.
01:05:10Brittany, you can see yourself out now.
01:05:12Owen, I can explain.
01:05:14I was just trying to do this.
01:05:14You heard me.
01:05:14Owen, please.
01:05:15I...
01:05:15You're fired.
01:05:17I'll try everything I've done.
01:05:25I'll add assault to the list of things I need to report to the police and CPS.
01:05:30Poor Tom has no stable adult presence in his life.
01:05:35But I do.
01:05:37Owen Carter is my father.
01:05:41Owen Carter is your father.
01:05:43Of course.
01:05:44Isn't that right, Dad?
01:05:47Yes.
01:05:49He's my son.
01:05:53Can't you see we look alike?
01:05:55I've known you a long time, Mr. Carter.
01:05:58You've never mentioned any children.
01:06:01Well, we didn't want it to get out.
01:06:03We were young and unmarried and thought it might scare off the voters.
01:06:07But Tom is my son.
01:06:09If Tom has a stable parental figure in his life, then I don't have to call the authorities.
01:06:18I'm sorry.
01:06:19I really was only trying to help Tom.
01:06:28Now, does anyone have a charger?
01:06:31I need to upload my videos.
01:06:33Um, the public is waiting.
01:06:34Sure, Aunt Daisy.
01:06:44Thank you for saving us again.
01:06:49Well, it was all thanks to this little guy concocting that story that I'm his father.
01:06:53The resourcefulness of a true politician.
01:06:56How'd you come up with that brilliant story?
01:06:58I told you.
01:06:59It's in my blood.
01:07:03Should I tell Owen now that he's Tom's father?
01:07:12Owen.
01:07:15Meet your son.
01:07:18Tom.
01:07:19Tom.
01:07:21Owen Carter is your dad.
01:07:24For real.
01:07:27Tom.
01:07:29Tom's my son.
01:07:30You're my dad?
01:07:31No way.
01:07:33Way.
01:07:33Long way, but...
01:07:38Dad!
01:07:40I can't believe it.
01:07:43You know, it's strange.
01:07:44But I think I can believe it.
01:07:47You can't?
01:07:49Me.
01:07:52Yeah, I, uh...
01:07:54Talked to Joe.
01:07:55He said you two never...
01:07:56Yeah.
01:07:57You know.
01:07:59Um...
01:08:00Owen, listen, I'm really sorry.
01:08:03But I lied to you.
01:08:04I just...
01:08:06I thought this would ruin your career and your mom had promised me that it would.
01:08:12She forced me to break up with you.
01:08:16And she gave me money for an abortion.
01:08:19She what?
01:08:20I know.
01:08:20But it's not an excuse.
01:08:21I know that it's not an excuse.
01:08:22I am so sorry you had a right to all of those years with your son.
01:08:27Hey, people.
01:08:28Let bygones be bygones.
01:08:32So...
01:08:32Are you and mom...
01:08:35Boyfriend and girlfriend?
01:08:37I don't know.
01:08:40Are we?
01:08:45Why can't you just say yes?
01:08:48I lied to you.
01:08:50I don't know how to come back from that.
01:08:52I can fix this.
01:08:54Like a politician.
01:08:56Dad.
01:08:57Do you love mom?
01:09:00I do.
01:09:03I don't want to be with her.
01:09:05The future mayor has stated his position.
01:09:07Your rebuttal?
01:09:09My rebuttal.
01:09:19Is that?
01:09:20The ring you were gonna propose to me with in high school?
01:09:23You kept it?
01:09:24I hoped for so long that this moment would come.
01:09:30It has.
01:09:34Sarah Watson.
01:09:36Will you marry me?
01:09:41Yes.
01:09:42Owen, it's always been you.
01:09:47We're gonna be a family?
01:09:50I'm the mayor's son.
01:09:53Oh my God, the election.
01:09:56Joe's video.
01:09:57We never made a rebuttal.
01:09:57What do we do?
01:09:59The only thing we can do.
01:10:01Lose.
01:10:03No, no, no, no, no, no.
01:10:04You can still win this.
01:10:06Nah, the polls are open.
01:10:07Joe's gonna win.
01:10:08No, no.
01:10:08I will, I'll go, I will give an interview.
01:10:10I'll tell everybody what happened.
01:10:11You were just protecting me.
01:10:12Too little, too late.
01:10:14It's your word against the senators.
01:10:16But you said the truth always wins.
01:10:18Hey.
01:10:21And the truth did win today.
01:10:23The only truth that matters.
01:10:25That you're my son.
01:10:27We're gonna go to HQ with our heads held high.
01:10:30We're gonna say thank you to the volunteers and staffers.
01:10:33And we're gonna move right on to the next election.
01:10:37Because that's what we do.
01:10:39I'm sorry.
01:10:40Bye.
01:10:43You guys, my city girl is blowing up!
01:10:47I mean, I guess I did look good in that dress.
01:10:50Whoa.
01:10:51Did I miss something?
01:10:56Where the hell is Owen?
01:11:01How dare you walk in here with my son after you cost him the election?
01:11:05Mother, meet your grandson.
01:11:08My son, the one you tried to have aborted.
01:11:13You forced Sarah to hide him from me for all these years.
01:11:18Convinced her to break my heart.
01:11:20And then you tried to have him expelled? How could you?
01:11:23I did it for you.
01:11:25So you could go to a prestigious college and go to DC and live your dreams.
01:11:31Without me, you'd be a plumber right now.
01:11:34If it would give me back 10 years with my son, I would gladly be a plumber.
01:11:39Well, you might get your wish.
01:11:41Since you punched Senator Whitmore, you're certain to lose the race.
01:11:46That's what you care about?
01:11:49Just go. I can't even look at you.
01:11:52Owen?
01:11:53You know, Mother, I'm not gonna lose this race.
01:11:57Because I'm gonna withdraw from it.
01:11:59To focus on the important things.
01:12:12It doesn't make any sense. I've gotten a million views in just two hours.
01:12:17What?
01:12:17Yes.
01:12:18Let me see.
01:12:23Dear friends, I'm so grateful for all the hard work you've put into this campaign.
01:12:29But I regret to inform you that due to personal circumstances, I'm withdrawing my candidacy for mayor.
01:12:38No, no, no, no, no, no. He's not. He is not.
01:12:44Everyone, open the news. My video has gone viral.
01:12:50You need to watch Daisy's video right now.
01:12:53Dress is from agency.
01:12:56Okay, look right there.
01:12:58The lip liner is from Foxy.
01:13:01Make sure y'all click the link in my bio.
01:13:03Carter protected a woman. He's the mayor we need.
01:13:07People are starting to believe you.
01:13:09You're still in this race.
01:13:11Owen, it's not over yet.
01:13:16Mom! Dad, guess what?
01:13:18I won! I'm student council president!
01:13:20What?!
01:13:21That's amazing, buddy!
01:13:22Come here!
01:13:25You'll win too, Dad. I know it.
01:13:27Now.
01:13:31That'll be the results.
01:13:33I... I can't.
01:13:35Okay.
01:13:37Hello?
01:13:41Yeah.
01:13:43Yeah, I'll tell him.
01:13:49How bad is it?
01:13:51The landslide.
01:13:54Congratulations, Mayor Carter.
01:13:57What?!
01:13:57Yeah. You won?!
01:14:01My dad is mayor!
01:14:11It's all thanks to you.
01:14:15Congratulations, son.
01:14:17All I ever wanted was straight you to be happy.
01:14:21I went about it the wrong way.
01:14:24But I never...
01:14:25I never meant to hurt you.
01:14:28I'm so, so sorry.
01:14:31You are my life.
01:14:34I...
01:14:37Please...
01:14:38Forgive me.
01:14:43Hey.
01:14:46You don't owe my mother anything.
01:14:48You don't owe my mother anything.
01:14:49No.
01:14:51But...
01:14:52You'll find this out soon enough.
01:14:56When you become a parent,
01:14:58your entire world becomes about that child.
01:15:02And I know what it's like to not see straight,
01:15:05trying to protect them.
01:15:08And you're gonna make plenty of mistakes, too.
01:15:10Trust me.
01:15:12You should forgive her.
01:15:29Now, who wants a victory photo?
01:15:33Okay.
01:15:35One, two, three.
01:15:40You're gonna make a great cover story.
01:15:44Oh, I am so sorry.
01:15:46We're renovating right now.
01:15:47We?
01:15:48You may not get a say in the design.
01:15:50You have much more important things to worry about, Mr. Mayor.
01:15:54Mm-hmm.
01:15:57Congratulations, the Mary left.
01:15:59One small question that interests our readers.
01:16:03Is it hard for you to work together, live together, and raise a child together?
01:16:09Well, we have one rule at home.
01:16:11Whatever the argument, no matter who says what,
01:16:14the truth always wins in the end.
01:16:16And who decides what the truth is?
01:16:19Me.
01:16:29You are really confident the truth.
01:16:32You know?
01:16:34Well, you do experi-
01:16:34You know you,
