00:13:27he's just
00:13:28he's one of those people
00:13:30where he doesn't realize
00:13:31that society isn't measured
00:13:32by the people who lead it
00:13:33but by the people it refuses to leave behind
00:13:39what was that thing you just said?
00:13:43uh
00:13:44what?
00:13:46society isn't measured by
00:13:47who leads it but
00:13:49by who it refuses to leave behind
00:13:52so

00:14:29truth is
00:14:31I'm starting to feel like an imposter
00:14:34it's only a matter of time
00:14:35before everybody's gonna start seeing it
00:14:36oh 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
00:14:43that doesn't matter
00:14:45I 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 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

00:15:08just 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
00:15:28being Owen's advisor is the perfect job for you
00:15:31then 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

00:15:41one his evil mom
00:15:42she's vicious
00:15:43she's connected
00:15:44and she thinks I aborted her grandson
00:15:50is that Owen?
00:15:53I like the new look
00:15:54one of my guiding principles is that a society is not measured by who leads it
00:15:58but by who it refuses to leave behind
00:16:00don't tell me
00:16:01huh
00:16:02you wrote that
00:16:04Joe Callahan your response
00:16:06like my opponent's sweatshirt
00:16:08Owen Carter's not a serious candidate
00:16:10no he's a pretty boy poser
00:16:12who left his hometown to become a
00:16:13out of touch Washington inside
00:16:15I still can't believe he's running against that ass Joe Callahan
00:16:19I mean he's kinda right though
00:16:21Owen needs a miracle
00:16:23I know how to make him a miracle
00:16:25okay
00:16:27but his mom I can't
00:16:28what will she do?

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
00:17:58so I can serve the hard-working people here

00:23:40Sarah and i can do great things together
00:23:43even a blind squirrel
00:23:45finds a nut once in a while
00:23:47well i'm doubling that squirrel's offer
00:23:49that's my decision
00:23:50it's not changing
00:23:51alright
00:23:53if that's your decision as your campaign manager
00:23:56i will close the deal with her

00:24:12see Eleanor i told you
00:24:13i'm not trying to hurt Owen i'm trying to help him
00:24:16i am sure we can work together
00:24:18now Owen has a call scheduled
00:24:21with the governor
00:24:22we should let him take that
00:24:31you saw the polls

00:24:46imagine getting knocked up by both candidates
00:24:51listen up you two bits skank
00:24:54here's how it's going to be
00:24:56we both know that you are dangerous to Owen's career

00:29:40you're right
00:29:41i'm sorry
00:29:42i'm sorry
00:29:45i'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
00:30:00which places a financial burden on small businesses right
00:30:04how can anyone benefit if they can't afford to keep the business running
00:30:08yes
00:30:09um
00:30:13you'll have to excuse me i'm
00:30:15having 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

00:30:54talk
00:30:55strategy
00:30:56maybe later
00:30:57go after him and make sure that white trash parasite stays away
00:31:02what is your problem

00:33:38that'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
00:33:47when i offered him a glass of water
00:33:49giving me plenty of dna to work with
00:33:53you have
00:33:53you have no right to approach my son
00:33:55you had that child

00:34:06i will allow you to continue working for owen
00:34:09as long as you never tell him that tom is his son or anyone else
00:34:16or what
00:34:16this time
00:34:17tom is an a plus student
00:34:20nobody's gonna expel him because of one of your wins
00:34:24not this time
00:34:26especially not when they all find out that he is the child of our next mayor
00:34:31sweetheart
00:34:33you underestimate me
00:34:34tom 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
00:34:46i would um answer that if i were you
00:34:52uh miss holden hi
00:34:54is everything okay what's wrong did something happen to tom?
00:34:58not to tom by tom
00:35:00he vandalized the school's computer lab
00:35:02wait sir what?
00:35:04that no that doesn't sound like tom
00:35:06he 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?
00:35:16i'm sorry to tell you
00:35:18tom is suspended from school and thus disqualified for the student council elections
00:35:25no no no no miss holden please
00:35:27look this is just this is a terrible mistake
00:35:31tom loves this school he loves it he 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
00:36:02what kind of person frames their own grandchild
00:36:07a woman
00:36:09who 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
00:36:25fine
00:36:27you win
00:36:29i won't say anything to owen or to tom
00:36:32but you have to get this little incident erased off of tom's record
00:36:36oh
00:36:37i can't do that
00:36:39but i can have him reinstated in the student council election
00:36:44on the condition that
00:36:46you get out of our lives the moment this campaign ends
00:36:53hi
00:36:59yes it's a lot of nuance it's hard to explain a few short soundbikes but it

00:37:41why would someone lie about me destroying the computer lab i didn't even do anything
00:37:45yeah you know in politics you learn a lot about lies
00:37:49liars are weak
00:37:51and they're afraid of the truth
00:37:52you just might have been the truth for someone
00:37:55who you running against
00:37:57jayden green
00:37:58but i don't think it's him
00:38:00yesterday our class pet your will the gerbil
00:38:03bit him
00:38:04he was crying for two hours
00:38:09how does joe callahan have such an amazing son
00:38:13and he's not even around
00:38:16well jayden might not be the criminal mastermind but
00:38:19you know what else i've learned
00:38:22the truth always wins in the end
00:38:25keep the faith
00:38:43you always stick your tongue out like that when you're concentrating
00:38:48i guess
00:38:49i do the same thing
00:38:52he couldn't be mine
00:38:53could he
00:38:56tom i heard about the computer lab
00:38:59i'm so sorry are you okay where are you
00:39:03well
00:39:05miss holden hi what 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
00:39:18here
00:39:19oh oh um
00:39:21sorry i just i 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
00:39:40tom and he didn't act out he was frank
00:39:42oh 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
00:39:59as the parent
00:40:01it is your responsibility
00:40:03to pay for the damages
00:40:07twenty thousand dollars
00:40:10well i don't have that kind of money
00:40:12miss watson
00:40:13your son smashed fifteen laptops and broke three windows
00:40:18the only reason he did not get expelled
00:40:21is because eleanor carter spoke on his behalf
00:40:25she's the one who did this in the first place
00:40:27and if i leave your house today without a check
00:40:31even she can't help him

00:51:21my brilliant advisor
00:51:24my fairy
00:51:24sarah
00:51:25has prepared a little presentation for us
00:51:32don't worry
00:51:33our world is about to completely fall apart
00:51:36the fizzards
00:51:44wow
00:51:53great 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 going to find who did this stupid prank.
00:52:12Until then, I 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 who works day in and day out for her son.
00:52:22Not for money, not for recognition, but for love.
00:52:25And beyond that, she's helped me recognize my purpose.
00:52:29And that is to bring a better life to the people of this city.
00:52:35So my advice to all of you is 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.
00:52:57I wouldn't miss her.
00:52:58And I've decided to be an influencer
00:53:00and being seen around Owen will rake in the followers.
00:53:04So thank you.
00:53:06Excellent job, really 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 needed work.
00:53:23But the picture was perfect.
00:53:28Easy.
00:53:29No need to make a scene, young lady.
00:53:31We're only talking.
00:53:32Senator, I think you've had a little bit too 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 for your future.
00:53:41Excellent job.
00:53:42In return, you can do a little something for me.
00:53:51You'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 as 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 in you?
00:54:08Now step aside and 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 of your life, kid.
00:54:17Do 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.
00:54:29Are you okay?
00:54:30I won't be if 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 this in the morning.
00:54:48Can I see your hand?
00:54:49I don't know if you're a man.
00:54:52Ooh.
00:54:56My logo at center is going to be sleeping it off for a while.
00:55:01I'm just...
00:55:03You know, when we were escaping from the gym,
00:55:06it kind of reminded me of when we used to...
00:55:09Sneak out of the assembly.
00:55:11Yeah.
00:55:12Come right here to this room.
00:55:15We told my mom we had homework.
00:55:18Homework's the last thing we did.
00:55:21Yeah.
00:55:21The only thing I seem to remember studying 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 with you tonight.
00:55:45I'm going to be home late.
00:55:48So, yeah, yeah.
00:55:49We'll practice your speech in the morning.
00:55:50I love you.
00:55:52You're amazing, you know that?
00:55:55The way you raise such a sweet, successful kid all on your own.
00:55:59Uh, we should probably wash this off before you bandage it.
00:56:03About that.
00:56:05I haven't been able to get a plumber in here.
00:56:08The only running water I'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 just takes a second.
00:56:31Well, I'm all wet now.
00:56:33You're all wet now, huh?
00:56:35Whatever.
00:56:35Okay, just come in here and I'll wash your hands.
00:56:38Wait.
00:56:39You're going to get me all wet.
00:56:40I would never.
00:56:43Got my eye on you.
00:56:44Just get over here.
00:56:51Great.
00:56:52Mm-hmm.
00:57:06You!
00:57:07I don't know.
00:57:09I don't know.
00:57:30What do you say, Gary?
00:57:48I never forgot your smell, the sound of your laugh, I never forgot you, Sarah.
00:58:22Don't move, you look perfect in this light.
00:58:27Good morning, good morning, I missed you, I missed you too, but oh and this scares me.
00:58:43What?
00:58:43The campaign?
00:58:44My mom?
00:58:46Look Sarah, we're gonna figure this out, no one can defeat us when we're together.
00:58:51I'm here to stay.
00:58:53I have to tell him, he's Tom's father and I have to tell him right now.
00:59:00Owen, I've been keeping a secret from you and when I tell you I don't know if you'll
00:59:07ever be able to forgive me.
00:59:11There's nothing you could say that would change the way I feel about you.
00:59:21Tom is...
00:59:21Owen, are you in there?
00:59:24Oh my God, that's your mom.
00:59:25Um, I'll hide.
00:59:26No.
00:59:27We're together now.
00:59:28We have nothing to hide.
00:59:32I should have known.
00:59:34Mom, I'm a grown man.
00:59:35Yes, and I don't have time to deal with this and I am guessing this means you haven't
00:59:42had time to see the news yet.
00:59:49You assaulted the Senator on the night before election day?
00:59:54The man is a state hero.
00:59:57Do you want to lose?
00:59:58He tried to assault Sarah.
01:00:00Oh, why am I not surprised?
01:00:02You've been bad luck to my son his whole life.
01:00:05None of this is Sarah's fault.
01:00:06She 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.
01:00:15Owen, your mom's right.
01:00:21What are you talking about?
01:00:22You've only ever made my life better.
01:00:24Even when she cheated on you with Joe Callahan.
01:00:27Mom, that was years ago.
01:00:30I don't want to cause you any more trouble.
01:00:33You need to distance yourself from me.
01:00:35So, I'm resigning as your advisor.
01:00:40Sarah.
01:00:41Excellent.
01:00:42So we'll issue a denial, claim it's a fake video put out by your rivals.
01:00:47Liars are people who are afraid of the truth.
01:00:50That's not me.
01:00:51Owen, think of your political life.
01:00:54I don't want that life if I can't have my integrity.
01:00:57Where 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 the food bank and get to the polls.
01:01:17What the fuck, Carter?
01:01:19You're here to beat me up like you did Senator Whitmore?
01:01:21He deserved it.
01:01:22Whatever the reason, that's the best thing that could have happened to me.
01:01:25You just handed me this election on a silver platter.
01:01:28He sexually assaulted Sarah Watson.
01:01:30You remember Sarah.
01:01:32You two hooked up in high school when she was still with me.
01:01:34So you're just here for revenge?
01:01:37By another casualty of your mental breakdown?
01:01:39Look, I want you to issue a joint statement with me against the Senator.
01:01:42All right.
01:01:44No, I'm writing this into the mayor's office.
01:01:47I mean, there are so many corporations in my pocket.
01:01:50And I'm cashing in.
01:01:52Do the right thing for once, Joe.
01:01:55Sarah's the mother of your child.
01:01:57What the fuck are you talking about, Carter?
01:01:59I never slept with Sarah.
01:02:01So Joe isn't Tom's father.
01:02:05You never slept with Sarah?
01:02:06No.
01:02:07Sarah came on to me that one time.
01:02:09Kissed me.
01:02:10You saw us.
01:02:11Then she disappeared.
01:02:13That's it.
01:02:18Where the fuck's my driver?
01:02:22Hey, Tom.
01:02:23Daisy, where are y'all?
01:02:26Okay, ha.
01:02:27I'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?
01:02:34Uh...
01:02:34Sorry, 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.
01:02:51My friends 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?
01:03:16This is very serious.
01:03:18Miss Holden, if you care about Tom at all,
01:03:21I need you to help me look for him.
01:03:23I will help Tom by calling the police and having you arrested.
01:03:28What?
01:03:29Tom needs to be placed in a safe home.
01:03:31And between your bikini photos at the campaign headquarters
01:03:35and the video of you egging Owen Carter on to hit our senator,
01:03:41you belong in prison.
01:03:44I don't have time for this bullshit right now.
01:03:46I need to find my son.
01:03:54Oh, my God.
01:03:55I was just at HQ, and I overheard someone saying
01:03:58that they saw your son.
01:04:00He's down by the river with some older man.
01:04:05Mom?
01:04:06I'm fine.
01:04:10Hi.
01:04:11Oh, my God.
01:04:12I was so worried.
01:04:13I...
01:04:15Where were you?
01:04:16When I woke up, you weren't here, and neither was Daisy.
01:04:20So I went to the cafe to look for you, and Owen found me.
01:04:24I've heard enough.
01:04:27Mr. Carter can't save you this time.
01:04:29Your child could have been killed while 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.
01:04:43You did this.
01:04:45You locked Daisy in that bathroom.
01:04:47Probably on Eleanor's orders.
01:04:49I'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.
01:04:58Fine.
01:04:59I can handle it.
01:05:01But you crossed a line trying to get my son taken away from me.
01:05:06I will kill you!
01:05:07I'm gonna kill her!
01:05:09Hey, hey, hey!
01:05:09Hey!
01:05:10She's not worth it.
01:05:13Brittany, you can see yourself out now.
01:05:15Owen, I can explain.
01:05:17You heard me.
01:05:17Owen, please, I...
01:05:18You're fired.
01:05:20After everything I've done...
01:05:27I'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.
01:06:04Well, we didn't want it to get out.
01:06:06We were young and unmarried and thought it might scare off the voters.
01:06:10But Tom is my son.
01:06:11If Tom has a stable parental figure in his life, then I don't have to call the authorities.
01:06:21I'm sorry.
01:06:22I really was only trying to help Tom.
01:06:31Now, does anyone have a charger?
01:06:34I need to upload my videos.
01:06:36Um, the public is waiting.
01:06:37Sure, Aunt Daisy.
01:06:46Thank you for saving us again.
01:06:51Well, it was all thanks to this little guy concocting that story that I'm his father.
01:06:56The resourcefulness of a true politician.
01:06:59How'd you come up with that brilliant story?
01:07:01I told you, it's in my blood.
01:07:05Should I tell Owen now that he's Tom's father?
01:07:15Owen.
01:07:18Meet your son.
01:07:20Tom.
01:07:22Tom.
01:07:24Owen Carter is your dad.
01:07:27For real.
01:07:30Tom.
01:07:31Tom's my son.
01:07:33You're my dad?
01:07:34No way.
01:07:36Way.
01:07:36Long way, but...
01:07:41Dad!
01:07:42I can't believe it.
01:07:45You know, it's strange.
01:07:47But I think I can believe it.
01:07:49You can't?
01:07:52Yeah.
01:07:55Yeah, I, uh, talked to Joe.
01:07:58He said you two never...
01:07:59Yeah.
01:08:00You know.
01:08:02Um...
01:08:03Owen, listen.
01:08:03I'm really sorry that I lied to you.
01:08:07I just...
01:08:09I thought this would ruin your career, and your mom had promised me that it would.
01:08:15She forced me to break up with you.
01:08:19And she gave me money for an abortion.
01:08:21She what?
01:08:22I know, but it's not an excuse.
01:08:24I know that it's not an excuse.
01:08:25I am so sorry you had a right to all of those years with your son.
01:08:29Hey, people.
01:08:31Let bygones be bygones.
01:08:35So, are you and mom boyfriend and girlfriend?
01:08:40Well, I don't know.
01:08:43Are we?
01:08:48Why can't you just say yes?
01:08:51I lied to you.
01:08:53I don't know how to come back from that.
01:08:55I can fix this.
01:08:57Like a politician.
01:08:59Dad, do you love mom?
01:09:03I do.
01:09:06I don't want to be with her.
01:09:07The future mayor has stated his position.
01:09:09Your rebuttal?
01:09:12My rebuttal.
01:09:22Is that...
01:09:23The ring you were going to propose to me with in high school?
01:09:26You kept it.
01:09:27I had hoped for so long that this moment would come.
01:09:32And it has.
01:09:37Sarah Watson.
01:09:39Will you marry me?
01:09:43Yes.
01:09:45Owen, it's always been you.
01:09:49We're going to be a family?
01:09:53I'm the mayor's son.
01:09:55I'm the mayor's son.
01:09:56Oh my God, the election.
01:09:59Joe's video.
01:09:59We never made a rebuttal.
01:10:00What do we do?
01:10:02The only thing we can do.
01:10:04Lose.
01:10:06No, no, no, no, no, no.
01:10:07You can still win this.
01:10:08Nah, the polls are open.
01:10:10Joe's going to 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.
01:10:26The only truth that matters.
01:10:28That you're my son.
01:10:30We're going to go to HQ with our heads held high.
01:10:32We're going to say thank you to the volunteers and staffers.
01:10:36And we're going to move right on to the next election.
01:10:39Because that's what we do.
01:10:42I'm sorry.
01:10:43Bye.
01:10:46You guys, my video is blowing up.
01:10:49I mean, I guess I did look good in that dress.
01:10:53Whoa.
01:10:54Did I miss something?
01:10:59Where the hell is Owen?
01:11:03How dare you walk in here with my son after you cost him the election?
01:11:08Mother, meet your grandson.
01:11:11My son, the one you tried to have aborted.
01:11:16You forced Sarah to hide him from me for all these years.
01:11:21Convinced her to break my heart.
01:11:23And then you tried to have him expelled?
01:11:25How could you?
01:11:26I did it for you.
01:11:27So you could go to a prestigious college and go to DC and live your dreams.
01:11:33Without me, you'd be a plumber right now.
01:11:37If it would give me back ten years with my son, I would gladly be a plumber.
01:11:42Well, you might get your wish.
01:11:44Since you punched Senator Whitmore, you're certain to lose the race.
01:11:49That's what you care about?
01:11:50That's what you care about?
01:11:52Just go. I can't even look at you.
01:11:55Owen?
01:11:56You know, mother, I'm not going to lose this race because I'm going to withdraw from it to focus on
01:12:02the important things.
01:12:15It doesn't make any sense. I've gotten a million views in just two hours.
01:12:19What?
01:12:20Yes.
01:12:20Let me see.
01:12:25Dear friends, I'm so grateful for all the hard work you've put into this campaign.
01:12:31But I regret to inform you that due to personal circumstances, I'm withdrawing my candidacy for mayor.
01:12:40No, no, no, no. He's not. He is not.
01:12:47Everyone, open the news. My video has gone viral.
01:12:53You need to watch Daisy's video right now.
01:12:56Dress is from agency.
01:12:59Okay, look right there.
01:13:00Zoom in.
01:13:01The lip liner is from Foxy. Make sure y'all click the link in my bio.
01:13:06Carter protected a woman. He's the mayor we need.
01:13:10People are starting to believe you.
01:13:11You're still in this race.
01:13:14Owen, it's not over yet.
01:13:19Mom!
01:13:19Dad, guess what? I won! I'm student council president!
01:13:23What?!
01:13:24That's amazing, buddy!
01:13:25Come here!
01:13:27You'll win too, Dad. I know it.
01:13:30Just now.
01:13:34That'll be the results.
01:13:36I... I can't.
01:13:38Okay.
01:13:39Hello?
01:13:44Yeah.
01:13:45Yeah, I'll tell him.
01:13:52How bad is it?
01:13:54The landslide.
01:13:56Congratulations, Mayor Carter.
01:13:59What?!
01:14:00Yeah.
01:14:00You won?!
01:14:04My dad is mayor!
01:14:14It's all thanks to you.
01:14:17Congratulations, son.
01:14:20All I ever wanted was to treat you to be happy.
01:14:24I went about it the wrong way.
01:14:26But I never...
01:14:28I never meant to hurt you.
01:14:31I'm so...
01:14:32so sorry.
01:14:33You are my life.
01:14:40Please...
01:14:41forgive me.
01:14:45Hey.
01:14:49You don't owe my mother anything.
01:14:51You don't owe my mother anything.
01:14:52No.
01:14:54But...
01:14:55you'll find this out soon enough.
01:14:58When you become a parent,
01:15:01your entire world becomes about that child.
01:15:05And I know what it's like to not see straight,
01:15:08trying to protect them.
01:15:11And you're gonna make plenty of mistakes, too.
01:15:13Trust me.
01:15:15You should forgive her.
01:15:32Now, who wants a victory photo?
01:15:36Okay.
01:15:38One, two, three.
01:15:43You're gonna make a great cover story.
01:15:47Oh, I am so sorry.
01:15:48We're renovating right now.
01:15:50We?
01:15:50You may not get a say in the design.
01:15:53You have much more important things to worry about,
01:15:56Mr. Mayor.
01:15:57Mm-hmm.
01:16:00Congratulations, the Mary left.
01:16:02One small question that interests our readers.
01:16:06Is it hard for you to work together,
01:16:09live together, and raise a child together?
01:16:12Well, we have one rule at home.
01:16:14Whatever the argument, no matter who says what,
01:16:16the truth always wins in the end.
01:16:18And who decides what the truth is?
01:16:21Me.
01:16:22Ha-ha, ha ha.
01:16:23Ha-ha.
01:16:24Ha ha.
01:16:25Come and see you again next week,
01:16:37ha ha.
01:16:37You
