00:00:02Soon each of us will go our separate ways, to different cities, different colleges, but the important thing isn't so
00:00:09much 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, now's our turn.
00:00:35To 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.
00:00:51I'll use protection.
00:00:54Sarah, listen to me.
00:00:55I've let this little fling go on because I assumed you were just some high school amusement.
00:01:01Oh, and can't have some trashy low-class girl on his arm if he wants to succeed.
00:01:06What have you got there?
00:01:08Give it to me.
00:01:11Give it to me!
00:01:19You're pregnant.
00:01:21This is between me and Owen.
00:01:24You stupid girl!
00:01:26Owen has a future in D.C. and Congress.
00:01:29People say he could become President of the United States.
00:01:34If people find out he had a child out of wedlock in high school, his career is over before it
00:01:41begins.
00:01:42Is 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.
00:02:13The 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.
00:02:31You will end this pregnancy and never speak to him again.
00:02:36You know I'd do anything for you.
00:02:40Thanks, Mom.
00:02:45I have to do this for Owen's future.
00:02:48Sarah!
00:02:50Sarah, I've got great new-
00:02:52Sarah!
00:02:54What are you doing?
00:02:56Exactly what I told her to.
00:02:59Owen.
00:03:01I'm so sorry.
00:03:02I-
00:03:03Big man.
00:03:05She came onto me, so-
00:03:06You son of a bitch!
00:03:08Look at the Ivy Leagues in Congress.
00:03:10Don't ruin your future over some high school girlfriend.
00:03:14You better get out of here right now.
00:03:15I don't care, I'll break your face.
00:03:21I thought you loved me.
00:03:23We had a future.
00:03:27I don't love you.
00:03:30We don't have a future.
00:03:32We never did.
00:03:36You need to move on with your life.
00:03:41I was gonna propose to you.
00:03:45God, I'm such an idiot.
00:03:49Good job.
00:04:04The campaign officially starts tomorrow.
00:04:06Be ready.
00:04:11What the fuck?
00:04:12My coffee isn't even hot.
00:04:14If I wanted 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.
00:04:25Tony!
00:04:28Straighten out your employees, please.
00:04:31Otherwise, we won't be filming your tomorrow.
00:04:33Filming?
00:04:34Filming what?
00:04:36I'm sorry about that, Brittany.
00:04:37I'll straighten her out.
00:04:38You.
00:04:40You're lucky your ass is so nice, otherwise I'd fire it a long time ago.
00:04:43Now go clean the toilets.
00:04:45And 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.
00:05:06Do you want to run your speech before you head out?
00:05:08I'm good, Mom.
00:05:09Of course you're good.
00:05:10You're the best.
00:05:11Local women, get ready.
00:05:13Mom, turn up the TV.
00:05:15Owen Carter, who left 10 years ago for Washington, D.C., has returned to his hometown to run for mayor.
00:05:21From 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.
00:05:31Owen Carter?
00:05:31Wow, no way.
00:05:35Mom?
00:05:36Mom, what's wrong?
00:05:38Are you okay?
00:05:40Do you know Owen Carter?
00:05:42No. No.
00:05:44He 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.
00:05:55Um, as in he wears the same jeans and pants.
00:05:59As 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 already lost the debate.
00:06:07Uh-huh.
00:06:08Goodbye, Mom.
00:06:08I love you.
00:06:10Bye.
00:06:12I'm sorry.
00:06:14It slipped out.
00:06:15But you know you're going to have to tell him.
00:06:17Right?
00:06:18You don't know Owen's mom.
00:06:20You 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.
00:06:30About that.
00:06:31I just got a push.
00:06:33He's supposed to be filming some PR thing for his campaign tomorrow.

00:06:43So, he comes in.
00:06:44You shake hands.
00:06:45Talk about small business.
00:06:47The value of hard work.
00:06:48Blah, blah, blah.
00:06:48That's Owen's PR director.
00:06:50He cannot find out I had his son.
00:06:53I have to avoid him.
00:06:54Showtime.
00:06:55Don't fuck this up, you guys.
00:06:56Yeah.

00:28:52with the you have to tell him
00:28:55eleanor threatened to expel him from school
00:28:59she's gonna ruin him before he even has a chance to start
00:29:02to be honest
00:29:03he's gonna give it all up himself
00:29:05because you're keeping this secret
00:29:07you're not 18 anymore

00:29:13it's not just about me
00:29:16it's owen
00:29:17if people find out that he had a kid out of wedlock in high school
00:29:22i mean he could lose this election his career could be over
00:29:25okay sarah this is not the 1970s
00:29:29so what if he had a kid out of wedlock
00:29:31plenty of elected officials have done way worse
00:29:35tom and owen both deserve to know the truth
00:29:40you're right
00:29:40i'm sorry
00:29:48one criticism is that you're all style and no substance
00:29:52that you offer no real solutions to the issues
00:29:55well take small business for example
00:29:57i proposed we raise workers wages
00:30:01which places a financial burden on small businesses right
00:30:04how can anyone benefit if they can't afford to keep their business running
00:30:08yes um
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

00:36:19and ruin tom's life
00:36:24fine
00:36:27you win
00:36:29i won't say anything to owen
00:36:31or to tom
00:36:32but you have to get this little incident
00:36:35erased off of tom's record
00:36:37oh i can't do that
00:36:39but i can have him reinstated
00:36:43in the student council election
00:36:45on the condition that
00:36:47you get out of our lives
00:36:49the moment this campaign ends

00:37:29i can relate
00:37:32i once locked myself in that same stall after a bad day
00:37:35long time ago
00:37:41why would someone lie about me destroying the computer lab
00:37:44i didn't even do anything
00:37:46yeah you know in politics you learn a lot about lies
00:37:50liars are weak
00:37:51and they're afraid of the truth
00:37:53you just might have been the truth for someone
00:37:56who are you running against
00:37:57jayden green
00:37:58but i don't think it's him
00:38:00yesterday
00:38:01our class pet
00:38:02your will the gerbil
00:38:03bit him
00:38:04he was crying for two hours
00:38:10how does joe callahan
00:38:11have such an amazing son
00:38:13and he's not even around
00:38:16well jayden might not be the criminal mastermind but
00:38:20you know what else i've learned
00:38:23the truth always wins in the end
00:38:26keep the face
00:38:44you always stick your tongue out like that when you're concentrating
00:38:48i guess
00:38:50i do the same thing
00:38:53he couldn't be mine
00:38:54could he
00:38:57tom i heard about the computer lab
00:38:59i'm so sorry
00:39:00are you okay
00:39:01where are you
00:39:03oh
00:39:06holden hi
00:39:07what are you doing here
00:39:08following up on your son's vandalism
00:39:11i don't know if you understand how much damage was done
00:39:15it looks even worse than
00:39:17your house
00:39:19oh
00:39:19oh
00:39:19um
00:39:20sorry i just
00:39:22i started a new job
00:39:23and i haven't really had time to call it
00:39:24i admit i was surprised to learn tom was behind it
00:39:27he's a model student
00:39:29but now he understands children often act out when they are neglected
00:39:36neglected
00:39:38i would never neglect tom and he didn't act out he was frank
00:39:43oh well if you know the perpetrator i'd love to know
00:39:47she'll never believe eleanor did it not 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 the evidence says the evidence says otherwise and uh as the parent it is your responsibility to
00:40:04pay for the damages
00:40:07twenty thousand dollars
00:40:09twenty thousand dollars
00:40:10well i don't have that kind of money
00:40:12miss watson
00:40:14your son smashed 15 laptops and broke three windows
00:40:19the only reason he did not get expelled
00:40:22is because eleanor carter spoke on his behalf

00:43:48it's been a long time for me too fairy
00:44:02goodnight
00:44:18hey
00:44:19what magic you're working today fairy
00:44:21we are going to explain your stance on small businesses
00:44:24ah yes the stance i haven't been able to articulate
00:44:27i know but you will
00:44:28for right now though
00:44:29we're gonna film a video here
00:44:30my friend daisy works here
00:44:32all you have to do is go in and ask her about her salary
00:44:34that's it she'll answer it'll be
00:44:36gold
00:44:37okay
00:44:38trust you
00:44:42something's missing
00:44:43um
00:44:46i always carry a spare for tom just in case
00:44:48it might be a little swell on you
00:44:49but we are gonna make it work
00:45:07where do you want me
00:45:09um inside
00:45:10we should all probably go inside and you can finish that
00:45:16daisy
00:45:16if your boss raised your wages
00:45:18you think you'd work faster
00:45:21honestly
00:45:21honestly no
00:45:22you stupid girl this is a disaster
00:45:25you are ruining him
00:45:29if you were paid more
00:45:30it wouldn't motivate you to work faster
00:45:32i mean i already work as fast as i can
00:45:35so if you were paid more it
00:45:37wouldn't increase profits here
00:45:38i didn't say that
00:45:39i would definitely make money for this place
00:45:41okay so tell me about that
00:45:43if you worked the same amount
00:45:45if i got paid what i was worth
00:45:47then i would feel like my employers valued me
00:45:50and i would smell more
