Short filmTranscript
00:00:02Soon each of us will go our separate ways, to different cities, different colleges.
00:00:08But the important thing isn't so much where we're going, but what we take with us.
00:00:14Let's show the world that studying at Montclair isn't just a privilege, it's a responsibility.
00:00:21My boyfriend is the hottest and smartest guy in school, and I cannot believe he chose me.
00:00:26And just as bees spread pollen from one flower to another, allowing an entire field to bloom,
00:00:33now's our turn to spread what we've learned at Montclair everywhere we go.
00:00:40I love you, fairy.
00:00:46I feel like I'm getting sick.
00:00:49No, no, no, no. But we use protection.
00:00:54Sarah, 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.
00:01:06What 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.
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?
00:01:48If 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.
00:02:31We 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 hunting me, so...
00:03:07You 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.
00:03:24Future!
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 a temperature slop, I would've 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 here tomorrow.
00:04:33Filming?
00:04:34Filming what?
00:04:35Filming what?
00:04:35I'm sorry about that, Brittany.
00:04:37I'll straighten her out.
00:04:39You.
00:04:40You'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.
00:04:45And that coffee's coming out of your tips.
00:04:53Why don't you quit?
00:04:55Unlike 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.
00:05:06Uh, do you want to run your speech before you head out?
00:05:08Nah, I'm good, Mom.
00:05:09Of course you're good. You'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.,
00:05:18has returned to his hometown to run for mayor.
00:05:21From young, handsome billionaire to mayor of one of the East Coast 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?
00:05:32Wow, 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, he 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 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 already lost the debate.
00:06:07Uh-huh.
00:06:08Goodbye, Mom. I love you.
00:06:10Bye.
00:06:10Bye.
00:06:12I'm sorry. I 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.
00:06:30Yeah, about that.
00:06:31I just gotta push.
00:06:33He's supposed to be filming some PR thing for his campaign tomorrow.
00:06:37At the cafe.
00:06:39What?
00:06:43So, 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. I 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. Everyone needs Owen Carter in their life.
00:07:03He's like, literally perfect.
00:07:05I don't even remember this.
00:07:06He took the rid of my adamant off.
00:07:18Oh, my God. We're going to be our leader.
00:07:21You can start by leading me.
00:07:25Get in line, bitches.
00:07:27I'm going to be Mrs. Mayor.
00:07:29We can already see Owen Carter's passionate fan base as he makes his first stop at the Simple Cafe where
00:07:35he wrote his first speeches.
00:07:40So, we go in, you chat with the business owner, you stick to the questions that I prepared for you
00:07:45because I did my opposition research.
00:07:46Brittany, my whole campaign is about helping small businesses. I think I know what questions to ask.
00:07:51All right.
00:08:11What's wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost.
00:08:13Not a ghost.
00:08:15A fairy.
00:08:27You sure you want to do this?
00:08:29Yeah.
00:08:30I want you to do mine first.
00:08:41All right. Let's, let's get you out of the sun. Let's, gotta go inside.
00:08:53So much for not seeing Owen.
00:08:58Hello, future mayor. What can I get for you?
00:09:00Yeah.
00:09:00Viennese coffee? A macchiato on soy? How 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. Don't let him notice me.
00:09:17Sarah.
00:09:18House blend for Mr. Carter.
00:09:27Let's go for a minute.
00:09:28What are you doing?
00:09:34Oh!
00:09:36Oh my God. I am, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.
00:09:39Ah, are you okay?
00:09:42I'll live.
00:09:44How are you there?
00:09:49That's gonna burn. Um, luckily I work all day with boiling hot liquids.
00:09:55So, I always carry something all on me.
00:10:11Look at you saving me again.
00:10:13Just like old time safari.
00:10:17What the fuck, Sarah?
00:10:18You spilled coffee on the future mayor?
00:10:21Hey, it's an accident. It's fine.
00:10:22You wanna know about small business? I'm gonna tell you the truth.
00:10:25I can't afford quality girls, so I have to set up a trash like-
00:10:28Hey! That is not okay.
00:10:30It most definitely isn't. I'm glad you agree.
00:10:34I'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? That's okay.
00:10:44I don't wanna work for a horny, misogynistic, shit-breathing asshole anyways.
00:10:49So actually, I quit.
00:10:51Ow! You fucking bitch!
00:10:55Don't you dare lay your head on her.
00:10:56Okay!
00:10:57I wanna do a photo op in this dump anyway.
00:11:01Let's get out of here.
00:11:02Yeah. Couldn't agree more.
00:11:08You know what? I'll find another job. I'll even work at night if I need to, to pay for Tom's
00:11:12education.
00:11:14Sarah, I'm not gonna let him fire you.
00:11:18I don't need you to fight my battles for me.
00:11:21I have been through enough since high school to learn how to survive on my own even when things get
00:11:24hard, so...
00:11:25What do you mean? What things?
00:11:28Uh, just, things. Owen, I'm a grown woman. I've been through things.
00:11:32I know. You should at least let me give you a ride home.
00:11:37I live close enough to walk. It's fine.
00:11:39Uh, in that case, I may need a favor.
00:11:44I'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, I mean, I did spill coffee on you, so I would, yeah.
00:12:06Uh, 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, uh, husband or boyfriend?
00:12:24Uh, no, no boyfriend, no husband, no shirt.
00:12:27Uh, the only thing I have that might fit you are the sweatshirts I sleep in.
00:12:37Um...
00:12:37This is my sweatshirt.
00:12:40You kept it.
00:12:42Oh.
00:12:43Yeah, I mean, not like for any reason, just, 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,
00:12:53maybe it'll be relatable.
00:12:59So his mother still controls his life.
00:13:03She can't find out that I have Tom.
00:13:07Or that I'm even interacting with Owen at all.
00:13:12So what are you gonna do now? For work?
00:13:14Uh, you know, there's bound to be someone who wants to hire an unskilled dropout.
00:13:18Oh, stop it. You were one of the smartest kids in the school.
00:13:22Yeah, well...
00:13:23Life happened.
00:13:25And I'm actually glad Tony fired me. He's just...
00:13:28He's one of those people where he doesn't realize that society isn't measured by the people who lead it, but
00:13:34by the people it refuses to leave behind.
00:13:40What was that thing you just said?
00:13:44Uh, what?
00:13:46Society isn't measured by who leads it, but...
00:13:50By who it refuses to leave behind. So?
00:13:54I got a proposal for you.
00:13:57You should come work for me.
00:14:02I need a political advisor.
00:14:04Remember high school? You used to help me strategize for debate team.
00:14:08You helped me write up my talking points.
00:14:10You helped me beat Joe Callahan back then. We can beat him again now.
00:14:12You remember all that?
00:14:14I remember everything, Sarah.
00:14:19Sarah!
00:14:20What are you doing?
00:14:26Oh.
00:14:27Sorry.
00:14:29Truth is...
00:14:31I'm starting to feel like an imposter.
00:14:34It's only a matter of time before everybody's gonna start seeing it.
00:14:37Owen, you've always been the best.
00:14:38I was the best with you.
00:14:41That was high school. I 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. I can't just start taking risks now.
00:15:02Sarah, 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, Ferry.
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. His evil mom.
00:15:43She's vicious, she's connected, and she thinks I aborted her grandson.
00:15:51Is that Owen?
00:15:53I like the new look.
00:15:54One 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.
00:16:27But it's not, I can't.
00:16:29What will she do?
00:16:30Fire you from a job you don't have?
00:16:32You wrote all his speeches with him back in the days.
00:16:35You're smart.
00:16:36Go help him.
00:16:38We don't want Joe as mayor, right?
00:16:44Owen, as your PR consultant, I beg you, do not respond to Joe Callahan.
00:16:49He's just 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.
00:17:18I 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.
00:17:28You need to prove to the voters that you're the real deal.
00:17:32And 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.
00:17:57That's why I want to be mayor of this town, so I can serve the hard-working 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.
00:18:15You.
00:18:16What are you doing here?
00:18:18You have a lot of nerve showing up again.
00:18:21I thought we got rid of you like you got rid of your fetus.
00:18:24I warned you years ago to stay away.
00:18:29And I am very powerful in this town.
00:18:34Owen, look who crashed your little event.
00:18:38The sweetheart who cheated on you with Joe Callahan.
00:18:41Mom, let's leave the past in the past.
00:18:44Sarah's my new political advisor.
00:18:49You gotta be kidding.
00:18:50She's your new advisor?
00:18:53Yes.
00:18:53She's a brilliant political mind.
00:18:55No.
00:18:56No.
00:18:56Nope.
00:18:56I don't work for him.
00:18:58I helped him with one small thing.
00:19:01That'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.
00:19:13It was her idea to buy the house.
00:19:14That's just some basic idea from an inexperienced mind
00:19:19trying to pander to the masses.
00:19:22Okay.
00:19:23I'm gonna go.
00:19:25So thank you and goodbye.
00:19:28Mom, what are you doing here?
00:19:30You have a child?
00:19:32You 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?
00:19:48I don't know.
00:19:50Maybe.
00:19:52Wow.
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?
00:20:06You 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.
00:20:14We gotta get back to work.
00:20:15Wait, can I get a picture first?
00:20:17Absolutely.
00:20:19Okay.
00:20:21Alright.
00:20:24One, two, they look so natural together.
00:20:29Maybe I should just tell them.
00:20:32The resemblance is uncanny.
00:20:35Any advice for my campaign?
00:20:37Ah, well, I've always said do good when no one's looking, but, uh, your mom's the real campaign genius.
00:20:44Thanks.
00:20:46I know.
00:20:46My mom told me my dad's a politician, too.
00:20:53Okay, you should probably get back to class.
00:20:55Bye, Mr. Carter.
00:20:56Good luck.
00:21:00Great kid.
00:21:01Yes, Sarah.
00:21:03Exactly.
00:21:04How old is your charming little boy?
00:21:09He's, um...
00:21:11Almost ten.
00:21:13Is it possible that Tom is my son?
00:21:16I understand now.
00:21:18That politician father must be Joe Callahan.
00:21:26I mean, they did a date.
00:21:29Or at least whatever it was we saw them doing.
00:21:32Mom, it's none of our business.
00:21:35I'm gonna head out.
00:21:37Wait.
00:21:39I have a surprise for you.
00:21:42Okay.
00:21:48This room needs a little work.
00:21:52I cannot believe that this is the house you bought.
00:21:56Heh, you remember it?
00:21:58The house you grew up in.
00:22:00Smart.
00:22:01Or mine butters of your childhood.
00:22:03Lots of good memories in this room.
00:22:04Mm-hmm.
00:22:11Admittedly, you could use a little furniture.
00:22:13I remember my desk used to be right over there.
00:22:15Oh, my God.
00:22:16Do you remember?
00:22:17You used to get that mattress and bring it down here.
00:22:19You used to put it right here.
00:22:21Uh, yeah.
00:22:22To be near my books.
00:22:24No, exactly.
00:22:25Oh, God.
00:22:26That was finals week.
00:22:28Finals week.
00:22:30This...
00:22:31That was our first time.
00:22:37Are you sure you wanna do this?
00:22:40Yeah.
00:22:41I want you to be my first.
00:22:48That's why it still feels like home here.
00:22:51All my best memories were here.
00:22:54They all involved you.
00:22:59Owen, you can't be serious.
00:23:01We have three mansions, a penthouse in D.C. and Manhattan, a lake house.
00:23:07And you want to live here.
00:23:08I like it.
00:23:10I'm staying.
00:23:11May I have a word with my son?
00:23:16You never did think clearly when I came to that girl.
00:23:19She has trouble.
00:23:20She's not.
00:23:21And I'm a grown man.
00:23:22Trust me.
00:23:23Every choice she makes will cost you.
00:23:29Owen, I can't believe it.
00:23:31But that whole buying a house thing?
00:23:32It worked.
00:23:33You just went up almost 20 points in the polls.
00:23:38You see, Mom?
00:23:39You gotta trust me.
00:23:41Sarah and I can do great things together.
00:23:43Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while.
00:23:47Well, I'm doubling that squirrel's offer.
00:23:50That's my decision.
00:23:51It's not changing.
00:23:52All right.
00:23:53If that's your decision as your campaign manager,
00:23:56I will close the deal with her.
00:23:58Now, you just focus on winning,
00:24:01and Sarah and I will start fresh.
00:24:05Hey, Sarah.
00:24:08Your plan worked.
00:24:09We went up in the polls.
00:24:11I know.
00:24:11I saw.
00:24:12See, Eleanor, I told you.
00:24:13I'm not trying to hurt Owen.
00:24:15I'm trying to help him.
00:24:16I am sure we can work together.
00:24:19Now, Owen has a call scheduled with the governor.
00:24:22We should let him take that.
00:24:31You saw the polls.
00:24:32Oh, just shut up.
00:24:34So, in the end, you kept seeing Joe,
00:24:37even though it started as a facade.
00:24:41I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
00:24:44I can't tell her who Tom's father really is.
00:24:47Imagine getting knocked up by both candidates.
00:24:51Listen up, you two-bit skank.
00:24:54Here's how it's going to be.
00:24:56We both know that you are dangerous to Owen's career.
00:24:59If it gets out that he got you pregnant in high school,
00:25:02and you got an abortion.
00:25:04I listened to you in high school.
00:25:07I'm not that little girl anymore.
00:25:09I'm not.
00:25:10I need this job, and I would never hurt Owen.
00:25:15You have no idea who you're dealing with.
00:25:19You will tell Owen you are refusing the job, or I will make your life hell.
00:25:24You already did make my life hell.
00:25:29You cost me the love of my life.
00:25:31I have nothing left to lose.
00:25:33Hmm.
00:25:34Really?
00:25:36Your son goes to Montclair Academy, correct?
00:25:41Did you know I am still on their school board?
00:25:45You leave my son out of this?
00:25:49If you want your bastard to have a future, you will get out of our lives.
00:25:55So either Tom loses the opportunity of his life,
00:26:00or I lose the man who is the love of mine.
00:26:04So, Sarah, make your choice.
00:26:11Second, let's adjust the tie.
00:26:13All right.
00:26:15You know what? Let's take a picture together.
00:26:19Don't we look like we're a couple?
00:26:21Sorry if I'm interrupting anything.
00:26:23You are interrupting everything.
00:26:25I just need to talk to Owen.
00:26:27Sure. Let's go and wait.
00:26:30That whore.
00:26:31I will get my man.
00:26:33What's up?
00:26:34Hey, um...
00:26:36I can't take this job.
00:26:37Why?
00:26:38It's too hard.
00:26:39Just working together, it's just bringing up a lot of really painful memories for me.
00:26:43Oh, look, Sarah, this is hard for me, too.
00:26:45I mean, you broke my heart, but I'm willing to put it behind me because...
00:26:48I believe in what we're doing here.
00:26:50Well, I do, too.
00:26:51I just can't.
00:26:52If I can't convince you to stay, you gotta at least let me pay you for your first day.
00:27:04$5,000?
00:27:07For one day?
00:27:08Owen, I can't take. That's too much.
00:27:10And that one day, you changed the whole momentum of this election.
00:27:14You're really talented, Sarah.
00:27:15Truth is, I need you.
00:27:19I'm sorry.
00:27:21If you want your bastard to have a future, you will get out of our lives.
00:27:27I can't.
00:27:28If you change your mind, I'm right here.
00:27:36Five grand.
00:27:37For one day?
00:27:38We make $150 at the cafe.
00:27:41I know.
00:27:42But I have to give it back.
00:27:43Don't you dare.
00:27:44Okay, you don't have a job thanks to him.
00:27:46And you have bills to pay.
00:27:48You have a child to raise.
00:27:51Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:27:53What's up?
00:27:53What's wrong?
00:27:54Whoever does not know his past, his present is poor and his future is shrouded in fog.
00:28:00Hey, what are you talking about?
00:28:00All the candidates for student council president had to fill out a family tree today to show
00:28:06the pride in where they come from.
00:28:08Freaking Jayden saw that I didn't know who my dad was.
00:28:13So I don't have a future.
00:28:15Hey.
00:28:16Hey.
00:28:17No, no, no, no, no.
00:28:18Freaking Jayden doesn't know what he's talking about.
00:28:20He has no idea.
00:28:21He's wrong.
00:28:22Okay.
00:28:23No, he isn't.
00:28:24I'm withdrawing from the writing.
00:28:26Hey, don't do that, my love.
00:28:27Don't.
00:28:27Then tell me who my father is.
00:28:31I will.
00:28:32I will, hon.
00:28:33When you're older, though, I promise.
00:28:35Just not right now.
00:28:35Why not?
00:28:36It's complicated.
00:28:37But I promise, I promise you, you do have a future, even if you don't have a dad.
00:28:42Okay?
00:28:42I hate you!
00:28:48Sarah.
00:28:50Don't.
00:28:51Don't start with 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, he's gonna give it all up himself.
00:29:06Because you're keeping this secret.
00:29:08You're not 18 anymore.
00:29:10If Eleanor fights 30, you can fight back.
00:29:13It's not just about me.
00:29:16It's Owen.
00:29:18If people find out that he had a kid out of wedlock in high school,
00:29:22I mean, he could lose this election.
00:29:24His career could be over.
00:29:26Okay, Sarah.
00:29:27This is not the 1970s.
00:29:29So what if he had a kid out of wedlock?
00:29:32Plenty of elected officials have done way worse.
00:29:36Tom and Owen both deserve to know the truth.
00:29:40You're right.
00:29:41I'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.
00:29:58I 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?
00:30:09Yes, um...
00:30:13You'll have to excuse me.
00:30:14I'm having a little trouble articulating at the moment.
00:30:18Isn't it a public servant's job to articulate things to the public?
00:30:24He's been totally unfocused since that waitress advisor left.
00:30:28He's stressed.
00:30:29He's been focusing so much on the campaign.
00:30:32He could use a little feminine comfort.
00:30:36I wish.
00:30:37That would be my dream.
00:30:39I've wanted Owen for years.
00:30:42Well, now's the time.
00:30:44Make your move.
00:30:47Owen!
00:30:48Hey, that was great.
00:30:50Sure, a few places we could tighten.
00:30:52Maybe we go get a drink?
00:30:55Talk...
00:30:56Strategy?
00:30:57Maybe later.
00:30:58Go after him.
00:30:59And make sure that white trash parasite stays away.
00:31:03What is your problem?
00:31:05Why is she good enough for Owen and I'm not?
00:31:07She actually helps his future.
00:31:11Remind me again how your story ended.
00:31:14Wow, no, I remember exactly how it ended.
00:31:17And I think it's time Owen finds out exactly who ended it.
00:31:20What?
00:31:22What?
00:31:25Security?
00:31:26We have an intruder.
00:31:33Knew I'd find you here.
00:31:35You always came here to clear your head.
00:31:37Yeah, last I was here was a decade ago.
00:31:40After you cheated on me with Joe.
00:31:44I actually wanted to talk to you about that.
00:31:47Wanna explain?
00:31:48Nah, you don't have to.
00:31:50You were right, we shouldn't work together.
00:31:53Too much painful history.
00:31:56I mean, it wasn't all painful.
00:32:00Some of it was pretty great.
00:32:06And there's something you don't know.
00:32:08So tell me.
00:32:10Just say it.
00:32:11Sarah, he deserves to know.
00:32:13And he could be a great father.
00:32:17Owen, the truth is...
00:32:22Owen, the truth is...
00:32:25That...
00:32:26That's her.
00:32:28Arrest her.
00:32:29Mom, what are you doing?
00:32:31She doesn't work for you anymore.
00:32:33She's probably spying.
00:32:35Don't forget her connection with Joe.
00:32:37I would never do that.
00:32:38I would never...
00:32:40I actually want to join your campaign.
00:32:43I've decided.
00:32:46Alright.
00:32:47Welcome back.
00:32:48Owen, no!
00:32:49Mom, I wanted to run for mayor of my hometown
00:32:52to reconnect with who I am.
00:32:54With what I believe in.
00:32:55Sarah's an integral part of that.
00:32:58I want her here.
00:32:59Nobody said anything like that to me in years.
00:33:01And in a minute, he'll know everything.
00:33:05Fine.
00:33:06If that's what you want.
00:33:09It's time for your interview.
00:33:10This is the most important network in the country.
00:33:13Let's nail it.
00:33:14Alright.
00:33:15So you finish telling me later?
00:33:17Yeah.
00:33:18You, come with me.
00:33:20Tell him what?
00:33:22That would be between me and Owen.
00:33:24Not your business.
00:33:25That alert?
00:33:26I just got...
00:33:29It was a DNA test.
00:33:31I know that Tom is Owen's son.
00:33:38That's right.
00:33:40Your son and I had a little chat yesterday.
00:33:43He's really very trusting.
00:33:45He didn't hesitate when I offered him a glass of water.
00:33:50Giving me plenty of DNA to work with.
00:33:53You have no right to approach my son.
00:33:56You had that child behind my back.
00:33:59Your back?
00:34:00My body?
00:34:01My choice?
00:34:02Oh, cool it with the protest slogans.
00:34:04And now listen to what's gonna happen here.
00:34:06I will allow you to continue working for Owen
00:34:10as long as you never tell him
00:34:13that Tom is his son or anyone else.
00:34:16Or what? This time? Hmm?
00:34:19Tom is an A-plus student.
00:34:21Nobody's gonna expel him because of one of your wins.
00:34:25Not this time.
00:34:26Especially not when they all find out
00:34:28that he is the child of our next mayor.
00:34:31Sweetheart.
00:34:33You underestimate me.
00:34:35Tom is my grandchild.
00:34:37I have no intention of pressuring anyone to expel him.
00:34:42Really?
00:34:42No, I'll let fate do that for me.
00:34:47I would, um, answer that if I were you.
00:34:53Uh, Miss Holden, hi.
00:34:55Is everything okay? What's wrong?
00:34:56Did something happen to Tom?
00:34:58Not to Tom, by Tom.
00:35:00He vandalized the school's computer lab.
00:35:03Wait, sir, what?
00:35:05That, no, that doesn't sound like Tom.
00:35:07He would never.
00:35:08I know.
00:35:08But the damage was so severe,
00:35:10we brought in the police,
00:35:12and we have Tom's DNA at the scene.
00:35:16DNA?
00:35:16Hey.
00:35:17I'm sorry to tell you.
00:35:19Tom is suspended from school,
00:35:21and thus disqualified for the student council elections.
00:35:25No, no, no, no, no, no, Miss Holden, please.
00:35:28Look, this is just, this is a terrible mistake.
00:35:31Uh, Tom loves this school.
00:35:33He loves it.
00:35:34He would never do anything like that.
00:35:35Parents often have blind spots when it comes to their children.
00:35:40The 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?
00:36:08A woman who loves her son.
00:36:13Now, are you going to keep your mouth shut about Tom being Owens,
00:36:17or are you going to open it and ruin Tom's life?
00:36:24Fine.
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.
00:36:37Oh, I can't do that,
00:36:40but I can have him reinstated in the student council election,
00:36:45on the condition that you get out of our lives the moment this campaign ends.
00:36:53Fine.
00:37:00Yes, it's a lot of nuance. It's hard to explain. A few short soundbikes, but...
00:37:05Yes, thank you for your time.
00:37:08I hope everyone listening goes out to vote.
00:37:23Hello? You okay in there?
00:37:25Go away.
00:37:26I'm sorry you're having a hard time, kid.
00:37:29I can relate.
00:37:32I once locked myself in that same stall after a bad day, long time ago.
00:37:41Why would someone lie about me destroying the computer lab? I didn't even do anything.
00:37:46Yeah, you know, in politics you learn a lot about lies.
00:37:50Liars are weak, and they're afraid of the truth.
00:37:53You just might have been the truth for someone.
00:37:55Who are you running against?
00:37:58Jaden Green, but I don't think it's him.
00:38:00Yesterday, our class pet, Yerwill the Gerbil, bit him.
00:38:05He was crying for two hours.
00:38:10How does Joe Callahan have such an amazing son, and he's not even around?
00:38:16Well, Jaden might not be the criminal mastermind, but...
00:38:20You know what else I've learned?
00:38:22The truth always wins in the end.
00:38:26Keep the faith.
00:38:44You always stick your tongue out like that when you're concentrating?
00:38:48I guess.
00:38:50It's actually the same thing.
00:38:52He 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!
00:39:06Ms. Holden, hi.
00:39:07What are you doing here?
00:39:08Following up on your son's vandalism.
00:39:11I don't know if you understand how much damage was done.
00:39:15It looks even worse than your house.
00:39:19Oh!
00:39:21Sorry, I just started a new job, and I haven't really had time to go.
00:39:24I admit I was surprised to learn Tom was behind it.
00:39:28He's a model student.
00:39:29But now I understand.
00:39:32Children often act out when they are neglected.
00:39:36Neglected?
00:39:38I would never neglect Tom.
00:39:41And he didn't act out.
00:39:42He was framed.
00:39:43Oh, well, if you know the perpetrator, I'd love to know.
00:39:47She'll never believe Eleanor did it.
00:39:48Not without any proof.
00:39:49And then Tom would get thrown out.
00:39:51I know Tom liked the back of my hand.
00:39:54He would never act out like this.
00:39:56The evidence says otherwise.
00:39:59And, uh, as the parent, it is your responsibility to pay for the damages.
00:40:07$20,000?
00:40:10Well, I don't have that kind of money.
00:40:13Ms. Watson, your son smashed 15 laptops and broke three windows.
00:40:19The only reason he did not get expelled is because Eleanor Carter spoke on his behalf.
00:40:26Who's the one who did this in the first place?
00:40:28And if I leave your house today without a check, even she can't help him.
00:40:35Tom?
00:40:37Where were you?
00:40:39Wait, are you saying you had no idea where your son was this whole time?
00:40:45His bus should have dropped him off long ago.
00:40:48I missed it.
00:40:50What?
00:40:51How did you get home?
00:40:52I got a ride.
00:40:53With who?
00:40:54This is far worse than I imagined.
00:40:56Your son is hitchhiking?
00:40:59I'm afraid I'm going to have to report you to Child Protective Services.
00:41:03Still strict as ever, aren't we, Ms. Holden?
00:41:08Owen?
00:41:09What are you doing here?
00:41:11Get Tom a rat.
00:41:12And I'm far from a stranger, Ms. Holden.
00:41:14Can I go?
00:41:15I have homework.
00:41:17Yes.
00:41:18Owen Carter, my favorite student.
00:41:20Get over here.
00:41:26I can hold off on calling CPS for now, but I still need for you to pay for the damages
00:41:32to the computer lad, Ms. Watson.
00:41:35Ma'am, Tom told me he didn't do it.
00:41:36And I believe him.
00:41:38Trust me, after working in Washington, I know a liar when I see one.
00:41:42Be that as it may, in the absence of another culprit, we need Ms. Watson to reimburse us.
00:41:49Yeah, it's fine. I just, I need a day to go to the bank and get a loan.
00:41:53I got it.
00:41:54How much?
00:41:55No, I'm not taking your money.
00:41:57$20,000.
00:42:00There you are.
00:42:03I've got my eye on you.
00:42:09That was completely inappropriate.
00:42:12I told you that I'm fine on my own, and I have been fine on my own raising Tom all
00:42:17of these years.
00:42:18Why, because Joe wasn't in the picture?
00:42:21Come on, Sarah, I don't buy that.
00:42:24Whose child is Tom really?
00:42:29Is Tom really Joe's?
00:42:31I want to tell him so bad that his mom would ruin Tom's life.
00:42:40Tom is Joe's.
00:42:47And he's not in the picture because I never told him.
00:42:51Why?
00:42:51Why not? Don't you think Tom should know his father?
00:42:53I agree, he should.
00:42:57But, Joe's father forced me to keep it a secret in order to help his career.
00:43:04An ass.
00:43:05Who does that to their own grandson just for a career?
00:43:08Damn, parents will do anything for their kids.
00:43:11But, Tom, please, you cannot tell anybody it'll be a scandal.
00:43:13You know I won't.
00:43:15I never take the low road.
00:43:17He raised an amazing boy.
00:43:20And I'm glad I got to meet him.
00:43:22Well, I should go check on him.
00:43:23He's had a hard day.
00:43:25Oh, he's fine.
00:43:26I already talked to him.
00:43:34You have no idea how much that means to me.
00:43:38It's just been me and Tom for so long.
00:43:45No one has ever cared for us like that.
00:43:48It's been a long time for me too, fairy.
00:44:02Goodnight.
00:44:18Hey.
00:44:19Ah.
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, we're gonna film a video here.
00:44:31My 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 gold.
00:44:37Okay. Trust you.
00:44:39Ooh.
00:44:42Something's missing.
00:44:45Um...
00:44:46I always carry a spare for Tom just in case.
00:44:48It might be a little swollen on you, but we are gonna make it work.
00:45:07Where do you want me?
00:45:09Um...
00:45:10Inside.
00:45:11We should all probably go inside and you can finish that.
00:45:16Daisy, if your boss raised your wages, you think you'd work faster?
00:45:21Honestly, no.
00:45:23You stupid girl. This is a disaster.
00:45:26You are ruining him.
00:45:29If you were paid more, it wouldn't motivate you to work faster.
00:45:32I mean, I already work as fast as I can.
00:45:35So if you were paid more, it wouldn't increase profits here?
00:45:38I didn't say that. I would definitely make money for this place.
00:45:42Okay, so tell me about that. If you worked the same amount...
00:45:45If I got paid what I was worth, then I would feel like my employers valued me.
00:45:50And I would smell more.
00:45:52Here's that classic house blend, just the way you like it.
00:45:58Now, wouldn't you return to a place with service like that?
00:46:02I come back for that smile every day.
00:46:05Con it! Oh, perfect you two!
00:46:07I don't even know what to say anymore. You saved me again.
00:46:11Good job, I'm so proud of you!
00:46:13I mean, good job.
00:46:14He's never gonna end up with me, as long as that stupid whore is still around.
00:46:19Leave it to me. I have friends in high places, like the police.
00:46:25And if you do exactly as I said, we can separate them for good.
00:46:37Hey. Really great work today.
00:46:40I'll see you at the gala tonight.
00:46:51Hi.
00:46:53Is there a problem, officer?
00:46:55We received a report of reckless driving for this vehicle.
00:46:58Uh, this vehicle's been parked for hours.
00:47:01I smell alcohol. Have you been drinking, ma'am?
00:47:03No, no, absolutely not.
00:47:05What's in that bag?
00:47:06Um, I don't know. It's probably my son's.
00:47:15I don't know.
00:47:16Ma'am, step out of the car.
00:47:18You're under arrest for drunk driving.
00:47:22This is huge.
00:47:23Hands down your back.
00:47:24No, the whiskey's not mine. I promise.
00:47:27And I'm LeBron James.
00:47:28Everyone lies to get out of crime.
00:47:30I didn't commit a crime.
00:47:32Driving with an open container isn't even a misdemeanor.
00:47:34Suspect is clearly drunk, acting hysterical, resisting arrest.
00:47:39So, please, please, just listen to me, okay?
00:47:42I have a kid at home and I have to get back to him.
00:47:46Eleanor! Eleanor, you've been with me all day.
00:47:48Please, will you tell him that I have not been drinking?
00:47:50I'm sorry, do we know each other?
00:47:53Seriously?
00:47:54Look, please, please, just call Owen.
00:47:56Come with me, ma'am.
00:47:58What do you think you're doing?
00:48:01Mr. Carter!
00:48:03Wow.
00:48:03Is that you?
00:48:04Yes.
00:48:06This woman's my employee.
00:48:07Be that as it may, sir, she had an open bottle of whiskey in the car.
00:48:11And I told you that it's not mine.
00:48:12It's not mine.
00:48:13And she's been very combative.
00:48:15I have reason to believe she's drunk.
00:48:18She's been with me all day.
00:48:19If she's been drinking, I'd know.
00:48:21And as for the bottle of whiskey in her car, it's not hers.
00:48:25Release her.
00:48:27Now.
00:48:28Or I'll call your commander.
00:48:30Officer Jacobs is a good friend of mine.
00:48:32He'd love to hear the way you're abusing your power.
00:48:34Well, if you can vouch for her.
00:48:43I see you for me.
00:48:49You should be calling me my fairy.
00:48:51Magic happens when we're together.
00:48:53Why didn't you come back?
00:48:55I thought Tom might need his tie.
00:48:58And I wanted to ask you a favor.
00:49:00After that?
00:49:01Yeah, sure. Anything.
00:49:03Be my date tonight.
00:49:06That sounds...
00:49:09Probably not a good look for a candidate to be dating a staffer.
00:49:13Well, it didn't mean romantically.
00:49:15It's a campaign event.
00:49:17We need to plan my speech for election night.
00:49:20And you've just been working so hard.
00:49:23I think you deserve a night off.
00:49:25Well, in that case...
00:49:26How can I say no?
00:49:30Senator Whitmore, thank you again for coming.
00:49:32It means the world.
00:49:34When you call, I always come.
00:49:36Oh, and here's the man of the hour.
00:49:43And who is that fine young lady as his arm around?
00:49:48Oh, that's just some little slut.
00:49:50You can pair her if you like.
00:49:52Now, Mrs. Carter, I bristle at the very suggestion.
00:49:55I'm a man of great ethics and dignity.
00:49:59Senator Whitmore, didn't know you'd be here.
00:50:01It's an honor.
00:50:03I have wonderful news.
00:50:04Because I'm always looking out for my son, I have managed to convince the senator to be your political advisor
00:50:10for the rest of the campaign.
00:50:15But the election's tomorrow.
00:50:17Son, I can tell you from my experience, the only hours that matter to manage campaign are the last 24.
00:50:22So let's finish strong.
00:50:24I really appreciate the offer and I'm really grateful for your support, but I already have an advisor.
00:50:30I'd like you to meet Sarah Watson.
00:50:32It is my deep pleasure to meet you.
00:50:39Sarah's been absolutely integral to this campaign.
00:50:42My poll numbers just keep jumping up because of her.
00:50:45If I win tomorrow, it's going to be her fault, not mine.
00:50:48Well, if you all excuse me, I gotta go give a speech.
00:50:52Owen didn't mean to refuse your wise counsel.
00:50:56He's just very loyal.
00:50:59You and Sarah can work together.
00:51:04I like the sound of that.
00:51:12Tomorrow's the big day, and we couldn't have gotten here without all your hard work and dedication.
00:51:17So, to sum up the journey we've all been on together,
00:51:21my brilliant advisor, my fairy, Sarah, has prepared a little presentation for us.
00:51:32Don't worry. The whole world is about to completely fall apart.
00:51:54Great advisor for swimsuits.
00:51:57I'd let her advise me on every position.
00:52:05Shut it down. Shut it down.
00:52:11I'm going to find who did this stupid prank.
00:52:13Until then, I want you all to know that 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.
00:52:26And 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.
00:52:55You made it.
00:52:56Of course.
00:52:57I wouldn't miss her.
00:52:58And I've decided to be an influencer and being seen around Owen will rake in the followers.
00:53:04So, thank you.
00:53:06Excellent job.
00:53:07Really nice.
00:53:08Really nice.
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.
00:53:24But the picture was perfect.
00:53:29Easy.
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.
00:53:36So, let me go and get you some water.
00:53:37No, no.
00:53:38Don't walk away from the one man that can actually do something for your future.
00:53:41Excellent job.
00:53:42Really nice.
00:53:43In return, you can do a little something for me.
00:53:52You're gonna 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.
00:54:03Don't you dare touch her.
00:54:04Come on, Carter.
00:54:05What's the point of being a politician if 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.
00:54:18Do it now.
00:54:19I'm sorry.
00:54:20But you're a frigid bitch.
00:54:22I can't enjoy your-
00:54:28You just punched a senator.
00:54:30Are you okay?
00:54:31I won't be 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.
00:54:41Um...
00:54:41We have to get out of here and pray he does not remember this in the morning.
00:54:48Can you see your hand?
00:54:53Ooh.
00:54:56Now look, I would say you're just gonna be sleeping it off for a while.
00:55:01I'm just...
00:55:03You know, when we were escaping from the gym, it kind of reminded me of when we used to...
00:55:09Sneak out of the assemblies?

00:55:13Come right here to this room.

01:05:28I'll add assault to the list of things I need to report to the police and CPS.
01:05:33Poor Tom has no stable adult presence in his life.
01:05:39But I do.
01:05:40Owen Carter is my father.
01:05:44Owen Carter is your father.
01:05:46Of course.
01:05:47Isn't that right?
01:05:49Dad?
01:05:50Yes.
01:05:52He's my son.
01:05:57Can't you see we look alike?
01:05:58I've known you a long time, Mr. Carter.
01:06:01You've never mentioned any children.
01:06:04Well, we didn't want it to get out.
01:06:06We were young and unmarried and thought it might scare off the voters.
01:06:10But Tom is my son.
01:06:12If Tom has a stable parental figure in his life,
01:06:16then I don't have to call the authorities.
01:06:21I'm sorry.
01:06:22I really was only trying to help Tom.
01:06:32Now, 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.
01:06:52Well, it was all thanks to this little guy concocting that story that I'm his father.
01:06:57The resourcefulness of a true politician.
01:06:59How'd you come up with that brilliant story?
01:07:01I told you, it's in my blood.
01:07:06Should I tell Owen now that he's Tom's father?
01:07:15Owen.
01:07:18Meet your son.
01:07:21Tom.
01:07:22Tom.
01:07:24Owen Carter is your dad.
01:07:27For real.
01:07:30Tom.
01:07:31Tom's my son.
01:07:33You're my dad?
01:07:35No way.
01:07:36Way.
01:07:37Long way, but...
01:07:41Dad!
01:07:42I can't believe it.
01:07:46You know, it's strange.
01:07:48But I think I can believe it.
01:07:50You can't?
01:07:55Yeah, I, uh, talked to Joe.
01:07:58He said you'd two never...
01:08:00Yeah.
01:08:00You know?
01:08:01Yeah.
01:08:02Um, Owen, listen, I'm really sorry.
01:08:06But I lied to you.
01:08:07I just...
01:08:09I thought this would ruin your career.
01:08:11And your mom had promised me that it would.
01:08:15She forced me to break up with you.
01:08:19And she gave me money for an abortion.
01:08:22She what?
01:08:23I 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.
01:08:30Hey, 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.
01:08:54I don't know how to come back from that.
01:08:56I can fix this.
01:08:57Like a politician.
01:08:59Dad, do you love mom?
01:09:03I do.
01:09:06I don't want to be with her.
01:09:08The future mayor has stated his position.
01:09:10Your rebuttal?
01:09:12My rebuttal.
01:09:23Is that the ring you were going to propose to me with in high school?
01:09:26You kept it.
01:09:27I hoped for so long that this moment would come.
01:09:33It has.
01:09:37Sarah Watson.
01:09:39Will you marry me?
01:09:43I don't know.
01:09:44Yes.
01:09:45Owen, it's always been you.
01:09:50We're going to be a family?
01:09:54I'm the mayor's son.
01:09:57Oh, my God.
01:09:57The election.
01:09:59Joe's video.
01:10:00We never made a rebuttal.
01:10:01What do we do?
01:10:02The only thing we can do.
01:10:04Lose.
01:10:06No.
01:10:07No, no, no, no, no.
01:10:08You can still win this.
01:10:09Nah, the polls are open.
01:10:10Joe's going to win.
01:10:11No, no.
01:10:11I will.
01:10:12I'll go.
01:10:13I will give an interview.
01:10:14I'll tell everybody what happened.
01:10:14You were just protecting me.
01:10:16Too 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.
01:10:33We're going to say thank you to the volunteers and staffers.
01:10:37And we're going to move right on to the next election.
01:10:40Because that's what we do.
01:10:42I'm sorry.
01:10:43Bye.
01:10:46You guys, my video is blowing up.
01:10:50I mean, I guess I did look good in that dress.
01:10:53Whoa.
01:10:54Did I miss something?
01:10:59Where the hell is Owen?
01:11:04How dare you walk in here with my son after you cost him the election?
01:11:08Mother, meet your grandson.
01:11:11My son.
01:11:12The 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.
01:11:28So you could go to a prestigious college and go to D.C. and live your dreams.
01:11:34Without 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.
01:11:43Well, you might get your wish.
01:11:45Since you punched Senator Whitmore, you're certain to lose the race.
01:11:49That's what you care about?
01:11:52Just go.
01:11:53I can't even look at you.
01:11:55Owen?
01:11:56You know, Mother, I'm not going to lose this race.
01:12:00Because I'm going to withdraw from it.
01:12:02To focus on the important things.
01:12:15It doesn't make any sense.
01:12:17I've gotten a million views in just two hours.
01:12:20What?
01:12:20Yes.
01:12:21Let me see.
01:12:26Dear friends, I'm so grateful for all the hard work you put into this campaign.
01:12:31But I regret to inform you that due to personal circumstances, I'm withdrawing my candidacy for mayor.
01:12:41No, no, no, no, no, no, no, he's not.
01:12:43He is not.
01:12:47Everyone, open the news.
01:12:49My video has gone viral.
01:12:54You need to watch Daisy's video right now.
01:12:57Dress is from agency.
01:12:59Okay, look right there.
01:13:01The lip liner is from Foxy.
01:13:04Make sure y'all click the link in my bio.
01:13:06Carter protected a woman.
01:13:08He's the mayor we need.
01:13:10People are starting to believe you.
01:13:12You're still in this race.
01:13:14Oh, and it's not over yet.
01:13:19Mom.
01:13:20Dad.
01:13:20Guess what?
01:13:21I won.
01:13:22I'm student council president.
01:13:23What?
01:13:24What?
01:13:24That's amazing, buddy.
01:13:26Come here.
01:13:26Come here.
01:13:28You'll win too, Dad.
01:13:29I know it.
01:13:30Yeah.
01:13:34That'll be the results.
01:13:36I, I can't.
01:13:38Okay.
01:13:41Hello?
01:13:44Yeah.
01:13:46Yeah, I'll tell him.
01:13:52How bad is it?
01:13:54The landslide.
01:13:57Congratulations, Mayor Carter.
01:14:00What?
01:14:00Yeah.
01:14:01You won?
01:14:04My dad is mayor.
01:14:14It's all thanks to you.
01:14:18Congratulations, son.
01:14:20All I ever wanted was treat you to be happy.
01:14:24I went about it the wrong way.
01:14:27But it never, I never meant to hurt you.
01:14:30I'm so, so sorry.
01:14:35You are my life.
01:14:40Please, forgive me.
01:14:49You don't owe my mother anything.
01:14:52No.
01:14:53But you'll find this out soon enough.
01:14:59When you become a parent,
01:15:01your entire world becomes about that child.
01:15:05And I know what it's like to not see straight,
01:15:08try and protect them.
01:15:11And you're going to make plenty of mistakes, too.
01:15:13Trust me.
01:15:16You should forgive her.
01:15:32Now, who wants a victory photo?
01:15:37Okay. One, two, three.
01:15:43You're going to make a great cover story.
01:15:47Oh, I am so sorry. We're renovating right now.
01:15:50We? You may not get a say in the design.
01:15:53You have much more important things to worry about, Mr. Mayor.
01:15:57Mm-hmm.
01:16:00Congratulations, the Mary left.
01:16:02One small question that interests our readers.
01:16:06Is it hard for you to work together, live together, and raise a child together?
01:16:12Well, we have one rule at home.
01:16:14Whatever the argument, no matter who says what, the truth always wins in the end.
01:16:19And who decides what the truth is?
01:16:22Me.
01:16:36We're going to break it.
01:16:36What if the truth is?
01:16:37We'll break it.
01:16:37We'll break it.
