00:13:39what was that thing you just said?
00:13:43uh

00:29:11you can fight back
00:29:13it's not just about me
00:29:16it's Owen
00:29:17if people find out
00:29:18that he had a kid out of wedlock
00:29:20in high school
00:29:21I mean
00:29:22he could lose this election
00:29:23his career could be over
00:29:25okay
00:29:26Sarah
00:29:26this is not the 1970s
00:29:29so what if he had a kid out of wedlock
00:29:31plenty of elected officials
00:29:33have done way worse
00:29:35Tom and Owen both deserve to know the truth
00:29:39you're right
00:29:40I'm sorry
00:29:48one criticism
00:29:49is that you're all style
00:29:50and no substance
00:29:52that you offer no real solutions to the issues
00:29:55well
00:29:55take small business for example
00:29:57I proposed we
00:29:59raise workers wages
00:30:00which places a financial burden
00:30:02on small businesses right
00:30:04how can anyone benefit
00:30:06if they can't afford to keep the business running
00:30:08yes
00:30:13you'll have to excuse me
00:30:14I'm
00:30:15having a little trouble articulating at the moment
00:30:17isn't it a public servant's job
00:30:19to articulate things to the public
00:30:23he's been totally unfocused
00:30:25since that waitress advisor left
00:30:27he's stressed
00:30:28he's been focusing so much on the campaign
00:30:31he could use a little
00:30:33feminine comfort
00:30:35I wish
00:30:36that that would be my dream
00:30:38I've wanted Owen for years
00:30:41well now's the time
00:30:43make your move
00:30:47Owen
00:30:47hey
00:30:48that was great
00:30:49sure a few places we could
00:30:51tighten
00:30:52maybe we go get a drink
00:30:54talk
00:30:55strategy
00:30:56maybe later
00:30:57go after him
00:30:59and make sure that white trash parasite
00:31:01stays away
00:31:02what is your problem?
00:31:04why is she good enough for Owen
00:31:06and I'm not?

00:39:10vandalism
00:39:10I don't know
00:39:12if you understand
00:39:13how much damage
00:39:14was done
00:39:14it looks even
00:39:16worse than
00:39:17your house
00:39:18oh
00:39:19oh
00:39:19um
00:39:20sorry
00:39:21I just
00:39:21I started a new
00:39:22job
00:39:23and I haven't
00:39:23really had time
00:39:24to quit
00:39:24I admit
00:39:24I was surprised
00:39:25to learn
00:39:26Tom was behind
00:39:27it
00:39:27he's a model
00:39:28student
00:39:29but
00:39:29now I understand
00:39:32children
00:39:33often act out
00:39:34when they are
00:39:35neglected
00:39:35neglect
00:39:36I would never
00:39:39neglect
00:39:39Tom
00:39:41and he didn't
00:39:41act out
00:39:42he was
00:39:42Frank
00:39:42oh well
00:39:43if you know
00:39:44the perpetrator
00:39:44I'd love to know
00:39:46she'll never
00:39:47believe Eleanor
00:39:48did it
00:39:48not without
00:39:48any proof
00:39:49and then Tom
00:39:49would get thrown out
00:39:51I know Tom
00:39:52like the back
00:39:52of my hand
00:39:54he would never
00:39:54act out like this
00:39:55the evidence
00:39:57says otherwise
00:39:58and
00:39:59as the parent
00:40:00it is
00:40:01your responsibility
00:40:03to pay for
00:40:04the damages
00:40:07twenty thousand
00:40:08dollars
00:40:10well I don't
00:40:11have that kind
00:40:12of money
00:40:12Miss Watson

00:40:15smashed
00:40:16fifteen laptops
00:40:17and broke
00:40:17three windows
00:40:18the only reason
00:40:20he did not
00:40:21get expelled
00:40:21is because
00:40:23Eleanor Carter
00:40:24spoke on his
00:40:25behalf
00:40:25who's the one
00:40:26who did this
00:40:26in the first place
00:40:27and if I leave
00:40:29your house today
00:40:30without a check
00:40:31even she

00:57:48I've never forgotten your smell.
00:58:00The sound of your laugh.
00:58:11I never forgot you, Sarah.
00:58:22Don't move.
00:58:23You look perfect in this light.
00:58:27Good morning.
00:58:29Good morning.
00:58:35I missed you.
00:58:37I missed you too, but Owen, this scares me.
00:58:43What, the campaign?
00:58:44My mom?
00:58:46Look, Sarah, we're going to figure this out.
00:58:48No one can defeat us when we're together.
00:58:51I'm here to stay.
00:58:53I have to tell him.
00:58:55He's Tom's father, and I have to tell him right now.
00:59:00Owen, I've been keeping a secret from you.
00:59:03And when I tell you, I don't know if you'll ever be able to forgive me.
00:59:11There's nothing you could say that would change the way I feel about you.
00:59:17Tom.
00:59:20Is.
00:59:22Owen, are you in there?
00:59:24Oh, my God, that's your move.
00:59:25Um, I'll hide.
00:59:26No.
00:59:27We're together now.
00:59:28We have nothing to hide.
00:59:32We 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 had time
00:59:42to 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.
01:00:14Owen, 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.
01:00:29I 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.
01:01:18What the fuck, Carter?
01:01:18You'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.
01:01:27He 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, were you just here for revenge?
01:01:36By 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, Sarah came on to me that one time, kissed me,
01:02:10you saw us, then she disappeared, and that's it.
01:02:18Where the fuck's my driver?
01:02:22Hey, Tom, Daisy, where are y'all?
01:02:26Okay, ha, I'm not in the mood for jokes.
01:02:28Where are you guys?
01:02:29Tom, Daisy.
01:02:30You can't find your son.
01:02:32Miss Holden?
01:02:33Uh, sorry, what are you doing here again?
01:02:36I received an anonymous tip that Tom was left alone last night.
01:02:41As his principal, I came over right away to check.
01:02:45And to see if I need to call CPS.
01:02:48Okay.
01:02:49There has been a huge misunderstanding.
01:02:51My friend stayed with Tom last night,
01:02:53so they're just probably out getting breakfast or something right now.
01:02:55Sarah, I'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, look, are 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, please, where are you?
01:03:11Your 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?
01:03:28Tom 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.
01:03:43I 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,
01:03:57and I overheard someone saying that they saw your son.
01:04:00He's down by the river with some older man.
01:04:05Mom?
01:04:06I'm fine.
01:04:09Hi.
01:04:10Oh, 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.
01:04:57Fine.
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 going to kill her.
01:05:09Hey, hey, hey.
01:05:10She's not worth it.
01:05:13Brittany, you can see yourself out now.
01:05:15Owen, I can explain.
01:05:17I was just trying to listen.
01:05:17Owen, please.
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, Dad?
01:05:50Yes.
01:05:52He's my son.
01:05:56Can't you see we look alike?
01:05:58I've known you a long time, Mr. Carter.
01:06:01You've never mentioned any children.
01:06:03Well, we didn't want it to get out.
01:06:06We were young and unmarried 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.
01:06:20I'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.
01:06:36The 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.
01:07:06Should I tell Owen now that he's Tom's father?
01:07:14Owen.
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...
01:07:38Wait.
01:07:41Dad!
01:07:42I can't believe it.
01:07:46You know, it's strange, but I think I can believe it.
01:07:49You can't?
01:07:54Yeah, I, uh, talked to Joe.
01:07:58He said you two never...
01:07:59Yeah.
01:08:00You know?
01:08:01Yeah.
01:08:01Um, Owen, listen, I'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, I 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.
01:08:34So, are you and mom, boyfriend and girlfriend?
01:08:39Well, 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, like 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.
01:09:10Your 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.
01:09:50We're going to be a family?
01:09:53I'm the mayor's son.
01:09:56Oh, my God.
01:09:57The election.
01:09:58Joe's video.
01:09:59We never made a rebuttal.
01:10:00What do we do?
01:10:01The 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.
01:10:25The 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 D.C. and live your dreams.
01:11:33Without me, you'd be a plumber right now.
01:11:36If 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?
01:11:51Just go.
01:11:52I can't even look at you.
01:11:54Owen?
01:11:56You know, Mother, I'm not going to lose this race.
01:12:00Because I'm going to withdraw from it.
01:12:01To 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.
01:12:19What?
01:12:20Yes.
01:12:21Let me see.
01:12:25Dear friends, I'm so grateful for all the hard work you put into this campaign.
01:12:30But, um, I regret to inform you that due to personal circumstances, I'm withdrawing my candidacy for mayor.
01:12:40No, 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.
01:12:53You need to watch Daisy's video right now.
01:12:56Dress is from H&C.
01:12:58Okay, look right there.
01:13:00Zoom in.
01:13:01The lip liner is from Foxy.
01:13:04Make sure y'all click the link in my bio.
01:13:05Carter protected a woman.
01:13:07He's the mayor we need.
01:13:10People are starting to believe you.
01:13:12You're still in this race.
01:13:14Owen is not over yet.
01:13:19Mom.
01:13:19Dad, guess what?
01:13:20I won.
01:13:21I'm student council president.
01:13:23What?
01:13:24That's amazing, buddy.
01:13:25Come here.
01:13:26Come here.
01:13:27You'll win too, Dad.
01:13:29I know it.
01:13:30Just now.
01:13:33That'll be the results.
01:13:36I, I can't.
01:13:38Okay.
01:13:40Hello?
01:13:44Yeah.
01:13:45Yeah, I'll tell him.
01:13:52How bad is it?
01:13:54The landslide.
01:13:57Congratulations, Mayor Carter.
01:14:00What?
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 for you to be happy.
01:14:24I went about it the wrong way, but I never, I never meant to hurt you.
01:14:31I'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.
01:14:55But, you'll find this out soon enough.
01:14:58When you become a parent, your entire world becomes about that child.
01:15:04And I know what it's like to not see straight, trying to protect them.
01:15:10And you're going to make plenty of mistakes, too.
01:15:13Trust me.
01:15:15You should forgive her.
01:15:33Now, who wants a victory photo?
01:15:36Okay.
01:15:37One, two, three.
01:15:43You're going to 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, Mr. Mayor.
01:15:57Mm-hmm.
01:15:59Congratulations, 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?
01:16:11Well, we have one rule at home.
01:16:14Whatever the argument, no matter who says what, the truth always wins in the end.
01:16:18And who decides what the truth is?
01:16:21Me.
01:16:22Bye-bye.
01:16:23Bye-bye.
01:16:24Bye-bye.
01:16:25Bye-bye.
01:16:29Bye-bye.
01:16:33Bye-bye.
01:16:35Bye-bye.
01:16:35Bye-bye.
01:16:36Bye-bye.
01:16:37Bye-bye.
