00:11:25so

00:11:29things
00:11:30Owen I'm a grown woman I've been through things

00:11:43I'm supposed to be on national TV in an hour and I am covered in coffee
00:11:49any chance I might use your shower
00:12:00thanks for helping me out

00:12:05uh shower is right there
00:12:08okay

00:12:19it belongs to a husband or boyfriend
00:12:23uh 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
00:12:37this is my sweatshirt
00:12:40you kept it
00:12:42oh
00:12:43yeah I mean not like for any reason just
00:12:45saving money I guess yeah
00:12:47yeah
00:12:47ah well
00:12:49I'm sure my mom would kill me for doing an interview in this but uh
00:12:53maybe it'll be relatable
00:12:58so 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
00:13:11so 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
00:13:21yeah well life happened
00:13:25and I'm actually glad Tony fired me
00:13:27he's just he's one of those people where he doesn't realize that society isn't measured
00:13:32by the people who lead it but by the people it refuses to leave behind
00:13:40what was that thing you just said
00:13:44uh what
00:13:46society isn't measured by who leads it but
00:13:49by who it refuses to leave behind
00:13:53so
00:13:53I got a proposal for you
00:13:57you should come work for me
00:14:01I need a political advisor
00:14:04remember high school you used to help me strategize for debate team
00:14:07you helped me write up my talking points
00:14:09you helped me beat Joe Callahan back then
00:14:11we can beat him again now
00:14:12you remember all that?
00:14:14I remember everything Sarah
00:14:19Sarah
00:14:19what 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
00:14:37oh and you've always been the best
00:14:39I 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
00:14:46I take your instincts over the degrees of all those empty suits around me any day
00:14:52you know this town better than anyone
00:14:55you've got guts
00:14:56what I have is responsibilities
00:14:58I can't just start taking risks now
00:15:01Sarah you don't have a job
00:15:06right
00:15:08just think about it okay
00:15:11I won't forget what you were for me very
00:15:14we can do great things together
00:15:27are you crazy
00:15:29being Owens 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
00:15:36no no
00:15:37it is a bad idea for so many reasons
00:15:40name one
00:15:41one
00:15:41he's even long
00:15:42she's vicious
00:15:44she's connected
00:15:45and 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
00:15:56is that a society is not measured by who leads it
00:15:59but 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
00:16:14out of touch Washington inside
00:16:16I 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

00:35:56then child welfare
00:35:58will get involved
00:35:59why you might
00:36:01lose everything
00:36:02what kind of person
00:36:04frames their own grandchild
00:36:07a woman
00:36:08who loves her son
00:36:13now are you going to keep your mouth shut
00:36:15about Tom being Owens
00:36:17or are you going to open it
00:36:19and ruin Tom's life
00:36:24fine
00:36:27you win
00:36:29I won't say anything to Owen or to Tom
00:36:33but you have to get this little incident erased off of Tom's record
00:36:37oh I can't do that
00:36:39but I can have him reinstated
00:36:42in the student council election
00:36:44on the condition that
00:36:47you get out of our lives
00:36:49the moment this campaign ends
00:36:53fine
00:36:59yes it's a lot of nuance
00:37:01it's hard to explain
00:37:02a few short soundbikes
00:37:03but
00:37:05yes thank you for your time
00:37:07I hope
00:37:08everyone listening goes out to vote
00:37:22hello
00:37:23you okay in there
00:37:25go wait
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
00:37:34long 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
00:37:52you just might have been the truth for someone
00:37:56who 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
00:38:02Yerwill the gerbil
00:38:03bit him
00:38:04he was crying for two hours
00:38:09how 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
00:38:18but
00:38:19you know what else I've learned
00:38:22the truth always wins in the end
00:38:25keep the faith
00:38:44you 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
00:38:54could 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
00:39:13I 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 go
00:39:24I admit I was surprised to learn Tom was behind it
00:39:27he's a model student
00:39:29but
00:39:30now he understands
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 frank
00:39:43oh well
00:39:43if you know the perpetrator
00:39:45I'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 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
00:40:00ask 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
00:40:16fifteen laptops
00:40:17and broke three windows
00:40:19the only reason
00:40:20he did not get expelled
00:40:22is because Eleanor Carter
00:40:24spoke on his behalf
00:40:25who's the one who did this in the first place
00:40:28and
00:40:28if I leave your house today without a check
00:40:31even she can't help him
00:40:35Tom?
00:40:37where were you?
00:40:39wait
00:40:40are you saying you had no idea
00:40:43where your son was this whole time?
00:40:45his bus should have dropped him off long ago
00:40:48I missed it
00:40:49what?
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
00:41:01to child protective services
00:41:03still strict as ever
00:41:04aren't we Miss Olden?
00:41:08Owen?

00:41:26I can hold off on calling CPS for now
00:41:29but I still need for you to pay for the damages
00:41:32to the computer lad
00:41:33Miss Watson
00:41:34ma'am Tom told me he didn't do it
00:41:36and I believe him
00:41:38trust me after working in Washington
00:41:41I know a liar when I see one
00:41:42be that as it may
00:41:44in the absence of another culprit
00:41:47we need Miss Watson to reimburse us
00:41:49yeah
00:41:50it's fine
00:41:50I just
00:41:51I need a day to go to the bank

00:41:55no I'm not taking your money
00:41:56twenty thousand dollars
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
00:42:14and I have been fine on my own
00:42:16raising Tom all of these years
00:42:18why?
00:42:18because Joe wasn't in the picture?
00:42:21come on Sarah
00:42:22I don't buy that

00:42:29is Tom really Joe's?
00:42:31I want to tell him
00:42:32so bad
00:42:35but his mom would ruin Tom's life
00:42:39Tom
00:42:41is
00:42:45Joe's
00:42:47and he's not in the picture
00:42:48because I never told him
00:42:50why not?
00:42:51don't you think Tom should know his father?
00:42:53I agree
00:42:54he should
00:42:56but
00:42:58Joe's father
00:43:00forced me to keep it a secret
00:43:01in order to help his career
00:43:03what an ass
00:43:05who does that to their own grandson
00:43:06just for a career?
00:43:08damn parents will do anything for their kids
00:43:10but Owen
00:43:11please you cannot tell anybody
00:43:12it'll be a scandal
00:43:13you know I won't
00:43:15I never take the low road

00:43:48it's been a long time for me too fairy
00:44:02goodnight

00:44:21we are going to explain your stance on small businesses
00:44:24ah yes
00:44:25the 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 going to film a video here
00:44:30my friend Daisy works here
00:44:31all you have to do is go in
00:44:33and ask her about her salary
00:44:34that's it
00:44:35she'll answer
00:44:35it'll be gold
00:44:37okay
00:44:38trust you
00:44:42something's missing
00:44:43um
00:44:46I always carry a spare for Tom
00:44:47just in case
00:44:48it might be a little swell on you
00:44:49but we are going to make it work
00:45:07where do you want me
00:45:08um

00:45:36it wouldn't increase profits here

00:45:43if you worked the same amount
00:45:45if I got paid what I was worth

00:57:48I've never forgot 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.
00:58:28Good morning.
00:58:29Good morning.
00:58:36I missed you.
00:58:37I missed you, too.
00:58:40But...
00:58:42Owen, this scares me.
00:58:43What, the campaign?
00:58:45My mom?
00:58:46Look, Sarah, we're gonna figure this out.
00:58:49No 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.
00:58:58Owen,
00:59:00I've been keeping a secret from you.
00:59:04And when I tell you,
00:59:07I don't know if he'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
00:59:22Owen, are you in there?
00:59:24Oh, my God.
00:59:25I'll hide.
00:59:26No.
00:59:27We're together now.
00:59:28We have nothing to hide.
00:59:33I should have known.
00:59:34Mom, I'm a grown man.
00:59:35Yes, and I don't have time to deal with this.
00:59:39And I am guessing this means you haven't had 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.
01:00:07She 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,
01:00:17your 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.
01:00:36So,
01:00:37I'm resigning as your advisor.
01:00:41Sarah.
01:00:41Excellent.
01:00:42So we'll issue a denial,
01:00:44claim 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?
01:00:59Do something I should have done a long time ago.
01:01:01Talk to Joe Callahan.
01:01:05You tell me, huh?
01:01:09Where the hell have you been?
01:01:11It's election day.
01:01:11I need to shut down the food bank and get to the polls.
01:01:18What the fuck, Carter?
01:01:19You're here to beat me up like you did Senator Whitmore?
01:01:21He deserved it.
01:01:22Whatever the reason,
01:01:23that'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 were you 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.
01:01:43Now write.
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.
01:02:02So Joe isn't Tom's father.
01:02:05You never slept with Sarah?
01:02:07No, Sarah came on to me that one time,
01:02:09kissed me,
01:02:10you saw us,
01:02:12then she disappeared,
01:02:13and that'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, I'm not in the mood for jokes.
01:02:28Where are you guys?
01:02:29Tom!
01:02:29Daisy!
01:02:30You can't find your son.
01:02:32Miss Holden?
01:02:34Uh, sorry, what are you doing here again?
01:02:37I received an anonymous tip
01:02:39that Tom was left alone last night.
01:02:41As his principal,
01:02:43I 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
01:02:54or 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?
01:03:04No.
01:03:06Where is Tom?
01:03:09Tom?
01:03:10Tom, please!
01:03:11Please, where are you?
01:03:12Your babysitter never arrived
01:03:13to take care of your son
01:03:15and now he's missing?
01:03:17This is very serious.
01:03:18Miss Holden,
01:03:19if you care about Tom at all,
01:03:21I need you to help me look for him.
01:03:23I will help Tom
01:03:24by calling the police
01:03:26and having you arrested.
01:03:28What?
01:03:29Tom needs to be placed in a safe home.
01:03:31And between your bikini photos
01:03:34at the campaign headquarters
01:03:36and the video of you
01:03:37egging Owen Carter on
01:03:39to hit our senator,
01:03:41you belong in prison.
01:03:43I don't have time
01:03:45for this bullshit right now.
01:03:47I need to find my son.
01:03:54Oh, my God.
01:03:55I was just at HQ
01:03:57and I overheard someone saying
01:03:58that they saw your son.
01:04:00He's down by the river
01:04:01with some older man.
01:04:05Mom?
01:04:06I'm fine.
01:04:10Oh, my God.
01:04:12I was so worried.
01:04:14I...
01:04:16Where were you?
01:04:17When I woke up,
01:04:18you weren't here
01:04:19and neither was Daisy.
01:04:20So I went to the cafe
01:04:21to look for you
01:04:22and Owen found me.
01:04:25I've heard enough.
01:04:27Mr. Carter can't save you this time.
01:04:30Your child could have been killed
01:04:32while you were off
01:04:33doing God knows what.
01:04:34It wasn't her fault.
01:04:36Somebody locked me
01:04:37in the bathroom.
01:04:42You.
01:04:44You did this.
01:04:45You locked Daisy
01:04:47in that bathroom.
01:04:48Probably on Eleanor's orders.
01:04:50I'm willing to bet
01:04:50that you're also the one
01:04:51that made that call
01:04:52to Miss Holden.
01:04:55You know what?
01:04:56You mess with me.
01:04:58Fine.
01:04:59I can handle it.
01:05:01But you crossed a line
01:05:04trying to get my son
01:05:05taken away from me.
01:05:07I will kill you.
01:05:08I'm going to kill her.
01:05:09Hey, hey, hey.
01:05:10She's not worth it.
01:05:13Brittany,
01:05:14you can see yourself out now.
01:05:15Owen, I...
01:05:16I can explain.
01:05:17I was just...
01:05:17You heard me.
01:05:17Owen, please, I...
01:05:18You're fired.
01:05:20After everything I've done...
01:05:28I'll add assault
01:05:29to the list of things
01:05:30I need to report
01:05:31to the police and CPS.
01:05:32Poor Tom
01:05:34has no stable
01:05:36adult presence
01:05:37in his life.
01:05:38But I do.
01:05:40Owen Carter
01:05:40is my father.
01:05:44Owen Carter
01:05:45is your father.
01:05:46Of course.
01:05:47Isn't that right,
01:05:49Dad?
01:05:50Yes.
01:05:52He's my son.
01:05:56Can't you see
01:05:57we look alike?
01:05:58I've known you
01:05:59a long time,
01:06:00Mr. Carter.
01:06:01You've never mentioned
01:06:03any children.
01:06:04Well,
01:06:04we didn't want it
01:06:05to get out.
01:06:06We were young
01:06:07and unmarried
01:06:08and thought it might
01:06:09scare off the voters.
01:06:10But Tom is my son.
01:06:12If Tom has a stable
01:06:14parental figure
01:06:15in his life,
01:06:16then I don't have
01:06:19to call the authorities.
01:06:21I'm sorry.
01:06:22I really was
01:06:23only trying
01:06:24to help Tom.
01:06:31Now,
01:06:32does anyone
01:06:33have a charger?
01:06:34I need to upload
01:06:35my videos.
01:06:36The public is waiting.
01:06:37Sure,
01:06:38Aunt Daisy.
01:06:40Right.
01:06:46Thank you
01:06:47for saving us again.
01:06:52Well,
01:06:52it was all thanks
01:06:53to this little guy
01:06:53concocting that story
01:06:55that I'm his father.
01:06:56The resourcefulness
01:06:57of a true politician.
01:06:59How'd you come up
01:07:00with that brilliant story?
01:07:01I told you,
01:07:02it's in my blood.
01:07:06Should I tell Owen now
01:07:07that he's Tom's father?
01:07:15Owen.
01:07:18Meet your son.
01:07:21Tom.
01:07:22Tom.
01:07:24Owen Carter
01:07:25is 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.
01:07:36Long way,
01:07:38but...
01:07:41Dad!
01:07:42I can't believe it.
01:07:46You know,
01:07:47it's strange,
01:07:48but I think
01:07:48I can believe it.
01:07:50You can?
01:07:55Yeah,
01:07:55I, uh,
01:07:57talked to Joe.
01:07:58He said you'd
01:07:59never...
01:07:59Yeah.
01:08:00You know.
01:08:01Yeah.
01:08:02Um,
01:08:03Owen,
01:08:03listen,
01:08:04I'm really sorry,
01:08:06but I lied to you.
01:08:07I just...
01:08:09I thought this
01:08:10would ruin your career,
01:08:11and your mom
01:08:11had promised me
01:08:13that it would.
01:08:15She forced me
01:08:16to break up with you.
01:08:19And she gave me money
01:08:20for an abortion.
01:08:22She what?
01:08:23I know,
01:08:23but it's not an excuse.
01:08:24I know that it's not an excuse.
01:08:25I am so sorry.
01:08:27You had a right
01:08:28to all of those years
01:08:29with your son.
01:08:30Hey, people,
01:08:31let bygones
01:08:32be bygones.
01:08:34So,
01:08:35are you and mom
01:08:37boyfriend and girlfriend?
01:08:40Well,
01:08:41I 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
01:08:54to come back from that.
01:08:55I can fix this
01:08:57like a politician.
01:08:59Dad,
01:09:00do you love mom?
01:09:03I do.
01:09:06I don't want
01:09:07to be with her.
01:09:08The future mayor
01:09:08has stated his position.
01:09:10Your rebuttal?
01:09:12My rebuttal.
01:09:22Is that...
01:09:23The ring you were
01:09:24going to propose
01:09:25to me with
01:09:25in high school?
01:09:26You kept it.
01:09:27I had hoped
01:09:29for so long
01:09:30that this moment
01:09:31would come.
01:09:33It has.
01:09:37Sarah Watson,
01:09:39will you marry me?
01:09:43Yes.
01:09:45Owen,
01:09:46it's always been you.
01:09:50We're going to be a family?
01:09:54I'm the mayor's son.
01:09:56Oh my God,
01:09:57the election.
01:09:59Joe's video.
01:09:59We never made a rebuttal.
01:10:00What do we do?
01:10:02The only thing
01:10:02we can do.
01:10:04Lose.
01:10:06No,
01:10:07no,
01:10:07no,
01:10:07no,
01:10:07no,
01:10:07no.
01:10:07You can still win this.
01:10:09Nah,
01:10:09the polls are open.
01:10:10Joe's going to win.
01:10:11No,
01:10:11no,
01:10:11I will,
01:10:12I'll go,
01:10:13I will give an interview.
01:10:13I'll tell everybody
01:10:14what happened.
01:10:14You were just protecting me.
01:10:15Too little,
01:10:16too late.
01:10:17It's your word
01:10:18against the senators.
01:10:19But you said
01:10:20the truth always wins.
01:10:21Hey,
01:10:24and the truth did win today.
01:10:26The only truth that matters
01:10:27is that you're my son.
01:10:30We're going to go to HQ
01:10:31with our heads held high.
01:10:33We're going to say thank you
01:10:34to the volunteers
01:10:34and staffers.
01:10:36And we're going to move
01:10:37right on to the next election.
01:10:40Because that's what we do.
01:10:42I'm sorry.
01:10:46You guys,
01:10:47my video is blowing up.
01:10:49I mean,
01:10:50I guess I did look good
01:10:51in 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
01:11:06with my son
01:11:06after you cost him
01:11:07the election?
01:11:08Mother,
01:11:09meet your grandson.
01:11:11My son,
01:11:12the one you tried
01:11:13to have aborted.
01:11:16You forced Sarah
01:11:18to hide him from me
01:11:19for all these years,
01:11:21convinced her to break my heart,
01:11:23and then you tried
01:11:24to have him expelled?
01:11:25How could you?
01:11:26I did it for you.
01:11:28So you could go
