00:00:03Soon, 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.
00:00:27And just as bees spread pollen from one flower to another, allowing an entire field to bloom,
00:00:34now's our turn, to spread what we've learned at Montclair everywhere we go.
00:00:41I love you, fairy.
00:00:46I feel like I'm gonna be sick.
00:00:50No, no, no, no.
00:00:52But we use protection.
00:00:54Sarah, listen to me.
00:00:55I've let this little fling go on because I assumed you were just some high school amusement.
00:01:01Oh, and can't have some trashy, low-class girl on his arm if he wants to succeed.
00:01:06What have you got there?
00:01:08Give it to me.
00:01:11Give it to me!
00:01:19You're pregnant.
00:01:21This is between me and Owen.
00:01:24You stupid girl!
00:01:26Owen has a future in D.C. and Congress.
00:01:29People say he could become President of the United States.
00:01:34If people find out he had a child out of wedlock in high school, his career is over before it
00:01:41begins.
00:01:41Is that what you want for Owen?
00:01:44For him to be stuck here with you?
00:01:46To give up his dreams?
00:01:49If you really love Owen, you will end this pregnancy and never speak to him again.
00:01:58Understand?
00:02:06Oh, and 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.
00:02:17Sarah's the reason I won today.
00:02:19You think you'd talk to some of your connections about getting her a scholarship, too?
00:02:23Mom, you know it's not her fault she can't afford the Ivy Leagues.
00:02:26She's the most brilliant student in the school.
00:02:28I want her with me.
00:02:31You will end this pregnancy and never speak to him again.
00:02:36You know I'd do anything for you.
00:02:40Thanks, Mom.
00:02:45I have to do this for Owen's future.
00:02:48Sarah!
00:02:50Sarah, I've got great new- Sarah!
00:02:54What are you doing?
00:02:56Exactly when I told her to...
00:03:00Owen...
00:03:01I'm so sorry.
00:03:03I...
00:03:03Hey, man.
00:03:05She came on to me, so...
00:03:07Son of a bitch!
00:03:08Look at the Ivy Leagues in Congress.
00:03:10Don't ruin your future over some high school girlfriend.
00:03:14You better get out of here right now.
00:03:15I don't care, I'll break your face.
00:03:21I thought you loved me.
00:03:23We had a future.
00:03:27I don't love you.
00:03:30We don't have a future.
00:03:32We never did.
00:03:36You need to move on with your life.
00:03:41I was gonna propose to you.
00:03:45I'm just an idiot.
00:03:49I'm just 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.
00:04:21How 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?

00:04:37I'll straighten her out.

00:29:02to be honest

00:29:05because you're keeping this secret
00:29:08you're not 18 anymore
00:29:10if eleanor fights 30
00:29:12you can fight back
00:29:13it's not just about me
00:29:16it's owen
00:29:17if people find out that he had a kid out of wedlock in high school
00:29:22i mean
00:29:23he could lose this election
00:29:24his career could be over
00:29:25okay
00:29:26sarah
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
00:29:34have done way worse
00:29:35tom and owen both deserve to know the truth
00:29:39you're right
00:29:41you're right
00:29:42i'm sorry
00:29:48one criticism is that you're all style
00:29:51and no substance
00:29:52that you offer no real solutions to the issues
00:29:55well take small business for example
00:29:57i proposed we raise workers wages
00:30:01which places a financial burden on small businesses right
00:30:04how can anyone benefit if they can't afford to keep the business running
00:30:08yes um
00:30:13you'll have to excuse me
00:30:14i'm having a little trouble articulating at the moment
00:30:17isn't it a public servant's job to articulate things to the public
00:30:24he's been totally unfocused since that waitress advisor left
00:30:27he's stressed
00:30:29he's been focusing so much on the campaign
00:30:32he could use a little feminine comfort
00:30:35i wish
00:30:37that that would be my dream
00:30:39i've wanted owen for years
00:30:41well now's the time
00:30:44make your move
00:30:47owen
00:30:48hey

00:30:54talk
00:30:56strategy
00:30:56maybe later
00:30:58go after him
00:30:59and make sure that white trash parasite stays away
00:31:02what 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

00:34:23because one of your wins

00:34:25especially not when they all find out that he is the child of our next mayor
00:34:31sweetheart
00:34:33you underestimate me
00:34:35tom is my grandchild
00:34:37i have no intention of pressuring anyone to expel him
00:34:41really
00:34:42no i'll let fate do that for me
00:34:47i would um
00:34:48answer that if i were you
00:34:53uh miss holden
00:34:54hi
00:34:55is everything okay
00:34:56what's wrong
00:34:56did something happen to tom
00:34:57not to tom
00:34:59by tom
00:35:00he vandalized
00:35:01the school's computer lab
00:35:03wait
00:35:03sir what
00:35:04that no that doesn't sound like tom
00:35:07he would never
00:35:07i 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
00:35:16i'm sorry to tell you
00:35:18tom is suspended from school
00:35:21and thus disqualified for the student council elections
00:35:25no no no no no miss holden please
00:35:28look this is just this is a terrible mistake
00:35:31tom 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
00:35:50another fatherless child turned to crime
00:35:54first there'll be a police report then child welfare will get involved
00:35:59why you might lose everything
00:36:03what kind of person frames their own grandchild
00:36:07a woman who 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
00:36:25fine
00:36:27you win
00:36:30i 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
00:36:39but i can have him reinstated in the student council election
00:36:45on the condition that
00:36:48you get out of our lives the moment this campaign ends
00:36:54hi
00:37:00yes it's a lot of nuance it's hard to explain a few short soundbikes but it
00:37:05yes thank you for your time
00:37:08i hope everyone listening goes out to vote
00:37:22hello
00:37:24you 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
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
00:37:58jayden green
00:37:58but i don't think it's him
00:38:00yesterday
00:38:01our class pet
00:38:02your will the gerbil
00:38:03bit him
00:38:04he was crying for two hours
00:38:10how does joe callahan
00:38:11have such an amazing son
00:38:14and he's not even around
00:38:16well jayden might not be the criminal mastermind but
00:38:20you know what else i've learned
00:38:23the truth always wins in the end
00:38:26keep the faith
00:38:44you always stick your tongue out like that when you're concentrating
00:38:48i guess
00:38:50i do the same thing
00:38:53he couldn't be mine
00:38:55could he
00:38:57tom i heard about the computer lab
00:38:59i'm so sorry

00:39:11i don't know if you understand how much damage was done
00:39:15it looks even worse than
00:39:17it looks even worse than
00:39:18your house
00:39:19your house
00:39:19oh oh um
00:39:21sorry i just i 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
00:39:28he's a model student
00:39:29but now i understand
00:39:33children often act out when they are neglected
00:39:36neglected
00:39:38i would never neglect
00:39:41tom and he didn't act out
00:39:42he was frank
00:39:43oh well if you know the perpetrator i'd love to know
00:39:46she'll never believe eleanor did it
00:39:49not without any proof and then tom would get thrown out
00:39:51i know tom like the back of my hand
00:39:54he would never act out like this
00:39:56the evidence says otherwise
00:39:59and uh
00:40:00as the parent
00:40:01it is your responsibility
00:40:03to pay for the damages
00:40:07twenty thousand dollars
00:40:11well i don't have that kind of money
00:40:13miss watson
00:40:14your son smashed fifteen laptops and broke three windows
00:40:19the only reason he did not get expelled
00:40:22is because eleanor carter spoke on his behalf
00:40:26who's the one who did this in the first place
00:40:28and if i leave your house today without a check
00:40:31even she can't help him

00:43:49it's been a long time for me too fairy
00:43:51it's been a long time for me too fairy
00:44:18hey
00:44:19ah
00:44:19what magic you're working today fairy
00:44:22we 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
00:44:36gold
00:44:37okay
00:44:38trust you
00:44:42something's missing
00:44:43um
00:44:46i always carry a spare for tom just in case
00:44:48it might be a little swell on you
00:44:50but 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
00:45:17if your boss raised your wages
00:45:19you think you'd work faster

00:45:22no
00:45:22you stupid girl
00:45:24this is a disaster
00:45:26you are ruining him
00:45:29if you were paid more
00:45:30it wouldn't motivate you to work faster
00:45:32i mean i already work as fast as i can
00:45:35so if you were paid more it
00:45:37wouldn't increase profits here

00:45:42okay so tell me about that
00:45:43if you worked the same amount
00:45:45if i got paid what i was worth
00:45:47then i would feel like my employers valued me

00:58:49no one can defeat us when we are together
00:58:51I'm here to stay
00:58:54i 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.
00:59:04And when I tell you, I 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.
00:59:21Tom is...
00:59:22Owen, are you in there?
00:59:24Oh my God, that's your move. I'll hide.
00:59:26No.
00:59:28We're together now. We have nothing to hide.
00:59:33I should have known.
00:59:34Mom, I'm a grown man.
00:59:36Yes, 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.
00:59:50You assaulted the senator on the night before Election Day?
00:59:55The man is a state hero.
00:59:57Do you want to lose?
00:59:59He 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?
01:00:13Sarah didn't cause any of this.
01:00:15Owen.
01:00:17Your mom's right.
01:00:21What are you talking about? You've only ever made my life better.
01:00:25Even 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, I'm resigning as your advisor.
01:00:41Sarah.
01:00:42Excellent.
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?
01:00:59Do 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.
01:01:12I need to shut down the food bank and get to the polls.
01:01:18What the fuck, Carter?
01:01:19You here to beat me up like you did to Senator Whitmore?
01:01:21He deserved it.
01:01:22Whatever the reason, that's the best thing that could have happened to me.
01:01:25You just handed me this election on a silver platter.
01:01:28He sexually assaulted Sarah Watson.
01:01:31You remember, Sarah.
01:01:32You two hooked up in high school when she was still with me.
01:01:35So you're just here for revenge?
01:01:37Am I 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, 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.
01:01:58What the fuck are you talking about, Carter?
01:02:00I never slept with Sarah.
01:02:02So 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, you 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 moved for jokes.
01:02:28Where are you guys?
01:02:29Tom, Daisy.
01:02:30You can't find your son.
01:02:33Miss Holden?
01:02:34Uh, sorry, what are you doing here again?
01:02:37I 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's been a huge misunderstanding.
01:02:51My friend stayed with Tom last night, so they're just probably out getting breakfast or something right now.
01:02:56Sarah, I'm so sorry.
01:02:57I got locked in the bathroom at the gala, and then my phone died.
01:03:00I just fucked up.
01:03:01Are you saying you didn't make it here last night?
01:03:04No.
01:03:06Where is Tom?
01:03:10Tom?
01:03:10Tom, please, please, where are you?
01:03:12Your babysitter never arrived to take care of your son, and now he's missing?
01:03:17This is very serious.
01:03:19Miss Holden, if you care about Tom at all, I need you to help me look for him.
01:03:23I will help Tom by calling the police and having you arrested.
01:03:28What?
01:03:29Tom needs to be placed in a safe home.
01:03:31Tom, and between your bikini photos at the campaign headquarters and the video of you egging Owen Carter on to
01:03:40hit our senator, you belong in prison.
01:03:44I don't have time for this bullshit right now.
01:03:47I need to find my son.
01:03:54Oh, my God.
01:03:56I was just at HQ, and I overheard someone saying that they saw your son.
01:04:00He's down by the river with some older man.
01:04:05Mom?
01:04:07I'm fine.
01:04:10Hi.
01:04:11Oh, my God.
01:04:12I was so worried.
01:04:14Hi.
01:04:16Where were you?
01:04:17When 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.
01:04:30Your child could have been killed while you were off doing God knows what.
01:04:35It wasn't her fault.
01:04:36Somebody locked me in the bathroom.
01:04:43You.
01:04:44You did this.
01:04:45You locked Daisy in that bathroom.
01:04:48Probably on Eleanor's orders.
01:04:50I'm willing to bet that you're also the one that made that call to Miss Holden.
01:04:55You know what?
01:04:57You mess with me.
01:04:58Fine.
01:04:59I can handle it.
01:05:01But you crossed a line trying to get my son taken away from me.
01:05:07I will kill you.
01:05:08I'm going to kill her.
01:05:09Hey, hey, hey.
01:05:10She's not worth it.
01:05:14Brittany, you can see yourself out now.
01:05:16Owen, I can explain.
01:05:17I was just trying to do this.
01:05:18Owen, please.
01:05:18You're fired.
01:05:20For everything I've done.
01:05:28I'll add assault to the list of things I need to report to the police and CPS.
01:05:34Poor 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, Dad?
01:05:51Yes.
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 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, then I don't have to call the authorities.
01:06:21I'm sorry.
01:06:23I'm sorry.
01:06:23I really was only trying to help Tom.
01:06:32Now, does anyone have a charger?
01:06:34I need to upload my videos.
01:06:36The public is waiting.
01:06:37Sure, Aunt Daisy.
01:06:47Thank you for saving us again.
01:06:52Well, it was all thanks to this little guy, concocting that story that I'm his father.
01:06:56The resourcefulness of a true politician.
01:06:59How'd you come up with that brilliant story?
01:07:02I told you.
01:07:03It's in my blood.
01:07:06Should I tell Owen now that he's Tom's father?
01:07:17Owen, meet your son.
01:07:21Tom.
01:07:22Tom.
01:07:25Owen Carter is your dad.
01:07:27For real.
01:07:30Tom?
01:07:32Tom's my son?
01:07:33You're my dad?
01:07:35No way.
01:07:36Way.
01:07:37Long way, but...
01:07:39Wait.
01:07:41Dad!
01:07:43I can't believe it.
01:07:46You know, it's strange, but I think I can believe it.
01:07:50You can't?
01:07:55Yeah, I, uh, talked to Joe.
01:07:58He said you two never...
01:08:00Yeah.
01:08:01You know.
01:08:01Yeah, um...
01:08:03Owen, listen, I'm really sorry.
01:08:06But I lied to you.
01:08:08I just...
01:08:09I thought this would ruin your career, and your mom had promised me that it would.
01:08:16She 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.
01:08:32Let bygones be bygones.
01:08:34So, 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.
01:09:00Dad, do you love mom?
01:09:04I 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.
01:09:23Is that...
01:09:24The 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.
01:09:33And it has.
01:09:37Sarah Watson.
01:09:39Will you marry me?
01:09:44Yes.
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.
01:09:57Oh, my God, the 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.
01:10:05Lose.
01:10:06No, no, 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.
01:10:15You were just protecting me.
01:10:16Too little, too late.
01:10:18It'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.
01:10:46You 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.
01:11:12My 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.
01:11:24And 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?
01:11:55You know, Mother, I'm not going to lose this race because 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.
01:12:23Let me see.
01:12:26Dear friends, I'm so grateful for all the hard work you've put into this campaign.
01:12:31But I regret to inform you that due to personal circumstances, I'm withdrawing my candidacy for mayor.
01:12:41No, 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 H&C.
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.
01:13:14Owen is not on the way.
01:13:19Mom, Dad, guess what?
01:13:21I won.
01:13:22I'm student council president.
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.
01:13:30Now.
01:13:34That'll be the results.
01:13:36I, I can't.
01:13:39Okay.
01:13:41Hello?
01:13:44Yeah.
01:13:46Yeah, I'll tell him.
01:13:53How 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.
01:14:21All I ever wanted was for you to be happy.
01:14:25I 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.
01:14:46Hey.
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,
01:15:02your entire world becomes about that child.
01:15:05And I know what it's like to not see straight,
01:15:08trying to protect them.
01:15:11And you're going to make plenty of mistakes, too.
01:15:13Trust me.
01:15:16You should forgive her.
01:15:33Now, who wants a victory photo?
01:15:36Never.
01:15:37Okay.
01:15:38One, two, three.
01:15:43You're going to make a great cover story.
01:15:47Oh, I'm so sorry.
01:15:49We're renovating right now.
01:15:50We?
01:15:51You 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 merry list.
01:16:03One small question that interests our readers.
01:16:06Is it hard for you to work together,
01:16:09live together, and raise a child together?
01:16:12Well, we have one rule at home.
01:16:14Whatever the argument, no matter who says what,
01:16:17the truth always wins in the end.
01:16:19And who decides what the truth is?
01:16:22Me.
01:16:22Do you have any other rules?
01:16:23Misty.
01:16:23Bye.
01:16:24Bye.
01:16:24Bye.
01:16:24Bye.
