00:29:01even has a chance
00:29:01to start
00:29:02to be honest
00:29:03he's gonna give
00:29:04it all up
00:29:05himself
00:29:05because you're
00:29:06keeping this
00:29:07secret
00:29:07you're not
00:29:0918 anymore
00:29:10if Eleanor
00:29:11fights dirty
00:29:11you can
00:29:12fight back
00:29:13it's not just
00:29:14about me
00:29:16it's Owen
00:29:17if people find
00:29:19out that he
00:29:19had a kid
00:29:19out of wedlock
00:29:20in high school
00:29:22I mean
00:29:22he could lose
00:29:23this election
00:29:24his career
00:29:24could be over
00:29:25okay
00:29:26Sarah
00:29:27this is not
00:29:28the 1970s
00:29:29so what
00:29:30if he had
00:29:30a kid out
00:29:31of wedlock
00:29:31plenty of
00:29:32elected officials
00:29:33have done
00:29:34way worse
00:29:35Tom and
00:29:36Owen both
00:29:37deserve to
00:29:38know the
00:29:38truth
00:29:39you're right
00:29:41I'm sorry
00:29:48one criticism
00:29:49is that you're
00:29:50all style
00:29:51and no substance
00:29:52that you offer
00:29:53no real solutions
00:29:54to the issues
00:29:55well take small
00:29:56business for example
00:29:57I proposed we
00:29:59raise workers wages
00:30:00which places a
00:30:02financial burden
00:30:03on small businesses
00:30:04right
00:30:04how can anyone
00:30:06benefit if they
00:30:06can't afford to
00:30:07keep the business
00:30:08running
00:30:08yes
00:30:13you'll have to
00:30:14excuse me

00:30:16little trouble

00:30:25unfocused since that
00:30:25waitress advisor left
00:30:27he's stressed
00:30:29he's been focusing
00:30:30so much on the

00:30:33little feminine
00:30:35comfort
00:30:35my wish
00:30:37that would be my
00:30:38dream
00:30:38I've wanted
00:30:40Owen for years

00:39:08following up
00:39:09on your son's
00:39:10vandalism
00:39:11I don't know
00:39:12I don't know if you
00:39:12understand how much
00:39:14damage was done
00:39:15it looks even worse
00:39:17than
00:39:17your house
00:39:19oh
00:39:19oh
00:39:19um
00:39:21sorry 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
00:39:25to 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
00:39:34when they are neglected
00:39:36neglected
00:39:38I would never neglect
00:39:40Tom
00:39:41and he didn't act out
00:39:42he was framed
00:39:43oh well
00:39:43if you know the perpetrator
00:39:45I'd love to know
00:39:46she'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
00:39:53he would never act out like this
00:39:56the evidence says otherwise
00:39:58and
00:39:59ask the parent
00:40:01it is your responsibility
00:40:03to pay for the ninjas
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
00:40:25she's the one who did this
00:40:27in the first place
00:40:28and
00:40:28if I leave your house today
00:40:30without a check
00:40:31even she can't help him

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 and ask her about her salary
00:44:34that's it
00:44:35she'll answer
00:44:35it'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
00:44:47just in case
00:44:48it might be a little small on you
00:44:49but
00:44:50we are going to make it work
00:45:07where do you want me
00:45:09um

00:45:35so if you were paid more
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

00:50:01it's an honor

00:50:06I have managed to convince the senator
00:50:09to 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

00:50:30I'd like you to meet Sarah Watson
00:50:32it is my deep pleasure to meet you
00:50:38Sarah'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
00:50:46it's gonna be her fault not mine
00:50:48well if you all excuse me

00:51:04I like the sound of that
00:51:12tomorrow's the big day
00:51:14and we couldn't have gotten here
00:51:15without all your hard work and dedication
00:51:18so to sum up the journey
00:51:19we've all been on together
00:51:21my brilliant advisor
00:51:23my fairy Sarah
00:51:25has prepared a little presentation for us
00:51:32don't worry
00:51:33her world is about to completely fall apart
00:51:54great advisor

00:52:12until then
00:52:13I want you all to know
00:52:15that that woman you just laughed at
00:52:16the most talented hard-working 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
00:52:25and 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

00:57:48I'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.
00:58:28Good morning.
00:58:29Good morning.
00:58:36I missed you.
00:58:37I missed you too, but Owen, this scares me.
00:58:43What, the campaign?
00:58:45My mom?
00:58:46Look, Sarah, we're going to 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.
00:59:00Owen, 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.
00:59:18Tom...
00:59:21Is...
00:59:22Owen, are you in there?
00:59:24Oh, I got the two-mo.
00:59:25Um, I'll hide.
00:59:26No.
00:59:27We're together now.
00:59:29We have nothing to hide.
00:59:32I 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.
00:59:50You 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, 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.
01:00:30I 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.
01:00:41Excellent.
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, 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 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.
01:01:42All 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, and 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?
01:02:06No, Sarah came on to me that one time, kissed me, you saw us,
01:02:11then 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, hi, 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.
01:02:33Miss 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,
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, and then my phone died.
01:03:00But I just...
01:03:00Look, so, are 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, please, where are you?
01:03:12Your babysitter never arrived to take care of your son,
01:03:15and now he's missing?
01:03:17This 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?
01:03:29Tom needs to be placed in a safe home.
01:03:32And between your bikini photos at the campaign headquarters
01:03:36and the video of you egging Owen Carter on to hit our senator,
01:03:41you belong in prison.
01:03:44I 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.
01:04:10Hi.
01:04:11Oh, my God.
01:04:12I was so worried.
01:04:13Hi.
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,
01:04:23and 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 doing God knows what.
01:04:34It wasn't her fault.
01:04:36Somebody locked me in the bathroom.
01:04:42You.
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
01:04:51that made that call to 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 taken away from me.
01:05:07I will kill you!
01:05:07I'm going to kill her!
01:05:10She's not worth it.
01:05:13Brittany,
01:05:14you can see yourself out now.
01:05:15Owen, I can explain.
01:05:17I was just trying to do it.
01:05:18Owen, please, I...
01:05:18You're fired.
01:05:20I'm trying everything I've done.
01:05:28I'll add assault to the list of things
01:05:30I 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.
01:05:40Owen Carter is my father.
01:05:44Owen Carter is your father.
01:05:46Of course.
01:05:47Isn't that right, Dad?
01:05:50Yes.
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.
01:06:04Well, we didn't want it to get out.
01:06:06We were young and unmarried
01:06:08and 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.
01:06:31Now, 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.
01:06:52Well, it was all thanks to this little guy
01:06:53concocting 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.
01:07:02It's in my blood.
01:07:06Should I tell Owen now
01:07:07that he's Tom's father?
01:07:16Meet your son.
01:07:20Tom.
01:07:22Tom.
01:07:24Owen Carter is your dad.
01:07:26For 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, but...
01:07:39Way.
01:07:41Dad!
01:07:42I can't believe it.
01:07:46You know, it's strange,
01:07:47but I think I can believe it.
01:07:50You can't?
01:07:55Yeah, I, uh...
01:07:57Talked to Joe.
01:07:58He said you'd do never...
01:08:00Yeah.
01:08:00You know.
01:08:01Yeah.
01:08:03Um...
01:08:03Owen, listen, I'm really sorry
01:08:06that 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
01:08:12that 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.
01:08:27You had a right to all of those years
01:08:29with your son.
01:08:30Hey, people.
01:08:31Let bygones be bygones.
01:08:35So, are you and mom
01:08:38boyfriend 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.
01:08:53I don't know how to come back from that.
01:08:55I 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.
01:09:22Is that?
01:09:23The ring you were gonna propose to me with
01:09:25in high school?
01:09:26You kept it.
01:09:27I had hoped for so long
01:09:30that this moment would come.
01:09:33And 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 gonna be a family?
01:09:53I'm the mayor's son.
01:09:56Oh, my God.
01:09:57The election.
01:09:59Joe's video.
01:10:00We never made a rebuttal.
01:10:00What do we do?
01:10:02The only thing we can do.
01:10:04Lose.
01:10:06No, no, no, no, no, no.
01:10:07You can still win this.
01:10:09Nah, the polls are open.
01:10:10Joe's gonna win.
01:10:11No, no, I will.
01:10:12I'll go.
01:10:13I 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.
01:10:26The only truth that matters.
01:10:28That you're my son.
01:10:30We're gonna go to HQ with our heads held high.
01:10:33We're gonna say thank you to the volunteers and staffers.
01:10:36And we're gonna move right on to the next election.
01:10:40Because that's what we do.
01:10:42I'm sorry.
01:10:43You're right.
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, 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.
01:11:28So 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.
01:11:42Well, 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?
01:11:52Just 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 because 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.
01:12:20What?
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, but
01:12:32I regret to inform you that due to personal circumstances, I'm withdrawing my candidacy for mayor.
01:12:41No, 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.
01:12:59Okay, 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 over yet.
01:13:19Mom, Dad, guess what?
01:13:21I won.
01:13:22I'm student council president.
01:13:23What?
01:13:24What?
01:13:24That's amazing, buddy.
01:13:25Come here.
01:13:26Come here.
01:13:28You'll win too, Dad.
01:13:29I know it.
01:13:30Just now.
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.
01:13:52How bad is it?
01:13:54A 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 street you to be happy.
01:14:25I went about it the wrong way.
01:14:26But I never, I never meant to hurt you.
01:14:31I'm so, so sorry.
01:14:34You are my life.
01:14:39Please, 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,
01:15:08trying 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.
01:15:32Now, who wants a victory photo?
01:15:37Okay.
01:15:38One, two, three.
01:15:43You're going to make a great cover story.
01:15:47Oh, I am so sorry.
01:15:49We're renovating right now.
01:15:50We?
01:15:51You mean I 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 mayor you left.
01:16:02One 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.
01:16:23Ha, ha, ha, ha.
01:16:35�, ha, ha, ha.
01:16:37Ha, ha, ha, ha!
01:16:37You
