[Women and men
talking in distance]

[Telephones ringing]

- And can we count
on your support

for candidate
Elizabeth Marshall?

[Door opening]

- My opponent has
had ample opportunity

as a 3-term governor

to make a dent
in the crime,

yet he seems apathetic
in doing so,

while my record with the DA's
office clearly demonstrates

that tackling crime
is a priority.

- You have sent a lot of people
to prison over the years.

- A lot of criminals.

- It's a good thing
for you felons can't vote.

- If you can't do the time...

- Speaking of time,
you're running out of it.

Seven points down with
less than a month to go.

- I prefer to think of it

as in 2nd place with
still a month to go.

[Chuckling]

- We're gonna have to
wrap this up.

- No problem. Thank you
so much for your time.

- Thank you!

We're 7 points down?

- We're gonna
make that up.

Campaigns are
about momentum.

- OK, well, we need
to find some and fast.

- You're supposed to do that
photo shoot with your daughter.

But she is late.
- Shocking!

- Also, there's a woman here
who wants to speak to you.

- About what?
- She wouldn't say.

She says it's a personal matter.

- Can I help you?

- There's a chance that
I might be your daughter.

- What makes you think
that you're Victoria?

- My mother, Carolyn,
she died a few weeks ago.

And I was going
through her things,

and I came across
a bunch of old articles

about your daughter's abduction.

She'd kept them for 27 years.

- And?

- One of the stories mentioned

how Victoria had a birthmark
on her right shoulder

in the shape of a heart.

[Lucy sighing]

- What about your father?

- He wasn't in my life.

- But you do know who he is?

- No.

Um, my mother said
that he was abusive,

and that's why we moved so much,
so that he couldn't find us.

- Who else knows you're here?

- Nobody.

Look, I--I wasn't even sure
that I was gonna come.

- Sorry I'm late.

- It's fine.

- Aren't we supposed to
have some photo shoot?

- This is my daughter, Terri.

Terri, this is--

I'm sorry, I don't
even know your name.

- Lucy. Lucy Pierce.

- Lucy thinks she
might be Victoria.

- What makes you think that?

- I have an identical birthmark.

- Hmm! So did the last woman.

- A couple of years ago,

a young woman came forward
claiming to be Victoria.

And Terri and I
were so hopeful

that we invited her into
our family immediately.

- She was a con artist
looking for a payday.

She even got a tattoo
of a heart birthmark.

- I--I don't want your money.

I just wanna know
if this is true.

Would you be willing
to take a DNA test?

[Knocking on door]

- I don't wanna interrupt,

but the photographer's
got a hard out,

so if we're gonna do this
mother-daughter photo shoot...

[Photographer talking,
indistinct]

- Try to relax a little, guys.
Just try to loosen up.

[Camera beeping and clicking]

- And that is it!

- Uh, do--do you need
anything from me?

- Nope, uh, Lucy and your mother
are all I need for a DNA test.

- Yeah, sure.

- How long is
this gonna take?

- Uh, I think I can have the
results by this time tomorrow.

You can come back then.

- Sure!

[Chuckling]

Thanks again, Dustan,
for keeping this quiet.

- Yeah, not a problem.

- This is the boost
maybe the campaign needs.

- Don't get too excited, OK?

We don't even know for
sure if she's Victoria.

- Yeah, but if she is,

it could be a
real game changer.

- Did you get
the internals?

- You and Vinick are virtually
neck-and-neck on social issues,

but you're way
ahead on crime.

- Which we expected.

- But he has a slight edge when
it comes to education reform,

and a big one when
it comes to family values.

- He's such a scumbag!

- He's a scumbag who
attends church regularly

and parades out his family
every chance he gets.

- You think this could level
the playing field,

I mean, the thing with
Victoria, assuming it's true.

- I'm counting on it.

Speaking of family,

I got a call from one
of my guys at the precinct.

- OK.

- Someone from Vinick's campaign
was asking about Terri.

- Did they
find something?

- You tell me.
Is there anything to find?

- I don't know.

Maybe.

- Elizabeth, you have to
tell me about these things

so that I can
get out ahead of it.

- Let's just keep her
out of the spotlight.

Start by shelving
the mother-daughter photos.

- Well, with a little
luck and a little time,

we'll have another daughter
to focus the spotlight on.

- The Victoria Marshall
abduction was a massive story.

The whole city
was freaking out.

Parents wouldn't let
their kids play outside.

I think you were on
a milk carton.

[Both chuckling]

- My God, it's not exactly the
claim to fame I was hoping for.

- How you holding up?

- Ah, it's just definitely
a lot to process, you know?

First my mom dying,
and then this.

- If it's even true.

- I hope it isn't.

Otherwise, my entire life
will be a lie.

[Sighing]

- The test came
back positive.

Um, you two are
mother and daughter.

- Your house is so nice.
I love how you decorated it.

- Thank you.

[Dishes clinking]

My father--

Your grandfather
was a developer,

and he did quite
well for himself.

[Clearing throat]

- And what about my--
our father?

- He was a doctor.

Uh, he had a heart
attack and passed away

when Terri was
still in high school.

- Oh.

I'm sorry.

- You would
have liked him.

- Terri was always
Daddy's little girl.

Um, so, you're a teacher?

- High-school English.
It's only my 2nd year.

And you are obviously
running for governor,

but, uh, you're also a lawyer?

- I am a prosecutor
with the DA's office.

- And what about you?

- I work at a
clothing boutique.

Yeah, it's--
it's temporary.

- Well, it's been
temporary for 6 months.

[Cell phone buzzing]

Oh!

I-- I'm sorry.
Just excuse me.

I have to take this.

Malcolm?

Yeah, she's right here.

[Elizabeth talking, indistinct]

- I'm not surprised
that you work in fashion,

given how you dress.

I really like your outfit.

- Oh, thanks.

- Maybe you should take me
shopping some time,

help me update my wardrobe.

- Yeah, sure.

[♪ Cell chiming ]

Oh, sorry.

- Yeah.

- Just...

- Uh, can you tell me
where the bathroom is?

- Oh, um, top of the stairs
on your right.

- OK, thanks.

- There you are!

- I was just looking for the
bathroom, and I saw this photo.

- Um, that was my
campaign manager

on the phone.

We were just discussing how to
reintroduce you to the public.

- We need a plan?

- Your abduction
was a big deal.

And add in the fact that
I'm running for governor,

this should be
a massive story.

- Oh...

- You wouldn't mind doing
a few interviews, would you?

- I don't know.

Um, I've never really done
anything like that before.

- Don't worry about it.
I'll do all the talking.

- I--I don't know.
It's really not my thing.

- There was a huge outcry of
support when you were taken.

And those people,

they really do deserve
to know what happened.

- OK, sure.

- Great. Thank you.

[Cameras clicking]

Thank you for coming.

[Sighing]

There is nothing

that I value more in this world
than my family.

And God has answered my prayers.

He's returned my
baby girl to me.

- [Woman]:
- What was growing up like?

- Normal.

- Could you expand on that?

- I mean, we didn't
have a lot of money,

but we were happy.

My mother, or the woman who
I thought was my mother,

um, she never missed
a ballet recital

or a science fair.

We moved around a lot,

so I didn't really have
a lot of close friends,

and I always considered her
to be my best friend.

She was an upbeat,
caring person,

and there was always a lot
of laughter and love,

which is why I'm finding a lot
of this really hard to believe.

- Do you have any idea
about her real identity?

- Uh, we're in touch with the
FBI, and they're working on it.

- [Man]:
If she were still alive,

what would you say to the woman
who abducted your daughter?

- Thank you.

- You'd want to thank her?

- Yes.

For raising such a beautiful,
strong, independent young woman.

- So you don't
harbour any resentment?

- Well, of course I do.

I mean, this woman
stole my chance

to see my daughter grow up,

to see her first steps,

say her first words.

She robbed me of my opportunity
to be a mother.

I just wish her father could be
alive to see his little girl.

But I know that he's
looking down, smiling at her.

- How do you think this news is
going to affect your campaign?

- Honestly, I--I haven't
given it any thought.

- [Woman]: Do you plan on
going on the campaign trail

with your mother?

- Um, we haven't really
talked about that.

- It would be great
if Lucy would come,

so we could spend
some time together

and get to know
each other.

But I don't want
to politicize this.

Education is one of the key
elements in my platform,

and I strongly
believe in it.

Lucy's a teacher, and from
what I hear, an excellent one,

so her priority needs
to be with her students.

♪ ♪

♪ ♪

- I don't know how I'm gonna
stay awake to teach tomorrow.

- Yeah, I'm sorry we went over
the schedule so much.

- How do you still have so much
energy when it's midnight?

- Caffeine.

- So, I have a
couple more interviews

lined up at
headquarters.

- For tonight?

- Satellite feed.
West coast.

- National coverage?

- Yeah.

- Listen, I know that
you're really tired,

but could you do
a couple more?

[Sighing]

- Do you think these interviews
are gonna take long?

- Hopefully not more
than an hour or so.

Once we're done, I will have the
driver get you right home, OK?

- OK.

[Beeping]

- It's your birthday.

I've always used your birthday
as my 4-digit pin code.

- 6-6-9-0.

- I never gave up hope that
one day I would see you again.

- Hey! Are you
good to do this?

- Yeah.

- OK, let's go.

- Lucy! Hey!

- Hey, Ryan!

- Uh, listen,
I know you must be sick

of talking about
everything and all,

but, uh, I was hoping
I could interview you, maybe.

- Am I gonna make
the front page?

- Yeah, definitely.

- I don't know.

I mean, the last few days, I've
talked to the New York Times,

Newsweekand
Good Morning America,

but I think I can
officially say I've made it

now that I'm gonna be
in the school newspaper.

[Chuckling]

- All right, well, um,
I'll find you at lunch?

- It's a date!

[Sighing]

- I can't believe how much press
Lucy's getting.

- I'm not surprised.

She seems really sweet
in all the videos I've seen.

- Seriously?
- What?

- Well, in the
last few days,

all I've heard is
"Lucy this, Lucy that."

I don't need to hear how
great she is from you too.

- I'm sorry!

- Hi, can I help you?

- I'm looking for
Terri Marshall.

- Yeah, that's me.

- Hi! I'm Chloe Mills.

I'm doing an article on
your sister's return.

I'm wondering if I could
ask you some questions.

- Wouldn't you
rather talk to Lucy?

- Ideally, I'll speak
to both of you.

The angle of my
story is sisters.

- Oh, yeah! Go ahead.

- Listen, I don't
wanna misquote you.

Is it OK if I record it?

- Sure!

- Great.

[Cell beeping]

- So, how's it been going
from being an only child

to suddenly
having a sibling?

- Good! Yeah, Lucy's
really sweet.

- So you two
get along well?

- Yeah, definitely.

- I'm a bit surprised,

considering how
different you two are.

- I wouldn't say that
we're that different.

- Really?

You grew up in affluence,
attending private school,

while Lucy was poor and
moving around all the time.

- I guess, but--

- As far as I can tell,

she hasn't been in
trouble with the law.

- Sorry, is this
story about sisters?

- It's about the idea of
nature versus nurture,

how someone could do
so well with so little

as compared to someone who's
had everything handed to her.

- Right. I have to go
back to work.

- Does your boss know
you've been arrested

for shoplifting clothes?

Why would someone in your
financial situation

need to shoplift?

- OK, this interview's over!

- Did your mother
use her influence

to get you out of
a drunk-driving charge?

- No!

- Last July,
you were pulled over,

blew over the legal limit,

yet they released you
without charges.

- She had nothing
to do with that!

- So, you admit to driving
while intoxicated?

How does it feel to suddenly be
the black sheep of the family?

- Can you please
get out of my way?

- How does it feel to suddenly
be the black sheep
of the family?

- Can you please
get out of my way?

It looks worse
than it is, Mom.

- It looks like
you assaulted her.

- She ambushed me!

[Elizabeth groaning]

Can they prove that you
got me out of that charge?

[Sighing]

- I don't think so.

- OK, good!

- God only knows how far back
this is gonna set me.

- Well, take a couple more
selfies with Lucy,

and I'm sure your approval
rating will shoot back up.

- Terri, you know I wish
I could have you help me.

We talked about this
when I decided to run.

OK, you've made a lot
of poor choices.

And the more you're
in the public eye,

the more things like
this are gonna happen.

Why did you even agree
to do this interview?

- Oh, so you and Lucy can
talk to whoever you want,

but the first time the reporter
wants my opinion, then--

- She didn't want
your opinion.

Chloe Mills is
a fringe journalist.

All she cares about is
click-bait and controversy

and driving traffic
into her website.

- So, then why did you do
an interview with her?

- Because she has
a lot of readers.

- You're saying she was just
trying to make me look bad?

- No, she wanted
to make me look bad.

Vinick is dropping in
the polls, and he's desperate.

Who knows, he might have even
paid her to do the story.

- Then this is
your fault. Yeah!

If you hadn't decided
to run for governor,

then none of this
would be happening.

- Right, it is my fault that
my daughter decided to get drunk

and get behind
the wheel of a car.

[Elizabeth sighing]

- Look, I'm sorry, OK?

I won't do any
more interviews.

- No, you know what? I don't
want you to be sorry, OK?

I want for you
to make a change.

- What's that
supposed to mean?

- You're still living
at home rent-free!

OK, I pay your
credit-card bills.

I pay your car payment.

Honey, you dropped
out of college,

and you're working now
for minimum wage.

And every night, you go out to
a different bar and get drunk.

Don't you want a little
more meaning to your life?

- Of course I do.

- Then I think
it's about time

that you use your sister
as an example and grow up.

[Children shouting in distance]

[Sizzling]

I like your apartment.
How long have you lived here?

- [Lucy]:
About 6 months.

- It reminds me of
being back in law school.

- Yeah, it's a great
size for the rent.

And I'm gonna need
the extra space

if random strangers
keep sending me stuff.

- Everyone loves baby Victoria!

- Hey, so I heard on the news
today that you're in the lead.

- Yeah! The latest poll
has me up 3 points.

- That's great!

- A lot of it
is thanks to you.

Dinner smells great.

- Thanks. It's, uh...

I hope you're not expecting
anything too fancy.

- It's just nice to have
a home-cooked meal.

- Are you not much of a chef?

[Chuckling quietly]

- Sorry.

- Uh, actually, I, um,

I'm usually still at the
office when it's dinnertime.

We had a nanny who
cooked a lot of our meals.

- Was your mother a good cook?

- Um, yeah!

She liked to bake, actually.

Uh, we did a cooking class
together once.

- Wow!

God, we've never even
taken a vacation together.

- I should've asked.

Is there, um, anything that
either of you guys can't eat?

- Um, actually,
I'm allergic to shellfish.

- Me too!

- Really?
- Yeah!

- Wow!
- Mm-hmm.

- OK, so let me ask you this:

Are you allergic to bee stings?

- I am.

- Wow!

[Lucy chuckling]

- Hmm!

- What about you?

Are you allergic to
either of those things?

- No. No.

- Well, I guess that
makes you the lucky one.

[Chuckling]

- Yeah.

[Wine pouring]

- [Elizabeth]:
How old were you here?

- [Lucy]:
About one.

- You look like Victoria.
I mean, obviously.

[Chuckling]

I, uh, I only had photos of you
from the hospital.

- I'm sorry, I...

I just didn't
know what to do

with all these
old photos that I have.

- It's fine.

Really.

- Let me get you
some more wine.

- Thank you.
- Yeah.

- So, I, um,
I saw your manuscript.

Are you writing a book?

- I am.

My dream is
to be a novelist.

- Then why become
a teacher?

- Ah, I have so many student
loans to pay off,

I figured it
wouldn't be wise

to become a starving artist
and build up more debt.

- How much do you owe?

- Oh, it's fine.

With my teacher's salary,

I should have it all paid off
by the time I'm retired.

- Hmm...

You know, I, uh, I'd like
to pay it off for you.

- Oh, that's a really,
really generous offer,

but I can't accept that.

- Why not?

- Because it's way
too much money.

[Food sizzling]

- You know what?
I paid for Terri.

And had you grown up with me
like you were meant to,

I would've paid
for you too.

- I know,
but honestly, it's OK.

- No. No buts.

I'm gonna pay for it
whether you like it or not.

- Oh, OK.

Thank you.

[Smoke detector beeping]

[Lucy gasping]

- Careful.

- [Whispering]:
Oh God!

[Cell ringing]

- Oh, excuse me.

- That's a relief.

- Hello?

I wonder how
that burnt so badly.

- Yeah. Don't know.

- That was the FBI agent
that's handling your case.

They figured out the identity of
the woman who abducted you.

- Her real name
was Marsha Summers.

- Who was Caroline Pierce?

- She was a woman who died
before you were born.

Marsha took her identity.

- I don't understand.

If nobody knew who abducted me,

then why did she
even need a new identity?

- I guess she wanted to
keep one step ahead

in case we ever figured
out it was her.

Did you know she had
a child before you?

- No.

- Baby girl,

died the year before
you were abducted.

- Wait a minute.

What did you say her
full name was again?

- Marsha Summers.

- I knew her.

- You did?

[Exhaling sharply]

Marsha Summers was part
of a class-action suit

that was made up of parents

whose children died from adverse
reactions to one of their drugs.

When I graduated
from law school,

I was the Associate
General Council

to the pharmaceutical company.

- So taking me
wasn't random...

- No, she was
getting back at me.

[Sighing]

- She must have been
so distraught.

- That didn't give her
an excuse to do what she did.

- Are you OK?

[Sighing]

- The drug company knew that
they were responsible

for those children's deaths,

and they wanted to settle.

And I...

I convinced them
that we could win.

- You were just
doing your job.

- No.

I was trying to
help my career.

I saw an opportunity,
and I took it.

I was pregnant with you,

and I never even considered

those poor parents
and their loss.

Had I just given that
woman her money...

- It's not your fault.
It's her fault.

And I'm sorry if it felt
like I was defending her.

It's just, my entire life,
she was my mother.

I loved her.

I can't just
turn it off.

- I'm sorry
I snapped at you.

[Siren wailing, car honking]

You did great tonight.

- Thanks. I'm feeling better
about my public speaking.

- I could tell!

And who knows, maybe you have
a future in politics too.

- I wouldn't go that far.

[Both chuckling]

- So, are you still good
to come to the fundraiser?

- Yeah. Yeah.

- I need you to charm
the pants off of my supporters

so that they write some cheques.

- OK, no pressure.

[Both laughing]

- Do you have a cocktail dress?

- Uh, I do,

but I think it's probably
a few years old.

Maybe I could borrow
something from Terri.

- Actually, why don't
we get you a new dress?

[Cell ringing]

It'll be my treat.

- Oh, you don't have
to do that.

- I know I don't have to,
but I want to.

- Do you have the time?

- No, but I'll make it.

- There's a call for you
from a publisher.

- OK.

[Clearing throat]

[Sighing]

Elizabeth Marshall.

- So, thank you for all the help
you're doing for the campaign.

- I'm happy to do
whatever I can,

especially now that I hear
how expensive everything is.

I had no idea!

- Oh yeah, we can't compete with
Vinick's ad campaign,

but, you know, the good press
that you've brought us,

that's priceless.

- So, there's a publishing house

that wants to put
a book out on us.

And they are willing
to pay us an advance.

- So, we'd write it together?

- Well, he thought
it might be interesting

to get each of
our perspectives.

- That sounds great!

- What do you think?

- I think that Vinick
is a 2-term governor

without a book deal!

- Exactly!

- Now, I know you
don't have time

to actually start writing it,

but even announcing the deal
would be great PR.

- I hear you.

We're gonna work out
the details in a couple of days.

[Giggling]

- Congratulations!

It looks like your dream
of being a paid author

is gonna come true
sooner than you expected.

- [Chuckling]: Yeah!

[Laughing]

- Hi!

- You guys were
out shopping?

- Yeah, Elizabeth took me
to buy a dress

for this fundraiser thing.

- Looks like you got
something new to wear

for every day
of the campaign.

- Yeah, I guess we went
a little overboard.

- We forgot to
buy you shoes.

You know what?
I have an idea.

Terri, why don't you grab
some of your shoes

and let Lucy
try them on?

- Do you mind?

- Of course she doesn't mind.

- Sure, it's no problem.

- Come on, I'll get you
a glass of wine.

- OK.

- You've done really
well for yourself.

And Terri, right now,
she's a little bit lost.

I really think that you could be
a positive role model for her.

And Lord knows she could use
some motivation in her life.

Yeah.

[Glasses clinking]

- Hey!
- Hey!

- Here, see if
one of these works.

- Oh, thank you!

Um, OK, let's
try these ones.

- Hey, um, my friend Shelby and
I are going for drinks tonight,

if you wanna come.

- Ah, I'm not really much
for the bar scene.

- You know what, actually,
I think it's a really good idea

for you two to spend
some time together.

- Yeah, definitely!

It's just that I have
to teach in the morning,

and I've been
neglecting my job--

- A couple of hours.
It's not gonna hurt you.

[Chuckling]

OK. Sure.

Sounds like fun.

[♪ Beyond Our Meansby Foxtrott
on sound system ♪]

It takes some
getting used to, huh?

- What does?

- Going from being an only child
to having a sister.

- Oh, well, you've been with me
since the second I was born.

- How?

- Every time I got a C
on a report card

or brought home a guy
that she didn't approve of,

I felt like I was being
compared to you,

that she wished it was me
who was taken instead of you.

- I'm sure that
that wasn't true.

- Oh, I wouldn't be so sure.

In her mind,
you were perfect.

And then you show up,

and you are!

- You're Victoria
Marshall, right?

- Uh, yeah.

- Yeah, I saw you
on the news.

Um, my mom says she took me
to a candlelight vigil for you

when I was, well, three.

[Laughing]

- Thanks?

- Um, do you think I could take
a selfie with you to show her?

- If you buy us a round.

- Uh, yeah, OK.

[Camera clicking]

[Terri talking indistinctly
and Lucy laughing]

- Thanks! No, I'm good!

- Oh no!

I don't think so.
- Oh!

Come on. Here.

growing up, you were being
judged against me.

- It's not your fault
that I felt that way...

or that you're such
a goody-goody.

[Laughing]

- That's not true!

- OK, school teacher!

Tell me something
about yourself

that would make me
change my mind, then.

- Um...

OK, so, the seniors,

some of them
are really cute,

especially this one guy,

the editor of the
school newspaper, Ryan.

- Wait, are you--are you hooking
up with one of your students?

- What? No! No!
Definitely not.

- Oh.

- OK, but sometimes I find

Ryan checking me out.

And I might play it up.

[Both laughing]

- OK, yeah.
I'm gonna need details.

- OK, like,

I might undo a top button,

or, like, bend down
to pick something up.

- Hmm!

Hey, it would be
a way better story

if you let him bend
you over your desk.

- Yeah, like a
front-page story!

[Laughing]

[Chuckling]

I'm really glad
we did this.

- Yeah, me too.

[Sighing]

- You're a bad influence.

- Better get used to it.

Drink up, buttercup!

[Giggling]

Ooh!

Mmm!

[Exhaling sharply]

- I'm so sorry, Principal Carr!
My alarm didn't go off.

Sorry that I'm late.
I will give myself a detention.

Uh, could everyone please
open their books

to page, uh, let's see...

[Students laughing]

[Girl whispering, indistinct]

OK, everyone.
Please put your phones away.

Right, and what's
everyone looking at?

- Um...

[Clearing throat]

We, uh, we know
why you're late.

[Students whispering,
indistinct]

[Girl giggling]

[Lucy and man breathing
heavily on video]

- How could she do this?

- This is being picked up by
legitimate news agencies now.

[Sighing]

- You know, we don't discuss
matters involving my family.

- You would at least have to
drop her from the schedule.

All she could do now
is harm the campaign.

[Sighing]

- What's Kolbie Gaines
doing here?

- Uh, we're discussing
debate rules.

- You know, I didn't
think it was possible,

but I think that she's an
even bigger scumbag than Vinick.

- It is possible.

- Malcolm!

- Hi, Kolbie.
You look well.

- Hello, Kolbie!

- Elizabeth,
nice to see you.

Congratulations on your
little surge in the polls.

- I wouldn't call
15 points "little."

- Well, the timing
of your daughter's return

was definitely fortuitous.

If I didn't know better,

I'd say you hired
someone to pose as her

for the sake of
the campaign.

- You know what?

I think that might be
more of your style.

[Chuckling]

- Shame about the
sex video, though.

That must be so
embarrassing for poor Lucy...

and for you.

- Let's go and
discuss the rules.

- I'm ready!

- Great.

- I hadn't eaten dinner,

and I'd had, like,
way too much to drink.

I've never done anything like
that before in my entire life.

- I get it, but not
only are you a teacher,

you're a high-profile one.

- I--I know. I know that this
reflects so poorly on me.

- Well, it reflects poorly on
the entire school, Lucy.

- Which I sincerely
apologize for.

It's, like, impossible
to be more embarrassed

than I already am.

- The problem is that
your behaviour violates

your Code of Professional
Practice and Conduct.

And I've received
a couple calls from parents.

- What are they saying?

- That they don't want you
teaching their child anymore.

And I also heard from
the head of the school board.

You're being suspended.

- For how long?
- Two days.

Look, the board just wants
to make it clear that

you aren't receiving
special treatment

because of your family.

You're entitled to grieve
this with your union.

- No, I'm willing
to accept my punishment.

I--I just wanna
put this behind me.

- I'm glad.

You're a good
teacher, Lucy,

and a popular one.

A big part of that is because
you can relate to teenagers.

But that doesn't mean
you can act like them.

[Sighing]

[Staff talking, indistinct]

[Talking stops]

[Sighing]

- Lucy!

- There's something I need
to talk to you about.

- The video.

- I'm so embarrassed.

I don't know how it happened.

I mean, I do.

But I need you to know

that that's not
the kind of person I am.

And I just hope that
it doesn't affect your campaign.

- Don't worry about it.

[Sighing]

OK.

Thanks for understanding.

It's been a really rough day,

and I really
appreciate your support.

- Actually, uh, I was
meaning to call you.

A few of our key donors
can't make it tonight,

and so we're gonna
postpone the fundraiser.

- Oh, that's too bad.

I guess the next thing
you need me for

is that Chamber
of Commerce event?

- Actually, um, we're kind
of revamping our message,

so our entire
schedule is in flux.

- OK.

Well, um,
just keep me posted.

- Absolutely.

Um, I need to
get back to work.

- Of course, no problem.

[Staff whispering, indistinct]

- Come here.

God, I feel horrible!

I shouldn't have kept
pouring you those drinks.

And I definitely should have
kept a better eye on you.

- It's not your fault.

It's mine,

and whoever it was
that filmed it.

- Yeah. I guess it was someone
who recognized you, huh?

- God, why would someone
do that to me?

- I don't know. Maybe they
thought it would be funny?

[Both chuckling]

- Yeah, really hilarious.

I was suspended.

- Ah, really?

- Yeah.

- Apparently I violated some
morality clause in my contract.

It goes on my permanent record.

- Oh man, that's...

Well, I looked all over for you,
but, you know,

one minute you were there,
the next minute you were gone.

- I just barely even
remember it happening.

- Been there, trust me.

Well, you know,
take it from me.

You just gotta put it in
the past and move on, OK?

Hey, and look
on the bright side!

At least you didn't have to go
to that lame fundraiser.

It looked
boring as hell!

- You were there?

- Yeah, but, you know,
only for a second.

Mom forgot her heels and
asked me to bring them.

[Chuckling]

- Hey! Don't be offended that
she uninvited you, OK?

You'll be the prodigal
daughter again

once all of this blows over.

[Pen hitting table]

- Hey, can we talk?

- It's been a long day.
Can this wait till tomorrow?

- It'll just take a minute.

- Fine.

- Can we go
somewhere private?

There's a story about you
agreeing to a book deal?

- I'm sorry.

I wanted to let you know

before you heard it
someplace else.

- I thought we were supposed
to write it together.

- We were.

- Then why are you
doing this to me?

[Sighing]

- You did it to yourself.

- How?

- By getting drunk and
having sex in public.

- You told me not to
worry about that.

You said that it
was no big deal!

- No, I told you not to worry,
but of course it's a big deal.

My entire day was spent
talking about your sex video.

- I'm sorry!

- Listen, I did this as much
for you as I did for me.

- How?

- If I'm trying to
keep you out of the press,

I can't have you be
a part of the story

that I'm pushing
to replace it.

- So this isn't punishment
for making you look bad?

- No. It's to save my campaign
from going into a tailspin.

- OK, I get that.

But do you have any idea

how much I was looking forward
to writing that with you?

- Do you have any idea
how embarrassing it is

to talk about your
daughter's sex life?

- Yeah, probably almost
as embarrassing as it is

to have the entire Internet
able to see your sex life.

- Actions have
consequences.

- I know you lied
about your fundraiser.

- OK.

- And your message
wasn't revamped.

You went to every campaign stop
that we were scheduled to go to.

- What do you want
me to say, Lucy?

- The truth would be nice.

- Fine.

You were good
for my campaign,

and now you're not.

- Say what you want about
the woman who raised me.

She would never
treat me like this.

- Well, I'm sorry if I can't
live up to the standards

of a psychotic,
vindictive criminal.

- So am I.

- What are you
doing here so late?

- Sorry, I didn't know
who else to talk to.

- What's wrong?

- She was just so mean to me.

- Who, Mom?

- I mean, I get that
she's upset, but...

How can someone treat
their daughter like that?

- I'm sure she didn't mean it.

- No, she did.

I feel like...

I feel like
I just lost one mother

and now I'm losing another.

[Sniffling]

You said our
dad was nice?

- Yeah. He was the best.

- What was he like?

- Hmm...

Laid back,

supportive, fun.

Kind of the
opposite of Mom.

[Chuckling]

- Do you miss him?

- Yeah. All the time.

- I really wish I could've
gotten to meet him.

The daughters of King Lear
were initially in 2 camps.

Goneril and Regan joined
forces against Cordelia.

They resented the fact that she
was their father's favourite.

And in fact, Cordelia's life
would have been in danger

had she remained in England.

- Ms. Pierce, you need to come
to the office with me.

- Is everything OK?

- Come with me.

Lucy, this is
Detective Dorsett.

- I'm gonna need you to come
down to the precinct with me.

- But I'm in the middle
of teaching a class.

- You need to
go with him.

- Can you tell me
what this is about?

- We can discuss that
when we're at the station.

- Does this have
something to do with Ryan?

- Just go.

[Door opening]

- Can you please tell me
what's going on?

[Grunting, sighing]

- We have reason to
believe you're involved

in a sexual relationship
with one of your students.

[Chuckling]

- That--that is not true.

- Your principal
thinks otherwise.

- The student,
is it Ryan Kennedy?

- Yes.

- And what makes
Principal Carr think that?

[Sighing]

- He received
an anonymous email.

It included an exchange

that supposedly took place
between you and Ryan,

where you discuss
a sexual relationship.

- I--I never wrote that!

- Did you ever send him
nude photos of yourself?

- Of course not!

- So those aren't you?

- That's my face,
but these--

these must have been
Photoshopped.

- Whoever's doing it
is going to a lot of trouble.

Is that your birthmark?

[Scoffing]

- Yeah, I mean,
it looks like it.

- The rest of the body,
does it resemble you?

- Yeah, it resembles me,
but it's not.

- Are you sure?

- Yes, I'm sure,

because I've never once
posed for nude photos

in my entire life!

- We may have to
ask you to disrobe

so we can make a comparison.

[Chuckling]

It'll be with
a female officer.

- Somebody is screwing with me,

and you want me to strip down
in a police station?

[Clearing throat]

For now, I'm gonna have someone
in IT examine the evidence.

If it's fake, we should be able
to find out soon enough.

But if I confirm
that it's authentic,

you'll be charged with
institutional sexual assault.

- Can I go to prison for that?

- Oh, you'll go to jail.

Unless you confess to me
before Ryan does.

[Chuckling]

- He won't.

- You think Ryan's
gonna stay loyal to you?

- He won't confess because
there is nothing to confess.

- See, the thing is,

Ryan admitting to sleeping
with his attractive teacher,

that gets him
a slap on the wrist

and high-fives
from his classmates.

I'm sure he's gonna
wanna stay loyal to you,

but if he did this,
I'll get him to talk,

and when he does,
you're done.

- I want a lawyer.

[Door closing]

Thank you for coming.
I didn't know who else to call.

- Lucy, what's going on?

- They're accusing me of having
sex with one of my students.

- What?

- I swear I didn't do it!

- Well, what makes them
think that you did?

- They have, like, emails

that they claim are between
this kid, Ryan, and I

and nude photos.

But they're fakes!

- Lucy, you need to
speak to a lawyer.

- Yeah, that's why I called you.

- No, a--a defence lawyer.

I'm a prosecutor.

If they charge you,

then it's my office that's
gonna try to convict you.

And regardless, I--

It's a conflict of interest
for me to represent you.

- I--I fully understand.

[Sighing]

I--I'm so sorry about
the other night.

I'm just really glad you're
here to support me now.

- How long before
this breaks?

- It already has.

- Seriously?

- Someone in this precinct
must be on Vinick's payroll.

This place is gonna be
crawling with reporters.

- My God, it hasn't
even been a year

since I convicted that teacher
of having sex with a student!

It was front-page news.

- This could not be worse.

- OK, so how do
we spin it?

[Chuckling]

- We're not gonna spin it.

You're gonna
publicly condemn her.

- No, I'm not throwing
Lucy under the bus.

- If you don't,
you lose the election.

- If I do,
I lose my daughter!

- This Victoria or Lucy,
whatever her name is,

she's a stranger to you.

She's quite possibly
a sex offender.

[Scoffing]

- Lucy swears that
she's innocent.

- You know who else swears
that they're innocent?

Every single criminal
you ever sent to prison.

- Well, she claims
that she was set up.

I mean, could
Vinick possibly--

- No. Even this is
too low for Vinick.

Elizabeth, you've
built your reputation

on being tough on crime.

That is the entire
thrust of the campaign.

It's bad enough
you being accused

of using your influence
to get Terri out of trouble.

Now, you help Lucy out?

You're gonna be
branded a hypocrite.

- I don't know what to do.

- You have to decide right now
what's more important,

a daughter you have
no connection to

or your career.

- What's going on?

- Lucy, I need to make
a statement to the press.

- OK.

- I need to distance myself
from what's happening here.

[Chuckling softly]

- You mean distance
yourself from me.

- This scandal could hurt
my chances at getting elected.

- And it's going to
destroy my life.

- I'll get you the best lawyer.

- I don't want your help.

[Breathing unevenly]

Get out.

Get out!

- I'm sorry.

- Terri?
I need your help.

After 27 years apart, I was
reunited with my daughter, Lucy.

I've recently learned
that Lucy is suspected

of having an
inappropriate relationship

with one of her students.

I was shocked and dismayed
by these serious allegations.

There have been suggestions
made by my opponent

that I might attempt
to use my position

to influence this investigation.

In the interest of transparency,

I want to state
publicly and emphatically

that I will not have any contact
with the police

or with Lucy Pierce until
this matter is concluded.

- [Reporters]:
Ms. Marshall! Ms. Marshall!

- Thank you very much
for your time!

- There's a cab waiting for you.

- You're letting me go?

- Yes.

- So, what, does that mean
that you're not charging me?

- For the time being, but the
investigation's still ongoing.

- And how long
is that gonna take?

- Oh, believe me, you're on
the top of my to-do list.

- I'm just happy to be
getting out of here.

- Careful what
you wish for.

I'll be in touch.

- Hey, Lucy! Lucy!
Can we get some answers?

Please, can you tell
us what happened?

Wait!

[Reporters shouting, indistinct]

Anything! Anything!
Could you tell us anything?

[Panting]

- I have the latest numbers.

[Clearing throat]

- And?

- You're 4 points behind.

- Well, all things considered,
4 points down isn't bad.

- No, we are trailing
Vinick by 4 points.

And it's gonna
get worse.

- What makes you say that?

- He scheduled stops at
a couple of high schools today

to talk about his
education plan.

- Because all he
really cares about

is putting "teachers"
in the news.

- He's gonna keep fanning
those flames as long as he can.

- Well, we can't
keep retreating.

We have to go
on the offensive.

- I would love to, but we
have more pressing news.

- Which is what?

- We're almost broke.

- But what about our donors?

- A lot of our donors are
pulling their support.

Most of them.

- So, are they pulling it

because they don't wanna
be associated with me,

or are they pulling it

because they think that
it's a waste of money

to back my campaign?

- Both!

[Sighing]

- Principal Carr! Hey!

- You shouldn't be here!

- I waited until
the end of the day.

- It doesn't matter. You
shouldn't be on school grounds.

- OK, I'll go,

but I need to you to know
that none of this is true.

The police are gonna
figure it out,

and they're gonna
clear my name.

- Nobody from the school board's
been in contact with you?

- No.

- Well, you've been fired.

- What?

- The board held an emergency
meeting this afternoon

and voted to terminate
your contract.

- But the police are
still investigating,

and I haven't been
charged with anything yet!

- I'm sorry. This is
out of my hands.

[Breathing heavily]

[Scoffing]

- [Reporter]: Lucy! Lucy!
Can we get some answers?

Please, can you tell us
what happened?

What happened?

[Doorbell ringing]

- Hey!

- What do you want?

- To see how you're doing.

- How do you think I'm doing?

- I'm sorry Mom
didn't support you.

- Yeah, I guess you saw
that press conference

where she called me a child
molester and disowned me.

Oh! Right!

You were standing
right next to her.

- Look, I feel
really bad, OK?

I--I know it must seem like
I've turned my back on you.

- Because you did.

- OK.

She needed me.

No, she wanted me there.

I don't expect you
to understand,

but, well, for a second,
that felt really good.

You've been getting
all this attention,

and well, for once, I...

I guess I wanted
some myself.

So, yeah, fine,
call me selfish,

but it doesn't change the fact
that I feel really bad for you.

- OK, you've cleared
your conscience.

You can go.

- No.

I'm not leaving.

- Well, I don't
want you to stay.

- Tough!

I'm standing by you
whether you like it or not,

'cause that's
what sisters do.

- I'm sure that once you
clear your name, it'll--

- If I clear my name.

- You will!

[Sighing]

Right?

- Are you asking me if
I had sex with Ryan?

- It's just that
that night at the bar,

you said that you
had a crush on him.

- No!
- I just thought--

- I didn't sleep with
one of my students.

I know that this is
gonna sound crazy,

but I feel like
I'm being set up.

- What?

Do you think this could have
something to do with Vinick?

- Wait, you mean, like,
this is about the campaign?

- Well, Mom thought that
Vinick paid that reporter

to come after me, so...

- Really?

- Yeah.

We look bad, Mom looks bad.

Right?

- What if this is
connected to the video?

- No, no. I'm sure that was
just some perv with an iPhone.

[Cell buzzing]

- Hello?

Yeah, sure.
I'll be right there.

That was the detective
in charge of my case.

He wants me to come
down to the station.

- OK.

- Would you mind
coming with me?

I hope it's OK that
I brought my sister.

- Absolutely. So nice of you
to lend your support.

- So, do you have an update?

- Yeah, I do.

I had someone from
cyber crimes look into it.

He was able to access
the data logs and confirmed

that the conversation between
you and Ryan never took place.

- That's great!

And the photos?

- Also fake.

- So, do you have any
idea who's behind all this?

- Maybe.

Would you mind
coming with me?

So, I've been thinking about
that video of you at the bar.

And once I confirmed your story

that someone was trying
to make you look bad,

I figured maybe
they're connected.

So I contacted the website
that posted it.

Lucky for me, it wasn't
sent anonymously.

The person who took it
wanted to get paid.

Not a lot, but enough,

which is funny because I didn't
think she needed the money.

- [Lucy]: So you know
who shot the video?

- I did.

Look, everyone thought
you were perfect, OK?

And I wanted to
prove them wrong,

so I tried to embarrass you.

But I had nothing to do with any
of this other stuff, I swear!

- Then how do you explain the
email sent to Lucy's principal

came from your IP address?

- No, that's impossible!
- You bitch!

- Enough!
- You ruined my life!

- Step back!

- You need to leave.

And you...
you're under arrest.

- [Whispering]: What?

- You're a
reporter, right?

- Repeat that.

Uh, we have no comment
at this time.

- What's the matter?

- I just got a question
from a reporter

about the Lucy situation,

wants you to comment
on the fact

that Terri orchestrated
the whole thing.

- What?

- She's under arrest.

- Wait, Lucy!

- Oh, what are you--
What are you doing here?

- I heard what
Terri did to you.

I am so sorry!

- Let me guess.

You want me to stand
next to you on a podium

where this time
you disown Terri?

- You have every
right to be upset.

- I needed my mother,

and you weren't
there for me.

- You're right.

But if you could just
give me one more chance...

- You know what?

Some people were brought up
to forgive and forget.

I was raised that you
should treat people

the way you want
to be treated.

- I want you in my life.

- The only thing that you
have ever wanted me for

was to help with
your campaign.

- My soon-to-be former campaign.
I'm dropping out of the race.

- Why?

- There's no coming back
from what Terri did to you.

- I have to be
somewhere.

- And I lost you once.

I don't wanna
lose you again.

Whatever it takes to
fix things between us,

I'll do it.

- The evidence against
you is overwhelming.

- It's fake!

- We recovered the nude photos
of Lucy from your hard drive.

- Well, somebody must
have planted them there!

- You're expecting me
to believe

that someone broke
into your house,

went onto your
computer in your room,

uploaded a bunch of
fake images to frame you?

- Yes.

- You, the person who
already humiliated Lucy

by uploading her sex tape?

- Why can't you, for a second,
please just consider

that I might be
telling the truth?

- Because there are
3 things needed

for guilt to be established
in a criminal investigation:

means, motive and opportunity.

Now, guess how
many you have?

- I didn't do it.

[Clearing throat]

- You do know that your mother
has the reputation

for pushing for
maximum sentences.

- Yeah, so?

- So, the courts aren't gonna
wanna give the impression

of going easy on her daughter,

and the best way to do that
is to go hard.

But if you're willing
to confess...

- I didn't do it.

[Inhaling deeply]

- All right, let's go.

- What? Where?

- I'm processing you.

- You're making me
spend the night in jail?

- You better get used to it.

It might be a while before you
sleep in your own bed again.

[Sighing]

Get up.

- Wait.

When was that email
sent from my computer?

[Sighing]

- Tuesday, 11:43 p.m.

- That was the night
that I came home,

and I found Lucy
sitting on my bed.

- Please tell me you're not
suggesting Lucy framed herself.

- It's the only thing
that makes sense!

- No, it doesn't make
any sense at all.

Now get up!
- What?

- Now you're just
wasting my time!

Get up!

- Nice job.

It's all there.

Guess you figure I'm
a lying politician, huh?

- "Lying politician"
is redundant.

- When you first came
to me with your idea

to sabotage your
mother's campaign,

I was sceptical,
but you pulled it off.

- My mother is dead.

- Do you plan on leaving town
now that you're done?

- I'm just getting started.

Are you really willing

to do whatever it takes
to fix things between us?

- I am.

- Then you know how you said
that if I had grown up with you,

you would've paid
for my college tuition?

- Yes.

- Well, I was thinking about it,
and if you had raised me,

you would've spent more
than that, way more.

- OK.

- And now that
Terri has destroyed

my future as a teacher,

I've decided to pursue my dream
of being a writer.

- That's great!

- But I don't wanna just get
a minimum-wage job

and only write part-time.

I really wanna go for it.

- So you want me to
support you financially.

- Yes.

I'm asking you
to invest in me,

in your daughter.

I'm... I'm asking you
to be my mother.

- I would love that.

- You know, I'd really hoped
that a night in jail

would convince you
you didn't wanna go back.

- Sorry to disappoint you,

but I'm not confessing to
something that I didn't do, OK?

It was Lucy.

- You know how you said
you uploaded that video

because you were jealous of all
the attention she was getting?

- Yeah?
- Well, today's your lucky day.

- What?

Hi, Mom.

- You posted bail?

- I--I didn't have to.
I was released on recognizance.

We need to talk.

- I don't have anything
to say to you.

- Please, Mom.
You have to listen.

- No, I don't.

- Look, this entire thing was
orchestrated by Lucy, OK?

She faked the emails,
the photos, all of it.

[Chuckling]

- You know what? You've pulled
a lot of crap in your life.

But doing this
to your sister,

and now you're
blaming her for it?

- Mom, please! You need--
You need to believe me!

- How can I believe you?

Every time you screw up,
it's never your fault.

When are you gonna start taking
responsibility for your actions?

- Listen, I know that my track
record isn't great, OK?

But this time I swear, Mom,
I'm telling the truth!

- No, I can't do this.

- Please, Mom, please!
You need to help me!

[Sighing]

- You know what?

Your entire life, I have bailed
you out of all of your messes,

and look where it got you.

Look where it got me!

From this moment forward,
you're on your own.

I want you to move
out of the house.

- Hey! You doing OK?

- I've been better.

- Here's a key
to my place.

- Thanks for letting me crash
and for sticking by me.

You're the only
person who has.

- Any idea how long
you'll need to stay?

- Until I can somehow prove
that Lucy's behind this,

or I go to prison!

- What reason would she have
for doing this to you?

- Payback.

I guess she figured out

that I was the one who shot
that video of her in the bar.

- That was you?
- Yeah!

It was a horrible
thing to do, I know.

- OK, say she did know.

There's easier ways
to get revenge

without her ruining
her own reputation.

- Yeah, I know. That's
why I'm so confused.

- And plus,
Lucy would have known

that this would hurt
your mother's chance

of getting elected!

- Oh my God!

Lucy's working with Vinick
to hurt my mom's campaign.

It would explain
why she's willing

to make herself look so bad.

- So you're the pawn?

- Yeah. My mom's
the main target.

[Children shouting in distance]

Thanks for meeting me.

- You said you
had a tip.

- I do.

It's about Charles Vinick
breaking the law

to sabotage my
mother's campaign.

- And why are you
coming to me with it?

- Because you have
something I need.

- Which is...

- Information.

I need to know
who, if anyone,

put you up to doing
that story on me.

- OK.

You tell me what
you already know,

and I'll answer
your question.

[Chuckling]

- No offence, but you
already played me once.

You're gonna have
to tell me first.

- It doesn't
work that way.

- Well, OK. Your call.

- Fine!

What do you
need to know?

- Are you working for
Vinick's campaign?

- Not exclusively.

- But you have taken
money from them?

- If they're gonna pay me

to look into a story
I'd write anyway,

I'm not gonna say no.

- So when you came
into my store,

Vinick's campaign
paid you to do that?

- They heard rumours about

your mother getting a
drunk-driving charge dropped,

but they couldn't
prove it,

so they had me do
a story on it.

- That's it?

- All they cared about

was that I made you and
your mother look bad.

- OK, so who did
you deal with?

- His Chief of Staff,
Kolbie Gaines.

- Well, anything else?

- After that sex
video came out,

they had me trying to track
down Lucy's ex-boyfriends

to see if she had
a history of public sex

or was into
anything freaky,

anything to keep
the scandal alive.

- But you couldn't
find anything on her.

- Before I had the chance, they
called to say to pull the plug.

- Why?

- Don't know. But, suddenly,
Lucy was off limits.

- Thanks.

- Hey, hey, hey! You're supposed
to tell me what you know.

- Yeah, I lied.
Payback's a bitch!

[Scoffing]

Lucy!

- Stay away from me or
I'll call the police!

- Lucy, it wasn't me!

It was someone connected
to Vinick's campaign.

Malcolm has a mole
who's working for Vinick.

- What do you mean, a mole?

- Someone on Vinick's payroll
is spying for Malcolm.

- Do you know who?

- No, but whoever
it is claims

that Vinick paid someone
to sabotage Mom's campaign.

My guess is they did it

by setting you up and
then framing me for it.

- But you don't know any
of this for a fact?

- No.

Malcolm's spy is trying

to get us evidence that
we can take to the police.

- Wow! How do
you know this?

- Mom told me.
- Really?

Last I heard, she kicked
you out of the house

and wasn't
talking to you.

- That was when
she thought I was guilty,

but now she knows different.

- Huh!

- Call her and ask her yourself
if you don't believe me.

- Why are you
telling me this?

- Because I need you to
believe that it wasn't me, OK?

Hopefully soon we'll
have the evidence

to prove who really is
responsible for all of this.

We can put it
all behind us.

- Yeah, hopefully.

- What's going on?

- Elizabeth knows
that you paid someone

to sabotage her campaign.

- How?

- Apparently, they have
a mole working for you.

- Where'd you hear this?

- Terri told me.

- Well, then you need to
find out who this mole is

before they can
find any proof.

- And if I can't?

- Then we both
go to prison.

- [Lucy]:
OK, I'll look into it,

but you need to do
some digging on your end too.

Who knows how long ago
you hired this person?

[Talking,
indistinct]

- You think this was
her plan all along?

- Either that or she
did it to get back at us

for the way that
we treated her.

So, do we take these
to the police?

[Sighing]

- They don't prove anything.

At least, not anything that
would keep you out of jail.

- I--I have time
before my trial.

How long until you have to
drop out of the race?

- I don't know.
About a day, maybe two.

- OK, well, that's how
long we have

to connect Lucy
to Vinick.

The question is...

how do we do it?

- We don't. Lucy does.

All of the bad things
that have happened

have had nothing to
do with you or Terri.

It's Vinick.

He's been trying to
ruin my campaign,

and I'm really sorry if you
got caught in the middle of it.

- It's not your fault.

And at least you have someone
on the inside with his campaign.

- Well, and, hopefully,
they can get us some proof,

and we can go
to the police.

- So, like, was this someone who
was already working for Vinick,

or were you able to get one of
your people a job with him?

- I don't know.

I mean, Malcolm is the one
who handles all of that.

I buffer myself from
that kind of stuff.

- Yeah.

So, only Malcolm
meets with him?

- Um, you know, I don't even
know if they meet face to face.

Whoever it is
generates these reports,

and, well, Malcolm
keeps the reports

and then he tells me whatever
he thinks that I need to know.

- Wow, this is
all so sneaky!

You don't know
who you can trust.

- No. We don't.

- So? Did she buy it?

- I guess we're
gonna find out.

[Alarm system beeping]

[Panting]

[Beeping stops]

- [Female voice]:
Disarmed. Ready to arm.

- Hey, I just, um, I left my bag
here last week and I--

- You can stop lying.

Terri planted a
recording device on you

before you met
Kolbie Gaines.

We know that you're
working with Vinick.

And now we have the evidence
of you taking the bait.

- There never was
any mole, was there?

- No.

You conned me, and so I
had to do the same to you.

[Chuckling softly]

Like daughter,
like mother, I guess.

And that's assuming that you
are actually my daughter.

- Yeah, you gave
birth to me.

But I'm not your daughter,

and I never will be.

- If you feel that way,
why did you come back?

- My real mother confessed
to me on her deathbed.

She told me how she took me from
you to give me a better life.

- And you believe that?

- I believe it
because she did.

- Hmm...

Wow!

That woman really
brainwashed you.

[Chuckling softly]

- Yeah, it's
called parenting.

- So, she was the one who sent
you back to take my money.

Well, you certainly
fulfilled her dying wish.

- It was her plan.

It wasn't mine.

I came back because
I wanted a family,

but you and Terri
were so horrible to me.

It made me realize

that I should've listened
to her in the first place.

- So, did Vinick approach you,
or was all of this your idea?

[Chuckling]

- I saw how a minor scandal
could hurt your campaign,

and it made me realize that
a huge one could destroy it.

I went to him.

- And then you
used my guilt...

so that you could get
paid again by me.

[Chuckling]

You know, you could have
been a good politician.

- Well, it looks
like I inherited

some of your devious
qualities after all.

- [Terri]:
So did I.

We didn't have the evidence
before, but we do now.

I've been recording
this entire thing.

It's over.
I'm gonna call the police.

- Wait! Hold on.

- What?

- I think it's about time
that I act like a parent

and protect my child.

So I'm gonna give you
till the morning

before we call the police.

That will give you
plenty of time

to get on a plane
and disappear.

- Wait, Mom!

After everything she's done,

how can you let her
get away with this?

- She's not getting
away with anything.

She's gonna have to be on the
run for the rest of her life

without any family.

I hope you have
a good life.

- Me too.

- I'll be out in a minute.

- Are you OK?

- If Lucy hadn't come back,
I--I doubt I would've won.

- Well, then I guess
all this was worth it.

- No. It wasn't.

- How long before
you officially take office?

- A couple of weeks.

Why?

- Well, I was thinking

maybe we could take our
first ever family vacation.

- Where would
you wanna go?

- Vegas?

- Well, that's not exactly
a normal family destination.

- We're not exactly

- I'll think about it.
