Original subtitles

You know I'm on my morning run. What's up?

Listen, I'm trying to run a campaign here.

If you think I'm gonna text youevery we need to talk

we've got a major problem.

Did you call her?

Who?

Don't play with me. The date I lined up for you tonight.

yeah

You're a liar.

Call her.

Okay. I'll call her.

Humor me on this, Russell. It'sfor the best.

Trying to convince some of theseold Atlanta community leaders

that a 27 year old can run thiscity isn't easy.

28

Whatever. You need a date on your arm, tonight.

She's a heart surgeon and she's gorgeous.

Trust me. It'll be a good look for you.

Please call this woman.

Todo Bien.

Todo Bien. Now can I finish my morning run?

One more thing.

Happy birthday.

The conference room is here.

We've got daily meetings there.

That's Amanda, you'll meet her later

If you wanna blow off a little bit of steam

I often do. There's the rec room.

And this is it. Your new homeaway home. God knows it's mine.

I'll have Camila help you get settled in.

She's knows her way around thisplace better than I do.

Camila. Camila, you have it from here?

I have to jump on a call.

Yep, I got it.

I almost forgot. We're having a formal gathering for

Russell's birthday tonight. Don't know if you can swing it

on such short notice, but we'd love it if you could make it.

Well, I guess I could dig up something from my closet.

Great. Call and have her name added to the guest list.

I'll take care of it.

Just let me know if you need anything.

Ok I will. Thank you.

Excuse me for a second

Where is your date?

I don't know. Have you seen her?

Don't play with me, Russell

I put a good amount of time andresources to make sure

your date was up to par-

Roberta, please. It's my birthday. Save your badgering

for tomorrow. Okay?

Besides, five minutes into that conversation

I knew she was not my type

I knew you would pull something like this

And yet you keep setting yourself up for disappointment.

If you'll excuse me, I've got some guests waiting.

Todo Bien?

Mhmm.

He's something isn't he?

He is

Glad you made it. How was your first day?

Pretty smooth. Camila was morethan helpful. Now, if I can just

convice her into helping me move ll the boxes in my living room

my life will pretty much be complete.

Come with me. I'll introduce youto the rest of the staff.

Okay.

Wow. This is really amazing. First, I'd like to thank

each and every one of you for being here tonight

in celebration of my birthday.

I'm humbled by your presence.

I grew up in a place wheresimply surviving from day to day

was the goal.

But, my grandmother taught meand my brother, Jules, to always

think outside the confines of Bowen Homes.

Before our grandmother passed away she would plant seeds

wisdom, and as they began togrow, our perspectives shifted.

I knew, sitting on the Old Truss Bridge, staring at the

Atlanta skyline, there was something bigger and better

for me out there.

All I had to do was be bold enough to go after it.

And, I did.

I owe my gratitude to August and Brenda King

adopting and raising me and my brother,

instilling purpose and showing us everything I

now aspire to become.

I'm grateful to have you both here with me tonight.

I love you both.

My late wife Dina, who many of you already know

She always believed in me

We had this pact

Always move in greatness

And as I look around this room

seeing all of your faces

reminds me that I am honoring that pact.

As my grandmother always said, 'You're only as strong as you

allow yourself to be.'

Never give up. Consistency willalways lead to success.

So come this January, I look forward to serving you all

As your new mayor.

"“Creating a secure foundation for our future"”

isn't about the people. It's therhetoric used to secure

votes so Russell Savage cancontinue to run your government

behind closed doors. Russell Savage, not your

choice for Atlanta's Mayor.

Paid for by the campaignto elect August King for Mayor.

So I guess the gloves are off?

What gloves? We're getting our asses kicked.

The question is, how do wecombat this without compromising

our integrity?

Hey, Russell? Are we interrupting you?

Look. August has been sling'n mud in this game for 25 years.

That's his thing. We don't needto do that. Let him and his

exhaust themselves.

A barrage of smear campaigns are coming our way.

I know he's your friend and all-

He's my father. Be careful.

Sources have telling me thatthey plan to run ads like these,

for the next few weeks. On several networks.

So what are we gonna do?

Y'all get my notifications on IG, right?

wow.

Five thousand likes already?

No, 13,000.

22,000.

Okay I see you Russ

I'm focused.

But I can't have my team being distracted by our

opponent's smear tactics. Theirdisadvantage is that they only

know one way of doing things. and its old and antiquated.

We're the innovators.

So why're ya'll sweating?

What's next?

Man, time flies.

I remember him running aroundthe Mayor's office as an intern.

Now, he's gun'n for the seat.

Man, eight years. Man. We've had a good run.

Yes we have. And we've done a lot for this city.

And we ate while we did too, didn't we?

It doesn't have to end. Any of it.

How's that?

How does eight more years of perks sound?

We just flip roles.

You are a muthafucka man

Your endorsement would certainlysolidify the election for me

You don't need to sell me.

August I want you to know that Iam fully aware of the fact that

I would not be where I am todaywere it not for you.

I leave the party with who brought me.

Then I guess we'll be at the party a little while longer.

Yes we will. Yes we will.

No-no-no, No. Thank you. Have a good night. Okay, thank you.

Looks like you're having a fantastic day?

wow. I didn't realize how late it was.

Yeah this place can consume you.

Well, when you care about something you make sacrifices.

You try scheduling fiftyvolunteers on an empty stomach.

You haven't eaten?

Not unless you count a half-eaten donut. No.

How about I order us some food.

no that's really not necessary.

You can finish your schedule. I got some things I could be doing too.

I really wouldn't want to keep you.

I'm ordering.

Chinese ok?

Sounds good. Thank you.

By the way, I'm Russell Savage.

you're Russell Savage?

I was looking for a face to go with this face

It's odd. It's so funny. It wasjust sitting here.

Funny.

I'm Avery. Avery Long.

Todo Bien.

Volunteers are the corner stoneof service. People get helped because of their dedication.

Like super heroes.

You're making fun of me.

No I'm not.

Yes you are.

I'm not.

No it's, it's admirable.

It really is.

But that is the upside.

it does come with it's fair share of chaos.

yeah. Saw a little bit of that chaos happening earlier tonight.

An organized chaos.

Right.

So umm, Cincinnati to Atlanta.

Mhmm.

Not raised by biological parents. Raised in the system with a dick

for a foster dad.

Wanting to make a difference. And

There's a ridiculous amount of unpacked boxes in your apartment.

Okay, fair

Okay. Todo Bien. My turn.

Grady baby.

Mhmm.

Not raised by your biological parents. Half raised by your grandmother.

Half by your political opponent.

You are very close with your brother.

Mhmm.

Avid jogger. And

Your spot is tastefully decorated with everything in tact.

Thank you, thank you New York. I'm here all week.

Very well done. Very well done.

Kinda sounds like a black politicians meet dot com dating profile. Don't it?

Our lives haven't been easy. Huh?

No they have not.

Painful and unforgiving at times. But here we are.

We're very similar creatures '‘Miss' Long.

I do believe you are correct, Mr. Mayor.

Mr. Mayor. Mr. Mayor.

You should get used to it.

Soak it all in. Yeah.

So what do you think about that last line?

I think we need a break. We've been at this for hours.

I'm sorry. It's hard for me to pull away sometimes.

Work helps to keep my mind preoccupied.

I see why you'd wanna keep your mind preoccupied.

She was stunning.

Will you tell me about her?

We met in college.

She was an Art Major.

Free- spirited, eclectic, beautiful as hell.

It was love at first sight.

We were Bonnie & Clyde. Pinkyand the Brain, and we had plansto takeover the world.

I was Pinky.

Of course.

Yeah.

We married a year later.

Six months after that, she was diagnosed.

Even though our time togetherwas short-lived, it was the besttime of my life

and the hardest.

Welcome. Welcome. Come on in.

What's up, pop?

How you been?

Can't call your old man?

He thinks he's grown now running for Mayor, bringingbeautiful strangers in my house.

Can't tell him nothing no more.

Ladies and gentleman, August King

In the flesh.

There's my momma, look at you

Looking great

I want to introduce you both to Avery Long.

It's a pleasure to meet both of you.

Aren't you lovely.

Thank you.

Pleasure's all mine.

Thank you sir.

Well, Mrs. King your home is exquisite

Please, call me Brenda.

Would you care for a glass of wine or champagne?

I'd love a glass of wine. Yes thank you.

Well, follow me. You can have the honor of picking out a bottle from the cellar.

Okay

Now what you got to say?

Welcome home son.

You and this young lady must be serious?

It's definitely something.

Definitely something.

Smells good in here.

Dunk.

What's happening Pop?

I'm good. How are you?

Good.

What's happening lil' bro?

Sorry I'm late Pop.

I'm just glad you made it. Would've gotten an earful from your mother had you not.

I'll take it from here.

How you doing ma'

Jules. I was worried you weren'tgonna make it.

You know any chance I get to eat your cooking, I'm here.

Dunk, have you met Avery?

Nah.

I've seen you around headquarters.

I'm sorry, I thought you were security.

Nah, chill chill chill

No, because, he's actually beenthat for me since I was a kid.

Well, somebody had to. You couldn't fight.

That's what big brother's are for.

I don't think I've ever had a meal like that.

yeah. She. Is. Magic.

I really love this. What you all have is really special.

We all were very fortunate to find each other during a very difficult time in our lives.

If you don't mind me asking, how was your upbringing?

Well, nothing like this. For sure.

I grew up in foster care.

Let's just say that my childhoodwasn't so pleasant.

I'm sorry to hear that, sweetie.You'd be a welcomed addition to our family.

To family.

To family.

To family.

To family.

Run a federal level check on Avery Long.

I need know everything there isto know about this woman.

In all my years, I've never seena local campaign

trend nationally.

It's become very entertaining to see you two duke it out.

America is chiming in on the memes that have been circulating on social media.

Tell us Councilman King, how doyou feel about these memes?

They're cute.

but it's child's play to try touse memes to join an adult conversation.

You know, when Russell was a kid I used to tell him

'‘go sit down, the grown folks is talkin'.

It's a close race with Savage up by 6 points in the polls leading with a 53% approval

rating, while King maintainshis place close behind yieldinga 47% approval rating.

Sir

your next meeting is in 15 minutes. Do you need anything?

Yes Barb, could yo check and see if Briggs has a new cell number?

Yes sir, I'll call his secretary.

Thank you.

With the final debate under a week away

the question remains, who will current Mayor Kenneth Briggs endorse?

Excuse me, Councilman?Councilman, may I have a momentof your time, please sir.

Mr. Savage

As the election draws near and the stakes grows higher.

How do you feel about your father and political opponent, August King's recent attempts

to sabotage your campaign by constantly putting your experience into question?

I think sabotage is a strong word

but to answer your question.Have you seen the recent polls?

If experience was the main factor in this race, wouldn't Councilman King's numbers

reflect that?

I can't imagine how difficult it must be to acknowledge that you've crafted a better you.

Your time is up.

It's Savage season.

Thank you.

I'm Rebecca Moore with WGR-TV and apparently Savage season is upon us.

You can't throw me away like trash, you can't

Good morning.

Rough night?

I think you were sleep walking last night.

Did you know you sleep walk?

When I was a kid I was diagnosedwith Parasomnia.

It's a sleeping disorder.

I know what it is.

Well, stuff like this tends to happen as a result of it.

Why didn't you tell me?

Because it's embarrassing. I didn't want you to freak out

It's all good. Okay?

Now I know.

I gotta go okay?

Okay.

You'll be alright?

Yeah.

It's okay.

What are you doing in here?

She was beautiful wasn't she?

I'm sure he wouldn't want you in here.

You know, we're not so differentme and you. Always standing on the sidelines.

What are you doing?

i see the way you look at me.

I don't know what your game is

but I'm not the one to play with.

You keep frontin' like you wanna protect him.

When

I know secretly you wish you were him.

Welcome back to late night. I am your host Cynthia Nye,

and if you're just now joining us I've been in mid-juicy conversation

with my guest Russell Savage who's currently running for Mayor for the city of Atlanta.

Okay, Russell.

Serious question, and be honest

What is it like having your father as a rival?

Honestly, its not as deep as it sounds.

come on.

Its really not

We're both just two men running for the same office.

Running for like "the" office.

"The" office. Yes, but in the end

We're very competitive and only want what's best for eachother.

I don't believe it.

and that comes with the understanding that at the end of the day

neither one of us will hold back when it comes to winning this election

No. It's just politics.

We did a great job with him.

Yes we did.

Politics.

Politics.

Politics politics.

Because at the end of the day

we'll both still be expected tobreak bread

by the beautiful woman who runsMr. King's house.

The lovely Brenda King.

Avery.

So, make sure you go out there and make your vote count.

Todo Bien, gotta pay some bills we'll be right back. Streetz 94.5

'Preciate it.

Thank you.

Anything I can do-

What can you tell me about Avery's upbringing?

Well, she came to us pretty broken

No child should ever have toexperience that kind of trauma.

Ever.

We did our best to give her everything she needed,

but it was never enough.

there were times we considered sending her back to the state.

She was emotionally unstable

And when she didn't get her way

her temper spiraled out of control

Frank, maybe we should tell him.

Tell me what?

Paula.

Sweetheart, that was an accident.

What happened?

Sir

We really, uh-

We really don't have anything else with you. That

That's it.

Just one more thing.

You can try contacting Dr. Engleman.

He was her state-assigned Psychiatrist.

he may be able to help you with more information.

Thank you for your time.

Thanks. 'Preciate it.

If you love your brother,

get him as far away from her asyou possibly can.

She's dangerous.

Thanks you for your help.

What the ?

Avery.

Avery!

In here, baby.

Surprise.

What the hell are you doing here?

Aww

Let go of me.

I want you to hear me and want hear me clearly.

We're over.

Call whoever in the hell brought all this shit

over here and get it out of my house tonight

or I'll throw you and it outside.

You got me?

Now, put on your clothes and getthe outta my house.

Russell, no. What're you doing?Stop. Stop. Please, Russell. You're hurting me.

You're hurting me!

You have no idea

who you're with.

you think I brought us all this way, just to be dismissed

and thrown way like trash?

you got another thing coming.

Now, we will continue this journey together.

If not, by the time you wake uptomorrow, I will have you

and your entire campaign turned on it's ass.

Your precious Roberta ain'tgot shit on how I spin a story.

Avery, look-

No, you look.

The rest of my things'll be here tomorrow.

Baby, we're engaged.

and I want the ring back

Tonight.

Now fall in line and act like you love me

and I want some .

So clean up this mess

and make your way upstairs.

You look like you haven't slept in a week.

You have no idea.

This is a nightmare.

I'm sorry Russell.

This will all be over soon.

We tape live with Don Felt's show tonight.

You up for it?

I'll cancel if we need to-

No.

I can't let her win.

Todo Bien.

Well. It's a pleaseure to servedthe people of Atlanta

for as long as I have.

They don't want you to leave.

Well, I guess means I've done something right.

You've done many things right Mayor Briggs.

Councilman King, your opponent is leading by ten points.

Do you have a strategy to recover those loses?

Well, I

I don't

look at anything as a loss.

My team and advisors know as you do and everyone at this table that it is not over

until it's over

We still have the debate coming in a week.

Mr. Savage you've gained a lot of popularity over the past few weeks

Social media has pinned your fiancé as '‘Miss Atlanta'.

Do you feel that you owe her for that lead?

Well I'd like to think I've gained a lot of voters because the people want change.

And not because they're caught up in my personal life.

But you have to admitIt's quite interesting to watch.

It's quite interesting to live too.

But reiterating what Mr. King said 'It's not over until its over.'

Either one of us can still win or lose.

Well, whoever the mayor endorsesis going to have a huge

advantage going into the debate.And unbeknownst to our candidates,

Mayor Briggs has agreed to reveal who he's endorsing

on our show.

Mayor

Thank you Don.

It's extremely important for the next mayor to uphold the

the foundation that our beautiful city has been built upon.

And there's no doubt, whatsoeverin my mind that August King

would be an outstanding Mayor.

He's brilliant.

He is seasoned.

And he's one hell of a visionary.

Being that he has mentored Mr. Savage and myself.

brings this round table full circle..

There really no loss here, with either one of these two candidates.

We all win because we come from the same stock.

Which is why I have chosen to endorse Russell Savage

as the next Mayor of Atlanta.

I didn't see that one coming.

the cutting-edge vision that Atlanta needs moving forward

can only come from omeone who understands

not only traditional but contemporary concepts.

And that man is Russell Savage.

Well, there you have it Russell Savage receives Mayor Briggs endorsement

That's it for today. We'll seeyou next time on Atlanta Today.

I'm Don Felt.

And we're clear.

Pop.

That was quite a build up.

Thank you for your support.

Well deserved.

I appreciate it Mayor Briggs. Thank you.

You're very welcome.

Congratulations.

Thank you Mr. Felt

Mayor Briggs.

Please?

What the was that?

My endorsement

What about loyalty?

I put you into office.

Me.

I did that

and this is how you repay me?

August, it's politics.

Politics?

No man, this is bullshit, I'vedone a lot of favors for you

the dirt runs deep

Don't.

Don't fuck

Don't with dead favors.

We had an agenda and we made a lot of money.

We did.

Me ; you.

You bring that shit up again and I'll bury you.

You here me?

That looked heavy.

Look, I'm

I'm sorry Pop

Hey

Hey.

He's right. It's just politics.

You know the saddest thing about betrayal is

it never, ever comes from your enemies.

He promised you his endorsement.

God.

Aye.

Hey.

Stay focused.

Huh?

You haven't won yet.

The debate

can make or break an election

with or without his endorsement.

Remember that.

Hmm?

Gloves back on?

Never ever take em' off, son.

C'mon.

Let's go.

I spoke to one of the investigators who was working on the case.

Come to find out

He didn't even believe it was an accident.

But because the dude, Frank wouldn't corroborate,

the detective didn't have enough evidence

to continue the investigation.

So the case was closed.

So she's not just crazy, she's dangerous.

she's got us by the balls bruh.

We gotta keep her close, now.

How much of this does August know about this?

Have either of you mentioned any of this to him?

I haven't.

I wouldn't take that chance. He's still my opponent.

Okay.

Okay.

So what do we do?

The debate is in a couple days.

It's too risky to have her there.

And I'm under enough goddamn pressure.

We need this bitch in order to win this

Aww bullshit. I can win this without her.

No. You can't.

We're in too deep.

One wrong move from her can cost us the election.

That's a fact.

We're .

We ain't never .

So what's the plan?

You being in my life has changed everything.

I couldn't have done this without you.

To us.

Whew. Get's you right there.

Throwing our statements like that only assures me and the voters that you have a

complete lack of understanding of the overall process.

Gentlemen, please. It's important that we maintain structure.

The city of Atlanta is in needof someone who understandsthe day-to-day responsibilities

of a mayor.

What is it about your temperament, and overall skills,

That's a fact.

The same question goes to you, Councilman Savage.

Everything that the media has been saying about me

is true.

Yes, I was raised and groomed by August King.

Growing up in politics helped me understand its nature,

but with a fresh pair of eyes

and a unique perspective.

This is what gives me the edge

To be able to speak the language of my predecessors

and yet relate to a newer generation.

Things are changing. Whether we like it or not.

We need someone in office who can understand that dynamic.

My hat goes off to Mr. King for his 28 years of excellent

service to our wonderful city.

But moving forward,

I doubt he'll have the foresight to lead Atlanta's diverse communities.

I am a symbol of that diversity

which makes me the best candidate

to step into position of Mayor of Atlanta.

Thank you.

That concludes our evening.

I'd like to thank both candidates.

Councilman August King

and Councilman Russell Savage.

Thank you all for coming. Good night.

'Preciate it. Thank you. Thank you. Always a pleasure.

Don't forget 'Savage Seaon'

Nice job.

Where is Dunk?

Maybe we should call the police.

And tell'em what?

You know, you did great baby. I think we are still gonna win this.

Shut up.

Russell.

Call me.

I will.

Goodbye Roberta. Be careful out there.

Crazy ass bitch.

You have a great night. Thank you.

Looks like you plan didn't quite pan out for ya did it?

It's cute though

You thought you could drug me

I've been on medication my whole life.

Nice try though.

You know

Just when I think

we are finally taking steps forward

you disappoint me.

Just when I think

you see how great we are together

You

disapponit me

Why don't you see how good I am for you?

Is my brother okay?

You're more concerned about Dunk than yourself.

Is my brother okay?

You don't appreciate me

or what I've done for this campaign

What I've done for you.

I thought you were different.

Strong.

But you're not, are you?

You're drinking this early?

No.

Something's wrong. I can feel it.

You're scaring me.

A woman's wedding day is one of the most important days

of her life.

Everything's supposed to be perfect.

standing in the perfect white dress-

with the perfect man

her loving father walking her down the isle.

All the things Dina had on our wedding day,

and the things you will never have.

I'm sure I will.

You're certifiable.

I'm a woman with a plan.

I was precise and now i have the perfect man.

You're delusional. I'm not your man.

I know about Frank.

It wasn't an accident, was it?

You put him in that wheelchair, didn't you?

Which made me wonder

what ever happened to your biological parents?

You've never mentioned them.

Shut your mouth.

You hurt them too,?

Shut the up.

You have no idea what you're talking about.

You talk about this hard knock life backstory growing up,

at least you had a grandmother who loved you,

a brother

to protect you

and parents

who took you in.

My biological father was too busy paying off my mother

to get rid of me.

He tried to throw me away just like you're

trying to do now

Wise man.

Russell!

Avery!

August!

August please help me. He's trying to kill me-

Avery.

What the is going on? Russell?

Please. Help me!

Son, my God are you okay?

You son of a bitch.

What about me?

Avery.

Your own flesh and blood?

Avery,

put the glass down. You're hurting yourself.

Shut up. You don't care. Don't act like you care.

Please, Avery.

How could you do it?

How could you just throw us away? Like we were nothing.

I am so sorry, I didn't know

No!

I'm sorry-

Don't!

I didn't know!

You have no idea the amount of pain you've caused me.

She killed herself and I was the one who found her.

Because of you.

Avery, please. I'm sorry.

I am so sorry that you had to go through all of that.

But doing this is not going to change the past.

I was young and foolish and I made so many mistakes.

and I hurt a lot of people

I

I know that.

You left me.

You left me.

Avery.

If I had known anything about you,

None of this would never have happened.

You need to start blaming your mother.

She did this to you.

You okay?

I've been better.
