I still can't believe this press
release.

Senator Perez's interest in the human
hair is solely for the purpose of

legitimate scientific inquiry.

Oh, with all the science.

Hey, what was that line about why he's
winning this campaign?

He wants to focus on his important work
on the Hill.

You took down a presidential candidate,
girl. Not a lot of people can say that.

Yeah, you're going to get a book deal
out of this one.

Ooh, all the presidents main.

No? Nice scoop, Mariz.

How'd you score that video?

Uh, I don't reveal my sources.

Tell me again why I'm wearing this
ridiculous thing.

We can't have you taking sides, Gov,
after Perez's hairy situation.

You are officially in third place. And
Coach Sturgeon's endorsement is about to

make it even sweeter.

This is a big moment for us, but we need
you to appear tough.

What are you talking about?

It's just that some people think that
you're a bit of a dickless wonder.

Claire Scarlett Dobson.

Dang, my full name doesn't change the
fact that it's true.

She's not wrong.

Thank you.

I start singing Hail to the Chief, but I
don't want to get ahead of ourselves

here. Congrats on Tech's big season,
Coach. Thank you. This is Stan.

Finally, I get to meet a real celebrity.

I understand you're in the running for
the Heisman, Stan.

Yes, sir.

Hi. Claire.

Dobson. Governor Dobson's daughter. I
came up with the campaign. Broken.

Dobson. Truth.

Freedom. DTF. Let's take a lap.

Interesting kids you got there.

How would you feel about a little warm
-up before we announce the endorsement?

Absolutely. All right.

Go deep, Stan.

Let's see what you got, guv.

Oh, camera's up.

Oh, that's not supposed to end

that way.

My knee. What the hell?

Are you out of your mind, Thompson?

That's my star player.

I'm going to kill you, man.

I'm going to kill you, I tell you. Come
here.

Hi, guys.

Where are you going?

I'm exhausted. I need to get some sleep.

Oh, so she does sleep.

I guess so.

Hey, does she snore?

Actually, yeah, a lot.

Hey, I never thanked you for the whole
Perez thing.

You kind of just changed my life.

You would have done the same.

Well, you could have released the video
yourself.

Honestly, having you back out here is
better than anything. I could have

out of some scoop about hair.

Hair?

Hair.

You're the best.

All right, wake up. Let's go.

Announcement time. If any of you post
that video, you will not live to see

another day. I just posted the video.

Oh, Jesus Christ. Over 750 ,000 views.

My desk is going to be popped.

You albino shit stick.

Well, they don't have to amputate.

That's the good news.

He will have a pronounced limp, but they
said with some rehab, he'll be able to

walk without much pain.

He has 22 ,856 Twitter followers.

And every single one is affected by this
tragedy.

We want Johnson!

We want Johnson!

We want Johnson!

Let's go!

This bus is now the last helicopter out
of Saigon! Go!

Claire, let's go!

Dad, I'm staying here to nurse Stan back
to health. I already have hashtag

PrayForStan trending.

His big break is going to be my...

Big break. Get on the bus. I'm so sorry,
Dad. I can't hear you. There's bad

reception everywhere.

I raised a monster.

Marissa, you look really hot today. Call
me later.

Move it.

McGrady, let's go.

Come on. Go.

Get on the bus. Go.

Adios, amigos.

See you on the other side.

Yeah, no problem. Happy to help.

Bye.

Uh -oh.

What?

That was a fact checker from the New
York Times Magazine.

She wanted to verify that we all had an
off -the -record dinner with Dobson.

What? She called me earlier about
getting baptized at the Evangelical

I told her it was a joke.

Shit, who's writing a magazine piece
about the campaign?

McGrady? Gotta be.

How bad do you think it is?

Well, the top trending Google searches
right now are Dobson dead in Iowa. Who

John Dobson and Claire Dobson feet?

And you're trending, so.

Charisma, sister.

Come here. Did someone spike the vial of
blood she drinks every night?

Noah, you always hated me.

I liked you. I just, I have a different
way of showing it. Okay, uh, why is she

talking about him in past tense?

Oh, I'm talking about all of us in the
past tense. Because it is over.

Tweet about that tomorrow, suckers.

Oh, and can you tag me in it? Because I
need a job.

What? The gov's dropping out.

I'm editing his speech right now.

Oh, no. Are you guys really sad now?

Do you want to talk about it?

Oh, my God. If you guys report that,
seriously, you can't... Oh, fucking... I

will kill you. You can't... We won't.
It's just... Kind of hard to believe

over. No.

I'll return to Rhode Island with a host
of memories. I gave my all to you. And

so even when I lose, I'm winning.

Who wrote this? John Legend?

He even managed to put short pants in
there. That's impressive.

No, no, no, TJ, please. I'm not going to
report it, okay?

Why don't you worry about something more
important for once?

Boom. Yep, no problem.

See ya.

What? You guys are here too?

I think I got left off the group text
again.

Why all the sad faces?

Thompson's dropping out.

Seriously? What about roadside
adventures with my best friends?

Come on, buddy.

Felicia drew our last night.

What's there to do around?

Where are we again?

Dyersville.

Do you guys like Kevin Costner?

Yes.

TJ.

Governor. How did you get my room
number?

Please. I'm a hard -nosed reporter who's
been on the trail for many months.

And I bribed the guy at the front desk.

Well done.

We need to talk.

The actual field of dreams. This might
be the coolest thing I've seen in Iowa.

Hey, easy. We did see the world's
largest frying pan in Brandon.

You guys think it's fun, too?

Only by the spirit of one of People
Magazine's 50 Most Beautiful People,

And 91.

What?

Beautiful people like to read about
beautiful people.

Hey, go flirt with those girls so we can
take their booze.

On it.

Hunter S. Thompson is my favorite.
You're going to talk about Hunter S.

Thompson. We should just go ahead and
start.

Hey,

Brent, are you watching me?

You're really good at that.

Okay,

we'll need some flash on.

Oh, glamorous life of a political
journalist.

Kind of weird how Iowa feels like home
now.

Yeah. I'm even going to miss Miles.

Colby! What's happened to us?

We've gone full Iowa.

Maybe Dobson's right. There's something
in the soil.

Fertility's infecting our brains with
niceness.

I don't understand.

Me neither.

So what are you going to do next?

I don't know.

Maybe try something where I don't have
to check my email every ten seconds?

Oh, that sounds boring.

You really should go for that newspaper
gig.

You think?

I know.

What about you?

I don't know. That whole press thing
really... Turned you into a rock star of

political journalism overnight?

I think I'm going to end it with Colin
when I go back to D .C.

Oh.

You're a good writer.

Yeah? You try a little too hard
sometimes. I mean, sucking dry the ample

of democracy.

I mean, no offense, but...

That's a bit much.

Quick, what are the three most memorable
things that have happened to you in

Iowa? I stole a hotel waffle maker, got
my ass kicked by a tiny wrestler,

I sold the case to the bus fucker, and I
haven't showered in nine days.

I guess that was four.

Okay, perfect. Just build your narrative
around all of that insanity and go from

there.

So what you're saying is if I build it,
they will... No. No.

So do people around here do.

I'm going to be charitable and assume
you're not asking condescendingly.

I am actually a bit of a wordsmith
myself.

I'm applying to the Iowa Writers
Workshop in the fall.

Only the best MFA program in the
country? I mean, in the meantime, I'm

up a farm -to -table restaurant with a
few infester friends.

So cool.

So, bus fucker? Oh, best story.

So, someone found a condom on the floor
of the bus.

You know, for my money, Tin Cup was
Costner's most honest performance.

Roy McAvoy taught us that people can
change, but they can't be changed.

Water world is pretty underrated, too.
You know, did you ever see that? It's

with all the water. All right, listen.
I'm cold.

I'm unemployed.

I'm in the middle of fucking Iowa, and I
want to suck some face.

Come here.

Okay, a bit eager. Sorry, sorry.

Bye, guys.

See ya.

I can seriously see myself staying here.

In Iowa?

Really?

Yeah.

I mean, the me of four months ago would
have the me of now committed for saying

so, but... Yeah.

Why?

Everyone in New York thinks that it's
the center of the universe, but it's

And the fact that they think it is makes
it feel even smaller.

All the people here are real.

Whoa.

Write that down.

Why, was it an IQ?

No.

Do you think we're all going to hang out
in D .C.? And people move on, you know?

Yeah, of course.

You and I will.

Yeah, definitely.

Look, shooting star. I saw it.

This feels good.

Yeah. Do you mind if I...

The closer it's cold.

Yeah, of course.

I just think you and I...

God! Oh!

Oh!

Hey,

what happens in Dyersville? He's never
forgotten night's work, Miles.

Thanks, guys.

Don't look at me.

Ah, look who it is. Let me guess, you
did it in a stable next to a family of

pigs? Oh, gross. I hope he showered.

Guys, please.

Spent the whole night talking.

Is that some new sexual position I have
yet to try?

I've never had a connection like that
with a girl.

Excuse me?

Woman.

I'm looking to take the word girl out of
my vocab. So what do you say when you

actually see a little girl?

I call them miniature women now.

Is that offensive?

Oh, my God.

What? Sid.

The boys and girls on the bus.

blowing the doors off the sordid world
of embeds on the presidential campaign

trail. The fact -checking. Who's her?

Assassin.

She's on Channel 5.

Now, Sidney, you write very frankly
about your fellow embeds on the John

campaign trail in this tell -all piece.

Now, was this more awkward for you or
was it more awkward for them?

I have great respect for my colleagues
on the bus. Take Marissa Aquino, for

example. She let loose at a party. Who
hasn't, right?

Unbelievable. But she's also an
incredibly smart, hardworking, good

When we come back, the harrowing tale of
how I snuck into Norway's seed vault

and did bath salts with glorious... Hey,
Brynn, check it out. We got 50 likes on

our relationship status.

I'm going to fucking murder you.

Oh, I know what that means. No, you
don't.

Since I played strip cup at a frat house
in the New York fucking time.

She quoted from my journal.

Dan and Statham probably stole while I
was sleeping.

You read that line she quoted to us out
loud like ten times.

Oh, not me.

Well, well, well, where were you last
night?

You guys heard, right? Yeah, she's been
writing about it the whole time.

Gonna get fired for real this time.

What? No, I'm talking about Daphne. Huh?

He's staying in the race.

Yeah, I convinced him that he has
nothing to lose in everything in the

Actually, I am leaving journalism to
work for the campaign.

Communications director, actually.

I want to be your boss.

Excuse me.

I'll be right back.

Not enough that you betrayed us all, now
you're calling a gloat? Oh, come on,

you're not really mad.

You came across well in the feed.

And Marissa? I'm sorry, if anyone's
afraid of a smart, competent woman who

to party from time to time, that's their
problem.

You screwed us.

Okay, again, we are not a team.

Well, the rest of us are.

Still can't believe TJ.

Thanks. And speaking of, you guys won't
believe it, but a literary agent saw

Sid's article and wants to talk to me
about a potential book deal. Wow.

Who's the agent?

Well, maybe she's more of a reality TV
producer, but she does dabble in books,

according to her IMDb page.

No, that's incredible.

Congrats. The best part is I can stay in
Iowa.

What?

I want to see how it goes with Annie.

And I can write.

I don't know. I just like it here.

Oh.

PJ, 20 minutes until Dawson's speech.

I'm just going to handle this.

Cool, yeah. I guess we'll just meet you
at the art park. Okay.

I'm totally serious about this.

There's no better place to be a writer
than Iowa.

No, I get it. I'm happy for you. I'm
just going to miss you, man.

We all are.

I'm moving to Mars.

I'm moving to Le Mars, Iowa.

And do me a favor.

Marissa, make it happen.

I'm trying.

Good.

You two are perfect for each other.

I'm rooting for you.

Thanks, brother.

It means a lot.

Sorry, sir. I had no idea she was
writing the article. It caught us all...

Dobson's dead in the water. I'm putting
you on Jack Stone.

Oh.

Thank you so much.

I appreciate the opportunity.

Okay,

great. Thanks. Bye.

And so, while the soil may be fertile in
Iowa, for my campaign at least, the

time has come to drink deeply from the
nectar of New Hampshire's gooey maple

trees. To all my friends in Iowa, I
expect to see you in the general

But now it's on to the Granite State.

Thank you. Thank you.

Do you really think he's got a shot in
New Hampshire? Well,

I know he doesn't have a shot in Iowa.

Yeah, I do.

I saw the new MUR union leader poll has
them up to 9 % there. Double digits,

here we come.

Wait, you're not going to report that I
said that, right?

Everyone gets one.

How about that?

It's already weird.

So, are you getting on that flight to
Manchester?

So, there's something I have to tell
you.

My boss offered me a job covering the
Stone campaign.

Yeah, well, that's great.

I mean, it's like the frontrunner and
you deserve it. That's huge for you.

Yeah, but I turned it down.

What?

Yeah, I convinced him that I was too
well -sourced with Dobson to give it up

now. Oh, thank God. I was worried it was
going to be just me and McGrady for a

second there.

You ever been to New Hampshire?

No, I haven't.

Mr. Booze and Token, Wolf Pro, and
Hunter S. Thompson.

You knew Hunter S. Thompson?

Man, would have hated you all.
Especially Noah.

Beauty.

The great state of Iowa.

Who was here?

New Hampshire.

New Hampshire.

Hey.

I know this campaign has been so hard on
our relationship, especially the last

few days, but I know you can't come to D
.C. to be with me, but I can work from

anywhere.

What are you saying?

I guess what I'm saying is I'm in the
lobby of your hotel.

When are you going to be back?

Can I call you back?

Yeah, it's fine.
