[inhales]

[exhale]

BELLA:
Um,

Sarah, are you okay?

Y-You-you were supposed to do
a press conference

a-about the presentation.

B-But it...
It's okay.

Uh, I can tell them
we'll do it another day.

♪

Corinne!

[crying]:
Danny, no, I can't.Corinne, wait!

I really... I can't. I can't
right now. Please. I can't.

I can't.Sarah's mic was on in there.

The whole crowd just
heard you guys talking.

Oh. Great.

That's great.Is it true?

What Sarah said, is it true?

Is Josh my...?

[panting]

And you... you... you knew.

This whole time,
you knew?

I just found out, Danny.

I just found out just now,
just like you.

Just like the whole town,
apparently.

No, I mean, you knew there was
a chance that Josh was my son.

Why else would you take
a paternity test?

Josh is not your son!

You were not there
for the labor pains.

You weren't there
for the late-night feedings.

You weren't there for his fevers
or his broken wrist.

It was just me and Adam.
Adam, who can't even look me

in the eye anymore.You could've told me you had

doubts
about who Josh's father was.

How?! You left! You left

before the morning
sickness kicked in,

and I had no way
of contacting you!Maybe six years ago,

sure. But I've been back
in Greylock for eight months!

Eight months, Corinne!

I just wish
you would've said something.

Anything.

Wow. You know, it's funny.

When you left town
when we were kids,

I used to wish
the exact same thing.

That you would say
something to me.

Anything.

[car door opens]

Hi. Um...[feedback whines]

Yeah, hi. I-I know
that you were all

hoping to speak to Sarah today,
but she can't make it.

[indistinct chatter]

She's really sorry.MAN:
I would be, too,

if the whole world found out
I fudged the results

of a paternity test.

Especially
after that absurd presentation.

Sarah's plan

gives Greylock
short-term stability

while setting us up
for long-term growth.

The ink is barely dry
on your constitution,

and she's already headed off

on some useless quest
to woo the United States?

Come on.

Official recognition
would stabilize our economy,

secure our sovereignty

and get us access to foreign aid
and disaster relief.

That doesn't sound useless
to me.

Hey.

Have you heard from Corinne?
I-I've called her,

like, a million times.
She won't pick up.

Probably 'cause
she doesn't want to talk to you.

An impulse
she and I share, actually.

I made a terrible mistake,

AJ, I know.

But I had my reasons.

For telling the truth
or for lying

in the first place?For both.

When Corinne
took that paternity test,

she wanted it to be Adam.

She stood in this room,
and she cried in my arms,

and she-she begged the universe
to make it Adam.

So youmade it Adam.

When the email came
and it was Danny's name,

it's like I could...
I could see the future.

Corinne's life
falling apart all over again

because of my dickhead brother.

And then I thought of Josh.

Adam is an amazing dad.
To replace that?

[voice breaking]:
I know what it's like,

growing up with a father

who runs
at the first sign of trouble.

Josh doesn't deserve that.

Nobody does.

Danny being Josh's
biological father

gives him rights
in a custody hearing.

I had to tell Corinne the truth
to save Josh.

He's not yours
to save, Sarah.

My God, at some point,
you're gonna have to realize

you don't know what's best
for everybody on the planet.

I never said I knew.

You don't have to.
It's clear you think you do.

[breathing heavily]

Oh, my God.

SARAH:
I've been a fixer
for my whole life.

It's who I am.

I do not know how
to turn it off.

Sarah, Sarah, you lied

to the people that you
care the most about.

Glass houses, Mom.

Before I got sober,

I thought the thing that was
going to save me was a hug...

...when what I really needed
was a kick in the ass.

Someone to look me in the eye
and tell me

the cold, hard truth.

You want a hug, Sarah?
I'm not going to give you one.

It's gonna make things worse.

I don't...

I don't need a hug.

I need to say I'm sorry.

I found out
that you have a grandson,

and I didn't tell you,

and I am sorry.

I am sorry.

[exhales]

I thought you didn't want
to talk to me.Was Sarah right?

Does you being
Josh's biological father

change the math
on this custody thing?

Yeah.Okay.

How?

I would probably be granted
partial custody

if I petitioned the court.

If that happened, a judge
would keep Josh in Greylock.

Two parents here
versus one somewhere else.

Okay, I need you
to petition the court.

Corinne.No.

I need Josh in Greylock.

I-I want to help, but...

Most times, I feel like I'm...

I'm barely keeping
my own head above water.

To suddenly be...

someone's dad...
[exhales]

I'm not sure I'm ready for that.

I'm not asking you
to take him for pancakes

or take him camping.

I'm asking for your signature,
not your time.

When I was 17 and alone,

I needed you,
and you weren't there.

When I found out
that I was pregnant,

I was terrified.

I needed you,
and you weren't there.

When I was about to get married,

all I wanted was
for you to come back to Greylock

and take me away
from all of this. I needed you.

I needed you,
and you weren't there.

So, Danny, please,

for once in your life, be there.

Hey.

Corinne?[clears throat]

Corinne, you have
to let me explain.No,

Okay?I know what happened. You lied.

You have to understand
that I was trying to help you.

I was trying...No, you were trying to be

in control like
you always are.

Do you know that when,

um, you told me
the results of the DNA test,

it never even occurred to me
to look at the email myself

because I knew that you
would never lie to me

about something like that.

I thought I knew.
[scoffs]

I really didn't want my brother
to ruin your life.

That's right, mylife!
My life, Sarah! Mine!

Not yours.

Deciding what to do with
the results of the DNA test,

it should've been my choice.
It should...

And you took it from me.

Here is one choice you
don't get to steal.

I'm never speaking to you again.

No, Corinne. Corinne?

Not my story to tell.

Thanks, Tyler.

[sighs]

[footsteps approaching]

State Department?

Is it that obvious?

I've never seen you

in Greylock before.
I'm guessing

that that bulge on your hip
is a gun.

Given that my father's
presence here

just became headline news...

Gina Saunders.

Diplomatic Security.

Special agent.You're wasting your time here.

Greylock
is a nonextradition country.

The American government
has no authority

to arrest our residents.

I know.

Why are you here?

To offer you
official recognition

from the United States.

A pat on the head
from the Stars and Stripes

makes this little poli-sci
experiment of yours legit.

If you, as
Greylock's leader,

allow us to arrest Paul Cooper,

the State Department is prepared
to fast-track that recognition.

Three months,

and Greylock can finally
leave the kids' table

and come and sit
with the adults.

Let me know.

Yeah, I'm not surprised the
State Department reached out.

I amsurprised that
you told me about it.

After the Corinne thing,
if I'm gonna make a decision

about someone's life,
they're gonna help me make it.

Um, so, what would...

what would happen to you

if I...?Well,

first, they would spend
a few days making sure

that I'm not sitting
on any more stolen documents.

Are you?Chief of staff's
March Madness bracket.

POTUS's email asking

if he gets to see the
new Star Warsearly

because he's POTUS.

I'm a walking WikiLeaks.

Now, after they discover

that I have dumped all the
information that I had,

there will be a trial,
at which point

I will be found guilty.

But if you had
a really good lawyer and...

The whole point of this crime
is to leave a paper trail.

You could replace my prosecutor
with a horse,

and I'd still be convicted.You did the right thing.

You should be in a parade,
not a prison.

Yeah. Recognition for Greylock
would be huge.

I know.This process

can take years
if it happens at all.

And God forbid you wind up
like Abkhazia or South Ossetia.No, I know.

Endlessly floundering
in the waters

of partial recognition.

No stability. No security.No future.

Recognition for Greylock

would be the final step
in becoming a real country.

All it costs
is one absent father.Mm.

Formerlyabsent.

[grunts]
You do realize

I, I could still run.

Drop off the map again.
Everything falls apart.

I know.

But you told me anyway.

You didn't hide it.

Maybe that was foolish.

But at least it was honest.

BELLA:
Hey, Dad. You got a sec?

Sure, sweetie. What's up?

So, you know
how I've been working with Sarah

for my sophomore study project.Mm-hmm.

Well, helping her,
helping to build Greylock,

I feel more like me.

But the thing is
I have to go back

to regular classes
in three weeks,

and I won't be able
to help Sarah full-time anymore.

Mm-hmm.

So, I was thinking maybe I
could skip the spring semester.

What? Bella...Come on, Dad,

I can go back to school
in the fall.

But if I help Sarah now,

I can work with her full-time
throughout the summer.

Absolutely not.

Come on, Dad. Plenty of kids

take time off from high school.

Yeah. They're called
juvenile offenders.I'm gonna

learn way more from Sarah

than I ever would
reciting sonnets

or doing long division.Okay.

Bella,
I love that you're so inspired,

and you should
keep helping Sarah--

during your free time.

But I'm not going to let you
drop out

of high school.

[music playing]

You know,
they have books on tape now.

Easier for older eyes.

I'm looking for a job.What?

JD from Penn,
a lauded political career,

author of many
successful books?

Think a job
would be looking for you.

Until they Web-search my name,

and then they see
four million versions

of my TV confession.

Apparently, I'm a meme.

Whatever that is.

Yeah, well, what do you
want a job for, anyway?

Because I'm gonna lose
my marbles

if I just sit around my house,

spinning my wheels, thinking
about a grandchild that I have

that I'll probably
never be allowed to see.

Ah.

You seem very nonchalant

about
this grandchild revelation.

Are you not angry at Sarah?

I-I've been around enough

to know the world's
a pretty broken place.

Darkness everywhere you look.

That doesn't mean you
shouldn't try and find a light.

Our little girl, who's...
not so little anymore,

lives in the trying.

As long as that's true, how
could I be mad at her? I mean...

After everything
you've put me through,

do you really have to parade him
around in front of me?

Do you think

some dumb DNA test

is gonna stop me
from loving my son?

No, and I don't want it to.

But... [clears throat] what
that dumb DNA test does do

is it allows Danny to petition
for partial custody of Josh.

And that's exactly
what he will do unless

you agree to an arrangement
that keeps Josh in Greylock.

I've already talked
to my lawyer,

and Danny's involvement

will swing this whole thing
in my favor.

Adam,

you're an amazing dad.

Josh loves you, and he
needs you in his life.

But I love him, too,
and I'm not gonna let you

take him away from me.

So, if you want a war,

I will give you
the nuclear version.

Or you and I
can come to a peaceful solution

that allows our son to grow up
with happy memories

instead of sad ones.

[indistinct chatter]

Hi, Doris.

Spring's around
the corner.

Are you pumped for tulip season?

My grandson's been helping me
expand my garden.

When it's done,

"tulips"

You're gonna have to call them

GROVER:

Hey, hey. Hey, Doris, hey.

We don't lose the clinic,

I just talked to Dad.

Yeah, I tried to talk
to you myself.

Danny, I called you, like,
a dozen times in the past day.

You found out Josh is my son
and didn't tell me.

I'm sorry
if I went a little hard

on the "decline" button
for your taste.

Tell me you're not actually

considering giving Dad
to the State Department.

I don't want to,

Danny, but recognition

would guarantee
this country's future.

I have to think
about what Greylock needs.

What Greylock needs is a leader

who won't trade people
for stuff!

Never mind the fact

that the person you're thinking
about trading is our father!

What is this, some
kind of revenge?

You getting back at him
for all the time he was away?

We were just
starting to feel

like a real family
for the first time,

and you want to throw that away.

Just tell me
you're not gonna give him up.

Sarah,

tell me
you're not gonna give him up.

[knock on door]

You got to get
out of here now.

[chuckles]:
Whoa, slow down.

What's going on, cowboy?

This thing
with the State Department.

Sarah's gonna turn you in.

You're supposed to have dinner
with her tonight, right?Yeah.

It's a trap, Dad. You can't go.Look, Sarah's been cards up

about the state's offer
from the start.

Why-why would she want
to conspire now?

All Sarah does is conspire.

The whole town got a taste of it
a couple of days ago

with this delightful little
DNA public service announcement.

I trust Sarah.

Trust me,Dad.

She's already made up
her mind.

You got to go back
into hiding.

You've done it before,
you can do it again. But you got

to leave now
if you want a head start.

Dad!

Yeah. No, you're right.

I j-just... I got to go.

I'm sorry.

I'm the sorry one.

I never should've put you two
in this situation.

It was selfish.Nah, don't say that.
I'm just...

I'm just glad I got a chance
to get to know you again.

Because you may not see me
for a while,

I'd like to leave you with
a little bit of paternal advice.

This thing with Corinne

and you being
that little boy's father.

Look at me.

You were made for this, Dan.

No matter what anyone else says.

I love you.

[Danny grunts, sniffles]

I love you, too, Dad.

♪ Oh, what a love we have...

SARAH:
Hi, Paul.

It's me again.
I'm just wondering

if you're still coming.

Um, I was really hoping
we could talk

about
this State Department stuff

some more.

Between that
and, um, the mess I made

with Corinne's paternity test,
there's just...

there's a lot of noise
in my head right now.

But talking to you
the last few days,

having you around,

you've-you've been shelter

I'm really glad you're

Okay. I'll be here.

Sorry I'm late.

doughnuts that you love.SARAH: Aw.

Thank you. Oh, they smell good.

We can have them after dinner.

Actually,
I can't stay for dinner.

Federal agents outside.
Don't want to keep them waiting.

What are you talking about?
I'm not taking the deal.

Official recognition
is important,

but it is not worth
trading a person for.

You or anyone else.

The surest way to get recognized

is to take
the State Department's offer.

I told you.
I'm not taking the deal.

Well, I am.

I'm-I'm turning myself in.

They're, they're here.

No. No. No.

No, no. Paul,

It's what Iwant.

I want it. I've watched you

for the past few months,

for the things you care about.
You're brave, you're loyal,

and you're selfless.

All the things I want to be
when I grow up.

What can I say, kid?
You set a good example.

No, no, no. No, no, no.
Stop. I don't...

Please. I don't want this.

Thank you
for letting me get to know you.

You're an incredible person,

and I'm very proud
to be your father.

There's a lot of data that says
that conglomerates like them

jacking up the price
of local facilities

has a seriously negative effect
on public health.

That treaty forms an alliance

with New Hampshire against
predatory medical companies.

Long story short,
it would stop MediCo

from buying
your father's facility.

Governor Taggert
will go for this?

[grunts softly]

I told her it was important
to my citizens.

So you put yourself
in her pocket to help me.

I would put myself
in her guillotine

if it meant helping you.

But this isn't about you and me.
This is about public policy.

♪ The whole thing is...

You were right, AJ.

I don't know what's best
for everyone on the planet.

I put your name
on that treaty.

It's your treaty now.
You will oversee the creation

and the approval of it

as a, an elected member
of Greylock's council.

You know what your father needs.

You know what people like him
need way more than I do,

so you should be the one
who makes sure they get it.

♪ To see the whole thing

♪ Is an opening...

Thanks, Sarah.

Mm.

ELLEN:
This week hasn't been easy.

I tried to get a job,

something to keep me busy,

and no one's hiring.

Seems like the shadows
of my past

are longer than I realized.

And then to make things worse,

my daughter
admitted that she lied

about the results
of a paternity test.

A test that...

...revealed
that I'm a grandmother.

Um, in the past
all of that would've sent me

right to the bottom of a bottle,

but today it's brought me here.

So much of modern life
is binary.

It's on, off. Hot, cold.

Good or bad.

And the truth is we all live
somewhere in between.

All we can do
is try our best to be

the person that we want to be

and just to keep on trying
whenever we fail.

So, from now on,
that's what I'm gonna do.

To live in the trying.

The trying is all.

[punk music playing][indistinct chatter]

GROVER:Sarah?

What the hell happened to you?

Oh, I caught an elbow
to the face during the opener.

You okay?

Yeah. If you're still bleeding,
you're still breathing, right?

I had no idea you
were coming tonight.

What the hell
are you doing here?

When you need to repent,
you go to church.

Contrition by mosh pit.

Yeah, something like that.[grunts]

[chuckles]

You know you don't got to
be so hard on yourself?

Oh, you're kidding me.

You were just trying to help."I was just trying to help."

Like Brutus.

You know what
your problem is?

I'm a liar.Mm-hmm.

I'm a lying liar who lies.

Yeah, you don't know
how to forgive.

I know how to forgive.

I'm not talking about
other people, Sarah.

I'm talking about you
forgiving yourself.

Grover,

I hurt the people
in the world

that I'm supposed
to care the most about.

What do you want me to do?

I want you to remember
that you are human.

I want you to remember

that you've spent
your whole life

worrying about everyone
in this town but yourself.

And I'm not talking about
this leadership thing.

I'm talking about
your friends, Sarah.

We need you to
forgive yourself.

Why?

AJ slept with a
married woman.

Danny cheated
on his fiancée.

Corinne cheated
on her husband.

They've all made mistakes,

and they're terrified
that those mistakes

are going to
swallow them whole.

Now, if you can do what you
did and come back from it,

maybe, just maybe,

there's hope for the
rest of us. [chuckles]

You're our North Star.

You always have been.

You didn't ask
for this, to be...

to be this person
for everyone.

Those that keep the wolves
at bay always get bitten.

But hey.

If you're still bleeding,

you're still breathing.

Hi.

Adam and Josh are...

They're coming home
this morning, so you should go.

I will,
but I'm not gonna go far.

What does that mean?

It means I'm staying in Greylock

for the foreseeable future.

I appreciate your help
with the custody case,

but that doesn't mean
that we can just...I'm staying

for Josh.

I'd like to get
to know him,

if that's okay.

Things are gonna be really
complicated with our new normal.

♪ Listen here, listen close...

What is your new normal?

Adam and I are staying in
this house in separate bedrooms

until we can explain everything
to Josh.

It is gonna be
really hard on him.

I don't want to make it harder
by adding a third parent

to the equation.I get it.

I'll wait
as long as you want me to.

♪ Kept the ones
who lost control... ♪

Look,

Danny, if you stay,

if you decide
to become a part of Josh's life,

you can't abandon him
like you abandoned me.

If you're gonna be in,
you have to be all in.

I'm not going anywhere, Corinne.

you went away... ♪

Sarah helped me to realize
that it's time to stop running.

So...

here I am.

Yeah.So did I.
