If you were to close
your eyes right now,
what would you see of that
terrible, horrific night?
How did you feel
as a mother,
as a wife?
When I close my eyes,
I see it happen
over and over again.
It just plays on a loop
in my mind, all the...
And I imagine
what I could have
done differently.
I don't believe in a world
where things
are meant to be.
I believe that
we are responsible
for our own actions.
And within that world,
is there any room
for forgiveness?
I mean...
Can we be forgiven for
our terrible mistakes?
And can we forgive other
people who have hurt us?
It's a mighty challenge.
Um...
Or do we just force
ourselves to forgive
in some fashion
and move on?
Honey, can you help me
find my new tie, please?
The gold one.
Sure, honey.
Got it.
Mom, what time
are we leaving?
Now. Honey, why
aren't you dressed?
big issues at play this year.
Uhuh, uhuh. A full week
in Baton Rouge?
both the House and the Senate.
-You look so handsome.
-Is that really necessary?
And his endorsement?
Okay, then we'll...
we'll do what we have to.
All right, thanks, Neil.
So?
Well, apparently the governor
is still on the fence.
I'll just have my dad
talk to him again.
Well, at least I can count
on your vote.
Oh, I don't know.
The election's still
a little ways away.
- Hey, now.
- Mom, I need earrings.
-Where are the hoop ones?
-Lizzy, what are you wearing?
-It's a cocktail dress.
-Oh, hell no.
Come on, it's what
everyone wears.
And you are
a politician's daughter,
and you have to think
more elegant, sweetheart,
and longer and higher.
-Yeah, much longer.
-You two are so boring.
I never get to do
anything fun.
- Love you.
- Love you more.
Well, I guess
we're boring.
Oh, I'm okay with that.
I'm just not okay with that.
You two have
one question apiece. That's it.
Councilman Simon,
you've been very vocal
in your support
of gun control.
Are you afraid of
disenfranchising
your base?
Uh, no, I'm not worried
because I believe what I say,
and I think folks
appreciate a man who
speaks from the heart.
This has been
a highly contested
Senate race.
How do you plan to sway
undecided voters?
Well, I have
a secret weapon,
these two lovely ladies
right here.
My husband is
the most qualified candidate,
and he has served
the people of this city
for eight years
on the council.
He's a successful attorney
with countless hours
of public service,
and he's a great
father and husband.
Although I may be a little
biased on that last point.
Okay, thank you.
Thank you.
Councilman, what about
the rumors of
the alleged affair?
Could this be contributing
to your slump in the polls?
Internet gossip has
nothing to do with
my husband's platform
and the real change
he will bring
to this state
as senator of Louisiana.
All right, now if
you'll excuse us.
Our family's here to support
the local arts community
and this wonderful
cause tonight, so...
Thank you.
Thank you, all.
Thank you.
Appreciate it.
Thank you.
So there we have his position
on gun control is unchanged.
Not really addressing
the rumors of an affair,
other than really letting
his wife speak for him
this evening.
We are here live in New Orleans
in the Warehouse District.
Now back to you.
They just blindsided us.
I mean, at least
give us a heads-up.
Our daughter's here.
Do you know how
she must feel?
I'm really sorry,
Veronica.
Ronnie, Ronnie,
go easy on him, honey.
Neil can't control
everything, okay?
Come on, let's go have
some fun, all right?
Hey, nice to see you.
Beautiful
in here, isn't it?
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
Those guys alone are worth
half a million to the campaign.
-Where?
-Right over there.
Politics and prostitution,
one and the same.
Ah, you've
made your bed, Senator.
Hello, sexy and husband.
Wow, Harper,
you look stunning.
Flattery will get you
everywhere and everything.
Okay, all right.
Well, Veronica's right,
you've got to do this.
Okay, I guess I got to go
prostitute myself again.
Look at all these
doable guys.
Harper, if you
were my patient,
I would have you committed
for sex addiction.
Sign me up.
How about that one?
I wonder how much he costs.
I bet that guy
gets whatever he wants.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, oh.
It's one of my
former patients.
He used to come to the VA
programs that I volunteer for.
Oh, this is
really embarrassing.
Veronica? Veronica?
Yeah?
You look like
you need a drink.
I certainly do. Oh!
There is no easy way
to begin this interview,
so let's just jump in.
Now, your husband, he never
admitted to having an affair.
Yet the rumors
continue to circulate.
How did that
make you feel?
I think one of the worst
feelings in the world
is when you...
when you feel deep down
that maybe you were
actually lying to yourself.
You know, and...
...telling yourself
that everything is okay
and that your husband
still loves you
just as he always did
I don't know,
I guess I felt like
a little bit like
a failure as a woman
that I didn't
have it anymore,
whatever that
would be, that...
My mother.
Excuse me?
Video image,
it's my mother.
Oh, okay. I'm sorry.
Wow, she's beautiful.
Thank you.
This is very haunting.
I like it.
My work explores
the curse of memory.
You know, the inability
to let go of the past.
I use recycled materials,
mannequins, TVs, old car parts.
I mean, anything
That way we show
we can't appreciate
what you have
until it's gone.
Can't or won't?
You know, I don't always
get what I want.
Oh, my God!
You heard that.
Oh, that's terrible.
So how do you know
Doc Harper?
Oh, she's my best friend
and colleague.
Don't get me wrong,
I appreciate aggressive women,
but I don't think
there's anything wrong
with sweeping a woman
off her feet.
I mean, call me old-fashioned,
but I do miss chivalry.
Well, hello,
old-fashioned.
I'm Veronica.
I'm Victor.
Victor is
one of a kind.
I'm Rebecca.
I'm with the gallery.
Are you interested
in acquiring Victor's piece?
Maybe.
Just give me a call,
and we'll figure something out.
But don't think
about it too long.
Victor's going to be
the next big thing.
I just know it.
So it would seem.
Would you mind if I stole
Victor away for a second?
I just have to introduce him
to a few more people.
Be my guest.
Bye, Victor.
Good luck with the show.
Hey.
Hello.
Oh, honey.
What are you doing?
I'm trying
to seduce
my husband.
Shh.
Mmmm...
Mmm... honey.
Honey, I really
I need to finish
evaluating this report.
Even you need to take
a break sometimes.
Relax.
Don't answer that, please.
I got to take this.
It could be important.
Yes, Neil.
Okay, hold on.
Let me look for it.
Um... I don't have it.
It's in my office.
I'll be right back.
Yeah, no, I read that.
