00:39:41No, we've been through this.
00:39:45No, Eli.
00:39:46Can I adopt a turtle?
00:39:48Yeah, sure, honey.
00:39:49No, absolutely not.
00:39:51I have been clear about this from the get-go.
00:39:54No, keep it on.
00:39:55We're talking funding, everything.
00:39:57Can I go to the park?
00:39:58Yeah, sure, honey.
00:40:01No.
00:40:02I'm pulling up the notes, okay?
00:40:04I will not be backing down from education reform.
00:40:07Keep the pressure on.
00:40:11We've gone over this over and over again.
00:40:27This is my entire campaign.
00:40:29Eli, of course you have to know this.
00:40:31This is why we pay you.
00:40:33What do you mean?
00:40:33Get them in touch.
00:40:35For sure, but I just think that, just do the job that you got.
00:40:41Skye?
00:40:42It would just blow a bit nicer in the-
00:40:44Hey, hey, hey.
00:40:45What's up?
00:40:46Where's Skye?
00:40:47What?
00:40:48Where's my daughter?
00:40:56Skye?
00:40:57You're joking, right?
00:40:59Skye!
00:41:00Oh, my God.
00:41:01Skye!
00:41:03Skye!
00:41:03Oh, my God.
00:41:04Oh, my God.
00:41:05No, this isn't funny.
00:41:07Skye!
00:41:08She was right here!
00:41:10What do you mean, she was just right here?
00:41:11Can I go to the park?
00:41:14Oh, my God.
00:41:15She asked me, and I wasn't listening.
00:41:19Laura, what are you saying?
00:41:21She wanted to go to the park.
00:41:23Park?
00:41:24Jesus Christ, I gave you one job.
00:41:26No, I'm sorry.
00:41:27One job!
00:41:30Fuck.
00:41:35Skye!
00:41:36Skye!
00:41:37Skye!
00:41:38Her dress has a tracker.
00:41:40She's close.
00:41:41Let's split up.
00:41:43Skye!
00:41:45Let me go!
00:41:49Help!
00:41:50Let me go!
00:41:52Skye!
00:41:54Stay back!
00:41:58Please, take this!
00:41:59Please, take all of it!
00:42:00I'm begging you!
00:42:01Just let her go!
00:42:03Generous.
00:42:05That's his worth a lot more.
00:42:06No, please!
00:42:11You stole my daughter?
00:42:13No!
00:42:19You came after my family?
00:42:21Come on!
00:42:30Luke!
00:42:30Luke, Luke!
00:42:30Skye!
00:42:31Stop!
00:42:34Come here, Skye.
00:42:41It's okay.
00:42:42It's okay.
00:42:42It's okay.
00:42:42I gave you one condition.
00:42:47Skye safety.
00:42:48That was the only thing that mattered, but you couldn't even handle that.
00:42:51You know, I thought she was more than just a business deal to you, but I guess I was wrong.
00:42:55You don't know what it's like to protect the family because you've never had one.
00:42:59If the deal is off, don't come near us ever again.
00:43:02No, but wait, you need money for her school.
00:43:04Not your money.
00:43:06Stay the hell away from us.
00:43:07Dad, Mom didn't do anything wrong!
00:43:09She's not your mother!
00:43:11We'll leave.
00:43:11Let's go.
00:43:12Let's go.
00:43:42Oh my god, you did!
00:43:46Okay, well, are you going to keep crying like you're 12 or are you actually going to go do
00:43:51something about it?
00:43:52You do remember that I'm your boss, right?
00:43:54Sure.
00:43:55And this is a campaign issue.
00:43:57Now go get him back.
00:43:58Well, well, look who finally came to the census.
00:44:17Where do I sign?
00:44:18Luke!
00:44:34I'm glad you're here.
00:44:39Saves me a trip.
00:44:46These were gifts.
00:44:47And now they're returned.
00:44:49We don't need anything from you.
00:45:00Luke,
00:45:01You promised Skye you would stop fighting.
00:45:05You swore to her.
00:45:13Go home, Nora.
00:45:14You swore to her.
00:45:38Well, now, what can I do for you?
00:45:59You run bets on your own fighters.
00:46:03Unlicensed, off the books, and highly profitable.
00:46:07Future senator blackmailing a bookie?
00:46:10Makes for a good headline.
00:46:12Blackmail? No.
00:46:14No, I'm offering administrative protection.
00:46:17And, as a sign of goodwill,
00:46:21you'll make sure Luke Maddox goes down
00:46:23and doesn't get back up.
00:46:35I don't care how.
00:46:37Take him out.
00:46:39And this is just the beginning.
00:46:56Finally,
00:46:57some decent people in the administration.
00:47:00Cheers.
00:47:04Indeed.
00:47:11Laura didn't do anything wrong.
00:47:14Skye, honey, look, we talked about this.
00:47:16We don't need anyone else.
00:47:18Yeah!
00:47:19Maybe you don't.
00:47:20I need to tell you something.
00:47:24There's going to be a fight.
00:47:27You lied to me.
00:47:28Just listen.
00:47:29You said you'd never fight again.
00:47:31I have to.
00:47:31No, you just want to.
00:47:34You can't promise that you won't get hurt.
00:47:36I swear.
00:47:44You're not allowed to get hurt.
00:47:46Don't be sure and tell the other guy.
00:47:49Come here.
00:47:49It's going to be okay.
00:47:54I promise.
00:47:54I promise.
00:47:55It's going to be okay.
00:47:57I'm not allowed to get hurt.
00:48:01You're not allowed to get hurt.
00:48:04I want to get hurt.
00:48:04If we are going to take butter,
00:48:05you're not allowed to get hurt.
00:48:07It's going to be okay.
00:48:07Luke!
00:48:29You shouldn't be here.
00:48:31Walter's here. Something is wrong.
00:48:33I can feel it. Please don't do this.
00:48:35It's not for me, but for Skye.
00:48:37I'm doing this fight for her.
00:48:41Luke, please.
00:48:44It's not too late to call it off.
00:48:58Hey.
00:48:59Anything you want to tell me?
00:49:29Yeah, Duff could take a fall in the sixth round.
00:49:32You have nothing to worry about.
00:49:35As long as you stay focused.
00:49:38Get in there.
00:49:54Luke, please!
00:49:56No.
00:49:59You got it!
00:50:17Something's not right!
00:50:19Call off the fight!
00:50:20Relax.
00:50:22Punch is part of the job.
00:50:23Get off!
00:50:25Punch!
00:50:29Come around, baby!
00:50:31Look out!
00:50:47Get off!
00:50:48What the hell was that, Maddox?
00:50:56Huh?
00:50:57You went off script.
00:50:58Yeah, so did your guy.
00:51:00His gloves are loaded.
00:51:01You have no idea who's watching this.
00:51:04People with a lot of cash and a lot of power, and they don't like surprises, right?
00:51:10Trust me.
00:51:11You don't want them turning their attention to you, Luke.
00:51:18That's Maddox to you.
00:51:44Yeah, Luke, keep it up!
00:51:48Woo!
00:51:50Now this is a show!
00:51:53You know, you're welcome to hate the guy across from you, but you might want to save some of that for the woman cheering behind you.
00:52:04Well, I'll save you the time.
00:52:05Insurance rejection, treatment denial.
00:52:08Signed and sealed by none other than Nora West.
00:52:12Your supposed family.
00:52:14Oh, and oh yeah, she knew.
00:52:16I found these in her office.
00:52:18She let your wife die, and still showed up playing family.
00:52:22Jerry, hi!
00:52:39No!
00:52:40No!
00:52:48No!
00:52:49You promised you wouldn't get hurt.
00:53:12He can't go.
00:53:14Not like Mom.
00:53:15I know.
00:53:16Everything's going to be okay.
00:53:18I'm here.
00:53:19We're together.
00:53:21He's going to get better, all right?
00:53:23I promise.
00:53:29You are?
00:53:31His wife.
00:53:33The scans show a cerebral hemorrhage, bleeding in the brain.
00:53:37We've stabilized him, but he's in a coma.
00:53:40So, what do we do now?
00:53:41Right now, all we can do is wait.
00:53:43I've been trying to reach you.
00:53:55The debate is tomorrow.
00:53:56Are you still trying to be senator or what?
00:54:03We'll be ready.
00:54:03Mr. Kane, your response to Ms. West's education plan?
00:54:18Very ambitious.
00:54:20For someone who clearly has no idea what she's talking about.
00:54:24We need real policy, not idiotic idealism.
00:54:28If ambition scares you, Mr. Kane, maybe you're in the wrong race.
00:54:32I believe in reform that uplifts every family, not just my opponent and his friends.
00:54:44Speaking of family, I'm truly sorry to hear about Mr. West.
00:54:48It takes real strength to be here while he's fighting for his life.
00:54:56And that deserves our respect, huh?
00:55:03Taking care of a child while her father is practically dead.
00:55:07It's so hard for you to keep your family stable.
00:55:09Can you really lead this state on your own?
00:55:12He's not dead.
00:55:13Of course, of course not, no.
00:55:19But maybe this is an opportunity for you to focus on what's really important.
00:55:24Your daughter.
00:55:25And when I'm re-elected, I promise to fight for single mothers.
00:55:30Just like you.
00:55:32Ms. West, your response?
00:55:41That concludes our debate.
00:55:43Hi, baby.
00:55:54Are you okay?
00:55:56Yeah.
00:55:59Great.
00:56:02Tough night.
00:56:04But you held your ground.
00:56:06And you.
00:56:07You're a brave little girl, just like your mommy.
00:56:10Don't touch her.
00:56:11Relax.
00:56:13Just being friendly.
00:56:15You know, my offer still stands.
00:56:18This is all over.
00:56:20I want you on my team.
00:56:22I already have a position in mind.
00:56:26You son of a...
00:56:27Leave us alone.
00:56:32Come on.
00:56:32I want a DNA test.
00:56:41Quietly.
00:56:45Jeep in a heap.
00:56:46Sheep weep.
00:56:49Sheep sweep the heap.
00:56:51Jeep for sale.
00:56:52Sheep.
00:56:53It's your favorite.
00:56:57Remember?
00:57:04All right, kiddo.
00:57:06Time for homework.
00:57:06Luke.
00:57:21Luke.
00:57:22You made a promise.
00:57:25Please.
00:57:26I'm begging you.
00:57:28Please.
00:57:29You have to come back.
00:57:31I can't do this without you.
00:57:32Luke.
00:57:36Luke.
00:57:38Luke.
00:57:40Oh my god.
00:57:42Luke, you're awake.
00:57:43You came back.
00:57:47Hi.
00:57:48Hi.
00:57:50Skye.
00:57:51She's here.
00:57:52She didn't leave your side.
00:57:56Neither did you.
00:57:58She's been reading to you every night.
00:58:01Is it true, Nora?
00:58:03Walter said that you signed the insurance denial.
00:58:06The one that killed my wife.
00:58:09Dad!
00:58:11Baby.
00:58:12Hey, baby.
00:58:15You promised you wouldn't get hurt.
00:58:17I know.
00:58:18I'm sorry.
00:58:20Listen, I heard your voice.
00:58:21It brought me back.
00:58:25Luke.
00:58:25Walter wasn't lying.
00:58:31You, uh...
00:58:33You killed her.
00:58:37I'm so sorry.
00:58:40But, um...
00:58:41For what it's worth,
00:58:42back then, the Hiress
00:58:44had to be signing all of these contracts for them.
00:58:47And it was their way of dodging all responsibility.
00:58:51I just signed what I was told to sign.
00:58:53I'll stay out of your lives from now on.
00:59:01Don't go.
00:59:04I can't put you in Skye in danger.
00:59:12You!
00:59:12I have to do this...
00:59:18alone.
00:59:19No, you don't.
00:59:22You don't have to do anything alone.
00:59:24I don't even know a horse.
00:59:32I don't even know a horse.
00:59:45Is it true that Nora has a daughter?
00:59:54There's something I need to confess.
01:00:00Apologies for the delay.
01:00:02My wife and I are very happy to be here.
01:00:05If your mom becomes a senator,
01:00:12you won't be seeing much of her.
01:00:13I guess that's fine.
01:00:14I mean,
01:00:15I'll just have my people call her people,
01:00:17and, you know,
01:00:17we'll fit a time in our busy schedules for dinner.
01:00:19Okay, we might actually pull this off.
01:00:26Quite the performance.
01:00:28Since tonight is about truth and leadership,
01:00:32I have something important to share with the room.
01:00:34This DNA test proves
01:00:38that Skye Maddox
01:00:40is not biologically related
01:00:43to Nora West.
01:00:46Nora, is this true?
01:00:48Yes, it's true.
01:00:49Skye is not my biological daughter.
01:00:52And there it is.
01:00:53The truth.
01:00:54Finally.
01:00:56This was never about public service.
01:00:58This was a stunt.
01:00:59A manipulative lie to win votes.
01:01:02He's right.
01:01:04Nora is not Skye's biological mother.
01:01:07Yeah.
01:01:09But she's the one that Skye deserves.
01:01:11A mother isn't just someone who gives birth.
01:01:13It's the person who stays.
01:01:16Who shows up.
01:01:18Who puts the kid first
01:01:19every single time.
01:01:22Yeah, Walter.
01:01:23Nora is my mommy.
01:01:26Touching.
01:01:27But this isn't about bedtime stories.
01:01:29This is about leadership.
01:01:32About responsibility.
01:01:33About honor.
01:01:35Honor, you say, huh?
01:01:37I'm glad you brought that up.
01:01:38Let's talk about honor.
01:01:43Breaking news.
01:01:45Senatorial candidate, Walter Cain,
01:01:47implicated in a fight-fixing scandal.
01:01:50Leaked footage shows him
01:01:51bribing fighters to throw matches.
01:01:53Come on.
01:01:58These videos are obviously fake.
01:02:01They're deepfakes.
01:02:02This is political sabotage.
01:02:04And yet there you are in every frame.
01:02:06You sealed it down, Nora.
01:02:18Now you're really done.
01:02:30It's okay.
01:02:31It's okay.
01:02:38I can't move my arm.
01:02:40Sorry, sweetie.
01:03:04Are you sure you're recovered enough for this?
01:03:06I guess there's only one way to find out.
01:03:08I'll be waiting, waiting in silence
01:03:13To see a little bit of fire
01:03:17But all I see is you
01:03:20You
01:03:23Yeah, I'll be waiting, waiting in silence
01:03:29To see a little bit of fire
01:03:33But all I see is you
01:03:36But all I see is you
01:03:36You
01:03:39I can't forget
01:03:43I can't touch it
01:03:48I need you to be a friend
01:03:52So I'll feel safe and sound
01:03:56You
01:04:20You know, this doesn't change anything
01:04:22The vote's in a few days
01:04:24And when it's over
01:04:26Win or lose
01:04:28We're done
01:04:29That was the deal
01:04:31No, don't do this
01:04:34Come on, Nora
01:04:36You're chasing something big
01:04:37I won't be the one who slows you down
01:04:40And if I lose
01:04:47We don't lose
01:04:49You and me
01:04:51We never do
01:04:53And with the final count in
01:05:05The Senate seat goes to Nora West
01:05:08Congratulations, Madam Senator
01:05:15I couldn't have done it without you
01:05:22Yeah
01:05:22I know
01:05:38Luke
01:05:41Wait, please don't go
01:05:43This is your world, Nora
01:05:46It never was mine
01:05:49Nora
01:05:51The press are waiting
01:05:53They want a statement
01:05:54You did it
01:06:07You're Senator
01:06:07Why do you look miserable
01:06:12Doesn't feel like I thought I would
01:06:15Then call him
01:06:17He's probably moved on
01:06:19Just call her
01:06:30You miss her
01:06:33She misses you
01:06:34Luke Maddox
01:06:50You're under arrest for assault
01:06:52Dad
01:06:56Skye
01:06:57Hey, Skye
01:06:58It's okay
01:06:58I'm right here, honey
01:07:00It's okay
01:07:00Shut your mouth
01:07:01Hey
01:07:02Hey
01:07:02Hey, get your hands off her
01:07:04Skye
01:07:05Hey
01:07:06Hey
01:07:07No
01:07:08Hey
01:07:16Hey, where's my daughter?
01:07:18Tell me where the hell she is
01:07:19Fresh meat
01:07:21Fresh meat
01:07:21Fresh meat
01:07:24Your bill's been paid
01:07:32By the senator
01:07:34They took Skye
01:07:55Someone better tell me where the hell my daughter is
01:08:00Right now
01:08:00She's safe
01:08:02For now
01:08:04You son of a bitch
01:08:09I'm fine
01:08:11You took my daughter?
01:08:15I didn't take her
01:08:15The court did
01:08:17Turns out they're not too keen on fugitives with assault charges playing daddy
01:08:22I'll bury you in lawsuits, Walter
01:08:25Every lawyer I have will be on you by the morning
01:08:28By the time they file
01:08:30Skye will be halfway across the world in a container
01:08:34There's a big, big market for girls who range
01:08:37There's a way out
01:08:39You want me to resign?
01:08:42Smart girl
01:08:43But that's not all
01:08:45My fiance is nice to look at
01:08:47But I'd rather tame the ferocious Nora West
01:08:51I want you to marry me
01:08:53I will sneak into the mansion
01:08:59Take out his guards one by one
01:09:01Luke
01:09:01I will find Skye
01:09:02He won't even know that I'm there
01:09:03Luke, stop
01:09:04Now that's exactly what I'll do
01:09:05Luke
01:09:05You don't know Walter like I do
01:09:07He doesn't bluff
01:09:08If you try anything, Skye is gone forever
01:09:12I'll marry him
01:09:15That's the only way
01:09:17No
01:09:17No, you are not doing that
01:09:20If you two stay in my life
01:09:24He'll never stop
01:09:25He'll always be targets
01:09:27I don't care anymore
01:09:30Not about the contract
01:09:32Not about the campaign
01:09:33None of it
01:09:33I will find her
01:09:35And then I will take care of him
01:09:37You know
01:09:39When I got everything I wanted
01:09:41I thought it would feel different
01:09:43But when I won
01:09:45And you weren't by my side
01:09:48It meant nothing
01:09:50We'll find her
01:09:52Together
01:09:53Together
01:10:23Oh, my God.
01:10:53I have an announcement to make.
01:11:01I'm resigning as senator.
01:11:04The story I told you about my family was fake.
01:11:09I hired actors to play the part, and I let you down.
01:11:14I am no longer fit to represent you.
01:11:17That's why I would like to endorse my opponent to be the next senator.
01:11:30And there's more.
01:11:32I'm thrilled to announce that Nora is pregnant.
01:11:41And we're engaged.
01:11:43They say it's bad luck to see the bride before the wedding,
01:12:07but I just couldn't resist.
01:12:10You had the judge strip custody and took Skye without a trace.
01:12:14How did she do it?
01:12:16Bribed him.
01:12:17Easy.
01:12:18No one asks questions when you're the one holding the pen.
01:12:20You?
01:12:21You're untouchable.
01:12:29What?
01:12:31You little...
01:12:32Don't do anything rash, Walter.
01:12:34Listen to me.
01:12:37I guess it's true what they say about bad luck.
01:12:43Nora?
01:12:44Nora?
01:12:44It's okay, baby.
01:12:53It's okay.
01:12:54Get...
01:12:55Oh.
01:13:01It's over, Nora.
01:13:03We're leaving.
01:13:05Just the three of us.
01:13:06Like one big happy family.
01:13:08You're delusional.
01:13:10No.
01:13:11I am prepared.
01:13:13Everything's arranged.
01:13:14All we have to do now is...
01:13:17Wait.
01:13:18You're not taking her.
01:13:21No?
01:13:23Then who's gonna stop me?
01:13:27Me.
01:13:29Dad!
01:13:30It's gonna be alright, baby.
01:13:32I'm here.
01:13:33How?
01:13:36Oldest trick in the dad playbook.
01:13:40He tagged her.
01:13:42Get him!
01:13:45Get him!
01:13:58Everything I built!
01:13:59Go on!
01:14:00You did that to yourself.
01:14:01Maybe.
01:14:03But like I said...
01:14:05You're going down with the ship.
01:14:06Come on!
01:14:07Come on!
01:14:08Come on!
01:14:08Come here.
01:14:09Come on!
01:14:09Come here.
01:14:09Come on!
01:14:14Come on!
01:14:15Come on!
01:14:19Come on!
01:14:27It's okay.
01:14:29Lisa, hold on.
01:14:30It's okay.
01:14:31Don't go.
01:14:32Please, baby, don't go.
01:14:34I love you.
01:14:36Please.
01:14:46Skye.
01:14:48Hi, Dad.
01:14:50You okay?
01:14:51I am now.
01:15:02Well, I should go do my homework.
01:15:06Love you.
01:15:07I love you, too.
01:15:17You're really here.
01:15:19I never left.
01:15:21Even after everything.
01:15:24You're worth it.
01:15:26Every second.
01:15:28You were the one thing I didn't know I needed.
01:15:32Till it was almost too late.
01:15:40I love you, too.
01:16:01Mrs. Senator!
01:16:02Mrs. West, what's the first thing you'll tackle in office?
01:16:08Go get them, Senator.
01:16:16Aww.
01:16:20Nora West, people are dying to know.
01:16:23What do you have to say?
01:16:24I love you, too.
01:16:25I love you, too.
01:16:26I love you, too.
01:16:27I love you, too.
01:16:27I love you, too.
01:16:28I love you, too.
01:16:28I love you, too.
01:16:29I love you, too.
01:16:29I love you, too.
01:16:29I love you, too.
01:16:29I love you, too.
01:16:30I love you, too.
01:16:30I love you, too.
01:16:30I love you, too.
01:16:31I love you, too.
01:16:32I love you, too.
01:16:32I love you, too.
01:16:33I love you, too.
01:16:33I love you, too.
01:16:34I love you, too.
01:16:34I love you, too.
01:16:35I love you, too.
01:16:35I love you, too.
01:16:36I love you, too.
01:16:36I love you, too.
01:16:37I love you, too.
01:16:37I love you, too.
01:16:37I love you, too.
01:16:54You're all alone. Do you have a dream of a happy home? I'm wishing that everyone finds their place. I'm wishing the world more grace.
01:17:09One more night, one more day, trouble. It takes time. One more flight, one more sunset and dawn. Yes, it takes time.
01:17:27And we'll dance to the downfall. Happy highs, happy run low. Yes, we dance to the downfall.
