00:00:1119 years and it's still the same sun.
00:00:33General, you little snot-nose, you're late.
00:00:39My name is Jonathan Kent, 19 years ago I was a four-star general, Vice Chairman of the
00:00:45Joint Chiefs of Staff and Director of the National Counterterrorism Center.
00:00:49This war is a mistake, haven't we learned enough from our last war?
00:00:53Our troops are dying for nothing out there, they're so desperate that they set themselves
00:00:57on fire outside our embassies and constables, and you want me to falsify intelligence and
00:01:02trick Congress into authorizing another war?
00:01:06I won't do it, not a chance!
00:01:11John, think it through.
00:01:14I've thought it through.
00:01:18They slapped me with treason and threw me in prison.
00:01:22Treason.
00:01:25I didn't betray this country.
00:01:27This country betrayed me!
00:01:33General, it's been 19 years, you've gotten old.
00:01:39A Navy Rear Admiral now, and still crying like you did back in the Gulf War.
00:01:50General, my son Luke Weber is a Marine Corps Lieutenant Colonel now.
00:01:54You gave him his name.
00:01:56He commands a battalion now.
00:01:57He looks up to you more than anyone, sir.
00:02:01Good kid.
00:02:02Made his father proud.
00:02:04Made me proud too.
00:02:08General, this is your presidential pardon, and this is your formal appointment order,
00:02:14personally signed by the President.
00:02:16He wants you back at the Pentagon immediately as Secretary of Defense.
00:02:20Come back, General.
00:02:22The Pentagon needs you.
00:02:23The military needs you.
00:02:24This country needs you!
00:02:26General, please return to the Pentagon!
00:02:28General, please return to the Pentagon!
00:02:31General, please return to the Padaquan!
00:02:36General, why?
00:02:37You earned this.
00:02:38It's been 19 years.
00:02:40They owe you.
00:02:40This country owes you.
00:02:41This country owes you.
00:02:41This country owes you.
00:02:42Russell, I'm tired.
00:02:45I just want to go home, see my son, and live quietly for a while.
00:02:50General, please.
00:02:51Do it for the country.
00:02:56I've done enough for this country.
00:03:00Now I want to do something for my son.
00:03:07I want to do something for my son.
00:03:09Brann, it's Dad.
00:03:11I'm out.
00:03:11You home?
00:03:12Brann's at the field hospital at Blackfire Island Base.
00:03:15He's badly wounded.
00:03:16He's not going to make it.
00:03:18We're still hurting him!
00:03:19They won't stop!
00:03:26They beat you again?
00:03:30It was not a beating.
00:03:31It was training.
00:03:33Training did this?
00:03:34Do you think I am stupid?
00:03:36Lieutenant Colonel Luke Webb says a traitor's son needs twice the training.
00:03:41I don't believe my dad is a traitor.
00:03:45My mom says he's a hero.
00:03:47I believe her.
00:03:49I believe you.
00:03:56If you don't let that arm heal, you may never lift it right again.
00:03:59Wouldn't that be better?
00:04:00Then you'd have to change my bandages every day.
00:04:04Dream on.
00:04:19Look at you, son of a traitor and you still have the nerve to smile.
00:04:25This is a hospital, Lieutenant Colonel Webb.
00:04:27Don't touch me!
00:04:29You said that before too, when I had you pinned to the desk crying and begging me to stop.
00:04:34I was this close that night.
00:04:36Then you barged into the duty room, you son of a traitor.
00:04:41Fuck!
00:04:42I already had my belt undone!
00:04:46And now look at you.
00:04:48The son of a traitor actually got himself a girlfriend.
00:04:51Perfect.
00:04:52Hand her over to me.
00:04:53Maybe that'll wash some shame off your family name.
00:05:08All right, you still got some fight in you.
00:05:12Hold him down!
00:05:15Let him go!
00:05:16Let him go!
00:05:23Luke!
00:05:24Come at me!
00:05:25Don't touch her!
00:05:28You want it?
00:05:29Fine.
00:05:31Stop it!
00:05:33Don't hurt him!
00:05:34Don't worry.
00:05:35You're next.
00:05:37Don't touch her!
00:05:37Strip her!
00:05:42Your father's a traitor, and you're a useless piece of shit.
00:05:46A man like you doesn't deserve a woman.
00:05:49That's God's law.
00:05:51I'm not useless!
00:05:53And my father is not a traitor!
00:05:59out of her.
00:06:01I'll do it.
00:06:03No.
00:06:05I'm not a traitor.
00:06:06Brandon Kent.
00:06:07Remember this moment.
00:06:08Remember what it feels like to be powerless.
00:06:11You can't protect anyone.
00:06:14No.
00:06:14It's your family, not her, no one.
00:06:18Dad, where are you?
00:06:20Dad.
00:06:25I'm your commanding officer.
00:06:27Your entire future is in my hands.
00:06:30One word for me, and your record is ruined.
00:06:33I'll make you exactly what they called your father.
00:06:37For the rest of your life, you'll be branded as traitor.
00:06:40A coward!
00:06:50Damn, I've got blood on my boots.
00:06:56Colonel, that's enough.
00:06:57If something happens to him...
00:06:58If something happens...
00:07:00If something happens...
00:07:02To who?
00:07:03Which one of you saw Bran get beaten?
00:07:04Sir, sir, we didn't see anything!
00:07:07Captain Harris, who's got the guts to investigate me?
00:07:11My father is Russell Webb, a Navy Rear Admiral.
00:07:16One word from him, and even the Tide on Blackfire Island base turns.
00:07:20You really want to go against him?
00:07:23No, sir!
00:07:27Brandon Kent, put him on the deserter list.
00:07:30Seal his record permanently.
00:07:32No appeals.
00:07:33Ever.
00:07:38My father isn't a deserter, and neither am I.
00:07:43Once you're in that book, you're not a person anymore.
00:07:46You're a number.
00:07:47A piece of meat.
00:07:49I can call you up however I want.
00:07:58However I damn well want!
00:08:04I gave everything for this country, and this is what you did to my son.
00:08:10None of you are walking away from this!
00:08:12I wish he did not.

00:16:02General, he's in critical condition. We need to get him to the field hospital now.
00:16:15General, now that you're back, don't leave again.
00:16:21Hang on, son. I'm here. I'm not going anywhere.
00:16:26Dad, I told them you were a hero. I said it 10,000 times, but they still beat me.
00:16:33You protected them, so why would they do this to me? Why?
00:16:53No!
00:16:57No!
00:16:59No!
00:17:01No!
00:17:04No!
00:17:13Ha ha ha ha!
00:17:15Damn, he's dead? I thought we'd get to play a little longer.
00:17:18Dad, you showed up right on time. You should have seen it.
00:17:21This old man was on his knees, begging in front of me, pathetic as hell.
00:17:24And his son was crawling around like a dog. What a pair of losers!
00:17:29And they still don't even know who they messed with.
00:17:33Hey, you old loser. Quit the funeral act and get over here.
00:17:37My dad is here now.
00:17:39If you get on your knees in front of him, maybe I'll let you take your son's body.
00:17:57You dare hit my dad!
00:18:05Navy Rear Arginal Russell Webb. Awaiting order.
00:18:14Awaiting orders!
00:18:32Dad! Are you out of your mind? Why are you saluting him? He's a deserter! A traitor!
00:18:37He begged on his knees like a dog just now, and you saluted him?
00:18:41Shut your mouth, you bastard!
00:18:43Do you have any idea who he is?
00:18:49That's Jonathan Kent, hero of the Gulf War and a four-star general.
00:18:54I was pinned down in the desert for three days with no ammo.
00:18:57He cut a path through enemy fire alone with a machine gun.
00:19:01Without him, I'd have been dead and buried 30 years ago.
00:19:04Without him, our flag would have been buried in the sand out there.
00:19:07Without him, you wouldn't even exist!
00:19:09You're not even worthy of kneeling before him, let alone making him kneel to you!
00:19:13And you thought you had the right to do that?
00:19:15No, but...
00:19:17Isn't he a traitor? That's what the file said?
00:19:19It was a setup! Goddamn politics!
00:19:22He carried this country's sins for 19 years and ours too!
00:19:29While you were eating, drinking and playing at the academy,
00:19:32he was rotting in a cell, taking the fall for men like me!
00:19:35Do you even understand that?
00:19:43General, I failed to raise my son properly.
00:19:46I accept full responsibility.
00:19:47Punish me as you see fit.
00:19:53Russell, you said that 30 years ago.
00:19:55Without me, you'd already be dead.
00:19:59Yes, sir.
00:20:03And 19 years ago, if I hadn't covered for you, you'd be dead again.
00:20:09Yes, sir.
00:20:16You don't have to repay me with your life.
00:20:20But today, his life pays for my son's.
00:20:25Any objections?
00:20:37I'm begging you, General!
00:20:40Please spare him!
00:20:49Dad...
00:20:57You object?
00:21:02General, I only have one son.
00:21:07He's my only son too!
00:21:15General...
00:21:16General...
00:21:18Do you really have to kill him?
00:21:20Yes!
00:21:23Yes!
00:21:28What if I say no?
00:21:32Are you turning on me?
00:21:37I already have.
00:21:40Who do you think put you in prison 19 years ago?
00:21:44Who did you think handed the president that forged intel?
00:21:47Who do you think got to every judge on your court-martial?
00:21:52Russell!
00:21:55Me.
00:21:56Every single day of those 19 years you were in prison was my gift to you.
00:22:04Why?
00:22:05Why?
00:22:06Because you were in my way.
00:22:08After the Gulf War, the Blast worshipped you like a god.
00:22:12And me?
00:22:12I was always the little snot-nose trailing behind you.
00:22:16What, was I supposed to be your sidekick forever?
00:22:18Live in your shadow my whole life?
00:22:20So I put you away.
00:22:22You did the time, and I became Rear Admiral.
00:22:25Your son got beaten like a dog,
00:22:27while mine got to play king on Blackfire Island Base.
00:22:31You couldn't stand above me anymore.
00:22:33And damn, it felt good.
00:22:43Dad, I knew we didn't have to be afraid of this old bastard.
00:22:46Jonathan, even if you took the president's offer and became Secretary of Defense,
00:22:50you still couldn't touch me.
00:22:52I've already arranged a marriage alliance with Secretary of State Caitlin Blair.
00:22:56My son is going to marry her daughter.
00:23:03Blair is marrying her daughter off to your son?
00:23:07Blair is the front-runner for the presidency.
00:23:09Once she's in office, I'll be Secretary of Defense.
00:23:12You're just an old man fresh out of prison.
00:23:15Not even God can save you now.
00:23:28I won't allow this marriage.
00:23:33You won't allow it? Who the hell are you?
00:23:35Nineteen years in a cell, no rank, no pull, and your son's barely breathing.
00:23:39And you think you get a say?
00:23:41Want me to call Blair down here so she can tell you herself?
00:23:43Call her?
00:23:45You even have Blair's number?
00:23:47Need me to give it to you?
00:23:52Dad prison fried his brain.
00:23:55He still thinks he's a four-star general.
00:23:59John? John, is that you?
00:24:01Oh my God, it's really you.
00:24:03You're out? When? Where are you? Are you okay?
00:24:13Damn, you actually called.
00:24:15I can't have you dragging those old bastards into this.
00:24:19Blair's on my side now, so...
00:24:22I'm not scared.
00:24:25But don't make this messy for me, boss.
00:24:28Russell, what do you really want from me?
00:24:30I want you to hand me command of the entire military.
00:24:42John.
00:24:43John!
00:24:45Get in here!
00:24:49Madam Secretary?
00:24:50Trace that call. It came through my secure line.
00:24:52I want the location now.
00:24:53Madam Secretary, the signal came from Blackfire Island Base, relay station FT0791.
00:24:59Get me the Pentagon.
00:25:04Madam Secretary, it's three in the morning.
00:25:07I said, get me the Pentagon!
00:25:17John, hold on.
00:25:20This time you're not carrying it alone.
00:25:27Madam Secretary.

00:39:18I won't marry your daughter, I swear!
00:39:21Please spare me!
00:39:22I'll do anything!
00:39:23Please!
00:39:26Don't apologize to me.
00:39:29General Kent!
00:39:30I was wrong!
00:39:31I shouldn't have hurt your son!
00:39:32I shouldn't have tortured him!
00:39:34I'm a monster!
00:39:35I'm not human!
00:39:37Please!
00:39:37Let me live!
00:39:44Boss,
00:39:45I wronged you,
00:39:47but he's my only son.
00:39:54Neither of you is sorry.
00:39:57You just know you're about to die.
00:40:04Too late.
00:40:15Hang on, son.
00:40:17Dad's getting you out of here.
00:40:19This way!
00:40:20The field hospital's this way!
00:40:21Hurry!
00:40:30Carry it out.
00:40:33No!
00:40:34Dad, help me!
00:40:37Somebody save me, please!
00:40:50I don't want to die!
00:40:52Die!
00:40:57I'm a Navy Rear Admiral.
00:40:58I'm supposed to be Secretary of Defense.
00:41:03My son is marrying the Secretary of State's daughter.
00:41:07This can't be happening.
00:41:10This isn't how it was supposed to go.
00:41:16Wait!
00:41:17Go ahead!
00:41:19Bury me!
00:41:20But can you bury the four great Wall Street dynasties, too?
00:41:27Rockefeller.
00:41:31DuPont.
00:41:32Mellon.
00:41:34The four great Wall Street dynasties.
00:41:38They were my allies 19 years ago.
00:41:46Madam Secretary, one word from me and all four families dump the market.
00:41:52It crashes in three hours.
00:41:53What do you tell the President?
00:41:55What do you tell 300 million voters?
00:41:57How long do you keep your job after that?
00:41:59Are you threatening me?
00:42:01Heh.
00:42:03Wouldn't dream of it.
00:42:04I'm just stating facts.
00:42:09You think I spent 19 years playing Rear Admiral?
00:42:12I'm here because those four families needed a man inside to control the country's arms routes by sea, air, and
00:42:18land.
00:42:19It all runs through me.
00:42:21Madam Secretary, you're not just talking to me.
00:42:24You're talking to Wall Street.
00:42:26Maybe you're not afraid of me.
00:42:28But what about Jonathan?
00:42:30The four families have plenty of ways to turn his quiet life into hell.
00:42:34You can protect him for a day.
00:42:37Can you protect him for life?
00:42:38Lay one finger on him and I'll kill you right here!
00:42:42Ha ha ha! You don't have the guts!
00:42:44Madam Secretary, kill me, and by sunrise Wall Street goes feral.
00:42:48You're a politician. Your job is to do the math, so do it.
00:42:52What's worth more? My life or the entire economy?
00:42:55Swear you'll leave Kent alone. Then get out.
00:43:05The boss has been out for two days.
00:43:14No word from him?
00:43:19Where is Russell?
00:43:20He was supposed to pick him up.
00:43:24Should I call Russell?
00:43:31Have you forgotten what the boss told us before he went inside?
00:43:38From this day on, the four families have nothing to do with Jonathan Kent.
00:43:45You don't know me.
00:43:47I never met you.
00:43:49Any business with Russell Webb is your own call.
00:43:52Keep your names buried.
00:43:59Back then, he was protecting us, Russell too.
00:44:03Nineteen years.
00:44:05Does that order still stand?
00:44:07He's out now.
00:44:09Should we go see him?
00:44:10Call Russell first. He'll know where the boss is.
00:44:19Johnson Rockefeller speaking.
00:44:20Mr. Rockefeller, Russell Webb, I need all four families to move, now.
00:44:25Hit the market. Put pressure on the president.
00:44:38Johnson said yes.
00:44:40At tomorrow's opening bell, the four Wall Street dynasties move together.
00:44:47Stocks, bonds, currencies, everything crashes at once.
00:44:54Son, you know what that means?
00:44:57It means the president calls us first.
00:45:05Bigger than that.
00:45:07By tomorrow morning, 300 million people wake up broke.
00:45:13Their pensions gone.
00:45:15Their stocks worthless.
00:45:17Banks taking their homes.
00:45:20Bankrupt people in the streets.
00:45:23Bodies on the pavement.
00:45:25Then the president, Congress, the whole country.
00:45:34They'll all be on their knees, begging me to fix it.
00:45:40And then?
00:45:41Then what?
00:45:42Then I stop being a rear admiral.
00:45:45I become secretary of defense.
00:45:47No!
00:45:48President!
00:45:50And you.
00:45:52You'll be the first son.
00:45:54Any woman you want.
00:45:56Any house you want.
00:45:57Any power you want.
00:45:59It's yours.
00:46:01Hell yeah!
00:46:03This is incredible!
00:46:04Let that old bastard and his useless son die!
00:46:07Die! Die!
00:46:09Death isn't enough.
00:46:11I'll make them rot in history.
00:46:15Tomorrow, on national TV, Jonathan Kent will confess that he and his son are both deserters.
00:46:44Thanks.
00:46:46We are.
00:46:46Thanks.
00:46:46Dad?
00:46:49You are awake.
00:46:51Are you hurt?
00:46:52You are awake.
00:46:54Where does it hurt?
00:46:56I'll get the doctor.
00:47:00Dad, they hurt you too.
00:47:05I'm tough.
00:47:06A few hits won't kill me.
00:47:09Don't lie to me.
00:47:11I'm not worth all this.
00:47:16Listen to me.
00:47:17You're worth it.
00:47:20You're the only thing in my life worth a damn.
00:47:24Traitor, confession, none of it matters.
00:47:29Let them say what they want.
00:47:30You're my son.
00:47:32Always.
00:47:33Dad, I missed you.
00:47:35For 19 years, I thought about you every day.
00:47:39When they beat me, I called for you.
00:47:42But you weren't there.
00:47:44I'm here.
00:47:46I'm not going anywhere.
00:47:48Not ever again.
00:47:54Shh.
00:47:56Shh.
00:47:57Shh.
00:47:58Shh.
00:47:59An unprecedented financial crisis is unfolding.
00:48:02Just 15 minutes after the opening bell.
00:48:04The Dow is down more than 20,000 points.
00:48:06The S&P has triggered a level one market halt.
00:48:09People of this country, do you know who caused this disaster?
00:48:13Jonathan Kent.
00:48:14A trader.
00:48:15He conspired with foreign powers and sold out this country.
00:48:19He must go on national television and confess his crimes.
00:48:22Until he does, this crisis will not end.
00:48:25Until he does, this crisis will not end.
00:48:29Jonathan Kent and Brandon Kent betrayed this country.
00:48:33They deserted in combat.
00:48:35Father and son, both deserters.
00:48:41Dad, what are you doing?
00:48:43I'm taking back what I gave that bastard 19 years ago.
00:48:55People of this country, hear me.
00:48:58As long as I'm standing, no traitor walks free.
00:49:09Russell Webb, I spared your life last night at Black Fire Island.
00:49:15You swore you'd leave Jonathan alone.
00:49:18What the hell are you doing now?
00:49:22You should have killed me.
00:49:27Last night.
00:49:31Russell, you called the four families and had them crash the market.
00:49:35300 million people lost their savings overnight.
00:49:39So tell me, who's the traitor now?
00:49:42Where's your proof?
00:49:43Madam Secretary, you expect the whole country to take your word for it?
00:49:47You!
00:49:49Madam Secretary, the market is collapsing, people are dying, and the whole country is watching.
00:49:54You want it to stop?
00:49:55Get on your knees and beg me.
00:49:58Don't kneel, and the market keeps falling.
00:50:01It won't stop until everyone burns with it.
00:50:05Dad, that's cold.
00:50:07She's the Secretary of State, the most powerful one ever.
00:50:10The most powerful one ever?
00:50:11Then let the most powerful Secretary in history kneel to me!
00:50:28Dad, look at her.
00:50:29She actually knelt.
00:50:32This is fucking perfect.
00:50:34Did you see that?
00:50:35Did the whole country see that?
00:50:37The Secretary of a State just knelt to me.
00:50:41Madam Secretary, that was a good start, but I'm not done.
00:50:45I want one more person on his knees.
00:50:49Jonathan Kent, you hear me?
00:50:51Your woman already knelt for you, now it's your turn.
00:50:54Come face the country, admit you're a traitor, admit your son is a deserter, or else, those
00:51:00numbers are your crime!
00:51:02Or else what?
00:51:05Well, well, the four-star general finally shows up.
00:51:09You wanted the whole country to see a traitor.
00:51:11Good.
00:51:12Let them watch.
00:51:13Today they'll see which one of us sold out this country.
00:51:20You're asking me who sold out this country?
00:51:23Dad, he did time, and it fried his brain.
00:51:25He still thinks he's a four-star general.
00:51:28Now he's here trying to interrogate you?
00:51:31I'm dying.
00:51:34Boss, you're out of cards.
00:51:38Ah, my hand!
00:51:40Dad, you old bastard!
00:51:42You touched my father!
00:51:43Security, take him down!
00:51:46Mr. Rockefeller, Mr. Morgan, Mr. DuPont, Mr. Mello!
00:51:50You finally showed up!
00:51:54Johnson Rockefeller, 13th generation head of the Rockefeller family of Wall Street.
00:51:58I am General Kent's card.
00:52:01Edward Morgan, 9th generation head of the Morgan family of Wall Street.
00:52:04I am General Kent's card.
00:52:06Charles Dupont, 7th generation head of the DuPont family of Wall Street.
00:52:10I am General Kent's card.
00:52:12William Mellon, 5th generation head of the Mello family of Wall Street.
00:52:16I am General Kent's card.
00:52:18No, this is bullshit!
00:52:19What are you doing?
00:52:20You were on my side!
00:52:22We've been allies for 19 years!
00:52:24How could you-
00:52:24Allies?
00:52:25We worked with you for one reason.
00:52:27General Kent ordered it 19 years ago, that's all.
00:52:31Dad, what does that mean?
00:52:33What is he saying?
00:52:36Russell, everything you have, every deal, every promotion, every star on your chest, I gave
00:52:42you all of it.
00:52:43And now, I'm taking it back.
00:52:46Johnson, 30 billion by the market!
00:52:53Edward Morgan family, 30 billion by the market!
00:52:57Charles Dupont family, 30 billion by the market!
00:53:01William Mellon family, 30 billion by the market!
00:53:08It's over.
00:53:12My turn.
00:53:14What cards do you have left?
00:53:22Why?
00:53:24How is this possible?
00:53:27They-
00:53:27How the hell are they yours?
00:53:2919 years!
00:53:30We were allies for 19 years!
00:53:33We moved markets together!
00:53:34We controlled the arms routes together!
00:53:37Why would they help you?
00:53:38It's fake, Dad!
00:53:40It has to be!
00:53:40They're actors!
00:53:41The old bastard paid them off!
00:53:43No way the four Wall Street dynasties take orders to some washed-up ex-con!
00:53:48Right!
00:53:50Staged!
00:53:51This is all staged!
00:53:52You're all setting me up!
00:54:03You ungrateful dog!
00:54:0419 years ago, who vouched for you on Capitol Hill and got you into naval intelligence?
00:54:10Jonathan Kent!
00:54:11Who carried you out of a pile of bodies in the desert and kept you alive with his own blood?
00:54:16Jonathan Kent!
00:54:17He treated you like a brother!
00:54:19He took a nobody and made him a rear Ardral!
00:54:23The four families threw you bones and plenty of meat!
00:54:26Only because he told us to!
00:54:28And what did you do?
00:54:30For your own ambition, you betrayed the only man who ever gave a damn about you!
00:54:34How many innocent people died because of you?
00:54:36We were blind for 19 years!
00:54:39Backing a piece of filth like you!
00:54:41Boss!
00:54:42I was wrong!
00:54:44Greed blinded me!
00:54:46I'm not a man!
00:54:47Spare me one more time!
00:54:49Just one last time!
00:54:50Russell, you still haven't answered me.
00:54:52Tell me, what cards do you have left?
00:54:55You're out of cards.
00:54:57Because of you, countless families are broken.
00:55:00People lost everything.
00:55:01Some were driven to take their own lives.
00:55:03Those lives, those futures were destroyed.
00:55:12You and your bastard son will pay for every bit of it.
00:55:17No!
00:55:18Boss, you can't do this to me!
00:55:20God, I was wrong!
00:55:21Please, just one more chance!
00:55:22I swear I'll never do it again!
00:55:24If regret could save men like you, hell wouldn't exist.
00:55:27You're both scum.
00:55:29You and that son of Yun have poison in your blood.
00:55:33God, cold-blooded bastards like you belong in hell.
00:55:37General Kent, please don't kill me!
00:55:39I don't want to die!
00:55:39I was wrong!
00:55:40I'm a piece of shit!
00:55:41I'll be...
00:55:44Under Title 18, Section 2381,
00:55:46anyone owing allegiance to this country
00:55:48who wages war against it
00:55:50or gives aid to its enemies
00:55:52is guilty of treason.
00:55:54The penalty is death.
00:55:56Kate, handle them as traitors.
00:55:58Do it.
00:56:03No!
00:56:04Don't!
00:56:04Dad, say something!
00:56:09Jonathan, don't think this is over.
00:56:11You take me down today
00:56:13and your son is as good as dead.
00:56:17What did you just say?
00:56:20Open up.
00:56:21I can drink it myself.
00:56:23With that arm, open up.
00:56:34Who the hell are you?
00:56:41Mia!
00:56:43Get your fucking hands off her!
00:56:50Brandon Kent?
00:56:52The traitor's son?
00:56:53Well, well.
00:56:55Half dead
00:56:55and still talking tough.
