Olivia told me you were back,

I couldn't believe it.

- Yeah.

- It's really good to see you, Faith.

It's good to see you, too.

- And is this Baby Maddie?

- Yeah.

You're so pretty.

Can I hold her?

- I don't know...

- Gimme baby! Gimme, gimme, gimme!

- Hi.

- Say hey to your Aunt Faith?

Hey. Are you still

playing in the band?

A little bit. What about you?

You still singing?

Hey. Sorry, I was just helping Victoria

with her dance costume.

You wanna come on in

and I'll get you a drink or something?

- You sure it's a good time?

- It's always like this.

Oh, uh... Faith, a little bit

of a problem.

- Oh! Hey.

- I'm sorry.

- Honestly, Hardy.

- Sorry.

- Honestly, Daddy.

- What're you yelling at me for?

When was the last time

you changed her?

You're supposed to change her?

Well, at least as often

as the oil in your truck.

Now where'd that boy go? Jack?

I told him to go shoot a rooster,

we'd have it for dinner.

Hey, Jack.

One, two, back, front, left.

You are so much better than me at this.

I am so not good...

- I am really sorry about your sweater.

- Don't be.

She's a precious little baby.

- Gosh... how do you do all this?

- This is just life.

And you're so thin,

after three kids.

You try chasing around

three kids every day.

It beats Pilates,

liposuction, spin class.

Well... maybe not liposuction.

What's liposuction?

Victoria, you are so grown up.

You know what?

You are so beautiful.

You look just like your mama.

Come on, let's go play.

# I will be by your side

I'm coming too.

# If you ever fall

deep in the dead of the night

# Whenever you call

# And I won't change my mind

# No, I'll see you through

# Ooh, ooh

# And I won't give up

# No, I won't give up

# I won't give up on you

# You need someone who knows you

# From the inside out

# The way I do

# I've seen you walk the wire

# Never looking down

# I believe in you

# I won't give up

# No, I won't give up

# I won't give up on you

# And I won't give up

# No, I won't give up

# I won't give up...

You ready for this?

Today is the day.

You were meant to stand on your own.

You don't have to be

a Carraday anymore.

You can just be Luke.

Come on.

So, what did you want to tell me?

- I'm leaving the Carraday Company.

- I knew it.

I knew it!

I took a job with Michov Brothers

down the street.

Michov? You might as well

join the Mafia.

Their earnings exceeded ours by

seven and a half percent last year.

Six and a quarter, the year before that.

That's because we're not crooks,

that's why.

How much is the buy-in?

- I'm sorry?

- How much is the buy-in?

Seventy-one million.

And where do you plan

on getting the money?
