(Eddie Sutton) � Previously on Lincoln Heights...

(Jen Sutton) � And where is this fine mansion � of ours?

You lost your mind.

(woman) � All right, Charles.

Welcome to Robeson High.

Charles?

For future reference,

it's okay with me if you want

to get in my business.

I did not mean it like that.

We're moving outta here.

I'd be okay � staying a little longer.

I think I could handle it.

I'm down.

(man) � Did you at anytime see Donnell

aim his gun at your dad?

Just need to know � can you forgive me?

I don't know if I can.

[hip-hop music]

All units and 12-Adam-30,

in the vicinity � of 35th and Grand.

Officer needs help.

Suspect possibly under � the influence of PCP.

12 and 50 responding.

[police sirens]

[rock music]

[grunting]

�� ��

Don't move. � Don't move!

Lay down, lay down.

[sirens]

Get up!

Ah!

(Eddie) � You okay? � Kid's crazy.

He's higher than � a Georgia Pine.

[police radio]

All right, � we'll take this punk in.

You get that bite

taken care of.

Human germs are the worst.

Druggies.

Never know � what they're gonna do.

Good work, pal.

Thanks.

Look, I'm sorry � to take the lead.

I trained you good.

I didn't think PCP � was around anymore.

It comes back � every now and then.

This your first duster?

Yeah.

You did all right. � Thanks.

I'll put out a code four. � This is Officer Montes.

Kid's all right.

Yeah.

(Montes) � Code four.

Good work. � All right.

You okay?

Hey, hold on. � Let me see that.

Ugh. That's ugly.

[phone ringing]

Hey, Lund.

I hear the kid took the duster � down for ya.

You know, well,

maybe if Narcotics � did their job,

we wouldn't have to be fighting � school kids on the street.

Can't handle the street, � we could use someone

to do our filing for us.

Hey, what's the deal, Pogue?

PCP making a comeback?

Yeah, we're seeing � more of it.

Especially at � the high schools.

Look at this--

Kids dip it in cigarettes � at ten bucks a pop.

Which high schools?

Central, Carter, Robeson, � you name it.

You need any help?

I think we got it.

Is that the kid?

Yeah.

Val Montes.

He looks young.

Guy was useless � as a partner.

He's useless � as a detective.

I wouldn't help him.

Yeah, but Cassie's � at Robeson.

If there's PCP there, � I'm on it.

Whether Pogue wants my help � or not.

[distant siren wails]

[energetic music]

Sutures look good. � Mm-hmm.

Feels okay.

Oh, Tay. No carbs.

Your insulin levels were � elevated this morning, okay?

I feel fine.

It's not open for discussion.

Um, where's the goat cheese? � [Eddie laughs]

Now that's something � you don't hear every day.

I am going to pick it up � tonight after work.

That's what you said � two days ago.

Guys, you agreed � to be patient, okay?

I'm working extra shifts.

Okay. � Cut your mom some slack.

What you need � goat cheese for anyway?

My friend Becky likes it � on her pizza.

So...

So these are � my new friends,

and this is my first sleepover � at this house.

I don't want to blow it.

Good morning, � my beautiful family.

(Eddie) � To what do we owe � this pleasant mood?

Is his name Charles?

His name is � Mind Your Own Business.

[Eddie laughs]

[cell phone ringing] � Have a wonderful day.

No cell phones at the table.

Okay, just-- � just one second.

(Jenn) � Lizzie.

(Lizzie) � Oh, my God, it's Becky.

Luke says he likes her.

Wow.

What'd your mom say? � Turn the cell phone off please.

Okay, just one second.

Elizabeth Sutton--

(Tay) � She's using her

"I'm not kidding, you're about � to be grounded" voice.

Sorry.

I am late. � I've gotta get to work.

See you later.

Okay. � (Tay) � Bye, Mom.

She's always late for work.

Eat your tomatoes.

[laughs]

[school bell ringing]

(Eddie) � My old buddy Omar Caffey � works here.

Said we could come by.

Hey, they said � you moved back.

Yeah, I just bought a house � over on Strong.

I know the one.

About time someone � cleaned it up.

Well, the last time � I saw you,

you were getting busted � for stealing doughnuts

from the cafeteria. � [laughing]

Now I'm the one � doing the busting.

You two are guests.

Yeah, well, you know, � my daughter goes here.

Mm-hmm. � Cassandra Sutton.

She's a good student.

Yeah, well, I've got � a smart wife.

And she's not gonna � be too happy

when she hears you've got � a PCP problem.

Yeah, tell me about it.

How bad is it?

[sighs]

It's fairly serious.

What're you doing about it?

It's not what we're doing.

it's what you're doing.

How's that?

You have an undercover cop � at our school.

You didn't know.

Don't you people � talk to each other?

[exhales forcefully]

Did I mention � Luke Presser likes me?

[giggling] � About a thousand times.

And he's pretty cool.

I know.

Has he said anything � since he texted you?

Nope.

It's a little weird.

Lucky for him, � I'm not shy.

You're gonna talk to him?

Why not?

That's pretty bold.

Luke started it.

Have you ever noticed that � his eyes are brown

with flecks of gold?

I swear, I've never seen eyes � that color before.

Actually, I have.

Where?

On Orlando Bloom.

Oh, my gosh!

My new potential boyfriend � looks like Orlando Bloom!

You guys'll make � an awesome couple.

You know what? � That's true.

I promise when � we get married,

you can both � be in the wedding.

I'll be right back.

I totally have to pee.

I have � to tell you something.

But you have to swear � not to tell a soul.

Depends on what it is.

Come on, Lizzie.

Okay, I swear.

Luke didn't text Becky.

[laughing] � I did.

I pretended to be him,

and I used my dad's phone

so she wouldn't recognize � the number.

What?

Why?

Hello.

It's called a joke.

You have to tell her.

No, I don't.

But you heard � what she said.

She's gonna go � talk to Luke,

and she'll � embarrass herself.

[laughing]

I know.

You don't tell her, � I will.

Say one word and I'll never � speak to you again.

What'd I miss?

Nothing. We're just talking � about our homework.

Becky, there's something I need � to tell you.

Lizzie--

Come inside.

We need to talk.

(Charles) � I hear there's a big party this � weekend at Marla's house,

over on West 20th.

Should be off the hook.

(Cassie) � I know. � Are you going?

Yeah, why not?

You?

I don't know. � Maybe.

Anyway. � So, I was wondering,

if you're not busy later, � you know, maybe we could--

Who's that?

Who?

Dude with the music.

[funk music]

�� ��

Nice ride, man.

Thanks.

What'd you have under there?

SS 454.

Four barrel carb.

Zero to 60 in six seconds. � Nice.

You have the 454.

Yeah, well, � it ain't metal unless

it's heavy metal.

And who's the group? � It's tight.

Oh, it's a bootleg demo.

Into Latino rock?

I'm into all kinds of music.

Me too.

Hip-hop,

salsa, funk--

[both] � Jazz.

Exactly. � [giggling]

Great party music.

I haven't seen you before. � Do you go here?

I just started today.

I'm from Obispo.

I'm Val.

Cassandra.

Cassie.

Charles. � Yeah.

What goes on here? � Any action?

Action?

Yeah, where's everyone � hang out?

Luther's Deli,

people's houses, � the movies.

So I'm gonna have � to liven this place up.

Oh! There's gonna be a party � this weekend.

It's gonna be � off the hook.

(Val) � I already have plans,

but maybe I can show up � later on.

Well, it was nice meeting you.

Yeah. � [giggles]

Hey, you guys � need a lift somewhere?

Nah, we're cool.

You sure?

I--I don't feel like walking.

Hey--

You don't mind taking the back � seat, do you, bro?

[engine revving]

What the hell...

[hip-hop music]

Is that-- � Yep.

With-- � Yep.

Kid didn't waste any time.

I know what � you're thinking, partner,

but we can't blow � his cover.

Oh, I'll blow � more than his cover

if he messes with � my daughter.

[Latino hip-hop]

�� ��

Thanks for the ride.

Bye.

You want me to burn you � a CD of my music?

Okay.

Well, I'll see you around?

Maybe at the party � on Saturday?

If not sooner.

See you tomorrow.

If not sooner.

Where're you going, Charles?

Home. � It's just three blocks.

You wouldn't happen to know

how a guy could score � some X, would ya?

For the party, I mean.

I'm not into that. � But--

You hear things.

Right?

Try Frankie Manolo.

He's a senior,

hangs out by the water fountain � near the hoops.

Got a big lightning bolt tattoo � wrapped around his neck.

Thanks, dude.

See you later. � Yeah.

Much later.

�� ��

(Jenn) � Who was the guy

in the gangsta mobile?

Hear that bass a mile away.

Just a boy. � A new kid.

What's his name?

Val.

Val what?

I don't know.

How old is he?

I'm not sure.

He live in the neighborhood?

Mmm...probably.

Where is he from?

Obispo.

Do you know anything else � about him?

He likes music.

Ha-ha.

Yeah. Well, Cassie, � you know how I feel about

you getting into cars � with people you don't know.

Mom, Charles was with us.

That's not the point.

How's it going � with you and Charles?

We haven't had sex yet, � if that's what you're asking.

That's not what I'm asking.

Um...why? � Have you thought about it?

Mom!

Of course not.

Okay, take this out � when the timer dings.

I don't know how he feels � about me.

Well, how do you feel � about him?

I wish he'd step up.

Well, some guys � are really shy

around girls � that they like.

Afraid of rejection.

One word--Get over it.

I once with out with a guy � who was so scared of me

that he would only kiss me � on the cheek.

He's a loser.

And then one night,

I took his face � in both my hands,

and I looked him � in the eye,

and I said, � "Fool, I like you.

I ain't going anywhere."

And then I kissed him... � on the lips.

And what'd he do?

He married me.

Gave me three � beautiful children.

He got over his shyness.

Big time.

Wow, Mom, T.M.I.

Oh, come on.

You know your father's � a passionate man.

Mom.

He is.

Girl.

[Latino pop]

�� ��

[phone ringing]

Hello.

No, she can't come � to the phone right now.

She's sleeping.

Yeah.

No, I'll tell her � that you called.

No problem.

You're welcome.

Who was that? � Wrong number.

Eddie-- � Baby...

You're not getting � any rest.

You can't go in every time � they call you.

They're short staffed.

Look, you're gonna � burn yourself out.

Then you won't be any good � to anybody.

Listen...

I miss you.

And your family misses you.

Mmm.

Mmm... � I know.

You're right, but...

That kitchen remodel � isn't gonna pay for itself.

Uh.

You know, I'll give you two � hours to stop doing that.

Cassie seems to be � in good spirits.

Yeah, she's hanging with � a new guy.

Latin? � I think so.

He dropped her off. � I just got a glimpse of him.

Spanish rock blaring from � his gangsta convertible?

How'd you know?

I was just � at her school today.

I was talking to the � vice-principal, Omar Caffey.

He's a brother from � the old neighborhood.

But I thought she � was interested in Charles.

Oh, well she's a teenager.

A long-term relationship � is a day and a half.

You know, I wouldn't mind if � she dated Charles, though.

I--I don't know about all that. � Oh.

It'd be great if we could just � forget the whole deal.

Still, Charles is better than � that convertible boy.

True. � Uh-hmm.

I'll talk to her.

Well, you know � as well as I do

that the surest way to make her � want to see somebody

is to tell her � that she can't.

Jenn, I'm a police officer.

I talk to people � for a living.

I can handle � my own daughter.

God, if you don't trust me � by now--

It's not a matter of trust.

Now, you can have the best � intentions in the world

and still make � a bad choice.

So far, � I haven't made any choice.

Well, that's good. � Keep your options open.

Till when, Dad?

35 would be a good age.

Look, what do you know � about this guy?

Nothing. � We just met, Dad.

What do you know about him?

Nothing. � Then why don't you like him?

I never said � I didn't like him.

I just said I think he's

a little too experienced � for you.

Maybe I could use some of that. � How's that?

Never mind.

Are you telling me � we can't be friends?

No, I never said "can't".

There's just more to it. � That's all I'm saying.

It's so lame.

Yeah, well, sometimes you can't � understand everything.

Now, I've got the big picture. � That's my job.

Now, as a personal favor, � stay away from him.

I'll think about it.

Cassie--

Just listen to your father.

[school bell rings]

That's for you.

Macy Gray, Ne-Yo, � Kara's Flowers?

Well, that's before � they became Maroon 5.

It's amazing. � These are my favorites.

Yeah, well, you told me � you enjoy all kinds of music.

And I figured � I couldn't go wrong

with a girl that's � so easy to please.

I'm not that easy.

Wait--No, no, no. � Okay--

Okay, bad joke.

I take it back.

You forgive me?

[laughing]

I'll think about it.

So what've you got?

Uh, English with Mr. Stefano.

Oh, you're in my class.

You'll like Stefano. � He's cool.

Hey--

Hey. � Hey, what's up?

I heard he was kinda weird. � Who?

Well, he never gives � less than a B.

That he spits when he talks? � Yeah.

Just don't sit � in the front row.

Right. � [giggling]

Do you have those history notes � I loaned you?

Uh, I completely � forgot them.

I left 'em at home.

I need those � for my midterm.

Sorry.

Could you be � any more irresponsible?

Hey, step off.

The girl said she was sorry.

And this concerns you how?

Look, maybe you should � go somewhere and chill.

Wanna make me go somewhere?

What is your problem?

(Caffey) � Stand back, everyone! � Give 'em room!

Medics said PCP trigger.

Parents are on their way � to the hospital.

Stand back, everyone!

Where do they grow � that stuff he's on?

PCP they don't grow.

It's manufactured.

It's the stuff they dip � cigarettes in.

I'm gonna catch up � with you later, okay?

Be right there.

Bummer trip, huh?

Dude thinks he's � a superhero.

Well, bad PCP � will do that to you.

Could be the stuff's good.

Dude's having � a bad reaction.

You know, if there's � good dust around,

I might be interested � in acquiring some.

That right?

You know anyone � who could hook me up?

Maybe.

I'm not talking � just a few vials.

I mean quantity.

You sound like a narc, bro.

You want me to prove to you � I'm not?

How?

I'll off someone.

Who?

You.

[laughing]

Kid made contact � with the dealer at school.

Student named Manolo.

Now, naturally Manolo � is very suspicious,

but the kid'll stay on him.

I'd like you two to help � establish his bonafides.

You're asking � for our help?

No, I'm offering you � an opportunity.

To do a solid

for a detective.

Build up some good will � with the squad

for when we want � our gold shields.

Exactly.

When you talked � to the kid,

did he mention anything � about my daughter?

Your daughter?

How's she figure in this?

Kid gave her a ride home.

He's supposed to make friends � with students.

He probably doesn't know � she's your daughter.

I wouldn't worry about it.

All due respect, � she's not your daughter.

[laughs] � Well, he knows the drill.

So...you in or out?

(Eddie) � Yeah, we'll roll.

(Jenn) � You wanna do ice cream sundaes � for dessert?

And root beer floats. � Okay.

So I'm gonna need at least � two gallons if ice cream.

We won't eat that much.

Are we outta milk?

Why wouldn't we need � that much?

Check the door.

'Cause nobody's coming.

Tay, that's a mean thing � to say.

I'm not making it up.

Kids at school are calling � Lizzie a traitor.

Jessie made me swear to keep � this really stupid secret.

If I did, I would've really � embarrassed Becky.

So...I told.

I heard kids say they weren't � gonna talk to you.

That's not true.

And mind � your own business please.

(Jenn) � Taylor--

What have I told you about � spreading rumors?

I'm not. � I'm just repeating what I heard.

We're gonna have a great � sleepover party.

We'll be up all night.

Whatever.

You want me � to call Jessie's mom?

And find out � what's going on?

And ruin any chance I might have � for a social life?

No thanks.

All right.

[sighs]

Hi. Look.

I acted like a fool.

Yes. � Yes, you did.

Oh, and here are � your dumb notes.

I don't need the notes.

I don't care about the notes.

Here. See?

Okay, okay. � Sit down.

You're embarrassing me.

That's attractive. � Got your attention.

Listen--

I'm getting my mom's car � this weekend.

That's good.

So I was wondering...

You want to go � to the party with me?

You're asking me out � on a date?

Yes.

Or did someone � beat me to it?

Someone please kill me.

Hey, guys.

Stand up. � Put your hands on the table.

Let's go. � Both of you.

Come on. � Come on.

Come on.

Anything in your pockets � gonna stick me?

No, I don't got nothing.

What's this about?

Who supplied the kid who tripped � out yesterday, huh?

What kid?

Look, officer--

[yelling]

[techno music]

Where the hell do you think � you're going, huh!?!

Where do you think � you're going?

Let go of me, man!

I had nothing � to do with this!

Ah!

Take it easy.

I'm just keepin' it real, huh? � Let's spread the legs!

All right. � Spread 'em, huh?

You have anything sharp � in your pockets?

No.

Did I tell you to move?

Okay over there, partner?

Oh, I got it covered.

Look, you guys made � your point, all right?

Not quite.

Listen man, � keep away from Cassie.

What?

My daughter. � Keep away from her.

He's clean!

You hear what � I'm saying to you?

Yeah, I hear ya.

Don't make us come back.

(Manolo) � Man did you good, bro.

It's no big thing.

Still interested � in doing business?

Nah. � Forget it.

A little bleeding � and you cry like a girl?

Man, you're N.A.T.O., man.

No Action, Talk Only.

I'm listening.

All right, � here's the deal--

The school is my turf.

You don't sell here.

And I get 20% of your take.

Finder's fee, like.

10%.

15. � 10.

Where can I meet your guy?

Can I talk to you?

Come here.

Is it true?

That cop that � rolled on me today--

that's your dad?

Who told you that? � Look, it doesn't matter.

Why didn't you tell me � that your dad was a cop?

Because it never came up.

Came up pretty good today.

Just stay away from me, okay?

Well, what I want-- � Stay away from me!

(Manolo) � Mmm, mm, mm.

The things we sacrifice � for business.

[smooth R&B]

Think you were too rough � on that kid yesterday?

Pogue wanted it � to look good.

Watch, he'll chew us out � for excessive force.

Kid had no business � messing with Cassie.

She's not part � of his cover.

He won't appreciate it. � Gold shield my ass.

Brought it into my home.

I was this close � to telling Jenn.

You know, I can't tell you � how many times

I covered for him � when we were partners.

He never thanked me.

I don't like deceiving her.

Self-serving � son of a bitch.

I don't know what you guys did � at the school yesterday, but--

We did what you wanted.

Next time, � send somebody else.

I was gonna say,

whatever it was, � it worked.

The kid has a meeting � with the supplier.

Guy named Ammo.

So I wanted to thank you.

You're welcome.

It's going down tonight � at some high school party.

If you want some overtime, � just let me know.

That was decent.

Yeah, guy's full � of surprises.

Don't buy into it.

Wanna tell me what happened � with you two?

Not really.

This isn't � idle curiosity, man.

If I'm gonna work � with the guy,

I have to know his story.

Okay.

Me and Pogue � used to be partners.

Yeah, I got that.

Yeah, well, � I had ten months on the job.

At first, things � were okay between us.

You know, like you said, � he seemed decent.

We were working the Water Street � housing projects.

That's tough beat.

No worse than the Heights.

Anyway, one night, we sweep up � a couple of hookers.

Pogue jumps in the back seat � with them.

Tells me to drive around.

I'm new, � what do I know?

So I do what he says.

He offer to take the wheel?

I said no.

You book 'em?

No, he cut 'em loose.

But after that, � it became a regular thing.

Sometimes, � they paid in trade.

Sometimes, cash.

The girls-- � they never said a word.

You know, � what could they say?

To them, it was the cost � of doing business.

And you never...

Not one cent � or anything else.

And you don't rat out � your partner.

But then one day, I find

$300 cash in my locker.

I confront Pogue.

He says he doesn't know � how it got there.

But I give it � back to him anyway.

How'd he take that?

Seemed to be okay. � Totally unfazed.

But that night, � we go on

a domestic violence call.

Some woman had gone after her � husband with a hot steam iron.

While I'm talking � to the guy,

she comes at me from behind � with a kitchen knife.

That's how I got my scar.

And where was Pogue?

Claimed he was calling in � wants and warrants.

I'm out a couple weeks � recuperating.

When I come back,

I hear that he's been � made detective.

[laughing]

Guys like that always land � on their feet.

The trick is...

make sure they don't land � on your feet.

Hey, uh...

I'm working tonight.

I want to get � this drug dealer.

I'd feel a lot safer � if you were with me.

All right.

I can use the overtime.

I don't understand � why I can't go.

Because it's an unchaperoned, � unsupervised gathering

of hormone-charged teenagers.

Like you were never one.

See, that's how I know.

Can you guarantee there won't � be any drugs or alcohol?

I can guarantee there won't � be any around me.

West 20th's a bad area.

I don't want you anywhere � near there.

That's the last place � you'll want to be tonight.

That makes no sense.

We live in a bad area.

West 20th is worse.

You guys don't trust me � is what it is.

Discussion's over.

You guys are � ruining my life!

Oh!

The last place � she wants to be tonight?

How do you know � so much about it?

Um, I gotta get ready � for work.

[phone ringing]

[beep]

What?

(Charles) � Hi, it's me.

I know.

Look, Cassie, I know � it's not like we're dating yet

and I know there can be other � guys and everything, but--

Did you tell Val � that was my father?

What? No. � Then who did?

Your dad's picture

was all over the TV � after the shooting.

Besides, what difference � does it make?

Your dad's a cool guy.

It makes a difference.

Look, I have to go.

Wait!

Can I take you � to the party?

Won't be at the party.

My cool daddy � won't let me go.

Cassie--

Hey Dad, � you got a second?

That's about all I got.

You working tonight?

Puttin' in a little overtime. � What's up?

Uh, I got this question � about women.

Aren't you a little young � for that?

No, not that kind of question.

Hoo!

The thing is, I heard this kid � talking about Lizzie.

And it was kinda � bad news.

So I told her, and-- � And she yelled at you for it.

Yeah. Mom too. � [laughs]

Said I should � stop spreading rumors.

How'd you know?

Happens to everybody.

Not just women.

They shot the messenger.

Huh?

In ancient times, messages � were delivered in person.

If the news � was really bad,

the king would kill � the messenger.

Why? It's not his fault.

Well, sometimes people � get angry or hurt.

When they do that, they lash out � at the person closest to them.

So what should I do � when I have bad news?

Well, if it's important, � tell it.

Then, duck and run.

Or you can do what you can � to make the news better.

All right, man.

I'll see you � in the morning.

Good night, Dad.

All right. � Thanks.

I love you, man. � You too.

Where's Mom?

Uh, she went to the store � for butterscotch syrup.

Hey, save me � some pizza, okay?

You're not staying?

I can't sweetie. � Gotta work tonight.

Mom's always � at the hospital.

You're pulling � double shifts.

I have to make appointments � just to see you guys.

Well, when you decide � to get a job

and pay the contractors � for all the work

we have to do � around here...

just let me know.

It'll ease up soon, baby.

Okay?

In the meantime, have fun at � your sleepover tonight.

I will.

All right. � Give me a hug, baby.

Rrr.

Gotta go, sweetie.

Where are you going?

To a party.

You're supposed to stay at home � and help out tonight.

Sorry, can't miss this one.

You'll understand when you get � a little older.

Yeah, I'll understand when � the 'rents get home

and find out that you went � to that party.

And you're dead.

I'm not gonna tell them. � Are you?

Oh, no.

I'm holding steady as � a favorite child right now.

I want to keep it that way.

Oh, I need to borrow money � for a cab.

Ooh...I can't hear you.

Fine.

Then I'll walk there � in the dark.

Alone.

Playing the pity card.

So lame.

I'll get my piggy bank.

[dance music]

�� ��

(Charles) � You made it.

Yeah, I took a cab.

Don't you think � you should give it back?

You're faded.

Only a little. � Do you want a beer?

No--No, thank you.

Then dance with me.

You sure � you didn't tell Val

my dad was a cop?

Maybe your dad told him

because he doesn't like him � hitting on you.

Oh, my dad doesn't like him � hitting on me?

Come on, � dance with me.

Only if you stop talking crap � and put that down.

�� I'm ready �� � �� We're going to a party ��

�� ��

�� And everything's on you �� � �� And everything's on you ��

�� ��

�� Don't stop �� � �� Don't stop ��

�� ��

�� Relax your mind �� � �� Relax your mind ��

�� We're going to a party ��

Can I talk to you � for a second?

�� And everything's on you... �� � What--What are you doing?

�� ��

You need to get out of here.

No, why?

Because something bad � is gonna happen.

And take � your friend with you.

No, not until � you tell my why.

There's gonna be � a drug bust.

It could get rough.

Oh, my God. � You're a narc?

Will you please go � before your father gets here?

That's why � you blew me off.

It wasn't me. � Listen!

You're 16. � I'm 24.

And I dig my job.

Jeez, you're that old?

Get away from me.

Go now.

�� I knew that'd � make you smile ��

�� But I'm for real ��

Ammo's here.

Let's talk business.

Come on.

�� ��

(Cassie) � Come on.

We've gotta � get out of here.

Where're we going? � Is the party over?

For us it is.

Give me your keys. � Huh?

Your car keys. � You can't drive.

You don't a license.

You want a licensed driver � or a drunk driver?

You pick.

Angel dust, X,

vitamin K, addies, � anything you want.

You name the quantities.

Okay.

I'm most interested � in quality.

I told him that.

My product won't disappoint, � I guarantee.

Sounds like you know � your stuff.

I brought samples.

They're in my car.

Let's say � we get a taste.

[engine turns over]

[dance music]

�� ��

[police sirens]

Move! � Move!

Move out the way!

Police! � Get down!

Get down.

Leaving so soon?

Hands above your head.

Care to do the honors?

Yeah, with pleasure.

You're under arrest.

Damn, man. � You played me.

Nah, you played yourself.

Let's go.

Thanks for getting me � out of there.

What are friends for?

Cassie...

I've been trying � to tell you.

Maybe not very well, but...

I don't want � to be your friend.

I wanna be more than that. � I like you, Cassie.

Okay, is this you talking � or the 40?

I know what I'm saying.

I'm not drunk.

Okay, maybe a little.

But I still like you.

A lot.

Tell me this tomorrow, � when it means something.

Tonight, you can walk home.

Pick up your keys � in the morning.

I can't believe Becky � didn't even show up.

It's because of � what I did for her

that everybody hates me.

Nobody hates you.

Becky's probably too embarrassed � to show her face

after she told everyone � Luke asked her out.

And where are the others?

[doorbell]

Oh! That's them!

Oh, it's you.

I forgot my keys.

(Jenn) � Cassandra--

Where have you been? � Where have I been?

You are my child,

not an echo chamber. � Explain.

Please. � I was just--

Cassie, you-- � you didn't get it?

No, I guess I didn't.

Ah...I ask you to do

one simple thing for me-- � get more pizza dough--

and you can't even � do that.

The store was out.

Who knew pizza dough � was so popular.

[doorbell]

We'll discuss this further � when your father gets home.

Thanks for trying. � I owe you.

Tell me something � I don't know.

(Jessie) � Hi, Mrs. Sutton.

Jessie, come on in.

Lizzie, you have a guest.

Jessie.

I'm sorry I'm late.

I'm so glad � we're friends again.

Uh, we are?

Of course.

I accept your apology.

I didn't apologize.

Yes, you did.

I didn't send that.

You didn't?

Someone's probably playing � a joke.

Well, that's stupid.

What kind of a loser would send � a phony test message?

Ha!

Look, I'll apologize to you � for breaking my promise

if you apologize to Becky

for fooling her about Luke.

Done. � You want some pizza?

Absolutely.

You know, that text message � thing is so random.

I wonder who sent it.

We'll probably � never find out.

Big slice � or a small slice?

The big slice. � You got the goat cheese.

Went down like butter.

I found a suitcase full of drugs � in Ammo's car.

With that and what � we got of the wire,

they're gonna go away � for a long time.

All right. � Damn right it is.

I'll think of you boys � when I get my next promotion.

What a jerk.

Welcome to � the department, kid.

He's not the only one � you have to tread lightly with.

Look, let me just say,

if you're wondering � about me and Cassie--

Nah, there is no � you and Cassie.

I hear you, sir.

See you at roll call, � Officer Montes.

[knocking]

So you went � to that party anyway.

Dad--

After I specifically � asked you not to.

But Dad, I--

Is that Charles's car � out front?

Well, I had to drive him home.

Was he drunk?

Yeah.

So not only did you � blatantly disobey us

by going to that party,

you drove � without a license.

And what if you had gotten � pulled over?

I would've told 'em � my dad's a cop.

I've got my permit.

Cassandra, � you're grounded.

For a month.

No social activities, � period.

If you're not at school

or the library, � you're at home.

Understood?

Do...you understand?

Yes, sir.

Cassie...

your mother and I know � what's best for you.

You may not believe that,

but you're gonna � have to trust us.

And we've got to be able � to trust you.

How can I trust you

when you never told me � about Val?

Cassie.

There are things � I can't tell my family.

I don't like it, � but that's how it is.

it's how the job works.

But know that your well-being � comes first.

Believe that.

So I'll let you � get some sleep.

Oh, um...

speaking of Val, um--

Were you, um-- � Dad, he's too old for me.

Besides, I hate that � funky ol' car of his.

Um, what about Charles?

Dad, you're pushing � your luck.

All right.

Get some sleep.

Talk to you later.

I love you.

[groans]

[sighs]

Ooh.

It's tough being a cop, � hmm?

Even tougher � being a father.

Got a couple of drug dealers � off the street tonight?

And out of Cassie's school.

Then you did good.

I'm just glad � you're home safe.

You know, every time you walk � out that door, I just...

I just don't want anything bad � to happen to any of us.

Baby--

Nothin' bad's � gonna happen to us.

Have I lied to you?

[laughing]

Any more of that pizza left?

Oh, no, no, � Tay polished it off.

All of it?

Uh-hmm.

You know, � I take that back.

Something bad � is going to happen.

To that boy.

[sighs]

Good night.

[calm instrumental]
