PREVIOUSLY ON LINCOLN HEIGHTS:

This car's your golden ticket
into design school.

Right now I'm more concerned
about what Cassie's gonna think.

Why?

The car's for her.

(Cassie)
Every work
of art needs a signature.

Like what?
Like this.
It's a Chinese symbol for faith.

If we can get these kids
off the street

and into a room talking,

we can end this violence
and get our community back.

Peace ain't good
for business, right?

I'm not in that life no more.

I'm officer Lund.

Hi, daddy.

Charles,
what are you dong?
Let's go!

Have you lost your mind?

Charles, you have to leave now!

Now, this is a piece

Vibrant colors, emotion.

It's truly not bad
for who you are.

Please.
Don't gush.

You're embarrassing me.

Really, it tells
your perspective.

But in the future,
I would love

for you to let go of some--

Of my rigidity.

[laughs]
All right.

But the installation
looks great.

We gotta lay down
those tracks, man.

I'm out, lock up
when you're done, all right?

Let's get outta here.

Seriously!
I am not rigid.

Okay, try some of this.

Might give you
what Luc is looking for.

Mm.
I'd rather be rigid.

How did you get alcohol anyway?

Fake I.D.

Okay, this thing has gotten me
into some killer raves,

hot clubs, you name it.

It's pretty good, huh?

It would have cost me
a fortune, but...

I made a deal with the guy.

Seriously,
you are crazy, sage.

Oh, no.
Just resourceful.

I mean, I grew up
with a mom who spent

more time at her boyfriends'
than at home.

Stick with me.
I'll loosen you up.

[laughs]

I found a great two bedroom
for me and sage.

It's actually not far
from here.

Not far from here,
as in it's in Lincoln heights?

You got three jokes to make up
for the grief I gave you

when you moved here,
and that's it.

All that smack you talked,
three jokes is not gonna cut it.

To have you as back up
and Cassie as a friend for sage,

I'll eat as much crow
as I have to.

So we're the only reason
you're moving here?

Admit it.
The heights is growing on ya.

Where else can you get
50 cent tacos?

The tacos
and the right price help,

plus the fact that Cassie goes
to Robeson.

But I'd move to Timbuktu

not to be parenting alone.

[female over police radio]
All units in the vicinity,
alley at 2137 grant street,

10-71, shots fired,
code purple.

Let's hit it.

[siren wailing]

[door opening]

Where have you been?

At revolution setting up
the monthly art installment.

We agreed you'd come
straight home from school

to work
on your English paper.

I forgot.

Your paper's due tomorrow.

We need to discuss
this job of yours.

It's not the job.
So the story's changing?

No.
We closed up early.

Lulu, Luc, and I set up,

and then I hung out to paint
and hung out with sage.

Is this the same sage who threw
a party at my house?

Mom!

You know, I would watch
the eye roll

and the tone
if I were you.

I gotta say I'm not loving
Your choice of a "BFF."

you don't even know her.

I'm not sure I want to.

Not if she's got anything to do
with this new flip attitude

or less-is-more look,
'cause it's not.

I'm not a child anymore.

You can't pick my friends
or my clothes.

Do you wanna test
that theory?

You know what?

You're gonna have to let go
and let me have a life.

[indistinct radio chatter]

Lieutenant!

He's dead.

We have a 187.

Request the M.E.
I know him.

He's a Shiloh.
His name is Kenny Johnson.

Went by Li'l beak, right?

What was he doing around here?
This is all-star territory.

Must've had a death wish.

What do we got?

Possible all-star gang hit
on a rival gang.

Maybe a drive-by.

The shilohs
aren't gonna like this.
Well, I don't like

that more innocent people
are gonna die because this punk

couldn't stay on his own turf.

You know, gang member or not,
he's still a victim.

A victim
with a family.

A family who raised him
to be a banger.

The blood's on their hands.

This whole neighborhood's
about to implode.

Talk like that will only
bring it down faster.

Enough!

Your job is to make sure
that doesn't happen.

Cassie "forgot" to come home
and work on her paper yesterday

and then gave me attitude.

I think sage
is a bad influence.

We need
to squash this friendship.

No, Lund is moving
to the heights

because sage and Cassie
are friends.

But sage is years ahead
of Cassie,

and our daughter's
already picking up bad habits.

If you could have heard
the way she talked to me.

Teenage daughters
aren't supposed to get along

with their mothers.

Are you saying
I'm overreacting?

I just think
you can't blame sage

for Cassie's
teenage rebellion.

She hasn't given Lund
any trouble.

Oh, I see.

So this is
about you not wanting

to hurt your friend's feelings,

not about my relationship
with my daughter.

Jenn.

Don't.

I gotta go to work.

Hey, Cassie.

Ready to watch the wiz?
It's on TV tonight.

Time for our annual
sing-a-long-a-thon.

[laughs]
Can't.

I have some paintings
in this month's art installment

at revolution.

The party's tonight.

Oh, cool.
Well, I'll come.

I wanna see
what you've been working on.

Mm.
You'd be bored.

I'm-a hang
with my friends.

It'll be up all month.

You'll have some time
to see it.

Bye, dad.

Hey, kiddo.

I'm taking Tay to sign up
for activities

at the community center
before school.

They got
a girls' basketball league.

Oh, I guess.

Dad, is it true
that there was another shooting

in the neighborhood yesterday?

Yeah, they just can't
stop killing each other.

It just seems
to be getting worse.

Dad, you promised reverend
Hammond you'd work on a truce.

I know, Lizzie,
but it's a little more

complicated than that.

Speedy breakfast, you two
or else we won't make it.

I'm gonna sign up
for weight lifting class.

Give my muscles some definition.

[gags]

What muscles?

I can't wait to see how much
I can bench-press.

What do you think, dad?
50 pounds, 100?

Ounces maybe.

Yeah, take it slow, champ.

Eddie Sutton.

Paul Reyes, long time no see.

Infamous power forward.

Good to see you.

Same here.
Hey, meet my kids.

Lizzie and Tay.

Nice to meet you.
What's up?

Are you ballers
like your dad?

Lizzie is.
Tay wants to pump iron.

Cool deal.
Sign up over there.

How long has it been?

A lot of years.

Remember
our first citywide games?

Those were the days.
It was the event.

The whole community
would come out.

So what's the deal?
The game's in a few days.

The glory days
are over, man.

We're gonna forfeit.
No team.

Not even a coach.
It's sad.

It is.

That was a great way
to make friends.

Mm-hmm.
Yeah.

Well.
All right, you guys are set.

Lizzie starts practice
in a week.

Tay, you start body building
this afternoon.

Sweet.
I'ma be so ripped.

Oh. Sure.

Cool, see you later
at the Rev's art show.

Ooh---
Sorry.

Hi.
I haven't see you around.

I know.
That was intentional.

Look.

It killed me what happened
at revolution.

But my job was at stake.
And you overreacted.

I know.

Nothing's going on
with Luc.

It's completely innocent.

I know that too.

I miss you.
I'm sorry if I hurt you.

Wanna hang out
after school?

I have to work.

Actually, a couple
of my paintings are opening

tonight at revolution art show.

I was thinking
we could do something just us.

Please.
It would mean so much to me.

And I promise we'll have
some time to hang out alone.

Of course I'll come.

Smoke signals
would be more effective

the way you're abusing
that phone.

Uh, Jenn and I got
into a thing this morning.

It's nothing.

How's fatherhood going?

Easier than I thought
it'd be.

Sage is awesome.
She cooks, she cleans.

Tss.

I gotta say I might
actually have bred a student.

[laughs]

She spends so much time studying
at your house, I hardly see her.

Hey, hey, arrest me, man,
or shoot me!

Just don't torture me
with any more crap

about you guys' home lives!

Settle down.

Why'd you pick me up, man?

All-stars didn't shoot

that Shiloh street kid!

I know nothing
about it!

Nothing, really?
I find that hard to believe.

I'm not active anymore.

Yeah, but you still got
your homies' ear.

And for us, more importantly,
their respect.

Hey.
That's them.

Yo, hands
behind your back.
For what?

Yo, what are you--

What are you doing?

You wanna go in
with him?

Go with it.
Trust me.
He didn't even do nothin'.

Back off.

Yo, what are you--

You ain't got nothing
on me, man!

Shut up!
Will you?

Ah, nah, nah, man!
Yo!

[both shouting]

Man, yo!

Hey, yo, I know
you don't expect me

to play nice
with an all-star right now!

The streets are too hot.

Shots have been fired
on both sides.

Man, no one's been hit
since we lost our little homie.

Yeah, we wanna keep it that way.

Tell that to the Shiloh
street punk!

I'm retired Shiloh street!

Man, we the ones
with a green light on our heads!

What did the all-stars expect
when they gunned down a Shiloh?

Hey!
Shut it!

Nobody speaks
unless he's got info that helps.

I got a witness who can prove
it wasn't a all-star hit!

Now, to me that sounds like
knowing something about it.

Who's the witness?

The grandmother of one

of the homegirls
who lives on the block.

What did she see?

Li'l beak being dropped off
BY A BLACK AND WHITE AT 5:45.

The cops dropped him off

made him shout his hood name

and make a run for it.

The timeline fits.

The homies saw a cop pick him up
on Ernest boulevard

in a gang sweep.

But an all-star could've
gunned him down later.

It could have been a Shiloh

for his homie being
on the wrong turf.

Man, we didn't kill Li'l beak!

Why do the cops always assume it
was a gang banger that did it?

Okay, we'll check it out.
But I need your help.

I want your sets
to play together

in the mission vista
annual citywide games.

I need your help
rallying players.

You trippin', man!
Li'l beak was popular.

People are raw.

Yo, that's be suicide.
Yeah.

The goal is to call a truce

while we practice for
and play the game.

Man, what do you get out of it?

Time.

The cops need time
to find the shooter.

You're ogs.

You claim you got juice
with your set, right?

Prove it.

Don't tell 'em
who they're playing with.

Just tell 'em to show up.

Without heat.
Nobody packs.

You're asking a lot, man.

Gather them on the court or
gather them at the cemetery.

(man)
Don't look at me!
You hear me?

I said don't look at me!

What in the world?

There's a guy in the
waiting room coming down hard.

It looks like opiates,
maybe heroin.

How do you know?

I was a medic
in desert storm.

I've seen it all
and then some.

I can't even imagine.

Oh, you absolutely can.
You work here.

Do you still work
in medicine?

I did until recently.

I was a practical nurse
in Atlanta.

But my mom got sick,
so I came back here.

Let me walk you out.
All right.

So did you grow up
in the heights then?

Yeah, but I've been gone
a long time.

Well, we are very glad
to have you back.

Very glad.

[yells]

[Jenn screams]

[dialogue indistinct]

Let go!

Do you have
im Lorazepam?

Yeah, behind the desk.
Bottom drawer.

Get off!

Hurry up.
Come on.

Kill her!
Relax!

Kill her!

Don't!
Don't!

Don't!
Stop!

We should hire Ruben.

He sensed that guy
was about to go off.

Hmm, what gave it away?

The frantic pacing
or the paranoid ranting?

No sign of a concussion.

Lay back,
let me check your ribs.

Ah.

Easy.

We could use Ruben's skills
around here.

Practical nurse who could
also help with security.

We got the budget
for it.

Does this hurt?

[gasps]

Sorry.
My hands are probably cold.

No, they feel good.

Because of the swelling.

Oh, oh.

Dr. Mario's just examining me.

I was attacked by a--

Attacked?
By who?

By this patient who had
a psychotic break.

Are you all right?

Yeah, I'm fine.
Really.

Yeah, her ribs
are just bruised.

So maybe some ice, ibuprofen,
a little rest should do it.

See you in a little bit.

I came to apologize
about this morning.

I was insensitive.

And belittling.

That too.

But, um,
I gotta get going.

You sure you're all right?
Do you need anything?

Oh, I'm just sore.

All right.

(Lund)
Please tell me you've come
to your senses.

Do you realize how insane
this basketball plan is?

There's nothing insane
about giving people

from different backgrounds
a common purpose

to work towards.

Sports are a great unifier.

And you really think bangers
are gonna show up

when they see
a rival gang and a cop.

You mean cops plural.
No thanks.

This is your funeral.

I want no part of it.

It's your neighborhood now.

You've got to invest in it.

And so it begins.

Okay, fine.

You got yourself
an assistant coach.

Hey, Franklin.
Yo.

You talk to
one Trey's witness?

Any closer
to solving this thing?

Might be.

Take a look
at the ballistics report.

Bullet's from a hunting rifle.

You don't see that
a lot around here.

Are they officially hunting
each other for sport now?

Only when cops drop them
in enemy territory

and force them to run
for their lives.

Hey, a guy named

Eric marks, uh,

reported a break-in last night.

A rifle was stolen
from his apartment

overlooking the alley.

Any word on an all-star
who committed a b&e?

Not that we've heard.

Look, I don't think
they're involved.

You want us
to bring the owner in?

I'm not sure
he can tell us much.

Bring in some all-stars.

We'll shake 'em up,
and, uh, see what falls out.

We're picking up
the owner.

You're kiddin'.

Congratulations!
You have arrived.

If revolution's arriving,
I guess I have.

Hey, first the Rev.
Next MoMA.

Hey, mingle, ladies.
Self-promotion is key.

Wow.
Cassie, I'm so impressed.

Oh, thanks.

Oh, Charles,
you remember

Lulu, sage, and Luc.

Of course.

Hello.

Charles, are you an artist too?

No, not really.

That is so not true.

He designs custom cars.

As in matchbox?

No, as in classic sports cars.

What's the one
you're working on?

A '65 Ford Mustang.

So basically big boy toys.

It's hard work.

It takes a lot
of vision and skill.

Simmer down.
I'm just joking.

Sounds like a cool hobby, man.

Excuse me.

I've gotta get back.

I'm sorry.

No worries.
I'm so proud of you.

This--it's the best work
I've seen you do.

It's really good.

I need to compliment
your work more often.

No argument here.

The color's pop,
and the perspective's dead on.

[giggles]

And I love the way you did that
thing with the--

No more compliments,
or we'll both need cold showers.

Hey, hey, princess,
I gotta steal you away.

Sam Henry from
the Sam Henry art gallery

wants to talk to you.
All right?

Mm-hmm.
I'll be right back.

Don't go anywhere.

Look at miss thing
eating up the spotlight.

Looks like she forgot all
about us little people.

I guess matchbox cars
just aren't sexy enough.

Actually, I should text her
before she leaves.

Thanks so much
for the ride.

I can't believe
Charles ditched me.

I know.
What is up with that?

It was so random.

Watch out!

Crap!

It's a cop.

Okay, chill, girlie.
I got it covered.

License and registration.

This is all just
a big misunderstanding.

No, no misunderstanding.

You pulled out
without looking or signaling.

I know.
I'm sorry, officer.

I didn't see you.
Um...

Our dads are actually cops.

Good for your dads.

I need to see
your license and registration.

Now, please.

[whistles]

Well, what do we have here?

I think you young ladies need
to step out of the vehicle.

You're not watching the wiz.

It's not the same
without Cassie.

You and Cassie

are in different stages
right now.

She'll come back.

I promise.

Is denying your little sister's
existence an official stage?

Unfortunately, yes.

You want me
to watch it with you?

I know the words
to the songs.

Uh, no thanks, mom.
I've heard you sing.

You're no Diana Ross.

That's right.
I'm better.

[laughter]

Hey, dad,

thanks for hanging
that pull-up bar in my room,

but I'm a quit body building

and stick to playing
in the orchestra.

Why do you wanna do that?

Today was a disaster.
I couldn't even do a pull-up.

I could only lift ten pounds.
It was humiliating.

It was your first day.
You gotta work at it.

You'll get there.

Not gonna happen.

What are you workin' on?

Plays for the basketball game.

This game
is gonna be a train wreck.

Why is that?

Gang bangers
don't wanna get along.

They like hatin' on each other.
It'll never work.

I can't accept that
until I try.

I need to put in some effort
before giving up.

'night, champ.

Good night, dad.

Your oldest daughter

is trying my last nerve.

She's late.

Again.

I can't wait out there
any longer.

I'll wait up.
You rest.

Babe, thanks
for the flowers.

I didn't realize
they'd wind up doing double duty

as a get-well gift.

How are you doing
about today?

Me?
I'm fine.

I'm concerned
about you.

The clinic isn't
the safest work environment.

I talked to Dr. Mario
about hiring someone today.

Good.

Anything else
about today bothering you?

I wasn't happy
about us arguing this morning.

Me neither.

Anything else?

No.

But I get the feeling
there should be.

I know, it's just--

You walked in
on Dr. Mario examining me.

You seemed,
you know, a little off.

Wanna talk about it?

Nothing to talk about.
I was just concerned about you.

Okay.
Just checking.

It's good.
Good then.

[phone ringing]

Hello?

What?

Be right there.

Do you two realize
how lucky you are

officer Denis called us?

You're lucky he didn't book you
on the spot.

Where'd the pot
come from?

Why are you asking me?
Ask her.

They know it's not mine.

Well, it's not mine.

Fine.
Whose is it then?

How should I know?
Cassie was in the car alone.

Okay, come on.

What are you trying
to pull?

You're my dad.
You should be on my side.

Give me a reason to be.
Because I'm your daughter.

And I didn't do this.

I'll admit I've done
a lot of things,

took mom's car and plastic,
but not this.

Besides, if I knew that there
was pot in the car,

I would have smoked it.

Might not be
what you wanna hear,

but that's the truth.

(Lund)
The pot's not sage's.

Come on.
Who else's could it--

You're not suggesting
it's Cassie's?

Could be.
You said she's been acting out.

Hold it right there.

Your daughter hasn't exactly
been a model citizen

since she arrived here.

She threw a wild party
at my house.

Yeah, which Cassie hosted.

Are you kidding me?

Sage, tell 'em it's not mine!

I don't know that it's not.

How much weed did you toke?

You think you're so cool
because you drink,

you go to raves,
And you have a fake I.D.!

You bitch!
Why don't you just admit
it's yours?

I should've listened
to Jenn.

Some back-up parent
you turned out to be.

Last time I do you any favors!

Back up, Sutton!
She's my daughter.

She's telling me--
Open your eyes
and stop being so gullible.

No, you just can't handle
the fact that saint Cassie

may not be
so perfect after all!
I don't want her around Cassie!

Come on.
Let's go.

(sage)
I am so not ever speaking
to you again.

Good, it saves me
the trouble of ignoring you!

Why did you take off
last night?

Because I came for you,
and you ignored me.

And frankly I'm surprised
you noticed I left.

Well, I did!

You didn't say good-bye.
You were my ride.

Well, I figured you'd get one
of your new artiste friends

to give you a lift.

I did.

I had to get sage
to give me a ride.

And thanks to you I got busted
for her stash of weed.

How is that my fault?

I didn't tell you
to be friends with her.

No, but you left me there
to fend for myself.

Yeah, the same way
you left me.
Charles.

There was a room full of people,
and I was a few feet away.

I'm sorry, but I thought
you could handle it.

Have you noticed
how many times

you gotta say,
"I'm sorry" lately?

Maybe you should take a hint,
and try saying it for yourself.

[school bell rings]

I can't be late.

You'd stay
if it was about your art.

I gotta get to class.

Mr. Marks, what were you doing
AT 6:00?

Doing inventory.

Can anyone verify that?

No, I was alone.

Streets were empty
WHEN I WALKED HOME AT 9:00

and found
my apartment trashed.

Is that when you realized
your rifle was gone?

And a digital camera, a laptop,
and some cash?
Yeah.

What do you know
about the shooting in the alley?

Well, just what was
in the papers,

that it was, uh, gang-related.

Hey.

He give us anything?

I know this guy doesn't have
a record,

and the rifle was registered,

but I believe he knows more
than he's saying.

Accusing
innocent people again?

Loo, I put the report on your
desk.

I'm rounding up gangstas
as fast as I can.

Any of them
actually guilty?

Well, we'll see if any
of them will talk.

I'm telling you,
one of these bangers

knows who stole the rifle
and who fired it.

I'm not letting this go.

I'm gonna find that rifle.

I'll canvas the pawn shops
and dumpsters myself.

Settle down,
Dirty Harry.

We have a basketball practice
to get to.

[all talking]

You'll see.
You'll see.

All right, all right.

They'd better be--
They'd better come--

[all arguing]

Oh, hell no, man!

Verne, why'd you tell us not
to pack heat, man?

I ain't down for
no fair fight, man.

This ain't no
West Side Story.

Fall back, all-stars!
Fall back!

How can you punk out
on us, man?

[Eddie blows whistle]

Nobody punked on anybody,

and we're not here to rumble.

Cops?
Man, you did us dirty?

You did yourselves dirty.

Now do yourselves a favor,
play hoops for Lincoln heights

in the city wide games,
or get taken in.

For what?

You got nothing on us.

That a new tattoo
you got on, Bryant?

I see you got
a new one too, Ramon.

Gang activity's
a probation violation,

and you're all on probation.

Which means I could bust
you all right now

just for walkin' in
with your homies.

Why are you hassling us?

Shouldn't you be looking
for the punk

who smoked Li'l beak?

We are.
That's part of the deal.

We want a truce in place now.

No gun shots, no green light.
Let us do our jobs.

Yeah, why bother?
Cops don't care about the truth.

The two in front of you do.

Nah, the truth is the cops
are the ones responsible

for our boy's death.

Pigs dropped him off
in the first place.

We know.
And we were wrong.

We're doing everything we can
to find the murder weapon.

Now, the best thing you can do

is play in this game.

NOW, WHAT'S IT GONNA BE:

Hoops or lock up?

Lock me up.

No way I'm gonna play
for a pig.

Take me in too.

I ain't peace-treating
for nobody.

Your choice.

Get off--

Are you serious?

You'll never make this stick!

This is entrapment!

Anybody else?

Shiloh street!
Shiloh street!

[yells]
Anybody else?

More room in the van.

Chill, chill.
Yo, we'll stay as one.

All right.

Let's play.

You wanna do this?

Prepare to get schooled!

I'll wipe the floor with you.

Watch.

Most definitely.

[whistle]
All right!

Oscar!

Desmond!

Jesus.

Ramon.

Bryant.
You're with me.

We're skins.

So I got Luis, keyshon,
one Trey, Travis, and Verne.

We're shirts.
Let's go.

Let's go!

Let's see what

Yo!

Oscar, you see Desmond!

I'm open!

Yo, rebound.

Yeah, uh, you guys call a truce.

Then come talk to us.

♪ ♪

Who's this?

I'll take him in.

Chauncey Hayden.

Owns a pawn shop
down on justus,

we found this weapon
in his store.

Serial numbers match
the stolen rifle.

Signature on the transaction
is a John Smith.

Mr. Hayden says a white male
sold it to him.

I'll bet my pension
ballistics proves

it's our murder weapon.

You think this John Smith's
the shooter, not a banger?

I do.

Once you grab a bone,
you don't let it go.

That's what I like
about you, Sutton.

Look, I got a meeting
with the M.E. on another case.

But, uh, you can show him
the pictures if you want.

Can you positively identify the
person who pawned you the rifle?

That's him.

(Lund)
Are you sure?

Take your time.

He was wearing
a baseball cap.

But yeah, I'm sure.

Eric marks.

Thank you, Mr. Hayden.
We'll be back.

Oh, yeah, it's about time!
I've been waiting here!

Where is my car,
and where is my daughter?

I am done with
our so-called arrangement.

Hey, you finally decided
to respond to our call.

Kimberly, this is
my partner Eddie Sutton.

My ever-pleasant
ex-wife Kimberly.

Nice to meet you.

I'm taking my car,
and I'm taking my kid!

Where are they?

I'll get the warrant.

[sighs]

Please keep your voice down.
This is crazy.

I get a call from the police
saying they have my vehicle.

You're the police!

Oh, you are
so completely useless.

It's nice to see you too.
You look good.

Me, thanks.
Yeah, I've been working out.

I don't have time
for niceties, Kevin.

I'm supposed to be on a cruise,
leaving in four hours.

Your car was impounded
for pot.

Oh, I am gonna kill
that girl.

She smoke my stash?

What?

No, she didn't know
it was in the car.

Good.
Well, where is she?

We gotta hit the road.

No.
You know, not good.

You can have the car,
but you can't have sage.

My daughter
deserves better.

Great, you'll start
on Monday then.

Perfect.

We are lucky to have you.

Yeah, I appreciate
the recommendation, Jennifer.

Thank you for hiring him.

When you're right,
you're right.

Want a little lunch?

Oh, no thank you.

I'm gonna just go
pick something up.

Aw, come on.
Please don't.

I always order too much food.

I can never decide
between chicken and beef.

I'm not gonna eat
the leftovers.

All right,
in that case I will.

Thanks.

All right.

It's quite a little set-up
you got here.

So how's Eddie dealing
with the other day?

Oh, he wasn't
the least bit jealous.

I meant about the attack.

Oh!
Um...

You know, he was, uh,
worried, of course.

But he'll be glad now
that you hired Ruben.

You should know,
my wife and I,

we were--
We were the jealous types.

You know how
that worked out.

I know I'm being silly.

But, you know,
when I was in school,

Eddie was jealous of every
doctor that I worked with.

And it was annoying,
but I kinda miss it.

It made me
feel desirable.

No matter what Eddie says
or how he acts, he's jealous.

Believe me.
And how do you know?

I would be
if you were my wife.

They didn't show, huh?

This could have worked.
I blew it.

Well, you had
some help there.

Listen, uh.

The pot was Kim's.

She was just mad that sage
might have smoked it.

I'm sorry.

No.
I am.

For a minute there I thought
I had it under control, but...

Raising a teenager's hard.

You know, whether or not
our daughters are friends,

we'll be cool.

I wish I'd known that yesterday
before you fouled me.

I fouled you?

The department should have saved
their money.

What a waste.

[cell phone rings]

Sutton.

Yeah, Franklin.

Yeah.
Keep me posted.

Eric marks
returned home.

Powell's
gonna pick him up.

Powell?

He'll screw it up
just to mess with you.

I can't get there.
I'm not leavin' the game.

What game?
Look, the team didn't show.

I'll stay
and forfeit.

You're sure?

We don't wanna let this guy slip
through our fingers, go.

Thanks, man.

[car revs up and screeches]

Stop! Police!

[grunts]

Gimme the cuffs,
come on.

It's 20 minutes
to game time.

Your set's welching
on our deal?

Streets are quiet.
There's been no gunfire.

No thanks
to your gang crackdown.

Then where's the team?
They showing?

Where's the shooter?
You looking?

Yeah.
We almost got him.

We stood
by our word.
Really?

Sounds like you're looking
under the same old rocks.

Do those rocks tend to lead
to 40-something white guys

with pawned rifles?

Eddie's on his way right now
to make sure the collar sticks.

I told you
it wasn't a g.

You were right.

So are we gonna play,
or are we gonna forfeit?

We don't punk out
on our deals.

(marks)
It was self-defense!

Look, I saw a gangster walking
towards my building

with a crazed look
in his eye.

I thought he was trying
to break in!

That was a look
of terror.

Why didn't you report it
if you shot in self-defense?

I was afraid
his set'd retaliate!

Oh, they will.

You made it look
like a gang killing.

That fueled the war.
Not a good way to make friends.

(Franklin)
Sutton, I got him.
I got him!

Powell.

You have any idea
who dropped Li'l beak off?

Why you askin' me?

See, I don't keep tabs
on my brothers in blue.

[cell phone ringing]

Lund?

We got him.

Good.
Get your butt back here.

We got a game.

[cheers and applause]

Time out, ref!
Time out!

Come on in, guys.
Come on.

We're being killed out there.

Nah, it's a slaughter.
Listen.

We are better
than what that scoreboard says.

I know we are,

because I played for this team
back in the day.

Blacks, Latinos, whites.

You name it.
All together and we represented.

Because that's
what Lincoln heights was about.

We've got to prove that
that's still what we're about.

Our community is counting
on us to work as one.

Are we gonna let 'em down?

(all)
No.

Are we?
(all)
no!

I can't hear you!
No!

Good, now we gotta work
together.

Pass the ball.
Call the picks.

And look out for each other.

We're one team
with one goal.

All right, now let me hear it.
Hands in.

Come on, guys.

Now, listen,
Lincoln Heights on three.

One, two, three!

Lincoln heights!

That's it, baby.

Let's go.
Come on, guys.

[cheers and applause]

All right, keyshon,
d 'em up, baby!

Oh, yeah!

[cheers and applause]

Come on now!
Come on now!

Strong d!
Strong d!

Go, keyshon!

Where's that guy going?

Keyshon, help, man.
I got you, I got you!

Come on, Trey.
Help out!

Castillo, I got you!
Keep right.

I got it!
I got it!

Whoo!

Yes!
Yes!

What made 'em show?
I thought they bailed.

They did
till they realized we didn't.

It worked.
Yeah.

(Desmond)
Man, I know you're
not pawing my skulls.

Man, only
to crush 'em, fool!

Yo, we out.

Vamanos.

Well, that was a hollow victory.

Not really.

If peace between them can happen
for a second,

it can happen for longer.

What happened?

You didn't do this,
did you?

I was upset.

About what?

Your stepdad.

Look, I know you don't
wanna talk to me about him,

but you need
to talk to somebody.

Luc knows a guy.
He's--

You talked to Luc
about my stepdad?

I just mentioned it.

That was between me and you.

I had to talk to somebody.

I'm worried
about you.

With good reason!

This has nothing
to do with my stepdad!

Then why?
I don't understand.

You didn't do this
because of me, did you?

The car was
a gift for you.

I did it all for you.

I had no idea
I hurt you that bad.

Cassie, we're working
too hard at this.

I finally get it now.

What is that supposed to mean?

I don't wanna limit you.

And I can't give you
what you need.

We're in different places
right now,

and it's not going
to get better.

Are you breaking up with me?

Are you?

Yes.

Don't you love me anymore?

That doesn't matter.

It does, Charles.
It matters to me.

Did you ever love me?

I did,
and I still do.

Why won't you fight for us?

Because it won't work.

This is
for the best.

For who, Charles?

Don't say it's for me,
because it's not.

You're doing this
for you.

One more.
One more.

One more.

Dad, I didn't think
you could do it, but you did it.

I'm proud of you.

[laughs]
Thanks, son.

I shouldn't have doubted you.

Why not?
I did.

But I still had to try.

Uh, Cassie?

Baby, what's wrong?

Now I have no one.

No Charles, no sage.

You must be thrilled.

Cassie, get back down here
and apologize to your mother.

Eddie, let her go.
She needs her space.

She's hurt.
She needs a punching bag.

Here's your new set
of wheels.

A bus pass?

Mm-hmm.

You've gotta
be kidding me.
Nope.

Ride it in good health.

Your mom got the car,
but I got you.

I know it was
your mom's pot.

Okay, so why am
I being punished?
You're not.

You're being parented.

Now give me
the fake I.D.

Great.

I feel sick.

Now let's discuss curfew

and the consequences
of breaking it.

[scoffs]

How are you doing?

Better than Cassie.

I remember the passion and pain
of young love.

Heartbreak hurts a whole
lot more than bruised ribs.

And what's causing
your heartbreak?

Do you think other men don't
find me attractive anymore?

Excuse me?

Why weren't you jealous
the other day?

There was a handsome doctor
with his hands

on your sexy,
soft skin,

who sees your curvy body,
gorgeous eyes

and scrumptious lips
more than I do.

Of course I was jealous.

You didn't show it.

I'm mature now.

I can hide
the green-eyed monster better.

But since I know you like
the jealous type,

that old geezer
at the pharmacy

better watch out.

[giggles]
Come on.
The way he looks at you!

And that ref today, I'll kick
his butt I see him again.

Not to mention the paper boy.

Oh, he's 12.
Doesn't matter.

He best not be eyeballing
my woman.

My rib's feeling better.

You want me to make a house call
just to be sure?

Yes, doctor.
