Original subtitles

[Cassie] Previously on � Lincoln Heights:

- Lizzie! � - Dad!

I got you.

You got two minutes � to grab something.

The house goes, � everything goes.

[Cassie] I left my sketchbook � in the attic. Can you get it?

I know you're feeling � all big-brotherly,

but I can take care � of me, and my family.

Nothing's changed � since you got here.

- I need my space. � - I'm sick of your mouth.

It never stops running.

Worst part is, you're a coward. � I got no respect for that.

I got no respect � for you.

Cassie, my mom � wants us to move.

Move? To where?

- Maui. � - Are you kidding?

We have a warrant to search � your daughter's room,

the kitchen � and the garage.

[Cassie on phone] � Charles, the police are here � to search my room.

- They must be coming � for your house, too. � - Already here.

[Cassie on phone] What are � they searching for?

Take this, please.

This have something to do � with those cop cars?

I'll explain later, � just don't look inside, OK?

[knocking]

Hey.

[chuckling] What?

[indistinct chatter]

What do you mean FEMA sent out � our check over a month ago?

That's what � our records show.

Well we never received a check. � We need that money.

With all the earthquake repairs, � we're up to our eyes in debt.

[beeping]

According to this,

your check was cashed � three weeks ago.

OK, well, clearly, � someone has made a mistake.

Or we've been ripped off.

What?

You're not the first � family to claim

they haven't � received their check.

We're not claiming we didn't � receive it. It never came.

- Let the man explain. � - OK, explain.

Defrauded? How?

Someone must have stolen � your personal information

and used it to have the checks � diverted to another address.

No, that's unacceptable. � We pay taxes like everyone else.

We've been waiting � for months,

now you tell us you gave � our checks to someone else?

Are we gonna take this?

Are we gonna take this?

- I need you to stay calm. � - No.

- Jake! � - I cannot help you like this.

- [people shouting] � - [pounding]

People, please! We're gonna � get this thing straightened out.

Cop, mind your own business. � This don't concern you.

The hell it doesn't. My wife � and I got taken, just like you.

Just like a lot of you. � Now sit down and wait your turn,

or getting a check is going to � be the least of your problems!

Please, everyone.

[Jenn] FEMA was good enough to � come out here on the weekend.

We're gonna � work this out.

[people muttering]

Jake, sit down.

[�� The Working Title: � Something She Said]

�� Last night I ��

- �� Leveled with the angels �� � - [knocking]

[Sage] Open up, dummy.

- It's me. � - What does she want?

Don't know. � Don't care.

- [Cassie chuckles] � - [knocking continues]

[groaning]

[chuckling] � 'Morning, lovebirds.

Shouldn't you two � be in church on a Sunday?

What do you want, Sage?

I need a loan.

- Excuse me? � - Yeah, I was just at the mall,

and I saw this � killer pair of pumps

and I was thinking, "if only � I had a line of credit."

Then I remembered, � hey, I kinda do.

What is she � talking about, Charles?

The money from Mack's � life insurance.

You told me that was � barely enough money

to buy your new car.

It wasn't enough.

It wasn't. � So if you don't mind...

...there is � no more money.

�� Why is father on the phone ��

�� Did he notice... ��

What was that about?

You know Sage. � She's always after something.

[Charles] Now, where were we?

[Tay singing]

- Hey! Watch it! � - What? Sorry, man.

- [grunting] � - [people yelling]

Get off him! Get off!

[woman] Cut it out! � Cut it out!

[man] Calm down!

[woman] �� The city � never sleeps ��

�� You gotta live � to your own beat ��

�� So easy come � and easy go ��

�� What is home? ��

[chorus vocalizing]

�� Home ����

[siren wailing]

Oh, my God. Tay? � What happened?

Someone jumped me � then took off.

[man] Yeah, ran up � towards Sloan.

Dispatch, this is � Six-Adam-Twenty.

I have an assault suspect � heading north on Ellis.

Victim with injuries. � Requesting EMT,

northwest corner � of Sloan and Ellis!

- I'm fine. � - You don't look fine.

- Just don't move. � - Who are you?

I'm your big brother. � So sit down.

If you have a concussion, � you shouldn't be moving around.

[police radio chattering]

I was headed down to the � precinct when I heard.

- [Eddie] He OK? � - A few bruises, � no concussion.

It's just a � couple of scrapes.

He's gonna be fine. I'll ask � Darnell to drive him home.

You take his statement?

From his buddies. � Tay won't talk to me.

[Eddie] Why not? � It's his case, Tay.

You want to handle this?

No, you took the call.

When you feel better,

you're gonna have to come down � and look at some mug shots. OK?

I guess.

Tell me you got � something on this.

Tay's buddies say the attack � came from nowhere.

None of them had ever � seen the perp before.

Wrong place. � Wrong time.

I still want this guy.

You got it.

Sam Johnson, 3rd infantry.

[all] Hi, Sam.

Did my piece � back in the Gulf War.

Operation Desert Sabre.

First month in, sniper � takes out a chemical depot.

I lost half my � platoon that day,

along with � the use of my legs.

I spent three months � in the VA

before I could even sit up � and work this chair.

Things ain't � been right since.

- You know how it is... � - [men] Yeah.

...can't hold a job.

I have no family...

...so I come here.

Sometimes I think you're the � only family I got in the world.

[clapping]

[hip-hop music playing]

[woman] Thanks.

Why did you lie to me about � where you got that money?

What are you talking about? � I told you I got it...

Yeah, from Mack's � life insurance.

Except, if that were true,

you wouldn't be � hiding it from Cassie.

And the only reason to lie � is because you can't

tell her the truth � about where you got it.

Look, it's not important � where I got it.

What matters is � what I can do with it.

So you're gonna � spend it?

I think I am.

How much is it?

What, 50 K?

Seventy-five?

[sighs]

Damn, that's a lot of money.

It's enough � to finally get a home

for my mom and me, � in a nice place.

So she can go back � to school and stop hustling

in all these bars and joints � that she's always stuck in.

Then maybe she'll � finally be happy.

And happy with me.

[phone beeping]

You kids and your � text messaging.

Be surprised how many newbies � forget to turn off the ringer.

Good sharing up there.

Sam Johnson.

Nathaniel Ray Taylor.

How long you been coming?

Been helping out � for a few months.

Where'd you serve?

Anbar Province. � Uh, you want some coffee?

It's OK. I don't like � talking about it either.

But sometimes telling your story � is the only thing that helps.

I guess...

When you get up there � you let it out.

That's when � the healing begins.

- You should try it sometime. � - What makes you think � I haven't?

Let me guess. � Roadside bomb?

I lost a driver � in Tikrit.

See? � You're sharing already.

Maybe next time you'll � tell us the rest of it.

Hey. I figured we'd � just have sandwiches.

It's been � a long day.

Oh, sounds good. � How's Tay?

After the shock he suffered, � he should be resting.

He's fine. He's upstairs � on his keyboard.

I just hope you find � whoever did this.

I might have a name for us � on the FEMA case. Ethan Wilkes.

He stole � all our checks.

How'd you � track that down?

I talked to everybody � who got taken in by that scam,

and they all met with the � same inspector, Ethan Wilkes.

Good work, but why are � you dealing with this?

The Feds have people � looking into it.

And that helps us how?

Jenn, you don't know � who could be behind this.

Kingston might � be involved.

No, Kingston left town � months ago.

Real estate fraud � was his specialty.

He would be crazy � to come back!

My point exactly. � The man's crazy

and that's what � makes him dangerous.

- [Tay] Leave me alone! � - I'm just saying

if you don't want to walk alone � tomorrow, I'll go with you.

- I don't need to be babysat. � - Lizzie.

Give your brother � some space, will you?

Hey, Chief. I need you to � cooperate with Nate Ray

- and take a look � at those mug shots. � - Why?

Whoever did this to you could � do the same to someone else.

And the next person might not � have his buddies around

to help him out.

Fine. But I'm not � doing it with Nate Ray.

Know what? It's his case. � You don't have a choice.

[Eddie] You two are brothers. � Start acting like it.

I know you love it here, but � this town has nothing on Maui.

[chuckling] Maybe so, but � I'm just glad you're home.

I missed you, Mom.

I missed you, � too, sweetie.

And I've made a decision. � I want to move us to Hawaii.

[laughing] Not this again. � Ma...

Come on. You're the one always � telling me to think positive.

Well, maybe if we lived � in a friendlier place

things would � be better for us.

I'm not moving � to Hawaii, Mom.

Of course, you have to � finish high school,

and I know how you feel about � Cassie, but I have a plan.

They're building this � new resort in Maui.

Hiring doesn't start � until next summer.

That'll give you � enough time to graduate.

And what about Cassie?

One of the perks � is discounted travel.

So you can see Cassie � whenever you like.

Or she can � come out to see us.

You've really thought this � through, haven't you?

Yeah. I have.

Now all we need is � a little cash for the move.

[sighing]

Don't know why we're wasting our � time. All these guys look alike.

Tay, I don't feel like � sitting here either.

I'm already pulling a � double shift on this,

so let's just � get through it.

[sighing]

- I don't see him. � - Where are you going?

You haven't finished looking � through the mug shots yet. Tay!

[Tay] Nate, look.

- Tay? � - That's him.

[Nate] Rafe Watley. � Armed and extremely dangerous.

[sirens wailing]

Rafe Watley! � LHPD! Halt!

- Tip for you, Watley... � - [Rafe yelling]

Next time you escape prison, � keep a low profile.

Feds didn't know � you were in town 'til now.

Amazing how many people � will give you up

when they find out � you beat up a kid.

[siren wailing]

Take your time, son.

[exhaling]

- That's him. Number four. � - Are you sure?

Yeah, I'm sure. You got � your man, congratulations.

[Nate] No. � I got your man.

- Good job. � - Teamwork.

Can I go?

My mom's been working � double shifts at the clinic,

and my dad's been putting in � tons of overtime.

Yeah, but at least � they have jobs.

Even so, I'm just afraid we � could end up losing our house.

[Cassie] How about you? � Are you and your mom OK?

I mean, you can't stay in that � FEMA apartment forever.

[Charles] � We'll be all right.

You're so calm. � I would be freaking out.

- [tires screeching] � - Cassie!

[Cassie screams]

- Are you OK? � - [people shouting]

Jenn, can I talk to you?

The FEMA inspector you've been � looking for, Ethan Wilkes?

He was at my house � this morning.

Ethan Wilkes? � What was he doing there?

Scheduling an inspection for � tomorrow. I came to tell FEMA.

Excuse me, Mr. Pierce?

We have some information � on Ethan Wilkes.

You're gonna have to � wait your turn.

Besides, I told you,

Wilkes hasn't worked � for FEMA in six months.

But he has an appointment � with Allison tomorrow.

We know where he'll be.

Write down � the information

and I'll get it � to the fraud department.

Fraud department? � This is your responsibility.

How many weeks � is that gonna take?

The government is not � gonna release your money

until they � confirm the fraud.

It'll take � as long as it takes.

I think we're going to have to � handle Ethan Wilkes ourselves.

I know I should have never � stepped off that curb � without looking.

I guess I was just so upset � about the FEMA thing,

that I never saw � the car coming.

Oh, my God. It was � so scary. Charles saved me.

Oh, Cassie. Cassie.

I'm fine, Mom. It was � just an accident.

We're looking into that.

What do you mean?

Don't panic, but Nate Ray � and I arrested Tay's attacker

and he admitted he was � paid to go after Tay.

Eddie.

Why would � somebody do that?

- Paid? By who? � - Some stranger on the street

gave him a couple � hundred dollars.

You think this thing � with Cassie's connected?

- It's a possibility. � - Then we need protection.

Without real proof � we're being targeted,

the department won't � spare the manpower.

Then what are � we gonna do, Dad?

How do we know someone else � isn't gonna come after us?

We don't. In the meantime, none � of you goes to school alone.

Either I or your mother � drives you, no exceptions.

What about the community garden? � I signed up for tomorrow.

I'll take you. As long as Jake � or someone from the group

is there, you can stay.

Don't worry.

We're gonna find out � who's behind this.

I'll have the guys � check on us. We'll be OK.

[sighing]

How we lookin'?

I put a new motion sensor � on the porch light,

cut back the hedges � near the windows,

ran a diagnostic check � on the alarm system

and, uh, checked my weapon.

[Nate] I'll stay up � and keep watch tonight.

You know you did � real well today, son?

Chasing down Watley

like you've been workin' � the streets for years.

Thanks.

You know, ever since my partner � left, I've been riding alone.

It was real nice, � somebody having my back.

I know that feeling.

It was like that in Iraq.

Watching each other.

Putting your life � on the line for a buddy.

You miss the camaraderie.

I miss the action.

I miss the rush you get

when you're out on patrol � or on a mission,

scared to death, heart pounding, � sweating, shaking...

The price of that rush � can be pretty high.

I know.

I've been going to � a support group for vets.

I didn't know.

I didn't want you � to think I was crazy.

Dad, I'm thinking � about re-enlisting.

[exhaling] Whoo!

I didn't see � that coming.

I'm working it through. � Nothing's carved in stone.

I just hate to � lose you again.

And I hate to leave, � but I left people behind.

People I care about.

I owe them.

Whatever you decide, � you know I'll support you.

Thanks.

You having my back � means everything to me.

Mom. What are you � doing with that?

Counting it.

Give it back. � How'd you even find it?

[woman] I needed � a screwdriver.

We knocked over a � bookshelf in the bedroom.

- We? � - Shh...

Oh, God.

He's a real great guy, Charles. � He owns his own business.

And he said he'd love � to go to Hawaii with us.

And surprise, � we can afford to go.

With all this cash, we can � get first class tickets,

and we could buy a car, � and do it up right.

No, Mom. We can't do anything.

Why?

Get him out of here � and sleep it off.

Hey.

I can't stay � at my place tonight.

Can I sleep � on your couch?

What happened?

My mom's drunk. I...

I don't want � to talk about it.

Yeah, come on in, but, um, be � quiet, 'cause my mom's asleep.

OK. Thank you.

[music playing faintly]

[sighs]

[music playing]

[children shouting]

Good afternoon. I'm Ethan � Wilkes. Here for the inspection.

Right. Come in.

This is my friend, � Jenn Sutton.

Mrs. Sutton, of course.

So nice to � see you again.

We just mailed � your check yesterday.

Oh, that's funny.

FEMA said they sent � that check out weeks ago,

and somebody � cashed it.

Maybe you can � tell us what happened.

Uh, you know,

I think I left my proper � paperwork in the car, so...

Grab him!

Grab him, Jake!

[woman] Stop him!

[man] Hold him down!

[man] We got him!

[woman] That's right.

[man] Yeah, � that's what you get.

My name is Nate Ray,

- and, um... � - [crowd] Hi, Nate.

I did my first tour, my only � tour, in Anbar Province.

There was this one day, � we were providing support

for Iraqi police � in Fallujah.

Normally, I ride � in the lead vehicle,

but we had a large � weapons cache to protect,

so I rode back � with the arsenal.

Halfway into town, an IED goes � off under the lead Humvee.

Explosion hits the gas tank � and kills everyone inside...

...including my fiancée.

She wasn't even � supposed to be there.

Her tour was up � before mine, but...

...she got sent back under � the stop-loss program.

Never complained.

Not once.

She always believed � what we did in Iraq had meaning.

So she died � for her country...

...and I got to come home.

What could you � possibly be thinking?

I thought the neighborhood � watch could handle it

and we had him � under control.

What if the guy had been armed? � Lucky we had a car in the area.

Officer Sutton? Special Agent � Cooper. You got a minute?

You get anywhere � with Wilkes?

He wants to trade information � for a lighter sentence.

He won't talk to anyone but you. � We'd like you to give it a try.

Bishop? � Bishop's behind this?

[Bishop] I hear the price � of living in the Heights

is getting so high � they'll kill you.

Maybe you should � get out while you can.

- You threatening me? � - You don't qualify for � threats. Just prophecy.

It's all over � the streets, man.

This guy will not stop until � he's squared things with you.

[Ethan] He's coming � after you, your kids,

and anyone else � you ever cared about.

Two grand a head � for your wife and kids.

Never rest easy.

[Bishop] As long as I'm alive.

That can't be. � Bishop's in prison.

Was in prison.

Who's Bishop?

River Pine Penitentiary � was so messed up by the quake,

they transferred a number � of max security cons.

- Bishop escaped � during the transfer. � - Escaped?

This is a stone-cold killer � who comes after my family,

and I don't � get notified?

We've had communication snafus � since the earthquake.

I'm sorry.

Where are the kids?

Oh, Cassie's at home with Tay. � Lizzie's at school.

Officer, I need you to drive � my wife home now.

Call Cassie. Tell her to � deadbolt every door and window.

Eddie, what's going on?

I need to find Lizzie. � Bishop's back.

[siren wailing]

- [line ringing] � - Pick up.

- [phone ringing] � - Hi, Dad.

- Are you still at school? � - I'm on my way to the garden.

Damn it, Lizzie. � I told you to stay at school

until your mother � picked you up.

Mom said she was � running late.

I didn't know � how long she'd be.

OK, OK. Where are you � now, exactly?

Springdale, down � from the liquor store.

Duck in there � until I get there.

What's wrong? � Dad, you're scaring me.

Don't talk to anyone, don't look � at anyone until I get there.

Uh... Dad?

Go to the store. � Everything will be fine.

[tires screeching]

[shouting]

- Where's Bishop? � - I don't know no Bishop!

- Where? � - Dad! Dad! Stop!

[chatter on television]

Nice of you � to come home.

Look, I know that I was � a little drunk last night,

but you and I � need to talk about

what we're going to do � with that money.

For God's sake, Mom, do you even � care where it came from?

Did you ever think � to ask me where I got it?

Oh, come on, I know you'd � never take that much money

if it didn't � belong to you.

Did you win it � or something?

No, it doesn't belong to me. � I found it and I took it.

I shouldn't have, � but I did.

How did you get it?

Nothing illegal.

- Then I want my share. � - What share?

After everything � I have done for you?

All of the � sacrifices I've made?

We will never see � that much money again!

Charles, If you walk out � of here with that money...

...don't come back.

- Do you hear me, Charles? � - Yep. Bye, Mom.

- Where's Bishop? � - Screw you, man!

Wrong answer.

Take a walk.

OK, OK! Look, all I know � is he's running some game

out of a support group � over on Jefferson.

- Take him. � - [man] Let's go, pal.

Hey there, � good sharing up there.

Thanks.

So, listen, I got some � envelopes I need stuffed.

Fundraising fliers.

Got an extra hand � I can borrow?

I got two.

They're right over there � in that box.

I'll be with you � in a sec.

Hey, Sam, you ever � miss the action?

[scoffs] Nah, � not even a little.

Yeah, well, I'm thinking � about going back.

You feel like you want to go � back and die for your country?

No, not like that.

'Cause you can die � right here, just as easy.

[siren wailing]

[dialing]

- [ringing] � - Come on, Nate.

[vibrating]

Dispatch, this is � Six-Adam-Thirty.

I have a possible 10-55 � in progress.

Thirty-two hundred � block Jefferson. Request backup!

Excuse me. I thought � everyone was gone.

No problem.

Hey, you gonna help me � with these? Snap to, Sarge.

Bishop!

Bishop?

Go ahead, do it! � Go ahead. Hit your son.

- You're dead. � - He's going with me.

You killed everybody � I ever cared about.

You can make the shot! � Blow his head off!

It's all right. � It's over. It's over!

- You OK? � - What's going on?

Gun!

- [groaning] � - Dad!

It's all right, I'm OK.

I had on my vest.

[exhaling]

I thought I lost you.

Sorry you ended up � in the line of fire.

It's not the first time.

- You get him? � - I got him.

[doorbell rings]

Hey.

I just heard what happened. How � are your dad and Nate Ray doing?

- They're fine. � - Yeah?

[Jenn] Cassie! Dinner!

Coming, Mom!

Maybe someday, � we'll get a moment alone.

Hey, Bishop's dead � and you're safe.

I'll take my moments � where I can get 'em.

Hey, why is � everyone so quiet?

It's not every day you escape � a blood-thirsty killer.

We're counting � our blessings.

Baby, if it weren't for you � bringing in that FEMA inspector,

we never would have � found out about Bishop.

Is there an apology � in there somewhere?

[chuckling] It was there.

[Jenn] It's still going � to take a really long time

for them to finish � their investigation.

We're not gonna see � a dime for a while.

Guess we'll have to keep � working double shifts.

Who knows? Maybe we'll � win the lottery. [laughing]

Look, you don't have to be rich. � It's family that matters.

So raise your glass.

To family.

[all] To family.

And to Nate Ray. � For saving Eddie's life.

Actually, it was Kevlar � that saved his life.

Bishop's gone. � And we appreciate that.

I just wanted to say � I appreciate

everything all of � you've done for me.

I've been doing a lot � of thinking and...

...I need to be � where I really belong.

You belong here.

Thanks, Lizzie, � but I need a mission.

I've decided to re-enlist � in the Army.

- What? � - You're going back?

One thing I've learned � about being a Sutton...

You don't run out � on your community.

And I can't � run out on mine.

I need to go back and � finish what we started.

I guess I get that � from you.

Um... When do you � report for duty?

Next Monday.

We head out for Afghanistan � by the end of the week.

Sorry to � put a damper on dinner.

It's all right, son. � We're proud of you.

[Lizzie] Very proud.

On the up side, I'll be sending � enough to cover my rent,

maybe help pay down � some of those repair bills.

- You don't have to do that. � - I know. But I want to.

And we just might � take you up on that.

We will not. He's just kidding. � Don't worry about it.

I'm not playing. � I'm telling you...

[all laughing]

Hey, Nate Ray? � You got a minute?

What's up, T?

I just wanted to � tell you...

I've never been � your biggest fan.

But I don't want my big brother � going to war and getting hurt.

Here.

It's all right. I'll get new � ones when I report for duty.

Besides, you're my brother.

Who else am I gonna � give them to?

Thanks.

You take care � of our family.

[Tay] Hey, Lizzie?

You think tomorrow maybe we � can walk to school together?

OK, whatever.

You knew Nate Ray was � going to re-up, didn't you?

We talked about it. � Got the feeling.

You OK with it?

Man wants to � serve his country.

Doesn't mean I'm not � scared to death.

[doorbell ringing]

Who could be stupid enough to � ring my doorbell at this hour?
