Lincoln Heights (2006) s01e03 Episode Script

Previsously on Lincoln Heights Now, where is this fine mansion of ours? You've lost your mind.
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 out of here.
I'd be okay staying a little longer.
- Yeah, 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.]

Feels okay.

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.
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? Mmmprobably.
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.
Umwhy? 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 li.
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.
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.
Soyou 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.
SoI 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%.
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.
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.
OohI 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.
AhI 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.
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? Doyou 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 d 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.]
[cell phone ringing.]
