Original subtitles

(male announcer) � Previously on Lincoln Heights...

Charles, � welcome to Robeson High.

We don't get many boys � signing up for this class.

How's it going � with you and Charles?

I don't know � how he feels about me.

Well, how do you feel � about him?

I wish he'd step up.

You faded. � Only a little.

You can't drive.

You don't have � a license.

An unlicensed driver, � or a drunk driver?

You pick.

Jesse, I'm sorry � I'm late.

I am so glad � we're friends again.

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

I don't know about � all that.

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

[rap music]

�� This is my hood ��

�� Looky here, homie ��

�� It's so good ��

�� What you want from me? ��

�� Wish I would try some ��

�� You'll get shot good ��

�� So come cool, player �� ��

Starting tomorrow, � Cassie's no longer grounded.

Already?

Can't we extend it � like a year or two?

Can't keep 'em home � forever, baby.

Our kids � are growing up.

Cassie'll be � in college in two years,

Lizzie high school � next year,

then Tay, I mean, � before you know it,

our house will be empty.

I hear a baby crying.

What?

No, no. � I mean a real baby.

[baby crying]

[crying] � Oh, my God, � there's a baby in here.

It is a baby. � Oh, God!

Eddie, you gotta call � an ambulance, right now.

He's burning up.

This is Eddie Sutton. � I'm an off-duty police officer.

I need an ambulance

on the corner of Franklin � and 6th--hurry.

Abandoned newborn. � Female.

Exposure, hypothermia, � possible dehydration.

Get her into bay two.

She's still blue.

Need to get her BP � and heart rate now.

[baby crying]

[machine beeping]

BP's 60 over 23.

She's taching � from dehydration.

Auricular flutter. � Probably potassium imbalance.

Should I start her � on buterol?

Let's do a cardioversion � first.

Five joules.

Clear.

[machine stops beeping]

Okay.

Get her up to neonatal ICU.

Keep her isolated. � Get her hydrated.

Start the IV, � 12 CCs per hour,

lactated Ringer's.

I want a blood panel � for potassium

and monitor her temperature � every half-hour.

I want to see that baby � pink and peeing.

Okay, I'll take her.

And Sutton?

Good thing you found her � when you did.

�� The city never sleeps ��

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

�� So easy come and easy go ��

�� But it's home �� ��

[videogame beeping]

Tay, you gotta get off.

Why? � Because I have to work

on my history report � before class today.

Okay, I got here first.

Tay, you know the rules. � School work over games.

Okay, okay. � Let me log out.

Uh-oh.

What did you do?

I don't know. � Huh!

(Lizzie) � Mom, dad!

Oh, don't start complaining � to mom.

Tay broke the computer. � I did not.

How am I supposed � to get my report done?

Freedom!

Freedom.

Today my life � officially resumes.

It wasn't my fault.

As your first act � of generosity,

in your new � un-grounded life,

can I use your laptop?

You know I don't like people � using my computer.

(Tay) � Johnny Nightingale.

See? This is why � I need a computer.

Put it on the list.

Johnny Nightingale.

What are you babbling about?

A kid in my class.

He knows everything � about computers.

I don't want some � geek friend of yours

touching my stuff. � He's not a friend.

He fixed Ms. Acuff's � computer. For free.

I know he can fix ours.

Great, maybe we � should give him a try.

He'd better not mess up.

Come on, let's go. � Or we're gonna be late.

Bye. � Bye.

(Tay) � What's the big rush?

Okay, Dad.

Now, I know � you may be tempted

to say no, but please � just think about it.

Think about what?

Tara's dad chartered a boat � for her 18th birthday.

We're gonna sail around � the harbor, party and stuff.

Sounds like fun.

Who are you going with?

He hasn't asked me yet,

but I was hoping Charles.

No.

You didn't think about it.

Okay, let me think about it. � No.

Why not?

That's my decision.

Subject's closed.

Mom.

You heard your father.

You're ruining my life!

Baby.

Charles is a nice boy.

I don't see the harm.

Maybe you should look � a little harder.

Cassie can do better.

(Jenn) � Great, my grandmother � gave me that lamp

[phones ringing]

Sutton!

I'm on the Baby Doe case � you brought in.

I hear she's gonna � be okay.

Good, but whoever � abandoned her

is still facing a charge � of attempted murder.

I want you to check out � every baby store in the area

and see if you can find out � where that blanket came from.

Maybe that'll lead us � to the mother.

Will do.

Let me know as soon � as you find anything.

All right. � I wanna catch � the guy that did this.

We will. � No, I mean I wanna catch him.

I wanna meet the lowlife � who'd throw away a child.

Good morning, Jenn.

Is the baby I brought in � last night here?

Yeah, Baby Doe? � She's right here.

Oh, why did they take her � out of the neonatal ICU?

Well, she's full term-- � six pounds, twelve ounces,

healthy and stable.

Has she been fed?

Oh, you're supposed � to feed them?

They need lots � of human contact,

you know. � Really?

Hi.

Yes, yes.

I see you.

Hi.

Feels so good � to hold a baby again.

Just don't feel too good.

We don't know who she is � or where she's going.

I know.

You say you know.

But you're sitting there, � practically lactating

before my eyes.

[beeper goes off]

Oh, this thing...

It's Dr. Evan Cole.

I swear, that man was born � to make my life miserable.

I gotta get back to ER.

I have to go back to ER.

Okay. � All right.

Okay.

Okay.

Oh, we sell a lot of these.

It's a very popular item.

The girl who bought this � was probably white and young.

Does that � narrow it down any?

Maybe.

A couple of weeks ago � a white girl came in here,

and bought a few things.

Including this blanket?

I don't remember. � I'm sorry.

Nobody expects you to remember � every sale you make.

Is there anything else you � could tell us about this girl?

I remember thinking she was � awfully young

to be pregnant.

I saw her school ID.

Tenth grade. � She went to Robeson High.

A week later she returned most � of the purchases.

Did you give back the money? � I did.

We only do exchanges, � but she seemed so agitated.

Don't costumers usually sign � a receipt for cash back returns?

She did sign a receipt.

I can see why you're a cop.

Well, I keep the receipts � in my office.

In back.

Can I see them?

Do you have a warrant?

Do I need one?

Sistas love me.

I had to wait for a computer � for over an hour

at the library.

You got it working.

I didn't. He did.

Who are you?

Johnny Nightingale. � Who are you?

Lizzie.

You did that?

It was a bad video card. � I replaced it.

Should work fine now.

Oh, and I recovered � your history report.

I really liked what you wrote � about Isabella Baumfree.

Who?

Sojourner Truth.

You know, Ain't I a woman?

And who gave you permission � to read my report?

It's not finished.

I know-- � you're missing the part

where she tried to set up � an all-black state in the West.

Amazing woman.

Anyway, thanks � for fixing the computer.

I've got to go � to basketball practice.

Man, she is hot.

Are you nuts?

Man, she's skinny � with knock knees.

I mean, she's got a mean � jump shot and all,

but "hot"?

Does she have a boyfriend?

That's like asking, � "Does Fang,

the three-headed wolf, � have a boyfriend?"

Can you hook me up with her?

Hell, no!

You can sit up.

When did � the bleeding start?

A couple of days ago.

Well, excessive vaginal bleeding � can be caused

by uterine cancer, � polycystic ovary syndrome,

abortion-inducing drugs,

but since � your cervix is dilated,

and your breasts � are tender and leaking,

I'd say it's postpartum � hemorrhage.

Bleeding after having a baby.

I didn't have a baby.

(Dr. Mustafa) � You have an infection � caused by placental remnants.

We need to remove

the rest of the placenta, � and get you on antibiotics.

No, I--

I can't stay here.

A baby without a mother, � a mother without a baby.

It ain't rocket science.

Get her a bed in OB/GYN.

You heard what the doctor said. � You need treatment.

I'm leaving.

We have to clean you out

and get rid � of the infection.

Do you want to bleed � to death?

Would you like me to get you � a drink of water.

I just want to get � this over with,

and get out of here.

All right, well,

I need your name � and date of birth.

We can't admit you or continue � treatment without a name.

I don't want you � to tell my parents.

I don't want to.

But I still have � to have a name.

It's Opal.

Opal Woodford.

Opal, where's your baby?

I don't know.

Opal, that's � not good enough.

Babies just don't disappear.

Mine did.

[cell phone rings]

Sutton.

Hey, it's me.

I think we have the mother.

(Eddie on the phone) � Opal Woodford?

Yeah, how did you know?

I do this for a living.

Is she at the hospital?

She came in this morning.

Okay, keep her there.

Eddie, she's just a child.

She's scared to death.

She's got reason to be.

Talk to you later. � Okay.

The girl's at the hospital.

Yeah, I heard.

Elodie Woodford?

Yes.

Hi, I'm Officer Sutton.

this is Officer Lund.

May we come in, please?

What's this about?

Can we talk about it inside, � ma'am?

Did someone from your family � purchase some items

from All About Annie's � baby shop

within the past few weeks?

What kind of items?

A bib, bottles � and a blanket.

Good Lord, no.

My daughter's 15.

She's way past needing � any of those things.

[coughing]

What's going on?

Sorry to wake you, sir.

It's all right. � I had to get up anyway.

What's this � about baby stuff?

Is this your daughter? � Opal?

Let me see that.

This has got to be � a mistake.

(Eddie) � The store manager saw her ID.

She goes to Robeson, right?

(Woodford) � I don't care

what the store � manager saw.

It can't be my daughter.

Sometimes teenagers do things � parents don't know about.

Not my daughter.

Opal doesn't keep � any secrets from us.

You don't wanna tell them

that their daughter's � in the hospital?

What are you doing?

It'll be easier � to get a confession

without the father around.

I thought you didn't do trash.

I'm making an exception.

My husband and I found her � in a Dumpster.

Would you like to hold her?

I-- � I wanna go home.

Go on, take her.

(Jenn) � Just make sure � you support her head.

[touching music]

�� ��

She's... � She's beautiful.

Is this yours?

It's a hair clip

someone used to clamp � the umbilical cord.

She's not mine.

Not mine.

She's not mine.

Okay, Opal, just relax.

Okay.

Wait, wait...

I would never put my baby � in the Dumpster.

Opal, just relax.

Opal, it's okay.

(Jenn) � Where is your baby, Opal?

I don't know.

Okay, who does, � your parents?

Are you crazy?

If my dad found out I was even � pregnant, he'd kill me.

How did you hide it � from them?

I--

I didn't show a whole lot.

I wore baggy clothes,

sweats, stuff like that.

I'm gonna ask you � one more time.

Where is your baby?

And don't tell me � you don't know.

I don't!

When the pains came, � I called a cab.

But the baby came too fast.

I--the driver,

she helped me deliver it,

and then she dropped me off � at the hospital

and took off with the baby.

So why didn't you call � the police?

I told you!

My dad would kill me.

Thanks for walking me.

You're welcome. � See you tomorrow?

Listen.

That night of the party, � when we drove home,

I said some things � to you in the car.

Look, you were loaded. � It was a weird night.

I don't even remember � what you said.

I said I liked you.

Actually, you said � you liked me a lot.

So, I was thinking,

would you like to do the boat � ride with me next Friday?

What's up?

Johnny Nightingale.

Don't tell me. � Cassie, right?

The older sister.

I can see

hot runs in the family.

You a player, bro.

We should get together � sometime.

Compare notes.

Taylor, what's up, � my brother?

Johnny. � Back already?

Finished my homework.

Thought I'd come over � and chill.

Can I come in?

Man, I'd like to, but it's � kind of a bad time.

'Cause I gotta � practice my clarinet--

Tay!

Don't be rude � to your friend.

Invite him in.

All right. � Come on in.

I don't think my dad � wants me to see you.

Why not?

I don't know. � He didn't give me a reason.

I'll meet you at the pier � anyway.

What time?

Cassie, I'm not � gonna sneak around.

Why doesn't he like me? � Did he say anything?

He just said no.

Well, I'll talk to him.

I don't think that's � a good idea.

Maybe not, � but I'll do it anyway.

Tay break � the computer again?

Oh, no, I just � came back to hang.

How was practice? � Good.

Do you wanna hang with us?

Can't. � I've got homework.

Hey, have you checked out � Hoops-at-Powell.com?

It's a cool blog that talks � about your team.

I know. I've seen it.

Have you seen today's?

Not yet, why?

(Johnny) � "Lizzie Sutton,

"star forward for � the Powell Middle School.

"Has a killer jump shot.

Sutton is the most promising � player I've seen in years."

It's pretty sweet, huh? � Yeah.

Whoever wrote that, � you should pay 'em.

That's your blog?

I don't use my name

'cause I don't wanna � be mobbed by autograph hounds.

I wouldn't worry about it.

Can I sit with you � at lunch some time?

Okay.

How many times � do I have to tell you?

She's not my baby.

The DNA test will prove � that she is.

I don't care � what the DNA says.

She's not mine.

If you're afraid � of your father,

they can protect you.

You just have � to tell us the truth.

I am. � I gave birth in the cab.

And the cab driver � stole my baby.

Opal, listen. � You're in trouble.

And maybe there's a reason � that you did what you did,

but if there is, � you need to tell us.

Cause frankly, I see someone � do something like this,

and I wanna lock them up � for a long time.

Now, talk to us.

She's not my baby.

She's lying.

She is and she isn't.

You don't believe the � "cab driver ate my baby" story.

Of course not.

She fits the profile � perfectly.

In her teens, unmarried, � living with her parents.

Emotionally unstable.

Statistics mean nothing.

I know teenage girls.

I saw Opal hold her child.

There is no way � she could have thrown

that baby away. � You're too involved.

You gotta find out who else � could've done it.

If you arrest her,

the department � will close the case,

she'll go to prison, � and you'll never know the truth.

But that's not your call.

I'll have her doctor say

she's in no condition � to be released.

See?

Now you're interfering � in police business.

You're interfering � with my patient.

You can't have her.

You know, that woman

can be as stubborn � as a mule.

Look.

I'm not saying we should � let that girl off the hook,

but maybe we should � keep looking.

Find out if anyone else � is involved.

Since when are you � so forgiving?

I'm not. � What if it was Cassie?

It wouldn't be Cassie.

Understand? � Okay.

It's a whole different set � of circumstances.

I'm sure when Cassie � starts having sex,

she'll be a whole lot � more responsible.

Do me a favor, Lund.

Don't reassure me.

(Woodford) � Opal called us last night.

She slept � at her girlfriend's house.

They're working � on a science project. � She lied.

She's in Memorial Hospital. � You're the liar.

Hal.

Don't "Hal" me.

There's no way our Opal � gave birth to a baby.

We'd know.

They mixed her up � with someone else.

It's mistaken identity.

No mistake. � Come to the hospital.

See your daughter.

And your granddaughter.

We have to go-- � It isn't true.

Right now.

Hal.

Can I hold her?

Why?

She's not your baby.

Please.

She's so precious.

What happened, Opal?

My mother was at work.

My dad was sleeping � in the other room.

When I felt the water break, � I went to the bathroom,

and knelt down in the tub.

Then, there was pain,

and there it was.

I wrapped it in a towel.

All I could think of � was making it disappear.

You were so scared � of your own father

that you'd kill � your own baby?

I'd never kill my baby.

I didn't think � of it as a baby.

It was just a--

A thing that came out of me.

But now...

but now...

Can I hold her?

Just one last time.

There, there.

Baby, baby.

Baby.

What did you get � for number six?

Cosine equals adjacent � over hypotenuse.

Is that what you got?

I have no idea � what you're saying.

Hey, girls. � What's up?

Hi.

How's the video card? � Totally fine.

Thanks to you � I got an A on my paper.

What can I say? � I got skills.

We need to talk.

Excuse us.

We'll be back in a minute.

Who are you?

Johnny Nightingale.

Ah, the kid who fixed � the computer.

Yes, sir.

Good job. � Thank you, sir.

Uh, Mr. Sutton.

May I have your permission � to court Lizzie?

Do what to Lizzie?

Court her.

You know, if you can tell me � her curfew.

What movies � she's allowed to see.

How late she � can get phone calls.

I don't want to break � any rules.

Who are you?

I told you. � Johnny Nightingale.

Stick to computers, son.

He's overweight.

He's not that big.

And unattractive.

I think he's cute.

He's a geek.

Shh. � He'll hear you.

You think he doesn't know?

He writes the basketball blog.

You can't be seen with him.

That's stupid.

If people see you together,

they're gonna think you're � boyfriend and girlfriend.

And no boy � will ask you out.

But hey, � do what you want.

Sorry to make you wait.

Oh, that's okay.

I had a nice talk � with your dad.

Anyway, I have something � to do now.

So-- � Okay.

See you at lunch tomorrow?

Maybe that's not � such a good idea.

I should probably have lunch

with my teammates, � you know?

Oh, gotcha. Okay.

I'll see you later.

Busted sprinkler?

Needs a new head.

Seems like everything � is falling apart at once.

Mr. Sutton, � with all due respect,

why don't you want Cassie � to go out with me?

Because you're not � right for her.

Why? � What's wrong with me?

You got drunk at a party,

and let Cassie drive home � without a license.

Okay, I was wrong � to let her drive that night.

The only reason � why I got drunk,

was because I thought � she liked that undercover cop.

I stuck up for you � with Internal Affairs

in that market thing. � And I thank you for that.

So what's the real reason?

Why don't you admit � why you don't

want Cassie to date me?

Don't go there, Charles.

There's not a whole lot � I can do about being white.

I think it's time � for you to leave.

[sighs]

(Woodford) � How could you not tell us?

You carry that thing � inside you for nine months.

You give birth in the bathroom � like an animal?

I'm not an animal.

You're right. Animals � don't throw away their young.

You're less than an animal.

That's enough.

This doesn't concern you. � Your daughter

is a patient at my hospital, � her welfare concerns me.

We should go see � our grandchild.

I don't have a grandchild, � or a daughter.

Daddy, please don't say that.

You shame me.

Hal.

She's still our daughter! � My God!

The DA is gonna charge her � with attempted murder, Eddie.

She could be locked up � for years.

You saw how her father � terrorized her.

She's just too afraid to tell � us what happened to her baby.

Fear drives people to do things � they wouldn't normally do.

You've already made up your � mind--she's guilty.

That's for the judge � to decide.

How can you be so aloof?

I wouldn't be able to survive � in my job if I wasn't.

See, I warned you � not to get involved.

If it were Cassie, � we would be there for her.

It would never happen � to Cassie.

I thought it would never � happen to me either.

But I was only 19 � when I got pregnant.

Our situation was different. � You had me.

That's my point. � See, Opal has no one.

Except a brutal father, � and a weak-willed mother.

And you.

I saw how she looked � at her baby.

There's no way � she could've thrown

her little girl away.

Eddie,

you've got to help her.

Good morning, Cassie.

Good morning.

Hey, you're not gonna carry � that attitude around

all week, are you?

No.

Do you know a girl at school � named Opal Woodford?

I know of her. � She's a slut.

Does she have a boyfriend?

Some guy named T.J.

I think he's a junior.

Why?

She just got � into a little trouble.

You know, Charles came by � here yesterday.

Why didn't you tell me?

He didn't come � to talk to you.

He came to talk to me.

He tried to call me � a racist.

Are you?

I'm not.

If Charles were black, � could Cassie date him?

If he were black, � I'd be even stricter.

Hold him � to a higher standard.

That's not racism.

No, that's just believing

nobody's good enough � for your daughter.

Well, so far, I haven't met � one boy that was.

Baby, what do you see?

Our wedding photo.

Two happy newlyweds.

Minus our families.

Because we eloped.

Let's tune that � selective memory

of yours back a bit.

We eloped because my daddy

didn't think you were good � enough for me.

Then we dated behind his back, � and when I got pregnant,

and you married me, � he was forced to accept you.

Accept, not like.

True, to my everlasting sorrow.

Things could have � worked out better,

if he had given me � a chance to prove myself.

He was too pig-headed. � Exactly.

Exactly.

Okay, I'll invite him over.

See who he is.

Get a feel for him.

We'll just see � how it goes.

Opal broke up with me � six months ago.

I still see her � around school,

but we don't talk much.

How well did you know � each other?

Pretty well.

You have sex with her?

Am I gonna get in trouble � if I say yes?

Not with us.

She said she didn't want � to be a virgin anymore,

but I don't think she was.

You use condoms?

Yeah. � Both times.

Why did you break up?

She said her dad � was getting suspicious,

but I think the real � reason was Mr. Logan.

Mr. Logan?

Opal's guidance counselor.

He was always bad-mouthing me � and trying to break us up.

Why?

They were pretty tight.

She spent a lot of time � in his office.

Ask me?

I think the dude was jealous.

[students chattering]

(Logan) � Jealousy had nothing to do � with it.

It's my job � to advise students

and steer them away � from bad choices.

Opal was only seeing T.J. � to spite her father.

She tell you that?

She confides in me, yes.

Sounds like you had

a special relationship � with her.

Yeah, I like to think

I have a special relationship � with all my students.

I'm sure you do.

Opal's father is restrictive � and overbearing.

I mean, � she's so terrified of him,

she never even brought � a friend home.

Being with T.J. is � an act of rebellion.

Like getting pregnant?

Seems she didn't confide � everything to you.

What is it you want from me?

Blood.

For a DNA test.

You think I got her pregnant.

Easy enough to disprove.

No. I don't consent to it.

Why not?

If you're innocent.

Because it admits � the possibility

that I could be guilty.

Couldn't you?

Absolutely not.

(Lund) � I think you're lying, � Mr. Logan.

I think you've been dipping � your pen in school ink.

And we're gonna � put you away for it.

[electronic music � in headphones]

�� ��

You may not wanna � hear this,

but what you did was wrong.

What?

Playing Johnny like that.

That was a punk move.

So he's fat, that ain't � no reason to treat him mean.

And this is � your business because...

He's my friend.

Since when?

Since I got to know him.

One thing I always � dug about you?

You did your own thing,

and didn't care what other � people thought.

So why should I care � what you think?

Because you know I'm right.

[knocking at the door]

How do you tell a guy you're � sorry you blew him off?

I give up. How?

It's not a joke.

How do you tell a guy you're � sorry you blew him off?

The first thing � you have to know about boys

is they don't take hints.

The direct approach � is best.

I can do that.

Oh, and keep it simple.

Don't give too many details.

Because they have � a really short attention span.

Okay. � Keep it simple.

Oh, wait. � Anything else?

Oh, if you can say it � in terms

of cars or sports � they'll get it.

Okay, cars or sports.

Thanks.

[laughs]

[door opens]

(Jenn) � Eddie.

I'm home.

$3,000 to replace galvanized � pipes with copper.

Oh, well.

Gotta do it.

Kids are in their rooms. � Cassie's mad at me.

What else is new?

Went to her school today.

Met with a guidance counselor � named Mr. Logan.

I think we found � the baby's father.

No. You didn't.

What?

We have a warrant � for your arrest.

I didn't do anything!

You're under arrest

for rape, incest, � and sexual assault on a minor.

She's a lying little tramp.

I should shoot you � right now,

and put you out � of your misery.

It's her word against mine.

Not when you have � DNA evidence.

DNA?

I didn't give you any DNA.

You did when you spit � in her face.

Stop it! � He didn't do anything!

Ma'am, go back inside.

You have the right � to shut up.

If you don't shut up,

we'll use what you say � against you.

You have the right � to hire a shyster

to try to get you off,

but if no lawyer � will take your case,

'cause you're such a miserable � excuse for a human being,

the court will provide

some low-paid, overworked � public defender.

Get in the damn car.

(Eddie) � It probably went on for years.

She must have known what he was � doing to their daughter.

Yeah, well, � then she's guilty too.

Yeah, what I'm wondering...

is how guilty?

(Eddie) � There he is.

Come here.

Wait!

Lemme go! � Lemme go!

Take it easy.

We just wanna talk to you.

I didn't did nothing.

If you didn't did nothing, � why did you run?

I don't know.

Guy's sharp as a marble.

Now look, a few days ago, � you pulled a trash bag

out of a dumpster.

I pull a lot of trash bags � out of Dumpsters.

Yeah, well this one � had a baby in it.

No, I didn't see any babies.

(Lund) � I think you have.

See, I think you stole � that baby to sell it,

and then you got scared, � and threw it away.

It wasn't me! � It was that lady.

What lady?

The lady that put � the baby in the Dumpster.

I saw her do it.

Now, if we show you � some pictures,

will you be able � to identify her?

All right. � Come on.

Can I talk to you?

It's a free country.

Look, I'm really sorry � if I hurt your feelings

when I said I didn't � wanna have lunch with you.

You didn't hurt � my feelings.

It's not that � I don't want to.

It's just that...

you know--

You don't have to explain.

You don't dig me. � It's cool.

That's the thing. � I do dig you.

I mean, I don't care � how you look.

Yeah, thanks a lot.

I'm not saying this right.

Okay, sports.

I fouled you, and you get � two free throws.

Huh?

(Jessie) � Hi, Johnny.

Hey, baby.

Did you have breakfast?

I did, but I � could use a refill.

I told you he was cool.

The bleeding's under control. � They're releasing her.

Good.

No, not good.

They're taking her � to juvenile hall.

Can't you do something?

Hasn't she been � through enough?

Yes, she has.

What are you doing?

You're under arrest � for child endangerment

and attempted murder.

That's insane.

(Lund) � All this time you knew

what your husband � was doing,

and you protected him.

Even to the point � of getting rid of the baby.

It wasn't a baby.

It was an abomination!

No. It was a baby.

My baby.

You're the abomination!

Shut up!

She took her from me!

Shut up!

She said she would find � her a good home.

She said if I said anything, � she would smother her!

I should have smothered you � the day you were born!

I wonder what her life � will be like.

She'll go to � a nice family.

She'll have a good life.

And when she asks � who her parents were?

Let's pray she doesn't � get the answer.

Bye, Baby Doe.

[baby cries]

Okay.

I never even � gave her a name.

Keep it.

Save it.

(Eddie) � You okay?

That's my daughter, � Marika.

She's about Opal's age now.

Her mother and I split � when she was six.

She got custody,

went up north � right after the divorce.

Good riddance,

but she took � Marika with her.

And you haven't seen � your daughter since?

I was a lousy father.

She's better off without me.

And you're just now � telling me this.

Never came up before.

[knocking on door]

Your mom needs help � with dinner.

Okay.

You, um....

really like this Charles guy, � don't you?

Yes, I do.

He's just a nice guy, � Dad.

You know, when Charles � came to me the other day,

he talked to me � straight up.

Like a man.

Told me I was wrong.

I wasn't, � but I respect that.

Your mother doesn't � know this,

but I once approached your � Grandpa Bradshaw that way.

What did he do?

Kicked me off his property.

Told me not to come � around again.

I love Grandpa, � but he's a tough man.

Yeah, and so am I.

If you go out...

I want you to come home

as soon as that boat � hits the dock.

You mean I can go?

Only if Charles � comes here first.

Why don't you � invite him over?

Wow.

Is that an apology?

No.

It's an acknowledgement.

Acknowledgement accepted.

�� And someday soon ��

�� You're gonna find ��

�� That love's gonna take you ��

�� By surprise �� ��

It's beautiful out here.

I know.

That's why I come here.

Not what I had in mind � for our first date,

but not bad either.

Thanks for asking me.

It was my dad's idea.

Hard to believe.

Hey, babe-- � uh-uh-uh.

These are � for your daughter's guest.

It's my house.

If I want a brownie, � I'll eat one.

Oh, my God. � You are so pathetic.

Here.

Jeez, you're so silly.

Hey, I wanna thank you.

They're just brownies.

For getting me involved � in the case.

Sorry I came down on you.

What'll happen to Opal?

The DA's not pressing charges.

She'll live in foster care � until she turns 18.

Hopefully with plenty � of therapy.

After the years of abuse � from her father,

she'll need it.

He's going upstate.

He'll be living � among a population

that loves child molesters.

Sometimes to death.

That's no more � than he deserves.

You know...

if you want another baby,

we can start working on it, � right now.

I don't want another child.

I've already got four.

Hey.

Speaking of making babies,

I haven't heard � a sound from upstairs.

Oh... � [tutting]

You know what?

Why don't I deliver these?

Mmm, mmm, mmm.

You must really like me � to put up with him.

He's not so bad.

But I do like you.

You look amazing � in the moonlight.

Oh, God, that was corny.

No, it wasn't.

Brownies, anyone?

Now this is what I call � a beautiful night.
