Original subtitles

[Lizzie] Previously on LINCOLN HEIGHTS:

I think a fresh start sounds pretty good right about now.

- [horn honks] - I feel terrible that Sage was in that car,

but I'm so grateful that it wasn't you.

And I feel like crap for thinking that.

What if she stays in a coma?

A medically induced coma, Kevin. No meds, no coma.

What is the harm in keeping her on medications a few more weeks?

Kevin, she's never even moved a finger.

Charles, I love you, and I don't want us to wait anymore.

I want my first experience to be with you.

- [glass breaks] - Charles, what's that?

Cassie! Come out, come out wherever you are.

Cassie!

[Cassie] Oh, my God.

You don't think they'll find us here, do you?

[Charles] You lived here for how long and you never knew this existed?

You went crazy on those idiots today at the wall

and that's when you were sober. You need to take that time off.

You're starting to get on my nerves.

Lund just told me he's taking some time off.

So, Eddie, say hello to your new partner.

- What?! - I know, I know. Work it out.

[door slams]

[door opens, creaking]

[classical music plays]

Who's there?

What the hell?

Hello?

Charles! You scared me. I'm here all by myself.

I know, it's late.

I wanted to make sure you're OK.

I was hoping you'd come visit me.

School's creepy at night.

It's creepy during the day, too.

[chuckles]

What do you think about Juliet's bedroom?

I think Romeo's gonna dig it.

So, what's in this basket you dropped on my head?

- I did? - Mm-hmm.

I'm sorry. [chuckles]

OK, we got pizza,

caprese,

limonada... That means lemonade.

- Oh, damn. - What's wrong?

The petals fell off.

Ohh.

Let me see.

What are you doing?

- [chuckles] - Where are you going?

♪ Ooh ♪

♪ It's you I want it's you I need ♪

♪ It's you I really want to see ♪

Hey, Romeo.

It's one of the costumes, but I was thinking

I wouldn't have it on for too long.

I feel closer to you than I've ever felt.

Well, we could get caught.

By who? Everyone's gone.

I really want this.

- ♪ My love ♪ - ♪ Oooh ♪

♪ I save all my love for you ♪

- ♪ You're what I'm dreaming of ♪ - ♪ I'm dreaming of ♪

Wait. [chuckles]

♪ I save all my love for you ♪

You brought protection, right?

Yeah. But we don't have to do this, you know?

♪ Ohh ♪

♪ The days I spent away from you ♪

- ♪ You're always on my mind ♪ - ♪ My mind ♪

- ♪ Has got me feelin' fine ♪ - ♪ Feel so fine ♪

♪ Home ♪♪

Good morning, everyone.

Did anyone hear the birds singing?

No, but I heard the garbage truck backing up.

- Dig in while it's hot. - Mmm.

Dang, Cassie. You got a tapeworm?

- Are you OK? - Mmm-hmm.

Nice outfit. Taking the day off?

I got an undercover assignment.

- Cool, what for? - I can't tell you.

Kids, open up your hands, I got something for you.

[Lizzie] You changed the locks?

I added a door, for security.

That makes two new doors plus an alarm system.

Look, I know it's an inconvenience, but it's for your safety.

Now, put those keys in a place where you won't lose them.

Tay.

Are you sure you want to be drumming right now?

- Yeah. - [car approaches]

no.

- [car horn honks] - Ooh, it's Charles.

Someone woke up on the weird side of the bed.

- She does seem different. - Gotta go.

OK, guys, bye. Have a good one.

- Bye, mom. - Bye.

Don't lose those keys, you hear me?

Babe, are you working with Lund today?

No, he's still on a desk. The Sage thing really shook him up.

Going out with Powell.

Maybe you can ask him if his wife wants to join the mothers' group.

Can't you ask her? Powell and I aren't that close.

- You know, they lost a child. - All right, all right.

OK, and don't be late tonight because we're having company for dinner.

- The kingstons. - The who-stons?

Reverend John Kingston and his family.

The new minister of our church,

and his wife wants to help with the clinic.

Can't the two of you just go to dinner?

Mrs. Hammond said they want to start meeting people

who, as she put it, are the pillars of our community.

You ready for some good news?

Sure.

Sage is regaining consciousness.

What makes you think that?

When I was at the hospital last night, I saw her move her hand.

I saw the same thing when I was there.

[sighs] It's involuntary. It's a twitch.

Kevin, she's been off the coma meds for three days.

That doesn't mean she's not gonna come around eventually.

Look...

...I'm willing to give it three more days,

and then the hospital has my permission

to take Sage off of her respirator.

No way. Absolutely not.

I have been through this before with my sister.

For six months we sat vigil and watched her waste away.

We're talking about our daughter, OK?

- I know what we're up against. - No.

And it will take a miracle for her to come out of this.

No one's shutting off that respirator. I won't allow it.

You don't have a choice, remember?

I'm the one with custody.

[man] Officers, this is a federal operation.

Colin Barnes suffered a psychotic break two years ago.

Killed four people in Fresno.

Until yesterday, he was in the mental ward of Lompoc prison.

Now he's at large, unmedicated and killing again.

Just what Lincoln Heights needs, some maniac running loose.

Native American male, 39 years old.

Five-eleven, 180 pounds.

Brown hair, brown eyes.

Six-inch scar across his neck.

What's he doing in Lincoln Heights?

He has a girlfriend who lives here.

You will be staking out her house in shifts.

You will discuss this case with no one, not even your priest.

Marshal Jackson, all due respect,

we get better results when we alert the community.

If Barnes finds out we're onto him, he'll flee.

Gentlemen, do as you're told.

Remember, you're under federal authority.

You'll do this our way.

[school bell rings]

Lizzie, this is Moira sussman,

a recruiter from the archfield school.

It's a private school in mission vista south.

I have no doubt you'll be an asset to archfield

both on the court and, uh, in the classroom.

Wait, you want me to switch schools? But I like it here.

I'm gonna be in high school with my sister next year.

Lizzie, they want to offer you a full scholarship.

- Whoa. - "whoa" is right.

Our teachers are first-rate, our facilities unsurpassed.

Ten percent of last year's graduating class

was admitted to Ivy League colleges.

Here's my card, a brochure, an application.

Talk it over with your parents.

We could even arrange a visit if you'd like.

But don't take your time.

I have a waiting list of a hundred kids

that would take your spot in a heartbeat.

[jet engines whirring]

I don't like this, sitting here, doing nothing.

It's called a stakeout.

We should be trying to figure this guy out.

The more we know about him, the better chance we have of finding him

instead of hoping he shows up.

Relax, man. It's easy duty.

Hey, easy for you to say, living out there in the 'burbs.

I got my wife and kids here.

Every day this lunatic is out there, my family is at risk.

- Why don't you warn them? - It's against orders.

See, you got no one to blame but yourself.

You're the one that decided to live here.

[opens soda can]

We can't wait. I need power.

- We're trying, Jenn. - [defibrillator whirring]

- [Jenn] Hit it again. - Here it goes.

- It's not working. - What is the matter with this thing?

One, two, three, four, five.

Come on. Come on.

- Good, good. - Great.

You're gonna be all right. You're gonna be all right.

Adult male, 54. Came in with chest pain and collapsed.

OK, everybody, back up, please.

[telephone rings in distance]

- Good work, Jenn. - He could have died.

- He'll be OK. - We need decent equipment,

a crash cart, something that's not a hundred years old.

[girl] Oh, my God, is this for real?

[girl 2] Are they doing what I think they're doing?

- What's everyone looking at? - I don't know.

[boy] I don't know. I can't tell who it is.

- [girl] Eww. - [boy 2] Come here, look.

Is that...?

Yeah.

If anyone is wondering

who the stud in this video is, he's right here.

It's me, people.

I, Glen hockert, am a man-whore.

[laughter]

Everyone knows you're a virgin, dude.

You filmed your parents.

It's not my parents. They don't even do it anymore.

- Then who is it? - It's me.

- [boy] Yo, is that your sister? - [laughter]

- How did this happen? - Glen's a techie.

He tapes all the rehearsals for the school plays.

He must've left his camera running.

What if people think it's us?

Hate to break it to you, Cassie, but it is us.

But no one needs to know that.

There are other couples it could be, Charles.

I wish we never did it in school.

Cassie, seriously, no one's gonna find out.

- I'm gonna take care of this. - How?

Oh, crap! I'm sorry.

Sorry, dude.

Idiot! It better not be broken.

Keypad's loose, screen's a little wobbly,

but, don't worry, I can fix this.

I'll have it back to you by English.

But that's my...

[girl] Would you Leave me alone?!

Come on, one date.

Hey, chicks kill for a piece of this action.

- Eww. - Damn, bro. You got served.

What, you think you're too good for me?

It's not like you're beyoncé.

- Back off, Jed. - Who are you, her girlfriend?

Maybe you two should make a sex video together.

They say the bigger the ego, the smaller the you know what.

[chuckling]

- I'm Stacy. - Stacy Kingston?

- Yeah. - Cassie.

You're coming over to my house tonight.

Cassie. Well, nice to meet you.

Come on. I'll show you around school.

[woman] Here we are. Lincoln Heights free clinic.

Look at these poor souls.

Tilda Clemens?

Miss, would you like your photo taken?

Just look over there, and we smile.

Uh, what is going on?

Ma'am, there are no cameras in the waiting room.

We have some very sick people here.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

Joe, can you take Ms. Clemens to room five.

I'm sorry for the intrusion.

My name is Anita Kingston. My husband's the new reverend...

Anita. I'm Jenn, Jennifer Sutton.

Oh, Jennifer! Divine intervention!

I thought I might see you here.

The daily gazette is doing a piece about my plans

for improving the clinic and rescuing the renovation.

Great! We can't wait for you to be involved.

Just this morning, we nearly lost a patient

because we had a defibrillator go haywire...

Manny, get a shot of us chatting. You don't mind, do you?

Well, like I was saying, um, our equipment...

Oh, I'm so sorry, I've gotta go.

- I'm on a schedule, you know. - Yeah.

- Um, can we talk tonight? - Yeah. SEE YOU AT 7:00.

Good. Excellent, thank you.

And Jennifer, John doesn't eat red meat.

Thank you.

Oh, I bet she does. [chuckles]

Wright's hunger refers to the physical hunger of poverty

as well as his hunger for what else?

- Lizzie? - Um...

Mr. Cook, Lizzie just found out she's being recruited

by a private school, on full scholarship.

Well, that's worth an interruption.

That's fantastic, Lizzie. Which school?

The archfield school. But I'm not going.

I can get just as good an education here in Lincoln Heights.

Give me a break. That is so lame.

What do you know, Devin? You're new. You've been here, like, a day.

People will care more about the d-minus student from archfield

than about the a-plus kid from Powell.

That attitude is exactly why I'm not going.

They're snobby, and so are you.

Well, then again, a fine shorty like you

will attract attention no matter where she graduates from.

All right, that's enough, Devin.

- Knowledge, Mr. Cook. - I'm sorry?

The author's hunger is not just the hunger of poverty

but a hunger for knowledge.

Although he didn't have a formal education,

Richard Wright grew up to be one of the most influential authors

of the 20th century. And he never went to private school.

And that's how you get a scholarship.

Here's something about the Fresno murders.

Anything in there about the 49ers?

"Colin Barnes' psychotic break was precipitated

by the tragic death of his nine-year-old son, Michael."

after this shift, you want to do some digging?

Yeah, maybe.

Brian DeMarco, Kate Bronson, Isabel Lopez and Randall wilbert.

- Those are his victims. - You think they're random or related?

Don't know yet, but we'll find out.

Of all the places, he chooses Lincoln Heights.

Like I don't have enough to worry about.

Come on, I got something for you.

You applied for custody behind my back. How dare you!

Whatever it takes to have a say in my daughter's treatment.

I want you out of the apartment by the time I get home.

You bastard. Where am I supposed to stay?

- Some fleabag hotel? - Keep it down, please.

Fine. [sighs]

oh, and P.S., the sex has gone way downhill.

Sutton. Follow me.

- Pump-action shotgun. - What's this for?

Protection for your family.

[school bell rings]

Mission accomplished.

I wiped out his entire hard drive.

He won't even be able to play a game of solitaire.

Thank God.

Hey, genius, you wiped out my whole gaming hard drive, you stupid jerk.

I'm sorry, man.

Damn. I guess that video won't see the light of day again.

[scoffs] Hardly. I posted it on, like, 15 websites this morning.

See?

Well, at least we look good naked.

This is serious, Charles. It's spreading.

Don't stress, babe. There's thousands of videos out there.

Who's gonna find it?

[chuckling]

[groans]

Hey, honey, you better get cleaned up.

The kingstons will be here any minute.

Hold up. What you got there?

- I'll show you later. - Eddie, if that's what I think it is...

Before you fly off the handle, Powell gave it to me.

Eddie, I do not believe you actually brought a shotgun into our home.

[Jenn] Of all the bonehead things you've done.

My biography in six words.

[Tay] What you watching?

Tay! Where'd you come from?

The secret attic. I turned it into my music studio. Check it out.

No way. I'm not going back there.

It's easier to shoot than a handgun.

If anything happens I'm not around,

you and the kids can defend yourselves.

Would you give me some privacy?

You can't be coming in and out like this.

[Tay] How am I supposed to get to my studio?

Why don't you practice music in your own room?

Because I don't want dad to hear me. duh.

Well, that's not my problem.

No. Back there in your own room, Tay.

- Get out! - Guys, shut up!

Go! Get out!

I don't even feel safe just looking at that thing.

Is anyone not fighting in this house?

Maybe I should get dad to put a lock on my door.

Go ahead. I know how to pick locks.

Jenn, it's a temporary solution.

It's a dangerous solution, Eddie.

Company's here!

Please, come in.

Well, with my husband as church head,

you will not have to rely on a shotgun

to feel safe in your own home.

Why? You know something I don't?

My task is to reach out and raise this community up.

- Build it up. - Take it to new Heights, amen.

We got to strive for that one thing God has in mind for us.

And for me, that's peace.

Echoes of reverend Hammond. Here, here.

[Jenn] I'll drink to that.

So, Cassie, Stacy tells me you girls are in the same class.

- Mm-hmm. - Maybe you can help her find a nice young man.

Dad, stop.

Leave her alone, John.

Lizzie and I have English together.

- Is that right? - Yep. That's right.

Anita, you still haven't told me your plans for the clinic.

We're barely staying afloat right now.

I have so many plans. That's enough with the butter, John.

Watches me like a hawk.

Eddie, how do you stay so trim?

By necessity.

It's hard to chase down criminals if I'm huffing and puffing.

Tay.

Cut that out.

What type of music you listen to?

Classical stuff. Stravinsky.

[Jenn] Tay is in the orchestra.

The spring concert's coming up. We should all go.

Can I show Devin my clarinet?

If you two boys are done eating.

I didn't know Tay was such a musical genius.

Too bad Lizzie's the one being recruited to archfield.

Heard they have an excellent music program.

The archfield school?

I didn't mention it because I'm not going.

Hold on, that sounds like something you should consider.

It's in a good neighborhood, right?

Believe me, I went to one of those wealthy private schools.

They come with their own set of problems.

Lizzie, this is a great opportunity

and you should not pass it by.

Show me what you got.

[hip-hop beat playing]

- That's junk. - I'm still working on it, man.

No, man. Junk's a good thing.

Watch out.

[playing keyboard]

- Man, you're good. - I know.

Dude, guess what I got kicked out of my last school for?

- Why? - I busted a rhyme over the loudspeaker.

The lyrics were raunchy.

Where there's wealth, there's more drugs.

And promiscuity is rampant in those schools.

In public schools, too. I heard there's a sex video going around in the high school.

That's just a rumor.

Lizzie, Mrs. Hammond tells me you have potential

to make a great contribution to society one day.

- I guess. - The best way you can help others

is to help yourself first.

Remember, before you pull someone out of the water,

you better make sure you're standing on solid ground.

Well, whatever ground she stands on, I'm sure she'll have her footing.

She's a phony. Not a peep about the clinic,

and I disagree with her on the whole private school issue.

- It made sense to me. - I thought you didn't even want to go.

Now I'm not sure. Like Mrs. Kingston said,

I can't help others if I don't help myself first.

Lizzie, you know I want the best for you.

Then why are you fighting this private school thing?

I mean, you went to one.

Come, sit down for me.

You know, when I was your age,

there was this new girl at school,

who came from just as much privilege as everybody else,

but she got picked on because she didn't dress like everybody else.

She begged her parents to buy her all this new stuff

so she could look like everyone else.

Next time she went to school, she fit right in.

But she always regretted

not having the courage to be herself.

That's about you, isn't it, mom?

- Yeah, it is. - [chuckles]

I don't want to see that happen to you.

Thanks, mom.

Come on, people.

"what about chassie? You know they've done it."

hey, Cassie.

Who's chassie?

If you don't let me use the attic,

I'm gonna translate this blog to dad, chassie.

If you say a word to anyone about anything,

I'm gonna tell dad you quit orchestra.

Who told you?

You did, just now.

I hate the clarinet.

I just want to do hip-hop, You know? I want to write my own music.

I just don't want to disappoint dad.

[police dispatch, indistinct]

How'd the shotgun go over?

- I was almost Jenn's first target. - [chuckles]

all available units, respond to a 245 at 4811 maple. over.

Six-zebra-two responding. Thanks, partner. Over.

[siren blaring]

There's nothing here.

- [siren whooping] - Dispatch screwed up. It's 5811 maple.

Thanks.

[Eddie] That's near Lizzie's school.

Principal metford, what happened?

[sighs] I left school to run some errands,

and some guy, I think he was following me.

He just hit me for no reason.

I scratched his face with my keys.

He ran off bleeding before you got here.

An ambulance is on its way. Do you remember what he looks like?

Large build, dark hair...

Ooh, a nasty scar on his neck, straight across.

[both] Barnes.

Hey.

How come your boy toy is sitting alone?

He, uh, wanted to study.

OK.

So what about you? Do you have a boyfriend?

Well, there is someone special

but my parents don't let me date.

Cassie, what's up? I saved you a seat.

This is not my pudding. Weird.

I'm sorry, Charles.

There's a blog online all about that video.

- You're not sitting with me because of a blog? - Shh!

Six couples were named, and we're one of them.

- That's the dumbest thing ever. - This situation embarrasses me.

Who cares what they think?

If you're having sex, you get respect.

But if it's me, I'm Cassie Slutton.

This will all blow over In a day. It's really not that big a deal.

Not that big of a deal?

- [scoffs] - Cassie, wait. OK...

Just... Just give me some space, please!

It was 5811, not 4811.

You gave us the wrong damn address.

Gimme a break, dispatch isn't even my job.

Barnes was a block away from my kids' school. He injured their principal.

I made a mistake. Would you back off, please?

If we got there a minute sooner, we would've had him.

He got away because you screwed up.

OK, great.

What's in the can?

What's in the can, Lund?

Look, I just found out my appeal for custody is being denied.

Sage is getting pulled off her respirator,

and there's not a thing I can do about it.

So if you don't mind, Colin Barnes is not the first thing on my mind.

My family's safety is the first thing on my mind.

You can't afford to make mistakes.

You gotta get it together.

If you don't tell lindo what's going on with you, I will.

- [Tay] He looks scary. - He's supposed to look scary. he's a killer.

Psycho killer.

He got a cut on his face yesterday.

I thought this was an undercover assignment.

I know, dad. Why are you telling us?

Because I'm a father before I'm a cop, and I want to protect you.

But you have to protect me.

And you can't share this with anyone. Do I have your word?

- Yeah. - Yes, dad.

- Tay? - Yeah.

Thank you.

And he has a six-inch scar on his neck.

- But you can't tell anybody. - I won't.

Don't worry, Lizzie. I'll be your bodyguard.

But you can't protect me if I switch schools.

I mean, I doubt I'll get in

because I can't even think of what to write

for my six word autobiography.

I thought you decided not to go.

I know, but I keep changing my mind.

Part of me wants to go, but another part of me is scared.

- But it's an amazing opportunity. - Hey...

This is an amazing opportunity.

You guys are not helping.

Let me break it down for you, lizzard. excuse me.

You can stick to what you know and play it safe.

Or you can step outside your comfort zone and challenge yourself.

So what's it gonna be? Hanging out with the Johnnys and jarones of the world,

or are you courageous enough to try something new?

[car alarm blaring in distance]

[Eddie] that sounds like something you should consider.

- It's in a good neighborhood, right? - Yo, hey.

[Anita] Before you pull someone out of the water

you better make sure you're standing on solid ground.

[children yelling, faint]

[Moira] Don't take your time.

I have a waiting list of a hundred kids

that would take your spot in a heartbeat.

[Devin] You can stick to what you know and play it safe.

Or you can step outside your comfort zone and challenge yourself.

[toilet flushes]

I guess you know it was me on that video.

I kinda figured.

You know what the worst part is?

Worse than everyone in the entire school thinking it's me?

It's the feeling of me being embarrassed to be seen with Charles.

- I hate myself for it. - I know how you feel.

- Why, did you make a sex tape? - Hell no.

I mean, I know how you feel

about having to hide your relationship.

You know that special someone I mentioned?

Yeah.

Her name is Alison.

I mean, everyone's got their secrets, right?

But Cassie, if I had things my way, I'd tell everyone.

Then why don't you?

My parents would kill me.

They don't want anyone to know the reverend and his wife

have a gay daughter.

So you're telling me not to worry about what other people think

but you're hiding, too?

I'm just trying to protect my mom and dad.

I don't want them to get hurt.

But aren't they hurting you?

[school bell rings]

I got the bio on the victims.

The first guy, DeMarco, was a janitor at the school where Barnes' son went.

Turns out, the kid hits a janitor,

then was sent to the principal's office.

Principal Bronson.

- Victim number two. - The principal suspends the kid.

GET THIS: The day he leaves school,

he has a run-in with a drug dealer, who attacks him with a knife.

Let me guess. Drug dealer's name is Randall wilbert.

AKA, victim number three.

The kid ends up in the hospital and dies a few hours later.

- Who's the fourth victim? - Isabel Lopez, the hospital nurse.

So Barnes' latest attacks are on a janitor and a principal.

Think he's repeating his pattern?

[exhales] It's possible.

You know, losing a child will make you lose your mind.

I could've been this guy.

I was almost that guy last week.

Used to be a fireworks show every July fourth.

Everyone and their aunt Tilly would gather

at the baseball diamond by the school.

I remember. They closed it for fire hazard.

Anna had just turned two.

Bettina and I thought she'd be scared, but she proved us wrong.

My baby loved watching the sparkles in the sky.

Thing about fireworks is they sound like guns.

So when bangers started popping into the crowd, no one blinked.

Took us a minute before we realized what was happening.

[stammers] Two teens shot.

Next thing you know, people are running,

screaming and shoving every which way.

She got pushed.

Trampled.

Powell, I'm sorry, man.

You know, that day I... I thought I'd go crazy.

Sometimes life makes no sense.

That's for sure.

If it wasn't for bettina, I'd be pushing daisies right about now.

- [respirator hissing] - [monitors beeping]

[crying]

Jenn, you have to see this.

A brand-new crash cart.

Oh, my God. Who sent this?

Here's a note.

"it's not everything, but it's a start.

All blessings, Anita Kingston."

wow, did I underestimate her.

- That's strange. - Isn't it?

Some people do the most unexpected things.

I mean that guy outside standing in the middle of traffic.

He keeps looking in here like he wants to come inside.

Oh, my God.

[ringing]

Jenn, what's up?

He's outside the clinic. I think he wants to come in for treatment.

Barnes is at the clinic.

Jenn, listen to me.

He's not there for treatment. Lock the doors now!

[sirens blaring]

[Eddie] I got him! I got him!

Stop!

Freeze! Put your hands where I can see them!

Good help, Jack. Are you all right?

Oh, yeah. [sighs]

- He got caught, right? - [laughing]

so, which one of you is a rat?

Colin Barnes went down because the lhpd was tipped off to his whereabouts.

The only way somebody could've known is if one of you spilled the beans.

Sir, we apprehended somebody on your most wanted list. Don't we deserve some thanks?

Our intention was to arrest Barnes' girlfriend on other charges.

But apparently when Barnes knew he was spotted,

he phoned his girl and she fled.

I want to know which one of you lightweights defied my orders.

Speak up, or you're all suspended.

Sir, I couldn't in good conscience keep this from my family.

- We live here. - Officer Sutton.

Next time you're up for promotion, you'll know why you didn't get it.

I told my wife.

Couldn't have her walking around with some nut job on the loose. hell no.

- I told my sister. - I told my son.

And when we stopped for coffee...

...He told the guy at the mini-mart. sir.

[giggling]

- The mini-mart, man? - It's all I could think of, man.

- Y'all be good, man. Good work. - All right.

- You owe me one, Sutton. - For what?

For holding up that blue wall.

I didn't tell bettina diddly.

Hey, Powell, one more thing.

Jenn runs a group for mothers who lost their children.

Maybe bettina, you know...

Have her call Jenn if she wants.

[school bell rings]

Charles, wait.

[students whooping and murmuring]

what are you doing? There's people around.

What people?

- [boy] Get a room! - Check out the porn stars!

Bow-bow-bow- chicka-wow-wow.

Was it or was it not chassie in the theater with a condom?

Tell the truth, buddy. Tell the truth.

[Stacy] Everyone, shut up!

You want to know who was starring in that video?

It was me.

Me... And that guy.

Yes! You heard the woman.

I made sweet, sweet love to her.

Now you can all go back to your pathetic sex-free lives.

What's your name again?

Hey. That was really cool of you.

Well, I got your secret, and you've got mine.

Wait up.

Oh, my God. Sage?

[heavy breathing]

Honey, mommy's here.

[sobbing] Doctor.

Doctor! She's waking up!

Mom...

Mom, where are we?

- Where's dad? - Honey, we're in a hospital.

Save your energy. Don't talk, honey.

Where's Charles?

[crying and sniffling]

I hope you don't regret what we did.

I don't regret what we did...

...But, um, I do regret where we did it.

Oh, you wanted to do it on the floor?

[phone ringing]

Hello?

Slow down.

Yeah, I can find him.

Right away.

[phone dialing]

Hello, dad? It's me.

Sage is awake.

- What? - You don't answer your phone?

What'd I screw up this time?

A chance to be by your daughter's side when she opened her eyes.

Sage is conscious?

I gotta go see her.

I'll drive you.

But you gotta figure out where drinking fits in on your list of priorities.

See, now, you got a second chance at fatherhood.

[Jenn] It's unbelievable.

Lund must be thrilled.

In shock is more like it.

Poor guy's been slipping back into his old ways,

I've been giving him a hard time,

trying to drill some sense into him.

People get weighed down under the pressure,

and they need a crutch to hold them up.

That crutch can be a therapist or a drink...

A shotgun.

I know it's not the best idea, but...

...I don't know what else to do.

Well, until we can agree on a solution,

how about this.

I'll take this half...

...You take this half.

As long as this is in our house, it stays in two pieces.

I don't want to risk any accidents.

Where'd you learn how to break down a gun?

[hip-hop music, muffled]

[playing keyboard]

So you're not afraid of the big bad attic?

I could hear you playing. You're getting better. A lot better.

Thanks.

I was thinking about what you said.

You can practice here whenever you want,

but you better knock

before you come barging into my room.

For real? That's junk!

Tay, I'm doing you a favor.

No, junk's a good thing. Devin taught me that.

Goodbye comfort zone.

Hello new life.

Hey.

Uh... I got you this.

Thank you. Thanks.

Hey.
