Original subtitles

[Lizzie] Previously on � Lincoln Heights:

All I had to do was say � the word "abort"...

...and they'd be alive.

I need your help. � I'm up for parole.

Parole?

She's got a lot of nerve, � asking us for help.

Maybe it would help us find out � where that money came from.

[Jenn] When you said she � was being released, you didn't � mention she was staying with us.

Mr. Crawford, what do you know � about that money � we found in that house?

You know what they say � about looking a gift horse � in the mouth?

That's exactly what � you're doing right now.

This year's fall musical � is more important than ever.

We are raising funds � to rebuild the middle school!

Back off! � Don't touch her.

She's my girl.

You didn't tell me you � spent the night with Sage!

I didn't end up shaking � my butt on the Internet!

I've been thinking, maybe � we need to take a break.

- I don't want to hold you back. � - I still care about you.

[Charles] Bye, Cassie.

Mom! Cyd's gone.

[Eddie] Come on, Nate. � We're gonna get you some help.

[cat howls]

How do you unscrew this thing?

Just leave the box � of salt on the table.

You know Mom � won't go for that.

Mom's not gonna see it.

Mom's coming down � to breakfast today.

- Who said? � - The doctor.

Just a few more days � at home recuperating � and she's all clear.

Here, let me.

Damn.

Grandma Sutton would say � that's a bad sign.

You don't believe in � that stuff do you, Dad?

No, but I need some luck.

I was up all night � looking for Cyd.

You guys know what � could have set her off?

Almost anything. � She used to live here.

I'm sure it � brought back memories.

If I were Cyd, I wouldn't � be stressing about the past.

I'd be thinking about � how to get my hands � on that cold hard cash.

Wish I could help, Dad. � Last time I talked to Cyd � I gave her Minnie's diary.

- What'd she say? � - Not much. I don't think � she'd ever seen it before.

[Cassie] Mom, � the eggs are ready!

Nate?

[Cassie] Mom! Your eggs � are getting cold!

- Mom, I have rehearsal! � - Would you guys chill, � let your mother take her time.

Hey, Mom. Welcome back, � we missed you...

- Are you OK? � - [Jenn] I'm fine.

I'm not the one in this family � who needs a doctor.

How the Army can say they're � not responsible for Nate Ray's � condition is just beyond me.

They believe he was like this � before he re-enlisted?

- Maybe he wouldn't have gone � if things had been cool. � - It wasn't your fault, Tay.

Nate went back because � he felt like his mission � wasn't finished.

Like he'd walked out � on his family there.

But I'm back. � So where my eggs?

- [kids laugh] � - [Eddie] Coming right up.

[Andrew] Good morning, Julie.

Antonio, I made haste � to get here.

I, too, have braved � these mean streets for you.

It's them, man. � Let's get 'em.

[indistinct chatter]

[Charles] If you have a minute, � I need to talk to you.

[Cassie] Sure.

What's this?

I came to tell you, � I'm joining the Army.

What? Are you crazy? � You can't do that.

I didn't come so you'd � talk me out of it.

I came because I didn't want � you to hear it from anyone else.

Why are you doing this?

This is the � right thing for me.

I talked to a recruiter � who can get me into a � special GED program.

So if I pass a few other � tests, it's a done deal.

[Cassie] You'll miss � the rest of senior year.

Even though we're not together, � it'll be fun.

Maybe for you. � I'm an Army brat.

Robeson's just another � school to me.

I'll let you know � before I leave.

Charles!

[door closes]

[woman] �� The city � never sleeps ��

�� You got to live � to your own beat ��

�� So easy come � and easy go ��

�� What is home? ��

[chorus vocalizing]

�� Home ����

- Eddie, how's it going? � - Commissioner Volker.

I thought you had better things � to do on your day off.

I do. But I'm in pursuit � of a paroled runaway.

Don't ask. I'm checking � accident reports

before I drive � down to Riverside.

I bet it has something to do � with that money, doesn't it?

Yeah, I vouched the girl � was a model citizen. � Now she's gone AWOL on me.

Oh, that's the kid who claims � your money belongs to her?

Wait. Who isn't minding � my business here?

[man] Forget the girl. � Get paid.

You have to admit, � a bag of money on a porch?

If you solve who done it, I'll � get you a promotion on the spot.

�� They don't wanna see ��

�� How happy we could be ��

�� I'll fight ��

�� And I'll die in your arms ��

[vocalizing]

[applause]

Excellent. That's all � for today, young thespians.

- Act two tomorrow. � - Yo, come on.

When I created this role, � I never imagined an actor

who could capture Julie � so perfectly.

Thank you, Mr. Donlevy.

I guess this means � you'll get the lead � in the fall show from now on.

- What's up? � - So you'd rather kiss her � than one of your own?

- What? � - A black girl and a homeboy � can't hang in this hood.

Excuse us.

- Kick his ass! � - [girl] Somebody get � the principal!

- Mr. Donlevy! � - Stop!

- Break this up! Break this up! � - [students chattering]

- [boys grunting] � - What's going on? � What happened here?

It started after Lizzie � sang her big number

and kissed Andrew.

Not right after, but it might � have ruffled a few feathers.

[students murmuring]

I told you, � I never saw that book.

It's your sister's diary, � Aunt Hazel.

Listen...

"It's my birthday today. � Mama made strawberry shortcake.

I invited a boy from down � the street to come to my party.

Everyone was surprised � when he came."

Who was the boy? � Was it Mr. Crawford?

�� It's Minnie's birthday ��

- �� Baby sister's birthday �� � - Would you stop singing � and focus!

Hold on now, take it easy.

- Hello, Hazel. � - Hello, Daddy.

She's driving me crazy.

Half the time she � knows it's me, the other half � she thinks I'm her nurse.

You're driving me crazy. � Searching all over town � looking for you.

"They're just wasting � their time," he said,

trying to get me � to sign that paper.

No matter how much money � they throw at me,

I'm not signing nothing!

Wait, Aunt Hazel, who said that?

Daddy took that bag � and threw it at him.

Even though he was kind enough � to come to the party.

Nothing could pay for that.

What was in the bag?

Blood money.

That's what he called it.

Somebody gave your father money � to cover up Minnie's death?

Was it Mr. Crawford?

I'm tired. � Ooh, I'm so tired.

- Time for me to take my nap, � Miss Bossy. � - Aunt Hazel, please don't...

She may never � remember this again.

- It's OK, let her sleep. � - We need more information.

That's all I needed. � She said it was blood money.

You believe her?

Nice seeing you again, � Mrs. Glass.

- Bye, Daddy. � - Wait, wait, wait. � We... We can't go now.

That money belongs � to your family.

Come on.

- Just like that? � - All I needed was the truth.

- You seem relieved. � - In a way, I am.

- It's not that easy. � - The money's yours. � What more do you want?

Justice. That old guy � that set that fire, � he killed my great aunt.

Sixty years ago. Take the money. � Rebuild your life.

Ask yourself why � you moved into our house.

It was cheap, big and � I didn't need a down payment.

The Suttons, the Glasses, � we're connected.

If you make this right maybe � your luck will change, too.

Who said anything about luck?

Ever since you � moved into our house

bad things have � happened to you.

[Tay] So what do you � want to watch?

Sports, a movie? � I know you must be tired � of watching CNN all day.

Not really.

Ooh! Music videos. You gotta see � this new one, it's a monster.

[�� Far East Movement: � Dance Like Michael Jackson]

�� Moonwalk all over your face ��

�� I'm priceless � Identity crisis ��

�� You dance � I dance to white disc ��

�� I got the moves � to thrill ya ��

�� Looks to kill ya ��

�� Straight up like tequila ��

I'm gonna go � get some snacks.

You like chili cheese fries, � right?

�� Good vibe bad, though � Mixarto ��

�� Blend it like a... ��

- [women laughing] � - Mom?

I didn't know you had company. � You're supposed to be in bed.

Don't be mad, Tay, I stopped by � to bring her a little treat.

[women giggle]

Candy? Come on. � And you know you have � two days of bed rest left.

Tay, hold off � on fixing those fries.

It's nice to see you, Nate.

Hello. I'm gonna... � I'm gonna to go lay down.

I don't know if I should � follow him or leave him alone.

I wish I knew.

Other than prescribing him � anti-depressants...

- I'm at a loss. � - I want to go to the VA � and kick someone's butt.

Tay, Tay, that's not � the way to get Nate Ray help.

Then what are we � supposed to do, Mom?

[knocking on door]

[Cassie] Charles!

What about Nate Ray? He may � not ever be the same again!

That's not going � to happen to me, Cassie.

How do you know?

I'm going to � take an exam.

It'll show my aptitude � for mechanics.

If they send me � to Afghanistan,

- I'm not gonna see any action. � - Why even risk it?

Can't you take the GED and � try to get into college first?

There's no way I can � afford college, Cassie.

I don't want to start � my life off in debt.

The Army will pay for � my education. I'm not � afraid of the military.

My mom and I were happy living � on Army bases for a long time.

It's like a big family.

I need that Cassie.

Dad, can I � ask you something?

Sure. What's up?

Why did you let � Nate Ray re-enlist?

It wasn't up to me. � Nate Ray is his own man.

But he's so different now.

Don't you wish � you'd told him not to go?

Well, I wish he hadn't � gotten injured, but...

I don't regret � supporting his decision.

I'm proud of him.

- Where's all this coming from? � - Charles.

He told me he wants � to enlist in the morning.

Charles?

You sure he's � going through with it?

He says it's the only way � to pay for school.

- Dad, what should I do? � - All you can do is � support him through this.

I know it's hard, but you have � to let him choose his own path.

We're already responsible � for too many kids as it is.

- That's right. � - When we decided to have three, � we knew it'd be difficult.

- So true. � - Then we got Nate Ray, not � something we planned, a gift.

- Definitely. � - I've done my bit for Charles.

Way beyond what � somebody else might do.

- That's right. � - He wants to join the Army, � good luck.

All we can do is pray for him. � If he wants to go to war,

loses a limb, gets maimed, � comes back like Nate Ray...

- I guess I should talk to him. � - Good idea, Eddie.

Hey, Charles! � Hold up.

Cassie mentioned you were � thinking about joining.

- You should reconsider. � - I know what I'm doing, � Mr. Sutton.

Charles, you have options.

If getting your education � is the point, you can work � your way through school. I did.

I want to serve my country. � I thought you'd respect that.

I would if I thought � serving your country had � anything to do with this.

You're running away again.

I thought you were � done running.

I can't go to school � every day and see Cassie.

- It hurts too much. � - I get that.

You two probably � need time apart.

- But not like this. � - So it's OK for Cassie

to go to New York � and leave me.

But it's not OK � for me to leave her?

You think you're � all alone in this.

But, Charles, � people care about you.

I care about you.

No, Mr. Sutton, � you're here for Cassie.

I'm just looking out for myself.

Charles.

Walk through that door, � your whole life changes.

That's what I'm hoping.

�� I don't wanna make � the choice between ��

�� You and my friends ��

�� You've shown me a new world ��

�� Where love � doesn't care about ��

�� The color of your skin ��

- �� Listen to me... �� � - I'm sorry to break this up. � We have to shut down the show.

I can't risk another � school riot.

But that was over � two years ago.

We still have � the same problems.

- After yesterday... � - That was only a few students.

Perhaps, if we cut � the offending number?

That's the best number � in the show.

There is too much tension � between our students � for this show.

But isn't this play � about Romeo and Juliet?

Shakespeare was making a point � about two warring families.

I know Shakespeare, Miss Sutton.

He wasn't the principal � of Robeson High School.

- Just give me 24 hours. � - [students whispering]

- Don't they call this � "censorship"? � - [tsking] Julie.

Alright, this has to be � about Charles.

I've seen your little � break-up routine before.

You don't understand. � Charles is joining the Army.

Right. And I'm going � into a nunnery.

For real, Sage.

My dad just called, Charles � signed up a little while ago.

- You're kidding? � - New York and Pratt � is not worth losing Charles.

Well, then you better � step to it, girl.

Before you go...

...take these to table three.

- [keyboard playing softly] � - [Tay humming]

�� You risked your life ��

�� So we could live free � Oh, oh ��

I heard you playing.

Sorry, I got this idea � in my head.

I ran straight home � from school to get it down.

I'd love to hear � the rest of it.

I'm still working on it.

I'm your mother. � You can play it for me.

Mom, I'm an artist. � It's not finished yet.

I'll tell you what, � if it's OK with Nate,

let me get an audience for � the artist known as Tay Sutton

to debut his song � for an adoring public.

Mr. Crawford, open up.

Admit it! Your parents � tried to pay off my family!

We know you set that fire. � You can't run forever.

Bet if I took that damned pig...

Hey, Tay tried that once. � It weighs a ton.

- [grunting] � - Let go of that!

- Get off my porch � or I'm calling the police! � - Save your time.

If you don't want me to � bring you in for questioning, � you start talking.

We found an eyewitness � to the fire.

[Cyd] That cross you set on fire � burned my Aunt Minnie.

[Eddie] Crawford, � she was only 12 years-old.

I did not set it.

After the � little girl died...

...my parents urged the � guilty party to do something.

As if the money would � mean anything.

A hundred thousand dollars � was a lot of money back then.

And my great-grandfather hid it.

Aunt Hazel knew it was � in there somewhere.

- She called it my legacy. � - Curse, if you ask me.

That family fell apart.

- I watched it. � - And you never said anything?

It was an awful burden to carry.

I was a friend to those girls.

- Who did it? � - You do not want to know.

- I have to know. � - If he ever found out � you knew it was him...

Forget a fire, � he would bury you alive.

If you don't tell me, they gonna � have to put me back in jail!

I'm getting the justice � my great-grandfather couldn't!

- Hey! Sit down! � - [grunts]

You've come this far, Crawford, � make it easy on yourself.

Cassie, why'd you call? � Are you OK?

I figured something out.

My life wouldn't be worth living � if something happened to you.

I want to be here for you � no matter what, Charles.

Marry me.

- Really? � - [sighs]

Cassie, what about � your dreams?

Well, I could chase them � and they could all come true,

but in the end I'd still � come looking for you, and � if you weren't there, I'd die.

Say yes, Charles. � Marry me right away.

Yes.

We're getting married!

- [knock on door] � - [Cassie] Mom, Dad?

[Eddie] Come in.

Charles, you're still here? � It's getting late.

Yes, sir. � I was about to go.

- Is everything OK? � - Yeah. Everything's great.

Mr. and Mrs. Sutton...

Cassie and I...

...are going � to get married.

We came to ask � for your blessing.

Well? Aren't you � gonna say something?

- Have you lost your mind? � - This is insane...

You can't have my blessing! � I'll put my foot...

- Wait a second! � - I told you they � wouldn't go for it.

Why can't you just � support us?

What happened to being there � for the people you love?

Don't try to turn my words � around, Cassie. This has � nothing to do with it.

Why? Because now it's me � we're talking about, � and not just Charles?

I'm gonna stand by him, � now and always, Dad.

OK, wait. Wait, listen, � both of you.

We know how much � you love each other.

I know we can't stop you, � but this is a huge decision.

You don't have to � do this right now.

All we ask is that you just... � think about it a while.

OK, we'll think about it.

- Do we have your word? � - Yes, sir.

Good night, Mr. and Mrs. Sutton.

- Wow. � - [exhales deeply]

- At least we � dodged that bullet. � - For now.

- [humming] � - [footsteps approaching]

- Sorry. I, I didn't mean to... � - No, no. It's cool.

This song's for you anyway.

You did not write � a song for me, Tay.

I mean, you didn't � have to do that.

I know.

But I can do something for my � big brother if I want to, right?

�� He chose to fight � for freedom ��

�� And he chose to fight � for me ��

�� Your heart ��

�� Is filled with � so much courage ��

�� You risked your life ��

�� So we could live free ��

�� Oh, oh ��

That's all I got so far.

Mom asked me to perform for � the support group at the clinic.

What do you think of me � using your song?

I think what good's a song � if you keep it to yourself?

In fact, when you're done

I'd love to send the MP3 � to my Army buddies.

If anybody needs to hear it, � they do.

�� Every day with you ��

�� I can't bring myself ��

�� I'd love to come back ��

- �� And find you �� � - [turns CD player off]

Listen up, people.

Marta has the lyrics for our � new show-stopping triumph.

- This song sucks. � - I beg to differ. � It will bring down the house.

Antonio and Julie � agreeing to be friends � is gonna empty the house.

Trust me, we will make it work.

This is what theatre's about... � improvising.

No, theatre is about � advancing social causes,

making people see the world � through a different lens. � Not censorship.

This is the only way � we can do the show.

- [students grumbling] � - And the show must go on.

- Maybe, but not with me. � - [girl] Lizzie!

I'm sorry Mr. Donlevy, � but I can't be in a show that � says stupid haters are right

and there's something wrong � with me kissing Andrew.

This is just � a high school musical.

No, it's not. Andrew is � my boyfriend in real life.

- [students murmuring] � - I can't change your mind?

- [girl] Since when? � - [scoffs]

Alright. Who would like to � try out for the role of Julie?

- How about you Rachel? � - No, thanks.

- Sharon? � - [Sharon] Not me.

[boy] Whatever.

I'm sure Angie would be honored � to do the part.

Lizzie's right. � Better to not do a show � than a censored version.

Especially with Angie.

You people � made a commitment.

You can't just walk out.

This play is a � school fund-raiser.

You'll all serve detention!

- [exhales] Mom? � - Hey, baby.

What is it, hon? � I'm busy, so make it quick.

OK... but just... � don't judge me.

- I'm joining the Army. � - [glass breaking]

You're doing what?!

It's the only way � I can afford college.

What about a scholarship, � or work-study?

If I join the Army � my education is free.

I don't want to start my life � with Cassie paying loans

for the rest of our lives. � We're getting married tomorrow.

Mom? Did you hear what I said?

Tomorrow?

Wait a few weeks, � let me save up for a ticket.

Mom, we're going � to the courthouse.

Just me and Cassie.

[indistinct chattering]

Lizzie, will you sit with me?

Sure.

I just have to � tell someone.

Charles and I � are getting married.

Wait, what? Married?

- For real? � - Mm-hmm.

Do... � Do Mom and Dad know?

They tried to � talk us out of it.

We told them we'd � think about it, and we did.

We're eloping.

- When? � - Tomorrow.

We've already picked up � our marriage license.

All that's left � is a trip to the courthouse.

You're not even done with high � school yet. What's the rush?

Charles is joining the Army. � If he gets shipped out,

we want to be married � before he leaves.

Promise you won't � tell Mom and Dad?

They'll try to stop us.

I promise.

Eddie. Sorry to � keep you waiting.

Claire said this was urgent.

The money I found, turns out, � it's a payoff for a murder.

You have any evidence?

Don't you even want to know � who the victim was?

Or do you already know?

- I don't like your tone, Eddie. � - Minnie Glass was 12.

You burned a cross � on her front lawn.

And her dress caught fire.

- Did you even try to save her? � - Get out.

Tom Crawford � saw the whole thing.

[snickers] Crawford? � You come here on his word?

Once this gets into the papers, � I'm willing to bet there'll be � others who remember that time.

And saw things they'd � just as soon forget.

Why are you doing this to me?

- I'm doing this for Cyd Glass. � - She's a criminal.

One word from me, � she's back in prison. Forever.

You'll have to � shut me up, too.

And Tom Crawford.

Why'd you do it, Hugh?

I was a stupid kid.

It was a prank, � burning that cross.

What good's it � gonna do now, Eddie?

You ruined a family.

Money can't pay that debt. � You're gonna have to do it.

The hell I will.

Who's gonna believe you?

I hoped it wasn't true.

You have the right � to remain silent.

Anything you say can and � will be used against you

in a court of law.

[echoing] You have � the right to an attorney.

[no audio]

�� Oh, whoa, you know � this world can be blind ��

�� Can't see � who's been on the line ��

�� The fire � Who's fighting ��

�� With honor ��

�� Whoa, oh, seems like � there's no helping hand ��

�� All they see � is a soldier, not a man ��

�� They won't even � give you a chance ��

�� So now we'll fight ��

�� For you ��

�� My brother ��

�� My brother ��

�� You know we'll see you ��

�� Through ��

�� My brother ��

�� Oh, my brother ��

�� Yeah ��

�� Healing ��

�� Right now ��

[vocalizing]

�� See, I will � be there for you ��

�� Wherever you are ��

�� You know I will � be there for you... ��

[dog barks]

Here you go, � it's all yours.

We set up an account � at our branch.

The manager'll show you � how to invest it.

I don't know what to say.

Thank you.

Bye, Cyd.

Keep in touch.

I hate to say goodbye.

It's been fun having you � as a roommate.

Cassie, want to ride with us � to the halfway house?

I'm sorry, I have � a pretty busy day.

You were great, � in every way.

Cassie, you're... � You're really gonna � go through with this?

- Yes. � - I just really think � you should tell Mom and Dad.

If they miss � your wedding, Cassie...

There won't be a wedding � if I tell them.

You promised. Don't tell.

Before we go, there's � something I want to give you.

[Cassie] Oh, wow.

Are those real stones?

It's the only valuable thing � that my mom owns.

She was so upset � she couldn't make it.

But she hopes that � this will make her � a part of the wedding.

Cassie, don't cry. If you don't � want to go through with this...

- Why? Do you not want to? � - Of course I do.

But I know it's not � the wedding of your dreams.

It will be the wedding � of my dreams.

Because I'm marrying you.

I hope you all have had � a chance to consider � the trouble you've made.

And the impact of walking out � on this year's fund-raiser.

- A very important production. � - Alright, here's the deal.

Anyone who's ready � to go back to the musical

will be released from detention.

- Miss Sutton? � - Will you put the song � back in the show?

- We can't do that. � - Then we can't come back.

- We're staying put. � - Sorry.

I hope you realize � the harm you're doing.

Because of you, � all of your friends

will be in detention � for the next month.

- [students grumbling] � - [girl] What?!

Great job wrecking the show, � Lizzie.

That's so diva � to just drop out.

I dropped out because I care � what the show stands for.

No. You dropped out � because your voice is weak.

[scoffs] Whatever.

Do you guys remember when Angie � sang the finale last year?

Wasn't she amazing?

- She was off-key. � - Shut up, Grady.

OK. Angie would put Lizzie's � little act to shame.

Just tell the truth, Lizzie,

you quit the play so you � wouldn't embarrass yourself.

[boy] Back off, Marta. � Lizzie stood up for us.

Lizzie, kick her ass. � Sing it, girl!

- [girl] Come on, Lizzie. � - [boy] Go ahead, Lizzie.

�� Listen to me ��

�� So you'll understand ��

�� That if they won't � let us be ��

�� And they won't let us love ��

�� I'll fight ��

�� And I'll die ��

�� In your arms ��

�� Could it be forever, girl? � Could it be forever, girl? ��

�� Will it be forever, boy? � Will it be forever, boy? ��

�� They say we're too young ��

�� To feel this way ��

[chorus] �� But they � don't know the truth ��

�� But they don't � know the truth ��

[chorus] �� But they � don't know it's you ��

�� But they don't � know it's you ��

[chorus] �� If they � won't let us be ��

�� And they won't let us love ��

- �� I'll fight �� � - [chorus] �� And I'll die � in your arms ��

�� In your arms �� � [vocalizing]

�� If they don't wanna know � If they don't wanna see ��

�� They don't wanna see � They don't wanna see ��

- [vocalizing] � - [chorus] �� And I'll � die in your arms ��

�� Die in your arms ��

[vocalizing]

[students chattering � indistinctly]

Let's talk about getting � these kids back in rehearsal.

[all cheering]

Devastation from the recent � earthquake hit this urban area

and its war veterans � especially hard.

- But Tay Sutton's � heartfelt performance... � - Jenn!

- Jenn, come quick! � - What is it? Are you OK?

Everything, � everything's great. Look!

...hope of a better day � that many citizens

and returning vets � have been fighting for.

And it all started � with young Taylor Sutton...

�� Fight for you ��

I gotta call Tay.

- [cell phone rings] � - Hey, what's up, Nate?

Tay, I just wanted to call you

before the reporters � start blowin' up your phone.

You're on the news � singing my song.

What? That's dope.

I e-mailed Fight for You � to the guys in my unit.

They sent links � to their families.

You're about to go viral!

I knew I was onto something. � Lizzie, guess what?

My song is, like, � an Internet sensation.

Great. Nate, can you � put Mom on the phone?

Hold on. Here.

- Yeah? � - Mom, I hate to � tell you this, but...

- Lizzie, are you OK? � - Cassie and Charles are � getting married right now!

I swore I wouldn't � say anything, but somebody � needs to be there for them.

[indistinct chatter]

Got everything?

Yeah. You nervous?

Not even.

- Oh! � - I got you.

[indistinct chatter]

[elevator dings]

Kermit Gibbons, Charles Antoni, � Carlos Echevara.

Dear family and friends,

thank you all for gathering � to pledge your love and support

for these couples today.

This day is the most � important in their lives.

- Where do we go? � - I don't know, let's just go.

Come on, come on. � Let's go, you guys.

Let's go.

Who here gives their � affirmation and blessing

to this sacred union?

[man] We do.

[woman] I do.

[man 2] I do.

- Oh, no. � - Lincoln Heights PD.

My daughter's � getting married...

- Sorry, you all gotta be... � - Family emergency.

Sir, excuse me. � Family emergency.

Should anyone show just cause

as to why this union � should not go forward...

[sighs]

...speak now or forever � hold your peace.

No! I'm not carrying � a weapon.

- [Jenn] A harmonica? � - You've got to be kidding me. � He's Ray Charles now?

My bad, I was gonna � play a tune for the newlyweds.

Let's take the stairs.

[elevator dings]

- Cassie! � - Dad?

- We thought we missed it. � - Baby, we missed it, didn't we?

- [noisemaker blows] � - Congratulations!

[Cassie] Wait, hold on.

- We didn't get married. � - Oh, thank God!

We couldn't do it. � Cassie should have � her family with her.

You're a lot smarter � than I give you credit for.

But we are engaged. And we � still want to exchange the vows � we wrote, just for practice.

Practice away, but promise us � when you do the real thing,

I get to give you away.

And I get to help you � pick your dress.

I promise.

[Jenn] Let's have the practice � ceremony at the house right now.

Cassie...

I always felt alone � in the world,

until that moment � I saw you in art class.

I knew that I'd met

the person I'm going to spend � the rest of my life with,

and I'd never � be lonely again.

The sacrifices you're making � so that we can be together

go beyond anything that � anyone has ever done for me.

I pledge you � my eternal love.

Charles, we've been through � so much together.

You've risked � your life for me,

you stood by me.

When you said you were � going to join the Army

that's when I knew � I'd always be there for you.

I promise when you � wake up every morning,

one thing you can � be sure of...

...I'll be there forever.

- [doorbell rings] � - Oh, I wonder who that is?

Cassie, you look gorgeous. � I love that dress.

And your vows were beautiful.

Thanks.

I can't wait to do it � for real one day.

- Me, too. � - [door closes]

Charles, you have � a surprise guest.

- Mom? � - Baby, I got here � as soon as I could.

- Oh, I heard I missed it. � - No, you didn't miss it.

- Cassie and I decided we � couldn't do it without family. � - [exhales heavily]

But... now that � you're all here...

Don't lose your mind.

There's someone else coming.

I couldn't miss your wedding.

He's the only person I knew � who could pay for a ticket � on the spot.

We've been talking...

Charles.

Your mother, she loves you � more than anything in the world.

And she gave me more than � an earful after what happened � in Santa Barbara.

Yeah.

All water under the bridge, � I hope.

Anyway, � this is your big day.

I don't want to spoil it.

You're not. We're having � a very, merry unwedding.

I hope that means it's � not too late for my offer.

I've been trying to push � your brother to follow � in my footsteps,

and he's been � kicking and screaming.

I have a feeling you wouldn't � if I could send you to one of � the best schools in America.

No, but... � But it's too late.

I just enlisted in the Army.

What would you say if � I could get you out of it?

I'd say thank you.

How about "Thank you, Dad"?

- [Charles] A-ha! � - [Jenn] So glad � you guys could make it.

- Oh! Everybody's here. � - [all laughing]

- [dance music plays] � - Charles...

[Cassie] I need a dance partner.

- Thank you. � - Sure.

- [laughing] � - [Jenn] Let's go dance, baby.

[indistinct chatter]

[Cyd] "Dear Sutton family,

no one deserves this � more than you do."

- Jenn! � - [Jenn] Yeah, hon?

Look at this.

She gave us � half the money.

She says she wouldn't have it � if it weren't for us.

You were right about her, Eddie. � She has a good heart.

I know what I'm talking about.

- I can read people. � - That's a good thing.

Now you're a rich woman.

She says she hopes � our luck will change.

You know, I think � it already has.

Nate Ray's finally � gonna get treatment.

Alright.

- [Jenn] Tay's a star. � - �� Been on the line ��

- [Eddie] Lizzie's Lizzie again. � - [laughing]

[Tay vocalizing]

[Eddie and Jenn] Cassie and � Charles didn't get married!

[Eddie] And we're � 50 grand richer!

I'd say we're some � very lucky Suttons.

[Tay] �� So now we'll fight ��

�� For you ��

�� My brother ��

�� My brother ��

�� You know we'll see... ��
