[Lizzie] Previously on
LINCOLN HEIGHTS:

Oh, my gosh, Mr. Davis!

Jumping in here.
Danny marinero, Cassie Sutton.

- Nice to meet you.
- Who's that?

- [Cassie] Sage Lund.
- [Danny] Even her name sounds
like an aromatic spice.

It's the Madonna.
Would you like to have it?

- Really?
- It's a symbol of faith.

People need faith most
when they're in the midst
of a change.

I know this might not be
the best time, but maybe it is.

- The perfect present for you.
- Thanks.

That's beautiful.
You made that?

I thought maybe you could
plant the avocado seed in it.

Oh, my God.
Johnny, I am so sorry.

[Tay] Give it up,
Lizzie's with Devin.

They're going out this weekend.
Move on.

[Lizzie] I was hoping that
we could still be friends.

[Johnny] Friends, huh?

I'd like to take you out
for the most romantic night
of your life.

Johnny nightingale was in
a hit-and-run accident
this evening.

He died at the scene.

[Mrs. Hammond]
"The Lord is my shepherd.
I shall not be in want.

He makes me to lie down
in green pastures,

he leads me beside quiet waters,

he restores my soul.

He guides me in the paths
of righteousness

for his name's sake.

Yay, though I walk through the
valley of the shadow of death,

I will fear no evil,
for you are with me."

Lizzie! Lizzie!

Lizzie, are you OK?

[sobbing]

[students whispering]

- Lizzie.
- [sobbing]

Johnny nightingale's
personal effects.
You want to return them?

Vic was a family friend, right?

Johnny nightingale was close
to my daughter.

Heard you got a partial
on the suspect's vehicle.

We'll need more than a partial
plate to break this one.

- A loser.
- Mind if I work this case
on my own time?

You kidding?
I'll get you the file myself.

Eddie, you want help running
down leads, I'm there. Just ask.

OK. I'm asking. Thanks.

- Sure.
- [phone ringing]

Hey, Jenn, what's up?

Oh, I brought Lizzie home
from school.

- She had a mini breakdown.
- How's she doing?

She's not saying much.
When are you coming home?

Late. I'm working
the hit and run case.

- That's not yours.
- It is now.

Don't want it falling
through the cracks.

We make an arrest,
it might help Lizzie.

- [Devin on TV] We'll be home
before the sun sets.
- [Jenn] Thank you.

- You got your cell, Lizzie?
- Yes, mom.

[Johnny]
Be safe, you two.

[Devin] Hey, Lizzie, I got a
great spot in the park for us.

Slammin' food. It's gonna be
the best date of our lives.

- Brought you some soup.
- Thanks, but I'm not
really hungry.

Oh, Lizzie, honey, come on.
You need to eat.

Can you give this back
to Mrs. Hammond?

I don't want it anymore.

Lizzie, this is
a special gift.

- She would be hurt.
- She gave it to me
because of my faith, right?

- Yeah.
- Well, I don't
have faith anymore.

Johnny died on some street.

Bleeding, hurting and alone.

The nicest, kindest boy
I ever met!

What kind of God
lets that happen?

♪ The city never sleeps ♪

♪ You've got to live
to your own beat ♪

♪ So easy come and easy go ♪

♪ What is wrong? ♪

[vocalizing]

- [laughing]
- At some point
you're gonna have to learn.

[Cassie laughing] This
is gonna be a disaster.

What are you two
going on about?

Charles is gonna help me
practice driving,
get my license.

She's had a learner's
permit for two years.
The thing's growing mold.

Shut up. It hasn't
been that long.

I could use another
driver around here.

You can even borrow
my car for lessons.

Thanks, but we're
gonna use mine.

Yeah. Charles
just got a truck.

Money he earned working
for gasper the grasper.

Hm. You gonna let this child
behind the wheel?

What's wrong with that?

Biggest fight
your father and I ever had

- Was the day he tried
to teach me to drive.
- What happened?

We don't talk about it.

We will never fight
about driving my truck.

I don't mean to hurt
your feelings, giving it back.

My feelings aren't hurt,
Lizzie.

Losing your faith
is a hurting thing.

It must be hurting you.

[gospel choir singing]

You hear
my choir practicing?

- Beautiful, aren't they?
- I wasn't really listening.

The Lizzie I know would've heard
those voices celebrating God.

Well, I'm mad at God
because it's not fair.

No, Lizzie, it isn't.

But God gave us Johnny.
We have to celebrate who he was.

Mrs. Hammond, I was kissing
another boy when Johnny died.

Oh, Lizzie.

When you love someone
you go on a journey together.

Denny and I had our path.
The ministry.

Your journey with Johnny
hasn't ended. What was it?

I don't know.
Can't you tell me?

Only you know.

You'll figure it out.

How do I know where I'm going
or when I'm done?

Johnny will lead you.

And then you'll be able
to hear my choir again.

I gotta hand it to the kid.
He was unique.

Hit the lights?

You know,
forensics isn't happy

about us going back
over this stuff.

- Called us amateurs.
- It's not my job
to make them happy.

- I'm trying to make sure
they didn't miss something.
- How's Lizzie doing?

Jenn's got her going to see
Mrs. Hammond
for grief counseling.

- That's a good idea.
- Yeah, except we all gotta go.

Jenn thinks everyone
in the family needs
to talk about things.

I got something here.

[Eddie]
It's a paint chip.

- Amateurs one, forensics zero.
- Let's run it through pdq,

see if we can't match
make and model.

- [Cassie] I told you, I can't
drive a clutch.
- [tires squeal]

- Sure you can.
- I can't do this, Charles.

You're doing great.
More gas, less clutch.

[gears grinding]

- [tires squealing]
- [Charles] Whoa! Whoa!

- Whoa!
- [Cassie screams]

Oh, my God.
I wrecked your truck.

Don't worry.
You can't wreck a wreck, Cassie.

- You're really not mad?
- Just madly in love...

- ...With you.
- What's this?

- Marry me?
- What?

Marry me next year
as soon as we graduate?

Put it on.

- Are you serious?
- Look what happened to Johnny.

You never know
how much time you have.

Whatever time I have,
I want to spend it with you.

Will you be
Mrs. Charles antoni?

No.

But I'll be
Mrs. Cassie Sutton-antoni.

- I'm keeping my own name.
- As long as you keep me.

- [woman giggling]
That's what I've learned.
- Do you smell smoke?

[laughing]
Jennifer.

- Naomi.
- You haven't changed a day

- In... What has it been?
- [both] Seven years.

- What are you doing here?
- Pure impulse.

Yesterday the champs-Elysees,
today Lincoln heights.

We don't smoke
in the house.

Oh, oh, yes, of course.
Of course.

You're all worried about dying,
which is why I live in France.

You didn't tell me that
you had such a cool sister.

Oh, oh, half sister.

I am the evil offspring
from daddy's first marriage.

You. Why,
you must be Lizzie.

Look how big you got. Come and
give your auntie a big hug.

Oh, sweetie. And your little
friend died. I'm so sorry.

And this one, oh, my God.
Broken home, car crash, coma.

Rising from the dead!

- I gave her a scarf.
- She sings in a jazz band.

How amazing is that?
She knows movie stars
and musicians.

- So where you staying
while you're in town?
- Why, here. Where else?

Hey, thanks for working
with me after shift.

I'd do anything
for a turkey sandwich.

- Oh, hey, dad.
- Hey, sage. Why don't you
sit down and eat with us?

Can't. We're gonna catch
a 12:00 showing of body heat.

Danny says it's a classic.

Danny marinero. You have
a beautiful daughter, sir.

[sage giggles]
Bye, dad.

Love you.

Eddie.

Jenn told me you were here.
Big surprise.

Oh, I know.
Rude and thoughtless.

But I prefer to think of myself
as unpredictable.

Some people find that charming.

- Naomi Bradshaw.
- Kevin Lund.

Nice to meet you,
Kevin Lund.

Very nice, indeed.

- [knocking on door]
- Come in.

Hey. Can't sleep?

What's that?

Johnny nightingale's things
from his pockets.

Thought you might want
to take them to his aunt.

Sorry.
I didn't mean to wake you.

It's OK.

- What's in the box?
- A gift from your sister.

[chuckling]

- Lord.
- Does she really
have to stay here?

I know you don't like her.

She blows in and out of here
every few years,
takes up all the oxygen,

- And with all Lizzie's
problems...
- Eddie.

She's already
got her eye on Lund,

and you remember what
happened to my last partner.

[Naomi singing jazzy

♪ Mama's gonna buy you

[Naomi scatting]

Thanks for bringing this.

Um, I took them
by the post office,

but they said
you took time off.

I just can't seem to go
out of the house.

[sobbing] Do you
want to see his room?

Yeah.

He'd want you
to have something.

So look around. OK?

- Thank you.
- OK.

That's our house.

[Lizzie] In the newspaper,
on the front page, our house!

- Slow down. What was it?
- Supreme court was involved.

It's a newspaper story
from 1948.

Our house was a part
of a supreme court lawsuit.

- Something called
"restrictive covenants."
- Kidding?

Contracts that said
black folks couldn't
own homes in certain areas.

There's a big picture of our
house right on the front page.

The glass family bought the
house and a bunch of white
families sued to make them move.

Did you know?

I didn't know our house
was involved in that.

Why wouldn't Johnny
want me to know?

Maybe he didn't
get a chance to tell you.

No, dad, he told me there was
nothing important to know
about the glass family.

- Dad, he lied.
- I don't know, Lizzie.

Listen, I gotta go.
Talk to you tonight?

Lab report.
Paint chip comes from
one of three makes and models.

OK, let's cross check it
with the partial.

- See if we get a match.
- Hey, I didn't know
that Jenn had a half-sister.

She's trouble, Lund. She broke
my last partner's heart.

Sexy as hell
is what she is.

No, she looked at you like it
was feeding time at the zoo.

- And this is bad because...?
- Lund, she goes through men
like tissue paper.

You're in recovery. Not supposed
to have a serious relationship.

Who said anything about serious?

[laughing]

Well, Danny
is kidnapping me.

All I know is we're going
to a fish place on the water.

Oooh.
[speaking French]

and Cassie, when will I meet
your par amour du jour?

He's coming over later to
give me another driving lesson.

And you two are still speaking?
Oh, it must be love.

Actually, it is.
Look what Charles gave me.

A diamond?

Cassie, is this
what it looks like?

Charles said
we should get engaged.

Life is so short,
you never know.

Look what happened
to Johnny, mom.

That was a freak accident.
Listen, I like Charles,

but you're a little young
to be committing like this.

- We're not getting married
until after high school.
- And Jennifer...

- You weren't much older
when you got married.
- That was different.

Yes, and even crazier.

Everyone expected you
to go to medical school.

- But you gave it up for love.
- I didn't give up anything.

You know what,
I have to go to the clinic.
Cassie, think this through.

You're talking about
the rest of your life.

It's true. Just look what
happened to your mother.

Nothing happened to me.

- [doorbell ringing]
- Oh, that's Danny.

- OK, you're ready.
- Thanks, Naomi.

- You're so welcome.
- I love my hair.

[Cassie]
It's cute, sage.

[laughing] You like Italian?

I meant the food. Great.

Pick you up at 8:00.

- Who's the owner?
- Grant aikens.

Attorney-at-law.

All you got is
one partial license plate
and a tiny paint chip?

- That's not gonna stand up
in court.
- Take that to the lab.

If it doesn't match
we'll return your vehicle.

With one damn big apology.

With the keys
if you're lucky.

- Come on, you can do this.
- Charles?

Let's get married right now.

Forget about waiting
till we graduate.

- Are you serious?
- Yeah.

I mean, I thought about what you
said about life being so short.

And my mother wasn't much older
than me when she got married.

Sure, let's go for it. I mean,
we love each other. Why not?

By the way, this doesn't get you
out of your driving lesson.

Oh. One other thing.

Since I'm under 18 we have to
ask for my dad's permission.

Or you do.

That gets you out
of a driving lesson.

The law's booey. Like back
to slavery or something.

I know that, Tay.
That's not the point.

I need to know why Johnny
lied to me about it.

Hey, look. Johnny circled
some woman's face.

He didn't circle her face.
He circled her necklace.

David and Allison devries.

They were listed in the lawsuit
against the glass family.

Where did you find this?

Johnny wrote down an address.
Four-two-seven donatello.
Mission vista south.

Rich man's land.

Harrison devries.
Four-two-seven donatello.

Those people still live there.

- Wouldn't they be, like, 100?
- OK, then their relatives.

Johnny wanted
to go talk to them.

Come on, Tay,
this might be my journey.

Look at that thing.
You know what color
that jockey used to be, right?

Can I help you?

Mr. Devries? Hi, I'm Lizzie
Sutton. This is my brother, Tay.

How do you do?

Do I know you two?

Not really. We're friends
of Johnny nightingale.

I don't know
Mr. Nightingale.

Oh. Well,
Johnny was researching

a famous supreme court
housing lawsuit.

- Your family was a part of it?
- Yes.

That was a long time ago,
about the time
that statue was in fashion.

Well, um, we live in the house
that the glass family owned

in Lincoln heights.
The one your family sued over.

Yeah.

Here you go.
Taxi fare home.

- Now if you'll excuse me...
- Mr. Devries?

Johnny was killed last week.

He was hit by a car
not far from here.

Are you sure
you don't know Johnny?

Because he was keeping
all this a secret from me,

and I need to know why.

I never met your friend.
Sorry.

Goodbye.

I thought that
that was our journey,

discovering the
history of the house,

but why would Johnny
keep it from me?

- Maybe there is no journey.
- Lizzie, you must not give up.

It's important to find out why

Johnny kept this
a secret from you.

I know that, but how
am I supposed to do it?

Johnny's the only one
who knew, and he's dead.

You should pray on it.

- God stopped listening.
- Oh, Lizzie.

Thanks anyway, Mrs. Hammond.

The paint chip matched
the scratches on Aiken's car.

- When do we file charges?
- We don't.

Aiken's alibi checks out.
He wasn't driving the car
at the time.

Neither was his wife
or teenage son.

- Then who was?
- If he knows he's not saying.

I have to cut him loose.

Look, I'm not any happier about
this than you are, all right?

You guys bring me something,
I'll make an arrest.

He knows, Lund.
He knows who killed Johnny.

Maybe we should follow
Mr. Aikens
when he gets off work.

See where it leads us.

Thanks for coming, Mr. Sutton.
I know you're busy.

What's so important you
had to rush me down here?

Cassie isn't pregnant, is she?

God, no.

- I mean, you'd kill me.
- You got that right.

Are you sure
you don't want something?

They renamed
everything on the menu.

- Leonardo latte. Cubist cocoa.
- Charles.

I don't want cocoa.

Are you OK?

I have arrested murder suspects
that were more together.

Mr. Sutton, you know
how much I care about Cassie.

I love her with all my heart.

This better not be going
where I think it's going.

You two are way too young.

I...

I think of you as a role model.

I'll try to live up
to your example.

That's it?

See you later, son.

My dad wanted to know
if you were on drugs.

Did you even ask him?

[Lund] Wherever aikens is going,
it's not home.

Is he gonna drive around
all night?

Maybe he's having
an affair.

His lover drove the car,
he's protecting her.

[Lund] Pretty strange place
to have an affair.

[Naomi] What on Earth
are you doing, Jennifer?

School lunches at midnight?

This is a little nuts,
even for super mom.

I have a lot going on
right now, Naomi,

including
an extra houseguest.

Maybe if you would help,
you know, pitch in,

I wouldn't be doing this.

You don't want me making
your kids lunches, believe me.

Well, how about treating us
like family instead of
like you're slumming?

Hey, if the ghetto fits...

I'm sorry.
You come into my home,

you make disparaging comments
about everything,

- Including how
I choose to live...
- All I said

was that you chose family
over medical school.

- You got all defensive.
- I'm happy.

- You're the one
whose pathetic life fell apart.
- Pathetic life?

I'm not making
peanut butter sandwiches
in the middle of the night.

You know what?
I can't do this.

Just... I don't have the energy.
Please just go.

I can't. I've got a date with
Kevin Lund tomorrow night.

- Your sister
was driving your car?
- Yeah.

I loaned it to her
for a job interview.

She panicked when
she hit the boy, just...

- ...Drove off.
- What's she doing here?

She couldn't take the guilt.
Had a breakdown.

Angie's not stable, anyway.

She's had a rough time. Divorce.
Husband got custody of the kids.

I guess, um...

...Hitting that boy
just broke the camel's back.

[Lizzie]
Look at her. She's pathetic.

[Eddie] She hit Johnny
and fled the scene.

- She's gonna pay, Lizzie.
- [Jenn] What's gonna happen
to her, Eddie?

She'll go to jail
once she gets out of here.

- What's the matter, honey?
- That's awful.

I thought you'd feel better
knowing the person who hit
Johnny is in custody.

- No, I feel worse.
- Lizzie?

Dad, why did you bring me here?

I don't want to know
any of this!

Lizzie.

Lizzie, I know this is hard.

Mom, I just want to go home and
get in my bed and stay there.

Mrs. Hammond just called
from the cemetery.

There's something there
she wants you to see.

Look at the inscription.

- [Eddie] "Johnny nightingale.
Much loved."
- Where did it come from?

Nobody knows. It just appeared.

But it's truly a miracle.

Come on, Cassie. The clutch
then gas. Are you serious?

- Are you trying?
- You should have bought
an automatic.

I didn't get this
for your convenience.

What am I supposed to use
when we get married?

We're not getting married
'cause you chickened out asking.

- Watch out!
- [tires squealing]

- God!
- [squeals]

- You're hopeless.
- Maybe it's the teacher!

Just go.
Clutch!

Cass, try to hold two thoughts
in your head at once.

I hate you!

How's Lizzie doing now, Eddie?

Jenn says not good.

And you've talked to her.

I'm working.

I'm home after she goes to bed.

Asleep when she leaves
for school.

It's hard seeing our children
in such pain.

So hard. Sometimes
we can't bear to look.

So you're saying
I'm staying away on purpose.

I found that perp for Lizzie.

Lizzie didn't need
to see the poor soul
who took Johnny's life.

Eddie, she needs to see you.

- Mom told me you were here.
- Doing homework.

He always helped me
with my algebra.

I did some checking
on this headstone.

I used a few cop tricks
to find out who paid for it.

It was that rich guy
in mission vista south.

Harrison Devries.

That means he lied
about knowing Johnny.

- Come on. Let's go talk to him.
- He'll deny it.

Then what are we
supposed to do?

Ask the one other person
who knows the truth.

That's the necklace
from the photo.

Why didn't Johnny want me to
know about it or Mr. Devries?

Child, you don't want to know
the world we live in.

She just wants
to know the truth.

Well, the truth can be ugly.

But if you want it,
here it is.

You're gonna know it anyway.

Harrison devries
was Johnny's father.

Wait. But...

- But he's white.
- And rich.

I told Yvonne it wouldn't lead
to nothing but trouble.

But she just knew
Harrison loved her.

When Harrison found out
that Yvonne was pregnant,
he left her.

Predictable as
the morning sunlight.

Yvonne numbed herself
with drugs.

Harrison never even inquired.

But when Lizzie asked Johnny
to research the history

he found this photo
and recognized the necklace.

Harrison gave it to Yvonne
as a show of love.

Imagine that.

Did Johnny ever
meet his father?

A few weeks back he went over,
more than once,

but Harrison didn't
want to admit the truth.

Finally, he gave Johnny
a thousand dollars.

- Blood money.
- You could say that.

Johnny used the money
to get Yvonne into rehab.

Then Harrison started
sending me money.

You see him, you tell him
I don't want no more.

The only reason why I took it
in the first place
was because of Johnny.

Now that he's gone, it's pretty
much what you said. Blood money.

Pure and simple.

- Excuse me. Who let you in?
- The maid.

I'm Eddie Sutton.

You met Lizzie. We're here
to talk to you about your son,
Johnny nightingale.

Johnny came to see you
before he died, didn't he,
but you turned him away.

He had a farfetched notion

that you'll never prove
otherwise, not legally.

We don't have to prove it
legally. We just want you
to own up to it.

I know you cared about him.

I didn't even know him,
young lady.

- You bought him a headstone.
- I'll tell you something else,
devries.

You loved his mother.

She was my mother's maid.

She dusted the furniture.

You don't give a family heirloom
to just anybody.

You give it to somebody you
plan to marry. So what happened?

My inheritance happened.

If you'll excuse me.

Did you know that
Johnny loved computers?

He was a genius at it. Or
that he had a stamp collection?

Or that he had seen
Indiana Jones 15 times,

or that he could find the
northern star in the night sky?

You'd have been
so proud of him.

Mr. Devries, I loved Johnny.

And you need to love him, too.

I have a son.

And I owe him more
than I owe your friend.

How about some of my
delicious guacamole, Lizzie?

That's wonderful, Johnny.

Of course it is.
I made it.

I hope you made enough
for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

- For you, of course I did.
- Thank you.

[voices laughing]

[laughing continues]

Oh, my God! You, out!

Out!

- I'll call you later. Sorry.
- Out!

- I'm really sorry, mama Jenn.
- It's Mrs. Sutton.

Where's Naomi?

Um... She's at my dad's.

She called late and said
that she won't be back.

You had Danny marinero up here?

Naomi spent
the night at Kevin's,

and sage decided to have
her own little sleepover!

Oh.

Every time something
bad happens

you turn into
my little girl again.

Charles and I
had a bad fight.

Well, I told you, honey. Never
let a man teach you to drive.

It always ends like this.

This wasn't
about driving, mom.

It's about Charles
asking me to marry him.

I'm just not ready.

Well, then that's what
you have to tell Charles.

Be honest with him.

[bell ringing]

Why did you want to
see me in art class?

It's the first place
we ever saw each other.

Don't you remember?

So, did you bring the ring?

I brought one too.

God, you look beautiful.

Hold on.

I think we both know we're not
ready to commit to marriage.

We're way immature.

I can stop giving you
driving lessons.

That's only part of it.

I think I'm too young
to think about marriage.

But that doesn't mean I can't
pledge my eternal friendship.

I, Cassie Sutton,

pledge my eternal friendship
to Charles antoni.

I, Charles antoni...

...Pledge eternal friendship
to Cassie Sutton.

Does friendship exclude kissing?

Friendship doesn't
exclude anything.

So now you know
why Johnny lied to you.

He was protecting his father.

But Mr. Devries still won't
admit that Johnny's his son.

- I don't know what else to do.
- What would Johnny do?

Probably shrug it off.

You know, "hey, I found my dad.
That's a good thing."

- Johnny never gave up.
- Then follow his example.

Don't give up.
You'll get a sign.

I already did.
The headstone.

- For all the good it did.
- What about the dream?

- Johnny would be all over that.
- It was a crazy dream
about guacamole.

Lizzie, open your eyes.

You still have to complete
the most important part
of the journey.

The part that takes place
inside of you.

What does that mean?

I have faith.
It'll come to you.

But you have to have faith, too.

[keys rattling]

My dad's coming to pick me up.

What's this?

Um, from Naomi. She's gone.

"JENNIFER AND FAMILY:
Off to Amsterdam.

Thanks for everything.
Naomi."

That woman's got flair.

- Unbelievable.
- [knock on door]

Lizzie. Jenn.

- Sage.
- I'm sorry, dad. I really am.

- Please don't be angry.
- I'm not.

But I do think it's time that
we started being a family again.

- You OK with that?
- Yeah.

And, um, I'm sorry for
disrespecting you, Mrs. Sutton.

- After all you've done for me.
- Maybe it wasn't so much
disrespect,

as a way of asking your father
if you could come home.

- And it's mama Jenn, OK?
- OK.

- Thanks.
- Kevin, one more thing.

- Naomi's gone.
- I know.

She texted me.
Lots of x's and o's.

Hey, it was what it was.

She's a hell of a woman.

Let's go.

- Thanks.
- OK.

Goodbye.

[Lizzie]
Mom! Mom, come quick!

Lizzie?

It's a sign from Johnny.

It's a miracle.

Maybe so.

Look at that flower.
It's beautiful.

I'm gonna plant it
by Johnny's grave.

Invite everyone to come see.

Because it's gonna grow.

It's gonna grow flowers
and avocados...

...For years.

I'm glad you came,
miss nightingale.

Johnny's mother should be here.

My nephew
was a miracle.

Like all miracles,
he came from love.

A long time ago,
when young people knew
how to follow their hearts,

Johnny's parents
found one another,

and they made
a wonderful little boy.

Johnny never knew them.

Sometimes I would watch him,
and it would break my heart

because all he ever wanted
was a family.

However,
he was always happy

because he possessed,
within him,

the greatest part
of both of them.

His mother's love and tenderness
and compassion,

his father's strength
and optimism.

Johnny showed us that
love can conquer everything.

And, as long as this tree lives
that Lizzie planted...

...Johnny will
always be with us.

And so will all of his
hopes and his dreams

for a better world.

And I know that it's possible,
in God's good time.

[all] Amen.

[choir singing]

Mrs. Hammond?

I think I can hear
your choir.

That was
your brother.

And my son.

And his name was
Johnny nightingale.
