Boy Wonder
Who wrote that one?
Bach...
Johann Sebastian Bach.
I think that's the best.
I don't know if there is a best.
Music is subjective.
It's different for everyone.
When I hear Mozart,
I feel... out of breath.
Dizzy...
overwhelmed.
When I hear Bach...
that's more like a good
movie for me.
What about you? What do
you feel when you hear Bach?
Oh, sh*t!
Dad!
Get out of my f***ing...
- No!
- Mom! Sh*t!
- No!
- Mom!
Sh*t!
Hey.
Guys, settle down.
Today we'll be
reviewing your tests.
And hopefully
I can figure out...
why the majority of you
failed so miserably.
- Good work, Sean.
- Thank you.
Sean. Sean.
You got a pen I can borrow?
Yeah.
What's with that?
You don't even have Chemistry.
Um, I just like
to read, I guess.
Hey, Jodie Freedman's having
a party at her house tomorrow.
- Oh, yeah?
- Yeah, you should go.
- Are you going?
- Yeah, I'm going.
You should go, man. Get your
head out of those books for a while.
Yeah, maybe.
You judging me?
Hot chocolate? Huh?
Good morning.
Hey, how'd you do
on that test?
I did okay.
Yeah?
Uh, what does
that mean, okay?
I got a hundred.
Well, that's great.
Better than okay.
Listen, Sean,
I was thinking of, uh,
going up and visiting your
mother tonight after work.
Um, thought maybe
you'd like to come along.
I can't. Um...
I'm going to
this party tonight...
with... with my friend.
I'm gonna spend the night
at his house.
If that's...
If that's fine.
Yeah.
That's...That's fine.
Uh, who's the friend?
Um, this kid Steve.
I go to school with him.
I don't think you know him.
Yea. Well, that's...
that's fine. That's, uh...
Well, good.
Sorry I haven't been
up here in a while.
Hah.
I've been busy.
Um, no excuse.
Hey, you know I finally got
that leak in my room fixed?
It was...It was the shingles
up on the roof just like I thought.
Had to go up there, rip the whole thing out,
start all over again.
You know
how I hate that sh*t.
in the old apartment.
Sean says hi.
He wanted to
come out but he...
There's some big party and...
I told him to
go be a teenager.
Yeah.
He's doing good.
He's doing good.
He's got friends now and...
All right. I mean, one that I am
currently aware of.
But, uh...
Going off to college
next year.
Can you believe that?
You know, for a while I was
But he's going to be okay.
He's strong.
He's strong like his mother.
I wish I was that strong.
Do you like
your surprise?
It's awesome.
I have another surprise
after this.
Thanks so much, Linda.
That was amazing. For both of us.
It's great to have you.
What did you think of the music, Sean?
- It was cool.
- It was pretty cool, wasn't it?
What happened to your face?
- I fell.
- Yeah, he fell off his bike.
You have to be more
careful next time, okay?
Okay.
- Fragile things, kids.
- Yes, well, thanks again, Linda.
I'll see you at work.
Yo, Anna, what's up, man?
You got my f***ing money or what?
No, Tony I got screwed
up this week.
Kiana had to go to the doctor, and someone
broke into the mailbox and took my check.
Look at me.
Look at me.
Are you saying you don't
owe me any f***ing money?
Is that what
you're saying, huh?
I'm just saying
maybe, maybe...
Maybe we figure something out.
You know?
- Hey, Stretch.
- Yo.
- Hook her up.
- Come here, baby.
Come on, Kiana.
Ben.
Hold that down,

Just make sure you come
correct next time, all right?
Thanks so much.
If you need anything, you know...
Cool. You're good.
You're good.
- Kiana, come on.

Huh?

You got some money for me?
Speak up, motherf***er!
F***ing deaf, huh?
You hear me talking
to you, man?
You don't hear 'em
talking to you?
You killed that...
You killed that kid.
- What the f*** is he talking about, man?
- What did you just say?
Motherf***er!
F***ing deaf motherf***er!
Huh?
What the f***, huh?
- F***, man.

Sh*t!
I know I'm supposed
to be there, Richard.
I forgot. I'm sorry.
I promise I'll pick him up as soon
as I get out of work tonight.
Okay, I promise!
Yeah. Well, tell Lisa if she hadn't
slept with my husband behind my back,
maybe she wouldn't have all
this unfairness to deal with.
I'm gonna pick him up.
No, I can't just leave. You know
everything I have going on with work.
No, Richard.
No more lawyers.
No. Don't even think
about doing that.
No, you know what it is, Richard?
You're a dick! That's what it is.
What are you looking at?
Detective Ames,
can I talk to you a minute?
Congratulations on
your, uh, promotion.
What can I do for you, Larry?
I've been feeling really bad
how all this went down.
Really?
Yeah, I do.
I was thinking that...
when all this is over,
maybe... me and you should
go somewhere together.
Have a little picnic maybe.
The three of us.
Who? Me, you
and your cell mate?
I was thinking more like,
me, you and your son, Tyler.
I hear he looks just like you.
I can't wait to meet him.
I got bad news for you, Larry.
You're not going anywhere
for a long time.
Do you know where
Where?
He's sitting with the D.A.
This is never going to stick.
Never.
- You know what's the first thing I'm gonna do
when I get out? - What? What are you gonna do?
I'm gonna come see you...
and that f***ing kid.
All rise.
You may now be seated.
On the request of
the prosecution,
this hearing will be postponed until
July 31 of this year.
See you all then.
You're a crazy kid.
You know that, right?
Crazy.
In his prime...
Tyson would've killed Ali.
Tyson wouldn't have
lasted five rounds. You're crazy.
So I did a little reading on you
this morning. Impressive career.
Anticrime Unit, Narcotics.
Let's not forget the Delany case.
That was a big one.
Now here you are
working Homicide.
It's an amazing career for a man,
but it's spectacular for a woman.
You should be proud of yourself.
- What does that mean,
Detective? - What?
I made it to Homicide?
Or I should be proud because I'm a Latina
woman who made it to Homicide?
Well, first of all, we can
drop the detective thing.
- It's Gary.
- Okay. Gary.
I'm just saying that you
