Southland Officer down! I'm in the freakin' bedroom! Come on! I'm in the bedroom! Come and get me! Come on, man.
This is a Is he wearing underwear? - Don't know.
- It's funny, right? Come on.
Just give the key.
Unlock me.
Unlock me! No, no, don't do that.
That's not right! Don't! Three officers started out the day thinking they had nothing in common.
By end of shift, two of them found out this was not true.
What happened to Dr.
Breslow? He retired rather suddenly, I'm afraid.
- Did he get shot? - What? Maybe a hostage situation or something.
How long you been doing this? This is my second day.
Your sec All right.
Well, you're doing good.
- Well, thank you very much.
- Sure.
What kind of practice did you have before this? Private.
The well-off worried.
Should their kids transfer from Crossroads to Harvard-Westlake? Someone got a better facelift than someone else.
That sort of thing.
I went to Harvard-Westlake.
I transferred out after a semester.
My father stopped paying the tuition.
- How'd you feel about that? - What? How did you feel about that? I was pretty confused at that point.
My father walked out on my mom and me.
We were living in this big house off of Sunset.
And I started going to public school.
Dr.
Breslow mentioned that there was a violent incident in your childhood.
Is that right? Would you mind my asking what happened? My father's a defense attorney.
One of his clients broke into our house.
My father had already split.
My mom and I were there.
Go on.
They beat her up.
You saw this? Yeah, I did.
How old were you? I was ten.
So you're ten years old, your father walks out on you, drug dealers beat up your Mom, and it's fine? And now I'm a cop.
Thank you, Dr.
Freud.
Says here that this is your last session.
How do you feel about the shooting? I'm okay with it.
I didn't enjoy it.
It was unavoidable.
Some guys, they work 20 years, they never have to shoot anybody.
It's just weird.
How much it means to guys like that.
I'm okay with it.
Good.
Good.
All right.
Well, I'm gonna go to work.
All right, well, I, I wish you luck.
Yeah, you too.
- So that wraps it up there, right? - Yup.
Being from Beverly Hills and all, you must have been in lots of therapy.
Yeah, it's definitely not my first time at the rodeo.
What about you? You ever been in therapy? When my marriage ended.
It was good.
Worked some things out.
Six Adam 43, see the man.
Possible stolen vehicle at 455 Tiffany Circle.
What the hell does that mean? Donte, Po-po's here.
Yeah.
All right.
Peace.
Sir, - your car was stolen? - Yeah.
Azure got jacked.
Playoffs coming up, dude.
I can't be in that kind of trouble.
Can you be more specific? Went out last night, hit some places, came home, some people came to chill, Bentley Azure got jacked.
So you want to file a police report for a stolen vehicle? You ever go for some strange? Excuse me? All right.
All right, come here.
Come here.
I'm married, all right? My wife is in St.
Barts with Donte Junior.
She has a Great Dane.
I don't give a shit about the car.
Insurance'll cover it, but you got to get me the dog back.
Now, she comes home tomorrow.
Got to get me the dog.
- I got some pictures of it somewhere.
- Sir, do you or do you not want to file a police report? I'm married, motherfucker! I can't be filing no report! So, women took the car? Yeah, women took the car! - And you don't want to file a report? - You ain't listening, bro! Protect and serve, motherfucker! You got something against me? I got rights.
Sir, you have to file a police report.
We're not private detectives.
All right.
All right.
All right.
I got a better idea.
I go with you.
We go looking around.
I got some ideas where the bitches are.
Wait here.
Let me change, all right? Ten, 15 minutes.
I can't even 15 Adam 85, a possible overdose at 3321 Mulholland.
Possible overdose now.
Two-seven-nine-one, RD-one-five-seven nine.
He said they'd been doing drugs, she started to choke.
I guess she was overdosing.
He said they'd been partying all night.
Anyway, she's choking, he panics, says he wanted to give her a tracheotomy.
I guess he missed.
So, I guess it's a suspicious death, right? It's not a suspicious death.
This isn't a frigging Agatha Christie novel.
There's accidental death, suicide, and homicide.
This is homicide.
He's going in for murder.
You should give him one of your dad's cards.
This guy he's gonna need a good lawyer.
Let's go.
Why are you arresting me? I tried to save her life! With a Bic pen? - I just got shot.
Where are we? - I don't know.
Every time I make a turn, you look up at the street sign.
All right, I got it.
This is it.
- Put it down right now! - Shoot her! I spent all weekend with this scumbag, and then he stops payment on the check? Ma'am, put the gun down right now! Put the gun down right now! Put the gun down! Please.
I'm sorry.
I'm begging you.
Get her! She's gonna kill me.
Sir, turn around, put your hands on the car, spread your legs.
- I got to search you.
- Wait a minute.
- That's Timmy freakin' Davis, man.
- I thought you retired.
Retired? Bitch filed for divorce.
She wants half my pension? Hell with that.
- Besides, I miss you guys.
- Arrest him! I spent three days with him, doing every single thing he wants, and he bounces my check? It was a misunderstanding.
My account wasn't full.
- I'm a big fan.
I love your movies.
- Really? - I loved Bodybag.
- You should.
Bodybag II's coming out in the fall.
It's a bomb.
Sweet.
You got to go down to the station, talk this over with the detectives.
- I'm shooting a movie right now.
- I understand that.
- We can smooth this out.
- Smooth it out? What are you? Maybe you should retire.
She's pointing a loaded gun at him.
This is ADW, okay? She's going to jail.
Look, look.
Come on, guys.
I'll just write her another check.
No big deal.
How about we clear it up with the detectives down at the station? Or we can do that.
I got him.
You go with her, okay? Give me the weapon.
Come on, let's go.
Officer, Dudeck is it? Okay.
- Bring him in, Dewey.
- All right.
You start taking witness statements.
I'll get your cuffs back to you.
You're booking him for murder? - Yes, we are.
- This isn't a murder! I didn't murder anyone! When the coroner's report comes back, we'll see.
But right now, it's 187 PC.
You're bailing him out anyway, so what's the difference? Victim's sister is here.
He was trying to help her.
He should get an award for this.
Right.
You get awards for saving lives, not taking them.
Ms.
Campbell? Why don't you have a seat? Just tell me.
She's dead, right? Yes.
I'm very sorry.
She OD'd, right? Well, we're not exactly sure.
- What the hell does that mean? - She was doing some drugs.
She passed out, and the man who she was with tried to do a tracheotomy on her.
And he he cut her carotid artery, and she bled to death.
There was no reason for him to leave the set in the first place.
I understand.
We're working on it.
All right? Good luck.
Good luck on the movie.
- Is that the director? - Yeah.
Dude! Hold on, baby.
What's up? Guess what.
I did hire your dad, and I hooked up with your sister again.
We're all going out tonight.
You want to cruise? Baby, yeah.
Guess who I'm standing here with? Yeah.
It's for you.
Hey, Olivia.
Want to search my trailer? Yeah, I'll call you later.
So you coming out tonight or what? Yeah, baby, isn't that crazy? I know.
You think you are the only ones who work? Keep me waiting for an hour? Okay, so let me get this straight.
Therapy in the morning, a little chitchat on the phone.
- You want to go to Spago for lunch? - I hate that place.
Guys are too old.
Shut up! What the hell are you doing? People become cops for two reasons.
They need the paycheck or they like to carry a big gun and tell people what to do.
All right, now you you surely don't need the money.
I don't think you're a freak.
So what the hell are you doing here? - I'm a cop, same as you're a cop.
- Bullshit, Richie Rich.
When I joined, this was the only job I could get making 30 thou a year.
It's better than digging ditches.
I left my wallet in my trailer, bro.
Be cool, man.
That's embarrassing.
Give me a C-note.
Come on.
Let's go.
Let's go, come on.
Wait.
You're gonna drive.
We're gonna have a cigar.
Dewey, are you kidding me? You can't smoke in there.
Who cares? Lighten up a little bit.
Yeah, lighten up, sweetheart? Have some fun.
What do you think about acting? You know like in the movies like me.
That works for you? - Women actually go for that? - Women go for anything I do.
Women go for it.
She's a drag.
All units, a 211 in progress at 402 Genessee.
Two male Caucasians wearing dark clothing.
Light 'em up! Hold on, darlin'.
Officer needs assistance, on Genessee between the businesses.
Down! Face dow at your side! Now! Down! Spread 'em! at the rear of 1321/2 Genessee.
Copy that.
That's right.
These the guys that beat you? - No, that's not them.
- Of course that's them.
- I saw them beating her! - Ma'am, step inside, please.
Put 'em in the tank.
Look I know what's going on here.
These guys are hassling you every week, right? You don't have to pay these people.
Is it just these two or are there more? Could you get my wig, please? We're the police.
We will protect you.
You seem like a lovely gentleman, but who the hell do you think you're kiddin'? Tell Dewey to take our suspect back with him.
I'm going to stay here, see if she'll change her mind.
Bentley and a Great Dane.
Want me to call in? So, anyway, I got this blond.
I got her bent over a sofa, right.
But I'm inebriated, right.
I'm intoxicated.
And I pass out on top of her and I'm smoking cigar We're gonna hand you over our suspect.
We gotta stay here and deal with this.
- Was Dewey in the back seat with him? - Don't ask.
Ma'am, we're gonna transfer you over now.
I had a Bentley once.
For a week.
Come on! You can't park there! - Okay, ma'am, out of the car, please.
- I'd rather stay with you.
Now, please.
Dewey, where is he? Who? I don't know, he must have escaped.
You're such an asshole.
Watch your head.
I'm sorry.
Man, I don't want to lose that.
- You feel bad about what you told her? - What? - "We're the police, we'll protect you"? - Yeah.
No.
You don't lie to 'em like that, nobody ever gets put away.
But we can't protect them.
Those guys are just gonna come back.
Or two more just like 'em.
It is what it is.
This domestic we're going to? They're tricky.
Gotta be on your guard.
You get there and she's screaming at you to lock up the asshole that just beat her up, you go to put the cuffs on him, next thing you know, she jumps on you, trying to rake your eyes out - locking up her beloved.
- Yeah, I got it.
Mommy and Daddy didn't get along? - A little trouble in Beverly Hills? - What's your problem? Well, you never said why you learned to shoot.
You said where, but you never said why.
- I wanted to learn.
- Yeah.
Nobody shoots like you didn't spend a lot of time doing it.
Just doesn't equate, Bijan.
How'd you learn? My dad taught me.
In between stints in prison.
- Why don't you try? - Be a man! - Open your ears - Be a man! - Get a job! - and shut your mouth! I should fucking punch you in your mouth! This asshole has been hitting me again! I been screaming all fucking day! Stop! Shut up right now! Shut up! - Where're the kids? - In school.
- Where you think they are? - You know what? - Bitch! - I'm sick of this.
I'm not coming back here anymore.
Put your hands on my badge.
- What for? - I'm giving you a divorce.
Man, you trippin'.
You can't do that.
Sure I can.
Put your hand on my badge.
- Right hand.
- Get Don't! - Get off! - I said don't touch me! Put your goddamn hands on You watch it! Don't touch me! Get off me! You watching this? Alright, now! You wanna do this? Do you wanna do this? Please! Please, whatcha gonna do? You got a choice right now.
You put your hand on my badge and we take care of this.
Now.
Right hand.
By the power vested in me by the state of California, I now pronounce you divorced.
Now, pack your bag and get the fuck out of here.
Go! You heard him! Get out! Why don't you get off your ass sometimes? Get out! Get your ass off the couch sometime, will you? He ain't even got no car! Walk! Walk! - Broke ass! - I'll be back for your ass! - Shut up! - That's for damn sure! - You better believe it, alright? - You heard him, right? Yeah, I did.
Okay, no, I gotta call you back.
Why the hell you wearing a puss? You had a good day.
You made a bust, pulled a gun off the street.
Dewey, you let him go.
That's gonna come back to haunt us.
We needed his statement.
Why you gotta make such a big deal out of everything? You gotta be kidding me.
I put my ass on the line for you.
I gave you another shot when no one else would work with you.
No one! And now I'm gonna get in trouble for this? For that asshole? So you can impress him with what a big man you are? You know what, Dewey? I actually care about my job.
If this is the way you do police work, I want a new partner.
You on the rag? The shift is freaking over, man.
Relax.
She, acted a little bit.
Barry was a producer.
She tried to write.
I'm a writer.
Yeah? What do you write? I just published my second novel.
That's tremendous.
Don't tell me you want to write? Busted.
I would think that the things that you witness would be very interesting.
And heartbreaking.
- Have you tried? - Yeah.
Yeah, I have.
Short stories.
Very short.
I teach a class.
You should come.
I'm a really good teacher.
- Yeah.
- It would light a fire under your ass.
You actually produce for my class or I throw your ass out.
No excuses.
We need to go do that interview.
This is Keren Campbell.
- I'm sorry for your loss.
- Thank you.
So where do you live now? In Los Feliz.
Sweet! - You all right? You all right? - Of course I'm all right.
Thanks, bro.
Grab the tomatillo sauce.
You know, if the kids were there, I would've handled that differently.
The only way it ends is if one of them leaves.
They never do.
Either that or one of them kills the other one.
Round and round.
It never ends.
So fucking sick of it.
Your dad ever hit your mom? Have to call the West Latte police station, - have them come on over? - What is it with you? Enough.
Tomatillo sauce.
Can I get some napkins? This thing's a class three! - How'd you get a permit for this? - I didn't.

- Rambo! I know.

I want less ways for people to reach me, not more.
- The lone wolf.
- That's right, hombre.
- Got yourself a hot date? - Yeah, it's my half sister.
Don't you Beverly Hills folks date your sisters? There's nothing wrong with that, right? Pull it over! It's all good, it's all good.

He gave it to me.
It's a present.
What's the dog's name? - I do not remember.

I just died! I'm on this domestic call, right? Husband and wife.
The chick's been beat down, man, two black eyes, she's crying.
I'm feeling bad, what do you say to a woman who's got 2 black eyes? - What? - Nothing! You done told that bitch twice! - What? - There're girls here, be cool.
- You don't like it? - No.
- I'm an actor.
- Know your audience.
I need some new material, could you help me? You do, but you can't have her.
You know, I always knew, one way or another, that this guy would do her in.
You know, I'd send her to Hazeldon, she would stay straight for a few months and then Barry would call and he would say that he'd straightened out, that they needed each other.
And she would go back to him.
Every time.
Why do women do that? Why do they go back to the men that hurt them? I don't know.
It's a terrible disease.
No.
You know what? Screw that.
