Southland s04e02 Episode Script
Underwater
[ Dramatic music plays .]
It's a shame to break this up.
I feel like the father in "Footloose.
" The remake or the original? How old are you, man? Sorry, but you guys have all got to go! The owner doesn't want you here! The owner wants you gone.
I want you gone.
Let's go.
Dude, we was just dancing.
Oh, well, you know, honey, dance your ass back home.
It's time to clear out, okay? Come on.
Clear out.
Everybody out.
Out.
Let's go.
Are you gonna make us go away? Hey.
We ain't doing nothing.
Get out of my face.
I'm gonna have to arrest you.
Let's go.
Hey, hey, whoa! For doing what? You can't put your hands on a cop.
Your parents are gonna have to bail you out of jail.
Get your hands off of her! Get off! No! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! - I'm not! Come on! Let us just dance! - Partner! Get back.
Get back.
We ain't even doing nothing.
Miss.
Miss.
Hey! Whoa! Whoa! Yeah! What are you gonna do? Back up! Get back! Whoa! Cops routinely find themselves underwater.
The best manage to keep but even for a strong swimmer like Officer Ben Sherman, the undertow can be tricky.
So, it's like this every weekend? Pretty much.
The man's still holding on to that Silver Lake shit, Sammy.
You need to school him.
Man likes living in a shoe box.
What can I tell you? Hey, I live 15 minutes from the division.
You guys live two hours.
I don't need to live in castaic copland for personal validation.
Cops need the long drive to decompress.
Come home to a house, yard, dog, a houseboat.
A life.
Yeah.
I got better ways of decompressing.
Hi.
Hey.
Mmm-mmm! Officer, I'm in need of some assistance.
Oh, show me handling.
God, I hope so.
See, now, the average brother would settle for some "Ugly Betty" type chick.
White boys go Beyoncé all the way.
Oh! Spike Lee had it right, man.
Hey, how's it going? Porosus crocodile bag.
It's worth like $50,000.
For a purse? Yeah.
Come on.
My sister would give her left arm for that bag.
Looks like somebody already did.
No body.
Maybe she made it to the hospital.
Mnh-mnh.
See -- no skid marks.
Whoever hit this lady, they didn't even stop.
You did call traffic about the stoplight cameras, right? Yes.
What's new in the zoo? Two guys from that bar said they saw a silver S.
U.
V.
speeding down the block.
Another said it was a suburban, and some other guy said it was a Ford Escape, no plates.
That's a nice bag.
You guys take a look? I felt with such a distinguished accessory, it required a more delicate touch.
'Course you thought that.
Mrs.
Meredith Williams.
Address is off Sunset.
Probably Bel Air.
Can you guys handle the notification? 'Cause this scavenger hunt for body parts is gonna take a while.
Yeah.
Sure.
I'm old-school all the way.
Don't start none.
Won't be none.
You have a question, Anawalt? Why are you handing out McDonald's applications? Every time you up, you're gonna fill out another line.
As your new Captain, let me make it clear -- wipe your feet before you step in my house.
We're gonna send the street a message.
Drop the lattes and get your narrow behinds out of your patrol cars.
Walk the courtyards, the alleys, the streets.
Squeeze your snitches.
You want omelettes, you got to crack eggs.
We will be the most proactive patrol in the entire city.
We protect.
We serve.
And we kick ass till we smell shit.
If anybody has a problem with that, Mickey D's needs all the help they can get.
The McRib is back.
Hello.
Hi, sweetie.
Is your mother home? Who are you? I need to speak with your mother.
Mom! Honey, what did I tell you about answering the door when I'm not around, all right? May I help you? Yeah.
I'm Detective Adams.
This is my partner, Detective Robinson.
Do you have a silver Ford Escape? Uh, yeah.
Ugh.
We were gonna lose the house.
I just got a job, so I drank with a few of my buddies.
I thought I hit a coyote.
You ripped a woman in half, Mr.
Davis.
Congratulations on his new job making license plates.
Ooh, that's harsh.
They're gonna be scraping chunks of Ms.
Williams out from under that car for hours.
We should make him help.
You know anything about this new Captain? Rucker was my sarge when I worked crash.
Yeah? Good guy? He's an O.
G.
with stripes on his arm and the attitude to match.
Our job just got harder.
Hey, Jones.
Rookie blue looks nervous.
Oh, skip it, Sherman.
I'm a P2, just like you.
Oh, I seriously doubt that.
Where did you do your probation? Pacific Palisades? Hey, look sharp.
Act sharp.
Be sharp.
And, uh, try not to get us killed.
Hey, wouldn't it be easier to just ask her for her phone number? Not nearly as much fun.
$10 million house to go with the $50,000 handbag.
That much? In this zip code? Hell, yes.
Mary Pickford used to live here.
Who's that? Are you serious? What, is she an ex-girlfriend of yours or something? Señora.
Señor.
Hello, sir.
I'm Officer Jessica Tang.
Is the owner of the house available? Oh, I am sorry.
Mrs.
Williams is not home.
It's okay, José.
I got this.
Mr.
Williams? Yes.
Is this about the marijuana? 'Cause I have a card.
Uh, no, sir.
It's about your wife.
She's with her boyfriend.
She won't be home till tonight.
There was an accident.
We're still investigating the circumstances.
We believe your wife was hit by a car and killed.
Do you need to sit down, sir? She's dead? Yes.
I'm sorry.
She's -- she's dead.
La bruja está muerta.
Oh, my God.
La bruja está muerta! "Bruja es m-muerta"? "The witch is dead.
" Ding dong, this is some strange shit right here.
- Against the wall, Sheryl.
- I'm Crystal now.
She got a pipe stashed somewhere.
It's an easy felony.
One good hooker's worth 10 C.
I.
s.
I say we flip her.
She's a kid.
A little jail time, she might go straight.
Let somebody else play captain save-a-hoe.
The pipe gives us leverage.
I say we use it.
All right.
Hey, Crystal.
Give us the purse.
Come on.
Look at this.
Give me one good reason why I shouldn't take you to jail.
'Cause Ronnie will beat my ass.
You don't think I can see him parked over there in that car? You going to jail with his money.
Start talking.
Day Day got a stash house.
Two Trey Day Day Crawford? Yeah.
Over by his spot on Denker.
Thank you.
Have a nice day.
So, how long you been a cop? Married? Kids? Divorced? Your feigned interest in my personal life is gonna have no bearing on how I evaluate your street readiness, okay? That's got to be the nicest way anyone has ever told me to shut up.
So, never married? Okay, then.
Shut up.
Ooh, check this guy out.
Full moon in broad daylight.
Sir? Hey.
Hey, how's it hanging, brother? Oh, rough morning.
Yeah.
I'm a little underwater.
Uh, you know you forgot your clothes, right? I just needed a run, you know? Okay.
Well, you can't run on city streets, but take the on-ramp.
Freeways are okay.
Oh.
Great.
Thanks.
Call CHP.
He's their problem now.
Hungry? So, no money was taken? No.
Guy came in with a ski mask.
He went to the magazine rack and shot him.
Hmm.
He ran off? No, no.
He stayed calm.
He walked out, but he had a little bit of a limp.
Did you know the victim? Every day, he reads Variety.
He never pays.
All he talks about is auditions, jobs, acting.
I don't know.
Look, let me ask you -- how long till my store is open? It's gonna be a few hours, okay? Hold tight.
Probably another broke actor.
What did they say when you called his I.
D.
in? Harold Mack Logan.
Multiple parolee.
This cat's rap sheet is thicker than a pocket Bible.
You see that? The marks around the edges? Mm-hmm.
Hey.
Off the phone.
What? What? You mopped up the floor? Well, I mean, do you know how hard it is to get blood out of tile once it soaks in? Are you guys going to pay for my floor? And to think I was gonna buy a slushie from you.
You're stupid.
I like Torii Hunter.
My man Jamarcus will smoke his ass.
That jersey is cursed.
No way.
How can you sit so comfortably with balls that big? I got your $20 right here.
Ben, you in? I'm out.
Anawalt? Shouldn't we be focused on what we're gonna do? We are.
We're here to protect and serve.
And kick ass.
- Come on, Torii Hunter.
- Let's see what you got.
Hey, fellas, what's going on? Five-o! Five-o! Five-o! No, no, no! Come on, Torii Hunter.
Hey! Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Stop, stop, stop, stop.
Down! Get down! - On the ground! - On the ground! Hands out.
Out.
Come on, Torii Hunter.
Jamarcus is coming for that ass! Just win, baby! Just win! Hey, I'm having a bad day.
I'm gonna keep that $20.
Take it easy.
How's everybody doing today? Get up.
Your boy can't run for shit, man.
All right.
Let's go.
How many we got? Huh? How many we got? - Four.
- Stay right here.
Right here.
Four.
The did you learn how to count? I count three.
I got one.
Anawalt, you had two.
Where's your other one? Yeah, I got -- did we lose somebody? Um The last guy you got, when you arrested him, are you sure you heard the cuffs click? Um, I We lost somebody? I I mean, he had to have gone that way.
Let's smoke him out.
- All right.
- Let's go.
Here.
He had to -- oh, shit.
So, what does our victim's rap sheet tell us about him? Despite 12 drug busts, Logan's never done more than a two-year stretch.
Mandatory sentencing should have had this cat away for decades longer.
He's a snitch.
Snitch.
So, what are you thinking? Somebody he snitched on popped him? It's a good place to start.
I mean, all those arrests, he's got lots of enemies.
Thank you.
Logan is not in our database as a paid C.
I.
Well, let's think outside the box.
What tools would you have used when you were on the robbery table? Google.
Come on.
If it were that easy, anybody could work homicide.
If it were that hard, do you think a jarhead like you could do it? Darrell Miller.
Mm-hmm.
Always maintained his innocence.
What else is new? Uh, convicted on the testimony of a jailhouse snitch.
It's our guy, Mack Logan.
Mm-hmm.
And Miller was freed when they finally bothered to do a DNA test on old evidence.
Released eight months ago.
"My Lord and savior, Jesus Christ.
I hold no grudges.
" We'll see about that.
Why you being so hard on Anawalt? Huh? Never lost a suspect before? Plead the fifth.
Mm.
Remember, for your next job, the regular McNugget meal comes with six nuggets, not four, plus fries and a drink.
Is that yours? Yeah.
Let me see it.
Is this ghetto cinderella? Anawalt matches her shoe, finds a prince? Kiss my ass, Sherman.
Ooh, language.
The cherub has tender ears.
No way somebody leaves behind a brand-new, customized tennis shoe unless they on the run.
See the initials on the back? What's that stand for? "Asshole running"? "Anawalt's regret"? You know who's wearing the other sneaker? I ain't no snitch.
What if I buy you a happy meal and let you play with the siren in the patrol car? Follow me.
Give me my shoe.
Get out of here.
Police officers! How y'all doing? I'm sorry to bother you, ma'am.
Does this shoe look familiar? No.
Clear in here.
He's running! What the hell, you damn asshole? Hit me with a baseball bat? You could have killed me! - Ben, I got it.
- Hell you thinking about, man? Huh? Come on.
Is he your son? No.
Is he your brother? Your cousin? Your nephew? I don't know him.
You don't know him? And you let him hide in your house? He's more my people than you.
Let's go.
Come on.
You see if we ever respond to a call from this house again.
Nobody asked you to come over here.
Nobody a-- we're over here every day, lady! Get the hell off my property! I don't care! - Every day, we're in this neighborhood! - Hey, hey, hey! - Every day we're here! - Oh, hell, no! What the you talking about?! We're here! Sherman, let's go.
You got somebody you want me to call, honey? No, ma'am.
Thank you.
Oh, you're polite now, huh?! - Come on, Sherman.
- Let's go.
You ever gonna let me drive? No.
What about after evaluation? How'd you hurt your back? Oh, I see.
Anything I ask you, I get stonewalled.
But I'm supposed to be an open book.
I'm the one in the driver's seat.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Holy shit.
Oh, my God! Request an R.
A.
Unit, our location, North Cahuenga.
Send an R.
A.
Unit, our location, Show us code six at 1643 north cahuenga.
You got a blanket in the trunk? I love Baldwin Hills.
Yeah.
Just 'cause it's South L.
A.
doesn't mean it has to be run-down, right? Uh-huh.
May I help you, detectives? You Darrell D.
Miller? Yep.
You know this man? Mack Logan? Yeah.
Lied on me and robbed me of two decades of sunshine.
What did he do now? Was shot at point-blank range not even 10 minutes from here.
You know, L.
A.
's a dangerous place.
Where were you this morning? I was helping my grandmother with her pill regimen.
She's 93.
I take care of her now.
Okay.
And she'll vouch for you on that? You know, I hated that fool.
That ain't no secret.
Mack said I confessed up at county to raping some white woman I hadn't even met just so he could go home three years early.
My mother died thinking I was a rapist.
If not for that DNA stuff, I'd still be doing time for him right now.
Darrell? Why don't you offer your friends some lemonade? That's okay, gran-gran.
They was just leaving.
Hey, in case you think of something else.
Thanks.
I don't know.
Saw that limp? Mm-hmm.
Just like in the video.
You think gran-gran will change her story when he leaves, let us have a look inside? Hope so.
"He's more my people than you.
" She's right.
They don't want us there.
I don't want to be there.
Another second, a few inches lower, I'd be dead right now.
When I was younger, that's all the L.
A.
P.
D.
did was constantly kick our asses.
That's where I remember Rucker -- the neighborhood.
So, why become a cop? There was a S.
W.
A.
T.
officer came and spoke to our school.
Randy Simmons.
Something about the way dude carried himself stuck with me.
What about you? My Uncle was a cop.
My friends and I were stoned.
I signed up as a goof.
Seemed like a good idea at the time.
I wanted to make a difference.
Another ghetto tourist.
It was either this or teach for America.
And have you changed anybody's life? You know, it's funny.
I used to -- I used to think about how these kids grew up.
No parents, drug abuse, hungry.
And now? I ain't a social worker.
When did Captain save-a-hoe become a libertarian? I guess that bit with the bat changed my mind.
Well, you may become a decent cop yet, Sherman.
Oh, thank you very much, Bryant.
He's very charitable this morning.
Any available unit, neighbor dispute at 2233 83rd Street.
Handling unit, identify.
Show us handling.
Do you want this? I don't want this.
Ugh.
Come on, now.
Let's let him get a little further down the block.
What do we say to the old lady when we get there? We just introduce ourselves.
Yeah, let's go.
I'm sorry, Mrs.
Miller, to bother you again.
Um, I'm Detective Lydia Adams.
Brenda! How you doing, girl? Hey! How you doing? Just came by to check on you.
Darrell went to the store.
Oh.
You know, I always liked you.
I said had Darrell married you, none of that other mess would have happened.
You remember Ruben, right? Yeah.
He got tall.
Hi.
How you doing? Um, Darrell borrowed Ruben's Ice Cube T-shirt A while ago, and he wants it back.
Do you mind if we check his room? Oh, baby, you ain't gonna find nothing back there.
Just as messy as always.
I'm still doing his laundry.
Do you mind if we check the laundry room? Go right ahead.
Laundry room is by the kitchen.
Oh, okay.
Thank you.
Y'all want some lemonade? Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
Sure.
Baby, what did you say your name was, again? Detective Lydia Adams.
Okay, Brenda.
I'll get that lemonade before my stories come back on.
Okay.
Are you sure we can do this? Darrell can't have it both ways.
If granny is competent enough to be his alibi, she's competent enough to give us consent.
Hey.
Hey, man.
Um, right back here.
All right, so dude's back here in the booth, right? Just about the time things are getting enjoyable, boom! Up in smoke.
Up in smoke is right.
His clothes smelled like meth.
He's probably loaded with flammable chemicals.
Wonder what he was watching.
That shit must have got hot, right? Hey, man.
What are you guys into? Huh? Come on.
You can tell me.
Least I can ask now that chickie's in Metro, right? We're citizens.
Come on, now.
What are you into, girl? Like, me, I like the large ladies.
Sofa-sized, man.
.
The B.
B.
W.
s The what? B.
B.
W.
S, man.
Big, beautiful women.
I'm gonna wait outside.
More ounce to the bounce.
Give me them tig old bitties.
I swear to God, man, fat chicks are awesome.
Kind of like riding a moped.
Moped.
Yeah.
It's fun as hell till someone catches you on one.
Right? What's going on, Paolo? I'll tell you what -- that old bitch is off her meds again.
Excuse me, ma'am? Her cats always get out, comes over to our yard, craps in our sandbox like it's a litter box.
My 4-year-old don't know no better.
Comes home every day covered in cat shit.
Have you filed a complaint, ma'am? Yes.
Numerous times.
But today, I went over there to talk to her, and she shot at me! What? I heard a gunshot.
You saw a gun? No.
I heard a gunshot.
That old bitch fired at me.
That's why I called y'all.
Did you check this out, Paolo? No.
Got here two minutes before you did.
It's just an old lady.
Yeah.
Thank you, ma'am.
We'll be in touch if we need anything else.
Can you see? Ma'am, it's the police.
Gun! Gun! - 836.
- Shots fired at our location.
Requesting additional units.
What's happened? She has a gun.
Saw it from the reflection in the window.
Now she's barricaded.
Did anybody call S.
W.
A.
T.
? No.
That request has to come direct from Captain Rucker.
What? What's so funny, man? Well, you can't hear the theme music? Here comes Shaft.
No mask, no weapon.
Well, if the blood on the sneakers matches Logan's or the clothes test positive with gunshot residue, we've got enough P.
C.
for an arrest.
What's bothering you? Homicide is just different than I thought it was gonna be.
Yeah? Yeah.
All the lying, word games.
If Darrell killed Mack Logan, don't you think he had it coming? Who the hell knows what Darrell went through in prison? Yeah, but that's not Darrell's choice to make.
Jesus.
Check this out.
Sir, you might want to take cover.
You pulled me out of a city council banquet for this? She's not coming out, sir.
We approached the front door.
She fired at us.
We need S.
W.
A.
T.
I got your S.
W.
A.
T.
right here.
I'm not calling Metro for some little old lady.
- Anawalt! - Yes, sir.
You have her on the phone? Yeah.
We routed all outgoing calls to my cellphone.
Who's she calling for? Pastors.
She didn't realize she was talking to me every time she called.
She also wants food for her cat.
Sherman.
Sir? Black case in my trunk, please.
Yes, sir.
It sounded like a very big gun.
Yes, I'm sure.
And -- and she fired at us.
Yes.
Yes, yes, yes.
Thank you, Bryant.
Blessed is she Whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered! Blessed is the woman to whom the Lord does not impute iniquity and in whose spirit there is no deceit! Come any closer, I'll shoot.
What are you doing? Sherman! Sir, just give me a second.
Hey, come here.
Come here.
Ma'am! Ma'am, we have your cat.
We have her out right here.
If you don't come out in the next 20 seconds, we're gonna have to -- we're gonna have to call the pound.
You're never gonna see her again.
Put down the gun, ma'am.
Ma'am, put down the gun, and I'll give her back to you.
What's the cat's -- Don't hurt her.
Okay.
What's the cat's name? Spooky.
Spooky.
Okay.
I'll -- there you go.
Spooky.
Spooky.
Okay.
Gun! Kevlar.
Damn.
The bit with the cat was smart.
Thanks, man.
Always got to think on your feet.
She was ready to go to war.
Get her up.
Granbo ain't no joke.
I cannot believe the blood matched the sneakers.
Now, guilt never surprises me.
Only innocence does.
You guys, go around the back.
We'll take the front.
- Oh, no.
- Mother Aah! Ho! Whoa.
Huh? Huh? Come on.
Easy.
I could have shot you already.
What you waiting for? Yeah, you did it.
Call said it was around here somewhere.
Well, at 6'6", he's not gonna be hard to miss.
I hate your friend.
Dewey is an acquired taste.
What a dick.
He's a hell of a cop.
At least, he used to be.
You know what they're calling us now, right? The Walking Dead.
Yeah.
You think that's funny? Very sexy.
I kind of stopped caring what people think after I told my parents I was gonna be a cop.
When did you first know you wanted to be a cop? Oh! Ain't going back to jail! All right.
Back up.
Step on over there, sir.
Rucker could have got a lot of people hurt today.
But he didn't.
He's proactive.
He took charge.
He made shit happen.
He bean-bagged an old lady.
No, he bean-bagged an armed suspect.
I didn't even see her second gun.
She's not dead.
None of our guys got hurt.
It's a good day.
Jones with the nicknames.
Now she's "Granbo" forever.
Deploying taser! That all you got?! God, he's tight.
Double-cuff him.
There we go.
You all right? Piece of shit.
Oh.
It's a shame to break this up.
Sorry, but you guys have all got to go! The owner doesn't want you here! The owner wants you gone.
I want you gone.
Let's go.
- Come on.
Clear out.
- Everybody out.
Out.
Let's go.
Are you gonna make us go away? Hey.
We ain't doing nothing.
Get out of my face.
I'm gonna have to arrest you.
Let's go.
Hey, hey, whoa! For doing what? You can't put your hands on a cop.
Now your parents are gonna have to bail you out of jail.
Get your hands off of her! Get off! No! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! - I'm not! Come on! Let us just dance! - Partner! Get back.
Get back.
We ain't even doing nothing.
Miss.
Miss.
Hey! Whoa! Whoa! Yeah! What are you gonna do?! Back up! Get back! Get back! Get back! Partner! Back! Back! Back! We weren't doing anything.
Hey.
Hey.
Everybody, back.
Get home.
Get home.
This party is over.
You all right? - Yeah, I'm fine.
- Let's go.
Come on.
Get out of my way.
Get that -- get back.
Get back.
Hey.
Hey! It's time to go home! Now! Oh, you want to get cuffed up next? Get in your cars and get out of here! - Yeah, he's sleeping a baby.
- He knows what's about to come.
You really wanted him to be innocent, huh? Mack Logan cost him his life.
Twice.
No, Miller put himself back in jail.
Why do you think he kept the shoes? If criminals were smart, we'd be out of a job.
Shoes and his clothes -- only evidence we have of anything.
Something happens to them, this whole thing disappears.
Evidence disappears all the time.
It's not our job to figure out who walks and who doesn't.
Come on.
We make those type of judgment calls all the time.
Look, a couple thousand years ago, a bunch of guys in togas decided no one should be judge and jury.
We collect the evidence, and then we bring it to someone else to figure out what to do with it.
So you think it was right, the way we lied to Darrell's grandmother? Absolutely.
Ah.
See? You -- see, you want him to be guilty.
I don't want anyone to be guilty, Ruben.
I want people to stop killing each other.
But while they still do, we have to speak for the dead whether they deserve it or not.
Doing the right thing for the wrong people.
Sometimes.
Look, the system isn't perfect, but it's the best anyone's come up with yet.
I'm going to go get some coffee.
We're not talking Black P.
Stones or Rollin' 60s.
We're talking dancing catholic-school kids.
What's the problem, son? You scared of black people? No, sir.
Uh Crowd was out of control.
Situation was turning hostile.
I lost contact with my partner.
One of the females in question grabbed me, and when I went to subdue her, the other female, she got in my face.
She pushed me.
She slapped me.
And then when she spit at me, that made it an assault, so then You punched her.
Closed fist.
In the beak.
Yes, sir.
Do you have anything to add, Bryant? Sir, uh, we were outnumbered.
Our tactical advantage was compromised.
Officer Sherman made a split-second decision.
This is a tough, dirty job.
The system used to give us a lot more rope and a lot more soap.
But it's a new age.
A video age.
People are always watching us.
Everywhere.
All right? Sir.
All right.
Sherman, steel yourself.
Somebody out there got it on a cellphone.
You're about to become "that guy" now.
Yes, sir.
Close my door, please, gentlemen.
Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.
Hey, Coop.
Way to put the "Don" in "Donnybrook" back there today, man.
You looked good.
"Walking Dead," my ass.
Hey, did you hear about your boot? Buddy of mine over at Alvarado says he clocked a 15-year-old black chick at a high-school dance.
Still stepping on his meat, huh? I'm proud of his ass! Hey.
Hey.
You got a new nickname.
Yeah? What's that? "Wu-Tang" 'cause you ain't nothing to with.
Whoo! How's your back? Never better.
My uniform, on the other hand, not so good.
Oh.
My guy's out of business.
Where do you go? What? You think just because I'm Asian, I know someone who does alterations? Yeah.
off.
Try Milt & Edie's.
All right.
Night.
Hey, Sherman.
What's up? Can you stop by my sister's place and straighten out my niece? That's funny, man.
That's funny.
Hey, uh, thanks for having my back in there.
You always have your partner's back.
Especially when he's wrong.
Were we outflanked? Absolutely.
But that's the job.
Couldn't see you.
Things were getting out of control.
Well, you You kind of lost your cool.
You -- you got to You got to try not to lose your cool.
The only thing that makes us different from them is that even when they're firing at us, we don't fire back because we're mad.
We fire back to save lives.
You're right.
See you tomorrow.
Yeah.
Long drive.
Hey.
Nice work out there.
Thank you.
Oh, and You dropped this.
It's a shame to break this up.
I feel like the father in "Footloose.
" The remake or the original? How old are you, man? Sorry, but you guys have all got to go! The owner doesn't want you here! The owner wants you gone.
I want you gone.
Let's go.
Dude, we was just dancing.
Oh, well, you know, honey, dance your ass back home.
It's time to clear out, okay? Come on.
Clear out.
Everybody out.
Out.
Let's go.
Are you gonna make us go away? Hey.
We ain't doing nothing.
Get out of my face.
I'm gonna have to arrest you.
Let's go.
Hey, hey, whoa! For doing what? You can't put your hands on a cop.
Your parents are gonna have to bail you out of jail.
Get your hands off of her! Get off! No! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! - I'm not! Come on! Let us just dance! - Partner! Get back.
Get back.
We ain't even doing nothing.
Miss.
Miss.
Hey! Whoa! Whoa! Yeah! What are you gonna do? Back up! Get back! Whoa! Cops routinely find themselves underwater.
The best manage to keep but even for a strong swimmer like Officer Ben Sherman, the undertow can be tricky.
So, it's like this every weekend? Pretty much.
The man's still holding on to that Silver Lake shit, Sammy.
You need to school him.
Man likes living in a shoe box.
What can I tell you? Hey, I live 15 minutes from the division.
You guys live two hours.
I don't need to live in castaic copland for personal validation.
Cops need the long drive to decompress.
Come home to a house, yard, dog, a houseboat.
A life.
Yeah.
I got better ways of decompressing.
Hi.
Hey.
Mmm-mmm! Officer, I'm in need of some assistance.
Oh, show me handling.
God, I hope so.
See, now, the average brother would settle for some "Ugly Betty" type chick.
White boys go Beyoncé all the way.
Oh! Spike Lee had it right, man.
Hey, how's it going? Porosus crocodile bag.
It's worth like $50,000.
For a purse? Yeah.
Come on.
My sister would give her left arm for that bag.
Looks like somebody already did.
No body.
Maybe she made it to the hospital.
Mnh-mnh.
See -- no skid marks.
Whoever hit this lady, they didn't even stop.
You did call traffic about the stoplight cameras, right? Yes.
What's new in the zoo? Two guys from that bar said they saw a silver S.
U.
V.
speeding down the block.
Another said it was a suburban, and some other guy said it was a Ford Escape, no plates.
That's a nice bag.
You guys take a look? I felt with such a distinguished accessory, it required a more delicate touch.
'Course you thought that.
Mrs.
Meredith Williams.
Address is off Sunset.
Probably Bel Air.
Can you guys handle the notification? 'Cause this scavenger hunt for body parts is gonna take a while.
Yeah.
Sure.
I'm old-school all the way.
Don't start none.
Won't be none.
You have a question, Anawalt? Why are you handing out McDonald's applications? Every time you up, you're gonna fill out another line.
As your new Captain, let me make it clear -- wipe your feet before you step in my house.
We're gonna send the street a message.
Drop the lattes and get your narrow behinds out of your patrol cars.
Walk the courtyards, the alleys, the streets.
Squeeze your snitches.
You want omelettes, you got to crack eggs.
We will be the most proactive patrol in the entire city.
We protect.
We serve.
And we kick ass till we smell shit.
If anybody has a problem with that, Mickey D's needs all the help they can get.
The McRib is back.
Hello.
Hi, sweetie.
Is your mother home? Who are you? I need to speak with your mother.
Mom! Honey, what did I tell you about answering the door when I'm not around, all right? May I help you? Yeah.
I'm Detective Adams.
This is my partner, Detective Robinson.
Do you have a silver Ford Escape? Uh, yeah.
Ugh.
We were gonna lose the house.
I just got a job, so I drank with a few of my buddies.
I thought I hit a coyote.
You ripped a woman in half, Mr.
Davis.
Congratulations on his new job making license plates.
Ooh, that's harsh.
They're gonna be scraping chunks of Ms.
Williams out from under that car for hours.
We should make him help.
You know anything about this new Captain? Rucker was my sarge when I worked crash.
Yeah? Good guy? He's an O.
G.
with stripes on his arm and the attitude to match.
Our job just got harder.
Hey, Jones.
Rookie blue looks nervous.
Oh, skip it, Sherman.
I'm a P2, just like you.
Oh, I seriously doubt that.
Where did you do your probation? Pacific Palisades? Hey, look sharp.
Act sharp.
Be sharp.
And, uh, try not to get us killed.
Hey, wouldn't it be easier to just ask her for her phone number? Not nearly as much fun.
$10 million house to go with the $50,000 handbag.
That much? In this zip code? Hell, yes.
Mary Pickford used to live here.
Who's that? Are you serious? What, is she an ex-girlfriend of yours or something? Señora.
Señor.
Hello, sir.
I'm Officer Jessica Tang.
Is the owner of the house available? Oh, I am sorry.
Mrs.
Williams is not home.
It's okay, José.
I got this.
Mr.
Williams? Yes.
Is this about the marijuana? 'Cause I have a card.
Uh, no, sir.
It's about your wife.
She's with her boyfriend.
She won't be home till tonight.
There was an accident.
We're still investigating the circumstances.
We believe your wife was hit by a car and killed.
Do you need to sit down, sir? She's dead? Yes.
I'm sorry.
She's -- she's dead.
La bruja está muerta.
Oh, my God.
La bruja está muerta! "Bruja es m-muerta"? "The witch is dead.
" Ding dong, this is some strange shit right here.
- Against the wall, Sheryl.
- I'm Crystal now.
She got a pipe stashed somewhere.
It's an easy felony.
One good hooker's worth 10 C.
I.
s.
I say we flip her.
She's a kid.
A little jail time, she might go straight.
Let somebody else play captain save-a-hoe.
The pipe gives us leverage.
I say we use it.
All right.
Hey, Crystal.
Give us the purse.
Come on.
Look at this.
Give me one good reason why I shouldn't take you to jail.
'Cause Ronnie will beat my ass.
You don't think I can see him parked over there in that car? You going to jail with his money.
Start talking.
Day Day got a stash house.
Two Trey Day Day Crawford? Yeah.
Over by his spot on Denker.
Thank you.
Have a nice day.
So, how long you been a cop? Married? Kids? Divorced? Your feigned interest in my personal life is gonna have no bearing on how I evaluate your street readiness, okay? That's got to be the nicest way anyone has ever told me to shut up.
So, never married? Okay, then.
Shut up.
Ooh, check this guy out.
Full moon in broad daylight.
Sir? Hey.
Hey, how's it hanging, brother? Oh, rough morning.
Yeah.
I'm a little underwater.
Uh, you know you forgot your clothes, right? I just needed a run, you know? Okay.
Well, you can't run on city streets, but take the on-ramp.
Freeways are okay.
Oh.
Great.
Thanks.
Call CHP.
He's their problem now.
Hungry? So, no money was taken? No.
Guy came in with a ski mask.
He went to the magazine rack and shot him.
Hmm.
He ran off? No, no.
He stayed calm.
He walked out, but he had a little bit of a limp.
Did you know the victim? Every day, he reads Variety.
He never pays.
All he talks about is auditions, jobs, acting.
I don't know.
Look, let me ask you -- how long till my store is open? It's gonna be a few hours, okay? Hold tight.
Probably another broke actor.
What did they say when you called his I.
D.
in? Harold Mack Logan.
Multiple parolee.
This cat's rap sheet is thicker than a pocket Bible.
You see that? The marks around the edges? Mm-hmm.
Hey.
Off the phone.
What? What? You mopped up the floor? Well, I mean, do you know how hard it is to get blood out of tile once it soaks in? Are you guys going to pay for my floor? And to think I was gonna buy a slushie from you.
You're stupid.
I like Torii Hunter.
My man Jamarcus will smoke his ass.
That jersey is cursed.
No way.
How can you sit so comfortably with balls that big? I got your $20 right here.
Ben, you in? I'm out.
Anawalt? Shouldn't we be focused on what we're gonna do? We are.
We're here to protect and serve.
And kick ass.
- Come on, Torii Hunter.
- Let's see what you got.
Hey, fellas, what's going on? Five-o! Five-o! Five-o! No, no, no! Come on, Torii Hunter.
Hey! Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Stop, stop, stop, stop.
Down! Get down! - On the ground! - On the ground! Hands out.
Out.
Come on, Torii Hunter.
Jamarcus is coming for that ass! Just win, baby! Just win! Hey, I'm having a bad day.
I'm gonna keep that $20.
Take it easy.
How's everybody doing today? Get up.
Your boy can't run for shit, man.
All right.
Let's go.
How many we got? Huh? How many we got? - Four.
- Stay right here.
Right here.
Four.
The did you learn how to count? I count three.
I got one.
Anawalt, you had two.
Where's your other one? Yeah, I got -- did we lose somebody? Um The last guy you got, when you arrested him, are you sure you heard the cuffs click? Um, I We lost somebody? I I mean, he had to have gone that way.
Let's smoke him out.
- All right.
- Let's go.
Here.
He had to -- oh, shit.
So, what does our victim's rap sheet tell us about him? Despite 12 drug busts, Logan's never done more than a two-year stretch.
Mandatory sentencing should have had this cat away for decades longer.
He's a snitch.
Snitch.
So, what are you thinking? Somebody he snitched on popped him? It's a good place to start.
I mean, all those arrests, he's got lots of enemies.
Thank you.
Logan is not in our database as a paid C.
I.
Well, let's think outside the box.
What tools would you have used when you were on the robbery table? Google.
Come on.
If it were that easy, anybody could work homicide.
If it were that hard, do you think a jarhead like you could do it? Darrell Miller.
Mm-hmm.
Always maintained his innocence.
What else is new? Uh, convicted on the testimony of a jailhouse snitch.
It's our guy, Mack Logan.
Mm-hmm.
And Miller was freed when they finally bothered to do a DNA test on old evidence.
Released eight months ago.
"My Lord and savior, Jesus Christ.
I hold no grudges.
" We'll see about that.
Why you being so hard on Anawalt? Huh? Never lost a suspect before? Plead the fifth.
Mm.
Remember, for your next job, the regular McNugget meal comes with six nuggets, not four, plus fries and a drink.
Is that yours? Yeah.
Let me see it.
Is this ghetto cinderella? Anawalt matches her shoe, finds a prince? Kiss my ass, Sherman.
Ooh, language.
The cherub has tender ears.
No way somebody leaves behind a brand-new, customized tennis shoe unless they on the run.
See the initials on the back? What's that stand for? "Asshole running"? "Anawalt's regret"? You know who's wearing the other sneaker? I ain't no snitch.
What if I buy you a happy meal and let you play with the siren in the patrol car? Follow me.
Give me my shoe.
Get out of here.
Police officers! How y'all doing? I'm sorry to bother you, ma'am.
Does this shoe look familiar? No.
Clear in here.
He's running! What the hell, you damn asshole? Hit me with a baseball bat? You could have killed me! - Ben, I got it.
- Hell you thinking about, man? Huh? Come on.
Is he your son? No.
Is he your brother? Your cousin? Your nephew? I don't know him.
You don't know him? And you let him hide in your house? He's more my people than you.
Let's go.
Come on.
You see if we ever respond to a call from this house again.
Nobody asked you to come over here.
Nobody a-- we're over here every day, lady! Get the hell off my property! I don't care! - Every day, we're in this neighborhood! - Hey, hey, hey! - Every day we're here! - Oh, hell, no! What the you talking about?! We're here! Sherman, let's go.
You got somebody you want me to call, honey? No, ma'am.
Thank you.
Oh, you're polite now, huh?! - Come on, Sherman.
- Let's go.
You ever gonna let me drive? No.
What about after evaluation? How'd you hurt your back? Oh, I see.
Anything I ask you, I get stonewalled.
But I'm supposed to be an open book.
I'm the one in the driver's seat.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Holy shit.
Oh, my God! Request an R.
A.
Unit, our location, North Cahuenga.
Send an R.
A.
Unit, our location, Show us code six at 1643 north cahuenga.
You got a blanket in the trunk? I love Baldwin Hills.
Yeah.
Just 'cause it's South L.
A.
doesn't mean it has to be run-down, right? Uh-huh.
May I help you, detectives? You Darrell D.
Miller? Yep.
You know this man? Mack Logan? Yeah.
Lied on me and robbed me of two decades of sunshine.
What did he do now? Was shot at point-blank range not even 10 minutes from here.
You know, L.
A.
's a dangerous place.
Where were you this morning? I was helping my grandmother with her pill regimen.
She's 93.
I take care of her now.
Okay.
And she'll vouch for you on that? You know, I hated that fool.
That ain't no secret.
Mack said I confessed up at county to raping some white woman I hadn't even met just so he could go home three years early.
My mother died thinking I was a rapist.
If not for that DNA stuff, I'd still be doing time for him right now.
Darrell? Why don't you offer your friends some lemonade? That's okay, gran-gran.
They was just leaving.
Hey, in case you think of something else.
Thanks.
I don't know.
Saw that limp? Mm-hmm.
Just like in the video.
You think gran-gran will change her story when he leaves, let us have a look inside? Hope so.
"He's more my people than you.
" She's right.
They don't want us there.
I don't want to be there.
Another second, a few inches lower, I'd be dead right now.
When I was younger, that's all the L.
A.
P.
D.
did was constantly kick our asses.
That's where I remember Rucker -- the neighborhood.
So, why become a cop? There was a S.
W.
A.
T.
officer came and spoke to our school.
Randy Simmons.
Something about the way dude carried himself stuck with me.
What about you? My Uncle was a cop.
My friends and I were stoned.
I signed up as a goof.
Seemed like a good idea at the time.
I wanted to make a difference.
Another ghetto tourist.
It was either this or teach for America.
And have you changed anybody's life? You know, it's funny.
I used to -- I used to think about how these kids grew up.
No parents, drug abuse, hungry.
And now? I ain't a social worker.
When did Captain save-a-hoe become a libertarian? I guess that bit with the bat changed my mind.
Well, you may become a decent cop yet, Sherman.
Oh, thank you very much, Bryant.
He's very charitable this morning.
Any available unit, neighbor dispute at 2233 83rd Street.
Handling unit, identify.
Show us handling.
Do you want this? I don't want this.
Ugh.
Come on, now.
Let's let him get a little further down the block.
What do we say to the old lady when we get there? We just introduce ourselves.
Yeah, let's go.
I'm sorry, Mrs.
Miller, to bother you again.
Um, I'm Detective Lydia Adams.
Brenda! How you doing, girl? Hey! How you doing? Just came by to check on you.
Darrell went to the store.
Oh.
You know, I always liked you.
I said had Darrell married you, none of that other mess would have happened.
You remember Ruben, right? Yeah.
He got tall.
Hi.
How you doing? Um, Darrell borrowed Ruben's Ice Cube T-shirt A while ago, and he wants it back.
Do you mind if we check his room? Oh, baby, you ain't gonna find nothing back there.
Just as messy as always.
I'm still doing his laundry.
Do you mind if we check the laundry room? Go right ahead.
Laundry room is by the kitchen.
Oh, okay.
Thank you.
Y'all want some lemonade? Mm-hmm.
Yeah.
Sure.
Baby, what did you say your name was, again? Detective Lydia Adams.
Okay, Brenda.
I'll get that lemonade before my stories come back on.
Okay.
Are you sure we can do this? Darrell can't have it both ways.
If granny is competent enough to be his alibi, she's competent enough to give us consent.
Hey.
Hey, man.
Um, right back here.
All right, so dude's back here in the booth, right? Just about the time things are getting enjoyable, boom! Up in smoke.
Up in smoke is right.
His clothes smelled like meth.
He's probably loaded with flammable chemicals.
Wonder what he was watching.
That shit must have got hot, right? Hey, man.
What are you guys into? Huh? Come on.
You can tell me.
Least I can ask now that chickie's in Metro, right? We're citizens.
Come on, now.
What are you into, girl? Like, me, I like the large ladies.
Sofa-sized, man.
.
The B.
B.
W.
s The what? B.
B.
W.
S, man.
Big, beautiful women.
I'm gonna wait outside.
More ounce to the bounce.
Give me them tig old bitties.
I swear to God, man, fat chicks are awesome.
Kind of like riding a moped.
Moped.
Yeah.
It's fun as hell till someone catches you on one.
Right? What's going on, Paolo? I'll tell you what -- that old bitch is off her meds again.
Excuse me, ma'am? Her cats always get out, comes over to our yard, craps in our sandbox like it's a litter box.
My 4-year-old don't know no better.
Comes home every day covered in cat shit.
Have you filed a complaint, ma'am? Yes.
Numerous times.
But today, I went over there to talk to her, and she shot at me! What? I heard a gunshot.
You saw a gun? No.
I heard a gunshot.
That old bitch fired at me.
That's why I called y'all.
Did you check this out, Paolo? No.
Got here two minutes before you did.
It's just an old lady.
Yeah.
Thank you, ma'am.
We'll be in touch if we need anything else.
Can you see? Ma'am, it's the police.
Gun! Gun! - 836.
- Shots fired at our location.
Requesting additional units.
What's happened? She has a gun.
Saw it from the reflection in the window.
Now she's barricaded.
Did anybody call S.
W.
A.
T.
? No.
That request has to come direct from Captain Rucker.
What? What's so funny, man? Well, you can't hear the theme music? Here comes Shaft.
No mask, no weapon.
Well, if the blood on the sneakers matches Logan's or the clothes test positive with gunshot residue, we've got enough P.
C.
for an arrest.
What's bothering you? Homicide is just different than I thought it was gonna be.
Yeah? Yeah.
All the lying, word games.
If Darrell killed Mack Logan, don't you think he had it coming? Who the hell knows what Darrell went through in prison? Yeah, but that's not Darrell's choice to make.
Jesus.
Check this out.
Sir, you might want to take cover.
You pulled me out of a city council banquet for this? She's not coming out, sir.
We approached the front door.
She fired at us.
We need S.
W.
A.
T.
I got your S.
W.
A.
T.
right here.
I'm not calling Metro for some little old lady.
- Anawalt! - Yes, sir.
You have her on the phone? Yeah.
We routed all outgoing calls to my cellphone.
Who's she calling for? Pastors.
She didn't realize she was talking to me every time she called.
She also wants food for her cat.
Sherman.
Sir? Black case in my trunk, please.
Yes, sir.
It sounded like a very big gun.
Yes, I'm sure.
And -- and she fired at us.
Yes.
Yes, yes, yes.
Thank you, Bryant.
Blessed is she Whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered! Blessed is the woman to whom the Lord does not impute iniquity and in whose spirit there is no deceit! Come any closer, I'll shoot.
What are you doing? Sherman! Sir, just give me a second.
Hey, come here.
Come here.
Ma'am! Ma'am, we have your cat.
We have her out right here.
If you don't come out in the next 20 seconds, we're gonna have to -- we're gonna have to call the pound.
You're never gonna see her again.
Put down the gun, ma'am.
Ma'am, put down the gun, and I'll give her back to you.
What's the cat's -- Don't hurt her.
Okay.
What's the cat's name? Spooky.
Spooky.
Okay.
I'll -- there you go.
Spooky.
Spooky.
Okay.
Gun! Kevlar.
Damn.
The bit with the cat was smart.
Thanks, man.
Always got to think on your feet.
She was ready to go to war.
Get her up.
Granbo ain't no joke.
I cannot believe the blood matched the sneakers.
Now, guilt never surprises me.
Only innocence does.
You guys, go around the back.
We'll take the front.
- Oh, no.
- Mother Aah! Ho! Whoa.
Huh? Huh? Come on.
Easy.
I could have shot you already.
What you waiting for? Yeah, you did it.
Call said it was around here somewhere.
Well, at 6'6", he's not gonna be hard to miss.
I hate your friend.
Dewey is an acquired taste.
What a dick.
He's a hell of a cop.
At least, he used to be.
You know what they're calling us now, right? The Walking Dead.
Yeah.
You think that's funny? Very sexy.
I kind of stopped caring what people think after I told my parents I was gonna be a cop.
When did you first know you wanted to be a cop? Oh! Ain't going back to jail! All right.
Back up.
Step on over there, sir.
Rucker could have got a lot of people hurt today.
But he didn't.
He's proactive.
He took charge.
He made shit happen.
He bean-bagged an old lady.
No, he bean-bagged an armed suspect.
I didn't even see her second gun.
She's not dead.
None of our guys got hurt.
It's a good day.
Jones with the nicknames.
Now she's "Granbo" forever.
Deploying taser! That all you got?! God, he's tight.
Double-cuff him.
There we go.
You all right? Piece of shit.
Oh.
It's a shame to break this up.
Sorry, but you guys have all got to go! The owner doesn't want you here! The owner wants you gone.
I want you gone.
Let's go.
- Come on.
Clear out.
- Everybody out.
Out.
Let's go.
Are you gonna make us go away? Hey.
We ain't doing nothing.
Get out of my face.
I'm gonna have to arrest you.
Let's go.
Hey, hey, whoa! For doing what? You can't put your hands on a cop.
Now your parents are gonna have to bail you out of jail.
Get your hands off of her! Get off! No! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! - I'm not! Come on! Let us just dance! - Partner! Get back.
Get back.
We ain't even doing nothing.
Miss.
Miss.
Hey! Whoa! Whoa! Yeah! What are you gonna do?! Back up! Get back! Get back! Get back! Partner! Back! Back! Back! We weren't doing anything.
Hey.
Hey.
Everybody, back.
Get home.
Get home.
This party is over.
You all right? - Yeah, I'm fine.
- Let's go.
Come on.
Get out of my way.
Get that -- get back.
Get back.
Hey.
Hey! It's time to go home! Now! Oh, you want to get cuffed up next? Get in your cars and get out of here! - Yeah, he's sleeping a baby.
- He knows what's about to come.
You really wanted him to be innocent, huh? Mack Logan cost him his life.
Twice.
No, Miller put himself back in jail.
Why do you think he kept the shoes? If criminals were smart, we'd be out of a job.
Shoes and his clothes -- only evidence we have of anything.
Something happens to them, this whole thing disappears.
Evidence disappears all the time.
It's not our job to figure out who walks and who doesn't.
Come on.
We make those type of judgment calls all the time.
Look, a couple thousand years ago, a bunch of guys in togas decided no one should be judge and jury.
We collect the evidence, and then we bring it to someone else to figure out what to do with it.
So you think it was right, the way we lied to Darrell's grandmother? Absolutely.
Ah.
See? You -- see, you want him to be guilty.
I don't want anyone to be guilty, Ruben.
I want people to stop killing each other.
But while they still do, we have to speak for the dead whether they deserve it or not.
Doing the right thing for the wrong people.
Sometimes.
Look, the system isn't perfect, but it's the best anyone's come up with yet.
I'm going to go get some coffee.
We're not talking Black P.
Stones or Rollin' 60s.
We're talking dancing catholic-school kids.
What's the problem, son? You scared of black people? No, sir.
Uh Crowd was out of control.
Situation was turning hostile.
I lost contact with my partner.
One of the females in question grabbed me, and when I went to subdue her, the other female, she got in my face.
She pushed me.
She slapped me.
And then when she spit at me, that made it an assault, so then You punched her.
Closed fist.
In the beak.
Yes, sir.
Do you have anything to add, Bryant? Sir, uh, we were outnumbered.
Our tactical advantage was compromised.
Officer Sherman made a split-second decision.
This is a tough, dirty job.
The system used to give us a lot more rope and a lot more soap.
But it's a new age.
A video age.
People are always watching us.
Everywhere.
All right? Sir.
All right.
Sherman, steel yourself.
Somebody out there got it on a cellphone.
You're about to become "that guy" now.
Yes, sir.
Close my door, please, gentlemen.
Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.
