Nicole, stop!
Nicole!
I ruined everything.
Let me help you.
Okay?
I can help you.
Aah!
Ugh!
A h, shit.
Ugh.
Nico--
L.A.P.D. officers spend every
shift trying to help people
who often don't even know
they need help.
Some days the trying works
better than others.
Breakfast will be ready
in a minute.
You want to set
the table?
Mm, I'm not hungry.
You sick again?
Your bras don't fit,
and your mood's
moodier than usual, so...
...when were you
gonna tell me?
All right.
36 years old.
You don't have to tell
your mother anything.
But whatever
you want to do...
I'm here for you.
Mom, whatever
I want to do?
Well, you --
you have choices.
And whatever you decide,
I'm gonna be fine
with it.
Wow.
I so wasn't expecting that.
Well...
I'm confused.
I mean, I know that you
have always wanted this,
but...
Alone?
You did it.
I didn't have a choice.
And I was teaching --
home by 4:00.
Why is it that with men,
no one's questioning them?
The male detectives,
they don't have to make choices.
Well,
they're not having the babies,
their wives are.
And you're in the world
that you wanted to be in.
When the girls
you went to school with
were dating
and having babies,
you were learning about
corpses and blood-spatter
patterns...
Detective.
So
Who's the father?
Give me that!
Leave me alone. Stop!
I want that!
Hey, hey, hey!
Okay, fine.
You want it, you take it!
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa!
Is there a problem?
Oh, my God.
Geez.
You all right?
Thank you.
Wow, thank you so much.
Yeah.
I'm Ben.
I live, uh...
Yeah, you're
in my building, right?
Yeah.
I've seen you around.
Yeah.
I'm Cathy.
Hey.
Nice to meet you.
Is that your boyfriend?
- Ex.
- Yeah?
Recent breakup. Yeah.
Shit,
what do they want?
Hey, guys.
Uh, we're good.
Thanks.
Have a good one, all right?
Take care.
Thanks.
Cops, right?
Did you hear about that cop
who punched that girl...
Like, for absolutely
no reason?
Up, right?
- Yeah. Yeah.
- That's up.
Hey, uh, you have a tampon
or something?
Uh, yeah.
They never fix it when they say
they're gonna fix it, you know?
Thanks.
You know what?
Just take them.
Congratulations?
You tell
the department yet?
No.
Well, put it off until
you can't buckle your belt.
They'll put you on a desk job
for the duration.
That's messed up, man.
Someone took out lupe.
"Abuelita,"
they called her.
You knew her?
Not really.
I knew of her.
She was one of those old women
who knew everybody's business,
volunteered at the church,
went out with blankets
on cold nights,
and she was, like, the only
person in the neighborhood
that everyone liked.
Not everyone.
Yeah.
She was acting like
the cop was the problem,
not the asshole who tried
to Jack her for her iced tea.
What?
The woman from this morning
I was telling you about.
Boho artiste types
painting crappy protest art,
living in faux urban squalor
until daddy buys them a house...
Come on, man.
Really?
...in the Palisades
for a wedding present.
Ugh.
I mean, did you talk
to my realtor in Castaic?
Yeah, I talked to her.
She's showing me
a few places.
There was actually one
that I liked.
I'm gonna
check it out again.
You need to sign
on the dotted line, Ben.
You need to get the hell
out of Silver Lake
before you start worrying about
gluten and drinking raw milk.
You need to be
with your people --
your people
in the high desert, baby.
That's the place.
Land of the blue.
Nice.
Want breakfast?
Mnh-mnh.
- You sure?
- No. No, thank you.
Hey, um, I've got
a Doctor's appointment today,
so you're on your own
for lunch.
Everything all right?
You know, with the doctor
and everything?
Yeah.
It's just a checkup.
Hey. Hey.
What do we have?
Guy named Brian Monroe, big
downtown real-estate developer,
stabbed
about a dozen times.
One of the workers
found him here
when they opened up
this morning.
Hoo-hoo.
Did she see anything?
No.
Came in and here he was.
Girl lives upstairs.
The neighbor says
the victim
let hard-luck cases stay there
sometimes, gave them a job.
Hey.
Do you live upstairs?
By yourself?
What's your name,
sweetie?
Why don't you tell me
everything you saw?
This coffee tastes burnt.
It's better at grounds for --
No, no, no.
All right?
No coffee place with names
involving metaphors, jokes,
or any wordplay
whatsoever.
No "sufficient grounds,"
no "sacred grounds,"
no "espresso yourself."
- Officer Cooper?
O-officer?
He's back.
You ask us to come
to these community meetings,
and you act as though you care,
and then three weeks later...
Okay, what seems to be
the problem?
He's the problem.
You said
you got him housing.
And he's back again,
pissing in my doorway.
He's scaring away
my customers.
Okay, all right.
We're on it. Okay?
Thanks.
What's your name, sir?
Stan.
Stan. Okay.
Hey.
Hey, buddy.
Hey, you remember me --
Officer Cooper?
You took me
to the shelter.
I did. I did.
Yeah. Yeah.
We got you a place.
What happened?
Yeah. Yeah.
I-I had to leave.
They stole my I.D.,
stole my cart.
I lost everything.
They -- they wouldn't
let me back in.
All right, I understand.
But you can't sleep here,
all right?
This is private property.
I-I'm not hurting anyone.
How about if we, uh,
give housing another try, huh?
They -- they -- they --
they won't let me in
wi-- without I.D.
No.
You -- you a Marine?
Yes, ma'am. Marine.
Nice.
20 years.
So, if we get you
a new I.D.,
will you give housing
another try?
Another try?
Give it another try?
Another try?
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, I'll -- yeah.
What's your name, sir?
Yeah, yeah.
Tom.
Tom?
Tom Smith.
Okay, Tom Smith.
Tom Smith.
Where were you born?
That's Tom Smith.
Where were you born,
Tom Smith?
L.A.
19...
November 25th...
19...40-something.
I talked to Ferguson.
He's talking?
Uh, he's better.
Still a little hard
to understand.
Getting better --
all new teeth,
plastic surgery.
It's really an upgrade.
Whoa, whoa.
Hold on. Hold on.
See this?
Whoa. Hey!
Stop!
Stop! Freeze!
Back, back, back.
Stop! Freeze!
I got it. I got it.
You all right?
You okay?
Come out with your hands up!
Police!
Um, how did you end up
living here?
Well,
Brian used to come around
to where some of us kids
was camping out.
He'd bring us
food and blankets.
Said if I wanted
to get off the streets,
he'd give me a job
and I could stay here.
This is Tiny.
Tiny, this here's the cops.
You live here, too?
Did you hear anything
this morning around 5:00?
Maybe see somebody?
Did Mr. Monroe
live here with you guys?
No, uh,
he lived over in Venice.
No, I-I need a refill
on her pills today.
Nicole and her mom, Melanie,
they live here all the time.
Yeah, I-I-I know.
She lost them again.
Psst.
Yeah?
Yeah, I'm Detective Adams.
This is Detective Robinson.
You're Melanie, right?
Whoa.
Wait -- wait a minute!
Wait!
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!
- Come on, come on.
- Kill her!
I'll cut your throat, bitch!
What's going on?!
She killed him!
She killed Brian!
No, I didn't!
Don't you say
another word.
I did it.
I killed Brian.
You shot a dog?
It came at me
from behind the dumpster.
I called the ambulance.
They killed a dog?
He's not dead.
Stand back.
Nothing to see here!
Go!
Don't ask.
Just help me out,
all right?
Okay.
Call the sergeant
for me?
Oh, no, no, no.
You're the one who shot
man's best friend.
You see what you caused
by running, huh?
You see
what you caused here?!
- Punk.
- Look at this.
In the P.C.s.
What is that?
"Peruvian Conquistadors."
Is that a gang?
Oh, yeah.
They wish they were a gang.
Bunch of losers and geeks
trying to be tough guys, right?
Trying to be tough guys?
You know who the Conquistadors
were, right?
They're not Peruvian.
I ain't need you
to tell me that.
At least I didn't shoot
no damn dog.
Yeah, you got a
problem with me?!
Huh?!
Sammy, chill out, man.
Is he gonna be all right?
I'm not a vet, Sammy.
There's a clinic on Beverly.
You should take him there.
No, we -- we -- we got to wait
here for R.H.D. to show up.
We have people
we're supposed to be saving.
What about
animal control?
Oh, really?
Hill for a -- for a stray?
They're just
gonna put him down.
You want me
to put him down?
Come on, man.
You can take him for me.
Just drop him off
and tell them
that we'll be there
as soon as we can.
All right.
Two Lakers tickets.
Oh, come on.
All right. Okay.
Done.
I'll tell you that much.
When did you figure out
your daughter was sleeping
with Mr. Monroe?
I didn't know about Nicole
and Brian until last night.
I didn't plan
on killing Brian.
I-I just saw red, and I grabbed
the closest thing to me.
I guess it was a knife.
You got kids?
No.
God gives you
the test you need.
So Nicole was that test?
Since the day she was born,
Nicole was howling like a demon.
Sitters couldn't handle her.
Schools kept kicking her out.
I got thrown out of one
apartment and then another.
Between
taking her to doctors
and picking her up
when she was in trouble,
I-I couldn't keep a job.
When Brian found us,
we were sleeping behind
a 7-Eleven up on sunset.
What's wrong with Nicole?
Every doctor's
got something different --
you know,
attachment disorder,
defiant oppositional
disorder,
ADHD,
borderline personality.
Taken every pill there is.
One makes her sleep all day,
another makes her see things.
Brian was the closest thing
to a father she ever had,
and I never --
I never thought --
he was -- he was kind,
he was gentle.
Nicole had never had a man
like that in her life before,
and I...
And I trusted him.
And he...
I should have known,
you know?
I guess I just
didn't want to see.
What else can be used
to establish it?
You want me to drive?
Just while
you're on the phone?
No -- okay. So he does that
at the social security office?
No, he does not have
a birth certificate.
Oh, God.
Crazy Bob. Crazy Bob.
This is my car.
Hey, buddy.
Can you just -- can you please
get on the pavement?
Yeah, you need to get
on the curb.
This is my car!
Hey.
What --
calm down.
Oh, God.
Social secur--
You need to calm down.
All right?
He does not --
you calm! You calm!
No, I said he does not --
please step on the curb!
Bob.
No, he's a homeless man, not a-a dog.
Why would he have a --
if you don't calm down,
I'm gonna have to bring you in.
He does not have
vaccination records.
You mean
you wish you could.
I'm invisible.
You can't see me.
Aah!
Oh! You can see me!
I can see you, Bob.
I love this car!
It smells like apple pie!
Oh, your hand
is so smooth!
My hands?
No, hers!
Yours is totally calloused.
Like your soul.
No idea
who he belongs to?
No collar.
I figure he's a stray.
He gonna be all right?
Not without surgery.
You shattered his femur
and nicked an artery.
But you can fix him.
Surgery's expensive.
No owner...
So...
What's gonna happen
to him?
Well, he's an elderly
mixed-breed dog
with a history
of violence.
So you're just gonna
let him die?
We'll make him comfortable,
then put him to sleep.
He won't suffer.
Make him comfortable
by sticking a needle in him,
then murder him?
How much?
1,300 bucks?
What was I supposed to do --
let them murder him?
So what are you gonna do?
You gonna take him home?
Maybe. I don't know.
What are we
animal control, man?
The mutt
was attacking you.
No, R.H.D.
already investigated it.
Officer Bryant responded
to the threat appropriately.
R.H.D., F.I.D. --
I shot a kid last year,
those
didn't show up that fast.
You remember that?
Down on Alvarado Street?
Last year?
Yeah, man.
I was on Alvarado Street,
this shootout.
Kid comes running out
in the middle of it -- "aah!"
I blew his
thumb off.
He got a nice settlement, too.
Believe me.
He's now going to one of
the best private schools
on the West Side, compliments
of the L.A.P.D.
Shit happens
to all of us, man.
How long ago
was your last period?
Three months.
Your first pregnancy?
Second.
I had a miscarriage
a few years ago.
Cause?
Nothing in particular.
My doctor at the time
said it was normal.
It is, but it means you have an
increased risk in miscarrying,
especially given your age.
Are you planning
on carrying to term?
Uh, is abortion
still an option?
Terminating a pregnancy's
still pretty straightforward
up to 16 weeks.
I can make you
an appointment.
Um, I was just wondering.
If you decide to carry to term,
know that after 35,
you have an increased risk
in birth defects,
down syndrome
being the most common.
Given your low levels
of body fat,
I'm surprised you were
able to conceive without help.
It may be difficult
to do again.
With your risk
for miscarriage,
you might want to take
a leave of absence.
It's unlikely it will be
this easy to conceive again
if you lose this one.
Yeah.
Well, I'm not planning
on taking any time off.
Okay, then.
Let's get you up
in the stirrups.
There's that.
Seriously. What are you trying
to prove, living in that dump?
I pay 2 grand a month.
You pay 2 grand a month
to live in that slum?
I will have you know
I live next door
to the girl who plays bass
on "The Conan Show."
Thought you already
had a dog.
Well, my ex has him...
Along with my kid
and everything else.
Your balls.
Look at this.
Two more little geeks
think they're in a gang.
Probably came here
when math club let out.
Same gang?
Yeah.
There's got to be a reason
they're all out.
Ready, grandma?
Now.
Hey, fellas!
Where's the other girl?
In the bathroom.
There's no bathroom
in there!
How --
Hey.
Yeah, I don't think
it was the mother.
And I think
I really screwed up.
Oh.
Partner.
Whoa.
You got the same
on you, huh?
Huh?
Nah, he's clean.
Yeah, set him free.
All right.
Looks like you're
the catch of the day, kid.
I don't know whether
to grill or fry you.
Come on, man.
Give me a break.
Why would I do that?
It's a pretty serious crime.
That's a lot
of weed, man.
It's a lot of oregano.
That still sells. It's still a crime.
You want
to get out of this,
you're gonna have to give us
something right now.
I ain't got nothing.
You ain't got nothing?
Three of you morons
out on the same day?
Something's going on.
What are we
looking at here?
We're looking at jail time, right?
Oh, yeah.
Get in the car.
Okay, wait, man.
I'll tell you who shot Abuelita,
man, or whatever they call her.
Kid named
Jose Rafael, man.
We were supposed to be
shooting at MS-13.
We got beef with them.
You ain't got beef
with nobody
'cause nobody cares enough
to have beef with you.
Yeah, well, now they know.
Everyone knows.
We no joke.
No joke.
No joke?
Your boy shot grandma Moses,
you idiot.
So what's gonna happen
to me?
Let's see what she says.
We found that item of clothing
with blood on it.
We think
it's your daughter's.
It's mine.
We also pulled prints
off the knife.
Those weren't yours.
Nicole ran away.
Do you have any idea
where she might be?
Melanie, you're not
doing her any favors.
If you know
where she is --
you don't need to find her.
I did it.
We also talked to people
at the café.
They said that Nicole can be
unpredictable, violent.
They don't know anything
about my daughter.
Yeah, but we know
she has problems,
and the judge will take that
into account.
A judge?
My baby is not going before
some judge.
She has a future.
You see the paintings
in the apartment?
All hers.
See, a lot of artists
are -- are --
they're troubled,
temperamental.
An art teacher
in her last school
said she was good as anyone
twice her age.
She's 15,
out on the streets.
Don't you think
we should find her
before something
happens to her?
Well...
No, I don't know
what unit he served with.
Shit.
You're the Marine.
I thought that you would have
that information.
What can we do for you?
D.B. -- Figured you'd want
to secure for your detectives.
Our detectives?
Looks to me
like he's on county land.
You guys still handle
the rail, right?
You guys still handle
everything else.
Yeah, I'll hold.
Right?
I don't know, pal.
People lose arms all the time.
If we're
going by percentages,
the majority of them's
on L.A.P.D.
Well, sure, but you really want
to compare limbs to a torso?
You think that's wise?
No one's living too long
without a stomach, okay?
No, if he -- no, if he had
a birth certificate,
I wouldn't be needing to call
you, would I?
Cousin donated a kidney
to this kid in Wyoming --
still going strong.
I assume your cousin
had two kidneys, right?
No, ma'am. I didn't think you
had a big list, to be honest.
One head?
I don't know.
I guess I thought
you'd give a damn.
I guess I thought that
because he served his country
and it left him a wreck that
you would want to do something.
I guess I thought that
because he's a human being
living on the street like an animal
that you would want to help,
but I see now that --
that you have no interest!
You know what?
I hope that when you're old,
you're alone
living on the street...
- You know what? We got this.
- ...Begging for food on some doorway,
and someone just like you
is there to help!
All ours.
Yeah, well, you have
a nice day, too!
Did we decide on anything?
I think
they're gonna handle it.
We got it.
I got patrol officers out there
looking for her,
and I also have special Agent
Jamaica on the case.
She thinks she knows
where Nicole might be hiding.
I thought the patrol officer
was watching her.
I should have
kept a closer eye on her.
I know. I'm sorry.
Mom just won't give up.
Still keeps saying
she did it.
That's no surprise.
Really?
Sure.
You have kids, you do whatever
you need to do for them.
Even admit to a murder
you didn't do?
Yeah, admit to a murder,
you know, commit a murder --
whatever it takes.
They're your
responsibility.
You want to make sure
they're safe.
That's what moms do.
You -- you okay?
Well, yeah. Why?
Well, just,
the doctor and everything.
I'm fine.
Okay.
Just been sick
a lot lately...
In the mornings...
Not hungry.
Next time, don't
take any chances, all right?
Find another way to get the
witness to stick around, okay?
Okay. You're right.
I'm sorry.
You want to sleep
with some girl
who smokes hash
and works in a thrift shop,
be my guest,
but if you want my advice --
Do I have a choice?
Find yourself
a nice, normal girl
who wants to settle down,
wants to stay home.
Don't find some chick...
We're clear, we're clear.
...you think you're gonna change.
Go, go, go. We're clear.
Because you want to know what?
They don't change.
I don't care what they tell you.
They do not change.
Here we go. Here we are.
She's gonna kill him.
She got a knife,
and she's gonna kill him.
Where?
Inside!
Whoa, ma'am, ma'am!
Put down the knife!
Put down the knife!!
Put it down!
I don't need a knife.
I can take him out
with my own bare hands.
It's not even illegal.
Actually...
Whoa.
Jesus.
Jesus.
Aah!
Adam-36.
I need an R/A at my location.
I got a child, approximately 6,
in a pool, not moving.
Come on. Come on.
Mommy! Mommy!
Mommy!
Okay, let her breathe, let her
breathe, let her breathe.
You were supposed to be watching
her, you fat shit!
Probably
not even mine, anyway!
Hey! Cool off
with your kid here.
Yeah, I know he needs
a driver's license for that.
What -- no.
You're the fifth person
I've been transferred to.
Yeah, well, you've been
incredibly unhelpful.
Thanks for nothing.
Going pretty far out of your way
to help this guy.
Yeah, well,
I'm not getting anywhere.
So, what was it?
Charming demeanor, the smell
of cheap wine on his clothes,
those milky-brown
bloodshot eyes?
He's a Marine.
You in the service?
Me? No.
My dad.
Semper Fi. You know.
You're not gonna
make us rescue
every marine we come across,
are you?
Never leave
anyone behind.
Take a left up here
on Las Palmas.
What?
Take a left.
Why?
Just take a left.
Hey!
Tom?
Hi, Tom.
Hey, buddy.
Yeah?
Hi.
How are you doing?
Hey, we're gonna
take your picture, okay?
I'm gonna help you up.
Come on.
Let's sit up
for a little bit.
There we go.
All right.
I'm gonna
take your hat off, okay?
Mm.
It's all right.
I'm just gonna comb your hair.
All right?
Yeah.
Just for the picture, okay?
Okay.
There you go.
You hold onto it.
There we go.
Look at that.
Looks good.
You're a good-looking
man, Tom.
Just a second --
I'm just gonna wipe...
There we go.
Mm.
Yeah, that feels good.
Yeah,
get this up in here.
Yeah, that feels --
smells good.
Hmm?
All right, Tom.
Look at me.
Give me a smile.
There you go.
All right, let's have one more.
Are you serious?
Serious Tom?
Let's get some serious --
serious marine Tom.
There we go.
Better get me for this.
What is that?
Right.
Very funny.
Nice, nice, nice.
Get out of here.
That's funny.
I'm gonna call again and see
if he's out of surgery yet.
Hey, I didn't punch the dog
in the face, at least.
Well, that's funny,
actually.
You really
going through with this?
You want to put him down,
go ahead. Put the needle in.
I'll drive you
over there myself.
Hey.
"Rammy."
Asshole.
"Rammy!"
Rosa!
The police!
How's it going, fellas?
All right.
How's the fake I.D. business?
Still going strong?
See that?
Old school.
Hope you put that bitch away
for life, killing my man.
Your man
was 50 years old.
So?
Look, told you so.
Knew I could do a better job
of finding her than you all.
Nicole? Wait.
Wait!
Oh, oh. I'll get in the car.
King 54 requesting backup
at Wilshire and MacArthur Park.
54, we have officers responding.
What's your location?
Headed south on Park View.
Nicole, stop!
There they are. There they are.
Here we go. Here we go.
I'm going north
on Coronado.
Nicole!
I ruined everything.
Let me help you.
Okay?
I can help you.
Aah!
Ugh!
Ah, shit.
Ugh.
Hey! Stop! Stop!
Nicole!
Nicole, stop the car!
Stop!
Stop the car, Nicole!
Nicole!
Shit.
You okay?
Yeah.
Call an ambulance.
All right, sweetie.
I'm in trouble
again, huh?
Yeah.
He told me he loved me.
What happened, sweetie?
Did you and Brian
have an argument?
I caught him
with Jamaica.
He denied it.
But I know what I saw.
It's all over now,
isn't it?
Why don't they
just let me die?
Everybody would be better off
without me.
Nobody wants me.
That is not true.
Your mother is out there
right now
claiming that she's the one
that killed Mr. Monroe.
She's willing to go to prison
for you.
I ruined her life.
She hates me.
Have you ever seen your mom's
eyes when she talks about you?
Nicole,
her entire face lights up.
It's like her life started
when you were born.
She's not
afraid of anything
as long as she knows
that you're okay.
Nothing
in this world matters.
Nothing matters to her
but you.
I promise you, sweetie.
You matter.
- Hmm.
- Hey, Tom.
Hey.
How you doing?
Good.
Hey.
Look what I got you here.
You have a video membership now,
you've got a gym membership,
and you've got
a membership to yoga om.
Huh?
Not bad, right?
That ain't me.
Well, sure it is.
I don't know who this is,
but that ain't -- that ain't me.
Okay, Tom.
That ain't me.
I don't know who it is.
Tom, hang on one second.
Hang on, buddy.
Hey, Tom.
That -- that ain't --
no, no.
Okay. All right.
Tom, Tom.
Hang on, buddy.
You know
what we're gonna do?
I'll get that for you.
I'll get that.
Ahh.
That's not me.
Okay.
That's not me.
That's not me.
Okay, look, Tom?
That's not me.
We're gonna move you
down the street, all right?
That's not me.
This guy's
trying to run a business,
and we want to be fair to him,
all right?
That's not me.
It's okay.
That's not me. That's not me.
It's okay.
Okay, so we're just gonna
move you, all right?
Tom? Look at me.
Look at me.
Hey, buddy.
All right.
Don't worry. I'm gonna take
some of your stuff, okay?
We'll come back.
We'll get it all.
That's not me.
Okay.
That's not me.
You know what? I don'.
I think you're right.
I don't think
that's me.
You okay?
Who's that?
Who's this?
Who's this?
Who's that?
Something happen?
No. No, he's fine.
Uh, Sammy,
this is Juan Alvarez.
He's Paco's owner.
Paco?
Señor.
Muchas gracias, señor.
He says "thank you."
He said "thank you."
It's his
granddaughter's dog.
She's always taking
his collar off to wash him.
So, uh,
he can pay the bill, right?
He look like
he can pay the bill?
What?
I've prepared the bill.
Uh, will you be paying
by credit card or check?
Muchas gracias.
What?!
Is she okay?
Yes, she's gonna be fine.
They just took her off
to surgery.
You arrest her?
Yeah.
When can I see her?
They'll come and get you
as soon as she comes out.
You gonna arrest me
for lying to you?
No. No.
Did she hurt you?
It's nothing serious,
just a few stitches.
My baby was not born
with the stars on her side.
And she's gonna make it.
Yeah.
Sometimes
life deals you a tough hand.
You'll get through it.
Me?
I got the best hand there is.
Like I said,
God gives you the test you need.
Nicole has been
good for you?
Before I had my daughter,
I was floating through life.
I was like a --
like a little bird.
Different outfit every day,
getting promotions,
keeping up
with the movies and magazines.
That's what was
important to me.
What are you now?
Hmm.
I'm a rock.
I know what my life
is about.
And I wouldn't change that
for anything in the world.
Officer Sherman, hi.
I hope I haven't
kept you waiting long.
Just got here.
Okay, well,
let's show you around.
So, what are you thinking?
Huh?
Covenant House?
Yeah.
But I'll take her.
You go and have dinner
with your family.
Well, thank you, partner.
Welcome.
I'm glad
you're feeling better --
the doctor
and everything.
I thought maybe with you
being sick
in the morning and all,
that you might be,
uh, you know...
Pregnant.
That's you
being a Detective?
Deducing and intuition.
Mm-hmm.
Yes.
You may want to work on
that intuition part.
Right.
Right.
Okay.
Okay.
See you tomorrow.
See you tomorrow.
Jamaica, can I ask you
a personal question?
Go ahead.
What happened
to your family?
I have a mom,
but she don't want to...
Well, she likes to party.
I mean,
I see her sometimes.
When she's got some money,
she'd take me shopping...
For clothes, makeup.
She likes to look good,
have fun.
You ain't into that stuff,
are you?
No, not really.
You got kids?
Soon.
They gonna be
lucky kids.

Nicole, stop!
Nicole!
I ruined everything.
Let me help you.
Okay?
I can help you.
Aah!
Ugh!
A h, shit.
Ugh.
Nico--
L.A.P.D. officers spend every
shift trying to help people
who often don't even know
they need help.
Some days the trying works
better than others.
Breakfast will be ready
in a minute.
You want to set
the table?
Mm, I'm not hungry.
You sick again?
Your bras don't fit,
and your mood's
moodier than usual, so...
...when were you
gonna tell me?
All right.
36 years old.
You don't have to tell
your mother anything.
But whatever
you want to do...
I'm here for you.
Mom, whatever
I want to do?
Well, you --
you have choices.
And whatever you decide,
I'm gonna be fine
with it.
Wow.
I so wasn't expecting that.
Well...
I'm confused.
I mean, I know that you
have always wanted this,
but...
Alone?
You did it.
I didn't have a choice.
And I was teaching --
home by 4:00.
Why is it that with men,
no one's questioning them?
The male detectives,
they don't have to make choices.
Well,
they're not having the babies,
their wives are.
And you're in the world
that you wanted to be in.
When the girls
you went to school with
were dating
and having babies,
you were learning about
corpses and blood-spatter
patterns...
Detective.
So
Who's the father?
Give me that!
Leave me alone. Stop!
I want that!
Hey, hey, hey!
Okay, fine.
You want it, you take it!
Whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa!
Is there a problem?
Oh, my God.
Geez.
You all right?
Thank you.
Wow, thank you so much.
Yeah.
I'm Ben.
I live, uh...
Yeah, you're
in my building, right?
Yeah.
I've seen you around.
Yeah.
I'm Cathy.
Hey.
Nice to meet you.
Is that your boyfriend?
- Ex.
- Yeah?
Recent breakup. Yeah.
Shit,
what do they want?
Hey, guys.
Uh, we're good.
Thanks.
Have a good one, all right?
Take care.
Thanks.
Cops, right?
Did you hear about that cop
who punched that girl...
Like, for absolutely
no reason?
Up, right?
- Yeah. Yeah.
- That's up.
Hey, uh, you have a tampon
or something?
Uh, yeah.
They never fix it when they say
they're gonna fix it, you know?
Thanks.
You know what?
Just take them.
Congratulations?
You tell
the department yet?
No.
Well, put it off until
you can't buckle your belt.
They'll put you on a desk job
for the duration.
That's messed up, man.
Someone took out lupe.
"Abuelita,"
they called her.
You knew her?
Not really.
I knew of her.
She was one of those old women
who knew everybody's business,
volunteered at the church,
went out with blankets
on cold nights,
and she was, like, the only
person in the neighborhood
that everyone liked.
Not everyone.
Yeah.
She was acting like
the cop was the problem,
not the asshole who tried
to Jack her for her iced tea.
What?
The woman from this morning
I was telling you about.
Boho artiste types
painting crappy protest art,
living in faux urban squalor
until daddy buys them a house...
Come on, man.
Really?
...in the Palisades
for a wedding present.
Ugh.
I mean, did you talk
to my realtor in Castaic?
Yeah, I talked to her.
She's showing me
a few places.
There was actually one
that I liked.
I'm gonna
check it out again.
You need to sign
on the dotted line, Ben.
You need to get the hell
out of Silver Lake
before you start worrying about
gluten and drinking raw milk.
You need to be
with your people --
your people
in the high desert, baby.
That's the place.
Land of the blue.
Nice.
Want breakfast?
Mnh-mnh.
- You sure?
- No. No, thank you.
Hey, um, I've got
a Doctor's appointment today,
so you're on your own
for lunch.
Everything all right?
You know, with the doctor
and everything?
Yeah.
It's just a checkup.
Hey. Hey.
What do we have?
Guy named Brian Monroe, big
downtown real-estate developer,
stabbed
about a dozen times.
One of the workers
found him here
when they opened up
this morning.
Hoo-hoo.
Did she see anything?
No.
Came in and here he was.
Girl lives upstairs.
The neighbor says
the victim
let hard-luck cases stay there
sometimes, gave them a job.
Hey.
Do you live upstairs?
By yourself?
What's your name,
sweetie?
Why don't you tell me
everything you saw?
This coffee tastes burnt.
It's better at grounds for --
No, no, no.
All right?
No coffee place with names
involving metaphors, jokes,
or any wordplay
whatsoever.
No "sufficient grounds,"
no "sacred grounds,"
no "espresso yourself."
- Officer Cooper?
O-officer?
He's back.
You ask us to come
to these community meetings,
and you act as though you care,
and then three weeks later...
Okay, what seems to be
the problem?
He's the problem.
You said
you got him housing.
And he's back again,
pissing in my doorway.
He's scaring away
my customers.
Okay, all right.
We're on it. Okay?
Thanks.
What's your name, sir?
Stan.
Stan. Okay.
Hey.
Hey, buddy.
Hey, you remember me --
Officer Cooper?
You took me
to the shelter.
I did. I did.
Yeah. Yeah.
We got you a place.
What happened?
Yeah. Yeah.
I-I had to leave.
They stole my I.D.,
stole my cart.
I lost everything.
They -- they wouldn't
let me back in.
All right, I understand.
But you can't sleep here,
all right?
This is private property.
I-I'm not hurting anyone.
How about if we, uh,
give housing another try, huh?
They -- they -- they --
they won't let me in
wi-- without I.D.
No.
You -- you a Marine?
Yes, ma'am. Marine.
Nice.
20 years.
So, if we get you
a new I.D.,
will you give housing
another try?
Another try?
Give it another try?
Another try?
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, I'll -- yeah.
What's your name, sir?
Yeah, yeah.
Tom.
Tom?
Tom Smith.
Okay, Tom Smith.
Tom Smith.
Where were you born?
That's Tom Smith.
Where were you born,
Tom Smith?
L.A.
19...
November 25th...
19...40-something.
I talked to Ferguson.
He's talking?
Uh, he's better.
Still a little hard
to understand.
Getting better --
all new teeth,
plastic surgery.
It's really an upgrade.
Whoa, whoa.
Hold on. Hold on.
See this?
Whoa. Hey!
Stop!
Stop! Freeze!
Back, back, back.
Stop! Freeze!
I got it. I got it.
You all right?
You okay?
Come out with your hands up!
Police!
Um, how did you end up
living here?
Well,
Brian used to come around
to where some of us kids
was camping out.
He'd bring us
food and blankets.
Said if I wanted
to get off the streets,
he'd give me a job
and I could stay here.
This is Tiny.
Tiny, this here's the cops.
You live here, too?
Did you hear anything
this morning around 5:00?
Maybe see somebody?
Did Mr. Monroe
live here with you guys?
No, uh,
he lived over in Venice.
No, I-I need a refill
on her pills today.
Nicole and her mom, Melanie,
they live here all the time.
Yeah, I-I-I know.
She lost them again.
Psst.
Yeah?
Yeah, I'm Detective Adams.
This is Detective Robinson.
You're Melanie, right?
Whoa.
Wait -- wait a minute!
Wait!
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!
- Come on, come on.
- Kill her!
I'll cut your throat, bitch!
What's going on?!
She killed him!
She killed Brian!
No, I didn't!
Don't you say
another word.
I did it.
I killed Brian.
You shot a dog?
It came at me
from behind the dumpster.
I called the ambulance.
They killed a dog?
He's not dead.
Stand back.
Nothing to see here!
Go!
Don't ask.
Just help me out,
all right?
Okay.
Call the sergeant
for me?
Oh, no, no, no.
You're the one who shot
man's best friend.
You see what you caused
by running, huh?
You see
what you caused here?!
- Punk.
- Look at this.
In the P.C.s.
What is that?
"Peruvian Conquistadors."
Is that a gang?
Oh, yeah.
They wish they were a gang.
Bunch of losers and geeks
trying to be tough guys, right?
Trying to be tough guys?
You know who the Conquistadors
were, right?
They're not Peruvian.
I ain't need you
to tell me that.
At least I didn't shoot
no damn dog.
Yeah, you got a
problem with me?!
Huh?!
Sammy, chill out, man.
Is he gonna be all right?
I'm not a vet, Sammy.
There's a clinic on Beverly.
You should take him there.
No, we -- we -- we got to wait
here for R.H.D. to show up.
We have people
we're supposed to be saving.
What about
animal control?
Oh, really?
Hill for a -- for a stray?
They're just
gonna put him down.
You want me
to put him down?
Come on, man.
You can take him for me.
Just drop him off
and tell them
that we'll be there
as soon as we can.
All right.
Two Lakers tickets.
Oh, come on.
All right. Okay.
Done.
I'll tell you that much.
When did you figure out
your daughter was sleeping
with Mr. Monroe?
I didn't know about Nicole
and Brian until last night.
I didn't plan
on killing Brian.
I-I just saw red, and I grabbed
the closest thing to me.
I guess it was a knife.
You got kids?
No.
God gives you
the test you need.
So Nicole was that test?
Since the day she was born,
Nicole was howling like a demon.
Sitters couldn't handle her.
Schools kept kicking her out.
I got thrown out of one
apartment and then another.
Between
taking her to doctors
and picking her up
when she was in trouble,
I-I couldn't keep a job.
When Brian found us,
we were sleeping behind
a 7-Eleven up on sunset.
What's wrong with Nicole?
Every doctor's
got something different --
you know,
attachment disorder,
defiant oppositional
disorder,
ADHD,
borderline personality.
Taken every pill there is.
One makes her sleep all day,
another makes her see things.
Brian was the closest thing
to a father she ever had,
and I never --
I never thought --
he was -- he was kind,
he was gentle.
Nicole had never had a man
like that in her life before,
and I...
And I trusted him.
And he...
I should have known,
you know?
I guess I just
didn't want to see.
What else can be used
to establish it?
You want me to drive?
Just while
you're on the phone?
No -- okay. So he does that
at the social security office?
No, he does not have
a birth certificate.
Oh, God.
Crazy Bob. Crazy Bob.
This is my car.
Hey, buddy.
Can you just -- can you please
get on the pavement?
Yeah, you need to get
on the curb.
This is my car!
Hey.
What --
calm down.
Oh, God.
Social secur--
You need to calm down.
All right?
He does not --
you calm! You calm!
No, I said he does not --
please step on the curb!
Bob.
No, he's a homeless man, not a-a dog.
Why would he have a --
if you don't calm down,
I'm gonna have to bring you in.
He does not have
vaccination records.
You mean
you wish you could.
I'm invisible.
You can't see me.
Aah!
Oh! You can see me!
I can see you, Bob.
I love this car!
It smells like apple pie!
Oh, your hand
is so smooth!
My hands?
No, hers!
Yours is totally calloused.
Like your soul.
No idea
who he belongs to?
No collar.
I figure he's a stray.
He gonna be all right?
Not without surgery.
You shattered his femur
and nicked an artery.
But you can fix him.
Surgery's expensive.
No owner...
So...
What's gonna happen
to him?
Well, he's an elderly
mixed-breed dog
with a history
of violence.
So you're just gonna
let him die?
We'll make him comfortable,
then put him to sleep.
He won't suffer.
Make him comfortable
by sticking a needle in him,
then murder him?
How much?
1,300 bucks?
What was I supposed to do --
let them murder him?
So what are you gonna do?
You gonna take him home?
Maybe. I don't know.
What are we
animal control, man?
The mutt
was attacking you.
No, R.H.D.
already investigated it.
Officer Bryant responded
to the threat appropriately.
R.H.D., F.I.D. --
I shot a kid last year,
those
didn't show up that fast.
You remember that?
Down on Alvarado Street?
Last year?
Yeah, man.
I was on Alvarado Street,
this shootout.
Kid comes running out
in the middle of it -- "aah!"
I blew his
thumb off.
He got a nice settlement, too.
Believe me.
He's now going to one of
the best private schools
on the West Side, compliments
of the L.A.P.D.
Shit happens
to all of us, man.
How long ago
was your last period?
Three months.
Your first pregnancy?
Second.
I had a miscarriage
a few years ago.
Cause?
Nothing in particular.
My doctor at the time
said it was normal.
It is, but it means you have an
increased risk in miscarrying,
especially given your age.
Are you planning
on carrying to term?
Uh, is abortion
still an option?
Terminating a pregnancy's
still pretty straightforward
up to 16 weeks.
I can make you
an appointment.
Um, I was just wondering.
If you decide to carry to term,
know that after 35,
you have an increased risk
in birth defects,
down syndrome
being the most common.
Given your low levels
of body fat,
I'm surprised you were
able to conceive without help.
It may be difficult
to do again.
With your risk
for miscarriage,
you might want to take
a leave of absence.
It's unlikely it will be
this easy to conceive again
if you lose this one.
Yeah.
Well, I'm not planning
on taking any time off.
Okay, then.
Let's get you up
in the stirrups.
There's that.
Seriously. What are you trying
to prove, living in that dump?
I pay 2 grand a month.
You pay 2 grand a month
to live in that slum?
I will have you know
I live next door
to the girl who plays bass
on "The Conan Show."
Thought you already
had a dog.
Well, my ex has him...
Along with my kid
and everything else.
Your balls.
Look at this.
Two more little geeks
think they're in a gang.
Probably came here
when math club let out.
Same gang?
Yeah.
There's got to be a reason
they're all out.
Ready, grandma?
Now.
Hey, fellas!
Where's the other girl?
In the bathroom.
There's no bathroom
in there!
How --
Hey.
Yeah, I don't think
it was the mother.
And I think
I really screwed up.
Oh.
Partner.
Whoa.
You got the same
on you, huh?
Huh?
Nah, he's clean.
Yeah, set him free.
All right.
Looks like you're
the catch of the day, kid.
I don't know whether
to grill or fry you.
Come on, man.
Give me a break.
Why would I do that?
It's a pretty serious crime.
That's a lot
of weed, man.
It's a lot of oregano.
That still sells. It's still a crime.
You want
to get out of this,
you're gonna have to give us
something right now.
I ain't got nothing.
You ain't got nothing?
Three of you morons
out on the same day?
Something's going on.
What are we
looking at here?
We're looking at jail time, right?
Oh, yeah.
Get in the car.
Okay, wait, man.
I'll tell you who shot Abuelita,
man, or whatever they call her.
Kid named
Jose Rafael, man.
We were supposed to be
shooting at MS-13.
We got beef with them.
You ain't got beef
with nobody
'cause nobody cares enough
to have beef with you.
Yeah, well, now they know.
Everyone knows.
We no joke.
No joke.
No joke?
Your boy shot grandma Moses,
you idiot.
So what's gonna happen
to me?
Let's see what she says.
We found that item of clothing
with blood on it.
We think
it's your daughter's.
It's mine.
We also pulled prints
off the knife.
Those weren't yours.
Nicole ran away.
Do you have any idea
where she might be?
Melanie, you're not
doing her any favors.
If you know
where she is --
you don't need to find her.
I did it.
We also talked to people
at the café.
They said that Nicole can be
unpredictable, violent.
They don't know anything
about my daughter.
Yeah, but we know
she has problems,
and the judge will take that
into account.
A judge?
My baby is not going before
some judge.
She has a future.
You see the paintings
in the apartment?
All hers.
See, a lot of artists
are -- are --
they're troubled,
temperamental.
An art teacher
in her last school
said she was good as anyone
twice her age.
She's 15,
out on the streets.
Don't you think
we should find her
before something
happens to her?
Well...
No, I don't know
what unit he served with.
Shit.
You're the Marine.
I thought that you would have
that information.
What can we do for you?
D.B. -- Figured you'd want
to secure for your detectives.
Our detectives?
Looks to me
like he's on county land.
You guys still handle
the rail, right?
You guys still handle
everything else.
Yeah, I'll hold.
Right?
I don't know, pal.
People lose arms all the time.
If we're
going by percentages,
the majority of them's
on L.A.P.D.
Well, sure, but you really want
to compare limbs to a torso?
You think that's wise?
No one's living too long
without a stomach, okay?
No, if he -- no, if he had
a birth certificate,
I wouldn't be needing to call
you, would I?
Cousin donated a kidney
to this kid in Wyoming --
still going strong.
I assume your cousin
had two kidneys, right?
No, ma'am. I didn't think you
had a big list, to be honest.
One head?
I don't know.
I guess I thought
you'd give a damn.
I guess I thought that
because he served his country
and it left him a wreck that
you would want to do something.
I guess I thought that
because he's a human being
living on the street like an animal
that you would want to help,
but I see now that --
that you have no interest!
You know what?
I hope that when you're old,
you're alone
living on the street...
- You know what? We got this.
- ...Begging for food on some doorway,
and someone just like you
is there to help!
All ours.
Yeah, well, you have
a nice day, too!
Did we decide on anything?
I think
they're gonna handle it.
We got it.
I got patrol officers out there
looking for her,
and I also have special Agent
Jamaica on the case.
She thinks she knows
where Nicole might be hiding.
I thought the patrol officer
was watching her.
I should have
kept a closer eye on her.
I know. I'm sorry.
Mom just won't give up.
Still keeps saying
she did it.
That's no surprise.
Really?
Sure.
You have kids, you do whatever
you need to do for them.
Even admit to a murder
you didn't do?
Yeah, admit to a murder,
you know, commit a murder --
whatever it takes.
They're your
responsibility.
You want to make sure
they're safe.
That's what moms do.
You -- you okay?
Well, yeah. Why?
Well, just,
the doctor and everything.
I'm fine.
Okay.
Just been sick
a lot lately...
In the mornings...
Not hungry.
Next time, don't
take any chances, all right?
Find another way to get the
witness to stick around, okay?
Okay. You're right.
I'm sorry.
You want to sleep
with some girl
who smokes hash
and works in a thrift shop,
be my guest,
but if you want my advice --
Do I have a choice?
Find yourself
a nice, normal girl
who wants to settle down,
wants to stay home.
Don't find some chick...
We're clear, we're clear.
...you think you're gonna change.
Go, go, go. We're clear.
Because you want to know what?
They don't change.
I don't care what they tell you.
They do not change.
Here we go. Here we are.
She's gonna kill him.
She got a knife,
and she's gonna kill him.
Where?
Inside!
Whoa, ma'am, ma'am!
Put down the knife!
Put down the knife!!
Put it down!
I don't need a knife.
I can take him out
with my own bare hands.
It's not even illegal.
Actually...
Whoa.
Jesus.
Jesus.
Aah!
Adam-36.
I need an R/A at my location.
I got a child, approximately 6,
in a pool, not moving.
Come on. Come on.
Mommy! Mommy!
Mommy!
Okay, let her breathe, let her
breathe, let her breathe.
You were supposed to be watching
her, you fat shit!
Probably
not even mine, anyway!
Hey! Cool off
with your kid here.
Yeah, I know he needs
a driver's license for that.
What -- no.
You're the fifth person
I've been transferred to.
Yeah, well, you've been
incredibly unhelpful.
Thanks for nothing.
Going pretty far out of your way
to help this guy.
Yeah, well,
I'm not getting anywhere.
So, what was it?
Charming demeanor, the smell
of cheap wine on his clothes,
those milky-brown
bloodshot eyes?
He's a Marine.
You in the service?
Me? No.
My dad.
Semper Fi. You know.
You're not gonna
make us rescue
every marine we come across,
are you?
Never leave
anyone behind.
Take a left up here
on Las Palmas.
What?
Take a left.
Why?
Just take a left.
Hey!
Tom?
Hi, Tom.
Hey, buddy.
Yeah?
Hi.
How are you doing?
Hey, we're gonna
take your picture, okay?
I'm gonna help you up.
Come on.
Let's sit up
for a little bit.
There we go.
All right.
I'm gonna
take your hat off, okay?
Mm.
It's all right.
I'm just gonna comb your hair.
All right?
Yeah.
Just for the picture, okay?
Okay.
There you go.
You hold onto it.
There we go.
Look at that.
Looks good.
You're a good-looking
man, Tom.
Just a second --
I'm just gonna wipe...
There we go.
Mm.
Yeah, that feels good.
Yeah,
get this up in here.
Yeah, that feels --
smells good.
Hmm?
All right, Tom.
Look at me.
Give me a smile.
There you go.
All right, let's have one more.
Are you serious?
Serious Tom?
Let's get some serious --
serious marine Tom.
There we go.
Better get me for this.
What is that?
Right.
Very funny.
Nice, nice, nice.
Get out of here.
That's funny.
I'm gonna call again and see
if he's out of surgery yet.
Hey, I didn't punch the dog
in the face, at least.
Well, that's funny,
actually.
You really
going through with this?
You want to put him down,
go ahead. Put the needle in.
I'll drive you
over there myself.
Hey.
"Rammy."
Asshole.
"Rammy!"
Rosa!
The police!
How's it going, fellas?
All right.
How's the fake I.D. business?
Still going strong?
See that?
Old school.
Hope you put that bitch away
for life, killing my man.
Your man
was 50 years old.
So?
Look, told you so.
Knew I could do a better job
of finding her than you all.
Nicole? Wait.
Wait!
Oh, oh. I'll get in the car.
King 54 requesting backup
at Wilshire and MacArthur Park.
54, we have officers responding.
What's your location?
Headed south on Park View.
Nicole, stop!
There they are. There they are.
Here we go. Here we go.
I'm going north
on Coronado.
Nicole!
I ruined everything.
Let me help you.
Okay?
I can help you.
Aah!
Ugh!
Ah, shit.
Ugh.
Hey! Stop! Stop!
Nicole!
Nicole, stop the car!
Stop!
Stop the car, Nicole!
Nicole!
Shit.
You okay?
Yeah.
Call an ambulance.
All right, sweetie.
I'm in trouble
again, huh?
Yeah.
He told me he loved me.
What happened, sweetie?
Did you and Brian
have an argument?
I caught him
with Jamaica.
He denied it.
But I know what I saw.
It's all over now,
isn't it?
Why don't they
just let me die?
Everybody would be better off
without me.
Nobody wants me.
That is not true.
Your mother is out there
right now
claiming that she's the one
that killed Mr. Monroe.
She's willing to go to prison
for you.
I ruined her life.
She hates me.
Have you ever seen your mom's
eyes when she talks about you?
Nicole,
her entire face lights up.
It's like her life started
when you were born.
She's not
afraid of anything
as long as she knows
that you're okay.
Nothing
in this world matters.
Nothing matters to her
but you.
I promise you, sweetie.
You matter.
- Hmm.
- Hey, Tom.
Hey.
How you doing?
Good.
Hey.
Look what I got you here.
You have a video membership now,
you've got a gym membership,
and you've got
a membership to yoga om.
Huh?
Not bad, right?
That ain't me.
Well, sure it is.
I don't know who this is,
but that ain't -- that ain't me.
Okay, Tom.
That ain't me.
I don't know who it is.
Tom, hang on one second.
Hang on, buddy.
Hey, Tom.
That -- that ain't --
no, no.
Okay. All right.
Tom, Tom.
Hang on, buddy.
You know
what we're gonna do?
I'll get that for you.
I'll get that.
Ahh.
That's not me.
Okay.
That's not me.
That's not me.
Okay, look, Tom?
That's not me.
We're gonna move you
down the street, all right?
That's not me.
This guy's
trying to run a business,
and we want to be fair to him,
all right?
That's not me.
It's okay.
That's not me. That's not me.
It's okay.
Okay, so we're just gonna
move you, all right?
Tom? Look at me.
Look at me.
Hey, buddy.
All right.
Don't worry. I'm gonna take
some of your stuff, okay?
We'll come back.
We'll get it all.
That's not me.
Okay.
That's not me.
You know what? I don'.
I think you're right.
I don't think
that's me.
You okay?
Who's that?
Who's this?
Who's this?
Who's that?
Something happen?
No. No, he's fine.
Uh, Sammy,
this is Juan Alvarez.
He's Paco's owner.
Paco?
Señor.
Muchas gracias, señor.
He says "thank you."
He said "thank you."
It's his
granddaughter's dog.
She's always taking
his collar off to wash him.
So, uh,
he can pay the bill, right?
He look like
he can pay the bill?
What?
I've prepared the bill.
Uh, will you be paying
by credit card or check?
Muchas gracias.
What?!
Is she okay?
Yes, she's gonna be fine.
They just took her off
to surgery.
You arrest her?
Yeah.
When can I see her?
They'll come and get you
as soon as she comes out.
You gonna arrest me
for lying to you?
No. No.
Did she hurt you?
It's nothing serious,
just a few stitches.
My baby was not born
with the stars on her side.
And she's gonna make it.
Yeah.
Sometimes
life deals you a tough hand.
You'll get through it.
Me?
I got the best hand there is.
Like I said,
God gives you the test you need.
Nicole has been
good for you?
Before I had my daughter,
I was floating through life.
I was like a --
like a little bird.
Different outfit every day,
getting promotions,
keeping up
with the movies and magazines.
That's what was
important to me.
What are you now?
Hmm.
I'm a rock.
I know what my life
is about.
And I wouldn't change that
for anything in the world.
Officer Sherman, hi.
I hope I haven't
kept you waiting long.
Just got here.
Okay, well,
let's show you around.
So, what are you thinking?
Huh?
Covenant House?
Yeah.
But I'll take her.
You go and have dinner
with your family.
Well, thank you, partner.
Welcome.
I'm glad
you're feeling better --
the doctor
and everything.
I thought maybe with you
being sick
in the morning and all,
that you might be,
uh, you know...
Pregnant.
That's you
being a Detective?
Deducing and intuition.
Mm-hmm.
Yes.
You may want to work on
that intuition part.
Right.
Right.
Okay.
Okay.
See you tomorrow.
See you tomorrow.
Jamaica, can I ask you
a personal question?
Go ahead.
What happened
to your family?
I have a mom,
but she don't want to...
Well, she likes to party.
I mean,
I see her sometimes.
When she's got some money,
she'd take me shopping...
For clothes, makeup.
She likes to look good,
have fun.
You ain't into that stuff,
are you?
No, not really.
You got kids?
Soon.
They gonna be
lucky kids.
