[ DOG BARKING IN DISTANCE ]

[ CAR DOOR OPENS ]

Hicks:
COWARD, AMBUSHING ME.

YOU WAITED UNTIL I WAS ASLEEP,
DIDN'T YOU?

[ BREATHING HEAVILY ]

WHAT THE HELL
ARE YOU DOING?

SOBERING YOU UP.

[ HANDCUFFS CLICKING ]

I LET YOU GO THROUGH

'CAUSE I KNEW
I COULDN'T FIX YOU.

FUCKED-UP KID
WITH NO EDUCATION.

YOU WERE LUCKY TO FIND A GIG
THAT PAID $30,000 A YEAR.

YOU'D BE DIGGING DITCHES
IF IT WEREN'T FOR ME.

AND THIS IS YOUR WAY
OF THANKING ME.



[ GRUNTS ]

[ BREATHING HEAVILY ]

YOU AND I
ARE GONNA TALK LATER.

[ SPLASHING ]

[ BOTTLE TAPPING ]

SOMETHING TO PISS IN.

GO FUCK YOURSELF!

[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]

[ FOOTSTEPS APPROACH ]

HEY, HEY.
Lydia: HEY.

HERE'S MAMA.
[ LAUGHS ] HI.

HOW WAS THE PARK?

OH, GREAT.
THAT HOUR WENT BY SO FAST.

DID YOU GET STUFF DONE?

YEAH, IT WAS GOOD
HAVING A QUIET HOUSE.

LOOK, I APPRECIATE YOU LETTING
ME SPEND SOME TIME WITH HIM.

I KNOW THIS WAS
JUST AN EXPERIMENT,

BUT I'D LIKE
TO DO IT AGAIN.

UH, I GOT TO
CHECK MY CALENDAR.

LYDIA, LOOK,
I'VE RAISED THREE DAUGHTERS.

I'M A GOOD FATHER.

ALL RIGHT, LOOK.

HOW ABOUT WE MEET AT PINK'S,
ALL RIGHT?

WE GRAB A HOT DOG, AND
WE JUST -- WE FIGURE
OUT A SCHEDULE.

I NEVER KNOW
HOW MY DAY IS GONNA GO.

I'LL HAVE TO...
SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

ALL RIGHT,
I'LL CALL YOU LATER.

BYE.

[ DOOR CLOSES ]

WILD NIGHT, COOPER?
WHAT'S HIS NAME?

[ LAUGHTER ]

ALL RIGHT, QUIET DOWN.

Dewey: HEY, HEY. WHAT THE HELL
YOU LOOKING AT, NUMBNUTS?

EYES FORWARD, MAN.

WE'RE IN ROLL CALL.
PAY ATTENTION.
ALL RIGHT, LISTEN UP.

WE HAVE A GUEST TODAY,

JUST FINISHED UP HER PROBATION
IN SOUTHWEST,

AND, PER L.A.P.D. TRADITION,

SHE'LL BE PULLING A SHIFT
WITH HER OLD MAN,

HOLLYWOOD DIVISION'S
VERY OWN DEWEY DUDEK,

SO EVERYONE WELCOME
RAE ANN DUDEK.

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

HEY. HEY, I TRIED TO TELL HER,
"BECOME A LAWYER,

A DOCTOR, A FREAKING PORN STAR,
ANYTHING BUT A COP."

BUT DO YOU THINK SHE'D LISTEN?
HELL NO.
YEAH, HOW DISAPPOINTING

THAT I WOULD FOLLOW
IN YOUR FOOTSTEPS.

[ LAUGHS ]
DOESN'T LOOK
A DAMN THING LIKE YOU, DEWEY.

YOU SURE JOAN WASN'T
STEPPING OUT ON YOU, HUH?

HEY, HEY, COME ON, MAN.

SHE'S GOT MY BRAINS,
MY BALLS, AND MY CHARM.

YOUR WINNING PERSONALITY?

I THINK I GOT THE BALLS
FROM MOM'S SIDE.

[ LAUGHTER ]

SPOKEN LIKE A TRUE DUDEK.

Lucero: HOW DOES AN UGLY
SON OF A BITCH LIKE DEWEY
GET SUCH A HOT DAUGHTER?

SHE'S GOT TO BE ADOPTED.
NOT ONLY THAT, SHE'S NORMAL.

HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN?

WELL,
THE KID HAD TO GROW UP FAST.

FOUGHT HARD
NOT TO BE LIKE HER DAD.

JOHN?
SOMEBODY MISS CONFESSION?

I'LL MEET YOU
IN THE PARKING LOT.

I'M SORRY TO SHOW UP,

BUT YOU HAVEN'T BEEN
RETURNING MY CALLS.
BEEN BUSY.

DID YOU GET MY MESSAGES?
YEAH.

HE'S DYING.
HE WANTS TO SEE YOU.

HE RAPED AND MURDERED
MY GIRLFRIEND.

I'LL NEVER DEFEND
WHAT YOUR FATHER DID,

BUT GOD'S WORD
COMMANDS US TO FORGIVE.

MONICA'S FAMILY HAS.

YEAH.

AND THAT AMAZES ME.

I DON'T KNOW
HOW THEY COULD.

CAN'T YOU FIND IT IN YOUR HEART
TO DO THE SAME?

NO.

NO.

"MISSING IN ACTION"
WAS ON LAST NIGHT.

THAT MOVIE'S SO OLD-SCHOOL.
I LOVE IT.

CHUCK NORRIS LIKES HIS MEAT
SO RARE, HE EATS UNICORNS.

A BULLETPROOF VEST WEARS
CHUCK NORRIS FOR PROTECTION.

[ LAUGHS ] I LIKE THAT.
[ CELLPHONE RINGS ]

[ CELLPHONE BEEPS ]
BRYANT.

[ SIREN WAILING ]

REALLY?

WHAT ABOUT THE COMPLAINT?

SO -- SO ALL OF HER ALLEGATIONS,
INCLUDING --

NO. NO, NO, NO,
IT'S TERRIFIC.

THANK YOU. THANKS, MAN.
THANKS FOR THE HEADS-UP.

WHAT'S UP?

THAT WAS
THE CAPTAIN'S AID.

SAID ON THE Q.T.
IT'S SOUNDING LIKE

THE I.A. THING WITH TAMMI,
IT'S ALL JUST GONNA DISAPPEAR.

I TOLD YOU
IT WAS A SLAM DUNK.

SEE? ALL THAT WORRY
OVER NOTHING.

WE FINALLY
REACHED THE FINISH LINE.

YOU HAPPY OR WHAT?

YEAH.
YEAH?

UNH. UNH. HA.

PHILIPPE, MY FAVORITE.

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

WHAT? WHAT?

A BROTHER CAN'T JUST BUY
HIS PARTNER HER FAVORITE PASTRY?

OKAY, MY DAUGHTER --

SHE WANTS TO KNOW
IF YOU WILL BE HER MENTOR

ON A PROJECT
SHE'S DOING FOR SCHOOL.

IT'S AN ASSIGNMENT
ABOUT WOMEN IN LAW ENFORCEMENT.

SHE THINKS YOU'RE A BADASS.
I DON'T KNOW WHY.

WHEN IS IT DUE?

THAT -- UH, TOMORROW.

I KNOW. I'M SORRY.
LOOK, I WAS SUPPOSED TO
ASK YOU A LONG TIME AGO.

I-I JUST FORGOT.

BUT, UH, SHE -- SHE'S COMING IN
LATER ON THIS EVENING,

AND SHE WANTS TO ASK YOU
A FEW QUESTIONS.

IT'LL ONLY TAKE 30 MINUTES,
THOUGH. I PROMISE.

ALL RIGHT, I'LL DO IT FOR YOU,
BUT NOW YOU OWE ME

BREAKFAST FROM PHILIPPE'S
EVERY DAY FOR THE NEXT MONTH.

YES! THANK YOU!

NOW, HERE ARE A FEW QUESTIONS
THAT SHE, UH, PRINTED UP.

SHE WAS HOPING
YOU'D LOOK OVER THOSE,

COME UP WITH THE ANSWERS
IN ADVANCE.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

A36 --
I NEED A SUPERVISOR

AND ANOTHER UNIT AT OUR
LOCATION -- EAST STREET BRIDGE.

WE'RE PROBABLY GONNA
HAVE TO SHUT IT DOWN.
HEY, MAN.

HEY. I'M BEN.
WHAT'S YOUR NAME?

Garrett:
WHY DOES IT MATTER?

SO I KNOW
WHAT TO CALL YOU.

COME ON, MAN,
DON'T DO THIS.

YOU SOUND JUST LIKE
MY PARENTS.

ALWAYS TELLING ME WHAT TO DO
AND NEVER LISTENING.

I KNOW WHAT THAT'S LIKE.

I TRY TO TALK TO THEM.

THEY JUST LOOK AT ME
AND SAY SOMETHING CONDESCENDING,

LIKE, "DON'T BE SO DRAMATIC,
GARRETT."

GARRETT,
HOW ABOUT I CALL THEM?

YOU KNOW, MAYBE I CAN WORK
THINGS OUT BETWEEN YOU GUYS.

THAT'LL BE
A WASTE OF TIME.

COME ON, MAN.
Y-YOU DON'T WANT TO DO THIS.

THERE'S GOT TO BE SOMEBODY
OUT THERE THAT CARES ABOUT YOU.

A-A FRIEND?

MAYBE A BUDDY YOU KNEW
GROWING UP?

JUMP! DO IT, DUDE!
HEY, MOVE ALONG.

Garrett: SEE?
THAT'S HOW PEOPLE SEE ME.

EVEN THE DOG HATES ME.

COME ON, MAN,
THAT'S NOT TRUE.

THE DOG DOESN'T CARE
ABOUT YOU.

YOU KNOW,
I MADE A VOW TO MYSELF --

IF SOMEONE JUST SMILED AT ME
AS I WAS WALKING TO THE BRIDGE,

I WOULDN'T JUMP.

[ HELICOPTER BLADES WHIRRING ]
AND NO ONE DID.

I'M SMILING AT YOU, MAN.

COME ON, GARRETT.
I'M SMILING AT YOU.

DO YOU MEAN IT?

YEAH, YEAH, YEAH,
I MEAN IT.

[ Chuckling ]
COME ON, MAN. COME ON.

GARRETT,
I'M SMILING AT YOU, ALL RIGHT?

ALL RIGHT? HEY.
COME ON. COME ON.

THERE YOU GO.
THERE YOU GO. HEY.

WAIT. WHAT --
WHAT ARE YOU DOING? WHAT ARE --

WHAT -- WHY ARE YOU --
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

LOCK YOUR FINGERS TOGETHER
OVER YOUR HEAD.
WHY ARE YOU CUFFING ME?!

LOCK YOUR FINGERS TOGETHER
OVER YOUR HEAD.

WE HAVE TO, MAN.
IT'S WHAT WE GOT TO DO.
YOU LIED TO ME. YOU LIED!

IT'S WHAT WE GOT TO DO.
IT'S THE JOB.

LOOK LEFT. LOOK LEFT.

FUCK YOU!

FUCK. FUCK.

HEY. HEY!
OW! OW!

FUCK YOU, ASSHOLE!

IN JUMPER SPEAK, I THINK THAT'S
"THANK YOU FOR SAVING MY LIFE."

Newlin: HELLO, HELLO.
HEY.

WHAT'S UP?
ALL RIGHT, D.B. HERE,
COFFEE CART RIGHT OVER THERE.

BEAUTIFUL DAY
IN THE CITY OF ANGELS.

GLAD HE PICKED
SUCH A CONVENIENT PLACE TO DIE.

COME ON, ADAMS. I'VE SEEN YOU
BEFORE YOUR COFFEE.

[ RUBEN LAUGHS ]

WHO FOUND HIM?
AH, WELL, A JOGGER DID.

LOOKS LIKE HE WAS STRANGLED.
DID YOU DO A WORK-UP?

UH, NO WORK-UP.

BUT I SPOKE TO SOME OF THE OTHER
TRANSIENTS AROUND HERE.

NO ONE'S SEEN ANYTHING.
HOW ABOUT I.D.?

NO WALLET, BUT FOUND THIS CARD
LYING RIGHT NEXT TO HIM.

HE WAS PROBABLY
HOLDING IT IN HIS HAND.

MARTIN DEL TORO.

HMM.
HMM.

WE'LL GIVE IT A TRY.

Irene: I HAVE CONTENT FILTERS
ON MY COMPUTER

TO PROTECT MY SON FROM THIS,
AND THEN I COME IN HERE

WHERE I HAVE
$50-A-MONTH MEMBERSHIP FEE

TO HAVE THIS CRAP
THROWN IN HIS FACE?!

THAT SHIRT IS OFFENSIVE!

YOU WANT TO HIDE YOUR KID
FROM HOMOSEXUALITY,

THEN HAVE HIM
JOIN THE BOY SCOUTS!

OH, PLEASE. DON'T TURN THIS
INTO A GAY THING.

AT THIS AGE,
KIDS SHOULDN'T BE EXPOSED

TO ANY KIND OF SEXUALITY!

OKAY, ENOUGH. ENOUGH.

WHAT ARE YOU GUYS
TRYING TO DO HERE?

WHAT IS THAT
SUPPOSED TO MEAN?

LOOK, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT
TO BE WHOEVER YOU WANT TO BE,

BUT DRESSING HER
LIKE THIS?

YOU MAY AS WELL
PUT A SIGN ON HER.

OR A BULL'S-EYE.

HEY, THAT'S INSULTING.
IT'S --

YOU SAYING MICAH SHOULD BE
ASHAMED OF WHO WE ARE?

I DON'T KNOW. SHOULD MICAH
BE ASHAMED OF WHO YOU ARE?

WE WILL TEACH OUR DAUGHTER
WHATEVER WE WANT

AND DRESS HER HOW WE WANT.
LOOK, I GET IT, ALL RIGHT?

BUT MAKING YOUR KID
THE POSTER CHILD

FOR CRAMMING YOUR LIFESTYLE
DOWN OTHER PEOPLE'S THROATS --

NOT COOL, OKAY?
THIS IS A KIDS' PLAY PLACE.

IT'S A PLACE WHERE KIDS
COME TO PLAY.

IT'S NOT THE PRIDE PARADE.

YOU GUYS HAVE ANYTHING ELSE
SHE CAN WEAR?
THAT'S IT.

WE'RE FILING A COMPLAINT
AGAINST BOTH OF YOU.

I'LL HAVE YOUR NAME
AND BADGE NUMBERS.

Ben: JUMPER'S PARENTS
STILL WON'T PICK UP.

NO ANSWERING MACHINE.
IN 2013?
WHO DOESN'T HAVE VOICEMAIL?

I KNOW, RIGHT?

YOU KNOW, YOU LOOKED
LIKE A REAL JACKASS,
STANDING THERE SMILING.

IF IT HAD BEEN YOU TRYING TO
TALK THAT GUY DOWN, YOU'D --

YOUR JACKED-UP GRILL WOULD HAVE
PUSHED HIM RIGHT OVER THE EDGE.

SPEAKING OF
JACKED-UP GRILLS,

THE ONLY PERSON IN L.A.
WITH WORSE TEETH THAN YOU.

AH, TOOTH FAIRY, DAMN.
BEST GUMMERS IN TOWN.

YOU'RE A SICK MAN, SHERMAN.
WHAT'S UP, MAUREEN?

I GOT SOME NEWS.
TODAY'S MY LAST DAY.

Sammy:
I'VE HEARD THAT BEFORE.

IT'S TRUE.
HANGING UP MY HEELS.

HAVING A LITTLE RETIREMENT PARTY
TONIGHT OVER AT SPILKA'S.

[ LAUGHS ]
AH, RETIREMENT PARTY.
OPEN BAR, VERY NICE.

I HOPE YOU CAN MAKE IT.
UH-HUH.

GOOD TO SEE YOU,
SWEETIE.

[ Laughing ] OH, MAN.

WE GOT TO GO TO THIS, IF ONLY
FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT VALUE.

A RETIREMENT PARTY FOR A HOOKER?
NO, THANK YOU.

JUST WHEN YOU THINK
YOU'VE SEEN IT ALL.
YEAH.

MAYBE INSTEAD OF A GOLD WATCH,
SHE'LL GET A GOLD TOOTH.

MAUREEN PROVIDED
EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE

AND ENJOYED EXPOSING HERSELF
TO NEW BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES.

ALWAYS HAD A CAN-DO ATTITUDE
EVEN WHEN BACKED INTO A CORNER.

BIG, SMALL -- THERE WAS NOTHING
SHE COULDN'T HANDLE.

HEY, LOOK, I GOT NO PROBLEM
WITH THE LIPSTICK LESBOS, OKAY?

THAT'S HOT.

IT'S THE DYKE THING,
WHEN THEY GET ALL BUTCH AND SHIT

JUST MAKES MY, YOU KNOW,
BUTT PUCKER.

DYKES, HUH?
YEAH.

YOU DON'T AGREE?

LOOK, I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM
WITH ANYBODY BEING GAY.

I GOT A PROBLEM WITH

THEIR PARENTS FORCING THEM
TO BE THAT WAY.

ALL RIGHT, OKAY.
YOU'RE A BETTER MAN THAN ME.

SHE COULD WIND UP
BEING TRANSGENDER,

BE THE NEXT CHAZ BONO
ON "DANCING WITH THE STARS."

SO, YOU WATCH
"DANCING WITH THE STARS," HUH?

YEAH, MAN. YOU DON'T?

ALL THE SEXY GIRLS
IN THE SKIMPY-ASS COSTUMES, MAN.
YEAH? [ CHUCKLES ]

THAT'S PRETTY GAY.
I MEAN, IT'S...

IT'S PRETTY GAY.

I LEFT ANOTHER MESSAGE
FOR OUR GUY, MARTIN,

THE ONE WHOSE BUSINESS CARD
WE FOUND ON OUR JOHN DOE.

HOPING HE'LL MEET US
AT THE CORONER'S OFFICE.

I WONDER WHO THIS GUY IS,

GIVING HIS NUMBER
TO A TRANSIENT.

A JUNKIE OR JOHN?
MAYBE HE RUNS A SHELTER.

COULD BE A COUNCILMAN

OR AN ACTOR
LOOKING FOR A "BLOW 'N GO."

NEVER CAN TELL IN THIS TOWN.
[ CELLPHONE BEEPS ]

HERE WE GO.
HERE'S OUR GUY.

HE SAID THAT, UH,
HE'LL MEET US,

BUT IT'LL HAVE TO BE
AFTERNOON BECAUSE --

'CAUSE HE'S GOT
A BOARD MEETING.

THIS PLACE HAS THE BEST CHORIZO
IN ALL OF L.A., I SWEAR TO GOD.

IT'S LIKE A SORE DICK.
IT CAN'T BE BEAT!

[ LAUGHTER ]

I BET YOU CAN'T WAIT
TILL END OF WATCH.

[ LAUGHS ]
I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU DID IT,

Man: 23.
SHARING A CAR WITH HIM
ALL THOSE YEARS.

YEAH, I DON'T KNOW
HOW YOU DID IT.

YOU DON'T THINK
I HATED HIS GUTS?

[ LAUGHS ]

ONE DAY, HE CAME HOME...
DRUNK WHEN I WAS LIKE 12.

HE GOT INTO IT WITH MY MOM
AND HIT HER, AND SO SHE BAILED,

AND I CAME DOWN,
BECAUSE I WAS FREAKED OUT,

AND, UH, WHEN HE SAW ME,
HE STARTED CRYING,

AND HE, LIKE,
SUNK DOWN ON THE STAIRS,

AND HE GRABBED ME
AND JUST HUGGED ME -- HARD.

AND I...WANTED TO PUSH HIM AWAY,
YOU KNOW,

BUT IT'S LIKE I'M SCARED OF HIM
AT THIS POINT,

SO I LET HIM,
AND, UH...

IT TURNED OUT THAT,
EARLIER THAT DAY,

A BABY HAD CHOKED
ON A CHICKEN BONE.

HE THOUGHT THAT IF HE HAD DRIVEN
FASTER HE COULD HAVE SAVED IT.

I TOLD MYSELF THAT, UH,

I COULD DO HIS JOB ONE DAY,
AND I COULD DO IT BETTER.

I COULD BE A, UH...
A BETTER COP,

BUT WITHOUT
ALL OF THE COLLATERAL DAMAGE.

YOU'RE GONNA BE JUST FINE.

[ LAUGHS ]
I NEED SOME SAUCE.

Roger: 31.

[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS ]

THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

ENJOY THE SAUCE.

WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?
WHY'D YOU SAY IT LIKE THAT?

YOU DO SOMETHING TO OUR FOOD?
WHAT? YOU'RE TRIPPING, MAN.

WELL, THEN WHY'D YOU SAY IT
THAT WAY?

I WAS TRYING TO BE NICE.
STOP HARASSING ME, MAN.

32.

MAKE US A NEW ORDER.
SAMMY.

NO, NO, NO. HE DID SOMETHING.
LOOK AT THIS FACE.

MAKE US ANOTHER ORDER.
YOU ALREADY
PAID FOR YOUR FOOD.

IT'S AGAINST POLICY
FOR ME TO DO --

MAKE US A NEW ORDER.
WHAT THE FUCK YOU --

YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE MESSED
WITH OUR FOOD, MAN.
I DIDN'T!

OH! WELL --
WELL, THEN, YOU EAT IT.

WHAT? MAN, I'M --
I'M NOT HUNGRY.

HOW ABOUT I HAVE FORENSICS
COME DOWN HERE

AND TEST IT WHILE YOU WAIT
IN THE BACK OF OUR CAR.

HOW ABOUT THAT?

YO, COME ON. YO.

I'LL -- I'LL --
I'LL LOSE MY JOB.

THAT'S IT --
ADMISSION OF GUILT.

YOU SPIT IN OUR FOOD,
YOU LITTLE SHIT, HUH?

WELL, WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO
ABOUT IT, MAN?

HUH? AH!

CHICK BABY GAVE YOU A CHANCE
TO SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT,

BUT YOU BLEW IT --
YOU LITTLE SHIT, YOU BLEW IT.

NOW SAY YOU'RE SORRY
TO CHICK BABY FOR LYING.

Ben: SAMMY.

I'M -- I'M SORRY, CHICK BABY.
I'M SORRY.

MR. DEL TORO,
THANK YOU FOR COMING DOWN.

YEAH,
THE SMELL IS PRETTY BAD.

OH, GOD.
YEAH, I KIND OF KNEW HIM.

H-HIS NAME WAS DOUG OR --
OR DON. WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM?

Ruben:
HE WAS STRANGLED.

HE CAMPED
OUTSIDE THE DOWNTOWN GRILLE.

ONE DAY, I SAW A WAVE
OF BLUE SUITS WALKING PAST HIM.

A WOMAN HIT HIM IN THE EYE
WITH HER BIG GUCCI BAG.

DIDN'T EVEN STOP TO APOLOGIZE.
YOU BELIEVE THAT?

Lydia:
YEAH, ACTUALLY WE CAN.

HE WAS JUST SITTING ON
THE SIDEWALK, DIDN'T
HAVE ANY SHOES ON.

AND I HAD JUST CLOSED
A $60 MILLION DEAL.

IT GETS COLD OUT AT NIGHT.

I THOUGHT
THIS WAS MY CHANCE TO --

I DON'T KNOW --
DO SOMETHING.

I BOUGHT HIM SOME BOOTS.
OH, YEAH? WHAT KIND?

TIMBERLAND,
THE ONES WITH GORE-TEX.

HMM. WHAT DID THEY RUN YOU,
LIKE $220?

SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

WHAT?

Y-YOU DID A GOOD THING,
PROBABLY GAVE HIM SOME HOPE.

WHAT ARE WE DOING OUT OF OUR
DIVISION IN THE MIDDLE OF WATCH?

I GOT SOMETHING
I NEED TO TAKE CARE OF.

YOU GONNA INVITE ME IN?

NO.

[ DOG BARKING IN DISTANCE ]

OKAY.

YOU SHIT. [ GROWLS ]

I GUESS YOU'RE FEELING
PRETTY GOOD ABOUT YOURSELF,

AREN'T YOU,
THINKING YOU'RE GONNA SAVE ME,

YOU COCKY
SON OF A BITCH!

TRUTH IS,
YOU NEED THIS MORE THAN I DO!

OFFICER, I'M BEING HELD HERE
AGAINST MY WILL.

AND I-I NEED MEDICAL ATTENTION.
CALL AN R.A.

I SPENT 33 YEARS
ON THE JOB.

I KNOW WHEN SOMEBODY'S
GOING OFF THE DEEP END.

HE'S CRAZY. YOU GOT TO WATCH
YOUR SIX WITH HIM.

JOHN!
TRUST ME,
I COULD TELL YOU STORIES

THAT'LL MAKE YOUR HAIR CURL!
JOHN!

HOW LONG'S THAT GUY
BEEN CUFFED TO YOUR HOUSE?

NOT LONG ENOUGH.

THAT SHIT IS ILLEGAL.
YOU ARROGANT SON OF A BITCH,
GET BACK HERE!

OUTSIDE.
WHO IS HE?

WHO IS HE?

[ SIGHS ] MY OLD F.T.O.,
AND A RAGING DRUNK.

WORRIED HE MIGHT
EAT HIS GUN.

HEY, SO YOU JUST SET UP YOUR OWN
REHAB FACILITY IN YOUR HOUSE?

HE LOOK LIKE
THE KIND OF GUY

WHO'S GONNA
CHECK HIMSELF INTO COUNTY?

YOU DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT,
ALL RIGHT?

THIS IS ON ME.

"TELL CHICK BABY YOU'RE SORRY"?
WHAT THE HELL, MAN?

THE SITUATION WITH TAMMI
IS FINALLY GOING AWAY,

AND YOU GO
AND PULL THIS SHIT?

WHAT IF SOMEBODY VIDEOS IT?
WHAT IF IT ENDS UP ON YouTube?

YOU REALLY WANT TAMMI
TO LOOK LIKE THE STABLE ONE?

NATE'S TEACHER SAID
HE'S BITING KIDS IN CLASS,

LYING ABOUT IT.

SO WHAT?
SO YOU GO AND DO THIS?

KIDS BITE AT THAT AGE.

HE'S ALWAYS A GOOD KID.

I THOUGHT --
YOU KNOW, IT'S LIKE...
[ CELLPHONE RINGS ]

...THE SITUATION WITH TAMMI IS
HARDER ON HIM THAN I THOUGHT,

AND I THOUGHT
I WAS MANAGING IT.

YEAH. SHERMAN.

ROGER THAT.

WATTERS WANTS US TO DO

A DOOR KNOCK
ON THE JUMPER'S PARENTS' HOUSE.

I GUESS THE HOSPITAL
STILL CAN'T GET AHOLD OF THEM.

[ SIGHS ]

OKAY?

YEAH.

THIS GUY MARTIN
FINALLY OPENS HIS EYES

AND SEES
THERE'S MORE TO THE WORLD

THAN BOARD MEETINGS
AND $6 ESPRESSOS.

BUT A PAIR OF $200 BOOTS
IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD?

I KNOW, RIGHT?
MAN.

MIGHT AS WELL
PUT A TARGET ON HIS BACK.

YOU KNOW,
I WANT TO GO BACK DOWNTOWN

AND SCOPE OUT
THAT RESTAURANT

TO SEE IF ANYBODY'S
WEARING THOSE BOOTS.
ALL RIGHT.

[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]
Sammy: POLICE.

MR. AND MRS. DREW?
POLICE.

[ SIGHS ]

CLEAR.

OKAY.

HEY.

CLEAR.

[ BREATHING HEAVILY ]

[ SIGHS ]

A36 --
REQUEST ADDITIONAL UNITS

AND A SUPERVISOR
TO OUR LOCATION.

WE HAVE A 187 CRIME SCENE.

Ruben: SO, THIS CRACKHEAD
THAT I WAS TALKING TO OUT THERE

SAYS HE'S AN ARTIST.

DIDN'T WANT
ANY HELP GETTING BETTER.

HE JUST WANTS TO GET HIGH
UNTIL HE DIES, DO HIS DRAWINGS.

DID HE HAVE ANY INFO
ON OUR GUY?

NO, BUT HE DID GIVE ME
THIS SKETCH.

DUDE'S GOT SKILLS.
LADY I TALKED TO,

SHE WAS A LIBRARIAN
AT CENTRAL BRANCH.

AND SHE SAYS
OUR VIC'S NAME WAS TOM,

IT WASN'T DOUG OR DON,
AND THAT HE LIVED

IN AN ENCAMPMENT
OFF 110 AND 8th STREET.

MAN,
LOBSTER IN HERE,

SURVIVAL OUT THERE.

IT'S GONNA BE
37 DEGREES TONIGHT.

I DON'T KNOW
HOW THE HELL THEY DO IT.

DID YOU LOOK FOR
ANYBODY WEARING BOOTS?

NO. THOSE BOOTS
ARE LONG GONE BY NOW.

DON'T BE
SUCH A PESSIMIST.

HAVE YOU SEEN THIS GUY?

NO,
I DON'T THINK I HAVE.

EXCUSE ME. HAVE YOU --
DO YOU KNOW THIS GUY?

YEAH, THAT'S RON.
YEAH.

HE KEPT HIS STUFF
OVER THERE.

THANK YOU.

HE SAID THIS WAS HIS SPOT
RIGHT HERE.

[ COUGHS ]
OH, HEY, YEAH,
THIS IS HIM.

HMM?
TOM, RON, DOUG.

MAN, THAT PICTURE
LOOKS LIKE A LIFETIME AGO.

MAN, DUDE WAS ACTUALLY
KIND OF HANDSOME.

SERIOUSLY? THAT --
THAT -- THAT'S YOUR
CRIME-SOLVING STRATEGY?

WELL,
AT LEAST I HAVE ONE.

YOU KNOW,
IF I DIDN'T KNOW BETTER,

I'D THINK THAT YOU WERE GETTING
LAZY OR YOU JUST DIDN'T CARE.

WHAT? WHAT -- WHAT --
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO?

YOU WANT TO SET UP A CHECKPOINT,
WATCH PEOPLE AS THEY WALK BY?

WE HAVE A BETTER CHANCE OF
FINDING A NEEDLE IN A HAYSTACK.

WELL, IF YOU KNOW
THAT IT'S IN THE HAYSTACK,

WHY NOT KEEP LOOKING?
EVENTUALLY YOU'LL FIND IT.

I'M GONNA GO OVER HERE
AND CHECK THIS HAYSTACK.

Maureen:
I DIDN'T RECOGNIZE SOME OF YOU,

PROBABLY 'CAUSE
YOU'RE WEARING CLOTHES.

[ LAUGHTER ]

[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS ]

Y'ALL ARE PROBABLY WONDERING

WHY I SPENT 30
YEARS ON THE STREETS.

I DID IT FOR MY BABIES...

TO GIVE 'EM A BETTER LIFE.

KENDRA'S THE HEAD WAITRESS
AT POLLY'S PIES NOW,

AND JOSH IS STUDYING BUSINESS
AT THE J.C.

THEY'RE TOO BUSY
TO BE HERE, BUT...

MY YOUNGEST, RENE, CAME.

AND SHE'S REAL INVOLVED WITH
THE BOYS & GIRLS CLUBS.

COME ON UP HERE, RENE!

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

BUT IT WASN'T EASY.

MADE SOME HARD CHOICES.

BUT YOU -- YOU DO IT
AS A MEANS TO AN END.

BUT IT WAS WORTH IT, RIGHT?

Man:
LOVE YOU, MAUREEN.

TELL ME IT WAS WORTH IT.

[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]

[ SIREN CHIRPS ]

Dewey: OKAY, SET IT DOWN,
SET IT DOWN, SET IT DOWN.

OHH!
[ ELECTRICITY CRACKLES ]

GOD! HEY!

HEY, S-SON,
DON'T GET OUT OF THE --

DON'T GET OUT OF THE WAGON,
OKAY?

KID'S NANNY --
KID'S NANNY TRIED TO HELP HIM.

GOT ELECTROCUTED AS SOON AS
SHE STEPPED IN THE WATER.

EDISON GUY WON'T BE HERE
FOR ANOTHER 20 MINUTES.

DON'T MOVE. DON'T MOVE.
WE'RE COMING AT YOU.

GET SOME MORE OF THOSE
OVER HERE NOW!

OH, MY GOD, TYLER!
TYLER!
NO, LADY! LADY!

MOMMY'S HERE!
[ SCREAMS ]

DO SOMETHING! DO SOMETHING!
HELP HIM!

HANG ON TO HER!
OKAY.

TAKE IT EASY. TAKE IT EASY.
THAT'S MY SON!

IT'S OKAY.
GET UP, GET UP, GET UP.

NO! NO, IT'S MY SON!
IT'S NOT SAFE.
HE'S GONNA BE OKAY.

IT'S NOT SAFE.
IT'S NOT SAFE.

Dewey: NO, NO, NO, NO.
STAY DOWN, OKAY?

STAY DOWN!

WE'LL BE RIGHT THERE!
JUST STAY DOWN!

[ SIRENS WAILING ]

[ ENGINE TURNS OVER ]

WHAT'S HE DOING, MAN?

[ DOG BARKING ]

COOP,
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!

STAY RIGHT THERE,
BUDDY.

ALL RIGHT.
COME ON, BUD. LET'S GO.

WHOA.
JUST LIKE
CLIMBING IN A TREE HOUSE.

YEAH!
[ APPLAUSE ]

COME ON, BUDDY.

WHOO!

I WANT MY MOMMY.
YOU WANT YOUR MOMMY?

Ben: MEET A LOT OF PEOPLE
WHO SAY THEY'RE DOING IT
FOR THE KIDS,

BUT MAUREEN REALLY PUT HER MONEY
WHERE HER MOUTH WAS.

[ Laughing ] OR HER MOUTH
WHERE THE MONEY WAS.

WHAT THE HELL IS
THE MATTER WITH YOU?

YOU'RE ACTING
LIKE AN ASSHOLE.

YOU'RE THE ONE
THAT'S GOT PROBLEMS, MAN.

THE WHOLE FIGHT WITH TAMMI
IS ON TAPE, OKAY?

THAT'S WHAT IT IS.
WHAT?

THE WHOLE FIGHT WITH TAMMI
IS ON TAPE.
WHAT?

I HAVE BEEN LYING
THIS ENTIRE TIME

A-ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED
WITH TAMMI.

I LIED TO YOU.
I LIED TO I.A.

I DIDN'T TOSS VICTOR'S CAMCORDER
INTO THE GUTTER.

NO. I TOOK IT.

[ LAUGHS ]
YOU THINK I DIDN'T KNOW THAT?

YOU THINK I DIDN'T KNOW
THERE WAS A TAPE?

I SAW YOU TAKE THE CAMCORDER.
I SAW YOU.

WHY THE HELL
DIDN'T YOU SAY ANYTHING?

WHOSE SIDE
DO YOU THINK I'M ON?

YOU'RE MY PARTNER.
I GOT YOUR BACK.

THERE'S A TAPE. SO WHAT?
GET RID OF IT.

SMASH IT WITH A --
SMASH IT WITH A HAMMER.

YEAH,
I'VE BEEN MEANING TO,

EXCEPT FOR I CAN'T STOP MYSELF
FROM WATCHING IT.

SAMMY,
WE'RE IN THE CLEAR HERE.

ALL YOU GOT TO DO
IS KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT.

I FEEL LIKE SHIT ABOUT IT,
OKAY?
SO, WHAT?

YOU'RE GONNA GIVE IT BACK
BECAUSE OF SOME HOOKER'S SPEECH?
LIKE THE WEIGHT OF THE WORLD
ON MY SHOULDERS.

ARE YOU FUCKING --

WE LIED TO THE DEPARTMENT
UNDER OATH.

I LIED FOR YOU!

WE'RE BOTH GONNA LOSE OUR JOBS,
AND YOU'RE GONNA LOSE YOUR KID.

IT JUST DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT.

YOU WALKED ON WATER TODAY,
J.C.

HEY, I'M BUYING A ROUND
AT THE TEN RING TONIGHT

TO CELEBRATE
JOHNNY'S HEROICS.
NOT TONIGHT, MAN.

I THOUGHT IT WAS CELEBRATING
MY GETTING OFF PROBATION.

ISN'T THAT I JUST SAID?
[ Laughing ] NO, IT IS NOT.

I DID.
I JUST SAID THAT.

NOW WHAT? YOU WANT ME TO READ
THE EULOGY AT HIS FUNERAL?

[ SIGHS ]

YOUR FATHER
HAS SOME MONEY

HE WANTS TO DONATE
TO OUR CHURCH.

HE SAYS HE WON'T SIGN THE PAPERS
UNLESS YOU GO SEE HIM.

I THINK HE WANTS TO MAKE PEACE
WITH YOU.

A MONSTER GETS TO UNBURDEN
HIMSELF, SO YOU CAN CASH IN?

JOHN, YOU KNOW ME.

IF I THOUGHT THAT'S ALL IT WAS,
I WOULDN'T ASK IT OF YOU.

IF NOT FOR HIM,
DO IT FOR YOURSELF.

YOU'LL REGRET IT
IF YOU DON'T.

Marina: QUESTION NUMBER SIX --
HOW DO YOU NOT LOSE HOPE?

[ SCOFFS ]
WHO SAYS I DON'T LOSE HOPE?

SEE, THESE?
THEY'RE MURDER BOOKS.

AND OUR SHELVES
ARE FILLED WITH THEM.

I'LL SOLVE A CASE,
SEND THE BOOK DOWN TO ARCHIVES,

AND THEN FOUR NEW ONES
WILL POP UP ON MY DESK.

IF IT WAS YOUR LOVED ONE
IN THIS STACK,

WOULDN'T YOU WANT ME
TO KEEP LOOKING?

THAT'S HOW
I GET MY HOPE BACK.

"AND THE CAPED CRUSADER FOILED
THE EVIL FELINE FELON'S PLAN."

[ LAUGHS EVILLY ]

THE END.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?

HUH?

HEY, NATE, UH...

YOUR TEACHER TOLD ME THAT
YOU WERE BITING KIDS AT SCHOOL.

IS THAT TRUE?

DON'T LIE TO DADDY.

YOU CAN'T...
[ SIGHS ]

Y-YOU CAN'T LIE.

GOOD BOYS DON'T LIE.

[ BUZZER ]

[ BREATHING HEAVILY ]

[ CHUCKLES ]

[ Weakly ]
SURPRISED YOU CAME.

IT MUST HAVE BEEN HARD.

I USED TO PRAY FOR YOU.

HAD MY PRAYERS
BEEN ANSWERED,

NONE OF THIS
WOULD HAVE EVER HAPPENED.

CAN ONLY IMAGINE
HOW YOU SUFFERED

BECAUSE OF WHAT I DID.

I'VE THOUGHT
ABOUT IT A LOT.

KNOW THIS, JOHN.

I DID MY SHARE OF SUFFERING,
TOO.

WATCHING YOU WITH MONICA...
HURT ME.

YOU NEVER GAVE HER
WHAT SHE DESERVED.

S-SO I HAD TO GIVE HER
WHAT YOU COULDN'T.

I USED TO PRAY
YOU WOULD KILL YOURSELF

BECAUSE I RATHER
WOULD HAVE SEEN YOU DEAD...

THAN HAD A FAGGOT FOR A SON.

MY DAD -- I DON'T KNOW.

HE'S SELF-MEDICATED
HIS WHOLE LIFE.

HE EMBRACED HIS ILLNESS.

HE NEVER WANTED TO
GET ANY BETTER.

HMM.
YOU STILL TALK TO HIM?

UH, YEAH,
I DON'T KNOW.

HE CHECKS IN
EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE,

BUT I GOT NO LOVE FOR HIM,
YOU KNOW?

I'M DONE WITH THAT.
YEAH.

YEAH. [ CHUCKLES ]
WHAT?

WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS,
MR. 90210, HUH?

YEAH.
YEAH, YOU DON'T KNOW NOTHING.

WHAT, YOU PLAY RACQUETBALL
WITH YOUR DADDY

AND DRINK MIMOSAS
EVERY SUNDAY, HUH?

BLOODY MARYS.

OH. EXCUSE ME.
[ CHUCKLES ]

AND, UH, YEAH, WE DON'T REALLY
GET ALONG EITHER.

[ DOOR OPENS ]
REALLY?

MM.
Moco: YO! YO!

IT'S THE COP
THAT WAS FLOSSING HIS CHONIES

AT MI HERMANA'S CRIB.
BABY, LET'S GO.

WHAT?
LET'S GO. I DON'T WANT TO
DEAL WITH THIS SHIT.

NO, IT'S OKAY.
BABY, COME ON.

Moco: HEY, YOU GONNA
BUY US SOME DRINKS?

LEAST YOU CAN DO,
BANGING MY SIS.

WHOA, MAN.

GOT SOMETHING TO SAY?

YOU THINK I'M ONE
OF THOSE SQUARE COPS

YOU CAN FUCK WITH?

YEAH.
ALL RIGHT.

YOUR SISTER AND I,
WE GOT A THING GOING.

NOW,
I GOT NO BEEF WITH YOU.

YOU SHOW ME RESPECT,
I'LL RESPECT YOU.

WE COOL?

YEAH. WE COOL.

ENJOY YOUR NIGHT.

I WANT CHRISTOPHER TO RUN TRACK,
LIKE THE TWO OF US.

NOT HURDLES.
REMEMBER THAT TIME

YOU ALMOST BROKE YOUR NECK
TRYING TO IMPRESS ME?

I FELL ON PURPOSE,
AND IT WORKED.

YOU CAME RUNNING DOWN
THOSE BLEACHERS TO CHECK ON ME.

[ CHUCKLES ]

SILLY. [ CHUCKLES ]

I'M GLAD YOU CAME.

SO, THIS SCHEDULE
WITH CHRISTOPHER...

WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?

I BOUGHT
A NEW CAR SEAT,

SO I CAN TAKE HIM TUESDAY,
THURSDAY AFTERNOONS,

IF THAT WORKS FOR YOU.

YEAH, THAT COULD WORK.

[ HORNS HONKING ]

Driver: YOU STUPID!
YOU CUT ME OFF!

WHAT?
YOU DRIVE LIKE SHIT!

[ INDISTINCT SHOUTING ]

YOU CALL YOURSELF
A TAXI DRIVER?

LYDIA, LOOK,
IT IS NOT WORTH IT.

LET SOMEONE ELSE
DEAL WITH THIS.

I WILL CALL 911.
Woman: HEY!

HEY!
FORGET ABOUT IT --

HEY!
HEY, THAT'S ENOUGH!

POLICE! THAT'S ENOUGH!
FUCKING BITCH!

BACK UP! POLICE!
BACK UP! BACK UP! BACK UP!
HEY! HEY!

BACK UP! ARE YOU OKAY?

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
YEAH.

I THINK SO.

[ DOOR OPENS ]

[ KEYS JINGLE ]

I PISSED MY PANTS.

I HOPE
IT RUINS YOUR FLOOR.

[ SNIFFS ]

WE CAN TALK NOW.

YOU GOING TO THE BAR?

YOU GONNA TALK TO ME NOW
ABOUT BEING A DRUNK?

YOU REALLY WANT TO TALK TO ME
ABOUT ADDICTION?

TRAINING BOOTS WHEN YOU WERE
STONED OUT OF YOUR MIND.

[ CHUCKLES ]

I'M RETIRED,
AND I HEARD ABOUT IT.

EVERYONE KNOWS ABOUT IT.

SPENT MY LIFE
HELPING OTHER PEOPLE.

YOU KNOW WHAT I GOT
IN RETURN?

A SHIT SANDWICH,
EXTRA SIDE OF SHIT.

[ LAUGHS ]

WHEN YOU PUNCH OUT,

YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO FEEL LIKE
YOU LIVED A MEANINGFUL LIFE.

YOU...
[ SNIFFS ]

...DID SOME GOOD.

YOU HAD AN IMPACT
ON YOUR GUYS.

I...

[ CHUCKLES ]

BUT THEN, AFTER A WHILE,
PEOPLE STOP CALLING.

THEY STOP DROPPING BY.

NOBODY WANTS TO HEAR
ABOUT YOUR OLD CAPERS.

AND THEN BARB GOT...
SICK.

[ SIGHS ]

[ SNIFFLES, SIGHS ]

IN THE ACADEMY,
THEY, UH...

IT STARTS THERE.
[ CHUCKLES ]

THEY BEAT IT INTO YOU

THAT YOU'RE ALWAYS
SUPPOSED TO BE IN CONTROL.

[ CHUCKLES ]

CONTROL.

I PUT UP SO
MANY DAMN WALLS THAT I...

I COULDN'T EVEN HUG HER
AND TELL HER

THAT SHE WAS
GONNA BE OKAY...

WHEN SHE WAS DYING.

HA! CONTROL.

AND ALL I'VE GOT
IS A SHADOW BOX --

DOESN'T MEAN SHIT.

AND A STOOL AT THE BAR

RIGHT NEXT TO THE ASSHOLES
I USED TO ARREST.

YOU HAD
AN IMPACT ON ME.

DON'T BULLSHIT ME,
JOHNNY.

I WAS A P2 PUP.

SO WAS MY PARTNER.

ONE NIGHT, WE GOT A SHOT-UP D.B.
LYING IN A COURTYARD.

DIDN'T KNOW
WHERE THE SUSPECT WAS,

THERE WAS A BLOOD TRAIL
FROM THE VICTIM'S APARTMENT.

THE NEIGHBORS SAID
THAT THEY THOUGHT

THAT THE DEAD GUY'S KIDS
WERE STILL INSIDE.

I WAS...SCARED.

I WAS SO SCARED.

I COULD SEE THE FEAR
IN THE OTHER OFFICERS' FACES.

AND THEN YOU ROLLED UP.

AND WHEN I SAW YOU...

I KNEW
I WAS GONNA BE OKAY.

[ Voice breaking ]
THAT I COULD DO IT.

YOU WERE LIKE A GOD
TO ME.

[ SNIFFLES ]

[ Voice breaking ]
I WAS GOOD ONCE, WASN'T I?

YEAH.
YEAH.

[ SOBS ]

I DON'T KNOW
HOW I GOT HERE.

WHEW.

OHH-HOO-HOO.
[ INHALES DEEPLY ]

THIS IS NOT
HOW IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE.

NO, SIR. WHEW.

AND YOU ARE NOT GOING OUT
LIKE THIS, OLD MAN.

I'M NOT LETTING YOU.

I'M NOT LETTING YOU.

[ SOBBING ]

[ CRYING ]
