Previously on Southland...

What, you're turning me in?

You're damn right I am.

The hell?!

Stop the car right now!

He's going to the farm.

He can dry out.

This sucks.

Hey, he could've killed you.

There's no place to hide.

You will be on TV.

One bullet hole in the back.

It's a clean wound.

Shooter probably used a nine millimeter.

Can you get the coroner so we can flip her over?

Any other visible

marks or bruises?

None that I can see.

All right.

On three.

One, two, three.

Pretty girl.

I'd say she's 19, 20.

Burn marks on her mouth.

Crack pipe?

Yep, probably so.

Burn marks on her fingers, too.

Can you get shots of both of these?

Every victim has a story.

Detective Lydia Adams has seen this one before.

Go talk to Weezy.

Hey, guys.

This is Ray.

Ray, this is Nate and Sammy.

How you doing?

Owner of the house says he was leaving for work at 6:00,

found the girl lying in his yard, already dead.

We can probably get a time of death from the coroner.

Did he recognize her?

No.

Found this in the bushes, two houses down.

No wallet, just a set of keys.

And a school I.D.

S.U.L.A., Nicole Hill.

Guess she took a wrong turn

coming outside the library, huh?

Big party at a gang house down the block.

We know the kid, Weezy, from Pyro Bloods.

I'll go talk to him.

All right.

Pardon me, did you hear anything last night?

Gunshots maybe?

Please, on this block?

Every night I hear gunshots.

I wear earplugs.

Well, maybe you saw something then.

Somebody chasing the girl, something?

See no evil, hear no evil, do no evil.

The only good thing I ever learned from the Bible.

Okay. Actually, it's, uh, "see no evil,

"hear no evil, speak no evil."

And it's Buddhist.

They're so sweet when they sleep.

Wake up, Weezy!

Weezy, wake up!

Morning! What the fuck?!

What you fuckers doing in my house?

A girl got killed outside your house, man.

Who did it?

I ain't seen it.

I was inside.

What'd she do, cheat on you?

Did she steal your money?

Man, I ain't even know that bitch.

I just heard about it.

You arresting him?

No, ma'am.

Just having a conversation.

He don't conversate unless he have to.

He have to?

No ma'am.

Then get out my house!

Dewey in rehab.

I can't wait to see what this looks like.

Rehab.

It's more like a freakin' spa with a bunch of ex-addicts

walking around in flip flops

and yammering about their higher power.

You've been there before?

Yeah, I visited.

Tell Dewey he owes me a plate of tacos!

Tell that bastard even I miss him!

You know you're gonna be stuck going to that funeral with me.

It's your last chance to get out of it.

I'm good.

All right, don't say I didn't warn you.

Death and drunks in the desert.

Some day.

Hey, hey!

Get the hell out of here, man, what are you doing?!

Get out!

I got shell casings.

I got some shoes over here.

Nicole was barefoot.

Maybe she kicked them off trying to run.

What'd you guys find out from party boy?

He loves his grandma.

Two shell casings.

The shooter fired here and then here.

Victim only had one bullet wound.

That means either the shooter missed

or there's a second victim.

We'll check the hospitals.

We'll head north, Kenny and Andy can go south.

That was fast.

I guess our crackhead murder just got an upgrade.

Yeah, now it's the tragic death

of a promising S.U.L.A. student.

Mr. Hill?

Yeah, that's me.

I'm Detective Adams. This is Detective Suarez.

I see you used to run track.

Actually, they all do, except me.

Our oldest daughter, Michelle,

won the bronze medal in the Olympics.

You must've been proud.

And Nicole has set several records

for the S.U.L.A. team already.

Leslie, enough.

Um, I don't mean to be rude,

but you ain't come here to talk track.

No, we didn't.

We're here about Nicole.

Our baby.

I'm sorry to have to tell you this,

but Nicole was killed.

No!

: Oh, no!

Oh, no!

How?

She was shot, sir. Oh!

On campus?

No, about half a mile from here on Slauson.

She was in the neighborhood.

Is that unusual?

Our daughters did not socialize in this neighborhood.

When was the last time you saw Nicole?

A month or so ago.

She's so busy with track practice and school...

Did you notice a change in that time?

Mention any new friends?

She was seeing someone.

A football player at school, Tyler.

Tyler Prescott?

The linebacker for the Tigers?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's from the projects.

But Nicole lived in the dorms.

What could I do?

: Oh, God!

Two parents, good home, a free ride to S.U.L.A....

This girl had no excuses.

She just blew it.

You always this hard on the victim?

You know how it is around here.

Dads are either in jail or on drugs.

And Mr. Hill worked a hard job for a long time to make sure

those girls got out of this neighborhood.

Nicole still ended up on the wrong side of Slauson.

In my neighborhood, the street was Lincoln.

It was the dividing line, right?

Growing up, my mom would be like, "Do not cross Slauson."

But now there's gangs on both sides of the line.

So, you grew up around here.

King 54, there were shots fired

in the vicinity of 36th and Budlong.

This unit's not involved.

Yeah, I grew up around here.

What are you looking for?

Someone with gang tats acting shady about what happened.

Door number three, enjoy.

Thank you.

Oh, no, what happened to you, ese?

You get shot?

Yeah, blew my ear off.

Ouch, who shot you?

He did.

He tried to kill himself.

And missed?

Let me guess, you put the gun behind your ear,

but then you just flinched a little bit

before you pulled the trigger, right?

She said she was gonna break up with me.

Ain't worth livin' without her.

It's gonna be all right, baby.

I saved the ear.

Wanna get something to eat?

Tyler Prescott, that football player Nicole was dating,

he was arrested last year.

Assaulted a woman at a bar.

Hmm, black eye, bruises on her neck.
