Southland

What the hell is wrong with you? You crazy?!

Screw it.

Police officers often find themselves frustrated

by the limitations of the legal system.

Sometimes cops have to improvise.

Where's your holiday spirit at, eh, Bryant?

Christmas was a week ago, knucklehead.

What are you two doing hanging around together?

You've been stepped, right?

You got caught slippin', fool.

I'm still mad at her, but I'm gonna go ahead

and give her this point-and-shoot camera to make up.

I was gonna get it for her stocking,

but I hit the limit on my card.

What kind of camera you lookin' for, eh, Holmes?

One that's not stolen.

Hey, why don't you come over tonight?

The whole family's gonna be there -- tamales, pozole.

It's little Pete's birthday.

Hey, my grandma used to make pozole, too, eh?

That's great, Holmes. Turn around.

I thought Pete just had a birthday.

Ah, that was big Pete, my cousin.

All right, get the out of here.

Merry belated Christmas!

You gonna come or what?

I don't know. I'm still pissed off, man.

Ah, get over it, man.

It's Tammi. Tammi's Tammi, right?

Yeah.

Hey, it's John Cooper.

I'm, uh, out of refills.

Yeah, could you have the doctor give me a call

when he gets a chance?

As soon as you can.

You all right?

They said it might snow tonight.

Northridge, la Cañada, Thousand Oaks.

Higher elevations. Nothing down here.

Your back acting up again?

What did you do for New Year's?

My sister Olivia got engaged.

You remember that idiot Ward?

We pulled him over in the Ferrari that time?

You with me?

Nope.

That's tragic.

A-43, see the man at 300 South Hill --

a missing-person report.

Show us handling.

Let's go.

My mom always comes home. Always.

Two days now.

I know in my heart something's wrong.

A-and I call this man 10, 20 times.

So I come here, and he tells me to leave!

No.

I-I-I wish to file a complaint!

Does her mother work here? Yes or no.

Yeah, she works here,

but her next shift is Friday.

She hasn't missed any work,

so...How am I supposed to know if she's missing?

Why should I call the cops?

'Cause her daughter is upset,

and the woman hasn't been seen

since her last shift in this building, two nights ago,

that's why.

She have a locker here?

Show us.

I got to be responsible for every broad who takes off?

She's probably with her boyfriend.

Does your mother have a boyfriend?

Locker. Now.

Women don't leave their purses.

Call the Detectives.

All right, I'm gonna need a list

of everyone who had access to this building during her shift.

She was a cleaner here, right?

Everyone who had a reason to be here.

You know how much work that will be?

Do I look like I give a shit?

So, how's your partner?

Big.

Takes up a lot of oxygen

and flirts with the suspects all the time,

on the phone with her kids all the time.

Won't let me drive.

Oh. How's that working out?

The last time you let me drive,

I thought you were gonna shit a kidney.

She thinks Starbucks is too expensive,

but she gets her nails done every other day.

No mocha fraps?

How do you get through the day?

And she just decides where we're gonna go for lunch.

Doesn't even bother to ask me.

You never asked me.

Never? Uh, no.

Well, that's because

you would have us at Taco Bell every shift.

Right.

Can I get some cream?

So, um, what's it like humping the pine

in the Captain's office?

I think I'm gonna get a callus on my index finger

from pressing the print button on the copier.

But nobody's shooting at me.

Oh, can I have some of that?

I might go to the Academy Awards.

Really?

Yeah. She gets tickets from the chief.

Well, that's cool.

Eh.

What's up with the medical pension?

The board's got to schedule a hearing.

They say that it might take a year.

Anything good?

Um, doesn't say.

It's downtown.

Um, I'll call you later?

Yeah.

Estella, I need you to go home, okay?

Let us find your mother.

Can you guys give her a ride home?

I know this is hard, but we're gonna find your mother.

She never left the building.

She never punched out,

and you didn't think there was a problem?

I didn't know she didn't punch out.

How many times did the daughter say she called?

About 20. Mm.

So, do you have something to be nervous about?

Illegal workers?

I hire the cleaning companies. They hire the workers.

I don't ask any questions.

I bet you don't.

Okay, what about the security cameras?

Memory dumps every 24 hours.

Why?

If something happens, we save it.

We've got over 100 cameras. They use up a lot of memory.

Have you received any complaints about people doing stuff...

You know, like exposing themselves to women, stalking?

Anything like that?

No. I run a clean ship.

K-9 unit's downstairs.

Tell them to go to her locker

and get the dog to smell some of her clothes

and then come up here. Yeah.

So, how much does memory cost, anyway?

What?

I just bought a memory stick at Best Buy

to back up my laptop.

That thing's smaller than a lipstick,

and it's got like two trillion gigabits.

Got a light?

Yeah.

There you go.

Here.

Watch your hands. Go.

Make sure you bag her hands.

Can you imagine being up here in the middle of the night,

all alone?

I got the names of the guards and the cleaning people

that were on duty.

Good. Call the security people first.

And, uh, we have to do the notification.

You coming?

What do you got?

Two victims, Hispanic males.

They're gang-tatted up, so we called you.

Hands tied. They're both shot in the back of the head.

I don't see any evidence of any exit wound.

Who found 'em?

Guy from parks and rec.

Said he saw a bunch of crows and some dogs.

Thought he should check it out. Huh.

Shit.

First Street. Yep.

There's no drag marks.

They were shot someplace else. They were dumped here.

Yeah, it's pretty fresh.

They can't have been here for very long.

Is this your regular area?

Mm-hmm.

Anybody hang out around here?

Homeless, kids playing?

We chase cars out of here pretty regularly.

Mostly underage drinking.

There's some homeless set up under the 5.

Do you write any shakes on the drinkers? Sometimes.

Can you get those to us, maybe ask some of the homeless guys

if they saw anything last night? Okay.

Thank you.

So, what do you think, bro?

Get caught skimming off the corner?

Or a snitch killing.

Dogs. Damn.

Couple hours ago, little buddy's ripping flesh off a dead guy.
