Clear right.

Jesus Christ.

Where is he? Where is he?!

The city of Los Angeles

is made up of over 100 separate and distinct

ethnic, racial, and religious communities.

L.A. cops have to navigate all of them

if they want to survive.

Mm. Mm.

Mm.

What are you doing? Do you mind?

No one's gonna believe me.

Oh, yeah? Okay.

Mm.

- Okay. All right, all right. - Enough of that.

If you, um...

feel like, uh...

playing rough...

I'm into it.

Hmm.

You are that guy from the video, right?

Do you have it on here?

Bookmarked.

...Dancing.

- Sammy! - Get your hands off of her! No!

Yeah! Oh! Oh! Oh!

Get back. Get back.

Indistinct shouting ]

What are you doing?!

Down she goes.

Last time that girl ever mouths off to a cop.

Very nice. Very nice.

Two sugars. Splash of 2%. Enjoy.

Thanks for coming out. Seriously. I mean it.

Good morning, asshole.

Hell, no!

Oh. Oh, hell, yeah.

Parking enforcement on the warpath.

The fact that they just happened to cite

every vehicle owned by a Two-Trey,

skipped all the rest -- that part's a little weird.

But I don't know.

Hey, you need to fix this! You hear me?

- I'm talking to you, bitch! - Hey.

You ain't stupid, Bryant.

Why you refuse to accept it's my hood?

Everything you see is mine.

I doubt your neighbors would agree.

Neighbors?

Neighbors are scenery. They trees.

And your visiting rights is being revoked.

I'm not going anywhere.

File enough complaints on your ass, they got to move you.

Yeah, you want to know the difference between me

and everybody else in your shitty, little world?

I ain't afraid of you, dawg.

Hey.

Nice eye.

Good shiner, huh?

Well, you were right about that place.

Did a great job. Thing was torn to shreds.

I didn't think they could salvage it.

How you feeling?

I could go another 12 rounds.

Yeah. I'm sore as hell. That dude was strong.

Yeah, he was freak-strong.

Felt good.

Real good.

So, which "Ben bunny" was it last night?

Come on, man. I got a kid at home.

I'm living vicariously. You're my --

you're my boots on the ground.

Uh, the brunette.

Oh, man, I got to get a sitter.

Yeah, and some new clothes, a haircut,

and a garden-variety divorcée makeover.

You and me in Castaic. Me as your wingman.

It'll never be the same.

Have you given any more thought to moving out there?

My realtor is standing by.

Ooh, the hard sell. You getting a cut?

Well, not -- not necessarily.

Parking tickets for the entire block?

You have double-digit complaints on you,

and you just keep pouring gas on the fire.

It was a thing of beauty.

Community policing means putting up with these assholes

until we have a legitimate reason to put them away,

not peppering them with bullshit.

The bastard is robbing from his own gang,

raping their girlfriends.

Okay. Droit du seigneur.

Medieval kings used to have the right

to go at the bride before the groom.

Crawford may be a shit bag, but he's Southwest's shit bag.

Wait. He's snitching?

Already come through with a few actionable tips.

So, now he makes a few Southwest detectives look good,

and the rest of his neighborhood suffers?

I don't like it any better than you,

but you need to stand down.

Yes, sir.

I'm counting on you to keep him in check.

We've heard hood day for the Two-Treys

will be at the old roller rink on Central.

Now, I know hood day

is everyone's favorite way to nab a felon or two.

All the rats meeting up at the cheese.

Not today.

We're getting too many complaints.

I'm posting a car across the street --

Bryant, Sherman -- to keep it contained,

but we're going to leave them be.

Weber Charter over on Normandie got cleaned out last night.

Everything not bolted down got taken --

computers, smart boards, toilet paper.

Keep an ear out.

And last, every dumb shit in this city has a camera,

and they all think they're Spielberg.

Be sure the decisions you make on the street

are ones you can live with for the rest of your lives.

100,000 hits on YouTube. Going viral, baby.

- Nice. Good job! - Classic!

Let's go to work!

What's that?

Practicing my speech for tonight.

Hey, you mind if I... Try it out on you?

Shoot.

Welcome to Gabrielle's quinceañera.

Angela and I cannot believe that our baby is 15.

Tonight, she steps out as a full-grown woman

in the community.

We are so proud.

Good. Yeah?

But, um, you should, you know, loosen up a little.

Put a little emotion into it.

Emotion. I'm so nervous.

You have no idea how important this is to my wife's family.

They are all about la raza.

Maria Marburo, age 41.

- That's her in the weeds. - Thank you.

Huh. That's her chariot.

She was killed somewhere else

and moved here in that shopping cart.

Look at that.

"ABC."

"Always be closing." It's the hustler's mantra.

Hmm. Look at the tan lines. She wore a lot of bling.

Robbery.

Wasn't quick, and it wasn't painless.

Whoever did this had a lot of rage inside them.

Call about a burglary?

Yeah, yeah. He's still here.

- He's still here? - Where is he?

- Uh, he -- I -- upstairs, I think. - There's just one?

Yeah, it's just one guy.

Okay. Go ahead.

Stop, asshole!

You know, my old partner --

he would have jumped.

Oh, shit.

Oh -- my dad.

What's going on? Why are you here, officers?

We're responding to a burglary call.

Uh, is this your home, sir?

A burglary call?

Rebecca, is this your doing?

Is what my doing? We just got robbed, okay?

I was... Standing in the kitchen

when this creep walked right through the living room,

just grabbing everything in sight --

Bubbie's candlesticks, her menorah, our kiddush cups.

- I -- - Did you flag them down or call?

What if he had seen me?

I-I could have been raped or killed.

Did you use the telephone or not?

I -- y-yes. Yes!

I dialed 911. A shanda.

How could you do this to us? You have no respect.

I've taken her report, sir,

and, uh, you can call the detectives in a couple of days.

Just put it down.

What are you more upset about --

that somebody just stole our family heirlooms

or that I broke the Sabbath to call the police?

We had no control of the crime that thief committed,

but your crime --

I'm not just gonna sit back and be a victim just to honor

some allegorical dogma that you choose to take literally.

Okay, he -- he walked right by you.

Did you get a chance to see his face?

Yes. Yes. I will never forget his face.

Okay. There's been a slew of break-ins in this area, all right?

All occurring on Saturdays.

Someone's scoping out and targeting Jewish families.

It would be really helpful

if you could take a few laps around with us.

Of course.

Rebecca, you're not going anywhere with them.
