Can you remove the clothes I need to take a picture of his body

Detective

Lydia Adams at the end of a very long day had to give up a baby. It wasn't the

first time You know what a Mozambique is? Uh, failure drill, right? Two to the

body, one to the head?

Yeah. It used to be called the Mozambique. PC crap.

Nothing can be called what it is.

You know why they called it the Mozambique?

No. Those crazy revolutionary dudes over there used to chew this drug called

cot. Hits the nervous system. It's like amphetamine.

You chew the leaves, you're impervious. Hey, hey.

Hey. I told my wife about you.

Good job, sir. Hey.

Jesus. But, uh, who's one of us? Yeah.

All right. Thanks. Have a good one. Yeah.

All right. Anyway, 1974, this soldier, he's defending the airport there, right?

Got a sidearm. This cock -chewing, crazy -ass... He comes running at him with an

AK -47, firing bullets everywhere, just spraying bullets everywhere.

He's missing them, right? Yeah. So the soldier fires two to the center mass.

The cock -chewing bastard, he doesn't feel it. They don't put you up for the

medical, do they?

Something's wrong.

Thank you. Yeah. For the whole 30 seconds he's been on the job, he

deserves the Medal of Valor.

You got us proud. So after the double tap, the soldier fires one to the head,

right between the eyes. You know why?

Yeah, there's no bone to deflect a bullet. Bang, he goes down.

So seriously, where'd you learn to shoot?

Beverly Hills Gun Club. Thought you knew.

You're with me. I don't think so.

Get in the back, Spago.

I think your wife's been blogging my wife. She's been getting all pissy with

suddenly.

I'm going to kill that dog.

He owes me money.

And you said he wasn't going to pay me back. No, sir.

That's not right at all. How much money he owe you, sir?

How much does he owe you, sir?

Three dollars.

Are you kidding me?

Three dollars?

That's what he owes you?

Well, you're missing the point here. He said he wasn't going to pay me back.

This is a bad economy.

All right.

We're done here.

Guy says he did it. We have witnesses.

Ground ball. Kenny and I will wait for SID. We're good. Go ahead. You sure?

Yeah, yeah.

Hey, man, you get a ride back? Yeah.

Genoa?

Genoa, what are you doing?

I live down the street.

Really?

They haven't moved you yet?

You know?

So how are you?

I'm good.

I heard from this boy at our school that you guys, like, have junior police kids

work for y 'all.

What we have is the Explorers program.

And actually, Detective Moretta helps run it. Remember him?

Hi.

You want to be an Explorer?

What all does it consist of?

Well, it's, uh, especially for kids who think they might want to go into law

enforcement. We meet up once a week. We train you. You move through the ranks,

just like in the academy.

And you get to train other kids.

Oh, Jay.

That was easy.

Well, you're already helping us out by testifying. You know that, right?

Yeah. But it's very important that you don't go telling people about it.

Remember, we talked about that.

So, what are you going to say about Dewey?

I know it's really weird.

I kind of like the guy.

He's kind of a turd.

Whoa, whoa! 2 -11 in progress!

Gun! Gun!

Hey, hey, wait! Hey, where are you going?

About a hundred things you did wrong.

This man, he works at this market.

He was being robbed by this gentleman who may or may not have a gun. Do you

a gun, sir?

Dude got it off me.

Yeah.

You may be a great shot, but you still know about being a cop. Shut up.

Shut up.

Number one, things aren't always what they seem.

Shut up. The victim can be the suspect.

Suspect can be the victim.

Unhook him.

You wait for us.

You do not take action by yourself.

Yes, sir. We work as partners.

Yes, sir.

We apologize to him. I'm sorry, sir.

You okay?

He's new.

You get his info. Yes, sir.

6 -8 -47 shows to the station with one in custody.

Got caught up in the John Wayne syndrome.

You lost your position of advantage.

Yes, sir. Could have been a second, third suspect.

Could have been a layoff man waiting to shoot at you.

John. John! Stop the car!

Stop.

Hi. I got it.

Maybe the mom ran to the store or something, got picked up, didn't tell

about the baby.

Maybe it was carjacking.

They look in the backseat, they see the baby, they freak out, they dump it.

Maybe God dropped it down.

It's in heaven.

We're going to stay here and keep canvassing the area.

Let us know if you have any answers and we'll call media relations.

Oh, man.

Hey, Russell, we didn't bring a car seat.

It's four blocks and you just hold it.

Look, you know, put it in the back seat.

I'll drive real slow.

Promise.

Okay.

He's a big man.

Handsome little man.

Easy.

Let's go for a ride.

This is our star witness in a gang trial. When was the last time you had a

witness come forward like this, huh? Detective, there's a budget crisis.

you've noticed, okay? I'm sorry, we're not relocating. This is bullshit.

No, they're Hispanic gang members. She doesn't even live in their neighborhood.

I don't see the threat here. Hello, they have these things called cars.

Yeah, and so they're going to go across town and try to find her in a black

neighborhood. Yeah. Yeah. No, I don't think so.

Just get her into the Explorers.

She has to apply, right?

I know, but no bulls**t. I don't care if she's got D's in schools. Just let her

in. Don't worry about it, man. She's in.

Hey, my ass looks big in these.

Go ahead.

Okay, that was DCFS. They're sending over an emergency response worker.

Media Relations doesn't even put out a bulletin.

And you know what's going to happen? They're just going to dump them in the

system, just like they do all of the other cases.

Okay, buddy, let's get this diaper changed.

Oh, man!

Oh, hell!

Okay.

Okay. Okay.

Okay. Oh, wee, a big load right there.

What?

Look at this.

Today in the Southland, a baby boy believed to be about 10 months old was

crawling across this street in Hollywood, according to the Los Angeles

Let me try that one more time.

Hey, anything else you can tell me?

Nope. Officer!

Is that baby okay?

Yeah, it's fine.

How you doing?

Yeah?

So,

uh, anything you could tell me? Maybe drug deal gone bad, somebody tried to

the kid, something like that?

No.

Yeah?

Okay.

All right.

Thanks.

Hey, I just got off the phone with Riverside. They've got a mother who

missing baby report two days ago.

So she's coming over here to see if it's hers.

What? Well...

She might have done something to her kid because her story's kind of hanky.

And we're supposed to just hand this baby to her?

Come on, Lynn.

I wonder if it's really her kid.

So, uh, about Dewey's party.

Why do I have to go to this thing? Nobody likes him, right? I never even

guy. It's a chance for you to meet some of my friends.

You mean the wives?

Yeah, what's wrong with that?

Huh?

I have nothing in common with these women. Nothing.

You don't know that?

They probably all belong to a nice little book club, read Anne Rice novels.

You're being ridiculous, Tammy.

I found this guy.

He's a retired cop out in Thousand Oaks, and he said he'd meet us there. Take

Richter.

Tammy, it's better for the dog. He can run around, work off that energy.

Fine.

He's my only friend, and you want to take him away from me. You know that

is the right thing for him.

The guy has goats.

He can herd goats.

You honestly think it's a good idea if she comes?

No.

She's going to freak, though. Do we of all people? Come on, seriously.

Imagine the freak is speaking.

There won't be any.

You coming, Kenny?

Coming where?

Retirement party, man. You got to go. You didn't get the email? Seriously? No.

Hey, Janilla. Hey, Janilla.

Sweetheart, come with me. I'll show you how Thunder Runs Explodes.

He said I had to get a sponsor.

Will you sponsor me? Of course.

Are you kidding?

Um, he said that I had to have my parents sign it.

But my dad's in jail and my mom's on drugs.

I live with my grandmother.

I mean, she's your guardian, yeah?

Yeah. No problem.

You better be kidding me.

No, no, I don't think it's a good idea.

Come on, Sal.

You don't think about me?

Don't you miss me?

Of course I still think about you.

A lot.

All right?

More than I should.

Mia, that's my kid calling. I'm going to take this, all right?

All right.

Okay.

Hey, Peanut, what's up?

No, no, you cannot go to Hollywood Boulevard.

Because I said so.

Because it's filled with creeps trying to get over, that's why.

I'm not going to argue about this.

Hello?

Police!

Yeah? How you doing? Have you seen this kid? What?

No? No.

Okay.

You, uh, hear anything?

Give us a holler.

Police!

What?

I saw the baby climb out of a box.

The baby? Yeah.

It tipped over the box and just climbed out.

I thought I was hallucinating.

And then you just let it crawl into traffic, right?

No. No, no, no, no, no, no. I had split by then. I had to get some breakfast.

You know, they serve this French toast over at the church. Barry, I need you to

show me where the box was.

Yeah. Okay? Yeah. All right, let's go.

Oh, I also got a

partial plate.

I'm gonna kill you.

So, you saw a car drop off the box?

No, I saw it drive away.

The part that I saw read... 3D24.

Of course, I need glasses.

You need a runner? I got it.

Do you know what kind of car it was?

Yep.

Oh, uh, it was a, um...

El Camino.

Red. 8788.

El Camino's registered to a Christy Cummings.

C -H -R -I -S -T -Y?

S -T -I.

Okay, she's a 647B. Been arrested about ten times.

Prostitution, drugs.

I'm gonna call Vice and see if she's active.

Any updates on baby Joe? Yeah.

Someone saw a car drop him off. It's registered to a woman. We're going to

if we can find her. Well, I need to open a case on the baby in the next 72

hours. I'm going to put him in foster care tonight unless you tell me

Okay.

You've got a card with a direct number I can call you?

The baby?

Oh, sorry.

He told me that he had to take the baby to the doctor on account that his ex,

Brianna, couldn't do it today.

She's the mom.

I wouldn't have lent him the car otherwise.

Such an asshole.

We're going to need Scumbag's name.

Skylar Joel.

Kimmy, you've got to calm down. I can't understand a word you're saying.

Dad, they towed Mom's car!

Kimmy, I told you not to take that car.

Where are you? I'm on Hollywood Boulevard.

Stay there. I'm coming to get you.

Don't go anywhere.

Fine! Just stay there.

This guy's got a, uh...

Who's there?

Open the door, Skyler.

I got it.

All right. Hold it right there, Skyler. Hold it.

Requesting assistance in West Lake and 7th.

West side alley.

Eyes on suspect.

Hold it right there.

Turn around. I'm not going back to prison, man. No way.

You're going back.

Hold it right there.

No way. I'm not going back. You want to shoot him? Yeah.

Hand me the less lethal.

Don't shoot! I'm not dropping the knife! Enough, Skyler! No way, man!

No way!

Oh, God, man! No!

It hurt, man! Spread your legs.

Is there anything else on you? No!

6 Adam 4 -7, show a call for an allocation.

Suspect is in custody.

What the hell was that?

A beanbag.

Please, don't shoot me with that again.

Don't go pulling knives on cops.

and shot and stabbed, and that hurt, man.

You're going to take care of my little girl?

Consider it already been done.

I'll take care of what needs to be done out here.

Gracias.

I appreciate it.

She needs to go to church.

She needs structure.

Well, Ms. Johnson, this is kind of like church.

You smile like that, the girls just fall over, huh?

I don't like her hanging around with you people all the time.

Bad enough she testifying.

I bought this house. This was a good neighborhood.

Now look at it.

Oh, you have no idea how bad it gets.

Which is why she should do this. I promise it's a good thing.

I broke up with Marquise.

Oh, we should have done that a long time ago.

That was fun.

Newton Carvin.

I don't understand why you're arresting me for trying to do the right thing.

I mean, you're allowed to give up a baby.

You know how many people tried to buy it off of me?

I could have sold it, which I did not do.

You can give up a baby within three days of birth to a hospital or a fire

station. The building looked official, okay? It had converters and stuff.

The power substation, you idiot.

Where's the mother?

That bitch broke up with me.

Does she know what you did?

I need to talk to the mother, Skyler.

She tells me she wants to go straight.

And she gets some dumbass job, and every time she has a problem, she dumps the

baby on me.

And I don't even know if it's mine. I mean, she was screwing about ten guys at

the same time.

Her name.

I need her name.

Do you know why they towed the car, Kimmy? Because it was in a tow -away

I'm sorry!

You guys got a way home, right?

I'm going to call your parents tonight, so the numbers you gave me better be

right.

Is that mommy?

Could you tell her I need to talk to her about her son?

Is this about Jimmy?

Your ex, Skyler, decided to give him away.

He thought it was for the best, and we found him crawling down the street on

own. Oh, my God. Is he okay?

He's safe.

Where is he?

Children's services have him.

No.

Once they get him, you can't get them back. I want to see my son now. Can I

him? No, not right now.

DCFS has him, and he's safe.

How did this happen, Brianna?

I leave him with this woman while I work. She's really good.

but she had an emergency with her own son at school, and so I told her to

him with Skyler. I usually don't, but this was an emergency.

According to Skyler, you leave the baby with him all the time. No, that's a lie.

He hates me because I went straight.

The minute I found out that I was pregnant with Jimmy, I stopped using.

I got a job right away. I've never done anything to hurt him. I've been trying

so hard.

scar on his leg. He's like Houdini. He gets out of everything.

He got out of his high chair and scraped his leg on the screw that was holding

it together.

I got it second hand. I took him to get a tetanus shot right away. He has all

his shots.

So we take him to the ER, get some x -rays.

We're going to find anything else?

Some old broken bones?

More scars?

No, I love my son.

He's all that I have.

Please, please can I see him?

Now, Dewey graduated from the academy in 1986.

He wasn't the top of his class, but he wasn't the bottom. But close.

No child left behind, you know what I'm saying?

His first assignment was South Central, where he did his probation.

Now, he worked there from 86 to 88, when he was asked to leave.

I mean, that's something. He had 20 miles. beef at the time. That was a

back then. 21!

Very nice, very nice. Now, in 98, he went over to Venice, beach patrol.

Some say he learned how to drink there. I think he was working on his tan the

whole time.

Riding around in a bicycle, on a t -shirt, shorts, huh?

That should be a fast drink.

How much longer do you have to do that?

Not much longer.

You uncovering all your deep, dark Beverly Hills secrets?

Yeah, he is.

Like what?

You know who my father is, right?

Scumbag defense lawyer Ben Sherman?

Yeah.

My father represented this drug dealer.

Guy's brother went to jail.

Dealer was pissed. Thought it was my dad's fault.

Had some people over to visit our house.

Only problem was that...

My dad had already walked out, left us.

They were pretty pissed off.

I was ten.

After that, this kid I was in school with, his dad thought I should learn to

defend myself, so he took me and his son to the gun club every Saturday.

Taught us both to shoot.

In 98, when I went to Venice, I already knew how to drink. I just perfected it.

Venice rock, man. Venice rock. Everybody around sporting bikinis.

How many times did I beg you to wear a freaking bikini?

Hi. Hi, pal.

How are you doing?

I'm doing great.

This is my daughter, Kimmy.

Oh, hi, Kimmy. Nice to meet you.

Can I talk to you for a second?

Talk about working the bushes.

Whoa!

already told you the woman i leave him with had an emergency i'm trying to work

with you here but i have some very serious concerns can i see him please

right now can i speak with you for a moment privately rihanna give us a

I'm going to open a case, and she's very likely going to lose this baby. I've

worked with you people before, and this is not how you do things.

You're not babysitters. You keep the families together.

She has a history of prostitution. She's a drug addict, and she gave the baby to

a meth -addicted father.

I think she's... She's endangering the child. What if she's clean?

What if I give her back the baby, and it winds up dead in a week?

You do your job. Let me do mine. But you're not doing your job. You're

her. The baby deserves a chance to grow up with his mother.

Yes, she screwed up, but she's asking for another chance.

Give it to her.

Yes, can you send in Ms. Smith, please?

Honey, this is my buddy Tom. I was telling you guys you need to take Rick

her. All right.

Let's get this over with, all right? Okay, sure.

We're going to go put him in Tom's truck now. Okay.

Fine.

So, Sammy said you have goats?

300 goats.

It's a business, honey.

Red aruminant. They clear brush.

Fire prevention.

No kidding?

They can clear brush faster than a crew.

They never call in sick. No chemicals.

No waste.

They're green as hell.

Never thought I'd be one of those ecological do -gooders. Open up.

Hey there, big fella.

You want to help me herd some goats?

You're confused, ain't you?

Yeah, bring him up.

Come on, Tam, let's do this.

All right, all right.

Come on. Give me a second.

Come on.

Most of all, I wish you luck, Dewey, with

whatever you do in retirement.

Wow.

My God. Hey.

Hey, wait. Did you write that speech yourself? My God.

What the hell do you mean you don't know what I'm going to do in retirement?

In case you haven't noticed this beautiful new uniform of mine, I'm going

to work on movie set.

They're going to take one look at my ass on my motorcycle, and they're going to

make me a doll, baby!

Yeah!

And I got my boys in the back to thank for that. You guys will tell me how much

I owe, and I will pay.

I'm ready for the change. What?

She's so beautiful. I've seen her on the news.

You're being disrespectful towards your mother.

Mom's a bitch.

Shh.

You never talk that way.

You think he'll go back to prison?

Yeah. Three strikes law.

And he's got about eight.

Child endangerment, child abandonment. He violated his parole with the drugs.

Attempted murder on an officer.

Good.

They're not going to let me have my baby back, are they?

To help me get Jimmy back, I'm begging you.

Please.

I need another...

For those of you that don't know, my beautiful wife, I can't thank you enough

for coming back to me. I'm sure it had absolutely nothing to do with my tax

-free medical pension.

Where the hell's my shrink? My shrink is here somewhere, and my sponsor in the

back. Beautiful ladies, I want to bang you both.

I'm kidding. I'm kidding, sweetheart.

You know, in all seriousness, you know, I know I messed up.

They say I've got...

A disease called addiction.

Personally, I just think I'm an a**hole.

But, you know, I just want to say that there hasn't been a day that's gone by

drunk, sober, that I haven't loved this job.

I love this job. I love you guys.

That's not that stupid trick, all right?

What is it, Camilla?

I'm trying to find out.

What?

We'll be right there. Okay, I'm sending a squad car.

Were there ever

drugs in the glove compartment?

He borrowed it last week.

I can't take this dog.

He'll go nuts.

Heard a goat.

It's okay.

I totally understand.

Don't worry about it.

She break up with the fool. You think you're going to take that lying down?

Ms. Johnson, I realize you're upset, but I need you to calm down. Are you going

to help me out here or not?

I told you, we don't have the funds.

The girl's an associate of Greg's. Who cares who it was?

They're in real danger here.

Yeah, well, I'm sorry. We don't have the money. Sorry.

You wonder why we can't get anybody to testify?

That was kind of sad.

Yeah.

Oh, my speech sucks.

It was kind of anemic, I have to say.

So there's a lot more to that story, isn't there?

People were in your house?

Yeah.

Where were you?

I gotta go.

Okay.

See ya.

You are connected with your family?

I was abused by my father. My mother looked the other way.

Have you been in therapy to deal with all of this? Yes.

I saw someone from Children of the Night when I first got clean.

Are you affiliated with a church?

I mostly go to MCC in Hollywood.

They're kind of gay, but they're really nice, and I can bring Jimmy.

Do you have a sponsor?

There's this woman I talk to.

She's really nice.

It hurt.

What hurt?

Kimmy, what hurt?

I got my belly button pierced on Hollywood Boulevard.

You did what?

Do you know how dangerous that is?

Do you know you can catch HIV from that? Hep C?

I want the name of the person who did it, because I'm shutting them down. Dad,

will you stop yelling at me? I am not yelling at you! Yes, you are!

All right, look. I can start a file for her in the voluntary reunification

program.

Get her the support she needs. You can't parent in a vacuum.

Thank you. Get her into a parenting group.

Appropriate daycare.

I need to take a picture of Jimmy and then I need to see where she's living.

Now? Tonight?

That's right.

Okay.

Can you remove the clothes?

I need to take a picture of his body.

I really appreciate what y 'all are doing for me and my brand, though.

It's no problem.

They have a pool.

I'm a really good swimmer.

My ass is on the line here, and so is yours.

Thank you.

The home yeah

You

caught me

You

look good

I don't know. The mother lost her baby, and we found the baby crawling down the

street by himself.

One year old.

Yeah, I heard about it on the news.

The baby's back with his mom.

I think they're going to be fine.

Okay.

I think I made a mistake.

You know, with you.

I really do want a kid.

I got it. I got it going. I know.

The darkness that we know and this regret I got.

It's my responsibility.

You don't owe nothing to me, but to walk away. I have no progress.

He walks away.
