Southland s03e09 Episode Script
Failure Drill
"To protect and to serve" that's the LAPD's motto.
But as most cops will tell you, sometimes you're lucky if you can just survive.
Load six.
Holy shit, dude! Great job! It's really coming along.
All right.
Now we're gonna do a failure drill.
You know what that is? Two to the body, one to the head? Yep.
Let me show you.
First, you're gonna fire twice a double tap to center mass.
You're aiming for the largest part of the body.
If he falls, you're good.
But what if he doesn't fall? Then that means he's wearing a vest.
Which means he's serious.
You got to bring him down.
Fire once to the head.
Take your time and concentrate.
If you do it right, you'll detach the brain stem.
You all right with that? - Yeah.
- Good.
Told you to be here at 6:00.
You're lucky I came at all.
What happened to all the stuff I got you last week? Threw it down the toilet.
Just take the money.
Whoa! Hey, two's enough.
What are you, a pain specialist now? If you OD, it's bad for my business.
You're one of my best customers.
When the targets face, you'll have three seconds to fire four rounds two right and two left.
The target will edge away.
When they reface, you'll have a second and a half to fire a head shot on each target.
Is anyone not loaded and ready? The line is ready.
Four rounds in three seconds two right, two left when the targets face again.
Stay up for the head shot.
Don't worry about it.
You're a good shot.
Not as good as you.
Yeah, well, I'm out on the streets.
Detectives are still cops.
Oh, no, yeah, I mean you're a good shot for any cop.
Forget it about it.
You got any advice for me? You serious? Yeah.
Not gonna get mad? No, I'm not gonna get mad.
You're mashing the trigger.
Just like they taught us at the Academy breathe and squeeze.

They don't need a place to stay.
They're gonna stay with me.
You killed your wife.
You are going to jail.
And if you keep claiming that you didn't kill her, There's gonna be a trial.
Martin will be subpoenaed.
He'll have to say what he saw to a jury.
And if Alma thinks there's the slightest chance Of you being acquitted, She'll be too scared to take the kids in.
Then DCFS will have them, and they'll split them up And put them in different foster families.
You love your kids? You do love your kids.
Then don't make him testify.
Cop a plea.
If you just do that for your son, I'll do whatever I can to make sure they stay with their aunt.
ButYou got to come clean.
I just want to keep the kids together.
But you're their family.
I'm not.
You really want to be the one responsible For tearing them apart? No.

They don't need a place to stay.
They're gonna stay with me.
You killed your wife.
You are going to jail.
And if you keep claiming that you didn't kill her, There's gonna be a trial.
Martin will be subpoenaed.
He'll have to say what he saw to a jury.
And if Alma thinks there's the slightest chance Of you being acquitted, She'll be too scared to take the kids in.
Then DCFS will have them, and they'll split them up And put them in different foster families.
You love your kids? You do love your kids.
Then don't make him testify.
Cop a plea.
If you just do that for your son, I'll do whatever I can to make sure they stay with their aunt.
ButYou got to come clean.
I just want to keep the kids together.
But you're their family.
I'm not.
You really want to be the one responsible For tearing them apart? No.
