Southland: Maximum Deployment

SYNOPSIS

Because of the press's obsession with a police-uniformed 'serial rapist', uniformed (car) patrols are maximized, an equally costly and inefficient method as Ben and Cooper realize, bait does the truck. Detective Russell Clarke is finally back, does great questioning a young boy, the only witness of his grandparents' bloody murder, presumably by drug-addicted relatives, but still can't stay concentrated. Cooper's painkiller problem gets further out of hand and know to several colleagues. Sal's airhead daughter blackmails him to go to a party, thus gets in real danger, molests a helpful citizen and turns her mother's promotion celebration into a divorce-trigger.
