Against the backdrop of a child abduction case we follow five days in the life of the single parent detective assigned to the case, her best friend whose determination to get pregnant keeps her from confronting her husband's infidelity, a school teacher and his obsession with the missing child that pushes him to the edge of vigilantism, a beat cop grieving over the violent death of his wife, a recovering addict and her wheel chair bound brother preparing for the LA marathon, and a self-loathing African American TV writer's search for love.

Uh, can I... Am I done?

Yes. I will send somebody in

with your release papers.

- Sorry.

- It's all right.

Oh, God.

Ah, f***.

You know how fast you were going?

No. I'm sorry, officer.

I thought I was going

the speed limit.

No. You were going 39

in a 25-mile-per-hour zone.

License and registration, please?

Right.

Okay...

You startled me.

That was so quick.

Well, I... I didn't

mean to scare you.

Look, this is...

this is the end

of a school zone here,

you know, which means

that there are a lot of kids around,

playing, you know.

Sometimes they don't pay

much attention to traffic.

You know, they might just jump

right out from behind a parked car

to chase down an overthrown football

or something,

and, the speed you're going,

you're not...

you're not gonna have

time to... to brake.

You know, so...

So just, you know, for everyone's sake,

slow down next time, okay?

You're not gonna give me a ticket?

Thank you.

Thank you so much, officer.

I will totally be more careful

from now on.

Okay...

You have a good day.

Thank you. You, too.

Hey, Mrs. Harrison.

Oh, Jerry, honey,

I got something for you.

Um, how've you been?

Oh, I'm good. I'm good.

Here.

That's homemade brisket

with mashed potatoes and green beans.

You look like you don't eat,

so I made you a plate.

Oh, you didn't have to. It's...

Of course I did.

It's not every day you graduate

from the police academy.

Oh, I'd have brought it

a couple of weeks ago,

but I haven't been feeling well,

and I didn't want to take...

No, no, don't worry about that.

It's... It's very, very sweet of you.

Thank you very much.

- Hi, Mrs. Harrison.

- Oh. Carter.

Hey.

You know, you may want

to add a little salt to that,

because I use lemon juice

instead of salt.

Police are still refusing to refer

to Mr. Beckworth as a suspect,

but public pressure may

force them to do that soon.

In Hawthorne today,

an elderly man...

Dude, where you been?

Raid starts in three minutes.

Sorry. Parent-teacher meeting.

God, and...

he ate the whole thing.

- After he said it was-

- Yes.

Oh, no.

Oh, my God, thank you.

Thank you.

I have not laughed like that in months.

Oh, how's Ryan?

Great.

And everything else?

Well, we're gonna do

in vitro this week.

- That's great.

- Yep.

And, uh, Ryan's been very supportive,

uh, but it's a...

it's a process.

Um, it's just we're both

very committed to it,

which makes it easier...

normal.

Hey, look who's on TV.

You think he's guilty?

I know he is.

I mean, she's like Tina's age.

I mean, this f***ing job,

it's like a looking glass

into the soul of this world.

I mean, it's scary raising kids here.

We have to lie to them
