What?

'Cause he's a brother.

He's your brother? I didn't know that.

Chris.

Jesus.

Chris, what's up?

Hey, Abel.

Your lights?

You know, I did not get to that today.

Can't you just turn them off?

No. You know, they're on a master timer

with the rest of the outdoor lights,

sprinklers.

I'd have to do that whole instruction

manual thing, you know?

- Right.

- There's no excuse, you know.

I just had a hell of a day.

No, I know what you mean.

Want a beer?

No. Thanks.

But...

You'll...

Thanks.

Chris, wait. Hold it.

Be right with you, wait a minute. All right?

Let me take you on patrol with me,

show you the neighborhood.

Okay.

Sure the neighbors appreciate this.

Well, not everybody up here's

somebody you wanna live next to.

Like who?

This guy here, for instance.

Sakorsky, Sakwasky, whatever.

Beats on his wife.

I told her to come straight to me, but...

You know, she didn't have to live that way.

Did she...

Well, other people's relationships.

You think somebody

shouldn't be with somebody,

but you can't say that to their face,

now can you?

Yup.

Over here, now, got some dealing going on,

I think, you know?

Pills, weed, maybe a little coke, meth.

A lot of coming and going.

Interesting thing is

guy's got a different car

in the driveway every week.

Maybe he's a car dealer.

So what'd they tell you about the hillside?

Behind the house?

Said there was a slide 10 years ago,

county reinforced it, and now they're

clearing it out for condos or whatever.

Yeah. Hope they knew what they were doing.

Look, Abel, we're here. Okay?

And we're counting

on being here a few years.

We really want this to be our home.

- Raise your family?

- Yeah, eventually.

Don't wanna rush it, though, right?

Whenever we decide, that's our choice.

You and your wife?

Who else's would it be?

It's a brave new world.

How's that?

You know, I got nothing against you. Or her.

LAPD. I work with all kinds.

I'd lay my life down for those guys.

- "All kinds?"

- But that's where I work.

This is where I live.

I'm trying to raise these kids by myself.

Teach them to respect themselves

and the people they come from.

So I don't need you or your lady

putting your bedroom scenes

out here for them to see.

I don't think they're ever going to forget that

little synchronized swimming exhibition.

Me, either.

Look, Abel, I'm sorry. I...

Maybe there's places where that's okay.

And maybe that's where you ought to live.

Hey.

They saw us. Last night.

- What do you mean?

- In the pool.

Him, the kids...

Oh, my God. I'm mortified.

Well, I don't think he likes us anyway.

Well, honey,

it's not the best first impression.

No, I mean, I don't think he likes
