Southland - Season 3 - Eps 2: Punching Water
Lydia and Josie are assigned to assist Sammy and Nate with a series of gang murders.

Ben must then ride with Chickie, who drives him nuts with her very personal questions about his private life and his new relationship with the "cop groupie" he's been seeing.
