    • Goofs
      (:00:41:10) Cops attending a domestic disturbance complaint with screaming woman, leave without checking inside house. Kyle, who knew the call was phony, still should have carried on the charade to avoid suspicion. Likewise, Lamar, who did not know the call was phony, should have insisted on seeing if there was a screaming woman inside.
