Butch and Sundance is the second episode of the second season of the police procedural drama series Southland. The episode premiered on March 9, 2010, on TNT. The episode is directed by Chris Chulack and written by Ann Biderman.

In Butch and Sundance, we see Officer Ben Sherman (Ben McKenzie) back on patrol with his training officer, John Cooper (Michael Cudlitz). The episode starts with Ben and John on their way to respond to a call of shots being fired in a gang-riddled neighborhood. As they get closer to the scene, they see two men, who turn out to be undercover cops, running towards them. When the undercover officers reveal that they were trying to bust a drug ring, Ben and John offer to help.

Meanwhile, veteran officer Lydia Adams (Regina King) is assigned a new partner, Detective Josie Ochoa (Jenny Gago). Lydia is not too thrilled about the new partnership at first, but Josie proves her worth by quickly solving a case that Lydia has been stuck on for weeks. The two develop a mutual respect for each other as they investigate a rape case that was previously rejected by another department.

Elsewhere, Officer Sammy Bryant (Shawn Hatosy) is working with his new partner, Officer Nate Moretta (Kevin Alejandro), to track down a missing girl. However, the case gets complicated when they discover that the girl's father is a big-time drug dealer who is not willing to cooperate with the police.

As the episode progresses, we see the various storylines converge as Ben and John's attempt to bust the drug ring leads them to cross paths with Sammy and Nate's missing girl case. The two situations collide in a dramatic finale that ends with unexpected consequences.

Butch and Sundance is a fantastic episode that showcases the signature grit and realism that Southland is famous for. The episode features top-notch performances from the entire cast, especially Regina King and Jenny Gago, who bring a refreshing dynamic to the show. The episode's narrative structure is well-crafted, with every storyline fitting seamlessly into one another.

Overall, Butch and Sundance is an excellent example of Southland's exceptional storytelling and gripping character development. It's an episode that will undoubtedly satisfy fans of the show, and those who are new to it are sure to be hooked after watching it.
