[HONDO] Previously on SWAT...

You disobeyed a direct order
from your superior.

You and I are part of a system.

You don't respect that system,

and you don't respect me.

You've been waiting for months
for a chance

to take a shot at me.

If you think I'm just gonna roll over,
no.

I don't think you have any say
in the matter.

My mom wasn't known
for her classy choices in men.

There was this one guy, Collins,

he was around our place a lot
when I was a teenager.

He'd get physical, so I learned
how to throw down.

Promising myself that,
if I ever saw him again,

I'd be ready.

[MARIE LAUGHS]

[ALFARO] You want me to
put the leftovers away?

[MARIE] Just relax, Miguel.
Leave the dishes. I can do it later.

I got it. Let me help you.

You work so hard, last thing you need

is more to do when you're here.

That sink's on the fritz anyway.

Plumbers are coming in a few days.

Ma, forget the plumbers.

I'll take a look at it right now.

Listen.

I have something to tell you.
Don't get mad, all right?

Uh-huh.

Wayne Collins reached out to me.

What do you mean?

What'd he want? It's been 20 years.

He's doing a 12-step program,

wants to make amends
for everything that happened

back when we were dating.

Yeah, like a half-assed "Sorry" makes up

for smacking you around.

Well, I hope you told him
where to stick his apology.

Mom.

He sounded sincere.

Said he's been clean for a while.

I said I'd hear him out,

so I invited him over
tomorrow night to talk.

God, Mom, after what he did...

I lost count of all the nights
I'd wake up to hear you crying.

Now you're just gonna let him
back into your life?

That's not what I'm doing.

It's-it's not like
we're getting back together.

This is only to help his recovery.

Please.

It's decided, Miguel.

I won't let the past
be what defines him, or me.

Look, if you're so worried,

come over tomorrow. See for yourself.

Here you go.

Hey. If you guys want to be
around the VIP area,

you're gonna have to order.

Tables are bottle service only.
$250 minimum.

Have you seen this girl?

Her name's Kate. I know she works here.

Don't know who that is. Sorry.

Hey, don't lie to me. Where is she?

I said I don't know her. Let me go.

- Hey, hands off.
- [GRUNTS]

Hey, break it up!

[GUNSHOTS]

[PEOPLE SCREAMING]

[SCREAMING CONTINUES]

[MUSIC STOPS]

[SHOUTING, CLAMORING]

Come on!

Get the girl.

We'll look for Kate.

Hurry! One of them's coming!

[GRUNTS]

You're a bad liar.

Tell me where Kate is,
and I might go easy on you.

I don't know where she is, I swear.

You're gonna talk.

You understand?

- You're gonna...
- [GRUNTS]

[CRIES OUT IN PAIN]

- [GUNSHOT]
- [SCREAMS]

[GRUNTS, YELLS]

- Hey.
- Hey, man.

Losing all this beauty sleep
catching up with you yet, Deac?

I mean, how many night shifts
in a row is this for us?

Honestly, I've lost count.

My kids are starting to think
I'm nocturnal.

- [CHUCKLES]
- Listen,

I just heard something
from a buddy of mine.

He's got a friend who works at
Deputy Chief Bennett's office.

Apparently, there's a shortlist

of replacements for
SWAT commander going around.

Replacements for Hicks' job?

I just saw Hicks. Didn't seem
like anything was off,

but you know things
haven't been great between him

- and the deputy chief.
- That's putting it mildly.

Even if this thing
has been misconstrued,

it just makes me wonder

if Bennett is trying to pull a fast one.

Well, where there's smoke, there's fire.

The only way to put it out,
is go straight to the source.

[PHONES BEEPING]

We got a shooting at a night club.

[SIREN WAILING]

Good to have you back with us, Cabrera.

- It's been a minute.
- [ALFARO] You think Rocker's

gonna be pissed
we stole you for the night?

Messing with Rocker

is just as much fun
as messing with you, baby Miko.

[CABRERA] Oh, he'll get over it.

I'm ride-or-die for 50-Squad,

but you guys got
a special place in my heart.

Aw.

Understood.

All right, listen up.
About 20 minutes ago,

there was an altercation
between four bikers

and the bouncers at The Passport Lounge.

Several people were injured,
and a bouncer was killed.

At least one armed suspect's
still inside.

The nightclub's got two main entrances.

We'll have to split up.

One minute out.

[HONDO] We hit both
entrances in teams of three.

Keep quiet, suspects could be anywhere.

Let's lock in.

LAPD. Let me see your hands.

Easy.

I work here.

Three guys with guns ran that way.

What happened to the fourth?

He chased one of my co-workers

towards the stock room.

They're looking for someone named Kate.

25-David. Witness saw three gunmen

head into the stairwell,
says there's another gunman

with a possible hostage
in the stock room.

He heard them asking
for someone named Kate.

[WOMEN WHIMPERING]

Hondo.

[DEACON] Got a female victim,
possible GSW, on the ground.

The suspect is at one o'clock.

He's bleeding, but he's got
a gun pointed towards the door.

If we breach, he has a clear shot at us.
We got to talk him down.

This is Sergeant Harrelson, LAPD SWAT.

You're bleeding, man.

You put that gun down,
we can help you out.

No. You'll just arrest me.

[HONDO] Better to be alive and
under arrest than dead in there.

- Is the woman still alive?
- [CHUCK] Who cares?

The bitch stabbed me.

If she's okay, your path
out of there gets a lot easier.

Every second you hesitate

is another second closer
to you being locked up

for the rest of your life.

She's breathing.

[HONDO] All right,
best you keep her that way.

Now, put down the weapon.

[GROANS]

It's down.

Making entry.

[HONDO] 20-David to command.

Suspect is in custody.
Get the EMTs in here, now.

[DEACON] I got a female,

GSW to the shoulder.
She's lost a lot of blood.

[CABRERA OVER COMMS] 54-David.
Rest of the club's clear.

No sign of any other suspects.

Her name's Maya. Not Kate.

So, she isn't the target.
She's collateral damage.

Who's Kate? And why
are you going after her?

Wherever Kate is, she's got
three killers on her tail,

and anyone who gets in
their way is as good as dead.

I was never a fan of nightclubs
in my 20s,

and after last night,
I like them even less.

Got anything on our gunmen?

[DEACON] We did.
This here's Charles Gomez.

He's a member of a biker club,
the Dark Angels.

Hospital said he's stable,
but he's refusing to talk.

It's against his club's honor code.

We also ID'd two other gunmen

from the club's security footage,

Nolan Rizzolo, Jackson Nix,

also members of the Dark Angels.

Fourth guy here hid his face
from the cameras.

Nix has got burglary
and assault charges,

but Rizzolo's rap sheet's a mile long.

Served five years for domestic violence,

and he's a prime suspect in a murder.

Well, the Dark Angels
haven't had a stronghold in L.A.

since the '90s.

I mean, they're based out of Utah now.

What the hell are they doing back here?

Well, they're looking
for someone named Kate.

Witnesses heard the bikers say
that she worked there,

but the owner said no one by that name

was on the floor last night.

Bottle girls are all paid
under the table,

so there are no legit
employee records to namecheck.

Female victim from the club
is out of surgery.

Tan and Gamble are headed there
to find out who this Kate is,

but Rizzolo's a step ahead of us.

Put out a BOLO on the bikes.

We need to hit it from all angles

to find the girl before they do.

Make sure you talk to them.

- Oh. I'll talk to you later.
- Yeah.

Well, I'm at SWAT HQ so often,

I thought you'd be
sick of me by now, Sergeant.

- Everything okay?
- That depends.

There's a rumor going around

that you're looking for a new
SWAT commander,

compiling a list
of names to replace Hicks.

Is that true?

I know you two have a relationship,
but it's my responsibility

to look after the integrity
of this department.

It's time to bring SWAT
into the 21st century,

and that starts with leadership.

You might've heard that your
name is at the top of the list.

I didn't come here to throw
my hat in the ring for Hicks's job.

I came here to stop you from firing him.

Commander Hicks isn't being
fired. He's being reassigned.

The brass has formed

this brand-new art theft unit,

and we need someone to spearhead it.

This is an excellent
opportunity for him.

Be real with me, Leticia.

We both know it's a demotion.

I ain't saying he's perfect,
but in a crisis,

I want Commander Hicks in my corner.

You're gonna deprive

a whole department of his leadership,

toss him aside, because the
two of you are butting heads?

Commander Hicks
is not being tossed aside.

He's being handed
an excellent opportunity.

- [SIGHS]
- Now, look,

you're a leader.

How long would somebody last
on your squad

if they disrespected

your authority or overrode your orders?

Hicks had a good run at SWAT,

but it is my department,
and I will lead it as I see fit.

The Hicks I know ain't about to
go down without a fight.

Well, that's his problem.

Now, if that's all, I have a meeting.

That's not all.

You take my name off your damn list.

[CHUCKLES]

It's always good to see you, Hondo.

Maya, thank you for talking to us.

I'm Officer Gamble.

This is Officer Tan.

That was some quick thinking
at the club.

Fighting back probably saved your life.

Glad those self-defense
classes paid off.

Your attackers were looking
for a girl named Kate,

is that right?

We used to work together.

Her name's Kate Sennott.

Everyone at the club knew her as Kitty.

Nicknames make it harder

for the creeps to stalk you online.

But these guys knew her real name.

Yeah. They had a photo of her,
asked for her specifically.

I know she dumped some guy back
in Utah before moving to L.A.

She didn't say much about it,

but he seemed pretty aggressive,
texted her all the time.

Do you think he was abusing her?

When a girl's that nervous about an ex,

they usually have a good reason.

Did you recognize any of the
suspects as Kate's ex-boyfriend?

I never saw a picture of him,
but when they asked for Kate,

I didn't want to take
any chances, so I lied.

Well, they knew enough about Kate

to show up at the club where she worked.

Is there anywhere else they might look?

She spent a ton of time

at the acting studio, taking classes.

- Do you know which acting studio?
- She never said.

Just talked about
how much she loved acting,

wanted to be a big star, so...

I was happy when something
better came along for her.

[GAMBLE] What do you mean? She quit?

She didn't work at the club anymore?

Yeah, about a month ago,
she just stopped showing up.

I figured she got a big role
in a movie or something.

The guy that took me hostage,

he just shot me, without thinking.

If they get to Kate...

We're doing the best we can to find her.

Our BOLO on the bikers
get us anything yet?

Still no trace of the motorcycles,

but we just tracked down
Kate's bank statements.

Going through her social media now.

[DEACON] Everything here
paints Kate as an aspiring actor.

She booked a couple small TV roles.

Spends all her money on acting classes,

theater tickets, and something
called "The Influencer's Way."

The Influencer's Way is some kind of

workshop to help actors
grow their follower count.

It's more likely
they'll get a role if they have

an existing fanbase.

My 12-year-old cousin's
trying to be a micro-influencer.

Has a YouTube channel and everything.

I don't think your cousin's
gonna learn much from Kate.

She's only got a few hundred
views on her most popular posts.

And she stopped posting
entirely a month ago.

This is her last video.

"#Couple goals"? Who is this guy?

[HONDO] Looks like they're
more than dance partners.

[DEACON] His name is Alex Murphy.

Yeah, Kate's feed is full
of videos of them together.

[CABRERA] Hold on. That's Nolan Rizzolo.

Looks like we ID'd Kate's jealous ex.

He must've found out
that's she has a new boyfriend.

That's why he's going after her.

All right, let's get
this Alex Murphy guy to HQ.

He could be in as much danger as Kate.

[DOOR CLOSES]

Hey, yo. Hold up.

Can I help you, Officer?

You don't remember me.

- Should I?
- I'm Miguel.

Marie's son.

Miguel.

Of course.

You were so much younger
the last time I saw you.

Could say the same about you.

A life of bad choices
has a way of aging you.

I'm sure Marie told you
why I reached out.

I... I owe you a chat, too.

Yeah, that's why I'm here.

I don't need a chat.
Neither does my mom.

Look, I realize

how this seems,
me coming around after all this time.

I get it.

But don't deprive Marie
the chance to heal.

My mom

doesn't need your cheap-ass apologies.

And when you inevitably crash and burn

on your bogus self-help journey,

I'm not letting you take her down, too.

Miguel, I...

know I caused a lot of damage
back in the day,

but I've changed.

- Let me fix what I broke.
- [SCOFFS]

You haven't changed enough
to stop using that same line.

I heard it every time

my mom tried kicking you
out of the house.

The only difference now is
you're not slurring your words.

I don't care if you stopped drinking

or doing drugs.

You're still the same abusive scumbag.

If I was still the man
you're describing,

I'd have already decked you, kid.

I swung at plenty of cops
back in my old days.

Stay away from my mom.

I'm not gonna tell you again.

[TAN] Come on, Alex, you "Fell"?
I've seen your videos.

I thought actors
were more creative than that.

Look, some guys jumped me
out of nowhere.

Okay? No big deal.

These guys look familiar?

They're after Kate.

But I think you
already know that, right?

I don't know where Kate is.

Aren't you Kate's boyfriend?

How do you not know where she is?

[CHUCKLES] Boyfriend?

Wow, I guess even cops

believe everything
they see on the Internet.

I'm gay.

Okay, Kate and I met in an acting class.

All directors care about
is your follower count,

so we put together some flirty
videos to get a bunch of views.

So when's the last time you saw Kate?

A month or so, give or take.

Kate started hanging
with this producer guy,

promised to make her a famous actress.

I told her it was sus.
She didn't believe me,

and she should've.

The guy never got her any real roles.

I mean... not that she could
tell her family about anyway.

What does that mean?

ALEX: Guy from acting class found it.

Look, I'm not trying to judge.

You do what you got to do
to make your money,

but Kate just never seemed
like the type.

Didn't drink, didn't do drugs.

The producer could be a predator,

coercing Kate into making these videos.

- Do you know his name?
- I don't remember,

and the bikers didn't seem to
know anything about him either.

Did you show the bikers this video?

I had to. I told them

the club she worked at
and her agent's name.

- Who's her agent?
- Susan Connor.

A medic will take a look at you.

We got to find this agent, and fast.

Deacon says Sue Connor's not at home.

Her wife said she came
into the office this morning.

No one's answering the office phone.

Think I know why.

[TAN] 22-David.

Nightclub shooting suspects
are at 24405 Cestaneda Street.

Making entry.

- Agency's up there. Go.
- Copy you.

Last man.

- LAPD! Stop!
- [CABRERA] Don't move!

[GUNSHOTS]

I'm on him. You two go after them.

Copy.

[TAN] I'm LAPD. Hang in there.
You're gonna be okay.

22-David. Need an RA at my location.

Got a female with lacerations
to the face.

Help is on the way. Where'd he go?

That way.

All right, get out of here.

[TIRES SCREECH, HORN HONKS]

[GUNSHOTS]

[INDISTINCT SHOUTING]

This way!

- Move!
- [SCREAMS]

[TIRES SCREECH]

Out of the car!

- [GAMBLE] Get out of the way!
- [CABRERA] Out of the way!

Go, go, go!

54-David. Suspects stole
a silver pickup.

Plate number 2-Delta-Delta-Tango-4-5-6.

[BOTH GRUNTING]

[YELLS]

Tell me why you're after Kate,
and why you want to hurt her.

What are you talking about?
I'm not trying to hurt her.

I'm trying to save her.

I'm her brother.

- Did you talk to Kate's agent?
- [DEACON] Yeah.

She's shaken up, but thankfully,
she wasn't critically injured.

Turns out, she's Kate's ex-agent.

She was lured away by some producer

who promised her a faster rise to fame.

She hasn't heard from Kate in a month.

And soon after Kate
linked up with the producer,

she popped up on this cam girl site.

[HICKS] Wish I was surprised.

So many young girls come to this city

with stars in their eyes,

only to get chewed up and spit out,

- or worse.
- [DEACON] So, in her videos,

Kate seems high.

Slurred speech, eyes glazed over.

Producer could be drugging her
to get his way,

or make money off of her.

I saw similar scams on Vice.

These guys draw girls in,

cut them off from their old life,

then force them into porn
or pimp them out.

Reach out to your
Vice contacts, Tan.

See if they got any leads
on this producer.

If you're right, Kate
might not be the only victim.

So, while Kate was with her agent,

she only booked a couple of acting jobs,

but it did earn her residuals,

and she had those checks
sent to a P.O. box.

Gamble's got the number.
She's looking for an owner.

If we find the producer,
we can get ahead of the bikers.

In the meantime, grab Hondo,
talk to Kate's brother.

See if you can convince him to call off

his biker friends
before they kill again.

[HONDO] Ben, make the call.

Tell your buddies to stand down.
We will bring your sister home.

You wouldn't even be looking
for Kate if it wasn't for us.

And I'm not gonna leave her fate

to a bunch of cops that I don't trust.

[DEACON] Trust us or not,

we are putting all of our
manpower into finding her.

Yeah.

You know, we did some looking into you.

You're not part of their club.

Are you really willing to
take the fall for these guys?

At least I know
they'll get the job done.

They will find my sister.

Look, you're worried
and you're angry, I get it.

We know about the adult videos
she's been making.

She's being forced to make those.

'Cause Kate would never do
anything like that on her own.

And whoever's doing this to her,
we're gonna make him pay.

And there's a way to do that

without putting her in more danger.

Trust us.

I got a voicemail from
Kate a couple of days ago.

An unknown number.

[PHONE BEEPS]

[KATE OVER RECORDING] Ben,
I need help.

He won't let me leave.

I'm scared he's gonna hurt me.

I'm at a house in...[GASPS]
Oh, God.

[MAN OVER RECORDING]
Hang it up, now.

[KATE SCREAMS]

It still kills me that I didn't answer.

So, my buddies
are gonna find this creep.

'Cause he deserves to die.

I scrubbed through Kate's videos,

which sent me down a rabbit hole

of other women.

Similar explicit content,
all uploaded from the same source.

[TAN] Yeah, odds are these girls
are all caught up in the same scam.

This producer convinces them

he can make their dreams come true.

Before they wise up,

he has them hooked on drugs
and making this garbage.

So, when we find Kate,

we'll probably find other victims, too.

[PHONE CHIMES]

It's a list of properties
that Vice suspects

are involved in these schemes.

Kate could be at any one of these.

Gamble's digging into the producer.

Hopefully, she's having better luck.

Any luck chasing down that P.O. box?

Yes and no.
Post office gave me the owner,

but it's under an LLC,

and I can't seem
to find the name behind it.

[SIGHS] Let me help.

Doing some research
will help clear my mind.

This have anything to do

with where you disappeared to earlier?

Hondo let me dip out for an hour.

Had to handle some family business.

Hey. I'm an expert on
screwed-up families, so...

lay it on me.

My mom used to date this guy who'd

end every argument by giving
her a black eye or a split lip.

And now, he's back,

and she agreed to see him.

Guessing you tried, but you
couldn't convince her not to?

And I went to see him,
tried to shut it down.

All this rage I had as a kid
just flooded back.

You know, I used to fantasize about

hurting him for everything
he put us through.

I didn't think he still
had that power over me.

My dad has a way of getting
under my skin like that.

You know, they...

...trigger something in us.

Yeah, but you two managed to make peace.

Only because Hondo gave me
some good advice.

Made the decision to forgive him,

let go of all the anger that
I was carrying from my past.

- What if he doesn't deserve it?
- Doesn't matter.

It's not about him.

Miko, you deserve
to live life for yourself,

not some ghost from your past.

[COMPUTER CHIMES]

Hold up.

It's a certificate of
organization for a JDR Modeling.

Guy behind it's name is Bryce Morris.

He's got to be the producer
who's been manipulating Kate.

You got something on our missing girl?

Maybe, but that's
not what this is about.

Sir, some rumors are going around

that Deputy Chief Bennett's planning

to replace you.
I asked her if it was true,

and she said you're gonna be reassigned,

some art theft unit.
Thought you should know.

I heard the rumor, but that's all it is.

You sure about that? 'Cause it
sounded like a done deal.

[SIGHS]

We both know Bennett's got it in for me.

Okay, she's been making moves
against me all year.

This is just another one.

I hoped we'd put it behind us.

Bennett's not one to make empty threats.

I don't think you should downplay this.

To do anything, she'd have
to have the brass's support,

and they're all in my corner.
Same as the rank-and-file.

I've had to play politics
for a long time, Hondo.

My defenses are shored up.

And besides, the chief and I
hit the links last weekend.

- [PHONE BUZZES]
- I let him win, for God's sakes.

Team's got intel on our producer.

All right, well, keep me updated.

Yes, sir.

Hey. Just got your text.
What do we have?

We think we found our guy.

Bryce Morris. Runs the modeling agency

who owns the P.O. box.

[GAMBLE] Profile fits
the bill of a sex trafficker.

He's got dozens of aliases and contacts

in cities from here to Cambodia.

Cross-reference his property
records with Vice's list

of predatory houses.

This guy's a slippery bastard.

He owns a bunch
of generic-sounding businesses,

which I bet are just shell companies

- for less-than-legal activity.
- [GAMBLE] Look.

Morris owns this house in Laurel Canyon.

It's on Vice's list.

All right, let's grab Tan and head over.

Just because we don't have
enough evidence for a warrant

doesn't mean we can't have
a talk with him about Kate.

♪ Bad boy, bad boy
do you want... ♪

I can see how these girls
fall for Morris's lies.

Kate lived in a dumpy studio
apartment in East Hollywood,

and then she gets an invite
to live here, rent free?

[HONDO] We know this guy's smooth.

And he's been smart enough
to cover his tracks.

We're gonna have to
play this just right.

Is Bryce Morris here?

We're LAPD SWAT.
We need to speak to him.

Yeah, can I ask what this is about?

We're looking into a missing person.

Right now is not the best time.

[BRYCE] Something wrong, Officers?

[HONDO] Bryce Morris?

We're looking for this woman,
Kate Sennott.

Family's worried.

Hasn't heard from her in days.
Have you seen her?

[SIGHS] I wish I could help.
Kate left the other morning.

Didn't say where she was going.

All the girls here,
they come and go as they wish.

[GAMBLE] Could we speak to
some of your other residents?

In case Kate told them
where she was going.

Most of them are working right now.

What is it the women do again?

They make lifestyle content
for social media.

Seems the Internet has
an insatiable appetite for it.

Gated property,
security cameras, guards.

Hard to believe anyone leaves
without your approval.

Look at these girls.

Security's only here to protect them

from unwanted attention.

Girls? Would you come over here?

These officers have
some questions for you.

Now, do they look unhappy?
This place is paradise.

Ask your questions, be on your way.

[HONDO] Ladies,

do the three of you
feel safe living here?

Is everything all right?

Of course.

I mean, I've only been here a week,

but this place is a dream.

Bryce takes good care of us.

[HONDO] And you're allowed
to go off the property?

Leave whenever you feel like it?

[WOMAN] Yeah...

[TAN] Hey, I'm Officer Tan.

I'm with LAPD. What's your name?

Uh, Lucy.

Why aren't you enjoying
yourself with the other girls?

Just doing some chores.

I should probably get back to it.

We just want to make sure
that you girls are safe.

Are you able to leave if you want?

Say no to making content?

You can trust me.

I'm trying to find Kate Sennott.

Is she a friend of yours?

Kate left.

She wasn't cutting it.

Hey.

Get your guy away from there.

All right, I've been
more than accommodating.

- Now, it's time for you to go.
- Okay, okay. We're leaving.

But don't think you're off our radar.

Those girls just arrived.

They're still bright-eyed and trusting.

They'll be changing
their tune in a few weeks.

The one I was talking to
was a little less polished.

She was about to tell me something.

Morris has to be lying
about the trafficking ring,

about Kate, all of it.

I agree, but we need proof,
and the sooner the better.

Bryce Morris is smart.

So far, he's managed
to evade the police.

And from what we can tell,

he's been keeping
these cam girls working

by pumping them up with drugs
and empty promises.

What starts out as
fairly innocent content online

quickly turns X-rated.

Cam girls don't have
that long of a shelf life.

Once they burn out,
he's probably trafficking them.

It just feels so crazy that none
of these women are catching on.

Although, in Kate's voicemail,

it sounded like she was
getting wise to Morris's plan.

That was only a few days ago.

What if he still has her
trapped in his house

waiting to line up a buyer?

Could be why he didn't let us in.

All right, keep looking into Morris.

Hidden holdings, shady connections.

We need hard evidence
to get inside his operation.

Any luck finding something

that'd get us into Morris's house?

Not yet, but take a look at this.

This is the girl I talked to
at the house.

Looks like she's on the downslope, too.
Her demand's waning,

and her videos have taken a dark turn.

She's going down the same path as Kate.

We've got to find a way to get inside.

I have an idea.

Come on.

[COMPUTER CHIMING]

Where have you been?
You have a customer. Pick it up.

[CLEARS THROAT]

Hey. What'll it be, handsome?

Hey, Lucy, you're the girl
I've been looking for.

Do you remember me?

I don't know. When did we last chat?

What the hell is this?
You trying to get me in trouble?

No, I'm worried about you.

Just let me do my job.

Lucy, wait. I'm Officer Cabrera.

Look, Bryce is good at what he does.

Even the smartest people
get played by him.

Like Kate was.

Kate wasn't played.

She wouldn't do the other kinds
of videos that Bryce wanted,

so he kicked her out.

Does Bryce force you to make
those more violent videos?

It's what the clients want,
so I do what I have to.

It's not a big deal.

Kate said no,
so they threw her out.

[TAN] Do you really
think Bryce just let her go?

After she stood up to him like that?

That's what Bryce told us.

All I saw was a guard
leading Kate out of her room.

She wouldn't stop crying.
Kind of freaked me out.

[TAN] Listen to me, Lucy.
Kate wasn't kicked out,

she was taken to be trafficked.

Bryce Morris is running
a sex trafficking ring

that you are right in the middle of.

Come on.

Be real.

You guys were here earlier.

If Bryce is so bad,
why didn't you arrest him then?

We can't enter without cause.

Bryce covers his tracks.

He makes sure there's
no evidence connecting him

to the trafficking ring.

But you could be next.

We know your videos
aren't getting

as many views as they used to.

That's why Bryce is pushing you
to do darker content, right?

Once he's gotten
as much money as he can,

he will put you up for sale

and ship you off
to who-knows-where.

[CABRERA] If you tell us
that you feel threatened

or that you're in danger,
it'd be enough cause for us

to enter and help you.

Just say the word.

Yes.

Yes, please. I need help.

I'm a prisoner here.
I can't leave.

Will you come help me?

We're on our way.

[UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING]

[BRYCE] Cops are back.

Get your guys to hold them off.
We got to clear out the girls.

Copy that.

All posts, the front gate has
been breached.

Chances are Kate's
somewhere in that house,

along with plenty of other
girls who need our help.

LAPD! Drop the weapon. Cover.

Miko.

Move.

One suspect down.

[HONDO] All right,
they're already onto us.

We got to sweep this house
inside and out.

Deacon, three and three. Go.

LAPD with a warrant!

Front room clear.

[TAN] We're LAPD.

- It's okay.
- Let's go. Move outside.

Let go of me. Please!

[GRUNTING]

- LAPD!
- Show your hands!

We got a runner. Cabrera, with me.

On your knees! Hands behind your back.

LAPD. Stop!

[CABRERA] Give it up!

30-David. Second suspect down.

Thank you for coming back.

Of course. Everything's gonna
be okay. I promise.

Get up.

Up. Come on.

- This the last of them?
- There's one more. Kate.

- Headed to a VIP.
- All right.

All right, time to get up.

Come on, Kate. Come on, we got to go.

Let's go. Come on.

[SOBBING] Please, no...

No...

Office clear.

So, where are Kate and the others?

[TAN] Hondo, we got Morris
on the security feed.

He's out front with a guard,
loading girls into a vehicle.

[HONDO OVER COMMS]
We're on our way.

- Get in there.
- [CRYING]

Stop right there, Morris.

It's over.

Stay back. I'm warning you.

[HONDO] You're done, man.

There's no way you're
getting out of this clean.

You're a lot of things,
but you're no killer.

Drop the gun and let the girls go.

All right.

All right.

It's the bikers.

Rizzolo, stand down! We got this.

Gamble, cover.

[GRUNTS]

[GUNFIRE]

[GAMBLE] Kate's locked in the car.

Morris is gonna make a run for it.

- [RAPID GUNFIRE]
- Get low!

Deacon, cover us!

Gamble, move.

Last man.

Let's go.

Stay on the ground, stay on
the ground, stay on the ground.

- Gamble, you're driving.
- Say no more, boss.

There he is.

[SIREN WAILING]

Stop the car.

Stop the car!

- Shut up!
- [SHOUTS]

Go back to sleep.

Come on, Nolan, you're out of options.

[TAN] Drop your weapons!

Kate doesn't want
to see you get killed, man.

She cares about you.
Let's put an end to this.

All right. We're coming out.

Turn around and face the wall.

Drop those weapons!

- On your knees.
- Put your hands behind your back.

30-David. The bikers are in custody.

[SIREN WAILS]

Stop it, bitch.

Hang on.

Now.

[TIRES SCREECHING]

[PANTING]

Ah! All right, man. Take it easy.

You're lucky this is
all I'm doing to you.

I got you, I got you.

I'm here. We're here. Are you okay?

- Yeah.
- Okay.

20-David. We're Code 4.

Bryce Morris is in custody. Kate's safe.

[SOFT MUSIC PLAYING]

Right this way.

[GASPS] Ben!

Kate! Oh, you're okay.

You're okay.

I promise, I always got you.

He may actually be able
to keep that promise.

He's not a member of the Dark Angels,

had a clean record before this.

He'll probably catch a lighter
sentence than the others.

Hope so, anyway. For Kate's sake.

I'm just glad we got them
out before it was too late.

After what Morris did,
he deserves everything coming to him.

Thanks for riding with us, Cabrera.

You were a huge asset today.

Wish we got to work together more often.

So, what I'm hearing is,

- 50-Squad's not all bad, huh?
- [CHUCKLING]

Hey, just don't tell Rocker I said that.

Let's kick some ass again soon.

Let's do it.

This is a great place you got here.

[CHUCKLES]

It really feels like you.

Well, it should. I've certainly
been here long enough.

Miguel.

I didn't think you were coming.

Had a change of heart.

Thought I'd hear you out.

Glad you could make it, kid.

First off, let me, uh,

just say

I'm sorry...

...for everything I did back in the day.

The pain I caused wasn't
fair to either of you.

We appreciate that, Wayne.

[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]

Making amends is tough, you know?

It's not enough to apologize.

You got to show change through action.

Pay back what you took.

I can't exactly, uh...

...add up what I owe you and
write out a check, you know.

I hope it's enough
to take accountability

for my part in things.

[ALFARO] Whoa.

What do you mean "Your part"?

What other part is there?

Well, sometimes, I mean,

it was a two-way street, right?

I'd be drinking,

Marie would get me all riled up,

I'd fly off the handle.

We both had a hand in-in
where it ended up.

Am I wrong?

I don't know if that's how I'd
characterize what happened.

It sounds like you think my mom
is to blame for you abusing her.

Whoa, hey! Okay.

Easy, easy. I'm not...

I'm just saying there was a lot of crap

going on back then, okay?

And... [EXHALES] it takes two to tango.

[ALFARO] Okay. All right.
Let's get one thing straight.

My mom let you into our home,

she dealt with your drunk ass,

all while taking care
of me and my sister.

And you repay her by hitting her?

- That's no excuse.
- Okay, come on, man. That's not...

No, no, no, no, no.

We both wanted to put this behind us.

But if this virtuous crap is all an act,

then what's the point?

You're still the same pathetic
loser you have always been.

- Miguel, don't...
- No, stop defending him.

Mom, he doesn't deserve it.

He comes over here
to take accountability,

and throws blame at your feet?

No, it's not right.

Listen to me.

This is the last time I'm gonna
tell you to stay away from us.

If you step one foot out of line,

I'm not a kid anymore.

Yeah, I know.

- You're a cop, you're a big man now.
- Yeah.

Hey. I think this might've
been a mistake, Wayne.

You should go.

[DOOR CLOSES]

[KNOCKS]

Everything good, Commander?

Oh, I assume so.

The deputy chief requested
that we all get together.

In the spirit of transparency,
I wanted you both here

so we could put the rumors

about replacing Commander Hicks to bed.

I'm pleased to inform you
that you have been promoted

to LAPD's new art theft unit.

Congratulations.

[CHUCKLING] Okay.

What is this?

I thought you were serious

about ending the animosity,
stopping all the game-playing.

Let's... let's move forward.

This is moving forward.

SWAT needs new blood.

They need someone else to come in

and take this department
into the future.

And Commander Hicks is
the best person to do that.

Do you know how many years
I've put into SWAT?

That art theft position is

for a young captain looking
to cut his teeth in command.

Not someone of my rank. It's an insult.

Well, the mandate comes from the chief.

He wants you in that position.

I wouldn't say that's an insult.

The chief is on board with this?

[BENNETT] And he signed off.

And all of the senior ranks are
in favor of the promotion.

And if I decide not to play ball?

Well, you can tell the brass
that you reject

- their exciting opportunity.
- [SCOFFS]

O-Okay, I'm sure there's
a compromise here, Leticia.

- Let's talk.
- No, no.

I know how this goes.

Your so-called "Promotion,"

it's just the first push
towards obscurity.

And I'm not gonna be forced

out of the department
I've given my life to.

Consider this my resignation.

I accept.

Sir.

You can't be serious.

I always intended to leave SWAT
on my own terms, Hondo.

I just didn't expect the day
to come so soon.

Good luck finding my replacement.
