Original subtitles

Previously on SWAT... I'm sorry for suggesting

that you weren't up for the task

of running SWAT Academy.

Those recruits are lucky to have you.

Those recruits deserve you in charge. Not me.

Bring them home. They deserve a great leader like you.

Never in my career have I bowed to a threat.

I will tell the truth at the inquiry

into your husband.

I don't care what firestorm

you cook up about Gamble.

I stand by

my officers.

Sir, I just wanted to stop by and say thank you

for whatever it was you did to get Gamble back on the job.

It's good to have you back,

26-David. It's good to be back.

Thank you for not giving up on me.

One wrong move from anyone in this building

and Bennett will make sure there's hell to pay.

ANNOUNCER: May I have your attention, please?

Bus 225, Los Angeles to Chicago,

is boarding at gate three.

All aboard, please.

Thank you for traveling with us.

20-David. Still no sign of the target.

20-Squad, sound off.

ALFARO: 25-David. All quiet

at the coffee stand.

No suspicious activity to report.

TAN: You mean, besides what you'd expect

from a downtown bus station in the middle of the day?

This one dude's using a birdcage as a suitcase.

22-David. Head count is still at 23

in the main terminal.

26-David. 11 new arrivals off the last inbound

heading your way, Deac.

Let's hope one of them's our mystery terrorist.

Been waiting on this son of a bitch for three hours.

DEACON: Patience, Tan.

We've got eyes on all the entrances and exits.

If Goliath shows up, he's got nowhere to run.

He will.

We may not know his face,

but we know exactly what he's coming here for.

HICKS: Just keep that camera pointed

at locker 217, Hondo.

You don't need to go for the Oscar.

The FBI would like another update.

We tapped into the bus station's security feed.

There are 41 civilians, ten staff inside as we speak.

Any one of them could be Goliath.

And that's our best angle of the target locker?

If were given more than just a few hours

to get this operation on its feet,

we could've installed our own cameras.

At some point today,

Goliath will be at the bus station

to pick up an encrypted hard drive

left for him at that locker.

Goliath ran

an anti-government forum on the dark web for years.

How is it that no one knows who the hell he is

or what he looks like? Most of his posts

were run-of-the-mill deep state drivel.

Which is why no one saw it coming when he engineered

that bombing in Kansas last month.

Well, blowing up an FBI field office

and murdering 12 federal employees,

that'll certainly get you noticed.

The FBI now thinks that Goliath's network

is deeper than they thought.

They think he's planning another attack.

Something bigger. All the more reason

to bring him in, find out what's on that hard drive.

Well, we'd better.

There's too many lives at stake

to mess this one up.

[sighs] So, this is what, the fourth 20-Squad operation

that Chief Deputy Bennett has "supervised"?

Should we be worried?

If I were Hicks, I'd be.

Ever since he went behind her back to reinstate Gamble,

Bennett's been very interested in how he runs SWAT day-to-day.

What do you think her endgame is here?

I can't say, man. I can't tell

if all of this is personal or just politics.

[laughs softly] Well, that's bad news for Hicks.

He hates both.

I don't get it.

Why can't we just open the locker, download

whatever's on the hard drive and just put it back?

We barely had time to get into position this morning, Miko.

Goliath could already have eyes on the locker.

Or maybe it's just a trap.

Goliath wants someone to open it, then boom.

Geez. Missed your sunny demeanor, Gamble.

Our best bet at getting Goliath

and the hard drive together is to wait

and see who opens that locker.

Come on, we've been in one place too long.

Let's stop joking around and reposition.

Guess I could go for my sixth cup

of terrible bus station coffee.

[tires screeching]

[distant siren wailing]

Chase? Chase.

What are we doing here, man? This is a bad idea.

Will you shut up and trust me? We need to ditch the van.

Change of plans. Grab everything and follow me.

[door opens]

DEACON:Commander, a group of five men

just entered the bus station.

They seem to be in a hurry.

ANNOUNCER: Last call for Bus 257 to Fresno.

Perfect, there's a bus leaving right now.

Let's go. HONDO: They ignored the lockers,

but they're definitely up to something.

HICKS: All right, hold your positions.

I'm getting on the horn with dispatch now.

[engine receding]

No! No!

[groans] We missed it.

[panting]

It's fine, there's plenty of cars out front to steal.

Come on. Let's go. Chase-- w-wait, you're going back inside? Chase!

Chase!

Let's go! [screams]

Sir, looks like one of the them has a GSW.

It's likely because him and his buddies

just left a botched robbery.

A BOLO's been put out on a crew who just ripped off

a private cash vault in the area.

Ringleader killed the guard before fleeing with the crew.

What the hell is going on?

Oh, a robbery crew just picked the wrong place

to make a getaway.

[woman screams] CHASE:Move it!

Come on. [siren approaching]

[siren wailing]

[tires screech]

OFFICER [over bullhorn]: The bus terminal is surrounded.

Drop your bag, put your hands where we can see them,

and walk slowly towards us.

[people screaming]

[automatic gunfire continues]

Sir, we got gunfire. Moving to engage.

BENNETT: 20-Squad, do not engage the gunmen.

Goliath is still your priority.

Return to your post

and maintain your cover until we have

a handle on the situation.

Ma'am, the target locker is open.

I repeat, someone opened

and emptied the target locker.

Goliath must have just opened it.

Well, the building is locked and surrounded.

No one has left since the gunfire started.

That means Goliath's still inside.

I'm gonna go tell Danny and Owen to block the back door.

I need you two to grab hostages, all right?

Don't argue. This is happening.

All right, everybody, hands up in the air!

Stand up.

Come on. Stand up. Up, up, up!

I want everyone on their feet right now!

No one's going anywhere today.

Get your hands up. Now!

CHASE: Let's go!

They're taking hostages. We need an order.

20-Squad, you are still to follow the primary directive.

Goliath is still in the building.

He could be standing next to you holding plans that could kill

hundreds, maybe thousands.

Maintain your cover.

And until you can identify Goliath and

secure that hard drive,

you're hostages, along with everyone else.

What did I say? You, back there, back there.

Come out, come out. Hands up.

Move.

All right, just don't speak.

Cooperate and you'll be fine.

20-Squad, take your time getting rounded up.

It's okay, it's okay. How many are we dealing with?

Deac and I got two in the lobby.

Come on! Move it!

Move. TAN: We've got three back here,

all with automatic rifles.

They're moving everyone into one space.

All right, form a line.

Then we only got a few seconds to come up with a plan.

HICKS: Hondo, your backpack camera

got kicked over.

We don't have a clear angle

on whoever opened the locker.

Security camera caught three people

taking cover by the lockers when the gunfire started.

We can't see locker 217,

but they all had opportunity to open it.

Then any one of them could be Goliath.

BENNETT: There. Possible suspect hiding

at the back of the terminal, an older white man in a suit.

I got him.

He's sweating already.

BENNETT: And Deacon, the female with the bag behind you,

she was at the lockers, too.

There's no intel suggesting

that Goliath couldn't be a woman.

Stay on her.

We still don't have eyes on suspect three yet.

He's in his 20s, shaved head,

wearing a beige jacket.

TAN: 22-David. I see him.

Guy's looking for a way out already.

He's mine.

Okay-- okay.

HONDO: Okay. Me and Gamble will keep the temperature

with the gunmen at a simmer.

The rest of you, focus on your suspect,

stay in communication.

Hey, you. Yeah. I saw you. You're not special.

Come on. Join the group.

Come on, bud.

All right. Single file, single file.

I want phones, wallets, keys

on the table. Pull them out!

[quiet murmuring]

Give me that. On the table behind you.

GAMBLE: Hondo, we have a problem here.

They're frisking all the hostages, taking bags, too.

They find out we're cops,

this barricade goes from bad to worse.

BENNETT: And tips Goliath

that the authorities are onto him.

HONDO: 20-Squad, we got to ditch our gear.

Badge, comms, guns, all of it.

Hondo, if you do that, we won't be able to communicate.

You and your team will be defenseless.

I don't see any other option, sir.

DAVIS:Move it.

[woman whimpers]

Hey, what are you doing? Keep moving.

Move.

CHASE: Give me that bag. Give it to me.

Give me the bag. Okay.

Phones andwallets.

Phones and wallets, let me get them.

Give them to me. Hand it over.

Got a phone? Got a wallet?

What you got on you?

[indistinct chatter]

All right. A-All right, all right.

[indistinct chatter continues]

Everybody needs to stop talking,

so I can think!

[chatter stops]

Thank you!

If we all work together,

this can end quickly.

If you don't want to work with us, well,

we only need a few of you alive.

So it's up to you.

[microphone hisses]

[over microphone]: Can everyone hear me out there?

We have 40 or so hostages,

and I'm prepared to kill them all

if my demands are not met.

I need a bus,

for me and my friends to go on a field trip.

The hostages will come, too.

Once we're safe and far away, I'll let them go.

You have 30 minutes to comply before people die.

[rising chatter]

Don't test me.

What did I say about noise?!

Are you trying to piss me off?

Huh?

Hey, man.

Your wound.

Your wound looks pretty nasty.

I was a combat medic.

I can take a look at it, since we're all just sitting here.

Fine. Fine.

Let's go.

Hold on.

I'm gonna need an extra set of hands to patch you up.

That's my sister right there.

Let her come with me.

Fine.

We can do this in the lobby.

Let's go.

I don't like watching anyone lay hands on my team.

Who are they?

RHD just sent over their rap sheets.

The ringleaders are Chase and Davis Rodwig,

brothers out of San Pedro.

Couple of minor arrests between them.

They're just small-time crooks.

Never underestimate weak men in over their heads.

This Chase guy's already killed today

and he might do it again if he feels cornered.

I'm gonna get the bus he's asking for

on standby, just in case.

You're entertaining their demands?

Chase wants to leave with the hostages.

That's a one-way ticket for Goliath

right past our perimeter.

You don't want to flirt? Fine, end the date early.

50-Squad's on their way, we'll breach,

subdue these clowns and lock down the hostages.

The second Goliath realizes

that SWAT is on the scene, he will destroy the hard drive,

blowing any chance of taking down his network.

We can't move in until Goliath

is IDed and that hard drive is secure.

There's 40 lives at stake in there,

including five of my officers.

They're my officers, too, Commander.

[whispering]: Hey, don't sweat it, man.

Your boss will forgive you for missing work today. Promise.

I actually was headed to see my daughter.

She had her first baby.

Do you have any pictures?

Tons.

They took my phone.

Why is this happening?

I never leave my house. I'm careful not to fly.

It's not fair, it-it's...

What if I never get to meet my grandson?

Hey.

It's okay.

Hey.

Doing okay?

I'm David. What's your name?

Don't talk to me.

Psst, hey. Thinking about

making a run on that one guy, aren't you? The big one.

What? No. [shushes]

I saw you.

You're gonna make a move.

Hey, I was thinking the same thing, man.

You want to charge him together?

[chuckles] The-the odds are in our favor.

There's more of us than there is them.

You know, we take one, it'll just be

a chain reaction.

- What's your name? - Andrew.

- Andrew? - Mm-hmm.

These guys haven't shot anyone yet,

and I don't want to do anything to change that.

I just want to get out of here at the end of all this.

There's an army of LAPD outside.

We just need to be patient.

[screams]

I swear to God, if you're trying to hurt me...

HONDO: Yo, you're in a bus station,

not an ER.

I'm doing the best I can with what I got.

Now hold still.

Gauze. Davis, if he's not done in the next 30 seconds,

I want you to shoot his sister in the head.

[screams] HONDO: He puts that gun

anywhere near my sister, I'll let you bleed out

right here in the lobby.

[phone buzzing]

Just hurry up.

HONDO: Tape.

DAVIS: Wow.

Your brother looks out for you, huh?

CHASE: Stop talking, Davis.

[phone buzzing]

[grunts]

They're gonna keep calling.

I'm not talking to the cops.

[screams]

This isn't working. I can't stop the bleeding.

[grunts] Back in the Marines,

we had something called QuikClot.

Doubt they got any of that stuff around here.

I bet the cops have it.[grunts]

And if they don't, they could get it.

You could ask for supplies for the hostages, too,

earn trust.

Could be a good look for you

getting the bus you asked for

and getting us out of here.

HONDO: Might want to listen to her, man.

My sister watches a lot of local news.

She knows how things go down.

[phone buzzing]

[grunts]

Uh, don't speak.

I need a few things.

OFFICER: Get eyes on!

[indistinct radio chatter]

Mr. Rodwig.

I have your first-aid supplies

and some water for the hostages, keep everyone calm.

Do you have what I asked for?

Wallets and IDs of the hostages.

Good. I'll contact the families,

let them know their loved ones are safe.

Is that still true?

As long as you give my brother what he asked for.

All right.

What's your name?

Devin.

Well, we're gonna get you out of there, Devin.

Hopefully, these tide you over. Cold ones are on the bottom.

Yeah. Come on. Hey, hey, hey. IDs.

Come on. My brother's waiting.

Excuse me?

[panting]: I-I need to use the bathroom.

Right now.

Fine. Fast.

Thanks.

I have to go, too.

All right, but no more.

Hey. What's in your pocket?

None of your damn business.

What the hell's your problem, man?

Let me see what's in your pocket.

[both grunting]

[shoes squeaking]

What don't you want me to find, huh?

This isn't the hard drive.

You're-you're not...

You're just a junkie who needed a fix.

Hold on.

You're a cop, aren't you?

The hell did you just say?

Deac?

Nod if you copy.

We dug into the hostage IDs.

Alfaro's suspect is named PJ Gorham.

I just got off the phone with his daughter.

He seems on the up-and-up.

Can you confirm?

Good. Tan's suspect

Lewis Jackson has a history of drug use.

Now, he's been in and out of rehab the last few years.

Has Tan got a measure on him yet?

Hold on.

Where the hell is Tan?

OWEN: Move.

BENNETT: Deacon, that leaves the woman next to you.

Her ID didn't come up in the system. It's a fake.

HICKS: Keep an eye on her. Right now, she's our number-one suspect.

CHASE: How's everyone doing in here?

I'm feeling much better.

What the hell's going on in here, Owen?

Why are these two standing up?

Found them fighting over this in the bathroom.

They're just a couple of junkies.

I told everyone to stay seated.

Do you want me to show

all these nice people what happens

when you don't listen? PJ: Oh, my God.

This is how it ends, isn't it? We're all gonna die.

I think he's having a panic attack.

[PJ hyperventilating]

Can someone get me water, please?

[gunshots]

[people screaming]

Everyone sit down

and shut up!

I want everyone back to their seats.

That includes you, old man.

Hey, I got him. Please.

ALFARO: Come on.

Hey, you're gonna be okay.

Just drink some water.

Okay?

All right, sit down. Okay? Okay.

I'm done being patient. We got to get them out of there.

Now is not the time to act with emotion.

If she is Goliath, we need to secure the hard drive

before we make any major moves.

And if it's not her?

Chase is expecting a bus in ten minutes,

and I don't want to find out what he's gonna do

if he doesn't get it.

[phone buzzes]

50-Squad found an entry into the building,

an old maintenance tunnel.

Now, I can have them inside

and ready to blow the terminal door

- in five. - No.

If they move in, she will destroy the hard drive,

and we lose any information about the next attack.

At least let them enter the tunnel.

I said no. 20-Squad's cover is intact.

We follow their lead.

Those were gunshots.

What the hell's going on back there, Davis?

Everything's fine. Stop talking.

We got to find a way to end this standoff

without compromising the mission.

GAMBLE: Maybe there's a way

to get Chase to give SWAT exactly what we want.

He said it himself, he wants a few hostages.

You and I, we offer ourselves up

in exchange to release everyone else?

Sending Goliath and the rest of our team

right into police custody.

That could work, but...

Chase's grip on reality is slipping.

He's not gonna take a deal.

Hey. Hey.

What did I say?

[low]: Maybe we don't need Chase.

Where's your brother?

I got to check his wound.

He said he's coming right back.

Do you honestly believe that?

HONDO: Davis, what are you doing, man?

Your brother's not okay,

and I got my kid sister here to think of.

Yeah, today was supposed to be clean and easy.

In and out.

But your brother screwed it up.

Yeah, well...

Chase just has this way of taking things over.

Like today, this whole job

was my idea, but he just went on and on and on and on

about how we need "more guys, more guns."

Before I knew it, he was shooting

at a guard for looking at him the wrong way.

HONDO: Davis,

you're trying to protect him by going along,

but that's not protecting anyone.

GAMBLE: Brothers are supposed to look after their kin.

Come on, Davis.

It's time for you to step up and look after yours.

[panting]

What am I supposed to do?

You didn't need the bathroom.

You tried to make a run for it. Not cool.

But whatever, you know, it's fine.

'Cause I got a new plan,

in case if you're interested. Just stop.

Look around.

You're not getting anyone out of this,

and you're only gonna make it worse by trying.

If you want to be a coward, fine.

But you'll regret it. It'll haunt you forever, trust me.

What are you talking about?

About a year ago, I was mugged

coming home from dinner with my girlfriend.

Now, it happened so fast, I just-just froze.

I just stood there as they threw her on the ground

and took her purse.

After, all-all I could think about was a do-over.

I would take night walks,

just begging for someone to jump me.

I became obsessed.

I ran my girl away.

Lost my place, lost my job.

I'm supposed to be on a nonstop to Phoenix right now

to literally start my life over.

You were right. I was trying to make a run for it earlier.

I had a bad week at work, lost this... assignment.

I keep telling everyone it's not a big deal, but it is.

I needed a win so badly today.

Just wanted people to see I'm still worth something.

Well, you can't force a comeback.

[scoffs] I mean, I blew up my life

searching for a second chance, but the moment that I stopped?

It found me.

Maybe this is your moment, too.

Andrew, man, this isn't a mugging. They have guns.

[scoffs] So-so do I.

Where'd you get that?

I found it in the planter right there.

When the old man was freaking out.

I'm gonna get us out of here.

DAVIS: Everybody on your feet, now.

Now!

What the hell are you doing?

I called the cops and cut a deal.

Look, we release the hostages

and we get our bus, and these two stay behind

for a little bargaining power.

You idiot.

Bro, be real.

They're never gonna let us leave with this many people.

I'm ending this day from hell.

Now's not the time to cry about it, Davis.

Andrew, don't. Everyone!

[people screaming]

I'm in control now. Put it down.

Okay, tough guy.

Hey.

Let's talk about this, yeah?

Where did you get that from?

ANDREW: I, uh...

I found it, in that planter over there.

Okay, wait, wait, wait. Okay, okay.

All right, everybody sit down.

Now!

Oh.

Someone here is a cop.

That's it. I'm pulling the rip cord.

50-Squad, blow the door.

On the three side, there's a woman in her 40s.

Isolate her immediately.

She's our Goliath.

50-Squad, this is the deputy chief.

Hold your position.

How is it that 50-Squad is ready to breach the door

when I told you no one was to enter that building?

I gave the order anyway.

50-Squad, stand down. Return to command

and do not breach that door.

You're out of your mind. And you are out of control.

You disobeyed a direct order from your superior.

It was a bad order.

You and I are part of a system.

You don't respect that system and you don't respect me.

Why should I?

You've been coming for me

ever since I got your husband fired.

And you dragged SWAT through the mud in the process.

This has nothing to do with my husband.

This has everything to do

with your outdated style of leadership.

Your insubordination

has put the lives of everyone in this building

and this mission at risk.

You're relieved of duty.

[laughs softly]

I'll take it from here.

I'm not leaving.

Not while my team's lives are in jeopardy.

You'll leave my Mobile Command or I'll have you escorted out.

[indistinct chatter]

So, who is it?

Who's the cop?

No, couldn't be you.

You couldn't tell the safety from the trigger.

How about you?

You look like you know something you shouldn't.

Do you know who the cop is?

Tell me who the cop is

and I'll hand it over to you.

Don't tell me, and I'll shoot.

Enough.

It's me.

All right?

That's my badge you found.

CHASE:Why did you hide your gun?

Because I'm off duty.

I didn't want you using me as a bargaining chip.

We searched all over the station.

I found these.

[sniffles]

Nice try.

I don't know what the hell's been going on

in this bus station, but I do know

that if three more cops don't show themselves right now...

...this one's gonna get a bullet to the spine.

Right here.

DEACON:Don't do something you're gonna regret.

CHASE: That's only two.

There's one more left.

I'm right here.

[exhales]

So you were lying the whole time?

He's my brother. You really think

I'm gonna sell him out?

HONDO:Chase,

the deal your brother took is still on the table.

Let everybody here but us go.

You'll still have all the power.

I know exactly how much power I have.

Separate the cops.

I have a call to make.

It's time for a new deal.

[phone buzzing]

Patch him through.

This the old guy?

BENNETT: You got his boss. Chase, I think you realize

you've gotten yourself into some complicated LAPD business,

so I want you to know, I don't care about you.

I just want the hostages safe.

Ah, well, that's why you can't have them.

Whatever's going on here feels pretty big,

so I'm holding onto all the cards

until me and my guys are far, far away.

[sniffles]

I want two buses. Two.

With the windows blacked out.

I'm splitting everyone up to make it harder

for you to follow us, and I dare you to try,

'cause if see a single chopper or follow car or whatever,

your cops will pay the price.

I don't think I can do that.

Yes, you can.

You're the boss.

I'm timing ten minutes on my phone.

You know what happens if we don't have our buses

when that timer goes off.

TAN: Sorry, Hondo. I had to come forward.

This is all on me.

HONDO: No one's blaming you.

None of us would let an innocent person

take a bullet meant for us.

[sighs]

We know who you are.

And I promise you,

there is no way you're getting out of here.

Oh, my God.

Are you here looking for me?

[whispering]: I don't know what my husband told the police,

but I'm not missing, I swear.

I just couldn't take it anymore.

Wait a minute, you're-you're running from your husband?

As far away as I can get from him.

I can't take the abuse anymore.

Listen to me.

I will do everything I can to keep you safe.

Just keep your head down.

I got you.

Okay.

She's not Goliath.

She's just trying to escape

an abusive husband, and that's why she's got a fake ID.

So none of our suspects were Goliath?

So who the hell opened that locker?

CHASE: All right, everybody, get up.

Our rides are here.

[indistinct chatter]

Remember to keep those hands where we can see them.

It's gonna be a long drive.

Owen's texting us. He wants to know where we're going.

Tell him to keep driving. But how long?

What's the plan? I don't know, I'm still

figuring that part out, all right?

I got us this far, didn't I?

So, what's the play, boss? 'Cause I have a feeling,

as soon as these guys realize they're in a vehicle

with no chance of blending in,

they're gonna do something dangerous or stupid.

Bennett and Hicks may have only had a few minutes,

but they wouldn't have sent us off without a way out.

ALFARO:Maybe that's why they chose city buses.

Uh, what do they have others don't?

Bus ads.

They ran this recruitment ad

back when me and Bennett were on Patrol.

Damn. How do you remember that?

That's Bennett on the poster.

She caught a lot of flak for it,

but it put her in good favor with the brass.

Looks like she had the last laugh.

ALFARO: Smart.

Bennett must've known we were sitting up front.

[sighs]

I know you blame yourself for this,

but the fight's not over.

You're one of SWAT's best officers.

We need your head in the game.

Yeah, but that's all I'll ever be, Deac.

Just an officer.

I was running SWAT Academy,

finally standing shoulder to shoulder with you and Hondo.

Now it feels like I'm back at the kids' table.

I mean, you have nothing to prove,

to anyone on this team.

The harder you try, the worse you're gonna feel.

[scoffs] You know, the guy

sitting next to me heading to Phoenix?

He actually gave me the same advice.

Phoenix?

There's no bus heading to Phoenix today.

He said he was heading direct.

No, I-I looked at that stupid bus schedule all morning.

I can tell you how to get from Reno to Skaneateles.

There's no bus to Phoenix.

At first, this guy Andrew, he wanted help breaking out.

But when I told him how many cops were outside,

he suddenly dropped it.

Then he gets a gun,

he pulls it at the worst possible time.

And the only thing he accomplished

was blowing our cover.

Why would he do that?

He wanted Chase to use us as leverage to get this bus.

Because that's what Andrew really wants,

a way to slip past the LAPD perimeter.

He's been in front of me this whole time.

Andrew is Goliath.

ALFARO: Incoming, Hondo.

[people screaming]

He knows we know.

If he gets ahold of a weapon, this becomes

a totally different kind of crisis.

Hey. Sit back down.

Not happening.

You have no idea who I am.

[grunting, people screaming]

It's now or never, Deac.

You take the driver. Goliath's mine.

ALFARO: All right.

Enough!

Don't be stupid, Chase.

I already warned you what I'd do to you

if you hurt my sister, but I didn't tell you

what she would do if you tried to hurt me.

Down on the ground.

GAMBLE: Get down. Stay down.

This ride's finally over, Davis.

Stop the bus.

[horn honking]

[tires screeching]

I should have known you were a government worm.

TAN: Shut up!

Where's the hard drive?

[exhales]

[both panting]

Deac, take the driver's phone

and get a message to SWAT HQ.

Goliath is down.

The hard drive is secure.

[indistinct chatter]

That was a pretty smooth save back on that bus.

Kept your cool and you knew when to strike.

Didn't even need a signal. What can I say?

We rocked that sibling psychic connection, huh?

I know that's right.

[laughs]

It's really good to have you back on the team.

I wouldn't be here without you, Hondo.

I mean, I don't know if I'd be anywhere

if you hadn't have stepped up all those years ago.

Look, we may have been playing today,

but I do look at you like a sister.

I already got two brothers, and they drive me crazy.

Despite their best intentions,

they usually find a way to ruin my life, so...

[chuckles] ...yeah, it feels good

to know I have another one out there

who I can actually rely on.

No matter what.

[sighs]

What flipped his switch from instigator

to full-blown terrorist?

His girlfriend was killed.

A mugging gone wrong.

Andrew decided that it was an inside job

by the FBI to shut down his website,

which only pushed him further over the edge.

TAN: And so, he wasn't totally lying to me.

Only difference is, he was looking for revenge,

not redemption.

Tan, you should come by my office

sometime, we've got a couple

of joint ops in the pipeline.

We could certainly use somebody with your

SWAT talent who can pivot when the heat gets turned up. HONDO: I know

you're not trying to poach

one of my best guys, now, are you, ma'am?

I just finished pulling this team back together

after the last time you tore us apart.

Not trying to steal, just borrow.

Look, I know that, uh,

things have been very tense around here.

But 20-Squad

really showed up today.

And I would like to thank you.

Every one of you.

Where's Commander Hicks?

HICKS: Right here.

Just finishing up a call with the FBI.

You all mind if I have a private word with the deputy chief?

[Bennett clears throat]

[whispers]: It's fine.

You're still here.

If you thought I was gonna leave before I knew

every one of my officers was safe,

you don't know me.

Today was a mess.

I would like nothing more

than to put it behind me-- to put it behind us.

Unfortunately, that can't happen.

And here I thought we were gonna hug and make up.

You crossed a serious line,

giving that order

behind my back.

In my entire career,

I have never met anyone...

[sighs]...with such gross disregard

for command authority.

Save the speech, Bennett.

You've been waiting for months

for a chance to take a shot at me.

I've given over 20 years of loyal service

to this job.

If you think I'm just gonna roll over?

Uh-uh. No.

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

[phone buzzing]

It's the chief of police. [chuckles]

I got a lot to tell him.

Have a good night, Commander.

It's Bennett.
