Previously, on
"SWAT"...

There's gonna be an article
in the L.A. Times

- coming out tomorrow.
- Mayor's gonna have your head for this.

You're being demoted
from 20-Squad leader.

There have been rumors
20-Squad might not be reforming.

What's Hondo got to say
about this?

TAN: Hondo's gone, man.
Rumor is he's in Mexico,

but nobody from SWAT's
heard from him.

You can help my
mother and me.

[grunts]

[woman screams]

Why don't you
just leave that family alone.

That way, I can go back
to what I was doing:

- nothing.
- STREET: This time tomorrow,

you and I could be
on different teams.

And I'm done.

Pretending...
for each other.

It's probably our last ride.

STREET: Soon as we get
the new assignments,

- I'm asking you out. Deal?
- Deal.

You run the show until this team
leader mess gets sorted out.

There's nothing to sort out.

Hicks is gonna split us up

and put us
on different squads.

Hondo's gone, 20-Squad's done.

What kills me, he's gonna come back,
his team will be gone.

- DELFINA: You're leaving?
- HONDO: I got what I needed.

You never told me
what you do back home.

I help people.

DEACON: There's no 20-Squad
without Hondo.

- It's time to get back to work.
- LUCA [chuckles]: Yeah, baby.

How's my team?

Here you go.

Thanks, Pop.

DANIEL:
So,

first day back to school.

[chuckles]

All right, whatever criticism
you got stuck in your throat,

go ahead
and spit it out already.

I just can't believe
that you... walking back

into that same damn building,

playing good
little soldier

after the way the LAPD
disrespected you like that.

I don't disagree.

Then why you doing it, then?

I had a lot of time in Mexico
to try to figure that out.

Oh. Well,
you want to clue me in, then?

I still think
I can do good, Pop.

I can still make a change.

Oh, yeah, you can
make a change.

You made so much of a change
that they demoted your ass

for doing the right thing.

[scoffs]

You know, if it was me,
you know what I'd be saying

to them bosses of yours?

I got a pretty good idea,
Pop. Look...

I can't be late
for class.

Hey, son.

They don't deserve you.

I want you to promise
me one thing.

Just... one thing.

What's that?

If they try to take
your dignity from you

that you walk away.

For good.

No doubt.

I love you, Pop.

I love you, too, son.

[door closes]

This is weird, right? Us all
getting called in like this?

I'm telling you,
they got to be putting 20-Squad

back together again.

If that's true,
who's running the show?

No way the suits downtown
changed their minds on Hondo.

- So Deacon, then.
- Deac already turned it down. Tan.

- What are you hearing?
- Officially? Nothing.

But I just finished a shift
with 50-Squad.

Rocker stuck his head
in the locker room,

- called me a defector.
- [laughs] Dude, no question.

- 20-Squad is back in the saddle.
- Know soon enough.

I just saw Hondo and Deac
headed up to Hicks's office.

- [door closes]
- 20-Squad's been reinstated.

I thought that would get
more of a reaction from you two.

That's not all, though.
Who's team leader?

SANCHEZ: You always
got to watch your six, fellas.

[laughs]
You never know

- who might be lurking in the shadows.
- Sanchez.

- How are you?
- [Sanchez chuckles]

Whose idea was it
to ambush us?

- Who do you think?
- SANCHEZ: God, you two are a sight.

Although, Deac, a little more
salt, lot less pepper

- last time I saw you.
- What are you even doing here?

I figured you left SWAT in
your rearview a long time ago.

I did. I've been climbing
my way up the department.

- All the way to the mayor's detail.
- Oh, I got stories

for you, believe me.

None of them compare

to my SWAT days.
So, when I heard there was

a team leader slot open,
in 20-Squad, no less,

I figured
you cango home again.

Sanchez comes to us
with the commission's

full seal of approval.

For what that's worth.
But I guess the commission's

gonna shove some jackass
down your throat.

- Yeah, why not this jackass?
- My thoughts exactly.

HICKS: Let's get 20-Squad
up and running ASAP.

Take Sanchez down,
inform the rest of them.

We'll circle back if
there's any other details

- we need to work out.
- Appreciate it, Commander.

HICKS:
Yep.

[door opens]

Hey, Deac, hold up a sec.

Hondo, if it's
all the same,

I'd like to make the intros
to the young guns myself.

You're there, they're
gonna be more focused

on trying to read you
than listening to me.

Sure. Makes sense.

Welcome aboard.

Thank you.

You good with this?

It is what it is.

I'm just surprised
you didn't take the job.

Look, I-I wanted
Durham and his racist pals

out of here
as much as you.

It's just what you did
got you demoted,

and... didn't feel right
coming out of all that

and taking your spot.

Not without talking to you.

- Means a lot, Deac.
- Course, you'd know all that

if you'd answer your phone
or any of the texts I sent

- while you were gone.
- I know.

- And I am sorry.
- It's okay.

I get it.

We're good.

Yeah.

Rocker wasn't easy on me
at first,

but the team was
growing on me.

- You having second thoughts?
- Nah, no way.

If 20-Squad's back together,
I'm all in, for sure.

[knock on door]
Just who I was looking for.

Street, right?

Not looking too bad just
coming off major surgery.

And, Tan, dude,
I got a buddy in Vice

who raves about you.
Alonso, I hear

you're the best sniper
in SWAT.

I'm your new 20-David,
Rodrigo Sanchez.

I'm SWAT OG
from before your time,

but I worked with Hondo,
Deacon, Luca.

They were all my brothers.

I look forward
to making you family, too.

Well, good to meet you.

- It's great to have the team back.
- Soon as you're readied up,

- let's all meet outside, yeah?
- Yeah.

He's 20-David now?

I hadn't thought about that.

What's that make Hondo?

It'd make him
27-David, I guess.

- That doesn't sound right.
- TAN: Yeah, well,

sounds like we're gonna have
to get used to a lot of things.

[engine turns off]

Everything all right?
Can't be parked here.

WOMAN: Um, it's... My-my stupid truck,
it just... It died.

I don't mean to be a hard-ass,
but it has to move.

Need me to call a tow?

Oh, no.
That's so sweet,

but, um, I'm waiting
for my boyfriend.

He has the magic touch,
so he'll fix it.

All right.
I'll check back my next pass,

- see how you're doing.
- Okay. Thank you.

Yeah.

Step out of the car. Now.

[grunts]

GARETT:
Go. Go.

What about Dale?

Just go!

This is Riley.
We have a man with a gun

at Elite Wire and Cable.
Shots have been fired.

Yeah,
I guess the rumors are true.

I'm back, baby.

Don't worry, we'll catch up

- on the way there.
- That's Hondo's seat.

This ain't kindergarten.
Don't need assigned spots.

You sure?

It's all good.
Take it.

LUCA: 20-Squad on scene.
Barricade situation

at Elite Wire and Cable.

[tires screeching]

SANCHEZ:
All right, listen up.

Go in straight stack
on me.

And they got a shooter
inside,

so let's be smart.
Don't need nobody

trying to impress
the new boss.

Let's play it straight and safe,
all go home happy.

Luca, you with me?

Absolutely, 100%.

Good. Hondo,
anything you want to add?

- Stay liquid.
- LUCA: Hell yeah, man.

- That's it.
- Let's move.

[indistinct chatter over radio]

This is the LAPD.

The building's surrounded.
You're outgunned,

outnumbered.
Be smart.

Put your gun down and come out
with your hands in the air.

20-David.
No response from the suspect.

Making an entry.

Got it.

Move.

- [metal clangs]
- Luca. Alonso.

CHRIS:
24-David.

We got a security guard
tied up.

No sign of the suspect.

Did you see which
way he went?

[muffled]:
Mm-mm. Mm-mm.

Let's get you
out of here.

[Riley grunts]

24-David. Headed out
with the security guard

to the exit.

27-David. South aisle is clear.
No sign of him.

DEACON:
30-David.

Same on the north.

- Think we missed him?
- That or he was gone

before patrol
secured a perimeter.

Street, tac lights.

Hondo.

LAPD!

Show me your hands!
Hey! Stop!

HONDO:
27-David.

Suspect is moving fast,
running back to the west.

STREET: He's heading
for the east exit.

I said stop!

[Sanchez grunts]

Hell yeah!

Like riding a bike.

[laughs]

Tan, do the honors.

On your stomach,
hands behind your back.

Good job, Sanchez.

[flex-cuff tightens]
[sniffs]

Hey, Deac, wait up.
I'm joining you.

Uh, Tan was gonna jump in there with
me.

The owner of the factory
that was hit in the heist

earlier is on the way in.
I'm-a have Tan team up

with Chris on that one.

And to be honest?

I just wouldn't mind
taking a run at this guy myself.

You catch them, you
clean them, huh?

- That's right.
- All right. Let's have at him.

Tough day, Dale, huh?

Not exactly how you saw it
turning out, is it?

It's okay to speak, you know.
Yeah, but I don't have to.

And I'm not gonna give up
my friends.[Sanchez scoffs]

Well, your friends
ditched you this morning.

They didn't give a damn
what happened to you.

I sure hope you're not gonna try
to cover for them now.

You got to be smarter
than that.

DEACON:
They played you, Dale.

They did.
They played you.

You're the security systems guy,

and, well, once you got them

past the alarm
into the building...

You see how far
that love went.

- Who are they?
- [Dale sighs]

- I don't really know their names.
- SANCHEZ: All right.

Then what were they after?
What'd they take?

I don't really know that,
either.

Look, the girl came to me,
just needed me

to kill a security system.
No big thing.

Offered me
a thousand bucks to do it.

[clicks tongue]

Is there anything
you can tell us about them?

Dale, give us
something to work with.

One of the guys,

she called him
the Chemist.

Oh, and the-the license plate.

- You got a plate?
- Part of it.

It was "007," which I thought
was kind of cool.

Maybe good luck or something.

Guess you're not as useless
as we thought.

[door opens & closes]

[sighs]

That wasn't as much
fun as I remembered.

[chuckles softly]Yeah, well,
it's-it's a lot better

when they put up at least
a little bit of a fight.

[laughs]

It's good to be back, though.

So, how's the missus
and, uh, Lila?

Well, they're good.

Um, also, there's Matthew

and Samuel and Victoria.

[chuckles]
Holy crap,

Deac. When are you gonna
give poor Annie a break?

[chuckles]
How about you?

- You, uh, you still with Brandi?
- Nah, Brandi was one wife

- and two girlfriends ago.
- Ah.

Sorry.
It's for the best.

You know,
what you said earlier

about me leaving this place
in my rearview...

All the other jobs since,
they haven't come close.

None have ever felt
like a family.

CHRIS:
Her name is Annabeth Kyle.

We talked on the phone.
She says she has no idea

what the thieves might have
been after this morning.

- You believe her?
- I don't know.

But at least she was willing
to come down and talk to us.

The guards, the fencing?

That's all
because of trouble we had

with people stealing copper.

But there really wasn't anything
of value in the storeroom.

Certainly not
worth stealing.

Just books, paintings,

pictures.

Old memories
I couldn't bear to throw away.

There must be something.
The crew specifically targeted

that room, and whatever
they took, they were willing

to shoot a man to get it.

That's an inventory
of everything

that was left in the storeroom.

Notice anything missing?

These are all my husband's
old things.

Their value
is really just sentimental.

Jerry passed away
three months ago.

Sorry.Sorry.

Must be tough.

Well, after he died, I...
[chuckles softly]

I couldn't stand
being at home alone,

so I downsized
to a smaller place.

And Jerry's caretaker
at the end, Pipa,

helped me move all his
stuff to the warehouse,

so she might know better.

Hey, wait a minute.

I don't see
his grandfather's drawings.

- What kind of drawings?
- Uh, Jerry's grandfather was

an architect, fairly prominent
back in L.A.'s golden age.

Howard Kyle?

He designed, well,
20-some buildings downtown.

Jerry was always
pretty proud of that.

But as far as value,

the drawings aren't worth
the paper they're printed on.

I just don't understand

why someone
would want them so badly.

Stealing old architectural
drawings and blueprints

makes me think this morning's
crime's gonna lead to another.

See if we can get copies
of what was stolen.

Might help us
piece things together.

Already spoke
to a historian

at the, uh, Building
Preservation Society.

Hand-drawn layouts
from that far back

weren't digitized,
so no copies exist.

According to our guy
in custody,

one of the suspects
from this morning's crew?

He's called the Chemist.
I hate to say it, but... Explosives?

[chuckles]
I hate to say it, too.

Alonso, get back
with your contact

at the Preservation Society.

I'm sure they can give you
a list

of the buildings
this Howard Kyle designed.

You and Street figure out
how many are still standing,

which ones might
make good targets.

Meantime, I got Tan working

on a partial plate
of the suspects' pickup truck.

"007"? It's casting
a pretty wide net,

but maybe we get lucky.[scoffs]

I hate relying on luck.

Hey. You got a minute?

Course, Luca. What's up?

Look.[footsteps approaching]

I'm just gonna ask it.

Why are you here, exactly?

What do you mean?
Why are any of us here?

This is SWAT.

This is the brass ring
every cop's reaching for.

Nah, you're not here
for any brass ring

or running and gunning with
your old buds or any of that.

- Okay, what's it about, then?
- Look, I know you.

Always a climber,
a self-promoter.

Always looking to grab
the next rung up the ladder.

Coming back here
is a step down for you.

There's no way
that you'd do that

unless there was something
in it for you.

Hell, you left
the mayor's detail for this.[sighs]

Why does everyone think
the mayor's detail

is some kind of prime gig?

99% of the time,

you're just waiting in hallways
or restaurant lobbies.

I got bored out
of my skull.

Trust me,

this right here
is the sweet spot.

Now, I may not have known it
when I left six years ago,

but I sure
as hell know it now.

[phone chiming]

All right, we got to jump.
Looks like Tan might have a line

on our suspects.

What'd you find?

Turns out there are ten white
max cab Ford F-150s in L.A.

with "007" in the tag number.
Got a list of the R.O.s.

DEACON: Anybody stand out
from the crowd?

Nope.
All ten look squeaky-clean.

It's the squeaky-clean ones
you got to look out for.

You're right about that.
The wounded security guard

mentioned a decal on the truck's
rear window in his statement.

DEACON: That's right. Said it
looked like a leprechaun's hat.

Yeah. So, I did
a little digging.

There's a men's service club,

uses a green bowler
as its trademark.

The O'Dunes.Exactly.

Bill Longmire.

Applied for a special permit
to pull an O'Dunes float

in a parade two years ago.

Worth checking out.
Nice work, Tan.

But next time,
I don't need the whole journey.

Just get me
to the destination.

Yes, sir.

The truck's a match,
decal and all.

SANCHEZ: All right. This crew already
proved to be violent,

so let's make sure
they never get

another chance
to hurt anyone else.

Nice speech.

What's the approach?

I was just getting to that,
fellow jackass.

I'll take Luca,

Alonso and Tan
to the one side.

Hondo, take outside in
case we get a runner.

Deacon and Street
to the three side.

Got something
you want to add?

It's just... Six windows

on the left side of the house.
Only two on the right.

Maybe take the right
to minimize exposure?

I disagree.

Why's that?

Because I can.

'Cause there's a little less
cover on that side,

so it's a coin flip.

Look, I appreciate
the input, 27-David,

but as 20-David,
I'll make the call.

Let's move.

[♪]

20-David.

One side clear for entry.

30-David.
In position on three side,

ready for breach.

SANCHEZ: On my count.
One,

two, three.

[TV playing indistinctly]

Give me two.

One who follows
his nature keeps

his original nature
in the end.

But haven't you heard ever
of something better to follow?

LAPD!

TAN: Search warrant!
Do not move!

Hands!
Let's see the hands!

Give me two,
give me two.

What's going on?
What happened?

Your truck was used in
an armed robbery this morning.

Two, two, two.

LONGMIRE: What are you
talking about?

You got any guns
on the premises?

No. And I haven't driven
the truck, either.

It's become too much of a hassle
getting out of this wheelchair.

Anybody else have access
to your vehicle?

LONGMIRE: Just the girl who comes by
to take care of me.

- Pipa.
- LUCA: That's the same name

as the woman who helped
Mrs. Kyle with her storage unit.

Where is she?
Where do we find Pipa?

CHRIS: Two!

LONGMIRE: I don't know.
She's here somewhere.

LAPD! Don't move!

We got a rabbit
on the three side!

[grunts]
Get off me!

What's the situation
in there?

CHRIS:
Stay down!

- You're under arrest.
- SANCHEZ: Nice work,

Alonso.

[grunts]

Look at you, showing
off for the new boss.

Showed you up,
anyway.

SANCHEZ:
Code 4 all the way around.

Suspect in custody.
Hold your position.

Hey, Tan.

That little bit of friction

between me and Hondo
out in the field.

That's not gonna cause
any problems, right?

- With Hondo? No way.
- Not with Hondo.

Hondo's a pro.
Little beef like that,

he was over with it
before we hit the house.

I'm talking about
with the young guns.

You, Street and Alonso.

You got a lot of loyalty
to Hondo.

Hell, he's earned it.

I just want to make sure

that loyalty
doesn't confuse anybody

where the chain of command
is concerned?

No confusion.

Good.
Glad to hear it.

HICKS: That female suspect
you brought in. Pipa?

She's keeping her mouth shut.
She's not saying a word.

Haven't been able to work
my charms on her yet.

Too late. She lawyered up.
Public defender's already here.

I guess she'd rather go down
as an accessory

than face whatever her
coconspirators would do to her.

Maybe it's not fear
that's keeping her quiet.

Maybe it's loyalty

- or some twisted version of romance.
- How do you mean?

SANCHEZ: We just got a dump
of her phone records,

and for five months, she's
been getting daily rings

from an inmate
up at Lancaster.

- Regular, like clockwork.
- HICKS: Well, she likes bad boys.

- So what?
- Yeah.

Only three weeks ago,
the phone calls stopped.

So either the lovebirds
broke up or...

Or he got sprung in time
to mastermind

- this crime spree.
- HICKS: All right.

Reach out to the prison.
Tell them we're gonna need

a list of every inmate
kicked free three weeks ago.

Ask for Deputy Warden Cook.
Tell him it's Rodrigo Sanchez

- asking.
- Got it.

Hey.
I've been looking for you.

Well, you found me.

What's up?

This whole thing
with Sanchez.

It doesn't strike you
as wrong?

Luca, I knew
what I was coming back to.

It's just growing pains.

We're all gonna have
to adjust a little bit.

No, no,
I mean just him being here.

Don't you think
he's up to something?

Who's up to what?

Well, it sounds like
Luca thinks

that Sanchez is
running some kind of game.

No, I didn't... I didn't say
that. I just have a hard time

believing that he came back
to SWAT after all this time

because he was bored
in the mayor's office

or whatever other story
he's peddling.

So, what do you think
is going on?

I don't know yet,
but it's got to be something.

Look, there's no way
a guy like Sanchez

comes back here
without an agenda.

It just doesn't make
sense.

Luca, when have you
ever liked Sanchez?

I mean, come on.

Back in the day when you guys
were running 30-Squad,

there was always beef
between you two.

Me and Rocker had

to pull you apart
more than once.

You guys are oil and water.
He's arrogant,

self-centered,
always wants the credit,

and-and you're
a selfless soldier

who always
puts the team first.

You-you guys are destined
to bang heads.

Okay, so you trust him, then?

I don't distrust him.

Hey. Just give it a chance.

It's our first day back.
We're all out of our groove.

Let's just wait and
see what happens.

STREET:
Howard Kyle

was prolific, that's for sure.

I mean, to design
22 office buildings,

see them all get built?

It would be pretty cool
to, you know,

leave a legacy like that.

Something sad
about it, though.

Almost half of them
have been torn down.

What kind of legacy is it
if it's crumbled to the ground

and built over
with something else?

Wow. That's pretty dark.
[chuckles]

That really surprise you?

Okay, of the 13 buildings
still standing,

only five seem
like viable targets.

Three are now banks,

one is
in the Jewelry District,

and one is a sneaker store.

They got kicks that
cost more than a car.

[chuckles]

Hicks already alerted patrol
to keep an eye on all 13,

but, uh, why don't you
tell them to add units

around the five
you're talking about.

Okay.

Guess, uh,

kind of blew
our chance, huh?

What do you mean?

For a day and a half,
we were on two different squads.

No rules against dating.

We didn't take
advantage of it.

I'm glad we didn't. I mean,
can you imagine if we did,

and then suddenly we're back

on the same team again?
What then?

Yeah.

Maybe this version of
20-Squad won't last.

I mean, Sanchez can't love

that we're all
Hondo's teammates to the core.

- Mm.
- He'll probably try to shuffle

the deck at some point, get a
couple of his own guys in there.

Might be an opportunity
for me to talk to him.

Talk about what?

Transferring?

Street,

the team's fragile enough
as it is.

Yeah, that's my whole point.
This could be

a temporary situation.[phone chiming]

Maybe.
But it's day one.

Let's just see
what happens.

HICKS:
Tan.

What do you got for us?

TAN:
Prison phone records.

They log
every inmate phone call.

By focusing on inmates
released three weeks ago,

I was able to match the times

and dates
of Pipa's incoming calls

with the phone use
of one of the inmates.

Guy named Garett Hillman.

Probably targeted Pipa for her
connection to the Kyle family.

He's an ex-DEA agent.

TAN: Convicted of stealing
drugs and cash

from one of the agency's
evidence lockers

back in 2014.

Paroled three weeks ago.

I'm guessing he
played Pipa all along,

suckered her into helping him
steal the building plans.

Are we any closer to nailing
their ultimate target?

Two minutes ago,
I'd have said no,

but you just mentioned
the DEA.

Howard Kyle
designed a building

down on Claymore Street.

It was demolished 12 years ago.
But guess what was built

on that same lot,
over that same foundation?

A new DEA
evidence storage facility.

There's no way
that's a coincidence.

Feds made a huge drug
and money seizure

in El Cajon
two weeks ago.

The entire haul could be sitting
in an evidence locker there.

If Hillman still has
connections inside the DEA,

he'd know about this.

That building?
That's got to be our target.

Tan, get them on the line
and give them a heads-up.

Make sure everyone
and everything

over there is accounted for!

[line ringing]

This is good work, Street.

Chris had a hand in it, too.

Makes no sense.
They should be picking up

at the evidence locker.

[gas hissing]

[♪]

[siren chirping]

Sergeant Harrelson!
Soon as you're ready,

- I'll run it down for you.
- Hit pause, Raquel.

I'm not the guy
to talk to anymore.

Sanchez is our
new team leader.

- You the senior on lead?
- Yeah.

- What do you got for me?
- Well, per your commander's orders,

no one's gone in or out.

We locked the perimeter
as soon as we got here,

did a check... so far,
everything looks secure.

- All right, thanks.
- Yeah.

- Still no one in there answering.
- All right.

Deacon, take Luca,
Street and Alonso.

Start on the two side,
check for signs of penetration

around the building.
Hondo, Tan, you're with me

on a one-side breach,
shallow to deep. Everyone copy?

Hey! You all got mouths,
use 'em. Speak up.

Roger.

- Roger.
- Roger that.

- Roger.
- Roger that.

All right, let's roll.

She's alive.

Wait a minute.

Smoke,
or some kind of gas.

Let's mask up.

Tan, mask on.

He's alive.

Must be a sleeping agent.
The work of "the Chemist."

Got two more
down over here.

Both still breathing.
We gotta get them out of here.

DEACON:
30-David to D-Team.

All sides of
the building are clear.

- No signs of forced entry.
- Copy that, 30-David.

Keep your eyes peeled.

So, they didn't
breach the building

from the outside
or come in from the front.

Maybe we beat them here?
The smoke was put in play remotely.

No. They went out of their way
to get the blueprints

of the building
that used to stand here.

- They found another way in.
- Tan,

evac these people and get the
paramedics to check them out.

Roger that.

Sanchez, lights.

TAN: 25-David, we have three victims,
unconscious from inhaling

unknown substance.
Need R/A, my location.

[♪]

Sanchez, you see that?

SANCHEZ:
Yeah.

Air looks clear here.
Masks off.

All right.

LAPD!
Show me your hands.

27-David to D-Team,
we are taking fire.

Suspects are in a sub-basement
tunnel below the building.

DEACON:
Roger that.

All units, this is 30 David.

Suspects are armed,

proceed with caution.

[grunts]

Sanchez, they're rabbiting.

After you.

27-David to D-Team,
suspects are in the tunnel

heading north.
We are in foot pursuit.

SANCHEZ:
These old tunnels must

date back to
Howard Kyle's designs.

HONDO: Which means they know
the layout better,

but they got to get past
the topside perimeter

to make an escape.

These tunnels have switchbacks,

but the decommissioned
water channels

run straight.
That's our play.

Come on, man!
Move your ass!

This cash is heavy, man!

You grabbed the light bag.

Move!

Deacon,
we're moving northwest now,

probably 200 yards
from where we dropped in.

- DEACON: Roger that!
- 20-David to D-Team,

roll armored on that heading.

You got to stay
above these guys.

We're on the move.
Keep feeding us your position.

Hey, remember how we took
down the Vargas brothers?

Those tunnels in Little Tokyo?

Still on my
"greatest hits" list.

We're closing in on you!

You know that, right?
It's only a matter time

before we lock your asses up.

[panting]

Come on!

I'm not gonna
wait for you!

BROCK:
Help!

Brock?
Brock!

If you're realgood, we might
come back for you after.

[panting]
Our latest greatest hit.

Won't mean a whole hell of a lot
if the last one gets away.

What are we
standing here for?

27-David to all D-Teams,

we are moving east,
best as I can tell,

about 100 yards
from our last position.

SANCHEZ:
Deac, be advised, suspect

has a good lead on us.

Roger that!
We're fanned out,

just south of you now,
near Greeley.

LAPD!
Stop right there!

Deacon, our suspect
is above ground.

I repeat, Garett is topside,
making an escape.

Led us right to him, Hondo.
We're in pursuit.

Eyes on suspect,
Eighth and Greeley.

He's headed for a car,
mid-Greeley.

[engine starts, revs]

Garett Hillman, this is LAPD!
Get out of the car,

put your hands in the air!

CHRIS:
Shut off the car, now!

Get your hands
where we can see them!

LUCA: It's over, Garett.
Turn the engine off,

hands on the wheel
and do not move.

Chris, rear window.

Switching to pepper balls.

[Garett coughing]

Get your hands
where we can see them!

- All right, all right!
- Get out of the car,

- put your hands in the air!
- All right, all right!

- I'm coming out.
- Get out!

On the ground right now...
On the ground!

Hands behind your back!

STREET:
26-David.

Final suspect in custody.
Show us Code 4.

[♪]

Team, hold up a sec.

I want to address something.

Usually, we do
the after-action debriefs

- while we're still in the field.
- This ain't a debrief.

I got nothing to criticize.

That was tight
work back there.

Just a victory speech, huh?

No, let's call it
a confession.

All right,
cards on the table,

I was sent here to figure out
what's in the water...

See why this team imploded
the past few months.

Officer Rogers getting killed
on your watch;

Deac, you recording other
cops; Hondo,

you leaking to
the Times...

- You're leaving out a lot of context.
- You're right.

I see that now.

It's clear I don't need to
pull you back together...

You're already
kick-ass as a team.

I came here
thinking this was gonna be a chore.

But after today, I'm just
looking forward to tomorrow.

Great job,
every one of you.

Thanks.

- We appreciate it.
- Thanks.

Listen up.

May not be what we expected,
but we're gonna make it work.

He's lucky to have you,
and so am I.

Just glad you're finally back.

Glad we're all back.

Sanchez ain't wrong.

It is gonna be fun,

- going forward.
- [scoffs]

Well, didn't make things
sound very temporary, did it?

So, I guess 20-Squad's back
for good.

And so are the rules.

You know, I never thought
I'd be disappointed

to have to keep
working with you.

What do we do now?

We keep doing
what we've been doing.

For how long?

As long as we have to,
I guess.

[sighs]

Uh, Sergeant Harrelson.

Just wanted to let you know,
I'm glad to see you're back.

Means a lot.

We met before?

No, I'm Reece Tatum.

SWAT cadet.

You taking on the system,
calling out those racist cops?

You're the reason some of us
signed up for this.

Just wanted to
let you know.

[chuckles]
I appreciate you, my man, I do.

Good luck
in the SWAT Academy.

Hey, Pop.

Hey, son.

Listen, I made some salmon
if you're interested...

Brown rice, broccoli.

So, tell me:

how was the first day
back to school?

It was all right.
[sighs]

Seeing my team again
felt real good.

But watching another guy
lead 20-Squad,

hearing him use my call sign...

Let me guess...
Flat-out sucked.

To be honest, it hurt.

You made your choice.

I did.

And I support that.

Salmon's in the fridge.

Thanks, Pop.

- I'll see you in the morning.
- Hmm.

[knock on door]

Hey. Hey, sorry to just
drop by like this,

but, um, can we come in?

Sure.

Hondo, meet Renee.
This is Hondo.

- How you doing?
- Hello.

- Is everything okay?
- Not really. Um...

look, I know
you and Deacon think

I'm off base
about Sanchez.

And it's true... I never vibed
with the guy back in the day.

And after our talk earlier,
I was pretty much ready

to just roll with it
for the sake of the team,

but I decided to make
a couple of calls first.

Renee here,
she's a staffer

for the police commission.

Tell him.

First, you did not hear
any of this from me, okay?

I mean, I wouldn't even be here
except for the fact that

I really respect you for
what you did, going public.

- People needed to know.
- Yes, they did.

So, when I heard that my boss
and the others on the commission

were demoting you, I thought,
"Well, that-that's not right."

It's not.

The other day,
when the bosses heard that

you were returning to SWAT,
they weren't happy.

So, they came up
with a plan.

A plan?

Rodrigo Sanchez.

They sent him to
get you to quit.

It's his one and
only job there.

They offered him
something big

- if he could do it.
- Okay, hold up.

Sanchez is
in on this?

[sighs]

RENEE:
I overheard him

telling my boss that it wouldn't
take him long to get rid of you.

Look, I am risking my job
telling you this,

but after talking to Luca,
I just...

I thought
you should know.
