Previously on SWAT...My dad killed a cop.

Doesn't matter
that it was a decade ago.

Soon as word gets around,
it's gonna be

the same old thing. HONDO: You got one warning.

You mess with Gamble,

you mess with 20-Squad,
that means you mess with me.

I really like you, and I know
we said it was only casual,

but I don't want
to lose you.

I know you've taken
this job overseas, but

I was wondering if maybe--

I was thinking
of turning the job down.

He's already released
the inmates in the control unit.

He wants to start a damn riot.

This is your final warning:
you stay back.

You're an incompetent moron.

You've got no business
running this or any prison.

When my wife hears
how you handled

things today--SWAT handled what you couldn't!

And now you want
to shift the blame

for your mistakes
onto SWAT?

You're finished.

I guarantee it.

You know, I was really
about to complain about you

dragging me in early,
but watching you choke down

whatever that is
might be worth it.

Well, Maggie loves them.

I think I'd rather
eat my salad than drink it.

But, listen,
I got a heads-up last night

that Deputy Chief Bennett's
coming by SWAT today

to conduct her biannual review.

Well, Bennett oversees
the department.

You got to do
it sometime.

Two months early?

I might buy
there's no ulterior motive

if she wasn't married

to David Bennett.

Warden Bennett
from the prison where we put

that riot down
a couple of weeks back.

Oh, I remember him.

I heard he was
put on suspension.
He was.

Pending a Department
of Corrections inquiry

happening next week,
which I'm supposed to testify.

And then suddenly
Deputy Chief decides to visit?

You think she's coming here
to influence what you say?

I didn't mince words with
the warden during that riot.

I told him I thought
he was incompetent

and unfit for his position.

And immediately he brought up
his wife's name and her rank.

Okay, but that's
on him, sir, not her.

I crossed paths
with the deputy chief

a few times when we
were both on patrol,

and I always found her
to be a stand-up cop.

Well, all right,
I-I hear you, but, uh...

I mean, she's risen up.

And you reach
a command position,

you got to play politics.

And that can change a person
for the worse.

You handle it just fine.

Why don't you reserve

judgment for when she's here?

I'm gonna go suit up.

All right.

Hi.

You sure
you have to get going?

I... could skip
my morning workout,

then I'd have time
for breakfast

or maybe...

Oh. Olivia,

please tell me that was not
a prized family heirloom.

It was a gift from my mom

to celebrate
my first published story.

I'm just kidding.

Thrift store trinket.

It's not a big deal.

But the look on your face?
Priceless.

Okay, if this is
how you want to play,

you can take another assignment
and head right back out of town.

Uh, no, thank you.

After a week in a crappy motel,

I missed my bed, my shower,

and my good Wi-Fi.

Well, I missed you.

Well, maybe you could come
with me next time.

Not to the middle of nowhere.

I'm on a panel next
month in New York.

Maybe we could make
a romantic weekend out of it.

Next month?

Mm-hmm.
Yeah.

I have to check
my schedule at work.

Team's been pulling
a lot of extra shifts.

Sure.

Yeah, that makes, um...

Victor.

Sorry, but I need you to leave.

Now.

Really?
Yeah.

Something's come up.

I'll see you later. Okay?

Right.

Later.

What do you think?

Someone forget to put
equipment away after a workout,

or is finding all this
in Gamble's parking spot

more than a coincidence?

After Hondo told people
not to mess with her?

They'd be crazy.
Or really not
want her on SWAT.

At least she's in
Oakland packing up

the rest of her stuff and
doesn't have to worry about it.

Yeah, but we're here.

I don't think
the security cameras see

far out enough
to tell us what happened.

I don't think so, either.

Morning.
Hi.

Someone's chipper.

I earned it today.

Check these out.

Ooh!

Limited edition,

ForceFlow shoe collaboration
with, um...

Flexxer.
He's a local graffiti artist.

We're aware.
Dude can't spray-paint a flower

on a sidewalk
without going viral.

These are crazy cool.

And freaking impossible to get.

Yeah.
The last drop
sold out instantly.

I didn't take you
for a sneakerhead.
Oh, no.

That's definitely not for me.

Matthew's been desperate
to find a pair,

so got up early this morning,

headed over to the store,
waited in line a couple hours.

Okay. Dad of the year.

Well, I almost wasn't.

No, they sold out as I was

three people
from the front of the line.

But, thankfully,
a woman in the parking lot,

she bought the wrong size.

Turns out they're
Matthew's size,

so I lucked out.

Perfect.
Mm-hmm.

Oh, man, I don't know
how to break this to you, but...

these are fakes.

They're knockoffs.
You got hustled, Deac.

No, no, I checked.

Trust me,
before I paid, I checked.
No, no, no.

You see this tag?

The thread color's wrong.

On the real deal,

it's black.

See?

Oh. Oh, yeah.

They are fake.

Can't believe I fell for it.

These are
crazy good dupes.

Thread color is
the tiniest detail.

Yeah, I wouldn't have known
to look for it

if I wasn't
a sneakerhead myself.

Yeah.

Thing is...

Victoria and Sam,
they're easy to please.

But now that Lila
and Matthew are teenagers,

they're into so many things
that I just,

I don't understand.

So when Matthew
mentioned the sneakers,

I thought, Oh, here's a chance.
I can do something

to light up his world,
like when he was little.

Maybe he won't know
the difference.
Oh, no.

He'll-he'll know.

Let's go to work.

Hey!

Hey, LAPD!

Hey! Olivia!

Stop, stop, stop! Stop, stop!

Move, move, move! Move!

Hey! Slow down, man!

This is LAPD officer Victor Tan

reporting
a kidnapping in progress.

Victim's name is Olivia Navarro.

Olivia's phone is off,
so we can't track her location.

Any hit on the plates?

We ran 'em,
the van popped back as a rental.

Kidnappers used
a fake name.

Rental office's
security cameras were down.

Damn it,
she's been taken.

And our only lead
is a dead end.

Okay, give it time, man.

We put out a BOLO.

We're not the only ones.

I just got off the phone
with the DEA.

They're looking
for the same car.

It turns out it
was used to abduct

Special Agent
Gabriel Rodado

about an hour before
Olivia was taken.

They have any idea why?

Agent Rodado is part
of the DEA's fight

against a Mexican drug cartel.

Doorbell cam caught this
of Rodado's abduction.

That's the man
I saw.

That's the guy who took Olivia.

Name's Pedro Legarra.

He's a top lieutenant
for the Vallarta cartel,

and I'm afraid it gets worse.

DEA figures

he snuck
across the border

by private plane,
and he wasn't alone.

Mechanic recognized
El Sabueso, aka...

the Bloodhound.

So we have a major cartel boss

on U.S. soil?
A sadistic one.

Bloodhound doesn't care if
you're a rival or civilian.

He thinks you crossed him,

he'll torture and kill you
all the same.

Olivia's tough, but she can't
fight off someone like that.

If-if she's not dead
already, she's--HONDO: Hey, hey, hey,

Don't do that,
don't do that, look at me.

We're not gonna stop
hunting the Bloodhound

until everyone he's taken
is found safe.

Sergeant Harrelson and Officer
Tan, this is DEA Special Agent
Bryant.

I understand you witnessed
the abduction of the journalist?

Olivia Navarro.
She's my girlfriend.

I saw her get taken,
I couldn't stop it.

Agent Rodado is my partner.

Any DEA intel I can share

to help bring both of them
home safe, I will.

The Bloodhound coming in person
to kidnap two Americans?

It just feels extreme to me.

Even if the DEA was working to
take down his cocaine operation.

Do you have any idea
what triggered it?

Recently, Agent Rodado
and I started handling

Maria Lozano, the Bloodhound's
former mistress.

We were turning her
as an informant.

Well,
that kind of betrayal,

he was probably trying
to silence her personally.

I assume the DEA upped
Maria's security?

We are still trying
to locate her.

At the time of his kidnapping,

only Agent Rodado knew
Maria's location.

How-how is that possible?

Well, five days ago,

there was a break-in
at Maria's safe house.

Investigation found no link
to the Vallarta cartel,

so the agency denied

my partner's request
to move Maria.

So he moved her himself,
off-book?

Rodado's been working against
the cartel for years.

He knows how they operate.

When he told me Maria was
in danger, I believed him.

And he was right.

But you don't know
where Rodado moved her?

No. I begged him
to let me help,

but he said he didn't want
agency flak coming down on me.

He was probably protecting
me from the cartel, too.

When the Bloodhound
questions you,

it's violent.

So the Bloodhound snatches
Agent Rodado

as a way to get his ex,
but why grab Olivia?

Tan, is she working
on any stories

about the cartel
or coke trade?
I don't know.

She doesn't discuss
active stories at home,

same way I don't tell her
about ongoing cases.

All right, call Olivia's
editor, find out.

Does the DEA have any idea

where the Bloodhound might've
taken Agent Rodado and Olivia?

He's got a list of wealthy
friends with properties in L.A.

We're running them down now.

All right,
SWAT'll take the cartel's

less glamorous connections.

They must have
a local gang

that they use to
distribute their coke.

Los Magnificos.

But they're just boots
on the ground, a tool.

A tool with stash houses
all over the city,

ready-made to hide out.

I think I might have a way in.

Back in Long Beach, a kid I
dealt with in Juvenile Division.

His older brother was Los Mag.
All right.

See if he's willing to talk.

All right.

Exactly.

All right, thanks.

Deputy Chief Bennett.

You picked
a hell of a day to visit.

Yeah, I heard.
Bloodhound's in Los Angeles.

What's being done?

Well, we put out a BOLO
on the car that was used

in the kidnapping,

and we're working
hand-in-hand with the DEA,

looking into
the cartel's L.A. associates.

Good. Well, I can up the urgency
of the BOLO with Patrol,

and we should get GND
looped in, as well.

They're already aware.

Respectfully, SWAT's got this.

Well, you know,
in my experience,

one tiny missed
detail can lead

to deadly consequences.

Look, you can double-check

SWAT all day.

It's not going to change what
I say at your husband's inquiry.

I never asked for that.

My husband made his own cHeyces
in how he ran his prison.

If he made mistakes,
he will answer for them.

If he gets fired,
it could impact your career.

I'm a Black woman, Commander.
I am more than used to

people judging me for things
that are outside my control.

So I will
just continue

to do my job well,

and either
they will see how good I am,

or they're not worth
winning over.

And that's what
you're doing now,

your job?

Yes. LAPD has

the opportunity to not only
rescue two innocents

but capture a cartel leader,

striking a blow
to his entire drug organization.

I'm not trying
to hover,

but I will be sticking around
SWAT HQ today.

All right.

I'll keep you up to speed.

Thanks.

Okay, thanks.
I'll give him a call.
Got it.

What's that about?

Someone might be
messing with

Gamble again.
Her parking spot

was blocked,
so I got the name

of the gate guard
on the early shift.

Gonna ask if
he saw anything.

But that isn't
important right now.

What did Olivia's
editor say?

Does he
know of any

in-process story she was doing

on the Vallarta cartel?
No,

and most of her reporting has
been related to the Middle East.

The only mention
of a Mexican drug cartel

was in her coverage
of a student protest

in Mexico City,
but that was five years ago.

There has to be
something more current,

some reason
she was taken.

We know Agent
Rodado was grabbed

to find the informant.

Could Olivia know something

aboutMaria Lozano?
I doubt it.

The DEA would know

if she'd been around,
asking questions.

It's just
another dead end.

This morning,

I didn't want to make
plans with Olivia.

She was trying to hide it,
but she was upset.

And that was the last
conversation I had with her.

You'll have
the chance to fix it.

I hope so.

So you know this Manuel Flores
from Juvenile Division?

I helped his younger
brother when the kid

had a tough time
in his group home.

Manny had already
moved to Los Angeles

and joined Los Mags.

Wait, this might be him.

Nope, but I got a lead on

a pair of those sneakers

that Matthew
wants.
How?

Annie went to a bunch of stores.

They're all sold out.
Online resale.

Powell and I set up an alert
on a couple web sites.

I appreciate it, but I've
already been scammed once.

I'm not about to go online
and buy it from some random.

Relax,

these sites come with
buyer protection,

and I will help verify
anything you buy.

Look.

$500?

As a starting bid? No, no,
come on, not gonna happen.

I was happy
to wait in line,

but this
sneakerhead stuff

is just way out
of my league.

It's disappointing,

but I'm not gonna
get Matthew the shoes.

Look, I promise you,
we can get it.

Is this the guy?

Yeah, that's him.

Manny, thanks
for coming.

I only came 'cause you once
helped out my baby brother.

So, here I am. What do you want?

We want to know what Los Mags
have been up to today.

All right,
I'll give you a hint.

You and your boys
are involved in the abduction

of two people this morning.

Is that right? Nah.

'Cause if you guys had proof,
you'd have a warrant.

Cut the crap.

We know Los Mags do
the Bloodhound's bidding in L.A.

Like the cartel guy?

You guys do realize
we ain't in Mexico, right?

Yeah, well, neither
is the Bloodhound.

He's here
in the city,

and we think you know
where he's hiding.

All right, I gotta--

What, to go warn
the Bloodhound?

Look, man,

we're not involved
with him, all right?

Maybe we used to be,
but not no more.

We cut ties.

It's not easy
to ditch the cartel.

Which is why I need
to go warn my boys

to lay low until
the Bloodhound leaves town.

He wanted us to abduct some fed.

Los Mags don't need the
type of heat that brings.

We declined.

That's all I know.

All right.

Get gone.

Look, someone helped
the Bloodhound

abduct Agent Rodado,
and Olivia, too.

Yeah, and time is running out
for us to figure out who.

Any progress?

Agent Rodado moved Maria

from her safe house
five days ago.

The Bloodhound
and his number two

only came to town yesterday,

so if it wasn't Los Mags,

someone else
must've been

doing surveillance
on Rodado

and Olivia before
the abductions.

We've been checking
out Olivia's.

So far, nothing
jumps out.

I spoke with Agent
Rodado's neighbor.

He was willing
to give us access

to his cameras.
Link is in your inbox.

Got it. I'll start
going through it.

Tan, let me
talk to you.

How are you
holding up?

I've been reading through
the DEA's files

on the Bloodhound.
Probably a mistake.

Story is, he got his nickname
from putting a guy in a cage

to be ripped apart by dogs.

I...

And the more
time that passes,

the more I think we're gonna
bust through a door,

and I'm gonna
find Olivia's body.

If you want to sit this one out,

I promise you,
it won't change

how hard we look
for her.
No, I feel bad

for Agent
Rodado's family,

having to watch
the phone.

At least I'm
doing something.

Hey, guys,
check this out.

This is Agent
Rodado's street,

just down
from his house.

Car's parked,
driver never gets out.

Sits there for
three hours until...

Another car comes
and takes its place.

Exactly. This driver
never gets out, either.

They're scoping out
Rodado's house.

Hold on. Freeze it, freeze it.

Is that a tat?

Zoom in.

Looks like gang ink.

Running it through GND database.

Doce Asesinos.

12 Assassins.

A-12s for short.

Looks like they haven't
been around for long.

Fresh on the scene means they're
hungry to prove themselves.

Maybe hungry enough
to help a cartel

pull off
two abductions.

LAPD's got record

of two different A-12 hangouts.
Both are downtown.

Looks like one's
a restaurant

and one's an empty
office building.

All right, we'll split up
and check them both. Let's go.

I'd like to ride
along as well.

I've got
knowledge on how

the Vallarta
cartel operates,

and my partner
could be at one of these.

Grab your gear.

No sightline.

Windows on the one side
are all covered.

I've got eyes on the rental van
used in the abduction.

This has to be where
they have Rodado and Olivia.

Fall back.

I'll call the DEA SRT,

get the team out here ASAP.

Agent Bryant, mobilizing a team

and getting them here
to this location would take

30 minutes, at least.
We are right here,

and Hondo's only ten minutes out

at the other
A-12 stronghold.

If the Bloodhound's inside,

his lieutenant Legarra
is there, as well.

Maybe even more Vallarta muscle.

The DEA's got more
experience with them.

SWAT can handle this.

The Bloodhound could be
hurting Olivia right now.

I'm not waiting
half an hour for the feds.

Hey, I got two
A-12s coming out.

Hey, hey,
someone's there.

Go tell the
others. Go.

Get down!

Tan, cover.

Suspect down.
Moving.

Hold up!

Runner!

Second suspect down.

On your stomach!

Give me your hands!

22-David.
Third suspect in custody.

Clear.

I'll sit on him.
You two check the back.

Moving.

Left side clear.

Left side clear.

Right side clear.

Someone's inside.

Olivia.

Victor?

Are you hurt?

What is SWAT
doing here?

I was starting
to think...

But you're alive.
You're okay.

Yeah, I-I'm fine. I-I'm working.

The rest of
the place is clear.

Where's Agent Rodado?

I don't know who that is.

That is
a damn lie.

Hey, whoa, whoa,
whoa, calm down.

Calm down?
Look around. A camera,

two chairs.
She's not a prisoner.

She is a damn guest
of the cartel!

Now, my partner
is out there

somewhere, maybe being
tortured, maybe dead,

and she's just been
sitting here, feet up,

waiting to interview

the Bloodhound!

Damn waste of time!

The Bloodhound is
hunting an informant,

likely torturing
my partner

to find her, and your
officer's girlfriend

is trying to conduct
an interview with the cartel.

Olivia said
she never saw Agent Rodado,

and didn't know
he'd been taken hostage

until SWAT told her.

Are we just going
to take her word for it?

She's a fame-hungry reporter

looking for
a big headline.

Watch it.

She's obviously been in contact

with the
Vallarta cartel.

I want to see
her communications with them.

Maybe we can use that
to locate my partner

and save someone
who actually needs saving.

So far, she's refusing to share

any info on
her cartel contact.

This is
ridiculous.

All right, enough. Enough.

As a journalist,

Ms. Navarro can
legally protect her sources.

Now, Agent Bryant,
you're welcome to try

and get a subpoena,
but in the meantime,

SWAT's gonna pursue
other avenues to find

Agent Rodado.

I understand that he's
upset about his partner,

but he's wasting his time.

No judge is ever
gonna go for that.

I would've said so in
his presence, commander,

but I didn't think
you needed my backup.

Well, maybe next time,
deputy chief.

All right, Hondo
didn't find anything

at the A-12's
restaurant spot?

Well, Patrol's got eyes on
that and the office building

in case the Bloodhound shows.

I doubt it. The A-12s had
plenty of time to warn him off.

Alfaro and I will take a run
at the A-12s we grabbed,

and see if they know where
the cartel is holding him.

Get Hondo,
and find out

what your girlfriend
is willing to tell us.

I'm sorry, okay,
but I can't reveal

any information
about sources.

It would put my contacts
in serious danger.

You have to understand that.

We don't need
to know your sources,

but if you're as stand-up
as Tan says, you can help us

without compromising
yourself.

There is
a DEA agent

still missing. His life
is on the line right now.

Look, I never assumed

the Bloodhound came to the U.S.
just to speak to me,

but I swear,
I never saw Agent Rodado.

I only know where
the cartel took me,

and SWAT already
found that.
Okay, think.

You were in the car
with Pedro Legarra.

He's the cartel's
top lieutenant.

You might've
overheard something.

Wait. There might've
been something.

I don't know if it
means anything,

but their clothes...

The other guy in the car
was whining about the smell.

Said it was from making
a delivery to a fish market.

Well, I'm guessing
Legarra wasn't here

running idle
errands in L.A.

What if that delivery
was Agent Rodado?

Then that fish market's
probably where the Bloodhound

is holding him right now.

We need to find it.

Thank you, for helping.
But Olivia...

w-what were you thinking,

trying to meet with
a sadistic cartel leader

just for a story?

It wasn't about
the story, Victor.

I wanted to get intel.

What do you mean?
Intel about what?

Five years ago,
I covered a protest in Mexico.

Students were outraged
about state officials

taking cartel bribes.

They had public support, until
three of the student leaders

just disappeared.

The bodies were never found
and their families

have no idea what
happened to them.

But the rumor was the Vallarta
cartel was behind the killings.

Okay, and what makes
you think the Bloodhound

would tell you anything
about these murders?

He's obsessed with
his public image.

He's trying to be
the new Pablo Escobar,

he's building schools
and hospitals...

With drug money.
Sure.

So I was going
to play to his vanity,

suggest what a hero
he'd be if he could just

give some closure to the
missing students' families.

I thought maybe that way
I could actually

get some answers for them.

But I've lost that chance now.

He won't agree
to meet with me again.

I'm not going to apologize
for finding you.

I-I saw you being taken
by a violent cartel.

I thought that I was
gonna to lose you.

Or-Or that maybe
I already had.

Look, Victor, you've
been through a lot.

Okay? I really don't think
we should talk about this

right now.
D-Do you not understand

how much I care about you?

I know that you would've done
anything to save me,

I know that, but when
I'm not in danger,

I don't get it.

You're always holding me
at arm's length.

This morning, I-I...

I never meant--

Then what did you mean?

You're keeping this casual.

But I stayed in L.A.
so I could be with you.

So if that's not
something you want,

then you need
to let me go.

None of the A-12s
we scooped up know

where the Bloodhound
is holding Agent Rodado.

Did you and Hondo
talk to the DEA?

They said the Vallarta
cartel has no ties

to any real fish
markets in L.A., so...

we're guessing it's got
to be code for something.

Powell's scouring through the
DEA files on the cartel now,

looking for some
kind of lead.

Oop.

Damn it.

Look, I know
you said you're done

looking for
Matthew's sneakers,

but I got a hookup
at a cool boutique in WeHo,

thought maybe she can help.
That's nice of you,

but the demand
for those shoes is... bonkers.

Yeah. She responded with
the laughing-crying emoji.

Said, I bet the only people
with extras

are Flexxer
and the Ludlow family.

Who's the Ludlow family?

Well, they're big-time
venture capitalists.

No clue what they'd have to do
with a graffiti artist, though.

She said they're Flexxer's
biggest investors.

Guess it's
some industry secret.

Yeah.

Makes the art more valuable

keeping up the street front, huh?

Well, interesting,
but useless.

Where are we on finding
this fish market?

DEA files don't
mention it outright,

but I was looking at transcripts

from Agent Rodado's
meetings with Maria.

He was working hard
to build trust.

Well, I can understand
her reticence.

I'm sure Maria saw firsthand

just how violent
and vindictive the cartel is.

She's putting her life
on the line

just talking to the DEA.

Well, the Bloodhound's
a master of torture,

and he's held Agent Rodado
for too long now.

Maria was really
starting to open up

in the last few interviews.

Yeah, look at this.

She says that
the Vallarta cartel

smuggles cocaine out of Mexico

using seafood crates
with hidden compartments.

The smell could help
move the product

past drug dogs
and into the U.S.

Yeah, but wherever
they remove the coke

must also have a lot
of seafood around.

That's got to be
the fish market

Olivia heard them
mentioning.

But the DEA has no record

of the cartel owning
any property in L.A.

Well, the A-12s
haven't been working

with the Vallarta
cartel for long,

but they are doing
business with them.

Pull up their financials.

Okay, the A-12s received
a hefty cash transfer

from this LLC
right about the same time

they started surveilling
Agent Rodado for the cartel.

Property records show
that same LLC

owns a couple warehouses.

One filed
for construction permits.

Purpose listed was to
install commercial freezers.

What you'd use
to store seafood.

That is the Bloodhound's
fish market.

More than likely where
they're holding Agent Rodado.

Get there.

No security cameras,
hardly anyone around.

If the Bloodhound's in there
interrogating Rodado,

it's not cartel business
as usual today.

He'll have muscle
in there with him.

So keep heads on a swivel.

On my count.

Three, two, one, go.

Got three suspects.
Legarra and two others.

Shots fired on the east side.

24-David.
Got drug-processing equipment.

This is where
the Vallarta cartel

unpacked their smuggled coke.

Hondo, Legarra's
heading upstairs.

Roger that.

Moving!

One suspect down!

Miko, with me.

Drop your weapon!

Drop it!
Drop it!
Going hands-on.

Hands.

Powell...

Freezer clear.

He's headed for
the northwest corner.

Don't even think about it.

20-David.
Legarra's down.

Get him up.

Get up there.

Where's Agent Rodado?

That DEA agent?

He held out a long time.

But everybody has
their breaking point.

He told you where
he hid the DEA informant?

Sure did. Our boss is on the way

to confirm where
his traitor ex-lady is hiding.

And once
they arrive...

it's too late.

Hondo, if the Bloodhound
gets to Maria before we do,

he'll kill her and Agent Rodado
without hesitation.

Then we need to find her first.

We know the Bloodhound

is taking Agent Rodado

to wherever
Maria's been hidden,

but Legarra's clammed up.

He won't give us
an address.

DEA still hasn't found where
your partner might've put her?

Higher-ups questioned
the whole field office,

but Rodado
acted alone.

Only he knows her location.

All right, then we need
to find it on our own, and fast.

From the amount of blood
at the warehouse,

Agent Rodado can't be
in good shape.

He wouldn't have given up
Maria's location easily.

I can't imagine
what they did to him.

This was found
in Legarra's pocket.

L.A. Kings case doesn't exactly
scream cartel hitman to me.

That's Rodado's phone.

Well, Legarra must've taken it
off him when they abducted him.

There might be something
on there that points

to where Rodado hid Maria.

I'll call Cyber, start the
process to crack the passcode.

-Good.
-Wait.

Rodado's
like family to me.

I might be able
to guess my way in.

All right, it's worth a shot.

Watching you dash
around out there

reminds me when somebody
made me run through

a man-made lagoon in
a tech bro's backyard.

If I remember right,
we caught the burglar.

But my boots did smell
kind of funny for about a month.

Hey, just between
you and me,

is Commander Hicks
always this combative?

Excuse me?

Well, I watched him
dress down a DEA agent today.

I mean, I'm just wondering
if that's the norm around here.

From what I heard,
Bryant was in the wrong

and you agreed with that.

Yes, but even when
I first walked in,

Hicks was less than polite.

I mean, he seems
pretty old-school.

It just takes
time to get to know him.

We bashed heads
plenty of times

back when
I was made team leader.

Oh, yeah? Over what?

Well, it's ancient history now.

Well, coming up in the LAPD
when Hicks did,

I can't imagine he was
too happy that a Black officer

became
team leader.
Okay, hold on.

If you think for a second
that I'm about to give you

any kind of dirt
on Commander Hicks,

you got it wrong.

The only thing I'll tell you
is he will be honest

at that inquiry
into your husband's prison.

Yeah, he's gonna
blame my husband,

and I'm the one
who loses standing.

All the good that I could do,

when someone
like Hicks,

who should've retired years ago,

continues on in leadership.

Okay, all due respect,
but it ain't doing good

when you've got to blackmail
someone to achieve it.

I got to go.

Leticia, I'll say this,

the old you would never
compromise the badge like this.

Tell me you got something
off of Rodado's phone.

He and Maria
are running out of time.

Location tracking's a bust.
It's totally shut off.

And if Rodado was messaging
with Maria on this phone,

he's erased
every trace of it.

Call log's pretty basic.

Looks like family, work.

Wait a minute.
What's this outgoing call

to somebody
named Brandi Rice?

Rodado's mentioned her before.
She's an old friend of his.

Okay, but that's the same day

Maria's safe house
was compromised.

That ain't the time
to be calling a pal

just for a simple chat.

Look at this.
Brandi Rice is FBI,

works Assets & Seizures.

Seizures. That'd mean she has
a list of L.A. properties

taken by the Feds
during investigations.

And if they had a house
just sitting there,

maybe Rodado borrowed it,
moved Maria there?

Like an unofficial safe house.

All right, I'll call Rice.
Grab the rest of the team,

I'll meet y'all at Black Betty.
We're rolling out.

Officer Tan.

I owe you an apology.
No.

You care about your partner.

I know how scared
I was for Olivia.

If I thought you were keeping me
from finding her, yeah,

it wouldn't end pretty.
-Hondo
spoke to the FBI.

Rodado didn't tell Rice
he was hiding an informant,

but he did borrow
an empty mansion.
Seized from

a hedge fund manager.
No security cameras,

front gate was tripped
five minutes ago.

The Bloodhound's there.

As soon as he finds Maria,

she and Agent Rodado
are both dead.

Team's rolling out.

You coming?
We got room for one more.

Absolutely.

Bloodhound's here somewhere.

All right, patrol's
setting a perimeter.

If you find
Agent Rodado or Maria,

you get them out ASAP.

Miko and Powell, you got
the main house with Deacon.

Tan, you're with me.

Bryant, you can trail our six,

but you are strictly
second wave.

Let's do it.

30-David.

Front door's
been forced open.

Making entry into
the main house.

Got a vehicle, black SUV.

SUV is clear.

Signs of blood.

Likely Agent Rodado's.

Last man.

Two, two, two.

Clear.

Two, two.

Maria was here.

25-David. One suspect down.

Second suspect down.

24-David. Third suspect down.

We still have to find Maria.

Let's move.

Clear.

Bathroom clear.
But where is she?

She's got to be
here somewhere.

Closet clear.

There's something back there.

Hey. We're LAPD. You're safe.

We've recovered Maria Lozano.

I knew the Bloodhound
would come for me.

But where is Agent Rodado?
-
Right now,

we just need to worry about
getting you someplace safe.

Come on.

Hondo, two o'clock.

LAPD! Hands up right now!

Federal agent!
Stop right there

and let Rodado go!

Back off or he dies.

20-David.
Got eyes on the Bloodhound.

He has Agent Rodado
as a hostage.

Anyone got a shot?

-No.
-Not clean enough.

All right, Tan, circle around.
Get a better angle.

I'll draw his focus.
Roger.

Rodado needs
medical attention, now.

I don't care!
Come on. If
he bleeds out

right here, you're losing
your only bargaining chip.

If I let him go, you shoot me.

Either way, I'm dead.

Shot's not clear.

Just need him
a half step to his right.

You need to make a deal, man.

Ain't nobody coming to save you.

Your boy Legarra's
already in custody.

The Bloodhound's down.

Rodado.

Oh, I got you, buddy.

Come on. Wake up.

He's not conscious.

20-David. I need an R/A
to my location, immediately.

He's got a vest!

It's over!
-
Stop moving.

20-David. Make that
The Bloodhound in custody.

We're Code 4.

Hey.

I heard Agent
Rodado's in the ICU.

He lost a lot of blood,
but Bryant's with his family,

said the doctors are optimistic.

How's Maria Lozano?
The DEA is
putting her

in a new safe house
with beefed-up security.

At least until Legarra
and the Bloodhound go on trial.

Guess Maria's gone

from informant to star witness.

Uh-oh.

You got a scary mom face on.

Yep.

Let's do this.

Hey, Landry. You've been
harassing our teammate.

I don't know what you mean.
-
Hey,

don't give us that crap,
just stop messing

with Gamble, you hear me?
I didn't do anything

to the cop killer's daughter.

We talked to the
parking attendant.

He saw you this morning.

Saw what?

His word against mine.

Well, his word's
good enough for me.

It was a dumb prank.

And plenty of officers here
think that Devin Gamble

shouldn't even be here.

You're benched.

Your team leader is aware.

You know... Don't start with me.

You aren't pulling
practical jokes and you know it.

I gave my warning, now you run
and tell your friends

that I don't do empty threats.

Hey, wait up.

I heard you handed in
your witness statement.

Yeah.

Weirdly felt like journalism,

writing up what happened
with who and when.

Um, I'm really glad
you guys

found the DEA agent in time.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, me, too.

Well, I'm gonna call for a ride.

Uh, I'm all in
on this relationship.

100%.

I've been afraid to think
about how I feel,

and that's because, deep down,

I know that I'm falling for you.

Look, m-my last relationship
messed me up pretty bad.

And the thought of going through
something like that again

is scary.

But the thought of losing you
today was even scarier.

I-I really had a better plan
for this in my head.

That sounded pretty good to me.

But there's gonna be stuff
we can't tell each other.

Are you gonna be okay with that?

I know we're both doing it
to get justice for the innocent.

Yeah, we are.

And speaking of,

the Bloodhound is in
a SWAT holding cell right now.

I assumed he'd be
in DEA custody.

Yeah, he will be tomorrow.

But you got until then
to ask him whatever you want.

Who knows? With
the criminal charges

he racked up today,
he's got nothing to lose.

Maybe he'll open up,

give you some answers about
those students that disappeared.

Thanks, but the U.S. Attorney's
Office won't be happy about it.

And I don't want to invite

any more trouble
for you at SWAT.

Oh, I already talked to Hicks.
He's in.

And as for the others,

when has angering some suits
ever stopped you?

Okay. Lead the way, then.

Deac, we officially struck out.

Every pair of the ForceFlow
sneaker collab

is now over three grand online.

We're sorry for getting

your hopes up
and failing to deliver.

Actually...

What the... What...?

But these are real. How?
-I know.

Well, your friend mentioned
the Ludlow family,

and how they're
Flexxer's backers.
Yeah.

My security company
has worked events

for the Ludlows for years.

I made a call,
and they sent me a pair.

Can't believe
after all my hard work,

you snagged your own W.

More than you know.

I told Matthew about
the shoes, and, uh,

he says he wants to donate them.

And that was after I told him
that Flexxer autographed those.

That doubles the resale value.

Yeah. He said he'd
never wear a signed pair.

And his youth group's
been having trouble

with this fundraiser,

so he'd rather put
the money towards that

than to have them sit
on a shelf collecting dust.

Someone raised
their kid right.

Oh, but they're so cool.

Yeah, I'm gonna take
those back now.

Hey. Thank you.

Thank you both.
Thanks for everything.

Anytime.

Dad of the Year.

Deputy Chief.

I trust you had
a productive day observing SWAT.

Please. I assume
you know by now my visit

had another purpose.
Yeah, I told him.

But I was still hoping you would
rethink all that nonsense.

You know,
I thought about it.

And then I thought
about Devin Gamble.

What about her?

Don't play dumb.

Her father killed
a sheriff's deputy.

I heard all the uproar
when she arrived.

Yet she's been proving herself
to be a capable, solid officer.

Well, from what
I witnessed tonight,

not everyone feels that way.

She is not accepted,

nor is she trusted.

Gamble is a
PR disaster

waiting to happen,
and it would be a shame

if it blew back on you.
Okay, hold on now.

I brought her in.
Gamble was my pick.

Never in my career
have I bowed to a threat,

and I don't intend to start now.

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.

Then I wish you both luck.

Thank you, sir,
for standing by Gamble.

I know you had some doubts.

I still do. She's causing
tension, just as I feared.

And now, we need to tread
even more carefully.

One wrong move
from anyone in this building,

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

for all of SWAT.
