Previously on S.W.A.T...

We can still find someone else for 20-Squad.

Someone whose father didn't kill a cop.

I never wanted anything to do with my father's life.

I get hiding what your dad did.

But if you're still associating with criminals...

- He's your brother? - Twin, actually.

- TAN: Alfaro! - You son of a bitch!

Sometimes you have to put in extra work

to keep yourself balanced.

Wind sprints and pullups just aren't cutting it lately.

You got to find an outlet that works.

Otherwise the stress of this job will consume you.

[EXHALES]

Damn, Miko.

That was poetry.

[CHUCKLES] Don't know about that, but thanks.

Are you fighting in the smoker with LAFD this weekend?

Nah, I'm not the one.

Of course, he ain't.

People punch back, bags don't.

Ain't that right, Alfaro?

AUTOMATED VOICE: Hello. This is a prepaid call from an inmate

at Lancaster Correctional Facility.

All calls are subject to monitoring.

To accept the call, please press...

TAN: That your old man?

Uh, third call in the last two days.

Huh. Must be serious.

Don't your brothers visit him?

Probably. I don't ask.

Well, maybe since you're back

in L.A., he just wants to see how you're doing.

Doesn't matter what he wants.

[SIREN WAILING]

All right, 15 minutes ago, Caltrans monitoring sensors

alerted to radioactive cargo headed south along the 210.

Those sensors are ultra-sensitive.

The potassium in a truckload

full of bananas triggered one of 'em

up in Bakersfield six weeks ago.

HONDO: Yeah, well, no bananas this time.

The cargo's radioactive signature matches

nuclear material stolen from a Livermore lab three days ago.

Two guards were killed in the process.

I don't remember hearing anything about a heist.

Probably because it's classified.

Going public could draw more bad actors looking for it.

Like a scene out of Mad Max.

CHP's initiated a roadblock.

The suspect truck is blocked in

with more than 100 vehicles. Now listen.

We don't have Deacon on this run.

So we got to keep it tight,

watch each other's six.

We got our work cut out for us.

Deal with whoever's in the truck.

Without any harm to civilians.

All right, the stolen material is perfectly safe in the container,

but we're gonna be wearing these monitors

just in case.

Doesn't the Department of Energy have response teams

for hazardous recoveries?

They do, but they're hours out. We're up.

And we're going in hot.

[HORNS HONKING]

[TIRES SCREECH]

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

How we looking?

No luck making contact.

We don't know who or how many are inside.

FBI said to wait for SWAT.

All right, continue having your guys clear civilians.

We'll take it from here.

Not everyone's leaving their cars.

You clear the ones you can.

The rest are just gonna have to shelter in place.

You got it.

All right, listen up.

There's no telling what we're up against.

If this is the same crew that hit the Livermore lab,

we know they're willing to kill for whatever it is they want.

Let's make sure that doesn't happen.

HONDO: All right, Powell, find a vantage point.

- You have the overwatch. - On it.

All right, Tan, you're with Gamble. Miko, with me.

We'll split the approach.

Still a lot of civilians in cars.

Well, we better get it right.

Let's go.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

[HELICOPTER WHIRRING OVERHEAD]

What do we got, Miko?

Radiation signature matches.

Non-threatening, but it's our target.

Powell, you set?

24-David. In position.

I have a visual. But the windows are heavily tinted.

Officer, give me that bullhorn!

This is LAPD! You in the box truck!

Turn off the vehicle, and step out slowly.

[GUNS COCKING]

I repeat: turn off the engine, get out of the vehicle.

Miko, prepare to dust 'em.

Pepper balls it is.

Gamble, how's our backstop?

I need all civilians off the X.

26-David. Downrange looks clear.

HONDO: Pepper balls in five,

four, three,

two... Send 'em, Miko.

Passenger!

Slowly exit the vehicle!

[COUGHING]

Show me your hands!

Got a runner.

OFFICER: Watch out, we got a runner!

- Move! - FEMALE OFFICER: Watch out!

Still movement in the cab!

Second passenger getting out.

[GUNSHOTS]

- 26-David. One suspect down. - Powell, stay on that truck!

- Watch out for civilians. - Roger that.

Get out!

Still someone inside the cab.

[ENGINE REVVING]

I got you, Hondo.

[ENGINE CLUNKING, HISSING]

HONDO: Driver, out of the truck, now!

[COUGHING]: Okay, okay, I'm coming out.

[COUGHS] Don't shoot!

On your knees! Down on your knees!

DRIVER: I'm not one of them.

- Don't shoot! - ALFARO: Going hands-on!

20-David.

Last suspect in custody.

Moving in on the cargo now.

What the hell? It's empty.

[DETECTOR CLICKING]

I'm still getting a reading, Hondo.

It had to have been here.

Powell, did you see anything?

No one's approached since we got here.

The radioactive material, where is it?

What'd you do with it?

Soon. [EXHALES]

You find out

soon enough.

HICKS: Jeremiah Jacobs.

Well, according to your background,

you're just an average Joe.

Married, pay your taxes, no criminal record.

So how does a guy like you get involved

with stolen radioactive material?

What?

Stolen what?

Don't act like you don't know.

I-I don't.

I got this job off a website.

BookHelpToday.com.

It was a thousand bucks to drive a truck from Bakersfield to L.A.

If you're as innocent as you claim,

then why'd you try and flee the scene?

I just panicked! Everybody was firing guns.

I thought I was gonna die.

What about the cargo?

The cargo? Look, that kind of cash,

you don't ask questions, you just drive.

Someone must've given you an address to deliver it to.

They gave me a phone.

They told me to head for L.A.

and that they would call me with further instructions.

Jeremiah, eight miles before you got stopped,

your truck passed road sensors that determined

that you were carrying radioactive material.

So how did the truck end up empty?

I don't know.

Right before the roadblock, I got a call.

Um, they told me to pull over at an underpass.

And then, seconds later, these armed guys jumped in the back.

And they just ordered me to keep my eyes straight.

HICKS: And that's when they took

whatever it is you don't know about?

- I guess. - Mm.

Um, then the guys with guns, um,

the ones that y'all shot,

they got in the cab, and they told me to drive.

HONDO: So there must've been a second vehicle that made off

with the cargo.

Did you see it?

Look, I had a gun in my face.

All I could think about was my wife.

[SMACKS LIPS]

Sir, whoever's behind this knew about the highway sensors

and knew we'd be alerted.

Well, they also knew all our attention

would be focused on that roadblock.

Never thinking for a minute that it might be a decoy.

They played us, and we fell right into it.

By the time we opened up that truck,

the nuclear material was long gone.

Now it's somewhere in our city.

And we have to assume whoever has it

has the worst of intentions.

GAMBLE: Coming up empty on our shooters from this morning.

Their prints aren't in our system.

Customs has no records. The guys are ghosts.

Means they probably crossed the border illegally.

Yeah, so who knows how long they've been here?

Or how many more there might be.

HICKS: Just heard back from the DOE.

The material stolen from the Livermore lab

is 12 and a half kilograms of refined Neutronium-613,

It's a radioisotope designed

to power the Mars rover.

Now it's not weapons-grade,

but in the wrong hands, it could be incorporated into a WMD.

I bet a number of terror states

would love to get their hands on that.

That's exactly DOE's theory.

The perps are likely trafficking it out of the U.S.

So, as you can imagine,

we've got a fixed amount of time to recover it

before it leaves SoCal.

Commander, I finally got some more info.

I've been combing through cell phone footage uploaded

to social media from the takedown this morning.

Never underestimate the need for clicks and likes.

I cleaned up the image, ran it through facial rec.

- HICKS: We get an ID? - TAN: Not yet.

But turns out we're not the only ones trying to tag him.

Fresno PD ran the same guy.

Looks like he's tied to the theft

of fertilizer-grade ammonium nitrate.

Someone's planning to make a bomb. A big one.

And if combined with the stolen neutronium...

DOE's got it all wrong.

They're not trafficking the neutronium out the country.

They're building a dirty bomb.

GAMBLE: A dirty bomb with that much explosives,

it'll throw a radioactive cloud over ten city blocks.

Yeah, I need to call the mayor, tell him the city's under threat.

Show this guy's face to Interpol.

This crew must have terror experience.

Somebody's gonna know who they are.

[DOOR OPENS]

Hey. How's it coming?

Scanning Caltrans images,

trying to pinpoint what vehicle the suspects

might've transferred the nuclear material into

before the roadblock.

Need any help?

Not gonna say no.

It's a busy stretch of road.

So how long you been boxing for?

You know, the speed bag earlier.

Oh.

That was really just something I did as a kid.

Looked more serious than that.

Were you in the Golden Gloves, AAU?

Nope. Didn't compete.

Never really trained for the sport.

What'd you train for, then?

Just survival.

Survival?

Were you that bullied as a kid?

I mean, it-it's okay if you were.

There were these girls who hated me in eighth grade...

Just drop it, Zoe. Cool?

Tell me someone's got something actionable.

Powell?

POWELL: Struck out on the job website that hired the driver.

Whoever paid him used a fake email and a VPN

to hide the IP address.

HICKS: Covering their tracks. Great.

Commander, you were right about Interpol.

I uploaded photos of our shooters from the roadblock

and immediately got a hit.

Oraz Mustafin, an Uzbekistan national.

He's part of an extremist offshoot called JAMAAL al HAQ.

JAMAAL al HAQ, Group of Truth.

FBI recently put out a BOLO for the group's

number two in command, a guy named Khalid Torani.

That means the FBI has reason to believe he's in the U.S.

Torani was ISIS-K before this,

linked to attacks throughout Europe.

If he's tied to our dirty bomb,

- we're gonna need a bigger boat. - ALFARO: Hey.

I might have a thing here.

So, I've been sifting through photos

looking for the transfer vehicle...

This Range Rover shadows the box truck

after passing the radiation sensors,

in tandem the whole time.

Nice, Alfaro. Did you run the plates?

That's what first flagged it for me.

Plates come back to a Mazda Miata out in Bakersfield.

Stolen plates. That's got to be our guys.

- I'll put out a BOLO. - Somebody already has.

Devonshire Traffic Division. Same Range Rover and plates

are connected to a hit-and-run last night

outside of a Valley strip club.

All right. We're up against the clock. Powell, Alfaro, get over

to that club and see what you can find out.

We might've caught a break in the case.

- Actually, a couple of them. - We need it.

The last thing this city needs

- is a terror attack. - [PHONE BUZZING]

Your brother, Leon. What's up with that troublemaker?

Yo, twin. You get over to Mom's to fix the shower yet?

I take it that wasn't Leon?

No. My father.

Damn him. He is such a manipulator.

He actually used your brother to connect the call?

Not cool, of him or Leon.

Leon just does as told wherever my dad's concerned.

You haven't talked to your dad in years, right?

Ten. Visited him once in prison after the sentencing.

I wonder why he's so desperate, reaching out like that.

Whatever.

Come on, Gamble. You got to be a little curious.

Whatever it is, I don't care.

He's shown no remorse.

Do you know what it's like to go through

hazing and suspicion because of him?

Getting hazed is part of our job.

[SCOFFS] You ever had a bullet

planted in your locker at eye level?

Right after his conviction.

I don't give a rat's ass what he has to say.

I don't care.

♪

Vadim?

I'm Officer Alfaro. This is Officer Powell.

We're following up on a hit-and-run

that happened outside your club a few nights ago.

Involving the Range Rover. What can you tell us about that?

Yeah, this was a crazy night.

I'm surprised it not get posted anywhere.

No such thing as bad press, right?

Free publicity.

Well, what was so crazy about that night?

I was at DJ booth, and these guys,

they start, uh, acting up. You know, like foreign type.

Oh, and you're an L.A. native, right, Vadim?

You know what I mean.

Anyway, I don't say anything 'cause they are big tipper,

but then they start getting handsy with merchandise.

With the girls.

Dancers, whatever.

I'm sure some of them are mothers.

No. Not mine.

So, the bouncers intervened.

They had to, uh, escort the gentlemen outside.

What about the hit-and-run complaint that you filed?

Well, that's when things get crazy.

They pile into SUV, and they back right into Lambo

of one of my VIP regular.

This guy's been known to carry, so...

Those jackasses are lucky to get out of here alive.

ALFARO: All right, we're gonna need

the security cam footage from that night.

Yeah, probably not without warrant.

- Mm. - Why, is there other things

going on here aside from dancing?

Ha, ha. Nice try.

I wonder how many of his girls are legal to work in the U.S.?

Ooh. Or adults.

POWELL: There's the bouncers pushing them out.

Stop there.

ALFARO: That's Oraz Mustafin,

one of the gunmen we took down this morning.

And that's Khalid Torani.

The leader of their little group.

Advance the shot a few more frames.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

That's the box truck driver, Jeremiah Jacobs.

Bastard lied to us.

That son of a bitch played us.

He did, and you'll get another shot at him,

but let's not go in unarmed this time.

Tan, tell Hondo what you found.

I was able to track down Jeremiah's wife, Allison.

They were married for six years. Separated seven months ago.

She said that, after he lost his job, he spiraled into drinking,

drugs, self-loathing.

Well, that's hardly a unique story.

Well, he began spending hours online,

going down one rabbit hole after another.

That's when he found JAMAAL al HAQ,

or they found him.

So, he's a recent convert.

Exactly. On the dark web,

Jeremiah found al HAQ's postings of anti-American videos;

villagers being displaced, collateral damage,

and even our troops getting ambushed.

This guy was watching snuff films of our kids overseas.

Allison stood by her man as long as she could.

Finally filed for divorce when he started insisting

she call him Al-Jamili.

So now she's his ex-wife?

Well, you'd think,

but Allison just found out she's pregnant, so she's thinking

of staying with him, you know, for the "sake of the kid."

Jeremiah played us, but he sounds like a peon.

He's just a pawn for Khalid Torani.

- Maybe, or maybe not. - HICKS: What do you got, Gamble?

A recent photo of Torani. It matched

to an extremist chat site. It was taken

at a training camp in northern Africa.

The madman with his inner circle.

Yup, including a friend of ours.

HICKS: That's our truck driver, Jeremiah.

- So, he's not just a pawn. - Nah.

He's in this up to his neck.

So when'd you shave, Jeremiah?

HICKS: Or is it Al-Jamili now?

Had my guys check the check on you.

- And you got a fake name. - HICKS: Mm-hmm.

Wow.

Well, we got a little more than that, sunshine.

Right now, we got you for aiding and abetting,

but if there's an attack, you will never see the sun again.

Save your threat.

The entire West is due for an awakening.

Same old, same old.

You sound like every wannabe terrorist

with an internet connection.

You can insult me all you want,

but chaos is coming,

and we deserve it.

This country might not always get things right,

but the failures of the world have many fathers.

Yet we're the world's cop

who somehow always manages to shoot the hostage.

Until my people are safe, no one is.

HICKS: Your people?

From Pacoima, you mean?

[LAUGHS]

- I have a new home. - HICKS: Oh.

Which is good,

because soon, yours will be erased.

Hey, Zoe. Wait.

W-Wait up. Look,

- I didn't mean to snap at you earlier. - It's no worries.

- I pressed you. - True, but when you asked me

about boxing, look, I could've just said

it was something I did as a kid, left it at that.

Then why didn't you, hmm?

I don't know.

Boxing for me is...

kind of a dark place.

Look, I didn't train for the sport.

I learned how to fight 'cause I had to.

This doesn't sound like a

- happy childhood story. - [SNORTS]

It's not.

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

There was this one guy, Collins,

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

He'd get physical, push her around

when he was high or whatever.

I'm sorry.

If I ever tried to stand up for my mom,

he knew I wasn't much of a threat.

[CHUCKLES]

So I learned how to throw down,

and with Collins as my north star,

I got good at it.

Still, the harder I trained,

the better I got, the angrier I got.

I bet you messed him up pretty bad.

[SCOFFS]

Never had the chance.

Before anything went down, his broke ass got arrested.

That was the last time I saw the dude.

But I kept at it,

kept hitting the gym, promising myself

that if I ever saw him again...

That's why you don't compete.

Stepping inside that ring is...

takes me back to my dark side.

My rage was for Collins,

not for someone who didn't deserve it.

Apology accepted.

[CHUCKLES] Come on.

Gamble.

- Got a second? - Sure. What's up?

Heard about your father reaching out.

- I can only guess who snitched. - Hey.

That's just the team having your back.

Tell them they don't have to worry.

I've shut my dad out for ten years.

I can shut him out for ten more.

What's that gotten you, shutting him out?

[SIGHS]

Look, I know the cost.

I was estranged from my father for years.

- Except your father didn't kill... - No, no, no, he didn't.

But holding on for years to all his shortcomings...

it affected me more than him.

So, you just let it go?

I released him of my choice to carry his baggage, yeah.

And it made me a better man.

Probably a better cop.

You know what would happen if folks around here

learned I reconciled with a cop killer?

I ain't saying become his pal.

I'm saying maybe face the demon,

and find a way to let it go.

It's your life, your call.

But I promise you, that heaviness

ain't gonna get no lighter until you deal with it.

- [PHONE BEEPING] - [PHONE BUZZING]

We got a bomb threat to the Sanford Financial Building.

- Could be our dirty bomb. - We'll act as if.

That'd be a lot of fallout.

FBI and NEST are a ways out.

Hazmat's on their way, too.

[SCOFFS]

Crazy-ass thing? This day... it'll never make the papers.

Hey. Where have you been?

What did you do?

Kind of ran his name.

Collins, my mom's ex?

Went ahead and looked him up.

And?

He's been out of prison for almost two years.

Well, that's good then, yeah?

I mean, he hasn't contacted you or your mom,

so, he's gone from your life.

Are you gonna be good?

I'm always good.

Well, how about I beat your ass

in some pool, then?

It'll make me feel better.

- [BOXING BLOWS LANDING ON BAG] - TOWNSEND: One, two.

For sure. I mean...

Ah, there's bag boy.

Boogedy, boogedy, boogedy,

- boogedy, boogedy, boogedy. - Townsend, let it go, man.

Miko, d...

TOWNSEND: All right, here we go. Here we go.

Bag boy's finally getting into the ring.

- [CHUCKLES] - My man.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

- You might want to strap those up. - Nah, I'm good.

It's your party.

[GRUNTING]

[OFFICERS EXCLAIMING]

OFFICER: That was quick.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Way to go, Miko. You knocked out our fighter for the LAFD smoker.

You're welcome.

[INDISTINCT P.A. ANNOUNCEMENT]

Hey, kid.

Ernie.

Oh, I'm "Ernie" now.

Good to see you.

It's been a minute, no?

Come on. How long?

Couldn't tell you.

Not something I keep track of.

Is that so?

Gam-ble.

Took your mom's maiden name.

I get it.

I'm good.

What do you want

that you couldn't tell my brothers over the phone?

What's the rush, kid?

I don't like prisons.

[CHUCKLES] Me, neither.

What if I told you

this was the safest place for you?

Ah.

Got your attention.

You're still playing games.

Wait. Devi.

I know you're LAPD SWAT.

You think I don't keep tabs?

You may not talk to me, but your brothers do.

Okay.

I'm SWAT.

- So...? - So,

I heard something on the yard.

What'd you hear?

- Come on, sit down. - No, no, no, no. I said, what?

Okay, okay.

There's a bounty...

...on the head of someone on 20-Squad.

I'm talking real money, Dev.

And trust, I got nothing to do with nothing.

But the word is out there.

[BEEPS]

And it's going down...

...today.
