Previously on SWAT...

HONDO: Let’s have a kid together.
I want to have a family with you.

[gasps] We're.. we're...
we're having a girl.

Mmm.
Mmm.

STREET: Powell, with me!

POWELL: I got a shortcut.
Powell!

Suspect's down.

STREET: You can’t just take off
like that.

Relax. We got the guy,
didn't we?

HONDO: You get Powell squared
away. She's your responsibility now.

Hank St. John. I go by Saint.

Daniel Jr. They call me...
SAINT: I know who you are, Hondo.

HONDO: You may have them
fooled, but not me.

It's only gonna take one mistake
for the LAPD

to come knocking on your door.

SAINT: I'll have to be very
careful then.

DEACON: This is Detective Rios
with Gangs and Narcotics.

RIOS: If you're right about this
Saint guy being behind all this...

HONDO: I am..
we haven't found any evidence

to confirm it.

HONDO: I just wanted to ask you

about your new business venture
with Hank St. John.

HARRIS: Starting my first business.

I'm calling it Freshness on
Wheels.

HONDO: Consider it a fair
warning.

Clean up your act, or you're
gonna see me

in ways that you don't want to.

[door opens, closes]
NICHELLE: Oh, Hondo, look how cute.

HONDO: Oh, no.

Get out of town. Our baby girl
ain't even born yet,

and she's already swagging it out.

[laughs]
This stuff looks practically new.

Has it ever even been worn?
DEACON: Uh, most of it, probably not.

Yeah, Annie went a little
overboard dressing the girls.

How could she not?
It's all so precious.

Yeah. I'm actually surprised
she let this go.

But when she heard

that the two of you were
having a baby, and a girl,

here it is.

HONDO: Deacon, thank you.
It means a lot.

Now you tell Annie that
we promise

to give everything here
a good home.

DEACON: You're doing us a favor.

Victoria's almost four.

You know, it's about time we
move on to the next phase.

HONDO: What do you mean?
Well, we have this joke

that we have lived through

different phases over the years.

First, it was the "Just the two
of us" phase.

Then it was, “We’ve got one kid.

I think that's all we can handle"
phase.

NICHELLE: Our "Just the two
of us" phase was pretty great.

You ready to shake that up?

HONDO: I am more than ready.

DEACON: Oh, you better be,
because pretty soon,

it turns into the "Now, we have
four kids

"and we couldn't believe that
we thought

one was too much to handle" phase.
Yeah.

HONDO: You know what? I think
we'll leave that phase

to you and Annie ‘cos I really
don't see

four little rug rats running around here.
Uh.. uh.

[both laughing]

DEACON: Victoria used to
love stuffies,

but by the time this one came
home, she was onto dolls.

Next, it'll be boys.

Ooh.
NICHELLE: Which phase is that?

That is the "Lord, help me" phase.

[phone buzzing]
[laughing]

HONDO: Oh, sorry, guys.
Excuse me for a second.

Yo, Rios. What's up?

RIOS: Yo, Hondo.

RIOS: Yeah, I couldn't help it.
Had to call right away.

I think we got him.
We may have found

what we need to put Saint
away for good.

HONDO: What? You serious?
What'd you find?

Picked up a laptop on a raid
of one of Saint's pill mills

last night.
Guys at Cyber Division

say it's encrypted like nothing
they've ever seen.

And if that thing has that
much security...

Got to be a gold mine, yeah.
Problem is,

we're locked out of it until this raid.

HONDO: You found the key?
RIOS: Don't get your hopes up.

Still got to see what's on
the laptop first,

but my gut is telling me it's
what we've been searching for.

I'll keep you posted.

Hey, Rios, thanks, man.

You stepped up and walked this
path because I asked you to.

I owe you.
Yeah, let's save the mushy stuff

for when we have Saint
in cuffs, okay?

I'm so looking forward to that.

Thanks, brother.

All right, peace.

DEACON: Good news?

HONDO: Rios just hit up another
one of Saint's stash houses, and

he thinks that he finally has
enough evidence to put him away.

Well, that's huge.
We're not there yet.

We got to confirm it, but, yeah,
this feels really good.

Well, we should go.

NICHELLE: Then I'll save my
congratulations for later.

Can't wait. Mmm.
See you tonight.

Okay.
Bye.

NICHELLE: Deacon, please
thank Annie for all this.

I will.

Bye.

[indistinct chattering]
[helicopter blades whirring]

RIOS: Hey.

CHARLIE: Here you go.

Thank you.
No problem.

[coughs]

Charlie, what the hell is this?

Celery, kale, spinach and apple.

CHARLIE: Mom told you to watch
your caffeine intake,

so I got you a healthy juice.

RIOS: You're killing me,
mijo, okay?

Back to your post, ok?
[mutters] Kale.

STREET: How you doing?
POWELL: Fine.

You know, I spent a lot of
time in this room

when I first got to SWAT.

It's almost a rite of passage.

POWELL: Is that why you suggested
to Hondo I get armory duty?

Nostalgia?

STREET: You got armory duty
‘cos you were reckless in the field.

Now, I know you trust your gut,

but you can't keep going off
on your own.

There's a reason we move in twos.

Your partner's not just watching
your back.

You're watching theirs.

POWELL: I get it. You could've
just said that.

You didn't have to get Hondo
to sideline me.

STREET: You want me to lay off?

Stop reverting back to

These HKs aren't gonna

This is Detective Alex Rios.

I'm at the corner
of West 60th and South Hoover.

Code 30. Officer
in need of assistance!

[door opens]

LUCA: Hey, you notice anything funny
about the commander today?

TAN: Funny? Hicks is a lot of things,
I don't know about funny.

No, I mean, like, weird.

He was on the bike in the gym
this morning.

And?
Hicks hates the stationary bike.

He says it's the perfect
metaphor

for going nowhere in life.

I'm telling you, man,
something's off.

TAN: Hey. Morning, Commander.

HICKS: Tan. Luca.

LUCA: Hey, sir.

At ease, boys.

TAN: Was that a kombucha?
LUCA: I told you. Weird.

TAN: Kale salad?

I don't think I've ever seen
Hicks eat a vegetable.

Not unless it was surrounded

by meat and smashed on
a hoagie roll.

He's on some sort of health kick.

That's a good thing, right?
LUCA: I don't know.

My dad went on a health kick
when he was Hicks's age

on the doctor's orders after he
had a mild heart attack.

STREET: Hey.

Hondo called. Detective Rios
radioed a Code 30.

He was attacked in his car.
Now he's gone.

Hondo and Deacon are on
their way there.

Said we should do
what we can from here.

LUCA: Okay, let's get some leads
for them for when they get back.

[helicopter blades whirring]

DEACON: All right. Thank you.

Detectives canvassed the block.

These guys weren't discrete.

Witnesses saw two masked men
armed with assault rifles

yank Rios from his car,
threw him in the back of a Jeep.

HONDO: He was blindsided.
Rios didn't stand a chance.

He was targeted.
Yeah, looks like it.

I sent him down this road, Deacon.

Hey, Hondo, this isn't on you.

I talked Rios into going after Saint.

It's no coincidence that
Rios was real close

to putting Saint away.

HONDO: Now he gets ambushed?
DEACON: All right, let's...

let's not jump to conclusions.

HONDO: There's only one
possible conclusion.

Saint kidnapped Rios.

And you best believe I'm gonna
get him back.

♪ start theme song ♪

This mean I'm out of
the doghouse?

For now. This is an
all-hands situation.

One of our own is abducted
in broad daylight.

Somebody must have seen
something.

STREET: Well, the traffic cam
gave us plates from the Jeep

that sideswiped Rios, but it was
a dead end.

It was reported stolen from
a parking lot this morning.

No cameras at the lots,
so no help there.

Any progress on our perps?
POWELL: No, sir.

They were masked and moved too fast
to get a good description.

Average height, average build,
nothing concrete.

HICKS: Why take Rios now?

Well, Rios has been hitting
Saint's pill mills

and stash houses pretty hard
recently.

STREET: One last night and
one this morning.

HICKS: Unlikely it's just revenge,
or we would have found a body

instead of just a banged-up car.

Well, the big get from
last night's raid was a laptop.

Rios seems to think
that this is the holy grail,

some kind of digital locker

where Saint keeps all his
dirty laundry.

I tracked the laptop to
Cyber Division.

Anything in it
we can use?

STREET: Cyber's been trying
to crack it all night.

It's highly encrypted.

POWELL: Sounds like maybe
Rios is right about what's on it.

HICKS: All right, both of you head
down to Cyber

and see what you can glean
from the techs.

LUCA: Hey, Commander, the
R-100 detail is bringing

Rios' wife, Maria, into HQ
for protection.

Their son, Charlie, is on patrol.

We radioed him and he should
be back soon. [phone buzzing]

HICKS: My God, the wife must
be a wreck.

Yeah.
Oh, I.. I got to take this.

HICKS: Hey, Doc.

Yeah?

Oh, wow. I didn't expect it

to get scheduled that soon.

All right, I guess it gives me
less time to get nervous.

Okay. Well, all right.

Thank you.
TAN: You hear that?

Hicks has something scheduled
with a doctor.

LUCA: Should we say something
to him, let him know we're here for him?

TAN: I don't know. Hicks is a
pretty private guy.

If he wanted us to know,
he would have told us.

LUCA: Yeah, but whatever it is,
there's no reason

for him to be going
through it alone

when so many people care.

If the commander needs us,
he'll let us know.

I say we give him his space
for now.

I hope you're right.

SAINT: You see, Ellis, the
trick is play the opening like a book

the middle game like a magician,
and the end game like a machine.
Check!

WRIGHT: You think very highly
of yourself, don't you, Hank?

But I...

SAINT: Mate.

Sergeant Harrelson.
Here for a game?

HONDO: You know exactly
why I'm here.

That's probably why you
stepped up your security.

SAINT: This is my
executive assistant,

Lucius.

I'm surprised you two haven't
met yet.

DEACON: A police officer was
abducted this morning.

SAINT: I'm truly sorry to
hear that.

What can I do to help?

If you give me a name, I...
HONDO: You know his name,

and that he was real close to
shutting down your operation.

My operation?
I run a successful business

that gives back

to the community at every turn.

Who would want to shut that down?
That's just a cover.

Rios found proof, so you
kidnapped him.

Now, where is he?!

I've been here

with Councilman Wright
playing chess all morning.

I appreciate that
you have a job to do,

but you're barking up
the wrong tree.

Cut the act, Saint!

Where is Detective Rios?

[overlapping crowd chatter]

DEACON: Hondo, let's go.

Come on. This isn't
accomplishing anything.

HICKS: Anything useful?
Maybe.

I've been going through the
evidence logs from last night

and this morning's raids,
and I just found this.

This thumb drive was photographed

and logged in at the
stash house this morning,

but it never made it
to the evidence locker.

Okay, Forensics didn't find it
in the debris at the crash site

or in Rios' car.

I don't know how it fits,

but it could be another
piece of the puzzle.

All right, I'll send a team
to double check the car.

Street and Powell are
headed over to Cyber now.

Give them the heads up
to ask about this drive.

Yes, sir. Uh, Commander, wait.

If there's ever anything
that you need to talk about,

I just want you to know I'm here.

All right, well,
that's good to know, Luca.

I'll.. I'll keep that in mind.
I mean it, sir.

Anything.

I.. I'm sorry, Luca. Excuse me.

Hey, Hondo, hold up.

HICKS: I just got a call from
the deputy mayor's office.

Did you threaten
Hank St. John in the park?

HONDO: No, sir. I was
chasing a lead.

Well, it didn't look that way
to City Councilman Ellis Wright,

and he's got strong ties both

with the deputy mayor and the I.G.

Sir, you're gonna slap my wrist?

Now? With Rios out there?

I'm on your side here.
We all want Rios

to be brought home
safely, all right?

I'm just reminding you
to be smart about this.

You keep going after Saint
without any proof, then...

Then what?
He'll kill Rios?

Sir, he's gonna do that anyway

as soon as he gets what he wants.
Uh...

HICKS: Mrs. Rios.

MARIA: What?

I'm Commander Hicks.

I'm so sorry.

If you come with me, I'll...

I'll explain to you what's going on.

Okay? Come on. Come with me.

[keyboard keys clicking]

[door opens]

POWELL: We called earlier.
GND brought in a laptop last night.

It was seized in a drug raid.
ANALYST: Yeah.

You must be from 20-Squad.

I was the one who processed it
when it came in.

Pretty heavy security mods.

Air-gapped.

No wireless connection.

Could only see metadata,
but it's huge.

14 terabytes, all highly encrypted.

STREET: You still haven't been
able to figure out what's on it?

ANALYST: If coffee and
willpower were enough,

I would have cracked it hours ago.

But we could throw every

decryption algorithm the LAPD
has at it,

and still probably not get in.

It requires a specific key.

Probably stored on a flash drive.

STREET: Something... like this?

ANALYST: Exactly.
Wish I'd known you had it.

Might've actually gotten
some sleep last night.

POWELL: Must be what Rios called
Hondo about this morning.

ANALYST: Wait. Detective Rios?

He called a couple hours ago,

said he was on his way over.
Never showed.

STREET: Rios must have
been bringing

the flash drive here himself,

only he got ambushed on the way.

Oh, my God.

POWELL: That flash drive is
only half the equation.

The laptop is here.

We need to move the laptop to
SWAT HQ for safekeeping now.

ANALYST: As long as you sign it
out to maintain chain of custody.

Just let me...

Wait. This can't be right.

It was checked out a minute ago.

STREET: Which way?

Evidence room is down there.

Hey, someone just checked out
a laptop?

OFFICER: Uh, yeah.

He's right there.
POWELL: Hey!

STREET: Stop right there!

Do not move!

Hands where we can see them!
POWELL: Hands up!

CHARLIE: You don't understand.
STREET: Right now!
POWELL: I'll cover.

CHARLIE: I got to get this laptop
out of here.

STREET: Hands behind your back.
Up against the vehicle.

Now!
They're gonna kill him.

There's no time.
They're going to kill my dad

if you don't let me go!

Charlie Rios?

STREET: What the hell's going on?

MAN (in video): Your pig father
took a computer

that doesn't belong to him.

You're going to get it back.

Your daddy's life depends on it.

[groaning]

POWELL: We found this
on Charlie's phone.

HONDO: They sent that
to Rios' son, Charlie?

Poor kid was just trying
to save his dad.

STREET: A laptop for
his father's life.

Charlie could barely hold it
together. I feel for him.

HICKS: Oh, geez.

Tell me we got something
to go on.

POWELL: We tried to track the
phone used to contact Charlie Rios,

but it's a burner. Signal's gone dead.

STREET: Charlie had no idea
where the flash drive might be.

Last time he saw it was at
the raid this morning.

So we're back to square one?
HONDO: Maybe not.

Play it again just from the end.

Freeze. Zoom in on that box.

Now sharpen it.

HICKS: So what am I looking at?

HONDO: I know that logo.

That's Raymont Harris' company.

POWELL: Does this mean
I'm officially

out of the armory now?

STREET: Sorry. You got to do the full assignment.
Come on.

Rios and the laptop would be
long gone if not for me.

You want a pat on the back?
Fine. Nice work.

You're still on armory duty.

What's in this for you?

What do you mean?

POWELL: All the check-ins,
the hovering,

the getting me armory duty.
Why are you doing this?

STREET: Because I almost blew my
shot with SWAT once, and I would like

to see you stick around.

You're a good cop.
POWELL: Exactly.

I am a good cop, which is why

I don't need a mentor.

I don't need you to hold my hand.

I can make it on my own.

Yeah, but that's the point, Powell.

You don't have to do this
on your own.

POWELL: I appreciate
the sentiment,

but you got to give me space.

Please.

[car door opens, closes]
HONDO: Raymont?

Why aren't you picking up
your phone?

HARRIS: My bad.
Been running around.

Company's growing.

Check out the new van.

HONDO: We need to talk.

Why? What's going on?
It's about Saint.

We've been through this, Hondo.

HARRIS: Everything he's done

for Freshness on Wheels has
been above board.

Everything you know of, Raymont.

I believe he's using one of
your warehouses

to hide a detective that
he kidnapped.[scoffs]

Saint? Kidnap a cop?

HONDO: Look, I know how
that sounds to you.

His investment got my business
off the ground. Now I'm soaring.

So, yeah, it sounds crazy to me.

HONDO: My girl Nichelle helped
you incorporate

that symbol into your branding,
right?

HARRIS: The Sankofa.
It represents the idea

that no one is left behind.

Okay, look at that.

This is from a ransom video.

That's your symbol right there.

And that? That's Detective
Rios right now.

This is real, kid.
He's been helping me

take down Saint's criminal
empire.

HONDO: Rios is a good cop,
and if I'm right,

he doesn't have a lot of time left.

HARRIS: We just bought a
new warehouse.

It's being renovated, but

this morning, Saint's guy called
and gave the crew the day off.

I need you to give me
that location.

[siren blaring, engine revving]

DEACON: Luca, Tan, you're with
me on the one side.

Street and Powell, you take
the three.

Hondo says this is the warehouse
from the video.

DEACON: Be on the lookout
for two gunmen, maybe more.

Tan, give me eyes inside.

Be on the lookout for Rios.

Don't want him getting caught
in the crossfire.

TAN: I'm not getting any
heat signatures.

LUCA: This place stores food,
right?

Industrial AC might be throwing
off the thermal imaging.

30-David, nothing on
the thermal image.

We're gonna breach the one side,
go shallow to deep.

Roger, 30-David.

STREET: We'll watch the three
side for rabbits.

TAN: Reinforced steal door.
Heavy duty.

Breach in three, two, one.

LAPD SWAT!

Hallway clear.

DEACON: I got middle.

Tan go left, Luca take right.

Head on a swivel.

LUCA: Warehouse is empty.

DEACON: Street, Powell,

anything?

Nothing back here, either.
STREET: Making entry.

DEACON: This doesn't make
any sense.

There's nobody here.

TAN: 25-David. I got something
over here.

This is where Rios was
hanging in the video.

LUCA: Fresh blood.

Still hasn't dried.

Looks like he was waterboarded.

Still wet. Couldn't have
been sitting here long.

We must've just missed them.

Saint knew we were coming.
LUCA: No way.

POWELL: How could he have
known?

DEACON: Someone tipped
him off.

HONDO: You're not doing yourself
any favors by not talking to me.

You're the only one who
could've warned Saint.

If we don't find Detective Rios
in time to save him,

you can be charged as an accessory.

HARRIS: I know what you
think of cops,

but Hondo's a good one.
Saved my life.

You can trust him.

Phoebe, tell me what you know.

Please.

PHOEBE: My brother Marcus
is Saint's driver.

When I heard you talking
about raiding the warehouse,

I got scared that he might
get hurt.

HONDO: So you called Marcus and
warned him that we were coming?

Is he involved with Saint's
criminal activity?

No.

All he does is take him to
meetings and wait in the car.

Your brother might be in real
danger, Phoebe.

We both want the same thing..
to get our people home safely.

Help me.

STREET: Hey, Deke, can I talk
to you a minute?

DEACON: Yeah. I'm just running
some gear out to Betty. What's up?

Hondo put me in charge
of getting Powell in line.

How's that going?

[sighs] Not great.

I'm just having trouble getting
through to her.

Well, what have you tried?

Encouragement, self-deprecation,
tough love.

Everything you and Hondo used
on me in the beginning.

DEACON: Well, that's your
problem right there. She's not you.

STREET: What do you mean?
I was just like her when I got here.

Look, I've got four kids. Each one
of them has a different father.

Okay. You lost me.

Wh.. What I mean is, each one
of my kids is an individual.

They respond to parenting
differently,

so I.. I have to take a different
approach with each one of them.

The tough love that I use on
Matthew

would never work on Lila.

Hmm.
She's too smart for that.

STREET: How did you figure out
what works best for each kid?

DEACON: Simple. I.. I just listened,
I got to know them.

How much do you actually know
about Powell?

Not a ton. I mean, she plays it
pretty close,

but she did tell me the reason

that.. that she doesn't trust
protocol is

‘cos it got an old partner hurt.

Okay, well, that's a start.

How much does she know
about you?

Not much, I guess.
Okay.

DEACON: You want Powell to
open up, let her guard down,

you got to let yours down first.

Make sense?
STREET: Yeah. Yeah, it does.

Thanks.

SAINT: Yes.

I'm here.

Where are you?

Mm-hmm.

Thanks, Marcus.

Wait in the car.

[door closes]

[phone buzzing]

MARCUS: Hello?

PHOEBE: Marcus, you okay?

Yeah, what's up?

Where are you?

I'm at the soup kitchen.

Why?

Marcus, this is Sergeant
Harrelson, LAPD SWAT.

Phoebe is safe, but you might
be in danger.

Are you with Saint right now?

I mean, yeah, he's in a meeting.
He told me

to wait in the car.
MARCUS: What.. What's going on?

HONDO: Does anything look out
of the ordinary from where you are?

PHOEBE: Marcus?

Phoebe, come on.
You know the cops

are always messing with Saint.
I mean, think about

what he does for the community.
He gave me a job to help pay

for Pop's medical bills.

PHOEBE: No, they're not messing
with him this time.

Saint kidnapped a cop.

No, you're wrong.
He wouldn't do that.

MARCUS: Now, I'll prove it.

HONDO: No. Marcus, Marcus,

do not get out of that car!

Marcus!

SAINT: It didn't have to come
to this, Detective,

but you've squeezed my
storage houses,

chipped away at my packaging
facilities,

so now we find ourselves here.

I need my flash drive back.

Where is it?

RIOS: Do you really have it in you
to kill a cop, Saint?

Because you're gonna have to.

RIOS: I'll never tell you where
that drive is.

SAINT: You will.

After all, your family can only hide

from me for so long.
You leave my family alone!

You understand me?

MARCUS: Ph.. Phoebe? Phoebe.

Yeah, you.. you were right.

There are men here.
One of them's all bloody.

HONDO: Marcus, listen to me.
You got to get out of there.

Get out of there now.
You get back to that car.

Do you understand?

Yeah.

LUCIUS: Thought I heard
something. Come here.

[beeping]

PHOEBE: Marcus? Marcus.
No, Marcus.

HONDO: Raymont, you and
Phoebe, you stay right here.

We're gonna get
your brother back.

[crying]

[door closes]

[Marcus groaning]

Come on, man. I won't tell
nobody, all right? Please!

SAINT: I told you to stay in the car.

But it's okay, Marcus.

Maybe this is for the best.

RIOS: Hey, you leave him alone.

You may not value your own life,

but certainly, you won't let me
kill this innocent boy.

Mr. St. John, Saint, please, please.

RIOS: Don't!
Where is it?

SAINT: Time's up.
MARCUS: No! No, no, no.

Please!
RIOS: Wait! Wait! Wait!
It's in my car.

It's hidden in my car.

That's where I stashed it.

[panting]
SAINT: There.

Was that so hard?

MARCUS: Saint, Saint,
come on, please.

Please. I'm sorry.

[Marcus yelling]

[siren blaring, engine revving]

DEACON: Hondo.

You with us?

Thinking about Rios.

We'll get him back.
And what if we don't?

I've been chasing that
son of a bitch for over a year.

Every day looking forward
to the moment

we finally slap cuffs on him.
There ain't no victory

in busting him for Rios' murder.

Look, I saw how much Saint got
to you at the park earlier.

You're gonna be able to
keep your head

if we are too late to save Rios?

If we are too late for Rios,

I am not letting his sacrifice
be for nothing.

We take Saint down clean.

HICKS: Command to 20-David.

Marcus' phone has left the
soup kitchen.

Looks like Saint's on the move.

He's heading north on Alvarado.

Uh, check that.
Now west on Chavez.

LUCA: What should we do, Hondo?
Stay the course to the soup kitchen

or call an audible and follow
the phone?

Just ‘cos Saint's in motion
doesn't mean Rios is with him.

He's right.
There's no way

to know if they're still together.

If Saint got what he wanted,

he may be going after
that flash drive.

DEACON: I.. I hate to say it,

but if.. if Rios gave up the drive,

there's a good chance that
Saint is fleeing a murder.

LUCA: What's your call, boss?

Follow the phone, Luca.
Stay on Saint.

Hey.

You sure?

No, but I better be right.

LUCA: Hang on!

[siren blaring]

[engine revving]

SAINT: Excuse me, sir.
I need an alternator

for a '73 Cadillac Brougham.

Is there anyone here who can
help me?

GUARD: I'm afraid you're gonna
have to come back on Monday.

I'm the only one here.
Unfortunate for you, I guess.

[grunts]

Destroy the security tapes.

I want this clean.
Okay.

MAN #1: Come on.

RIOS: You didn't need to bring
the kid.

SAINT: The kid is my insurance
to keep you honest.

MAN #1: His car's over there.

Move.

Now where's my flash drive?

It's hidden in the passenger
seat headrest.

[sighs]

A hole underneath. It's there.

It better be.

MAN #1: Got it.

SAINT: This little device could have
destroyed everything I've built.

Dump the bodies.
Nothing traces back to me.

[siren blaring]

[tires squealing,
engine revving]

Move!

[indistinct shouting]

[siren chirps]

LUCA: Okay, we've got two
armed suspects.. 10:00 and 2:00.

Both suspects have hostages.

Is one of them Rios?

LUCA: Yes, at your two.

Hey, Saint's moving deeper
into the yard.

HONDO: Now, Street, Powell,
you get Rios and Marcus.

Tan, you stay with Luca.

Deacon, give me two.
We're going after Saint.

Luca, we need cover.
Got it!

20-Squad, move.
Move!

Tan, watch out for one
of the suspects at your seven!

[gunfire][grunts]

TAN: 25-David. First suspect down.

STREET: LAPD! Drop the weapon!

Drop it right now!
Up against the vehicle!

Marcus, this way, quick!
Behind that vehicle.

POWELL: Go, Marcus!

STREET: Up against the vehicle now!
Hands behind your back!

Going hands on. Come here!

STREET: 26-David. Second suspect
in custody. Marcus is safe.

POWELL: Luca, talk to me.
We need eyes.

LUCA: At your twelve. Grey sedan.

[Rios groans]

Drop it!

[grunts]

Move!

Don't!

Hands behind your back.

Hands behind your back!

POWELL: We've got you, Detective.

26-David. Third suspect in custody.

STREET: Rios is safe.

HONDO: 20-David to D-Team.
I've got eyes on Saint.

Stop right there, Saint!

DEACON: Drop the weapon!

DEACON: Don't move.

SAINT: Looks like my back is
against the wall.

DEACON: There's nowhere to go.

HONDO: It's over.

SAINT: Appears to be.

You put that weapon down,
you can still walk out of here.

And what?

Spend the rest of my life
in prison?

You don't need to die today, Saint.

We all punch the clock someday,
Hondo.

Better on my own terms, while
I have the people's hearts.

Once they know what you've done,
that all goes away.

My legacy will speak louder than
your accusations, I assure you.

SAINT: Shoot me,

and I'll remain a hero, and you

will be known as the man
who killed a saint.

[gunshots][Saint grunts]

HONDO: 20-David to Command.
Saint is down.

We need an R/A to location.

[groans]

You ain't no saint.

I told you it was just gonna
take one mistake.

You are not dying a martyr.

[groans]

STREET: Hey, Powell.

POWELL: I thought I was clear
before.

We don't have to do the whole
check-in thing.

You were right. You don't
need me hovering.

I just wanted to help, you know,

and I see a lot of myself in you.

I'm not like you.

And as a woman,

I don't want people thinking
that I need extra help

to keep up, you understand?

Yeah, I do.

I just.. I...

I had a lot of trouble fitting in

when I first got here, too,
and I think

I was trying to be the person
that I needed back then,

not the person that
you need now.

What does that mean?

What kind of person do
I need now?

I don't know.

But I'd like to find out.

Look, um,

there's few of us, we're hanging
at my place tonight.

You should come.

Get to know the team
a little better.

Sure. Sounds fun.

Cool.

[woman speaks indistinctly
over P.A.]

MARIA: [speaking Spanish]

RIOS: Gracias.

HONDO: There he is.
RIOS [laughing]:
Hey.

HONDO: Maria,

I am so sorry.

MARIA: You brought him
back to me.

Thank you.

I'll give you two some space.

How’re you holding up?

Better and better.

I spoke to Cyber.
The flash drive key worked.

Man, that was quick thinking,

you sticking that thing
in the headrest.

RIOS: Ah, heat of the moment,
man.

I saw the hole and reacted.
Glad it worked out.

HONDO: When Cyber unlocked
the encrypted laptop, they found

smuggling routes, illegal
transaction records,

everything we need to put
Saint away for life.
Yeah.

And we're doing everything
we can for your son Charlie.

Hicks thinks, at worst, he's
looking at admin probation.

[sighs] Music to my ears.

Seriously, Rios.

I'm sorry how things went down.

HONDO: I should have never
pushed you into going after Saint.

I almost got you killed.

RIOS: I didn't take up the shield
just to collect a pension.

We did good.

But, yeah, next time you need
a favor,

call somebody else, huh?

[both laughing]

That's fair. [laughs]

HICKS: That's...

Ah, come on.

You're kidding me.

LUCA: Commander? Can I come in?
Yeah.

What's up?

Look, you can come clean,
Commander.

You shouldn't be going through
this without some support.

HICKS: Going through what?

Look, Tan and I heard you
on the phone with your doctor

this morning. We know
something's going on.

If there's anything we can do...

Oh. [laughs]

Oh, Luca, I'm not sick.

HICKS: I was talking to
Luiza Coles

She's...

She's a matchmaker.

But you called her "Doc."

Well, She's got a PhD in sociology.

Everybody calls her "Doc."

OK, so the exercise bike and the diet change?
Luca, I haven't

been on a date in 30 years,
so I just want to, you know,

put my best foot forward.
So you're not sick?

No, no, no, far from it.

If I felt any better, I'd be two people.
Oh.

Hey, oh.

Luca, Luca, that's enough,
that's enough.

Wow. You... That was...

I'm fine, all right?

I still think you might need
my help, though.

Dating's changed a little bit
in 30 years.

Unbutton the top button.. this
is a date, not a job interview.

[laughs]

You remember I'm still
your boss, right?

All right. This is not a job
interview, sir.

How much time do we have?

I'm meeting her for drinks
in an hour.

Oh, my God, okay.
Well, it's not a lot of time,

but it's enough to run you
through the basics.

This what you're gonna wear?

It's casual.
Do you have anything else?

You wear the same thing every day, man.
Yeah, well...

Just roll the sleeves up. That should be good.
Oh, all right.

Nichelle.

Hey.

Hey, beautiful.
Mwaw.

I figured I'd try one of
your mom's recipes

to celebrate your big win.

I have been saving this
congratulations all day.

You've finally put Saint where
he belongs.

Baby, people are already calling
his arrest...

a political hit job.

Oh, they'll come around, but
first they need to mourn.

You have to remember

the man ran charities and
a soup kitchen.

Saint meant something good to
just as many people as he hurt.

Maybe...

you just need a little reminder.

[chuckles] Oh, yeah?
[chuckles]

Of what?

That no matter what people say,

what you did today,
what you do every day

makes the world safer
for everyone in it.

And everyone to come.

You're right.
