Previously on SWAT...
I didn't want you

to hear I was retiring
from anyone but me.

I don't know what
20-Squad looks like

without you on it.

DEACON: SWAT has been
the priority in my life

for a long time.

You're a sore winner,
you know that?

I just wanted to win SWAT
Tag so I could impress Hondo.

What do you mean
"impress Hondo"?

Squad's getting pretty light.

The way I see it, if you want to

move up in SWAT, 20-Squad's
the place to do it.

At 20-Squad we're a family.

We're not some department
for you to climb.

Have a good night.

♪

Yo, you ready to put
our fakes to the test?

I don't know about this, man.

If you're that worried, Cole,
just go back to the dorm.

IDs got the hologram
and everything.

They look legit as hell.

I mean, they better,
for 400 bucks.

It's practically
every dollar I had.

We can't all have billionaire
dads.[phone buzzing]

My gosh, this new
guy just won't quit.

Harder to ditch
than the last guy?

That's why my dad
fired the last guy.

It's, like, bro,
I'm 19 years old.

I don't need a damn
protection detail

spying on me everywhere I go.

It's, like, so stupid.

This-this line
isn't even moving.

Right? Didn't your
buddy say that there's

a friendly bouncer
working the back door?

Yeah, but who knows if
he's even working tonight?

Come on, dude, let's go.

- You kidding me?
- Josh.

Josh, come on.

- Come on, bro.
- Let's just stick it out in line.

[muffled music playing inside]

The line's brutal tonight, sir.

Wondering if we could
slide in back here?

Decent fake.

Good luck in line. You
can keep your money.

Okay, how about two
conference semifinal tickets?

They're not court side,
but they're close.

I'll literally AirDrop
'em to you right now.

[tires screeching]

What the hell? Look out!

- Yo, easy now.
- Get in the van. Go!

Okay. What do you want?

You want my wallet? My watch?

Please. You don't
have to do this.

[grunting]

We don't want no trouble.

[groans]

[tires screech]

DISPATCHER [over phone]:
911, what's your emergency?

Oxfords on Figueroa. Two
kids were just abducted.

Send help fast.

DEACON: 40 minutes to
the Community Center?

- How is that possible?
- I'm telling you,

the protesters blocked
traffic for hours.

Florence was a parking lot.

So, this Energy Industry
Forum, how long does it last?

All the big gas and oil
companies are meeting

- for the next three days.
- Thank you.

Can't end soon
enough, if you ask me.

Protests are getting bigger,
people are getting bolder.

Someone's gonna get hurt.

NICHELLE: The whole
LAPD's on Tactical Alert.

I know you're only a few
weeks into retirement, Deacon,

but I bet you don't
miss that one.

Being on call for
days at a time?

I can't say I miss
that part too much.

I still find myself waking up
in the middle of the night,

grabbing for my phone,

convinced I missed a SWAT call.

- I make him turn it off now.
- Mm.

[both chuckling]

You still getting used
to this retirement thing?

DEACON: Yeah, you
could say that.

Being a SWAT officer was
my identity for so long,

I guess I just got to fake it

- till I make it.
- You'll find your rhythm, man.

So, you must be
staffing up 20-Squad?

It's a work in progress.

I really want to find
the right mix of people.

You're trying to capture our
old 20-Squad magic, aren't you?

Hey. We still miss
having you around.

[phone beeping]

Two male students were abducted
from an alley behind Oxfords.

Last seen in a gray
van going west on King.

That's a few blocks from here.

Hey, babe.

Listen, I'm sorry. I got to go.

NICHELLE: I love you.
Be safe.[Hondo kisses]

I'm sorry I got to
bounce on y'all.

Thanks for coming.
This was really nice.

Yeah. We'll do it.
- Again soon. Go. - Yeah.

All right.

Bye. [Chuckles]

[sighs]

HONDO: 20-David. I got a van
matching the suspects' vehicle.

2200 block on King.

Gonna check it.
Send a cover unit.

20-David, van has no plates.

[tires screeching]

[siren wailing]

Possible suspect headed west
down an alley off Arlington.

- Hey!
- Move, move!

This is my house.

[tires screech]

[engine revving]

[siren wailing]

[horn blaring]

Truck has stopped at
Hart and Van Ness.

Gray van possibly
linked to the abduction

of two college-aged males.

Van's empty.[gunshots]

Shots fired.

LAPD! Drop the weapon.

In pursuit.

Suspect is male,
wearing a dark jacket.

On foot, headed east.

Armed suspect headed to the
Van Ness basketball courts.

[indistinct shouting]

LAPD! Take cover!

[people screaming]

Get down!

Take cover. Down! Get down now!

[people screaming, clamoring]

20-David, suspect down.
I repeat, suspect down.

Roll an R/A to the
Van Ness courts.

Adult Black male,
GSW to the chest.

Breathing but unconscious. Hey.

Keep those eyes open,
man. Keep them open.

Oh, man.[others murmuring]

I need everybody to back
up and give him room!

Where's his weapon?

You just shot an unarmed man!

He didn't even have a gun, bro!

I said back up and
give him space. Move!

How you gonna shoot
your own people?

[others shouting] Damn
it, where's my R/A?

I need an R/A now!

Make room! Please!

EMTs are right behind us.

Coming through. HONDO:
Stay with me, man.

- Stay with me.
- Out of the way, people.

OFFICER: Sergeant,
his gun is over here.

Any sign of the abducted boys?

No. They weren't in the van.

MAN: He was running
away from you!

Can't trust none of y'all.
I can't believe this, man!

♪

These our kidnapped victims?

Josh Wolf and Cole Raysitch,
both sophomores at SC.

Josh's dad, JP, owns
Wolf Petrochemical.

Estimated net worth is

somewhere between two
and three billion.

Somebody's after a big payday.

How about his buddy Cole, here?

Wrong place, wrong time.

Only contact we've
had with either family

was a call from John
P. Wolf's attorney.

He claims the kidnappers
haven't made contact.

No ransom request, - no hostage video.
- Yeah, right.

Hicks doesn't buy it either.

Kidnappers probably demanded
some ungodly amount of money,

said no cops, and the
parents are playing ball.

- They're making a mistake.
- DEACON: I agree.

They're making a big one.

Paying off the
kidnappers is risky.

There's no guarantee
they'll keep the boys alive.

- Deac.
- What're you doing here?

Came to talk to Hicks.

I, uh, might have an in with
JP Wolf's security guys.

I know a guy who
put me in contact

with Josh's bodyguard.

This kid has a bodyguard?

Where the hell
was he last night?

Oh, that's what I
want to find out.

He said no cops,

so I offered to
meet him on the DL.

Guess being retired paid off.

Yeah. Well, we'll see.

- I'll keep you posted.
- Yeah.

HONDO [recorded]:
I need an R/A now!

MAN: - You just shot an unarmed man!
- That's crazy, right?

HONDO: I said back up
and give him space. Move!

MAN: He didn't even
have a gun, bro!

TAN: What do you got there?

Oh, he was just showing me

what happened with
Hondo last night.

"Flagrant foul at half-court."

That's just the caption.
He didn't write that.

Yeah, I'm not stupid, Alfaro.

I know how posting
a video works.

This funny to you guys?

- No. Not at all.
- You know we had

something happen like
this on 20-Squad before?

With our old team leader, Buck.

This is totally different.
Buck accidentally shot a kid.

Like, Hondo took down
a dangerous, armed man.

What happened back then
put a spotlight on SWAT

that nobody wanted.
It fractured a team,

nearly ruined a kid's life.

This isn't like that, Tan.

You got no idea
what it was like.

You weren't here.

Anyone else think anything
about this is funny?

- No, sir.
- Good.

HICKS: What the hell
am I looking at?

HONDO: Kidnappers
were wearing some type

of anti-facial
recognition masks.

Messes with the camera,

makes it much harder
for them to be ID'd.

Well, there's a lot of
activists visiting L.A.

for this Energy Industry Forum.

What are the odds

they're some sort of
environmental wackos?

Could be. But with JP Wolf

and his attorneys
stonewalling us,

we ain't got nothing to go
on, except the stolen van.

Kidnappers must've
switched the boys

to a second vehicle
before I showed up.

Left the driver behind
to ditch the van.

All right.

You hear if he's.
- Out of surgery yet? - Yeah.

The doctors say it might be days

before we get a
statement, though.

What do we know about him?

His name's Tyler Mason.

He's been in and
out of the system

for felony domestic assault.

Moved to South L.A.
from the East Coast

- just a few months back.
- Well, at least he'll survive.

I just hope those
boys can do the same

- until we get to them.
- Yeah.

You and me both, Commander.

You didn't do anything
wrong last night.

You know that, right?

Yeah, I do.

But there was a moment

when I thought I
made a huge mistake.

The whole time he was
running at those people,

I saw the gun in his hand,

but when he was closing
in on that girl,

I got to admit, I took my
eyes off him for a second, and

[sighs] he turned and
lifted his weapon.

And you took the shot,

in accordance with your
training, by the book.

I'm supposed to be better.
- Than the book, sir. - Hondo,

this was a justified shooting.

Commander, it ain't
about being justified.

It's about me. I'm a Black cop.

I shot a young Black man
in a chaotic situation

in front of a lot of people.

Sometimes when
people look at me,

they don't see a protector

they see a sellout.[sighs]

I've spent my whole career
trying to bridge the gap

between the streets I
grew up on and the LAPD.

That's why I choose
to wear this badge.

And you've earned
a lot of goodwill

and respect in the process.

This one incident
can't undo all that.

Any time an officer pulls a
trigger, justified or not,

it can chip away at the trust

that we've worked
so hard to earn.

Well, then it's up to
us to earn it back.

[sighs] Look, I...

I know the timing sucks,

but I'm gonna need your proposal

on that official 20-Squad roster

to run up the chain,
and the sooner

I sign off on it, the better.

You'll get it by
the end of the day.

[phone buzzing]

One of the kidnapped
boys' dad's here.

I sure the hell
hope it's JP Wolf.

I got this.

Mr. Raysitch, appreciate
you coming in.

The detective said you were
reluctant to talk to the police.

JP Wolf said it was a bad idea.

Said there was no reason to
get the authorities involved.

Did he say why?

Yeah, he said cops would
only mess things up.

Since it was his
money they were after,

he's the one that should
be handling things.

There's a ransom demand?

I don't know any
of the specifics.

[sighs]

He promised that he would
get Cole back home to us.

My wife said, since they're rich

and he's well connected, he
must know what he's doing.

But it's been hours

since we've heard from
anyone in their camp.

Cole is a good boy.

Smart as a whip.
Worked his ass off

to get into that college.
He almost didn't go

when he found out that I had
to take out a second mortgage

to cover the tuition,

but a kid like Cole,
he belongs in school.

TAN: He ever talk
about Josh Wolf?

Other friends they
hang out with?

Yes, he mentioned that he
had a friend named Josh.

I had no idea that he was
heir to some big fortune.

But that's Cole.

Money doesn't impress him.

He spent last summer

volunteering in Bangladesh
teaching kids English.

Before he left for college,

I warned him, I said you're
gonna be around a lot of kids

that haven't been
raised like you were.

You're gonna have to be careful
who you trust, and now look.

Please help me get my son back.

[TV sportscaster
speaking indistinctly]

Pete Moore? David Kay.

Hey.

Thanks for agreeing to meet me.

So, uh,

I'm just curious about
what happened last night.

You were assigned
to protect Josh.

How'd he get away
from you, exactly?

Josh didn't want a
protective detail

following him around everywhere.

He's supposed to keep a
tracker on him at all times.

He left it in his dorm room,
climbed out the window. Mm.

- He's a normal kid, you know?
- Hmm.

As normal as you can be
in that family, I guess.

What can you tell
me about his family?

His father, JP?

Nothing.

Signed an NDA before I
started working for them.

Lawyer said they
can still enforce it

even though they
terminated my employment.

- They fired you?
- Is that a surprise to you?

I had one job.

Protect Josh.

- I failed.
- Look, Pete.

Do you honestly believe

that JP Wolf would sue you

if the information that you
provided to the authorities

helped get his son back?

JP Wolf is a son of a bitch.

Josh's mom, Caroline,

she might be your "in."

Salt of the earth.

So is Josh.

He's a sweet kid, you know?

Just wants his dad's approval.

Didn't ask for any of this,

being held by these militants.

Militants?

Eco-terrorists, whatever
you want to call them.

Wait, how do you know that?

I heard the end of
the hostage video

from JP's office as
I was being escorted

from the house.

They said, if the
family didn't obey,

the boys would be
killed in 18 hours.

That was... 13 hours ago.

Did you hear any of.
- The kidnappers' demands? - No.

Nothing like
that.[sighs] All right.

Mm.

They did sign off with
their name, though.

It was a "green"
something. Green...

Riot or Green...

Green Rebellion. That was it.

Thanks.

Get home safe.

Environmentalist
nuts, I knew it.

What do we know about them?

Found an eco-activist
forum on the dark web

with a user named
"Green Rebellion."

Hasn't posted in
months, but they claim

to lead a group of "earth
warriors" based in L.A.

POWELL: The user also claims

to have people on
the front lines

of every environmentalist
cause under the sun:

Fighting to stop
drilling, mining...

Their last post was a
link to this article.

Last year, a plastics
manufacturer in Moorpark

had their servers hacked.
Factory had to shut down.

As employees were
being evacuated,

a crew started lobbing
Molotov cocktails

from the roof of the
building next door.

Six people were hospitalized.

Perps were never
found. After that,

Green Rebellion went dark.

Can we track. - Whoever posted that?
- We've been trying

to trace the I.P.

Waiting to hear back from
the service provider.

Most of the other
commenters on here

seem to be people
living off the grid,

trying to save the world...

Yeah, spare me the
tree-hugger manifesto.

I got two missing kids

and a family attorney who's
giving me the runaround.

TAN: The I.P. address
is still active.

Tracks to an apartment
complex on Reynoso Street.

Can't tell which
apartment, though.

All right, get over
there and figure it out.

Go, go.

[knock on door]

ALFARO: Ma'am, have
you seen these boys?

Mm-mm.

[both sigh]

I know this is frustrating,

but we can't leave
any stone unturned.

I'm Officer Alfaro. This
is Sergeant Harrelson.

We're with the LAPD
looking for two

abducted young men.

Either of them look
familiar to you?

ISAIAH: Nah.

But he do.

Excuse me?

You the cop that shot
that guy last night.

Man, he was running
away from you.

Well, I heard y'all
found a gun too, right?

Damn disgrace.

I guarantee whatever
clip you saw,

it don't tell the
whole truth, brother.

You from around here?

- HONDO: Born and raised.
- Mm.

Well, the LAPD done
scrubbed the streets off you

real good, homie.

You ain't Black.

What're you doing?

LAPD. We have a warrant.

Building manager let us in.
- You work here? - Sometimes.

Do maintenance on lots
of buildings around here.

Still can't pinpoint
the I.P. address.

You recognize these
faces, by any chance?

Yeah, actually. I
saw them last night.

- What? Where?
- Courtyard.

They looked wasted.

Their buddies were practically
dragging them home.

You see which unit
they went into?

Yeah. Unit three. It's
been vacant for months.

Kids go in there
to smoke and drink.

Didn't think anything of it.

- TAN: Bathroom clear.
- Closet clear.

ALFARO: - LAPD! Lower your weapons!
- POWELL: Drop the guns!

- Drop the guns now!
- Police!

Wait, we work for Mr. Wolf.

Put the guns down.

JP Wolf hired us
to find the boys.

We just got here,
saw the open door,

we thought you were
the kidnappers.

Why'd you come here?

Got an anonymous tip that
the boys were spotted here.

JOSH'S VOICE: Help me!

- I can't breathe in here!
- Get that trunk open now.

JOSH'S VOICE: - Please, God, please.
- That's him. That's Josh.

Can anybody hear me? I
need help. I'm suffocating.

TAN: Check this out.

It's a recording device.

- This was all a setup.
- Why?

HONDO: Kidnappers are
sending the family a message.

They just didn't realize
we'd find it, too.

Call your boss.

We're gonna need
to speak to him.

I don't give a damn how long
you've been practicing law.

Look, you tell your client that
his so-called "recovery agents"

could've made a fatal mistake

confronting my
officers like that.

I understand that he
just wants his kid back.

The easiest way to
make that happen

is for him to start cooperating.

This is Josh's
mother, Caroline Wolf.

Josh's protection
officer put us in touch.

This is Sergeant Harrelson.

Mrs. Wolf, I'm glad you came.

My husband is convinced that

involving the police
puts Josh in more danger,

and I'm not gonna risk

my son's life because
of my husband's ego.

He says that he "won't
negotiate with terrorists,"

but I will.

- The kidnappers made contact?
- Yeah.

This was in JP's inbox

after Josh was taken.

It came from an
encrypted email address.

[keyboard clicks]

[distorted]: Toxic
waste dumping.

Chemical spills. Cancer.

Death. Wolf Petrochemical
has destroyed

thousands of lives.

One: The company will
immediately cease operations.

Two: Mr. Wolf

will publicly apologize to
all of the company's victims.

Three: $200 million
will be distributed

by us to said victims
via an offshore account.

If you want these boys to live,

if you don't want
us to kill your son,

you have 18 hours to abide.

No police.

We are Green Rebellion.

There's less than
three hours left.

I mean, even if we

get them that kind of money,

do you think they'll
release Josh?

Typically, in these situations,

we want an open line
of communication

so we can try and buy some time.

They mentioned an
offshore account.

Any idea how your husband
was supposed to access that?

After they sent the video,

they emailed him
that bank account.

The routing number is
from a bank in Panama.

Oh, my God. I
shouldn't have come.

- What if they hurt my baby?
- Hey, hey.

I assure you, we're gonna
do everything we can

to find the boys.

Forensics find anything
useful on the voice recorder?

Nothing that helps us
ID the kidnappers yet.

Hey.

You didn't have to call
me out like that earlier

- in front of everyone.
- Hondo was just doing his job.

Why is that. - Entertainment to you?
- You should know I think.

Hondo's taking heat for
something he doesn't deserve.

I think this whole
thing is bogus.

Me watching that video

doesn't change the fact
that it's already out there.

You just seemed a little too
enthusiastic about it to me.

Like if the fallout from
this were to get Hondo

suspended or something,

it'd present an
opportunity for you.

What are you talking about?

- You know I respect Hondo.
- Do you?

Or are you rooting
for him to fail,

hoping that 20-Squad gets even
lighter than it already is?

Street, Luca, Deacon, all gone.

[scoffs] Hell, if
Hondo goes down,

you might be named the youngest
team leader in SWAT history.

If you're trying
to move up in SWAT,

20-Squad's the place
to do it, right?

[scoffs] Powell
told you what I said

about wanting to impress Hondo

so I can maybe move
on to your squad?

Look.

Maybe I didn't phrase it right,

but I'm not wishing
for anyone's downfall,

especially not Hondo's.

He's a damn legend.

That's why I want
to be on 20-Squad.

So I can work with him,
learn from all you guys.

I just run my mouth sometimes.

And I admit, I'm-I'm
a little ambitious.

But is that so bad?

Maybe not,

but you're not someone
I'd ever want on my team.

♪

[distorted]: You have
18 hours to abide.

No police.

We are Green Rebellion.

They want to give $200 million
to the company's victims.

What kind of cut do you think

they're planning to
take for themselves?

You don't think
it's about ideology?

Well, that might be what
they're telling themselves,

but I think whosever behind this

is after a winning
lottery ticket.

But the questions is,

are they willing to kill
teenagers to get it?

We have any clue
where this was filmed?

No. The metadata shows
the kidnappers are using

advanced software to cover
their tracks.[knocking]

You are all gonna
want to see this.

Package was just dropped
off here for Caroline Wolf.

No return address, just says,
"Friends of Josh and Cole."

"Friends" as in kidnappers.

How'd they know Josh's mother
was here in the first place?

No idea.

Caroline Wolf left

just before the
courier delivered it.

Well, let's open the damn thing.

"Caroline, we know
you're with the cops.

Too bad for your son. Ticktock."

It's his pinky finger.

Trying to show us
they mean business.

Things are spiraling
out of control.

Kidnappers clearly had someone
following Caroline Wolf to HQ.

I've checked every traffic
cam that shows her arrival.

Haven't seen anyone
suspicious on her tail.

Must've shadowed
her from a distance.

What about the courier? Any
clue how he got the package?

He picked it up on the front
porch of a house in El Monte,

but we contacted the
homeowners. They're in Vegas.

No home security.

Kidnappers used a phony address.

Looks like they paid
for the courier service

with a prepaid credit card.

Convenience store owner
sent me the security tape

from this morning.

The card was
purchased by this man.

DEACON: He's got to be
one of the kidnappers.

What's he wearing? Scrubs?

There's nothing around
the store but vacant lots,

except for this one building.

It's an old
psychiatric facility.

Property record says it
went belly-up years ago.

Place is abandoned.

Tell Hondo, go hit it.

♪

This place gives me the creeps.

Tan, check out the blood.

[rattling nearby]

LAPD!

Show me your hands![whimpering]

Cole Raysitch?

Yes.

Is there anyone else here?

No, everyone's gone.

Maybe 20, 30 minutes ago.

I fought one of the
attackers off and-and hid.

They still have Josh.

You got to help him.

They're gonna kill him.

[indistinct chatter] TAN:
Hondo, you wanted to see me?

I heard you told Alfaro

that you don't want
him on our team.

Sounds about right.

There are videos
going around of you,

after you shot that
suspect last night.

I know, Tan. I was there.

Saw a lot of people recording.

People who might feel some
type of way about police.

But you think Alfaro was
making light of the situation?

I don't know. It rubbed
me the wrong way.

He rubs me the wrong way.

Well, I got to admit, I
find that disappointing.

So do I.

But I feel like Alfaro's
just an opportunist.

I'm not talking about Alfaro.

Tan, you've been a
member of this team

longer than anyone else now.

I expect more of you, man.

With things like this, I
expect you to hash it out.

With times like this,
we got to come together.

We? Alfaro's not
even on 20-Squad.

I plan on bringing
him on board for real.

[scoffs] Look, I appreciate
you coming to my defense, I do.

But I don't need you
getting bogged down

with distractions
like last night.

I like Alfaro.

I think he'll be a good
addition to the squad.

Quicker you get your
head around that,

the better.

Now, come on.

Let's go talk to this kid.

Cole.

How're you holding up?

Better now.

Any word from Josh's parents?

What's their next move?

You don't need to worry
about any of that.

Can you remember
anything distinctive

- about the kidnappers?
- TAN: Tattoos,

scars, nicknames?

COLE: No, nothing like that.

They kept us chained up
in a room the whole time.

After they dragged Josh
out, I heard him beg,

"No, not my finger."

And then he started screaming.

I never saw him
again after that.

And when they came back for you,

you fought back and escaped?

I punched one of them and I ran.

They stopped trying to
find me after a while.

I guess it wasn't
me they wanted.

Josh's parents need to know
they're not messing around.

They cut off his pinky,
they won't hesitate

- to kill him.
- His pinky.

How'd you know that?

You just told us that
you didn't see Josh again

after they dragged him out.

So how'd you know which
finger they cut off?

I-I... He yelled it maybe.

Cole, you're involved
in this, aren't you?

- What are you talking about?
- You are helping these people.

You would betray a
friend like that?

Josh was never my friend.

Did you know Wolf Petrochemical
has a plant outside Dhaka?

Bangladesh. That's where
you studied abroad.

That's where my
eyes were opened.

Dhaka's the most beautiful
place in the world.

The mangrove forests, the
rice patties, the people.

30,000 of them live

in the shadow of his
plant's smokestacks.

100,000 more in a
ten-mile radius.

What do you think the
groundwater's like?

Worst on Earth.

Mortality rate?

Worst outside a war zone.

People are dying every day,
and it's JP Wolf's fault.

So you helped kidnap his son?

I'm saving lives!

Once I realized Josh
Wolf went to my school,

I had something to offer.

To offer who? Green Rebellion?

JP Wolf needs to pay
for what he's done.

It's not just what he's
done to Bangladesh.

Wolf Petrochemical is
strangling our world.

Taking down the house of Wolf

will finally get
people's attention.

Who are your accomplices?

What are they planning
on doing with Josh?

You can still stop
them from hurting him.

We can talk to the
D.A.COLE: It's too late.

Josh and his family will
get what they deserve.

So will you.

Get him restrained.

Turn around.

[handcuffs clicking]

All right, what do
you need to show me?

Here's Cole during
his summer in Dhaka.

He shared a "Bari,"
it's like a bungalow,

with four people.

Well, tell me you
have their identities.

Eliza Crane, Zane Graham,

Omar Malik, Tom Fawcett.

Now, we don't know much
about Eliza and Zane,

but they appear
to be L.A. locals.

Now, Omar and Tom

are activists out of Quebec,

suspected of
murdering this woman.

Erin Jayne Sass,
daughter of Brett Sass,

CEO of Terrasafe.

The pesticide?

Yeah, she was abducted two
years ago, killed a day later.

Her dad refused
to pay the ransom.

Kidnappers recorded a video

of Erin reading a list of.

Terrasafe's "transgressions
against humanity,"

before killing her
and dumping her body

at one of the company's
experimental farms.

And Omar and Tom fled to Canada

and been on the run ever since.

Now, you said these
two are local?

West Adams. Neighbor
said they're a couple.

They moved in last year.

They're into "eco-sabotage."

Allegedly they're harmless.

Travel up to Ontario
for tree-sits,

that sort of thing.

Harmless my ass.

Yeah, Eliza and Zane

haven't been seen
for a few weeks,

but guess who lives
across the street

- from them?
- Who?

Tyler Mason.

The driver from the abduction
that Hondo took down.

Well, looks like we
got our kidnappers.

We have a lot more
than that, sir.

The neighbor says that there's
usually an old red minivan

parked outside their place.

All right, put out a BOLO.

In the meantime, you do a
deeper dive into this crew.

This kid's life is at
stake, and I don't want

these bastards slipping
through our fingers.

Hey, there you are.

I got to go. Annie's in court,

and I can't find anybody to
pick up Victoria at pre-K.

Yeah, go, man.

Thanks for your help today.

It was really nice
having you back around.

Yeah. Go.

Hondo, listen.

I know it's easy for me to say,
but this negative attention,

it'll blow over.

You'll get through it.

Just like you always do.

I don't know, Deac.

No matter the truth
about what happened,

sometimes these things just
take on a life of their own.

And after what happened
in my house last week,

I mean, Nichelle's
all of a sudden

talking about selling the place.

[sighs]

And I got a lot of people,

especially Black folks

looking at me sideways.

You know, the truth is the truth

even if no one believes it.

[chuckles softly]

Just give it time.

And, hey, I'm always
just a phone call away.

Thanks, Deac. I know that.

And I appreciate you for it.

Back to work.

There's our match made in hell.

The boyfriend has
almost no footprint.

But there's plenty
of intel on Eliza.

She's been arrested at
protests from coast to coast.

BOLO on the red
minivan just got a hit.

It was spotted getting
off the freeway

on the Third Street
exit downtown.

CHP lost track of 'em.

Cole said they want to "take
down the house of Wolf"

to get people's attention.

Wolf's corporate headquarters
is on Third Street.

Got to be where they're headed.

Let's go.

[exhales] Hey.

I want to go with you.

No.

I need you here to make
sure our message gets out.

The world needs to hear
what we have to say.

Ready?

I'll be waiting
where we planned.

- See you there.
- See you there.

♪

Stop right there![gunshots]

ELIZA: Looks like Daddy's just
got a skeleton crew working today.

Rest of 'em are probably
out there looking for you.

His office is on
the eighth, right?

I'm begging you, please, please!

Begging gets you nowhere, Josh.

[elevator dings]

Sometimes you got
to take action.

[siren wailing]

Witnesses saw three
armed suspects

take Josh to the eighth floor.

That's where the
executive suite is.

And the entire building's
security hub, too.

They might have eyes all over.

Count on it. Hicks is
working with the city

to cut the power to the building

and the backup generator.

Shutting down cell towers, too.

But once we're in
there, be careful.

The kidnappers know they're
backed into a corner.

They got nothing to lose.

New post from the Green
Rebellion message board.

They're setting Josh up for
a live stream statement.

Says he goes on in two minutes.

10,000 viewers and counting.

Pulling up now. Get ready.

All right, we're going up nine
flights of stairs, and fast.

This is why we train.

ELIZA: Cops are already here.

[power whirring down]

Bastards cut the power and
the cell signals are down.

Are you still picking
up the feed, babe?

Yeah, locked and loaded.

Still good. 40 seconds out.

Block the stairwells. Make sure
nobody else gets on this floor.

Everyone needs to hear
Josh's last words!

- OFFICER: Whoa, whoa, ma'am.
- She's okay, let her through.

We heard they have Josh inside.

Can you please just tell
me, is my son alive?

Yes, I believe so.

And we're doing all we
can to keep it that way.

Okay, JP said that he's
gonna pay what they want.

- Okay.
- So, tell the kidnappers that we're gonna pay.

Ma'am, I understand.

Can you just speak
to my husband?

Maybe after we save
your son, okay?

Puck's in place.

Snake-cam shows two
suspects in the bullpen.

Josh just went live.

How?

Commander, I thought we
jammed the cell signals

- around the property?
- Yeah, we did.

So with no power and no cell
service, how are they still

live streaming
Josh over the web?

They must have somebody nearby,

helping them get the signal out.

Wolf Petrochemical has been
poisoning our world for years.

Families have been torn
apart, lives cut short,

while JP Wolf
continues to prioritize

profit over humanity.

[explosion]

LAPD!

Put down your weapons! We
can handle this peacefully!

20-Squad, stay
with the suspects!

Tan, you're with me. Moving!

[rapid gunfire] Keep reading!

My father refuses to
acknowledge, [gunfire]

or make amends for them.

So today, in front of the world,

I will pay for his
crimes with my life.

We've got to flush them out.

[grunts]

Suspect down.

Time to give up.

It's over. Put
your weapons down.

Where'd he go?

ALFARO: Hondo, we lost
the other suspect.

Roger. Nearing the
executive suite.

[gunfire] Cover!

He's out. Now's our chance.

[grunting]

TAN: I got him. Go find
Josh.[flex-cuff tightens]

Today, my father finally
faces consequences

for his negligence...

LAPD! Open up!

I said keep reading!

Got your six.

HONDO: Glass breaker, my twelve.

Say the word.

I am not JP Wolf's first victim.

But after today, I
will be his last.

No! Please don't kill me!

Go.

[grunts]

Josh, you okay?

No, not really.

[distant sirens wailing]

[police radio chatter]

HONDO: No sign of the
missing kidnapper?

Nah.

Sir, someone was
getting that signal out.

Well, I got officers
scouring the area.

Great work, everyone.

What'd JP Wolf have to say?

Well, I haven't
spoken to him yet.

But his first words
better be "thank you."

HONDO: Listen up.

I know today's been rough

with everything else going on.

I just want to say
I appreciate y'all

coming together
and getting it done

for Josh and the other
innocent folks inside.

Anyone else got anything to add?

Hmm?

Now's the time to speak up

if you got something
on your mind.

I do.

Look, I'd like to clear the air.

I thought 20-Squad was
where I needed to be.

Today I realized that it's not.

[sighs] Hey.

Thanks for letting
me roll with you

every time I put
in that request.

I just want to be crystal clear

that I'd like to
stay where I am.

50-Squad.

See y'all around.

Alfaro, you don't
need to do that.

You're the one who
talked behind my back,

told Tan what I said.

You made something
out of nothing.

She say anything
that wasn't true?

[sighs]

In case you two haven't noticed,

20-Squad's a little shorthanded.

Either one of you
care to fix this?

I say good riddance.

Not sure there's
much to fix, Hondo.

[sighs]

[door closes]

HONDO: Bet you thought I forgot.

My proposal for a
20-Squad roster.

Oh. [Chuckles]

Well, to be honest,
I'm the one who forgot.

Oh, today's been a beast.

So, no worries if you'd rather
get it to me tomorrow morning.

Commander, I'm gonna
need more time than that.

20-Squad's got to have
the right combination

of personalities and skill sets.

It's not just about
filling spots.

Well, all due respect,
Sergeant, at a certain point,

it is just about filling spots.

Sir, 20-Squad, any team I lead,

I want to make sure
it's a cut above.

Especially after
a day like today.

I know you do.

That's why you're the
best team leader I have.

You got a few more days, okay?

Then I need an answer.

[groans]

I saw the news today.
I'm glad that boy's okay.

Yeah. Me, too.

Hondo really had the deck
stacked against him today.

Well, how'd it feel
being back at SWAT?

I think it might've been too
soon for me to be back there.

What do you mean?

I don't know.

All right.

Good night. Night.

Love you. Love you.
