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 courtside,
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

LAPD! Take cover!

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 recordingdevice.

- 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

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.

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 livestream 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

livestreaming 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.
