Original subtitles

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

We don't want no trouble.

911, what's your emergency?

Oxfords on Figueroa. Two kids were just abducted.

Send help fast.

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.

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.

You still getting used to this retirement thing?

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.

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.

I love you. Be safe.

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.

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.

Possible suspect headed west down an alley off Arlington.

- Hey! - Move, move!

This is my house.

Truck has stopped at Hart and Van Ness.

Gray van possibly linked to the abduction

of two college-aged males.

Van's empty.

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.

LAPD! Take cover!

Get down!

Take cover. Down! Get down now!

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.

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?

Damn it, where's my R/A?

I need an R/A now!

Make room! Please!

EMTs are right behind us.

- Coming through. - Stay with me, man.

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

Sergeant, his gun is over here.

Any sign of the abducted boys?

No. They weren't in the van.

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. - 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.

I need an R/A now!

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

I said back up and give him space. Move!

He didn't even have a gun, bro!

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.

What the hell am I looking at?

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...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. - 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.

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.

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.

Ma'am, have you seen these boys?

Mm-mm.

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?

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?

- 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.

- Bathroom clear. - Closet clear.

- LAPD! Lower your weapons! - 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.

Help me!

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

- Please, God, please. - That's him. That's Josh.

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

Check this out.

It's a recordingdevice.

- This was all a setup. - Why?

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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?

Tattoos, scars, nicknames?

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. - It's too late.

Josh and his family will get what they deserve.

So will you.

Get him restrained.

Turn around.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Sometimes you got to take action.

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.

Cops are already here.

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!

- 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.

LAPD!

Put down your weapons! We can handle this peacefully!

20-Squad, stay with the suspects!

Tan, you're with me. Moving!

Keep reading!

My father refuses to acknowledge...

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.

Suspect down.

Time to give up.

It's over. Put your weapons down.

Where'd he go?

Hondo, we lost the other suspect.

Roger. Nearing the executive suite.

Cover!

He's out. Now's our chance.

I got him. Go find Josh.

Today, my father finally faces consequences

for his negligence...

LAPD! Open up!

I said keep reading!

Got your six.

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.

Josh, you okay?

No, not really.

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."

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.

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?

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.

Bet you thought I forgot.

My proposal for a 20-Squad roster.

Oh.

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.

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.

You've reached David Kay.

Leave a message.

Long time no see, Mrs. Warren.

How you doing tonight, Cheryl?
