S.W.A.T.

Previously on SWAT...

My dad killed a cop.

Doesn't matter that it was a decade ago.

Soon as word gets around,

- it's gonna be the same old thing. - You got one warning.

You mess with Gamble,

you mess with 20-Squad, that means you mess with me.

I really like you, and I know we said it was only casual,

but I don't want to lose you.

I know you've taken this job overseas, but

I was wondering if maybe...

I was thinking of turning the job down.

He's already released the inmates in the control unit.

He wants to start a damn riot.

This is your final warning: you stay back.

You're an incompetent moron.

You've got no business running this or any prison.

When my wife hears how you handled things today...

SWAT handled what you couldn't!

And now you want to shift the blame

for your mistakes onto SWAT?

You're finished.

I guarantee it.

You know, I was really about to complain about you

dragging me in early, but watching you choke down

whatever that is might be worth it.

Well, Maggie loves them.

I think I'd rather eat my salad than drink it.

But, listen, I got a heads-up last night

that Deputy Chief Bennett's coming by SWAT today

to conduct her biannual review.

Well, Bennett oversees the department.

You got to do it sometime.

Two months early?

I might buy there's no ulterior motive

if she wasn't married to David Bennett.

Warden Bennett from the prison where we put

that riot down a couple of weeks back.

Oh, I remember him.

- I heard he was put on suspension. - He was.

Pending a Department of Corrections inquiry

happening next week, which I'm supposed to testify.

And then suddenly Deputy Chief decides to visit?

You think she's coming here to influence what you say?

I didn't mince words with the warden during that riot.

I told him I thought he was incompetent

and unfit for his position.

And immediately he brought up his wife's name and her rank.

Okay, but that's on him, sir, not her.

I crossed paths with the deputy chief

a few times when we were both on patrol,

and I always found her to be a stand-up cop.

Well, all right, I-I hear you, but, uh...

I mean, she's risen up.

And you reach a command position,

you got to play politics.

And that can change a person for the worse.

You handle it just fine.

Why don't you reserve judgment for when she's here?

I'm gonna go suit up.

All right.

Hi.

You sure you have to get going?

I... could skip my morning workout,

then I'd have time for breakfast

or maybe...

Oh. Olivia,

please tell me that was not a prized family heirloom.

It was a gift from my mom

to celebrate my first published story.

I'm just kidding.

Thrift store trinket. It's not a big deal.

But the look on your face? Priceless.

Okay, if this is how you want to play,

you can take another assignment and head right back out of town.

Uh, no, thank you.

After a week in a crappy motel,

I missed my bed, my shower,

and my good Wi-Fi.

Well, I missed you.

Well, maybe you could come with me next time.

Not to the middle of nowhere.

I'm on a panel next month in New York.

Maybe we could make a romantic weekend out of it.

Next month?

- Mm-hmm. - Yeah.

I have to check my schedule at work.

Team's been pulling a lot of extra shifts.

Sure.

Yeah, that makes, um...

Victor.

Sorry, but I need you to leave.

Now.

- Really? - Yeah.

Something's come up.

I'll see you later. Okay?

Right.

Later.

What do you think?

Someone forget to put equipment away after a workout,

or is finding all this in Gamble's parking spot

more than a coincidence?

After Hondo told people not to mess with her?

- They'd be crazy. - Or really not want her on SWAT.

At least she's in Oakland packing up

the rest of her stuff and doesn't have to worry about it.

Yeah, but we're here.

I don't think the security cameras see

far out enough to tell us what happened.

I don't think so, either.

- Morning. - Hi.

Someone's chipper.

I earned it today.

Check these out.

Ooh!

Limited edition,

ForceFlow shoe collaboration with, um...

Flexxer. He's a local graffiti artist.

We're aware. Dude can't spray-paint a flower

on a sidewalk without going viral.

These are crazy cool.

And freaking impossible to get.

- Yeah. - The last drop sold out instantly.

- I didn't take you for a sneakerhead. - Oh, no.

That's definitely not for me.

Matthew's been desperate to find a pair,

so got up early this morning,

headed over to the store, waited in line a couple hours.

Okay. Dad of the year.

Well, I almost wasn't.

No, they sold out as I was

three people from the front of the line.

But, thankfully, a woman in the parking lot,

she bought the wrong size.

Turns out they're Matthew's size,

so I lucked out.

- Perfect. - Mm-hmm.

Oh, man, I don't know how to break this to you, but...

these are fakes.

They're knockoffs. You got hustled, Deac.

No, no, I checked.

- Trust me, before I paid, I checked. - No, no, no.

You see this tag?

The thread color's wrong.

On the real deal,

it's black.

See?

Oh. Oh, yeah.

They are fake.

Can't believe I fell for it.

These are crazy good dupes.

Thread color is the tiniest detail.

Yeah, I wouldn't have known to look for it

if I wasn't a sneakerhead myself.

Yeah.

Thing is...

Victoria and Sam, they're easy to please.

But now that Lila and Matthew are teenagers,

they're into so many things that I just,

I don't understand.

So when Matthew mentioned the sneakers,

I thought, "Oh, here's a chance. I can do something

to light up his world, like when he was little."

- Maybe he won't know the difference. - Oh, no. He'll-he'll know.

Let's go to work.

Hey!

Hey, LAPD!

Hey! Olivia!

Stop, stop, stop! Stop, stop!

Move, move, move! Move!

Hey! Slow down, man!

This is LAPD officer Victor Tan

reporting a kidnapping in progress.

Victim's name is Olivia Navarro.

Olivia's phone is off, so we can't track her location.

Any hit on the plates?

We ran 'em, the van popped back as a rental.

Kidnappers used a fake name.

Rental office's security cameras were down.

Damn it, she's been taken.

And our only lead is a dead end.

Okay, give it time, man. We put out a BOLO.

We're not the only ones.

I just got off the phone with the DEA.

They're looking for the same car.

It turns out it was used to abduct

Special Agent Gabriel Rodado

about an hour before Olivia was taken.

They have any idea why?

Agent Rodado is part of the DEA's fight

against a Mexican drug cartel.

Doorbell cam caught this of Rodado's abduction.

That's the man I saw.

That's the guy who took Olivia.

Name's Pedro Legarra.

He's a top lieutenant for the Vallarta cartel,

and I'm afraid it gets worse.

DEA figures he snuck across the border

by private plane, and he wasn't alone.

Mechanic recognized El Sabueso, aka...
