S.W.A.T.

Why did you both sign up for TLI?

I told you guys two weeks ago I was going for it.

Is it a big deal? I don't love competing against my teammates.

You're not seriously worried about beating them, are you?

I know how good they are.

Tan's got one more cadre than me.

Street's been central to huge undercover ops.

They don't feel like friends right now.

I'm looking at early parole, man.

I thought you had six, seven more years at least.

I gotta go before the board in two days.

That's why I called you here.

You want me to speak on your behalf.

I just got out of class

and got a collect call from prison.

Your pop. Yeah.

He said he might be getting out early.

He said you're gonna help him with his parole hearing.

I am not gonna speak on his behalf at the parole hearing.

Leroy, I wish you luck, man,

but you're gonna have to do this thing without my recommendation.

Yo, we ain't done, man.

Do not enter off Bruckman.

Take Anza Drive to the back entrance.

Roger that. Over.

Come on.

Good job.

Man, I don't know.

You worried you hit a curb or something? I think you're good.

Yeah. Wasn't he five seconds under? I didn't notice.

Some of these evaluators are hard-asses.

No telling what they're gonna deduct points for.

You passed.

Told you.

Way to crush it.

Attaboy. Not bad.

Not bad? Two cadres in two months?

He's making the TLI competition a real contest.

I'll worry about my own stuff.

Is something going on with her?

You better get with the program, player.

TLI's mine.

I'm starting to smell victory.

All right, all right, all right. Congratulations.

That's all you got?

You afraid to talk a little trash now?

Like I said, congratulations.

Damn, it's about time you woke up, youngster.

Hey, don't forget you got that Junior College Expo today.

Yeah, everything I need I got; It's in my bag. All right.

Hey, Pops, you still good to drive him, right?

I sure am. All right, cool.

My team's running point at the Rhodium memorial tomorrow,

which means things could get a little crazy.

It says here that they're selling tickets

to this woman's funeral?

Yeah, everything sold out in under a minute.

Yeah, there's not a lot of seats available.

Everybody else has to watch

the procession from the street.

27 years old. What a shame.

I also read something that said if she would have took

a yearly physical, they could have caught

the heart defect that killed her.

It's not weird for you?

You know, guarding Rhodium's memorial?

Especially with everything she said about the police.

You know, D

a lot of people are saying a lot of stuff

about the police lately,

and a lot of it is true.

As long as I keep doing things the right way, and I make sure

the cops I work with do, too,

and we stay true to the community,

I just don't let it bother me.

And as far as Rhodium, I heard some things.

But it just makes me think that she must have had reasons

to feel the way she did.

You expecting somebody?

Leroy.

You look surprised.

I heard you got out.

Yeah, yeah, no thanks to you. I just thought

you might call first, that's all.

You gonna invite me in or what?

Dad.

Hello. Ha ha.

You're looking good, boy.

What, Hondo got you hitting the weights?

A little bit.

Yeah, yeah, I see a little something there.

You wouldn't know it to look at us now,

but, I taught Hondo

everything he knows about lifting.

Mr. Harrelson, it's good to see you.

I heard about the cancer. Keep up the fight.

Don't worry, I ain't got no quit in me.

Yeah, I know, I know.

So you just got out a couple of days ago, is that right?

Yeah, yeah, I would have come right by,

but, they had me doing orientation

at the halfway house, you know.

You got time for a bite?

Right now?

I asked you, not him.

Leroy, Darryl's got a college expo today at 11:00.

Well, that sounds like that gives us

plenty of time, then, to grab a little breakfast.

All right, well, listen, if you can get him back by 10:00

so Pops can get him to that expo, then I guess it's cool.

Ten's kind of early, man. I mean,

where's this expo at, Arizona?

Look, bro

this is my first chance in years

to spend time with my son as a free man.

Leroy, you two are gonna have

plenty of chances to get acquainted.

If things go well at that expo today,

you might be getting lunch with him

in a college cafeteria next year.

Hey, my friend T.C. is also going to the expo, too.

I bet he can swing by and pick us up wherever we're at.

There you go.

All right.

All right, but don't you be late.

All right, I won't. I promise.

I'll meet you there and I'll drive you back home.

I'm just gonna go get my stuff.

All right. I'll be out front.

All right.

I'll be seeing you around, Hondo.

Mr. Harrelson.

This Rhodium memorial's

got everyone's eyes on us, which means

we're gonna have to deal with more politics than usual.

High-profile event. I get it.

Good, 'cause Rhodium Spender's mother's coming here at 1:30,

and I need you and Hondo to do some hand-holding.

My plate's full.

We gotta do a final walk-through of the procession route,

but we should be back by then.

Look, there's a lot of people wondering

how the LAPD's gonna treat the family of someone

as hard on the police as Rhodium was.

Commander, you know that we're taking this as seriously

as we would any event of this scale. Yeah.

I know that, but not everyone does.

Millions of people are gonna be watching this on television.

Good. They'll see us at our best.

We do checks on any of these second-story locations?

Rocker's team's handling it.

All right, let's get confirmation.

Anybody on the route with higher than ground-floor

windows. I'm on it.

Street, there's still a lot of cars

in the no-parking areas.

Tows are coming tonight.

Think anybody would be stupid enough

to go after this memorial?

L.A. loves Rhodium. There's a lot of people

still pissed off about what she did on that show.

Can you blame 'em?

Giant screen on stage showing all the names and photos

of unarmed people killed by the police.

She could have at least had half the screen

showing the names of police officers

killed in the line of duty. Aw, come on, Deac, name a celebrity

who doesn't get on a soapbox now and then.

More like jumped on the bandwagon.

Not a word until the protests,

and then it's all about defund the police.

Maybe she wasn't saying defund the police before,

but she definitely spoke out against bad police shootings.

And she put her money where her mouth was.

Did a lot for the neighborhood after she made it.

Not to mention her music's awesome.

There's a reason the crowd's gonna be huge.

All right, guys, come on.

That's enough. Everybody's had their say.

Deacon, Chris, help me check the outer perimeter.

Tan, Street, check the exit routes.

So, dude, what's up with the TLI competition?

I didn't see the spark in your eye this morning

at the motor pool. Is this you talking more trash?

No, for real.

How come you're acting like you don't care

if you win or lose?

Well, I mean, losing TLI wouldn't be the worst thing

that ever happened to me.

Hondo, I found something.

Is that what I think it is?

They probably hid it here ahead of time

because they knew they couldn't get it past

the checkpoints tomorrow. Is this the only one?

It was so well hidden I almost missed it.

Could be more out there.

Last thing the city needs right now.

Yeah, well, it's not gonna happen on our watch.

Get some unis up here to help clear

the rest of the areas, then meet me back at HQ.
