S.W.A.T.

The hell?

- Hey! - Hey!

Everybody be cool. Be cool.

I'll take those, thank you.

Come on.

- Time? - We're good.

Let's go, let's go.

All right, last bags.

Let's go.

Mind if I work in?

Hey.

Sure. Go for it.

Take off the tens.

All right.

Okay, when in the hell did you start...

...giving a damn about getting healthy, Craig?

My daughter's on me lately.

Okay? 6:00 a.m. every morning, if I'm not up, she gets me up.

Shoves a smoothie in my hand, kicks me out the door.

But hey, I've lost five pounds already, Hondo.

All right? Another few months,...

...these abs are gonna put yours to shame,...

- ...my friend. - Okay, keep hope alive, Craig.

Yeah, right.

- I like the outfit. - Shut up.

Well, you got to be taking it pretty seriously if you're willing...

...to fork over the cash to join this place.

Free introductory month, my friend.

I got four days left, then I cancel. Doesn't cost me a dime.

See, that is the Craig I know and love.

All right, so talk to me. Your text.

You got something for me. Well, this may come as a surprise,...

...not every payday loan shop is on the up and up like mine is.

- Shocking. - It's a good thing you hit me up.

I asked around.

One of my competitors, Dale's Check Cashing in Inglewood,...

...he's cleaning money for some big time players.

Let me guess, the owner's name is Dale?

And you think these big time players...

...are the crew robbing these armored trucks?

Could be.

You know, let's take off the 25s, too.

So, Hondo,...

...what I hear is it's not just SWAT going after these guys.

I hear it's federal, like, a task force kind of thing.

This is just you and me talking. That's all you need to know.

Yeah, okay, and I appreciate it.

You know, a couple hundred every so often, it really helps out.

All right, let's not forget me letting you slide...

...on that laundering charge back in the day.

Hey, it's been a beautiful friendship...

...and I owe you big time, okay?

But the Feds, they got deep pockets, Hondo.

You know, they're paying some of their CIs a hundred grand a pop.

Are you hard up or something right now?

Single parent life ain't easy, Hondo.

My daughter's got to go to college.

I got to pay someone to look after my mom now.

She can't be left alone.

All right, all right. I'll do what I can.

Thanks. Just tell them I'm working on another lead.

It might be nothing,...

- ...but it might be major. - Craig,...

...the information you just gave me today is enough.

- Don't push it. - All right. Okay.

You want me to just take the rest of the plates off?

I think I'll just work the bar.

That was a tough run this morning.

And all those push-ups, I bet you're all pretty spent.

All right, it's a minimum 80 sit-ups, five pull-ups.

Nobody's gonna blame you if you stop there.

How many sit-ups you do in your first PFQ?

370.

Think she'll do more?

I don't think any of them will do more.

She gonna make SWAT?

I haven't even met her. Why are you so curious?

I just thought you'd be interested in the women you helped pave the way for.

There are no paved roads to SWAT.

Everyone's got to blaze their own trail.

Don't look now, but someone wants your autograph.

- Officer Alonso. - Chris.

Jim.

Erika Rogers.

I'd shake your hands, but I'm pretty disgusting right now.

I just wanted to say...

- ...it's an honor to meet you. - Thanks.

Hey, I wanted to ask you a favor.

Maybe the next time you're headed to the range,...

...I could tag along.

You could give me some pointers on non-dominant hand shooting.

I'm an ace with my right,...

...but if I'm gonna make SWAT, I need to make sure the left is in shape.

You just have to spend more time in the range...

...and just listen to your instructors.

I don't really do personal training sessions.

- Okay. - Good luck.

You know Agent DuBois with the FBI.

For the last week, we've been liaising...

...with her special task force.

Now it's time for SWAT to officially join in.

It's the armored car robberies, isn't it?

It's got to be. They're trucks, not cars.

- No, they're called armored cars. - They're trucks.

- How is this even a conversation? - What, says you.

I've heard more sophisticated arguments from my six-year-old.

All right, guys, you can call them whatever you want...

...but right now let's focus on getting the guys who rob them.

So, we've been calling them the Pit Crew.

That's how quick and coordinated these robberies are.

EMPs to stop the truck.

- Trucks. - In and out.

They have killed more than a few guards.

Robbed three armored trucks in Dallas, three in Phoenix,...

...and now they've taken down two here.

Which means we got to catch them before they get...

...the last truck and head off to who knows where.

Had a hunch they were laundering their money locally, so I spoke...

...to an old CI of mine a week ago after the first robbery.

He just got back to me this morning with an actual lead.

Agent DuBois?

Right, sorry.

Given the time pressure, we have to take down...

...this money launderer today.

See if he'll flip on the robbers.

Yes. My people will meet you at the location.

Hondo and myself will coordinate the teams.

That's our cue.

Long hours?

Sorry about that.

I've been chasing these guys through three states, you know?

All right, it's called Dale's Check Cashing,...

...but Dale Hansen doesn't even technically own it.

He's got too many felonies on his record to get the licenses.

Wait, don't tell me he used his mom's name.

His aunt. Mom's got a thicker jacket than Dale does.

Payday loan places always dicey.

It's a perfect setup for cleaning dirty money.

Only banks check serial numbers, and people that have bank accounts...

...don't go to check-cashing joints.

And once the money hits the bank, it's passed through...

...so many hands it can't be traced back to the origin.

Now, it's not the first time Dale's has been raided.

- And he still kept his license? - Witnesses all backed out.

DA says Dale probably got to them.

Right, so he's gonna be on alert.

Yeah, well, it's a good thing the Pit Crew...

...isn't the only team in town that moves fast.

- Fill the gaps. - Stay liquid!

Are you serious?

You guys took time out of your day to plan that?

- Hey, Dale... - Sorry.

Need a little radio silence.

LAPD SWAT. On the ground.

On the ground! SWAT.

- Nobody move! - Locked.

Luca.

- On the ground, now! - Cops!

- Suspect shallow. - Eyes on.

Give me two!

- Hondo, left! - Left side clear! Keep down!

On the ground now!

- Okay, okay! - Give me your hands!

Hands! Give me your left hand!

Hands behind your back.

- Put your hands up! LAPD! - Luca!

- Left side clear! - Deac!

I was trying to figure out what to charge you with first, Dale.

Destroying money's a federal crime. Did you know that?

And we haven't even gotten into money laundering.

A lot of that cash in there is from yesterday's armored truck robbery.

Serial numbers will prove it.

So do you want to tell us what you know about the crew who did it?

I want my attorney.

Amber Frost. Number's in my phone.

Wait, isn't that the woman...

She did adult films to pay for her law degree.

She used to run those wild commercials on late-night TV.

Now, should be one hell of a defense she puts on.

Yeah?

This is Hondo.

What?

You came up as his handler

...when we put his info in the computer.

We haven't informed the family yet.

This him?

Yeah.

Yeah, that's Craig.

I was supposed to leave for class at 12:30,...

...and he wasn't here to take care of Grandma.

Not answering his phone.

I knew something happened.

I forgot to get you your blueberry pie.

- Ma'am? - I'll be back in a jiffy.

Lana, sweetheart, you want a piece?

- No, Grandma. - No?

Dementia.

She has no idea you just told her that her son is dead.

That must be hard.

It's gonna be even harder trying to take care of her alone.
