S.W.A.T.

Back to our roots. Patrol day.

- Chasing calls. - Rolling in black and whites.

- Hitting the front lines. - Wearing polyester pants.

Happy patrol day.

You know the drill. Once a month...

We help out with crime suppression in high-volume areas.

- Keeps our street game sharp. - And our foodie game on point.

Just downloaded the food truck map.

Gonna make the rounds today.

Chicken and Waffle Wagon, Hot Ribs on Hot Wheels...

There's no way I'm eating that stuff.

While Hondo and Mumford's teams...

...are on patrol, Vandelli's team will be...

...taking point on all SWAT calls if anything pops up.

You have your assignments.

Street and Tan, Olympic division.

Rash of daytime robberies this week.

Got a description of the thief.

Chris, you're with Mumford.

Van Nuys division. Standard patrol.

- Where is Hondo? - He needed a personal day.

- You and Luca... - We got...

- ...Mid-City Wilshire division. - Have been reassigned.

You're with me, here at HQ.

There are some at-risk kids visiting today,...

...part of our new community outreach.

These kids are at-risk how?

Serious behavioral problems at school.

They're all in danger of being expelled.

So we reach out to them now, we don't have to lock 'em up later.

That's the idea. Thanks, everyone, be safe.

Don't worry, Luca, we'll hit that Chicken and Waffle Wagon for you.

I don't get it.

Mumford requested me as his patrol partner? Why?

Come on, now, Chris, he's losing Sanderson.

My guess, you little hotshot, is he's poaching you.

Please, no. Look, the higher-ups want some diversity on his team.

I guess we've been making 'em look a little too white and male.

So he wants me to fill a quota?

It's the same old, same old, Chris, you know what it is.

Just be you.

What do you think his pitch is gonna be?

Honestly, I have no idea, but, man, I would love to hear it.

It's gonna be sweet turning him down.

Okay, hey, don't go having too much fun with that.

I'll try not to, boss.

I'll drive. Take-charge attitude. I like that, Alonso.

So sweet.

- Looking good, Brianna. - Don't try to butter me up.

You were supposed to have been here yesterday.

Okay, slow down, I had a hostage situation that made me miss my flight.

- Likely story. - Can you stop your fussing...

...and just give your brother a hug?

- Good to see you. - It's really good to see you.

Thanks for holding down Oakland for me.

You're welcome.

And if you want to be a real hero, help me get Dad moved to L.A.

Come on.

How's your job at the Getty?

Good. I'm curating an installation. Interpretive media piece.

- Lot of lights. - Nice.

Brie, what the hell is all of this?

I thought the deal was you pack up Pops,...

...and then I fly up here to help you...

...move him to L.A. to live with you.

Some deal. He told me this morning he changed his mind.

- So what did I fly up here for? - Hondo,...

...he can't live on his own anymore.

- He's getting worse. - I just talked...

...to the man a week ago. He's the same as always.

You do know what MG is, right?

He's got muscle weakness, blurred vision,...

...sometimes it's hard for him to breathe.

And he's been living with it for over a year, and he's been fine.

Brie, he's a grown-ass man.

If he doesn't want to move, why you trying to force him?

His doctor says he needs full attention.

He certainly can't be walking up and down these stairs every day.

Okay, what about your mom? Is there any chance of them...

- ...getting back together? - No. She's done.

Got herself a new man.

For real? What's his name? Karma?

You funny.

Still talking about Pops leaving your mom for mine.

I'm just saying. My mom's been predicting this day.

For 30 years. Yeah, I know.

The old man still has his wall of fame.

You know, my dad, he introduced me to jazz.

Gil Scott-Heron.

He taught me how to make Louisiana gumbo right there.

Taught you how to cook, gave me the art bug.

I'm worried about him.

See for yourself.

One of us needs to talk him into moving to L.A.,...

...and I am all out of arguments.

Hey.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to dump it all on you. It's gonna be okay.

- Where is he? - Where else?

The ROMEO Club.

Can I borrow your car?

My backup's been on my left ankle since I was boot.

Most cops carry their clutch piece at the waistband.

But whatever works for you, you know?

I'm open to new ideas, new approaches.

Good to know.

How's things on Team Hondo?

No complaints.

- Treats me well. - All units, we have shots fired...

...in the 1300 block of Victory Boulevard.

50-David to Control, show us responding to shots fired.

Help me!

Please help me!

It's all right, I got you.

He tried to kill me. All of us, and then he just ran off.

Anybody else in there?

My patient, he shot him!

Easy, easy.

- What's your name? - Dr. Korva Green.

Let me see.

50-David, making entry to the building.

Looks like a flesh wound.

24-David, we're Code 6 at a shooting call.

I need an R.A. for a female.

I got a 187 in Office 230.

Send backup to clear the rest of the building.

He pointed the gun right at me, but it didn't fire.

He said he was going to get another one.

- Another gun? - D.O.A. inside.

In our sessions, he never talked about guns.

And the shooter was a patient of yours?

- Yeah. - Hey, it's okay. You got this. Hey.

Hey. Breathe. Breathe.

- What was his name? - Zack Calnick.

He was in a court-ordered intervention program...

...as part of his probation.

Last week he wanted to talk about a new girlfriend.

- Did you get her name? - No.

His sessions were over, I had to wait-list him.

I'll call in a BOLO.

You did good, real good. These guys will take...

...good care of you and take you to the hospital, okay?

Guy kills a patient, tries to kill his shrink,...

...says he's gonna get another gun?

Doesn't sound like the end of trouble.

Sounds like the start of it.

You sold me a piece of crap.

Jammed after a couple rounds.

Zack, man, easy.

I'm fixing it, okay? This is custom work.

Here, try that.

Wait.

How about I give you this bump stock?

Half price.

400 to 800 rounds per minute, you'll never miss a target.

Range is hot.

I'll take it.

Zack Calnick, 27, forklift driver.

Five jobs in three years.

Charged with battery, aggravated mayhem in the workplace,...

- ...couple of restraining orders. - Real winner.

Anything on that mystery girlfriend?

Nothing yet.

You were good with that shrink.

Some cops not so good at those interpersonal things.

Skills like yours big asset on the job.

- Thanks. - Any available unit,...

...we have a possible sighting of 187 suspect Zack Calnick.

29 La Tuna Road.

Right around the corner. 50-David responding.

I got it.

Civilian down.

24-David to Control, we have a 187.

Roll Homicide to this location. No sign of the suspect.

- Bootleg gun shop? - Ghost guns.

No serial numbers. Untraceable.

Perfect for anybody with a record and on probation.

I think Zack took more than that.

A bump stock's gone.

Zack tries to kill his shrink, takes out a patient and a gun dealer.

And now we got a spree killer with a machine gun.

15.

- See, see, see? See? - What you gonna do with that, Yule?

Mess with it, man, but, you know...

Look out, boys, young blood Hondo's here...

- ...to serve justice. - What's going on, Oz?

- Tell me about it. - You know I was a Black Panther?

Yes, I do.

And with much respect.

Big Yule, what's the good word, sir?

The struggle is real, young brother.

Never thought that Daniel's boy would grow up to be a po-po.

Not just a po-po, my boy is SWAT.

- Excuse me. - SWAT.

Good to see you, Pop.

All right, delinquents, make room.

Don't shoot, Hondo, my hands is up.

Every time y'all get together, throwing bones,...

...you start thinking you're some comedians.

Easy.

Hey, Pop.
