S.W.A.T.

Previously on S.W.A.T.

Street came to see me today.

He wants to help out in the armory. Strictly volunteer.

Think he's trying to make amends.

You'd give me a chance at getting back on S.W.A.T?

I'm saying that I will get you in S.W.A.T academy.

How bad do you want it?

Devlin one, Street two.

I just want to say thanks, for making S.W.A.T a possibility.

You've always had my back.

Gracias, Tío.

Chrissy. I know you didn't get all dolled up for us.

You got a hot date tonight?

Yeah, sorry. I gotta eat and run.

Hey, Aunt Chrissy. Who's your date, boy or girl?

Thank God you're a part of this family, Chrissy.

Otherwise, we'd never have to explain uncomfortable things to our kids.

Didn't mean to say something bad.

No, you didn't, poquito .

My date this time is with a girl.

Her name is Kira, she's super cool

and she likes collecting vinyl records like me.

Have you kissed her yet?

Not yet. But maybe tonight.

And where did you meet this Kira?

Dating app.

Does anybody make connections in real life anymore?

- Like at work or church? - It's a brave new world, Uncle Sarzo.

That's what I'm afraid of.

I gotta go. Bye.

Bye.

- Bye. - Bye sweetie, be safe.

Yeah.

We have two silent alarms. The police will be here any second.

That's my wife, my girls.

2-11 in progress.

Suspect's vehicle heading northbound on Olive.

All units please respond.

This is S.W.A.T 20-David.

I'm off-duty, but I'm in the area. Responding now.

Hey! Hey. I'm Metro S.W.A.T.

Are you all right?

- My ribs. - All right. I got you, I got you.

Let's get you out of here. Come on.

I got you.

- God. - Yeah.

Your head. Here.

Here, take my shirt.

Keep pressure on your head.

This is 20-David to Command.

2-11 suspects headed westbound on Mateo.

Armed with an automatic weapon and high round capacity.

Hey, is a deal.

You don't have enough bad guys to chase when you're on duty?

Just happened to be five blocks away when the call went out.

I understand the suspects used a machine gun.

Almost chopped a patrol car in half.

Yeah. It messed up a uni, but, fortunately,

his car got the worst of it.

A city-wide alert went out on the getaway vehicle,

- but so far, nothing. - It's got to be the same crew

that hit the other diamond dealers last week.

M.O. matches. A four-man team.

They shut off the alarms, blow the doors,

and only steal uncut, untraceable diamonds.

- What's the haul on this one? - Four million dollars.

Robbery-Homicide puts their total haul at over 11.

These guys used C-4 shaped charges.

Sport body armor and carry a SAW machine gun.

There's no doubt this crew has military training.

S.W.A.T's taking over from Robbery-Homicide,

and when this crew makes their next move...

We need to be ahead of them.

- Hi. - Hey.

You look so good.

What?

Nothing, you just look really pretty.

I dig those earrings, too.

Gift to myself.

Moscow Mule, right?

That's my drink, but I'm actually on call,

so tonight I'm sticking with water.

Any crazy stories from this week?

I kicked in a few doors,

served some warrants, nothing too exciting.

Maybe not to you.

Here. Here is to date number three.

Okay, look.

Everything about you is amazing,

but we are at the point...

at least I think we are, where there's something

that I need to be honest with you about.

Are you really a bank robber on the run

that I'm gonna have to end up busting?

No. Nothing illegal...

but I do have a fiancé.

His name is Ty, we live together and we're very much in love.

- Does he even know you're here? - Of course.

We're honest with each other about everything.

It's been a while since a couple tried recruiting me for a threesome,

but I'm not into being a prop for other people's fantasies.

It's not like that. I mean, at least not

the one night fling kind of thing.

We're polyamorous.

Me and Ty. And we've been looking for a new woman, a new third,

- to complete us. - A new third?

What happened to the last one?

She was great,

but she took a job in D.C. too good to pass up.

That was six months ago. We're extremely picky.

You should take this as a compliment.

I'm sorry. I didn't post anything on my profile saying

that I was looking for this kind of stuff.

Your profile said you were bisexual.

- So? - What if you didn't have to choose?

What if you could have a life with a woman and a man?

This is way too complicated.

It's work.

They've got a situation. I have to go in.

Chris.

There's a connection between us. We both feel it.

Why don't you just meet Ty

and let us answer any questions you may have?

I have to go.

Chris. Just think about it.

What you're talking about...

It's not me.

I'm sorry.

Hey.

- Hey. - You know what that is?

Yeah, it's an LRAD.

- Yeah. - What happened to it?

It was a hostage situation.

Some, rookie backed over it with his squad car.

Well, we got zero money to fix it.

Yeah, these budget cuts are bogus,

but what separates S.W.A.T from all other LAPD,

we find ways to improvise.

- Luca. - Yeah.

The training exercise this morning.

What happened out there? With my score, I mean.

You fired a door-buster grenade at a suspect,

- so I docked you five points. - Yes.

But in that scenario, he had a gun to an infant's head.

I mean, even if they are just Cabbage Patch Dolls,

I used what I had available to take him out to save the infant.

- It was necessary. - Look, the LAPD S.W.A.T manual

clearly states

that a rifle-breaching grenade is only to be used on doors,

tempered glass and other inanimate objects.

- Never on a person's body. - Luca, come on.

- I already had it loaded. - Look, I don't care

what they taught you down in Long Beach, Street.

This is LAPD S.W.A.T.

I seem to recall you pulling the same stunt on a barricade call.

Just get that fixed and back into the Black Betty ASAP.

Those tech guys send over those cell monitors yet?

Yeah.

Right here. I checked them out, made sure they all worked,

- put fresh batteries. - Appreciate it.

Listen, I've been meaning to tell you.

You're doing good work in here.

I'm just trying to do my part.

And I wanted to thank you again.

For giving me a second chance.

Do me a favor and get that box into Black Betty, all right?

Hey, Hondo?

Why doesn't Luca want me back on the team?

Street, you got to remember, Luca's third generation S.W.A.T.

He's got a family legacy to protect.

He's always had a rep for being a tough evaluator.

Yeah, I mean, I've heard the horror stories

from Chris and Tan about how tough he was on them

through training, but, I mean, he's just making it his mission to find

the smallest excuses to make sure I fail.

Okay, so what are you thinking?

What? Because Luca is your buddy

and you let him crash on your couch for a few months,

he's gonna let you cruise through the academy?

- All I want is a fair shot. - Street, listen.

Me, Deacon, Chris, Tan, we see both sides.

Luca will never understand why you're willing

to risk getting kicked off the team.

Luca's worldview

has been beaten into him since he learned how to crawl.

Now, I'll talk to him, but in the meantime,

you show up, you play hard.

Kick some ass.

I will.

L.A.'s diamond district. Over a hundred licensed jewelers

moving tens of millions of dollars of rock every day.

This crew has only struck within these borders.

They've been careful to keep their exposure time limited

to under four minutes.

Typical response time for an LAPD chopper

to get on top of someone is five.

Right, so they choose parking garages close to their targets.

They ditch the getaway vehicles,

switch them out for ones in clean plates.

And then, it's two minutes in any direction
