Preivously on SWAT...
I gave up a baby for adoption when I was 15.
He turned 18 a few months ago.
You thinking he might try to reach out
now that he's got access to the adoption records?
I told Annie your situation and she reached out to
a lawyer friend of hers who deals with adoptions.
Your son filed the paperwork.
- He'd be open to hearing from you. - He would?
A few weeks ago you said you needed to talk.
I don't suppose it had anything to do with retirement?
What's going on, Deac?
Me and Annie, we're, uh, we're not doing so good.
Family's paramount. I respect your decision.
I made this decision before Luca got shot
and now, I-I don't know what to do.
I'd prefer to keep this between us.
You doing okay, babe?
This group was the core for so long.
It's hard to get over the change.
I mean, Street's been gone for weeks.
I still catch myself looking for his motorcycle
in the parking lot.
Now Luca's gone.
And if Deacon's gonna be retiring, too,
- it's the end of an era. - What are you talking about?
Deac is not retiring.
Oh. When Annie and I were at lunch yesterday,
she said something about him
giving notice. I just assumed he...
No, baby, he'd be giving it to me,
and he hasn't done that.
Well, I must've misunderstood.
Sorry for the scare, babe.
Have a good day.
You too.
Pancake special, side of sausage.
Can I get you more coffee?
Oh, please.
Maybe it'll get me out of this crossword rut.
Hey, guys. You want the usual?
No time this morning, Kat.
You need to come with us. Now.
Jeb, I'm in the middle of my shift.
You want me to lose my job?
Forget this job, this diner.
None of it'll matter soon.
What? Wait, you're scaring me.
Look, I'll explain later. There's no time to waste,
- we need to go. - What? Stop.
Sheriff's department. Is there a problem here?
No, we're just having a conversation.
No, we're not, Jeb. Now, let go of me.
Hey, you heard her. Let her go.
Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Back up. Back up. Back up.
Hey, easy, now. You don't need to do this.
All right? Let's talk this out.
There's nothing to talk about.
No, I need to keep Kat safe.
She's coming with us.
Okay, I understand that.
Hey,
- step away from the door. - Back up!
Let her go. Drop the weapon.
Can't do that, man. You don't get it.
Listen to me, you need to let her go,
- now. - I can't.
Morning. Alfaro's with us today.
Aw, Deac, I thought we all agreed
20-Squad has standards.
Sorry, just texting with Thomas.
Thomas?
As in your son?
I reached out after you got his info.
We've been emailing, and now we're making plans
for dinner tonight.
So, this is the first time you're gonna see him in person?
That's a big step.
"Can't wait to see you."
Is throwing in an emoji fun or lame?
Ah, depends on what you use.
Kidding. I'm excited for you.
So, tonight? It's been a long time coming.
Not gonna lie... I'm freaking out.
You might want to put that freak-out on hold.
We've got an armed standoff at a diner in Topanga.
Let's roll.
Some of the blinds are pulled,
so it's tough to tell how many civilians are in there.
There's an open window on the two-side,
but no one's been visible through it.
We know how many suspects?
The fry cook slipped out the back when the shooting started.
Said two brothers came in,
tried to abduct the waitress, who was working.
Jeb and Grant Weber. No priors.
- The fry cook ID'd them? - Yeah, they're regulars.
I guess Jeb and Kat dated for a bit.
Today, he wanted her to leave with him, she refused.
Sounds like Jeb couldn't take no for an answer.
What set off the gunfire?
Off-duty sheriff's deputy was having breakfast.
Must have tried to intervene.
Brian Hagen. He's not answering his phone.
So, he could be injured.
All right, Powell, Alfaro, you sit on the two-side.
Cook came out the kitchen door...
Tan, Deacon... we go in that way. Let's move.
Keep your mouth shut.
Eyes on Grant Weber. He's got a hostage.
No sign of the brother or the waitress.
This is LAPD.
Grant and Jeb Weber, there's no way out of here.
You need to put your weapons down.
We were only trying to protect Kat,
get her somewhere safe.
Deputy Hagen.
You doing all right over there? Are you hit?
Bastard got me in the leg. Losing blood pretty quick.
Got four civilians in here.
Second suspect took the waitress into the back.
- Understood. - Come on now, Grant.
You say you didn't want this.
How about you let these people leave, huh?
Those three can go.
This one stays.
Okay, good. Good. That's a start.
All right. Hey, you three.
Come one, let's go. Nice and easy, out the front door.
No, no, I said the front door.
Lost eyes on the suspect.
- Rabbit! - Hey, clear out! Move! Move!
Suspect breaking for the three-two corner.
Moving in.
LAPD! Drop the gun.
Drop it now.
All right.
Give me your hands.
Bathroom's clear, main room's clear.
20-David, Code 4.
Grant Weber's in custody.
No sign of Jeb Weber or the waitress.
They're not in the building.
Powell.
If Jeb got back here fast enough,
he could have gotten out of this window
with the waitress before we arrived.
He's in the wind with a hostage.
Deputy Hagen is stable.
He's gonna pull through fine.
Any idea where Jeb might have taken the waitress?
Grant Weber's refusing to talk,
but we just got a hit on the BOLO for Jeb's Jeep.
A traffic cam caught it running a red light in West Hills.
Jeb and Kat Beeman were both inside.
Yeah, Jeb's home is clear across the Valley,
but Jeb and Grant's father Calvin
has a place in Las Virgenes Canyon.
That's not far off from where the Jeep was spotted. It's isolated.
- Good spot to run to. - All right.
I'll tell Hondo. Let's get ready to roll.
30 out, turning onto Calvin Weber's private drive.
All right, listen up. Jeb and Grant
weren't packing heavy heat, but that's no reason
- for us to get sloppy. - Jeb grabbed Kat with some
twisted romantic intentions.
Now, he might have feelings for her, but...
We all know how dark things can get
if she doesn't return the favor.
Whoa.
Place is some kind of fortress.
All right, everybody out.
Alfaro, get a look from up top.
Single-story residence, 100 yards in.
Jeb's Jeep's parked out front. They got to be here.
Calvin Weber. This is the LAPD.
We're looking for your son Jeb.
He's got himself into some trouble.
You're trespassing on private property.
You need to leave.
I'm afraid that's not gonna happen.
We need Jeb to release Kat to us safely
and to surrender himself.
Otherwise, we're coming in after him.
You do, you'll die trying.
So, easy way's a no-go.
Maybe we can climb the fence.
No, wait a minute.
Electric fence,
and that's not low voltage.
Cameras, the fence, the barbed wire.
If the outside is this nasty,
there's bound to be more surprises inside.
Yeah, well, fortress or not, they got a hostage in there.
We're not leaving without her.
Synced & corrected by -robtor- www.addic7ed.com
Could you please give us something, anything?
- We'll take anything. - Tammy, you know the drill.
- You got to give me a minute. - I just need something.
Patrol's gonna keep the press back.
You got pole cameras trained on the property?
Yes, sir, but nobody stepped foot outside of that house,
so we don't know Kat Beeman's status.
I sent Tan and Alfaro to scout the perimeter,
see if there's a weak spot we can exploit.
All right, good.
Been checking Calvin's financials.
Looks like he started stockpiling medical supplies
and ammo a couple years ago when his wife died.
He also went off the grid. He got solar panels, a generator.
That means we can't cut their power.
This guy takes "self-sufficient" to new heights.
Yeah, well, this might be why.
He belongs to a bunch of doomsday prepper forums.
They believe the government's about to fall,
and when it does, supply chain
- and the power grid will follow. - Then food
and clean water become scarce, and suddenly it's anarchy.
Preppers have been sounding that same alarm for decades.
- This is hardly new. - Yeah, but here's the kicker.
He and his online buddies... they've been tracking the news.
A recent spike in crypto, death of a state official
and a dozen other random events...
they believe that that means society collapses today.
Come on, now.
Every other Tuesday, one of these groups decides
that there's a reason that the world is over.
What has any of this got to do with Jeb abducting Kat?
Grant Weber told us that Jeb was protecting Kat,
that he genuinely cares for her
and thinks he's saving her from rioters and looters.
Well, as pure as their motives may be,
a deputy was shot
and Jeb brought Kat here against her will.
We need to get her out.
Has Calvin been in communication since his initial warning?
No. The family's been stonewalling us,
ignoring phone calls, the intercom.
It's time to force the issue.
Put the Lemur drone to use.
Kat, I already told you,
- okay? My dad has everything. - Stop.
This is the safest place to be
- when the fighting breaks out. - You can keep saying that.
It still doesn't make any sense.
This is nuts.
What is going on?
You can't keep me here.
I want to go, right now.
Enough with the attitude.
Jeb,
you left your brother behind.
This girl was not part of the plan.
Okay, I had to save her, Dad.
- Are you okay? - St-Stop.
And-and Adam gets to be here.
Your sister and her boyfriend didn't bring
the damn cops to our door.
Maybe if we send her out,
the police will go away, leave us alone.
Don't be stupid. Jeb kidnapped her.
Cops aren't just gonna walk away.
We're not opening the gates for anyone, period.
When panic starts in the city,
the police will leave to deal with it.
But, they push us...
...we'll be ready.
There are cameras all over this fence.
Anything we do, they'll see us coming. Should we take 'em out?
No, if we do, they might think we're making a move. They could panic.
We got to leave them in place for now,
let 'em think they're in control.
Look. That one's not rotating.
Means there's a blind spot.
How about over there? Do you see anything over there?
Okay.
Or the window.
LAPD. I need to see your hands.
What is SWAT doing here?
Your hands.
You can see we're journalists.
You don't need to point a gun at us.
They're legit. John Doherty and Olivia Navarro.
You can't be here.
This is an active police operation.
Wasn't when we got here.
You got here before us? How?
Guess we got a jump on the boys in blue.
Not the first time.
Do you even know what you're up against?
I've been researching these people for weeks.
Calvin Weber and his family are doomsday preppers.
We're well aware of who Weber is.
Wait, you're doing a story on them?
They're convinced the world ends today.
I had to come out and see what they'd get up to.
You're gonna have to do that from behind the barricades.
It's not safe out here.
This is a picnic. I spent the last three years
as a war correspondent in the Middle East.
Was in Gaza until I caught some shrapnel.
Came home to recuperate. I think I'm good.
Well, you got a funny idea of what healing looks like.
Look, you can't stay out here.
We got to get you both back to camp. Come on.
Don't see anyone on the grounds.
Initiating IR view.
Seven people. That's more than we knew about.
Calvin and Jeb Weber, plus Kat.
Leaves four unknowns.
Well, they could be more believers in doomsday,
could be more hostages.
The only way to find out is to get inside.
Do it.
Deploying glass breaker.
Dad?
It's some kind of drone. It's in the house.
- Get her out of here. - Come on.
All right, that's Jeb and Kat.
Least we know she's all right.
I warned you to stay away.
We're down. Initiating turtle maneuver.
And open upcomms.
Calvin, this is Commander Robert Hicks,
LAPD SWAT.
We want to make sure everybody's okay in there.
Oh, we're all safe. And if you knew half
of what's coming,
you'd beg me to let you in here, too.
Let's not worry about the rest of the world right now.
How about you let Kat Beeman leave? Can you do that?
That's Beth Weber, his daughter.
I want Grant free.
You give me back my son, then we can talk.
You know I can't do that, Calvin.
Lemur's dead.
Well, the guy who shot it isn't a Weber.
Find out who he is.
What's the latest?
Running facial rec
on an unknown male inside the house.
That's probably Thomas.
Tell me he didn't cancel on your dinner plans tonight.
No, it's... He just posted something to his socials.
Oh, light cyberstalking. Nice.
I looked him up a while back, trying to figure out what he's like.
He plays guitar. That's cool.
He's in a band. He posts videos of their gigs.
They aren't half bad.
It's weird.
For 18 years, I've imagined Thomas.
Now those expectations are meeting reality.
Not liking what you find?
Just the opposite.
He's got good friends,
loves his adoptive parents.
He's blown every dream I dared to have for him
straight out of the water.
I'm not seeing the problem.
What if he meets me and...
I fall short of what he imagined?
We got a hit on the guy that killed our drone.
Adam Edwards. Did time for assault and battery.
Looks like he's dating Beth Weber.
Wait. There's a BOLO out on him.
He's suspected of shooting his ex-wife this morning.
He disappeared with their two children.
Logan and Erin Edwards
are likely the last two people inside that house.
We've got little kids in there.
- Hey, Deac. - Yeah.
Listen, I know this isn't the best time, but...
something's been bugging me all morning.
Annie told Nichelle you're retiring.
So, it wasn't a misunderstanding.
You're leaving SWAT.
It's-it's complicated, it's...
it's something that Annie and I talked about
before Luca got shot.
So this is something you've been thinking about for a while.
Yeah.
Look, I know... this is all bad timing.
But I wanted to honor my promise to Annie.
And then, with the uncertainty of Luca's recovery,
I put off saying something.
Deacon, we are family.
I didn't want to burden you
with losing another team member.
God, and I hate thinking that I've created
another problem for you to have to solve.
Are you staying?
Then it's something I still got to deal with.
Powell ID'd the drone shooter. Name's Adam Edwards.
Looks like he shot his ex-wife this morning,
abducted their two small children.
- They're likely inside. - We can't wait
for the Webers to see doomsday isn't coming.
Situation's only likely to get more volatile.
Yeah, then we got to get in there, and pull those hostages out now.
When Alfaro and I were on the perimeter,
we found a section of Calvin's fence
with a faulty camera. He's got a blind spot.
We could use the laser cutters to breach the fence,
but the minute we do, the circuit will be cut
and they'll know we're coming.
Not if we're smart.
There. Now we can cut the fence without breaking the circuit.
Calvin will have no idea.
Alfaro, you're up.
Now, the fence will still have a charge,
so watch yourself going through it.
Family hasn't left the main house, so we take the low ground.
Tan, you're with me.
Alfaro and Powell, you're with Deacon.
Done.
All right, let's go.
What does a T. rex do?
The T. rex eats everybody!
- Roar! - Roar!
You know, in my day,
children were seen, not heard.
Doors and windows all have sensors.
What about the kitchen door where the drone went through?
Pop the board out, we can slip in through there.
Got suspects on the three-side.
Copy. We'll draw them to the one.
This is LAPD!
Calvin and Jeb Weber,
Adam Edwards, we got warrants for your arrest.
W-Why didn't the fence alarm go off?
Get to positions.
Get them down to safety.
All right, let me get this from you, sweetie.
Suspect in the five opening.
We got three suspects on the one-side.
- Deacon, make your move. - Roger that.
Moving to the kitchen now.
- Tan, cover me. - Go!
Powell.
Beth?
Beth, I need my bag.
I'm not going anywhere with you.
I'm trying to keep you safe.
Are you kidding me?
There's nothing safe about this, so let me go.
Fine. Go ahead.
Get shot.
Where's your brother?
30-David.
Making entry on the three-side.
Hey. It's Logan, right?
Yeah.
I'm a police officer.
I'm gonna get you back to your mom.
What about my sister?
Well, we'll get her, too, but you first.
- Okay? Powell. - Okay.
Get him out of here. Go ahead.
I got you. Come on.
Moving!
Aah!
LAPD.
Hondo, we've got Logan and Kat.
Logan? Where are you?
Hey, Erin? Sweetie? Come on.
It's okay. Come on.
Come on.
Alfaro, get Kat out of here.
I'm right behind you.
You sure?
Go. Go.
Aah!
Winged one of the suspects.
How dare you come into my home?
You put the kid down.
Call it off.
Call it off now.
Powell, hold up.
Calvin Weber?
That's right. And I have your man.
If you value his life you'll
get off my property.
Deacon!
I'm here, Hondo. These guys are serious.
Calvin Weber. Respond. I know you're there.
I said what would happen if you come on my land.
I'm a man of my word.
And are you a man of integrity?
Can I count on you to treat Sergeant Kay with respect?
I want your word that Sergeant Kay won't be harmed.
If you behave.
But if any police come near my family again,
your sergeant will pay the price.
They got supplies to last months.
Sir, they're not gonna give him back.
- We got to go get him. - Calvin's on high alert.
I'm not risking Deacon's safety on a half-cocked rescue plan.
Deacon shouldn't have been
alone in there. We left him.
He told you to get the hostages out. You did your job.
But right now we got to find out where in the house
- they're holding him. - Well, Kat mentioned that the Webers
wanted to move her. Thet they took the kids down to safety.
Down where? The house doesn't have a basement.
Maybe not a basement, but a prepper like Calvin...
is it crazy to think he's got a bunker?
The Webers definitely give off fallout shelter vibes.
Here. Calvin posted in the forum
about planning to build a bunker.
That was almost a year ago.
Find out if he followed through.
Quit sulking.
If that girl couldn't see it was better to stick with us,
she wasn't worth much.
She was about to see it.
Now she's gone.
Erin's upset.
She wants to know about her mom and Logan.
Well, tell her her mom's not here.
And it's your fault Logan's gone.
He ran off, I'm sorry. I didn't have any ti...
Excuse me.
Can I have some water,
please?
Beth, handle it.
Jeb, come help me with the kitchen window.
Thanks, Beth.
I'm David.
You know, I've got a family, too.
Four little kids and a wife
I'm really hoping I get to see at home tonight.
No one cares.
Well, I can understand why you feel that way,
given how you treated your ex-wife today.
- Wait, what-what happened with Marissa? - What, he didn't tell you?
Adam shot her.
- What? - Yeah, she's in surgery right now.
- She's fighting for her life. - You're just here as insurance.
We don't have to listen to you talk.
- You said getting the kids went fine. - Yeah,
- and I got 'em here, didn't I? - What is he talking about?
Dad?
Watch him.
Checked with a neighbor. He said he saw several
concrete trucks roll up here eight months ago.
Figured Calvin was putting in a pool.
Yeah, but Calvin has no pool, so he did build a bunker.
There's no way to know the layout
or even where it is on the property.
Yeah, but we've had eyes on the house the whole time,
and no one's left,
so the entrance has to be inside.
The problem is we can't get in to find out.
And Calvin could retaliate on Deacon
if SWAT gets too close.
We've been here all day. We've been here all day.
I think I might have an idea about that.
What the hell is going on?
I haven't put a toe outside your safe zone.
A reporter?
This is your plan?
Olivia Navarro.
She's writing an article about preppers
and she's been in contact with Calvin Weber.
I never said that.
Her coverage of a suicide bomber attack in Kabul
earned her the nickname Wolfhound.
There's a Wolfhound 1988 active
in the same doomsday forum as Calvin.
They've been in contact a few times.
Doesn't make you Einstein. And yes, I used the forum
to arrange a phone interview with Calvin a few weeks ago.
I was gonna try to interview him in person today.
Wanted to see his reaction when the world didn't end.
Why am I here?
Well, that's a good question.
If she can get Calvin to agree to an interview,
Alfaro and I could go in posing
- as journalists. She can vouch for us. - Absolutely not.
If you're going in, I'm going with you.
You're a civilian. It's not happening.
Look, Calvin Weber already knows me.
Plus, I've been in far worse situations.
Got plenty of scars to prove it.
Sir, Tan could pose as her cameraman.
They've already seen him in a SWAT uniform.
I was the farthest away.
If I swap clothes with Olivia's cameraman,
they'll never connect me to LAPD.
It could get us the opportunity
to look for the bunker's entrance without ruffling Calvin's feathers.
But if he gets suspicious, we're handing him two more hostages.
Calvin was in contact with me
weeks before you guys showed up here.
He's primed to trust me.
And you heard him railing at you.
He wants a platform to say his piece.
We can use that against him.
Commander, we got to do something.
We can't leave Deacon in there
one second more than we have to.
Make the call. He agrees,
you're both wearing flak jackets. First sign of trouble,
you're out.
Once we're in, I need an opening
to look for the bunker door. Try and keep him talking.
No problem. When I talked to him,
Calvin was champing as the bit to explain the truth.
This is what I do. Watch and learn.
Mr. Weber, it's great to finally meet you in person.
I'm Olivia. This is my cameraman.
We're excited for the opportunity
to get your side of the story.
It's about time the world wakes up
and listens to the truth.
Yo, ho, stop.
What are you doing?
Looking for a place to get set up.
We need good light.
Here, how about you sit and I'll mic you up?
What are you doing?
It's not right that your father and Adam
treat you like you're second class.
- They don't. - Look at how they snap at you
when things get out of control.
I don't want you to end up like Adam's ex-wife,
taking a bullet because he gets mad at you.
He's not like that with me.
We're different. He respects me.
Beth, come on. I saw the bruise on your arm.
Adam is not a good guy.
Best spot is in here.
Great. Then let's get started.
Calvin,
walk me through this. You've obviously
made some pretty extreme doomsday preparations here.
Extreme. You call it extreme.
You wouldn't call having
an earthquake kit nutty, would you?
I suppose not.
We've all seen how people behave in a shortage...
hoarding food, medicine, toilet paper.
In a real emergency,
multiply that panic tenfold.
Erin will not stop crying.
If your dad comes back and she's still melting down,
- he's not gonna like it. - She's scared and upset.
My dad'll have to cut the poor kid some slack.
Are you seriously questioning me right now?
So you think the authorities aren't ready for this?
When your neighbor's kids start to go hungry,
he's gonna come take your food without thinking twice
if you can't defend what's yours.
Violence is a foregone conclusion.
When there's no clean water or power
or food on the shelves...
anarchy reigns.
It's human nature to take,
and only the strongest will survive.
No, I didn't mean it like that. I was just...
- Adam, knock it off. - Shut it.
Your dad and I are trying
to protect you and your dumb brother.
- Don't you understand that? - No,
I-I do, Adam, I-I swear. I just...
What if you're wrong about it all?
Oh!
So let me ask you,
how long are you and your family prepared to...
Get out of my house. Get out.
All right, all right. Olivia, let's go.
Mm-hmm.
Move! Get out of my house!
- Yep, we're going. - We're going. Okay.
Those were gunshots. Your sergeant.
Yeah, we need to get back to mobile command.
Tan radioed. He's on his way back with the reporter.
We're still picking up audio from Calvin's mic.
What the hell happened?
The cop got up and rushed me.
Yeah, well, someone had to stop you from attacking Beth.
- That was Deacon. - If I hadn't held him,
things could have gone sideways.
The cop's a problem. Let me solve him.
Enough! Beth,
get-get this mic off of me.
- Deacon's okay. - Uh, for the moment.
You're fine.
Get the girl someplace where she's not underfoot, huh?
I'll send Adam down to watch the cop.
That the interview footage?
Yeah. When Calvin opened the bunker, I pointed the camera
at a mirror, hoping I caught something useful.
There. The bunker door.
Those locking rods are standard size.
Four well-placed charges will get us through the door.
Yeah, but the problem is Calvin's security system's
still operational. He'll see us coming
before we can get inside.
And he'll take it out on Deacon.
If only we could shut down the cameras.
Calvin bragged about his power setup
in our early conversations.
I still have all of our exchanges saved in my research file.
Uh, we need to see them now.
Are you all right?
When we're up against it, usually I look to Deacon.
He's my right hand.
We're gonna get him back, Hondo.
You find a way to deactivate the cameras?
No.
In Calvin's initial messages with Olivia,
he describes his power configuration.
Both the solar and generator circuits
are wired through a fuse box in the bunker itself.
So we can't get to it.
Hang on. We can't.
But Deacon can. He's already in the bunker.
If he kills the fuse box, the security system
will shut down and SWAT can do the rest.
Calvin still has Deacon's radio. We can use it to get
Deac a message, but the Webers will hear every word.
All right, then we use a code.
Back when Buck was in charge, we had a call.
Guy named Markham had taken hostages
- in his office building. - Yeah, and before we could
make entry, we had to kill the fuse box.
Okay, all right, smart.
But even if Deacon understands,
We don't know he can act on anything.
Deacon will come through. He always does.
Calvin Weber. This is Commander Hicks.
Do you hear me?
Need you to pick up.
What do you want now, Commander?
Well, we heard shots earlier.
I want to talk to Sergeant Kay.
I understand you wanting
to defend your family against harm.
I'm just trying to do the same.
Tell your boss you're okay.
Commander, I'm fine.
Hey, Deacon, it's Hondo.
Look, I know things are tense,
but just know that we're doing all we can,
just like we did with Markham, you hear me?
Keep the faith, Deac.
Yeah, Hondo. I hear you.
Okay, got your check-in. We're done.
Get the team. We need to be ready to move in quick.
If this doomsday stuff doesn't happen,
they're not taking me. I'm not going to jail.
None of us are.
Go play with your toys.
Listen to me.
I've seen situations like this
play themselves out.
You heard them.
They're not gonna go peacefully.
They'd rather fight. They'd rather die.
Now, I think I can get us out of here,
but I'm gonna need your help.
I don... I don't know.
I don't know.
All right. Wh... what about Erin?
You care about her.
Maybe see yourself in her a little bit.
Well, you should.
Because your father and Adam...
they are trying to control her, just like they do you.
"Don't cry. Do this, or else."
You got to get her out of here.
She's just a little girl.
Exactly.
You deserve something better than this.
But you only got one shot.
There's not gonna be another one.
What do you want me to do?
My team's coming.
- But we need to destroy that fuse box. - What?
H-How do you know?
It's something that Hondo just said.
We've worked together long enough.
I know what he meant.
Uh, you... And you trust that?
Me and Hondo?
One hundred percent.
Okay.
Here. Cut yourself loose.
Do whatever you want.
- I'll keep Erin quiet. - No, no, no. I can't. Not yet.
The second I'm free, they'll be all over me.
I won't be able to get close enough.
But you can.
Beth, you can do this.
How's it looking, Jeb?
I don't see anything on the news.
Everything looks normal.
Beth.
Whatever you're making, bring us some.
Maybe the pasta?
Oh, and, uh, I guess Erin'll want some, too.
Sure.
Beth, what are you doing with the hammer?
Yeah, what the hell are you doing?
Beth, put the hammer down.
Aah!
Fuse box! Fuse box!
Deacon did it.
Power's down. Let's go.
Beth, go! Get to the bedroom. Go!
Ready yourselves!
Cops are gonna be coming.
Oh, come here. Come here.
Okay, come here.
It's okay. I've got you.
Beth!
Beth, you let me in,
you ungrateful bitch!
Charges set.
Three, two, one.
LAPD! LAPD!
One suspect down.
Second suspect in custody.
- Third suspect in custody. - Deacon!
Deacon!
I'm here, Hondo, I'm here. I'm good.
I've got Erin. She's safe.
And Beth Weber has agreed to turn herself in.
Tan, go get Beth.
Give me your hands.
All right.
Final suspect in custody.
- Come here. - 20-David.
We've recovered Deacon and Erin Edwards.
We're Code 4.
That's it, sweetie. Oh, all right.
Very brave. There you go.
You had me worried, man.
Understatement of the century.
Let's get out of here.
Watch your head.
I sent the kids to the hospital to see their mom.
- She's gonna be okay. - All right, good.
Well, without Beth's help,
SWAT would have never got inside that bunker.
I'm gonna talk to the D.A.'s Office, see what we can do.
You know, she never made a move to save herself.
But even though Erin's not her kid,
Beth got brave
when she realized Erin was in danger.
Ah. Well, some people are just like that, you know?
Always putting everyone else first.
It can be good, but...
you can't do it forever.
That'll eat you up from the inside.
All right.
Hondo.
Listen, I'm sorry.
I didn't want you to hear I was retiring
from anyone but me.
That's not what had me thrown, man.
Deacon, you were on this team when I joined.
I don't know what 20-Squad looks like without you on it.
SWAT has been the priority in my life for a long time.
It's time to make a change.
So, this is your formal notice?
I'll give you a few weeks.
Help with the transition.
We'll figure this out.
Hey. I didn't see you when we got back from the raid.
I thought you might be off, uh,
writing up your story already.
Oh. Not without knowing the ending.
Thank you. For helping us.
Yeah, no problem.
I, uh, I'm gonna get a great article out of it.
And then what... hop on a plane?
Go cover the next international crisis?
Mm, I don't know.
Seems like L.A.'s
suddenly getting more exciting.
Well, if you're sticking around,
maybe I could buy you a drink sometime.
What about right now?
You can give me a quote about the raid.
I could really use an insider's point of view.
Good, you're still here.
Leaving to meet Thomas in a few.
Look...
I'm not good at the whole feel-good talk, so...
...this is what you get.
You're former Search and Rescue.
A SWAT officer.
There are videos of you jumping off of buildings.
You're cool.
And annoyingly sarcastic.
And... occasionally funny.
- Thanks, Alfaro. - Wait, I'm not done.
Because most importantly, you are brave.
And even though you're scared to meet Thomas,
you never once thought about backing out of dinner tonight.
Maybe he won't see all that right away.
But if he's anything like his mother,
he's smart.
And eventually, he will.
That was pretty feel-good.
All right, all right.
Get going. I'll finish this stuff up.
Sure? See you tomorrow.
Hi.
I'm Zoe.
Thomas. But you knew that.
- I knew that. - Yeah.
Thank you so much for coming.
I know I asked out of nowhere. Um...
I've, uh, kind of been, uh...
I've waffled between terror and excitement all day.
E-Exactly.
I saw some videos of your band playing.
I think it's so cool that you play guitar.
Are you kidding?
Don't you, like, defuse bombs for a living?
Not exactly, but...
I'd love to tell you about it.
Hey, baby.
You didn't have to wait up.
I'm still new to the...
"cop wife" thing.
I get anxious.
And that look makes me worry more.
What's going on?
You were right about Deacon.
He's retiring.
Told me today.
