S.W.A.T.

Previously on SWAT...

Let’s have a kid together. I want to have a family with you.

We're.. we're... we're having a girl.

Mmm. Mmm.

Powell, with me!

I got a shortcut. Powell!

Suspect's down.

You can’t just take off like that.

Relax. We got the guy, didn't we?

You get Powell squared away. She's your responsibility now.

Hank St. John. I go by Saint.

Daniel Jr. They call me... I know who you are, Hondo.

You may have them fooled, but not me.

It's only gonna take one mistake for the LAPD

to come knocking on your door.

I'll have to be very careful then.

This is Detective Rios with Gangs and Narcotics.

If you're right about this Saint guy being behind all this...

I am.. we haven't found any evidence

to confirm it.

I just wanted to ask you

about your new business venture with Hank St. John.

Starting my first business.

I'm calling it Freshness on Wheels .

Consider it a fair warning.

Clean up your act, or you're gonna see me

in ways that you don't want to.

Oh, Hondo, look how cute.

Oh, no.

Get out of town. Our baby girl ain't even born yet,

and she's already swagging it out.

This stuff looks practically new.

Has it ever even been worn? Uh, most of it, probably not.

Yeah, Annie went a little overboard dressing the girls.

How could she not? It's all so precious.

Yeah. I'm actually surprised she let this go.

But when she heard

that the two of you were having a baby, and a girl,

here it is.

Deacon, thank you. It means a lot.

Now you tell Annie that we promise

to give everything here a good home.

You're doing us a favor.

Victoria's almost four.

You know, it's about time we move on to the next phase.

What do you mean? Well, we have this joke

that we have lived through

different phases over the years.

First, it was the "Just the two of us" phase.

Then it was, “We’ve got one kid.

I think that's all we can handle" phase.

Our "Just the two of us" phase was pretty great.

You ready to shake that up?

I am more than ready.

Oh, you better be, because pretty soon,

it turns into the "Now, we have four kids

"and we couldn't believe that we thought

one was too much to handle" phase. Yeah.

You know what? I think we'll leave that phase

to you and Annie ‘cos I really don't see

four little rug rats running around here. Uh.. uh.

Victoria used to love stuffies,

but by the time this one came home, she was onto dolls.

Next, it'll be boys.

Ooh. Which phase is that?

That is the "Lord, help me" phase.

Oh, sorry, guys. Excuse me for a second.

Yo, Rios. What's up?

Yo, Hondo.

Yeah, I couldn't help it. Had to call right away.

I think we got him. We may have found

what we need to put Saint away for good.

What? You serious? What'd you find?

Picked up a laptop on a raid of one of Saint's pill mills

last night. Guys at Cyber Division

say it's encrypted like nothing they've ever seen.

And if that thing has that much security...

Got to be a gold mine, yeah. Problem is,

we're locked out of it until this raid.

You found the key? Don't get your hopes up.

Still got to see what's on the laptop first,

but my gut is telling me it's what we've been searching for.

I'll keep you posted.

Hey, Rios, thanks, man.

You stepped up and walked this path because I asked you to.

I owe you. Yeah, let's save the mushy stuff

for when we have Saint in cuffs, okay?

I'm so looking forward to that.

Thanks, brother.

All right, peace.

Good news?

Rios just hit up another one of Saint's stash houses, and

he thinks that he finally has enough evidence to put him away.

Well, that's huge. We're not there yet.

We got to confirm it, but, yeah, this feels really good.

Well, we should go.

Then I'll save my congratulations for later.

Can't wait. Mmm. See you tonight.

Okay. Bye.

Deacon, please thank Annie for all this.

I will.

Bye.

Hey.

Here you go.

Thank you. No problem.

Charlie, what the hell is this?

Celery, kale, spinach and apple.

Mom told you to watch your caffeine intake,

so I got you a healthy juice.

You're killing me, mijo, okay?

Back to your post, ok? Kale. \

How you doing? Fine.

You know, I spent a lot of time in this room

when I first got to SWAT.

It's almost a rite of passage.

Is that why you suggested to Hondo I get armory duty?

Nostalgia?

You got armory duty ‘cos you were reckless in the field.

Now, I know you trust your gut,

but you can't keep going off on your own.

There's a reason we move in twos.

Your partner's not just watching your back.

You're watching theirs.

I get it. You could've just said that.

You didn't have to get Hondo to sideline me.

You want me to lay off?

Stop reverting back to the lone wolf stuff.

I didn't ask you to be my mentor,

or whatever it is you think you're doing.

Can I get back to it?

These HKs aren't gonna clean themselves.

I mean, you look at his production from last season,

his numbers are obviously down. Does that worry you at all?

I mean, not particularly.

Look, let me rephrase it.

Is Bailey seeing a lot more double team this year? Yeah.

[radio program continues indistinctly]

[radio program continues indistinctly]

Move! Move!

This is Detective Alex Rios.

I'm at the corner of West 60th and South Hoover.

Code 30. Officer in need of assistance!

Hey, you notice anything funny about the commander today?

Funny? Hicks is a lot of things, I don't know about funny.

No, I mean, like, weird.

He was on the bike in the gym this morning.

And? Hicks hates the stationary bike.

He says it's the perfect metaphor

for going nowhere in life.

I'm telling you, man, something's off.

Hey. Morning, Commander.

Tan. Luca.

Hey, sir.

At ease, boys.

Was that a kombucha? I told you. Weird.

Kale salad?

I don't think I've ever seen Hicks eat a vegetable.

Not unless it was surrounded

by meat and smashed on a hoagie roll.

He's on some sort of health kick.

That's a good thing, right? I don't know.

My dad went on a health kick when he was Hicks's age

on the doctor's orders after he had a mild heart attack.

Hey.

Hondo called. Detective Rios radioed a Code 30.

He was attacked in his car. Now he's gone.

Hondo and Deacon are on their way there.

Said we should do what we can from here.

Okay, let's get some leads for them for when they get back.

All right. Thank you.

Detectives canvassed the block.

These guys weren't discrete.

Witnesses saw two masked men armed with assault rifles

yank Rios from his car, threw him in the back of a Jeep.

He was blindsided. Rios didn't stand a chance.

He was targeted. Yeah, looks like it.

I sent him down this road, Deacon.

Hey, Hondo, this isn't on you.

I talked Rios into going after Saint.

It's no coincidence that Rios was real close

to putting Saint away.

Now he gets ambushed? All right, let's...

let's not jump to conclusions.

There's only one possible conclusion.

Saint kidnapped Rios.

And you best believe I'm gonna get him back.

This mean I'm out of the doghouse?

For now. This is an all-hands situation.

One of our own is abducted in broad daylight.

Somebody must have seen something.

Well, the traffic cam gave us plates from the Jeep
