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-You'd give me a chance at getting back on SWAT? I'm saying that I will get you in SWAT academy.
How bad do you want it? LUCA: Devlin one, Street two.
I just want to say thanks, for making SWAT a possibility.
You've always had my back.
Gracias, TÃo.
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? Oh 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? Uh, 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.
Mm.
I gotta go.
Bye.
APRIL: Bye.
Bye.
- Bye sweetie, be safe.
- Mm.
Yeah.
(SOFT TRILL) We have two silent alarms.
The police will be here any second.
That's my wife my girls.
(GRUNTS) DISPATCHER: 2-11 in progress.
Suspect's vehicle heading northbound on Olive.
All units please respond.
HONDO: This is SWAT 20-David.
I'm off-duty, but I'm in the area.
Responding now.
(TIRES SQUEALING) (SIRENS WAILING) (TIRES SCREECHING) (SIRENS WAILING) (RAPID GUNFIRE) Hey! Hey.
I'm Metro SWAT.
- Are you all right? - (GROANS) - My ribs.
- All right.
I got you, I got you.
Let's get you out of here.
Come on.
- I got you.
- (GROANING) - Oh, God.
- Oh, 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? - $4 million.
Robbery-Homicide puts their total haul at over 11.
Wow.
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.
SWAT's taking over from Robbery-Homicide, and when this crew makes their next move We need to be ahead of them.
Hi.
Hey.
Mm.
Oh, wow.
You look so good.
What? Nothing, you just look really pretty.
I dig those earrings, too.
Hm.
Gift to myself.
(CHUCKLES) 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? Uh, I kicked in a few doors, served some warrants, um, nothing too exciting.
- Maybe not to you.
- (CHUCKLES).
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.
Uh-oh.
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-I-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? - (PHONE CHIMES) 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.
LUCA: Hey.
- Hey.
- You know what that is? Oh, yeah, it's an LRAD.
- Yeah.
- What happened to it? Uh, it was a hostage situation.
Some, uh, 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 SWA 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 SWAT 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 mean, I already had it loaded.
- Look, I don't care what they taught you down in Long Beach, Street.
This is LAPD SWAT.
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.
- Yeah.
- 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 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 SWAT.
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 to three major freeways that run through downtown.
LUCA: Every truck they steal, they reinforce the front and back by welding on steel plates.
So these guys are awesome at getting away, but how are they getting in? Most diamond dealers use three alarms, alerting the police if any one of them fail.
But nowadays 99% of alarms run on cell networks.
And during all three robberies, employees and guards reported a complete loss of cell service right before they got hit by this crew, which means they're using military-grade cell jammers.
If no alarms reach LAPD dispatch, how are we gonna know which diamond brokers are being jacked? I had the tech boys send us some cellular monitors.
These things read how weak or strong a cell signal is in a building.
We install one of those in every broker in the district.
That way there if the cell service goes dark - in any one of them - That's the one the crew's hitting.
- Like a cellular trip wire.
- Exactly.
All right, let's roll out and set some traps.
You got some new intel on this crew? All three brokers that were targeted have financial ties to Farbrek.
L.
A.
's Israeli Mafia? The one that supposedly doesn't exist? You think think this crew is only stealing diamonds that belong to Farbrek? All three brokers hired guards from the same security company.
Owned by Aviv Cohen.
He's supposedly Farbrek's top enforcer.
I know.
We crossed paths when I worked organized crime.
We were building a case against the Russian mob, - and Cohen gave us a lot of help.
- Yeah.
He fed you intel on the Russians to get rid of his competition.
Nobody makes a move in the district without Cohen knowing.
By now, he's searching for the same suspects we are.
If he finds them Judge, jury and executioner.
Who knows what kind of collateral damage.
What do you want to do? Talk to him.
But Cohen's dangerous, so I wanted at least one person here to know where I was going.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER) (COHEN SPEAKING HEBREW) - Jessica.
- Aviv.
- Coffee? - No, I have a rule.
No caffeine after dark, or I would never sleep.
Of course.
The diamond brokers who were robbed.
I know your bosses control them.
I also know that you're responsible for their protection.
That's why I always liked you.
You don't waste time, do you? (CHUCKLES) My firm has started its own investigation.
We, uh, we filed claims with the insurance companies I know.
I requested copies.
All three brokers had only the minimum coverage.
Total value of the stones stolen so far, 11 million.
Total payout from all three policies, three million.
Leaving eight million reasons why you want your hands on this crew.
I'm only doing what's within our legal rights to get back what was taken from our client.
Here's a deal.
If you find the suspects before we do, you call me and SWA takes them into custody.
So you get to hang another plaque on your wall while our diamonds get stuck in the probate court for God knows how long, right? Aviv.
If you help me get this crew off the street without any more bloodshed, I will hand-deliver those stones to you myself.
These thieves killed and injured some of my men.
All the more reason to let me put them behind bars.
How do I know you're gonna keep your word? I kept my word to you last time, and I will this time.
In both our jobs, having a friend is much smarter than making an enemy.
(SIGHS) TAN: Here we go.
- What you got? - Black Dodge Ram.
Engine's running.
License number 2-6-1-P-C-E.
No, doesn't come up stolen.
It's registered to Eddie Alvarez, 71.
TAN: Yeah, the only target Eddie's after is the half-chicken combo.
CHRIS: Hondo, I ran every pickup in the area, no red flags.
You and Deac, uh, spot anything where you're perched? HONDO (OVER RADIO): Negative.
Just keep your eyes open.
If this crew makes a move, - we need to be on top of them quick.
- Roger that.
That PR girl you've been after, you have date number three yet? We did.
And, uh, she's not in PR.
She's in marketing.
What's her name? Like, K-Kiva? Keela? - Kira.
- Kira.
That name just sounds sexy.
She's that one with the vintage record collection, right? You notice I haven't said anything about her today? I thought you said she might be serious girlfriend material.
Yeah, I thought so, too, but Sounds like Kira's lost her sizzle.
(CHUCKLES) - (TABLET BEEPING) - Hey, we've got a complete signal loss at Durant Diamonds.
Hondo, the crew's moving on a broker.
Seventh and Broadway.
(GUNSHOTS) This is 20-David to Command.
We are trading fire with four heavily armed suspects.
DEACON: 30-David to Command.
Suspect vehicle feeling the scene.
A gray crew cab pickup heading east on Broadway.
Suspect sporting heavy armor! Cover me.
DEACON: If we can't pierce that armor, he's not going down.
Did Hondo just skip a bullet? TAN: To get a different angle on the armor? Guys talk about doing it, but I've never seen it.
This is 20-David to Command.
One suspect down.
White female.
Is hard to believe this suspect to came out with a machine gun.
Adina Bagdalov.
22-year-old Israeli national here on a student visa.
I thought Jews weren't supposed to get tattoos? TAN: I knew this Jewish cop in Vice who got full sleeve tats.
He was killed, and his parents couldn't bury him in the family plot.
Well, she didn't think twice about mixing it up with us.
I doubt she cared what her parents thought.
She handled that SAW like a pro.
Well, in Israel, it's mandatory for all men and women to join the military when they turn 18, so she had plenty of training.
She was a college student? That's what it says on her visa.
She came here to study biology at Northridge.
Then a month ago, she dropped out, then disappeared.
- She have any other family here? - No, not stateside.
I called the Israeli consulate.
They're trying to track down next of kin.
The three suspects who got away, they're also women? Dr.
Hughes is sending the postincident psych review for your file.
You're clear for duty.
The suspect, she was a young woman.
Yeah.
Surprised the hell out of me, too.
- Are you okay? - I'm fine, Jess.
You know me.
Not as much as I used to.
- How are things with your new guy? - David? Good.
I met his family the other night for the first time.
I couldn't really tell if they liked me.
Oh, come on.
Stop it.
I'm sure they loved you.
I mean, he's got no chance of treating you like the last guy, but, uh - maybe he'll come close.
- What about you? Is there any lucky girl in your life? No one serious.
Okay, now that we've ID'd one of the suspects, let's start making connections to the other three.
We're already doing it.
And I'll keep you posted.
Thanks for getting me cleared for duty.
JESSICA: Street.
- What's this? - Request for a new LRAD sonic rifle.
Somebody trashed ours.
We're facing massive budget cuts.
I cannot put this request through.
- I'm sorry.
- I mean, just explain to the city controller it's a nonlethal acoustic device A sound gun.
Believe me, she'll see it as a waste of money.
She's already on me about the 500 Tac Lights - I got ordered by accident.
- I can return them.
Refund might cover the cost of a new LRAD.
The vendor won't take them back.
What if I knew someone that could take those off our hands? You know someone who wants to buy 500 Tac Lights? Maybe.
Someone legal? Of course.
Why does everyone always assume the worst about me? Just make sure no one sees you haul them out of here.
(MICROWAVE BEEPS) You know, in all the years we've worked together, I don't think I've ever seen you use a microwave.
Usually the beeping means your food is done.
(MICROWAVE OPENS, CLOSES) You ever kill a woman? No, I have not.
Neither have I.
Till today.
(SIGHS) We engaged an armed suspect.
Makes no difference what gender they are.
So why do I feel bad about it? Because, if you're like me, you probably hold on to some notion of chivalry.
Handed down to us by the old-timers who taught us the codes of the street.
My mama always told me that you protect the women and the kids.
Unfortunately, that's not the world we live in today.
We got kids shooting up movie theaters.
Moms pulling pieces on each other because someone stole a parking spot at yoga class.
I mean, maybe there was a nonlethal scenario - that I should've thought about.
- Like what? There was no other scenario.
(EXHALES) Hondo.
Look, laying out on that coroner's slab, she looked like the girl next door.
But you didn't shoot a woman.
You shot a killer.
Thanks, Deac.
CHRIS: And when exactly did - Adina move out of your dorm? - About a month ago.
I came home from class, and all her stuff was gone.
I figured she got homesick and went back to Israel.
You didn't get any calls or texts from her after that? No.
We weren't very close.
I mean, she was always either in class or at the gym.
She basically lived there.
She ever talk about her family? They were aid workers who got killed crossing the border in Israel.
Adina say how they died? No.
I figured it was terrorism.
I mean, you know how messed up it is over there.
Did she have a boyfriend or any other friends on campus? No, but she mentioned she had a few friends from back home who were also here on visas.
- In L.
A.
? - No idea.
Just heard her talking on the phone with them a few times.
(SIREN BLARING) (SIREN BLARING, HONKING) (TIRES SQUEAKING) Real discreet.
Hey, you're the one who wanted to do this in broad daylight.
All right.
Like I said, ten grand worth of Tac Lights, brand-new, in the box.
Sweet.
Still got guys in narcotics duct-taping Maglites to the end of their shotguns.
- Sure your captain okayed this? - Of course.
Hey man, we're just two friendly law enforcement agencies - filling gaps in our inventories.
- Translation let's make this quick before someone notices they're gone.
Whoa! What happened to this LRAD? Sarge got drunk at Novak's bachelor party and dropped it in a hot tub.
Pretty sure the components still work.
(SIGHS) This is not a fair trade.
So, you working the Armory.
That mean you're not SWAT anymore? Temporary budget thing.
(CHUCKLES) Translation you pissed off the wrong people.
That's the Jim Street I know and love.
Let's just say it's a, uh to-be-continued situation.
I had Customs search their database for all Israeli females who entered the country on student visas.
Three women were flagged for extending their visas and then disappearing, so we dug a little deeper.
These three women served in the same unit in the Israeli Defense Force.
Shoshonah Peretz.
She arrived four months ago, enrolled at Otis School of Design, and then, six weeks ago, she dropped out and vanished.
HONDO: Dania Ganz.
Accepted to Loyola Marymount for political science, and then, a month ago, she was gone.
Tori Kavev.
She got into Pepperdine.
Three weeks ago, she ghosted.
Now, all three of these women grew up in the same settlement here, in Rimon.
It's a stone's throw from the Palestinian border.
Okay, I'm a believer.
According to Israeli border police, each of the girls had at least one parent murdered who worked for a group by the name of the Segol Foundation.
The Jewish charity here in L.
A.
? Yeah, the foundation funds the entire settlement and employs everyone in it.
And the border police suspect that these girls' parents were murdered for something they were trying to smuggle over the border.
- Uncut diamonds.
- I called a friend in Financial Crimes.
He suspects that the Segol Foundation is linked to Farbrek somehow, who uses the charity to launder dirty money, but no one's ever been able to prove it.
This is about diamonds, but it's also about revenge.
Customs have any idea where to find these girls? No, but even armed robbers like to post to social media.
These are the last pics that she posted before scrubbing the account, about a month before the robberies started.
And that is Nicholas Darby.
He and Shoshonah were enrolled in the same class.
Deac, get the team ready to roll.
Did Cohen tell you about Farbrek's connection to all of this? Nope, he left that part out.
Aviv? Shouldn't make a habit of being seen together, Jessica.
Why are you showing me this? She and her army buddies are the ones ripping you off.
But you already knew that.
Your bosses trick settlers into smuggling diamonds into Israel, telling them the profits support the homelands.
It's not illegal to support a worthy cause, or is it? Once those diamonds arrived in L.
A.
, your bosses cover their tracks by killing those girls' parents.
Do you have anything to do with that? Okay, here's the truth.
I've never even been to Israel, okay? I'm a horrible Jew.
But your bosses did order you to kill these young women if you find them first, didn't they? If I find them, I'll call you.
Hate to lose a friend.
If they turn up dead, you'll lose more than just a friend.
Bye, Jessica.
(BEEPING) (DISTANT DOOR OPENS) Shosh, wh-what are you doing? What are you doing with a gun? - Metro SWAT! Get down! - (RAPID GUNFIRE, GLASS BREAKING) - Deacon, Luca, cover the roof.
- LUCA: Down, down! HONDO: Go! Tan, you're with me! Move! Move! - Down! Go! - Yeah, yeah.
- CHRIS: Hands behind your back.
- I don't think CHRIS: Hands behind your back! - Go! (PANTING) Drop your weapon! (RAPID GUNFIRE) Suspect's coming your way! Drop the weapon! (GUNSHOT) Hondo, suspect's going for the one-side! Shoshonah, don't move.
Don't do it.
The glass! (SHOSHONAH GRUNTS, THUDDING) (GLASS CLINKING) (PANTING) You took quite a spill.
You're lucky you didn't slice an artery.
You're the one that killed my friend? DEACON: You got one hell of a crew.
You know, most of the men that we chase they aren't half as tough as you and your friends.
But it's over, Shoshonah.
Unless your pals are on a suicide mission, there's only one play here.
HONDO: All four of you got the same tats? Part of our pact.
"Never again" what does that mean? We refuse to be victims twice.
That's your parents.
We know Farbrek's - responsible for their deaths.
- DEACON: We also know that through the charity they control that they forced your parents to smuggle blood diamonds into Israel, promised them that the profits would go to new settlements, and then repaid them with bullets to the head.
HONDO: I don't want any more of your friends to end up in the morgue like Adina.
Now, is that what you want? DEACON: Family and friends is important to you.
But Shoshonah, your silence it's actually putting your friends in danger.
They're safe from you, aren't they? The LAPD is not who you need to be worried about.
If Cohen and his men get to them first, you know the torture he'll put them through.
DEACON: If you truly love your friends, you'll help us save them.
And I promise you, we will bring them in unharmed, and your story will be heard.
You're fixing it, huh? Uh-huh.
I can't believe Luca ran over it.
What? He told me that Wow.
By the way, if you're, uh, here to beg me to rejoin the team, you're too late.
I've realized that my true calling is drying out circuit boards and watching everybody else get to do all the cool stuff.
Actually, I'm-I'm I'm here for advice.
Not sure why, considering the disaster you call your love life.
Well, you've been my sounding board for all of my romantic misadventures.
I'd be honored to return the favor.
Okay, but when I tell you this, can you please promise me you're not gonna spiral into some juvenile sex fantasy? - Sure.
- It's about Kira.
The marketing girl with the rad vinyl collection? It turns out she has a fiancé, a guy, and they they want to recruit me into being a part of their relationship.
- Let me get this straight.
- (INHALES AND EXHALES LOUDLY) So, you're into Kira, but she's engaged to a dude, - and they-they both want to date you? - I know.
- It's, uh different.
- Mm.
I don't even know if I want to meet him.
- Well, I do.
I mean, any guy who's planning a wedding with his bride-to-be while also lining up a second hottie for a roll in the hay - with his fiancée's blessing - Street! - Spiraling.
- Sorry.
So, what about Kira? - Do you really like her? - Yeah.
She's funny, she's smart.
Chemistry is crazy.
I honestly thought I found someone I wanted to get serious with, but I can't do this polyamorous thing.
Okay, I'll bite.
Why not? Okay, one that's not what I'm looking for.
Two you've met my family.
And as much as they love me, it took them a long time to even accept that I was bisexual.
I can't imagine how they'd react if I brought a man and a woman home for Christmas.
(LAUGHING): Yeah.
(SNIFFS) You know what I've loved about you since the first day we met? You don't give a damn what anyone thinks.
You're just you.
Yeah, but being a third wheel in a "throuple?" I mean, you wouldn't be standing here talking to me if you weren't at least tempted to be in a "throuple?" Is that? - That's what we're calling it? - (LAUGHS) - Yeah.
Whatever.
- I mean, who knows? They could be the loves of your life.
You should just do what you want to do.
Don't worry about what anyone else thinks.
Thanks.
And I'm I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to, um, call your relationships "disasters.
" (CHUCKLES) Well, they are, so Maybe I just haven't met the right couple yet.
(CHUCKLES) Here.
This belongs in Black Betty.
Gollen Precious Metals.
Shoshonah told us this was the next broker they're hitting.
Only two of them now.
You think they'll still - go through with it? - They made a pact to steal back every single stone their parents died for, bringing at least some restitution to their families back home.
Yeah, and from what we've seen so far, even just two of these women, lethal enough to pull it off.
We know they'll shoot it out before just giving up.
Let's go.
They're hitting it at 4:00.
We'll be there at 2:00.
Any second now.
(GASPS) Don't shoot.
Don't shoot.
(GRUNTS) They're here.
Hondo, I have eyes on Cohen.
Moving heavy with back-up to the real target.
Shoshonah fed us a diversion.
Captain, what's your 20? Sixth and Broadway.
L.
C.
J.
Metals.
Roger that.
We're headed to you now.
Stop and lay down your weapons.
I said lay down your weapons.
- Where's our diamonds? - They came last night.
- Put them in the floor.
- Show us.
Lay down your weapons.
COHEN: Your suspects, they're, uh, they're inside.
I don't give third warnings and I don't shoot to wound.
- Jessica.
- Aviv.
Okay.
Okay.
Start walking.
(SIREN APPROACHING) Captain, you good? Yeah.
- (RAPID GUNFIRE) - Cover! Cover! Luca.
Smokes, strobes, noise whatever barricade gear we got.
I don't have the combination.
LAPD! Drop your weapons! LAPD has the place surrounded.
You got nowhere else to run.
(RAPID GUNFIRE) (GRUNTS) HONDO: Move, move! Sir, come with me.
(CHUCKLES) Anyone clock how much ammo they had? They've gone through a mag each already.
- They can't have much more.
- Yeah, well, it only takes one.
(GRUNTS) HONDO: Dania! Tori! Look, we know why you're here, and we know what happened to your parents.
Enough people have died over these rocks! Let's end this right now.
Is that thing charged? All the way.
Ears.
Luca, move, move.
Got it cranked to ten.
(HIGH-PITCHED SOUND SHRILLING) (SCREAMING) - (GRUNTS) - (SCREAMS) - LUCA: Suspects down! - DEACON: Move, move, move! LUCA: Go, go! Hands up! Don't move! (DANIA AND TORI PANTING) JESSICA: What happened to my phone call? To working with me? I have bosses, Jessica, same as you.
I don't question their orders, I just carry them out.
We recovered the diamonds.
Every stone.
If you kept your word, I would be handing them over to you right now.
Okay, so let's try and salvage our deal.
You got a deal when I let you walk away the first time.
You should be sitting in prison right now.
But I'm not.
Because one day you know you're gonna need me again.
I sent a copy over to Organized Crime.
They've been circling Farbrek for years.
Looks like a list of names of people of people who like donating to charity.
Yeah, but I'm sure it won't take long for them to match the names on that list to the blood diamonds they belong to.
Jessica, you don't have to do this.
Aviv, I told you.
In our line of work you need every friend you can get.
- And you just lost your best one.
- Jessica (SIGHS) Man, my ears are still ringing.
What'd you say? (BOTH LAUGH) You know, we all obsess over our losses, but we never celebrate the wins.
Two months ago.
A hostage barricade on the 101.
Meth-head from Carson, kidnapped his ex-girlfriend, he tried to get her to jump into the river.
You remember? Oh, yeah, we had to shut down the freeway for over two hours.
We had a lot of pissed off commuters that day.
The ex-girlfriend, you remember her? Yeah, yeah.
Nina.
Nina Dorin.
33.
Worked the deli counter at Von's, trying to take care of two kids on minimum wage.
All while being stalked by her tweaker ex.
He tried to kill her and you saved her life.
Yeah.
You know (SIGHS) I-I get why we hold on to the bad things that we have to do, but but hold on to the good things, too.
Moscow Mule, right? - You're not on call or anything? - CHRIS: Nope.
She did tell you everything.
TY: Kira couldn't stop talking about you, even after you told her off.
Maybe because you did tell her off.
(CHUCKLES) Not a fan of our vetting process.
Right.
Sorry.
We've just found that easing into that conversation is sometimes easier after you know one of us.
Yeah, I'm, uh, still trying - to wrap my head around all of this.
- TY: Right.
What exactly would I be to the two of you? Well, there's a physical aspect, of course.
We can have a lot of fun.
But, uh, ultimately, it's about so much more than sex for us.
We're interested in a real partner, the whole package.
And if I decide to do this what are the rules? Mm.
Okay, uh, well.
In the beginning, if we plan dates it's never between just two of us.
Initially, it's all about the trio.
Over time, we're gonna develop different dynamics with each other.
We're not the same person, so we're not all gonna have the same relationship.
Another rule is don't keep score.
- Mm.
- Like, "I slept with him twice, she needs to sleep with me twice.
" Just let things be what they are.
Don't over-think it.
And if you ever feel left out, you just ask for what you need.
We don't read minds.
KIRA: And if anyone is feeling jealous, just say so, and we'll figure out a way to rebalance.
TY: This only works if we all feel secure and valued.
Open and honest communication, it's key, our Golden Rule.
So what else do you want to know? LUCA: Talked to Hondo.
Never pegged you as the "run to teacher" type.
Luca, come on.
Don't tell me you haven't seen me giving 110% out there, but all you do is you dress me down, you dock me points Look, I'm taking my job as a SWAT candidate evaluator seriously.
Be honest with me.
Me going through the academy, am I just wasting my time? - You want honest? - Yeah.
If it were up to me, you would not be in the academy.
Okay? You had your spot, you had a spot that a hundred guys would kill for and you threw it away.
You're right.
But I'm not like you, Luca, okay? I didn't have a family to teach me what it means to be a part of something special.
I had to figure that out myself.
And I only did when I lost it.
Look, you've got more natural talent and intuition for this than guys with decades on the job.
But this is more than a job, it's a life.
And you can't take shortcuts.
I'm trying.
Seriously, I am trying.
All right, small arms training tomorrow, 0500.
If I was you, I'd finish up here, hit the sack.
- All right.
- That LRAD came in handy today.
I never thought you'd actually find the part to fix it.
Try not to run over it again.
Don't wanna get ahead Of myself Feeling things I've never felt Boom.
Chicken-rice casserole.
Ah, I hope those corners are extra crispy.
Come on, now.
Believe me, I know just how you like it.
Is this my recipe? - Why would I use anything but the best? - So, Daniel, when are you gonna tell me why you're really making me a home-cooked dinner, you know, out of the blue? What you mean? What? A man can't do something nice for his momma? Come on, now.
All right, you got me.
(SIGHS) Look, it's just, uh Momma, sometimes it's hard carrying out certain aspects of my job, and still being the man that you raised me to be.
In today's world, it's not easy being a man.
Mmm.
Only requires you to do one thing.
Oh, come on, Momma, don't say it.
Don't say it.
Well, make me a damn grandmother, already! - Ah, don't start with that right now.
- Don't you "don't start me.
" I'm not gonna live forever.
I want my grandkid boy or girl, it don't matter.
Why don't you talk to Winnie about some grandkids? I'm not talking to your sister, I'm talking to you.
(SIGHS) Daniel, whatever is bothering you, it's nothing that some good casserole and your momma can't help you solve.
(CHUCKLES) I know that's right.
Then come on and sit down, and let's eat.
- Yes, ma'am.
Yes ma'am.
- (CHUCKLES) Oh, me, oh, my, I can't explain She might just be my everything Oh, my, oh, my, I can't explain
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-You'd give me a chance at getting back on SWAT? I'm saying that I will get you in SWAT academy.
How bad do you want it? LUCA: Devlin one, Street two.
I just want to say thanks, for making SWAT a possibility.
You've always had my back.
Gracias, TÃo.
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? Oh 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? Uh, 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.
Mm.
I gotta go.
Bye.
APRIL: Bye.
Bye.
- Bye sweetie, be safe.
- Mm.
Yeah.
(SOFT TRILL) We have two silent alarms.
The police will be here any second.
That's my wife my girls.
(GRUNTS) DISPATCHER: 2-11 in progress.
Suspect's vehicle heading northbound on Olive.
All units please respond.
HONDO: This is SWAT 20-David.
I'm off-duty, but I'm in the area.
Responding now.
(TIRES SQUEALING) (SIRENS WAILING) (TIRES SCREECHING) (SIRENS WAILING) (RAPID GUNFIRE) Hey! Hey.
I'm Metro SWAT.
- Are you all right? - (GROANS) - My ribs.
- All right.
I got you, I got you.
Let's get you out of here.
Come on.
- I got you.
- (GROANING) - Oh, God.
- Oh, 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? - $4 million.
Robbery-Homicide puts their total haul at over 11.
Wow.
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.
SWAT's taking over from Robbery-Homicide, and when this crew makes their next move We need to be ahead of them.
Hi.
Hey.
Mm.
Oh, wow.
You look so good.
What? Nothing, you just look really pretty.
I dig those earrings, too.
Hm.
Gift to myself.
(CHUCKLES) 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? Uh, I kicked in a few doors, served some warrants, um, nothing too exciting.
- Maybe not to you.
- (CHUCKLES).
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.
Uh-oh.
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-I-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? - (PHONE CHIMES) 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.
LUCA: Hey.
- Hey.
- You know what that is? Oh, yeah, it's an LRAD.
- Yeah.
- What happened to it? Uh, it was a hostage situation.
Some, uh, 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 SWA 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 SWAT 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 mean, I already had it loaded.
- Look, I don't care what they taught you down in Long Beach, Street.
This is LAPD SWAT.
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.
- Yeah.
- 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 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 SWAT.
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 to three major freeways that run through downtown.
LUCA: Every truck they steal, they reinforce the front and back by welding on steel plates.
So these guys are awesome at getting away, but how are they getting in? Most diamond dealers use three alarms, alerting the police if any one of them fail.
But nowadays 99% of alarms run on cell networks.
And during all three robberies, employees and guards reported a complete loss of cell service right before they got hit by this crew, which means they're using military-grade cell jammers.
If no alarms reach LAPD dispatch, how are we gonna know which diamond brokers are being jacked? I had the tech boys send us some cellular monitors.
These things read how weak or strong a cell signal is in a building.
We install one of those in every broker in the district.
That way there if the cell service goes dark - in any one of them - That's the one the crew's hitting.
- Like a cellular trip wire.
- Exactly.
All right, let's roll out and set some traps.
You got some new intel on this crew? All three brokers that were targeted have financial ties to Farbrek.
L.
A.
's Israeli Mafia? The one that supposedly doesn't exist? You think think this crew is only stealing diamonds that belong to Farbrek? All three brokers hired guards from the same security company.
Owned by Aviv Cohen.
He's supposedly Farbrek's top enforcer.
I know.
We crossed paths when I worked organized crime.
We were building a case against the Russian mob, - and Cohen gave us a lot of help.
- Yeah.
He fed you intel on the Russians to get rid of his competition.
Nobody makes a move in the district without Cohen knowing.
By now, he's searching for the same suspects we are.
If he finds them Judge, jury and executioner.
Who knows what kind of collateral damage.
What do you want to do? Talk to him.
But Cohen's dangerous, so I wanted at least one person here to know where I was going.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER) (COHEN SPEAKING HEBREW) - Jessica.
- Aviv.
- Coffee? - No, I have a rule.
No caffeine after dark, or I would never sleep.
Of course.
The diamond brokers who were robbed.
I know your bosses control them.
I also know that you're responsible for their protection.
That's why I always liked you.
You don't waste time, do you? (CHUCKLES) My firm has started its own investigation.
We, uh, we filed claims with the insurance companies I know.
I requested copies.
All three brokers had only the minimum coverage.
Total value of the stones stolen so far, 11 million.
Total payout from all three policies, three million.
Leaving eight million reasons why you want your hands on this crew.
I'm only doing what's within our legal rights to get back what was taken from our client.
Here's a deal.
If you find the suspects before we do, you call me and SWA takes them into custody.
So you get to hang another plaque on your wall while our diamonds get stuck in the probate court for God knows how long, right? Aviv.
If you help me get this crew off the street without any more bloodshed, I will hand-deliver those stones to you myself.
These thieves killed and injured some of my men.
All the more reason to let me put them behind bars.
How do I know you're gonna keep your word? I kept my word to you last time, and I will this time.
In both our jobs, having a friend is much smarter than making an enemy.
(SIGHS) TAN: Here we go.
- What you got? - Black Dodge Ram.
Engine's running.
License number 2-6-1-P-C-E.
No, doesn't come up stolen.
It's registered to Eddie Alvarez, 71.
TAN: Yeah, the only target Eddie's after is the half-chicken combo.
CHRIS: Hondo, I ran every pickup in the area, no red flags.
You and Deac, uh, spot anything where you're perched? HONDO (OVER RADIO): Negative.
Just keep your eyes open.
If this crew makes a move, - we need to be on top of them quick.
- Roger that.
That PR girl you've been after, you have date number three yet? We did.
And, uh, she's not in PR.
She's in marketing.
What's her name? Like, K-Kiva? Keela? - Kira.
- Kira.
That name just sounds sexy.
She's that one with the vintage record collection, right? You notice I haven't said anything about her today? I thought you said she might be serious girlfriend material.
Yeah, I thought so, too, but Sounds like Kira's lost her sizzle.
(CHUCKLES) - (TABLET BEEPING) - Hey, we've got a complete signal loss at Durant Diamonds.
Hondo, the crew's moving on a broker.
Seventh and Broadway.
(GUNSHOTS) This is 20-David to Command.
We are trading fire with four heavily armed suspects.
DEACON: 30-David to Command.
Suspect vehicle feeling the scene.
A gray crew cab pickup heading east on Broadway.
Suspect sporting heavy armor! Cover me.
DEACON: If we can't pierce that armor, he's not going down.
Did Hondo just skip a bullet? TAN: To get a different angle on the armor? Guys talk about doing it, but I've never seen it.
This is 20-David to Command.
One suspect down.
White female.
Is hard to believe this suspect to came out with a machine gun.
Adina Bagdalov.
22-year-old Israeli national here on a student visa.
I thought Jews weren't supposed to get tattoos? TAN: I knew this Jewish cop in Vice who got full sleeve tats.
He was killed, and his parents couldn't bury him in the family plot.
Well, she didn't think twice about mixing it up with us.
I doubt she cared what her parents thought.
She handled that SAW like a pro.
Well, in Israel, it's mandatory for all men and women to join the military when they turn 18, so she had plenty of training.
She was a college student? That's what it says on her visa.
She came here to study biology at Northridge.
Then a month ago, she dropped out, then disappeared.
- She have any other family here? - No, not stateside.
I called the Israeli consulate.
They're trying to track down next of kin.
The three suspects who got away, they're also women? Dr.
Hughes is sending the postincident psych review for your file.
You're clear for duty.
The suspect, she was a young woman.
Yeah.
Surprised the hell out of me, too.
- Are you okay? - I'm fine, Jess.
You know me.
Not as much as I used to.
- How are things with your new guy? - David? Good.
I met his family the other night for the first time.
I couldn't really tell if they liked me.
Oh, come on.
Stop it.
I'm sure they loved you.
I mean, he's got no chance of treating you like the last guy, but, uh - maybe he'll come close.
- What about you? Is there any lucky girl in your life? No one serious.
Okay, now that we've ID'd one of the suspects, let's start making connections to the other three.
We're already doing it.
And I'll keep you posted.
Thanks for getting me cleared for duty.
JESSICA: Street.
- What's this? - Request for a new LRAD sonic rifle.
Somebody trashed ours.
We're facing massive budget cuts.
I cannot put this request through.
- I'm sorry.
- I mean, just explain to the city controller it's a nonlethal acoustic device A sound gun.
Believe me, she'll see it as a waste of money.
She's already on me about the 500 Tac Lights - I got ordered by accident.
- I can return them.
Refund might cover the cost of a new LRAD.
The vendor won't take them back.
What if I knew someone that could take those off our hands? You know someone who wants to buy 500 Tac Lights? Maybe.
Someone legal? Of course.
Why does everyone always assume the worst about me? Just make sure no one sees you haul them out of here.
(MICROWAVE BEEPS) You know, in all the years we've worked together, I don't think I've ever seen you use a microwave.
Usually the beeping means your food is done.
(MICROWAVE OPENS, CLOSES) You ever kill a woman? No, I have not.
Neither have I.
Till today.
(SIGHS) We engaged an armed suspect.
Makes no difference what gender they are.
So why do I feel bad about it? Because, if you're like me, you probably hold on to some notion of chivalry.
Handed down to us by the old-timers who taught us the codes of the street.
My mama always told me that you protect the women and the kids.
Unfortunately, that's not the world we live in today.
We got kids shooting up movie theaters.
Moms pulling pieces on each other because someone stole a parking spot at yoga class.
I mean, maybe there was a nonlethal scenario - that I should've thought about.
- Like what? There was no other scenario.
(EXHALES) Hondo.
Look, laying out on that coroner's slab, she looked like the girl next door.
But you didn't shoot a woman.
You shot a killer.
Thanks, Deac.
CHRIS: And when exactly did - Adina move out of your dorm? - About a month ago.
I came home from class, and all her stuff was gone.
I figured she got homesick and went back to Israel.
You didn't get any calls or texts from her after that? No.
We weren't very close.
I mean, she was always either in class or at the gym.
She basically lived there.
She ever talk about her family? They were aid workers who got killed crossing the border in Israel.
Adina say how they died? No.
I figured it was terrorism.
I mean, you know how messed up it is over there.
Did she have a boyfriend or any other friends on campus? No, but she mentioned she had a few friends from back home who were also here on visas.
- In L.
A.
? - No idea.
Just heard her talking on the phone with them a few times.
(SIREN BLARING) (SIREN BLARING, HONKING) (TIRES SQUEAKING) Real discreet.
Hey, you're the one who wanted to do this in broad daylight.
All right.
Like I said, ten grand worth of Tac Lights, brand-new, in the box.
Sweet.
Still got guys in narcotics duct-taping Maglites to the end of their shotguns.
- Sure your captain okayed this? - Of course.
Hey man, we're just two friendly law enforcement agencies - filling gaps in our inventories.
- Translation let's make this quick before someone notices they're gone.
Whoa! What happened to this LRAD? Sarge got drunk at Novak's bachelor party and dropped it in a hot tub.
Pretty sure the components still work.
(SIGHS) This is not a fair trade.
So, you working the Armory.
That mean you're not SWAT anymore? Temporary budget thing.
(CHUCKLES) Translation you pissed off the wrong people.
That's the Jim Street I know and love.
Let's just say it's a, uh to-be-continued situation.
I had Customs search their database for all Israeli females who entered the country on student visas.
Three women were flagged for extending their visas and then disappearing, so we dug a little deeper.
These three women served in the same unit in the Israeli Defense Force.
Shoshonah Peretz.
She arrived four months ago, enrolled at Otis School of Design, and then, six weeks ago, she dropped out and vanished.
HONDO: Dania Ganz.
Accepted to Loyola Marymount for political science, and then, a month ago, she was gone.
Tori Kavev.
She got into Pepperdine.
Three weeks ago, she ghosted.
Now, all three of these women grew up in the same settlement here, in Rimon.
It's a stone's throw from the Palestinian border.
Okay, I'm a believer.
According to Israeli border police, each of the girls had at least one parent murdered who worked for a group by the name of the Segol Foundation.
The Jewish charity here in L.
A.
? Yeah, the foundation funds the entire settlement and employs everyone in it.
And the border police suspect that these girls' parents were murdered for something they were trying to smuggle over the border.
- Uncut diamonds.
- I called a friend in Financial Crimes.
He suspects that the Segol Foundation is linked to Farbrek somehow, who uses the charity to launder dirty money, but no one's ever been able to prove it.
This is about diamonds, but it's also about revenge.
Customs have any idea where to find these girls? No, but even armed robbers like to post to social media.
These are the last pics that she posted before scrubbing the account, about a month before the robberies started.
And that is Nicholas Darby.
He and Shoshonah were enrolled in the same class.
Deac, get the team ready to roll.
Did Cohen tell you about Farbrek's connection to all of this? Nope, he left that part out.
Aviv? Shouldn't make a habit of being seen together, Jessica.
Why are you showing me this? She and her army buddies are the ones ripping you off.
But you already knew that.
Your bosses trick settlers into smuggling diamonds into Israel, telling them the profits support the homelands.
It's not illegal to support a worthy cause, or is it? Once those diamonds arrived in L.
A.
, your bosses cover their tracks by killing those girls' parents.
Do you have anything to do with that? Okay, here's the truth.
I've never even been to Israel, okay? I'm a horrible Jew.
But your bosses did order you to kill these young women if you find them first, didn't they? If I find them, I'll call you.
Hate to lose a friend.
If they turn up dead, you'll lose more than just a friend.
Bye, Jessica.
(BEEPING) (DISTANT DOOR OPENS) Shosh, wh-what are you doing? What are you doing with a gun? - Metro SWAT! Get down! - (RAPID GUNFIRE, GLASS BREAKING) - Deacon, Luca, cover the roof.
- LUCA: Down, down! HONDO: Go! Tan, you're with me! Move! Move! - Down! Go! - Yeah, yeah.
- CHRIS: Hands behind your back.
- I don't think CHRIS: Hands behind your back! - Go! (PANTING) Drop your weapon! (RAPID GUNFIRE) Suspect's coming your way! Drop the weapon! (GUNSHOT) Hondo, suspect's going for the one-side! Shoshonah, don't move.
Don't do it.
The glass! (SHOSHONAH GRUNTS, THUDDING) (GLASS CLINKING) (PANTING) You took quite a spill.
You're lucky you didn't slice an artery.
You're the one that killed my friend? DEACON: You got one hell of a crew.
You know, most of the men that we chase they aren't half as tough as you and your friends.
But it's over, Shoshonah.
Unless your pals are on a suicide mission, there's only one play here.
HONDO: All four of you got the same tats? Part of our pact.
"Never again" what does that mean? We refuse to be victims twice.
That's your parents.
We know Farbrek's - responsible for their deaths.
- DEACON: We also know that through the charity they control that they forced your parents to smuggle blood diamonds into Israel, promised them that the profits would go to new settlements, and then repaid them with bullets to the head.
HONDO: I don't want any more of your friends to end up in the morgue like Adina.
Now, is that what you want? DEACON: Family and friends is important to you.
But Shoshonah, your silence it's actually putting your friends in danger.
They're safe from you, aren't they? The LAPD is not who you need to be worried about.
If Cohen and his men get to them first, you know the torture he'll put them through.
DEACON: If you truly love your friends, you'll help us save them.
And I promise you, we will bring them in unharmed, and your story will be heard.
You're fixing it, huh? Uh-huh.
I can't believe Luca ran over it.
What? He told me that Wow.
By the way, if you're, uh, here to beg me to rejoin the team, you're too late.
I've realized that my true calling is drying out circuit boards and watching everybody else get to do all the cool stuff.
Actually, I'm-I'm I'm here for advice.
Not sure why, considering the disaster you call your love life.
Well, you've been my sounding board for all of my romantic misadventures.
I'd be honored to return the favor.
Okay, but when I tell you this, can you please promise me you're not gonna spiral into some juvenile sex fantasy? - Sure.
- It's about Kira.
The marketing girl with the rad vinyl collection? It turns out she has a fiancé, a guy, and they they want to recruit me into being a part of their relationship.
- Let me get this straight.
- (INHALES AND EXHALES LOUDLY) So, you're into Kira, but she's engaged to a dude, - and they-they both want to date you? - I know.
- It's, uh different.
- Mm.
I don't even know if I want to meet him.
- Well, I do.
I mean, any guy who's planning a wedding with his bride-to-be while also lining up a second hottie for a roll in the hay - with his fiancée's blessing - Street! - Spiraling.
- Sorry.
So, what about Kira? - Do you really like her? - Yeah.
She's funny, she's smart.
Chemistry is crazy.
I honestly thought I found someone I wanted to get serious with, but I can't do this polyamorous thing.
Okay, I'll bite.
Why not? Okay, one that's not what I'm looking for.
Two you've met my family.
And as much as they love me, it took them a long time to even accept that I was bisexual.
I can't imagine how they'd react if I brought a man and a woman home for Christmas.
(LAUGHING): Yeah.
(SNIFFS) You know what I've loved about you since the first day we met? You don't give a damn what anyone thinks.
You're just you.
Yeah, but being a third wheel in a "throuple?" I mean, you wouldn't be standing here talking to me if you weren't at least tempted to be in a "throuple?" Is that? - That's what we're calling it? - (LAUGHS) - Yeah.
Whatever.
- I mean, who knows? They could be the loves of your life.
You should just do what you want to do.
Don't worry about what anyone else thinks.
Thanks.
And I'm I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to, um, call your relationships "disasters.
" (CHUCKLES) Well, they are, so Maybe I just haven't met the right couple yet.
(CHUCKLES) Here.
This belongs in Black Betty.
Gollen Precious Metals.
Shoshonah told us this was the next broker they're hitting.
Only two of them now.
You think they'll still - go through with it? - They made a pact to steal back every single stone their parents died for, bringing at least some restitution to their families back home.
Yeah, and from what we've seen so far, even just two of these women, lethal enough to pull it off.
We know they'll shoot it out before just giving up.
Let's go.
They're hitting it at 4:00.
We'll be there at 2:00.
Any second now.
(GASPS) Don't shoot.
Don't shoot.
(GRUNTS) They're here.
Hondo, I have eyes on Cohen.
Moving heavy with back-up to the real target.
Shoshonah fed us a diversion.
Captain, what's your 20? Sixth and Broadway.
L.
C.
J.
Metals.
Roger that.
We're headed to you now.
Stop and lay down your weapons.
I said lay down your weapons.
- Where's our diamonds? - They came last night.
- Put them in the floor.
- Show us.
Lay down your weapons.
COHEN: Your suspects, they're, uh, they're inside.
I don't give third warnings and I don't shoot to wound.
- Jessica.
- Aviv.
Okay.
Okay.
Start walking.
(SIREN APPROACHING) Captain, you good? Yeah.
- (RAPID GUNFIRE) - Cover! Cover! Luca.
Smokes, strobes, noise whatever barricade gear we got.
I don't have the combination.
LAPD! Drop your weapons! LAPD has the place surrounded.
You got nowhere else to run.
(RAPID GUNFIRE) (GRUNTS) HONDO: Move, move! Sir, come with me.
(CHUCKLES) Anyone clock how much ammo they had? They've gone through a mag each already.
- They can't have much more.
- Yeah, well, it only takes one.
(GRUNTS) HONDO: Dania! Tori! Look, we know why you're here, and we know what happened to your parents.
Enough people have died over these rocks! Let's end this right now.
Is that thing charged? All the way.
Ears.
Luca, move, move.
Got it cranked to ten.
(HIGH-PITCHED SOUND SHRILLING) (SCREAMING) - (GRUNTS) - (SCREAMS) - LUCA: Suspects down! - DEACON: Move, move, move! LUCA: Go, go! Hands up! Don't move! (DANIA AND TORI PANTING) JESSICA: What happened to my phone call? To working with me? I have bosses, Jessica, same as you.
I don't question their orders, I just carry them out.
We recovered the diamonds.
Every stone.
If you kept your word, I would be handing them over to you right now.
Okay, so let's try and salvage our deal.
You got a deal when I let you walk away the first time.
You should be sitting in prison right now.
But I'm not.
Because one day you know you're gonna need me again.
I sent a copy over to Organized Crime.
They've been circling Farbrek for years.
Looks like a list of names of people of people who like donating to charity.
Yeah, but I'm sure it won't take long for them to match the names on that list to the blood diamonds they belong to.
Jessica, you don't have to do this.
Aviv, I told you.
In our line of work you need every friend you can get.
- And you just lost your best one.
- Jessica (SIGHS) Man, my ears are still ringing.
What'd you say? (BOTH LAUGH) You know, we all obsess over our losses, but we never celebrate the wins.
Two months ago.
A hostage barricade on the 101.
Meth-head from Carson, kidnapped his ex-girlfriend, he tried to get her to jump into the river.
You remember? Oh, yeah, we had to shut down the freeway for over two hours.
We had a lot of pissed off commuters that day.
The ex-girlfriend, you remember her? Yeah, yeah.
Nina.
Nina Dorin.
33.
Worked the deli counter at Von's, trying to take care of two kids on minimum wage.
All while being stalked by her tweaker ex.
He tried to kill her and you saved her life.
Yeah.
You know (SIGHS) I-I get why we hold on to the bad things that we have to do, but but hold on to the good things, too.
Moscow Mule, right? - You're not on call or anything? - CHRIS: Nope.
She did tell you everything.
TY: Kira couldn't stop talking about you, even after you told her off.
Maybe because you did tell her off.
(CHUCKLES) Not a fan of our vetting process.
Right.
Sorry.
We've just found that easing into that conversation is sometimes easier after you know one of us.
Yeah, I'm, uh, still trying - to wrap my head around all of this.
- TY: Right.
What exactly would I be to the two of you? Well, there's a physical aspect, of course.
We can have a lot of fun.
But, uh, ultimately, it's about so much more than sex for us.
We're interested in a real partner, the whole package.
And if I decide to do this what are the rules? Mm.
Okay, uh, well.
In the beginning, if we plan dates it's never between just two of us.
Initially, it's all about the trio.
Over time, we're gonna develop different dynamics with each other.
We're not the same person, so we're not all gonna have the same relationship.
Another rule is don't keep score.
- Mm.
- Like, "I slept with him twice, she needs to sleep with me twice.
" Just let things be what they are.
Don't over-think it.
And if you ever feel left out, you just ask for what you need.
We don't read minds.
KIRA: And if anyone is feeling jealous, just say so, and we'll figure out a way to rebalance.
TY: This only works if we all feel secure and valued.
Open and honest communication, it's key, our Golden Rule.
So what else do you want to know? LUCA: Talked to Hondo.
Never pegged you as the "run to teacher" type.
Luca, come on.
Don't tell me you haven't seen me giving 110% out there, but all you do is you dress me down, you dock me points Look, I'm taking my job as a SWAT candidate evaluator seriously.
Be honest with me.
Me going through the academy, am I just wasting my time? - You want honest? - Yeah.
If it were up to me, you would not be in the academy.
Okay? You had your spot, you had a spot that a hundred guys would kill for and you threw it away.
You're right.
But I'm not like you, Luca, okay? I didn't have a family to teach me what it means to be a part of something special.
I had to figure that out myself.
And I only did when I lost it.
Look, you've got more natural talent and intuition for this than guys with decades on the job.
But this is more than a job, it's a life.
And you can't take shortcuts.
I'm trying.
Seriously, I am trying.
All right, small arms training tomorrow, 0500.
If I was you, I'd finish up here, hit the sack.
- All right.
- That LRAD came in handy today.
I never thought you'd actually find the part to fix it.
Try not to run over it again.
Don't wanna get ahead Of myself Feeling things I've never felt Boom.
Chicken-rice casserole.
Ah, I hope those corners are extra crispy.
Come on, now.
Believe me, I know just how you like it.
Is this my recipe? - Why would I use anything but the best? - So, Daniel, when are you gonna tell me why you're really making me a home-cooked dinner, you know, out of the blue? What you mean? What? A man can't do something nice for his momma? Come on, now.
All right, you got me.
(SIGHS) Look, it's just, uh Momma, sometimes it's hard carrying out certain aspects of my job, and still being the man that you raised me to be.
In today's world, it's not easy being a man.
Mmm.
Only requires you to do one thing.
Oh, come on, Momma, don't say it.
Don't say it.
Well, make me a damn grandmother, already! - Ah, don't start with that right now.
- Don't you "don't start me.
" I'm not gonna live forever.
I want my grandkid boy or girl, it don't matter.
Why don't you talk to Winnie about some grandkids? I'm not talking to your sister, I'm talking to you.
(SIGHS) Daniel, whatever is bothering you, it's nothing that some good casserole and your momma can't help you solve.
(CHUCKLES) I know that's right.
Then come on and sit down, and let's eat.
- Yes, ma'am.
Yes ma'am.
- (CHUCKLES) Oh, me, oh, my, I can't explain She might just be my everything Oh, my, oh, my, I can't explain
