S.W.A.T. (2017) s04e02 Episode Script
Stakeout
Previously on "S.
W.
A.
T.
" We're not most people.
You and me, we already experienced our worst day.
When we were kids.
Can't argue that.
That kiss The mutual moment that we had? We're teammates.
That's all.
Is Jim Street single? I-I think you guys would be great together.
I'm not gonna be able to make it tonight.
This is important, Hondo.
Your friends are gonna be there and-and your folks.
I understand.
Nichelle, I am so sorry about the way I handled things the last time I saw you.
I'm not upset, Hondo.
It just clarified things.
Masks now? From the virus? Recommendations and protocols keep changing.
We're still getting info for it.
It's coronavirus.
Mayor's been on the phone with the CDC and the governor; She may have to shut the city down.
What does that mean for SWAT? It means the world's about to change.
14 minutes, this guy's still going strong.
Almost hit a car and a pedestrian a half mile back.
CHP's all set at the park entrance.
- Any word on what this guy jacked? - They didn't say.
Hope whatever he stole was worth it.
Go, go! Move, move! Spike strip is in position.
Whoa! He hung a right into the theme park! Headed north towards the dirt lot.
Oh, come on! I'm losing him in the dust.
Get down on the ground! Hands out in front where I can see 'em! On the ground! Roll an R/A.
Driver appears disoriented, possibly concussed.
We also got a totaled van and a bunch of stolen merchandise Disinfectant wipes, latex gloves, hospital masks and toilet paper.
Seriously, dude? This virus has people losing their damn minds.
Hey, Sybil, it's Hondo, dropping off our contribution.
Hondo.
Nichelle.
Hey.
I I didn't know When'd you get back to L.
A.
? Day before last.
With the pandemic, we had to cut the trip short.
Plenty to do back here, though, as you can see.
The place is looking really great.
Listen, I've been out there working, doing my thing.
Otherwise, I'd come over there and give you a big old squeeze.
- Bad idea.
I just got off a plane.
- Oh.
Still getting used to all the new guidelines.
Not sure my hands can take much more sanitizer.
Coming from the woman whose lotion budget's already through the roof.
Sybil said you've been stopping by, helping get things done.
Thanks.
Well, it's the least I can do.
Everything this place does for folks stuck at home with no groceries I mean, people are really scared out there right now.
Yeah.
Everyone around here has been calling it "the Rona.
" - Hmm.
- Maybe a nickname makes it less scary.
- Hmm.
- I imagine - you guys are as busy as ever.
- Oh, yeah.
Lot of us have been taking extra shifts, helping out in patrol.
You mean criminals didn't get the shutdown memo? Nah.
Nobody told 'em.
Stay safe, Hondo.
It's good to see you again.
It's really good to see you, too.
Hey, listen, I-I know it's been a while since we spoke, but, um, you know, once you get all settled in, I'd love a chance to speak to you for real.
- I mean, do you think we could do that? - Listen, Hondo I never felt right about how we left things.
It's okay.
You don't have to say anything about that.
Nichelle, you deserve an explanation.
Hondo, I met someone.
It's probably too early to say anything, but I just wanted to be up front.
Sure.
Sure, I appreciate that.
I'm sorry if I'm being presumptuous, but you should know, you don't owe me an explanation.
You don't owe me anything.
You're a great person.
So are you.
All right, I, uh, got to get going.
Um listen, if you ever need anything, just know that I'm around.
Thanks.
Okay.
Here are the new rules.
Employees receive temperature checks at the gate.
All common areas are to be sterilized hourly Officers are to wear gloves when detaining suspects.
We're doing all those things already.
It's the same list as last week.
Tests were supposed to be here five days ago.
City hall is pulling out all the stops against Sacramento to help out the cops.
When do you ever get to hear that from a union lawyer? I'm-I'm sorry.
Listen, COVID's got us all scrambling.
We're-we're down ten percent of SWAT officers to quarantine, not to mention the handful of officers that went to Germany before this whole thing started.
How's Luca doing over there? Ah, he's as good as he can be.
He's in lockdown like everybody else in Europe, so it's not exactly the sightseeing trip he had planned.
All right, just give him my best.
I promise we're doing everything we can on behalf of the office to get you guys tested.
Just hang in there.
How's the family? Well, I've only seen them on video these past six days.
Annie's brain surgery a couple years back Her immune system is I don't want to bring this thing home.
So I took up residence at the extended stay the LAPD set up.
Accommodations okay? A motel is a motel.
I just miss my family.
Fingers crossed, we hear something soon.
I'll keep you posted.
In Chechnya, we say, a man is only as strong as the house he builds.
Your organization gets paid to abduct, torture, and murder people.
You've destroyed hundreds of lives.
That makes you strong? It makes me good at my job.
Why are you smiling? I take pride in my work.
Don't you feel any respons? Enough of that.
Hondo, this is Agent Tori Prebble, Central Intelligence, case officer on their Salman Radek file.
It's good to meet you, Agent.
Been meeting a lot of people virtually since L.
A.
shut down.
Same.
It's already been a very long two weeks.
And I'm acting case officer, actually.
My boss is stuck in Prague.
The man on the screen is Salman Radek.
He's a crime lord turned fugitive.
His hit squad singlehandedly made kidnapping Chechnya's most lucrative export.
Yeah, I'm familiar.
He forced his men to compete to earn the highest ransom.
This is the only interview Radek ever gave.
Sat for it in 2012.
That's the same year he blew up that apartment building in Moscow, right? Same month.
Authorities thought they had him cornered, but nyet.
He hopped a flight to Istanbul.
We can place him in Budapest in 2016, and then Montreal two years later, but he's been underground ever since.
Our theory is that he has someone set up P.
O.
boxes wherever he is.
Helps him collect cash, keeps control of his operations via correspondence.
Now this was once rumored to be that someone Radek's former courier.
He's never been identified, but we refer to him as "The Mailman.
" Photo looks pretty dated.
It's nine years old.
It's the only thing we had until a couple hours ago when a tip came in.
Mailman's allegedly been spotted two days in a row at a newspaper stand downtown.
Radek's courier's in L.
A.
? That's why I'm talking to you.
With the pandemic messing up travel, my bosses can't find a team in time.
We need SWAT to run surveillance on the newsstand.
Well, say we do find him.
Are we even sure that he's still in touch with Salman Radek anymore? When it comes to Radek, we're not sure about anything, but it's our first shot at him in at least five years.
And maybe your last.
Check out beanie guy.
He's got the right build.
Street, grab another magazine if he's got potential.
Flip a page if not.
Wrong eyes.
Is that The Mailman? I'm not sure.
I can't see his face.
Novaya Times.
Russian newspaper.
Hopscotch.
You got it? Keep it loose.
We don't want him suspecting anything.
Sorry, man.
Sorry.
My bad.
Tan, you get it? Uploaded.
Looks like a clean shot.
Facial software's doing its thing.
Yup.
That's the third time they called.
Either you answer it, or I will.
What's he doing? He's got himself a rideshare, but he's taking his time, being careful.
85%.
It's got to be him.
This guy's The Mailman.
Cut him off.
Relax.
I'm walking here.
You could have hit me! I'm not moving.
Be there as soon as I can.
It was a success.
Tracker's on the car.
We're on his tail.
Everything okay? I just spoke to an Officer Schmidt.
My mom was involved in an altercation.
- She's hurt.
- Go.
Go, get out of here.
Well, looks like your guy's keeping his distance.
Well, it's hard to be covert without cars on the road.
Deacon's a pro.
Good, because what we know about The Mailman, he's always on edge.
What are the odds this guy's still in Radek's orbit? We're not even sure that Radek has an orbit.
Half the division at Langley thinks he's dead.
You agree with your colleagues? Well, I came up in surveillance tech.
Not as an ops officer.
There's a reason they're there and I'm here.
I think Radek's alive.
And I want to find his ass.
Give me a sec.
What's the latest, Deac? The Mailman was just dropped off at a gated residence.
303 Coralberry Road could be where Radek's laying low.
Got the property record.
It's owned by an LLC in Bermuda.
Looks like they paid for a landline, too.
Tell him I'll meet him there.
I can help us get tapped in.
Deac, stay put until he makes a move.
- Reinforcements are on the way.
- Roger that.
Hey, Mom.
- You okay? - Hold up, sir.
I told the officer not to call you.
I thought she would let me go home if she knew my son was a police officer.
She said there was an altercation.
- Who did this to you? - I don't want to talk about it.
Hey, I'm Officer Tan.
We spoke earlier.
- Who the hell hit her? - We don't know.
Suspect was gone by the time we got here.
Building picked it up on their security camera.
Video and audio.
What are you trying to buy in here? - Answer me, lady.
- Food for dinner.
- Excuse me.
- Bats? You making bat soup tonight? Please, just go away.
Me go away? How about you go away?! How about you go back to China and take all your filthy diseases with you?! Video didn't show what vehicle he left in.
Who's out chasing this guy down? - Nobody, not right now.
- Why the hell not? Your mom won't press charges.
Even if she did, we don't have anything else to go on.
Awful as this is, there's not much we can do.
You're a cop.
You know all this, right? Fine.
I'll take things from here.
Hey, come on, Mom.
We're gonna go home, okay? This place is a compound.
The Mailman guy's blasting the local news at full volume.
He's either trying to drown out his voice or he's running an unlicensed nursing home.
Hey.
Maybe we can lift prints from this? You really think he's hiding Radek inside somewhere? I don't know.
He's got to be hiding something; Otherwise, why burn all your trash bin-Laden style? Hey, Deac, I'm not even getting one cell signal from the house.
That's strange.
We're tapping into the landline in a minute.
Roger.
Still no heat signature.
We know The Mailman's in there.
We should be getting something.
Maybe the machine's malfunctioning.
No, it's working.
Maybe they got some kind of coating on the walls or something that blocks heat signatures.
I've never heard of that.
Yeah, me, either.
Street, look.
There's a boy in the yard.
A boy? How old? Uh, maybe nine, ten? He's got some serious bruises.
Someone in there is roughing this kid up.
Mischa, where'd you go? Get back in here! It's a landline.
- Are y'all picking this up? - Roger.
It's an outbound call.
Can you see the number that's being dialed? Yeah.
He's calling a restaurant Fetterman's Deli.
It's a restaurant in the Valley.
Just found the menu online.
Deacon, get her on that line.
Connect 24-David to the call.
Yeah.
Come on.
Come on, come on, come on.
Hello? Come on, come on.
You're patched.
Hello? Anyone there? Fetterman's.
- May I take your order? - I want takeout.
Three number sixes, two number sevens.
How many kabobs come in your deluxe combo platter? Four.
I want two combo platters.
Awful lot of food for no heat signals.
He's got a whole crew in there.
Is that everything? We've got a free delivery special today.
No.
I said "takeout.
" I'll come pick it up.
- It's free.
- No.
Okay.
Uh, can I get a name? John.
I'll be there in 20 minutes.
Chris, go.
Tan's on his way back.
I'll have him meet you there.
Mic fit inside the container? Yup.
Can't even tell it's there.
There's another man in the car.
It's not Radek.
He looks too young.
They're both wearing masks.
Just point the camera at their faces.
Hi.
You John? There you go.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I don't have change for a hundred on me.
- Do you mind waiting? - Keep the change.
Are you sure? It'll only take a second.
- Forget it.
- Thank you.
She's got his eyes, but that might not be enough.
If we can't identify someone in that house, the only thing we got tying these people to Radek is secondhand intel and a nine-year-old photo.
Wait a minute.
Commander, check it out.
We just got the name of the passenger.
Timur Basarov.
Well, it looks like Timur's a wanted man in Saint Petersburg.
Sir, you see that stamp? That's his regimental insignia.
He's a Chechen soldier.
In the Second Chechen War, a unit of rebels branded themselves "The Lone Wolf.
" And they were led by Salman Radek.
Anything since they got back, Deac? They're talking really quietly.
But at least we can hear their conversations now.
Two male voices, possibly three.
If one's The Mailman, and one's this soldier, - you think the third could be Radek? - I'm not sure.
Prebble's translating now.
Uh, one of the men is getting angry.
He says he's gonna leave.
He's walking out.
Street, you get that? Roger.
Staying low.
Timur's behind the wheel.
The soldier.
He turned the other way earlier.
Heads up for a drive-by, Deac.
All right, let's pack it up.
Wonder where he's headed.
Just keep your head down.
- Be cool.
Let's go.
- Yeah.
Damn it! It's all right.
It's all right.
Listen.
We're just a couple of power workers who dropped some stuff.
- It's no biggie.
Just pick it up.
- Okay.
I got it.
Hey, hold on.
Hold on.
He knows.
If he gets back to the house, we're done.
It's only a matter of time before they realize he hasn't come back.
We got to fix this.
We got to get him out of here.
Yeah, Deac.
You got anything? Yeah, we got something.
We got a Chechen soldier.
Bring his ass down here.
How many people are in that house? You ordered a hell of a lot of food for only two guys.
Being hungry a crime? Is Radek in L.
A.
? - What if he is? - Tell me if Radek is in that house.
Why don't you ring the doorbell and find out? Answering every question with a question.
Well, he's running out the clock.
He knows if he stalls long enough, his buddies will wonder where he is, figure something's up and bolt.
It won't be long before they realize we have him.
Sir, there may be a way to explain his absence so the people in that house don't start asking questions in the first place.
Hey.
Luca's brother really came through for us.
Yeah.
Terry's got real connections in the news world.
He had two stations in a bidding war for this accident footage.
Just hope the guys in that house buy it.
Forensics is gonna send a report to us as soon as they get it.
They combed through the SUV before we had it towed.
I just got it.
Item eight Electronic key fob with handwritten letters.
- "RUS.
" - Yeah.
Detective found it under the driver's seat.
Thinks it's at least 20 years old.
He figures it's Russian.
The number "28" is on the back.
All right, Deac, why don't you grab this key fob out of evidence? Head over to Rob Ulmer Storage.
Place is ancient.
"R-U-S.
" You never know.
All right, sure thing.
Hey, thanks for calling me back.
Yeah, of course.
What's going on? A lady I worked with last week in New Orleans is sick now.
Fever, deep cough.
She's waiting on COVID test results.
Thought I should tell you since we were in the same room together.
Oh, wow.
Thank you for that.
I appreciate it.
They're keeping a pretty close eye on us over here.
Trust me.
But I'll stay careful.
Are you okay? You're not feeling sick, are you? No, not at all.
But I'm gonna quarantine for a while just to be safe.
I'm sorry to hear that.
What are you gonna do about tonight? Who's gonna drop off the food for the folks stuck inside? Well, everyone's gonna get their meals.
Just might not be tonight.
Why don't you let me handle that? You already have so much going on with work.
If I have to work, I'll just get somebody else to deliver the food for me.
I know Darryl would love to help out.
Girl, will you let me be useful? Yeah, okay.
That's, uh, so kind of you.
Thank you so much, Hondo.
Any time.
Just take care of yourself.
Bye.
I heard something happened to your Mom.
She okay? She got attacked by some racists at a market blaming her for coronavirus.
Knocked her down so hard, she needs stitches.
It's all on tape.
Wow.
I'm so sorry.
I mean, they should be able to catch the guy.
They got it on video, right? No, she won't press charges, so they're not even looking for him.
I called in a favor with a buddy in video forensics.
I'll find him, make sure he knows what's what.
Hey, I get it, I do, but just try to stay in control on this, all right? That's easy for you to say.
It wasn't your Mom.
This where he was headed before you stopped him? It's the operating theory.
Here we go Storage unit 28.
Let's see if that key fob works.
Major firepower.
Yeah, but not enough left to warrant a return trip.
Look at that.
The sandwich is still fresh.
- Someone's been staying here.
- Who? The Mailman? We've had eyes on him all day.
That doesn't add up.
Unless Radek's never been to that house in the first place.
You think Radek's been staying here? Kid sure likes playing Combat Town.
You can hear the TV.
Listen.
Unidentified driver is undergoing surgery at L.
A.
County Hospital.
Think they buy it.
There'd be a lot more commotion in there if they didn't.
How's it going with you and Molly - locking down in separate place? - Actually, uh, since she's working from home, we're locking down together from her place for now.
It felt like the next step.
We're just doing it a little sooner, you know? If I ask you something, promise not to take it the wrong way? Sure.
What is it about Molly for you? Like, what made it the right connection for you? Uh, you know, she's selfless.
Thoughtful.
- Smart as hell.
Good heart.
- Sure, but you didn't know any of that when you first met.
She's beautiful, obviously, but at the beginning what did you see in her? Well, I guess I've always just been a risk-taker, and Molly Hicks seemed like a risk worth taking.
Why? Those bruises.
You see the handprints? An adult did that, and they're fresh.
I always hated going to school after my Dad hit me.
Especially in the places you can't hide.
Mischa! Where are you? - We got to get him out of there.
- Street, we got different orders.
- Screw orders.
This is a hurt kid.
- Hey.
I know it sucks, but we can't move in until we're sure Radek's inside, all right? Aren't there rumors that he's diabetic? What's the word from the CIA? Well, Prebble thinks it's promising.
Unis are chasing down the owner of the storage facility - for the security footage.
- Yeah, good luck with that.
Sir, Rob Ulmer died in '88.
Junior's in Orlando, and their security system's like a six iron.
Well, other than that, it's a hell of a plan.
Come on, Commander.
You think Salman Radek is really hanging out in storage lockers? I guess his travel plans could have changed when flights shut down, left him in between hideouts.
We don't even know yet why he'd be in L.
A.
Commander, a guy that big, I just can't see him crashing on the floor of a storage locker.
Plus, the guys in that house are way too quiet.
I'm betting that Radek is in there.
- Yeah, Street, what's up? Talk to me.
- The kid in the house is getting the crap beat out of him.
We got to pull him.
Hey, lower your voice, Street.
Do not blow this op.
Someone in that house is using insulin.
If Radek's diabetic, it's got to be him.
That is not proof, kid.
No.
Not yet.
My first day of kindergarten, you know what I remember? My mom putting makeup on my chin to cover up my Dad's crappy weekend.
We can help this boy, Hondo.
We are not authorized to raid until we know for a fact that Radek's in that house.
That means actual photographic or DNA proof, Street.
This conversation is over.
Just let me slip through the gate.
I can signal him.
Okay, you know what? That's it.
Your shift is done.
You get your ass back here to HQ right now.
I'm taking your spot.
Radek ever come out for some fresh air? He's lived on the run a long time.
- Guess he's disciplined.
- Yeah, still, they got a huge yard.
You'd think he'd want some sunshine.
As high as the FAA allows, Tan.
Going all the way up.
Extended Stays ain't the Taj Mahal, huh? Deac, it's got to be tough not being able to go home - and see Annie and the kids.
- Yeah.
It's been pretty rough.
Slim chance I'll be getting tested on a regular basis anytime soon, so makes it even harder on my family.
Hey, I meant to tell you, it's really great stuff you're doing at the community center.
Lot of people struggling right now.
- Yeah.
- I'm guessing you, uh, you got back together with the woman that runs the place? No, Deac.
She, uh Apparently, she's seeing some other dude now.
Before she left, uh I just keep replaying our last conversation over and over in my head, and I got to admit, I screwed that all up.
Well, if it's eating at you, maybe you still got something to say.
I don't know, Deac.
I just I care about her too much to confuse things for her.
It's never too late to tell someone you care about that you messed up.
What's that on the roof? It's an industrial-size AC unit.
That is overkill for a house that size.
Do you think that if that unit is consistently pumping cold air within the exterior walls, that's what's blocking our thermal reader? Acting as a shield? That'd be some advanced countersurveillance.
It's like they got somebody to hide.
How familiar are you with industrial units like that? Well, not enough to repair one.
But I bet I could break it.
Hey, Commander.
What's up? Hondo wanted me back here to check on something.
Anything to do with this? "Syringe contained no DNA sufficient for testing.
" Without Radek's DNA, there's no proof he's inside.
Guess that's why they burn their trash.
Well, there's no proof he's not inside, either.
His DNA didn't show up on that storage locker.
Iryna Melnik, 17.
Flew over here from Belarus before the flights shut down.
Said she was here for an arranged marriage.
That's who was sleeping in the storage locker? Cops picked her up a mile from Rob Ulmer Storage.
Apparently, she was told to wait there, but she must have panicked and fled.
The CIA thinks she came to L.
A.
to be Radek's next wife.
Keep at it.
It's a new guy.
It's gonna take him a minute to burn everything.
Let me know when he comes back this way.
Deacon, freeze.
The Mailman's right below you.
Tarkhan? Tarkhan? He forgot his lighter.
Deac, he's coming back now.
Made it.
All right, Mr.
Fix-it Man, go to town.
Yeah, it's just what I thought.
42 degrees.
You did it, Deac.
They're lighting up.
All right, we got six bodies on my count.
Four in the front of the house, two in the back.
You see that movement on the back side? Yeah.
What's going on in there? Someone's serving the man in the back room.
Yeah, what's up, Street? The kid in the house is probably playing - his video game right now.
- Hey, that's enough.
Talking about the kid ain't gonna help him, Street.
No, I mean, I might have a way to prove Radek's in that house.
Tan, how's it coming? Give me a sec.
Okay.
I just lost.
- Kid replied.
- Keep him talking, Tan.
All right, I sent it.
All right, let's get the drone in position.
Roger that.
All right, he's in the room.
The man still appears to be sleeping.
Are you ready? Good to go.
Photo should be processing now, Commander.
We got him.
Yeah.
Before we go in, I'm sorry for losing my cool.
Okay, but you keep your focus, Street.
The real work hasn't started yet.
Chris, you good? - Ready when you are.
- All right, listen up.
We got five armed adult males and one child at risk inside.
We think Radek's in the back room, east side.
Now we're taking them by surprise, so I need every access point covered.
- Everyone clear on their orders? Clear.
- Clear.
I'm clear.
I know.
Let's go.
20-David to all perimeter units.
Let me know when you're set.
- 24-David and 26-David set.
- On my command.
Three, two, one.
LAPD! We got the house surrounded! Armed suspect just ran out of the house.
Three-side, heading south.
I'm on it.
Police! Put the weapon down! Out in the hallway! Step out slowly! Hands where I can see them.
On your knees! Get on your knees! Hands behind your head.
Where's Radek? Mischa, wait.
Hey.
I'm a policeman.
Run outside to the yard.
Come on.
You'll be safe there.
Mischa.
Hey.
Hey.
Come.
Come here.
Daddy wants to talk to you.
These men want to hurt us.
Come on.
Down on the ground! Drop the weapon! Do not move! Show me your hands! Get outside, kid.
Go! LAPD.
Hands above your head.
Turn around.
On your knees.
Hands behind your head.
Chris, I got two guys zip-tied in the south hall.
We've got our target.
It's Radek.
Good job, Deac.
Well done.
Great work.
Well, I told you they were the best.
Photo's uploading, Commander.
That's a look-alike.
That's not Salman Radek.
Radek's got to be somewhere on this side of the house.
Tan, switch the eyes in the sky back into thermal.
Roger that.
There's someone moving your way from inside the house, Hondo.
He's just on the other side of your wall.
Is he headed east? No, he's moving exactly parallel to you and he's got a gun.
Well, one man down, it must be Radek.
How close is he to the door? Five seconds.
Three, two, one.
Stay down.
Stay down! Target apprehended.
Radek in custody.
Looks like Radek's wedding is off.
According to one of his men, they were supposed to leave together a few days ago, but he got spooked when travel was shut down and figured he'd try to wait it out.
That's the social worker assigned to help the kid.
She said he came here from Chechnya three years ago after his mom died.
Molly said she'll try to pull some strings.
We know some great homes that'll help keep him on track.
That's-that's cool of her.
Hey, uh, Molly and I were talking, and the news is saying as long as your friends follow the guidelines, people can still hang out.
Like, in a pod.
Sounds more like coffee than a real plan.
Yeah, I know, but, uh, if you're ever down, - I'd love to have you over.
- Maybe next time.
- See you tomorrow.
- Cool.
See you then.
You Oliver Davis? I got a question for you.
If you think you'll get COVID from an Asian American who's lived in the U.
S.
for 30 years, why not leave her alone? Who are you? The son of the woman you attacked outside the market.
- What woman? - Her name's Fei.
She was born in China, but she loves this country and she's given it everything, including two sons: A doctor and a cop.
What have you done, huh? Besides taunt people who don't look like you? Give an old woman stitches? We got video of what you did.
Even worse for you, I'm the cop.
I didn't do anything.
She tripped.
Yeah, there you go.
Now you remember.
Hey, stay right there, ma'am.
LAPD.
What'd my brother do? Doesn't concern you.
- He's sick, you know.
- Don't play the virus card.
I didn't mean for her to fall.
You can't arrest me.
Oliver, whatever you did, I don't have cash until next week to bail you out.
So you might have to be in jail over the weekend.
He was in a motorcycle accident 18 years ago and he's never been He's mentally ill.
Hey, look, I know about mental illness.
I also know what your brother said to my Mom didn't come out of nowhere.
He may not have the mental capacity to know better, but you do.
Go.
So what kind of crap are you saying around him? Hey, Commander, what are you doing here? Well, you seemed pretty upset when you left.
Deacon filled me in on what happened with your Mom.
Think I was gonna do something stupid? Never crossed my mind.
But I thought maybe if you did do something stupid, I'd come by and stop you.
I told her it wasn't easy for Matthew to concentrate with 15 other kids on the screen, and you know, I can't look after him the whole time.
- So Hold on.
- Mommy! - I'm waiting! - Hey, honey? I told you we need some Mom and Dad time, okay? Annie, it's okay.
If you got to go handle it, we'll talk later.
You sure? I'm - I'm sorry.
- No, no.
No problem.
Just give me a call at bedtime, all right? I promised Lila we'd get to chapter nine of Charlotte's Web.
Okay.
We all miss you so much.
Miss you, too.
Love you guys.
Love you, too.
Hey, Nichelle.
Oh, you're already there.
I was hoping to catch you before you - Is everything all right? - My friend in New Orleans, her test came back negative, so I don't have to quarantine after all.
I can cover tonight, so please go, enjoy your time off.
And thank you so much.
Nichelle, that's great news.
Sorry you went all the way over there.
No, come on, don't be.
I actually got a lot done already, so I'll lock up before you get here.
Um, hey, uh, do you have a minute? Um, there's something I really need to say to you, and I'm just glad that I can see your face.
Sure.
You okay? Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm okay.
Yeah, I'm okay, I just, um I wasn't.
Um, before you left, you said me and you want different things.
And I get why you said that.
I do.
It's just, you know, it-it ain't easy when someone holds a mirror up to your face and you don't see the man that you want to be.
Look, Nichelle, when I was a kid, you know, I'd see married couples holding hands, you know, laughing together and But I was always just like, "Damn," you know, "My parents they just, they got it wrong.
" And I think fear of repeating their mistakes, it messed me and my sister's head up for 30 years.
You know? But for me, all that time, I mean, I guess I just felt that the rest of my life was moving along well enough that I didn't really see it as a problem.
Until I lost you.
Listen, Hondo No, no, no.
Seriously.
You don't have to say anything.
I know it's too late, and and you've met someone else.
I ain't gonna lie, I really wish you hadn't, but you did.
I just want to tell you I'm sorry.
I'm-I'm sorry for being so afraid when we were together, and letting you down with your parents, because I know I hurt you and I am sorry.
The time that I had with you, it it changed how I look at life.
It It changed what I want for myself.
What I'm trying to say to you is because of you holding me accountable, I'm actually at a better place in my life than I was, and I just want to thank you for that.
So Good night, Nichelle.
Good night, Hondo.
W.
A.
T.
" We're not most people.
You and me, we already experienced our worst day.
When we were kids.
Can't argue that.
That kiss The mutual moment that we had? We're teammates.
That's all.
Is Jim Street single? I-I think you guys would be great together.
I'm not gonna be able to make it tonight.
This is important, Hondo.
Your friends are gonna be there and-and your folks.
I understand.
Nichelle, I am so sorry about the way I handled things the last time I saw you.
I'm not upset, Hondo.
It just clarified things.
Masks now? From the virus? Recommendations and protocols keep changing.
We're still getting info for it.
It's coronavirus.
Mayor's been on the phone with the CDC and the governor; She may have to shut the city down.
What does that mean for SWAT? It means the world's about to change.
14 minutes, this guy's still going strong.
Almost hit a car and a pedestrian a half mile back.
CHP's all set at the park entrance.
- Any word on what this guy jacked? - They didn't say.
Hope whatever he stole was worth it.
Go, go! Move, move! Spike strip is in position.
Whoa! He hung a right into the theme park! Headed north towards the dirt lot.
Oh, come on! I'm losing him in the dust.
Get down on the ground! Hands out in front where I can see 'em! On the ground! Roll an R/A.
Driver appears disoriented, possibly concussed.
We also got a totaled van and a bunch of stolen merchandise Disinfectant wipes, latex gloves, hospital masks and toilet paper.
Seriously, dude? This virus has people losing their damn minds.
Hey, Sybil, it's Hondo, dropping off our contribution.
Hondo.
Nichelle.
Hey.
I I didn't know When'd you get back to L.
A.
? Day before last.
With the pandemic, we had to cut the trip short.
Plenty to do back here, though, as you can see.
The place is looking really great.
Listen, I've been out there working, doing my thing.
Otherwise, I'd come over there and give you a big old squeeze.
- Bad idea.
I just got off a plane.
- Oh.
Still getting used to all the new guidelines.
Not sure my hands can take much more sanitizer.
Coming from the woman whose lotion budget's already through the roof.
Sybil said you've been stopping by, helping get things done.
Thanks.
Well, it's the least I can do.
Everything this place does for folks stuck at home with no groceries I mean, people are really scared out there right now.
Yeah.
Everyone around here has been calling it "the Rona.
" - Hmm.
- Maybe a nickname makes it less scary.
- Hmm.
- I imagine - you guys are as busy as ever.
- Oh, yeah.
Lot of us have been taking extra shifts, helping out in patrol.
You mean criminals didn't get the shutdown memo? Nah.
Nobody told 'em.
Stay safe, Hondo.
It's good to see you again.
It's really good to see you, too.
Hey, listen, I-I know it's been a while since we spoke, but, um, you know, once you get all settled in, I'd love a chance to speak to you for real.
- I mean, do you think we could do that? - Listen, Hondo I never felt right about how we left things.
It's okay.
You don't have to say anything about that.
Nichelle, you deserve an explanation.
Hondo, I met someone.
It's probably too early to say anything, but I just wanted to be up front.
Sure.
Sure, I appreciate that.
I'm sorry if I'm being presumptuous, but you should know, you don't owe me an explanation.
You don't owe me anything.
You're a great person.
So are you.
All right, I, uh, got to get going.
Um listen, if you ever need anything, just know that I'm around.
Thanks.
Okay.
Here are the new rules.
Employees receive temperature checks at the gate.
All common areas are to be sterilized hourly Officers are to wear gloves when detaining suspects.
We're doing all those things already.
It's the same list as last week.
Tests were supposed to be here five days ago.
City hall is pulling out all the stops against Sacramento to help out the cops.
When do you ever get to hear that from a union lawyer? I'm-I'm sorry.
Listen, COVID's got us all scrambling.
We're-we're down ten percent of SWAT officers to quarantine, not to mention the handful of officers that went to Germany before this whole thing started.
How's Luca doing over there? Ah, he's as good as he can be.
He's in lockdown like everybody else in Europe, so it's not exactly the sightseeing trip he had planned.
All right, just give him my best.
I promise we're doing everything we can on behalf of the office to get you guys tested.
Just hang in there.
How's the family? Well, I've only seen them on video these past six days.
Annie's brain surgery a couple years back Her immune system is I don't want to bring this thing home.
So I took up residence at the extended stay the LAPD set up.
Accommodations okay? A motel is a motel.
I just miss my family.
Fingers crossed, we hear something soon.
I'll keep you posted.
In Chechnya, we say, a man is only as strong as the house he builds.
Your organization gets paid to abduct, torture, and murder people.
You've destroyed hundreds of lives.
That makes you strong? It makes me good at my job.
Why are you smiling? I take pride in my work.
Don't you feel any respons? Enough of that.
Hondo, this is Agent Tori Prebble, Central Intelligence, case officer on their Salman Radek file.
It's good to meet you, Agent.
Been meeting a lot of people virtually since L.
A.
shut down.
Same.
It's already been a very long two weeks.
And I'm acting case officer, actually.
My boss is stuck in Prague.
The man on the screen is Salman Radek.
He's a crime lord turned fugitive.
His hit squad singlehandedly made kidnapping Chechnya's most lucrative export.
Yeah, I'm familiar.
He forced his men to compete to earn the highest ransom.
This is the only interview Radek ever gave.
Sat for it in 2012.
That's the same year he blew up that apartment building in Moscow, right? Same month.
Authorities thought they had him cornered, but nyet.
He hopped a flight to Istanbul.
We can place him in Budapest in 2016, and then Montreal two years later, but he's been underground ever since.
Our theory is that he has someone set up P.
O.
boxes wherever he is.
Helps him collect cash, keeps control of his operations via correspondence.
Now this was once rumored to be that someone Radek's former courier.
He's never been identified, but we refer to him as "The Mailman.
" Photo looks pretty dated.
It's nine years old.
It's the only thing we had until a couple hours ago when a tip came in.
Mailman's allegedly been spotted two days in a row at a newspaper stand downtown.
Radek's courier's in L.
A.
? That's why I'm talking to you.
With the pandemic messing up travel, my bosses can't find a team in time.
We need SWAT to run surveillance on the newsstand.
Well, say we do find him.
Are we even sure that he's still in touch with Salman Radek anymore? When it comes to Radek, we're not sure about anything, but it's our first shot at him in at least five years.
And maybe your last.
Check out beanie guy.
He's got the right build.
Street, grab another magazine if he's got potential.
Flip a page if not.
Wrong eyes.
Is that The Mailman? I'm not sure.
I can't see his face.
Novaya Times.
Russian newspaper.
Hopscotch.
You got it? Keep it loose.
We don't want him suspecting anything.
Sorry, man.
Sorry.
My bad.
Tan, you get it? Uploaded.
Looks like a clean shot.
Facial software's doing its thing.
Yup.
That's the third time they called.
Either you answer it, or I will.
What's he doing? He's got himself a rideshare, but he's taking his time, being careful.
85%.
It's got to be him.
This guy's The Mailman.
Cut him off.
Relax.
I'm walking here.
You could have hit me! I'm not moving.
Be there as soon as I can.
It was a success.
Tracker's on the car.
We're on his tail.
Everything okay? I just spoke to an Officer Schmidt.
My mom was involved in an altercation.
- She's hurt.
- Go.
Go, get out of here.
Well, looks like your guy's keeping his distance.
Well, it's hard to be covert without cars on the road.
Deacon's a pro.
Good, because what we know about The Mailman, he's always on edge.
What are the odds this guy's still in Radek's orbit? We're not even sure that Radek has an orbit.
Half the division at Langley thinks he's dead.
You agree with your colleagues? Well, I came up in surveillance tech.
Not as an ops officer.
There's a reason they're there and I'm here.
I think Radek's alive.
And I want to find his ass.
Give me a sec.
What's the latest, Deac? The Mailman was just dropped off at a gated residence.
303 Coralberry Road could be where Radek's laying low.
Got the property record.
It's owned by an LLC in Bermuda.
Looks like they paid for a landline, too.
Tell him I'll meet him there.
I can help us get tapped in.
Deac, stay put until he makes a move.
- Reinforcements are on the way.
- Roger that.
Hey, Mom.
- You okay? - Hold up, sir.
I told the officer not to call you.
I thought she would let me go home if she knew my son was a police officer.
She said there was an altercation.
- Who did this to you? - I don't want to talk about it.
Hey, I'm Officer Tan.
We spoke earlier.
- Who the hell hit her? - We don't know.
Suspect was gone by the time we got here.
Building picked it up on their security camera.
Video and audio.
What are you trying to buy in here? - Answer me, lady.
- Food for dinner.
- Excuse me.
- Bats? You making bat soup tonight? Please, just go away.
Me go away? How about you go away?! How about you go back to China and take all your filthy diseases with you?! Video didn't show what vehicle he left in.
Who's out chasing this guy down? - Nobody, not right now.
- Why the hell not? Your mom won't press charges.
Even if she did, we don't have anything else to go on.
Awful as this is, there's not much we can do.
You're a cop.
You know all this, right? Fine.
I'll take things from here.
Hey, come on, Mom.
We're gonna go home, okay? This place is a compound.
The Mailman guy's blasting the local news at full volume.
He's either trying to drown out his voice or he's running an unlicensed nursing home.
Hey.
Maybe we can lift prints from this? You really think he's hiding Radek inside somewhere? I don't know.
He's got to be hiding something; Otherwise, why burn all your trash bin-Laden style? Hey, Deac, I'm not even getting one cell signal from the house.
That's strange.
We're tapping into the landline in a minute.
Roger.
Still no heat signature.
We know The Mailman's in there.
We should be getting something.
Maybe the machine's malfunctioning.
No, it's working.
Maybe they got some kind of coating on the walls or something that blocks heat signatures.
I've never heard of that.
Yeah, me, either.
Street, look.
There's a boy in the yard.
A boy? How old? Uh, maybe nine, ten? He's got some serious bruises.
Someone in there is roughing this kid up.
Mischa, where'd you go? Get back in here! It's a landline.
- Are y'all picking this up? - Roger.
It's an outbound call.
Can you see the number that's being dialed? Yeah.
He's calling a restaurant Fetterman's Deli.
It's a restaurant in the Valley.
Just found the menu online.
Deacon, get her on that line.
Connect 24-David to the call.
Yeah.
Come on.
Come on, come on, come on.
Hello? Come on, come on.
You're patched.
Hello? Anyone there? Fetterman's.
- May I take your order? - I want takeout.
Three number sixes, two number sevens.
How many kabobs come in your deluxe combo platter? Four.
I want two combo platters.
Awful lot of food for no heat signals.
He's got a whole crew in there.
Is that everything? We've got a free delivery special today.
No.
I said "takeout.
" I'll come pick it up.
- It's free.
- No.
Okay.
Uh, can I get a name? John.
I'll be there in 20 minutes.
Chris, go.
Tan's on his way back.
I'll have him meet you there.
Mic fit inside the container? Yup.
Can't even tell it's there.
There's another man in the car.
It's not Radek.
He looks too young.
They're both wearing masks.
Just point the camera at their faces.
Hi.
You John? There you go.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I don't have change for a hundred on me.
- Do you mind waiting? - Keep the change.
Are you sure? It'll only take a second.
- Forget it.
- Thank you.
She's got his eyes, but that might not be enough.
If we can't identify someone in that house, the only thing we got tying these people to Radek is secondhand intel and a nine-year-old photo.
Wait a minute.
Commander, check it out.
We just got the name of the passenger.
Timur Basarov.
Well, it looks like Timur's a wanted man in Saint Petersburg.
Sir, you see that stamp? That's his regimental insignia.
He's a Chechen soldier.
In the Second Chechen War, a unit of rebels branded themselves "The Lone Wolf.
" And they were led by Salman Radek.
Anything since they got back, Deac? They're talking really quietly.
But at least we can hear their conversations now.
Two male voices, possibly three.
If one's The Mailman, and one's this soldier, - you think the third could be Radek? - I'm not sure.
Prebble's translating now.
Uh, one of the men is getting angry.
He says he's gonna leave.
He's walking out.
Street, you get that? Roger.
Staying low.
Timur's behind the wheel.
The soldier.
He turned the other way earlier.
Heads up for a drive-by, Deac.
All right, let's pack it up.
Wonder where he's headed.
Just keep your head down.
- Be cool.
Let's go.
- Yeah.
Damn it! It's all right.
It's all right.
Listen.
We're just a couple of power workers who dropped some stuff.
- It's no biggie.
Just pick it up.
- Okay.
I got it.
Hey, hold on.
Hold on.
He knows.
If he gets back to the house, we're done.
It's only a matter of time before they realize he hasn't come back.
We got to fix this.
We got to get him out of here.
Yeah, Deac.
You got anything? Yeah, we got something.
We got a Chechen soldier.
Bring his ass down here.
How many people are in that house? You ordered a hell of a lot of food for only two guys.
Being hungry a crime? Is Radek in L.
A.
? - What if he is? - Tell me if Radek is in that house.
Why don't you ring the doorbell and find out? Answering every question with a question.
Well, he's running out the clock.
He knows if he stalls long enough, his buddies will wonder where he is, figure something's up and bolt.
It won't be long before they realize we have him.
Sir, there may be a way to explain his absence so the people in that house don't start asking questions in the first place.
Hey.
Luca's brother really came through for us.
Yeah.
Terry's got real connections in the news world.
He had two stations in a bidding war for this accident footage.
Just hope the guys in that house buy it.
Forensics is gonna send a report to us as soon as they get it.
They combed through the SUV before we had it towed.
I just got it.
Item eight Electronic key fob with handwritten letters.
- "RUS.
" - Yeah.
Detective found it under the driver's seat.
Thinks it's at least 20 years old.
He figures it's Russian.
The number "28" is on the back.
All right, Deac, why don't you grab this key fob out of evidence? Head over to Rob Ulmer Storage.
Place is ancient.
"R-U-S.
" You never know.
All right, sure thing.
Hey, thanks for calling me back.
Yeah, of course.
What's going on? A lady I worked with last week in New Orleans is sick now.
Fever, deep cough.
She's waiting on COVID test results.
Thought I should tell you since we were in the same room together.
Oh, wow.
Thank you for that.
I appreciate it.
They're keeping a pretty close eye on us over here.
Trust me.
But I'll stay careful.
Are you okay? You're not feeling sick, are you? No, not at all.
But I'm gonna quarantine for a while just to be safe.
I'm sorry to hear that.
What are you gonna do about tonight? Who's gonna drop off the food for the folks stuck inside? Well, everyone's gonna get their meals.
Just might not be tonight.
Why don't you let me handle that? You already have so much going on with work.
If I have to work, I'll just get somebody else to deliver the food for me.
I know Darryl would love to help out.
Girl, will you let me be useful? Yeah, okay.
That's, uh, so kind of you.
Thank you so much, Hondo.
Any time.
Just take care of yourself.
Bye.
I heard something happened to your Mom.
She okay? She got attacked by some racists at a market blaming her for coronavirus.
Knocked her down so hard, she needs stitches.
It's all on tape.
Wow.
I'm so sorry.
I mean, they should be able to catch the guy.
They got it on video, right? No, she won't press charges, so they're not even looking for him.
I called in a favor with a buddy in video forensics.
I'll find him, make sure he knows what's what.
Hey, I get it, I do, but just try to stay in control on this, all right? That's easy for you to say.
It wasn't your Mom.
This where he was headed before you stopped him? It's the operating theory.
Here we go Storage unit 28.
Let's see if that key fob works.
Major firepower.
Yeah, but not enough left to warrant a return trip.
Look at that.
The sandwich is still fresh.
- Someone's been staying here.
- Who? The Mailman? We've had eyes on him all day.
That doesn't add up.
Unless Radek's never been to that house in the first place.
You think Radek's been staying here? Kid sure likes playing Combat Town.
You can hear the TV.
Listen.
Unidentified driver is undergoing surgery at L.
A.
County Hospital.
Think they buy it.
There'd be a lot more commotion in there if they didn't.
How's it going with you and Molly - locking down in separate place? - Actually, uh, since she's working from home, we're locking down together from her place for now.
It felt like the next step.
We're just doing it a little sooner, you know? If I ask you something, promise not to take it the wrong way? Sure.
What is it about Molly for you? Like, what made it the right connection for you? Uh, you know, she's selfless.
Thoughtful.
- Smart as hell.
Good heart.
- Sure, but you didn't know any of that when you first met.
She's beautiful, obviously, but at the beginning what did you see in her? Well, I guess I've always just been a risk-taker, and Molly Hicks seemed like a risk worth taking.
Why? Those bruises.
You see the handprints? An adult did that, and they're fresh.
I always hated going to school after my Dad hit me.
Especially in the places you can't hide.
Mischa! Where are you? - We got to get him out of there.
- Street, we got different orders.
- Screw orders.
This is a hurt kid.
- Hey.
I know it sucks, but we can't move in until we're sure Radek's inside, all right? Aren't there rumors that he's diabetic? What's the word from the CIA? Well, Prebble thinks it's promising.
Unis are chasing down the owner of the storage facility - for the security footage.
- Yeah, good luck with that.
Sir, Rob Ulmer died in '88.
Junior's in Orlando, and their security system's like a six iron.
Well, other than that, it's a hell of a plan.
Come on, Commander.
You think Salman Radek is really hanging out in storage lockers? I guess his travel plans could have changed when flights shut down, left him in between hideouts.
We don't even know yet why he'd be in L.
A.
Commander, a guy that big, I just can't see him crashing on the floor of a storage locker.
Plus, the guys in that house are way too quiet.
I'm betting that Radek is in there.
- Yeah, Street, what's up? Talk to me.
- The kid in the house is getting the crap beat out of him.
We got to pull him.
Hey, lower your voice, Street.
Do not blow this op.
Someone in that house is using insulin.
If Radek's diabetic, it's got to be him.
That is not proof, kid.
No.
Not yet.
My first day of kindergarten, you know what I remember? My mom putting makeup on my chin to cover up my Dad's crappy weekend.
We can help this boy, Hondo.
We are not authorized to raid until we know for a fact that Radek's in that house.
That means actual photographic or DNA proof, Street.
This conversation is over.
Just let me slip through the gate.
I can signal him.
Okay, you know what? That's it.
Your shift is done.
You get your ass back here to HQ right now.
I'm taking your spot.
Radek ever come out for some fresh air? He's lived on the run a long time.
- Guess he's disciplined.
- Yeah, still, they got a huge yard.
You'd think he'd want some sunshine.
As high as the FAA allows, Tan.
Going all the way up.
Extended Stays ain't the Taj Mahal, huh? Deac, it's got to be tough not being able to go home - and see Annie and the kids.
- Yeah.
It's been pretty rough.
Slim chance I'll be getting tested on a regular basis anytime soon, so makes it even harder on my family.
Hey, I meant to tell you, it's really great stuff you're doing at the community center.
Lot of people struggling right now.
- Yeah.
- I'm guessing you, uh, you got back together with the woman that runs the place? No, Deac.
She, uh Apparently, she's seeing some other dude now.
Before she left, uh I just keep replaying our last conversation over and over in my head, and I got to admit, I screwed that all up.
Well, if it's eating at you, maybe you still got something to say.
I don't know, Deac.
I just I care about her too much to confuse things for her.
It's never too late to tell someone you care about that you messed up.
What's that on the roof? It's an industrial-size AC unit.
That is overkill for a house that size.
Do you think that if that unit is consistently pumping cold air within the exterior walls, that's what's blocking our thermal reader? Acting as a shield? That'd be some advanced countersurveillance.
It's like they got somebody to hide.
How familiar are you with industrial units like that? Well, not enough to repair one.
But I bet I could break it.
Hey, Commander.
What's up? Hondo wanted me back here to check on something.
Anything to do with this? "Syringe contained no DNA sufficient for testing.
" Without Radek's DNA, there's no proof he's inside.
Guess that's why they burn their trash.
Well, there's no proof he's not inside, either.
His DNA didn't show up on that storage locker.
Iryna Melnik, 17.
Flew over here from Belarus before the flights shut down.
Said she was here for an arranged marriage.
That's who was sleeping in the storage locker? Cops picked her up a mile from Rob Ulmer Storage.
Apparently, she was told to wait there, but she must have panicked and fled.
The CIA thinks she came to L.
A.
to be Radek's next wife.
Keep at it.
It's a new guy.
It's gonna take him a minute to burn everything.
Let me know when he comes back this way.
Deacon, freeze.
The Mailman's right below you.
Tarkhan? Tarkhan? He forgot his lighter.
Deac, he's coming back now.
Made it.
All right, Mr.
Fix-it Man, go to town.
Yeah, it's just what I thought.
42 degrees.
You did it, Deac.
They're lighting up.
All right, we got six bodies on my count.
Four in the front of the house, two in the back.
You see that movement on the back side? Yeah.
What's going on in there? Someone's serving the man in the back room.
Yeah, what's up, Street? The kid in the house is probably playing - his video game right now.
- Hey, that's enough.
Talking about the kid ain't gonna help him, Street.
No, I mean, I might have a way to prove Radek's in that house.
Tan, how's it coming? Give me a sec.
Okay.
I just lost.
- Kid replied.
- Keep him talking, Tan.
All right, I sent it.
All right, let's get the drone in position.
Roger that.
All right, he's in the room.
The man still appears to be sleeping.
Are you ready? Good to go.
Photo should be processing now, Commander.
We got him.
Yeah.
Before we go in, I'm sorry for losing my cool.
Okay, but you keep your focus, Street.
The real work hasn't started yet.
Chris, you good? - Ready when you are.
- All right, listen up.
We got five armed adult males and one child at risk inside.
We think Radek's in the back room, east side.
Now we're taking them by surprise, so I need every access point covered.
- Everyone clear on their orders? Clear.
- Clear.
I'm clear.
I know.
Let's go.
20-David to all perimeter units.
Let me know when you're set.
- 24-David and 26-David set.
- On my command.
Three, two, one.
LAPD! We got the house surrounded! Armed suspect just ran out of the house.
Three-side, heading south.
I'm on it.
Police! Put the weapon down! Out in the hallway! Step out slowly! Hands where I can see them.
On your knees! Get on your knees! Hands behind your head.
Where's Radek? Mischa, wait.
Hey.
I'm a policeman.
Run outside to the yard.
Come on.
You'll be safe there.
Mischa.
Hey.
Hey.
Come.
Come here.
Daddy wants to talk to you.
These men want to hurt us.
Come on.
Down on the ground! Drop the weapon! Do not move! Show me your hands! Get outside, kid.
Go! LAPD.
Hands above your head.
Turn around.
On your knees.
Hands behind your head.
Chris, I got two guys zip-tied in the south hall.
We've got our target.
It's Radek.
Good job, Deac.
Well done.
Great work.
Well, I told you they were the best.
Photo's uploading, Commander.
That's a look-alike.
That's not Salman Radek.
Radek's got to be somewhere on this side of the house.
Tan, switch the eyes in the sky back into thermal.
Roger that.
There's someone moving your way from inside the house, Hondo.
He's just on the other side of your wall.
Is he headed east? No, he's moving exactly parallel to you and he's got a gun.
Well, one man down, it must be Radek.
How close is he to the door? Five seconds.
Three, two, one.
Stay down.
Stay down! Target apprehended.
Radek in custody.
Looks like Radek's wedding is off.
According to one of his men, they were supposed to leave together a few days ago, but he got spooked when travel was shut down and figured he'd try to wait it out.
That's the social worker assigned to help the kid.
She said he came here from Chechnya three years ago after his mom died.
Molly said she'll try to pull some strings.
We know some great homes that'll help keep him on track.
That's-that's cool of her.
Hey, uh, Molly and I were talking, and the news is saying as long as your friends follow the guidelines, people can still hang out.
Like, in a pod.
Sounds more like coffee than a real plan.
Yeah, I know, but, uh, if you're ever down, - I'd love to have you over.
- Maybe next time.
- See you tomorrow.
- Cool.
See you then.
You Oliver Davis? I got a question for you.
If you think you'll get COVID from an Asian American who's lived in the U.
S.
for 30 years, why not leave her alone? Who are you? The son of the woman you attacked outside the market.
- What woman? - Her name's Fei.
She was born in China, but she loves this country and she's given it everything, including two sons: A doctor and a cop.
What have you done, huh? Besides taunt people who don't look like you? Give an old woman stitches? We got video of what you did.
Even worse for you, I'm the cop.
I didn't do anything.
She tripped.
Yeah, there you go.
Now you remember.
Hey, stay right there, ma'am.
LAPD.
What'd my brother do? Doesn't concern you.
- He's sick, you know.
- Don't play the virus card.
I didn't mean for her to fall.
You can't arrest me.
Oliver, whatever you did, I don't have cash until next week to bail you out.
So you might have to be in jail over the weekend.
He was in a motorcycle accident 18 years ago and he's never been He's mentally ill.
Hey, look, I know about mental illness.
I also know what your brother said to my Mom didn't come out of nowhere.
He may not have the mental capacity to know better, but you do.
Go.
So what kind of crap are you saying around him? Hey, Commander, what are you doing here? Well, you seemed pretty upset when you left.
Deacon filled me in on what happened with your Mom.
Think I was gonna do something stupid? Never crossed my mind.
But I thought maybe if you did do something stupid, I'd come by and stop you.
I told her it wasn't easy for Matthew to concentrate with 15 other kids on the screen, and you know, I can't look after him the whole time.
- So Hold on.
- Mommy! - I'm waiting! - Hey, honey? I told you we need some Mom and Dad time, okay? Annie, it's okay.
If you got to go handle it, we'll talk later.
You sure? I'm - I'm sorry.
- No, no.
No problem.
Just give me a call at bedtime, all right? I promised Lila we'd get to chapter nine of Charlotte's Web.
Okay.
We all miss you so much.
Miss you, too.
Love you guys.
Love you, too.
Hey, Nichelle.
Oh, you're already there.
I was hoping to catch you before you - Is everything all right? - My friend in New Orleans, her test came back negative, so I don't have to quarantine after all.
I can cover tonight, so please go, enjoy your time off.
And thank you so much.
Nichelle, that's great news.
Sorry you went all the way over there.
No, come on, don't be.
I actually got a lot done already, so I'll lock up before you get here.
Um, hey, uh, do you have a minute? Um, there's something I really need to say to you, and I'm just glad that I can see your face.
Sure.
You okay? Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, I'm okay.
Yeah, I'm okay, I just, um I wasn't.
Um, before you left, you said me and you want different things.
And I get why you said that.
I do.
It's just, you know, it-it ain't easy when someone holds a mirror up to your face and you don't see the man that you want to be.
Look, Nichelle, when I was a kid, you know, I'd see married couples holding hands, you know, laughing together and But I was always just like, "Damn," you know, "My parents they just, they got it wrong.
" And I think fear of repeating their mistakes, it messed me and my sister's head up for 30 years.
You know? But for me, all that time, I mean, I guess I just felt that the rest of my life was moving along well enough that I didn't really see it as a problem.
Until I lost you.
Listen, Hondo No, no, no.
Seriously.
You don't have to say anything.
I know it's too late, and and you've met someone else.
I ain't gonna lie, I really wish you hadn't, but you did.
I just want to tell you I'm sorry.
I'm-I'm sorry for being so afraid when we were together, and letting you down with your parents, because I know I hurt you and I am sorry.
The time that I had with you, it it changed how I look at life.
It It changed what I want for myself.
What I'm trying to say to you is because of you holding me accountable, I'm actually at a better place in my life than I was, and I just want to thank you for that.
So Good night, Nichelle.
Good night, Hondo.
