S.W.A.T. (2017) s06e18 Episode Script

Previously on SWAT
I was talking to Luiza Coles.
She's a matchmaker.
I haven't been on a date in 30 years.
Maggie?
I'm so sorry.
How did you get through it with Barb?
I'm here for anything that you need.
Thank you for seeing more in this man
than just a badge.
- We did it.
- (DOOR OPENS)
HONDO: Meet your granddaughter
Vivienne Carmichael Harrelson.
(VIVIENNE COOING)
Okay, we got dinner for tonight,
and boiling more water for tea.
Oh, no, no, no, no, don't you get up.
That's why I'm here
so you can rest and recover.
- You're a godsend, Charice.
- Well, how else
am I gonna earn my spot as
the number one grandparent?
- (LAUGHS)
- I could hear our little lady
cackling from the bedroom.
- (VIVIENNE COOS)
- Hey, Vivienne. Oh, I can't wait
till you start talking
for real, baby girl.
Oh, she already has so much to say.
Mm-hmm. Just like her mama.
(BOTH LAUGH)
How you feeling?
Uh, exactly like
the doctor said I would feel
after getting my body cut open.
(VIVIENNE CRIES)
Do you think she's getting sick?
She's so fussy this morning.
Oh, no fever.
Say "I'm just new to the world."
- (CRYING)
- Yes, I am.
(HONDO AND CHARICE LAUGH SOFTLY)
You ready to go back to work, Hondo?
Mom, it's hard to say I miss my team
when they show up with food every day.
(CHUCKLES) I thought we were gonna have
to kick Street and Chris out last night.
I had no idea Street was
such a baby person.
Well, I can't start spoiling her
till you get out of here.
I already feel guilty leaving.
Oh, no, don't. We'll be fine.
I have done this before, you know.
I mean, you and your sister
y'all turned out okay.
- (LAUGHS)
- See? See? My mama got jokes.
(LAUGHTER)
- All right, I'm out of here. Mwah.
- Mmm.
(VIVIENNE CRIES)
- I love you both.
- Love you.
So fine.
Look at that little lip.
You're quiet this morning.
How was the date last night?
Told you, I got a cute
niece I could set you up with.
Thanks, but no thanks.
That'd be like dating
the boss's daughter.
I'm just saying,
you could do a lot worse.
Actually, I know for a fact,
you have done a whole lot worse.
- (LAUGHS)
- Hold on!
(TIRES SQUEAL, MAN GRUNTS)
These clowns are lucky I didn't
run 'em over. You believe this?
(HORN HONKING)
Wait. Where'd he go?
- (BEEP)
- Wait. What's happening?
I don't like this.
(SCREAMING)
This is the jumper for truck 6-3-8.
Truck has been disabled by an explosive.
We are being held up near
San Pedro and 7th Street.
No, stay put. Help is on the way.
I don't want to die in here.
Open the door, or we'll
blow you up. Choice is yours.
I can't breathe! I got to get out!
Jeff, no! We are safer in here.
No, wait. I'll do whatever you want.
Please, don't kill me.
Please, don't kill me.
- Open it. Now.
- Okay.
We've only got a few minutes.
You know what we're after!
(BUZZING)
- It's not here.
- This one, either.
It's not in any of these cases!
- (SIRENS WAILING)
- Police are here.
(TIRES SCREECHING)
Here! I found it!
We've got it! Let's go. Move!
(SIREN WAILING)
- Go!
- Cover me!
Let's move! With me! This way!
- (GROANS)
- 6-Adam-27. Shots fired. Officer down.
Covering now at 7th Street.
Suspects fleeing
into homeless encampment.
I appreciate you taking the time, Bob.
I'm so embarrassed, I almost couldn't
bring myself to come to you.
Oh, don't be ridiculous, Maggie.
- I'd do anything for you.
- (SIGHS)
Just tell me what's going on.
Well, you know how Martin always
handled all the home stuff.
- Right?
- Yeah.
Okay, well, I hired a roofer,
paid him a deposit, and now,
he's run off with the money.
Well, that's nothing
to be embarrassed about.
- Did you have a contract?
- I did not.
Uh, he was kind of a friend,
you know, doing it as a favor.
Oh, no. (LAUGHS)
I'm sorry, Maggie.
I'm a little confused.
If this is someone you know
It isn't. It (SIGHS)
Not really.
I met him on a dating site.
- Oh.
- The girls encouraged me
to get back out there, you know?
Time to dip my toes
back in the water, they said.
That's good for you.
- (LAUGHS) No.
- Nah, that that-that's good.
- We only went out a few times, so
- Mm.
He dropped me off
one night after dinner,
and fed me some line
about how my roof was sagging.
He said he could fix it,
just needed money for materials.
I paid him ten grand,
and he disappeared.
- Yeah.
- Wow.
Okay. (INHALES SHARPLY)
You were so good to me
last year when Martin was killed.
- No. (MUTTERS)
- No.
I wouldn't have gotten
through it without you.
I hate to ask for more. I
Oh, don't be silly, Maggie.
- I'm always happy to help you.
- (PHONE BEEPS)
You know that.
Ah. I'm so sorry. This is
This requires my attention.
I promise I'll look into this roofer.
Just send me whatever
information you have,
- and I'll get on it.
- Thank you, Bob.
You really are a great friend. Mmm.
(SIRENS WAILING)
HONDO: Hey.
You got eyes on any of
our four suspects?
No. We followed them in,
but they kept shooting at us.
Too many innocent homeless
in there, so we pulled back.
We've held the perimeter the whole time,
so they should still be in there.
Four male suspects.
Probably Middle Eastern.
One of them is wearing
a green bomber jacket.
Any idea how many innocents
are in there with 'em?
No. We called out for them to evacuate.
A lot of 'em did, but
You got to figure, for some,
last thing they're gonna do
is listen to cops.
Now you keep things locked up.
We'll take it from here.
Copy.
Hondo, we're going in blind.
And they could be hiding anywhere.
- With any number of hostages.
- All right, we do a split search.
Center out. Deac and Powell,
you're with me.
Tan, Street, you take the south.
Keep sending updates.
- Hell of a first day back, boss.
- (HONDO LAUGHS)
Don't I know it.
All right, heads on a swivel.
Danger's in the unknown. Let's move.
Hey, hey.
Get back inside. Stay down low.
Back in the tent. Get back in the tent.
Hondo, one o'clock.
Go. 20-David. We got eyes
on a possible suspect
in a green bomber jacket.
LAPD! Show us your hands!
Don't move!
- (GROANS)
- Roll over.
(GROANS)
They made me do it.
He's not one of the suspects.
Where'd you get the jacket from?
Guy gave it to me. He told me
to put it on, I swear.
Keep moving.
Find some cover. Don't go anywhere
until you hear the all-clear. Got it?
(GROANS)
(GROANS)
Hey. Hey, buddy. You with me?
I'm just gonna see
what's going on under here.
- (GROANS)
- Hey, Street, man,
we can't get medics in
here till the camp's cleared.
- What's your name?
- Cooper.
Cooper, I'm gonna need you
to keep your eyes open, okay?
Focus on me. Cooper,
talk to me. Where you from?
- Long Beach.
- Oh, yeah?
Yeah, me, too.
Where'd you go to school? Highland?
Yeah. (COUGHS) Class of '02.
That's a few years ahead of me.
You a skater?
- Yeah.
- Yeah?
My whole life.
You weren't one of the
Gravity Wave boys, were you?
Cooper Murphy?
- Yeah.
- I remember you.
I-I used to watch you
down at the skate park.
I saw you all do the stairs
at Golden Shore once. That was epic.
We're gonna get you some help, okay?
Just hang in there. We're gonna
have you skating again in no time.
Hey, Cooper,
hey, hey, stay with me. Stay.
Hey, Cooper, stay with me.
Stay with me, buddy. Cooper.
HONDO: 20-David. We're at the
back fence. No sign of our suspects.
How did we miss 'em?
Hondo? Got an opening here.
Leads through to the adjoining building.
They ghosted.
They must have left
before we even got here.
Patrol officer's gonna make it.
Same for the armored car guard,
but the driver didn't stand a chance.
They killed one of the residents, too.
Got caught in their crossfire.
Street tried, but couldn't save him.
Street all right?
I don't know.
Deac, we got any idea yet
what these guys were after?
No. But whatever it is,
more than one witness heard them say
- they've still got four more to go.
- Four more what?
Left a whole truck full of valuables.
Well, whatever they're after,
they're willing to kill for it.
So as long as they're still out
there looking, no one's safe.
- Commander?
- Yeah.
Armored car company just
finished inventory on the truck.
They confirmed
there was just one item missing.
A necklace.
Diamond encrusted,
one huge, central ruby.
Well, it looks like something
you'd see on the red carpet.
Insured for two million.
Well, normally, I'd say
that's a pretty good haul.
Except they left ten million more
of inventory back on the truck.
So this isn't just about the money.
That necklace must mean
something to 'em.
- Anything on the gunmen yet?
- No.
The only real description we got is
they might've been Middle Eastern.
May have something.
Our friend in the green jacket
turned out to have a surprise
up his sleeve.
There was a valet stub
in the inside pocket.
It's from a restaurant
in West Hollywood.
Well, at least that's a start.
Take Street and get over there
and see if you can find out something
- before these guys strike again.
- DEACON: Too late.
I just got off the phone
with Beverly Hills PD.
Same crew just hit a cafe on Rodeo
Drive,
robbed a woman having lunch.
- Oh, let me guess. Stole her jewelry?
- Yeah.
Yeah. No details yet, but
as soon as they get the report,
- BHPD is gonna send it over.
- All right, good. In the meantime,
Powell, keep looking into that necklace,
see if you can figure out
what's so special
that these guys had to have it.
TAN: Valet stand's busy.
All right, appreciate it.
Thanks for trying.
What's going on? Everything good?
I can't find any next-of-kin
for our homeless victim, Cooper.
I mean, he grew up in foster
care, like me, but still,
there has to be someone
who cares that he's dead.
You knew him in high school, right?
- You try any of his old buddies?
- Yeah.
Check it out.
Trying to dig up their contacts.
He was part of a skate group
called The Gravity Wave.
Nate and I used to go
every day after school
and watch them. They were our heroes.
Wow, what are the odds?
Shame to see where his life ended up.
It just doesn't make any sense.
Cooper was next-level.
Got sponsored at, like, 14.
Went pro at 18.
And he still always managed to make time
to help out us newbies.
He taught me how to ollie.
(CHUCKLES)
I mean, how does a guy like
that, friends all around,
world at his feet,
how does he end up on the streets?
No one to even claim his body?
Hey, I'm sure someone
out there cares about him.
You'll find them.
Yeah. Hope you're right.
- Hi.
- Hi. Help you with something?
Yeah. We're LAPD.
Can you confirm this ticket
- came from your stand?
- Yeah, that's one of ours.
Any chance you can tell us
who it might've belonged to?
- Get us a license plate or something?
- Afraid not.
Most I can give you is the time the car
was picked up.
Uh, looks like Wednesday afternoon,
- around 3:00 p.m.
- Anything stick out to you from then?
Come on, man.
We park 100 cars a day.
I wouldn't be able to remember
one even if I wanted to.
That camera work?
Yeah, I'd assume so.
Tell us something good, Powell.
Tan and Street just sent this
over from the valet stand.
DEACON: That's a familiar jacket.
It's got to be our crew.
Well, two of the four, anyway.
Let's run this image
- through facial recognition.
- (PHONE BUZZING)
And put a BOLO out on that car ASAP.
It's from Beverly Hills PD.
They just uploaded some of the info
on the robbery on Rodeo Drive.
This time, the crew targeted
a yellow sapphire ring.
Thankfully, the owner
had some photos taken
- for insurance purposes.
- Yep. Got 'em here.
DEACON: The victim said
they told her, "It's not
stolen if it never belonged to you."
So we were right.
This isn't about the money.
No. These guys are only
interested in these particular pieces.
But why?
Well, we got to figure out
what they have in common.
We know this crew has two pieces,
but there's still three more out there,
which means more potential victims.
Hang on. Powell, zoom
in a sec, would you?
See that? First, I thought
it was part of the design,
but look at that insignia.
No, that's a jeweler's mark.
It's the same on both pieces,
which
means it was made by the same person.
Run it down.
Hey, babe, everything okay?
I'm not sure. I got up
from a nap a while ago
and your mom's not here.
Neither is Vivienne.
All right, well,
I haven't heard from her.
She was probably just letting you sleep.
Well, that's fine. But now I'm awake
and it's time for Vivienne to nurse.
All right, I'll try giving her a call.
(SIGHS)
Don't bother. She left her phone here.
I thought they went for a walk.
But the stroller is here, too.
Should I be worried?
Hey. Hey. I'm sure she's gonna
be back any minute. Look.
Moms just isn't that good
about her phone.
You're-you're probably right.
I-I'll call you when they get back.
Hey.
Everything's gonna be fine.
Love you.
And I love you.
Commander, Powell's running down a lead
on the jeweler's mark. She
hopes to have something soon.
- All right, update me when you know.
- Okay.
Is this a new suspect?
Not in our case.
My friend, Maggie, she got ripped off
by this jerk from a dating site.
Maggie. Is that Judge Walker's widow?
Yeah, she's already been through enough
- without this happening, too.
- Yeah.
I've heard of these Romeo scams.
Romance someone, gain their trust,
- take them for all they're worth.
- Yeah.
I can help if you want.
Uh, thanks, but
I want to take this guy down solo.
Anyone who takes advantage
of a woman like Maggie, uh
they deserve some real punishment.
So
Maggie's dating?
Huh.
- What?
- Nothing, just
I've heard you say more than once
that you guys have a connection.
You were working with that matchmaker
We're just friends, Deacon. That's it.
Okay.
We should all be lucky enough
to have a friend like you.
I found the jeweler
who made both pieces.
No answer, but he's got
an address downtown.
All right, good work. You two grab Hondo
and see what you can find out.
Seems a little odd to be closed
in the middle of a weekday.
POWELL: Place has been trashed.
No wonder no one answered the phone.
20-David to Command.
Making entry at the storefront.
Signs of a possible burglary.
- Left side clear.
- Right side clear.
Case has been broken.
They left the jewelry.
That seems to be their
trademark at this point.
HONDO: Hey, Deacon, look.
It's the designs
for the necklace and the ring.
And those must be the other
three pieces they're after.
Well, at least we know
what to look for now.
Let's check the back.
Got a body.
He's dead.
Looks like somebody
worked him over pretty good.
They were probably looking for info.
(BANGING NEARBY)
Hey, you hear that?
It's coming from the vault.
LAPD! Is somebody in there?
We need you to come on out, hands up.
Please! Don't shoot!
DEACON: Hey, it's okay, it's okay.
They're gone.
They're gone, come on. Come on.
I ran in here when they attacked.
They couldn't get in.
Mr. Harris.
Is he okay?
I could hear them hurting him.
I'm sorry. He didn't make it.
Who are you? What's your name?
I'm
Juliet.
Juliet Amato.
I'm Mr. Harris's apprentice.
Juliet, did you hear what those
men wanted from Mr. Harris?
They were demanding
that he turn over some jewels.
He kept saying he didn't have them,
but they didn't believe him.
All I could do was listen.
It was horrible.
We found the designs
of these two pieces up front,
along with three others.
Did Mr. Harris make these?
Yeah, those are the pieces they wanted.
They're part of the Senses Collection.
You know, like the five senses?
Juliet, the men who were here,
they already have these two pieces.
We have to find the other three.
- Do you know where they are?
- They were bought
by Saturn Jewelry in Pasadena.
I handled the pickup.
Deacon, alert Pasadena PD.
We gotta get extra protection
on that jewelry store ASAP.
They could be on their way there now.
We're gonna do the best we can
to track down who did this.
DEACON: Hondo, Powell?
We got eyes on us
from across the street.
POWELL: That's one of the
suspects from the valet stand.
Is there another exit?
All right, give me 30 seconds,
then make your move.
Push him south.
DEACON: Stay out of sight.
Hey! LAPD!
LAPD! Don't move! Stop!
LAPD! Stop!
DEACON: Hey!
Don't even think about it!
On your stomach!
Hands behind your back.
HONDO: Adnan Ali.
No stranger to Interpol.
Syrian national.
Slipped into the country a week ago.
Three murders and counting.
That's quite a vacation you're having.
We know what you're after.
Unfortunately for you,
the remaining pieces are
being heavily guarded now.
So you and your little band of thieves
won't be able to get your hands on them.
No, we are not thieves.
Your actions today say different.
Those jewels were stolen from us.
By greedy Americans.
Stolen by Americans?
What are you talking about?
The gems in those pieces were
looted by American soldiers.
America said they were going to help.
Instead, they pillage our homes,
steal our history, one
one of our holiest books.
You're saying they stole a Koran.
An ancient Koran,
passed down for centuries.
Then they have
the audacity to deface it,
ripping the jewels from its cover.
An ancient relic like that,
it's got to be worth millions.
(SCOFFS)
This isn't about money.
This is about the disregard
of our people,
the violation of our culture.
All right, help me out here.
I thought the Koran
teaches love and altruism?
Yet you and your friends
killed three people today.
You sound like a hypocrite to me.
Don't talk to me about hypocrisy.
It's disgusting to see Americans
wearing our religious relics
as status symbols,
showing off their jewels
with zero understanding
about any of the pain
that they have caused us.
They deserve to die.
All right.
Where's the Koran now?
He doesn't know, or they'd
have gone after it already.
Doesn't matter what you do to me.
My brothers will not rest
until they restore the Koran
and return it to our homeland
where it belongs.
The remaining three pieces
may be locked up tight,
but if the Koran is still out there
We need to find it before they do.
Oh, come on, not again.
Everything okay?
I'm not sure. Nichelle's
stressed about the baby.
My mom took Vivienne out, but
she doesn't know where she went.
It has been a while now.
Go. We're good here.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
TAN: Whoa!
Fridge make you mad or something?
Sorry, sorry.
I, um
I managed to track down one
of the old Gravity Wave skaters.
He was not exactly heartbroken
when I told him
Cooper was dead.
In fact, he was more upset
he wasn't gonna get back
the money Cooper still owed him.
That sucks.
You find out how Cooper
went from a pro skater
to living on the street?
Yeah, he busted his knee,
couldn't skate for a while.
Lost his sponsorship deal.
All downhill from there.
He must've started
borrowing money from friends.
Last resort, he took to stealing.
- Did a few stints in County.
- What a waste of talent.
Yeah, the guy I spoke to,
he said he doesn't know how to get ahold
of any of the other skaters
in the group.
So no closer to finding
someone to handle the funeral?
Which means he'll end up
in county mass grave.
Not even a marker with his name.
His death's hitting you hard.
Is there, uh, something else
going on with you?
Cooper and I were about the same age.
We both grew up without a family.
But I always envied him
because the Gravity Wave
that seemed like a family.
All it took was one injury and
and that just all went away?
He died alone.
And what, think the same
could happen to you?
Don't worry, Street, you're
not gonna die all alone.
I will be at your funeral.
I'm gonna read the eulogy,
I'll play a little Nirvana
to send you on your way.
Okay, thanks.
I don't know, I-I figure I
I'll keep trying. Worst case,
I'll organize a memorial myself,
even if it's just me there.
Commander, this is Dr. Dena Rahimi.
She's a professor of
Islamic Studies at UCLA.
Also an antiquities expert.
It's good to meet you, Dr. Rahimi.
Is this the Koran that's
at the center of all this?
Yes, it's one of
the oldest in existence.
Was on display
in the Syrian National Museum,
but went missing four years ago.
A real blow
to the Muslim community to lose
something of such religious
and cultural significance.
You can understand
the outrage if it were pillaged
by American troops.
Well, the outrage, yes.
But the method and violence
- used to recover it, no.
- I agree.
Loosely translated, the Koran says,
"If anyone kills an innocent person,
it is like killing all of humanity."
If you get this Koran back,
my team will make sure
it's returned to its home.
Well, let's hope that's
a "when" and not an "if."
We'll be in touch. Thank you.
- Inshallah, Commander. Thank you.
- Mm-hmm.
(SIGHS)
You still trying to track down
that jerk who scammed Maggie?
Well, so far, there's nothing
in his profile that's legit.
I mean, the thing I don't get is,
even if you buy his line of crap,
what the hell
did Maggie see in this guy?
Look, um,
I may have overstepped earlier.
- Well
- So
- why not go all in, and overstep again?
- (LAUGHS)
This seems like more than
just a friendly favor.
What's holding you back
from asking her out?
Or are you not interested?
Well
I won't say I haven't thought about it.
But Maggie's called me
a friend many times.
It seems clear that
that's all I am to her.
Okay, let me, let me tell you something.
When I realized that
I had feelings for Annie,
I thought that I'd show her
that I'd do anything for her.
I'd switch shifts to pick her
up from the airport, anything.
I thought that she'd figure it out.
But when I finally got up
the guts to ask her out,
she was surprised.
She said that she thought
I only saw her as a friend
that whole time.
And even though she had feelings, too,
she didn't act on them.
Because she'd rather have me as a friend
than nothing at all.
Hmm.
She and Martin, they were
there for me when Barb died.
I mean, what if it's weird to her?
I don't think that's
a line I should cross.
No risk, no reward.
I could've missed out
on my whole life with Annie.
POWELL: Have you ever
seen this book before?
I recognize the jewels.
They're the focal pieces for
the Five Senses collection.
But the book no.
What is it?
It's a Syrian Koran,
rare and extremely valuable.
It was stolen from a museum in Syria.
This is what these men are after.
Oh, my God.
They killed Mr. Harris for this?
And two other innocent people.
He was the kindest man.
Let me sleep at the shop when I
first moved to L.A. after a breakup.
We need to find this book.
Do you have any idea where it might be?
No.
How would I?
Your boss had the five jewels.
Can you think of how he
might've gotten his hands on them?
(SIGHS)
Well, he had relationships
with all sorts
of diamond and gem dealers.
I don't know where to begin.
Uh, maybe there are purchase
records at the shop?
If there were, they're gone now.
Then I'm, I'm sorry.
I wish I could help, but I don't
know what else to tell you.
(DOOR OPENS)
Nichelle?
- Hondo.
- Hey. Is everything okay?
I'm worried. What if she fell?
What if Vivienne got sick and
she took her to the hospital?
Okay, listen. I'm gonna go
look for them right now.
Momma's car is still here, so
she couldn't have gone too far.
- Will you just try to stay calm?
- Okay.
Hondo, what you doing home?
Oh, thank God!
Momma, where you been?
She's sleeping.
It's time for her to nurse.
What is going on here?
Do you know how worried you had us?
What? We weren't gone that long.
Nichelle was terrified something
happened to you, to Vivienne.
You left your phone here.
No note, nothing.
I know I didn't raise you
to talk to me like that.
You better take that bass
out of your voice.
You said you came here to help us.
But all you did was cause us grief,
- disappearing like that.
- Hondo.
It is my job to keep Vivienne safe.
That's what I was doing,
keeping her safe.
Well, you can't tell
by how you acted today.
It was my first day back at work.
Momma, just go home.
Go home.
- (SIGHS)

Commander, we got a problem.
One of the three remaining
jewels isn't where
- it's supposed to be.
- What are you talking about?
I thought they were all locked
up tight in a jewelry store
- in Pasadena.
- They were, until the store's
assistant manager loaned
one of them out to a rapper
- for a music video.
- Oh, you got to be kidding me!
Where is it now?
Yo, how sick is this bling
they got me wearing today?
Saturn Jewelry hooked it up!
This is Slim K-O, baby.
We out here shooting my video.
Damn it. He's showing the
whole world his location.
And he geo-tagged the jewelry store.
If our suspects see this
Yeah, I'll try to get
ahold of the music label.
You get over there now.
Lot of civilians if this went sideways.
We need to get eyes
on Slim K-O and that necklace.
I'll evacuate people to the other side
of the street, just in case.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Whatever the issue is, we have permits.
We're LAPD SWAT. Where's Slim K-O?
He's taking a break.
He's in his trailer.
I'm his manager. What's going on?
Well, your client could be a target.
Which trailer?
Oh. Um
Hey, man.
Yeah, I'm not doing
autographs today, all right?
(GROANS)
LAPD! Drop the weapon!
- (GROANS)
- He took my chain, man.
LAPD! Drop your weapon!
Hey, get down!
Suspect's headed back into the set.
Out of the way!
(GRUNTING)
Stay down! You're done.
Give me your hands.
- (GRUNTING)
- It's nice work, right?
Think they can use that
in the music video?
Wasn't as pretty as you think.
DEACON: Hey, laugh it up for now,
but the Koran's still out there.
And as long as they're still
hunting it, so are we.
The gunman we apprehended
used some colorful language
to tell us we could go to hell.
There is no way he's telling us
where his buddies are,
but you can bet they aren't
giving up without the Koran.
I'm going through jewelry
invoices from the workshop,
trying to figure out
where Harris got the jewels.
So far, nothing.
The Koran has to be somewhere.
Just got ballistics back from the gun
Adnan was carrying in the jewelry store.
Same weapon was used in a murder
three days ago in Phoenix.
Phoenix? So L.A. wasn't this
crew's first stop in the U.S.?
No, apparently not.
The victim's this guy
Calvin Davis.
Military, Army Reserves.
He served in Syria in 2019.
Adnan said that the Koran
was looted by U.S. soldiers.
Maybe they found their culprit?
Well, that's exactly
what I was thinking.
Calvin Davis here does a tour
in Syria, he comes back
with a souvenir Koran worth millions.
He probably thought, after four years,
- he was safe to unload it.
- But he doesn't realize
four years isn't near long enough
that the Syrians would forget.
They've probably been monitoring
every black-market auction site,
waiting for it to show up.
So if they're still hunting,
then Calvin got rid of it
before they got him.
Somehow, it ended up in L.A.
Wait. Hold up a sec.
Got Calvin's social media here.
Guess who he celebrated
an anniversary with last year?
Juliet Amato.
She swore to me and Tan
she'd never seen the Koran.
But she did say she went through
a breakup before moving here.
This guy Calvin must've been her ex.
So Juliet steals the book from him,
then pulls the jewels off the cover,
thinking that she can impress her boss,
and no one will be the wiser.
She probably doesn't realize
how valuable the book is,
but we just told her.
Where the hell is she?
She got a ride-share 30 minutes ago,
said she was going home to rest,
but if she knows she can
make money off the Koran,
she-she's probably on her way
to sell it right now.
That's a bet I'm willing to take.
Let's get the route of that car.
We need to track her down now.
(DOOR CLOSES)
Welcome to Haddaway's.
Can I help you find something?
Actually, I found this book
cleaning out my mom's
attic and was wondering
if it's worth anything.
You guys buy books, right?
We sure do. Let's take a peek.
Oh, my goodness.
This is interesting.
I don't think I've ever seen
anything quite like it.
Do-do you happen to know
where your mother got this?
Uh no.
She goes to a lot of thrift
stores and garage sales.
Is it valuable?
Based on its antiquity,
I should think so.
But I'd have to do some research
before I could give you a number.
Would you be willing
to leave this with me?
I was really hoping to sell it quickly.
For my mom. She could use the cash.
I'd even take a rough estimate.
Oh, I wouldn't recommend that.
No, no. Something this special,
you're gonna want
to get proper authentication.
Is it okay if I take a closer look?
Yeah.
I'm sort of in a rush, so
if you could be quick about it.
I keep trying Juliet's cell,
but it's going straight to voice mail.
She's a little busy right now.
Her ride-share just dropped her
at Haddaway's Bookshop
in North Hollywood, after
stopping at her apartment,
probably to pick up the Koran.
Haddaway's has a rare book section.
It looks like
she's trying to sell the Koran
before they track her down.
BOLO just came back on the suspects' car
from the valet security footage.
The vehicle was spotted on a
traffic camera just off Vineland.
That's only a few miles
from the bookstore.
They got to be onto her.
Let's
just hope they haven't found her yet.
All right, tac up.
20-Squad's rolling out now.
And there you go.
How can I help you?
(PEOPLE SCREAMING)
Help! They're after me!
Come on! Move!
(SIREN WHOOPS, TIRES SQUEAK)
There's two men. They have guns.
HONDO: LAPD. Get outside
where you're safe.
Street, Tan, let's move it.
It's okay. Shh. Go, go, go.
Let's go. Go, go, go.
- He ran that way.
- Get out of here. Go! Get out of here.
20-David to Command.
I got eyes on one suspect,
deep northwest side of the store.
Deacon, Powell search the
front for the other gunman.
Roger.
- Kid, come to me.
- What the hell is going on?
- Get down! Cover!
- (YELLS)
We lost sight of the suspect.
We're in pursuit.
Going right.
(DISTANT CLATTER)
Hey, it's okay.
- We're here to help.
- I was en route to the stock room
- when I heard gunfire.
- Listen to me.
You're gonna head that way.
Stay low, stay very quiet.
There's officers outside.
You'll be safe.
- Go. Go. Go.
- Okay.
Hold it.
- Cover!
- (CLICKING)
HONDO: Move in!
STREET: Hondo, next aisle on your left.
LAPD!
Drop the weapon, hands over your head.
- Get down!
- STREET: On your stomach.
25-David. One suspect in custody.
- (YELLS)
- Give me the Koran,
and I might not kill you.
(JULIET YELLS)
Tan, you're Code 4?
- Yeah, go.
- Street, move.
(JULIET CRYING, YELLING)
- No.
- LAPD! Let her go.
(GUNSHOTS)
20-David. Got eyes
on the remaining suspect.
- Drop that weapon!
- (GRUNTS)
Deacon. Saleh's got
the Koran, headed your way.
(GRUNTS)
20-David to Command.
We're Code 4.
(PANTING)
STREET: If you'd told us
about the Koran, we could
have helped protect you.
I swear I didn't know what it was
when I first took it from my ex.
Just thought
he'd be mad it went missing.
I didn't think this would happen.
Your ex is dead, your boss is dead.
Your choices matter. Remember that.
Let's go. Move.
It's ironic, huh?
How do you mean?
Well, in the end, these guys got
exactly what they wanted.
We'll deliver this to Dr. Rahimi.
She'll see it restored
and returned back home.
That's where it belongs.
That's the one thing they got right.
We can understand a suspect's
motives, but we can still hate
the evil things they're willing
to do because of it.
All we can do is fight to help people,
keep 'em safe.
Hey, yo.
- Hey, I've been looking for you.
- Hey.
- You headed somewhere?
- Yeah.
Yeah, I'm gonna hit the
skate park down in Long Beach.
See if I can still land some
of the tricks
- Cooper taught me.
- Yeah?
Maybe find a kid I
can give his board to.
- Nice.
- Yeah.
You know, it's
it's not much of a memorial,
but it's something.
You didn't manage to get ahold
of anyone from the skate group?
No.
Well, guess that makes me
a better detective than you.
You said Cooper had been
arrested a couple times,
so I checked the court docs.
Turns out, both times, his bail
was posted by an ex-girlfriend.
And his lawyer, um,
was an old buddy of his
that he met on the skate
circuit, handled it pro bono.
When I told them both what happened,
they were pretty upset.
Offered to take care of
all the arrangements.
- For real?
- Yeah.
- Dude, that's awesome.
- Thank you.
You've been there for me
through everything, lately.
Bonnie, the suspension.
I wanted to be there
for my SWAT brother,
'cause that's what we are.
We're brothers.
We're real family, Street.
What you said earlier
about ending up like Cooper.
You don't have to worry, all right?
'Cause if you ever found
yourself in a dark hole like that,
somebody on this team
would throw you a lifeline,
and you'd take it.
And if you didn't,
one of us would drop down
and tie it around
your damn waist, and the rest
of us would haul your ass out.
- Trust that.
- Yeah.
Thanks, man. That means a lot.
Yeah. Cool if I roll with you
to the skate park?
- Sure, yeah, if you want to.
- Yeah. You kidding?
Get to see some of these,
uh, skate tricks, too.
Yeah. Yeah.
That is, if you still got the moves.
Oh, I got 'em.
- I got 'em.
- All right.
(LAUGHS)
HICKS: Good.
All right, thanks for the update.
Got your call. Any news?
Found your roofer.
Bad news is,
there isn't much legal recourse
for someone like this.
Without a contract,
it's easy for him to claim
that the money was a gift.
But the good news is,
we had a little chat.
And there's this.
Oh.
- You got my money back.
- Mm.
Thank you. I just feel so stupid, Bob.
- Uh
- I'm sorry you had to deal with this,
- with me.
- Maggie, don't do that.
This could have happened to anybody.
You're a good, kind person
and I'm here for you,
anything you need.
Thank you.
(LAUGHS)
I guess I'm really bad
at this dating thing, huh?
(SCOFFS) Dating's awful.
I mean, it's so awkward.
- So much small talk.
- Right?
I-I never thought
I'd be doing that part again.
You know, Martin and I talked
about sailing the world together
when he retired, even though neither one
of us really know how.
(BOTH CHUCKLE)
I guess I miss feeling that safe
with someone.
Yeah, I know the feeling.
And, um, you know, for what it's worth,
- you always have me.
- Yeah.
I know. You are a great friend.
Uh, well, um
(CLEARS THROAT) Actually,
Maggie, if, um
if you're open to it, I'd like
to take you to dinner
as more than friends.
I have to say, I'm-I'm
I'm surprised
- Mm.
- I
I didn't think you saw me that way.
Uh, you-you know,
if you're uncomfortable
Yes, I'd love to.
(BOTH LAUGH)
An actual date, except
without all the awful
getting-to-know-you bits.
Exactly. All right, well, perfect.
I just have to say up front
no sailing. I never was one
for the open water.
Oh, I remember the Catalina trip.
Oh, geez.
It-it it's seared into my memory.
Walk me to my car?
Yeah, I'd love to.
Mm.
(DOOR OPENS, KEYS JINGLE)
Momma. You're here?
Yes, I I came back.
Hondo, your mom and I talked,
and I think you should hear her out.
- Okay, Mom, listen.
- Me first, Hondo, please. Please.
I owe you both an apology.
I heard what you said,
and though I know I taught you
better than to use that tone
there was some truth in it.
I've been thinking
all day about what I said,
and you did not deserve any of that.
No, I didn't.
But I'm so sorry that I scared you.
I remember how worried
I was as a new mom,
holding that tiny human
in my arms who I loved so much,
it hurt. I was completely overwhelmed.
Momma, I really am sorry
about how I acted.
It's just this love it-it
It's intense, and I just
want to be a good father.
I don't want to mess that up.
I would do anything for her.
You know, we both want
to be the best for her.
But we're gonna make mistakes,
as hard as it might be,
for us to accept.
And we are lucky that Charice is
here to help show us the ropes.
- Yes, we are.
- Mm.
Mom, I know that.
I am so happy that she gets
to grow up with you, too.
Thank you for being here.
- I love you, baby.
- (NICHELLE LAUGHS)
- I love you, too.
- Mm.
Do you know, Charice figured out
how to calm Vivienne down?
Well, I just tried a swaddle,
something I used on you as a baby.
Like Daddy, like daughter.
Nah, nah, nah,
that's Grandma's special touch.
(LAUGHTER, ALARM BEEPING)
- Oh, casserole is ready.
- (VIVIENNE CRIES)
Now you all go get started,
and I will get her.
- Okay.
- Thank you.
(VIVIENNE FUSSING)
Yes, you're my baby.
Hello, little baby.
(CHARICE MURMURS QUIETLY TO VIVIENNE)
