S.W.A.T. (2017) s02e09 Episode Script

Day Off

1 - Previously on S.
W.
A.
T.
- Looking good Bria - Just give your brother a hug.
- (LAUGHS) I'm looking to moonlight for some extra cash.
Being a good Catholic sounds expensive, man.
DEACON: Tell me about it.
LUCA: Thinking about doing that good neighbor house program.
HICKS: You see the neighborhood this is in? LUCA: I could fix this place up.
I got this new house in East Hollywood.
So are we gonna bunk together again or what? HONDO: I'm just the guy she's using to get from you to the guy that she's eventually gonna end up with.
And we're both good with it.
(SIREN WAILS) - Just tell him you're a cop.
- You and I both know exactly what's going on here.
That fool had the nerve to act like I was the one making it about race.
I wanted to beat his ass.
That anger I saw in Tucson was not just about that ass of a traffic cop.
There's no way that one guy got you wound up like that.
There has to be more.
(CHUCKLES) Hey, Cinderella.
You looking for this? What I love about hotels is if you leave something behind, you just call the front desk.
No awkward conversation.
Oh, I know that game.
Like you're just looking for an excuse to call after a night of sinful activity.
No, I would never assume that about you.
I know you better than that.
Mm.
Kiss of death.
Mystery's all gone for us.
Only from the neck down.
(LAUGHS SOFTLY) Drop off the key on your way out? Roger that.
(PHONE BUZZING) (DOOR CLOSES) - Brie? What's up? It's late.
- BRIANNA: Hondo.
- I need help.
- What's wrong? Where are you? I'm, uh, I'm at a club.
Uh I think this guy put something in my drink.
I I don't feel good, Hondo.
Brianna, you listen to me.
Find someplace safe.
A bathroom.
Somewhere where you can lock the door.
I was with my friend but she already went home.
Hondo, he's coming.
Tell me where you are.
Hondo Tech.
This is Rubina.
This is Sergeant Harrelson.
I need a phone pinged right now.
Copy.
(DANCE MUSIC PLAYING) Ladies.
Sorry, I'm LAPD.
Brie? Brie, are you in here? - Brie.
- All right.
(QUIETLY): My bad.
Brie Brie? No.
No, no.
Brie, Brie.
Wake up, Brie.
Brie, can you hear me? Wake up.
(PANTING) MAN: At this point, we don't know.
Hold on a second.
- Brie, you're okay.
- Hmm.
They're gonna take you in and get you checked out.
I'll be right behind.
(MOANS SOFTLY) Hey.
Do you remember serving her tonight? I serve a lot of people.
Does this place have security cameras? Not inside.
You know her drink? I remember drinks, not faces.
Yeah.
Yeah, um, uh, rum and ginger ale.
Yeah, squeeze of lime.
Yeah, guy she was with ordered a Harvey Wallbanger.
Anything else about him? Kind of average, white.
He pay with a card or cash? Cash.
He tipped me a quarter.
Hipsters, man.
TAN: Annie okay you're working on your day off, so close to her due date? DEACON: We could use the extra cash.
I was supposed to spend the day with Bonnie.
She planned this whole anniversary picnic thing.
Did you ask the captain? I'm sure she could get someone else to fill in.
I dodged the first round of demotions, but bosses tell me to jump right now, I say "how high?" Got to prove my worth in case they decide to bump even more officers back down to patrol.
Hey.
Look who got called up to the big leagues.
- Hope they can keep up.
- We'll do our best.
Okay, with the flu going around, we're down ten officers.
Deacon, Tan, thanks for filling in on short notice.
- Happy to be here, Cap.
- Well, I appreciate it.
Let's hope for a quiet day.
Wow, I had no clue this place needed so much work.
I thought it'd take a couple hours, and I'd be done in time to hike Solstice Canyon.
Well, look on the bright side.
At least we saved you from getting eaten by a mountain lion.
Hey, I figure we start right here, and get this ready for the flat-screen TV.
You're not-you're not just gonna paint over those holes, are you? No, I know that.
I bought spackling paste for it.
- Spackle, for that? - Yeah.
No, man, you need a new drywall to patch that.
Then you have to sand and prime before you even think about painting.
And you can't do any of that until you fix all these roof leaks.
How do you both not know this stuff? LUCA: 'Cause I rented all my life.
If something needed to get fixed, I just called the super.
- What about you? - No good excuse, really.
Okay, so you can field-strip and clean an HK blindfolded but you guys don't know how to paint a wall? LUCA: Yeah.
- No.
I'm gonna see if my uncle can spare a couple of guys from his construction crew.
- Yeah.
- You owe me, though.
Uncle Sarzo.
SAMIR: Okay, okay, don't shoot.
DREW: Do what I tell you, then! We want the good stuff.
Open the safe.
Move, man! I'm warning you.
(KEYPAD BEEPING) Come on! We're not gonna wait all day.
Put all the drugs in there.
Hurry up! Hey! Where you think you're going, huh? Get down! Down! Down! (GUNSHOT) (SCREAMS) (GUN CLICKING) Go.
Go.
You two, stay right there.
Payback.
Witness says they're barricaded inside with three hostages.
We need to get eyes on the suspects ASAP.
(MOANING) - Baby, baby, baby.
Try this, try this.
Come on, come on.
(GROANING) Shut up! (QUIETLY): I can't think straight.
I can't think straight.
(HELICOPTER BLADES WHIRRING) Okay.
Thanks.
Got visual inside.
Pharmacist doesn't look good.
Suspects are treating the drugstore like an all-you-can-eat buffet.
Well, I was hoping to make the bean counters happy, save some money, but scratch that, we're going in.
Back door's obstructed from the inside.
We'll cite them after we save them.
So, uh, what are you thinking? Front entry? Breach and bang? Breach and bang, yes; front entry, no.
Tan, you're with me.
Deac, you take Rocker and Steven, stay frontside until you get my signal.
What's the worst music you have on your phone? (OPERA MUSIC PLAYING OVER BULLHORN) LAPD SWAT, don't move! - Put it down! - Okay.
(ZIP TIE TIGHTENS) (SONG ENDS) MUMFORD (OVER RADIO): 50-David, Code 4 inside.
Clear for paramedics to enter.
One victim with gunshot wound - to the leg.
- All right, let's go.
One suspect with gunshot wound to the arm.
Hey.
There's blood.
Are you hurt? Oh, it's not mine.
I'm fine.
(GROANING) DETECTIVE: We've got some medical attention waiting for you outside.
Mumford ever gonna retire? Three ex-wives on alimony and a new bride? Yeah, I think he's gonna be able to afford it in about 20 years.
(CHUCKLES) That male hostage look familiar to you? I don't think so.
Why? I know him from somewhere.
Wanted poster, maybe? Screw me.
That's Charlie Moss.
- Who? - Charlie Moss, he-he killed three people at a tech company in San Francisco last year.
He's been on the Most Wanted list.
This is one of the hostages? That's him.
Detective.
Where's that hostage you were talking to? I think he went to make a phone call.
Around the corner, by the ambulance.
Paramedic wagon's gone.
Grab an EMT.
50-David, we have a triple 187.
Suspect carjacked an ambulance and stabbed an EMT.
Believe suspect is wanted felon Charlie Moss.
I thought this was an innocent hostage.
JESSICA: The fugitive is Charlie Moss.
Wanted on three counts of murder, plus one attempted.
Statewide manhunt last year, then he vanished.
Until today.
The ambulance was abandoned ten blocks from the pharmacy.
No witnesses, no sign of Charlie.
The original victims were three senior veeps from Arcura Technology, plus the CEO, who survived.
Charlie claimed they stole his idea for an app.
He sued, he lost.
He thought he would make millions.
Ended up bankrupt instead.
So he murdered them for revenge.
Why didn't I know about him? Check the fugitive bulletins once in a while, okay? His nickname was the Silicon Slasher.
He used to wait down in the parking garage, till they came down for their cars and slashed their throats.
Lucky Mumford recognized him at the pharmacy today.
What's he doing in L.
A.
? Arcura moved headquarters from San Francisco to Playa Vista.
The CEO is based down here now.
His name is Martin Dunst.
Yeah.
He's the only one that Charlie didn't finish off the first time.
You think Charlie's taking another run at him? Somebody that angry doesn't suddenly go all Zen Buddha.
- Get your team over to their offices.
- All right.
- Is she okay? - Yes.
But she's gonna have a monster hangover, side effects of Rohypnol.
She's lucky.
Most times I'm ordering a rape kit.
Is she awake? Can I talk to her? Yeah, yeah.
- Thank you, Doc.
- Yeah.
Hey.
What happened? You fell in the bathroom at the club and you hit your head, but that's all.
The guy who was after you never made it through that door.
- Thank you.
- Come on now, what are big brothers for? (CHUCKLES) Don't tell Dad, please.
He worries about me even more than I worry about him.
I don't know why I put my drink down.
I know the rules.
No, come on, Brie, don't do that.
Don't blame yourself for any of this, you hear me? Just tell me what happened.
Uh This guy, he was hitting on me.
Um He wanted to buy me a drink.
I wasn't interested, but, um I think he did it.
Did you get his name? Everything is so fuzzy.
Um Liam.
I think he said his name was Liam.
BARKER: Three rapes, same neighborhood, all in the last month.
Victims got roofied, assaulted, and left in alleys.
And no leads? No DNA match yet, no witnesses, no victim with a clear memory of what happened to them.
Well, there's no such thing as a perfect crime.
I get this is important to you, and I'm busting my ass trying to catch this guy, but I've also got 20 other cases assigned to me.
I understand.
Would you mind if I talk to the other victims myself? Share whatever I find.
One woman's gone back to France, one's fallen off the radar, and the third one's done talking to us.
Nothing more we can do except wait for this guy to make a mistake.
Well, he already did.
He went after my sister.
CHRIS: Luca, Street, you remember my Uncle Sarzo and my cousin Tomas, right? Hey, what's up? Thanks for coming, man.
- Hey, good to see you.
- How are you, bro? How are you? So what do you think? Maybe you can still cancel the sale.
Oh, hell no, man, this is a great deal.
This is part of the city program for cops.
- You pay a quarter of the listing price.
- Yeah.
Unless you paid a dollar, they overcharged you, dude.
We've handled worse.
Remember that house in Boyle Heights? Yeah, we-we solved that with a bulldozer.
- Dude - Can we get started, please? Yeah, thank you.
I appreciate it.
You can thank Chris.
We're just paying her back a favor.
Favor? First, we're gonna need to, uh, get some new drywall, then we need to sand and prime before we can paint.
Yeah, she already told us that.
You pick out a color at least? I always recommend Navajo White.
Thanks for giving up your lunch break.
Of course.
How's your sister? Doctor says she was lucky, but I can't stop thinking about what almost happened to her.
She is lucky.
She has you for a brother.
Technically, I'm her half-brother.
She grew up in Oakland, so I wasn't able to be there for her the way I'd like when she was growing up, so I'm doing my best for her now.
So how can I help? If this other woman was a victim of the same guy, she might be able to help us ID him, but I figured it might be easier for her to talk to you, as another woman.
Maybe, but even if you manage to track him down, what are you gonna do? Short of this guy rolling over and confessing, there's no proof.
You know how many rapists out of 1,000 even get arrested? Around 60.
You know how many actually get convicted? Seven.
Well, I'm gonna make sure he's one of those seven.
Did you know this place even existed? Yeah, Silicon Beach.
Over 500 tech start-ups based around here.
I got a couple friends from high school working nearby.
Sold their first start-up for $20 mil.
Heads up, buddy.
Just think, if you hadn't blown off your MIT scholarship for a badge, that could've been you.
Think I made the right choice.
You sure? Those scooters go at least eight miles an hour.
Dani Westham, Chief of Security.
We've done a full sweep of the buildings, Sergeant.
All clear.
Well, your CEO's gonna need police protection until we find this guy.
Martin just left for a conference in Tokyo.
He's gone until Monday.
Charlie Moss may not know that.
He can't get past our security.
We have the latest in facial recognition software, triple-steel reinforced doors, and biometric fingerprint access.
We're more secure than the White House.
That's good to hear.
We're gonna run the check anyway.
Okay.
Right this way.
NIA: Thanks so much for meeting us here.
SASHA: Everything's in the statement I already gave, which went exactly nowhere.
I understand your frustration, Sasha, but the man who assaulted you is still out there, attacking other women.
HONDO: He went after my sister last night.
If it's the same guy, we want to stop him.
Even if you catch him, he's not going to jail.
I know how it works.
Women aren't believed.
Victims get shamed in court or called sluts and liars.
Rapists walk.
That's the real truth.
You know what I'm talking about.
I hate it, too, but we can't just give up.
Is there anything that you do remember? Just what the doctors told me.
That's the worst part, is not even remembering what he did to me.
- I'm sorry.
- No, don't apologize.
None of this is on you.
I just want to move on with my life.
I shouldn't have come here.
Please don't call me again.
There's nothing else I can tell you.
Look, I know you want to forget it all happened, but it doesn't always work like that.
I hope you're talking to someone who can help you get through this.
HONDO: Sasha.
If you do remember anything at all, would you please contact me? I do remember something.
It probably won't matter, but his smell.
I couldn't wash it off.
Can you describe it? Like rotten eggs.
(DOOR CLOSES) Grass is always greener.
You secretly wishing you were one of them - instead of one of us? - What? No.
I'm talking about relationships, about Bonnie.
You guys hit a rough patch? No, everything's great.
She just started dropping all these not-so-subtle hints about getting married.
Like what? Wait a second.
The female hostage at the pharmacy, wasn't she wearing a shirt just like that? Yeah.
Female, around 30.
If she works here, she's on the wall.
You said she's a witness to something? - Yeah, a possible witness.
- Deac, what do you think? Well, it looks like her, but that's not the name she gave us.
Is "Deborah" working today? No, she's new, part-time.
- Do you have her contact info? - Sure.
Let me get it for you.
There's no way that the hostage from the pharmacy just happens to work at the same company that Charlie's going after.
They had to have been there together.
- We just didn't know it.
- We find Deborah, we should find Charlie.
- Should be good.
- Thanks, my man.
Yeah.
Hey, you gonna play some ball? You live around here? Is this your mom? - Is it true you're police? - STREET: Yeah, we're LAPD SWAT.
We do all the cool stuff.
What's your name? - Timo.
- I'm Jim, - but everybody calls me Street.
- I'm Luca.
- Why you move here? - (CHUCKLES) I've been getting that all day.
VERA: Timo! Hey, you want to shoot some baskets later? My mom don't let me play there.
MAN: Where is it? - Huh? - Ain't a court anyway.
Yeah.
DEACON: Deborah Freeman moved into a house off Topanga six weeks ago.
TAN: Good place for Charlie and Deborah to hide out.
LAPD! Don't move! Or what, you'll shoot? This is ricin.
I drop this, it goes airborne, we're all dead.
- Okay, let's talk this out.
- Back up! Okay, we're not after you.
We're looking for Charlie.
Back up.
Tell them to back off.
Back off, back off.
Okay.
They're going.
How do you see this working out for you, Deborah? Are you sure you want to do this? How do you feeling now? Like I've been run over by a semi.
Still can't believe this happened.
Brie, I talked to another woman who was attacked.
It might be the same guy.
She said all she can remember is the smell of rotten eggs.
Did you notice anything like that? No idea what it could be? I mean, when I was in art school, I took this, uh, sculpting class.
Sometimes we used epoxy resin.
The cheap stuff smelled a lot like that.
The club was in the Art District.
You think he might be a sculptor? You know what, now I remember, he had all these weird scars on his hand.
Those could've been chemical burns.
From the resin.
(BEEPS) Rubina, did you get anything from that info I sent over? I sure did.
Based on the locations of the clubs and bars he's hit, the suspect probably lives or works in this quadrant.
I cross-referenced against a couple of art websites and online galleries.
No Liams.
But I did find two Williams.
William Marsh makes custom sculptures of pets, and William Tanner makes I'm not even sure what you'd call it.
Found him on a chat site bitching about a general lack of appreciation for his talent.
Rubina, I owe you.
Send me both of those, will you? You got it.
- You find something? - Yeah.
Deborah's phone.
They're definitely a couple.
- You get anything from her? - She won't talk.
Well, he's changed his MO.
He knows he can't get up close with all the security.
Well, he's counting on his girlfriend to get around that.
CDC cleared the property.
Found evidence they cooked up twice what we grabbed.
There's still ricin out there.
- Probably with Charlie.
- So if Deborah got a job at the cafeteria, what if the plan all along was to put it in the food? He's not just going after the boss, he's targeting the whole company this time.
That's him.
- You sure? - That is him.
Can you arrest him? Brie, all we have right now is a driver's license photo.
Without any physical evidence against him, a judge won't issue a warrant.
So that's it? He just gets away with it so he can do that to more women? (SCOFFS) (INDISTINCT CHATTER) Hey, let me know if you need anything, okay? Yeah, sure.
Browsing or shopping, my man? Neither.
LAPD.
Where were you last night, Mr.
Tanner? I was here working late.
Yeah? What's that ink on your hand? That stamp doesn't prove that you were at the Astral Club last night? Well, I took a break, went out for a quick drink.
Then I came back here, worked late.
You know, a woman got roofied at that club last night, and she ID'd you as the man who drugged her.
Look, I don't know a lot about roofies, but doesn't it affect your memory? Because if she's saying that I slipped her something, she's lying.
You calling my sister a liar? - Your sister? - That's right.
Man, I don't know what you're talking about.
I never met your sister.
Wait.
(SNAPS FINGERS) There was a black lady.
That was your sister? She tried to pick me up.
She was so wasted that she could barely stay on her feet.
That's-that's not really my thing.
She had enough Rohypnol in her system to take out six grown-ass men.
Would you consent to me searching the premises to make sure you ain't got nothing lying around here like that? Uh, you know, I don't think so.
What's the problem if you're innocent? Look, I don't like how you're trying to intimidate me.
I didn't have anything to do with what happened to your sister; I hope she's okay, though.
Oh, yeah, she's fine because she got away.
Unlike the other women that you drugged and raped.
(LAUGHS) You got the wrong guy.
Look, no offense, but what little that I remember about your sister, she's, uh, not really my type.
Did you try the club? They got cameras, don't they? Oh, that's smooth.
You know they don't.
Oh.
So, let me get this straight.
You come into my place with some personal beef on your own time, you scare away my customers Ain't nobody buying this trash.
and you accuse me of being a rapist, with no evidence.
Which you can't ever get because nothing happened.
I don't have to talk to you.
I'm asking you to respect my rights and leave.
All right.
What are you doing? Well, I mean, if you're telling the truth, your DNA is not gonna match up to any rape kits in the system, so no worries, right? Right.
Well, what does DNA prove? That I had sex with some women? That doesn't mean it wasn't consensual.
Let me tell you something.
If you ever drug or hurt another woman, I will bypass this little half-assed security system of yours, and I will wait right here, inside, until you get home.
You'll go reach in the fridge for a beer, maybe you'll try to pull your clothes out of the dryer, and when you turn around, this will be the last face that you ever see.
Do you understand me? You ain't the only one who can get away with things, Liam.
I could report you for threatening me.
Oh, please, please, go ahead and make that call because I will wait.
Let's let 'em look into all of if.
(PHONE BUZZING) Yeah, what's going on, Captain? All right, where do you need me? I'm on my way.
Hey, what's up, guys? So, my buddy and I, we just, uh, - we just moved in over there.
- Yeah, we ain't blind.
You're Shorty, right? You're Marcos Guzman's little brother.
What's it to you? Why are you harassing us? No, we're not harassing you, we just want to talk to you.
- STREET: Man to man.
- Yeah, look, it's all good that you guys hang out here and everything, but this is a public space for everybody in the neighborhood, you know? Well, we ain't stopping nobody.
(SPANISH HIP-HOP MUSIC PLAYING) Hey, Shorty, tell your brother I can get that warrant off his head, but him and is crew got to meet us here tonight for a little conversation.
STREET: Whatcha doing? Just making friends.
Starting at the top.
(CHRIS WHISTLES) Captain called.
There's a developing situation.
She needs a few extra bodies.
Let's roll! MUMFORD: The suspect is in possession of ricin.
Evacuate the buildings.
DANI: You said he was targeting the cafeteria food.
This stuff is lethal if it gets airborne.
Evacuate the entire campus.
Do it.
Get everyone out.
Move! Iris, Iris.
Do you recognize this man? No.
Who is he? It's-it's Deborah's boyfriend.
That's not her boyfriend.
She's dating Joe, the facilities manager.
- That's how she got the job here.
- Wait a minute, wait a second, how much access does he have to this campus? All of it.
Okay.
Go, go.
So Deborah hooks up with Joe, steals his codes or his pass, gives Charlie access to the building.
- Joe's not answering.
- MUMFORD: Street, Tan, get everybody out of here now.
Everybody else with me.
DANI: Okay, it's this way.
Hey, everybody.
Let's go.
- Out! Come on, let's go.
- Okay, we gotta move.
Move.
- (FIRE ALARM WAILING) - Everybody out this way, come on.
(PANICKED CHATTER) Clear.
Looks like Charlie beat us.
- Oh, God, that's Joe.
- DEACON: How'd he get past security? I thought there was facial-recognition software.
The system recognizes faces or fingerprints.
Um, hey, hey.
- Can you locate him? - Well, if he's using Joe's Uh Wait, it's not working.
- I'm locked out.
- Wait, there.
- Where's he going? - What's on the third floor? Uh, the CEO's suite and the boardroom.
- And access to the roof.
- MUMFORD: That's the AC.
He's targeting the central air system.
Come on, let's move! That'll spread the ricin everywhere.
Let's go.
Come on, come on, guys, come on! Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go! Hey, hold up, hold up.
The system sealed all the doors.
MUMFORD: Break it down.
DEACON: That's three layers of steel.
It's gonna need a charge.
Gonna take more than one.
He must have forced Joe to undo everyone's permissions.
I can't get online.
- What's that mean? - He's in control of the building.
He's sealed all the doors so no one can get out.
- Make a hole, make a hole.
back it up.
- Let me through! Let me through! Get it open.
Let's go, get it open.
Can you cut the AC? - Chris, you set? - Clear.
- Look out.
- CHRIS: Breach, three, two, one.
Go, go, go.
Rocker, cut the power to all the buildings.
Where's the circuit breaker? Electrical room, outside, northwest corner.
- Back up! Back up! - Back up, back up! - It's not budging.
- Ah, it's bulletproof.
Where's my team? STREET: Hondo! Hondo, we can't get the doors open.
Luca, you're with me on the two-three side.
- Chris, you're with me! - On your ten! MUMFORD: 50-David to Command, we have ricin in the central air system.
You've got 60 seconds max to clear the building.
Get everybody back.
Everybody down.
Get low, get low, get low.
Everyone down, turn around, take cover.
Cover your eyes.
Cover your face.
(EXPLOSION) I got to find the electrical shut-off point.
- This way, this way.
- STREET: All right, everyone, let's go.
- Come on, let's go! - Come on, come on! Move! Move! Move! come on.
(GRUNTS) Rocker.
I'm out of charges.
You? - I'm out, too.
- Me, too.
Uh Show me your knife.
DEACON: 30-David to Command, suspect's in the adjacent building.
50-David's in foot pursuit.
He's in the atrium.
We're locked out.
Move! Move! Come on, let's go! Hurry! Mumford has the suspect.
He's fighting on the fourth floor at the two-three corner.
We can't get to him.
Mumford! (SHOUTS) - Took you long enough.
(EXCITED CHATTER) - It happened so fast.
- 'Cause he's a beast.
(LAUGHTER) Hondo.
Thanks for coming in on your day off.
If I had known what happened to your sister, I wouldn't have called you in.
I'm happy to be here.
Hey, what happened to your sister? She's fine now.
(LAUGHTER) Congratulations.
I heard the fight got nasty.
Go see the medic.
Get yourself checked out.
Ah, the EMTs fixed me up.
I'm good.
The FBI swept Charlie's computer.
He and Deborah have been planning this for months.
When you made him at the drugstore, they figured it was now or never.
DEACON: If Mumford hadn't recognized him? - The body count? - We stopped him.
Hell of a day out there.
End of shift.
Go enjoy.
All right, party at mine! We're gonna fire up the grills, ice some beers.
- Who's coming? - You might want to say no.
It's still your anniversary.
Unless you want to end up on the couch.
No joke, that.
Sorry man, I can't.
Yeah, I got a security gig.
I'm out.
- When do you find time to sleep? - With a new baby on the way? Might as well get used to it.
Mumford, how about you? I can't.
Nikki's waiting for me at home.
Ah, you two lovebirds.
The honeymoon still ain't over? - Never.
- (LAUGHS) Good man.
All right, just us, then.
Three makes it a party, right? - (CHUCKLES) Yeah.
- Hell, yeah.
So Bonnie wants to seal the deal, huh? Seems like.
Are there bridal magazines popping up in unexpected places? That's how Annie let me know.
No, she wants me to meet her parents.
That's a major move.
Or she just wants you to meet her parents.
How do you ever know who you want to spend the rest of your life with? I have no clue who I'll be five years from now, let alone 50.
Well, you hope you get 50 years together.
That's terrifying.
You don't want to marry the wrong one, but you don't want to be so scared that you don't marry the right one, either.
I mean, look at Hondo and Luca.
God love 'em, but I bet they weren't planning on dying single.
I hear you.
Hey, hey.
You did pretty good in the major leagues.
Little more practice, you might get drafted.
(EXHALES) So what happened? I had a talk with the guy.
And? I got his DNA.
But you know it'll take months to process.
And even if there's a hit, he's already claiming consent.
And no proof, just like you tried to tell me.
Maybe you scared him enough with the DNA that he won't do it again.
I threatened to kill him if he did.
What? It felt righteous.
It wasn't.
Why are you even telling me? Because you asked.
A cop threatening a civilian? I definitely did not just hear that.
He ain't a civilian, he's a rapist.
A suspected rapist.
(SIGHS) Hondo, I know you want to punish this guy, and I get it.
You don't think I'm angry? That women everywhere aren't angry right now? There's a part of me that wishes you would've done more than just threaten him, but that is a slippery slope.
- I know that.
- We both worked too hard to get where we are.
And you know we don't get second chances.
You got to get a handle on this before it takes you somewhere that you can't come back from.
(SIGHS) I just dragged myself out of a messy marriage.
This? This was supposed to be easy, light.
A fun time.
Maybe I bring out the worst in you.
- This is not about you.
- I know.
It's just something you say at a time like this.
I'm not what you signed up for.
We both knew this wasn't gonna be long-term.
I want to see you deal with this, whatever this is but I'm not the one to help you.
Maybe we should Take a break? Yeah.
Nia.
Take care of yourself.
I mean that.
You, too.
(SIGHS) All right.
Nice job on the courts, man.
Thanks for coming through when I called an audible.
SARZO: We can get working on the house tomorrow.
Gonna take some time.
Roger that.
I'm in it for the long haul.
Street and I, we can rough it for a while, you know? - This is nice.
- STREET: Thanks for the help, man.
- Cheers, brother.
- Hey, um, so what did Chris do for Uncle Sarzo that he owes her this big favor? Make, like, a dozen parking tickets disappear, - or what? - Yeah, right, man.
She doesn't break the rules.
Not even for family.
Uh, when I was 12, I caught a leukemia diagnosis.
And, um, Chris was a match.
She donated bone marrow, saved my life.
Did you just tell him? And she hates people knowing she's a hero.
All I did was lie on a gurney.
It's not a big deal.
- Sure it is.
- So you wait all this time to call in this favor and you use it on me and Luca? Don't flatter yourself.
I call it in all the time.
(LAUGHTER) Yeah, like, every other day.
Oh.
Hey, Timo.
You want to play? Can I play? Five minutes, then straight home.
Yeah! Okay, we got a game going! - Let's go, Timo! - (LAUGHTER) Yeah! All right! Timo! In the bucket, yeah.
Hey, you guys want to play, too? No? Okay, foul.
Call the cops.
Oh, wait.
- (LAUGHS) - (HIP-HOP MUSIC PLAYING) Get it in, get it in, get it in.
- Yeah! - Yeah! - What? - Timo! LUCA: Give me a high-five.
Here we go, Chris.
(BASKETBALL BOUNCING) (CHEERING) Hang on.
- Hear you want to talk.
- I figured we could set some ground rules.
What you even doing here? Huh? No place left to gentrify? I mean, if he wanted to gentrify the neighborhood, he would've turned it into a dog park.
LUCA: Look, we live here now, so all we want to do after work is come home, hang out with our buddies and play some ball.
We're not looking to hassle anybody on our off-time.
You think you can fix up the court, change a few light bulbs and now we all good? Hmm? It don't work like that.
Look, I'm just telling you we're not looking for trouble.
But we also can't ignore what we see on the corner.
You know what I mean? There's nothing to see.
So we all understand each other, then? Yeah, we understand.
You want us out of here.
But you see, we were here first.
This is our neighborhood.
You hear me? My family's been on this block since 1969, and we roll deep.
We belong here.
You don't.
You'll figure that out soon enough.
Let's roll.
Well, that went well.
(CAR DOORS CLOSE, ENGINES START) (INDISTINCT VOICE OVER P.
A.
) How you holding up? You okay? Sure.
You found that guy? Yeah.
I had a talk with him.
And I don't think he's gonna hurt anyone else.
And you, for sure, don't have to worry about him.
Come on.
Let's get you home.
I love you, Brie.
I know.
