S.W.A.T. (2017) s03e04 Episode Script
Immunity
1 Previously on "S.
W.
A.
T" The mayor thinks extremely highly of S.
W.
A.
T.
That's why she's placing me here as a consultant outside the chain of command.
I'm your friend, Commander.
- TAN: Bonnie.
- LUCA: Who's Bonnie? TAN: Girl I've been dating.
I mentioned her.
She kind of stays at my place now.
It's sort of getting serious.
You know I totally want to end up with you, right? I know.
HONDO: Your doctors say you can't live alone, and your family's not here; we're in L.
A.
I have been looking after him for over a year now, by the way.
HONDO: I know, and I appreciate it.
- How long you been staying here? - About three weeks.
Me and Moms have been trying real hard to create a stable environment for Darryl.
You cannot inject yourself into the boy's life unless you intend to stay in it.
Don't you let that old man pull one over on you.
Yes, ma'am.
Do you know what kind of damage you can do to Darryl? I know the damage that I did to you, and I can't go back and change that.
Time and regrets, they can change a man, son.
(SPOON CLINKING) I didn't even hear you come in last night.
Hey.
Morning, beautiful.
Morning.
Yeah, I snuck in late after an extended shift.
That was the best I've slept in months.
Like a baby.
(CHUCKLES) Me, too.
I blame the wine, though.
I think I might have had a little bit too much.
I'm sorry for leaving such a disaster.
I just didn't want to have to deal last night.
Don't worry about it.
No wonder you slept so well.
Calissa's pot gummies.
She brought them over, but we didn't get to them.
Wait, those are, uh, edibles? - Pot gummies? - Yeah, but they're totally legal.
Bonnie, this stuff stays in your system a long time.
I get drug-tested at work.
Seriously? - Like, on a regular basis? - It's random, but if-if I test positive, or if I'm in an officer-involved shooting, the city could be on the hook for millions.
I can get fired.
Why would you just leave these sitting here? I-I'm sorry.
I am.
I am I'm so sorry.
Listen, I'll tell your boss that it wasn't your fault.
You can blame me.
I don't mind.
This is not on you.
It's on me.
I got to come forward and report this.
Why? - Because if they find out some other way, I could be fired.
Would you prefer that? (SIGHS) Can't be afraid to get your hands dirty, Darryl.
It's all good.
I got gloves on.
(COUGHING) - You okay? - Yeah, I'm fine.
Damn, Pop.
I didn't think we'd get started up this early.
Yeah, well, by the time you finish your coffee, we'll be done.
Darryl's picking up things really quick.
DARRYL: All right, so I tightened up the oil pan.
- Hopefully, that'll stop the leak.
- HONDO: Get out here, kid.
Come on, big man.
Don't tell me my pop's still got you - providing free labor.
- Free? I'm teaching this boy valuable lessons.
Marketable skills.
Also said if we're done by noon, he's buying lunch at Apple Pan.
See, I told him, if you learn how to fix things, you'll never go hungry.
Tire pressure's on you, latecomer.
Okay, for the record, I think I'm the only one who logged 18 hours yesterday, Pop.
Did you fix anything in those 18 hours? (CHUCKLES) Sir, yes, sir.
That's what's up.
DARRYL: After losing to Marcus in that tacky Ford coupe of his, we got to win first place - the next competition.
- (COUGHING) - Hey, Pop.
- Hmm? You feeling okay? I will be, soon as I get my baby done.
(LAUGHS SOFTLY, COUGHING) It looks like you and my pops getting along really good.
You actually learning a little something? Yeah, every day.
(DANIEL COUGHING) What are you two staring at? Get back to work.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER) Oh, gosh.
Uh, well, how about an arrangement of some - Dad, can I get this? - No, put that back.
(LAUGHS) orchids? Some lilies, maybe a few zinnias? So, we already paid the contractor to fix up our house.
Now we got to get him a gift on top of that? Well, it's his wife's 50th birthday.
It's important.
Yeah, so is a collective 16 years of college.
Says the guy with a five-dollar cup of coffee.
Hey, if you loved me, you would not point out my hypocrisy.
(CHUCKLES) Well, you deserve your weekly treat.
- Mwah.
- (CRYING) - Aw.
- Aw.
Come on.
Okay.
Who wants ice cream? BOTH: Yeah! - Yeah? Can I get flowers, Daddy? All right, which one do you want? - LILA: All of them.
- All of them? ANNIE: There you go.
I know.
I know.
Tell me which ones you want.
- (TIRES SCREECHING) - (SCREAMING, FRANTIC CHATTER) (RAPID GUNFIRE) Go.
Annie, go.
Kids, get down.
Stay with your mother.
Annie, call 911! Stay down! Don't move! Daddy! It's okay, baby.
I'll be right back.
(GUNFIRE CONTINUES) LAPD! Stop! (VICTORIA CRYING) Dispatch, this is 30-David, off duty, 10-71 at the downtown Flower Outlet.
I've got several wounded.
Need an R/A at the location immediately.
I have one suspect in custody.
Two shooters still at large in the vicinity.
Requesting 1-1-4 on site.
Roll SWAT.
Over.
COP 1: Deacon! My team fanned out, swept the perimeter.
No sign of the shooters.
Cleared out quick.
Press is already speculating this was a mass shooting.
No, not the way they assume.
These guys looked military-trained.
They were targeting the vendors.
There's got to be some motive behind it.
Either way, we're canvassing security camera footage and sending it back to HQ with the suspect you bagged.
DEACON: Roger that.
You took care of business, Deac.
Did everything you could.
Glad you're safe, pal.
- Thanks.
- CHRIS: Deac! Heard it over the radio, got here as soon as I could.
You good? Yeah, I'm good, but four dead, six wounded.
- Annie and the kids? - They're at mobile command.
Annie's a rock, but the kids are freaked.
I can't imagine what they're thinking.
Probably that their dad kicked ass, kept them safe and handled the situation.
So much for a quiet day out with the family.
Daddy.
Aw.
Hey, Lila.
I'm sorry I kept you waiting.
Mommy got you flowers? No, I bought them.
- Really? - For you.
Thank you, sweetheart.
Hey.
Come here.
Aw, come here.
Yo, Hondo, you hear what happened to Deacon and Annie? Yeah, and there's two shooters still out there.
- Yep.
- And Annie and the kids got to be pretty shaken up.
Yeah, Annie's a warrior, man.
Knowing her, she probably had it all on lockdown, kept the little ones safe, too.
Well, happy ending or not, these guys came after one of us.
That means all hands on deck until we get the rest and anybody else responsible, and I'm not waiting for RHD.
- Yeah, you bet.
- We'll grab Chris and Tan, see what we can dig up on this guy Deacon brought in.
HICKS: Who hired you and your other motorcycle buddies? Listen, if you think this silent, tough-guy routine's gonna help you, you're mistaken.
You've only got one chance to help yourself, and that's to start talking.
For starters, you can tell us about your two motorcycle friends.
LYNCH: Obviously, this wasn't just a thrill ride or some good old hell-raising.
Why target the Flower Outlet? Someone sent you, didn't they? Look, if you're afraid your boss might be able - to get to you - I'm not afraid of anyone.
HICKS: You afraid of going to the state penitentiary, hmm? LYNCH: Not gonna have many friends there, being a Colombian.
Look, you're in this all alone.
Whether you like it or not, we're the only friends They getting anywhere? No, he's not talking.
Not surprised, though.
The way those guys moved, coordinated, without hesitation They're pros.
All the shootings, the craziness we see day after day it's a whole nother matter when it touches the people we love.
It's just, this was too close.
I'm the one that's supposed to be in danger, not them.
Deacon, the important thing is, you kept 'em safe.
And a lot of other people there, too.
Here we go.
Our guy's got a Colombian flag tattoo, right? So I ran his prints through the South American Interpol database.
Get a little of that Luca luck? You know it.
He's a Colombian national.
Name is Yerry Manuel Chara.
Deac, Luca got our guy Yerry Chara.
He was a member of a Colombian rebel group known as "FARC.
" They fought the government for decades.
DEACON: Considered a terrorist organization.
Used to fund their operations moving cocaine.
Yeah, until they mostly disbanded back in 2016 after a treaty.
So, why is one of 'em in L.
A.
with a couple of his buddies, - targeting a flower outlet? - I may have found something on that.
A good 60% of the cut flowers that come into the U.
S.
come from Colombia.
Plane-loads of 'em, every day.
What, you think they're smuggling the drugs in with the flowers? Makes sense, given their style.
I mean, the bikes, automatic weapons.
It's reminiscent of old South American narco hit squads.
Ever since the Mexican cartels took over the cocaine trade, the Colombians have been looking for a way back in.
Wait.
Hold on.
Hold on.
Luca, that one right there.
Him.
He was there this morning.
STREET: You sure? - 100%.
He was there.
He was watching just before it all went down.
LUCA: Well, he's wearing general's bars, but there's no name on his uniform.
Then let's figure out who the hell this guy is.
Dude, what's going on? It's not like you to be late, especially on an all-hands day.
I had to stop by the Professional Standards Bureau on the way in.
Wh-Why? What's going on? Last night, I accidentally ate some pot gummies.
Yeah, they were Bonnie's.
Actually, a friend of hers.
Didn't realize what it was until it was too late.
I'm not high or anything.
I slept 'em off.
You tell Hondo yet? Yeah, him and Hicks.
About as cool as they could be, I guess, given the circumstances.
What, so now you're under investigation? Yeah, I had to provide a urine sample, blood, all of it.
Now Standards Bureau's sending a rep.
I got to sit down for an interview.
Hey, you know what kind of questions they're gonna ask? What, 'cause I'm the guy that everyone assumes is always in front of the Standards Bureau? Just tell me what you know.
All right.
From what I've heard and this is pure gossip, mind you they get personal.
You should be fine as long as you don't take it that way.
(SIGHS) Right.
I don't know how to feel.
Thing is, I love Bonnie, but Part of you wonders about her thinking on this? Take it from someone whose judgment gets questioned occasionally.
Cut her some slack.
I don't know.
You know, I haven't introduced her to my mother, any of my family.
Maybe there's an unconscious reason for that.
(CHRIS ASKS QUESTION IN SPANISH) MAN: I'm sorry.
No.
MAN 2: Sorry.
Don't know anything.
Hey, can I talk to you a second? I already spoke to the police.
Yeah, but I'm sure the officer you talked to didn't ask about this guy.
He was there right before the shooting started.
- You know him, don't you? - Look, I really can't help you.
Hey, I don't want to play this card, but I kind of saved your life today.
Who is this guy? His name is Emiliano Murido.
He has you all importing his drugs with your flowers, doesn't he? We have no choice.
He can hurt our families back home in Colombia.
So the shooting today you think he ordered it? Yeah.
Nobody wants to be involved in Murido's drugs.
We just want to sell our flowers.
He must have found out some of us were talking about going to the police.
So this is Murido's way of keeping you all quiet? Kill some and scare the others? We just want to make an honest living.
That's why we came to America, not for this.
What else can you tell us about him? Got home from my shift around 0200.
The gummy worms in question were on the counter.
I ate four or five.
I went to sleep within the hour.
It wasn't till this morning, after I woke up, that I learned the gummy worms contained THC.
At that point, I headed directly to the Standards Bureau as dictated by protocol.
You said the gummies belonged to your girlfriend? - Uh, yeah.
- I need her name.
Uh Bonnie.
Bonnie Lonsdale.
Hey, it's not really her fault.
All right, she would've put them away, but she had a little too much wine last night.
It-it's not like she drinks a lot.
You know, she had a friend over, and they hadn't seen each other for a while.
How would you describe your relationship with Ms.
Lonsdale? Is it serious? Is that really relevant to the investigation? Part of being a cop, particularly a SWAT officer, is making the right choices, on and off the job.
We're gonna need your girlfriend to come down, give us a statement.
She might not be cool with that.
Is she cool with us concluding our investigation without us hearing her testimony? Uh This guy who was always trying to get in my pants in college is with the DEA now, and occasionally, I try to fish for a little info, and apparently, he still can't resist my charms.
Got us a lead on our guy.
General Emiliano Murido.
He's a FARC rebel leader until they signed a peace agreement with the Colombian government in 2016.
FARC was supposed to represent the people, but according to this, he's responsible for hundreds of extrajudicial killings.
Turns out he was a very bad boy, in charge of their extortion rings, kidnappings and bombings.
Not to mention the drug trafficking operation that funded all of it.
LYNCH: Looks like he went off the grid right after the peace treaty.
I'm cuddling up with RHD and Narcotics to find his network and see what his ground game here looks like.
BOLO out on Murido just got a bead on the Bentley he drives.
Just got spotted outside a café on Larchmont.
Pay this dirtbag a visit.
We know he's nasty.
Be safe.
Interesting lady.
Guess she likes to say what's on her mind.
She could spare me some of it.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER) Emiliano Murido.
LAPD SWAT.
We're gonna need you to come answer some questions about the Flower Outlet earlier today.
I'm very busy.
I saw you there before your shooters arrived.
Think you got a lot to answer for.
Perhaps you are making a mistake.
Somehow, I doubt that.
You're coming with us, one way or another.
If you wouldn't mind, call this number first.
Who's gonna pick up? Only one way to find out.
I got a better idea.
Why don't you make the call yourself from our place.
Get up.
(DISTANT SIREN WAILING) (DEACON SIGHS) Hondo, Deacon, this is Agent Devereaux, - CIA.
- Sergeants.
What's the CIA got to do with any of this? They need you to release General Murido.
- Come again, Lieutenant? - You heard me.
You don't have to like it, but you do have to cut him loose.
We have reason to believe, Murido runs - a cocaine operation in L.
A.
- And ordered the hit at the Flower Outlet today.
Four dead vendors, six more wounded.
And what proof do you have that Murido played a part in that? Well, I spoke to one of the vendors forced to import Murido's drugs.
He stated that Murido orchestrated the shooting as a warning not to go to police.
Well, that's conjecture at best.
- Anyone back that story up? - HONDO: He was there.
We caught him on camera before the shooting started.
So all you've really got is footage of Murido shopping for flowers.
HICKS: Come on.
You really think this is a coincidence? What's he giving you that's worth that kind of protection? That's privileged information.
Look, Murido is no angel.
We know that.
But because of his background, he's able to give us valuable intel along Colombia's border with Venezuela, a government hostile to our own.
LYNCH: You're saying Murido could help save lives in that part of the world.
And in exchange, we allow him a certain degree of immunity and provide medical treatment for a viral condition he has.
But there are limits, of course.
I will talk to him, make sure we have him under control.
So you're just gonna turn a blind eye to his drug operation? - And the shootout this morning? - I'd need more proof of his guilt before I just turn him over and abandon the greater good.
Greater good? You didn't see those people killed.
Your priorities are 4,000 miles away on some other continent.
We are worried about the people here in Los Angeles.
Murido's not to be touched, understood? Mess with him again, repercussions will fall on you, Lieutenant Lynch.
(LYNCH SIGHS) That wasn't a fight we were gonna win.
Yo, Hondo.
D.
Everything all right? - Yeah.
- Let's walk.
You know, your pops wanted me to give the car a spin, you know, test out the new carburetor.
So I thought I'd just drive by here since it's not that far.
Wait.
Hold up.
Hold up.
My pops is already letting you drive the six-four? I mean, damn, it took me years before he even let me wash that ride.
Yeah, I guess I just got it like that, yeah.
Hey.
What's really going on with you? (SIGHS) I-I was gonna tell you sooner, but your pops told me not to say anything.
But straight up, I feel like he's sick.
Like, real, real sick.
I've been seeing him coughing up blood lately.
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
What? I seen it happen twice now.
The first time it happened, he said it was "chest pepper," and I don't know what that means.
I guess it's old-school for heartburn or something.
But I know it's not that.
And the second time it happened, I offered to call 911, but he just said he'll deal with it.
All right, Darryl.
It's all right.
Thank you for telling me.
- I'll talk to him.
- All right.
BONNIE: Please don't be tough on Victor.
He didn't know.
This was all my fault.
I am so sorry.
So these pot gummies belonged to you? No.
My friend brought them over.
Please state your friend's name.
That's necessary? Do you know if she purchased the gummies legally? I think so.
Please tell me she's not going to get in trouble for this, too.
No.
I'm just trying to keep the facts straight.
How often do you consume edibles? Uh maybe once a week.
It was a terrible mistake.
I love Victor, and I don't want him getting into any trouble for something that I did.
I can understand that.
Is there anything else the Standards Bureau needs from us? Just patience as we deliberate.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER) I meant everything that I said in there.
I know how important SWAT is to you.
I should have explained all the rules to you before, emphasized what was important, stopped this from getting here.
Thanks, but that's you trying to take responsibility, make me feel better.
Look, I know how much this bothers you.
I just wish you showed better judgment.
Look, if we're gonna be together, what you do reflects on me, and vice-versa.
There are some things that I can't do with you 'cause of this job.
But I also know it's not fair to ask you to be somebody different than who you are, so I don't know.
You're scaring me right now.
Are you saying that you? I don't know what I'm saying.
I'll be right back.
I'm just gonna use the bathroom.
(SIGHS) Hondo, Deacon found an alias Murido used back in Colombia.
We cross-checked with the L.
A.
County Recorder's Office.
One of the names was used to get a business license here.
It's a flower storage warehouse in South Gate where Murido's vendors go to get their weekly flower supply.
Which means it's probably where he stores his drugs.
Okay, hold up.
You heard the CIA.
Murido's untouchable.
He might be.
But what I heard is they wouldn't do anything without more proof.
But as far as I'm concerned, his drug business is fair game.
And if he's swept up in it, so be it.
We gonna tell Lynch about this? No.
Roger that.
Let's roll.
Hondo, our undercover is in the warehouse.
(INDISTINCT, OVERLAPPING CHATTER) STREET: You got to feel for Tan, huh? You think relationships only get in the way of this job? Depends.
For me, job's only gotten in the way of my relationships.
(CROWD CHATTER) Okay, visual confirmation on the drugs.
I got six armed guards two each on the north and south.
The other two walking the center aisle.
(ANNOUNCER SPEAKING SPANISH ON TV) (SHOUTING IN SPANISH) HONDO: LAPD! - STREET: Drop your weapons! - STREET: On the ground! - LUCA: On the ground now! - HONDO: LAPD! - STREET: On the ground! Hands behind your back! LAPD.
Get down now.
LAPD! (OVERLAPPING SHOUTING) (SHOUTING IN SPANISH) (CHRIS SHOUTS IN SPANISH) Hands behind your back! CHRIS: Check this out.
- Anyone want to guess the street value? - DEACON: Call Narcotics.
Have them check every box, all the pallets.
Shut this place down.
Should I fake some niceties or just skip straight to being hopping mad? Why don't you give it to me straight? I just got off the phone with Agent Devereaux expressing the CIA's extreme displeasure.
It was all I could do to keep him from calling the mayor.
Crisis averted, then.
- You went behind my back.
- I'm sorry.
I'm not operating under the impression that I need to clear any of SWAT's actions with you.
Murido was explicitly off limits.
We didn't target Murido.
We did, however, disrupt a major cocaine smuggling operation, which I'm pretty sure is well within our purview.
That's very clever.
I'm sure you're quite smitten with what you've just managed to pull off here, but you are going out on a limb, Commander.
And I hope it works out, I really do, but if it doesn't, I won't have your back.
Didn't think you would.
Okay.
(DOOR CLOSES) You've been keeping your phone on you? I put it aside to work on my car.
I don't like distractions.
It's the kind of dedication my baby deserves.
(CHUCKLES) I called you from work today.
Everything okay? You tell me.
- Appears to be.
- Pop, I hear you've been coughing up blood.
You've been doing a good job of hiding that from me.
Never figured that boy to be a damn snitch.
Got to mind his own business.
This ain't about Darryl, Pop.
It's about your health, man.
I've seen your coughing fits, and they're getting worse.
Coughing fits ain't never killed no one.
- Pop? Pop? - What?! What if it's a symptom of something more dangerous? Don't you know about mind your own store? You're always trying to save everyone.
You're gonna run yourself in the ground sooner or later.
Try worrying about yourself, son.
Don't do that.
Don't you try and make this about me.
Look, I'm an old man.
And one day, you're gonna understand that the future ain't always bright.
Is that why you decided to come back home? Because you wanted to try and fix the past, make up for your mistakes while you still can? I've made my peace with all of that.
Well, some of us haven't.
You want to put your mind at ease? You've came to the wrong place.
(DOOR CLOSES) (TEAKETTLE WHISTLING) I hope the kids will be able to sleep tonight.
Oh, well, not that I have anything to compare it to but I think they're handling the situation pretty well, considering the circumstances.
Maybe helps that Daddy's a cop.
They saw him come to the rescue, get the bad guy.
They shouldn't have seen any of that.
You know, Samuel told his friend that he wasn't afraid, that he knew his dad would save the day.
What did you think? That you were gonna keep your promise to me.
LILA: Can I sleep with you guys? - Of course you can, sweetheart.
Come on.
- Yup.
Come on.
- Hey.
- Looks like it's you and me and Mommy.
And the Tickle Monster.
- (BOTH LAUGH) - Ah, got you.
(MUTTERS) (ENGINES REVVING) David? - (BEEPING) - (GUNFIRE CONTINUES) Stay low.
Listen to my voice.
(VICTORIA CRYING) Boys, stay down.
- (CRYING) - (GUNFIRE CONTINUES) - (ENGINES REVVING) - (VICTORIA CRYING) (TIRES SCREECHING, ENGINES REVVING) (PANTING) You draw this? (INDISTINCT CHATTER) Hey, kids, you get hungry, I got some shucos and tepache.
Man, this stuff is yum, yum, yum, yum.
You're gonna love it, man.
And I brought some sandwiches and snacks for you and the kids.
I really appreciate you guys coming in while off duty.
- I mean, you didn't have to do it.
- Are you kidding me, Deac? An attack on one of us is an attack on all of us.
Anything you need.
- It's just a family thing.
- Yeah, man.
Hey.
That is yums.
Whoa! (LAUGHING) Hey.
How you holding up? This time? Not fine.
Murido ordered this because of our bust.
- You know that.
- I do, and we're gonna go after him.
Not if Lynch gets in the way.
And what if the CIA keeps protecting him? You better choose your next words carefully, Devereaux.
Sergeant, I heard about what happened at your home.
I can't imagine what you must be going through.
Just relieved that you and your family were unharmed.
They were Murido's men.
They were targeting my wife and my children as payback.
I get that you're pissed.
I would be, too.
But if this is payback like you're saying, wasn't it set in motion by messing with their boss, who we told you was off-limits? Okay, that right there does not sound like an apology.
I don't know what I would be apologizing for.
We gave you an order, you ignored it, - there were consequences.
- Deac! - Get off! - Deacon! - Get off! - Deacon! Deac! Get him off! Deacon, that's enough.
That's enough, man.
Murido made a run at Deacon's family.
Now, you got to explain how you're gonna make it right.
And he will.
Agent Devereaux, why don't the three of us talk privately in my office? Where I come from, street cops don't touch agents.
Where I come from, people with badges don't protect killers.
(DOOR OPENS, CLOSES) So this comes down to Lynch and the CIA? That's just great.
My sergeant and his kids are spending the night here under our protection.
The line's been crossed.
We need to deal with the fact that your asset had a cop and his family attacked in their own home.
We don't have definitive proof of that.
And if you did, what would you do to Murido? Give him a good talking-to? I'm trying to balance two competing interests here.
How would you like a story in the L.
A.
Times about the CIA doing business with a South American drug lord? Wouldn't be the first time you fellas tried dirty tricks in this city.
Freeway Rick, Iran Contra.
You think a reporter might be interested in that story? You know I can't give you Murido.
Then give us something else.
(SIGHS) Brave kids.
You taught 'em well.
No, no.
Annie did that.
(VICTORIA COOS) I promised her I'd always keep our family safe.
What am I doing if I can't keep that promise? Well, it looks like you lived up to it to me.
(VICTORIA FUSSES) (SIGHS) Annie? Bonnie.
I heard what happened.
- Oh, I can't believe it.
- Mm.
I mean, how do you even deal with all of this? Oh, I'm just grateful everyone's okay.
I heard about why you're here.
Mm.
I really screwed up.
Hey, it's not easy.
I mean, I-I have to make sure that my kids' poppy seed bagels don't ever get anywhere near David's.
Can't test positive for opiates.
- Hmm.
- You know, being with a cop, especially a SWAT officer it's just different.
I envy what you and Deacon have.
ANNIE: Oh, you got to know what you're getting into.
But if you're with a man that you love, there is no bigger reward than a SWAT family.
Just had your house shot up.
Annie still seems unshakeable.
Guessing she was built to be a cop's wife.
No.
Not in the beginning.
No, took time and some convincing that I was someone worth betting on, that all the late nights and the worrying was gonna be worth it.
I just hope it still is for her.
I hadn't thought of it that way before.
We ask too much of them.
HONDO: Pop, I've been trying to reach you, man, but, listen, something's going on with Deacon and his family that I got to look into, but this is my third voice mail.
I know you're trying to duck me.
Now, stop it.
- Just call me back.
- Hondo.
Pop, we need to talk.
Tell us we got the green light to go after Murido.
Is the CIA handing him over? - Not exactly.
- This is so screwed up.
Commander, we can't keep carrying the Agency's water, not with Deacon's house getting shot up with his kids inside.
Hondo, dial it down for a second.
They won't give up Murido, because they can't.
But we got them to give us the final cog of his drug business.
Murido's got an inside guy at customs who lets his cocaine slip through.
We flip him, should allow us to bring the operation down for good.
First, we pick up our guy.
Name is Howard McReady.
Let's bring him in.
I don't want to go to prison.
Murido threatened to kill me and my family.
What choice did he give me? The easy choice was to take his payoffs.
That was a bad deal.
Should've come to us first.
We would've made you a better one.
You guys have guns and badges.
You can protect yourselves.
What can I do against a guy like that? Well, we can keep you safe from this point on, but you're gonna tell us about every shipment that you let come through customs for him.
What about the one coming in tonight? It's Murido's biggest delivery from Bogotá.
- What time is it getting in? - Next couple hours.
I heard the warehouse in South Gate got raided.
Can't take his supply there no more.
He's gonna need someplace new.
Any bright ideas where? I won't know until I see him at customs tonight, but if I'm not there, he's gonna know something's up, - get spooked.
- Okay.
We need to find him some clothes.
You're working tonight, for us.
Guess I see you back to them.
Pick you up something on the way? I'm not really hungry.
Look, if being with you means stopping the edibles, I am done with them.
You are more important to me than them or anything else.
I feel the same way.
It's also on me to make sure we're solid the way Deacon and Annie are.
I know we can be.
No.
We will be.
Caveat emptor, young lady.
Sorry, what? Buyer beware, especially when the goods are bad.
Screen came back on the pot gummies.
They're pretty lame.
- Barely any potency.
- Wait, that's good news.
Traces were negligible.
Also, the Standards Bureau found no intent or impropriety.
You did it by the book, and they took that into consideration, too.
They also appreciated you coming in today, advocating for Victor, so you've been officially exonerated.
Yes! Team's gearing up in the motor pool.
I'm back on active duty? If you hurry, catch your squad before they leave the building.
(CHUCKLES) - Go.
And be careful.
- You heard the young lady.
Beat it.
(SIGHS) (SIREN WAILING) LUCA: 22-David to Command, show 114 en route to location.
- Nice having you back with us, Tan.
- Thanks.
I was worried I might not see the front seat again.
Yeah, well, you can thank Street for keeping it warm for you.
STREET: Hey, you sure you want in on this mission? We're raiding a coke operation, not a grow farm.
TAN: Ha ha.
You know, Street, I thought I'd see what it was like for you getting kicked off SWAT, but I backed out last minute.
Ooh, ouch, I got to give that round to Tan, Street.
Coke shipment gets into LAX in ten minutes.
The contact's gonna let us know when the convoy's fully loaded - and about to leave.
- Then we grab the drugs at the customs depot before they hit the road.
We end Murido's operation for good.
And if the big guy happens to be there, all the better.
Thank you.
(SIREN WAILING) LAPD! Get on the ground! Do it now! (CHRIS SHOUTING IN SPANISH) STREET: Drop your weapons! On the ground! TAN: LAPD! (SHOUTING IN SPANISH) LAPD! Do it now! Hands behind your back! Come on! Murido.
LAPD! Get on your knees! Stay down.
Police.
Stop right there.
I don't have to obey you.
- I work for the CIA.
- Yeah, well, I got to call them to come down and get you.
So, until then, you stay.
(GROANING) Let me know if those are too tight for you.
Guess who we happened to find at the drug seizure.
(SIGHS) Tell your guys to uncuff him, please.
The cuffs stay on.
His two hit squad shooters talked.
They'll testify that Murido ordered the Flower Outlet shooting and the attack on Deacon's house.
That's multiple homicides.
I'm pretty sure that meets your threshold of proof, Agent Devereaux.
I gave you his entire operation.
We had a deal.
We still do, as long as you stick to the terms.
Murido gets official persona non grata designation from the State Department.
You take him back to Colombia.
He can give you all the valuable intel you need down there, but he never sets foot in the U.
S.
again.
And what about his medical treatments? That's not our problem.
But I have to figure flying the medication down to him has to be cheaper than flying him up every month.
(SIGHS) I guess I have no choice, do I? No, you don't.
Not unless you want to read about it in the papers tomorrow.
(SIGHS) We got what we wanted.
Murido's gone, and his coke's off our streets.
I'm glad it worked out.
Would've been awkward being on a panel having to choose your replacement.
You know, one of these days very soon, you're gonna have to make a decision.
What decision is that? Whether you're one of us or not.
You know, when I told you and your men that Murido was off limits, I knew you'd still go after him.
You got your man, and I preserved my and the city's relationship with the Feds.
We both won.
And the answer to your question, Commander, is: I'm one of you when I need to be and I'm not when I don't.
- How convenient.
- We'll figure it out as we go, on a case-by-case basis.
See you tomorrow.
Come here.
(CELL PHONE CHIMES) Oh, my sister says that we can stay at her place.
(SIGHS) Daddy, are you sure it's safe now? Yeah, honey, it's very safe.
You promise? Come here.
(GRUNTS) Lila, I promise.
You can always trust me.
- Let's go.
- Okay.
(CHUCKLES) (COUGHS) What's the deal, Pop? Talk to me.
It ain't cool you ignoring me like this.
I got your voice mails.
I knew you'd come home safe.
You always do.
How's Deacon? Deacon's gonna be all right.
His family, too.
Glad to hear that.
Another long day, huh? That ain't important right now, Pop.
Look, I need you to come with me.
I got to get you to the doctor.
- Don't want no damn doctor.
- Pop, you are sick.
- I know I'm sick! - (TOOLS CLATTER) Don't need no doctor telling me what I already know, okay? Are you for real right now? This could be serious.
Look, I don't know how much time I got left, okay? But I don't want it spent being poked and prodded and monitored, and having everybody feeling sorry for me.
Look, I wasn't there for you when you needed me, so you don't owe me nothing.
This ain't about owing you anything.
I'm your son, and if there's something wrong with you, I'm gonna help you get through it.
Who you kidding? I don't deserve your help.
You know what? Maybe you don't, but you damn sure gonna get it.
So, that's what's up? That's what's up.
Okay, then.
W.
A.
T" The mayor thinks extremely highly of S.
W.
A.
T.
That's why she's placing me here as a consultant outside the chain of command.
I'm your friend, Commander.
- TAN: Bonnie.
- LUCA: Who's Bonnie? TAN: Girl I've been dating.
I mentioned her.
She kind of stays at my place now.
It's sort of getting serious.
You know I totally want to end up with you, right? I know.
HONDO: Your doctors say you can't live alone, and your family's not here; we're in L.
A.
I have been looking after him for over a year now, by the way.
HONDO: I know, and I appreciate it.
- How long you been staying here? - About three weeks.
Me and Moms have been trying real hard to create a stable environment for Darryl.
You cannot inject yourself into the boy's life unless you intend to stay in it.
Don't you let that old man pull one over on you.
Yes, ma'am.
Do you know what kind of damage you can do to Darryl? I know the damage that I did to you, and I can't go back and change that.
Time and regrets, they can change a man, son.
(SPOON CLINKING) I didn't even hear you come in last night.
Hey.
Morning, beautiful.
Morning.
Yeah, I snuck in late after an extended shift.
That was the best I've slept in months.
Like a baby.
(CHUCKLES) Me, too.
I blame the wine, though.
I think I might have had a little bit too much.
I'm sorry for leaving such a disaster.
I just didn't want to have to deal last night.
Don't worry about it.
No wonder you slept so well.
Calissa's pot gummies.
She brought them over, but we didn't get to them.
Wait, those are, uh, edibles? - Pot gummies? - Yeah, but they're totally legal.
Bonnie, this stuff stays in your system a long time.
I get drug-tested at work.
Seriously? - Like, on a regular basis? - It's random, but if-if I test positive, or if I'm in an officer-involved shooting, the city could be on the hook for millions.
I can get fired.
Why would you just leave these sitting here? I-I'm sorry.
I am.
I am I'm so sorry.
Listen, I'll tell your boss that it wasn't your fault.
You can blame me.
I don't mind.
This is not on you.
It's on me.
I got to come forward and report this.
Why? - Because if they find out some other way, I could be fired.
Would you prefer that? (SIGHS) Can't be afraid to get your hands dirty, Darryl.
It's all good.
I got gloves on.
(COUGHING) - You okay? - Yeah, I'm fine.
Damn, Pop.
I didn't think we'd get started up this early.
Yeah, well, by the time you finish your coffee, we'll be done.
Darryl's picking up things really quick.
DARRYL: All right, so I tightened up the oil pan.
- Hopefully, that'll stop the leak.
- HONDO: Get out here, kid.
Come on, big man.
Don't tell me my pop's still got you - providing free labor.
- Free? I'm teaching this boy valuable lessons.
Marketable skills.
Also said if we're done by noon, he's buying lunch at Apple Pan.
See, I told him, if you learn how to fix things, you'll never go hungry.
Tire pressure's on you, latecomer.
Okay, for the record, I think I'm the only one who logged 18 hours yesterday, Pop.
Did you fix anything in those 18 hours? (CHUCKLES) Sir, yes, sir.
That's what's up.
DARRYL: After losing to Marcus in that tacky Ford coupe of his, we got to win first place - the next competition.
- (COUGHING) - Hey, Pop.
- Hmm? You feeling okay? I will be, soon as I get my baby done.
(LAUGHS SOFTLY, COUGHING) It looks like you and my pops getting along really good.
You actually learning a little something? Yeah, every day.
(DANIEL COUGHING) What are you two staring at? Get back to work.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER) Oh, gosh.
Uh, well, how about an arrangement of some - Dad, can I get this? - No, put that back.
(LAUGHS) orchids? Some lilies, maybe a few zinnias? So, we already paid the contractor to fix up our house.
Now we got to get him a gift on top of that? Well, it's his wife's 50th birthday.
It's important.
Yeah, so is a collective 16 years of college.
Says the guy with a five-dollar cup of coffee.
Hey, if you loved me, you would not point out my hypocrisy.
(CHUCKLES) Well, you deserve your weekly treat.
- Mwah.
- (CRYING) - Aw.
- Aw.
Come on.
Okay.
Who wants ice cream? BOTH: Yeah! - Yeah? Can I get flowers, Daddy? All right, which one do you want? - LILA: All of them.
- All of them? ANNIE: There you go.
I know.
I know.
Tell me which ones you want.
- (TIRES SCREECHING) - (SCREAMING, FRANTIC CHATTER) (RAPID GUNFIRE) Go.
Annie, go.
Kids, get down.
Stay with your mother.
Annie, call 911! Stay down! Don't move! Daddy! It's okay, baby.
I'll be right back.
(GUNFIRE CONTINUES) LAPD! Stop! (VICTORIA CRYING) Dispatch, this is 30-David, off duty, 10-71 at the downtown Flower Outlet.
I've got several wounded.
Need an R/A at the location immediately.
I have one suspect in custody.
Two shooters still at large in the vicinity.
Requesting 1-1-4 on site.
Roll SWAT.
Over.
COP 1: Deacon! My team fanned out, swept the perimeter.
No sign of the shooters.
Cleared out quick.
Press is already speculating this was a mass shooting.
No, not the way they assume.
These guys looked military-trained.
They were targeting the vendors.
There's got to be some motive behind it.
Either way, we're canvassing security camera footage and sending it back to HQ with the suspect you bagged.
DEACON: Roger that.
You took care of business, Deac.
Did everything you could.
Glad you're safe, pal.
- Thanks.
- CHRIS: Deac! Heard it over the radio, got here as soon as I could.
You good? Yeah, I'm good, but four dead, six wounded.
- Annie and the kids? - They're at mobile command.
Annie's a rock, but the kids are freaked.
I can't imagine what they're thinking.
Probably that their dad kicked ass, kept them safe and handled the situation.
So much for a quiet day out with the family.
Daddy.
Aw.
Hey, Lila.
I'm sorry I kept you waiting.
Mommy got you flowers? No, I bought them.
- Really? - For you.
Thank you, sweetheart.
Hey.
Come here.
Aw, come here.
Yo, Hondo, you hear what happened to Deacon and Annie? Yeah, and there's two shooters still out there.
- Yep.
- And Annie and the kids got to be pretty shaken up.
Yeah, Annie's a warrior, man.
Knowing her, she probably had it all on lockdown, kept the little ones safe, too.
Well, happy ending or not, these guys came after one of us.
That means all hands on deck until we get the rest and anybody else responsible, and I'm not waiting for RHD.
- Yeah, you bet.
- We'll grab Chris and Tan, see what we can dig up on this guy Deacon brought in.
HICKS: Who hired you and your other motorcycle buddies? Listen, if you think this silent, tough-guy routine's gonna help you, you're mistaken.
You've only got one chance to help yourself, and that's to start talking.
For starters, you can tell us about your two motorcycle friends.
LYNCH: Obviously, this wasn't just a thrill ride or some good old hell-raising.
Why target the Flower Outlet? Someone sent you, didn't they? Look, if you're afraid your boss might be able - to get to you - I'm not afraid of anyone.
HICKS: You afraid of going to the state penitentiary, hmm? LYNCH: Not gonna have many friends there, being a Colombian.
Look, you're in this all alone.
Whether you like it or not, we're the only friends They getting anywhere? No, he's not talking.
Not surprised, though.
The way those guys moved, coordinated, without hesitation They're pros.
All the shootings, the craziness we see day after day it's a whole nother matter when it touches the people we love.
It's just, this was too close.
I'm the one that's supposed to be in danger, not them.
Deacon, the important thing is, you kept 'em safe.
And a lot of other people there, too.
Here we go.
Our guy's got a Colombian flag tattoo, right? So I ran his prints through the South American Interpol database.
Get a little of that Luca luck? You know it.
He's a Colombian national.
Name is Yerry Manuel Chara.
Deac, Luca got our guy Yerry Chara.
He was a member of a Colombian rebel group known as "FARC.
" They fought the government for decades.
DEACON: Considered a terrorist organization.
Used to fund their operations moving cocaine.
Yeah, until they mostly disbanded back in 2016 after a treaty.
So, why is one of 'em in L.
A.
with a couple of his buddies, - targeting a flower outlet? - I may have found something on that.
A good 60% of the cut flowers that come into the U.
S.
come from Colombia.
Plane-loads of 'em, every day.
What, you think they're smuggling the drugs in with the flowers? Makes sense, given their style.
I mean, the bikes, automatic weapons.
It's reminiscent of old South American narco hit squads.
Ever since the Mexican cartels took over the cocaine trade, the Colombians have been looking for a way back in.
Wait.
Hold on.
Hold on.
Luca, that one right there.
Him.
He was there this morning.
STREET: You sure? - 100%.
He was there.
He was watching just before it all went down.
LUCA: Well, he's wearing general's bars, but there's no name on his uniform.
Then let's figure out who the hell this guy is.
Dude, what's going on? It's not like you to be late, especially on an all-hands day.
I had to stop by the Professional Standards Bureau on the way in.
Wh-Why? What's going on? Last night, I accidentally ate some pot gummies.
Yeah, they were Bonnie's.
Actually, a friend of hers.
Didn't realize what it was until it was too late.
I'm not high or anything.
I slept 'em off.
You tell Hondo yet? Yeah, him and Hicks.
About as cool as they could be, I guess, given the circumstances.
What, so now you're under investigation? Yeah, I had to provide a urine sample, blood, all of it.
Now Standards Bureau's sending a rep.
I got to sit down for an interview.
Hey, you know what kind of questions they're gonna ask? What, 'cause I'm the guy that everyone assumes is always in front of the Standards Bureau? Just tell me what you know.
All right.
From what I've heard and this is pure gossip, mind you they get personal.
You should be fine as long as you don't take it that way.
(SIGHS) Right.
I don't know how to feel.
Thing is, I love Bonnie, but Part of you wonders about her thinking on this? Take it from someone whose judgment gets questioned occasionally.
Cut her some slack.
I don't know.
You know, I haven't introduced her to my mother, any of my family.
Maybe there's an unconscious reason for that.
(CHRIS ASKS QUESTION IN SPANISH) MAN: I'm sorry.
No.
MAN 2: Sorry.
Don't know anything.
Hey, can I talk to you a second? I already spoke to the police.
Yeah, but I'm sure the officer you talked to didn't ask about this guy.
He was there right before the shooting started.
- You know him, don't you? - Look, I really can't help you.
Hey, I don't want to play this card, but I kind of saved your life today.
Who is this guy? His name is Emiliano Murido.
He has you all importing his drugs with your flowers, doesn't he? We have no choice.
He can hurt our families back home in Colombia.
So the shooting today you think he ordered it? Yeah.
Nobody wants to be involved in Murido's drugs.
We just want to sell our flowers.
He must have found out some of us were talking about going to the police.
So this is Murido's way of keeping you all quiet? Kill some and scare the others? We just want to make an honest living.
That's why we came to America, not for this.
What else can you tell us about him? Got home from my shift around 0200.
The gummy worms in question were on the counter.
I ate four or five.
I went to sleep within the hour.
It wasn't till this morning, after I woke up, that I learned the gummy worms contained THC.
At that point, I headed directly to the Standards Bureau as dictated by protocol.
You said the gummies belonged to your girlfriend? - Uh, yeah.
- I need her name.
Uh Bonnie.
Bonnie Lonsdale.
Hey, it's not really her fault.
All right, she would've put them away, but she had a little too much wine last night.
It-it's not like she drinks a lot.
You know, she had a friend over, and they hadn't seen each other for a while.
How would you describe your relationship with Ms.
Lonsdale? Is it serious? Is that really relevant to the investigation? Part of being a cop, particularly a SWAT officer, is making the right choices, on and off the job.
We're gonna need your girlfriend to come down, give us a statement.
She might not be cool with that.
Is she cool with us concluding our investigation without us hearing her testimony? Uh This guy who was always trying to get in my pants in college is with the DEA now, and occasionally, I try to fish for a little info, and apparently, he still can't resist my charms.
Got us a lead on our guy.
General Emiliano Murido.
He's a FARC rebel leader until they signed a peace agreement with the Colombian government in 2016.
FARC was supposed to represent the people, but according to this, he's responsible for hundreds of extrajudicial killings.
Turns out he was a very bad boy, in charge of their extortion rings, kidnappings and bombings.
Not to mention the drug trafficking operation that funded all of it.
LYNCH: Looks like he went off the grid right after the peace treaty.
I'm cuddling up with RHD and Narcotics to find his network and see what his ground game here looks like.
BOLO out on Murido just got a bead on the Bentley he drives.
Just got spotted outside a café on Larchmont.
Pay this dirtbag a visit.
We know he's nasty.
Be safe.
Interesting lady.
Guess she likes to say what's on her mind.
She could spare me some of it.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER) Emiliano Murido.
LAPD SWAT.
We're gonna need you to come answer some questions about the Flower Outlet earlier today.
I'm very busy.
I saw you there before your shooters arrived.
Think you got a lot to answer for.
Perhaps you are making a mistake.
Somehow, I doubt that.
You're coming with us, one way or another.
If you wouldn't mind, call this number first.
Who's gonna pick up? Only one way to find out.
I got a better idea.
Why don't you make the call yourself from our place.
Get up.
(DISTANT SIREN WAILING) (DEACON SIGHS) Hondo, Deacon, this is Agent Devereaux, - CIA.
- Sergeants.
What's the CIA got to do with any of this? They need you to release General Murido.
- Come again, Lieutenant? - You heard me.
You don't have to like it, but you do have to cut him loose.
We have reason to believe, Murido runs - a cocaine operation in L.
A.
- And ordered the hit at the Flower Outlet today.
Four dead vendors, six more wounded.
And what proof do you have that Murido played a part in that? Well, I spoke to one of the vendors forced to import Murido's drugs.
He stated that Murido orchestrated the shooting as a warning not to go to police.
Well, that's conjecture at best.
- Anyone back that story up? - HONDO: He was there.
We caught him on camera before the shooting started.
So all you've really got is footage of Murido shopping for flowers.
HICKS: Come on.
You really think this is a coincidence? What's he giving you that's worth that kind of protection? That's privileged information.
Look, Murido is no angel.
We know that.
But because of his background, he's able to give us valuable intel along Colombia's border with Venezuela, a government hostile to our own.
LYNCH: You're saying Murido could help save lives in that part of the world.
And in exchange, we allow him a certain degree of immunity and provide medical treatment for a viral condition he has.
But there are limits, of course.
I will talk to him, make sure we have him under control.
So you're just gonna turn a blind eye to his drug operation? - And the shootout this morning? - I'd need more proof of his guilt before I just turn him over and abandon the greater good.
Greater good? You didn't see those people killed.
Your priorities are 4,000 miles away on some other continent.
We are worried about the people here in Los Angeles.
Murido's not to be touched, understood? Mess with him again, repercussions will fall on you, Lieutenant Lynch.
(LYNCH SIGHS) That wasn't a fight we were gonna win.
Yo, Hondo.
D.
Everything all right? - Yeah.
- Let's walk.
You know, your pops wanted me to give the car a spin, you know, test out the new carburetor.
So I thought I'd just drive by here since it's not that far.
Wait.
Hold up.
Hold up.
My pops is already letting you drive the six-four? I mean, damn, it took me years before he even let me wash that ride.
Yeah, I guess I just got it like that, yeah.
Hey.
What's really going on with you? (SIGHS) I-I was gonna tell you sooner, but your pops told me not to say anything.
But straight up, I feel like he's sick.
Like, real, real sick.
I've been seeing him coughing up blood lately.
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
What? I seen it happen twice now.
The first time it happened, he said it was "chest pepper," and I don't know what that means.
I guess it's old-school for heartburn or something.
But I know it's not that.
And the second time it happened, I offered to call 911, but he just said he'll deal with it.
All right, Darryl.
It's all right.
Thank you for telling me.
- I'll talk to him.
- All right.
BONNIE: Please don't be tough on Victor.
He didn't know.
This was all my fault.
I am so sorry.
So these pot gummies belonged to you? No.
My friend brought them over.
Please state your friend's name.
That's necessary? Do you know if she purchased the gummies legally? I think so.
Please tell me she's not going to get in trouble for this, too.
No.
I'm just trying to keep the facts straight.
How often do you consume edibles? Uh maybe once a week.
It was a terrible mistake.
I love Victor, and I don't want him getting into any trouble for something that I did.
I can understand that.
Is there anything else the Standards Bureau needs from us? Just patience as we deliberate.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER) I meant everything that I said in there.
I know how important SWAT is to you.
I should have explained all the rules to you before, emphasized what was important, stopped this from getting here.
Thanks, but that's you trying to take responsibility, make me feel better.
Look, I know how much this bothers you.
I just wish you showed better judgment.
Look, if we're gonna be together, what you do reflects on me, and vice-versa.
There are some things that I can't do with you 'cause of this job.
But I also know it's not fair to ask you to be somebody different than who you are, so I don't know.
You're scaring me right now.
Are you saying that you? I don't know what I'm saying.
I'll be right back.
I'm just gonna use the bathroom.
(SIGHS) Hondo, Deacon found an alias Murido used back in Colombia.
We cross-checked with the L.
A.
County Recorder's Office.
One of the names was used to get a business license here.
It's a flower storage warehouse in South Gate where Murido's vendors go to get their weekly flower supply.
Which means it's probably where he stores his drugs.
Okay, hold up.
You heard the CIA.
Murido's untouchable.
He might be.
But what I heard is they wouldn't do anything without more proof.
But as far as I'm concerned, his drug business is fair game.
And if he's swept up in it, so be it.
We gonna tell Lynch about this? No.
Roger that.
Let's roll.
Hondo, our undercover is in the warehouse.
(INDISTINCT, OVERLAPPING CHATTER) STREET: You got to feel for Tan, huh? You think relationships only get in the way of this job? Depends.
For me, job's only gotten in the way of my relationships.
(CROWD CHATTER) Okay, visual confirmation on the drugs.
I got six armed guards two each on the north and south.
The other two walking the center aisle.
(ANNOUNCER SPEAKING SPANISH ON TV) (SHOUTING IN SPANISH) HONDO: LAPD! - STREET: Drop your weapons! - STREET: On the ground! - LUCA: On the ground now! - HONDO: LAPD! - STREET: On the ground! Hands behind your back! LAPD.
Get down now.
LAPD! (OVERLAPPING SHOUTING) (SHOUTING IN SPANISH) (CHRIS SHOUTS IN SPANISH) Hands behind your back! CHRIS: Check this out.
- Anyone want to guess the street value? - DEACON: Call Narcotics.
Have them check every box, all the pallets.
Shut this place down.
Should I fake some niceties or just skip straight to being hopping mad? Why don't you give it to me straight? I just got off the phone with Agent Devereaux expressing the CIA's extreme displeasure.
It was all I could do to keep him from calling the mayor.
Crisis averted, then.
- You went behind my back.
- I'm sorry.
I'm not operating under the impression that I need to clear any of SWAT's actions with you.
Murido was explicitly off limits.
We didn't target Murido.
We did, however, disrupt a major cocaine smuggling operation, which I'm pretty sure is well within our purview.
That's very clever.
I'm sure you're quite smitten with what you've just managed to pull off here, but you are going out on a limb, Commander.
And I hope it works out, I really do, but if it doesn't, I won't have your back.
Didn't think you would.
Okay.
(DOOR CLOSES) You've been keeping your phone on you? I put it aside to work on my car.
I don't like distractions.
It's the kind of dedication my baby deserves.
(CHUCKLES) I called you from work today.
Everything okay? You tell me.
- Appears to be.
- Pop, I hear you've been coughing up blood.
You've been doing a good job of hiding that from me.
Never figured that boy to be a damn snitch.
Got to mind his own business.
This ain't about Darryl, Pop.
It's about your health, man.
I've seen your coughing fits, and they're getting worse.
Coughing fits ain't never killed no one.
- Pop? Pop? - What?! What if it's a symptom of something more dangerous? Don't you know about mind your own store? You're always trying to save everyone.
You're gonna run yourself in the ground sooner or later.
Try worrying about yourself, son.
Don't do that.
Don't you try and make this about me.
Look, I'm an old man.
And one day, you're gonna understand that the future ain't always bright.
Is that why you decided to come back home? Because you wanted to try and fix the past, make up for your mistakes while you still can? I've made my peace with all of that.
Well, some of us haven't.
You want to put your mind at ease? You've came to the wrong place.
(DOOR CLOSES) (TEAKETTLE WHISTLING) I hope the kids will be able to sleep tonight.
Oh, well, not that I have anything to compare it to but I think they're handling the situation pretty well, considering the circumstances.
Maybe helps that Daddy's a cop.
They saw him come to the rescue, get the bad guy.
They shouldn't have seen any of that.
You know, Samuel told his friend that he wasn't afraid, that he knew his dad would save the day.
What did you think? That you were gonna keep your promise to me.
LILA: Can I sleep with you guys? - Of course you can, sweetheart.
Come on.
- Yup.
Come on.
- Hey.
- Looks like it's you and me and Mommy.
And the Tickle Monster.
- (BOTH LAUGH) - Ah, got you.
(MUTTERS) (ENGINES REVVING) David? - (BEEPING) - (GUNFIRE CONTINUES) Stay low.
Listen to my voice.
(VICTORIA CRYING) Boys, stay down.
- (CRYING) - (GUNFIRE CONTINUES) - (ENGINES REVVING) - (VICTORIA CRYING) (TIRES SCREECHING, ENGINES REVVING) (PANTING) You draw this? (INDISTINCT CHATTER) Hey, kids, you get hungry, I got some shucos and tepache.
Man, this stuff is yum, yum, yum, yum.
You're gonna love it, man.
And I brought some sandwiches and snacks for you and the kids.
I really appreciate you guys coming in while off duty.
- I mean, you didn't have to do it.
- Are you kidding me, Deac? An attack on one of us is an attack on all of us.
Anything you need.
- It's just a family thing.
- Yeah, man.
Hey.
That is yums.
Whoa! (LAUGHING) Hey.
How you holding up? This time? Not fine.
Murido ordered this because of our bust.
- You know that.
- I do, and we're gonna go after him.
Not if Lynch gets in the way.
And what if the CIA keeps protecting him? You better choose your next words carefully, Devereaux.
Sergeant, I heard about what happened at your home.
I can't imagine what you must be going through.
Just relieved that you and your family were unharmed.
They were Murido's men.
They were targeting my wife and my children as payback.
I get that you're pissed.
I would be, too.
But if this is payback like you're saying, wasn't it set in motion by messing with their boss, who we told you was off-limits? Okay, that right there does not sound like an apology.
I don't know what I would be apologizing for.
We gave you an order, you ignored it, - there were consequences.
- Deac! - Get off! - Deacon! - Get off! - Deacon! Deac! Get him off! Deacon, that's enough.
That's enough, man.
Murido made a run at Deacon's family.
Now, you got to explain how you're gonna make it right.
And he will.
Agent Devereaux, why don't the three of us talk privately in my office? Where I come from, street cops don't touch agents.
Where I come from, people with badges don't protect killers.
(DOOR OPENS, CLOSES) So this comes down to Lynch and the CIA? That's just great.
My sergeant and his kids are spending the night here under our protection.
The line's been crossed.
We need to deal with the fact that your asset had a cop and his family attacked in their own home.
We don't have definitive proof of that.
And if you did, what would you do to Murido? Give him a good talking-to? I'm trying to balance two competing interests here.
How would you like a story in the L.
A.
Times about the CIA doing business with a South American drug lord? Wouldn't be the first time you fellas tried dirty tricks in this city.
Freeway Rick, Iran Contra.
You think a reporter might be interested in that story? You know I can't give you Murido.
Then give us something else.
(SIGHS) Brave kids.
You taught 'em well.
No, no.
Annie did that.
(VICTORIA COOS) I promised her I'd always keep our family safe.
What am I doing if I can't keep that promise? Well, it looks like you lived up to it to me.
(VICTORIA FUSSES) (SIGHS) Annie? Bonnie.
I heard what happened.
- Oh, I can't believe it.
- Mm.
I mean, how do you even deal with all of this? Oh, I'm just grateful everyone's okay.
I heard about why you're here.
Mm.
I really screwed up.
Hey, it's not easy.
I mean, I-I have to make sure that my kids' poppy seed bagels don't ever get anywhere near David's.
Can't test positive for opiates.
- Hmm.
- You know, being with a cop, especially a SWAT officer it's just different.
I envy what you and Deacon have.
ANNIE: Oh, you got to know what you're getting into.
But if you're with a man that you love, there is no bigger reward than a SWAT family.
Just had your house shot up.
Annie still seems unshakeable.
Guessing she was built to be a cop's wife.
No.
Not in the beginning.
No, took time and some convincing that I was someone worth betting on, that all the late nights and the worrying was gonna be worth it.
I just hope it still is for her.
I hadn't thought of it that way before.
We ask too much of them.
HONDO: Pop, I've been trying to reach you, man, but, listen, something's going on with Deacon and his family that I got to look into, but this is my third voice mail.
I know you're trying to duck me.
Now, stop it.
- Just call me back.
- Hondo.
Pop, we need to talk.
Tell us we got the green light to go after Murido.
Is the CIA handing him over? - Not exactly.
- This is so screwed up.
Commander, we can't keep carrying the Agency's water, not with Deacon's house getting shot up with his kids inside.
Hondo, dial it down for a second.
They won't give up Murido, because they can't.
But we got them to give us the final cog of his drug business.
Murido's got an inside guy at customs who lets his cocaine slip through.
We flip him, should allow us to bring the operation down for good.
First, we pick up our guy.
Name is Howard McReady.
Let's bring him in.
I don't want to go to prison.
Murido threatened to kill me and my family.
What choice did he give me? The easy choice was to take his payoffs.
That was a bad deal.
Should've come to us first.
We would've made you a better one.
You guys have guns and badges.
You can protect yourselves.
What can I do against a guy like that? Well, we can keep you safe from this point on, but you're gonna tell us about every shipment that you let come through customs for him.
What about the one coming in tonight? It's Murido's biggest delivery from Bogotá.
- What time is it getting in? - Next couple hours.
I heard the warehouse in South Gate got raided.
Can't take his supply there no more.
He's gonna need someplace new.
Any bright ideas where? I won't know until I see him at customs tonight, but if I'm not there, he's gonna know something's up, - get spooked.
- Okay.
We need to find him some clothes.
You're working tonight, for us.
Guess I see you back to them.
Pick you up something on the way? I'm not really hungry.
Look, if being with you means stopping the edibles, I am done with them.
You are more important to me than them or anything else.
I feel the same way.
It's also on me to make sure we're solid the way Deacon and Annie are.
I know we can be.
No.
We will be.
Caveat emptor, young lady.
Sorry, what? Buyer beware, especially when the goods are bad.
Screen came back on the pot gummies.
They're pretty lame.
- Barely any potency.
- Wait, that's good news.
Traces were negligible.
Also, the Standards Bureau found no intent or impropriety.
You did it by the book, and they took that into consideration, too.
They also appreciated you coming in today, advocating for Victor, so you've been officially exonerated.
Yes! Team's gearing up in the motor pool.
I'm back on active duty? If you hurry, catch your squad before they leave the building.
(CHUCKLES) - Go.
And be careful.
- You heard the young lady.
Beat it.
(SIGHS) (SIREN WAILING) LUCA: 22-David to Command, show 114 en route to location.
- Nice having you back with us, Tan.
- Thanks.
I was worried I might not see the front seat again.
Yeah, well, you can thank Street for keeping it warm for you.
STREET: Hey, you sure you want in on this mission? We're raiding a coke operation, not a grow farm.
TAN: Ha ha.
You know, Street, I thought I'd see what it was like for you getting kicked off SWAT, but I backed out last minute.
Ooh, ouch, I got to give that round to Tan, Street.
Coke shipment gets into LAX in ten minutes.
The contact's gonna let us know when the convoy's fully loaded - and about to leave.
- Then we grab the drugs at the customs depot before they hit the road.
We end Murido's operation for good.
And if the big guy happens to be there, all the better.
Thank you.
(SIREN WAILING) LAPD! Get on the ground! Do it now! (CHRIS SHOUTING IN SPANISH) STREET: Drop your weapons! On the ground! TAN: LAPD! (SHOUTING IN SPANISH) LAPD! Do it now! Hands behind your back! Come on! Murido.
LAPD! Get on your knees! Stay down.
Police.
Stop right there.
I don't have to obey you.
- I work for the CIA.
- Yeah, well, I got to call them to come down and get you.
So, until then, you stay.
(GROANING) Let me know if those are too tight for you.
Guess who we happened to find at the drug seizure.
(SIGHS) Tell your guys to uncuff him, please.
The cuffs stay on.
His two hit squad shooters talked.
They'll testify that Murido ordered the Flower Outlet shooting and the attack on Deacon's house.
That's multiple homicides.
I'm pretty sure that meets your threshold of proof, Agent Devereaux.
I gave you his entire operation.
We had a deal.
We still do, as long as you stick to the terms.
Murido gets official persona non grata designation from the State Department.
You take him back to Colombia.
He can give you all the valuable intel you need down there, but he never sets foot in the U.
S.
again.
And what about his medical treatments? That's not our problem.
But I have to figure flying the medication down to him has to be cheaper than flying him up every month.
(SIGHS) I guess I have no choice, do I? No, you don't.
Not unless you want to read about it in the papers tomorrow.
(SIGHS) We got what we wanted.
Murido's gone, and his coke's off our streets.
I'm glad it worked out.
Would've been awkward being on a panel having to choose your replacement.
You know, one of these days very soon, you're gonna have to make a decision.
What decision is that? Whether you're one of us or not.
You know, when I told you and your men that Murido was off limits, I knew you'd still go after him.
You got your man, and I preserved my and the city's relationship with the Feds.
We both won.
And the answer to your question, Commander, is: I'm one of you when I need to be and I'm not when I don't.
- How convenient.
- We'll figure it out as we go, on a case-by-case basis.
See you tomorrow.
Come here.
(CELL PHONE CHIMES) Oh, my sister says that we can stay at her place.
(SIGHS) Daddy, are you sure it's safe now? Yeah, honey, it's very safe.
You promise? Come here.
(GRUNTS) Lila, I promise.
You can always trust me.
- Let's go.
- Okay.
(CHUCKLES) (COUGHS) What's the deal, Pop? Talk to me.
It ain't cool you ignoring me like this.
I got your voice mails.
I knew you'd come home safe.
You always do.
How's Deacon? Deacon's gonna be all right.
His family, too.
Glad to hear that.
Another long day, huh? That ain't important right now, Pop.
Look, I need you to come with me.
I got to get you to the doctor.
- Don't want no damn doctor.
- Pop, you are sick.
- I know I'm sick! - (TOOLS CLATTER) Don't need no doctor telling me what I already know, okay? Are you for real right now? This could be serious.
Look, I don't know how much time I got left, okay? But I don't want it spent being poked and prodded and monitored, and having everybody feeling sorry for me.
Look, I wasn't there for you when you needed me, so you don't owe me nothing.
This ain't about owing you anything.
I'm your son, and if there's something wrong with you, I'm gonna help you get through it.
Who you kidding? I don't deserve your help.
You know what? Maybe you don't, but you damn sure gonna get it.
So, that's what's up? That's what's up.
Okay, then.
