I tried convincing you last week before you got here,
but you still thought
your guys were better than us,
so I had no choice but to show you that they weren't.
Plus, one of the guys on your team
just deposited $100,000 in a Swiss bank account,
which makes me wonder if someone's paying him
to turn on you.
I don't want your help.
We managed just fine in Rio and in Bruges.
You got lucky in Rio, and people still got hurt.
Whoever's coming after you doesn't give a damn
about collateral damage.
And since you're here in Los Angeles
for the next 37 hours,
the mayor's made it my job to keep you
and this city safe until then.
What exactly has the CIA told you?
They can't operate within U.S. borders, so they have
local police do the job.
- What do they say? - ‭I've been told
there could be an attempt on your life here in Los Angeles.
You know, maybe pissing off oligarchs, money launderers,
and drug kingpins by publishing

Maybe I enjoy getting under the skin of powerful men.
You know, I give you props for your bravery. I do.
But right now, you're my problem.
So why don't you just let us stash you at SWAT HQ

Hondo,
I got it under control.
Street, I got to say it. I think
her living with you is a bad idea.
What, 'cause you still think that she filed
that misconduct charge against you?
I explained that.
That was just some other woman in prison
trying to impress her. She had no idea.
So, look, either I help her out,

I just don't want this impacting you or SWAT.
It won't.
I got friends I can call.
We can pull some strings

This Russian cat we have in custody,
he's got no records, no history.
He's a ghost.

What is this story that you're working on?
I can't tell you.
I have to protect my source
- until I publish it. - Okay, fine.
Fine, then you're gonna sit right here.
Let me know if you need a book to read or something.
I've been working
for the last nine months on a story
about some very powerful people from Russia
who are trying to smuggle machine guns
and fully automatic rifles into the U.S.
Why?
Why? What's the endgame?
- Money? - ‭No.
They want to dump them here for free.
They want Americans killing each other
like people did in Ukraine, Georgia,
Syria.
They plan to start in Los Angeles,
then other big cities.
Over 50,000 assault weapons.
The first shipments
are already on their way.
Do you know how they're moving them here?
No. I need to get
to my source to get the information.
Look, the first meeting was to build trust.
If I don't meet with Shaolin today,
he'll get scared and go back into hiding.
And then we'll never find out
how these guns are being moved here.
I tried a little Russian in Google Translate,
but he still hasn't bitten.
He definitely understands English.
Every time I say the words, "You suck at your job..."
See? He twitches.
Engraving in Cyrillic on his ring
means "Pavel." I guess it's his name.
If you're a foreign spy
or wanted by Interpol,
you'll be looking at federal prison for life,
unless you start talking
and tell us who hired you.
Or we can hand you over
to the CIA.
Let them deal with you.
What isn't the CIA telling us, Agent Bishop?
We told you there might be a hit on your journalist here in L.A.
That's all we're at liberty to say.
For deniability, fine. But why isn't
Homeland Security or the FBI involved?
Because now I know this is bigger
than you led us to believe.
The same Russians who tried to kill Irina
in Rio and Bruges are coming after her here.
A lot of chatter
is telling us the Russians
are pulling out all the stops this time.
Maybe that has something to do with whatever story
she's working on.
Do you know anything about guns
- being smuggled into the country? - No.
We think our suspect in custody
is a professional Russian mercenary.
No files on him anywhere, but we think his name is Pavel.
What makes you say that?
The engraving on his ring.
- Does he wear it on his right thumb? - ‭Yeah.
- Does that mean something? - Means Pavel's
the name of his handler.
That ring is a membership band
for a bathhouse in Mid-City.
But he's not Russian intelligence,
or you could have picked him up.
All right, now that we're out in the open about this,
you should know.
There's a nest here
in L.A. of ex-KGB agents
who have strong connections
with Russian oligarchs and weapons dealers.
That bathhouse is probably
a place where the guy you got in custody
and others like him meet with their handler.
Now, we've been casing them
for years but never gotten enough evidence
to make any arrests.
Now, with his mercs going after Irina,
maybe you can help us out in that department.
Because SWAT going after him makes it appear
like a local crime, giving the CIA cover.
Listen, fact is, you getting evidence on their handler
gives you the Russians trying to kill Irina.
Hey.
You know why, uh, Cortez
ordered us into civvies?
Not yet.
I, um...
I heard you kicked Luca out of your place.
I know your mom's

There's got to be a lot weighing on you, Street.
- It's nothing I can't handle. - Right.
'Cause you remember when we both got reprimanded
when you went off-case
and you beat up that dude for her? 'Cause I do.
Look, someone getting out of jail seems straightforward,
but it changes your life, too.
I can keep trouble away from my mom.
I got you, but will she keep trouble away from you?
Hey, guys. Short notice, I know, but uh,
I need a place to stay.
Street kicked me out. Any takers?
Well, you know I got three kids, but uh, yeah.
If you want to share a bedroom
with a colicky baby, be my guest.
I'm open to it.
I'll have to ask Annie.
What about you?
Uh, no. Bonnie would hate me.
Who's Bonnie?
The girl I've been dating. I've mentioned her.
She kind of stays at my place now.
Sort of getting serious. Sorry, man.
All right, I'll figure something else out, thanks.
If we don't find that guy a place to live,
he's gonna home-invade one of us.
Tell me about it.
According to the CIA,
our shooter's handler is Pavel Nobokov,
AKA "Melvin Norwood""
The data files in his air-gapped laptop
should hopefully get us to the other shooters
going after Irina, and the money men
trying to smuggle guns into L.A.
Now, sealed warrant depends on us downloading his hard drive
and getting out clean... no margin for error.
So if we get caught, it's an international incident, I'm guessing.
Pissed off congressmen, a lot of people screaming?
I'd really hate to disappoint a politician,
but our main concern is ex-KGB agents,
who are going to be on site.
And these guys are pros,
so we need to go in stealth.
- Hence the civvies. - ‭Yeah.

Of course I do, Ma.
- What'd we find? - ‭Melvin sent encrypted text messages
to these four numbers
within minutes of the attack on Irina.
One of the burner phones belongs to the guy
you currently have in custody.
Let me guess: The other one belongs
- to the shooter who escaped. - ‭Yep.
And the other two burners probably belong
to a pair of backup shooters.
Now, I've triangulated the last known cell phone pings
to see if we can get a location.
So there's three men trying to kill me?
Looks like I'm barking up the right tree.
Don't worry, they can't get to you as long you're here.
The problem is, Irina has a speaking engagement tonight
and she can't miss it. After the speech, her source
is gonna hand out the final pieces of information
- about the guns headed to L.A. - No.
Too risky. Irina is a walking target.
As long as those three shooters are out there,
everyone around her is in danger.
Your source can give you
that information when you're out of L.A.
Captain, if Irina's right
about the assault weapons coming in,
we don't have that kind of time.
These guns weren't on the State Department radar until now.
The intel looks like it checks out so far.
Intercepting these weapons would be huge.
By the time I leave town, it'll be too late.

What's the deal? It's got everything he wants.
Luca's a guy who's got
long-term monogamous relationships that end.
But then he's eventually bunking with one of us
until he meets a new girl.
And then we're always telling him
he's moving in too early, right?
Well, this is a guy who knows
no place is ever gonna be good enough,

Doesn't want to live alone. Sounds right.

No, my father was on track to kill both of us.
Eventually.
But my mom
just...
she just stopped him from getting there.
- 12 jurors saw it differently. - Yeah, but that's
because she had me lure him into my bedroom
to set him up, and then she shot him,
and she told me to tell the cops...
that he just came after me.
- But you couldn't lie for her. - No, because in my mind...
what she did wasn't wrong.
She was protecting us.
She was protecting me.
And I just trusted one cop...
enough to tell the truth.
Buck.
And I don't know why...
for some reason...
it was important to me that he knew what really happened.
My mom,
she saved my life, Chris.
I don't care what anyone says... she saved me.
But the D.A. wanted to improve his conviction rate,
so...
I'm the reason my mom spent 18 years in prison.
- No. - ‭Yeah.

I betrayed her.
I'm sorry, this is...
unprofessional.

which is somebody I would trust my life with.
(SIGHS): And... look...
cards up, I, uh,
I went and I read the court transcripts
of your mom's case.
And maybe... what she did was the right thing to do.
But making you a part of it wasn't.
Meet you outside.
Thanks. I'll be right there.
Irina?
All right, listen.
Chris, Street and I are gonna be just offstage,
literally waiting in the wings.
(SIGHS) ‭You nervous?
About someone trying to kill me?
You're not going to let that happen. ‭Hmm.
Now, giving a speech in front of hundreds of people, it's...
Trust me. Public speaking is not my thing, either.
That's what you're scared of? You risk your life every day
for people you don't even know.
How can you do that and not be afraid?
I just know it needs to be done. We need to protect those
who can't protect themselves, make sure they have a voice.
I think you and I both know what it's like not to have one.
(SIREN WAILING, ENGINE REVVING)
(GROANING)
- Give me two! - ‭Two!
Closet only!
The rich and the powerful count on us being cowards,
being afraid.
But the more we stand up, the more they have to listen.
And the more power we take from them.
- Closet only. - Two, two.
Bathroom only.
It's not too late to fight back.
We all have an obligation to do our part.
Thank you.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
Subject's moving off stage right.
20-David, you have eyes.
(APPLAUSE CONTINUES)
- It was a brave speech. - Just doing my part.
My source texted that he'd find me
before I get to the green room.
WOMAN: We love you!
That means he could be anyone in here. Hey.
Take it easy. Take it easy.
Irina, please sign my book?
Irina, this has to be quick.
It's okay.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
30-David. Suspect's apartment's clear.
No sign of our guy.
But he did leave some goodies behind.
One at a time. One at a time. Take it easy now.
Guys, step back.
Ma'am, excuse me. Step back, please.
HONDO: One at a time. Easy.
Hey, bud, you got to wait back in the press section.
Oh, I'm sorry. Just want to get a question in really quick.
Now is not a good time.
MAN: Would you sign my book, please?
Looks like our guy's a cooker.
HONDO: One at a time. One at a time. Take it easy now.
- One at a time! - ‭Guys, step back here!
- No pushing. No pushing. - Step back, guys.
HONDO: One at a time.
Easy.
(INDISTINCT, OVERLAPPING CHATTER)
25-David, I got press
going behind stage left. Let's check 'em out.
51-David, get the two side. I'll take the four.
STREET: Step back, please.
MAN: Could you sign this, Irina?
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
The suspect left acetaminophen, caffeine pills,
aspirin and a prosumer
- chem lab behind. - Back up. Back up.
Luca also found QL and sulfur in the fridge.
He's making VX poison gas.
D-Team, be advised...
possible biological agents in close vicinity.
I'll notify Central Division. We need to lock this place down.
Irina, that's enough. That's enough. Change of plans.
We have to get you to the green room right now. Street?
- Move 'em back! Move! - All right, folks, make a hole.
- Back up. Make some space! - Let's go. Back up, people!
We haven't found an activator, but clearly...
- He's weaponizing it. - The only way they could have gotten it
through security was if it could pass through a metal detector.
I'm pretty sure pens could do that.
Irina, your autograph, please. Proceeds go
to Operation Underground.
One last thing, Hondo. This is important.
Please back off, okay? Back off. Make some room.
LUCA: Hondo, we think they're using pens to hide the VX.
Irina, don't touch that pen!
(GASPING AND GROANING)
(CHRIS GASPS, COUGHS, PEOPLE SCREAM AND SHOUT)
Street, Street, get the runner! Street, the runner!
- (COUGHING) - Chris? Chris?
(COUGHING) I got you, Chris. Chris?
Chris? This is 20-David to Command. Officer down.
Exposure to biological agent VX.
Be advised. Code 3.
- I repeat, officer down. - (GASPS, COUGHS)
Deac? Deac, Chris got hit with the VX. I need the atropine
in the med cache out of Black Betty now.
All units be advised, I need all intersections cleared
from Huntington Park to downtown,
starting on Western to Exposition.
Code 3, I need an R/A at location.
- We'll be there in ten, Hondo. - HONDO: Make it eight,
- or she's gone, man. - JESSICA: Tan and Rocker, status.
We found our two backup shooters. Kitchen has direct
- access to the green room. - (YELLING)
(GRUNTING)
(MAN YELLING)
(YELLING CONTINUES)
- (GROANING) - ‭(GROANS)
(CHOKING, GROANING)
(TAN GROANS LOUDLY)
Give me your hands!
(GRUNTING)
(YELLING)
Right side clear.
Let side clear, Hondo.
Got your guy from the food court, Hondo.
(THUDDING)
(LOUD YELLING)
(GRUNTING)
I got the guy who dosed Chris. Tan, take him
before I lose it on him.
25-David, all three shooters are accounted for.
Go. I got this.
- (COUGHING) - Stay in there, Chris. Chris?
You grab my hand, and you squeeze.
- Let's go. - ‭HONDO: And just keep squeezing.
Do not stop. Do not let go.
HONDO (OVER COMMS): Deacon, where are you?
We're two minutes out, Hondo.
- Here we go. - (SIREN WAILING)
Hold on, Chris. You hear me? You hold on.
(GRUNTS)
Stay with me, Chris. I got you. I got you.
I'm right out front. I got her ready.
All right. The shot's prepped, Hondo.
Squeeze my hand. Stay with me.
How long has it been? Seven minutes and counting.
Chris, hey. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
- Keep fighting. Come on, keep fighting. - Come on now, Chris.
- Come on. Squeeze, Chris. - Chris! Hey! Chris!
Hey, stay with me. You're good.
- You're good. - (SIREN WAILING)
- Let's go! Let's go! - STREET: Come on. Come on.
HONDO: Stay with us, Chris. Come on now. Let's go! Move!
- Give me room! Give me room! - Get out of the way! Get out of the way!
You got one shot at the heart, Deac. Come on.
- Come on, Chris. Come on. - Come on, Chris.
(GASPS)
- LUCA: Come on, Chris. - (LABORED BREATHING)
- Come on, Chris. Breathe. Hey. - (COUGHING)
- There she is. - ‭LUCA: Oh... Hey.
STREET: You scared us.
HONDO: Don't do that again, please.
You good?
Stupid question, I guess.
- Oh, my God. - ‭Hey, man...
And you thought what I did was brave.
Hmm. You know, sometimes I do get scared, Irina.
Seeing Chris like that was one of them.
Hmm. They're lucky to have you as their leader.
No. No. I'm lucky to have them.
You really think your source is gonna show up?
I told him I trust you, and so should him.
I appreciate you coming around.
I'm sorry for the trouble I caused you, Hondo.
Let's just hope it was worth it.
(DOOR OPENS)
I'm Shaolin...
your source.
Nice to finally meet you, Irina.
NEWS BROADCASTER: Federal authorities today seized
an estimated 50,000 guns
originating in Russia.
They were being smuggled into the country
through an elaborate tunnel network from Mexico
through the southern border of California.
Intelligence officials...
So glad the CIA is getting credit
for such a righteous bust.
Four Russians in custody, a list of ex-KGB agents
snooping around in L.A...
The CIA wants me to tell you, unofficially,
we've made them very happy.
So, I heard Chris got out of the hospital already?
Yeah, she did. And she's good.
(CHUCKLES) Actually,
she's back to her old ways.
Look, Luca, you got to sleep somewhere tonight,
and if you say no to this place, you'd be breaking a law.
To prevent that, we put down the first month's deposit.
You what? Guys, I...
We know you don't like living alone, Luca,
- so we fixed it. - ‭CHRIS: Luca!
Meet your new roommate.
Say what?
- Whose dog is this? - Yours.
(CHUCKLING): Hey...
Meet Duke. Recently retired from duty.
My friend Joe, with Riverside PD, offered him up.
- He's gonna need a new home, too. - Seriously, guys?
DEACON: Yep. And, your
- new place takes pets. ‭ - Hey.
You shouldn't have.
Aw.
(CHRIS CHUCKLES)
Hey, uh, Hondo.
What's up, kid?
I, uh... I just wanted to say thank you
for offering to pull some strings for my mom.
Of course. I'm happy to do it.
But, uh, she's gonna stay with me.
So... it's all good.
All right.
- Yeah. Thanks, man. - ‭Yeah.
Irina.
So, I hear your guards have
a good advance plan for Manila.
That's more like it.
They know they've got a tough act to follow here.
Too bad you're not coming with me.
No. That sounds tempting, but duty calls...
Wow. Uh... (CHUCKLES)
What was that for?
I've learned that life is too short
not to do the things you want.
Maybe I'll be back in Los Angeles one day.
Until then, you stay safe.
Bye.
