00:01Previously on SWAT.
00:02I need to choose someone to take over SWAT Academy for me.
00:05I'm honored. It means a lot, Deke.
00:07You're gonna do an amazing job, Victor.
00:08I get hiding what your dad did. That wasn't your fault.
00:10But if you're still associating with criminals...
00:12They're still my family, Tan.
00:14I wasn't ready to tell the team.
00:16But after seeing you side with some guy you just met over me,
00:19maybe I was right to wait.
00:21Is that my car?
00:22Wait, what?
00:23Did your dad kill a cop?
00:25Now that it's out, this kind of stuff's not gonna stop.
00:27Whoever put these out, you got one warning.
00:29You mess with Gamble, you mess with 20 Squad.
00:31That means you mess with me.
00:32I just, I want you to know I can handle the judgment that's coming my way.
00:36It won't stop me from doing my job.
00:44One thing I miss about Oakland, summer ended when summer was over.
00:48Thanks for coming in early.
00:50It is 100 degrees outside and the AC broke in my apartment.
00:53HQ feels heavenly in comparison.
00:55Well, don't get too comfy.
00:56Hicks needs us first. Special protection detail.
00:58Rest the 20 Squad en route?
01:00No, they're all on standby today.
01:02With any luck, the heat's gonna keep folks inside
01:04prevent anything too crazy from bobbing off.
01:06But this detail's a good chance for you and me to catch up.
01:13Commander?
01:14Picked your teammate, I see.
01:16Who's the principal on the protection job?
01:19Everybody's favorite mayor.
01:21Mayor Castro?
01:23Doesn't he have his own security team?
01:24We're bolstering it.
01:25The brass believes there's an imminent threat against Mayor Castro's life.
01:29You got any idea who's behind it?
01:30Yeah.
01:31Suspect is Paul Kang.
01:32He's a resident of K-Town.
01:34He took a few pot shots at the mayor's car two days ago and then slipped patrol.
01:38They haven't been able to locate him since.
01:39What's his beef with Castro?
01:40Kang's wife, Jessie, was stabbed to death by a transient in Venice a few months back.
01:45Random attack.
01:46Kang blames the mayor's soft stance on crime for what happened now.
01:50The guy's a bit of a whack job, but he's not entirely wrong.
01:54All right.
01:55We better get moving.
01:57A Honda award.
02:00In private.
02:07Gamble, really.
02:09I mean, this isn't exactly low-profile covering the mayor.
02:13Are you sure she's right for this?
02:15I'm sure.
02:34Fire four mags.
02:35Two for shooting hand at 10-20 and 30-yard intervals.
02:37Then we'll move on to HK's.
02:39I'll be evaluating you on accuracy and speed, but it's not a race.
02:42Remember our golden rule?
02:43Slope is smooth.
02:44Smooth is fast.
02:45Good.
02:46First four, step up to the shooting bay.
02:47Start on the beep.
03:03Sloppy groupings, Ruiz.
03:05They're coming on my day off to watch you whip.
03:07It's more like it.
03:10Hold your positions.
03:13Power outage.
03:14Generators should kick in.
03:16I'm ready.
03:23Hey.
03:24You won't always be shooting bad guys in broad daylight.
03:26Treat this as low visibility training.
03:29Shooters ready.
03:33Hold your fire.
03:38Make your weapons safe.
03:39We'll finish this exercise later.
03:41All available officers at a report to the Eagle's Nest ASAP.
03:44I was having coffee nearby when I got the alert.
03:49Seems like most of the neighborhood lost power.
03:51Power's odd all over.
03:52My family group chat's blowing up about it.
03:57Hi.
03:58What the hell are you doing?
04:07Uh, standing here.
04:10Stevens and I have a game going.
04:12Oh, this piece was already off the board.
04:14Your game is fine.
04:15It's not about the game, Powell.
04:17It's about SWAT superstition.
04:19Never mess with a chess head during an active game.
04:21Bad things happen when you do.
04:23Did I summon the chess boogey man?
04:26Good luck today, Powell.
04:29You're gonna need it.
04:30Listen up!
04:31It's a massive power outage affecting the entire San Fernando Valley.
04:35Now, given that it's roughly 500 degrees outside,
04:38the rest of the grid is buckling under the strain.
04:41The whole city could lose power today.
04:43Sir, how long until the power company is able to fix the issues?
04:46Well, they're assessing the root cause.
04:48Early indications show a cascading grid failure.
04:50Best case scenario, it'll take hours.
04:53I got here as soon as I could. It's a mess out there.
04:55I'm executing the Sepulveda protocol effective immediately.
04:59All available SWAT will be deployed on the streets to patrol,
05:02along with every available officer from Metro.
05:05Now, power outages like this bring spikes in robbery, vandalism, arson.
05:10People will be overheated, angry, and desperate.
05:14So be ready for anything out there.
05:16Sergeant K will assign patrol pairings and coverage areas.
05:19All right, pal, you're with me. Espinosa and Thompson, you'll take Chatsworth.
05:24Ruiz, you and Lambert, you've got Silver Lake.
05:27Oh, it's nasty out here.
05:29Even warmer in Noho where Stevens and I are heading.
05:32Hope that Los Profetas don't get trigger-happy in this heat.
05:35Where'd you two get assigned?
05:36Studio City.
05:37Jackpot, baby.
05:38Should be a pretty easy patrol.
05:40You wouldn't count on it, Miko.
05:41No, it'll be rough out there all over.
05:43Not just crime.
05:44People are gonna need our help.
05:46So keep your windows down, heads on a swivel.
05:49Let's roll.
05:50Hey, we can still blast the AC, right?
05:52As high as it'll go.
05:53Multiple heat-related 507s report in Mbappoa Park near the playground and at Victoria and Colfax.
06:04Nearest available units respond code 2.
06:06People are already getting riled up.
06:08Maybe we'll get lucky and Hollywood will stay quiet.
06:10Not likely.
06:11I heard you touched the chess set this morning during an active game.
06:14But what is with this damn chess set?
06:17Edwards from 50 Squad put away the chess pieces one night, not realizing there was a game going on.
06:22He got shot in the leg the next morning.
06:25That's when the superstition began.
06:26Whatever.
06:27I'm happy to take on this so-called curse for the day.
06:30You didn't just bring it on yourself.
06:32You put that curse on everybody.
06:34You're gonna get blamed for anything that goes wrong today.
06:37Probably shouldn't have swiped this then.
06:40Powell, what are you doing?
06:41There's a reason that superstition exists.
06:43You don't poke the bear.
06:45I grew up with Filipino titas who were convinced that any bad thing that happened was the result of our ancestors cursing us from the grave,
06:51know what I learned?
06:52What's that?
06:53That bad luck and superstitions are all in your head.
06:5815 Atom requesting additional units of traffic control.
07:0324 David to dispatch.
07:07We've got a 211 in Van Nuys, Calvert and Loma.
07:1024 David.
07:1124 David.
07:12We deal with that.
07:15You deal with that, I'll deal with that.
07:1824, David, to dispatch.
07:20Have a TC on main and oak.
07:2224, David, please repeat.
07:24Pablo 415 in Los Angeles near the Greek area.
07:26Gonna be a long day.
07:45Yes, sir, copy that loud and clear.
08:15Commander Hicks just instituted Sepulveda protocol.
08:18All available SWAT officers are out on patrol.
08:20He thinks it'll get that bad?
08:22Last time it happened, there were riots in Midtown, Boyle Heights.
08:25City Hall's got backup generators to keep the lights and AC running,
08:29but there's a lot of folks out there that ain't gonna have that same luxury today.
08:35Hicks wanted you to pick someone else for the assignment, didn't he?
08:39I know the look when I see it. It's been pretty much nonstop since I got here.
08:43Hicks is fine. Don't worry about it.
08:48USGS confirmed there were no earthquakes in the area.
08:51Then find out what knocked the grid offline.
08:53I want updates every 20 minutes. People's lives depend on it, Nick.
08:56Ah, my SWAT babysitters.
08:59Sergeant Harrelson, I've seen you on the news a few times.
09:01Just doing my job, sir. This is Officer Devin Gamble.
09:04Now you, I don't know. Been with LAPD long?
09:07I started my career here, then did a 10-year stint up in Oakland.
09:10Bet you glad you're back.
09:12Now that you two are here, we can get to work.
09:14I've told EMD I want to hand out water and emergency supplies in the areas affected by the power outage.
09:19Sir, there's an active threat on your life. I think it's better you stay here in City Hall where we know it's secure.
09:23Angelinos need help today.
09:25They also need their mayor alive.
09:27I'll let you in on a dirty little political secret.
09:31If someone isn't trying to hurt me, I'm not doing my job properly.
09:35Besides, I've got SWAT at my side. Can't get much safer than that.
09:41Excuse me.
09:44Real glad to be back.
09:51Reports of traffic collusion in Tarzana at Ventura and Donna.
09:54Tampa and Wells in Victory at Wilbur.
09:56Vandalized fire hydrant at Hillside and Manor.
09:58We didn't get hit by that beamer, so I'd argue that it was good luck.
10:02Maybe it was a higher power that was looking out for us.
10:05Or the lucky jade crystal I keep in my pocket at all times.
10:08That's ridiculous. Crystals are nonsense.
10:11You draw the line of crystals, but buy into chess pieces?
10:15Explain your belief system right now, please.
10:17Right now, I believe that I'm driving for the rest of the day.
10:20For safety.
10:22Can't move three blocks without responding to a radio call anyway.
10:25All units armed robbery reported in the 1,000 block of Lebray Avenue.
10:28Suspects are two Hispanic males, five feet, eight inches tall,
10:31and 10 baseball bats.
10:32One suspect wearing lime green Jordan sneakers.
10:34Lime green Jordans?
10:35Subtlety's a lost art.
10:37Alright, we'll head back towards Lebray, roll the side streets.
10:40Maybe we'll get lucky.
10:50God bless whoever invented the bikini top.
10:56Hey, watch out! Watch out!
10:59You can't just run in front of the car like that!
11:01Look, man, my baby's missing.
11:03Alright, I can't find Jimmy John.
11:05Can you describe the child?
11:10Wait, Jimmy John's a snake?
11:12Yeah, he's a snake.
11:13Been together for 10 years.
11:14Sir, you need to call Animal Control, not LAPD.
11:17Why can't y'all help?
11:18One, it's not her department.
11:20Two, I don't like snakes.
11:22Especially big ones.
11:23That's racist, man.
11:24Man, how can you be racist against a reptile?
11:26That's racist!
11:30You weren't lying.
11:31Studio City is weird.
11:33But when people don't get their kombucha and wheatgrass shots,
11:35all bets are off.
11:36Excuse me.
11:37Officers, I think you need to do a wellness check on my neighbor Travis.
11:40His car hasn't moved in a few days and he's not answering his door.
11:43Are you sure he's not traveling or maybe at a friend's place?
11:45No, he's got a young son who stays with him.
11:47I'm worried about them both, especially in this heat.
11:50All right, we'll take a look.
11:51Which one's your building?
11:52Right there.
11:58Travis Brown, this is the LAPD!
12:00Your neighbors are worried about you.
12:01If you're in there, open up!
12:02Hey, you smell that?
12:04Yeah, meth.
12:10Travis!
12:11Hey, Travis!
12:12Hey!
12:13Hey, can you hear me?
12:14Got a real faint pulse.
12:16Hey, looks like he was doing goofballs.
12:1925 David are requesting emergency transport for an adult male at 1500 Moorpark,
12:24a parent drug overdose.
12:25Gonna hit him with Narcan.
12:28Hey, lady said he had a kid, right?
12:30Yeah.
12:34Police, is anybody in there?
12:39No.
12:42No, no, no, no, no.
12:4325 David, I need an additional RA to the same address for a young child, approximately four years old.
12:48Very faint pulse.
12:49I need it ASAP!
12:50Hey!
12:51Wake up, buddy!
12:52Hey!
12:53Hey, don't quit on me.
12:55Hey, wake up.
12:56Hey!
12:57Come on, look at me.
12:58Hey!
13:02Hey!
13:03All right, I'm with the police.
13:04We're gonna get you some help.
13:05All right?
13:06Everything's gonna be fine.
13:07I need you to sit down, all right?
13:08Nah, I'm good.
13:09I'm good.
13:10Pinky promise.
13:13Hey!
13:14I'll follow him!
13:15He's just a kid!
13:16Son of a bitch!
13:17I'll follow him, man!
13:18Hey!
13:19Get off him, man!
13:20Hey!
13:21What the hell?!
13:22Stay with the kid!
13:23Get off of me!
13:24Get off!
13:32The city's working diligently to restore power to citizens.
13:35Meanwhile, I feel a personal responsibility to help Angelenos during this crisis.
13:40I'm a native son.
13:41I grew up here.
13:42I thought you liked the idea of this type's like Castro.
13:44You were one yourself.
13:45Was.
13:47A lot can change in ten years.
13:50Are you good?
13:51Actually, no, I'm not.
13:55What the hell am I gonna have to do to prove myself on SWAT?
14:00Gamble, when I asked you to come back, you said you could deal with it.
14:02I thought I could.
14:03But the hazing, the endless comments, the side-eyeing...
14:10I'm not sure it's worth it.
14:15Wait, hold up.
14:16That silver pickup truck on the corner, does that look familiar to you?
14:19I thought I saw a drop by a while back.
14:23I couldn't see the plates.
14:26You think it's Kang?
14:27I'm not sure.
14:29But we should get Castro back to City Hall to be safe.
14:34Thank you so much.
14:36Sir, we need to think about getting you back inside.
14:38There's still two pallets of supplies to distribute.
14:40Protecting you out here in public is making our job a lot harder, sir.
14:44Whoa, whoa, whoa!
14:45Hazy!
14:46Hey!
14:47I got you.
14:50He's got a rapid pulse.
14:51Skin's burning up.
14:52It's probably heat stroke.
14:53Let's get him in the shade.
14:54We gotta cool him down.
14:55Call it in.
14:5626 David got an adult male with signs of heat stroke near 3400 void, requesting an RA.
15:01Excuse me.
15:02Excuse me.
15:03Mayor, Mayor, Gamble, go with him, go.
15:04Everybody back up, please.
15:05Watch out.
15:06Back up.
15:07Everybody back up, please.
15:08Here you go.
15:09Back up, please.
15:10Back up.
15:11This man needs space and privacy.
15:12Please back up.
15:13This man needs space and privacy, please.
15:14This man needs space and privacy, please.
15:16I'm walking to Susan.
15:17He's gonna be without power, sir.
15:18Is he gonna be okay?
15:19Yeah, I think so.
15:20EMTs are on the way.
15:22EMTs are on the way.
15:23EMTs got the kids stabilized.
15:36They'll be okay.
15:37You wanna tell me what the hell you were thinking in there?
15:41I wasn't.
15:42I guess I just snapped.
15:44Well, that'll sound great in the incident report.
15:47Whoa, whoa, whoa.
15:48Hold up.
15:49Before I joined Long Beach SWAT, I worked at Juvenile Investigation Division.
15:52Okay?
15:53I worked with a lot of kids who had deadbeat parents like Travis.
15:56Most of those kids ended up in the streets, in prison, or dead.
16:00When I saw that kid caged up like a damn zoo animal, I just lost it.
16:05The kid's dad deserved worse than he'd gotten.
16:08But we can't be the ones that do it.
16:10I gotta include it all in the report.
16:12Oh, come on, man.
16:13Cut me some slack.
16:14That kid's barely alive.
16:19Oh, this is BS.
16:22I swear to God.
16:29How does anyone have the energy to go on a robbery spree in this heat?
16:32I get it if they stole ice cream, but sneakers and Dodgers ads?
16:36I don't know.
16:37Some people are just compelled to take things they shouldn't.
16:40Is that a dig?
16:41Depends.
16:42You gonna hit me with one of your crystals?
16:44If I can find one big enough.
16:46Hey.
16:47Check it out.
16:50Lime green Jordans.
16:51See armed robbery suspects.
16:53Almost too easy.
16:5424 David to dispatch.
16:55Visual on our 411 suspects.
16:571600 block of Gower.
16:59LAPD.
17:00Stay where you are.
17:03I got Jordans.
17:05End of the line.
17:2430 David, one suspect in custody.
17:34Second suspect in custody.
17:5524 David.
17:56Second suspect in custody.
17:58Send transport to the coroner of Selman Cadden.
18:00I got it.
18:07Nice grab.
18:08Yeah.
18:09Hey Powell, is this gate open?
18:10These substations are usually very secure.
18:12Wide open.
18:13Didn't see any workers.
18:14Smells like an electrical fire.
18:20That's dead cord.
18:21It's used to trigger high explosives.
18:23Who's playing with high explosives around electrical transformers?
18:34Clear.
18:40The control box has been sabotaged.
18:42SoCal Water and Power never reported this.
18:45Think it might be an inside job?
18:46Maybe.
18:47One thing's for sure.
18:48These power outages?
18:49They're no accident.
18:50Crippling the power grid on the hottest day of the year means someone's out to cause chaos.
18:53They didn't attack the power grid on a whim.
18:55Chaos might be a prelude to something even worse.
18:57Let's move.
19:06Just got off with RHD.
19:07At least three power substations were sabotaged.
19:10And who's ever behind it shot and killed a supervisor in the Encino substation.
19:14Explains why the damage went unreported.
19:16The cascading grid failure that followed must have made it impossible for the SCWP to pinpoint the root cause of the damage until now.
19:23The suspects used strategically placed C4 charges at all three substations.
19:26Powerful enough to blow the control boxes but small enough to go unnoticed by neighbors.
19:30They got access to C4.
19:31We're hell bent on bringing down the power grid.
19:33We need to know why.
19:34The power outage has most security systems offline.
19:37Could be a robbery crew going after a big score.
19:39If that's true, there's no shortage of vulnerable targets.
19:41Banks, jewelry stores, federal buildings.
19:43There's no way of knowing for sure until we ID the suspects.
19:45Power substations usually have security cameras.
19:48Maybe one of them got a look at the suspects before the power went out?
19:50Run it down and let me know what you find.
19:52I'll update Hondo and Gamble the situation.
19:54You, Deacon and Powell, start notifying high-value targets that we may have a heist crew on the loose.
19:59On him.
20:00Understood, Commander.
20:02The blackout wasn't an accident.
20:04Hicks says the grid's under attack.
20:06You think it has anything to do with the attacks on Castro?
20:08I'm not sure.
20:09It might be something else, but the mayor's definitely not safe here.
20:13Sir?
20:15Any update on the man we helped?
20:17He's recovering at Pleasant Green Hospital.
20:18He'll be fine.
20:19But mayor, please, we really need to get you back inside.
20:22We know you want to help people.
20:23Been watching you do it all day.
20:24But you being out here actually puts these people in more danger.
20:28If you really want to help them, let us take you back to City Hall.
20:32You know, if all officers were more like you two, I'd have a lot less headaches.
20:40Make your deal.
20:41Give me five minutes to make sure these folks are okay, then we go.
20:47Make it three minutes.
20:48Three minutes.
20:49Hey.
20:50How about earlier?
20:51You're still catching heat from other SWAT officers?
20:52Hey, Campbell.
20:53Tell me who it is and I'll talk to them.
20:54I'll put it to bed.
20:55You don't deserve to take blame for what your father did.
20:56Pick up truck's back.
20:57You stay close to Castro.
20:58This is the L.A.P.D.
20:59I need you to turn off that engine and put your hands out the window now.

21:47I know!
21:48Jamble.
21:49Kang's not in the truck.
21:50Fire!
21:51Fire!
21:52Fire!
21:53Fire!
21:54Stay down!
22:06Give me your hands!
22:11Gamble, you good?
22:12I'm good.
22:13Sir, are you okay?
22:14Yeah, I think so.
22:1520 David, we have Kang and a second assailant in custody.
22:18Mayor, we are taking you back to City Hall right now until we can verify there are no further threats to your safety.
22:27Let's go.
22:34Hey, I heard you're up here trying to deal the suspects behind the blackout.
22:38You need help?
22:39You can start going through the Encino substation footage.
22:47I was wrong, you know.
22:48For what I did earlier, how heated I got.
22:53Got a chance to cool off?
22:55Mostly.
22:57I still can't stop imagining kicking the crap out of that guy for what he did, though.
23:02A while back, we had a barricaded suspect at a trailer park.
23:06Guy was a PCP and heroin addict, totally off his rocker.
23:09When we breached, I found his wife and one-year-old in a closet.
23:14They'd been locked in there five days before.
23:16I wanted to bash that guy's skull in.
23:19But deep down, I knew it wouldn't make the anger go away.
23:24Sometimes you have to put in extra work to keep yourself balanced.
23:28Yeah.
23:28Usually I work through that stuff in the gym, but wind sprints and pull-ups just aren't cutting it lately.
23:35I had to change my coping strategy a couple times.
23:37I started by meditating, moved on to weight training.
23:40Now I play basketball until I can't feel my arms and legs.
23:43Point is, you gotta find an outlet that works, otherwise the stress of this job will consume you.
23:52I think I got something.
23:54This van, parked at the substation, can't see the suspects, but got a clear shot of the plate.
24:01The plate traced back to a Bob Hayes from Bishop, California.
24:05Now that's up north in the Owens Valley.
24:07Bob Hayes reported his plate stolen two weeks ago.
24:11Five other Bishop residents reported their plate stolen in the same time frame.
24:14Could be the work of our suspects.
24:16Let's get a bolo out on the van and all six stolen plates.
24:18I'll tell Commander Hicks.
24:22Hey, what you got?
24:23If this blackout's about pulling off a heist, these are the most valuable or at-risk targets.
24:29Whittled it down to about a hundred or so.
24:31A few dozen cash storage facilities, high-end art galleries, museums.
24:34Plus all of Rodale Drive and some churches that store priceless religious relics.
24:39Reminds me.
24:41So it's true.
24:44This thing?
24:45Yeah, the old timers.
24:47Keep giving me a hard time about it, so I'm putting the damn thing back.
24:50Look, there.
24:52No harm, no foul.
24:54That's not what I hear.
24:55Oh, not you, too.
24:56Steven said the bad juju continues until the game is finished by the original players.
25:00Oh, come on.
25:01I don't want that mala legend.
25:03Sorry.
25:04This is ridiculous.
25:05To you, maybe.
25:07I'm not taking any chances.
25:10Steacon, we're rolling out.
25:12It's truly ridiculous.
25:16Bolo hit on our bombing suspect.
25:18Red light cameras spotted the suspect's van in Toluca Lake.
25:21Any high-value targets in that area?
25:22No, they're heading into a residential neighborhood.
25:24So they attacked a power grid just to rob the house?
25:27Nah, I'm not buying that.
25:28The thing they might be after a person.
25:30One of SCWP's lead engineers lives two blocks away from the Bolo hit, Alice Burks.
25:34She's been an SCWP employee for over 20 years.
25:37Now, I called her office.
25:38Her assistant says she left work to deal with an emergency at home.
25:41Could be a target or an inside man, but either way, that's where our suspects are headed.
25:44Deacon and Powell rolled a few minutes ago.
25:46They're in the area, but they're going to need backup, so go.
25:48Go.
25:58Powell.
26:0030 David to command.
26:02Signs of 4th century.
26:03Moving inside.
26:03Calls of only.
26:15Please, don't hurt me.
26:17I'll do anything you want.
26:19Cops!
26:21LAPD, drop your weapon!
26:24Get her out to the van!
26:2624 David!
26:31Shots fired!
26:32Cover now!
26:35Powell!
26:39Hey.
26:41Powell, you good?
26:42Talk to me.
26:43I'm good.
26:44Hit me in the vest.
26:46Go.
26:46I've got him.
26:47I've got him.
26:4830 David to command.
27:03Three armed suspects in our bolo van with one female hostage fleeing north on Foreman.
27:09Okay.
27:10Now I believe in the curse.
27:12Gamble's staying with the mayor.
27:20Until we get an all clear from the brass.
27:22These are suspects who attack the power substations?
27:24And shot Powell while abducting an SCWP engineer.
27:28Now all four are from the Owens Valley.
27:29And plaintiffs in a very prolonged lawsuit against SoCal Water and Power over water rights.
27:34Now they've been battling the utility in court for almost a decade, alleging extensive corruption, theft, malfeasance by the SCWP employees against the Owens Valley and its residents.
27:44Well, SCWP's got a pretty dicey history with that, Harry.
27:46Battle of water and L.A.'s right to claim it goes back 100 years.
27:49I think we could be looking at another chapter of that storied history.
27:52I mean, these guys clearly got a vendetta.
27:54The question is, what's their endgame?
27:56Well, they took down the power grid and kidnapped an engineer.
27:58That tells me they need access to a secure location.
28:01I'll get on the phone with the head of the utility and see what their most vulnerable sites are.
28:04In the meantime, let's hope Deacon and Powell can get Ricky Lawson to cough up something about their plans before this gets even worse.
28:14Los Angeles has stolen our land and water for decades.
28:17It's not stolen.
28:18The city has compensation agreements in place with the Owens Valley.
28:21Agreements that destroy people's lives.
28:23My father built and ran a hardware store in my hometown.
28:27He had to lease the land from your utility company, despite L.A. being 250 miles away.
28:33A couple years ago, when he wanted to retire, SCWP said he wasn't allowed to sell or transfer the property lease.
28:40Can you believe that?
28:41His own business.
28:43What did he do?
28:44Well, he had two choices.
28:45Stop paying and risk eviction.
28:47Or return the land to its original state.
28:49He demolished everything he'd built over 30 years.
28:55Raised his own legacy to the ground and died of a broken heart.
28:59We're sorry that happened to your father, but you can't take your anger out on innocent people.
29:03Entitled Angelenos who steal and hoard our water are not innocent.
29:07And now they'll pay.
29:09Some of the water gets misused.
29:10I'll give you that.
29:11But a vast majority of it is an essential service for survival.
29:15Yeah, well, they should have found a different way to get L.A. its water, because now you're all going to drown in your own greed.
29:24We're running out of time and resources.
29:26Tell me you made some headway.
29:28Ricky Lawson seems obsessed with water, so I think the remaining three suspects are looking to sabotage a major L.A. water source.
29:33So they knocked out the power, leaving the water systems vulnerable.
29:36Exactly.
29:37SoCal Water and Power reassigned their personnel to fix the grid.
29:40By doing that, they left key water systems operating with skeleton crews.
29:43Okay, but there's dozens of filtration plants, pumping stations, reservoirs throughout the city, not to mention the L.A. aqueduct.
29:50So what part of the water system are they going after?
29:52If they wanted to blow the aqueduct, they could have done that anywhere between Santa Clarita and the Owens Valley.
29:57They want to do something here in L.A. to make a statement.
30:00Well, Hank Fonda owns a demolition company.
30:01He'd have access to high explosives.
30:04And any statement they make could result in a catastrophic loss of life.
30:07Just did a deep dive on Alice Burks, the engineer they abducted.
30:10She was recently promoted to lead the Hollywood Reservoir Restoration Project.
30:14Hollywood Dam?
30:15That holds two billion gallons of water.
30:17And its security systems could have been compromised by the blackout.
30:20If they blow that dam, all of Hollywood washes away.
30:22People, buildings, historic landmarks.
30:24Thousands of lives lost and billions of dollars in damage.
30:27It's the perfect target for these suspects.
30:28Go!
30:28I'll have patrols start evacuating the area below the dam.
30:4160 seconds out!
30:43All right, the Hollywood Dam is massive.
30:45It's a quarter mile wide, runs five levels deep underground.
30:48Looks like a maze of tunnels in there.
30:49It is.
30:50We'll go top to bottom, close the net.
30:52Think they'll try to blow holes through the dead center of the dam?
30:54A few strategically placed charges is more likely.
30:56And that kidnapped engineer will know exactly where to place them.
30:59Let's just hope the suspects haven't had time to set the charges.
31:01Otherwise, anything downhill in the dam gets washed away, including us.
31:05All right, here we go!
31:05We got one security guard down at the entrance of the dam.
31:27D-Katan, go right.
31:32Miko, check her out.
31:33Help's on this way.
31:35What happened?
31:36They wanted me to shut down the dam's safety system.
31:39They shot me when I said no.
31:4120 David requesting emergency transport for one female victim.
31:45GSW to the abdomen.
31:46Which way did the men go, ma'am?
31:48Sorry, she's out.
31:49Oh, no!
31:50Miko, get her to safety.
31:51Pal, let's go.
31:57What do you got, D?
31:59The whole dam could blow any second.
32:03Can you disarm it?
32:04It'll take time.
32:05We don't have.
32:05They're using a blasting box.
32:07It also switches and triggers the C4 remotely.
32:09It's usually a small, brightly colored construction case.
32:12We got to find it ASAP.
32:14D-Katan, clear level three.
32:16Pal, you're with me on the lower levels.
32:17Let's move.
32:18Let's move.
32:18Let's move.
32:18Let's move.
32:18Let's move.
32:18Let's move.
32:20Let's move.
32:20Let's move.
32:22Let's move.
32:22Let's move.
32:24Let's move.
32:26Let's move.
32:27Let's move.
32:28David, shots fired.
32:38Third level, east side.
32:40Visual on all three suspects.
32:45Keep them busy.
32:47I'll go set the final charges.
32:51Damn, I'm banging it.
32:52Oh, come on.
32:54Right now.
32:58Cut the weapons.
33:01Two suspects down.
33:0630, David.
33:07Last suspect is headed to lower levels.
33:09Let's move.
33:14Pal, we got to split up to cover more ground.
33:15Go left.
33:16Watch your six.
33:16Roger.
33:2624, David.
33:27Suspect is on the bottom level, easternmost corner.
33:29He has the blast box.
33:34Hondo, I have no clear line of sight on this level.
33:36I can't get a shot.
33:48I can't get a shot.
33:56Dammit, it's no good.
33:59He's gonna blow the dam.
34:0020, David.
34:13Last suspect down.
34:24We're cold for.
34:25You okay?
34:35Dinged my elbow pretty good down in the dam.
34:37Covered in six different layers of sweat.
34:39And I've got this vengeful chest curse hanging over my head.
34:42So yeah, I'd say peachy.
34:44Maybe you should buy more crystals.
34:45I will hit you.
34:46Okay.
34:47Fair enough.
34:48Listen, um, curse or not, when you got shot, I, my heart just dropped down in my shoes.
35:00I was supposed to have your six.
35:01Deacon, don't do that.
35:03Neither of us saw the shooter.
35:05You couldn't have done anything differently.
35:07Doesn't change how it feels, though.
35:10That bullet had been one inch higher.
35:14Just glad you're okay.
35:16Me too.
35:18I'm gonna shower now.
35:21Rid myself of this curse once and for all.
35:27You good?
35:28Yeah.
35:29Alphard just called from the hospital.
35:31Alice Burks lost a lot of blood, but a bullet missed her vital organs, so she's gonna pull through.
35:36Oh, good, good.
35:37And, uh, bomb squad, they cleared the rest of the C4 charges at the dam.
35:40There was enough explosive material there to blow that thing twice over.
35:44Close call.
35:45Yeah, a little too close.
35:46On the upside, we won't need a canoe to get home tonight.
35:50Annie and the kids okay with the blackout?
35:51In the valley.
35:52In this heat, with no AC?
35:54No, Annie did offer them a payoff, though.
35:56If they're good and they limit their complaining, they get to polish off the half-melted ice cream in the freezer.
36:02Nice.
36:04Shift change should be happening soon, so we'll get you home for some rocky road.
36:08Hondo and Gamble are wrapping up at City Hall as we speak.
36:11The mayor's in the clear now.
36:17Patrol ID'd the truck drivers, Jeff Wright, Paul Kang's brother-in-law.
36:22Brass said they acted alone and there's no other active threats to Mayor Castro.
36:25You did really good work today, Dev.
36:28Why me?
36:34What do you mean?
36:35You had carte blanche to fill the open roster spot on 20 Squad.
36:38You could have picked anyone and you chose me.
36:41I need to know why.
36:42Do you remember that shootout down on Hoover about 12 years back?
36:47A bunch of one-niners tried to blast their way out of a barricade.
36:50There was an elderly woman, a few doors down.
36:54A couple of niner bullets went through her window and scared the hell out of her.
36:56Mrs. Blake, one of the bullets shattered an urn with her husband's ashes in it.
37:00And you went and got that urn replaced for her on your own dime?
37:04It just seemed like the right thing to do.
37:06That's why I picked you.
37:08Because I bought an urn?
37:11Come on.
37:12Give it to me straight, Hondo.
37:13Gamble, I picked you because you care.
37:16The deck's been stacked against you forever.
37:18You are a black female officer.
37:20That already ain't easy.
37:21You come from a family of crooks and shady characters.
37:24Your father killed the cop.
37:26But you don't let any of that affect your work.
37:30Despite the pressure of the scrutiny.
37:33You walk a just path.
37:34You keep your head down so you can help people who need and deserve it.
37:39It's rare to be a badass with empathy.
37:41I'm not really sure what to say.
37:48You don't have to say anything.
37:51Just stay.
37:53And keep doing your thing.
37:54Any day now, guys.
38:17I would love to put this whole curse thing to bed.
38:19Shh.
38:21You can't rush brilliance.
38:29Screw it.
38:31What did I say about talking?
38:35Checkmate.
38:36Hallelujah.
38:37Game over.
38:38Bad juju gone.
38:39I'm never going near this stupid chess set again.
38:41Here we go.
38:48Dan.
38:53Hold up.
38:55I read your incident log.
38:57You didn't report me.
38:58Why?
38:59Because some days on this job just flat out suck.
39:02And I wouldn't want my worst days to define me.
39:04I'm giving you a second chance.
39:06Just don't blow it.
39:08I appreciate it.
39:09Really.
39:10Checked in with social services.
39:13Kid's aunt's going to take him in.
39:14Make sure he recovers.
39:18How you doing?
39:19Still pretty pissed off, but working through it.
39:22Figured I'd get a beer at Jimmy's.
39:25Pin this jerk's face up and throw darts at it until I can't feel my arms.
39:28Any interest?
39:29You got an extra copy for me?
39:30You know it.
39:31Hey, did you say you're going to Jimmy's?
39:32I'd kill for a cold beer and a corn dog right now.
39:35Oh, come on.
39:35More the merrier.
39:36Are we sure the bar's open?
39:38Jimmy's never closes, but if they are closed, we're blaming you.
39:42Fart.
39:42We'll see you next time.
39:44needs a twenty five-year-old.
40:00I'm sorry, you need to have a second chance.
40:01We'll see you next time.
40:01I'll see you next time.
40:02We'll see you next time.
40:02Bye-bye.
40:03Bye-bye.
40:03Bye-bye.
40:04Bye-bye.
40:04See you next time.
40:05Bye.
40:06Bye-bye.
40:07Bye-bye.
40:08Bye-bye.
40:09Bye-bye.
