Previously on SWAT...
I want to have Previousla family with you.
[gasps]We're-we're... we're having a girl.
Mmm. Mmm.
Powell, with me!
I got a shortcut.Powell!
Suspect's down.
You just take off like that.
Relax. We got the guy, didn't we?
You get Powell squared away. She's your responsibility now.
Hank St. John. I go by Saint.
Daniel Jr. They call me...I know who you are, Hondo.
You may have them fooled, but not me.
It's only gonna take one mistake for the LAPD
to come knocking on your door.
I'll have to be very careful then.
This is Detective Rios with Gangs and Narcotics.
If you're right about this Saint guy being behind all this...
I am....we haven't found any evidence
to confirm it.
I just wanted to ask you
about your new business venture with Hank St. John.
Starting my first business.
I'm calling it Freshness on Wheels.
Consider it a fair warning.
Clean up your act, or you're gonna see me
in ways that you don't want to.
[door opens, closes]Oh, Hondo, look how cute.
HONDO:Oh, no.
Get out of town. Our baby girl ain't even born yet,
and she's already swagging it out.
[laughs]This stuff looks practically new.
Has it ever even been worn?Uh, most of it, probably not.
Yeah, Annie went a little overboard dressing the girls.
How could she not? It's all so precious.
Yeah. I'm actually surprised she let this go.
But when she heard
that the two of you were having a baby, and a girl,
here it is.
Well, Deacon, thank you. It means a lot.
Now you tell Annie that we promise
to give everything here a good home.
You're doing usa favor.
Victoria's almost four.
You know, it's about time we move on to the next phase.
What do you mean?Well, we have this joke
that we have lived through
different phases over the years.
First, it was the "Just the two of us" phase.
Then it was, "We've got one kid.
I think that's all we can handle" phase.
Our "Just the two of us" phase was pretty great.
You ready to shake that up?
I am more than ready.
Oh, you better be, because pretty soon,
it turns into the "Now, we have four kids
"and we couldn't believe that we thought
one was too much to handle" phase.Yeah.
Hmm.You know what? I think we'll leave that phase
to you and Annie 'cause I really don't see
four little rug rats running around here.Uh-uh.
[both laughing]
Victoria used to love stuffies,
but by the time this one came home, she was onto dolls.
Next, it'll be boys.
Ooh.Which phase is that?
That is the "Lord, help me" phase.
[phone buzzing][laughing]
Oh, sorry, guys. Excuse me for a second.
Yo, Rios. What's up?
Yo, Hondo.
Yeah, I couldn't help it. Had to call right away.
I think we got him. We may have found
what we need to put Saint away for good.
What? You serious? What'd you find?
Picked up a laptop on a raid of one of Saint's pill mills
last night. Guys at Cyber Division
say it's encrypted like nothing they've ever seen.
And if that thing has that much security...
Got to be a gold mine, yeah. Problem is,
we're locked out of it until this raid.
You found the key?Don't get your hopes up.
Still got to see what's on the laptop first,
but my gut is telling me it's what we've been searching for.
I'll keep you posted.
Hey, Rios, thanks, man.
You stepped up and walked this path because I asked you to.
I owe you.Yeah, let's save the mushy stuff
for when we have Saint in cuffs, okay?
I'm so looking forward to that.
Thanks, brother.
All right, peace.
Good news?
Rios just hit up another one of Saint's stash houses, and
he thinks that he finally has enough evidence to put him away.
Well, that's huge.We're not there yet.
We got to confirm it, but, yeah, this feels really good.
Well, we should go.
Then I'll save my congratulations for later.
Can't wait. Mmm. See you tonight.
Okay.Bye.
Deacon, please thank Annie for all this.
I will.
Bye.
[indistinct chattering][helicopter blades whirring]
Hey.
Here you go.
Thank you.No problem.

Charlie, what the hell is this?
Celery, kale, spinach and apple.

You know, I spent a lot of time in this room

It's almost a rite of passage.
Is that why you suggested to Hondo I get armory duty?
Nostalgia?
You got armory duty 'cause you were reckless in the field.
Now, I know you trust your gut,
but you can't keep going off on your own.
There's a reason we move in twos.
Your partner's not just watching your back.
You're watching theirs.
I get it. You could've just said that.

This is Detective Alex Rios.
I'm at the corner of West 60th and South Hoover.
Code 30. Officer in need of assistance!
[door opens]
Hey, you notice anything funny about the commander today?
Funny? Hicks is a lot of things, I don't know about funny.
No, I mean, like, weird.
He was on the bike in the gym this morning.
And? Hicks hates the stationary bike.
He says it's the perfect metaphor
for going nowhere in life.
I'm telling you, man, something's off.
Hey. Morning, Commander.
Tan. Luca.
Hey, sir.
At ease, boys.
Was that a kombucha?I told you. Weird.
TAN: Kale salad?
I don't think I've ever seen Hicks eat a vegetable.
Not unless it was surrounded
by meat and smashed on a hoagie roll.
Maybe he's on some sort of health kick.
That's a good thing, right?I don't know.
My dad went on a health kick when he was Hicks's age
on the doctor's orders after he had a mild heart attack.
STREET: Hey.
Hondo called. Detective Rios radioed a Code 30.
He was attacked in his car. Now he's gone.
Hondo and Deacon are on their way there.
Said we should do what we can from here.
Okay, let's get some leads for them for when they get back.
[helicopter blades whirring]
All right. Thank you.
Detectives canvassed the block.
These guys weren't discrete.
Witnesses saw two masked men armed with assault rifles
yank Rios from his car, threw him in the back of a Jeep.
He was blindsided. Rios didn't stand a chance.
He was targeted.Yeah, looks like it.
I sent him down this road, Deacon.
Hey, Hondo, this isn't on you.
I talked Rios into going after Saint.
It's no coincidence that Rios was real close
to putting Saint away.
Now he gets ambushed?All right, let's...
let's not jump to conclusions.
There's only one possible conclusion.
Saint kidnapped Rios.
And you best believe I'm gonna get him back.
♪
This mean I'm out of the doghouse?
For now. This is an all-hands situation.
One of our own is abducted in broad daylight.
Somebody must have seen something.
Well, the traffic cam gave us plates from the Jeep
that sideswiped Rios, but it was a dead end.
It was reported stolen from a parking lot this morning.
No cameras at the lots, so no help there.
Any progress on our perps? No, sir.
They were masked and moved too fast to get a good description.
Average height, average build, nothing concrete.
Why take Rios now?
Well, Rios has been hitting Saint's pill mills
and stash houses pretty hard recently.
One last night and one this morning.
Unlikely it's just revenge, or we would have found a body
instead of just a banged-up car.
Well, the big get from last night's raid was a laptop.
Rios seems to think that this is the holy grail,
some kind of digital locker
where Saint keeps all his dirty laundry.
I tracked the laptop to Cyber Division.
Anything in it we can use?
Cyber's been trying to crack it all night.
It's highly encrypted.
Sounds like maybe Rios is right about what's on it.
All right, both of you head down to Cyber
and see what you can glean from the techs.
Hey, Commander, the R-100 detail is bringing
Rios' wife, Maria, into HQ for protection.
Their son, Charlie, is on patrol.
We radioed him and he should be back soon.[phone buzzing]
My God, the wife must be a wreck.
Yeah.Oh, I-I got to take this.
Hey, Doc.
Yeah?
Oh, wow. I didn't expect it
to get scheduled that soon.
All right, I guess it gives me less time to get nervous.
Okay. Well, all right.
Thank you. You hear that?
Hicks has something scheduled with a doctor.
Should we say something to him, let him know we're here for him?
I don't know. Hicks is a pretty private guy.
If he wanted us to know, he would have told us.
Yeah, but whatever it is, there's no reason
for him to be going through it alone
when so many people care.
If the commander needs us, he'll let us know.
I say we give him his space for now.
I hope you're right.
SAINT: You see, Ellis,
the middle game You seelike a magician,
You think very highly of yourself, don't you, Hank?an,
But I...
Mate.
Sergeant Harrelson. Here for a game?
You know exactly why I'm here.
That's probably why you stepped up your security.
This is my executive assistant,
Lucius.
I'm surprised you two haven't met yet.
A police officer was abducted this morning.
I'm truly sorry to hear that.
What can I do to help?
If you give me a name, I...You know his name,
and that he was real close to shutting down your operation.
My operation? I run a successful business
that gives back
to the community at every turn.
Who would want to shut that down?That's just a cover.
Rios found proof, so you kidnapped him.
Now, where is he?!
I've been here
with Councilman Wright playing chess all morning.
I appreciate that you have a job to do,
but you're barking up the wrong tree.
Cut the act, Saint!
Where is Detective Rios?
[overlapping crowd chatter]
Hondo, let's go.
Come on. This isn't accomplishing anything.
Anything useful? Maybe.
I've been going through the evidence logs from last night
and this morning's raids, and I just found this.
This thumb drive was photographed
and logged in at the stash house this morning,
but it never made it to the evidence locker.
Okay, Forensics didn't find it in the debris at the crash site
or in Rios' car.
I don't know how it fits,
but it could be another piece of the puzzle.
All right, I'll send a team to double check the car.
Street and Powell are headed over to Cyber now.
Give them the heads up to ask about this drive.
Yes, sir. Uh, Commander, wait.
If there's ever anything that you need to talk about,
I just want you to know I'm here.
All right, well, that's good to know, Luca.
I'll-I'll keep that in mind.I mean it, sir.
Anything.All right.
I-I'm sorry, Luca. Excuse me.
Hey, Hondo, hold up.
I just got a call from the deputy mayor's office.
Did you threaten Hank St. John in the park?
No, sir. I was chasing a lead.
Well, it didn't look that way to City Councilman Ellis Wright,
and he's got strong ties both
with the deputy mayor and the I.G.
Sir, you're gonna slap my wrist?
Now? With Rios out there?
I'm on your side here. We all want Rios
to be brought home safely, all right?
I'm just reminding you to be smart about this.
You keep going after Saint without any proof, then...
Then what? He'll kill Rios?
Sir, he's gonna do that anyway
as soon as he gets what he wants.Uh...
Mrs. Rios.
What?
I'm Commander Hicks.
I'm so sorry.
If you come with me, I'll...
I'll explain to you what's going on.
Okay? Come on. Come with me.

[door opens]
We called earlier. GND brought in a laptop last night.
It was seized in a drug raid. Yeah.
You must be from 20-Squad.
I was the one who processed it when it came in.
Pretty heavy security mods.
Air-gapped.
No wireless connection.
Could only see metadata, but it's huge.
14 terabytes, all highly encrypted.
You still haven't been able to figure out what's on it?
If coffee and will power were enough,
I would have cracked it hours ago.
But we could throw every
decryption algorithm the LAPD has at it,
and still probably not get in.
It requires a specific key.
Probably stored on a flash drive.
Something... like this?
Exactly. Wish I'd known you had it.
Might've actually gotten some sleep last night.
Must be what Rios called Hondo about this morning.
Wait. Detective Rios?
He called a couple hours ago,
said he was on his way over. Never showed.
STREET: Rios must have been bringing
the flash drive here himself,
only he got ambushed on the way.
Oh, my God.
That flash drive is only half the equation.
The laptop is here.
We need to move the laptop to SWAT HQ for safekeeping now.
As long as you sign it out to maintain chain of custody.
Just let me...
Wait. This can't be right.
It was checked out a minute ago.
Which way?
Evidence room is down there.
Hey, someone just checked out a laptop?
Uh, yeah.
He's right there.Hey!
Stop right there!
Do not move!
Hands where we can see 'em!Hands up!
You don't understand.Right now!I'll cover.
I got to get this laptop out of here.
Hands behind your back. Up against the vehicle.
Now!They're gonna kill him.
There's no time. They're going to kill my dad
if you don't let me go!
Charlie Rios?
What the hell's going on?
MAN: Your pig father took a computer
that doesn't belong to him.
You're going to get it back.
Your daddy's life depends on it.
[groaning]
POWELL: We found this on Charlie's phone.
They sent that to Rios' son, Charlie?
Poor kid was just trying to save his dad.
A laptop for his father's life.
Charlie could barely hold it together. I feel for him.
Oh, geez.
Tell me we got something to go on.
We tried to track the phone used to contact Charlie Rios,
but it's a burner. Signal's gone dead.
Charlie had no idea where the flash drive might be.
Last time he saw it was at the raid this morning.
So we're back to square one?Maybe not.
Play it again just from the end.
Freeze. Zoom in on that box.
Now sharpen it.
So what am I looking at?
I know that logo.
That's Raymont Harris' company.
Does this mean I'm officially
out of the armory now?
Sorry. You got to do the full assignment.Come on.
Rios and the laptop would be long gone if not for me.
You want a pat on the back? Fine. Nice work.
You're still on armory duty.
What's in this for you?
What do you mean?
All the check-ins, the hovering,
the getting me armory duty. Why are you doing this?
Because I almost blew my shot with SWAT once, and I would like
to see you stick around.
You're a good cop. Exactly.
I am a good cop, which is why
I don't need a mentor.
I don't need you to hold my hand.
I can make it on my own.
Yeah, but that's the point, Powell.
You don't have to do this on your own.
I appreciate the sentiment,
but you got to give me space.
Please.
[car door opens, closes]HONDO: Raymont?
Why aren't you picking up your phone?
My bad. Been running around.
Company's growing.
Check out the new van.
We need to talk.
Why? What's going on?It's about Saint.
We've been through this, Hondo.
Everything he's done
for Freshness on Wheels has been above board.
Everything you know of, Raymont.
I believe he's using one of your warehouses
to hide a detective that he kidnapped.[scoffs]
Saint? Kidnap a cop?
HONDO: Look, I know how that sounds to you.
His investment got my business off the ground. Now I'm soaring.
So, yeah, it sounds crazy to me.
My girl Nichelle helped you incorporate
that symbol into your branding, right?
The Sankofa. It represents the idea
that no one is left behind.
Okay, look at that.
This is from a ransom video.
That's your symbol right there.
And that? That's Detective Rios right now.
This is real, kid. He's been helping me
take down Saint's criminal empire.
Rios is a good cop, and if I'm right,
he doesn't have a lot of time left.
We just bought a new warehouse.
It's being renovated, but
this morning, Saint's guy called and gave the crew the day off.
I need you to give me that location.
[siren blaring, engine revving]
Luca, Tan, you're with me on the one side.
Street and Powell, you take the three.
DEACON: Hondo says this is the warehouse from the video.
Be on the lookout for two gunmen, maybe more.
Tan give me eyes inside.
Be on the lookout for Rios.
Don't want him getting caught in the crossfire.
I'm not getting any heat signatures.
This place stores food, right?
Industrial AC might be throwing off the thermal imaging.
30-David. Nothing on the thermal image.
We're gonna breach the one side, go shallow to deep.
Roger, 30-David.
We'll watch the three side for rabbits.
Reinforced steal door. Heavy duty.
Breach in three, two, one.
LAPD SWAT!
Hallway clear.
DEACON: I got middle.
Tan go left, Luca take right.
Head on a swivel.
LUCA: Warehouse is empty.
DEACON: Street, Powell,
anything?
Nothing back here, either. Making entry.
This doesn't make any sense.
There's nobody here.
25-David. I got something over here.
This is where Rios was hanging in the video.
LUCA: Fresh blood.
Still hasn't dried.
Looks like he was waterboarded.
Still wet. Couldn't have been sitting here long.
We must've just missed them.
Saint knew we were coming.LUCA: No way.
POWELL: How could he have known?
Someone tipped him off.
You're not doing yourself any favors by not talking to me.
You're the only one who could've warned Saint.
If we don't find Detective Rios in time to save him,
you can be charged as an accessory.
RAYMONT: I know what you think of cops,
but Hondo's a good one. Saved my life.
You can trust him.
Phoebe, tell me what you know.
Please.
My brother Marcus is Saint's driver.
When I heard you talking about raiding the warehouse,
I got scared that he might get hurt.
So you called Marcus and warned him that we were coming?
Is he involved with Saint's criminal activity?
No.
All he does is take him to meetings and wait in the car.
Your brother might be in real danger, Phoebe.
We both want the same thing-- to get our people home safely.
Help me.
Hey, Deac, can I talk to you a minute?
Yeah. I'm just running some gear out to Betty. What's up?
Hondo put me in charge of getting Powell in line.
How's that going?
[sighs] Not great.
I'm just having trouble getting through to her.
Well, what have you tried?
Encouragement, self-deprecation, tough love.
Everything you and Hondo used on me in the beginning.
Well, that's your problem right there. She's not you.
What do you mean? I was just like her when I got here.Look,
I've got four kids. Each one of them has a different father.
Okay. You lost me.
Wh-What I mean is, each one of my kids is an individual.
They respond to parenting differently,
so I-I have to take a different approach with each one of 'em.
The tough love that I use on Matthew
would never work on Lila.
Hmm.She's too smart for that.
How did you figure out what works best for each kid?
Simple. I-I just listened, I got to know 'em.
How much do you actually know about Powell?
Not a ton. I mean, she plays it pretty close,
but she did tell me the reason
that-that she doesn't trust protocol is
'cause it got an old partner hurt.
Okay, well, that's a start.
How much does she know about you?
Not much, I guess.Okay.
You want Powell to open up, let her guard down,
you got to let yours down first.
Make sense?Yeah. Yeah, it does.
Thanks.
SAINT: Yes.
I'm here.
Where are you?
Mm-hmm.
Thanks, Marcus.
Wait in the car.
[door closes]
[phone buzzing]
Hello?
Marcus, you okay?
Yeah, what's up?
Where are you?
I'm at the soup kitchen.
Why?
Marcus, this is Sergeant Harrelson, LAPD SWAT.
Phoebe is safe, but you might be in danger.
Are you with Saint right now?
I mean, yeah, he's in a meeting. He told me
to wait in the car. What-What's going on?
Does anything look out of the ordinary from where you are?
Marcus?
Phoebe, come on. You know the cops
are always messing with Saint. I mean, think about
what he does for the community. He gave me a job to help pay
for Pop's medical bills.
No, they're not messing with him this time.
Saint kidnapped a cop.
No, you're wrong. He wouldn't do that.
Now, I'll prove it.
No. Marcus, Marcus,
do not get out of that car!
Marcus!
It didn't have to come to this, Detective,
but you've squeezed my storage houses,
chipped away at my packaging facilities,
so now we find ourselves here.
I need my flash drive back.
Where is it?
Do you really have it in you to kill a cop, Saint?
Because you're gonna have to.
I'll never tell you where that drive is.
SAINT: You will.
After all, your family can only hide
from me for so long.You leave my family alone!
You understand me?
Ph-Phoebe? Phoebe.
Yeah, you-you were right.
There are men here. One of 'em's all bloody.
Marcus, listen to me. You got to get out of there.
Get out of there now. You get back to that car.
Do you understand?
Yeah.
Thought I heard something. Come here.
[beeping]
Marcus? Marcus. No, Marcus.
Raymont, you and Phoebe, you stay right here.
We're gonna get your brother back.
[crying]
[door closes]
[Marcus groaning]
Come on, man. I won't tell nobody, all right? Please!
I told you to stay in the car.
But it's okay, Marcus.
Maybe this is for the best.
Hey, you leave him alone.
You may not value your own life,
but certainly, you won't let me kill this innocent boy.
Mr. St. John, Saint, please, please.
RIOS:Don't! Where is it?
Time's up.No! No, no, no.
Please!Wait! Wait! Wait! It's in my car.
It's hidden in my car.
That's where I stashed it.
[panting] There.
Was that so hard?
Saint, Saint, come on, please.
Please. I'm sorry.
[Marcus yelling]
[siren blaring, engine revving]
Hondo.
You with us?
Thinking about Rios.
We'll get him back.And what if we don't?
I've been chasing that son of a bitch for over a year.
Every day looking forward to the moment
we finally slap cuffs on him. There ain't no victory
in busting him for Rios' murder.
Look, I saw how Saint got to you at the park earlier.
You're gonna be able to keep your head
if we are too late to save Rios?
If we are too late for Rios,
I am not letting his sacrifice be for nothing.
We take Saint down clean.
HICKS: Command to 20-David.
Marcus' phone has left the soup kitchen.
Looks like Saint's on the move.
He's heading north on Alvarado.
Uh, check that. Now west on Chavez.
What should we do, Hondo? Stay the course to the soup kitchen
or call an audible and follow the phone?
Just 'cause Saint's in motion doesn't mean Rios is with him.
He's right. There's no way
to know if they're still together.
If Saint got what he wanted,
he may be going after that flash drive.
I-I hate to say it,
but if-if Rios gave up the drive,
there's a good chance that Saint is fleeing a murder.
LUCA: What's your call, boss?
Follow the phone, Luca. Stay on Saint.
Hey.
You sure?
No, but I better be right.
LUCA: Hang on!
[siren blaring]
[engine revving]
SAINT: Excuse me, sir. I need an alternator
for a '73 Cadillac Brougham.
Is there anyone here who can help me?
I'm afraid you're gonna have to come back on Monday.
I'm the only one here.Unfortunate for you, I guess.
[grunts]
Destroy the security tapes.
I want this clean.Okay.
MAN: Come on.
You didn't need to bring the kid.
The kid is my insurance to keep you honest.
His car's over there.
Move.
Now where's my flash drive?
It's hidden in the passenger seat headrest.
[sighs]
A hole underneath. It's there.
It better be.
Got it.
This little device could have destroyed everything I've built.
Dump the bodies. Nothing traces back to me.
[siren blaring]
[tires squealing, engine revving]
Move!
[indistinct shouting]
[siren chirps]
LUCA: Okay, we've got two armed suspects-- 10:00 and 2:00.
Both suspects have hostages.
Is one of them Rios?
Yes, at your two.
Hey, Saint's moving deeper into the yard.
Now, Street, Powell, you get Rios and Marcus.
Tan, you stay with Luca.
Deacon, give me two. We're going after Saint.
Luca, we need cover.Got it!
20-Squad, move. Move!
Tan, watch out for one of the suspects at your seven!
[gunfire][grunts]
25-David. First suspect down.
LAPD! Drop the weapon!
Drop it right now! Up against the vehicle!
Marcus, this way, quick! Behind that vehicle.
POWELL: Go, Marcus!
STREET:Up against the vehicle now! Hands behind your back!
Going hands on. Come here!
STREET: 26-David. Second suspect in custody. Marcus is safe.
POWELL: Luca, talk to me. We need eyes.
LUCA: At your twelve. Grey sedan.
[Rios groans]
Drop it!
[grunts]
Move!
Don't!
Hands behind your back.
Hands behind your back!
POWELL: We've got you, Detective.
26-David. Third suspect in custody.
Rios is safe.
HONDO: 20-David to D-Team. I've got eyes on Saint.
Stop right there, Saint!
DEACON: Drop the weapon!
Don't move.
Looks like my back is against the wall.
DEACON: There's nowhere to go.
It's over.
Appears to be.
You put that weapon down, you can still walk out of here.
And what?
Spend the rest of my life in prison?
You don't need to die today, Saint.
We all punch the clock someday, Hondo.
Better on my own terms, while I have the people's hearts.
Once they know what you've done, that all goes away.
My legacy will speak louder than your accusations, I assure you.
Shoot me,
and I'll remain a hero, and you
will be known as the man who killed a saint.
[gunshots][Saint grunts]
HONDO:20-David to Command. Saint is down.
We need an R/A to location.
[groans]
You ain't no saint.
I told you it was just gonna take one mistake.
You are not dying a martyr.
[groans]
Hey, Powell.
I thought I was clear before.
We don't have to do the whole check-in thing.
You were right. You don't need me hovering.
I just wanted to help, you know,
and I see a lot of myself in you.
I'm not like you.
And as a woman,
I don't want people thinking that I need extra help
to keep up, you understand?
Yeah, I do.
I just... I...
I had a lot of trouble fitting in
when I first got here, too, and I think
I was trying to be the person that I needed back then,
not the person that you need now.
What does that mean?
What kind of person do I need now?
I don't know.
But I'd like to find out.
Look, um,
there's few of us, we're hanging at my place tonight.
You should come.
Get to know the team a little better.
Sure. Sounds fun.
Cool.
[woman speaks indistinctly over P.A.]
[speaking Spanish]
Gracias.
There he is.RIOS [laughing]: Hey.
Maria,
I am so sorry.
You brought him back to me.
Thank you.
I'll give you two some space.
How you holding up?
Better and better.
I spoke to Cyber. The flash drive key worked.
Man, that was quick thinking,
you sticking that thing in the headrest.
Ah, heat of the moment, man.
I saw the hole and reacted. Glad it worked out.
When Cyber unlocked the encrypted laptop, they found
smuggling routes, illegal transaction records,
everything we need to put Saint away for life.Yeah.
And we're doing everything we can for your son Charlie.
Hicks thinks, at worst, he's looking at admin probation.
[sighs] Music to my ears.
Seriously, Rios.
I'm sorry how things went down.
I should have never pushed you into going after Saint.
I almost got you killed.
I didn't take up the shield just to collect a pension.
We did good.
But, yeah, next time you need a favor,
call somebody else, huh?
[both laughing]
That's fair.[laughs]
That's...
Ah, come on.
You're kidding me.
Commander? Can I come in?Yeah.
What's up?
Look, you can come clean, Commander.
You shouldn't be going through this without some support.
Going through what?
Look, Tan and I heard you on the phone with your doctor
this morning. We know something's going on.
If there's anything we can do...
Oh. [laughs]
Oh, Luca, I'm not sick.
I was talking to Luiza Coles
She's...
She's a matchmaker.
But you called her "Doc."
Well, he's got a PhD in sociology.
Everybody calls her "Doc."Okay.
So, the exercise bike and the diet change?Luca, I haven't
been on a date in 30 years, so I just want to, you know,
put my best foot forward.So you're not sick?
No, no, no, far from it.
If I felt any better, I'd be two people. Oh.
Hey, oh.
Luca, Luca, that's enough, that's enough.
Wow. You...That was...
I'm fine, all right?
I still think you might need my help, though.
Dating's changed a little bit in 30 years.
Unbutton the top button-- this is a date, not a job interview.
[laughs]
You remember I'm still your boss, right?
All right. This is not a job interview, sir.
How much time do we have?
I'm meeting her for drinks in an hour.
Oh, my God, okay. Well, it's not a lot of time,
but it's enough to run you through the basics.
This what you're gonna wear?
It's casual.Do you have anything else?
You wear the same thing every day, man.Yeah, well...
Just roll the sleeves up. That should be good.Oh, all right.
Nichelle.
Hey.
Hey, beautiful.Mwaw.
I figured I'd try one of your mom's recipes
to celebrate your big win.
I have been saving this congratulations all day.
You've finally put Saint where he belongs.
Baby, people are already calling his arrest...
a political hit job.
Oh, they'll come around, but first they need to mourn.
You have to remember
the man ran charities and a soup kitchen.
Saint meant something good to just as many people as he hurt.
Maybe...
you just need a little reminder.
[chuckles] Oh, yeah?[chuckles]
Of what?
That no matter what people say,
what you did today, what you do every day
makes the world safer for everyone in it.
And everyone to come.
You're right.
