S.W.A.T. episode, Hondo and Nichelle were new parents. They were given a day for them to enjoy as a family, but Hondo didn’t get to enjoy paternity leave. He had to return to work much sooner than he felt comfortable with and so he was back at it with SWAT before long.
He was the leading the team when they were were called in after a group of men robbed an armored truck. The truck was delivering jewelry. The guards with the truck were supposed to stick to the protocols in place in case of an accident or attempted robbery and unfortunately one of them went rouge. And it resulted in several deaths.
The gunmen first staged an accident in the street to get the truck to stop. They created this diversion so that no one would see them putting an explosive under the truck to kill the engine.
Which was where things went against protocol. The explosive forced the truck to stay idle only one of the security guards was a veteran on this job. She knew they were safer inside of the truck than outside. She wanted to wait the gunmen out and she was ignored by the younger security guard because he had a panic attack.
The guy opened the door. He was safer inside of the truck and he still opened the door because he thought they would burn up in the truck. His panic attack made him forget all reasoning.
He went off script. The gunmen were able to quickly grab him up and they killed his partner. They forced their now hostage to open the back door to the truck for them. They could have stolen every piece of jewelry in the truck. Only they chose to look for specific item. It was a necklace and they went on the run right after they found it.
LAPD was fast on the scene. They corned the gunman in a homeless encampment area. They cordoned the area off and they waited for SWAT to arrive. SWAT later went into the encampment.
They found out that somehow their gunmen managed to escape in spite of everything. They pretended to slip out by pretending to be victims in spite of being surrounded by LAPD. They also killed several of the homeless people inside. Street recognized one of the victims. They both grew up in Long Beach and the guy that died had sadly been an idol of Street’s when he was a kid.
Back then, Cooper Murphy seemed like he had it all. Street couldn’t believe he was homeless much less that he had no one to claim his remains. This death hit him more than it usually does and so Street went looking for people he was hoping would miss the guy. He was doing this on the side while they looked for the gunmen.
