The streets of Los Angeles face an unprecedented threat in the second half of the two-hour series finale of “S.W.A.T.” “Return to Base,” the final mission for Hondo and 20-Squad, finds the city under siege by a ruthless crew of ex-pat Russian mercenaries, led by the brutal Dmitri Rykov. Their plan: plant hundreds of explosives throughout Los Angeles and demand Rykov’s release.
Hondo, the locally born and raised S.W.A.T. sergeant, finds himself in a race against time to disarm the hidden bombs and stop the mercenaries before they unleash chaos. But when Rykov is brought to S.W.A.T. headquarters for safekeeping, the situation takes a dangerous turn. The mercenaries launch a direct assault on S.W.A.T. HQ, turning the hunters into the hunted. Now, Hondo and his team must fight for their own survival while simultaneously protecting the city they’ve sworn to serve.
The explosive action looks set to be a fitting sendoff for this long-running crime drama. Will Hondo and his team prevail, or will the mercenaries bring Los Angeles to its knees? Find out when “S.W.A.T.” airs its series finale Friday, May 16 at 10:00 PM ET on CBS.
