S.W.A.T Season 5 Episode 11 Recap
Episode 11 of S.W.A.T Season 5 came out on 27th February 2022 and was titled “Old School Cool”. The episode began with a team from the LAPD going to bust a drug supply gang, but they walked right into an ambush as the mercenaries were a lot more in number than what the original intel suggested. Therefore, they had to call in for backup, and SWAT arrived at the scene to help them get out of there and catch the drug dealers. Although, things started to go sideways for SWAT as well when the drone footage experienced glitches, and the communications from the base also went out. The team was on its own but managed to get the officers out and catch some of the mercenaries.
While at the department, an IT guy named Evan Whitlock, who had come on call of Robert Hicks to recover some lost data, informed them that the recent glitches were due to a virus uploaded into the LAPD servers. Furthermore, the lost data was also due to the cyberattack, and all the operations that SWAT would run were visible by the hacker. Therefore, Robert shut down the computers and servers of the department, and the team had to work the old school way. However, the major task was to get out an undercover officer who was compromised due to the hack. Eventually, the team got to the officer in time and got their hands on the gang leader Pedro Suarez who was holding the undercover officer.
Later on, Hondo and Hicks interrogated him and got to the hacker going by the name ‘Shadowboxx’. However, another gang caught him and took him away to work for them. SWAT followed the number plates of the van he was taken in and reached the apartment of another officer who was under the target of the gang leader. Moreover, Hondo and Jim followed the leader all the way on a boat and rescued the officer safely. Eventually, the servers were cleaned of the virus and came online. In the end, we saw Jim go to the woman he once pranked and apologized to her. While Chris managed to help out Alexis and make sure she had support.
