Hondo and his team pursue two drug dealers in a new clip from S.W.A.T. season 8, episode 16, showcasing a fiery action sequence. S.W.A.T. season 8 is closing out its final season with some high-octane cases, reflecting the teamwork and dedication of the Twenty Squad across their various missions. Season 8, episode 16 is no different, focusing on the team seeking out a drug dealer after the kidnapping and torture of two star college football players.
Now, ScreenRant is sharing an exclusive clip provided by CBS from S.W.A.T. season 8, episode 16, "Hail Mary," that sees the team drive up to a pair of drug dealers. The drug dealers make a run for it, torching their car as the team looks for two people, presumably the football players. Hondo breaks the window of the car in search of them, but radios to other team members that he can't find them. Meanwhile, Deacon takes one of the suspects down, while the second remains elusive. Check out the full clip below:
What S.W.A.T. Season 8, Episode 16's Clip Means For The Episode
The Team Is Going Up Against A Ruthless Foe
Based on the clip, the team's search for the football players is still continuing at this point in the episode, with them pursuing the drug dealers to discover their whereabouts. Unfortunately, it seems the mission isn't going to plan, with one of their leads dead and the other in the wind. However, the best episodes of S.W.A.T. often find the team needing to think creatively in a tense situation, something that will no doubt play into their search for the missing college students. How events play out afterwards, however, remain a mystery.
Deacon also got a chance to shine, with the episode description saying he'll get "unexpected attention" from his "heroics." This could involve the criminal he shoots in the clip, although what kind of attention he'll draw for himself is unclear. However, the length to which the team is going to go to rescue the football players shows everyone will do whatever is necessary. This includes making tough judgment calls, something S.W.A.T.'s final season will no doubt be full of, especially in an episode poised to be as action-packed as this one.
