Thai Hard

**Thai Hard** is the first episode of the sixth season in the remake version of *S.W.A.T.*, and the one-hundred-seventh episode overall, which was aired on October 7, 2022.

## Summary

During a trip to Bangkok to train alongside Thailand's premiere S.W.A.T. team, Hondo and his former military buddy Joe stumble upon a wide-ranging heroin operation with ties to Los Angeles and find themselves on the run from a powerful drug kingpin.

## Recap

It additionally exhibits that, clearly, there are different badass law enforcement officials in different international locations and seeing how totally different or not so totally different they do issues is so fascinating.

Since Luca spent a substantial period of time in Germany, Street positively deserves a trip in spite of everything that he is been by.

Meanwhile, I really like how rapidly Hicks knew that Hondo would wish to spend extra time in Thailand and already accredited it within the papers earlier than he even referred to as.

It simply exhibits how nicely he is aware of 20-Squad, even when it means they will not be again dwelling anytime quickly.

But I’m excited to see what the house group will likely be doing with half the squad gone; they’ve already confirmed they’ll maintain their very own.

Speaking of holding your own,Chris's (Lina Esco) absence has already been wildly felt.
From Deacon's mention of how great of a female S.W.A.T. officer she was to the definite void felt around HQ without her.

However, Chris' departure left an open spot on the team and who to take it but another female. Fans will remember S.W.A.T. Academy recruit Zoe Powell from its fifth season, and she has quickly jumped into action.

I love that she's part of 20-Squad because she is already fitting in. I'm excited to see what storylines she gets and how she will continue inspiring young females.

## Quotes

**Hondo**: [staking out a heroin factory] I thought you shut this place down.
**Joe**: We did. We razed it half to the ground. Pulled bodies from the ashes. But they're back in action.
**Hondo**: That's a ballsy move, starting it up again on the same site.
**Joe**: They must've thought lightning wouldn't strike twice in the same place. And it wouldn't have if you hadn't wanted to see it.
[spotting an adult overseeing the children]
**Joe**: Son of a bitch, it can't be.
**Hondo**: What? Is that Zaw Min? You said he was dead.
**Joe**: I thought he was. He was inside when the place imploded. His body was burned beyond recognition. We had to ID him from his tattoos.

**Somchai**: Forces just raided the site of Zaw Min's heroin factory. They moved everything; the whole operation, gone.
**Deacon**: He must have cleared out, knowing you were coming.
**Hondo**: What about Thet? And the children?
**Somchai**: They're gone, too. But we're chasing down leads. We'll find them.
**Hondo**: Then I gotta stay here and help. I made Thet a promise. I'm not leaving until I know he's safe. The two of you should head back to L.A., though.
**Tan**: Are you kidding? Split up again? Look what just happened.
**Deacon**: Hondo, we're a team. We're not leaving here without you.
