S.W.A.T. (2017) is a popular American action television drama series that premiered on CBS in 2017. The show is based on the 1975 television series of the same name and the 2003 film adaptation, and follows the fast-paced and adrenaline-fueled work of the elite Special Weapons and Tactics (S.W.A.T.) team of the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD). In season 4 episode 8, titled 'Crusade', the team is called upon to stop a group of extremists who are threatening to launch a series of coordinated attacks in Los Angeles.

Led by Sergeant Daniel 'Hondo' Harrelson (played by Shemar Moore), the S.W.A.T. team is made up of skilled and highly-trained officers with diverse backgrounds and specialties. The team also includes Deacon Kay (Jay Harrington), Chris Alonso (Lina Esco), Dominique Luca (Kenny Johnson), and Victor Tan (David Lim), among others, who work together to protect the city and its citizens from dangerous criminals and threats.

In 'Crusade', the team must race against time to track down a group of fanatics who have stolen a cache of military-grade weapons and are planning revenge on a man who they believe has wronged them. With the threat of a terrorist attack looming, the S.W.A.T. team works tirelessly to identify the group's leader and thwart their plans before innocent lives are lost.

As the team investigates, they discover that the extremist group has formed a cult-like following, with members willing to do whatever it takes to carry out their twisted ideals. With tensions rising and the clock ticking, Hondo and the team must rely on their training and their trust in each other to bring the perpetrators to justice and prevent an unthinkable tragedy from unfolding.

Along the way, the team faces challenges both on and off the field, as they grapple with personal struggles and conflicts that threaten to tear them apart. From navigating difficult relationships to dealing with the repercussions of past mistakes, the members of the S.W.A.T. team are tested in ways they never could have imagined.

With intense action sequences, heart-pumping suspense, and a talented ensemble cast, 'Crusade' is a gripping episode that showcases the best of what S.W.A.T. has to offer.
