Jeffrey 'Jack' Mumford
- Daniel 'Hondo' Harrelson: [enters Hicks' hospital room] Commander? Mumford?
- Robert Hicks: Damn it. I told you not to call him.
- Daniel 'Hondo' Harrelson: Sir, he didn't, but I wish he had. My phone's been blowing up with text messages about my boss in an off-hours incident that landed him in the hospital.
- Robert Hicks: Well, as you can see, I'm just fine.
- Jeff Mumford: Turns out he can't handle his fentanyl. Caught a snootful from a low-life street chemist.
- Robert Hicks: I shouldn't have been close enough to get hit by the stuff. Mental error.
- Daniel 'Hondo' Harrelson: But, guys, I'm still in the dark here. Why don't y'all tell me what the hell happened?
- Robert Hicks: You heard of the Echo Park Six?
- Daniel 'Hondo' Harrelson: That was before my time on SWAT, but yeah. Task force with the DEA. Y'all took down six heroin distributors in one night.
- Jeff Mumford: Kept 80 kilos off the street.
- Daniel 'Hondo' Harrelson: And that was how many years ago?
- Robert Hicks: Fifteen.
- Daniel 'Hondo' Harrelson: So, what, this is decades-old retribution?
- Robert Hicks: Not exactly. The DEA wouldn't even have known about the Echo Park Six if not for SWAT.
- Jeff Mumford: One of my informants gave us the lead. We shared the intel with DEA.
- Daniel 'Hondo' Harrelson: I never heard that part.
- Jeff Mumford: Not something I like to talk about.
- Robert Hicks: Less than a week after we took down the Echo Park Six, our informant was murdered.
- Jeff Mumford: She was a recovering addict. 19 years old, a kid. They did it with a hot shot. She was dead as soon as the plunger was pushed.
- Robert Hicks: There was more battery acid than heroin in that syringe. There was a man's DNA all over the scene, matching DNA on a bottle of battery acid we found in a dumpster nearby.
- Jeff Mumford: And the DNA didn't match anybody related to the Echo Park Six. Didn't even match anybody in any database. Over the years, we checked back in from time to time.
- Robert Hicks: You hear how they caught the Golden State Killer? Using online ancestry databases?
- Daniel 'Hondo' Harrelson: You wanna try that to find this guy?
- Robert Hicks: Well, that was Mumford's idea. He came to me. He said, "Maybe this is how we can finally catch him."
- Jeff Mumford: Nikki watches all those true-crime shows, put a worm in my ear, and you know, I've got some extra time right now.
- Robert Hicks: The closest probable match we got was a fourth cousin.
- Daniel 'Hondo' Harrelson: Which means a lot of possibles.
- Robert Hicks: Well, 34 just in the LA area, so we start tracking them down one by one and collecting DNA samples.
- Daniel 'Hondo' Harrelson: If the guy you were on today is slinging fentanyl, maybe you already found your man.
- Robert Hicks: Well, only the DNA test could tell us that for sure. But, yeah, I mean, we're thinking the same thing.
- Daniel 'Hondo' Harrelson: Which would mean justice for this girl.
- Jeff Mumford: Tonya. Her name was Tonya. She wanted to get clean. Wanted to put the dealers who hooked her in prison. I shouldn't have let her do it. She was a hell of a softball player before the drugs took over.
- Daniel 'Hondo' Harrelson: You knew her before she was an informant?
- Jeff Mumford: Yeah. She was my goddaughter.
- Jeff Mumford: Never make promises to your wife you can't keep. That's what I learned.
- Sergeant David 'Deacon' Kay: You've been married four times.
- Jeff Mumford: I didn't learn it right away.
