The Rookies Meet SWAT

Ryker orders Terry, Mike and Chris to survival course with the SWAT team.

I thought this episode was lost and apparently half of it is, since only 27 minutes of it appear on Youtube.

It starts with Terry and Chris being flagged down by young boy, saying his father is going to kill his mother. The father (he is not credited but it looks like Paul Carr) is holding his wife at gunpoint. Terry tries to talk him down but SWAT arrives, led by Lt. Harrelson (Steve Forrest), he would later star in the SWAT TV series. Harrelson's men kill the gunman and the wife is saved. Terry feels they a life needed not be taken. We see a plot unfolding with Leslie Nielsen and Robert Walden heisting a computer center.

I hope the rest of the episode will appear someday because this looks like it will be a good one.
