During these runs, Gustavo reflects on the future and how to make the moment even more special. He begins planning a surprise to propose to Kendall, looking for ways to make the proposal unique and unforgettable.
Gustavo is still deep in thought about the surprise when he receives an unexpected phone call from his agent, Karen Lewis.
Karen (on the phone): "Gustavo, I have an incredible opportunity for you. The 'SWAT' series is looking for someone to train the cast and make the scenes more authentic. They would love to have your expertise."

Chapter 133 – Training and Impact
Gustavo begins his work with the SWAT team, and the first session is dedicated to training in tactical entries in confined spaces. The training room is set up with several scenarios that simulate urban and residential environments. Gustavo, with his military experience, guides the team through a series of practical exercises.
Gustavo: "Remember, precision and communication are key. Every move must be coordinated, and everyone must be aware of their positions and responsibilities."
He demonstrates a tactical entry into a simulated room, using protective equipment and advanced techniques. The team watches closely, absorbing every detail.
Gustavo: "When entering a confined space, the priority is always to ensure the safety of all team members and minimize risks. Use angles to your advantage and never advance without assessing the situation."
The actor who plays Hondo, the leader of the SWAT team in the series, watches with great interest.
Hondo (actor): "I look forward to learning from you, Gustavo. I want my character to be as realistic as possible."
Gustavo: "I'm going to show you what it means to lead a team in special operations. It's about confidence, strategy, and knowing how to handle high-pressure situations."
Gustavo leads the actor and the rest of the cast in leadership exercises, demonstrating how a leader should behave in combat situations and team management.
During one of the sessions, Gustavo organizes a full simulation, where the cast must execute a tactical entry and rescue a "victim" in a complex environment.
Gustavo: "Now, I want everyone to put into practice what we've learned. Coordination is key. Let's do this safely, but with the intensity that a real situation demands."
The actors divide into teams and practice entering the simulated environment. Gustavo observes, corrects postures and techniques, and provides immediate feedback.
Gustavo: "Good job with communication, but remember to stay calm even under pressure. That's what separates a good operator from a great one."
In a session more focused on leadership, Gustavo works specifically with the actor who plays Hondo.
Gustavo: "As a leader, you need to demonstrate confidence and control. Your team will follow your lead, so it is essential that you set the example for them to follow."
Hondo (actor): "I see. What is the main quality a leader must have in an operation?"
Gustavo: "The main quality is the ability to make quick and effective decisions. In addition, a leader must be able to read the situation and adapt as needed."
Gustavo conducts simulations where Hondo must make critical decisions and coordinate his team, giving advice and adjustments along the way.
With the start of the new episodes of the SWAT series, which now include the techniques and tactics taught by Gustavo, the audience's reaction is immediate and positive.
