Hey, Nick.
7
00:01:55,261 --> 00:01:56,894
All right.
You seem happy this morning.
8
00:01:56,963 --> 00:01:59,430
I just dropped Delilah and
the kids off at the airport.
9
00:01:59,499 --> 00:02:01,031
They're visiting their cousins.
10
00:02:01,100 --> 00:02:03,768
Which means I have the place
all to myself.
11
00:02:03,836 --> 00:02:04,836
All right.
72 hours
12
00:02:04,904 --> 00:02:06,270
of amazing alone time.
13
00:02:06,339 --> 00:02:08,372
Gonna leave early
if it gets slow today.
14
00:02:08,441 --> 00:02:09,774
McGee out on the town.
15
00:02:09,842 --> 00:02:12,009
Hey, uh, I can join you
right after the gym.
16
00:02:12,078 --> 00:02:13,558
No, I'm not going out.
I'm staying in,
17
00:02:13,613 --> 00:02:16,447
watching
a history-of-tap documentary.
18
00:02:16,516 --> 00:02:18,682
That is the lamest thing
I've ever heard.
19
00:02:18,751 --> 00:02:21,085
Also, I had this idea
for a hack-proof smart speaker.
20
00:02:21,154 --> 00:02:22,620
Nope. I take it back.
21
00:02:22,688 --> 00:02:24,421
So let me get
this straight:
22
00:02:24,490 --> 00:02:26,023
you can do
anything you want tonight,
23
00:02:26,092 --> 00:02:27,691
but you choose
to stay home
24
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,294
and do nerdy things.
And make fish sticks.
25
00:02:30,363 --> 00:02:32,029
Delilah doesn't like
the smell, so...
26
00:02:32,098 --> 00:02:33,864
I don't know,
sounds pretty good to me.
27
00:02:33,933 --> 00:02:35,866
And you wonder why you
got stuffed in lockers.
28
00:02:35,935 --> 00:02:36,767
Rude.
Rude.
29
00:02:37,703 --> 00:02:39,270
Hey, Sloane.
30
00:02:39,338 --> 00:02:40,649
What do you do
with your alone time?
31
00:02:40,673 --> 00:02:42,072
I don't really call it
alone time.
32
00:02:42,141 --> 00:02:43,474
To me, it's just time.
33
00:02:43,543 --> 00:02:46,410
Which I've wasted
enough of already on this.
34
00:02:46,479 --> 00:02:48,579
Someone texted me
to grab a coffee after work,
35
00:02:48,648 --> 00:02:51,549
and I have no idea who it is--
they're not in my phone.
36
00:02:51,617 --> 00:02:53,884
Ooh, mystery text.
37
00:02:53,953 --> 00:02:55,252
Why don't you
just ask who it is?
38
00:02:55,321 --> 00:02:56,754
Dude. No, no, no. No.
39
00:02:56,823 --> 00:02:57,955
You can't just ask.
40
00:02:58,024 --> 00:02:59,490
Well, why not?
Hello?
41
00:02:59,559 --> 00:03:01,503
'Cause that would mean admitting
they're not important enough
42
00:03:01,527 --> 00:03:02,827
to be in my contacts.
43
00:03:02,895 --> 00:03:04,962
Which is why, McGee,
I was hoping
44
00:03:05,031 --> 00:03:07,164
maybe you could help me
trace it?
45
00:03:07,233 --> 00:03:08,993
You want me to break the law
so you can avoid
46
00:03:09,035 --> 00:03:09,967
some social awkwardness?
47
00:03:10,036 --> 00:03:11,769
It was worth a try.
48
00:03:11,838 --> 00:03:14,338
Uh, but whoever it is
mentioned NCIS.
49
00:03:14,407 --> 00:03:15,806
Anyone recognize this number?
50
00:03:15,875 --> 00:03:17,608
Mm-mmm.
- Dead body.
51
00:03:17,677 --> 00:03:19,076
Roberts exit. I-95.
52
00:03:19,145 --> 00:03:20,411
Ooh, that
sounds messy.
53
00:03:20,479 --> 00:03:22,279
Bye.
Um...
54
00:03:22,348 --> 00:03:23,814
boss, is this, like,
all-day messy?
55
00:03:23,883 --> 00:03:25,643
'Cause I was kind of hoping
to leave early...
56
00:03:26,552 --> 00:03:27,651
I am on your six.
57
00:03:34,026 --> 00:03:35,593
Yep, messy.
58
00:03:35,661 --> 00:03:37,494
So much
for fish sticks.
59
00:03:37,563 --> 00:03:39,496
Thank you.
60
00:03:39,565 --> 00:03:41,165
Okay, here's
what we know so far.
61
00:03:41,234 --> 00:03:44,668
The deceased is Musician
First Class John Warren,
62
00:03:44,737 --> 00:03:46,770
22. 18 witnesses
saw him jump.
63
00:03:46,839 --> 00:03:48,339
Only one saw him land.
64
00:03:48,407 --> 00:03:50,374
Hugo Grava-- he's the
band's equipment manager.
65
00:03:50,443 --> 00:03:51,475
He's a civilian.
66
00:03:51,544 --> 00:03:52,943
So he was
following the bus
67
00:03:53,012 --> 00:03:55,846
when Musician Warren
came through the windshield.
68
00:03:55,915 --> 00:03:57,348
Talk to him.
69
00:03:57,416 --> 00:03:59,149
Rest of you, go do something.
70
00:03:59,218 --> 00:04:01,218
18 statements.
Here we go.
71
00:04:02,588 --> 00:04:03,821
It happened fast.
72
00:04:03,890 --> 00:04:05,789
I still can't believe it.
73
00:04:05,858 --> 00:04:08,826
I... I killed my buddy.
74
00:04:08,895 --> 00:04:11,662
I looked down to tune the radio,
75
00:04:11,731 --> 00:04:14,164
and when I looked up...
76
00:04:14,233 --> 00:04:16,367
he was flying right at me.
77
00:04:16,435 --> 00:04:18,869
I thought he was doing well.
Maybe I just
78
00:04:18,938 --> 00:04:20,037
didn't want to see it.
79
00:04:20,106 --> 00:04:23,007
John was open
about his mental health issues.
80
00:04:23,075 --> 00:04:26,076
He had intense bouts
of depression.
81
00:04:26,145 --> 00:04:28,913
When was the last one?
Maybe a year ago.
82
00:04:28,981 --> 00:04:30,859
Damn it, I should have been
paying more attention.
83
00:04:30,883 --> 00:04:32,216
You went
84
00:04:32,285 --> 00:04:34,385
to boot camp?
Of course. We all did.
85
00:04:34,453 --> 00:04:35,819
Of all the Navy's
professions,
86
00:04:35,888 --> 00:04:37,488
musicians are some
of the fittest.
87
00:04:37,556 --> 00:04:39,556
Some of us have advanced
weapons training, too.
88
00:04:39,625 --> 00:04:41,191
Wow.
So they don't really let
89
00:04:41,260 --> 00:04:43,060
any high school band nerd in.
90
00:04:43,129 --> 00:04:44,428
Nah, dawg.
91
00:04:44,497 --> 00:04:46,063
Had to go through
five auditions.
92
00:04:46,132 --> 00:04:47,765
But we start at E-6 pay.
93
00:04:47,833 --> 00:04:48,833
E-6?
94
00:04:48,901 --> 00:04:50,567
Wow. Damn, man.
95
00:04:50,636 --> 00:04:52,937
I had no idea that flute players
could be so badass.
96
00:04:53,005 --> 00:04:54,538
It's a piccolo.
97
00:04:54,607 --> 00:04:56,874
Piccolo.
98
00:04:56,943 --> 00:04:58,409
This band--
99
00:04:58,477 --> 00:05:00,577
we're a family.
100
00:05:00,646 --> 00:05:03,847
Just like brothers and sisters
on the battlefield.
101
00:05:03,916 --> 00:05:06,684
We're supposed to take care
of each other.
102
00:05:06,752 --> 00:05:09,253
Thank you, Chief.
103
00:05:09,322 --> 00:05:11,555
Someone took care of him,
all right.
104
00:05:11,624 --> 00:05:13,757
I do not think
this was a suicide.
105
00:05:13,826 --> 00:05:15,559
He leapt into oncoming traffic.
106
00:05:15,628 --> 00:05:17,306
Well, the victim collided
with the van, yes,
107
00:05:17,330 --> 00:05:19,196
but that doesn't appear to be
what killed him.
108
00:05:19,265 --> 00:05:21,465
Look, his carotid artery
was severed.
109
00:05:21,534 --> 00:05:23,812
So there should have been a ton
more blood. It's almost like,
110
00:05:23,836 --> 00:05:25,869
I don't know,
his heart stopped beating
111
00:05:25,938 --> 00:05:28,462
just before he hit the ground
or the... windshield.
112
00:05:28,463 --> 00:05:29,364
From what?
113
00:05:29,388 --> 00:05:31,597
We have to wait on
toxicology to be sure,
114
00:05:31,811 --> 00:05:34,311
but based on
the cyanotic fingernail beds,
115
00:05:34,380 --> 00:05:35,813
the mouth foam,
116
00:05:35,881 --> 00:05:39,283
I think we're looking
at a fast-acting poison.
117
00:05:39,352 --> 00:05:41,251
It was probably administered
just before he left.
118
00:05:41,252 --> 00:05:43,175
Hey, the bus
had not stopped in an hour.
119
00:05:43,176 --> 00:05:44,327
So whoever poisoned him...
120
00:05:44,351 --> 00:05:46,324
Had to be one
of his bandmates,
121
00:05:46,325 --> 00:05:48,225
on the bus.
122
00:05:56,565 --> 00:05:58,343
All right, let me get this
straight: you think that
123
00:05:58,367 --> 00:06:00,867
Bishop and I deserved
to be stuffed into lockers...
124
00:06:00,936 --> 00:06:01,440
Yeah.
125
00:06:01,464 --> 00:06:03,498
...but you spend your lunch
reading up on the piccolo.
126
00:06:03,499 --> 00:06:06,473
Hey, you think it's just a little flute,
but, you know...
127
00:06:06,542 --> 00:06:08,442
it really adds a...
128
00:06:09,272 --> 00:06:10,438
sparkle to that sound.
129
00:06:10,507 --> 00:06:12,040
Sparkle. Huh.
130
00:06:12,109 --> 00:06:13,908
So while you mocked
me and McGee
131
00:06:13,977 --> 00:06:15,643
for liking
"nerd things..."
132
00:06:15,712 --> 00:06:16,945
Yeah, still
don't happen to see
133
00:06:17,013 --> 00:06:18,747
what's so nerdy
about the history of tap.
134
00:06:18,815 --> 00:06:19,714
Yeah, you now want
135
00:06:19,783 --> 00:06:22,117
to learn the piccolo?
Why not?
136
00:06:22,185 --> 00:06:24,263
You know, I always wanted
to play an instrument, but...
137
00:06:24,287 --> 00:06:26,321
You know, I'm also feeling
the sousaphone.
138
00:06:26,390 --> 00:06:27,822
Oh, I can't wait
to hear this.
139
00:06:27,891 --> 00:06:29,457
Well, it's,
like, 30 pounds.
140
00:06:29,526 --> 00:06:32,961
It's a built-in workout.
Work out later, muscle head. Victim.
141
00:06:33,029 --> 00:06:34,629
- What do we know?
- Navy Musician
142
00:06:34,698 --> 00:06:36,164
First Class John Warren.
143
00:06:36,233 --> 00:06:39,067
Single. No kids. Comes
from a long line of sailors.
144
00:06:39,136 --> 00:06:41,503
His father and grandfather
were in the Navy as well.
145
00:06:41,571 --> 00:06:44,105
He joined the Anchor Ensemble
about two years ago.
146
00:06:44,174 --> 00:06:46,052
They're the Navy's
most elite band-- they play
147
00:06:46,076 --> 00:06:48,109
state dinners
and concerts in D.C.
148
00:06:48,178 --> 00:06:49,322
But when they're overseas,
149
00:06:49,346 --> 00:06:51,124
their area of responsibility
is South America.
150
00:06:51,148 --> 00:06:53,314
They play diplomatic events
all over the continent.
151
00:06:53,383 --> 00:06:54,649
All right. Motive.
Well,
152
00:06:54,718 --> 00:06:56,117
we really sure
this was a murder?
153
00:06:56,186 --> 00:06:57,952
I mean, the guy
jumped out of a bus.
154
00:06:58,021 --> 00:06:59,866
- You think he poisoned himself?
- I don't think so.
155
00:06:59,890 --> 00:07:01,289
I reviewed
Warren's psych evals,
156
00:07:01,358 --> 00:07:03,591
and yes,
he did have some issues,
157
00:07:03,660 --> 00:07:05,238
but he was on medication
that seemed to be working.
158
00:07:05,262 --> 00:07:07,407
There's nothing to suggest
he was suicidal.
159
00:07:07,431 --> 00:07:08,997
All right. Profile
the rest of the band.
160
00:07:09,065 --> 00:07:10,598
See who flags
as homicidal.
161
00:07:12,269 --> 00:07:13,368
Got it.
162
00:07:13,437 --> 00:07:15,303
McGee.
163
00:07:15,372 --> 00:07:16,671
Yeah.
164
00:07:16,740 --> 00:07:18,840
You got point.
165
00:07:18,909 --> 00:07:20,341
What's that?
166
00:07:20,410 --> 00:07:21,576
You got point.
167
00:07:22,612 --> 00:07:24,312
I got to go.
Uh...
168
00:07:24,381 --> 00:07:26,648
for now, or...?
Uh...
169
00:07:26,716 --> 00:07:28,183
next couple of days.
170
00:07:28,251 --> 00:07:29,517
Whittle down
171
00:07:29,586 --> 00:07:30,652
the suspects.
172
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,054
Find the killer.
173
00:07:36,293 --> 00:07:39,027
Did Gibbs just leave?
174
00:07:46,570 --> 00:07:48,336
Hey.
175
00:07:48,405 --> 00:07:50,538
What's going on?
176
00:07:50,607 --> 00:07:52,340
Taking a couple days off.
177
00:07:52,409 --> 00:07:53,675
Uh-huh.
178
00:07:53,743 --> 00:07:56,177
'Cause you do that so often
179
00:07:56,246 --> 00:07:59,214
when we're tracking
a service member's killer.
180
00:08:00,417 --> 00:08:01,983
It's sturgeon season.
181
00:08:02,052 --> 00:08:03,084
Wow.
182
00:08:03,153 --> 00:08:06,054
You are a horrible liar.
183
00:08:09,793 --> 00:08:11,826
Oh, you do not want
a staring contest.
184
00:08:11,895 --> 00:08:14,629
I will bury you.
185
00:08:22,305 --> 00:08:24,405
Fornell needs help.
186
00:08:26,643 --> 00:08:28,343
Emily left rehab.
187
00:08:29,779 --> 00:08:32,947
Aw, man, I'm really sorry
to hear that.
188
00:08:33,016 --> 00:08:35,283
Anything I can do to help?
189
00:08:35,352 --> 00:08:37,852
The profiles.
190
00:08:37,921 --> 00:08:40,688
Give McGee a lead.
He can handle the rest.
191
00:08:40,757 --> 00:08:42,190
Sure.
192
00:08:42,259 --> 00:08:44,192
Your turn.
193
00:08:44,261 --> 00:08:46,127
What's going on?
194
00:08:46,196 --> 00:08:49,030
Mm...
195
00:08:49,099 --> 00:08:50,698
I'd say...
196
00:08:50,767 --> 00:08:52,534
sturgeon season,
197
00:08:52,602 --> 00:08:54,636
but that lie's
already taken.
198
00:08:56,439 --> 00:08:58,573
I found out
who wants to get coffee.
199
00:08:58,642 --> 00:09:00,642
My daughter, Faith.
200
00:09:00,710 --> 00:09:03,411
That a bad thing?
No. It's a great thing.
201
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:05,547
But it's also terrifying.
202
00:09:05,615 --> 00:09:07,660
She made it really clear
when I gave her up for adoption
203
00:09:07,684 --> 00:09:10,418
that I was dead to her-- she
even changed her phone number
204
00:09:10,487 --> 00:09:11,953
so I couldn't call her.
205
00:09:12,022 --> 00:09:13,555
And now she wants to get coffee.
206
00:09:13,623 --> 00:09:15,723
Can't be that simple, can it?
Jack.
207
00:09:15,792 --> 00:09:17,625
There's only one way
to find out.
208
00:09:19,462 --> 00:09:21,763
Hey, Duck.
209
00:09:21,831 --> 00:09:23,809
Good to see you on this side
of the basement again.
210
00:09:23,833 --> 00:09:26,634
Yeah, I had to come and pay
my respects to Musician Warren.
211
00:09:26,703 --> 00:09:28,303
His improvisations
were...
212
00:09:28,371 --> 00:09:31,139
a joy to hear.
You knew him?
213
00:09:31,207 --> 00:09:32,507
From afar.
214
00:09:32,576 --> 00:09:35,810
I'm a dedicated fan of
the Anchor Ensemble.
215
00:09:35,879 --> 00:09:37,912
I've rarely missed a concert.
216
00:09:37,981 --> 00:09:40,415
Whereas I didn't even know
the Navy had a band.
217
00:09:40,483 --> 00:09:42,250
We have anything
that might give us a lead?
218
00:09:42,319 --> 00:09:43,985
Yes. Actually...
219
00:09:44,054 --> 00:09:46,588
Kasie identified the poison
220
00:09:46,656 --> 00:09:48,656
that killed our
victim-- it was...
221
00:09:48,725 --> 00:09:50,692
batrachotoxin.
222
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:52,293
And I can see
that Dr. Mallard
223
00:09:52,362 --> 00:09:54,028
is chomping at the bit,
224
00:09:54,097 --> 00:09:55,097
so I'm gonna
let him run
225
00:09:55,165 --> 00:09:56,531
with this one.
Batrachotoxin
226
00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,434
comes from the golden dart frog
227
00:09:59,502 --> 00:10:01,970
that resides in the
Colombian rain forest.
228
00:10:02,038 --> 00:10:05,873
When it feels threatened,
it-it secretes a toxic substance
229
00:10:05,942 --> 00:10:07,542
through its skin.
230
00:10:07,611 --> 00:10:08,843
Good to know.
231
00:10:08,912 --> 00:10:10,311
Got anything else?
232
00:10:10,380 --> 00:10:12,180
Yes. I think
I know why our victim
233
00:10:12,248 --> 00:10:14,382
took that running leap
off the bus.
234
00:10:14,451 --> 00:10:16,384
Dr. Mallard, would you...?
Warren was
235
00:10:16,453 --> 00:10:17,619
on an antidepressant.
236
00:10:17,687 --> 00:10:19,621
Dr. Palmer believes--
237
00:10:19,689 --> 00:10:21,055
and I concur--
238
00:10:21,124 --> 00:10:23,725
that while the poison
was killing him,
239
00:10:23,793 --> 00:10:26,227
it interacted
with this antidepressant
240
00:10:26,296 --> 00:10:29,397
and caused a serotonin crash.
241
00:10:29,466 --> 00:10:30,466
Poor guy--
242
00:10:30,533 --> 00:10:31,744
he was probably
half out of his mind
243
00:10:31,768 --> 00:10:33,167
when he jumped.
244
00:10:33,236 --> 00:10:35,470
As for how the poison
was administered...
245
00:10:35,538 --> 00:10:36,871
Native cultures
246
00:10:36,940 --> 00:10:38,640
have long used batrachotoxin
247
00:10:38,708 --> 00:10:40,308
on their poison arrows.
248
00:10:40,377 --> 00:10:42,143
Yes, but our victim here
is arrowless.
249
00:10:42,212 --> 00:10:43,511
That's because
250
00:10:43,580 --> 00:10:46,347
he was killed by...
Oh.
251
00:10:46,416 --> 00:10:47,849
I thought Gibbs
was down here.
252
00:10:47,917 --> 00:10:50,151
No, he, uh, left.
253
00:10:50,220 --> 00:10:52,420
Left what?
The building.
254
00:10:52,489 --> 00:10:53,921
I've got point.
255
00:10:53,990 --> 00:10:56,891
Gibbs doesn't leave.
256
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:58,326
Is this because of...?
Ziva?
257
00:10:58,395 --> 00:10:59,327
No, no.
258
00:10:59,396 --> 00:11:00,396
Look, officially,
259
00:11:00,463 --> 00:11:02,163
I don't know
why Gibbs left, okay?
260
00:11:02,232 --> 00:11:03,398
But unofficially,
261
00:11:03,466 --> 00:11:04,766
I heard that he's got a friend
262
00:11:04,834 --> 00:11:06,501
who might need help.
263
00:11:06,569 --> 00:11:08,603
Well, that really
narrows it down, McGee.
264
00:11:08,672 --> 00:11:10,738
The man only has one friend.
265
00:11:10,807 --> 00:11:14,108
Oh, dear, don't tell me it's
Fornell's daughter again.
266
00:11:14,177 --> 00:11:15,710
Look, if we want to help,
267
00:11:15,779 --> 00:11:17,612
we help by doing our jobs.
268
00:11:17,681 --> 00:11:19,881
Starting with you, Kasie.
Poison-- what do you got?
269
00:11:19,949 --> 00:11:22,350
Somebody spiked
his clarinet reed.
270
00:11:22,419 --> 00:11:24,730
And going by the decomp rate,
they actually could've done it
271
00:11:24,754 --> 00:11:26,854
a few hours
before he was killed.
272
00:11:26,923 --> 00:11:28,567
So, it wasn't necessarily
someone on the bus.
273
00:11:28,591 --> 00:11:30,391
Could be anyone.
Well...
274
00:11:30,460 --> 00:11:32,694
anyone who had access
to his clarinet.
275
00:11:34,597 --> 00:11:36,898
Did you know
276
00:11:36,966 --> 00:11:38,366
"Anchors Aweigh" was written
277
00:11:38,435 --> 00:11:41,436
for an Army/Navy
football game in 1906?
278
00:11:41,504 --> 00:11:43,137
No, I didn't.
279
00:11:43,206 --> 00:11:45,540
I'm kind of liking
this new musical Torres.
280
00:11:45,608 --> 00:11:48,142
Yeah, who knew nerd stuff
could be so relaxing?
281
00:11:48,211 --> 00:11:51,546
Just don't expect me to start
eating fish sticks.
282
00:11:51,614 --> 00:11:53,114
McGee has issues.
283
00:11:53,183 --> 00:11:54,482
Has there
been any news?
284
00:11:54,551 --> 00:11:55,822
No, uh, not yet.
285
00:11:55,823 --> 00:11:57,114
We still have
a few questions for you.
286
00:11:57,115 --> 00:11:59,921
Well, hopefully, we have answers.
Anything we can do to help.
287
00:11:59,989 --> 00:12:01,923
Who had access
to the band's equipment?
288
00:12:01,991 --> 00:12:03,925
Aside from me, everyone.
I mean, we keep it
289
00:12:03,993 --> 00:12:05,438
all locked up when we travel,
but everyone
290
00:12:05,462 --> 00:12:07,061
in the band
has a key to the lockers.
291
00:12:07,130 --> 00:12:08,830
We trust each other
with our instruments.
292
00:12:08,898 --> 00:12:11,332
And speaking of instruments,
when can I pick them up?
293
00:12:11,401 --> 00:12:13,768
We have a concert
Friday night and
294
00:12:13,837 --> 00:12:15,236
a cappella really
isn't our thing.
295
00:12:15,305 --> 00:12:17,138
But John would want
the show to go on.
296
00:12:17,207 --> 00:12:19,140
We're dedicating
the performance to him.
297
00:12:19,209 --> 00:12:20,619
Our forensic tech
is processing the instruments
298
00:12:20,643 --> 00:12:22,443
as fast as she can.
She just needs
299
00:12:22,512 --> 00:12:24,104
to make sure there's
no poison anywhere else.
300
00:12:24,105 --> 00:12:26,506
In fact, we're gonna
have to take the rest
301
00:12:26,574 --> 00:12:28,207
of the equipment,
just to be safe.
302
00:12:28,276 --> 00:12:30,576
Poison?
Someone laced John's reed
303
00:12:30,645 --> 00:12:33,713
with a fast-acting poison.
304
00:12:33,781 --> 00:12:36,282
Mm, no, they didn't.
305
00:12:36,351 --> 00:12:37,761
We understand this is
hard to process, but...
306
00:12:37,785 --> 00:12:41,187
No, I mean that's
not John's reed.
307
00:12:41,256 --> 00:12:43,389
That reed's a 3.5.
308
00:12:43,458 --> 00:12:44,690
John uses a two.
309
00:12:44,759 --> 00:12:46,626
I mean used.
310
00:12:46,694 --> 00:12:49,228
Oh, yeah, of course.
Can you translate?
311
00:12:49,297 --> 00:12:51,097
John was
a jazz player.
312
00:12:51,165 --> 00:12:54,467
He liked a softer reed
for the lower range.
313
00:12:54,536 --> 00:12:57,303
There's only one
person in the band
314
00:12:57,372 --> 00:12:58,771
who uses that kind of reed.
315
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,107
And who would that be?
316
00:13:02,377 --> 00:13:04,277
Hannah.
317
00:13:05,613 --> 00:13:06,546
NCIS.
318
00:13:06,614 --> 00:13:08,548
Hannah McClain, open up.
319
00:13:11,686 --> 00:13:13,119
Federal agents.
320
00:13:13,187 --> 00:13:15,154
Well, she's
definitely home,
321
00:13:15,223 --> 00:13:17,123
because we saw
movement in the window.
322
00:13:17,191 --> 00:13:18,658
Should I kick it in?
323
00:13:18,726 --> 00:13:20,059
Wh... Really?
324
00:13:20,128 --> 00:13:22,328
I thought you were Mr. Calm,
Cool and Musical now.
325
00:13:22,397 --> 00:13:23,763
Oh, I'm calm and cool.
326
00:13:23,831 --> 00:13:25,932
But it's been six months
since I've kicked in a door.
327
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:27,800
And there's a murder suspect
on the other side
328
00:13:27,835 --> 00:13:29,468
and we have a warrant.
Don't you think
329
00:13:29,537 --> 00:13:31,404
Gibbs would want us
to give her another minute?
330
00:13:32,740 --> 00:13:34,073
NCIS!
331
00:13:34,142 --> 00:13:35,808
We're coming in!
332
00:13:39,514 --> 00:13:40,580
Okay, you were right.
333
00:13:40,648 --> 00:13:42,281
We should've
given her a minute.
334
00:13:42,350 --> 00:13:43,350
Mm-hmm.
335
00:13:47,488 --> 00:13:49,689
What the hell is going on here?
336
00:13:49,757 --> 00:13:51,457
NCIS.
Yeah, I remember.
337
00:13:51,526 --> 00:13:53,059
What are you doing
in my apartment?
338
00:13:53,127 --> 00:13:54,127
We have a warrant.
339
00:13:54,195 --> 00:13:55,861
Good for you.
A warrant for what?
340
00:13:55,930 --> 00:13:57,597
Poison.
Excuse me?
341
00:13:57,665 --> 00:13:58,665
Specifically...
342
00:13:58,700 --> 00:14:00,499
the poison found on this.
343
00:14:00,568 --> 00:14:01,767
Well, what is that?
344
00:14:01,836 --> 00:14:04,437
You don't recognize it?
345
00:14:04,505 --> 00:14:06,772
It's a clarinet reed.
The same kind I use.
346
00:14:06,841 --> 00:14:08,218
See where we're going with this?
Uh, no.
347
00:14:08,242 --> 00:14:10,176
Maybe you should
use smaller words.
348
00:14:10,244 --> 00:14:11,544
Your friend didn't kill himself.
349
00:14:11,613 --> 00:14:14,780
He was poisoned
with a poison-coated reed.
350
00:14:14,849 --> 00:14:17,717
Which your conductor said
belonged to you.
351
00:14:17,785 --> 00:14:19,852
Is "you" a small-enough
word for you?
352
00:14:19,921 --> 00:14:21,320
You think I...
353
00:14:21,389 --> 00:14:23,022
Killed your bandmate?
354
00:14:23,091 --> 00:14:24,223
Yep.
355
00:14:24,292 --> 00:14:25,491
No.
356
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:27,126
There has got to be
a mistake here.
357
00:14:27,195 --> 00:14:28,728
Yo, dawg.
358
00:14:31,132 --> 00:14:32,832
You do this, bro?
359
00:14:32,900 --> 00:14:34,834
E-6!
360
00:14:34,902 --> 00:14:37,203
You can cover it.
What? Cover it?
361
00:14:37,271 --> 00:14:39,972
Our landlord is gonna be
so pissed off about this.
362
00:14:40,041 --> 00:14:41,407
No, screw the landlord.
363
00:14:41,476 --> 00:14:43,676
These lunatics
think that I killed John
364
00:14:43,745 --> 00:14:45,244
with a poison reed.
365
00:14:45,313 --> 00:14:46,957
You wouldn't happen to
know anything about that?
366
00:14:46,981 --> 00:14:47,913
Dawg?
367
00:14:47,982 --> 00:14:49,649
Yeah. Yeah, I do.
368
00:14:49,717 --> 00:14:51,350
I gave John that reed.
369
00:14:51,419 --> 00:14:52,859
Uh, he broke
his last one on the bus,
370
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:54,598
so I tossed him one of yours
while you were
371
00:14:54,622 --> 00:14:55,866
in the back flirting
with that drummer.
372
00:14:55,890 --> 00:14:57,923
I had no idea
there was poison on it.
373
00:14:57,992 --> 00:14:59,592
I was not flirting...
374
00:14:59,661 --> 00:15:01,994
Wait a minute.
375
00:15:02,063 --> 00:15:04,330
You got that from my bag.
376
00:15:04,399 --> 00:15:05,665
But if
the poison
377
00:15:05,733 --> 00:15:08,100
was on my reed, that means...
378
00:15:08,169 --> 00:15:10,002
That means that...
379
00:15:10,071 --> 00:15:12,338
you were the real target.
380
00:15:22,867 --> 00:15:24,800
Why would someone
try to kill me?
381
00:15:24,869 --> 00:15:27,904
I'm, like, super
likable, right?
382
00:15:28,973 --> 00:15:30,106
Um...
I mean, uh, okay,
383
00:15:30,174 --> 00:15:31,340
I know I speak my mind.
384
00:15:31,409 --> 00:15:33,309
And that's not
everyone's thing,
385
00:15:33,378 --> 00:15:35,111
but tell me to shut up.
386
00:15:35,179 --> 00:15:36,512
Don't-don't try to kill me.
387
00:15:36,581 --> 00:15:37,892
I sense there was maybe
some tension between
388
00:15:37,916 --> 00:15:39,815
you and the rest of the band?
Yes.
389
00:15:39,884 --> 00:15:41,918
But that's normal when
someone joins an ensemble.
390
00:15:41,986 --> 00:15:43,686
And part of my new job
391
00:15:43,755 --> 00:15:45,855
was to handle the
booking schedule.
392
00:15:45,924 --> 00:15:47,356
And when I put
in that request
393
00:15:47,425 --> 00:15:49,659
to switch our touring area
to Europe,
394
00:15:49,727 --> 00:15:52,929
I mean, that made me
real popular, real fast.
395
00:15:52,997 --> 00:15:55,998
John was actually
the most excited.
396
00:15:56,067 --> 00:15:57,333
He'd never been.
397
00:15:57,402 --> 00:15:59,869
And he never will.
398
00:15:59,938 --> 00:16:02,171
He's dead because of me.
399
00:16:03,875 --> 00:16:05,368
If he just hadn't
have used my reed...
400
00:16:05,369 --> 00:16:08,544
No, John is dead because
someone poisoned him.
401
00:16:08,613 --> 00:16:11,113
Now, I want you to think
real hard here.
402
00:16:11,182 --> 00:16:13,449
Is there anyone that
ever acted suspicious
403
00:16:13,518 --> 00:16:16,052
in or around the band?
404
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:17,720
Oh, you know,
I never thought of it
405
00:16:17,789 --> 00:16:19,655
because we always just
used to laugh about it,
406
00:16:19,724 --> 00:16:21,357
but the band does have this...
407
00:16:21,426 --> 00:16:24,160
this weird-as-hell
superfan guy.
408
00:16:24,228 --> 00:16:25,161
Weird how?
409
00:16:25,229 --> 00:16:26,629
Stalker weird.
410
00:16:26,698 --> 00:16:29,398
Yeah, he-he comes to every
performance in D.C.
411
00:16:29,467 --> 00:16:32,168
He's always poking around
backstage for autographs.
412
00:16:32,236 --> 00:16:35,137
He even comes to the airport
when we come back from tours.
413
00:16:35,206 --> 00:16:36,973
I tried being nice
to him, but...
414
00:16:37,041 --> 00:16:39,141
but now I-I keep
my distance.
415
00:16:39,210 --> 00:16:41,450
Did you see him at the airport
before you got on the bus?
416
00:16:41,479 --> 00:16:43,012
I-I don't know.
417
00:16:43,081 --> 00:16:44,213
It's hard to keep track.
418
00:16:44,282 --> 00:16:45,881
Well, does superfan have a name?
419
00:16:45,950 --> 00:16:49,251
Um, we call him
the Nugget Creeper.
420
00:16:50,254 --> 00:16:51,687
Because he-he wears this hat
421
00:16:51,756 --> 00:16:54,090
with a-a...
a fast-food logo on it.
422
00:16:54,158 --> 00:16:56,993
Can you help one of our agents
do a composite?
423
00:16:57,061 --> 00:16:59,595
Yeah.
424
00:16:59,664 --> 00:17:01,998
Sorry, we don't have
any tables.
425
00:17:02,066 --> 00:17:03,666
One should open up soon.
426
00:17:03,735 --> 00:17:05,601
Thanks very much.
Mm-hmm.
427
00:17:12,844 --> 00:17:14,710
Excuse me, ma'am?
428
00:17:14,779 --> 00:17:16,345
You wouldn't happen
to be finishing up
429
00:17:16,414 --> 00:17:17,880
your coffee anytime soon,
would you?
430
00:17:17,949 --> 00:17:20,449
I've just a few pages
left in my chapter.
431
00:17:20,518 --> 00:17:21,951
Oh, good, good.
432
00:17:22,020 --> 00:17:23,519
Oh...
433
00:17:23,588 --> 00:17:26,789
I don't mean "good"
like I want you to leave.
434
00:17:26,858 --> 00:17:28,257
But good there'll be
an empty seat.
435
00:17:28,326 --> 00:17:29,725
My daughter's coming.
436
00:17:29,794 --> 00:17:31,961
Oh... that's lovely.
437
00:17:32,030 --> 00:17:34,563
Mm... well, she's my...
438
00:17:34,632 --> 00:17:36,932
biological daughter.
439
00:17:37,001 --> 00:17:38,968
And it's
a big moment for us.
440
00:17:39,037 --> 00:17:41,370
Last time we talked,
441
00:17:41,439 --> 00:17:43,039
she didn't
want to have
442
00:17:43,107 --> 00:17:44,107
anything to do with me.
443
00:17:44,175 --> 00:17:46,709
So, you can imagine my surprise
444
00:17:46,778 --> 00:17:48,577
when she asked me here.
445
00:17:48,646 --> 00:17:50,046
Oh...
446
00:17:50,114 --> 00:17:52,615
Such a bumpy road.
Oh, my.
447
00:17:52,683 --> 00:17:55,384
So when she walks in today,
I, uh...
448
00:17:55,453 --> 00:17:57,319
I want her to feel
449
00:17:57,388 --> 00:17:58,988
welcome.
450
00:17:59,057 --> 00:18:01,424
To know that I'm holding
a place for her.
451
00:18:01,492 --> 00:18:03,492
She's... she's really
struggling
452
00:18:03,561 --> 00:18:05,661
with, uh, feelings
of abandonment,
453
00:18:05,730 --> 00:18:07,430
which only seem right.
454
00:18:07,498 --> 00:18:09,498
And I'm sure she thinks
that I gave her up
455
00:18:09,567 --> 00:18:11,111
because I didn't love her,
but the truth is
456
00:18:11,135 --> 00:18:12,968
I gave her up
because I did love her.
457
00:18:13,037 --> 00:18:14,804
Ah...
458
00:18:14,872 --> 00:18:16,806
I'm so sorry.
459
00:18:16,874 --> 00:18:19,275
I'm really sorry.
460
00:18:19,343 --> 00:18:22,678
You know, there is
a lot of research
461
00:18:22,747 --> 00:18:24,513
in the psychological canon
462
00:18:24,582 --> 00:18:26,015
about how it's easier
463
00:18:26,084 --> 00:18:28,584
to open up to a stranger
than a friend.
464
00:18:28,653 --> 00:18:32,154
I think I'll finish
my chapter at home.
465
00:18:35,660 --> 00:18:37,827
Bye, now.
466
00:18:51,442 --> 00:18:52,442
Wow.
467
00:18:52,510 --> 00:18:53,976
Wow, you see our guy?
468
00:18:54,045 --> 00:18:56,879
Who knew people waited
this long for autographs?
469
00:18:56,948 --> 00:18:58,314
And they say jazz is dead.
470
00:18:58,382 --> 00:18:59,682
Find anything on your end?
471
00:18:59,750 --> 00:19:01,050
No.
472
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:02,885
And I scrubbed through
three other angles
473
00:19:02,954 --> 00:19:05,221
from four different
concert dates last night.
474
00:19:05,289 --> 00:19:07,156
Plus, my wire crimper broke
475
00:19:07,225 --> 00:19:09,024
so I got nothing done
with my smart speaker.
476
00:19:09,093 --> 00:19:11,494
Ooh, at least I know what I'm
getting you for Christmas now.
477
00:19:11,562 --> 00:19:12,995
You know,
for a creepy stalker guy,
478
00:19:13,064 --> 00:19:14,462
this guy doesn't really
do a lot of stalking.
479
00:19:14,463 --> 00:19:17,833
I'm actually not mad if it takes him
a while to show up.
480
00:19:17,902 --> 00:19:21,470
I have 2,500 pounds
of band equipment
481
00:19:21,539 --> 00:19:22,805
to swab and process.
482
00:19:22,874 --> 00:19:24,840
And it is boring.
483
00:19:24,909 --> 00:19:26,075
This
484
00:19:26,144 --> 00:19:27,510
is way more fun.
485
00:19:27,578 --> 00:19:29,545
So much human drama.
486
00:19:29,614 --> 00:19:31,380
That is some serious
angry hand waving.
487
00:19:31,449 --> 00:19:32,715
You know what,
488
00:19:32,783 --> 00:19:34,728
if they're not wearing
a fast food hat, I don't care.
489
00:19:34,752 --> 00:19:36,852
Oh, if you don't turn
that frown upside down,
490
00:19:36,921 --> 00:19:38,487
I am swapping you out
for Torres.
491
00:19:38,556 --> 00:19:40,156
He's all kinds
of giddy on this case.
492
00:19:40,224 --> 00:19:41,468
Yeah, well,
he doesn't have kids.
493
00:19:41,492 --> 00:19:43,092
No, but he's going
to have a piccolo.
494
00:19:43,161 --> 00:19:44,827
I helped him
order one last night.
495
00:19:44,896 --> 00:19:47,163
Yeah, wait till he realizes
how much practicing that's
496
00:19:47,231 --> 00:19:49,532
gonna cut into
his gym time.
497
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:51,680
Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a second,
hold it right there.
498
00:19:52,670 --> 00:19:54,937
Punch in.
499
00:19:55,006 --> 00:19:56,809
Ned's Nuggets--
that's our creeper.
500
00:19:56,810 --> 00:19:59,175
Wow, good sketch, Bishop.
501
00:19:59,243 --> 00:20:03,045
Facial recognition,
here I come.
502
00:20:03,114 --> 00:20:04,713
Andrew Hopper, age 50.
503
00:20:04,782 --> 00:20:06,782
Had several prior run-ins
with the law.
504
00:20:06,851 --> 00:20:08,851
He worked at a place
called Ned's Nuggets
505
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:10,886
in Ivy City-- I've
actually been there.
506
00:20:10,955 --> 00:20:12,054
Nuggets are legit.
507
00:20:12,123 --> 00:20:14,290
Hmm.
Put your fish sticks to shame.
508
00:20:14,358 --> 00:20:16,358
Hey, nothing puts
my fish sticks to shame.
509
00:20:16,427 --> 00:20:18,861
Okay, boys. Grown-up time.
510
00:20:18,930 --> 00:20:20,729
Starting with:
I'm not sure this is our guy.
511
00:20:20,798 --> 00:20:23,065
Superfan, yes.
Killer stalker?
512
00:20:23,134 --> 00:20:25,901
I don't know.
Six arrests in the last five years.
513
00:20:25,970 --> 00:20:27,436
Always lurking
around the band,
514
00:20:27,505 --> 00:20:29,138
probably on the night
in question.
515
00:20:29,207 --> 00:20:30,739
I mean, what's not to like?
Mm,
516
00:20:30,808 --> 00:20:32,575
his priors are minor
drug possession,
517
00:20:32,643 --> 00:20:34,710
probation violation,
rinse, repeat.
518
00:20:34,779 --> 00:20:37,213
You really think
this guy turned violent?
519
00:20:37,281 --> 00:20:38,781
Well, let's
ask the pro.
520
00:20:38,849 --> 00:20:40,416
Oh, sorry I'm late, guys.
521
00:20:40,484 --> 00:20:41,762
Jack, hey, we could
use some help.
522
00:20:41,786 --> 00:20:43,219
We've got a video...
523
00:20:43,287 --> 00:20:45,454
Just send it up.
I'll take a look when I can.
524
00:20:47,658 --> 00:20:49,491
I mean, is it me
or was she walking
525
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:52,494
with a great deal of bad juju?
Not just you.
526
00:20:52,563 --> 00:20:54,007
No, she's been acting
really squirrelly ever since
527
00:20:54,031 --> 00:20:55,431
she got that mystery text.
Well,
528
00:20:55,499 --> 00:20:56,939
if she needs to talk to us,
she knows
529
00:20:56,968 --> 00:20:58,212
where to find us.
In the meantime,
530
00:20:58,236 --> 00:20:59,568
Gibbs could check in
at any moment
531
00:20:59,637 --> 00:21:00,970
and we still
don't have a killer.
532
00:21:01,038 --> 00:21:02,071
Maybe we do.
533
00:21:02,139 --> 00:21:03,806
Well, nugget champ,
534
00:21:03,874 --> 00:21:06,108
why don't you, uh,
take Bishop and go find out?
535
00:21:06,177 --> 00:21:06,761
What are you doing?
536
00:21:06,785 --> 00:21:08,578
I am gonna borrow
Gibbs' Leatherman.
537
00:21:08,579 --> 00:21:11,413
I'm gonna crimp some cables
and read up on our suspect.
538
00:21:11,482 --> 00:21:14,250
Are you out of your mind?
539
00:21:14,318 --> 00:21:15,651
For a guy making
a smart speaker,
540
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:17,486
this is a real dumb move.
541
00:21:17,555 --> 00:21:19,255
Calm down. It's fine.
Gibbs would be happy
542
00:21:19,323 --> 00:21:21,257
- to let me borrow it, okay?
- Uh, no.
543
00:21:21,325 --> 00:21:23,425
Not even close.
544
00:21:23,494 --> 00:21:25,127
That's strange.
545
00:21:25,196 --> 00:21:26,528
Gibbs left his cell phone.
546
00:21:26,597 --> 00:21:28,264
Maybe he didn't want
to be bothered.
547
00:21:30,534 --> 00:21:32,368
And his wallet and badge?
548
00:21:32,436 --> 00:21:35,304
Oh. You guys get the feeling
549
00:21:35,373 --> 00:21:37,506
that Gibbs isn't telling us
something?
550
00:21:41,178 --> 00:21:42,945
Leaving his cell phone
551
00:21:43,014 --> 00:21:47,016
I get, but his wallet and badge?
552
00:21:47,084 --> 00:21:49,852
I have a funny feeling this has
Nada to do with Emily Fornell.
553
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:51,287
What if Gibbs needs our help?
554
00:21:51,355 --> 00:21:53,622
Well, we've been
down this road before.
555
00:21:53,691 --> 00:21:55,958
If he needs it,
556
00:21:56,027 --> 00:21:58,060
he'll ask.
557
00:21:58,129 --> 00:22:00,162
Okay.
558
00:22:00,231 --> 00:22:03,732
And maybe he really is helping
Fornell and just left his
559
00:22:03,801 --> 00:22:06,869
money, phone and badge,
because...
560
00:22:06,937 --> 00:22:10,673
Because his pants were...
too tight?
561
00:22:10,741 --> 00:22:11,874
Mm-hmm.
562
00:22:11,942 --> 00:22:13,542
Two o'clock.
563
00:22:17,048 --> 00:22:19,415
Hey. Federal agents.
564
00:22:19,483 --> 00:22:20,923
We'd like to ask you
a few questions.
565
00:22:20,985 --> 00:22:22,885
NCIS! Freeze!
566
00:22:24,121 --> 00:22:25,921
You going somewhere, Andy?
567
00:22:25,990 --> 00:22:27,056
Yeah. Home.
568
00:22:27,124 --> 00:22:28,824
You need zip ties
569
00:22:28,893 --> 00:22:30,559
and a hood to make nuggets?
570
00:22:30,628 --> 00:22:31,628
Let me go!
571
00:22:34,565 --> 00:22:36,899
What we got?
572
00:22:36,967 --> 00:22:38,334
It's a nice collection.
573
00:22:38,402 --> 00:22:40,035
That's private. Stop.
574
00:22:40,104 --> 00:22:42,438
Andrew Hopper, you're under
arrest for the murder
575
00:22:42,506 --> 00:22:45,841
of Musician First Class
John Warren and attempted murder
576
00:22:45,910 --> 00:22:48,344
- of Musician First Class Hannah McClain.
- Idiots!
577
00:22:48,412 --> 00:22:50,012
You're ruining everything.
Ruining what--
578
00:22:50,081 --> 00:22:51,380
you kidnapping Hannah?
579
00:22:51,449 --> 00:22:53,515
Or chopping her
into nugget pieces?
580
00:22:53,584 --> 00:22:55,417
No. You've got it
all wrong.
581
00:22:55,486 --> 00:22:56,763
Says the guy
with the zip ties and the hood.
582
00:22:56,787 --> 00:22:59,021
Pretty comfortable
with attempted murder.
583
00:22:59,090 --> 00:23:00,723
No, you have to listen to me.
584
00:23:00,791 --> 00:23:02,224
I'm not trying to kill Hannah.
585
00:23:02,293 --> 00:23:03,759
I'm trying to protect her.
586
00:23:14,364 --> 00:23:16,565
Well, this guy
is clearly crazy.
587
00:23:16,633 --> 00:23:19,401
But he's a crazy guy
with an alibi.
588
00:23:19,470 --> 00:23:20,802
I thought Hannah said
she saw him
589
00:23:20,871 --> 00:23:22,237
at the airport
before the bus ride.
590
00:23:22,306 --> 00:23:23,638
Yeah, she said
she maybe saw him.
591
00:23:23,707 --> 00:23:25,073
Turns out,
he was working
592
00:23:25,142 --> 00:23:26,908
a double shift
when Warren was poisoned.
593
00:23:26,977 --> 00:23:28,577
He may be a stalker, but...
594
00:23:28,645 --> 00:23:29,978
he's not our killer.
595
00:23:30,047 --> 00:23:31,646
Said he was trying
to protect her.
596
00:23:31,715 --> 00:23:33,415
- Wonder what he meant.
- Looks like
597
00:23:33,484 --> 00:23:35,150
somebody had big plans.
598
00:23:35,219 --> 00:23:37,619
I already told you. I wasn't
going to hurt Hannah.
599
00:23:37,688 --> 00:23:40,756
Right. You were... you were,
what again-- protecting her?
600
00:23:40,824 --> 00:23:43,258
You're mocking me,
and I don't talk to mockers.
601
00:23:43,327 --> 00:23:45,460
Not about something
this important.
602
00:23:45,529 --> 00:23:48,363
Okay, let's try
this again.
603
00:23:49,633 --> 00:23:51,600
Why were you stalking
the Anchor Ensemble?
604
00:23:51,668 --> 00:23:53,435
I'm not a stalker.
605
00:23:53,504 --> 00:23:55,737
I'm an Anchorbird.
A what?
606
00:23:55,806 --> 00:23:57,139
An Anchorbird.
607
00:23:57,207 --> 00:23:59,274
Someone who follows
the Anchor Ensemble?
608
00:23:59,343 --> 00:24:00,909
I used to be a Deadhead
back in the day.
609
00:24:00,978 --> 00:24:02,344
You've heard of that, right?
Yes.
610
00:24:02,412 --> 00:24:04,412
I have heard of the Grateful Dead.
Then I moved on.
611
00:24:04,481 --> 00:24:05,814
Became a Juggalo.
612
00:24:05,883 --> 00:24:07,349
Do you get me now?
Sure.
613
00:24:07,417 --> 00:24:09,918
Insane Clown Posse,
614
00:24:09,987 --> 00:24:12,954
Naval ceremonial band.
615
00:24:13,023 --> 00:24:15,090
I totally see the similarity.
616
00:24:15,159 --> 00:24:17,159
My tastes have matured, okay?
617
00:24:18,395 --> 00:24:22,030
So... why were you
protecting Hannah?
618
00:24:22,933 --> 00:24:25,834
From what?
619
00:24:25,903 --> 00:24:28,103
Look, we have an airtight case
for stalking.
620
00:24:28,172 --> 00:24:30,138
If you go to prison,
it'll be for a long time,
621
00:24:30,207 --> 00:24:31,840
and you won't be able
to protect anybody.
622
00:24:31,909 --> 00:24:33,542
If you let us help you,
623
00:24:33,610 --> 00:24:35,577
we can help you protect Hannah.
624
00:24:38,115 --> 00:24:40,215
The Anchor Ensemble--
625
00:24:40,284 --> 00:24:42,484
it isn't just an ordinary band.
626
00:24:42,553 --> 00:24:43,622
Go on.
627
00:24:43,646 --> 00:24:45,288
I've overheard some
things hanging out
628
00:24:45,289 --> 00:24:48,056
at the backstage doors,
trying to get autographs.
629
00:24:48,125 --> 00:24:50,058
Some of the members--
630
00:24:50,127 --> 00:24:52,360
they're into
some pretty freaky stuff.
631
00:24:52,429 --> 00:24:54,296
Freaky like what?
I don't know
632
00:24:54,364 --> 00:24:56,464
much about it,
but I know they meet in secret.
633
00:24:56,533 --> 00:24:59,201
Like Skull and Bones secret.
And do what?
634
00:24:59,269 --> 00:25:01,903
Freaky Skull and Bones stuff.
How am I supposed to know?
635
00:25:01,972 --> 00:25:03,405
All I know for
sure is that
636
00:25:03,473 --> 00:25:04,840
the last three band members
637
00:25:04,908 --> 00:25:06,408
to be recruited
into this thing--
638
00:25:06,476 --> 00:25:08,076
they disappeared. Poof.
639
00:25:08,145 --> 00:25:09,978
I'm not the one you
should be talking to.
640
00:25:10,047 --> 00:25:12,247
You should be talking
to the conductor.
641
00:25:12,316 --> 00:25:14,549
I'm pretty sure
he's running the whole thing.
642
00:25:14,618 --> 00:25:16,184
Well, he would be.
643
00:25:16,253 --> 00:25:17,885
Because he's the conductor.
Right?
644
00:25:17,886 --> 00:25:19,888
I'm telling you,
there's a trail of bodies.
645
00:25:19,957 --> 00:25:22,924
You want proof?
Go ahead and check. You'll see.
646
00:25:22,993 --> 00:25:24,392
Agent McGee, please
647
00:25:24,461 --> 00:25:26,361
don't tell me
you really believe this guy--
648
00:25:26,430 --> 00:25:30,165
that there's a "trail of bodies"
from a "freaky secret cult"?
649
00:25:30,234 --> 00:25:32,400
I know. It-it sounded
crazy to us, too.
650
00:25:32,469 --> 00:25:33,949
But then we started digging.
No amount
651
00:25:34,004 --> 00:25:35,281
of digging is gonna
make this not sound crazy.
652
00:25:35,305 --> 00:25:36,671
It turns out
653
00:25:36,740 --> 00:25:38,740
that three band members
have recently disappeared.
654
00:25:38,809 --> 00:25:40,742
Now, we're still going
down the list of names
655
00:25:40,811 --> 00:25:44,613
that Hopper gave us, but one was
active duty, and is now U.A.
656
00:25:44,681 --> 00:25:46,248
Another was abruptly
657
00:25:46,316 --> 00:25:48,783
discharged and has gone
completely off the grid.
658
00:25:48,852 --> 00:25:50,852
And a third has died.
659
00:25:50,921 --> 00:25:52,254
How?
660
00:25:52,322 --> 00:25:53,889
Jimmy's waiting on
the medical records.
661
00:25:53,957 --> 00:25:55,268
But you got to admit...
"Trail of bodies"
662
00:25:55,292 --> 00:25:56,691
doesn't seem so crazy anymore.
663
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:58,560
Have you spoken
to the conductor?
664
00:25:58,629 --> 00:26:01,062
Uh, we can't find him.
His wife thinks
665
00:26:01,131 --> 00:26:03,632
he's on a trip with the
band, which is a lie.
666
00:26:03,700 --> 00:26:04,352
You pinged his cell?
667
00:26:04,376 --> 00:26:07,072
Yeah. Battery's been taken out
of his phone, most likely.
668
00:26:07,337 --> 00:26:09,804
Hasn't connected to a cell
tower since yesterday.
669
00:26:09,873 --> 00:26:12,073
He's running.
Looks like it.
670
00:26:12,142 --> 00:26:13,378
Any idea
how Hannah fits into all this?
671
00:26:13,402 --> 00:26:14,477
Oh, no clue.
672
00:26:14,478 --> 00:26:17,145
We need to talk to her again,
because our stalker seems
673
00:26:17,214 --> 00:26:20,315
to think that she's the next
"recruit," whatever that means.
674
00:26:20,384 --> 00:26:22,417
Well, get on it.
SECNAV wants to make sure
675
00:26:22,486 --> 00:26:24,753
that the band is safe
before their concert on Friday.
676
00:26:24,821 --> 00:26:26,988
They're playing
Admiral Lance's retirement.
677
00:26:27,057 --> 00:26:28,757
And speaking of concerts,
678
00:26:28,825 --> 00:26:30,625
the equipment manager
is all up in my grill
679
00:26:30,694 --> 00:26:32,227
about the instruments.
680
00:26:32,296 --> 00:26:34,229
Apparently, the band's
not big on a cappella,
681
00:26:34,298 --> 00:26:35,630
or so I keep hearing.
682
00:26:35,699 --> 00:26:38,300
I'm done processing it all.
Can I return it?
683
00:26:38,368 --> 00:26:39,019
Sure.
684
00:26:39,043 --> 00:26:40,303
All right,
let's get back to work.
685
00:26:40,304 --> 00:26:41,836
Let's get this solved
686
00:26:41,905 --> 00:26:43,571
before anybody else gets hurt.
687
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:45,407
I like a cappella.
688
00:26:45,475 --> 00:26:49,177
Agent McGee, did Gibbs tell you
where he was going?
689
00:26:49,246 --> 00:26:50,845
Uh... not directly.
690
00:26:50,914 --> 00:26:52,747
Why? What have...
what have you heard?
691
00:26:52,816 --> 00:26:55,951
The official story is
that he's taking a few days off.
692
00:26:56,019 --> 00:26:58,520
Sturgeon season.
693
00:26:59,556 --> 00:27:01,289
Okay.
694
00:27:01,358 --> 00:27:03,258
Anything else you'd like to add?
695
00:27:03,327 --> 00:27:06,194
Uh... no?
696
00:27:06,263 --> 00:27:08,697
Okay.
697
00:27:09,733 --> 00:27:11,733
Okay.
698
00:27:14,938 --> 00:27:17,672
Hey, Ducky.
699
00:27:17,741 --> 00:27:18,985
I was hoping you could
help me with something.
700
00:27:19,009 --> 00:27:21,776
Of course. How can I be of service?
701
00:27:21,845 --> 00:27:25,680
Well, I was doing the
profiles of the band members
702
00:27:25,749 --> 00:27:28,516
to see who might be
capable of murder, but now,
703
00:27:28,585 --> 00:27:31,686
since the secret society
is thrown on the table,
704
00:27:31,755 --> 00:27:33,888
I'm thinking it's
more your territory.
705
00:27:33,957 --> 00:27:35,724
Now don't tell me
you've read my...
706
00:27:35,792 --> 00:27:37,826
Your case study
on the Molly Maguires,
707
00:27:37,894 --> 00:27:39,728
everyone's favorite
19th century
708
00:27:39,830 --> 00:27:42,030
secret society
with a body count./

00:27:42,099 --> 00:27:44,866
It's an extremely rich case,
but, uh, sit down.
710
00:27:44,935 --> 00:27:46,568
Ah.
711
00:27:46,636 --> 00:27:49,504
Yes, while I'm flattered that
you're one of three people alive
712
00:27:49,573 --> 00:27:52,741
who's read my paper,
I suspect that's not
713
00:27:52,809 --> 00:27:55,543
the only reason you're here.
714
00:27:55,612 --> 00:27:58,213
And why would you suspect that?
715
00:27:58,281 --> 00:28:00,382
That's the third time
that you've walked by my door,
716
00:28:00,450 --> 00:28:01,916
you're clutching that envelope
717
00:28:01,985 --> 00:28:05,220
as if your life depends
upon it, and I gather
718
00:28:05,288 --> 00:28:08,323
that you're deciding whether
or not to ask me something,
719
00:28:08,392 --> 00:28:11,993
since Gibbs is not here
to lend an ear.
720
00:28:12,062 --> 00:28:14,529
Hmm. So this is what
it's like to be profiled.
721
00:28:15,999 --> 00:28:17,565
It's a little,
uh, disconcerting
722
00:28:17,634 --> 00:28:19,034
when the shoe's
on the other foot.
723
00:28:19,102 --> 00:28:22,203
Yes.
724
00:28:22,272 --> 00:28:24,205
There is something only
725
00:28:24,274 --> 00:28:25,874
a few people know about me.
726
00:28:25,942 --> 00:28:27,409
I have a daughter.
727
00:28:27,477 --> 00:28:29,177
I gave her up for adoption
728
00:28:29,246 --> 00:28:31,446
28 years ago.
729
00:28:32,916 --> 00:28:35,383
And you don't look
at all surprised.
730
00:28:35,452 --> 00:28:40,922
The maternal instinct
is not so easy to hide.
731
00:28:40,991 --> 00:28:43,758
She asked me
to meet her yesterday.
732
00:28:43,827 --> 00:28:47,095
And, uh, honestly, I don't know
what to make of it.
733
00:28:47,164 --> 00:28:48,329
What happened?
734
00:28:49,366 --> 00:28:51,866
She walked in,
735
00:28:51,935 --> 00:28:55,603
made 30 seconds of small talk,
736
00:28:55,672 --> 00:28:58,907
and then... she asked me
to fill these out.
737
00:28:58,975 --> 00:29:00,909
When I...
738
00:29:00,977 --> 00:29:02,944
asked her if everything
was okay,
739
00:29:03,013 --> 00:29:05,947
she said she didn't want
to talk about it,
740
00:29:06,016 --> 00:29:09,484
and then she just got up
and walked out again.
741
00:29:09,553 --> 00:29:12,087
Medical history forms.
742
00:29:12,155 --> 00:29:14,089
And quite extensive, too.
743
00:29:14,157 --> 00:29:16,057
Please tell me
I'm wrong about why
744
00:29:16,126 --> 00:29:18,426
she would need me
to fill these forms out.
745
00:29:18,495 --> 00:29:20,395
Well, generally,
she would be dealing
746
00:29:20,464 --> 00:29:23,598
with a serious medical condition
that required full
747
00:29:23,667 --> 00:29:26,501
family history.
Exactly, right? I knew it. She's sick.
748
00:29:26,570 --> 00:29:28,736
Well, let's not get ahead
of ourselves.
749
00:29:28,805 --> 00:29:31,606
There are other reasons
why she might need these.
750
00:29:31,675 --> 00:29:34,843
If she is sick, there must be
something more I can do
751
00:29:34,911 --> 00:29:37,612
than just put "yes" or "no"
on-on a bunch of forms.
752
00:29:37,681 --> 00:29:39,147
Jack,
753
00:29:39,216 --> 00:29:41,631
your daughter has told you
what she needs.
754
00:29:41,632 --> 00:29:43,985
Yes, but there must be
something more.
755
00:29:44,054 --> 00:29:45,420
Like, I could be a donor.
756
00:29:45,489 --> 00:29:46,921
She's told you
757
00:29:46,990 --> 00:29:49,090
what she needs, so right now,
758
00:29:49,159 --> 00:29:51,326
there is only one thing
you must do.
759
00:29:58,602 --> 00:30:00,635
Will you help me, please?
760
00:30:00,704 --> 00:30:03,705
It will be my pleasure.
761
00:30:05,575 --> 00:30:08,309
I-I'm sorry.
What again? What?
762
00:30:08,378 --> 00:30:12,180
S-Some kind of secret
killer band society?
763
00:30:12,249 --> 00:30:14,649
Yeah, it sounds a lot worse
when you say it out loud.
764
00:30:14,718 --> 00:30:16,718
And-and you heard this
from the Nugget Creeper?
765
00:30:16,786 --> 00:30:19,554
That really sounds bad
when you say it out loud.
766
00:30:19,623 --> 00:30:22,223
The problem is, he's not the one
who tried to poison you.
767
00:30:22,292 --> 00:30:23,691
He has an airtight alibi.
768
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:25,860
Well, I don't know
what to tell you guys.
769
00:30:25,929 --> 00:30:28,830
If I'm supposed to be some
sort of sacrificial lamb
770
00:30:28,899 --> 00:30:32,167
for a-a crazy band cult,
no one told me.
771
00:30:32,235 --> 00:30:34,247
When was the last time
you talked to your conductor?
772
00:30:34,271 --> 00:30:36,004
Uh, he called last night.
773
00:30:36,072 --> 00:30:37,805
From his cell?
It sounded like a cell.
774
00:30:37,874 --> 00:30:40,108
I-I actually didn't recognize
the number.
775
00:30:42,879 --> 00:30:46,681
Wait. You don't think that he's
involved in all of this, right?
776
00:30:46,750 --> 00:30:48,249
What did he say?
Uh,
777
00:30:48,318 --> 00:30:50,485
he wanted to tell me
that the European tour
778
00:30:50,554 --> 00:30:53,421
was going through,
and that he was proud of me
779
00:30:53,490 --> 00:30:54,767
for everything
that I'd accomplished
780
00:30:54,791 --> 00:30:56,724
in this first year
with the band.
781
00:30:56,793 --> 00:30:58,726
And, uh...
782
00:30:58,795 --> 00:31:01,229
And... what?
783
00:31:02,566 --> 00:31:04,666
He had something special
planned.
784
00:31:07,237 --> 00:31:09,571
But he-he wouldn't tell me
what it was.
785
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:13,421
That sounds extremely bad
now that I say it out loud.
786
00:31:13,422 --> 00:31:14,887
Do you have the number
he called from?
787
00:31:14,911 --> 00:31:16,911
Yeah, I'm sure it's
still in my cell phone.
788
00:31:18,114 --> 00:31:19,447
Thanks.
789
00:31:19,516 --> 00:31:21,549
Great. Thanks, Kasie.
790
00:31:21,618 --> 00:31:23,017
Okay.
791
00:31:23,086 --> 00:31:24,752
Kasie's tracing
the number.
792
00:31:24,821 --> 00:31:26,588
So the conductor has
a second cell.
793
00:31:26,656 --> 00:31:28,256
Maybe Gibbs does, too.
Yesterday,
794
00:31:28,325 --> 00:31:30,725
I would have said
"no way," but now...
795
00:31:30,794 --> 00:31:32,527
I have no idea.
796
00:31:32,596 --> 00:31:35,363
I mean, maybe he keeps it next
to his second wallet and badge.
797
00:31:35,432 --> 00:31:36,731
Yeah.
798
00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:38,399
What's he doing, McGee?
799
00:31:38,468 --> 00:31:40,134
No idea.
800
00:31:40,203 --> 00:31:41,736
But if Gibbs is up to something,
801
00:31:41,805 --> 00:31:43,416
we got to trust
that he's got a good rea...
802
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:44,872
Hey, McGee.
Yeah.
803
00:31:44,941 --> 00:31:46,781
I'll text you a location.
Great. Thanks, Kasie.
804
00:31:46,843 --> 00:31:48,309
Okay, at least we have
805
00:31:48,378 --> 00:31:50,378
a location for the conductor.
If only Gibbs
806
00:31:50,447 --> 00:31:51,779
were this easy to track.
807
00:31:51,848 --> 00:31:53,314
Yeah.
808
00:31:57,954 --> 00:31:58,886
Where you been?
809
00:31:58,955 --> 00:32:00,421
And where you going?
810
00:32:00,490 --> 00:32:02,890
And why are you dressed
like a cat burglar?
811
00:32:02,959 --> 00:32:03,959
Or is that
812
00:32:04,027 --> 00:32:05,493
your murder outfit?
Murder?
813
00:32:05,562 --> 00:32:07,161
We know about your little group.
814
00:32:07,230 --> 00:32:09,397
Well, whatever
you think you know,
815
00:32:09,466 --> 00:32:10,798
you're wrong.
Says the guy
816
00:32:10,867 --> 00:32:12,979
who's lying to his wife
and has two dead Navy musicians
817
00:32:13,003 --> 00:32:14,736
on his watch.
818
00:32:14,804 --> 00:32:15,937
What's the plan
for Hannah?
819
00:32:16,006 --> 00:32:17,805
You're making
a terrible mistake.
820
00:32:17,874 --> 00:32:18,874
Okay, let's hear it.
821
00:32:20,810 --> 00:32:23,745
It's actually
more believable if you...
822
00:32:23,813 --> 00:32:25,680
see for yourselves.
823
00:32:33,023 --> 00:32:35,156
What is this?
824
00:32:35,225 --> 00:32:38,192
We aren't killing anyone.
825
00:32:38,261 --> 00:32:40,595
We're simply honoring our own.
826
00:32:40,664 --> 00:32:42,930
All these musicians
have been killed
827
00:32:42,999 --> 00:32:44,932
serving their country.
828
00:32:45,001 --> 00:32:47,435
And today, we're here for John.
829
00:33:30,421 --> 00:33:33,021
So your "freaky secret cult"
830
00:33:33,022 --> 00:33:34,523
wasn't a cult at all?
831
00:33:34,524 --> 00:33:37,258
No. Apparently,
it's a tradition.
832
00:33:37,327 --> 00:33:39,928
Once a year, select members and alumni
from the Anchor Ensemble
833
00:33:39,996 --> 00:33:43,932
get together to honor Navy
musicians who have passed away.
834
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:45,500
And Hannah
didn't know about it
835
00:33:45,569 --> 00:33:47,001
because she
hadn't been invited yet.
836
00:33:47,070 --> 00:33:49,104
Our band's
first conductor started it
837
00:33:49,172 --> 00:33:51,506
when an entire Navy band
was killed at Pearl Harbor.
838
00:33:51,575 --> 00:33:53,341
It's been going on
ever since.
839
00:33:53,410 --> 00:33:54,709
Almost 80 years.
840
00:33:54,778 --> 00:33:56,611
Think you
would've liked it-- it was...
841
00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:57,680
it was really touching.
842
00:33:57,714 --> 00:33:59,547
Touching enough
that you've forgotten
843
00:33:59,616 --> 00:34:01,349
about the three people
who've disappeared?
844
00:34:01,418 --> 00:34:03,685
No. We, uh,
we've actually finished
845
00:34:03,754 --> 00:34:05,186
running those leads down.
846
00:34:05,255 --> 00:34:07,122
Yeah, the musician
who went U.A.
847
00:34:07,190 --> 00:34:08,790
was actually caring
for a sick parent.
848
00:34:08,859 --> 00:34:10,737
And the one who
was discharged did not go
849
00:34:10,761 --> 00:34:12,127
off the grid.
850
00:34:12,195 --> 00:34:14,229
They had faked
their citizenship papers
851
00:34:14,297 --> 00:34:15,830
and, uh, were deported.
852
00:34:15,899 --> 00:34:17,532
And the one who died?
Jimmy just finished
853
00:34:17,601 --> 00:34:18,867
reviewing the autopsy report.
854
00:34:18,935 --> 00:34:20,568
He died
of a congenital aneurysm.
855
00:34:20,637 --> 00:34:22,303
So nothing suspicious
about that.
856
00:34:22,372 --> 00:34:23,683
Not unless you're
a crazy stalker
857
00:34:23,707 --> 00:34:25,006
conspiracy theorist.
858
00:34:25,075 --> 00:34:26,641
So we've just burned
an entire day
859
00:34:26,710 --> 00:34:28,243
chasing the rantings
of a lunatic.
860
00:34:28,311 --> 00:34:29,811
What about
the missing conductor?
861
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:30,745
He cheats on his wife.
862
00:34:30,814 --> 00:34:31,814
Uses another phone
863
00:34:31,882 --> 00:34:33,042
when he's
with his girlfriend.
864
00:34:33,083 --> 00:34:34,749
Three points
for honoring the dead,
865
00:34:34,818 --> 00:34:36,684
not so much
for honoring his vows.
866
00:34:36,753 --> 00:34:38,319
All right, then,
so where are we now?
867
00:34:38,388 --> 00:34:39,599
We're back to square one.
868
00:34:39,623 --> 00:34:41,489
Who tried to kill
Hannah McClain, and why?
869
00:34:41,558 --> 00:34:43,091
Agent McGee,
do I need to remind you
870
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:45,426
that SECNAV wants
this case closed yesterday?
871
00:34:45,495 --> 00:34:47,095
If we don't button
this up soon,
872
00:34:47,164 --> 00:34:48,244
we're gonna have a problem.
873
00:34:48,298 --> 00:34:49,397
We already have one.
874
00:34:49,466 --> 00:34:51,566
A hundred-pound problem.
875
00:34:54,004 --> 00:34:55,937
So, I played trombone
in middle school,
876
00:34:56,006 --> 00:34:58,673
and after this past week,
I decide to pick it up again.
877
00:34:58,742 --> 00:35:00,675
I do love that slide.
878
00:35:00,744 --> 00:35:02,184
Well, between you
and Nick's piccolo,
879
00:35:02,245 --> 00:35:04,179
you can start your own band.
Problem is,
880
00:35:04,247 --> 00:35:05,713
I didn't know
which trombone to get,
881
00:35:05,782 --> 00:35:07,715
so I decided to just order
the same trombone
882
00:35:07,784 --> 00:35:09,284
I had processed
from the crime scene.
883
00:35:09,352 --> 00:35:10,552
Okay, is this
going somewhere?
884
00:35:10,620 --> 00:35:11,419
It is.
885
00:35:11,488 --> 00:35:13,521
Because that's
when I noticed
886
00:35:13,590 --> 00:35:15,423
the crime scene
trombone case was
887
00:35:15,492 --> 00:35:17,625
ten pounds heavier
than the one I just bought.
888
00:35:17,694 --> 00:35:19,405
You must have bought
a different model.
889
00:35:19,406 --> 00:35:22,297
Nope. I triple-checked,
and the crime scene trombone
890
00:35:22,365 --> 00:35:24,966
wasn't the only thing
that was heavier.
891
00:35:25,035 --> 00:35:26,701
I looked up
the manufacturer's specs
892
00:35:26,770 --> 00:35:28,369
for all the instruments
893
00:35:28,438 --> 00:35:30,471
and cases,
and lo and behold,
894
00:35:30,540 --> 00:35:32,540
they were all heavier.
895
00:35:33,610 --> 00:35:35,276
A hundred pounds heavier?
896
00:35:35,345 --> 00:35:37,612
Mm-hmm. And the only way
that could happen
897
00:35:37,681 --> 00:35:40,582
is if something else was
in those cases.
898
00:35:40,650 --> 00:35:42,428
Well, something must
have been hidden pretty well,
899
00:35:42,452 --> 00:35:43,651
because we didn't find it.
900
00:35:43,720 --> 00:35:46,554
And who hides things really well
901
00:35:46,623 --> 00:35:50,258
in cases that travel routinely
across international borders?
902
00:35:50,327 --> 00:35:51,960
Smugglers!
Ding, ding, ding!
903
00:35:52,028 --> 00:35:53,328
Jack, hey.
You got something?
904
00:35:53,396 --> 00:35:56,064
I do. And I apologize
for being distracted.
905
00:35:56,132 --> 00:35:58,600
But, um, when Kasie told me
about the weight discrepancies,
906
00:35:58,668 --> 00:36:01,469
I took another look
at the band profiles
907
00:36:01,538 --> 00:36:03,972
to see if anyone flagged
as a possible smuggler.
908
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:06,241
Say yes--
make me feel even more clever
909
00:36:06,309 --> 00:36:07,775
than I already do.
910
00:36:07,844 --> 00:36:10,111
Yes. Yes. Someone flagged.
911
00:36:10,180 --> 00:36:12,347
Someone who has two cousins
in jail for smuggling
912
00:36:12,415 --> 00:36:15,316
and who is in a perfect position
to sneak contraband
913
00:36:15,385 --> 00:36:18,586
in and out
of those instrument cases.
914
00:36:23,393 --> 00:36:25,760
Careful. Don't want
to throw your back out.
915
00:36:25,829 --> 00:36:27,039
Equipment is heavy, huh?
916
00:36:27,063 --> 00:36:28,329
That's the job.
917
00:36:28,398 --> 00:36:29,597
I got it.
918
00:36:29,666 --> 00:36:31,866
Just like you got
John Warren?
919
00:36:32,903 --> 00:36:35,169
Hey. That was an accident.
920
00:36:35,238 --> 00:36:37,372
I didn't have time to swerve.
921
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:39,000
You did have time to
poison him, though.
922
00:36:40,677 --> 00:36:42,610
Oh, wait, no, that was
an accident, too.
923
00:36:42,679 --> 00:36:45,113
'Cause your real target
was Hannah.
924
00:36:45,181 --> 00:36:46,547
Remember her?
925
00:36:46,616 --> 00:36:49,717
Why would I want
to kill Hannah?
926
00:36:49,786 --> 00:36:53,154
Because she was pushing the band
to go to Europe for a year.
927
00:36:53,223 --> 00:36:55,223
Which would have destroyed
928
00:36:55,292 --> 00:36:58,626
your smuggling operation
in South America.
929
00:36:58,695 --> 00:37:00,161
Smuggling operation?
930
00:37:00,230 --> 00:37:01,829
What am I smuggling?
931
00:37:01,898 --> 00:37:04,065
Let's take
a look, amigo.
932
00:37:04,134 --> 00:37:07,535
French horn should weigh
about 20 pounds?
933
00:37:07,604 --> 00:37:09,103
Let's see.
934
00:37:11,942 --> 00:37:13,341
It's about 26.
935
00:37:13,410 --> 00:37:15,643
Oh, no, it's about 27.
936
00:37:15,712 --> 00:37:18,713
Let's see if there's
a prize inside.
937
00:37:20,984 --> 00:37:22,417
Huh.
938
00:37:28,491 --> 00:37:30,758
You know what I see?
939
00:37:30,827 --> 00:37:33,628
Egg on all your faces.
940
00:37:44,808 --> 00:37:46,240
You smell something, Nick?
941
00:37:47,911 --> 00:37:50,011
Yep.
942
00:37:52,615 --> 00:37:54,682
The catalytic converter
943
00:37:54,751 --> 00:37:57,618
on my dad's '76 Mustang.
944
00:38:04,094 --> 00:38:06,894
Oh, I'd know that smell
anywhere, baby-- that's rhodium.
945
00:38:06,963 --> 00:38:09,063
It's the chief component
in a catalytic converter.
946
00:38:09,132 --> 00:38:11,299
I love the confidence
with which he says something
947
00:38:11,368 --> 00:38:13,701
that makes absolutely
no sense to me.
948
00:38:13,770 --> 00:38:15,269
It's a precious metal
that's also used
949
00:38:15,338 --> 00:38:17,305
in nuclear reactors
and jewelry.
950
00:38:17,374 --> 00:38:19,547
Worth twice as much
as its weight in gold.
951
00:38:19,548 --> 00:38:21,787
So, the equipment manager
was swapping out the linings
952
00:38:21,811 --> 00:38:23,811
of the cases
with rhodium plating?
953
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:25,758
Yep. He wasn't smuggling
something in the cases.
954
00:38:25,782 --> 00:38:28,282
- It was the cases.
- In a single trip
955
00:38:28,351 --> 00:38:30,418
to South America,
the band could carry home
956
00:38:30,487 --> 00:38:32,896
over a million dollars
of contraband.
957
00:38:32,923 --> 00:38:35,301
Yeah, so when Hannah McClain tried
to move the band to Europe,
958
00:38:35,325 --> 00:38:36,802
the equipment manager
had to do something.
959
00:38:36,826 --> 00:38:39,260
He reached out to his
criminal networks for poison.
960
00:38:39,329 --> 00:38:41,095
And the rest
is history.
961
00:38:41,164 --> 00:38:43,664
I guess Gibbs is gonna be pretty
happy when he gets back, huh?
962
00:38:43,733 --> 00:38:46,167
Yeah, he will be.
I'm just bummed
963
00:38:46,236 --> 00:38:48,736
I burned through all
my alone time solving this case.
964
00:38:48,805 --> 00:38:50,383
Come on, guys,
we're gonna be late.
965
00:38:50,407 --> 00:38:52,607
Time to stop jabbering.
966
00:38:52,675 --> 00:38:55,309
So kind of the band
to invite us.
967
00:39:06,523 --> 00:39:08,823
Hey, look. Gibbs is back.
968
00:39:08,892 --> 00:39:11,059
From where?
969
00:39:12,362 --> 00:39:14,429
Hey.
Hey.
970
00:39:14,497 --> 00:39:17,165
Did you catch any sturgeon?
971
00:39:17,233 --> 00:39:18,966
Drink any lattes?
972
00:39:19,035 --> 00:39:21,602
I did, but it didn't go
as I hoped.
973
00:39:21,671 --> 00:39:22,970
Yeah. I heard.
974
00:39:23,039 --> 00:39:25,673
Ducky filled me in.
975
00:39:26,709 --> 00:39:28,176
Faith could be sick,
976
00:39:28,244 --> 00:39:31,412
and-and I'm still
completely cut out.
977
00:39:32,849 --> 00:39:35,283
But she asked for
you to meet her.
978
00:39:35,351 --> 00:39:38,286
Because she needed information.
That's it.
979
00:39:39,355 --> 00:39:41,289
Could've done that
980
00:39:41,357 --> 00:39:42,924
over e-mail.
981
00:39:48,064 --> 00:39:49,730
Thank you.
982
00:39:53,436 --> 00:39:55,002
How's Emily?
983
00:39:55,071 --> 00:39:56,737
She's okay.
984
00:39:56,806 --> 00:39:58,506
For now.
985
00:39:58,575 --> 00:40:00,208
What happened?
986
00:40:04,814 --> 00:40:08,583
Ladies and gentlemen,
we're going to play a song
987
00:40:08,651 --> 00:40:10,351
that means a lot to us,
988
00:40:10,420 --> 00:40:13,387
an ode to someone we lost.
989
