Bravo-Delta-Four UAV test.

In flight. Video up.
Radio comm channels clear.

Commencing field exercise
Bravo-Delta-Four.

00:00:14,097 --> 00:00:16,598
Copy that.
Bravo-Delta-Four is a go.
5
00:00:17,968 --> 00:00:20,368
Missile activated.
6
00:00:20,437 --> 00:00:22,404
Okay, people. Hold steady.
7
00:00:22,472 --> 00:00:24,672
And remember this moment,
because the maiden test run
8
00:00:24,741 --> 00:00:27,942
of a beast like this
combat UAV missile...
9
00:00:29,046 --> 00:00:30,979
...is something
to tell the grandkids.

00:00:31,048 --> 00:00:33,648
Approaching target.
80 meters and closing.
11
00:00:36,653 --> 00:00:38,053
Begin weapons engagement.
12
00:00:39,122 --> 00:00:40,555
70.
13
00:00:40,624 --> 00:00:42,257
60...
14
00:00:42,325 --> 00:00:45,160
Staff Sergeant Murphy
is clear to fire.
15
00:00:45,228 --> 00:00:46,728
Commence firing.
16
00:00:47,931 --> 00:00:51,032
50... 40...
17
00:00:51,101 --> 00:00:52,033
All systems ready.
18
00:00:52,102 --> 00:00:53,601
Target locking sequence
initiated.
19
00:00:54,838 --> 00:00:56,538
30 meters out.
20
00:00:56,606 --> 00:00:58,740
Sir? Sir.
21
00:00:58,809 --> 00:01:00,942
Come here.
22
00:01:02,412 --> 00:01:03,545
We have a problem.
23
00:01:03,613 --> 00:01:05,013
Murphy, stand down.
24
00:01:06,416 --> 00:01:08,349
Target locked.
Murphy, hold!
25
00:01:08,418 --> 00:01:09,751
Murphy, hold your fire!
26
00:01:09,820 --> 00:01:11,052
Stand down!
27
00:01:11,121 --> 00:01:12,420
Missile away.
28
00:01:14,191 --> 00:01:15,924
Target strike confirmed.
29
00:01:30,207 --> 00:01:31,806

Dr. Mallard retired.

You're just realizing this now?
44
00:02:26,997 --> 00:02:29,097
And ever since he became
the official NCIS historian,
45
00:02:29,166 --> 00:02:31,266
I have been doing
the work of two people.
46
00:02:31,334 --> 00:02:33,601
Yeah. And you do it all
with a smile on your face.
47
00:02:33,670 --> 00:02:35,014
Oh, that? Yeah, yeah.
I've been faking that
48
00:02:35,038 --> 00:02:36,304
for the last four months.
49
00:02:36,373 --> 00:02:38,317
Yeah, I have such a backlog
of work to catch up on,
50
00:02:38,341 --> 00:02:39,807
I didn't even
go home last night.
51
00:02:39,876 --> 00:02:42,777
You guys, I got 14
minutes of sleep.
52
00:02:42,846 --> 00:02:44,479
On an autopsy table.
53
00:02:44,548 --> 00:02:46,681
I hope there wasn't
a body on it.
54
00:02:46,750 --> 00:02:48,483
Jimmy, you think
maybe it's time
55
00:02:48,552 --> 00:02:50,818
you get your, uh, own assistant?
56
00:02:50,887 --> 00:02:52,520
Yes. I m-- I mean,
I'm-I'm trying to.
57
00:02:52,589 --> 00:02:54,522
I-I interviewed people
last week,
58
00:02:54,591 --> 00:02:56,124
but, uh, it's impossible to tell
59
00:02:56,193 --> 00:02:57,603
whether or not someone's
gonna measure up
60
00:02:57,627 --> 00:03:00,461
just by talking to them.
61
00:03:00,530 --> 00:03:02,864
Dr. Mallard instilled
in me a very high
62
00:03:02,933 --> 00:03:06,668
set of standards, and these,
t-this is just a-a mess
63
00:03:06,736 --> 00:03:08,303
of résumés.
64
00:03:08,371 --> 00:03:09,637
They're just...
65
00:03:09,706 --> 00:03:11,239
They're just
talking heads.
66
00:03:11,308 --> 00:03:13,875
Did I mention I got 14 minutes
of sleep last night?
67
00:03:13,944 --> 00:03:15,677
Twice.
68
00:03:15,745 --> 00:03:17,890
Look, Jimmy, maybe you should
just have the applicants come in
69
00:03:17,914 --> 00:03:19,881
and work with you
on a trial basis.
70
00:03:19,983 --> 00:03:22,517
Yeah, you know, you can
tell a lot about a person
71
00:03:22,586 --> 00:03:23,851
when you see them
in action.
72
00:03:23,920 --> 00:03:25,198
It's like
my abuela said,
73
00:03:25,222 --> 00:03:27,188
"You never know
the measure of a man
74
00:03:27,257 --> 00:03:28,856
until he's covered in blood."
75
00:03:28,925 --> 00:03:30,758
Doesn't abuela mean
"grandmother"?
76
00:03:30,827 --> 00:03:32,560
- She was a butcher.
- Grab your gear.
77
00:03:32,629 --> 00:03:34,095
Got a dead body in Quantico.
78
00:03:35,098 --> 00:03:36,098
Sort of.
79
00:03:36,132 --> 00:03:37,765
Sort of a body?
80
00:03:43,073 --> 00:03:45,073
Go. Gear. Let's go.
81
00:03:51,915 --> 00:03:54,849
I have logged seven
pieces of human remains so far.
82
00:03:54,918 --> 00:03:57,952
From what I can tell, they all
came from the same person.
83
00:03:58,021 --> 00:03:59,287
Whoever that might be.
84
00:03:59,356 --> 00:04:01,389
All right.
I got a hit over here.
85
00:04:02,993 --> 00:04:04,592
Victim is Daniel Backer.
86
00:04:04,661 --> 00:04:07,128
Retired gunnery sergeant.
Rules out accident.
87
00:04:07,197 --> 00:04:08,774
- How do we know that?
- A gunny would've known better
88
00:04:08,798 --> 00:04:11,799
than to just walk into an active
weapon range like that.
89
00:04:11,868 --> 00:04:13,268
Suicide, Jimmy?
90
00:04:13,336 --> 00:04:14,769
I don't think so.
91
00:04:14,838 --> 00:04:16,437
Uh, the force of the explosion
92
00:04:16,506 --> 00:04:17,972
clearly dismembered the body.
93
00:04:18,041 --> 00:04:20,808
But the hypoxic nature
of this tissue suggests
94
00:04:20,877 --> 00:04:23,089
that there was no blood flow at
the time of the missile strike.
95
00:04:23,113 --> 00:04:24,312
Which means...
96
00:04:24,381 --> 00:04:26,414
Backer was already dead
when the missile hit.
97
00:04:26,483 --> 00:04:27,882
For how long?
98
00:04:29,653 --> 00:04:32,453
Dead how? Palmer!
99
00:04:32,522 --> 00:04:36,057
Oh, uh, just--
I'm-I'm gonna have to get him--
100
00:04:36,126 --> 00:04:39,327
all of him-- back to autopsy.
101
00:04:39,396 --> 00:04:42,330
U-Uh, the post-mortem
lividity here suggests
102
00:04:42,399 --> 00:04:45,166
that the body was also moved
after he died.
103
00:04:45,235 --> 00:04:46,634
Which means...
104
00:04:46,703 --> 00:04:49,504
Someone put him here.
105
00:04:52,142 --> 00:04:54,575
So, I take it by your lack
of uniform, you're a civilian?
106
00:04:54,644 --> 00:04:56,611
That's right.
I-I work for a company
107
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:58,446
called LanWar Defense Systems.
108
00:04:58,515 --> 00:05:00,748
And that's their drone?
LanWar makes the weapons,
109
00:05:00,817 --> 00:05:02,617
the Marine Warfighting Lab
tests them.
110
00:05:02,686 --> 00:05:04,852
It's pretty small
for a combat drone.
111
00:05:04,921 --> 00:05:07,722
And extremely lightweight.
It's only six pounds,
112
00:05:07,791 --> 00:05:10,124
but its missiles
pack a hell of a punch.
113
00:05:10,193 --> 00:05:11,504
How much punch?
Imagine if you could
114
00:05:11,528 --> 00:05:12,960
stuff a Category 5 tornado
115
00:05:13,029 --> 00:05:15,363
into something the size
of a water bottle.
116
00:05:17,334 --> 00:05:19,567
Whoever was down there
didn't stand a chance.
117
00:05:19,636 --> 00:05:21,169
All right, thanks.
118
00:05:21,237 --> 00:05:24,706
So the victim was I.D.'d
as Daniel Backer.
119
00:05:27,110 --> 00:05:28,710
You knew him?
120
00:05:28,778 --> 00:05:31,179
Yeah. He's, um,
a retired gunnery sergeant.
121
00:05:31,247 --> 00:05:33,181
He-he works for us at LanWar.
122
00:05:33,249 --> 00:05:37,151
He helps us plan the demos that
we run for the Warfighting Lab.
123
00:05:37,220 --> 00:05:39,320
So you all knew him?
124
00:05:39,389 --> 00:05:41,789
Including the Marine who
piloted the drone today?
125
00:05:41,858 --> 00:05:43,691
Staff Sergeant
Diana Murphy. Yes.
126
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:45,727
You said she fired her missile
127
00:05:45,795 --> 00:05:48,129
despite your repeated orders
to stand down.
128
00:05:48,198 --> 00:05:50,898
Well, I-I don't know
what she was thinking.
129
00:05:50,967 --> 00:05:53,334
It's ironic that
it was Backer down there.
130
00:05:53,403 --> 00:05:54,535
Why would you say that?
131
00:05:54,604 --> 00:05:56,371
Well, they used to date.
132
00:05:56,439 --> 00:05:58,005
Yeah, we're gonna
need to talk to her.
133
00:05:58,074 --> 00:05:59,741
Of course.
134
00:05:59,809 --> 00:06:02,210
Look, I-I'm sure
she was just so focused,
135
00:06:02,278 --> 00:06:03,911
she didn't hear the order.
136
00:06:03,980 --> 00:06:06,147
I mean, I know
how that sounds, but...
137
00:06:06,216 --> 00:06:07,982
I left her in the
pilots' ready room.
138
00:06:08,051 --> 00:06:09,550
She was pretty distraught.
139
00:06:13,323 --> 00:06:14,956
She was just...
140
00:06:16,326 --> 00:06:18,059
Where did she go?
141
00:06:24,302 --> 00:06:27,937
Staff Sergeant Diana Murphy,
30 years old,
142
00:06:28,006 --> 00:06:30,273
served in the Marine Corps
for the last nine.
143
00:06:30,342 --> 00:06:33,042
She started out flying drone
missions in Afghanistan
144
00:06:33,111 --> 00:06:35,511
but now specializes in piloting
UAVs for the Warfighting Lab.
145
00:06:35,547 --> 00:06:37,614
Why is she running?
146
00:06:37,682 --> 00:06:39,160
Well, maybe because she killed
her ex-boyfriend,
147
00:06:39,184 --> 00:06:40,650
and blew up the evidence?
148
00:06:40,719 --> 00:06:43,086
BOLO's out.
Quantico MPs have been alerted.
149
00:06:43,154 --> 00:06:44,254
We'll find her.
150
00:06:44,322 --> 00:06:46,823
Service record.
151
00:06:46,892 --> 00:06:50,260
Competent, capable. Nothing
murdery at all, actually.
152
00:06:50,328 --> 00:06:53,296
Wait, did I mention that
she blew up her ex-boyfriend?
153
00:06:54,666 --> 00:06:58,067
Also known as retired
Gunnery Sergeant Daniel Backer.
154
00:06:58,136 --> 00:07:00,169
37, decorated,
well-liked.
155
00:07:00,238 --> 00:07:02,338
Described as
a "total Boy Scout."
156
00:07:02,407 --> 00:07:06,309
After Backer left the Marines,
uh, LanWar offered him a job.
157
00:07:06,378 --> 00:07:08,978
Which means he spent a lot of
time in the Warfighting Lab.
158
00:07:09,047 --> 00:07:10,947
We think that's
where he met Murphy.
159
00:07:11,016 --> 00:07:12,415
You get a cause of death yet?
160
00:07:12,484 --> 00:07:14,450
Uh, not yet.
No, Jimmy's taking longer
161
00:07:14,519 --> 00:07:16,085
than usual for some reason.
162
00:07:16,154 --> 00:07:18,087
McGee, take Torres to LanWar.
163
00:07:18,156 --> 00:07:19,567
See what else you can
find out about Backer.
164
00:07:19,591 --> 00:07:20,823
On it.
On it.
165
00:07:23,094 --> 00:07:25,495
Bishop.
Hmm?
166
00:07:26,998 --> 00:07:28,231
Find Murphy.
167
00:07:30,268 --> 00:07:31,501
On it.
168
00:07:34,673 --> 00:07:38,174
As your first test, we will
start by reassembling the body.
169
00:07:38,243 --> 00:07:40,677
Now, this is the
phalanges mediae.
170
00:07:40,745 --> 00:07:42,579
Uh...
171
00:07:44,583 --> 00:07:47,517
Based on the curvature
of this facet,
172
00:07:47,586 --> 00:07:50,987
I believe, of the left foot.
173
00:07:53,058 --> 00:07:54,824
Would you please turn that off?
174
00:07:58,697 --> 00:08:01,564
This work does require
a great deal of concentration.
175
00:08:03,301 --> 00:08:05,668
Uh, seriously. How do you do
anything with these gloves on?
176
00:08:05,737 --> 00:08:08,871
They're actually quite handy,
for work.
177
00:08:09,908 --> 00:08:11,541
Uh, would you mind
178
00:08:11,610 --> 00:08:13,209
getting me the
left patella?
179
00:08:14,646 --> 00:08:16,946
Pass.
180
00:08:17,949 --> 00:08:19,582
I have a thing about kneecaps.
181
00:08:19,651 --> 00:08:21,818
Okay. Right.
I'll get the patella.
182
00:08:21,886 --> 00:08:24,787
You orient the left
quadriceps femoris.
183
00:08:28,226 --> 00:08:29,325
His left.
184
00:08:29,394 --> 00:08:30,927
Not yours.
185
00:08:32,063 --> 00:08:33,830
Okay, there we go.
Yeah, now, just-just
186
00:08:33,898 --> 00:08:35,465
rotate it in until it fits...
187
00:08:37,135 --> 00:08:38,701
Look...
188
00:08:38,770 --> 00:08:39,936
Mm, gonna leave now.
189
00:08:40,005 --> 00:08:42,505
That's a great idea.
190
00:08:43,942 --> 00:08:45,208
Sorry about that, Gunny.
191
00:08:45,276 --> 00:08:47,276
That young lady had
a stellar résumé
192
00:08:47,345 --> 00:08:49,512
and absolutely no
place in the SAZ.
193
00:08:49,581 --> 00:08:53,082
That's the Sacred
Autopsy Zone.
194
00:08:53,151 --> 00:08:56,586
You didn't used to think of me
like that, did you?
195
00:08:56,655 --> 00:08:58,187
Cause of death.
196
00:08:58,256 --> 00:09:00,556
Right. As we suspected,
197
00:09:00,625 --> 00:09:02,558
Backer's C.O.D. was
not a drone strike,
198
00:09:02,627 --> 00:09:04,027
but rather a gunshot wound,
199
00:09:04,095 --> 00:09:06,195
confirming this was,
in fact, a murder.
200
00:09:06,264 --> 00:09:08,075
Entry was right here.
He was shot at point-blank range
201
00:09:08,099 --> 00:09:11,067
with what I can only assume
was a nine-millimeter bullet,
202
00:09:11,136 --> 00:09:12,902
which we cannot find.
203
00:09:12,971 --> 00:09:14,570
Lost in the blast.
Yeah.
204
00:09:14,639 --> 00:09:15,972
Any idea where
he was killed?
205
00:09:16,041 --> 00:09:18,241
I couldn't even begin
to tell you. Gibbs,
206
00:09:18,309 --> 00:09:20,710
any piece of evidence that
could've given me a clue was...
207
00:09:20,779 --> 00:09:22,979
Lost in the blast.
208
00:09:25,984 --> 00:09:28,151
Who has a thing with kneecaps?
209
00:09:30,722 --> 00:09:32,099
I'm sorry.
It was a shock to us all.
210
00:09:32,123 --> 00:09:33,322
You and Backer close?
211
00:09:33,391 --> 00:09:34,991
We hadn't worked together long,
212
00:09:35,060 --> 00:09:37,038
but he was one of those guys
you couldn't help but like.
213
00:09:37,062 --> 00:09:39,629
You notice anything
off with him lately?
214
00:09:39,698 --> 00:09:41,798
No. His work was
always top-notch.
215
00:09:41,866 --> 00:09:44,178
I mean, who better to show the
military how to use our weapons
216
00:09:44,202 --> 00:09:45,668
than a decorated Marine?
217
00:09:45,737 --> 00:09:48,104
What the hell was he doing
on a live firing range?
218
00:09:48,173 --> 00:09:49,272
He knew better.
219
00:09:49,340 --> 00:09:52,075
Actually, it wasn't your drone
that killed him.
220
00:09:52,143 --> 00:09:53,643
He was shot.
221
00:09:53,712 --> 00:09:55,278
What? How?
222
00:09:55,346 --> 00:09:56,791
That's what we're
here to investigate.
223
00:09:56,815 --> 00:09:58,581
Were you aware
of the relationship he had
224
00:09:58,650 --> 00:10:00,183
with Staff Sergeant Murphy?
225
00:10:00,251 --> 00:10:01,718
Not really.
226
00:10:03,588 --> 00:10:06,122
What I do know is they seemed
more off than on.
227
00:10:06,191 --> 00:10:07,857
What does that have
to do with anything?
228
00:10:07,926 --> 00:10:10,893
Their last breakup,
that seem amicable to you?
229
00:10:12,931 --> 00:10:14,530
Looks like you have
something to say.
230
00:10:14,599 --> 00:10:16,966
A couple of days ago,
Danny and Diana
231
00:10:17,035 --> 00:10:19,001
got into a fight in the lab.
232
00:10:19,070 --> 00:10:19,755
And?
233
00:10:19,779 --> 00:10:21,338
And I thought it was
gonna come to blows.
234
00:10:21,339 --> 00:10:22,772
I almost called the MPs.
235
00:10:22,841 --> 00:10:25,341
What was it about?
I don't know.
236
00:10:25,410 --> 00:10:27,810
You know where Diana is
right now?
237
00:10:27,879 --> 00:10:29,724
Look, she's a tough lady,
but I've never seen anything
238
00:10:29,748 --> 00:10:31,180
that would make
me think that...
239
00:10:33,051 --> 00:10:36,285
Everybody has off days.
Everybody has fights, right?
240
00:10:36,354 --> 00:10:37,354
Mm.
241
00:10:37,388 --> 00:10:38,721
That doesn't make her a killer.
242
00:10:38,790 --> 00:10:40,523
Right, totally,
so back to my question.
243
00:10:40,592 --> 00:10:42,558
Do you know where she is now?
244
00:10:42,627 --> 00:10:43,893
I do.
245
00:10:44,796 --> 00:10:47,330
MPs found her.
246
00:10:47,398 --> 00:10:48,664
Where?
247
00:10:48,733 --> 00:10:49,866
So, she ran back
248
00:10:49,934 --> 00:10:51,014
to her ex-boyfriend's place
249
00:10:51,069 --> 00:10:52,635
after she blew up his body?
250
00:10:52,704 --> 00:10:54,137
I'm sure you got some kind
251
00:10:54,205 --> 00:10:55,505
of psychological theory.
252
00:10:55,573 --> 00:10:57,106
If she's our killer,
maybe that's
253
00:10:57,175 --> 00:10:58,841
where Backer was
originally murdered.
254
00:10:58,910 --> 00:11:01,010
Some killers like to return
to the scene of the crime
255
00:11:01,079 --> 00:11:02,678
to revel in what they've done.
256
00:11:02,747 --> 00:11:06,115
Not much revelry going on
in there.
257
00:11:13,558 --> 00:11:15,057
One of your agents said it was
258
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,393
Danny out there in that
weapons field-- is that true?
259
00:11:17,462 --> 00:11:19,028
Is he dead?
260
00:11:19,097 --> 00:11:21,464
It's true.
261
00:11:21,533 --> 00:11:23,266
But maybe you already knew that.
262
00:11:23,334 --> 00:11:26,936
Staff Sergeant
Murphy,
263
00:11:27,005 --> 00:11:28,604
why did you leave
the crime scene?
264
00:11:33,578 --> 00:11:35,378
W-What?
265
00:11:35,446 --> 00:11:36,446
Why'd you run?
266
00:11:36,481 --> 00:11:38,214
I wasn't thinking straight.
267
00:11:38,283 --> 00:11:39,794
I'd just killed someone
with a missile.
268
00:11:39,818 --> 00:11:42,151
No, you didn't.
269
00:11:44,756 --> 00:11:47,924
Danny was already dead by
the time your missile hit him.
270
00:11:49,627 --> 00:11:50,760
He was shot.
271
00:11:50,829 --> 00:11:52,428
But I'm thinking
you already
272
00:11:52,497 --> 00:11:53,830
knew that, too,
didn't you?
273
00:11:55,433 --> 00:11:57,633
Diana?
274
00:11:58,770 --> 00:12:00,770
What, what is it?
275
00:12:00,839 --> 00:12:02,638
You didn't answer my question.
276
00:12:02,707 --> 00:12:03,773
Diana?
277
00:12:05,276 --> 00:12:06,609
Hey!
278
00:12:06,678 --> 00:12:08,255
Why did you run back to
Backer's apartment
279
00:12:08,279 --> 00:12:09,545
after the missile strike?
280
00:12:09,614 --> 00:12:11,080
For help-- he's the only
281
00:12:11,149 --> 00:12:13,115
person that I trust.
Or...
282
00:12:13,184 --> 00:12:15,251
you and he got into a bad fight.
283
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:16,419
You shot him.
284
00:12:16,487 --> 00:12:17,954
And you tried
to cover it up
285
00:12:18,022 --> 00:12:19,789
by dumping his body
286
00:12:19,858 --> 00:12:23,326
in a weapons range that you knew
was scheduled to be hit.
287
00:12:23,394 --> 00:12:25,094
When his body
was discovered,
288
00:12:25,163 --> 00:12:27,063
you raced back to
his apartment to
289
00:12:27,131 --> 00:12:29,283
cover any evidence
that was left behind.
290
00:12:29,284 --> 00:12:30,014
No.
291
00:12:30,015 --> 00:12:32,301
You know, there is something
off about her responses,
292
00:12:32,370 --> 00:12:34,470
but I can't quite
put my finger on it.
293
00:12:34,539 --> 00:12:36,139
Ingram ordered you
to stand down,
294
00:12:36,174 --> 00:12:37,673
so why did you fire
that missile?
295
00:12:37,742 --> 00:12:39,475
I didn't know anyone
was out there.
296
00:12:39,544 --> 00:12:41,978
You were ordered to hold
your fire three times.
297
00:12:43,915 --> 00:12:45,281
Why'd you disobey the order?
298
00:12:45,350 --> 00:12:46,415
W-What?
299
00:12:46,484 --> 00:12:48,517
Why did you disobey the order?
300
00:12:48,586 --> 00:12:49,586
I didn't kill Danny.
301
00:12:49,654 --> 00:12:50,654
I loved him.
302
00:12:50,722 --> 00:12:51,988
Semper fi, Marine!
303
00:12:58,196 --> 00:12:59,295
What'd I miss?
304
00:12:59,364 --> 00:13:01,497
Uh, just-just Gibbs
being Gibbs.
305
00:13:04,569 --> 00:13:05,701
Semper fi.
306
00:13:05,770 --> 00:13:08,037
Ooh-rah!
307
00:13:11,109 --> 00:13:13,009
She can't hear. She's deaf!
308
00:13:13,077 --> 00:13:15,878
Wait, can you still be
a Marine if you're deaf?
309
00:13:15,947 --> 00:13:18,047
No. No, you can't.
310
00:13:26,081 --> 00:13:28,244
All right, that concludes
the hearing test.
311
00:13:28,245 --> 00:13:30,646
You can, uh, take off
the headphones now.
312
00:13:30,715 --> 00:13:32,314
Ian?
313
00:13:32,383 --> 00:13:34,023
Would you get me
the test results, please?
314
00:13:34,051 --> 00:13:35,718
Hey, I was told this job
315
00:13:35,786 --> 00:13:37,553
was for an
assistant M.E.
316
00:13:37,622 --> 00:13:39,888
As in... dead bodies.
317
00:13:39,957 --> 00:13:41,657
My apologies for being alive.
318
00:13:41,726 --> 00:13:43,759
Yes, Ian, once in
a while, we are
319
00:13:43,828 --> 00:13:46,028
called upon to help
in other medical areas.
320
00:13:46,097 --> 00:13:47,630
So, would you, please?
321
00:13:49,433 --> 00:13:51,166
This is a waste of time.
322
00:13:51,235 --> 00:13:52,935
Danny's killer
is out there still.
323
00:13:53,004 --> 00:13:54,403
Or in here.
324
00:13:54,472 --> 00:13:56,739
Wait... "killer"?
325
00:13:56,807 --> 00:13:59,375
Does that mean you have
some dead bodies? Where?
326
00:13:59,443 --> 00:14:01,243
- How bad is it?
- Still waiting
327
00:14:01,312 --> 00:14:03,379
on the test results.
Ian, would you...?
328
00:14:03,447 --> 00:14:04,380
Yeah, I'm sorry.
329
00:14:04,448 --> 00:14:05,681
I never made a good gopher.
330
00:14:05,750 --> 00:14:06,915
Like I said before,
331
00:14:06,984 --> 00:14:09,084
cutting up dead bodies is...
332
00:14:09,153 --> 00:14:11,654
more my jam.
333
00:14:11,722 --> 00:14:13,288
You know,
the sound of a bone saw
334
00:14:13,357 --> 00:14:14,757
early in the morning,
first thing
335
00:14:14,825 --> 00:14:17,393
in a nice sterile room like this...
Okay. Yeah.
336
00:14:17,461 --> 00:14:19,928
I think I have all
the information I need.
337
00:14:19,997 --> 00:14:22,031
Uh, you go have a good day.
338
00:14:22,099 --> 00:14:23,365
I won't be in touch.
339
00:14:25,336 --> 00:14:28,404
I am so sorry about that.
340
00:14:28,472 --> 00:14:30,039
How bad is it?
341
00:14:30,107 --> 00:14:31,473
According to this test,
342
00:14:31,542 --> 00:14:34,443
you have lost almost
100% of your hearing.
343
00:14:34,512 --> 00:14:35,811
In both ears.
344
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:37,312
But you already knew that.
345
00:14:37,381 --> 00:14:40,149
I read that it
can get better.
346
00:14:40,217 --> 00:14:42,177
Unfortunately, not with
this type of hearing loss.
347
00:14:44,155 --> 00:14:46,199
Though I see you've gotten
quite good at reading lips.
348
00:14:46,223 --> 00:14:47,823
She had to.
349
00:14:47,892 --> 00:14:49,658
If she was gonna hide it
from her superiors.
350
00:14:49,727 --> 00:14:51,794
Or her ex-boyfriend--
you know, the one she blew up.
351
00:14:54,865 --> 00:14:56,899
Maybe he found out.
352
00:14:56,967 --> 00:14:59,568
He was gonna rat her
out to her C.O. and...
353
00:14:59,637 --> 00:15:00,669
she had to take him out.
354
00:15:00,738 --> 00:15:02,171
Or maybe he's the one that
355
00:15:02,239 --> 00:15:04,006
caused her hearing loss
in the first place.
356
00:15:04,075 --> 00:15:05,941
Making his murder
an act of revenge.
357
00:15:06,010 --> 00:15:08,844
I can read your lips
in the reflection.
358
00:15:08,913 --> 00:15:10,479
Okay, fine.
359
00:15:10,548 --> 00:15:12,581
Y-Your file here
says that you and Backer
360
00:15:12,650 --> 00:15:14,483
were involved
in some sort of accident
361
00:15:14,552 --> 00:15:16,285
a few months ago?
Does it?
362
00:15:16,353 --> 00:15:19,788
Some kind of a weapons test
that went sideways.
363
00:15:19,857 --> 00:15:21,857
I don't want to talk about it.
364
00:15:21,926 --> 00:15:23,258
Look...
365
00:15:23,327 --> 00:15:25,127
I get it, I do.
366
00:15:25,196 --> 00:15:27,463
But the file, it's quite vague.
367
00:15:27,531 --> 00:15:30,966
If you really are
innocent, just...
368
00:15:31,035 --> 00:15:33,268
And she's completely
ignoring me on purpose now.
369
00:15:36,006 --> 00:15:38,140
Diana?
370
00:15:38,209 --> 00:15:41,410
Did the accident cause you
to lose your hearing?
371
00:15:44,115 --> 00:15:46,815
The accident involved a
top secret weapons test,
372
00:15:46,884 --> 00:15:49,284
so the after-action report
had been heavily redacted.
373
00:15:49,353 --> 00:15:51,634
But we could read enough to know
that Backer was involved.
374
00:15:51,689 --> 00:15:53,155
Involved how?
375
00:15:53,224 --> 00:15:56,358
Looks like he was demoing
some kind of new weapon.
376
00:15:56,427 --> 00:15:58,307
Diana didn't report
any serious injuries,
377
00:15:58,362 --> 00:16:00,162
but according to Jimmy,
the timing works out.
378
00:16:00,231 --> 00:16:01,563
Which, yes, makes Backer
379
00:16:01,632 --> 00:16:03,465
look responsible
for her hearing loss.
380
00:16:03,534 --> 00:16:05,334
And ending her military career.
381
00:16:05,402 --> 00:16:07,136
- Hell of a motive.
- Problem is...
382
00:16:07,204 --> 00:16:08,204
no opportunity.
383
00:16:08,239 --> 00:16:09,239
We spoke to Diana's
384
00:16:09,306 --> 00:16:10,639
co-workers at the lab.
385
00:16:10,708 --> 00:16:12,119
They said that she was at work
386
00:16:12,143 --> 00:16:14,243
till 1:00 in the morning
the night Danny was killed.
387
00:16:14,311 --> 00:16:16,912
And according to our latest
time of death, that gives her
388
00:16:16,981 --> 00:16:18,147
an airtight alibi.
389
00:16:18,215 --> 00:16:20,048
Which makes her not our killer.
390
00:16:20,117 --> 00:16:21,350
Does not make her innocent.
391
00:16:21,418 --> 00:16:22,684
She's still hiding something.
392
00:16:22,753 --> 00:16:23,685
Find out what.
393
00:16:23,754 --> 00:16:25,287
Oh.
394
00:16:27,124 --> 00:16:28,824
Why am I here?
395
00:16:28,893 --> 00:16:30,159
You know I didn't kill Danny.
396
00:16:30,227 --> 00:16:32,072
Why aren't you out there
looking for the person who did?
397
00:16:32,096 --> 00:16:33,428
Oh, we are.
398
00:16:33,497 --> 00:16:35,931
Don't you worry
about that, okay?
399
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:37,933
But I want to hear more
about your accident.
400
00:16:38,002 --> 00:16:39,401
Why?
401
00:16:44,441 --> 00:16:46,441
Danny wanted to show me
a new weapon
402
00:16:46,510 --> 00:16:48,110
he was about to demo
for the lab.
403
00:16:48,179 --> 00:16:49,545
What-what was it exactly?
404
00:16:49,613 --> 00:16:52,347
A long-range rifle that uses
sound instead of bullets.
405
00:16:52,416 --> 00:16:53,515
It disables the enemy
406
00:16:53,584 --> 00:16:55,083
by heating up the cells
in their body.
407
00:16:55,152 --> 00:16:56,785
Wow.
408
00:16:56,854 --> 00:16:58,954
Never had anything like that
when I was in the Army.
409
00:16:59,023 --> 00:17:00,422
Danny said it'd be
a game changer.
410
00:17:00,491 --> 00:17:01,935
He said that we could
use it to fight wars
411
00:17:01,959 --> 00:17:03,225
without killing anyone.
412
00:17:03,294 --> 00:17:05,194
During the demo,
Danny activated the weapon
413
00:17:05,262 --> 00:17:07,529
before I had
my protective earmuffs on.
414
00:17:08,799 --> 00:17:11,533
Right away, I knew it was bad.
415
00:17:11,602 --> 00:17:13,702
That must have been terrifying.
416
00:17:13,771 --> 00:17:16,772
He wanted to take me
to the infirmary, but...
417
00:17:16,841 --> 00:17:18,874
I was afraid of anyone
finding out.
418
00:17:18,943 --> 00:17:21,276
I can't imagine the stress
that put on the both of you.
419
00:17:21,345 --> 00:17:23,312
At first, Danny helped me
hide it at work.
420
00:17:23,380 --> 00:17:25,447
He helped me to learn
how to read lips.
421
00:17:25,516 --> 00:17:28,784
I got good fast.
422
00:17:28,853 --> 00:17:31,053
But when the ringing
turned to silence,
423
00:17:31,121 --> 00:17:32,921
he wanted me to tell my C.O.
424
00:17:32,990 --> 00:17:34,656
And we both knew
what that meant.
425
00:17:34,725 --> 00:17:36,058
You'd be out of the Corps.
426
00:17:38,295 --> 00:17:42,331
You're required to report
that hearing test, aren't you?
427
00:17:42,399 --> 00:17:44,299
Yes. Yes, I am.
428
00:17:44,368 --> 00:17:47,402
Being a Marine is the only thing
that I've ever wanted.
429
00:17:47,471 --> 00:17:50,072
My father...
430
00:17:50,140 --> 00:17:51,740
He was a Marine, too?
431
00:17:51,809 --> 00:17:53,075
Yeah.
432
00:17:53,143 --> 00:17:55,477
He was so proud of it.
433
00:17:57,214 --> 00:18:00,582
Do you know what it meant
for him to see his only child--
434
00:18:00,651 --> 00:18:02,251
a daughter--
become one?
435
00:18:02,319 --> 00:18:05,153
I don't know how
to be anything else.
436
00:18:05,222 --> 00:18:06,622
You-you do.
437
00:18:06,690 --> 00:18:09,124
You know how to be a friend
438
00:18:09,193 --> 00:18:11,226
to Danny.
439
00:18:12,596 --> 00:18:14,363
I need you to think.
440
00:18:14,431 --> 00:18:17,366
Is there anyone who might've
had a grudge against him?
441
00:18:17,434 --> 00:18:18,467
No.
442
00:18:18,535 --> 00:18:20,269
Everyone loved him.
443
00:18:20,337 --> 00:18:22,170
His friends, his co-workers.
444
00:18:22,239 --> 00:18:23,605
Family?
445
00:18:23,674 --> 00:18:25,607
Actually, there is someone.
446
00:18:27,111 --> 00:18:28,510
He had a stepbrother.
447
00:18:28,579 --> 00:18:30,345
I don't think they got along.
448
00:18:30,414 --> 00:18:32,781
You got a name?
449
00:18:38,589 --> 00:18:40,622
So, which one
of these guys looks
450
00:18:40,691 --> 00:18:42,691
like a wicked
stepbrother to you?
451
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:44,559
She said the dude's
name was Ron, right?
452
00:18:44,628 --> 00:18:47,062
Yeah, Ronald Kepczak.
453
00:18:48,465 --> 00:18:50,799
Then that dude?
454
00:18:50,868 --> 00:18:52,868
Yeah, let's find out.
455
00:18:54,438 --> 00:18:55,771
Well, there he is.
456
00:18:58,075 --> 00:18:59,474
Ronald Kepczak?
457
00:18:59,543 --> 00:19:00,909
Who's asking?
458
00:19:00,978 --> 00:19:03,478
Special Agents Torres and McGee.
459
00:19:03,547 --> 00:19:05,847
Are you related to Daniel Backer?
460
00:19:05,916 --> 00:19:08,483
Only 'cause my mom married
that son of a bitch's dad.
461
00:19:08,552 --> 00:19:10,485
So, I'm guessing
you are not close?
462
00:19:10,554 --> 00:19:13,755
No, he had already enlisted by
the time my mom and I moved in.
463
00:19:13,824 --> 00:19:14,923
And?
464
00:19:14,992 --> 00:19:16,258
And what?
465
00:19:16,327 --> 00:19:18,026
What makes him a son of a bitch?
466
00:19:18,095 --> 00:19:19,861
Well, when my
stepdad died,
467
00:19:19,930 --> 00:19:21,274
he left the freakin' house
to Danny.
468
00:19:21,298 --> 00:19:22,664
That house should've been mine.
469
00:19:22,733 --> 00:19:24,266
Danny barely even
freakin' lived in it.
470
00:19:24,335 --> 00:19:26,201
That's a,
that's a tough break.
471
00:19:26,270 --> 00:19:28,281
Yeah, I mean, he was cool enough
about everything at first.
472
00:19:28,305 --> 00:19:30,072
He used to let me record there.
473
00:19:30,140 --> 00:19:32,385
Spent a ton of money building
a soundproof recording studio
474
00:19:32,409 --> 00:19:34,543
in a back room, and then
one day out of the blue,
475
00:19:34,611 --> 00:19:36,445
he just changes his mind.
476
00:19:36,513 --> 00:19:37,513
He tell you why?
477
00:19:37,581 --> 00:19:39,214
No, some BS reason.
478
00:19:39,283 --> 00:19:41,316
It was obvious he
was lying, though.
479
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:46,455
My guess is he was
up to something.
480
00:19:46,523 --> 00:19:48,234
Something he didn't want
anyone else to know about.
481
00:19:48,258 --> 00:19:49,958
He even changed the locks on me.
482
00:19:50,027 --> 00:19:52,527
Doesn't really sound like the
guy we've been hearing about.
483
00:19:52,596 --> 00:19:54,674
Exactly! See, everybody thinks
that he's this goody little
484
00:19:54,698 --> 00:19:57,299
two-shoes, but what kind
of a royal jackass does that?
485
00:19:57,368 --> 00:20:00,202
With him out of the way,
you can finally have the house.
486
00:20:00,270 --> 00:20:02,304
"Out of the way"--
what, did he finally move?
487
00:20:02,373 --> 00:20:03,672
He was killed last night.
488
00:20:05,142 --> 00:20:07,042
Danny's dead?
489
00:20:08,112 --> 00:20:10,579
Ha!
490
00:20:10,647 --> 00:20:12,414
Boy, did he have
that coming, huh?
491
00:20:12,483 --> 00:20:14,883
Ah, looks like little old
Ronnie's luck's about to
492
00:20:14,952 --> 00:20:16,618
change!
493
00:20:18,389 --> 00:20:19,755
Oh, come on.
494
00:20:19,823 --> 00:20:21,267
You don't think
that I did it, do you?
495
00:20:21,291 --> 00:20:22,457
I don't know, did you?
496
00:20:22,526 --> 00:20:24,426
Come on, man, you said
it happened last night?
497
00:20:24,495 --> 00:20:26,573
There was, like, a hundred
people here watching me play.
498
00:20:26,597 --> 00:20:29,164
A hundred, huh?
499
00:20:31,368 --> 00:20:32,734
Everybody's a critic.
500
00:20:32,836 --> 00:20:34,836
We're gonna need
the address to that house.
501
00:20:34,905 --> 00:20:37,072
You guys stay for the show,
you got it.
502
00:20:37,141 --> 00:20:38,473
No.
503
00:20:38,542 --> 00:20:39,552
Believe me,
sir, I know
504
00:20:39,576 --> 00:20:41,176
how cold all
this sounds.
505
00:20:41,245 --> 00:20:42,956
I actually turned around
in the parking lot twice
506
00:20:42,980 --> 00:20:44,112
before I came up here.
507
00:20:44,181 --> 00:20:46,581
And yet, somehow
you still made it.
508
00:20:46,650 --> 00:20:47,994
Because Backer's death
was associated
509
00:20:48,018 --> 00:20:49,618
with one of LanWar's drones...
510
00:20:49,686 --> 00:20:51,564
There's been an automatic
freeze on all contracts
511
00:20:51,588 --> 00:20:53,622
pending the outcome
of our investigation.
512
00:20:53,690 --> 00:20:56,591
And you're losing
a ton of money.
513
00:20:56,660 --> 00:20:58,093
Please, don't make me
an ass here.
514
00:20:58,162 --> 00:20:59,961
Danny was a friend.
515
00:21:00,030 --> 00:21:01,408
But your bottom line
kept you from driving
516
00:21:01,432 --> 00:21:02,964
out of the parking lot twice.
517
00:21:03,033 --> 00:21:05,801
This is about more than
just lost revenue, Director.
518
00:21:05,869 --> 00:21:07,647
There are men and women in
uniform all over the world
519
00:21:07,671 --> 00:21:08,770
that need our weapons, sir.
520
00:21:08,839 --> 00:21:11,373
I'll speak to SECNAV.
521
00:21:12,409 --> 00:21:13,920
You need to inform her
that any more delays
522
00:21:13,944 --> 00:21:15,255
are gonna negatively impact
our ability to deliver...
523
00:21:15,279 --> 00:21:16,812
Thank you.
524
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:18,320
He was touring around
the parking lot
525
00:21:18,348 --> 00:21:19,548
looking for a place to park.
526
00:21:21,752 --> 00:21:24,030
I was getting coffee.
And since you didn't get one for me,
527
00:21:24,054 --> 00:21:26,688
I'm gonna assume that
this isn't a social call.
528
00:21:26,757 --> 00:21:28,657
Leon, can we hold off
informing the Corps
529
00:21:28,725 --> 00:21:30,525
about Murphy's hearing loss?
530
00:21:30,594 --> 00:21:32,072
It's too late, Gibbs.
She's already been pulled
531
00:21:32,096 --> 00:21:33,295
from active duty.
532
00:21:33,363 --> 00:21:35,530
What's the matter?
I thought you said
533
00:21:35,599 --> 00:21:37,065
she alibied out.
She did.
534
00:21:37,134 --> 00:21:39,000
And she lied to us
and she fled the scene.
535
00:21:39,069 --> 00:21:41,636
Now she's come up with
a lead for us to chase?
536
00:21:41,705 --> 00:21:43,872
So you think she's still
hiding something.
537
00:21:43,941 --> 00:21:46,141
I think we can't
afford her disappearing.
538
00:21:46,210 --> 00:21:47,787
Well, your gut is quite
the force, Gibbs,
539
00:21:47,811 --> 00:21:49,644
but you know that's
not enough to hold her.
540
00:21:49,713 --> 00:21:51,012
We got to cut
her loose
541
00:21:51,081 --> 00:21:52,981
and hope that your new lead
pans out.
542
00:21:53,050 --> 00:21:55,016
Backer's whole life
543
00:21:55,085 --> 00:21:59,154
boiled down to one laptop
and a busted up cell phone,
544
00:21:59,223 --> 00:22:00,822
courtesy of a drone strike.
545
00:22:00,891 --> 00:22:02,824
What's the next level up
from busted?
546
00:22:02,893 --> 00:22:05,694
'Cause this looks like what
I want to do when spammers call.
547
00:22:05,762 --> 00:22:07,140
But you can still get
something off of that, right?
548
00:22:07,164 --> 00:22:09,698
What kind of magic
do you think I do down here?
549
00:22:09,766 --> 00:22:12,000
I know. Okay. Sorry.
550
00:22:12,069 --> 00:22:13,401
I didn't say it was impossible,
551
00:22:13,470 --> 00:22:15,670
just, you know,
first things first.
552
00:22:15,739 --> 00:22:16,916
You found something
on the laptop?
553
00:22:16,940 --> 00:22:18,540
Uh, actually, no.
554
00:22:18,609 --> 00:22:20,942
Your boy Backer had
zero social media presence
555
00:22:21,011 --> 00:22:23,178
and the last thing on his laptop
556
00:22:23,247 --> 00:22:26,448
was an article about
a cat that raised puppies.
557
00:22:26,517 --> 00:22:28,617
Hmm. Well, I can't say
I'm surprised.
558
00:22:28,685 --> 00:22:30,163
There wasn't much
in his apartment, either,
559
00:22:30,187 --> 00:22:31,419
so we got nothing.
560
00:22:31,488 --> 00:22:33,255
Actually, we have one thing.
561
00:22:35,759 --> 00:22:38,393
I just don't know what it is.
What is it?
562
00:22:38,462 --> 00:22:40,807
You know, sometimes I feel like
I'm talking to myself down here.
563
00:22:40,831 --> 00:22:42,297
I mean, where did you get it?
564
00:22:42,366 --> 00:22:44,599
Jimmy sent it up. I think
he found it among the remains.
565
00:22:44,668 --> 00:22:46,234
He wants me
to tell him what it is.
566
00:22:46,303 --> 00:22:48,303
All I can tell you
is that it appears to be made
567
00:22:48,372 --> 00:22:51,306
out of a metal alloy
I've never seen before.
568
00:22:51,375 --> 00:22:52,895
I asked the director
to put me in touch
569
00:22:52,943 --> 00:22:54,242
with someone from LanWar.
570
00:22:54,311 --> 00:22:55,644
Maybe they know what it is.
571
00:22:55,712 --> 00:22:57,312
Bad news, Miss Hines.
572
00:22:57,381 --> 00:22:58,880
No, don't say that.
573
00:22:58,949 --> 00:23:01,316
I made some calls,
and I didn't get any answers.
574
00:23:01,385 --> 00:23:02,984
They stonewalled you, too?
575
00:23:03,053 --> 00:23:04,130
Don't they know
you're the director
576
00:23:04,154 --> 00:23:05,320
of a federal agency?
577
00:23:05,389 --> 00:23:06,555
Welcome to my world.
578
00:23:06,623 --> 00:23:08,557
But you rest assured,
I'll keep pushing.
579
00:23:08,625 --> 00:23:11,726
Oh, how is Mr. Palmer's
assistant search going?
580
00:23:11,795 --> 00:23:14,396
Uh, he's had some duds.
581
00:23:14,464 --> 00:23:15,830
Yeah, last I heard,
582
00:23:15,899 --> 00:23:17,332
he was ready to give it up.
583
00:23:17,401 --> 00:23:19,134
Speaking of which,
584
00:23:19,203 --> 00:23:21,469
any chance I can
get an assistant?
585
00:23:21,538 --> 00:23:24,172
Miss Hines, you're doing
such a great job,
586
00:23:24,241 --> 00:23:26,408
doesn't seem like you need
any help at all to me.
587
00:23:26,476 --> 00:23:27,842
You keep up the good work.
588
00:23:27,911 --> 00:23:29,911
Mm.
Mm-hmm.
589
00:23:29,980 --> 00:23:31,079
That was a smooth no.
590
00:23:31,148 --> 00:23:32,280
Mm-hmm.
591
00:23:33,850 --> 00:23:35,461
Why are you knocking?
Let's kick in the door, baby.
592
00:23:35,485 --> 00:23:36,718
We don't have a warrant.
593
00:23:37,921 --> 00:23:40,655
NCIS!
594
00:23:43,393 --> 00:23:45,327
Ready?
Yeah.
595
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:57,672
Torres.
596
00:24:00,210 --> 00:24:02,377
Whoever it is, they're gone.
597
00:24:02,446 --> 00:24:04,446
It's got to be the killer.
598
00:24:04,514 --> 00:24:05,780
We must have
interrupted 'em.
599
00:24:05,849 --> 00:24:07,349
What do you think
they're looking for?
600
00:24:07,417 --> 00:24:09,317
I don't know. Let's check
the rest of the house.
601
00:24:09,386 --> 00:24:11,286
Yeah.
602
00:24:28,305 --> 00:24:29,738
What do you think is in there?
603
00:24:29,806 --> 00:24:31,706
Keypad's got four slots.
604
00:24:31,775 --> 00:24:33,255
Ten numeric options,
I'd say 10,000...
605
00:24:33,310 --> 00:24:34,576
I hate math.
606
00:24:35,946 --> 00:24:37,779
Yeah, but you love
kicking down doors.
607
00:24:39,249 --> 00:24:41,616
Yeah. Yeah, I really do.
608
00:24:44,054 --> 00:24:45,987
Ronnie's music studio?
609
00:24:46,056 --> 00:24:47,567
Well, maybe Backer
took over the place
610
00:24:47,591 --> 00:24:49,924
just to start his own band.
611
00:24:53,764 --> 00:24:55,597
Yeah, I don't think so.
612
00:24:55,666 --> 00:24:57,365
It looks like our retired Marine
613
00:24:57,434 --> 00:24:59,668
was doing more in here
than just jamming.
614
00:25:05,688 --> 00:25:08,623
So this is the same
type of weapon
615
00:25:08,691 --> 00:25:10,224
that caused Diana's
hearing loss?
616
00:25:10,293 --> 00:25:12,193
Designed and built by LanWar.
617
00:25:12,262 --> 00:25:15,229
What was Backer doing
with them in his house?
618
00:25:15,298 --> 00:25:17,465
Funny you should ask.
619
00:25:17,533 --> 00:25:21,002
I just had a good old time
at LanWar trying to get answers.
620
00:25:21,070 --> 00:25:22,136
Well, what do you got?
621
00:25:22,205 --> 00:25:24,472
The weapons at Backer's place?
Stolen.
622
00:25:24,540 --> 00:25:25,780
Did LanWar report them missing?
623
00:25:25,808 --> 00:25:27,253
Well, they didn't know
they were missing.
624
00:25:27,277 --> 00:25:28,409
Apparently, Backer
625
00:25:28,478 --> 00:25:29,744
fudged some type of,
626
00:25:29,812 --> 00:25:31,545
uh, inventory report
or something.
627
00:25:31,614 --> 00:25:32,813
You get a copy?
Nope.
628
00:25:32,882 --> 00:25:34,560
They wouldn't give anything up
without a warrant.
629
00:25:34,584 --> 00:25:36,717
Again, what was Backer doing
630
00:25:36,786 --> 00:25:39,320
with stolen weapons
at his house?
631
00:25:39,389 --> 00:25:40,900
Well, either he was
planning the mother
632
00:25:40,924 --> 00:25:42,657
of all laser tag parties...
633
00:25:42,725 --> 00:25:44,091
Or he was planning
on selling them.
634
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:45,271
I'm going
with the latter.
635
00:25:45,295 --> 00:25:46,375
Prototype weapons like that
636
00:25:46,429 --> 00:25:48,029
usually are worth a fortune.
637
00:25:48,097 --> 00:25:49,397
Looks like the Boy Scout
638
00:25:49,465 --> 00:25:51,198
wasn't very good about
being a Boy Scout.
639
00:25:51,267 --> 00:25:53,434
- You think he had a buyer already?
- Oh, if he did,
640
00:25:53,503 --> 00:25:55,202
that buyer could be our killer.
641
00:25:55,271 --> 00:25:57,805
And deals like this have
a way of going sideways.
642
00:25:58,942 --> 00:26:00,541
So I reassembled Mr. Backer
643
00:26:00,610 --> 00:26:03,411
to the best of my abilities.
644
00:26:03,479 --> 00:26:04,779
You missed a few pieces.
645
00:26:04,847 --> 00:26:06,247
Yeah, I noticed.
646
00:26:06,316 --> 00:26:07,927
Which is why I went
back to the test field
647
00:26:07,951 --> 00:26:09,450
for a secondary search.
648
00:26:09,519 --> 00:26:10,796
Actually reminded me of
one of the first things
649
00:26:10,820 --> 00:26:12,453
they teach you in
M.E. field training:
650
00:26:12,522 --> 00:26:14,288
- Always...
- "Always go back
651
00:26:14,357 --> 00:26:16,857
for pieces of flesh
you might've missed."
652
00:26:16,926 --> 00:26:18,960
I beg your pardon.
Please excuse the intrusion.
653
00:26:19,028 --> 00:26:20,795
I'm looking for
a Dr. Palmer?
654
00:26:20,863 --> 00:26:22,463
That's me.
Christopher Crane,
655
00:26:22,532 --> 00:26:24,699
applicant for
the assistant M.E. position.
656
00:26:24,767 --> 00:26:27,201
Right, right. I'm just finishing
up a briefing now, so...
657
00:26:27,270 --> 00:26:28,436
Say no more.
658
00:26:28,504 --> 00:26:31,305
What a fascinating
constitution of remains.
659
00:26:31,374 --> 00:26:32,540
Yeah.
660
00:26:32,608 --> 00:26:34,308
Isn't it, though?
661
00:26:34,377 --> 00:26:36,577
Shall I properly attire myself
so I can assist?
662
00:26:36,646 --> 00:26:37,690
I'll try not
to be a bother.
663
00:26:37,714 --> 00:26:38,946
By all means.
664
00:26:39,015 --> 00:26:40,715
Yeah, yeah. R-Right
through there.
665
00:26:41,951 --> 00:26:44,652
Well, isn't he enthusiastic?
666
00:26:44,721 --> 00:26:45,886
Flesh you missed.
667
00:26:45,955 --> 00:26:48,122
That's actually a section
of Backer's torso.
668
00:26:48,191 --> 00:26:50,124
And lo and behold,
669
00:26:50,193 --> 00:26:54,295
I found the bullet that killed
him, lodged in his vertebra.
670
00:26:54,364 --> 00:26:56,630
The hell kind of bullet is that?
I don't know.
671
00:26:56,699 --> 00:26:58,165
Kasie couldn't even
identify it.
672
00:26:58,234 --> 00:26:59,967
Boss, I got something
you got to see.
673
00:27:00,036 --> 00:27:02,837
Warrant came back for that
LanWar inventory report.
674
00:27:02,905 --> 00:27:04,483
Would you like me
to take over categorizing
675
00:27:04,507 --> 00:27:07,174
the recovered specimens,
Dr. Palmer?
676
00:27:07,243 --> 00:27:08,342
Well, yes, please.
677
00:27:08,411 --> 00:27:09,451
Do you prefer them ordered
678
00:27:09,512 --> 00:27:12,146
by musculoskeletal
or organ system?
679
00:27:12,215 --> 00:27:13,914
Why, thank you for asking.
680
00:27:13,983 --> 00:27:15,995
Uh, just plain old alphabetical
is what we use around here.
681
00:27:16,019 --> 00:27:17,318
You just start
at the top
682
00:27:17,387 --> 00:27:18,819
and work your way down.
683
00:27:21,824 --> 00:27:23,457
Boss, what is happening?
Does Ducky have
684
00:27:23,526 --> 00:27:25,192
another younger brother
we don't know...
685
00:27:25,261 --> 00:27:26,761
McGee. The inventory report.
686
00:27:26,829 --> 00:27:29,030
We had originally assumed
that Backer
687
00:27:29,098 --> 00:27:30,631
was the one
who fudged the report
688
00:27:30,700 --> 00:27:32,366
that allowed him
to steal those weapons.
689
00:27:32,435 --> 00:27:34,368
We were wrong.
Who?
690
00:27:34,437 --> 00:27:35,836
You're not gonna like it.
691
00:28:09,539 --> 00:28:10,971
You going somewhere?
692
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:12,173
It's official.
693
00:28:12,241 --> 00:28:13,674
I've been medically discharged.
694
00:28:13,743 --> 00:28:15,042
You recognize this?
695
00:28:15,111 --> 00:28:17,311
It's an inventory report
696
00:28:17,380 --> 00:28:18,979
from LanWar's
weapons storage unit.
697
00:28:19,048 --> 00:28:22,049
Which you falsified to help
Backer steal from LanWar.
698
00:28:22,118 --> 00:28:24,318
That is your signature,
isn't it?
699
00:28:27,056 --> 00:28:29,056
No. It's not.
700
00:28:32,261 --> 00:28:33,894
Damn it.
Danny must have forged it.
701
00:28:33,963 --> 00:28:36,230
I-I didn't think
he would go that far.
702
00:28:36,299 --> 00:28:39,400
Well, he went a lot further than
that. He committed a felony.
703
00:28:39,469 --> 00:28:41,102
What was he doing
with the weapons?
704
00:28:43,673 --> 00:28:45,673
Start talking.
705
00:28:46,976 --> 00:28:49,610
Talk or we will handcuff you.
706
00:28:49,679 --> 00:28:51,846
For what? I didn't help him.
707
00:28:51,914 --> 00:28:54,548
That's what we fought about
that day at LanWar.
708
00:28:54,617 --> 00:28:56,383
He wanted me to lie on the forms
709
00:28:56,452 --> 00:28:57,551
and wouldn't
tell me why.
710
00:28:57,620 --> 00:28:58,919
I refused.
711
00:28:58,988 --> 00:29:00,554
You told him
you couldn't help him
712
00:29:00,623 --> 00:29:02,089
and he signed your name anyway?
713
00:29:02,158 --> 00:29:03,557
Agent Gibbs,
714
00:29:03,626 --> 00:29:05,960
he stuck his neck out
for me for three months.
715
00:29:06,028 --> 00:29:08,262
He is a good man.
716
00:29:08,331 --> 00:29:10,097
He must have had
his reasons.
717
00:29:10,166 --> 00:29:12,666
Good reasons.
718
00:29:15,304 --> 00:29:16,937
Except...?
719
00:29:20,143 --> 00:29:22,076
The night that we fought,
720
00:29:22,145 --> 00:29:25,079
he told me that he was
leaving to go meet someone.
721
00:29:25,148 --> 00:29:26,981
Who?
I don't know.
722
00:29:27,049 --> 00:29:28,282
Where?
I don't know.
723
00:29:28,351 --> 00:29:29,695
Danny said the less I knew,
the better.
724
00:29:29,719 --> 00:29:31,118
He said it was
for my own safety.
725
00:29:31,187 --> 00:29:32,764
You didn't think about
telling us this before?
726
00:29:32,788 --> 00:29:34,588
I didn't know what to think.
727
00:29:34,657 --> 00:29:37,658
The Danny that I knew served
with valor and honor.
728
00:29:37,727 --> 00:29:39,894
More than anyone
I have ever met.
729
00:29:39,962 --> 00:29:42,796
I will not jump to conclusions
that might sully his memory.
730
00:29:42,865 --> 00:29:44,899
That's your job.
731
00:29:48,838 --> 00:29:50,504
Oh, hey.
732
00:29:50,573 --> 00:29:53,407
You got tired of asking people,
"So tell me about yourself"?
733
00:29:53,476 --> 00:29:56,844
I was tired, yes,
but now I have one candidate
734
00:29:56,913 --> 00:29:59,313
who has advanced to the
highly selective third round.
735
00:29:59,382 --> 00:30:02,616
He's, uh, organizing
my microscope slides right now.
736
00:30:02,685 --> 00:30:04,952
What are you guys up to here?
737
00:30:05,021 --> 00:30:08,455
Well, Diana said that Backer
met up with a mystery person
738
00:30:08,524 --> 00:30:09,957
right after they had a fight.
739
00:30:10,026 --> 00:30:11,859
Pulled GPS from his phone,
740
00:30:11,928 --> 00:30:15,462
which led us to this
convenience store off I-95.
741
00:30:15,531 --> 00:30:17,932
Seven hours of footage,
still no Backer.
742
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,301
Man, if I had a nickel
for every shady deal
743
00:30:20,369 --> 00:30:22,047
that went down outside
a convenience store...
744
00:30:22,071 --> 00:30:24,138
Mama
would be...
745
00:30:24,207 --> 00:30:26,473
Actually, I-I don't know
what Mama would be doing.
746
00:30:26,542 --> 00:30:28,609
Is it really true
that the hearing-impaired
747
00:30:28,678 --> 00:30:30,477
cannot serve in the military?
748
00:30:30,546 --> 00:30:34,348
Yeah. The DoD has a standard
that you have to be able
749
00:30:34,417 --> 00:30:36,350
to hear without the use
of any aid.
750
00:30:36,419 --> 00:30:38,953
Yeah, but that's crazy.
I mean, look at Diana.
751
00:30:39,021 --> 00:30:41,322
Are you telling me
there isn't some kind of, like,
752
00:30:41,390 --> 00:30:42,790
non-combat role
753
00:30:42,858 --> 00:30:44,792
that she could,
like, kick ass in?
754
00:30:44,860 --> 00:30:46,860
Okay. Is this the Angry Kasie
755
00:30:46,929 --> 00:30:48,629
you warned me about
that one time?
756
00:30:48,698 --> 00:30:50,064
Waste makes me angry.
757
00:30:50,132 --> 00:30:51,999
And stupid waste
makes me stupid angry.
758
00:30:52,068 --> 00:30:54,168
Other countries allow the
hearing-impaired to serve.
759
00:30:54,237 --> 00:30:55,636
I looked it up.
760
00:30:55,705 --> 00:30:58,973
Uh, well,
this might make you happy.
761
00:31:00,243 --> 00:31:01,575
Look.
762
00:31:01,644 --> 00:31:02,977
I think
that's Backer.
763
00:31:03,045 --> 00:31:04,812
There's the guest of honor.
764
00:31:07,283 --> 00:31:08,882
That's one
of the sonic weapon cases.
765
00:31:08,951 --> 00:31:10,985
We need to
I.D. the person
766
00:31:11,053 --> 00:31:13,053
in the other car.
767
00:31:13,122 --> 00:31:15,222
Uh, yup, but
for facial recognition,
768
00:31:15,291 --> 00:31:17,491
kind of need to see his face,
but maybe...
769
00:31:24,500 --> 00:31:25,966
Bingo. Got the plate.
770
00:31:29,238 --> 00:31:31,171
"Zahir Najjar."
771
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:34,608
One Zahir Najjar
coming right up.
772
00:31:34,677 --> 00:31:37,211
Hmm. Looks like
he's a professor
773
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:39,046
of electrical engineering
at M.I.T.
774
00:31:39,115 --> 00:31:41,515
See? This is what happens when
you don't pay teachers enough.
775
00:31:42,852 --> 00:31:44,251
They become arms dealers.
776
00:31:45,588 --> 00:31:47,688
An arms dealer, huh?
777
00:31:47,757 --> 00:31:49,790
That's an interesting theory.
778
00:31:51,260 --> 00:31:53,427
This looks like
more than a theory.
779
00:31:54,930 --> 00:31:56,196
You recognize it?
780
00:31:57,667 --> 00:31:59,366
It's a sonic weapon.
781
00:31:59,435 --> 00:32:00,734
A prototype.
782
00:32:00,803 --> 00:32:02,369
What was it doing in
your living room?
783
00:32:02,438 --> 00:32:03,971
We know you got it
from Daniel Backer.
784
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:05,506
Or was it bought?
785
00:32:05,574 --> 00:32:06,640
What's the deal?
786
00:32:06,709 --> 00:32:08,609
He steals the weapons,
sells them to you?
787
00:32:08,678 --> 00:32:10,577
And going by
that cheap suit,
788
00:32:10,646 --> 00:32:13,113
I'm guessing you're
just a middleman.
789
00:32:14,517 --> 00:32:15,616
And going by this,
790
00:32:15,685 --> 00:32:18,052
it looks like you two
had a falling out.
791
00:32:26,128 --> 00:32:29,430
You didn't check your work,
Agents.
792
00:32:29,498 --> 00:32:31,465
You wouldn't do well
in my class.
793
00:32:32,835 --> 00:32:34,335
I didn't know Daniel was dead
794
00:32:34,403 --> 00:32:36,337
until you broke down my door.
795
00:32:36,405 --> 00:32:39,673
He and I did have a deal,
that part is true.
796
00:32:39,742 --> 00:32:42,142
But not the one you think.
797
00:32:42,211 --> 00:32:43,644
The man was a patriot.
798
00:32:43,713 --> 00:32:45,913
He loved the military
more than life itself.
799
00:32:45,981 --> 00:32:48,315
Then why the hell
steal from it?
800
00:32:48,384 --> 00:32:49,983
Simple.
801
00:32:50,086 --> 00:32:51,919
He was trying to protect it.
802
00:32:59,227 --> 00:33:00,159
Update.
803
00:33:00,228 --> 00:33:01,728
Come on, let's go.
804
00:33:01,796 --> 00:33:04,230
Professor Najjar had a pretty
interesting story to tell.
805
00:33:04,299 --> 00:33:06,766
Even if he told it in the
most demeaning way possible.
806
00:33:06,835 --> 00:33:08,468
Torres is still in with him.
807
00:33:08,536 --> 00:33:09,576
He said Backer just
808
00:33:09,637 --> 00:33:11,277
couldn't get over the
accident with Diana.
809
00:33:11,339 --> 00:33:12,472
She lost her hearing.
810
00:33:12,540 --> 00:33:13,851
Yeah, and he's the one
that made it happen
811
00:33:13,875 --> 00:33:15,441
when he misfired
his weapon.
812
00:33:15,510 --> 00:33:18,745
Except Backer started to think
that maybe it wasn't a misfire.
813
00:33:18,813 --> 00:33:20,613
And with more training,
he found a design flaw
814
00:33:20,682 --> 00:33:22,893
in the weapon itself, and that
is what caused the accident.
815
00:33:22,917 --> 00:33:23,983
He tell anyone?
816
00:33:24,052 --> 00:33:25,212
Well, apparently,
he tried to,
817
00:33:25,253 --> 00:33:27,253
but no one would listen.
818
00:33:27,322 --> 00:33:29,455
The professor gave us
these. They're copies
819
00:33:29,524 --> 00:33:32,325
of Backer's
internal LanWar reports.
820
00:33:32,394 --> 00:33:34,360
Yeah, but they never saw
the light of day.
821
00:33:34,429 --> 00:33:37,597
Backer didn't steal the weapons
to sell them.
822
00:33:37,665 --> 00:33:39,866
He was trying
to blow the whistle.
823
00:33:39,934 --> 00:33:41,968
He knew his official reports
were getting buried,
824
00:33:42,037 --> 00:33:44,003
so he went outside
the chain of command.
825
00:33:44,072 --> 00:33:45,671
Backer called up
an old professor
826
00:33:45,740 --> 00:33:47,140
to conduct the tests.
827
00:33:47,208 --> 00:33:50,209
But they needed the weapons
to test them.
828
00:33:50,278 --> 00:33:52,812
Well, if he was wrong, he was
risking his entire career.
829
00:33:52,881 --> 00:33:54,814
Not to mention jail time.
830
00:33:54,883 --> 00:33:57,650
But Backer took the risk anyway.
831
00:33:57,719 --> 00:34:00,553
It was the right thing to do.
Who buried his reports?
832
00:34:03,458 --> 00:34:05,391
Gentlemen, I'm confused.
833
00:34:05,460 --> 00:34:07,060
I was called in
to discuss SECNAV
834
00:34:07,128 --> 00:34:08,728
lifting the freeze
on LanWar's contracts.
835
00:34:08,763 --> 00:34:10,229
Yeah, we made that up.
836
00:34:10,298 --> 00:34:12,498
But we thought you should know
837
00:34:12,567 --> 00:34:16,636
that Staff Sergeant Murphy
was cleared of Backer's murder.
838
00:34:16,704 --> 00:34:19,739
She had an alibi at the lab
for the night in question.
839
00:34:19,808 --> 00:34:21,174
What?
840
00:34:21,242 --> 00:34:23,176
So now you're back
to square one?
841
00:34:23,244 --> 00:34:25,044
Every day this investigation
remains open,
842
00:34:25,113 --> 00:34:26,312
we're losing money.
843
00:34:26,381 --> 00:34:27,480
Yeah, no worries.
844
00:34:27,549 --> 00:34:29,482
We got a new suspect.
845
00:34:29,551 --> 00:34:31,751
Go ahead, have a seat.
846
00:34:32,787 --> 00:34:34,720
Gentlemen,
847
00:34:34,789 --> 00:34:36,722
I don't know where you're going
with this, but...
848
00:34:37,759 --> 00:34:39,358
What is that?
849
00:34:39,427 --> 00:34:41,694
Gee, Agent Torres,
does that look like
850
00:34:41,763 --> 00:34:44,230
an internal LanWar
safety report to you?
851
00:34:44,299 --> 00:34:47,100
Oh, yeah.
It sure does, Agent McGee.
852
00:34:47,168 --> 00:34:48,168
It talks about
853
00:34:48,236 --> 00:34:49,669
a design flaw
854
00:34:49,737 --> 00:34:51,270
in one of LanWar's weapons.
855
00:34:51,339 --> 00:34:52,672
What about this one here?
856
00:34:52,740 --> 00:34:54,273
Hmm, that looks like
the memo that was
857
00:34:54,342 --> 00:34:55,675
sent in its place.
858
00:34:55,743 --> 00:34:57,443
You want to know what it says?
859
00:34:57,512 --> 00:34:59,078
It has your signature on it.
860
00:35:01,983 --> 00:35:03,249
It's an authorization
861
00:35:03,318 --> 00:35:05,284
to release those weapons
for troops testing.
862
00:35:05,353 --> 00:35:07,053
Weapons you knew were faulty.
863
00:35:07,122 --> 00:35:08,602
And yet you gave them
the green light.
864
00:35:08,656 --> 00:35:10,690
See, those of us in the
"bad guy busting" business
865
00:35:10,758 --> 00:35:12,058
call that a whitewash.
866
00:35:12,127 --> 00:35:14,527
And when Backer found out
and wanted to stop you...
867
00:35:14,596 --> 00:35:15,661
You killed him.
868
00:35:15,730 --> 00:35:17,363
You dumped his body
in a weapons range.
869
00:35:17,432 --> 00:35:18,764
Figured that the evidence
would be blown up.
870
00:35:18,765 --> 00:35:20,833
No, no.
You got it all wrong.
871
00:35:20,902 --> 00:35:23,569
Really? Because it
feels so right to me.
872
00:35:23,638 --> 00:35:25,771
What about you, Agent Torres?
So, so right.
873
00:35:26,774 --> 00:35:28,441
Okay, look, okay, it's true.
874
00:35:28,510 --> 00:35:30,243
I buried Backer's report.
875
00:35:30,311 --> 00:35:32,645
I authorized the release
of those weapons.
876
00:35:32,714 --> 00:35:35,314
Come on, just let it out.
You'll feel so much better.
877
00:35:35,383 --> 00:35:38,351
I couldn't risk losing
my military contracts. Not now.
878
00:35:40,054 --> 00:35:43,289
I'm in the process of selling
my majority stake in LanWar.
879
00:35:43,358 --> 00:35:45,658
I went through a bad divorce
and I needed the money.
880
00:35:45,727 --> 00:35:47,126
But I didn't kill anybody.
881
00:35:47,195 --> 00:35:48,928
And yet it's all feeling...
882
00:35:48,997 --> 00:35:50,229
What was that again, McGee?
883
00:35:50,298 --> 00:35:51,931
So, so right.
So, so right.
884
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:53,944
You said Staff Sergeant Murphy
couldn't be the killer
885
00:35:53,968 --> 00:35:56,002
because she was at the lab
the night of the murder.
886
00:35:56,070 --> 00:35:58,337
Your point?
I was there that night, too.
887
00:35:58,406 --> 00:36:00,873
Overseeing LanWar's operations.
888
00:36:03,678 --> 00:36:05,611
So I guess you are back
to square one.
889
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:07,079
Maybe not.
890
00:36:07,148 --> 00:36:10,616
Mr. Geary, who are you selling
your stake in LanWar to?
891
00:36:10,685 --> 00:36:13,186
George Ingram.
Who is he?
892
00:36:13,254 --> 00:36:16,689
He is the chief
weapons developer at LanWar.
893
00:36:16,758 --> 00:36:18,524
Yeah, we met already.
894
00:36:18,593 --> 00:36:20,193
He was supervising
the training exercise
895
00:36:20,261 --> 00:36:22,762
the day Diana
torpedoed her boyfriend.
896
00:36:22,830 --> 00:36:25,164
Is it me,
or does chief developer
897
00:36:25,233 --> 00:36:27,466
seem a little below
his pay grade?
898
00:36:27,535 --> 00:36:30,536
Not just you.
I spoke with HR at LanWar.
899
00:36:30,605 --> 00:36:32,705
Turns out that Ingram
doesn't normally run
900
00:36:32,774 --> 00:36:34,440
the training exercises,
but he put himself
901
00:36:34,509 --> 00:36:35,708
on the roster that day.
902
00:36:35,777 --> 00:36:37,577
Even dictated the target.
903
00:36:37,645 --> 00:36:39,212
Well, that is not convenient.
904
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:41,225
Well, neither is buying
a company whose star product
905
00:36:41,249 --> 00:36:42,515
makes you go deaf.
906
00:36:42,584 --> 00:36:43,827
Where is he now?
Pinging his phone
907
00:36:43,851 --> 00:36:45,451
as we speak.
Yeah? And?
908
00:36:47,522 --> 00:36:50,790
Ooh. Uh, we might have
a problem here.
909
00:36:50,858 --> 00:36:52,258
Ingram's at Diana's.
910
00:37:37,972 --> 00:37:40,106
George?! What are you doing?
911
00:37:56,324 --> 00:37:58,357
What took you so long?
912
00:38:03,865 --> 00:38:05,798
How's it going
with the new assistant?
913
00:38:05,867 --> 00:38:08,367
Yeah, to be honest,
I had completely
914
00:38:08,469 --> 00:38:11,037
given up on finding anyone,
and then this guy...
915
00:38:11,105 --> 00:38:13,873
This guy has exceeded
every expectation.
916
00:38:13,941 --> 00:38:15,608
I swear, I've never
met anyone like him.
917
00:38:15,677 --> 00:38:17,576
Really?
918
00:38:17,645 --> 00:38:20,746
He doesn't, you know,
remind you of anyone?
919
00:38:20,815 --> 00:38:23,215
I guess he puts off kind of,
like, a Tom Hiddleston vibe.
920
00:38:23,284 --> 00:38:25,451
You know, Tom Hiddleston
never wears bow ties.
921
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:27,753
Tom Hiddleston would never.
Yeah, right.
922
00:38:27,822 --> 00:38:29,121
Do you know anyone
923
00:38:29,190 --> 00:38:31,090
who does wear bow ties?
924
00:38:31,159 --> 00:38:33,959
I mean,
aside from Dr. Mallard, no.
925
00:38:36,030 --> 00:38:39,065
Oh...
Mm.
926
00:38:39,133 --> 00:38:42,134
Yeah. No, I don't see it.
927
00:38:42,203 --> 00:38:44,470
Rest well, young warrior.
928
00:38:44,539 --> 00:38:47,473
We shall never know what heights
you may have climbed
929
00:38:47,542 --> 00:38:49,942
or oceans you may have crossed.
930
00:38:50,011 --> 00:38:51,944
Alas,
931
00:38:52,013 --> 00:38:53,979
what could have been.
932
00:38:56,417 --> 00:38:58,184
Okay, now I see it. Yeah.
Mm.
933
00:38:59,587 --> 00:39:02,254
Congratulations, Mr. Crane.
934
00:39:02,323 --> 00:39:04,290
You have done an excellent job.
935
00:39:04,359 --> 00:39:07,760
I would like to officially
offer you the position.
936
00:39:07,829 --> 00:39:09,328
Oh, dear.
937
00:39:09,397 --> 00:39:11,597
Uh, actually, I was
938
00:39:11,666 --> 00:39:13,933
just about to say my goodbyes.
What's that?
939
00:39:14,001 --> 00:39:17,002
Summer of 2015.
940
00:39:17,071 --> 00:39:19,538
I was on a gondola
in Venice when
941
00:39:19,607 --> 00:39:21,774
the boat tipped over,
and I suddenly realized
942
00:39:21,843 --> 00:39:26,345
that I could swim better
than I ever imagined.
943
00:39:26,414 --> 00:39:27,713
You see,
944
00:39:27,782 --> 00:39:30,383
one has to fully appreciate
his own abilities
945
00:39:30,451 --> 00:39:31,984
before he can truly know
946
00:39:32,053 --> 00:39:35,187
what type of help to seek.
947
00:39:35,256 --> 00:39:37,456
Mm.
948
00:39:37,525 --> 00:39:39,458
Cheerio.
949
00:39:46,300 --> 00:39:48,634
I have no idea
what that even means.
950
00:39:48,703 --> 00:39:50,703
I think it means
back to the drawing board.
951
00:40:06,721 --> 00:40:08,717
Thanks, Mike. You all right?
952
00:40:08,718 --> 00:40:10,156
Yeah. You should
see the other guy.
953
00:40:11,392 --> 00:40:13,225
I heard. I'm not surprised.
954
00:40:13,294 --> 00:40:15,561
Appreciate you coming in.
I'm glad that you called.
955
00:40:15,630 --> 00:40:17,696
I didn't get a chance
to say thank you.
956
00:40:17,765 --> 00:40:19,331
Mm.
957
00:40:23,571 --> 00:40:26,439
The Backer family
wanted you to have these.
958
00:40:31,512 --> 00:40:33,946
Oh, I got something else
for you, too.
959
00:40:35,116 --> 00:40:36,882
What's this?
960
00:40:36,951 --> 00:40:39,285
Director Vance
pulled some strings.
961
00:40:40,488 --> 00:40:43,923
It's a job offer
with the Marine Warfighting Lab.
962
00:40:43,991 --> 00:40:46,592
Now that LanWar
is out of the picture,
963
00:40:46,661 --> 00:40:48,093
they need a civilian liaison
964
00:40:48,162 --> 00:40:50,029
to design
their training exercises.
965
00:40:50,097 --> 00:40:53,032
Like Danny used to do.
966
00:40:53,100 --> 00:40:54,533
Thank you.
967
00:40:56,938 --> 00:40:58,871
Make him proud.
968
00:41:00,441 --> 00:41:03,175
You make Danny proud.
969
00:41:04,212 --> 00:41:06,245
Ooh-rah.
970
00:41:10,427 --> 00:41:17,527
