1
00:00:04,677 --> 00:00:06,505
Previously on NCIS
2
00:00:06,549 --> 00:00:08,333
I have no choice
but to suspend you.
3
00:00:08,377 --> 00:00:10,292
Indefinitely.
4
00:00:10,335 --> 00:00:11,336
You look like
real people.
5
00:00:11,380 --> 00:00:12,946
I'm Marcie, by the way.
6
00:00:13,947 --> 00:00:16,167
-I don't like
being ambushed.
7
00:00:16,211 --> 00:00:18,082
I come bearing gifts.
A peace offering.
8
00:00:18,126 --> 00:00:19,866
-Why?
-What I am most proud of
9
00:00:19,910 --> 00:00:20,998
is my investigative work,
10
00:00:21,042 --> 00:00:22,347
which is about
exposing the truth.
11
00:00:22,391 --> 00:00:24,958
And I know you know something
about the truth.
12
00:00:25,002 --> 00:00:26,917
And I want to be the one
to write about it.
13
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:29,050
What a surprise. What
are you doing here?
14
00:00:29,093 --> 00:00:30,703
I could ask you
the same question.
15
00:00:30,747 --> 00:00:33,141
I'm working on a thing
and I would really appreciate
16
00:00:33,184 --> 00:00:34,707
your opinion.
17
00:00:34,751 --> 00:00:37,841
Hoping you'll
give it a read.
18
00:00:45,327 --> 00:00:46,893
I swear! I'll do it!
19
00:00:46,937 --> 00:00:50,201
No, you won't, Toby.
20
00:00:50,245 --> 00:00:51,898
You're gonna be cool.
21
00:00:51,942 --> 00:00:53,987
No one is getting hurt today,
okay?
22
00:00:54,031 --> 00:00:56,381
Then tell your men outside
-to leave!
-Toby.
23
00:00:56,425 --> 00:00:57,904
I can't do that.
24
00:00:57,948 --> 00:00:59,645
Do I look like the boss?
25
00:00:59,689 --> 00:01:02,039
-Have you seen my paycheck?
-I'm serious!
26
00:01:02,083 --> 00:01:04,346
It's been 47 and a half minutes.
I say we bust in there already.
27
00:01:04,389 --> 00:01:06,174
-Of course you'd say that.
-Cut the chatter. We don't
28
00:01:06,217 --> 00:01:07,566
move in till we
hear from Knight.
29
00:01:07,610 --> 00:01:08,915
Look, Toby, Toby.
30
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,222
We've been at this
for almost an hour.
31
00:01:11,266 --> 00:01:13,746
I'm tired, you're tired.
32
00:01:13,790 --> 00:01:16,445
I know poor Tina is tired,
aren't you, babe?
33
00:01:16,488 --> 00:01:18,011
-Uh-huh.
34
00:01:18,055 --> 00:01:20,753
So why don't you just
-put the gun down?
Why?
35
00:01:20,797 --> 00:01:23,234
So you can trick me
with your government lies?!
36
00:01:23,278 --> 00:01:25,236
Can I at least get Tina
some water?
37
00:01:26,281 --> 00:01:29,936
Hell, I could use some water.
I... Is that okay?
38
00:01:31,721 --> 00:01:33,723
Yeah?
39
00:01:50,218 --> 00:01:52,568
You do the grocery shopping,
Tina?
40
00:01:52,611 --> 00:01:54,135
Uh-huh.
41
00:01:55,527 --> 00:01:56,789
Does he know?
42
00:01:56,833 --> 00:01:59,531
Know what?
What are you two talking about?
43
00:01:59,575 --> 00:02:02,752
Because if it's good news...
44
00:02:02,795 --> 00:02:05,102
now might be the time
to tell him.
45
00:02:06,930 --> 00:02:09,498
I was gonna tell him tonight...
46
00:02:09,541 --> 00:02:10,716
Tell me what?!
47
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:12,762
Toby!
48
00:02:12,805 --> 00:02:14,242
She's pregnant.
49
00:02:15,895 --> 00:02:20,161
You mean to tell me
that I'm gonna be a dad?
50
00:02:25,644 --> 00:02:26,950
Get her out of here!
51
00:02:26,993 --> 00:02:28,821
Target secure.
Sending out the hostage.
52
00:02:28,865 --> 00:02:30,519
Coming in from the back!
53
00:02:31,259 --> 00:02:33,696
-Go.
-Toby didn't
mean nothing.
54
00:02:38,222 --> 00:02:39,180
Don't hurt him!
55
00:03:22,048 --> 00:03:25,226
-Damn.
-I know.
56
00:03:28,272 --> 00:03:31,580
Hey, Jimmy.
How you holding up?
57
00:03:31,623 --> 00:03:33,016
You dread days like this.
58
00:03:33,059 --> 00:03:34,539
You know, when it's
some of your own.
59
00:03:34,583 --> 00:03:37,238
So far they've recovered the
bodies of Agents Vargas and Ono.
60
00:03:37,281 --> 00:03:39,283
And, of course,
the-the suspect.
61
00:03:39,327 --> 00:03:43,287
Still looking for Agents
Knight and, uh, Madden.
62
00:03:44,810 --> 00:03:46,334
Any chance...?
63
00:03:46,377 --> 00:03:49,511
Bishop, based on the condition
of these bodies, I...
64
00:03:49,554 --> 00:03:51,252
No one could have survived that.
65
00:03:51,295 --> 00:03:52,905
Damn it,
grab your gear and go in
66
00:03:52,949 --> 00:03:54,298
through the crawl space
if you have to.
67
00:03:54,342 --> 00:03:56,735
I want the rest of
my agents found. Go, go.
68
00:03:56,779 --> 00:03:58,650
Excuse us, Special
Agent Dalton.
69
00:03:58,694 --> 00:04:01,044
Yeah?
Agents McGee
and Torres.
70
00:04:01,087 --> 00:04:02,611
Oh, uh, Gibbs's boys, right?
71
00:04:02,654 --> 00:04:05,091
Yeah, we're-we're sorry
for your loss here.
72
00:04:05,135 --> 00:04:06,528
-Thank you.
-Mind if we ask
73
00:04:06,571 --> 00:04:07,703
how all this started?
74
00:04:07,746 --> 00:04:10,009
NCIS was called
to serve a warrant.
75
00:04:10,053 --> 00:04:13,404
The guy-- suspect was
considered high-risk,
76
00:04:13,448 --> 00:04:15,363
so the job was assigned
to my REACT team.
77
00:04:15,406 --> 00:04:18,714
We entered the house,
but the guy took a hostage.
78
00:04:18,757 --> 00:04:20,193
Per protocol,
we pulled back
79
00:04:20,237 --> 00:04:21,586
and one agent stayed inside.
80
00:04:21,630 --> 00:04:22,761
Your negotiator.
81
00:04:22,805 --> 00:04:24,415
-Agent Knight.
-Yeah.
82
00:04:24,459 --> 00:04:27,244
She took a risk in there
and it worked.
83
00:04:27,288 --> 00:04:30,508
The, uh, hostage was freed
and the suspect surrendered.
84
00:04:30,552 --> 00:04:31,509
So what went wrong?
85
00:04:32,902 --> 00:04:34,338
That's what
you need to find out.
86
00:04:34,382 --> 00:04:36,122
Excuse me. Hey!
87
00:04:36,166 --> 00:04:38,908
Hey, can I get
some more guys in here?
88
00:04:47,395 --> 00:04:49,962
-Did you guys know the agents?
I saw Madden
89
00:04:50,006 --> 00:04:52,748
and Vargas a-around a few times.
90
00:04:52,791 --> 00:04:54,576
Say "hi" to in the break room.
91
00:04:54,619 --> 00:04:56,317
You?
92
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,102
Yeah, same.
What about you, Bishop?
93
00:04:59,145 --> 00:05:00,364
I didn't know any of them.
94
00:05:00,408 --> 00:05:02,975
Feel kind of badly
about that now.
95
00:05:03,019 --> 00:05:04,890
Uniform blast radius.
96
00:05:04,934 --> 00:05:06,544
Definitely a lone device.
97
00:05:06,588 --> 00:05:07,980
But how did it go off?
98
00:05:08,024 --> 00:05:10,243
Well, no signs
of the detonator.
99
00:05:10,287 --> 00:05:12,158
It must have been destroyed
in the blast.
100
00:05:12,202 --> 00:05:14,030
Like everything else
in this place.
101
00:05:14,073 --> 00:05:16,293
Gonna take forever to process.
102
00:05:20,863 --> 00:05:22,517
Do you hear that?
103
00:05:27,870 --> 00:05:30,089
What is that?
104
00:05:33,702 --> 00:05:36,357
That's Morse code.
105
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,359
It's SOS.
106
00:05:48,369 --> 00:05:51,067
Uh, guys,
there's someone in here!
107
00:05:59,467 --> 00:06:01,251
It's Agent Knight.
108
00:06:05,081 --> 00:06:06,691
She's alive.
109
00:06:06,735 --> 00:06:08,737
-All right, let's get the
paramedics in here now!
110
00:06:16,919 --> 00:06:18,703
Uh, yeah.
I understand, sir.
111
00:06:18,747 --> 00:06:21,010
Yeah, thank you
for keeping us posted.
112
00:06:21,053 --> 00:06:22,490
-Any update on Agent Knight?
-Yeah.
113
00:06:22,533 --> 00:06:25,144
Uh, Vance said she suffered
a severe concussion.
114
00:06:25,188 --> 00:06:27,538
But they expect her
to make a full recovery.
115
00:06:27,582 --> 00:06:29,235
-Well, that's a miracle.
Yeah.
116
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:30,498
Whatever it is,
I'll take it.
117
00:06:30,541 --> 00:06:32,064
She say anything
about what happened?
118
00:06:32,108 --> 00:06:34,415
No, not yet. And doctors
are still running tests.
119
00:06:34,458 --> 00:06:36,068
So we don't know how
the bomb went off.
120
00:06:36,112 --> 00:06:38,244
And we can't talk to the
only person who can tell us.
121
00:06:38,288 --> 00:06:39,550
Well, let's start
with what we do know.
122
00:06:39,594 --> 00:06:41,422
Petty Officer Second Class
Toby Withers.
123
00:06:41,465 --> 00:06:43,815
Wanted for stealing weapons
from Naval Station Norfolk.
124
00:06:43,859 --> 00:06:45,904
REACT agents went to serve
the arrest warrant,
125
00:06:45,948 --> 00:06:47,428
and Withers took a hostage.
126
00:06:47,471 --> 00:06:49,386
But the hostage was released
and Withers surrendered.
127
00:06:49,430 --> 00:06:51,083
Until 90 seconds later
when the bomb went boom.
128
00:06:51,127 --> 00:06:52,476
Question is why.
129
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:54,739
Sure, this guy was
facing prison time.
130
00:06:54,783 --> 00:06:57,046
Yeah, but enough to blow himself
to kingdom come?
131
00:06:57,089 --> 00:06:59,527
Unless it wasn't about him.
When I was working undercover,
132
00:06:59,570 --> 00:07:02,268
I saw this guy
selling bootleg DVDs.
133
00:07:02,312 --> 00:07:04,401
Then he jumped off a
ten-story building.
134
00:07:04,445 --> 00:07:05,750
It made absolutely no sense.
135
00:07:05,794 --> 00:07:07,970
But then we found heroin
136
00:07:08,013 --> 00:07:09,450
in the DVD cases.
137
00:07:09,493 --> 00:07:11,060
You think our bomber
might be up to something bigger
138
00:07:11,103 --> 00:07:12,540
than stolen weapons.
139
00:07:12,583 --> 00:07:14,324
Yeah, we need to get the
case notes and speak
140
00:07:14,367 --> 00:07:15,586
to the agent in charge.
141
00:07:15,630 --> 00:07:17,719
Dalton.
The guy barking orders, uh,
142
00:07:17,762 --> 00:07:18,850
at the crime scene.
143
00:07:18,894 --> 00:07:20,461
Reminds me of someone.
144
00:07:25,030 --> 00:07:26,205
Hello?
145
00:07:26,249 --> 00:07:28,599
Hey! I'm down here.
146
00:07:28,643 --> 00:07:32,734
Oh. Thanks for agreeing
to sit-- Whoa.
147
00:07:32,777 --> 00:07:34,387
That's a boat.
148
00:07:34,431 --> 00:07:37,086
You have a boat
in your basement?
149
00:07:38,043 --> 00:07:39,784
Where else am I gonna put it?
150
00:07:42,657 --> 00:07:43,745
You wanted to meet?
151
00:07:43,788 --> 00:07:45,660
Yeah. Um...
152
00:07:46,661 --> 00:07:48,663
Oh, first, um,
153
00:07:48,706 --> 00:07:51,535
I read about
the fallen NCIS agents.
154
00:07:51,579 --> 00:07:55,713
And I-I wanted to offer
my sincere condolences.
155
00:07:55,757 --> 00:07:57,367
Thanks.
156
00:07:57,410 --> 00:07:59,064
Sure.
157
00:08:00,326 --> 00:08:03,678
I also, um, wanted to check on
158
00:08:03,721 --> 00:08:05,549
the file that I...
159
00:08:06,855 --> 00:08:08,944
...that, um, I gave you.
160
00:08:08,987 --> 00:08:11,294
-Did you read it?
-Yeah.
161
00:08:11,337 --> 00:08:12,730
Well, what did you think?
162
00:08:17,866 --> 00:08:19,911
Feel free to use words.
163
00:08:19,955 --> 00:08:24,133
This was a murder case that
happened about a year ago.
164
00:08:24,176 --> 00:08:26,004
Any thoughts about that?
165
00:08:26,048 --> 00:08:28,877
I mean, you are
a detective.
166
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:30,139
Suspended, but...
167
00:08:30,182 --> 00:08:31,183
Police got the guy.
168
00:08:31,227 --> 00:08:33,316
-What?
-They got the guy.
169
00:08:33,359 --> 00:08:36,188
No. I think they got
the wrong guy.
170
00:08:36,232 --> 00:08:38,408
Did you not--
did you...
171
00:08:38,451 --> 00:08:42,194
Did you not see
this photograph?
172
00:08:42,238 --> 00:08:44,414
This is the guy
they think did it.
173
00:08:44,457 --> 00:08:46,764
Except this guy was in Arlington
174
00:08:46,808 --> 00:08:50,028
when the murder was in Westlawn,
four miles away.
175
00:08:50,072 --> 00:08:52,901
-Four and a half.
-Okay.
176
00:08:52,944 --> 00:08:54,642
So how could this guy
177
00:08:54,685 --> 00:08:59,385
travel four and a half miles
in 20 minutes, on foot,
178
00:08:59,429 --> 00:09:03,825
with 1.5 milligrams of
methamphetamine in his system?
179
00:09:03,868 --> 00:09:06,175
It's not my case.
180
00:09:06,218 --> 00:09:08,873
It could be.
181
00:09:08,917 --> 00:09:12,224
The cops have put this thing
to bed and moved on.
182
00:09:12,268 --> 00:09:15,227
So that means the killer
is still out there.
183
00:09:15,271 --> 00:09:19,101
I want you to help me find him.
184
00:09:19,144 --> 00:09:20,581
Why?
185
00:09:23,453 --> 00:09:27,065
Well, I thought we established
that truth and justice,
186
00:09:27,109 --> 00:09:29,590
uh, are how you roll.
187
00:09:29,633 --> 00:09:31,766
We're not talking about me.
188
00:09:31,809 --> 00:09:35,726
Oh. Okay.
189
00:09:35,770 --> 00:09:39,251
I knew the murder victim.
Hannah.
190
00:09:40,426 --> 00:09:43,604
She was, she was
my childhood best friend.
191
00:09:43,647 --> 00:09:47,172
We lived four houses away
from each other.
192
00:09:47,216 --> 00:09:51,307
So, if you're wondering if this
is personal for me, it is.
193
00:09:51,350 --> 00:09:52,613
But I know
194
00:09:52,656 --> 00:09:55,877
that there is more
to this case.
195
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,401
And I'm pretty sure you do, too.
196
00:10:10,021 --> 00:10:11,980
Thanks for coming up here.
197
00:10:12,023 --> 00:10:14,678
It's the last place on the
Navy Yard where I can smoke.
198
00:10:14,722 --> 00:10:16,027
Well, thanks for
taking the time.
199
00:10:16,071 --> 00:10:17,463
Of course.
You know,
200
00:10:17,507 --> 00:10:18,987
I'm going over and over it
again in my head,
201
00:10:19,030 --> 00:10:22,338
trying to figure out
how this happened to my team.
202
00:10:22,381 --> 00:10:23,600
Did you talk
to Knight yet?
203
00:10:23,644 --> 00:10:25,602
They're not allowing visitors
right now.
204
00:10:25,646 --> 00:10:28,126
They wouldn't let me
see her, either.
205
00:10:28,170 --> 00:10:29,998
I recruited her, you know.
206
00:10:30,041 --> 00:10:31,521
Straight out of FLETC.
207
00:10:31,564 --> 00:10:34,002
Promised her the job would
never get boring.
208
00:10:34,045 --> 00:10:36,091
What can you tell us
about Petty Officer Withers?
209
00:10:36,134 --> 00:10:37,440
Real piece of work.
210
00:10:37,483 --> 00:10:39,137
The guy was bragging
to his bunkmates
211
00:10:39,181 --> 00:10:43,098
about stealing weapons for
some backwoods militia group.
212
00:10:43,141 --> 00:10:45,143
-Aka white supremacists.
-Bingo.
213
00:10:45,187 --> 00:10:46,928
They encourage their members
to enlist
214
00:10:46,971 --> 00:10:50,279
in order to gain tactical skills
and experience.
215
00:10:50,322 --> 00:10:51,759
And stealing weapons.
216
00:10:51,802 --> 00:10:54,500
His CO confronted Withers,
he went totally off grid.
217
00:10:54,544 --> 00:10:56,328
Took us three weeks to find him.
218
00:10:56,372 --> 00:10:57,808
-How did you find him?
-Got a tip
219
00:10:57,852 --> 00:11:00,506
on the NCIS hotline
saying he was shacked up
220
00:11:00,550 --> 00:11:02,204
with an old girlfriend.
221
00:11:02,247 --> 00:11:04,336
Does this tip have
a, have a name?
222
00:11:04,380 --> 00:11:05,511
Anonymous.
223
00:11:05,555 --> 00:11:07,557
But agents surveilled the house
224
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:09,559
and verified it was legit.
225
00:11:09,602 --> 00:11:12,649
Was there anything to suggest
that Withers or his group
226
00:11:12,693 --> 00:11:14,738
were maybe into something else?
227
00:11:14,782 --> 00:11:16,522
Yeah, like,
something bigger than guns?
228
00:11:16,566 --> 00:11:19,743
Meaning did we know he was
gonna set off a damn bomb?
229
00:11:20,831 --> 00:11:22,137
Of course
we didn't.
230
00:11:22,180 --> 00:11:24,705
'Cause if we did,
I never would've sent Knight,
231
00:11:24,748 --> 00:11:27,620
or any of my agents,
into that house.
232
00:11:32,756 --> 00:11:35,019
Hey, Kase, I got your text.
Why are we meeting down here?
233
00:11:35,063 --> 00:11:36,368
Bomb parts.
234
00:11:36,412 --> 00:11:37,935
Uh, wouldn't that
be in your lab?
235
00:11:37,979 --> 00:11:39,720
If only wishing made it so.
236
00:11:39,763 --> 00:11:41,852
This is our bomber,
Petty Officer Withers.
237
00:11:41,896 --> 00:11:44,681
And these are the bomb parts
melted to his flesh.
238
00:11:44,725 --> 00:11:46,204
Oof. Uh, okay.
239
00:11:46,248 --> 00:11:49,860
What happened? Was he wearing
the bomb when it went off?
240
00:11:49,904 --> 00:11:51,340
Mm, uh, no.
241
00:11:51,383 --> 00:11:54,430
If that were the case, his body
would be in tiny pieces.
242
00:11:54,473 --> 00:11:56,432
Instead of tiny pieces
being in his body.
243
00:11:56,475 --> 00:11:58,521
See, what happened
was the bomb went off
244
00:11:58,564 --> 00:12:00,044
and sent white-hot
bomb parts flying
245
00:12:00,088 --> 00:12:02,743
across the room and
when they hit his body,
246
00:12:02,786 --> 00:12:05,093
they instantly fused with
his dermis and his spine.
247
00:12:05,136 --> 00:12:06,659
So, how does it help our case?
248
00:12:06,703 --> 00:12:07,922
Well, it can help and hurt.
249
00:12:07,965 --> 00:12:09,271
Upon closer inspection--
250
00:12:09,314 --> 00:12:10,751
mostly done by Jimmy--
251
00:12:10,794 --> 00:12:13,754
I noticed the bomb parts
-were made by a 3
-D printer.
252
00:12:13,797 --> 00:12:14,885
Clever.
253
00:12:14,929 --> 00:12:16,234
Ah, too clever.
254
00:12:16,278 --> 00:12:17,758
We're talking
-about 3
-D printers
255
00:12:17,801 --> 00:12:20,238
on sale at Best Buy for $99.
256
00:12:20,282 --> 00:12:21,762
Anybody can make these parts.
257
00:12:21,805 --> 00:12:23,111
Mm, guessing
that's the "hurt" part.
258
00:12:23,154 --> 00:12:24,939
Yeah. There's no way
to track who made it.
259
00:12:24,982 --> 00:12:26,027
How was it detonated?
260
00:12:26,070 --> 00:12:27,506
That's the part that can help.
261
00:12:27,550 --> 00:12:31,075
This is what's left of a
long-range RFID receiver.
262
00:12:31,119 --> 00:12:34,339
This bomb was detonated
by a cell phone app.
263
00:12:34,383 --> 00:12:36,777
There is an app for everything.
264
00:12:40,737 --> 00:12:41,869
Hello?
265
00:12:45,176 --> 00:12:46,482
Where's Agent Knight?
266
00:12:46,525 --> 00:12:49,790
I don't know.
They said she was here.
267
00:12:51,835 --> 00:12:53,402
Agent Knight?
268
00:12:53,445 --> 00:12:55,404
Need a little private time.
Come back later.
269
00:12:55,447 --> 00:12:57,449
Oh, okay, uh,
we'll just wait in the hall.
270
00:12:57,493 --> 00:12:59,016
Wait.
271
00:13:00,322 --> 00:13:01,671
NCIS?
272
00:13:01,714 --> 00:13:03,934
Uh, yeah, Agents
Bishop and Torres.
273
00:13:03,978 --> 00:13:05,370
Is everything all right?
274
00:13:06,371 --> 00:13:07,546
Thank God.
275
00:13:07,590 --> 00:13:10,419
I thought you
were the nurse.
276
00:13:11,463 --> 00:13:13,639
Have you been
cleared to go home?
277
00:13:13,683 --> 00:13:16,947
Not going home.
I'm going to NCIS.
278
00:13:16,991 --> 00:13:18,644
My team is dead
and I need to know why.
279
00:13:18,688 --> 00:13:19,994
That's actually
why we're here.
280
00:13:20,037 --> 00:13:21,299
We have a few questions
about what happened.
281
00:13:21,343 --> 00:13:22,953
Cool. We can talk in the car.
282
00:13:22,997 --> 00:13:25,390
Kind of in the middle
of a prison break here.
283
00:13:26,827 --> 00:13:28,959
H-- uh...
284
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:31,309
Nurse Janeway.
285
00:13:31,353 --> 00:13:33,224
This is not what you think.
286
00:13:33,268 --> 00:13:34,312
Mm-hmm.
287
00:13:34,356 --> 00:13:35,313
This time.
288
00:13:35,357 --> 00:13:36,662
Get back in bed.
289
00:13:36,706 --> 00:13:38,316
Don't make me say it twice.
290
00:13:39,752 --> 00:13:41,493
And you two are on my list now.
291
00:13:41,537 --> 00:13:42,668
Great.
292
00:13:45,062 --> 00:13:46,977
The doctor said
you have five minutes.
293
00:13:47,021 --> 00:13:48,587
That's it.
294
00:13:50,372 --> 00:13:54,332
Well, Agents Bishop, Torres,
295
00:13:54,376 --> 00:13:56,465
looks like
we're talking in here.
296
00:13:56,508 --> 00:13:59,033
We think we know
how the explosive was detonated.
297
00:13:59,076 --> 00:14:00,861
Well, that was quick.
298
00:14:00,904 --> 00:14:03,298
Well, we need your confirmation.
We think Petty Officer Withers
299
00:14:03,341 --> 00:14:04,647
used a cell phone app.
300
00:14:04,690 --> 00:14:06,344
Did you see him
using a phone or...
301
00:14:06,388 --> 00:14:08,912
Wait. You think Toby set it off?
302
00:14:08,956 --> 00:14:10,392
Is that a problem?
303
00:14:10,435 --> 00:14:13,090
For a couple of reasons.
304
00:14:13,134 --> 00:14:15,527
First of all,
Toby hated cell phones.
305
00:14:15,571 --> 00:14:17,138
He kept going on about
how the government
306
00:14:17,181 --> 00:14:18,704
uses them to brainwash people.
307
00:14:18,748 --> 00:14:21,533
And second, he was handcuffed
by three REACT agents
308
00:14:21,577 --> 00:14:23,013
when the bomb detonated.
309
00:14:23,057 --> 00:14:24,058
Are you sure about that?
310
00:14:24,928 --> 00:14:26,147
Look, I know I hit my head
311
00:14:26,190 --> 00:14:28,236
and things are still
a little fuzzy.
312
00:14:28,279 --> 00:14:30,368
But I know what I saw.
313
00:14:30,412 --> 00:14:32,327
Toby didn't set off
a damn thing.
314
00:14:32,370 --> 00:14:36,635
Well, if he didn't detonate
that bomb, who did?
315
00:14:36,679 --> 00:14:37,898
I was hoping you'd tell me.
316
00:14:46,167 --> 00:14:48,386
So, Toby didn't
detonate the bomb?
317
00:14:48,430 --> 00:14:49,953
Not according to Knight.
318
00:14:49,997 --> 00:14:52,825
She said he didn't have a phone
or the opportunity to use one.
319
00:14:52,869 --> 00:14:54,436
I don't understand. Was
someone else in the house?
320
00:14:54,479 --> 00:14:57,439
No, which is why Knight thinks
it was triggered remotely.
321
00:14:57,482 --> 00:14:59,310
So if Toby wasn't the bomber...
322
00:14:59,354 --> 00:15:02,444
-He was the target.
-So we're thinking the
killer called the tip line
323
00:15:02,487 --> 00:15:04,185
to have REACT do the dirty work.
324
00:15:04,228 --> 00:15:07,188
But when they found out
Toby was being taken alive,
325
00:15:07,231 --> 00:15:08,450
they went to plan B.
326
00:15:08,493 --> 00:15:10,582
Remote trigger,
the place goes up.
327
00:15:10,626 --> 00:15:12,584
Whoever wanted Toby dead
wanted it bad.
328
00:15:12,628 --> 00:15:14,978
Lot of work for one guy.
329
00:15:15,022 --> 00:15:16,197
Hey.
330
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:17,459
Hi.
331
00:15:19,243 --> 00:15:20,244
How's it going?
332
00:15:20,288 --> 00:15:21,854
Mm...
333
00:15:22,594 --> 00:15:24,205
Give me the rundown.
334
00:15:25,858 --> 00:15:29,601
Oh, I got cleared
to leave the hospital.
335
00:15:31,299 --> 00:15:32,909
I swear.
336
00:15:35,433 --> 00:15:37,392
Can I use that desk?
337
00:15:37,435 --> 00:15:39,089
Ooh...
Uh...
338
00:15:39,133 --> 00:15:40,612
Sorry, Agent Knight?
339
00:15:40,656 --> 00:15:42,092
Uh, just call me Jessica.
340
00:15:42,136 --> 00:15:44,138
Or Jess. Or Knight.
Or whatever you want.
341
00:15:44,181 --> 00:15:46,879
Okay, I-I think
there's been a mistake here.
342
00:15:46,923 --> 00:15:48,664
Oof. You ever get that thing
where your sock
343
00:15:48,707 --> 00:15:50,535
is all weird
inside of your shoe?
344
00:15:50,579 --> 00:15:51,972
I got dressedso quick
345
00:15:52,015 --> 00:15:53,669
-at the hospital.
-I just spoke
with the director.
346
00:15:53,712 --> 00:15:55,671
He said that you were
taking time off.
347
00:15:55,714 --> 00:15:56,846
See, that's what
he told me to do.
348
00:15:56,889 --> 00:15:58,369
That's not what I'm doing.
349
00:15:58,413 --> 00:15:59,980
Oh, come on.
350
00:16:00,023 --> 00:16:01,938
If any one of you
lost any one of you,
351
00:16:01,982 --> 00:16:04,071
would you just go home
and cry on your couch?
352
00:16:06,464 --> 00:16:07,509
I'm actually pretty good
at this.
353
00:16:07,552 --> 00:16:09,467
And you have a spare desk here.
354
00:16:09,511 --> 00:16:11,469
Oh, yeah,
so this is not a spare.
355
00:16:11,513 --> 00:16:13,732
This is, um...
356
00:16:16,170 --> 00:16:17,475
It's complicated.
357
00:16:17,519 --> 00:16:19,042
Yeah, we appreciate
the offer,
358
00:16:19,086 --> 00:16:22,524
but we really need to talk
to Director Vance first.
359
00:16:26,180 --> 00:16:27,050
Uh,
360
00:16:27,094 --> 00:16:29,270
that bat, that's not for people.
361
00:16:29,313 --> 00:16:30,401
Uh, mm-mm.
362
00:16:30,445 --> 00:16:32,012
It's complicated.
363
00:16:35,493 --> 00:16:36,886
Okay.
364
00:16:39,323 --> 00:16:40,977
Give me 72 hours.
365
00:16:41,021 --> 00:16:43,719
If I don't help you
produce results,
366
00:16:43,762 --> 00:16:45,503
I'll go cry on my couch.
367
00:16:46,591 --> 00:16:49,072
Tell you what, I'll give you
24 hours, but that's it.
368
00:16:49,116 --> 00:16:53,381
72 hours, the use of this desk
and all your resources.
369
00:16:53,424 --> 00:16:54,686
24 hours,
370
00:16:54,730 --> 00:16:56,601
resources, no desk.
371
00:16:56,645 --> 00:16:58,560
48, resources, desk.
372
00:16:58,603 --> 00:17:00,475
48, resources, no desk.
373
00:17:00,518 --> 00:17:02,738
Done.
374
00:17:04,348 --> 00:17:05,828
Be right down, Kase.
375
00:17:05,871 --> 00:17:07,090
I will go with you,
376
00:17:07,134 --> 00:17:09,310
being how I have nowhere
to sit.
377
00:17:09,353 --> 00:17:11,094
Uh, hey, the bat?
378
00:17:11,138 --> 00:17:13,662
Oh.
379
00:17:13,705 --> 00:17:17,492
Oh. Oh, that's Gibbs's desk
380
00:17:17,535 --> 00:17:19,407
Mm.
381
00:17:19,450 --> 00:17:20,625
I'm so sorry.
382
00:17:20,669 --> 00:17:22,758
It's all good.
383
00:17:25,456 --> 00:17:29,112
50 bucks says she wasn't
cleared to leave the hospital.
384
00:17:30,026 --> 00:17:32,724
Hey, Kase.
You know Agent Knight here.
385
00:17:32,768 --> 00:17:36,902
Jess. Oh, thank God you're okay.
386
00:17:36,946 --> 00:17:39,775
And I am so sorry for your loss.
387
00:17:39,818 --> 00:17:40,906
Thanks, Kase.
388
00:17:40,950 --> 00:17:42,299
Knight is going to be joining us
389
00:17:42,343 --> 00:17:43,735
on our investigation.
390
00:17:43,779 --> 00:17:44,910
Of course she is.
What else would she do?
391
00:17:44,954 --> 00:17:46,825
Go home and cry on her couch?
392
00:17:46,869 --> 00:17:48,784
Yeah, uh, what-what
do we got here?
393
00:17:48,827 --> 00:17:50,829
Well, I'm trying to
figure out the cell app
394
00:17:50,873 --> 00:17:52,831
that set off the bomb.
395
00:17:52,875 --> 00:17:54,790
Using the REACT gear?
396
00:17:54,833 --> 00:17:57,358
Yep. REACT is part
of a pilot program.
397
00:17:57,401 --> 00:17:59,664
They're testing a
line of body armor.
398
00:17:59,708 --> 00:18:01,536
Using LED lights,
399
00:18:01,579 --> 00:18:03,581
-an X-2
-R solar charger,
400
00:18:03,625 --> 00:18:05,235
CO2 detectors. Nice.
401
00:18:05,279 --> 00:18:06,932
And a built-in receiver
that detects
402
00:18:06,976 --> 00:18:08,586
nearby radio frequencies.
403
00:18:08,630 --> 00:18:10,110
-Any chance it can tell
us what cellular signals
404
00:18:10,153 --> 00:18:12,155
were in the room
when the bomb went off?
405
00:18:12,199 --> 00:18:14,723
It could,
if the data wasn't encoded
406
00:18:14,766 --> 00:18:16,768
in a propriety software
407
00:18:16,812 --> 00:18:18,814
only accessible
by the manufacturer.
408
00:18:18,857 --> 00:18:20,250
Kessler Gear Systems?
409
00:18:20,294 --> 00:18:21,991
Talk to them, get the tech
manual for the device,
410
00:18:22,034 --> 00:18:23,775
maybe that'll get us somewhere.
411
00:18:23,819 --> 00:18:26,038
Nice. Thanks, Kase.
412
00:18:26,082 --> 00:18:27,866
Knight, you coming?
413
00:18:27,910 --> 00:18:29,303
I only have 48 hours.
414
00:18:29,346 --> 00:18:31,174
Reading manuals
isn't my thing.
415
00:18:56,417 --> 00:18:58,549
Making new friends, huh?
416
00:18:58,593 --> 00:19:00,203
Old one.
417
00:19:00,247 --> 00:19:02,771
-MPD, retired.
-Hmm.
418
00:19:02,814 --> 00:19:04,773
He brought you a present?
419
00:19:06,775 --> 00:19:08,211
So did you.
420
00:19:08,255 --> 00:19:11,780
Well, I thought you might
be missing it.
421
00:19:11,823 --> 00:19:13,912
The bat, that is.
422
00:19:17,307 --> 00:19:19,091
What?
423
00:19:21,006 --> 00:19:23,792
You tell me, Bishop.
424
00:19:23,835 --> 00:19:26,229
You called for a meet.
425
00:19:26,273 --> 00:19:27,752
What's on your mind?
426
00:19:27,796 --> 00:19:30,494
Um...
427
00:19:30,538 --> 00:19:32,017
you heard about the REACT team.
428
00:19:32,061 --> 00:19:33,889
-Mm-hmm.
-So what do you think?
429
00:19:33,932 --> 00:19:36,239
-I'm trying not to.
-You know, Agent Knight,
430
00:19:36,283 --> 00:19:38,546
she, uh, she lost everyone,
her whole team.
431
00:19:38,589 --> 00:19:39,721
Just like that, gone.
432
00:19:39,764 --> 00:19:42,114
Makes you think,
433
00:19:42,158 --> 00:19:43,812
was it worth it?
434
00:19:44,769 --> 00:19:46,293
Think you'd have to ask her.
435
00:19:47,642 --> 00:19:50,384
No, Gibbs, I'm...
436
00:19:50,427 --> 00:19:52,429
I'm asking you.
437
00:19:52,473 --> 00:19:55,084
Was it worth it?
438
00:19:55,867 --> 00:19:58,740
Doing what you did,
439
00:19:58,783 --> 00:20:01,351
getting suspended, was...
440
00:20:01,395 --> 00:20:03,397
was it worth it?
441
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:10,317
Some things, Bishop,
they have a cost.
442
00:20:13,015 --> 00:20:15,931
You still got to get it done.
443
00:20:15,974 --> 00:20:21,328
Was it worth losing... us?
444
00:20:24,983 --> 00:20:26,898
I don't know.
445
00:20:30,337 --> 00:20:32,077
I don't know.
446
00:20:38,214 --> 00:20:40,521
I got to tell you, Mr. Kessler,
when your company
447
00:20:40,564 --> 00:20:43,001
offered to send someone over
to decode the smart armor,
448
00:20:43,045 --> 00:20:45,265
I was expecting one of
your techies, not the CEO.
449
00:20:45,308 --> 00:20:48,442
I'm still a techie
at heart, Agent McGee.
450
00:20:48,485 --> 00:20:53,490
I started Kessler Gear Systems
on a workbench in my basement.
451
00:20:53,534 --> 00:20:54,970
It's my baby.
452
00:20:55,013 --> 00:20:57,842
Plus, I owe NCIS a lot.
453
00:20:57,886 --> 00:20:59,366
-Because of the pilot program?
-Thanks to feedback
454
00:20:59,409 --> 00:21:01,803
from REACT, we're about to close
a government contract
455
00:21:01,846 --> 00:21:04,196
on a whole new line of armor.
456
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:05,285
Congrats.
457
00:21:05,328 --> 00:21:07,112
And you're welcome.
458
00:21:07,156 --> 00:21:09,158
He, don't worry.
Part of the deal is making sure
459
00:21:09,201 --> 00:21:11,465
that, from here on out,
we provide NCIS
460
00:21:11,508 --> 00:21:14,598
with as much gear
and tech support as they need.
461
00:21:14,642 --> 00:21:15,904
Nice.
462
00:21:17,079 --> 00:21:20,212
It looks like
the data packet is intact.
463
00:21:23,085 --> 00:21:25,217
Yep. Our body armor
only picked up one RFID signal
464
00:21:25,261 --> 00:21:27,219
at the time of the explosion.
465
00:21:27,263 --> 00:21:30,092
Oh. Really?
One, that's it?
466
00:21:31,398 --> 00:21:33,008
What else do you need?
467
00:21:33,051 --> 00:21:35,358
Well, it's not like you can
tell me the device ID
468
00:21:35,402 --> 00:21:37,055
of the phone
that sent the signal.
469
00:21:37,099 --> 00:21:39,144
-Want to bet?
-Wait, seriously?
470
00:21:41,408 --> 00:21:42,931
Well, this is fantastic.
Now we can now ping the phone
471
00:21:42,974 --> 00:21:44,411
to get the location.
472
00:21:46,456 --> 00:21:47,718
That's it?
473
00:21:47,762 --> 00:21:49,503
According to McGee's ping,
474
00:21:49,546 --> 00:21:52,897
the phone that set off
the bomb is inside that RV.
475
00:21:54,551 --> 00:21:56,640
I'm only getting heat
signatures from a microwave
476
00:21:56,684 --> 00:21:58,076
and mini-fridge.
477
00:21:58,120 --> 00:21:59,687
No explosive devices.
478
00:21:59,730 --> 00:22:01,689
What about people?
479
00:22:01,732 --> 00:22:04,779
Only one. Asleep on the couch.
480
00:22:04,822 --> 00:22:06,868
Yeah, well, backup
should be here soon.
481
00:22:09,653 --> 00:22:12,264
It's funny.
482
00:22:12,308 --> 00:22:13,788
Huh?
483
00:22:13,831 --> 00:22:16,486
Well, I just thought
that two trained agents
484
00:22:16,530 --> 00:22:20,229
against one sleeping RV owner
were pretty good odds.
485
00:22:22,318 --> 00:22:23,711
They are.
486
00:22:23,754 --> 00:22:26,278
So.... let's move in.
487
00:22:26,322 --> 00:22:28,324
See? That's why we
should never be partners.
488
00:22:28,368 --> 00:22:30,587
-Why not?
-Because you can't have
two attack dogs.
489
00:22:30,631 --> 00:22:33,024
Someone's got to hold the leash.
490
00:22:36,027 --> 00:22:38,595
But we do have the
element of surprise.
Mm-hmm.
491
00:22:38,639 --> 00:22:41,946
And if we wait, I mean,
he could wake up and run.
492
00:22:41,990 --> 00:22:44,862
-Or worse.
-Or worse.
493
00:22:48,823 --> 00:22:51,129
Oh, she's a bad influence.
494
00:22:51,173 --> 00:22:53,828
All right, you take the
back, I'll take the front.
495
00:22:58,702 --> 00:23:00,965
Park ranger!
496
00:23:05,230 --> 00:23:07,450
We need you need
to move your vehicle!
497
00:23:11,672 --> 00:23:14,631
-Back was all clear.
-What about the guy on the couch?
498
00:23:14,675 --> 00:23:16,938
He wasn't sleeping.
499
00:23:20,985 --> 00:23:22,291
Saw him through the window.
500
00:23:22,334 --> 00:23:23,858
Same window I crawled through.
501
00:23:24,902 --> 00:23:27,470
His body was still warm enough
to give us a thermal reading.
502
00:23:27,514 --> 00:23:28,993
Can't be dead long.
503
00:23:29,037 --> 00:23:31,039
Yeah, whoever did it
was in a hurry.
504
00:23:38,350 --> 00:23:40,701
Hey, did you know this dead guy?
505
00:23:40,744 --> 00:23:42,485
His face doesn't ring a bell.
506
00:23:42,529 --> 00:23:44,182
Why?
507
00:23:44,226 --> 00:23:46,228
Because he knew you.
508
00:23:48,012 --> 00:23:50,188
This guy wasn't trying
to blow Toby up.
509
00:23:50,232 --> 00:23:51,233
No.
510
00:23:51,276 --> 00:23:53,278
He was after your whole team.
511
00:24:02,113 --> 00:24:04,202
Petty Officer Withers'
murder was a head-fake.
512
00:24:04,246 --> 00:24:05,856
He was never the target.
513
00:24:05,900 --> 00:24:08,250
Somebody planted a bomb, then
called in an anonymous tip.
514
00:24:08,293 --> 00:24:10,208
You know
what happened next.
515
00:24:10,252 --> 00:24:12,515
My team was the real
target all along.
516
00:24:12,559 --> 00:24:14,474
-Who did the aiming?
-We know who planted the bomb.
517
00:24:14,517 --> 00:24:16,476
Richie Soren,
ex-felon.
518
00:24:16,519 --> 00:24:18,434
Convicted for everything
from check forging
519
00:24:18,478 --> 00:24:20,436
to armed robbery. Lovely guy.
520
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:22,525
We found a closet
full of bomb-making materials.
521
00:24:22,569 --> 00:24:24,092
Also a wire transfer
for 20 grand.
522
00:24:24,135 --> 00:24:25,485
Do the math.
523
00:24:25,528 --> 00:24:28,400
-He was a gun-for-hire.
Hired, then fired.
524
00:24:28,444 --> 00:24:30,751
We're thinking the mad bomber's
boss was cleaning up loose ends.
525
00:24:30,794 --> 00:24:32,753
Any idea who that boss might be?
526
00:24:32,796 --> 00:24:34,319
Kasie is, uh, back-tracing
the transfer now.
527
00:24:34,363 --> 00:24:35,756
But it's gonna take some time.
528
00:24:35,799 --> 00:24:37,279
I've been racking my brain
trying to figure out
529
00:24:37,322 --> 00:24:39,368
who REACT pissed off enough
to want us dead.
530
00:24:39,411 --> 00:24:41,413
And?
531
00:24:41,457 --> 00:24:43,590
Long list.
532
00:24:43,633 --> 00:24:45,505
Agent Knight, I'm gonna
recommend protective custody.
533
00:24:45,548 --> 00:24:48,246
If the killer's goal was
to take out the REACT agents--
534
00:24:48,290 --> 00:24:49,639
I'm not going into hiding.
535
00:24:50,727 --> 00:24:52,207
Agent Knight...
536
00:24:52,250 --> 00:24:54,122
Let's not do this.
537
00:24:56,298 --> 00:24:58,822
I can take care of myself.
538
00:24:58,866 --> 00:25:01,869
And I need to know
what happened to my team.
539
00:25:09,267 --> 00:25:11,226
Or...
540
00:25:11,269 --> 00:25:14,229
we can argue about it
for the next ten minutes?
541
00:25:17,014 --> 00:25:18,581
Okay.
542
00:25:18,625 --> 00:25:20,365
Just watch your back.
543
00:25:24,239 --> 00:25:26,371
I appreciate you coming
to my side of town.
544
00:25:26,415 --> 00:25:29,374
I rent this space from
the furniture store downstairs.
545
00:25:29,418 --> 00:25:31,986
But the best part is
there is the greatest
546
00:25:32,029 --> 00:25:34,554
little café next door,
and it's fantast--
547
00:25:34,597 --> 00:25:35,729
Oh! Oh, no, no, no.
548
00:25:35,772 --> 00:25:37,208
No. Shoes off.
549
00:25:37,252 --> 00:25:38,427
What?
550
00:25:38,470 --> 00:25:40,777
Shoes off! I'm serious.
551
00:25:41,996 --> 00:25:43,345
I'm...
552
00:25:43,388 --> 00:25:45,042
Oh, God.
553
00:25:45,086 --> 00:25:48,002
This board is where,
where I keep all
554
00:25:48,045 --> 00:25:50,265
of my information
on Hannah's murder.
555
00:25:50,308 --> 00:25:52,702
I wasn't expecting
to hear from you so soon
556
00:25:52,746 --> 00:25:55,313
after our conversation
in the basement.
557
00:25:55,357 --> 00:25:56,880
On the phone
you said
558
00:25:56,924 --> 00:25:59,013
you found something new?
559
00:26:01,102 --> 00:26:03,931
Red duct tape? What does
this have to do with...
560
00:26:03,974 --> 00:26:06,629
It was on her mouth,
her wrists and her ankles.
561
00:26:07,674 --> 00:26:09,371
She-she was bound?
562
00:26:12,722 --> 00:26:14,637
She was hog-tied.
563
00:26:16,334 --> 00:26:18,946
Sorry.
564
00:26:20,382 --> 00:26:21,949
Where did you get this?
565
00:26:21,992 --> 00:26:24,081
I mean, I-I haven't seen this.
566
00:26:24,125 --> 00:26:26,910
-The police.
-It wasn't in their files.
567
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:30,740
They kept it out.
568
00:26:30,784 --> 00:26:33,308
Probably to throw
off the press and...
569
00:26:33,351 --> 00:26:35,963
eliminate copycats.
570
00:26:36,006 --> 00:26:38,574
Um, was this, um...
571
00:26:38,618 --> 00:26:40,968
hog-tying done before...
572
00:26:41,011 --> 00:26:43,448
Beaten to death
with a hammer?
Oh.
573
00:26:43,492 --> 00:26:45,146
And her body was dumped?
574
00:26:46,538 --> 00:26:48,758
Yeah.
575
00:26:49,541 --> 00:26:50,586
You okay?
576
00:26:57,724 --> 00:26:59,943
Wait a minute.
577
00:26:59,987 --> 00:27:02,076
I've seen this before.
578
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:04,165
But not about Hannah.
579
00:27:04,208 --> 00:27:06,341
I did an article
580
00:27:06,384 --> 00:27:07,908
quite a while ago
581
00:27:07,951 --> 00:27:09,736
on the rising crime
582
00:27:09,779 --> 00:27:11,346
in the suburbs.
I remember
583
00:27:11,389 --> 00:27:13,391
this red duct tape thing
from another case.
584
00:27:16,656 --> 00:27:18,309
Make yourself useful.
585
00:27:27,884 --> 00:27:29,886
Ah, here it is!
586
00:27:29,930 --> 00:27:32,715
Here it is. I knew
I was right about this tape.
587
00:27:33,498 --> 00:27:36,197
Brian Stafford.
Found dead seven months ago
588
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:38,765
in a small town
in upstate New York.
589
00:27:38,808 --> 00:27:40,854
Bound with red duct tape
590
00:27:40,897 --> 00:27:43,465
and bludgeoned to death.
591
00:27:43,508 --> 00:27:45,249
With a hammer?
Yep.
592
00:27:46,773 --> 00:27:49,036
Huh.
593
00:27:51,821 --> 00:27:53,997
Would you maybe like a napkin?
594
00:27:55,564 --> 00:27:57,392
Uh...
595
00:27:57,435 --> 00:27:59,263
No.
596
00:27:59,307 --> 00:28:01,352
I'm good.
597
00:28:09,099 --> 00:28:12,929
So... we have
my friend, Hannah,
598
00:28:12,973 --> 00:28:14,888
in Virginia.
599
00:28:14,931 --> 00:28:16,977
Brian Stafford from New York.
600
00:28:17,020 --> 00:28:18,979
Both bound in red tape.
601
00:28:19,022 --> 00:28:21,808
And both bludgeoned
to death with a hammer.
602
00:28:21,851 --> 00:28:23,940
I don't think
this is a coincidence.
603
00:28:23,984 --> 00:28:25,333
No such thing.
604
00:28:25,376 --> 00:28:27,683
What, did you find
something else?
605
00:28:27,727 --> 00:28:29,467
Someone else.
606
00:28:29,511 --> 00:28:30,730
Laura Blankenship found
607
00:28:30,773 --> 00:28:32,296
dead in the Outer Banks.
608
00:28:32,340 --> 00:28:34,777
But this doesn't say
anything about red tape.
609
00:28:34,821 --> 00:28:36,387
Yeah, but look
at the wound pattern.
610
00:28:36,431 --> 00:28:37,432
That's a hammer.
611
00:28:37,475 --> 00:28:39,869
Yeah, would you
look at that?
612
00:28:39,913 --> 00:28:42,785
So now there are three.
613
00:28:42,829 --> 00:28:46,571
Unless I'm mistaken, this is
starting to look like a...
614
00:28:46,615 --> 00:28:49,792
-Serial killer.
-Yeah.
615
00:28:57,844 --> 00:28:59,062
I'm sorry.
616
00:28:59,106 --> 00:29:00,803
I didn't realize.
I-I can come back later.
617
00:29:00,847 --> 00:29:02,065
No...
618
00:29:02,109 --> 00:29:03,980
I've had my fill.
619
00:29:09,899 --> 00:29:12,032
Back in the box.
620
00:29:13,555 --> 00:29:15,818
I don't mean to pry.
621
00:29:15,862 --> 00:29:17,820
But, uh...
622
00:29:17,864 --> 00:29:19,779
"the box"?
623
00:29:19,822 --> 00:29:22,172
You know what I do, Jimmy.
624
00:29:22,216 --> 00:29:25,306
I do, yeah. I can't imagine
how difficult it must be.
625
00:29:25,349 --> 00:29:28,657
Having so many lives depend
on what you say next.
626
00:29:28,700 --> 00:29:30,528
Which is why you need
to find a way to manage it.
627
00:29:31,703 --> 00:29:33,314
How do you?
628
00:29:34,794 --> 00:29:38,014
I've walked into hell more times
than you can count.
629
00:29:39,276 --> 00:29:42,323
A bomber about
to blow up a preschool.
630
00:29:43,324 --> 00:29:46,327
A father threatening to slit
his own kid's throat.
631
00:29:46,370 --> 00:29:48,329
And it is my job
632
00:29:48,372 --> 00:29:51,767
to imagine a happy ending
and then to make it happen.
633
00:29:51,811 --> 00:29:54,509
And the only way that you
can do that is to take
634
00:29:54,552 --> 00:29:56,598
every fear...
635
00:29:56,641 --> 00:29:58,165
every pain and just...
636
00:29:58,208 --> 00:29:59,862
Just put it in the box.
637
00:29:59,906 --> 00:30:01,211
And then
when it's over,
638
00:30:01,255 --> 00:30:03,823
only then can you risk...
639
00:30:03,866 --> 00:30:05,781
feeling anything.
640
00:30:05,825 --> 00:30:08,784
I mean, that doesn't sound...
641
00:30:08,828 --> 00:30:10,699
healthy at all.
642
00:30:12,092 --> 00:30:13,615
Sorry, it-it doesn't.
643
00:30:13,658 --> 00:30:14,964
Never said it was healthy.
644
00:30:15,008 --> 00:30:17,401
Just... just necessary.
645
00:30:20,100 --> 00:30:21,884
And to be honest, I think that's
646
00:30:21,928 --> 00:30:24,060
why I'm still alive
and they're not.
647
00:30:24,104 --> 00:30:26,236
What happened in that house?
648
00:30:29,065 --> 00:30:31,546
I-I might not have
649
00:30:31,589 --> 00:30:34,679
a-a knife or...
650
00:30:34,723 --> 00:30:38,074
a bomb, but...
651
00:30:38,118 --> 00:30:40,947
you can talk to me.
652
00:30:45,952 --> 00:30:48,519
I left them.
653
00:30:50,478 --> 00:30:53,655
When Petty Officer
Withers surrendered
654
00:30:53,698 --> 00:30:56,049
and my team came in
to make the arrest,
655
00:30:56,092 --> 00:30:58,094
I needed to get out
of that room fast.
656
00:30:58,138 --> 00:31:01,532
You had to take a breath, right?
657
00:31:02,664 --> 00:31:04,579
And now...
658
00:31:04,622 --> 00:31:07,451
are you thinking
you should've died with them?
659
00:31:12,979 --> 00:31:15,198
I left my team.
660
00:31:18,375 --> 00:31:21,161
I know a thing or two
about survivor's guilt.
661
00:31:23,990 --> 00:31:27,515
And the question
that I've learned to ask?
662
00:31:27,558 --> 00:31:29,952
How would he feel
663
00:31:29,996 --> 00:31:32,172
about you surviving?
664
00:31:35,001 --> 00:31:38,004
Wherever Agent Madden
is right now,
665
00:31:38,047 --> 00:31:39,919
I think he'd be thrilled.
666
00:31:44,488 --> 00:31:46,969
He, of all people, knew
how short life could be.
667
00:31:48,362 --> 00:31:50,625
Why "of all people"?
668
00:31:51,974 --> 00:31:53,845
His advanced lung disease.
669
00:31:54,890 --> 00:31:57,197
Are you telling me
Eddie was sick?
Yes.
670
00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:58,894
Based on his current condition,
671
00:31:58,938 --> 00:32:01,114
he had less than a year to live.
672
00:32:03,768 --> 00:32:05,422
He never said anything.
673
00:32:05,466 --> 00:32:07,598
It would appear that you're not
674
00:32:07,642 --> 00:32:10,297
the only one who's good
at compartmentalizing.
675
00:32:12,995 --> 00:32:15,128
Think I got a lead.
676
00:32:15,171 --> 00:32:17,478
Just came from
Agent Madden's house,
677
00:32:17,521 --> 00:32:19,001
found something pretty
interesting in his garage.
678
00:32:19,045 --> 00:32:20,307
Look at this.
679
00:32:20,350 --> 00:32:22,744
Uh, that's
REACT's smart armor.
680
00:32:22,787 --> 00:32:23,745
That's not very interesting.
681
00:32:23,788 --> 00:32:25,007
How about now?
682
00:32:25,051 --> 00:32:26,835
A ton of it,
stashed at his house.
683
00:32:26,878 --> 00:32:28,837
Okay, so what do you think
he was doing with all that gear?
684
00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:30,360
Worth a ton of money.
685
00:32:30,404 --> 00:32:31,971
You think he was doing
some kind of side business?
686
00:32:32,014 --> 00:32:35,235
Like maybe selling, uh,
stolen equipment on the DL?
687
00:32:36,192 --> 00:32:37,802
No way Eddie was dirty.
688
00:32:38,890 --> 00:32:40,153
It's just a theory.
689
00:32:40,196 --> 00:32:42,329
Well, your theory's wrong.
690
00:32:43,373 --> 00:32:44,374
Equipment's supposed to stay
691
00:32:44,418 --> 00:32:45,854
in the NCIS armory.
692
00:32:45,897 --> 00:32:48,248
And Eddie had authorization
to take it out.
693
00:32:48,291 --> 00:32:50,337
He was the gear manager.
694
00:32:52,078 --> 00:32:55,211
I understand...
695
00:32:57,387 --> 00:33:00,173
Eddie was a good cop.
696
00:33:00,216 --> 00:33:01,522
I'd bet my life on it.
697
00:33:01,565 --> 00:33:04,612
In fact, I have, more than once.
698
00:33:06,527 --> 00:33:08,181
After you told me about
699
00:33:08,224 --> 00:33:10,487
all that missing gear,
I took the liberty
700
00:33:10,531 --> 00:33:13,186
of tracking Agent Madden's
movements in our building,
701
00:33:13,229 --> 00:33:16,015
to see if anything
flagged my weirdometer.
702
00:33:16,058 --> 00:33:18,365
And it got flagged.
703
00:33:18,408 --> 00:33:21,150
According to the system logs,
uh, Agent Madden swiped
704
00:33:21,194 --> 00:33:26,982
his REACT key card at the NCIS
training facility four days ago.
705
00:33:27,026 --> 00:33:28,157
So? He is a gym rat.
706
00:33:28,201 --> 00:33:30,029
-11:00 p.m. at night?
-Night owl.
707
00:33:30,072 --> 00:33:33,293
Take a look at the security
footage from the gym
708
00:33:33,336 --> 00:33:35,164
at 11:00 p.m.
709
00:33:36,644 --> 00:33:37,732
He ain't there.
710
00:33:37,775 --> 00:33:40,082
Even though
his key card said he was.
711
00:33:40,126 --> 00:33:41,344
That's weird.
712
00:33:41,388 --> 00:33:42,867
Try mildly irregular.
713
00:33:42,911 --> 00:33:44,739
Those card readers
glitch all the time.
714
00:33:44,782 --> 00:33:46,088
Yeah, you're right.
715
00:33:46,132 --> 00:33:48,569
They glitch.
They're glitchers.
716
00:33:48,612 --> 00:33:52,747
So to be sure,
I checked the actual data logs
717
00:33:52,790 --> 00:33:55,097
to get secondary confirmation
of the swipe,
718
00:33:55,141 --> 00:33:57,230
and according to the data logs,
719
00:33:57,273 --> 00:33:59,754
Madden was someplace
else entirely
720
00:33:59,797 --> 00:34:02,104
when he swiped his card.
721
00:34:02,148 --> 00:34:04,150
Where was he?
722
00:34:04,193 --> 00:34:06,500
At the armory.
723
00:34:09,155 --> 00:34:11,157
-Walking out with a
quarter-million dollars'
724
00:34:11,200 --> 00:34:12,506
worth of equipment.
725
00:34:12,549 --> 00:34:15,639
Which he then tried to
cover up afterwards.
726
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:18,207
Not a good look.
727
00:34:28,783 --> 00:34:30,654
She took that well.
728
00:34:38,532 --> 00:34:41,274
So if Madden was stealing
gear from NCIS,
729
00:34:41,317 --> 00:34:43,276
how did he end up dead?
730
00:34:43,319 --> 00:34:44,625
Maybe he had a falling out
with a buyer.
731
00:34:44,668 --> 00:34:46,235
Or a partner.
732
00:34:48,716 --> 00:34:51,414
Sorry about the lab.
Won't happen again.
733
00:34:52,546 --> 00:34:56,376
If Madden was dirty,
Madden was dirty.
734
00:34:57,812 --> 00:34:59,988
-I'm sorry, what did I miss?
-I killed a stapler.
735
00:35:00,031 --> 00:35:01,642
Oh, you know,
I've been there.
736
00:35:01,685 --> 00:35:03,557
So what makes you think
that he had a partner?
737
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:05,341
He'd been taking calls
on the job.
738
00:35:05,385 --> 00:35:06,995
Personal calls,
in the middle of the day.
739
00:35:07,038 --> 00:35:09,563
At first I didn't think
anything about it, but now...
740
00:35:09,606 --> 00:35:11,391
Maybe they were calls were to
a partner about the stolen gear?
741
00:35:11,434 --> 00:35:13,175
And maybe that partner
got tired of going halfsies
742
00:35:13,219 --> 00:35:14,394
and took Madden out.
743
00:35:14,437 --> 00:35:15,830
We got to find
this partner.
744
00:35:15,873 --> 00:35:17,310
Yeah, which is why
I've been pulling up
745
00:35:17,353 --> 00:35:19,616
GPS history from Madden's car.
746
00:35:19,660 --> 00:35:22,489
So this is
from last week.
747
00:35:22,532 --> 00:35:24,360
Damn. He's been all
over the place.
748
00:35:24,404 --> 00:35:27,189
-Yeah, Madden stopped
at three law offices
749
00:35:27,233 --> 00:35:29,844
and two chemical laboratories.
750
00:35:29,887 --> 00:35:32,455
It's not the kind of people who
usually buy stolen body armor.
751
00:35:32,499 --> 00:35:34,153
So what was he doing?
752
00:35:34,196 --> 00:35:36,981
He was trying to figure out
why the armor was killing him.
753
00:35:39,549 --> 00:35:41,334
Madden had
advanced lung disease.
754
00:35:41,377 --> 00:35:43,988
Turns out it was
idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
755
00:35:44,032 --> 00:35:45,338
Is that unusual?
756
00:35:45,381 --> 00:35:46,991
Not if you're over 65
and you're a heavy smoker,
757
00:35:47,035 --> 00:35:48,863
or if you happen to work
around toxic fumes.
758
00:35:48,906 --> 00:35:52,345
I dove into his medical history.
Madden was a health nut.
759
00:35:52,388 --> 00:35:54,216
His only issue was a minor
760
00:35:54,260 --> 00:35:55,739
asthma condition
which he managed just fine
761
00:35:55,783 --> 00:35:58,220
up until about a year ago,
when it got way worse.
762
00:35:58,264 --> 00:36:00,309
Now, that coincides with...
763
00:36:00,353 --> 00:36:02,355
The gear pilot program,
764
00:36:02,398 --> 00:36:04,879
which started
exactly a year ago.
765
00:36:04,922 --> 00:36:07,534
So you're saying
the armor made him sick?
766
00:36:07,577 --> 00:36:09,100
I had Kasie run an analysis
on the materials.
767
00:36:09,144 --> 00:36:14,541
Turns out the outer materials
had high levels of PBDE.
768
00:36:17,413 --> 00:36:19,154
Pretend like
I'm not as smart as you.
769
00:36:19,198 --> 00:36:21,461
Sorry, right, uh, it-it's
used in flame retardants,
770
00:36:21,504 --> 00:36:23,767
or at least it was,
until 2004 when it was banned
771
00:36:23,811 --> 00:36:26,857
because the off-gassing
was found to be so highly toxic.
772
00:36:26,901 --> 00:36:29,512
But I wore the armor, too.
My entire team did.
773
00:36:29,556 --> 00:36:31,384
So how come Madden was
the only one who got sick?
774
00:36:31,427 --> 00:36:34,169
For you and for others,
it would take years
775
00:36:34,213 --> 00:36:36,040
of exposure to get sick.
776
00:36:36,084 --> 00:36:37,259
But for someone
like Madden,
777
00:36:37,303 --> 00:36:39,392
with a preexisting
asthma condition?
778
00:36:39,435 --> 00:36:43,874
Putting this armor on
was like a ticking time bomb.
779
00:36:43,918 --> 00:36:47,313
So Madden wasn't stealing
those boxes to sell them,
780
00:36:47,356 --> 00:36:48,923
he was gathering evidence.
781
00:36:48,966 --> 00:36:51,665
Which explains why he was
visiting labs and law offices.
782
00:36:51,708 --> 00:36:53,232
He was building a case.
783
00:36:53,275 --> 00:36:54,537
Against who?
784
00:36:54,581 --> 00:36:56,583
Mr. Kessler, we appreciate you
coming in again,
785
00:36:56,626 --> 00:36:59,107
We just have a, uh, few more
questions about your gear.
786
00:36:59,150 --> 00:37:02,110
Of course.
Like I said, anything you need.
787
00:37:02,153 --> 00:37:03,633
What do you want to know?
788
00:37:03,677 --> 00:37:06,506
Well, how long have you known
that it could make you sick?
789
00:37:11,728 --> 00:37:13,252
Wait a minute, I'm confused.
790
00:37:13,295 --> 00:37:14,383
Really?
791
00:37:14,427 --> 00:37:16,080
Seems pretty clear to me.
792
00:37:16,124 --> 00:37:17,952
Your company
manufactured body armor
793
00:37:17,995 --> 00:37:20,259
that contained
an illegal toxic chemical.
794
00:37:20,302 --> 00:37:21,608
Cheaper to make.
795
00:37:21,651 --> 00:37:23,131
But if it kills people,
so what, right?
796
00:37:23,174 --> 00:37:24,611
-Agent Madden found
out about it.
797
00:37:24,654 --> 00:37:26,134
And when he threatened
to expose you
798
00:37:26,177 --> 00:37:28,092
on the heels of your
big government contract...
799
00:37:28,136 --> 00:37:29,137
You killed him.
800
00:37:29,180 --> 00:37:30,617
Oh, I'm sorry,
no, you,
801
00:37:30,660 --> 00:37:32,923
you hired someone to kill him.
802
00:37:32,967 --> 00:37:34,708
And so that no one ever found
out about the tainted gear,
803
00:37:34,751 --> 00:37:37,450
you fixed the problem
in your new product line.
804
00:37:37,493 --> 00:37:38,799
No more icky stuff.
805
00:37:38,842 --> 00:37:41,671
Is this supposed
to intimidate me?
806
00:37:41,715 --> 00:37:43,412
'Cause if you want
to see intimidation,
807
00:37:43,456 --> 00:37:45,545
-wait until my lawyers get here.
-Well, we'd like
to meet them.
808
00:37:45,588 --> 00:37:46,850
We'll show them this.
809
00:37:46,894 --> 00:37:48,112
Am I supposed to know
810
00:37:48,156 --> 00:37:49,462
-what that is?
-Well, you should.
811
00:37:49,505 --> 00:37:50,811
It's the wire transfer you paid
812
00:37:50,854 --> 00:37:52,465
to Richie Soren
to blow up the house.
813
00:37:52,508 --> 00:37:54,162
You remember him?
Ex-con,
814
00:37:54,205 --> 00:37:55,598
lived in an RV?
815
00:37:55,642 --> 00:37:56,947
It took us a little while,
but we traced the payment
816
00:37:56,991 --> 00:37:59,907
back to an offshore account
owned by you.
817
00:37:59,950 --> 00:38:03,171
See, you're not the only one
with cool gadgets.
818
00:38:05,042 --> 00:38:07,306
Okay, yes,
819
00:38:07,349 --> 00:38:10,004
Madden was going to expose me
and ruin everything,
820
00:38:10,047 --> 00:38:13,573
but hiring the bomber
wasn't my idea.
821
00:38:13,616 --> 00:38:15,705
Then whose idea was it?
822
00:38:22,233 --> 00:38:23,365
Kessler?
823
00:38:23,409 --> 00:38:25,367
He gave you up.
824
00:38:25,411 --> 00:38:26,890
Told us everything.
825
00:38:26,934 --> 00:38:29,676
Well, I suppose
if it had to end,
826
00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:32,200
better it be with...
with you.
827
00:38:32,243 --> 00:38:34,942
Tell me, when Madden first
came to you with his concerns
828
00:38:34,985 --> 00:38:37,379
about the gear,
did you even contemplate
829
00:38:37,423 --> 00:38:39,512
going to the higher-ups
and doing the right thing?
830
00:38:39,555 --> 00:38:41,992
Or did you just go straight
to Kessler and cut a deal?
831
00:38:42,036 --> 00:38:45,518
Keep Madden silent in exchange
for a nice, hefty paycheck.
832
00:38:45,561 --> 00:38:47,520
No, Jess... The anonymous tip
833
00:38:47,563 --> 00:38:49,130
that sent us to that house.
834
00:38:49,173 --> 00:38:50,436
That was you,
wasn't it?
835
00:38:50,479 --> 00:38:52,960
You sent us there to kill us.
836
00:38:53,003 --> 00:38:54,570
The bomb was only meant
for Madden.
837
00:38:54,614 --> 00:38:56,224
It-it was supposed
838
00:38:56,267 --> 00:38:58,052
to go off when he was
in the house alone
839
00:38:58,095 --> 00:38:59,401
going through final sweeps.
840
00:38:59,445 --> 00:39:01,403
It w-- it was Soren.
841
00:39:01,447 --> 00:39:03,362
Soren jumped the gun.
842
00:39:03,405 --> 00:39:05,102
I never intended
843
00:39:05,146 --> 00:39:07,888
to hurt you, ever,
or the others.
844
00:39:07,931 --> 00:39:10,064
-And that makes it okay?
-I figured,
845
00:39:10,107 --> 00:39:13,546
since Madden was dying anyway...
846
00:39:13,589 --> 00:39:15,896
Tom, he was family.
847
00:39:15,939 --> 00:39:19,073
They all were. Are you seriously
trying to justify this?
848
00:39:19,116 --> 00:39:20,857
No.
849
00:39:25,035 --> 00:39:26,994
I'm just talking.
850
00:39:32,913 --> 00:39:35,132
Well, the time for that is over.
851
00:39:40,137 --> 00:39:41,269
Yeah.
852
00:39:41,312 --> 00:39:43,314
Let's go.
853
00:39:43,358 --> 00:39:44,925
Come on.
854
00:39:44,968 --> 00:39:48,624
I suppose you're right, Jess.
855
00:39:49,886 --> 00:39:50,931
What are you doing, Tom?
856
00:39:50,974 --> 00:39:52,585
I'm saving you from filling out
857
00:39:52,628 --> 00:39:54,587
a lot of paperwork.
858
00:39:54,630 --> 00:39:57,981
I remember how much
you always hated that.
859
00:40:06,599 --> 00:40:09,297
Aren't you gonna
try and stop me?
860
00:40:09,340 --> 00:40:13,823
Use your tricks
to talk me out of it?
861
00:40:15,651 --> 00:40:17,914
No.
862
00:40:21,178 --> 00:40:23,354
I've already
played my trick.
863
00:40:24,747 --> 00:40:25,966
What?
864
00:40:26,009 --> 00:40:28,621
Why do you think I'm
on this side of you?
865
00:40:28,664 --> 00:40:30,361
I wanted the sun at your back
so you wouldn't see
866
00:40:30,405 --> 00:40:32,842
the agent I have
coming up on your right.
867
00:40:47,291 --> 00:40:51,557
And just as Agents Madden,
Ono and Vargas
868
00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:56,039
have given their lives
in service to our country,
869
00:40:56,083 --> 00:40:58,694
they also serve as a reminder
870
00:40:58,738 --> 00:41:01,480
that wherever this life
takes us,
871
00:41:01,523 --> 00:41:04,308
whether here or beyond,
872
00:41:04,352 --> 00:41:08,965
we will forever be
brothers and sisters,
873
00:41:09,009 --> 00:41:13,404
bound by the duty and honor
874
00:41:13,448 --> 00:41:15,363
to which we are sworn.
875
00:41:24,198 --> 00:41:25,765
Agent Knight.
876
00:41:25,808 --> 00:41:28,811
McGee, I told you,
call me Jessica.
877
00:41:28,855 --> 00:41:31,031
Or Jess. Or Knight or...
878
00:41:31,074 --> 00:41:32,989
Hey, um, listen,
I just wanted to,
879
00:41:33,033 --> 00:41:34,948
I wanted to say thank you
for your help on the case.
880
00:41:34,991 --> 00:41:37,037
Oh, no,
I should be thanking you.
881
00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:41,476
And hey, we did it
in under 48 hours.
882
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:43,783
Well, technically, it
was 49 and a half...
883
00:41:43,826 --> 00:41:45,611
Ugh.
but who's counting?
884
00:41:45,654 --> 00:41:48,396
You, apparently.
885
00:41:48,439 --> 00:41:50,572
Well,
886
00:41:50,616 --> 00:41:52,835
maybe I'm losing my touch.
887
00:41:52,879 --> 00:41:54,924
May be a good time
to take a step back.
888
00:41:54,968 --> 00:41:57,187
You? Slow down?
889
00:41:57,231 --> 00:42:00,539
More like decompress.
890
00:42:00,582 --> 00:42:02,410
Besides, going back
to the office now,
891
00:42:02,453 --> 00:42:03,585
I'd feel like Annie.
892
00:42:03,629 --> 00:42:05,631
Or Harry Potter.
893
00:42:05,674 --> 00:42:07,110
How do you mean?
894
00:42:07,894 --> 00:42:09,765
An orphan.
895
00:42:14,291 --> 00:42:16,337
My family's gone.
896
00:42:18,948 --> 00:42:21,560
I'm not sure
where I belong right now.
897
00:42:24,737 --> 00:42:26,826
Well, Jess...
898
00:42:27,827 --> 00:42:30,090
...that's the thing
about families.
899
00:42:30,873 --> 00:42:33,006
Sometimes they grow.
