Thanks for coming by today.
My pleasure, sir.
Sam, I need to see you in my office alone.
Copy that.
Good job.
Thanks, Sam.All right, we're gonna
go through these a couple more times.
Enter.SAM:Admiral.
Hey, Sam.Hey.
Ah. Agent Hamilton joining us?
Yeah. Yeah. He's, uh,
working a sting targeting
suspected dirty federal agents.
I don't have all the details,
but yesterday
a young undercover ATF agent,
Scott Reid, was killed.
Damn.Yeah.
A name came up during the investigation.
Percy Vander.
Now, he's listed
as a UC contact for one of your undercover personas,
Switch.Yeah, he was my...
Switch's mentor.
Gave me the bona fides
to operate on the street.
Yeah,
I've been looking through the Switch file here.
It's a very impressive
undercover persona. You got a lot
of results as Switch.
I did. I moved through a lot of different worlds,
subcultures with that persona.
Is Switch still viable, or did the cover get blown?
Well, that's unclear.
I'd have to make a phone call to find out.
To the woman who goes by the name of King?
Yeah.
I don't know whether she kept quiet
on the inside or if she told people who I was, so...
Understood.
Lance thinks that Vander had something to do
with the death of this young ATF agent.
And he wants me to use Switch
to draw Vander out for him.Yes.
UC personas are tricky things.
To be good, to, um,
to feel real,
you have to have a part of you in them.
But when that happens,
when that line
between person and persona gets blurred,
it's impossible
to keep the people we're investigating at arm's length.
You're human. You let 'em in.
What's work? What's real?
Hard to tell.
Yeah.
I need you to tell me right now, Agent Hanna.
Can you hunt this man Vander down?
Or are you
too personally invested?
No.
I'm good.
I got this.
[door closes]
Hey, Sam.
Hey. Sorry about your man.
Thank you, brother.
He had a two-year-old boy.
Just got off the phone with his wife.
Damn.
Yeah.
So, there's a notebook floating around
with the names of federal agents
from Texas, Mississippi, Alabama,
all suspected of being dirty?
Tied to a wealthy ranch owner in Texas,
has ties to the Dixie Mafia.
And this ranch owner, he kept names and records in a notebook?
He did. And then he died.
In the way of the world, his son Luke Gilroy
is looking to liquidate his father's legacy.
And Luke sold the notebook to your man.
Yeah. Task force picked up Luke last night.
Said he made the sale
and just walked away.
Were you backup?
[sighs] Didn't make it in time.
Reid called me from L.A.
Said he set up the sale of the notebook,
had to move fast.
Didn't have time to wait.
Where does Vander fit into all of this?
I don't know, man.
Reid was bleeding out.
I asked him who did it.
He said Vander. I ran the name,
saw the connection to you.
You tight with this guy Vander?
Years ago, I used him to, uh,
get this undercover persona up and running.
The most successful UC op I've ever had.
Bicoastal.
L.A., New York.
I want this son of a bitch.
Yeah.
So, we have our own case?Yes, we do.
The FBI has reason to believe that this civilian
aerospace engineer Ryan Logue
is in possession of stolen Navy schematics.
Tell me more. What type of schematics?ROUNTREE: We don't know
exactly, but we do know they're highly classified.
Logue's division works exclusively
with a group within Naval Special Warfare
called N9.
DEEKS: So, if Logue has the schematics
for the tech, what do we think her endgame is?
We're thinking money.
FBI intercepted communications between Logue
and a Ukrainian national named Bohdan Amantas.
Amantas has been dealing high-level arms
illegally and legally for over a decade.
Okay, well, it looks like the FBI
has this pretty much covered,
so why are they calling us in?
Well, they can't find Logue or Amantas.
But Amantas has been in regular contact
with someone that this office knows very well.
DEEKS [chuckles]: Oh. Henrik.
Omni's man in L.A.
What's Omni?Transnational criminal organization.
Multiethnic.
He worked for them for years, and then we, you know,
put him in prison.
Old Henrik has been out on parole in L.A.
for over a year.
FATIMA: And now FBI
wants us to find out if Henrik here
is involved in this case somehow.KENSI: Okay.
Well, if Ryan Logue is trying to sell top secret schematics,
maybe Henrik
is trying to broker the deal for Amantas.
Or Henrik is buying the schematics directly for Omni.
Mm. Uh, can we track his location?
Already did using the magic of social media.
Just posted at a house in the Flats.
DEEKS: Whoa. So,
$2 million per bedroom,
which, you know, that seems fair.
Sheesh. Sending you guys the location now.
Thank you.This'll be fun.
[door opens]I think you could buy the entire town I grew up in
for $10 million.
Welcome to L.A.[exhales]
SAM: Thank you, Dana.
I will.
Okay.
Bye-bye.
That's a long call.
[exhales] Lot of history with that woman.
She the one known as King on the streets?
Yeah.
What'd she say? We good?
She never gave up Switch on the streets.
Never told anybody I was a cop.
The Switch persona's still viable.
And you trust her?
We have no choice but to trust her.
What's the play?
Well, Vander has a big personality,
but he's a calculated and careful man, so...
And he's got love for Switch,
but he thinks I'm down in Mexico City working,
so if I just announce I'm back,
it won't work. He won't trust it.
He won't trust Switch. He'll stay hidden.
So, how do we smoke him out?
Have to do something that benefits him.
[scoffs]Get something done
that he wants done.
Let me guess. You got a plan?
Always. [chuckles softly]
So, you said you wanted pool, privacy, view.
Baby, I got you
three out of four. It's all within your budget.
Come on.You're stealing this from the sellers, okay?

What's up, agents?
NCIS? Is that that tacky brokerage in the Valley?
KENSI: No, no, we're not brokers.
We are federal law enforcement agents.
Oh. Secret agents.
Can they get preapproved for a $10 million mortgage?
DEEKS: Preapproved? No, we pay cash.
We need to talk.
Rexford, I'm gonna have to meet you back at the office, huh?
Okay, okay, okay.
Are you guys in the market, by the way?DEEKS: Actually,
yes. Three-bedroom, two-bath, little yard by the beach.

one in the Bird Streets.DEEKS: We think

Ah.Why'd you no-show?
Why didn't you just call in sick?
Because I wasn't sick. I was tired.
These are the questions
that you brought me here to answer?
Would you rather talk

We could,

after the game, and two guys
that worked for Amantas, they came up to me.

but it was just something to watch.
Yeah, yeah.

There wasn't even a Kings game on that night.
Not in the entire week.

And remember, she's a thinker.
She thinks that the story
sounds better with details.
Mm.
But mainly, she just thinks she's smarter than us.
Yeah, and when she starts spitting out details
without thinking...
Then holes get exposed.Hmm.

Shore Lake Assisted Living is a hospice facility.

Why am I supposed to be answering your questions?
Because we're asking nicely.
DEEKS: And the fact that you have three houses
in escrow across Los Angeles, and if you don't want
to answer the questions, that's fine, gives us
all sorts of extra time to investigate where you got
the money for those down payments.
So don't answer questions, just send us
tax returns for the past three years.
PDF files are fine.[laughs softly]
You two are hilarious.
Ah. We're funny. Thanks.
I know that name, Ryan Logue, but I don't know her.
That's interesting, 'cause she said that you threatened
to kill her father if she didn't steal
top secret military files for you.
[chuckles] Is that what she said?
[Ukrainian accent]: That is what she said.
Logue contacted my people,
wanted to sell us
some U.S. military engineering schematics.
How much did she want for it?Never got that far.
My people shut her down, told her we weren't interested
in doing business with people we don't know.
[regular accent]: You weren't interested
in what she was selling?
My people are well-trained.
They didn't let her say what she was selling.
Hmm. So, engineer with a top secret clearance
says one thing,
Eastern European criminal says another, so why...
"Eastern European criminal"?
Ouch.
I am a legitimate arms dealer.
Well, that's debatable.
DEEKS:So, why should we trust you
over Logue?
You got good computer people that work for you?
Yes. The best.
Have your people hack into this site on the dark web.
You will find that Logue is the one trying
to drum up a buyer for what she's selling.
Thank you.

I'm gonna go grab some Sugarfish.
[laughter]
Hey...He called us "sirs."
Sirs!"Sir," remember?
Oh, man.
Oh, man. I forgot about that.
Mm-hmm. That was crazy.
You know, on a sidebar, man, you-you...
you did me a real solid, man.
So what can, uh,
Big Vander do for the O.G. Switch?
[chuckles]
Okay, Big Vander, well...
[laughs]
I've been hearing rumors on the street.
There's a notebook floating around.
All right?
This notebook has the names of a bunch
of dirty federal agents.
If you're part of that, I want in.
You feel me?
It would be really helpful
for what I'm working on in Mexico.
Damn, Switch.
What's up?
I not only liked you, I trusted you, fam.
[whistles]
Hey, yo, yo, yo. Vander.
Guys...LANCE: I only got a shot
on one of the gunmen, Sam.
Vander, what's going on, man?
Switch, you screwed up, son.
Sam, you need to get out of there now.
I don't have the shot, Sam. You got to move.
Come on, Sam.
Search him.
[grunting]
Vander just went to the lower deck.
Vander!
Vander.
Drop the gun.
No shot. I repeat, no shot.
You got to get Vander to move outside.
You need to put the gun down.
You know me, I can't go out like that.
Only the cops know I had that notebook.
How you know about it, then, Switch?
LANCE: Move him into view, Sam.
Give me a clear shot.
Vander,
I can help you,
but you need to put that gun down.
The cops want that notebook.
You're a cop, Switch, you a damn cop.
Vander, there's a sniper
across the parking lot!
It's over.
Put the gun down.
I loved you like a son.
How you gonna do me like that?
Vander, we can deal with this.
Okay?
Just put the gun down.
I can't do jail time.
Vander, don't go outside.
Don't go outside!
Come back, come back.
Vander.
Vander, don't go outside!
I can't go out like no bitch. [chuckles]
No!
[wheezing]
FATIMA [over phone]: Yeah, Amantas was telling the truth.
I unlocked the encrypted name
and traced it back to an I.P. address
that Ryan Logue was using.
Logue was trying to find a buyer on the dark web
for the schematics, but, uh,
it doesn't look like she was having much luck, though.
This whole "being a criminal" thing
is harder than it looks.
Well, she probably figured she'd done the hard part
by stealing the schematics and getting away with it.
But no pro is gonna want
to do business with someone they've never met,
someone who just contacts them out of the blue.
That's got "law enforcement operation" written all over it.
Yeah. Fill in Kilbride, and hopefully he can use
all of this as leverage
to get Logue to turn over her copies of the schematics.
Copy that.
Were you able to get anyone to check on my dad?
Nah, we didn't even try.
What?
Your whole story was a lie.
[stammers]
Railroading innocent people.
Yeah, this is exactly why
everyone hates law enforcement.
Oh, I don't think everyone hates us.
No, I would actually argue that it's a very small percentage
of Americans who really hate us.
You need to let me go right now.
No, actually, we don't.
What we do need from you
is your copy of the Naval schematics that you stole.
I didn't steal any...
And your friend Bohdan Amantas
is happy to go on record that you
approached him, unsolicited, to sell him those schematics.
[scoffs]
I'm feeling pretty good about my state university
undergrad degree right about now.
[indistinct radio chatter]
[exhales]
I'm sorry, Sam.
Don't be.
You did your job.
It was my fault getting so attached to a mark.
It ain't a fault.
Just means you're a human being.
[grunts]
He wasn't a good dude.
Had Agent Reid killed,
left a two-year-old toddler without a dad.
Yeah.
He was gonna take that list of dirty agents, blackmail them
and make them work for him.
That never could happen.
[phone vibrating]
And it won't.
My task force just found the notebook.
Vander's crash pad in Tarzana.
[scoffs]
It still hurts.
Vander wasn't only a mentor to Switch, he was...
I know, man.
I know.
[exhales]
KILBRIDE: Leaving already, are you?
Admiral.
Yes, sir.
I can only take L.A. in 30-hour chunks,
so back down to San Diego.
Yeah, I can remember fondly the days when I didn't call
this plastic town my primary residence.
[both laugh softly]
You know, Admiral, I-I just wanted to say thanks.
Thanks for bringing me in.
This new training company I started,
it's a big financial risk for my family,
I-I just wanted to say...Stop.
After Ramadi, uh...
...after your service, it's a pleasure
to support your training company.
To that end, the director of NCIS
agrees with me.
You will be providing monthly training
to all NCIS agents under my purview
on the West Coast, with hopes of rolling
this program out nationwide.
Sir...
Thank you, sir.
Thank you.
Hooyah.
