1
00:00:14,241 --> 00:00:16,206
[JD] That boat
was rigged to explode.
2
00:00:16,206 --> 00:00:17,586
[Mackey]
And what about the woman?
3
00:00:17,586 --> 00:00:20,068
[Woman] Well, no sign of her
yet, but still looking.
4
00:00:20,068 --> 00:00:21,517
[Mackey] I've got 50 people
down here,
5
00:00:21,517 --> 00:00:22,965
including a heavily
pregnant woman.
6
00:00:22,965 --> 00:00:24,103
What kind of killer
7
00:00:24,103 --> 00:00:25,724
traps themselves in
with their victims?
8
00:00:25,724 --> 00:00:27,068
The kind with an escape plan.
9
00:00:27,068 --> 00:00:29,896
[Blue] And a device
to jam the tech.
10
00:00:29,896 --> 00:00:31,344
[Mackey]
What if it's more than that?
11
00:00:31,344 --> 00:00:32,896
All evidence points to
a sleeper cell
12
00:00:32,896 --> 00:00:34,448
going back years.
13
00:00:36,068 --> 00:00:39,172
[Intense music]
14
00:00:40,689 --> 00:00:42,586
[Laidback music]
15
00:00:47,586 --> 00:00:48,862
[Children cheer]
16
00:00:48,862 --> 00:00:50,379
[Woman] Alright,
just let me get a quick photo!
17
00:00:50,379 --> 00:00:52,275
- Say 'cheese'.
- [Children] Cheese!
18
00:00:52,275 --> 00:00:54,793
[Clown speaks indistinctly
in Eastern European accent]
19
00:00:54,793 --> 00:00:56,103
[Clown laughs]
20
00:00:56,103 --> 00:00:58,103
[Clown] Hammer -
an incredible tool.
21
00:00:58,103 --> 00:01:01,620
Huh? Always take a hammer
to school. This is...
22
00:01:01,620 --> 00:01:03,448
[Groans playfully] What is this?
23
00:01:03,448 --> 00:01:08,000
Okay, well, this is a bike
with one wheel, yes?
24
00:01:09,310 --> 00:01:11,896
- [Clown] Okay.
- Are you gonna ride it?
25
00:01:11,896 --> 00:01:13,862
How? It has only one wheel.
26
00:01:13,862 --> 00:01:15,931
[Clown laughs]
27
00:01:15,931 --> 00:01:17,034
Yes, boy?
28
00:01:17,034 --> 00:01:18,241
I'm not being mean,
29
00:01:18,241 --> 00:01:20,827
but I thought clowns
were meant to be funny.
30
00:01:20,827 --> 00:01:22,551
Yes, funny.
31
00:01:22,551 --> 00:01:28,034
Some are. Some are sad
clowns also. Boo-hoo-hoo!
32
00:01:28,034 --> 00:01:29,931
Do you know any magic tricks?
33
00:01:29,931 --> 00:01:31,344
Sure.
34
00:01:31,344 --> 00:01:36,862
I will do amazing magic trick, yes.
35
00:01:36,862 --> 00:01:40,862
Come, birthday boy,
you can be assistant.
36
00:01:40,862 --> 00:01:42,310
High protection essential.
37
00:01:42,310 --> 00:01:45,965
Where'd you find him?
Looks like he slept in his car.
38
00:01:45,965 --> 00:01:47,241
A clown car, you'd hope.
39
00:01:47,241 --> 00:01:48,758
His outfit doesn't even fit.
40
00:01:48,758 --> 00:01:51,034
They're nine-year-olds jacked up
on chocolate crackles.
41
00:01:51,034 --> 00:01:52,034
What do they know?
42
00:01:52,034 --> 00:01:53,068
Well, they know that clowns
43
00:01:53,068 --> 00:01:54,310
are meant to wear big shoes
44
00:01:54,310 --> 00:01:57,275
and have red noses
and be remotely funny.
45
00:01:57,275 --> 00:01:59,000
- As long as Jack's having fun.
- Yeah.
46
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:00,931
[Clown] If you want
to disappear,
47
00:02:00,931 --> 00:02:03,862
you have to have your hands
firmly tied.
48
00:02:03,862 --> 00:02:05,620
[Clown continues indistinctly]
49
00:02:06,586 --> 00:02:07,896
I'm sure he's on his way.
50
00:02:07,896 --> 00:02:10,137
[Scoffs] Yeah, right.
51
00:02:10,137 --> 00:02:11,620
This is Jack's ninth birthday.
52
00:02:11,620 --> 00:02:14,517
So far, his dad's missed
numbers 4 through 8.
53
00:02:14,517 --> 00:02:16,448
[Sighs]
54
00:02:16,448 --> 00:02:19,965
- Anyway...
- [Guests] Happy birthday, Jack!
55
00:02:19,965 --> 00:02:22,482
All right, that's our cue.
56
00:02:22,482 --> 00:02:24,275
All right!
57
00:02:24,275 --> 00:02:26,103
Cake time!
58
00:02:26,103 --> 00:02:28,896
Come on! Squish in!
59
00:02:28,896 --> 00:02:31,517
Make room for the birthday boy!
60
00:02:31,517 --> 00:02:33,034
Where's Jack?
61
00:02:33,034 --> 00:02:34,586
Could someone go and get Jack,
please? Quick.
62
00:02:34,586 --> 00:02:36,689
The candles are gonna
melt all over the stegosaurus.
63
00:02:36,689 --> 00:02:38,517
I think he's gone, Mrs. D.
64
00:02:38,517 --> 00:02:39,620
He's gone?
65
00:02:39,620 --> 00:02:41,827
What do you mean he's gone?
He lives here.
66
00:02:41,827 --> 00:02:43,448
The clown made him disappear.
67
00:02:43,448 --> 00:02:44,793
[Engine starts outside]
68
00:02:44,793 --> 00:02:46,310
Wait, is that...
69
00:02:48,137 --> 00:02:51,413
- [Dramatic music]
- [Tires squeal]
70
00:02:51,413 --> 00:02:52,620
[Screams] Jack!
71
00:02:52,620 --> 00:02:53,689
Call the police!
72
00:02:53,689 --> 00:02:55,862
Oh, my God! Call the police!
73
00:02:55,862 --> 00:02:57,068
[Horn honks]
74
00:02:57,965 --> 00:02:59,655
[Shrieks] Jack!
75
00:03:02,413 --> 00:03:04,793
- [DeShawn whistles cheerfully]
- [Evie clears throat]
76
00:03:04,793 --> 00:03:06,724
You should rock that
all the time.
77
00:03:06,724 --> 00:03:07,793
You think?
78
00:03:07,793 --> 00:03:09,517
Yeah, for sure.
79
00:03:09,517 --> 00:03:10,517
Makes you look smarter.
80
00:03:10,517 --> 00:03:12,241
[DeShawn laughs]
81
00:03:12,241 --> 00:03:13,551
Oh!
82
00:03:13,551 --> 00:03:14,586
Well, let me know next time
83
00:03:14,586 --> 00:03:16,206
you plan on getting trapped
in a bunker
84
00:03:16,206 --> 00:03:19,034
and need me to rescue you
and I'll be sure to throw it on.
85
00:03:19,034 --> 00:03:20,827
[Laughs] Oh! Ouch, D.
86
00:03:20,827 --> 00:03:21,827
Sick burn.
87
00:03:21,827 --> 00:03:23,689
- Learned from the best.
- Yeah.
88
00:03:23,689 --> 00:03:24,931
Yeah. Don't be a hater.
89
00:03:24,931 --> 00:03:27,068
- [Chuckles]
- You know I look good.
90
00:03:28,172 --> 00:03:29,551
Damn.
91
00:03:29,551 --> 00:03:30,896
Not smelling good, though.
92
00:03:30,896 --> 00:03:32,482
Ugh, what is that?
93
00:03:32,482 --> 00:03:34,241
TestostAroma for Men.
94
00:03:34,241 --> 00:03:37,310
- What? It was on sale.
- Yeah, funny, that.
95
00:03:38,724 --> 00:03:40,586
Ugh! Fine. Give it.
96
00:03:40,586 --> 00:03:42,379
Oh, now you want it.
97
00:03:44,551 --> 00:03:46,965
[Somber music]
98
00:04:00,862 --> 00:04:02,413
[JD] TestostAroma?
99
00:04:02,413 --> 00:04:04,344
[DeShawn] Oh! My man!
100
00:04:04,344 --> 00:04:05,413
You see that?
101
00:04:05,413 --> 00:04:06,655
[Phone buzzes]
102
00:04:09,931 --> 00:04:10,931
[Mackey] Hey.
103
00:04:10,931 --> 00:04:13,275
Anything from
Customs and Immigration?
104
00:04:13,275 --> 00:04:14,275
[DeShawn] Zip.
105
00:04:14,275 --> 00:04:16,517
No ID, no record
of her coming or going,
106
00:04:16,517 --> 00:04:19,655
no flagged passports or any
commercial flight manifests.
107
00:04:19,655 --> 00:04:21,241
So we think she's a local, then?
108
00:04:21,241 --> 00:04:24,137
Not unless she's lived
a very sedate life.
109
00:04:24,137 --> 00:04:26,517
I fed her photo
into all the databases.
110
00:04:26,517 --> 00:04:29,310
Facial rec doesn't ping to
any local government agencies.
111
00:04:29,310 --> 00:04:30,275
Great.
112
00:04:30,275 --> 00:04:31,655
So she's definitely not
from here,
113
00:04:31,655 --> 00:04:33,965
but there's no record of her
coming into the country either.
114
00:04:33,965 --> 00:04:35,000
And she's not even sweating.
115
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,103
What does she know
that we don't?
116
00:04:44,965 --> 00:04:47,689
Oh, you shouldn't have.
117
00:04:47,689 --> 00:04:49,206
[JD] Call me old-fashioned.
118
00:04:49,206 --> 00:04:50,689
And what should we call you?
119
00:04:50,689 --> 00:04:51,931
[Irish accent] My line of work
120
00:04:51,931 --> 00:04:54,551
involves keeping
those sorts of details private.
121
00:04:54,551 --> 00:04:56,655
- I'm sure you understand.
- You're Irish, right?
122
00:04:56,655 --> 00:04:58,000
What makes you think that?
123
00:04:59,068 --> 00:05:00,655
You're gonna have to tell us
at some point.
124
00:05:00,655 --> 00:05:03,206
Unless you want to wear that
table as a permanent handbag.
125
00:05:03,206 --> 00:05:05,275
- [Laughs]
- [Laughs] Something funny?
126
00:05:05,275 --> 00:05:07,551
You're not really seeing the
bigger picture here, Sergeant.
127
00:05:07,551 --> 00:05:09,965
I don't imagine you'll be
keeping me here very long.
128
00:05:09,965 --> 00:05:11,137
[JD] Why's that, exactly?
129
00:05:11,137 --> 00:05:13,103
Because once word gets out
that you have me,
130
00:05:13,103 --> 00:05:16,827
Agent Mackey's colleagues from
the more... serious agencies
131
00:05:16,827 --> 00:05:18,482
will start to make
their presence felt.
132
00:05:18,482 --> 00:05:21,310
Which is why it's in your
interest to help us first.
133
00:05:21,310 --> 00:05:22,448
How so?
134
00:05:22,448 --> 00:05:26,413
Because, unlike those
more... serious agencies,
135
00:05:26,413 --> 00:05:29,586
here at NCIS,
we just ask questions.
136
00:05:29,586 --> 00:05:30,586
Doozies.
137
00:05:30,586 --> 00:05:31,931
[Mackey] When the others
get involved,
138
00:05:31,931 --> 00:05:34,793
well, they can be a little more
hands-on.
139
00:05:34,793 --> 00:05:36,586
Sounds like fun.
140
00:05:36,586 --> 00:05:39,758
I thought you'd be more into
killing US submariners
141
00:05:39,758 --> 00:05:41,586
to try and steal
nuclear secrets.
142
00:05:41,586 --> 00:05:43,586
Or murdering naval researchers
143
00:05:43,586 --> 00:05:47,344
so you can watch 50 people
asphyxiate in a bunker.
144
00:05:47,344 --> 00:05:50,517
[Phone buzzes]
145
00:05:53,103 --> 00:05:55,965
We're gonna be at this
for a while, yeah.
146
00:05:55,965 --> 00:05:59,275
So why don't you at least
tell us what we call you?
147
00:05:59,275 --> 00:06:01,034
- Call me whatever you like.
- Don't tempt me.
148
00:06:01,034 --> 00:06:03,172
Aileen? Alannah? Ally?
149
00:06:03,172 --> 00:06:04,206
Ana.
150
00:06:04,206 --> 00:06:07,068
My name is Ana Neimus.
151
00:06:07,068 --> 00:06:09,517
See, that wasn't so hard now,
was it? Hm?
152
00:06:09,517 --> 00:06:11,413
So where are you from, Ana?
153
00:06:11,413 --> 00:06:14,931
[Eastern European accent] Well,
it depends who's asking me.
154
00:06:14,931 --> 00:06:17,206
[Refined English accent]
And who's paying my fee.
155
00:06:17,206 --> 00:06:19,448
[US accent] And, you know,
like, in what currency...
156
00:06:19,448 --> 00:06:22,206
- [Phone buzzes]
- [Ana] So... yeah.
157
00:06:23,379 --> 00:06:25,724
[Irish accent]
Take it, Sergeant.
158
00:06:25,724 --> 00:06:27,413
I'm not going anywhere just yet.
159
00:06:27,413 --> 00:06:29,275

161
00:06:37,103 --> 00:06:39,000
Hey, sorry,
I'm almost done here.
162
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,862
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Hey, slow down, Bec.
163
00:06:41,862 --> 00:06:43,344
I can't understand
what you're saying.
164
00:06:43,344 --> 00:06:45,344
[Tense music]
165
00:06:45,344 --> 00:06:46,827
What do you mean,
they took Jack?

169
00:07:29,310 --> 00:07:31,655
[JD] Jim Dempsey, AFP. AFP.
170
00:07:31,655 --> 00:07:33,103
AFP. AFP.
171
00:07:39,172 --> 00:07:40,172
Bec...
172
00:07:44,379 --> 00:07:46,862
We're gonna bring him back,
I promise.
173
00:07:46,862 --> 00:07:49,586
All right?
We've mobilized the entire team.
174
00:07:49,586 --> 00:07:50,551
[Bec] Don't.
175
00:07:50,551 --> 00:07:51,758
I have agents
at transport hubs...
176
00:07:51,758 --> 00:07:53,137
- Jim, stop, stop.
- ...at airports.
177
00:07:53,137 --> 00:07:55,310
We're gonna find him.
It's just a matter of time.
178
00:07:55,310 --> 00:07:56,965

I couldn't get away.

You can rip into me as much as
you want when this is over,
183
00:08:08,758 --> 00:08:10,172
but right now it is vital
184
00:08:10,172 --> 00:08:12,344
that you tell me everything
that you know about this guy.

he sounded Eastern European.

- What else?
- I don't know.
187

I don't know.
I barely spoke to him.
188
00:08:19,965 --> 00:08:21,586
He... he was late.
189
00:08:21,586 --> 00:08:23,448
He just rocked up
and got straight into it.

No, I didn't mean it like that.

- Oh, so... so this is my fault?
- That's not what I'm saying.
194
00:08:30,689 --> 00:08:31,965
I hired a clown, Jim,
195
00:08:31,965 --> 00:08:34,482

because you don't!

Besides, I'm terrible with kids.

You should probably step in

before he does
something he regrets.
222
00:10:02,448 --> 00:10:05,620
I'd hate for him to wake up
in the morning as a former cop.

- Oh, come on!

00:10:31,103 --> 00:10:32,724
you're telling me that's
some kind of coincidence?
234
00:10:32,724 --> 00:10:33,965
Of course not.
235
00:10:33,965 --> 00:10:35,827
It's connected,
but I don't think she knows how.
236
00:10:35,827 --> 00:10:37,206
How can she pivot that quick?
237
00:10:37,206 --> 00:10:39,000
You give me two minutes
alone with her
238
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:40,000
and I'll find out.

Think about it - the bunker

like she planned,
241
00:10:42,965 --> 00:10:44,241
which means she couldn't know
242

she'd be handcuffed
to that table right now.

Whoever organized the switch,
it wasn't her.
244
00:10:47,896 --> 00:10:49,689
Pushing her any further
is a waste of time,
245
00:10:49,689 --> 00:10:51,034
and we don't have any to waste.
246
00:10:51,034 --> 00:10:53,379
So we agree to the swap, then?

No?
249
00:10:57,310 --> 00:10:58,862
Whoever she is,
she's important enough
250
00:10:58,862 --> 00:11:01,137
for someone to kidnap
a nine-year-old boy to get her.
251
00:11:01,137 --> 00:11:03,413
- Yeah, my nine-year-old boy!
- Exactly.
252
00:11:03,413 --> 00:11:04,965
Which means that
we have the leverage.

- I am not giving that up yet.
- This is my son!

- It's my call.
- It's my fault!

I should have been there
at that party.
256

And, you know, right now Jack
would be sitting on the couch

and scoffing cake!

a dozen global relay stations

as to why I hate clowns.

from RMS

How's Bec holding up?
354
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:28,931
Well, you know.
355
00:15:28,931 --> 00:15:32,896
You know, I, um, worked out
the other day
356
00:15:32,896 --> 00:15:34,275
that Alice and me,
357
00:15:34,275 --> 00:15:37,689
we'll have been married
40 years next April.
358
00:15:37,689 --> 00:15:40,689
[Chuckles] Can you believe that?
359
00:15:40,689 --> 00:15:41,896
As she always said,
360
00:15:41,896 --> 00:15:43,586
the only reason
we lasted that long
361
00:15:43,586 --> 00:15:45,793
was because I spent half
that time on deployment
362
00:15:45,793 --> 00:15:48,068
at the other side of the world.
363
00:15:48,068 --> 00:15:50,551
- Well, she might have a point.
- [Doc Roy chuckles]
364
00:15:50,551 --> 00:15:53,310
The thing is, when I eventually
came home for good...

[Poignant music]
366
00:15:55,275 --> 00:15:57,000
...she was already sick.
367
00:15:58,379 --> 00:16:02,172
What we do comes at a cost, mate.
368
00:16:03,172 --> 00:16:05,379
And it is not one
everyone can pay.
369
00:16:07,586 --> 00:16:10,551
We're just the unlucky buggers
who can.
370
00:16:13,344 --> 00:16:15,344
[Phone buzzes]
371
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:18,586
Hey, what have you got?
372
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:25,000
[Urgent music]
373

[Tires squeal]
374
00:16:37,103 --> 00:16:38,517
[JD] Any movement?
375
00:16:38,517 --> 00:16:39,655
[Evie] Not yet.
376
00:16:39,655 --> 00:16:41,206
Are you sure that's it?
377
00:16:41,206 --> 00:16:42,344
[DeShawn] License plate's
a match.
378
00:16:42,344 --> 00:16:43,344
Bomb squad have a throw-bot
379
00:16:43,344 --> 00:16:45,068
taking a closer look
as we speak.
380
00:16:47,724 --> 00:16:48,931
What is it?
381
00:16:48,931 --> 00:16:50,448
The bot's picking up
what sounds like
382
00:16:50,448 --> 00:16:52,241
a muffled human voice
in the back of the van.
383
00:16:52,241 --> 00:16:53,896
- Jack's in there?
- Boss...
384
00:16:53,896 --> 00:16:56,206
- My son is in that van?
- We don't know yet.
385
00:16:56,206 --> 00:16:57,482
What are you standing
around here for?!
386
00:16:57,482 --> 00:16:59,413
- What's wrong with you people?
- JD!
387
00:16:59,413 --> 00:17:02,758
[Dramatic music]
388
00:17:10,862 --> 00:17:12,758
[Grim music]

[Camera clicks]
390
00:17:38,068 --> 00:17:39,448
Righto, turn him over, will you?
391
00:17:53,137 --> 00:17:54,379
I'm fine, okay?
392
00:17:54,379 --> 00:17:55,931
How many fingers
am I holding up?
393
00:17:55,931 --> 00:17:57,620
Doesn't matter.
394
00:17:57,620 --> 00:17:58,965
Hey, mate, steady on.
395
00:17:58,965 --> 00:18:01,620
Jim, she's just doing her job.
396
00:18:01,620 --> 00:18:03,827
Now, listen to me.
397
00:18:03,827 --> 00:18:05,206
It's not Jack.
398
00:18:06,413 --> 00:18:09,724
It's not Jack.
399
00:18:12,931 --> 00:18:14,689
All right? Come on, mate.
400
00:18:14,689 --> 00:18:17,310
The deceased's an adult male.
401
00:18:17,310 --> 00:18:19,965
Now, there's signs of soot
in his airways.
402
00:18:19,965 --> 00:18:22,551
That tells me he was still alive
at the point of immolation.
403
00:18:22,551 --> 00:18:24,965
Likely the original clown
booked to do the party.
404
00:18:24,965 --> 00:18:26,551
Seems like someone abducted him,
took his place,
405
00:18:26,551 --> 00:18:27,931
then killed him
to cover his tracks.
406
00:18:27,931 --> 00:18:30,241
- What about the explosives?
- We sent a scraping to Blue.
407
00:18:30,241 --> 00:18:33,172
Bomb squad found what looks like
a basic timing device.
408
00:18:33,172 --> 00:18:34,965
Bomber must have known
we wouldn't charge in.
409
00:18:34,965 --> 00:18:36,379
Buy himself some getaway time.
410
00:18:36,379 --> 00:18:38,586
- Smart.
- Mm. There's also this.
411
00:18:38,586 --> 00:18:39,586
Organic matter.
412
00:18:39,586 --> 00:18:41,275
Conifer, maybe,
something like that.
413
00:18:41,275 --> 00:18:43,896
- Why is it painted?
- Why's a dead clown holding it?
414
00:18:43,896 --> 00:18:45,241
[Doc Roy] He's not so much
holding it, mate.
415
00:18:45,241 --> 00:18:47,517
It's gaffer-taped to his hands.
416
00:18:47,517 --> 00:18:48,793
We were meant to find it.
417
00:18:48,793 --> 00:18:50,344
So this is a calling card.
418
00:18:52,310 --> 00:18:54,172
Go wide. International.
419
00:18:54,172 --> 00:18:55,379
Start with "death ritual",
420
00:18:55,379 --> 00:18:57,034
"painted conifer",
"assassin for hire".
421
00:18:57,034 --> 00:18:58,206
[Evie] We're gonna get hits on
422
00:18:58,206 --> 00:18:59,517
every James Ellroy novel
ever written.
423
00:18:59,517 --> 00:19:01,689
Wait - we thinking unsolved
high-profile murders too?
424
00:19:01,689 --> 00:19:02,793
[JD] Yeah, the whole lot.
425
00:19:02,793 --> 00:19:04,689
This guy wants people
to know it was him,
426
00:19:04,689 --> 00:19:06,517
so he's got to be
leaving a trail.
427
00:19:06,517 --> 00:19:08,586
Okay, so still a bit of
a guesstimate,
428
00:19:08,586 --> 00:19:09,827
but it's a start.
429
00:19:10,827 --> 00:19:13,172
[Mackey] I think I preferred him
with the face paint on.
430
00:19:13,172 --> 00:19:15,000
Get this out to all LEOs.
431
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,448
Yes, Mum. Ma'am.
432
00:19:18,827 --> 00:19:20,482
Marm.
433
00:19:20,482 --> 00:19:22,103
[Mackey chuckles]
434
00:19:22,103 --> 00:19:23,551
What about the van ordnance?
435
00:19:23,551 --> 00:19:25,310
Yes, um, so, it looks like
436
00:19:25,310 --> 00:19:28,379
it's a... a hard-to-get
military-grade plastique
437
00:19:28,379 --> 00:19:31,724
with an unusually large velocity
for detonation.
438
00:19:31,724 --> 00:19:33,068
Whose military?
439
00:19:33,068 --> 00:19:35,241
Yours, actually.
440
00:19:35,241 --> 00:19:36,655
Yeah, the same, uh, explosive
441
00:19:36,655 --> 00:19:38,896
was used to blow up that boat
in the harbor.
442
00:19:38,896 --> 00:19:40,793
In case that's relevant.
443
00:19:43,931 --> 00:19:46,413
You know this clown?
444
00:19:48,517 --> 00:19:49,758
It's a small industry.
445
00:19:49,758 --> 00:19:51,896
You work together?
446
00:19:51,896 --> 00:19:53,103
Not together, no.
447
00:19:53,103 --> 00:19:55,068
He's more of a colleague.
448
00:19:55,068 --> 00:19:58,655
I assume he's the man who took
the sergeant's boy, yes?
449
00:19:58,655 --> 00:20:01,275
I thought you said you didn't
know anything about that.
450
00:20:02,137 --> 00:20:05,068
I don't, but considering
you're showing me his photo,
451
00:20:05,068 --> 00:20:08,103
I expect he's contacted you
and offered a swap.
452
00:20:08,103 --> 00:20:11,206
It must be awkward having
someone try to bail you out, no?
453
00:20:11,206 --> 00:20:13,448
I never asked him to.
454
00:20:13,448 --> 00:20:14,689
Then why is he here?
455
00:20:15,655 --> 00:20:18,000
Someone worried you might get
a little chatty?
456
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:19,827
Is that why he wants you back
so bad?
457
00:20:19,827 --> 00:20:22,241
- You'd have to ask him.
- I intend to.
458
00:20:22,241 --> 00:20:25,068
In the meantime, I would love
to hear your thoughts.
459
00:20:25,068 --> 00:20:26,379
[Ana scoffs]
460
00:20:26,379 --> 00:20:28,517
Some more of your savior's
handiwork.
461
00:20:28,517 --> 00:20:31,965
Blew him up in a van with
a conifer taped to his hands.
462
00:20:31,965 --> 00:20:33,137
What do you make of that?
463
00:20:33,137 --> 00:20:34,965
He's always been
a wee bit theatrical.
464
00:20:34,965 --> 00:20:37,413
The explosive is the same type
you used
465
00:20:37,413 --> 00:20:39,551
on the NAVSEA team's speedboat.
466
00:20:39,551 --> 00:20:41,413
You guys compare notes?
467
00:20:41,413 --> 00:20:43,103
I heard it was
a faulty fuel line.
468
00:20:43,103 --> 00:20:44,172
[Mackey] Yeah?
469
00:20:44,172 --> 00:20:46,275
And I heard Elvis
is living in a trailer
470
00:20:46,275 --> 00:20:48,137
out the back of Graceland.
471
00:20:48,137 --> 00:20:50,034
Whether you give them up or not,
472
00:20:50,034 --> 00:20:52,206
your boss is gonna assume
you did.
473
00:20:52,206 --> 00:20:54,793
You don't get to be me
by having a boss.
474
00:20:54,793 --> 00:20:57,172
Having a boss
means taking sides,
475
00:20:57,172 --> 00:20:59,896
and sides are so overrated.
476
00:20:59,896 --> 00:21:02,034
So you're a mercenary, then.
477
00:21:02,034 --> 00:21:03,758
Work for anyone
who can meet your fee.
478
00:21:03,758 --> 00:21:06,758
You're American.
Surely you can understand that.
479
00:21:06,758 --> 00:21:08,551
Still...

in the Caymans.

Agent Mackey,
whatever that clown is asking,
488
00:21:27,137 --> 00:21:28,896
you're better off
giving it to him.
489
00:21:28,896 --> 00:21:31,517
It won't end well
if he has to take it.
490

494
00:21:42,344 --> 00:21:44,103
Yeah, each of them
discovered dead
495
00:21:44,103 --> 00:21:46,310
with a painted conifer
in their hands.
496
00:21:46,310 --> 00:21:47,965
- Same as our clown.
- The conifer's his thing.
497
00:21:47,965 --> 00:21:49,620
Make sure the industry
knows it was him.
498
00:21:49,620 --> 00:21:51,965
- Pays to advertise.
- We did a little digging.
499
00:21:51,965 --> 00:21:54,172
Turns out it's an obscure
pagan tradition
500
00:21:54,172 --> 00:21:55,413
within the Russian
Orthodox Church.
501
00:21:55,413 --> 00:21:56,896
Are we thinking
the clown's religious?
502
00:21:56,896 --> 00:21:58,034
Mm-hm, sure seems that way.
503
00:21:58,034 --> 00:21:59,620
And according to
the latest census,

along with a big ol'
Orthodox church.
507
00:22:06,344 --> 00:22:08,034
What's the conifer for, exactly?
508
00:22:08,034 --> 00:22:10,724
It's meant to stop evil spirits
from finding you.
509
00:22:11,931 --> 00:22:15,448
Yeah? How's it go
with NCIS agents?

- [Woman] Thank you, thank you.
512
00:22:29,655 --> 00:22:30,931
[Mackey] It's quite the turnout.
513
00:22:30,931 --> 00:22:34,034
[Priest] For many people,
the further you get from home,
514
00:22:34,034 --> 00:22:35,655
the more you miss it.
515
00:22:35,655 --> 00:22:37,862
They find comfort in tradition.
516
00:22:37,862 --> 00:22:39,931
[JD] Like laying conifers
on corpses?
517
00:22:39,931 --> 00:22:41,689
That sort of thing
still going on?

[Priest] Not here, no,

Why's that?

Winter is dying season
in Russia.

But forests, we have many.

[Mackey] We're looking for
this man.

We wondered if he's visited your
church over the last few days.

It's Pentecost, our most
important holy day after Easter.

to church for, right?

Ana Neimus? Anonymous?
704
00:32:54,655 --> 00:32:56,620
You've been had, Agent Mackey.
705
00:32:56,620 --> 00:32:57,689
You both have.
706
00:32:58,620 --> 00:33:01,310
Now, your boss
can expect a call from mine.
707
00:33:01,310 --> 00:33:02,689
And mine?
708
00:33:02,689 --> 00:33:04,517
Way bigger than yours.
709
00:33:04,517 --> 00:33:06,517
You'll be logging leave
applications out of a basement
710
00:33:06,517 --> 00:33:08,206
in Maryland
before the week's out.
711
00:33:08,206 --> 00:33:11,413
[Tense music]
712
00:33:13,137 --> 00:33:14,482
[Door opens]
713
00:33:27,310 --> 00:33:29,310
[Tense music continues]
714
00:33:59,793 --> 00:34:02,379
I always figured I'd end up
in one of these things.
715
00:34:02,379 --> 00:34:03,689
Didn't count on
ever getting out.
716
00:34:03,689 --> 00:34:05,344
Don't speak too soon.
717
00:34:05,344 --> 00:34:06,793
Get out.
718
00:34:06,793 --> 00:34:08,068
[Sighs]
719
00:34:11,931 --> 00:34:14,103
[Rankin] Any word
from Sergeant Dempsey?
720
00:34:15,655 --> 00:34:17,862
You knew?
721
00:34:17,862 --> 00:34:19,310
Why didn't you give him up?
722
00:34:19,310 --> 00:34:21,586
And give the G-men a free kick?
723
00:34:21,586 --> 00:34:23,620
Forget about it.
724
00:34:23,620 --> 00:34:24,724
Besides, I told you already,
725
00:34:24,724 --> 00:34:27,655
I'd do the same if my kids
were in danger.
726
00:34:27,655 --> 00:34:29,206
I'm gonna put in a few calls,
727
00:34:29,206 --> 00:34:31,034
see if I can shield you
728
00:34:31,034 --> 00:34:33,758
from the worst of what's coming
down the pike.
729
00:34:34,724 --> 00:34:36,724
Your team too, if I can.
730
00:34:36,724 --> 00:34:39,241
But as for Sergeant Dempsey,
731
00:34:39,241 --> 00:34:41,310
I'm afraid he's on his own.
732
00:34:44,551 --> 00:34:45,793
[DeShawn] Look, come on, Blue.
733
00:34:45,793 --> 00:34:47,310
I need JD's location.
734
00:34:47,310 --> 00:34:48,827
He's already got the jump.
We gotta roll.
735
00:34:48,827 --> 00:34:50,896
[Blue] I don't get it -
according to the tracker,
736
00:34:50,896 --> 00:34:52,862
Doc's van hasn't even
left the base yet.
737
00:34:52,862 --> 00:34:54,862
There's a reason for that.
738
00:34:54,862 --> 00:34:56,275
I found it on the garage floor.
739
00:34:56,275 --> 00:34:59,379
JD did not want us
following him, obviously.
740
00:34:59,379 --> 00:35:00,586
Idiot.
741
00:35:00,586 --> 00:35:02,310
[DeShawn] We know
the direction he's heading.
742
00:35:02,310 --> 00:35:03,448
Try tracking JD's phone.
743
00:35:03,448 --> 00:35:04,965
Let's go.
744
00:35:04,965 --> 00:35:07,482
[Siren wails]
745
00:35:13,103 --> 00:35:14,482
[Ana] I hope you have a plan,
746
00:35:14,482 --> 00:35:16,965
because Yaroslav's not gonna
just hand over your son.
747
00:35:16,965 --> 00:35:18,793
I'm working on it.
748
00:35:25,413 --> 00:35:28,379
When you work it out,
let me know.
749
00:35:30,758 --> 00:35:32,689
[Engine starts]
750
00:35:35,793 --> 00:35:37,965
[Blue] You can run
but you can't hide, boss.
751
00:35:37,965 --> 00:35:40,517
It's just a matter of time.
752
00:35:40,517 --> 00:35:41,758
[Computer bleeps]
753
00:35:41,758 --> 00:35:43,551
- Bingo! I got him.
- Yep.
754
00:35:43,551 --> 00:35:45,482
[Blue] Okay,
triangulating his mobile.
755
00:35:45,482 --> 00:35:47,103
I'm sending you through
his location now.
756
00:35:47,103 --> 00:35:48,448
- [Siren wails]
- Nice!
757
00:35:48,448 --> 00:35:51,379
Couldn't find a sneaky
satellite feed too, could you?
758
00:35:51,379 --> 00:35:53,620
It would make things
a lot easier on our end.
759
00:35:53,620 --> 00:35:55,551
[Siren wails]
760
00:35:55,551 --> 00:35:58,620

[Siren wails]
763
00:36:38,137 --> 00:36:39,965
How's the eye in the sky coming,
Bluebird?
764
00:36:39,965 --> 00:36:41,310
[Blue] I'm working
as fast as I can.
765
00:36:41,310 --> 00:36:43,310
Can't reroute a satellite
at the drop of a hat.
766
00:36:43,310 --> 00:36:45,172
[Rankin] No, but I know someone
who might.
767
00:36:45,172 --> 00:36:47,724
Langley has a couple
of discreet assets
768
00:36:47,724 --> 00:36:49,103
we may be able to bring online.
769
00:36:49,103 --> 00:36:50,758
How long is that gonna take?
770
00:36:50,758 --> 00:36:52,241
A few minutes, maybe.
771
00:36:52,241 --> 00:36:53,965
In a few minutes
it won't matter.
772
00:36:53,965 --> 00:36:55,137
[Engine roars]

- [Jack] Dad, that you?
- [JD] I'm here, mate.
775
00:36:59,172 --> 00:37:02,137
I've got you, okay? Don't worry.
776
00:37:03,137 --> 00:37:06,344
[Tense music]
777
00:37:09,586 --> 00:37:11,034
[JD] No need to do that.
778
00:37:11,034 --> 00:37:13,379
I did like you said.
I'm clean. Trust me.
779
00:37:13,379 --> 00:37:17,068
Trust is not commodity
I deal in, Sergeant.
780
00:37:18,034 --> 00:37:19,689
What is your name this week, darling?
781
00:37:19,689 --> 00:37:21,000
Ana.
782
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:22,551
Hm.
783
00:37:22,551 --> 00:37:25,103
[DeShawn] Closing in
on JD's location.
784
00:37:25,103 --> 00:37:27,310
- [Determined music]
- [Siren wails]
785
00:37:41,137 --> 00:37:42,620
[DeShawn] It's JD's phone.
786
00:37:44,896 --> 00:37:47,724
I need you
to get down on your knees.
787
00:37:49,379 --> 00:37:50,586
What are you talking about?
788
00:37:50,586 --> 00:37:52,965
I did exactly what you told me
to do.
789
00:37:52,965 --> 00:37:54,172
I brought her here.
790
00:37:54,172 --> 00:37:55,862
No one knows where I am.
791
00:37:57,482 --> 00:37:59,413
- Now give me my son!
- [Yaroslav] Or what?
792
00:37:59,413 --> 00:38:02,793
Yours is not a strong
bargaining position.
793
00:38:02,793 --> 00:38:05,793
Not as strong as mine, anyway.
794
00:38:05,793 --> 00:38:07,896
- [Jack whimpers]
- [Unsettling music]
795
00:38:07,896 --> 00:38:09,965
We made a deal.
796
00:38:09,965 --> 00:38:11,000
Fair trade.
797
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:13,344
That only happens in the movies.
798
00:38:13,344 --> 00:38:17,620
And this one doesn't have
happy ending.
799
00:38:17,620 --> 00:38:19,034
- [Jack] Dad!
- Don't listen to him, mate.
800
00:38:19,034 --> 00:38:20,689
- We'll be okay.
- [Jack sobs]
801
00:38:20,689 --> 00:38:24,172
Now... down on your knees.

Whoa!

00:38:31,896 --> 00:38:33,965
Can we get one of these?
805
00:38:33,965 --> 00:38:38,275
[Blue] Searching for the van in
the vicinity of the bus stop.

[Suspenseful music]
807
00:38:48,068 --> 00:38:51,000
O Lord God,
in the name of they beloved son
808
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:53,172
who gave himself for a ransom
to death...
809
00:38:53,172 --> 00:38:55,689
I'm sorry, is all this
really necessary?
810
00:38:55,689 --> 00:38:58,172
Don't get me wrong, it's messed
up in all the right ways,
811
00:38:58,172 --> 00:39:00,137
but there are multiple agencies
scouring the city for us
812
00:39:00,137 --> 00:39:01,137
as we speak.
813
00:39:01,137 --> 00:39:03,103
Could we maybe cut to the chase?
814
00:39:03,103 --> 00:39:06,379
I'm helping steer their souls
into the next life.
815
00:39:06,379 --> 00:39:08,000
[Ana] I get it, I'm Catholic, but...
816
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:09,793
...I don't suppose
there's a shortcut?
817
00:39:13,413 --> 00:39:15,310
I've got eyes.

[Intense music]
819
00:39:22,517 --> 00:39:24,551

- [DeShawn] Let's move.

[Siren wails]
821
00:39:35,896 --> 00:39:38,793
[Yaroslav] Do thou loose the
grievous shackles of our death
822
00:39:38,793 --> 00:39:40,931
and speed them
towards salvation.
823
00:39:40,931 --> 00:39:42,655
Not exactly speeding, are we?
824
00:39:44,034 --> 00:39:46,310
Never been a big believer
in formal religion.
825
00:39:46,310 --> 00:39:47,689
- Is that so?
- Yeah.
826
00:39:47,689 --> 00:39:50,137
Just an excuse for people
to behave badly.
827
00:39:50,137 --> 00:39:52,827
You know I'm doing this
for your souls.
828
00:39:52,827 --> 00:39:54,310
Yeah, good onya.
829
00:39:56,034 --> 00:39:57,206
Get on with it, then.
830
00:39:57,206 --> 00:39:58,827

Are you okay?

Yeah.

00:40:17,689 --> 00:40:18,758
It's okay. It's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay, you're safe.

We had a deal too.
843
00:40:39,896 --> 00:40:41,448
I gave you the gun.
I trusted you.
844
00:40:41,448 --> 00:40:44,448
I'm with Yaroslav when
it comes to trust, I'm afraid.

I'm not used to being played, Sergeant.

the same thing

...phone a friend.

who answers.
