Summary: Callen returns back to the NCIS Office of Special Projects to solve a
kidnapping case.
The police chase after a blue Tahoe
through the highway. They corner the vehicle,
draw their weapons and order the
passengers to get out. The driver pulls
out an Uzi and starts to shoot at the officers.
The police open fire and take out
the gunmen. After the battle, they open
the back seat and find the body of a Navy
officer.
Later, G Callen wakes up and has a
flashback of when he was shot. Sam Hanna meets with Callen and asks him if he is ready
to come back to work. Hanna takes his stuff and brings him to the new OSP office, which is an
abandoned water plant administration building. They enter the building and see that it is packed
with agents. Hetty, the operational manager, is surprised that G is back so soon. She tells him
that he needs to update his biometric profile. Kensi welcomes Callen back. While walking to the
briefing room, Callen meets Dominic, the teams newest member.
The team receives a briefing from Vance. He tells Callen that the case regarding the people
who shot him is still pending. Vance says that their next case involves investigating the death of
a Navy intelligence officer named Frank McGuire. He says McGuire was kidnapped by Mexican
cartel members then killed during in a gun battle when the police cornered them. He says that
the the US and Mexican government is going to launch a raid on the Mexican drug cartels in less
than twelve hours. The team watches the video of the shootout and see one of the kidnappers
make sure that McGuire was killed by shooting into the SUV.
Hanna drives Callen to McGuire’s apartment. Hanna says he will pose as a real estate agent
while Callen poses as a potential buyer. They break into McGuire’s apartment and hear a caller
access his answering machine and erase all of the messages. They call Eric, the technician, at
headquarters and ask him to get into McGuire’s phone logs.
Back at the apartment, they find a picture of McGuire celebrating Fleet Week with a young girl.
They find a birthday card from McGuire’s niece, Emma. They take his laptop then leave. Callen
sees a group of gardeners, tells them he is interested in moving in and asks them if the area is
safe. Callen says that he heard a Navy officer that lived in the apartment was recently killed. The

gardener says that McGuire had friends pick him up in a Blue Tahoe every day that week. Hanna
sees a towncar waiting outside and chases after it. The towncar driver quickly throws his car in
reverse, spins around and speeds away.
Callen and Hanna return to headquarters. They figure that the people who picked up McGuire
put a bag over his head in order to prevent him from seeing where they were going. Dominic
says that the only family that McGuire had was a sister who has a daughter named Emma.
Kinsi volunteers Nate, the psychologist, and herself to tell her the bad news about her brother.
They see that McGuire has been receiving a lot of calls lately from Bobby J, a friend of his
who owns a private security company. Callen and Hanna visit Bobby J and he admits that
he was in the towncar in front of McGuire’s apartment. Bobby J says that he knows nothing
about McGuire’s kidnapping. Hanna sees Bobby loading boxes of weapons and asks him if he is
planning a hunting party. Bobby J says that they are done talking.
Kinsi and Nate visit McGuire’s sister, Helen. She says that has noticed nothing strange going
on with McGuire in the past few weeks. The phone rings and Helen goes out to the balcony to
answer it. Nate tells Kinsi that it seems like Helen is lying to them.
Back at headquarters, Hetty calls Callen to her office. She gives him a set of keys to an Impala,
a smart phone and a new wardrobe for his undercover work. Hetty asks Callen what G, his first
name, stands for and he says that he doesn’t know because he is an orphan. Eric tells Hanna
that he is hacking into McGuire’s computer. Kinsi returns and tells the team that Helen appears
that she is more in stress than in grief. She figures that Emma is in trouble. They look at Emma’s
personal webpage and see that she hasn’t posted any messages in a week. They figure someone
kidnapped her.
Eric loads up files from McGuire’s laptop. They discover that McGuire was sending the Mexican
drug cartel satellite photos of the border. They call Vance and tell him the operation to take
out the drug cartels has been compromised. Vance tells the team to find out which cartel is holding
Emma. They figure that McGuire told Bobby J about his situation and he was preparing to
rescue her. They see that Bobby J’s cellphone has been activated and Callen and Hanna head to
its location. Kinsi meets with Helen and tells her that she knows her daughter was kidnapped.
Callen and Hanna drive into a primitive road and run into two gunmen in an SUV. They start
to shoot at each other and Hanna and Callen are able to kill the men. They reach a house and
find Bobby J. wounded inside. They search for Emma, but she is not there. An ambulance arrives
to take Bobby J to the hospital. Bobby tells Callen to find Emma. Callen says that the SUV had
a GPS system. They find that one of its destinations was a mansion owned by Manny Cortez, the
leader of a drug cartel. Nate says that Cortez is known to cut off people’s toes.
Helen gets a call from Luiz, her ex-husband. Kinsi picks up the phone and tells him that she
works for NCIS and will do everything possible to find Emma.
Callen and Hanna drive up to the gate of Cortez’s mansion. Callen calls Nate and asks him if
he thinks Emma is still alive. Nate says that it is unlikely, but if she is, she doesn’t have much
time left. Hetty tells the team to give Cortez what he wants. Callen and Hanna get on the gate
intercom and tell the guard they have satellite information. Callen and Hanna are brought inside
the house and frisked. Callen tells a man that he is a lawyer. He says that he has friends who can
get him realtime satellite data. Callen takes a photo of the man on his smartphone and sends it
back to headquarters. Nate says that the man is not Cortez. Emma runs out and calls the man
her daddy. Kinsi calls headquarters and tells them that Luiz is aware of what NCIS is doing. Luiz
pulls out a gun and tells Callen that he knows he is part of the NCIS. Luiz says that he has been
working for Cortez over the last seven years. Callen pretends that he just received a call from
McGuire, hands Luiz the phone and uses the distraction to take his gun away. Callen and Hanna
fight and overpower the men. Callen gets Helen on the phone and gives it to Emma. Helen tells
her daughter that she can come home now.
At headquarters, Hetty gives Callen a stack of paperwork that has piled up while he was
recovering from his gun shot wounds. Hanna offers Callen a place to stay, but he says that it
would be too noisy. Later that night, Hetty gets done with her work and finds Callen asleep on
the couch. She tucks him in then goes home.

Summary: As the team is working the murder of a drug dealer, the case ends up
being personal for one of the team members.
A drug deal takes place at a mansion
by the sea. Several masked men storm
the building and take the cash being used
during the transaction. The drug dealers
spot them and start to shoot. The men
jump into the water then swim away as
the drug dealers rain down bullets.
At the headquarters, Hanna helps Dominic
hone his fighting skills. The team
assembles for a briefing. They watch a
surveillance camera taken at the Malibu
home that was raided. By studying
the hand signals, Hanna figures that the
gunmen were a group of Navy SEALS.
Hanna recognizes one of the men as Curt
Holgate. They load up his file and see that he is out of service. Eric finds that there was another
member of Holgate’s team, Eric Ramirez, who was shot and killed recently while he was at a
grocery store.
Hanna and Callen visit Holgate at the Federal Building. Callen records Hanna and Holgate
as they chat. Hanna offers his condolences for the loss of his Ramirez. Holgate says he has to
go, then takes off. They return to headquarters and watch the video. Nate says that Holgate was
trying to appear relaxed. Eric says that one of Holgate’s teammates, Timothy Jackson, has been
missing since the day of the mansion raid.
Callen and Hanna go to Timothy’s trailer near the beach. Callen finds a key in a panel and gets
them inside. They see a picture of Holgate, Jackson, Ramirez and another man. Callen wonders
if the men hid the drug money underwater. Callen figures that Holgate and his team learned
about the drug dealers then decided to use their training to steal from them. Hanna says that
SEALS don’t act on greed.
Dominic and Kensi plant a tracking device/bug on Holgate’s car. Dominic says that the team
has been treating him harshly since he is the new guy. Kensi says that Hanna justs wants to
5

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
protect him when he gets on the field. The fourth member of Holgate’s team arrives and meets
with Holgate. They spot Kensi at the scene. Kensi pretends that she is following her cheating
boyfriend and starts to key a car. Holgate tells his teammate to meet him later.
Callen and Hanna learn that the fourth man is named Morris Raspen. They visit the wife of
Ramirez. She says that Raspen was at Ramirez’s funeral but she doesn’t really know him. Eric
calls Hanna and says that by looking at Timothy’s credit card history, he discovered he was at a
restaurant the day of the shooting.
Nate visits Heather, the coroner. She shows Nate the body of Ramirez. She says that Ramirez
was shot twice in the heart like it was done by a professional. Heather says that she just learned
that one of the people who was killed during the mansion shoot out was an undercover cop.
Callen and Hanna go to the restaurant and see Timothy’s motorcycle parked outside. They
ask a waitress if they recognize any of Holgate’s men. She says that three of them were there and
they got into an argument that they took outside.
Eric calls Callen and tells him that the police discovered a body that washed up that matches
the description of Timothy. They go to the beach and find Timothy with a gunshot wound to his
side.
The team watches surveillance tapes taken from the restaurant. They see that Holgate and
Raspen returned to the restaurant after the argument they had outside. Nate figures that Jackson
was shot when he tried to escape the mansion. After Hanna leaves, Nate tells Callen that
being a Navy SEAL is a big part of Hanna’s identity. He says that if the SEALS are corrupt, it will
hurt him.
Hetty visits Hanna as he punches at a heavy bag. Hetty tells Hanna that he is more than a
NCIS agent and a SEAL.
Kensi and Dominic stake out in front of Holden’s car. Kensi pulls out a bag and goes to the
back to pee. Before she starts, they see Holden get into his car. Kensi returns to her seat before
they start to follow. Holden stops and pulls over. Eric uses traffic cameras and learns that Holden
is not in his car.
Meanwhile, Callen and Hanna go to Raspen’s apartment. Raspen runs after they call for him.
In the parking lot, Hanna and Raspen get into a fight. They end up pointing a gun at each other.
Callen points his gun at Raspen and orders him to drop his gun.
They bring Raspen back to the headquarters and ask him if he robbed the drug dealers. Callen
tells Raspen that one of the drug dealers he killed was a undercover cop. Hanna heads to the
room, but Nate stops him and tells him to let Callen finish. Hanna says that they are wasting
time. He says he is going to step out, then return later. He informs Nate that if Callen hasn’t
gained anything, he will forcefully get what Raspen knows himself.
While listening to music, Hetty hears who she thinks is Hanna punching at the heavy bag.
Instead she finds Dominic punching away. She tells Dominic to get over the fact that he lost a
suspect. She tells him stories about how Callen and Hanna messed up during missions. Just
before she leaves, she gives him pointers on how to box.
Hanna breaks into the drug dealer’s mansion. He hears a noise and pulls out his gun. A drug
dealer that was at the mansion appears and identifies himself as LAPD. The man says that he
lost his partner during the raid. He says that he was there to try to look for a lead on the people
who killed him. Hanna returns to the headquarters and tells the team about the man he just
met, an LAPD officer name Grozman. Raspen says that Grozman is probably dirty since he shot
the other undercover policeman in the back.
Callen asks Raspen who’s idea was it to go into the mansion. He says that Jackson learned
that one of the men that shot Ramirez was at the mansion. Raspen says that Holgate tried to
stop him, but Jackson went anyway. Nate tells Hanna that he thinks Raspen is telling the truth.
Raspen says that they followed Jackson when he swam towards the mansion in a improvised
and unarmed raid. Raspen asks for a lawyer.
Hanna enters the room and tells Raspen that the SEAL code is to never leave a man behind.
Hanna orders him to tell him where Holgate is before Grozman finds him. Raspen says that
Holgate is in a motel.
In the morning, Hanna surprises Holgate while he is in bed. He brings him down to Grozman
and another man and hands him over. Grozman puts Holgate in his car. Hanna gets in his car
and drives off. The NCIS team watches the officer in a camera hidden on Holgate. Grozman asks
Holgate where the money is. He says that his partner has the money at the golf course.

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
Callen poses as Raspen at the golf course. Grozman has his partner cover him above with a
scoped rifle. Grozman brings Holgate to meet with Callen. He orders Callen to throw his weapons
in the pond. Callen tells Grozman that the money is in a bag. Kensi and Dominic surprise the
sniper and tell him to drop his weapon. He turns and the NCIS shoot and kill him. Grozman
hears the commotion, then shoots and hits Holgate in his abdomen. Hanna emerges from the
pond and shoots Grozman. Eric says that ambulances are on the way.
Later at the headquarters, Hanna cleans his gun. He tells Callen that Holgate will fully recover.
Callen asks if Hanna is mad at Holgate and his team. Hanna says he understands what they did
since a brother is created when people are in combat together. Callen says that they were in
combat together and asks if they have a brotherhood. Hanna sees that Callen is getting a little
sappy, says goodnight, then leaves.

Summary: During a Marine Corps training exercise a predator and hellfire missile
is hijacked, resulting in the death a Marine. The team must locate this
UAV before it can be used against America.
The Marines and Air Force conduct a
live fire military exercise. An Air Force operator
manipulates a drone that flies over
a team of Marines. He presses a button
to launch a missile at a building, but it
doesn’t respond. He loses control of the
drone and it launches a missile at his
partner Mike.
The next day, Kensi tells the agents
that she canceled her second date that
she was supposed to have with a man.
Hetty says that most men don’t know how
to deal with strong women. She passes
out sexual harassment guidelines for a
mandatory seminar next week. She tells Kensi that George Hamilton told her that he loves women
who plays hard to get.
They assemble at the briefing room. Eric shows the team footage taken by a Predator drone.
He says that the drone launched a Hellfire missile that killed a Marine named Michael Hazlett.
The operator, Holden Briggs, states that he didn’t misfire. Callen and Hanna wait to have a
meeting set up by Hetty. A man enters their car and tells them that they only have sixty seconds
to talk. He tells them that they had four drones that were recently hacked. He asks them to tell
Hetty that they are even now for what happened in Nepal, then leaves the car.
Eric finds that the drone was hacked into and the video was uploaded onto a website. They
replay the full video and see the drone safely land where it is later picked up by an unshaven
man getting out of a semitruck. Eric starts a database search linked to surveillance cameras to
find out who the driver is. The team figures that the man on the video wants to sell the military
technology. Eric hacks into the website containing the drone video and crashes it. Hetty screams
and asks Eric if he was responsible for crashing the website that held the cat and trampoline
video that she was watching.
Nate tells Callen and Hanna that Holden is narcissistic. Hanna sits down with Holden. He
says that Mike was his friend. He says that there was no system failure and blames a hacker
9

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
for taking control of the drone. He says that the system is experimental. Holden says that he
should be flying in Afghanistan. He says that drones can be hacked and fighter pilots can’t. After
their interview, Nate tells Hanna and Callen that Holden is not their guy. Eric calls the team and
tells them that he found a classroom of computer programmers that are expecting to meet with
a reformed hacker who nobody knows the face of. Callen figures that one of them can pose as
the hacker. Eric tells them that his database search found that the face of the man in the video
matches Youseff Khalid. Callen and Hanna go to Khalid’s house and break inside. Noboby is
there, but they find maps and a book full of radical Islamic teachings. Youseff arrives and shoots
at the agents. After his clip is empty, he tries to run, but is caught by Hanna and beaten. He
reaches in his bag and starts a timer for a bomb. Hanna shoots Youseff and runs with Callen.
Seconds later, the bomb explodes.
The team returns to headquarters and report that Youseff was shot then blown up. Hetty
asks them what happened. Callen asks her what happened in Nepal, but she ignores him then
leaves. Kensi dresses up to pose as Razor Mantis, the hacker that will speak to the computer
programmers. Hetty and Nate prep her on the assignment.
Dominic tells Callen and Hanna that they found a weapon cache at Youseff’s house. He says
that he worked for a company owned by a man named Arthur Jensen.
Kensi appears in front of the class and introduces herself as Razor Mantis. Dominic plants
himself in the class to provide Kensi help with technical questions. Eric examines the webchat
and internet queries made by the class and sees that they are buying her cover story. A student
raises his hand and asks a trick question which she answers with Dominic’s help. The student
asks another question which Eric instructs her to ignore. Eric uses the equipment at headquarters
to hack into the programmer’s computers. They locate a suspicious student named Joel
Hardy who sneaks out. Kensi receives a phone call from Eric and uses the opportunity to step
outside and meet Joel. Kensi plays hard to get, which entices Joel to ask her out.
Callen and Hanna meet with Arthur Jensen. They tell him that Youseff was killed. Arthur says
that Youseff was just a business associate. Arthur says that he hired him to write code. After he
worked for him, he realized that he had extremist religious views, but couldn’t fire him. Arthur
says that he has to go, then gets in the car and leaves.
Kensi and Joel Hardy have drinks at a bar. Kensi flirts with him and has him admit that he
hacked into the military network. Joel leaves to go to the bathroom. Dominic follows him, washes
his hands and sees a pool of blood on the floor of one of the stalls. He opens it up and sees Joel
Hardy dead.
The team returns to headquarters and plays surveillance video from the bar. They see a man
leave the restroom just after the student walked inside. Callen tells Kensi that she is off the hook
for date number 2. They run the killer through facial recognition software. Outside, Nate finds
Dominic alone and tells him that he did what he could and that the death of the student was not
his fault.
Callen tells Hetty that no one has claimed Youseff’s body yet. The next morning, Hanna wakes
up Nate and Dominic and shows them the equipment he found at Joel Hardy’s apartment. Dominic
says that it is sophisticated enough to hack into a drone. Callen asks the team to look over
the case. Nate says that Youseff was a perfect fall guy. He describes Joel as a whiz kid who could
hack into the Air Force, but was immature. They figure that even though Holden had an axe to
grind against the drone program, it doesn’t seem like he would kill. Eric tells the team that he
hacked Joel’s computer and learned that he sent codes to Jensen’s company.
The team learns that Joel’s killer is a man named Hamzi Khan, an Afghan man. They discover
that his wife was killed by a drone attack. They see that his wife was Arthur Jensen’s sister. They
figure that Jensen and Hamzi wanted revenge against the Americans using drones. The team
discovers the location of the semi-truck used to pick up the drone. Callen and Hanna pull over
the driver. He says that he was hired to drive the truck to the port by Jensen. Eric calls Callen
and informs him that the drone’s transponder has been activated and is now circling the city.
The team considers crashing the drone servers, but learn that Jensen is using his own server.
Callen asks Eric to find Jensen. Nate meets with Holden and tells him that the drone is airborne.
He says that they think that the person who hijacked his drone is going to use it. Holden says
that it is a consequence of using drones. Dominic brings Holden the equipment they took from
Joel’s house and asks him to use it to take control of the drone. Holden says that he lost a friend
the last time he controlled a drone. Dominic tells Holden that he is being given a second chance
10

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
to save people. Eric is able to hack into the drone’s targeting system and sees that he is aiming
at a high school. Callen and Hanna triangulate Jensen’s signal and see that he is controlling the
drone from a yacht. Callen distracts Hamzi as Hanna chokes him out. They board the ship and
find Jensen on the controls of the drone. He launches a missile just before Callen shoots him
in the shoulder. Holden is able to take control of the missile and send it into the water. Holden
thanks the team for letting him redeem himself.
Later, Callen discovers that Hetty told Hanna about her time in Nepal. Nate asks Dominic if
he wants to talk to him, but Dominic says that he is good.

Summary: The search for the main culprit that killed an Iraqi businessman goes
on with Special Agent Sam Hanna and Special Agent ”G” Callen leading
the investigation.
Two men wait for their target to arrive
at the airport. The target realizes that the
men are after him and runs up the escalator.
He crosses through traffic and into
a parking garage. He pushes a woman as
she is about to get in her car and steals
it. He runs into a line of cars at the exit
gate. He turns around and speeds to the
roof. He looks behind him and sees a man
with a gun. He reverses and hits the man
as he shoots. The target exits the car then escapes.
At headquarters, Eric is happy that he now has 1000 facebook friends. Hanna tells him that
the enemy can use his account to gain intelligence. Eric asks him if he is on any social networking
site and Hanna says that he is undercover. Eric says that it is not normal. Nate says that social
networking sites are a way to fulfill the needs of the socially challenged.
Hetty asks Callen about a bloodied white shirt. She tells Callen that his new color scheme
is black. Kensi walks in wearing a black dress. Hetty announces that Kensi is on assignment.
Kensi says that she gained valuable intelligence. The team realize that Hetty is trying to cover up
for Kensi’s late return from her date.
Vance gives the team a video briefing. He tells them about a man named Walter Flynn who
works for a contractor named Sedential Security. He says that he Flynn killed an Iraqi man that
he was supposed to protect. Sedential found out that Flynn was arriving in LA and tried to take
custody of him. Vance says that their attempt failed and resulted in the death of one employee.
Vance says that the DOD wants them to intervene since a private contracting company is acting
recklessly. He tells them to meet with Sedential’s CEO Peter Caldwell. Vance congratulates Eric
on reaching 1000 friends.
Callen and Hanna meet with Caldwell. They says that Flynn became trigger happy. Caldwell
says that Flynn is good at killing people quickly, but he is more dangerous since he is mentally
unstable.
At the base, Nate says that the Marine corp gave Flynn the structure that he needed. Hanna
sees a mix of commendations and demerits. They watch the video of Flynn’s escape. Hanna
13

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
wonders where Flynn went. They play the surveillance tape and see Flynn get picked up by a
driver with a jeep.
Nate tells Callen and Hanna that he thinks Flynn had a psychotic break. He thinks that Flynn
is in LA for a reason. Eric looks at the tape and sees that the license plate is not visible. They
see a bunch of anti-government bumper stickers. They also see that the driver has a tattoo. They
figure that the driver is a woman. Eric says that Flynn’s foster brother, Chad Ellis, owns a gun
shop in the valley.
Callen and Hanna walk toward a tattoo parlor. They meet an artist and show her a photo of
the driver. She says that the driver’s name is Cherry and that she paid in cash.
Kensi and Dominic go to the gun shop and see that the door is unlocked even though the sign
says it is closed. They go to the back room and find Chad dead and hanging on a hook.
Eric says that he cross checked the name Cherry with people who own a Jeep. He says that
he found a woman named Cherise Dawson. He says that he found a ton of information about
her. He says that she went to the same high school as Flynn and that they are facebook friends.
Eric reports that he caught up with her for a while, then stopped. Nate says that it is normal.
Eric says that Flynn wanted to meet with her. Callen thinks that Flynn is using Cherise. Kensi
says that Chad was tortured and wonder why.
Callen and Hanna head towards Cherise’s house. Hanna knocks, but there is no answer. They
wonder if Cherise ended up like Chad. They break in with guns drawn. They don’t find anyone
there. Hanna sees that the fridge is filled mostly with soy products except for a steak sandwich.
They suspect that Flynn was there.
Kensi finds Cherise at work and asks if she remembers her. Kensi says that she got an facebook
invite from Flynn and asks if she knows him. Cherise says that she kind of knows him.
Cherise says that she is late for work and runs off. Kensi calls Hanna and they figure that
Cherise and Flynn were in contact. They decide to wait and watch.
While Callen and Hanna hang out, Hanna constructs origami swans out of lollipop wrappers.
Callen looks at the swan and teases him about the construction. Kensi calls Hanna and tells
him that Cherise is about to come home. Kensi sees a Black SUV pull up. Kensi photographs the
license plate and reads off the number to Eric. He tells Kensi that the car belongs to Sedential.
He asks Kensi why they are there since the NCIS team was supposed to handle the investigation.
Kensi grabs a battering ram out of her trunk, slams it into the SUV and asks the Sedential
employees if they need a tow truck.
Kensi tells Hanna and Callen that there is no sign of Flynn. They wonder if they should go
to Cherise’s work, which is a video game company. Dominic says that Cherise likes the bad boy
type. Callen returns to the base and is dressed by Hetty. He also gets a fabricated resume from
Eric and information about the manager of Cherise’s company.
Later, Callen sits down for an interview, but is quickly told that he is not needed. Callen asks
the manager to look at his resume. The manager sees that Callen has evidence that he filed a
fraudulent tax return. The manger decides to hire him. The manager sits Callen down at his new
desk which is next to Cherise’s. He sits down to playtest a role playing fantasy game.
Callen calls Eric and asks for help. Eric guides him on how to play. He notices that Callen’s
online character is dying just as his boss is about to notice his poor performance. Callen asks
for plan B. Eric shuts down the power to the building. The manager tells everyone that they have
the rest of the day off. Hanna sabotages Cherise’s car. Callen hears that she is in trouble and
says that he can fix it. He lifts up her hood and says that he can fix it tomorrow. He offers her
a ride home and she accepts. Cherise asks how she can repay him. He asks if he can use her
bathroom and get a beer. Cherise says that her boyfriend is coming home soon, so there should
be no problem.
Callen flirts with Cherise in the house. Hanna sees Flynn pull up in his motorcycle. Cherise
greets him and says that Callen is her coworker. Callen and Flynn talk about the military. Flynn
says that Iraq was tough, but not as tough as what happened afterwards. Hanna sees two Sedential
employees about to enter the house. Callen warns Cherise and Flynn. The Sedential employees
and Flynn fire at each other. Hanna enters and orders the employees to put down their
weapons. Flynn escapes on his motorcycle.
Hanna asks the employees what happened. The employees say that they were angry since
Flynn killed one of their men. Callen asks Cherise if she is okay. She figure that Callen is not
a game tester. Cherise says that she downloaded an encrypted SIM card for him. She says that
14

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
she couldn’t do it since the card was encrypted. She thinks that Flynn lied to her. Flynn calls
Cherise and asks her to put Callen on. He says that he didn’t do what Sedential said he did. He
says that he has some unfinished business to take care of.
Eric examines the SIM card. Callen figures that Flynn wants to take out Caldwell, the CEO of
Sedential. Eric is able to download a video from the card.
Later, Hanna and Callen arrive at an event that Caldwell is going to appear at. Kensi spots
Flynn and directs the team to his location. Callen and Hanna confront Flynn just as he pulls out
his gun. Kensi asks Dominic and Eric to play the video on the street. They see a video of Caldwell
shoot and kill the Iraqi business man that was blamed on Flynn.
The team figures that Caldwell wanted to frame Flynn for the Iraqi’s murder. Callen tells Flynn
that he will be protected until he testifies. Flynn says that they do what they do so others can
live normal lives. Callen pulls over and stops the car. Flynn gets out and leaves. Later, Cherise
receives a bouquet of flowers from Flynn.

Summary: The team is investigating the death of a contractor, fearing the classified
information he had is his possession is lost. They find a lead that
has ties to Director Vance.
A couple on a jet ski video tape themselves
towing their friend on a wake
board. Another jet skier loses control and
crashes on the shore. A group of people
examine him and find he was shot.
At headquarters, Hanna suggests that
Callen live on a boat. Nate notices that
Dom is filming him. Dom says he took
an undercover training course. He asks
the team what happened to the guy he
replaced, but they don’t tell him.
Hanna figures that Nate’s office is still
being worked on. Hetty calls the team to
the ops room. She plays them a tape of
the shooting. She explains that the victim,
Daniel Su, worked in the DARPA project. She explains that the police suspect the North
Koreans killed him since Su defected from the country. They wonder why he was killed so late
after he defected. They figure the DARPA contract raised his bounty. Callen learns Su rented a
jet ski at the same place every week and wonders if the killer waited for him.
Downstairs, Hetty finds Nate reading a comic book. Nate says he is reading a graphic novel.
He says the novel is deep, but she says she thinks he can get more from a normal book. She
asks him if he knows if the other agents didn’t pass muster and advises he doesn’t know.
Callen and Hanna go to Daniel’s house and knock. Callen discovers the door is unlocked.
They enter and find blood stains on the walls and the house ransacked. Hanna notices a bloody
lamp on the floor. They look closer and find the body of a woman.
Back at headquarters, they learn the dead woman was named Sally Morris, who provided Su
money for his company. Dom wonders if Su died because of business reasons. Hanna looks at
Su’s wound and figures he was shot from above.
After the team arrives at the beach, Hanna suggest to Callen that he live in a mobile home.
Callen says he likes the boat idea better. Hanna figures the killer used a silencer. He figures the
17

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
sniper shot from a boat. Hanna says the killer had skills. Callen sees a camera and wonders if it
captured him.
At headquarters, they watch the video and see a person with a net on his back. Eric uses
another camera in the parking lot and finds the sniper was a woman. Vance walks in and says
the woman is Lee Wuan Kai. He informs the team that they are in trouble. He explains that Kai
flew into the country using a fake passport. He says she changes her appearance. He says Kai is
an assassin in exile. Vance tells Callen and Hanna that they should meet with a DARPA expert
named Frank Davis. He says Kai will kill anyone who knows about the DARPA technology.
Vance meets with Hetty. He asks her if she is getting settled into the new office. She shows him
a picture of herself taken when she was on set with Lawrence Olivia. Hetty asks if the assassin
is Kai. Vance says he first met Kai in 1984. He says she left a body count every time. Hetty asks
him if she is his nemesis.
Dom looks at the forensic data from Su’s place. They see that Kai killed Sally with a lamp after
she discovered her at the house. Kensi tells Vance the crime scene analysis will be complete by
tomorrow, but he says it is too long. He calls Abby and asks her to look at some blood splatter.
She asks him to say hi to Eric for him. He hands the phone to Eric. She asks him if Vance is in a
bad mood. He sends her photos of the crime scene. Eric says he is trying to get a clearer picture
of Kai’s car.
Hanna and Callen meet with Frank at the safe house. He says Su was very secretive. He says
there were parts of the work he kept to himself. They ask him if Sally knew anything. Frank
believed Sally was just a financier. Hanna says Kai doesn’t know that the technology died with
Su.
During their car ride home, Callen says he doesn’t trust Frank. Hanna says he thinks it is
because he is a buerocrat like the ones he dealt with as a kid. Callen tells Vance that Frank
stated that Su took his secrets to the grave. Callen says he doesn’t believe Frank because he is
a beurocrat. They see Daniel’s brother Jimmy walk out of his apartment with his wife Aimee.
Hanna notices a rifle on a rooftop and tells them to get down. Several shots rain down, but the
team is safely hidden behind a van. Meanwhile in the building, Kai breaks down her gun and
escapes.
Callen and Hanna bring Jimmy to the safe house. Hanna reports that Kai took all the evidence
including her shell casings. Jimmy says his brother left nothing for him. Aimee asks what will
happen now. Callen says they will try to neutralize the threat, but if they can’t they might have
to join the witness protection program. Jimmy refuses to run. Eric discovers Kai’s car in a traffic
video. He learns that she is registered at a hotel. After Callen and Hanna leave, Kensi notices that
Jimmy and Aimee are quietly arguing. She asks Nate to position himself so she can read their
lips. She sees him beg her not to tell. Kensi figures that Jimmy knows all of Daniel’s business.
Vance, Callen and Hanna arrive at the hotel. Callen figures that the case is personal to Vance.
Vance uses a key card and enters Kai’s room. He notices pictures of Daniel on her desk. The
phone rings and Vance picks it up to speak to Kai. She tells him she is flattered that he is
looking for her himself. Vance gets on his cellphone and calls Callen as he talks to Kai. Callen
instructs Eric to trace the call. He informs them the call is coming from the hotel. He directs them
to her cell phone location. They enter a gym and find she is gone. Callen picks up the phone and
talks to Vance. He tells Callen that Kai said she didn’t kill Sally Morris.
Back at headquarters, the team wonders if they should believe Kai. Dom says Daniel Su’s
security system can tell how many people were in the house. He says Sally let her killer inside the
house since he knew him. Eric finds that Jimmy and Frank called each other often. Callen learns
that Jimmy knew more than he admitted. Vance figures they need to have Jimmy admit to his
involvement. They figure that since he didn’t meet Dominic, they can use him to go undercover.
Later, Hetty dresses Dominic up as a police officer. She tells him the word to call for backup
is shadows. She informs him the uniform is new. Jimmy leaves the safehouse and meets with
Dominic on the street. Dominic tells him he was the first officer to discover Sally. He says that
before she died she whispered a name to him. At the headquarters, Eric learns that someone is
trying to trace Jimmy’s cell phone. Vance calls to abort the mission. He tells Dom to bring Jimmy
to safety. Kai shoots at Jimmy but misses. Callen chases after Kai and hears her driving her car
down the parking lot. He shoots at her driver side as it passes through an opening. He jumps
down a flight of stairs and shoots at the vehicle. Callen opens fire as the car leaves the garage.

During a party on top of a building,
a waitress flirts with a Marine named
Brandon who gives her a big tip. Brandon
makes a trade with a man then steps
away to take a phone call. Later, Brandon
falls off the building and dies.
Callen and Hanna argue over what
makes a better operator, natural skills or
practice. Hetty arrives and tells them they
are late for their briefing about Brandon.
In the ops room, Eric says Brandon left Iraq three months ago. Nate says Brandon had possible
PTSD. Dominic says since Brandon had a mental history, the LAPD are ruling his death
as a suicide. Hetty says since Brandon’s family is connected to politicians, they were called to
investigate. Eric says Brandon had an apartment in Culver City.
Callen and Hanna go to the apartment building. Hanna says they work well as a team together
because they compliment each other. Hanna says he is a natural and Callen says he is supernatural.
They enter the apartment and see it is empty. Callen finds several photos of women on
the refrigerator. They figure that Brandon wasn’t depressed. Hanna finds 160 receipts for Guitar
Hero paid in cash. They see that he bought the game at multiple mom and pop stores. They return
to the office and ask Dominic if he ever played Guitar Hero. He explains he prefers the real
thing and idolizes Gabor Szabo and Gjango Reinhart. Eric plays a recreation of the Brandon’s fall
which indicates he fell backwards. Eric says Brandon also had a broken jaw. He figures Brandon
was knocked out and pushed off the building.
Callen and Kensi go to the rooftop club. They notice a surveillance camera and call Eric to
hack into it. They meet with the events coordinator and ask her if she knows Brandon. She
says everyone knew Brandon. She explains Brandon was a host of parties for the last several
weeks. She calls over Amy who was Brandon’s waitress. She says Brandon meet with a man
named Alex. Amy says Brandon seemed like a nice and smart guy. Eric tells Callen that Alex was

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
Hanna meets with Brandon’s CO named Pallet. He tells him that Brandon and Alex were not
very bright. He says Alex is now in the sickbay. He says Alex and Brandon were good friends, but
they got in a fight last week. Callen tells Hanna that he can’t find Alex anywhere on the base.
Kensi figures that Brandon was looking to buy and resell his copies of Guitar Hero on ebay.
They find his listings and see he was selling the games for half the price he bought them for. Dom
asks Eric if he can find a pattern of the shops Brandon bought the game from. Eric discovers that
the banks the shops used are listed on the Counterfeit Currency Alert. They figure the games
were bought using fake bills then sold for real cash. Callen and Hanna wonder where Brandon
got the fake money. Eric calls Callen and tells him Alex’s car just drove off Pier 60.
Callen and Hanna arrive at the scene just as Alex’s car is pulled out of the bay. Callen asks
Hanna if he wants to jump in the bay since he was a SEAL, but he says the police divers can
handle it. The Secret Service learns about the counterfeit money. Agent Natalia Giordano meets
with the team who gives them a counterfeit one hundred dollar bill. She says the bills were made
by a plate. Natalie says hundreds are harder to counterfeit since they have to pass the pen test.
She tests the bill and see it doesn’t pass. Hanna figures that is why Brandon went to mom and
pop shops. Natalie says she is stationed in Las Vegas and will have to stay in town until they find
the source of the fake bills. She asks Callen if he knows any good restaurants and he suggests
she order room service.
Later, Hanna tells Callen it was obvious that Natalie wanted to have dinner with him. Callen
explains he doesn’t date law enforcement. Eric shows the team surveillance cameras which shows
the car was empty when it drove off the pier. Among the crowd, they see Alex walk away. Kensi
reports they got a signal from Alex’s phone. They see he was traveling north. Eric sees that Alex
checked his voice mail using a pay phone. They see that he was heading towards the building
where Brandon jumped. They go to the rooftop and find Brandon. He tries to jump off the
building, but Hanna pulls him off the railing. He checks his pocket and finds a serial number
stamp.
The team brings Alex to their interrogation room. They figure that Alex was so scared that he
wanted to jump off the roof. Alex says that he didn’t kill Brandon since he was his best friend.
Alex says he tried to warn Brandon to stop partying or he will get caught. Callen says when he
was a kid, his foster brother who tried to protect him was beaten to death by their foster death.
He says he still feels bad about his death. Alex says Rick Pargo killed Brandon. Natalie tells the
team that Rick has a record of counterfeiting. Nate says that Alex is terrified and wonders why
he went back to the place where his friend died. He figures Nate went back to honor Brandon.
Callen and Hanna meet with Alex. He admits he found money plates in Iraq. He says when he
came back home, Rick found them, produced some money, but the paper wasn’t good enough.
Hanna figures that they were supposed to destroy the bills, but instead they laundered them
online. Natalie arrives and tells the team that what Alex had is a serial number generator. She
explains that Saddam had money forgers in Iraq.
Hetty prepares Kensi as she dresses up as Alex’s girlfriend. She gives Kensi a watch with
a microphone and transmitter. Nate informs Kensi that Rick acts like he is above the law. He
suggests she try one bold move to impress him. Kensi goes to a printing press and asks for
Rick Pargo. One of the workers says he never heard of him. They search Kensi while running
a printing press. Rick asks if she has the number generator. She shows him a picture on her
phone with the picture of the number generator. Kensi says she has a source for high quality
paper. She asks him if he killed Brandon, but he says he is only a businessman. He informs her
that Brandon became impatient after a source didn’t come through. Kensi gives him an address
and instructs him to meet her later. Rick tells her he will not hesitate in killing her if the deal
goes bad.
Callen preps as he gets into character as a paper dealer named Gordon Taymis. After Hetty
briefs Callen, she suggests he take Natalie out to dinner after the case. Rick meets Callen at the
bar where Kensi is bartending. Callen tells Rick he doesn’t feel right meeting in a bar. Callen tells
Rick he is a compliance officer for his family’s paper company. Rick asks him for a three foot
stack, which Callen figures is $20 million dollars.
After their meeting, Callen says he doesn’t think Rick is being totally honest with him. Eric
tells Callen that Rick is searching through his fake website to make sure he is legit. Rick calls
Callen and tells him he wants to make a deal.
Callen tells Natalie he needs paper to give to Rick. He explains he needs two thousand sheets

by tomorrow. The next day, Callen and Kensi drive a van to Rick’s warehouse. They search
them then see he has the paper in the back. Rick orders Callen to go into the warehouse to
print some money. Outside, Hanna tells Natalie that he is waiting for Rick’s partner who they
suspect is Brandon’s killer to show up. They discover that Brandon’s CO Pallet is Rick’s partner.
After Pallet inspects the money he instructs his men to kill Callen and Kensi after they leave.
Callen and Kensi over power the men. Hanna enters and starts a firefight. They handcuff Rick.
They figure that Pallet is going to swap his counterfeit money with money that is being shipped
oversees. Dominique arrives at the Pallet’s base as they load up the money. After the plane leaves,
Pallet sees that the money that Dominique delivered is fake. The team arrives and arrests Pallet.
Callen and Hanna figure that Brandon messed up his plans to switch money and threw him
off the roof. Hetty tells the team to return the money they took. Callen meets with Natalie and
tells her he has a rule that he can’t date cops. Natalie says then she will have to wait until she
retires. She figures that Callen was in love with a cop who was killed.

Summary: Callen finds out why he was targeted over six months ago, while investigating
the death of a Russian.
A couple on a boat celebrate over
champagne. In a nearby apartment, a
woman video tapes the man. Another
man enters the hotel with a silenced
weapon and shoots the person watching
in the head. He calls the man on the boat
and tells him the job is done. He deletes
several files on the man’s computer including
photos of Callen.
Callen watches Hanna make tea using
a metal filter. Hanna says he promised Hetty he would try drinking it. Callen smells the tea box
and says it smells moldy. Hetty arrives and asks for the tea. She sees Callen using a paper tea
bag and asks if he can taste the paper. Hetty says chrysanthemum tea is not perfect without
wolfberries. Hanna takes a sip and says it tastes delicious. Hetty tells Callen the phone call he is
going to receive will be from Vance. After Callen takes the call, Hanna admits what he drank was
the worst tea he ever had. Hetty tries the tea and realizes it tastes moldy.
Vance tells Callen they found a USB flash drive on a victim that contained surveillance photos
of several people, including him. Vance says someone has been watching him and he would
like to know why. Vance informs him the LAPD is willing to have them cooperate during the
investigation.
The team receives the USB drive. They review the photos and the picture of the victim. Callen
realizes the girl was the Russian who lived near his last apartment. He says the girl was the
last person he saw before he was shot. They team learns the oldest photo was taken eight days
ago and the most recent was shot yesterday. They wonder who the girl was working with. Kensi
informs the team taht the body was found at the marina.
Nate asks Hetty to access a personnel file on Callen. Hetty goes to her secret computer and
looks up Callen’s file. Nate says they have a lead on Callen’s shooter just before he looks through
the records.
Kensi, Callen and Hanna arrive at the marina. After seeing Callen and Hanna bicker, Kensi
compares them to a married couple. They enter the victim’s room and examine the scene. They
25

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
figure there was a camera that pointed out to the yachts. They wonder if the Russian was a
professional and broke in, but Callen figures she had a key. Kensi meets with the landlord and
asks him if she can move in short term. After the landlord offers to lease the apartment to Kensi
with cash, she looks at her watch. She announces her time to Callen and Hanna who placed a bet
on how fast she can get an offer. Hanna says he is not going to pay up. Kensi admits she works
for NCIS and asks about the Russian girl he rented to. The team obtains a surveillance video
from the apartment. They see a man leave the apartment carrying a camera tripod. They see
him cover his face since he knew the camera was there. Dominic reports the Russian uploaded
files to a remote server. After they load a file labeled Cossack, Callen sees pictures of two former
comrades. Eric discovers that Callen’s teammates were killed the same day he was shot.
Eric says all the people who were shot were victims of drivebys. Callen says he worked with
his team on a Russian operation set up by the CIA. Callen says that his Russian contact was a
former KGB agent named Arkady Kolchek. They discover Arkady is now residing in California.
Nate tells the team most of Callen’s file has been redacted. While Nate and Kensi go through
Arkady’s file on Hetty’s computer, they wonder if Hetty was the clearinghouse for all of the government’s
intelligence. They see that Arkady became wealthy after he left the KGB. While Hanna
and Callen go towards Arkady’s mansion, Eric says his mansion is highly secure. The team is
able to hack into Arkady’s GPS car system and see he is on the move. They follow him to a a
farmer’s market where he is accompanied by bodyguards. Hanna grabs a bagged bottle on the
ground and pretends one of the bodyguards is the person his wife cheated with. As they get in an
argument, Arkady is brought to his car where he finds Callen waiting for him. Arkady tells his
bodyguard Callen is his friend. Arkady says he sent a Russian girl to warn him about the attacks.
Arkady says he knew her when he was younger. Callen remembers the woman was named Alina.
Arkady brings Callen and Hanna to his mansion. Arkady says he remembers when Callen told
him he was taught to speak Russian by Alina. Arkady says he heard rumors that someone was
going to hurt them, so he hired Alina to contact him. Callen remembers he scared Alina away.
Arkady says the people who shot Callen tried to kill him several times. Arkady suspects the killer
is connected to the case they worked on which involved a Russian drug syndicate. He states that
the syndicate is going to open up a gas pipeline to legitimatize their business. He says the deal
is being brokered by an American businessman named John Cole. Arkady says he hired Alina to
spy on Cole before she died. Arkady gives Callen his files on Cole.
Back at base, they examine the files that Arkady gave them. They see Cole was with a man
named Max Tyrus who they suspect was the person who killed Alina. Eric says Cole doesn’t have
much on his record. Callen suggests they find Max Tyrus. Eric finds he has a cellphone. They
see Tyrus just booked a private charter plane to Moscow. Callen gets on the phone, pretends
he is Max and learns the flight is a one way trip that will take off in four hours. Callen figures
since Cole is an oil refinery owner, he fears EPA inspectors the most. Hetty prepares Callen to go
undercover. Callen says he is going to get Cole to attack him. Nate suggests he doesn’t give Cole
time to think before he reacts.
Hanna enters Cole’s refinery posing as a delivery man. Callen and Kensi enter the compound
posing as EPA agents. They ask a woman where her boss is. They meet with Tyrus who says
this is the third EPA inspection this year. Tyrus threatens to call his boss. Cole arrives and
recognizes Callen. Callen tells Kensi that Cole is actually one of his partners who worked with
him in Moscow.
Cole says he expected he would be dead by now. Cole admits he faked a death certificate
and is going to try to kill Arkady later. Cole says he has to show himself in public and might be
recognized by the people who worked with him. Tyrus pulls out a gun and shoots at Hanna after
he sees him around a corner. Tyrus and Cole run from the scene. Callen chases after Cole and
disarms him before he runs off. Kensi is able to shoot Tyrus dead. Callen is able to corner Cole,
take him down and arrest him.
At headquarters, Hetty and Nate talk about Callen. Hetty says she knows Callen changed
families every few weeks. Nate says Callen stayed with Alina’s family for the longest time, which
was three months. They learn that Alina kept the house after her parents died. Hetty sees that
Callen is now brewing his tea using a metal filter. Callen admits he was now tasting the paper
from the bags. Hetty gives him a picture delivered by Arkady of him and Alina when he was
younger. Later, Callen goes to the house and finds a key hidden in a pot. He enters the home
and remembers the time he spent at the house with Alina and her family. He sits down on a bed,

Summary: The team investigates the murder of a Marine, while Hetty is away at
Senate hearings. This investigation leads them to a militia group and
stolen missiles.
A man cautiously walks around the
beach. He enters an aquarium while looking
over his shoulder. He tries to hide,
but a man wraps a piano wire around his
neck and kills him.
Hanna shows Callen an operation report
which impresses him. Callen asks
him if his mom helped him. Mike Renko
appears and informs the team he is looking
into a weapons case involving an antiimmigration
militia group called Enhancing Law Enforcement. He says he staying with a ’friend’
instead of staying with Callen. Eric announces that Hetty wants to see them all. They go to the
briefing room and hear Hetty on the speaker phone. Eric explains Hetty is in Washington D.C.
While Eric plays a tape showing the man getting choked, Hetty explains the man is a Marine Reservist
named Edward MacKaye who worked at an armory in Camp Pendleton. Renko informs the
team that MacKaye was his informant in his weapon case. He explains there are six Dragon antitank
missles that disappeared. He says the primary suspect is named Scott Riley. He says they
approached MacKaye who worked with Riley. Renko says they know ELE was moving weapons
across the border. Renko reports that Riley has contacted the ELE’s leaders Malcolm Tallridge
and John Bordinay. Eric plays a tape which shows Bordinay chase immigrants across the desert
until they died of thirst.
Hetty meets with Vance at D.C. He explains they will be discussing funding for their teams.
Kensi, Callen and Hanna walk towards the aquarium. The team suspects a missle was put
into a sail bag. At the office, they figure Riley moved a sailbag in and out of the base in order to
smuggle out the missles. While Kensi examines Riley’s bag on his car, Riley appears and puts a
piano chord around Kensi’s neck. Kensi is able to fight back and gets help from Renko. Kensi
says she didn’t need any assistance.
The team brings Riley back to the safe house. Riley says he thought she was stealing his
sail. Kensi asks him the Dragon missles. Nate is worried about Kensi being alone with Riley,
29

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
but Renko says Kensi is meaner than him. Nate figures Riley’s methodical method of moving the
Dragon missles off the base is inconsistent with impulsive murder of Mackaye. Kensi tells the
team that Riley is stonewalling her. She says the chord that Riley had is different than the one
that killed Mackaye. They figure Riley is afraid of someone.
Kensi drives Riley to the base and hands him over to the MPs. Callen poses as another prisoner
while Hanna poses as a guard. Callen demands Hanna to let him take a shower while they are
driven to the prison. After Callen tells a joke, Nate explains to Eric that Callen is trying to form a
bond.
Hetty calls Eric and asks how everything is going. Eric informs her that Callen is undercover.
Dom sees that Riley looked up hundreds of addresses on his laptop. Hetty says she is upset
about the operation. Hetty says she is worried Callen is going to get killed and orders them to
shut it down, but Eric says it is too late. Dom finds that Riley looked up immigration processing
centers. They wonder if they were targets. Callen makes fun of Hanna’s role as a MP. A truck
runs the van off the road. After the doors open, two men shoot Hanna. After a man frees Callen,
Hanna regains consciousness and shoots the men. After Callen exits the vehicle, Riley begs to be
freed. He explains he has a friend who is connected. After Callen agrees to free him, they drive
off. Kensi and Renko arrive and inform them their act is over. Kensi reports the GPS on the truck
is active.
Riley directs Callen to a gated area. A man with a rifle shoots Callen’s mirror. Riley calls out
to the sniper, Jay, to hold his fire. After Riley takes Callen’s gun, he tells Jay not to point his gun
at him. Jay jumps in the back seat as Riley takes over driving.
At the base, Eric explains to Nate that Hetty worked with a man who was killed while infiltrating
a militia group. He informs him Hetty personally recruited Sullivan into NCIS. They see
that the characteristics of Sullivan is similar to Callen’s.
Back in D.C., Vance tells Hetty that Callen is not Sullivan. He assures her he will take care of
the operation while she is meeting with the Senators.
Kensi finds Callen’s earpiece on the road. Hanna figures Callen was afraid to be searched. Riley
drives Callen into a compound full of heavily armed men. Renko, Kensi and Hanna watch from
a distance and spot Tallridge, Bordinay and the Dragon missles. Riley meets with the leaders and
informs them that Callen helped him escape. Bordinay shoots Riley for getting the organization
in trouble. Before he is able to shoot Callen, Hanna snipes him. Callen takes a hostage and goes
around a corner. He asks for the keys for a truck so he can escape. Tallridge orders his army to
shoot Jay in order to get to Callen. At the base, the team requests back up. Hanna arrives in his
truck and announces he is from the ATF. He says the government knows about the weapons and
wants to make a deal. Tallridge tells Hanna to get his friend so they can talk. Hanna announces
they have thirty minutes to negotiate. Tallridge breaks Jay’s nose. As Callen tries to help Jay,
Tallridge knocks him down.
Hanna and Callen are brought to a holding room. Callen asks why they are not dead. Hanna
figures the ELE wants to find out if they are surrounded.
In D.C., Vance pulls Hetty out of her meeting and informs her the militia have Callen and
Hanna.
Back in the woods, Renko shows Kensi where Callen is. Kensi uses morse code through the
laser scope to send a message. Callen is able to use a hidden bobby pin to work on his cuffs.
Hanna sees that the choppers are twenty minutes out. Callen is able to uncuff himself and
Hanna. Hanna sends back a message that says Maskelyne. The team gets call from Hetty. She
explains Maskelyne was a strategist who convinced the Nazi’s that a handful of men was an
entire division. Eric is able to jam the ELE’s radio signals. He says his plan is to make them
stumble on their frequency and make them believe an attack is being organized. Hetty asks the
Secretary of Defense for a favor. The militia picks up the fake messages as Kensi and Renko open
fire. The militia panics and fire into the woods. Callen and Hanna are able to knock out the guard
watching them. They meet with Jay and convince him to work for them. Jay tells Tallridge that
there are twenty agents nearby. Two fighter jets fly by the woods. Tallridge panics, jumps in a
truck and drives off. Callen and Hanna use the distraction to escape the building. They chase
after Tallridge and get in front of his vehicle. The open fire and cause Tallridge to crash.
Later, the government forces surround the woods and capture the militia members. Callen
tells Jay he spoke to the U.S. Attorney and secured his freedom. Jay says he wants to talk to his
mom. Jay says he is happy he is not going to jail. Before Callen hand over his phone, he thanks
30

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
Jay for saving him.
Hetty tells Vance she figured he knew she would go to the Secretary and spend her political
capital to help her team. Hetty says she never lost an agent before Sullivan. Vance tells her she
saved two today. Callen tells Hanna that it was stupid to try to rescue him. Callen tells Hanna
he did a nice job.

Summary: When a serial killer strikes in Los Angeles, it grabs the attention of
Abby Scuito. She travels from Washington DC to give the team a hand,
since she has been following this killer for some time.
Over the phone, a man updates his
mom about his divorce case. He hears a
noise in the other room. After he shuts
the window, he looks at the photo of his
wife and daughter. A man sneaks up behind
the man and slices his throat.
At the office, the team notices that the
office has been set up with desks. Kensi
wonders if they have been assigned seats.
They figure that Hetty set up the office.
Hetty arrives and says since they are in an office, they have everything they need in the desks.
She briefs the team about the death of Frank McEllon, an engineer who worked on submarine
technology. Hetty suspects that the murder involves espionage.
The team looks around McEllon’s home and sees it looks nicer than what he can afford. Kensi
figures the killer left no trace of what happened. Hanna finds a nanny camera hidden in a teddy
bear. Callen says the found a video of a man at the house four days ago. Hanna reports that
McEllon made his money through technology patents and later joined the military.
At the office, Hanna says he likes the new setup. As they walk to the briefing room, Hanna
says that there is no forensic evidence. Vance informs the team that he is going to send their best
forensic investigator to their office. He explains he had to send this person since he was ganged
up on. They hear Abby who is impressed at their equipment.
Abby tells the team that she calls the killer the Phantom. Hetty tells Abby that she is the first
agent she met who has a sense of style. Abby reports that the Phantom committed 14 murders
in two years. Abby shows them her private blog which has a list of murders. She explains cases
without forensic evidence is rare. Kensi doubts that the method of killing is the same person, but
Abby says the Phantom tries to use random methods on purpose.
Callen asks Hetty why he had Vance send Abby to them. He says he is a little fuzzy in the
command chain. Hetty explains since they this is forensic heavy case, she procured the best
scientist for them. He tells her to work as if it was business as usual.

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
The team watches the murder from the hidden camera and see the killer was wearing a full
body suit. Abby asks to look at the scene. She says she is looking for evidence that removes dirt.
Abby explains to the team that some suits have a electrostatic charge that picks up dust. She
says she can use the bootie print to find who manufactured it.
Callen and Hanna meet with Jenkins a lawyer who worked with McEllon. They learn that
Magda, McEllon’s wife, moved near the beach. They see her meet with the man who was in the
video. After they are made, the man runs and tosses a woman riding a roller blade into them.
The man hijacks a motorcycle, speeds towards them, but is knocked off his ride.
Although the man says his name is Cyrus Hill, Callen says he knows he is Ted Brock, who
has a record of scamming rich women. Kensi informs Magda that her husband is dead while
Dominic records her. She says she was at home with her baby. Kensi informs her that her new
boyfriend Cyrus is actually named Ted. She admits she told Ted about McEllon’s patent money.
Back at the safe house, Callen accuses Ted of killing McEllon. He admits that he wanted to steal
bearer’s bonds from McEllon, but stopped when he saw security cams. He says he was with a
friend in Brentwood.
The team wonders if McEllon death was committed by the Phantom. Abby tells Eric that the
bootie was from a haz-mat suit, but she can’t contact the company until the next day. Eric asks
Abby if she would like to go out to a Steampunk club since he read she likes it in her blog. At
the bar, Abby tells Eric she would love to feel an earthquake. Abby goes to the back to check out
several hotrods parked in the alley. The team wonders why the Phantom killed someone in L.A.
since he usually attacks in smaller towns. They figure the Phantom wanted to bait Abby after the
killer read her blog. Meanwhile back at the club, Abby is injected with a sedative and loaded into
a van.
Hetty informs Vance about Abby’s kidnapping. Vance tells her that Gibbs and the team are
on their way. Nate tells him that it is good that Abby was kidnapped instead of outright killed,
but she still poses a threat to the killer. Hanna and Callen arrive at the bar, shut off the music
and ask the crowd about Abby. Hanna notices one of the bartenders ask nervous. She admits
someone contacted her to leave a message if she saw Abby, but she can’t identify him.
Kensi says she found a man on Abby’s website who is posing as a criminologist. Eric and Nate
find that haz-mat suits were delivered to McEllon’s law firm. They wonder if the killer is a lawyer.
Abby wakes up and sees she is in a dark bedroom. Abby figures that the man is a blog poster.
He tells her they should be a team. Abby calls the man a creep and that her friends will save her.
The man says he has the place set up to burn if someone comes in. The man says he learns from
her and will not use haz-mat suits any longer. After Abby asks the man to scratch her nose, she
bites him in the finger.
Callen and Kensi pose as a divorcing couple as they fight in McEllon’s law firm. Hanna poses
as security and gets into the human resources office to take a roster of the employees. Eric
captures the video as Hanna scans the roster. Eric reports that a partner of the firm, Mike
Smith, logs on Abby’s website. Eric is able to access Mike’s web feed which shows Abby alive in
a chair. He figures that Abby is a building next to the law firm. Callen and Hanna break in the
building and find the body of Mike Smith. They figure they are in the wrong place.
Kensi plays a video from Mike’s office which shows the receptionist named Tom Smith use
his computer. Eric reports that Mike is his uncle. The team watches as Tom toasts Abby. Tom
admits he killed four people and several animals before she took interest in him. Abby tells Tom
he is awful since everything he killed had a life. As he taps the bed, Tom asks Abby if she would
like to pretend to buy herself another night of life, but she spits at him. Tom pulls out an axe.
Eric sees that Abby is signing that she hears construction noise. After looking up construction
sites, Eric directs Callen and Hanna to the location. After Eric sees that Abby is signing the word,
’doors’. Hanna sees that the door is booby trapped. Abby tells Tom that she left evidence on his
finger.
Hanna and Callen see Abby from the ceiling window. As Tom raises his axe to kill Abby, Callen
crashes through the window with a fire hose around him and shoots Tom. At the office, the team
reports that the police are finding evidence of Tom near several crime scenes. Abby informs Gibbs
that she is fine since the Los Angeles team saved her. Callen tells Hetty that the team is getting
their work done faster since the new set up was put in place.

killed next. They both figure that neither one of them killed Joey. Jon tells Callen that he broke
Kristin’s heart. A masked man pulls up and kills Jon by shooting him several times in the chest.
After they review the surveillance tapes, they see that the killer never shot at Jason. Kensi
reports that Perez was angry at Jon and Joey since they both testified against him in court. Dom
tells Callen that Kristin’s current boyfriend Tommy has a criminal record. He adds that Tommy
had a DUI when he was a minor, but the records were sealed. Hanna tells him to find out more.

record. Tommy says Kristin would leave him if she found out. After Callen asks him how he met
Kristin, he says he met her at a bar. Callen asks Tommy to convince him he is not responsible
for Jon’s death. Tommy says he isn’t the one who walked out on Kristin. Hanna tells Callen that
at least didn’t shoot him. Callen says seems like Tommy has some demons, but he seems like
he cares for Kristin and her boy. Callen says it seems like walking out on Kristin four years ago
seemed like the best thing to do, but he has some regret.
Eric reports that Perez got a visit by Andres Rodrigo, a gang member who was charged with
several homicides. Hetty convinces Kensi to dress up so she can distract Perez long enough to
plant a bug on him. At the prison, Kensi tells Perez that Jon was killed during a drive by. Kensi

says he received a call from someone who ordered him to keep quiet in exchange for some cash.

before leaving.
As Perez is taken away, he coughs and collapses. Kensi returns to Perez, tries to get him to
tell her who called him, but he dies before he can talk. Dom reports Perez was killed by sodium
cyanide which could have taken hours to kill him. Eric reports that Tommy’s lawyer, who was
Corby, got him out by pointing out a mistake in the case.
Eric reports that Corby was a public defender before he joined JAG. Kensi wonders if Perez
lied to her or if Corby knows more than he is admitting.
Callen and Hanna visits Tommy at the restaurant who tries to run, but they grab him. Tommy
admits that he owed Corby since he bailed him out after he got a DUI. He says Corby wanted
him to get close to Kristin so he can find out more about the missing money. Tommy says both
Kristin and Jon didn’t know anything. Tommy says he stayed with Kristin after she told him she
was pregnant. Callen assures him that Kristin will be protected since he also cares about her.
Callen and Hanna figure that after Corby got a hold of the money by using inside information as
the lawyer, Joey found out about Corby’s plan and was killed.
Kensi meets with Corby at a train station. She apologizes for Perez and says her case ran into
a dead end. Corby says an MP named Jason Tedrow is also involved. Corby says he tried to visit
Tedrow, but he was always told he was not available. Corby says he thinks Jason is actually a
undercover agent named Callen. Corby pulls out a gun, says he knows she is wired and asks
40

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
Callen to come out. Tommy arrives and tells Corby he is there to make sure he doesn’t hurt
Kristin. He pulls out a gun which causes the crowd to panic. Corby takes Kensi hostage and

ridden out to the sunset. Hetty suggests he tell Kristin the truth after he figures out who he is.

home the next day. Kristin tells Callen that Michael is not his son. She regrets not telling him
the truth, but she explains she was angry and wanted him to suffer. As Callen tries to tell her
his real name, she stops him and says goodbye.

was a good geek.
Hetty asks the agents why Dom was captured. She tells them to check with the other agency
to see if there were any recent abductions. Kensi and Nate go to Dom’s apartment. They realize
they never really got to know Dom. They wonder who is going to call his parents to tell them
that Dom is missing. Since the bed is still made, they figure that Dom didn’t get home last night.

lot.

of the man and the serial number of the IV bag. Kensi wonders if the blood from the car didn’t
belong to Dom.
Back at the office, Ty is able to recover the audio from the hard drive. They hear a group
of men yell in Spanish just before gun shots ring out. Kensi becomes emotional and excuses
herself. Hetty finds her outside crying. Kensi regrets not giving Dom a ride to hang out. Hetty
says guilt is a strong motivator, but it clouds their judgments. Kensi realizes that Hetty is still
beating herself up over losing an agent named Sullivan. Hetty tells Kensi it is time for them to
find Dom.
Eric finds a match of the dead man to a Colombian criminal named Federico Gomez. Kensi
translates the record and finds a connection to two brothers named Jose and Rafael Taro. They
see that they have a sister who is a nurse named Claudia. They head to the hospital and find her
in the parking lot.
The team brings Claudia to the hideout and ask him where Dom is, but she says she wants
a lawyer. She says her brothers wanted to take a package to a buyer. Hanna and Callen tell her
the package is actually a NCIS agent. After Callen asks her what happened, he says Dom helps
people just like her. Claudia says Dom was shot, but it was minor. She says they took Dom after
they left the house. She says her brothers contacted her on her cell. Kensi empties her bag and
gives Eric the phone number. Eric finds the last tower that the cell phone transmitted to. The
team figures the area is too much ground to cover.
Hanna tells Callen that he regrets not toughening up Dom to watch his back. Hanna says
they will probably need to shoot their way in if they locate the Taros. Callen suggests they call
the brothers. Hanna figures they can swap Claudia for Dom. Callen tells Claudia about their plan
and Hanna convinces her to call. Callen makes the call and tells Rafael that they have Claudia.
He says he wants to make a trade. Rafael asks to speak to Claudia. She tells her brothers she is
safe. Callen takes the phone back and asks him to meet him, but Rafael tells him to meet him at
an abandoned hospital. Callen and Hanna thank Claudia for her help.
Eric loads up the blueprints of the hospital and briefs the team. He says the hospital has a lot
of hiding spaces and low light. Hetty suggests they access real time satellite data with infrared
capabilities. After they arrive at the hospital, Eric finds one heat signature in the boiler room.
Callen brings Claudia, who is under a hood, inside the hospital and asks Rafael where his friend
is. Eric finds another heat signature nearby. Hanna runs inside the building to meet up with the
other man. With Eric’s guidance, they realize that the man is right above Callen. Callen uncovers
the hood and reveals Kensi. Hanna arrives and opens fire. After a gun fight, both brothers are
taken out. Rafael tells Callen he wants to make a deal for his sister. He asks not to put anything
on Claudia’s record. Rafael tells Callen that Dom was left in a van in San Bernadino. He explains
he never saw the people who he dropped Dom off with. Rafael slumps over and dies.
The team arrives at the location and finds a blue van. They open it up and see that no one
is inside. Back at the office, the team fills out their reports. Hetty tells Callen they have to deal
with things their own way. Hetty says goodnight, then leaves. Meanwhile, Hanna takes out his
frustration on a punching bag. Eric goes online and plays video games. Nate tries to find any
connections with the brothers. Kensi goes to Dom’s house and washes his dirty dishes. Callen
lists Dominic’s status as missing.

Summary: The team are lead to a place used to create a deadly toxin which has
vanished from the scene.
A reporter named Gage accompanies
a group of ATF agents during a raid on
a suspected drug lab. They breach the
door to look for suspects and discover a
room full of dead men wearing military
uniforms.
Hanna arrives at work and learns that
the rest of the team is waiting for him
before they start the briefing. Hetty asks
Hanna that they need his recommendation
for someone to join the team since Dominic was kidnapped. Eric shows the team video
footage that the reporter shot the night before. He says the uniforms that the dead men wore
were real, but the people who were wearing them were criminals. Eric tells them that Vance
wants them to figure out how the criminals got a hold of the uniforms.
Callen and Hanna go to the lab to investigate. Since there are no traces of drugs, they wonder
what they were creating. Hanna notices several dead animals around the building. Kensi
calls Callen and tells him they check out a suspicious address that belongs to a person named
Balmore. Callen wonders if the lab was producing a bioweapon.
Callen and Hanna go to the home and hear glass break in the backyard. They meet with an
elderly woman named Balmore who dropped a glass pitcher. Balmore recognizes the victims as
the people who drove her to the research facility. She says in the lab, she was able to isolate a
strain of botulism.
Balmore is brought to the safe house and questioned by Nate. Callen reports that the victims
died from botulism. Hanna is worried they were exposed when they were at the lab. Balmore
tells Nate she was tasked to work in the lab in order to find an antidote, but Hanna thinks she
was tricked into making a bioweapon. Nate tells the team he thinks Balmore is suffering for
Alzheimer’s.
Kensi describes botulism as the deadliest bacteria known to man. The team figures that the
lab created enough poison to kill millions of people. Eric says they have a lead since Ian Albers,
one of the dead men, was a bouncer for a club owned by Dallas.
Hanna and Callen are worried that Dallas is going to shut down their operation by calling
in favors from the politicians he blackmailed. Hetty examines Callen to test if he has botulin
45

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
poisoning. Kensi reports that Dallas has been going to appointments at a spa called Ahimsa
Retreat.
Callen and Hanna go to the spa and enter Dallas’s room as he is getting a massage. Hanna
demands if he knowns about the sale of botulin. Dallas says he heard that a man called The
Dutchmen is looking to sell biotoxins.
At the office, Eric briefs the team about The Dutchmen, an arms dealer who has several
aliases including Jacobus Troyger. Hetty asks Callen to speak to her. Hetty tells him about
Hanna’s reluctance to recommend a new team member. Hetty asks him to nudge Hanna to have
him move forward after Dominic’s disappearance.
Kensi and Eric report that they got a hit on a suspect that just arrived in the country named
Simon Amputuan, who is known to have connections to a Filipino terrorist cell. After Simon is
brought into the safe house, he denies that he is involved with terrorists. Nate tells Simon that
Jacobus has been arrested and will probably point him out. Callen and Hanna enter the room
and threaten to take him to an Israeli interrogation center. Simon admits he heard about rumors
about a weapons auction.
Hanna figures he can go into the auction posing as Simon’s replacement. Hanna says he has
been vaccinated for botulism. Nate is concerned, but the team convinces him that it is the only
way to find the dealer. Hanna admits he hasn’t gotten any booster shots lately.
Hanna gets dressed with a remote camera hidden in his lapel. Kensi tells him that the camera
can be turned on and off to avoid detection when he scanned. Since his gun will be confiscated,
Hetty gives him a briefcase she explains is bulletproof. She shows him a ceramic blade hidden in
the handle. Hetty gives him a pen that has a concealed experimental botulism antidote.
Hanna waits to be picked up while Callen and Kensi watch. Kensi wonders if Simon lied about
the auction. After a man asks Hanna for directions, Hanna tells him that Simon was grabbed at
the airport. Hanna says he has three million in his briefcase for the auction. The man makes a
phone call, then leads Hanna to a car after a hood is placed over his head.
Hanna is driven to the auction site which is a remote warehouse. After he is uncovered,
Hanna is introduced to Jacobus. Hanna is scanned, but the camera is momentarily turned off.
After Eric reestablishes connection, they notice that it is being scrambled making it difficult to
see. Outside, Callen instructs the tactical team to get into position.
Inside, Jacobus shows the room full of buyers the botulism vial that Balmore produced. He
has his men distribute the vaccine just in case they are exposed. Jacobus states he would like to
demonstrate the effectiveness of his weapon. He loads up a video of a mall that will be used as
a test. Jacobus says his associate will infect the shoppers within the hour. Callen instructs Eric
to send hazmat teams to two suspected malls. Callen asks Hanna to stall. Hanna tells Jacobus
they still need to get out of the country and asks to conduct the test later. Jacobus’s men become
suspicious since Hanna seems nervous. As he is searched, Hanna reminds two buyers that they
are sworn enemies. After the two buyers attack each other, Hanna uses his briefcase and knife
to defend himself. Hanna apprehends Jacobus outside of the warehouse.
Hetty loads up surveillance cameras to see if Balmore can identify anyone. She recognizes a
man with a backpack at the mall. Hetty informs Callen where the man is. Nate figures that the
man is moments away from deploying the toxin. Kensi smashes a tray of food on the man and
tries to take his backpack, but he runs up the escalator. Kensi shoots him, but he manages to
toss a vial into the food court. Callen jumps and catches the vial, but it cracks and cuts his hand.
Hanna arrives, tackles Callen, dunks the vial in a fountain, and injects Callen with the antidote.
He tells him to stay there until hazmat cleans them up.
After the case, Callen tells Kensi that the FBI is going to steal the credit for the bust. Kensi
figures Callen likes his job since he doesn’t have to deal with the press. Hetty informs Callen that
they will have to pay for the koi that died in the mall fountain.
Nate recommends to Hetty that Balmore shouldn’t be charged for manufacturing weapons.
Nate figures that she needs to be placed into a nursing home. Callen visits Hetty and tells her he
would like to visit Balmore when she is in the nursing home. Hetty tells Callen she is afraid she
might reveal her secrets when she gets older. She asks Callen to smother her to death when the
time comes. Meanwhile, Hanna helps Balmore with her gardening.

Summary: Agent Kensi Blye is shot at a local bank and the shooters are now
holding every person as a hostage.
Kensi arrives at a bank and tells an
employee named Curtis she would like
to rent a safe deposit box. Three masked
men arrive to rob the bank. Kensi fights
back, disarms one of the men, and removes
his mask. The man, Johnny, recovers
his gun and fires three shots into
Kensi’s abdomen.
The show jumps back twenty four
hours earlier. At the office, Callen and
Hanna find a box full of unusual items including a cobra statue. Kensi says the box belongs
to her and explains she wants to keep it safe after she heard about a break in at her building.
Kensi asks Callen where he keeps his stuff, but Hanna explains he doesn’t have any. Hetty comes
in and talks about her past. Eric informs the others they have a case.
In the operations room, Eric informs the team about a cash shipment in Baghdad that was
hijacked by a Jihadist Raiders Front. Nate says the JRF has cells in the U.S. Eric says the JRF
had a simcard that belonged to a soldier named Chad Jeffcoat who had access to the shipment
information.
While Hanna and Callen drive to meet Chad, Hanna tells him about all the things he has
locked up in a safe at his house. Callen figures he is hiding something. Hanna admits he has a
glove that he got during a Michael Jackson concert. They knock on Chad’s door, but he doesn’t
answer. They ask a mailman if he saw Chad, but he says he didn’t. Hanna finds a bloody set of
keys and a spent 9mm shell. They find another shell that leads to the car. They figure the shooter
used a silencer. Callen opens the trunk of the car and find it empty. Inside the trashcan, they
find Chad’s dead body.
The police arrive to investigate. Kensi wonders where Chad would hide his most prized possessions.
Hanna and Callen find a false panel next to the dishwasher full of cash. They wonder
what Chad did to get himself killed.
After Hanna counts the money, Kensi says it was part of the cash shipment that was hijacked.
Kensi hears Nate playing a harmonica. Nate explains he is a blues man with soul. Kensi tells him
the harmonica was a gift from her dad. Nate tells her she doesn’t talk about him much. Kensi
describes how she was raised on a base in the middle of nowhere. She says she snuck out after
47

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
her dad went out for drinks, came back, and learned that he was killed. She says the case was
never solved. Nate assures her that her father would be proud of her.
Hanna and Callen use a key found on Chad’s ring to open a hangar at an airfield. They
discover it is full of cash that was stolen in Baghdad. Callen discovers schematics for another
bank called Certified National. They hide after three men enter. After Hanna announces himself,
the men respond with gunfire. Callen and Hanna fire back and take them out.
At the office, Eric comes down and watches as Callen and Hanna clean their guns. Eric starts
to dig in Kensi’s box, but they inform him that Kensi will get upset. Eric says one of the men that
they shot, a robber named Michael Joseph Benelli, is out of surgery. He confirms the money was
part of the Baghdad hijack. He shows them video showing a man that Callen recognizes as the
mailman enter the hangar. Eric says the man is a master criminal named Damien Salerno.
At the hospital, Kensi asks Benelli what Salerno is going to do after he discovers all the money
gone. She suggests he work with them.
Eric tells Hanna and Callen that the JRF money seized by the government is being held at the
Certified National Bank. They figure the JRF wants the money back. Eric explains the terminal
at the bank can be used to electronically send money.
Back at the hospital, Kensi asks Benelli who their inside man at the bank is. She tells him
she knows the bank robbery was only meant to be a front for the man inside. Kensi calls base
and tells them that Benelli is not going to talk. Eric reports that Mike Renko wants to help them.
Kensi allows Benelli to escape. She tells Nate that she implanted Benelli with a GPS while he was
under.
Mike tells Callen and Hanna that he knows a police officer named Bernhart who can help him.
He says although he is not totally clean, he is the only person who can get them in contact with
Salerno. Bernhart arrives and says Salerno is getting old and has a point man named Johnny
Manning.
Kensi follows Benelli as he arrives at the hangar. Back at the office, Nate finds Hetty carrying
a large shotgun. She tries it to hand it to Nate, but he doesn’t want to take it. Nate reveals that
Kensi shared her story about her dad. Nate wonders what Kensi will do after he finds the men
who were out with her dad.
Callen and Hanna arrive to meet up with Kensi. Benelli gets a call from Salerno who asks for
his money. He accuses him of stealing his money, but Benelli denies it. Benelli tells Salerno that
they could have pulled the bank job and walked away. Salerno, who is in a van, shoots and kills
Benelli with a scoped rifle.
The team gathers all the information that Salerno had. Hanna figures the inside man is the
key piece to the plan. Nate reports that an employee named Curtis has been in contact with JRF.
Nate adds that Curtis is single. They hint that Kensi should go undercover. Kensi says she is
upset that she is always used to use her powers of seduction. Hetty states they need Curtis to
uncover all of the JRF members he was working with. Callen suggests Kensi get a safe deposit
box.
Hanna drops off Kensi in front of the bank. She goes in, talks to Curtis, gets robbed and shot.
Kensi instructs the team to enter the bank. Hanna sees that the front door is locked and runs to
the back. Curtis says he never got a call. Another masked man tells Curtis that Salerno wants
his money now. Curtis punches and tells the bank manager they are going to his office now. Eric
says he is having trouble accessing the security system. Curtis orders the manager to transfer
the money to an account in Istanbul. After the transfer, Curtis leads the men towards the back
door. Hanna barges in, shoots several of the robbers, is shot in the shoulder, and runs out of
bullets before a robber raises his shotgun at him. Curtis escapes out the back door.
After Curtis leaves, all the men get up, take off their masks and reveal it is Mike, Bernhart
and Callen. Mike tells Kensi she did a great job. Since Curtis is tagged with a GPS locater, they
wait to see where he is heading.
Callen and Hanna follow Curtis while he waits at a park. Eric works on locating where the
money was sent to. All of the bank employees are released after they were questioned. They see
the bank manager arrive and tell Curtis that he can’t believe a woman was shot. The manager
says the money is not in the Turkish bank. Hanna and Callen arrive with guns drawn and arrest
them.
At the office, Hetty reports to Kensi that Salerno was caught trying to cross the border. Kensi
says she doesn’t know where to keep her stuff. Hetty suggests she put her stuff in her hangar,
48

but Kensi says she wants to keep them close. Hetty tells her to put her belongings in the archive
room in the building. Kensi goes through her stuff and pulls out her father’s medal and a note
from her dad.

Summary: The death of a lieutenant commander appears to be suicide but the
NCIS team uncovers evidence corresponding to murder.
Three women take turns drinking
from a bottle while they hang out the sunroof
of a limo. The driver stops after a
Navy officer with a noose around his neck
drops in front of the vehicle.
At the office, Hanna tells Callen that
he is upset that he didn’t pick him up
on time. Callen admits he overslept. They
enter the briefing room where Eric informs
them that the victim, Calvin Lee,
was a scientist who was working on top secret submarine designs. Eric states that the executive
officer wants to know if the data has been compromised. Hetty plays the video that the women
took just before Calvin died. Hanna figures that Calvin was killed.
Callen and Hanna go to the overpass where Calvin died. They look at the knot and figure it
was made by a sailor.
Kensi and Nate team up and go to Calvin’s apartment and see he was living large. They see a
picture of a woman they figure was Calvin’s girlfriend. They hide after they hear someone enter. A
sailor digs in a cabinet and retrieves an item. Kensi announces herself, but the man runs. Kensi
is able to tackle the man on the street. Nate helps Kensi cuff the man, but he punches him in
the face. Kensi finds that the man was carrying two ounces of meth.
At the office, Nate takes credit for taking down the sailor. Callen volunteers to question the
sailor. Kensi sees that Nate is itching to hit the streets again. In the interrogation room, the sailor
insists he didn’t kill Calvin. Callen convinces him to work with them to prove he doesn’t have
anything to do with Calvin’s death. The sailor says Calvin stole his position from him. He admits
he gradually spiked Calvin’s drinks with meth so he could take his place. Hanna figures he went
to the apartment to cover his tracks.
Nate learns that Calvin had a blood stain on his shoe and traces of meth in his system, but he
didn’t take his drug test yet which means no one else knew about it. Eric plays the team traffic
video which shows Calvin throw something off the bridge just before he hung himself. The team
wonders what Calvin threw. Callen instructs Kensi to take Nate to meet with Calvin’s parents
while they go back to the crime scene. Nate asks Kensi if he should get a gun, but she reminds
him he is needed as a psychologist.

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
At their store, Calvin’s parents tell Kensi and Nate that their son was perfect. They explain
they left China since they were pregnant with their second child. They say that their first child,
died a while ago. After Kensi shows them the picture of the girl from Calvin’s apartment, they say
she is Xui Li, his girlfriend. They say that she is on her way back to Hong Kong.
Callen and Hanna search for the item that Calvin threw away. Hanna says he is upset they
are wasting their time five weeks after Dominic was kidnapped. Eric reports that Calvin’s parents
have owned the antique store in Chinatown for years. He says there is no death certificate for
Calvin’s sister. He shows them the daughter’s identification in which she took on the name Jane
Lipsger.
Callen finds an assortment of items near the scene including a large shoe and a toilet seat.
Hanna finds a set a keys he figures what was thrown. After learning about Jane, Callen and
Hanna meet with her at her second hand furniture store. They ask her when the last time she
spoke to Calvin since he died that morning. Jane gets upset and asks how he died. Callen informs
her that he took his own life.
Jane says Calvin left a drunk message on her machine last night. She says she was close to
him until the day he died. Jane explains her family left China because of the one child policy.
She explains she thinks her parents loved Calvin more than her. Jane explains that Calvin’s
engagement with Xui Li was fake since he was in love with a man named Jaxon.
Hanna wonders if Calvin’s mom knew her son was gay. They go to Jaxon’s apartment and
discover his body in the kitchen with his throat slashed. After the investigators arrive, Callen
wonders if Calvin slit Jaxon’s throat then killed himself. Hanna wonders why Jaxon was killed.
At the office, Nate says Calvin had no signs of depression. They watch video of Calvin as he
entered Jaxon’s apartment. Nate wonders if Calvin wanted out of his relationship. They wonder
where the knife that killed Jaxon is. They go through the video and see a delivery man enter
the apartment. They figure the man was Jaxon’s killer. At the apartment, Callen finds that the
delivery man dumped the food that was picked up at a restaurant called Jolly Chan’s.
At the office, Eric reports that the restaurant doesn’t deliver to Jaxon’s area. Eric says they
found finger prints on the bag that belongs to a man named Bobby Tang, who has a record of
being with an Asian gang called Hiragana.
Nate asks Hetty if she has ever heard of a psychologist who became an agent. Hetty stares at
him blankly then says there was a man named Kerwood Ames who was killed soon after he went
out in the field. He explains Kerwood tried to apply logic in the street, which got him killed.
Callen and Hanna arrive at Tang’s business and see that the door is open. Inside his building,
they find a huge stock of pirated DVDs. They see Bobby argue with Xue Li just beofre she shoots
him with a silenced pistol. Several men enter the warehouse and fight with Callen and Hanna.
The team manages to knock them out, but they lose Xue Li.
Callen and Hanna bring one of the suspects to the interrogation room. Hetty arrives and
throws them bags of ice. Callen says that forensics matched Bobby’s knife to the one that killed
Jaxon. Hetty insists they have ways to make the suspect talk even though there is a language
barrier.
Callen wonders how Xue Li knew how to handle her Glock. Kensi asks Nate to go out in
the field, but he says he is busy. Callen asks Hanna what he thinks Dom would add to the case.
Hanna figures that he would bring up some obscure historic reference. Callen wonders if Calvin’s
key does more than what they think.
Kensi meets with Calvin’s mom at the store and tells her she knows that Xue Li didn’t return
to Hong Kong. The mother insists she wait until her husband arrive before she talks.
Eric tells the team that Calvin’s key was a high tech cloner that stole the secrets of nearby
computers. Eric says the cloner was written in Chinese code. Callen figures that Calvin was a
Chinese spy. Hanna wonders why Calvin threw away the cloner. Callen wonders if Calvin didn’t
want to be a traitor. He figures that the Chinese government killed Jaxon to get to Calvin. They
figure that Calvin killed himself instead of working as a spy. They figure that Xue Li was an
assassin sent to clean up.
Kensi asks Calvin’s parents how they knew Xue Li. They tell her they met her through a
website. Eric calls Kensi and warns her that Xue Li might kill Calvin’s parents. Calvin’s father
kicks his customer out of the store, pulls out a gun, but Kensi pushes him down. He shoots at
Kensi while she escapes. He calls Xue and informs her about the situation. Xue Li follows and
fires at Kensi in the alley. Kensi brings Calvin’s mom into a restaurant to hide. Eric guides Kensi

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
where to go while he uses camera to look for the shooters. Callen and Hanna pick up Jane and
drive to back up Kensi. Callen grabs Calvin and his gun. Xue Li fires at Hanna, but he evades
the bullets. Callen flanks and orders Xue Li to drop her gun.
At the station, Calvin’s mom tells Nate that her family was allowed to leave China in exchange
for spying for China. She says Calvin knew about the plan and was encouraged to become
a sailor. Nate tells the team that Calvin was born to be a sleeper agent, but fell in love with
America. Jane meets with her mom and gives her a hug. Nate explains that emotional witnesses
are more likely to talk. Hetty tells Nate to stick with what he does best. Kensi tells Nate he makes
an alright partner. Nate suggests he go out in the field more, but the team tells him no.

Summary: The team investigates the death of a sailor involved in illegal street
racing. The situation becomes more concerning when they realize that
he had classified Navy equipment with him.
Two cars pull up side by side at a line
just after a man take in all of the bets.
After a car explodes and flips over, the
crowd disperses.
At the office, Hanna complains to
Callen about the route he took to work.
The team sees that riding is moving
around in his Segway. Eric informs the
team that Yeoman James Rush died during
an illegal street race. They watch the
video that shows his car explode. Kensi says that Rush worked as an admin support and has an
encrypted personnel file. They see that the other driver kept on driving after the explosion.
Callen and Kensi investigate the scene where the race took place. A insurance adjuster named
Allison Pritchet meets them while they investigate. Kensi tells Callen that she doesn’t trust Allison
since she was acting weird.
Hetty tells Callen that he got a ticket and was captured on a traffic cam. She informs him he
has to go to traffic school since this his his third citation in the last few months. She tells Callen
that Kensi and Hanna will cover for him while he is in class.
Eric shows Hanna and Kensi a variety of video taken at the scene. They see that Rush used a
wet nitrous system that mixed nitrous with the fuel. Kensi figures that the faulty system caused
the engine to explode. She says the blown engine wouldn’t cause that kind of explosion. Eric
shows them that Rush’s car had two explosions. Since Kensi figured that Rush was a master
mechanic, his car was sabotaged and murdered.
Callen arrives at traffic school and sees that it is attended by mostly elderly people. An eccentric
instructor tells the class he wants to bring cool to school. An attractive blonde woman sits
next to Callen which cheers him up.
Kensi explains to Hanna that Rush was a legend in the racing world. They go to the garage
his family owns, meet with Rush’s siblings, Keith and Angela, and ask them about their brother.
Angela tells Kensi that James was able to build anything from scratch. She says the business
barely manages to stay afloat. Keith explains to Hanna that the garage has been in the family for
years. He says he has been taking care of the business after their father went to jail. Keith says
55

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
he is fighting to keep the garage alive even though his brother was killed. Keith says the person
who raced James was a mysterious man named Tokkan.
At the office, Hetty texts Hanna with a joke which surprises Kensi. Eric tells the team that
Tokkan has never been arrested or photographed. He says Omar, who was at the garage and
recently fired, has a criminal record.
At the school, the instructor tells the class that it is easier to remember the rules of the road
if they set it to hip hop music.
Nate finds Kensi as she investigates Rush’s car. She says she used to help her dad work on
cars. She realizes that Nate has no clue how cars work. She finds a strange part and wonders if
Keith knows what it does.
Kensi and Hanna return to the garage and see someone snooping around with a flash light.
They apprehend the man and learn he is Garrison Timmons, Rush’s commanding officer.
In the interrogation room, Hanna asks Timmons about a piece of equipment that he brought
to the garage. Hanna takes the part that Kensi found and asks him about it. Timmons asks
for the other pair. He says Rush was working on a new battery technology that was powerful,
unstable, but worth millions. He says it wasn’t unusual for Rush to test new equipment. He
says he came there to search for the battery using the equipment that can be used to locate it.
Timmons says the technology would revolutionize their attack vehicles on the field.
Callen returns from class and wonders who sabotaged Rush’s car. Hetty asks Callen a traffic
question that he answers incorrectly.
At the garage, Angela says she doesn’t recognize the battery that was found on James’s car.
Hanna uses the detector to look for the battery, but finds nothing. Angela says she is worried
that Keith is looking for Tokkan.
Back in class, the instructor asks Callen for his attention. Callen asks the instructor if street
racers can be insured and he tells him that racing will void any insurance. Callen texts the team
and asks them to check on Rush’s policy. At the office, Nate confirms that Rush didn’t have an
insurance policy. Eric locates Tokkan’s car driving in the street.
Eric directs Hanna and Kensi to Tokkan’s car, but is spotted. They chase the driver through an
industrial area. Kensi manages to trap the driver and order him out. They discover that Tokkan
is actually the person who introduced herself as Allison Pritchet.
In the interrogation room, Hanna looks over Tokkan’s real record which is Alisha Takara,
who is a spoiled rich girl. Hanna accuses Tokkan of sabotaging James car. She says she was
in love with him. She says she was happy when he joined the Navy. Alisha admits that Tokkan
was Rush’s idea. She says she didn’t want to face what happened after Rush’s car exploded. She
says she suspects that another racer named Stringer who drove a pearl black Chevelle wanted
revenge.
Eric reports that Nick Stringer has a long criminal record. They see his vehicle in the video
taken at the race. They discover that Stringer talked to Keith before the race. Hanna and Kensi
find Keith strung up and doused with gasoline at the garage. They fight and beat up two men
who tied up Keith. After they free Keith, he says the men worked for Stringer. He says he bet
Stringer that James would beat Tokkan. He says he owes Stringer 70 thousand. Keith says that
Omar, who probably stole the other battery, runs with a crew called Los Locos Lowriders.
Callen gets a call in class during a demonstration. Kensi meets with Omar at the Los Locos
hangout. Hanna puts a gun to Omar and cuffs him. Kensi finds a large sum of cash on Omar
and wonder where it came from. Hanna uses the battery detector and pretends he has radiation
sickness. Hanna tells Omar they will take him to the hospital if he tells them where the battery is
and who sabotaged James’s car. Omar admits he sold the battery to Stringer. Hanna gives Omar
two pills he says will make him better. Omar realizes that he just gave him breath mints.
At the class, Callen finishes his final test. The blonde woman asks Callen if he would like to
grab a drink with her. Callen gets a call, tells the woman he has to take a raincheck, but she
says she has a photo shoot in the Bahamas.
At the office, the team figures that Stringer wants to use the battery to race Tokkan. Kensi
discovers that Tokkan was challenged. Hetty tells Hanna that she modified his Challenger to give
it a boost of speed.
Later, Kensi drives up in Tokkan’s car and orders Stringer to give up. Stringer gets in his
car and drives off. Hanna chases him down through the streets of L.A. Hanna activates Hetty’s

modification and catches up. Stringer hits a barrier and flips over. Hanna and Callen arrest
Stringer. Kensi finds the second battery installed in Stringer’s car.
At the office, Stringer admits to stealing the battery, but not to killing Rush. Kensi figures
that Angela was the one who sabotaged the car. She finds her as she is packing up the garage.
She tells Angela that she knows that she wanted James to stop racing, but didn’t expect him to
die. Angela admits she just wanted the racing to end. She confesses she disconnected his NOS
injector, but didn’t expect the new battery system to be installed.
After the case, Nate reports that the Navy is not pressing charges. Kensi asks Hanna and
Callen to take her for a drive. Hetty figures they want to take the car out for a spin and says
she removed the modification. Hetty tells Callen that he failed traffic school. Callen says he was
working on a case. Hetty sees Eric’s Segway and takes it out for a ride.

Summary: The team investigates the death of Marine for a possible link between
the military and the local gangs.
A Navy officer visits a barber shop and
asks the patrons a series of questions,
then leaves. After he checks off his list,
two car pulls up with its lights off just before
the passengers riddle the officer with
bullets from their automatic weapons.
At the office, Hanna sees a large Chinese
spear in the lobby. Hetty explains
that the wushu weapon is hers. Eric
blows a whistle and announces the start
of the briefing. Hetty tells the team she will speak to Eric about the whistle later. Eric tells the
team about Wendell Dobbs who was killed by AK-47 fire. He loads up the video footage that
shows the shooting. Hanna notices that one of the shooters dropped a magazine.
Nate tells the team that gang violence has become a problem with the military, but he can’t
find any gang ties to Dobbs. He figures that Dobbs was targeted since he was in uniform when
he was killed.
Hanna and Callen meet with Dobbs’s family at his home. Wendell’s father tells the team that
he was proud of his son. Dobbs answers the door and lets in a gang member who asks for
Lil’ Mac D. After he realizes that Dobbs is not alone, he returns to his car that is full of other
gang members. Dobbs tells the team that he thinks Lil’ Mac D is his younger son James. He
says after Wendell went to war, James got in the wrong crowd. He says after he was diagnosed
with diabetes, Wendell came back to help them. The team gets on the floor after they hear a car
screeching. The house is shot up with bullets from a drive by car.
Callen sends a photo that he took of the gang members to Eric. Hanna says he found a
paystub on the fridge from a company called Suntiago that he thinks James works at. Callen
says the bullets on the ground are the same that killed Dobbs. Mr. Wendall says the company
that James works for deals with heavy equipment like back hoes.
Eric learns that one of the men that Callen photographed is Rashad ’Slide’ Hollander who is a
former soldier discharged for gang activity. They see that James has a record of petty theft. Eric
reports that Slide has links to a gang called the 82nd Second Street Black Posse.
Callen and Hanna arrive at Suntiago and see that there are several humvees on hand. Hanna
pretends that he is James’s cousin and meets with his boss. The boss says James has not been
in since Friday. Hanna tells the boss that Wendall was killed during a drive by shooting. The
59

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
boss says he gave James the job as a favor to Wendall since he hooked him up with government
contracts to repair the humvees. He says that James was the night watchman that he never saw.
Hanna wonders if Wendall is supplying Los Angeles with humvees and weapons. Callen wonders
if James is hiding out at Wendall’s house. They arrive at the apartment and hear a television
on. Hanna uses a lockpick to open the door. James approaches Callen with a gun. He pretends
that he is Wendall’s friend just before Hanna sneaks up behind him and announces himself as a
federal agent. Callen takes James’s gun and ejects the bullet out of the chamber.
At the safe house, Callen and Hanna ask James why he was hiding out at his brother’s
house. James insists he was just chilling. James insists that Wendall was clean and didn’t move
weapons to the U.S. Calllen asks him why he didn’t enlist. He says he tried, but was rejected
after they found that he has a heart murmur. The team asks him why he is protecting the gang.
James explains in his neighborhood, you either are in the gang or a gang victim. Hanna offers
James something to eat. Outside the room, Hanna tells Callen that he thinks James is safest
there.
Hetty sneaks up on Hanna while he researches the case. Hetty figures that Hanna wants to
save James just like Moe and Dom. Hanna says the number one deaths for black men in America
is homicide. Hetty tells him he can’t save them all, but Hanna says he wants to save James.
Kensi reports that the humvees come and go through military transport in which they bypass
customs. She says it would not be hard to fill the vehicles with weapons. Eric says James’s boss,
Ronnie Miller, used to be a Serbian before he changed his name. Hetty suggests they use a FISA
warrant to search Ronnie’s business since the weapons could be connected to terrorist activities.
After the police search Suntiago, they are unable to find any weapons. Ronnie insists he runs
a legitimate business. Callen gets a call and learns there was a gang shoot out downtown.
The team learns that there were seventeen victims as a result of the gunfight. At the scene,
they find AK-47 magazines and rounds. Callen recognizes one of the dead victims as the one who
knocked on Dobbs’s door. They figure that the gang war is heating up.
Callen shows James the photos of the victims and tells him he and his father might be the
next victim. James admits he was in the car when his brother was shot. He explains Slide told
him he wanted to show him something and forced him to watch as they gunned his brother
down. James explains that since Wendell didn’t want him in the gang and out of Suntiago, Slide
got angry. He explains he just works the gate and didn’t know what was going on. Callen figures
that Slide was moving stuff without Ronnie or Wendell’s knowledge. Hanna tells James that if he
fights with them, they will take Slide and his men down.
Later, Nate says Slide will probably be more jumpy since the shoot out. Callen and Hanna
suggest they send in James, but Nate worries that Slide will kill him right away. Callen explains
that since Slide lost a lot of men during the shoot out, he probably wants James’s help. Hetty
tells the team she will deny that she was involved in the mission, but wishes them luck.
The team pulls up to a house where Slide is hiding out. Slide and his men come out and
are introduced to Hanna as his cousin. Hanna tells Slide that the man he was with was his
parole officer. Hanna says he is looking for some work. Slide tells James that they killed a lot
of Mexicans and Colombians in their gang fight. The men start to attack Hanna as part of their
initiation, but Hanna fights back. Hanna manages to take out all the men, but Slide pulls out a
rifle and orders him to stop. Slide welcomes Hanna to his gang.
Callen notices that the camera feed is out. Slide tells James to leave to go to work. Slide takes
Hanna to a shed where he is stashing a AK-47s. Hanna tells the men that he thinks the guns
are rip offs since the clips are not fitting right. Slide tells his partner Tiny that if his uncle sold
him knock offs, he is going to kill him. Tiny tells Hanna that his uncle got the guns from South
America. James uncovers a humvee and orders Hanna to drive. Callen calls Eric and orders him
to tell the police to leave the vehicle alone.
Hanna drives to Suntiago where they are let inside the gates by James. The gang searches
for a Humvee with an X on the side. Callen and Kensi follow with their automatic rifles. Slide
tries to start the humvee, but it doesn’t work. Slide orders Hanna to start the car. Hanna figures
that the battery is dead and orders the men to grab jumper cables. Ronnie arrives in his car and
tells Slider that he is on his property. Slide gives James his gun and orders him to kill Ronnie.
James points his gun at Slide and tells him he killed his brother. Callen and Kensi order the
gang members to drop their guns, but they fire back. Hanna shoots Slide as he speeds towards
him in the humvee. Hanna tells James that he did a good job.

During the day, Callen searches the Humvee and sees that it is hiding heroin. The team
figures that Slide had men plant drugs in the Humvees before they were shipped to the U.S.

Summary: Sam is assigned to go undercover as a fighter in a Mixed Martial Arts
(MMA) gym while the team is investigating the murder of a Marine.
Sam Hanna goes undercover as an
MMA fighter. He was forced into this role
after his team found the body of a Marine
stationed at Camp Pendleton outside of a
nightclub with major blood loss.
The team finds out that the Marine
was a fighter at a club called the Blood &
Guts Warriors. As they learn that he was
’blood packing’ to help him in his MMA
fights, the team believes he was given a
blood thinner to kill him. This leads a female team member to investigate the B&G Warriors’
club. She meets the owner, Victor Janklow, and three of the Marine fighters who train there.
There is also a man who seems out of place, as he isn’t a Marine, training with the men.
The man, Jason Wyler, is found to be an alias after a background check shows he isn’t a real
person. When a spot opens in the club, Hanna is sent in as DeMarco Williams to fight for the
spot and to find out what the club is really being used for. He ends up fighting Wyler.
After Hanna beats Wyler, the two scuffle outside of the MMA club. Both are taken into custody
where it is learned that Wyler is really an LAPD undercover officer, Marty Deeks, who is supposed
to find out about a suspected drug ring in the club.
After the team narrows the suspects down to find the culprit, Janklow, Hanna gets stuck
with Janklow in the club. Janklow also realizes that something isn’t right and starts questioning
Hanna. Just when it seems that Janklow will kill Hanna to avoid having him get too close, Deeks
shows up and helps Hanna take down the three men.
Later, Deeks is offered a liason position at NCIS. He accepts. This should lead to some exciting
future episodes as Hanna and Deeks have shown they work well together!

requested to assist in the search for the missing man.
An attack of a private plane immediately
after it lands, turns out to be a terrorist
takedown of the secret army transfer
of terrorist, Ala A Din Keshwar. NCIS:
LA gets called in because Keshwar is the
man Dom’s captors wanted released.
NCIS didn’t know the Army had him in
custody, much less that they were transferring
him. Tempers run high in a jurisdictional
war with Army Major Rick Medina,
as they try to find Keshwar before he escapes the country. They track down the van Keshwar
left the airport in, and Medina has his men charge it, against Callen’s orders not to.
As Callen predicted, the van was a trap with a suicide bomber driver, who blew up the van and
the men who got close to it. Using NCIS: LA’s tracking resources, Sam pushes to find Moe, the
Sudanese ”lost boy” he sponsored to get in the country; Moe has knowledge of the organization
that freed Keshwar.
Sam finds Moe, restores Moe’s trust and learns Moe got back into the country on a Turkish
ship. Callen suspects that Keshwar will use the same route to disappear and they race to the
port.
Improvising a quick undercover ruse, Callen and Kensi get close to the ship, however, Medina
shows up at the last minute, nearly blowing their operation. Turns out Medina sold out for money
and was trying to help Keshwar escape.

Summary: After Callen’s cover is blown and compromises the unit, the NCIS team
races to find out who is behind the security breach.
The episode opens with Callen being
tailed, which he picks up on instantly. A
chase ensues, with Callen turning the tables
on his stalker.
The man is killed in a car crash trying
to escape, but before he does, Callen
learns he’s been made. He cuts off communication
with NCIS.
A man contacts him, though, by the
name of Eugene Kilson. He was hired to
dig into Callen’s past for reasons unknown, and is using that to blackmail G.
Callen has to drop off a flash drive to some Bulgarian thugs or he’ll never learn the truth
about himself. He complies, but the drop goes awry and gunfire ensues.
Meanwhile, Kilson hacks into the NCIS mainframe, forcing Eric to take the office down.
The flash drive contained a travel itinerary on a business executive coming to down to close a
merger that would have sent stock tumbling. The gangsters wanted to put a stop to that.
NCIS intervenes and most of them die, save for the lead thug, who also evaded capture by
Callen in their previous encounter.
Callen agrees to meet Kilson, who he identifies as the man who ran over the man tailing him
at the very beginning. He chases him down and kills him after Kilson draws on him first, perhaps
burying his secrets too.
Or not. The team finds a key to an office with files Kilson kept, presumably including information
on Callen and a whole lot else.

Callen learns that a suburban housewife, Emma Mastin, is the next target.
Sam overhears that the squad members speaking in Farsi and learns that Vakar is actually
alive. Kensi and Deeks go to the Mastin home to find out why a Chechen terrorist group would
want Emma dead.
Kensi gains her trust and realizes that Emma’s son speaks Chechen. Emma volunteers to set
a trap for the hit squad in order to send Vakar a message; that it won’t be easy to kill her.
Hetty learns that Emma was Vakar’s wife and after his staged death, she became a highly
trained ”Black Widow” who was supposed to become a suicide bomber but escaped.
Her son’s father is really Vakar and he knows he needs to eliminate Emma to get his son back.
The team takes down the hit squad and Emma personally kills the hitman.

Summary: The NCIS team jumps into action when video surveillance footage
shows an ambush on a humvee transporting Marines in the desert.
Meanwhile, Nate returns from his mystery assignment.
A military hummer arrives in the
desert. Walker is the driver, and he hit every
rock over the last six miles. Hastings
sees something, and it turns out to be
a runner. They announce U.S. Marines,
but he keeps going. Two of them go back
in the Hummer, and the rest go on foot
to catch him. The Hummer hits a landmine
and goes up in flames. Somebody
yells ’AMBUSH!’ The team is under fire.
Outside the Hummer, we see a sign. ’State of California Seismic Monitoring Equipment’.
Kensi pulls up to Deeks. He’s going method, undercover as a homeless man, and truly reeks.
He asks for a lift and she refuses. He yells ’Thanks, partner!’ as she pulls away.
Callen and Hanna are training together. Callen comments that if Hetty has her way, they’re
going to be reusing bullets. Hanna says we’re saving the planet but Callen counters ’Don’t come
crying to me when she replaces our toilet paper with used Post-its.’
The guys see Getz is on the firing range, and they go in to talk to him. Callen asks Nate where
he’s been, and says Hetty wouldn’t tell them anything. He says they can discuss it over a beer,
but right now he has to go touch base with her. Hanna says ’that was weird’, and Callen responds
’even for Nate!’ They look at the target, and realize that somebody has been giving Nate shooting
lessons.
Deeks says there’s something wrong with the hot water heater. Hetty tells him it’s on a timer,
and he obviously exceeded it. Kensi says there should be an exception made in his case. Callen
and Hanna arrive, and the gang’s all there. They watch the footage of the Hummer accident
site. One of the marines escaped, but three are still missing. Callen notes that this doesn’t look
like Afghanistan and Hetty corroborates his impression. She states that it was filmed just after
sunrise outside of San Diego on the California/Mexican border. The marines were assisting ICE
and customs and border control in securing the area. The fear is that the marines either stumbled
across, or were specifically targeted by one of the Mexican cartels that use the area to smuggle
81

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
people, guns, drugs. Nobody has yet to claim responsibility for the ambush. They haven’t even
come up with a motive. Kensi says she can think of a few. Payback, leverage, prisoner exchange.
The one marine who did escape was Corporal Allen Reed. Because the team has ongoing cases
and intimate knowledge of the cartels, Director Vance has asked them to get involved. Callen tells
Deeks that he and Kensi are to check out the crime scene while he and Sam question the marine
who escaped. They’re also going to question their cartel connections and see if anybody knows
who is behind this. Deeks says he’s more of a city mouse and he thinks it would be more logical
to send the former Navy SEAL out there with Kensi. Callen tells him it will be a good experience
for him. He says sure it would, but he has a very fair complexion and he’s worried about burning,
whereas Sam here is African-American, and Africa is hot. Hanna says ’I’m from Brooklyn’. Kensi
grabs Deeks by the arm and drags him off, saying they’ll call if they find anything. He’s muttering
’Norwegian-American’ as they head out the door.
Hanna says he’s going to kill Deeks, Callen feels he’ll grow on him. Sam says ’so does ringworm’.
Kensi introduces herself to Major Orly as NCIS and Deeks as LAPD Liaison Officer, Detective
Marty Deeks. They are informed that the marine who escaped doesn’t remember much. Marty is
sceptical, but the Major asks him if he remembers his first firefight.
They find Montoya’s body, one of the missing marines. He has a sign on him written in
Spanish, which translates to ’Now to you we bring the war’.
The marines are doing a 100’ swath with border patrol in both directions. Orly’s guess is that
they’re going to try to smuggle them into Mexico if they haven’t already done so. Kensi says she
found SUV tracks heading in the other direction, and she’s pretty sure they are heading away
from Mexico. The major abruptly excuses himself. Kensi asks if she just got blown off, and Deeks
says yes, like Ronald McDonald at a PETA convention. He asks her how certain she is about the
tracks, and she says she’d bet his life on it. She asks him if he wants to go for a ride and he takes
that for sexual innuendo.
Hanna is talking to Eric on his cell. Tells him to check aerial surveillance for the area, going
back at least a month. Whoever did this has been planning it for some time. Callen suggests they
check with the other agencies, see if anybody’s picked up any related chatter. Hetty says they’ve
already done so. Also, Corporal Reed has been given a clean bill of health and is ready to be
questioned. He’s waiting at the boat shed with Nate. Hanna asks why Nate seems so distant, and
Hetty says it’s probably just jet lag. Callen asks a leading question, trying to determine where
Nate has been, but Hetty just calls it ’his assignment’ and they get nothing as far as new information
goes. Hanna asks where he was exactly, and Hetty says he was in the People’s Republic
of None of Your Damn Business. She’s also the one who gave him some shooting pointers.
Blye and Deeks take the bikes out to look for clues. They stop when she loses the SUV’s trail.
Kensi finds the tracks again, and they are headed west. She says her dad taught her everything
she knows, and asks Marty about his relationship with his dad. He said his dad hates him, he
told him so, and then he fired a shotgun at him. That’s why he hates Thanksgiving. That was six
years ago though so maybe his dad is dead by now.
Marty goes to pee by a bush and is startled by a rattlesnake, so he shoots it. He tells Kensi
that snakes freak him out ever since his friend’s boa constrictor tried to kill him.
Corporal Reed is being questioned. He remembers telling the runner to stop, but he doesn’t
and next thing he knows, they’re taking fire from all directions. He thinks the blast was enough
to knock him unconscious because he believes he blacked out. When he came to, the humvee
was destroyed and everybody was gone. He is told that Montoya was found that morning, and
that Hastings and Walker are still missing. Reed believes he got the runner with a head shot,
and they tell him that Montoya was killed with a head shot. He asks if they thought he did this,
and Callen turns the question back on him. He says yes, because he was in charge, and so
he is responsible for everything that followed. He’s more worried about Hastings, because she’s
pregnant. He was the only one who knew. Nate asks if Reed is the father and he says no. Montoya
was.
Getz, Hanna and Callen are discussing the questioning. They don’t know if the cartel theory
makes more sense or if there is a love triangle, and Reed killed his fellow marines. Nate thinks
he’s genuinely traumatized. Callen calls Kensi to see if she found out anything, and she says no.
He tells her they are going to go find their favorite snitch, J.J., and find out what he knows. They
agree to let each other know if they find out anything.

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
JJ runs from Callen, and Hanna clotheslines him. They ask him about the Mexican cartel,
and he says he knows nothing. They threaten him so he spits out the name Emilio Ortego. Callen
says he got blown up last week, and J.J. says yes, and when that happened everybody started
scrambling to fill his spot. He says the guy who’s going to get it is Memo Torres. Callen tells him
if he sees him selling anything other than star maps, he won’t even call LAPD, he’ll run J.J. over
with his car himself.
Hetty asks Nate about Reed. He says he’s afraid. She asks if it’s for his fellow marines, and
he says no, for himself. There are worse things than death, for a marine. The conversation shifts
imperceptibly, and they end up talking about Nate. He says yes. He wants to go back. He hasn’t
discussed it with the others and he would appreciate it if she didn’t either. She agrees.
Hetty finds Hanna looking for a former alias. She says no, that alias is compromised. NLV
means No Longer Viable. Hanna says his cover was never blown, and he spent seven months
working Memo Torres. He says this alias is the only way to contact Memo Torres today. She says
Tyrell Ellis has a price on his head. She doesn’t like it, but Callen backs Hanna.
Hanna and Callen arrive. Hanna goes in to make contact with Torres, and Callen calls Eric,
asking him to identify the principles in the photos he just took. Memo tells Terrel he should have
stayed away, and one of his thugs goes and locks the door. Terrel tells Memo he almost had a
safe corridor set up until Torres screwed it up by kidnapping a bunch of marines. Torres says he
doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
Hetty calls Callen and tells him Director Vance would appreciate an update. Hetty says that
the fact that she hasn’t heard anything on the police scanner indicates Sam is still alive. Callen
says Sam knows he has to play it cool. This statement is followed by a body flying out the window
of Torres’ place. Sam has Torres in a headlock, and cuffs him.
Kensi and Deeks follow the trail until it could have gone one of two ways, and they don’t know
which.
Naval Criminal Investigative Service. That’s what they tell Torres. He responds that he’s not in
the navy. They tell him that because what he did was against marines on active duty, according
to the Patriot Act, that’s domestic terrorism.
Nate pulls them out of the meeting to tell them that the only thing found in Memo’s shop was a
couple of unregistered handguns and some cash. No contraband, no drugs, nothing. Hanna says
except for the fact that he did try to kill him. Nate is going over the surveillance photos Callen
took at Memo’s place. The one guy that’s not a player is Donald Wexling, he’s a multi-million
dollar textile manufacturer. He’s a high-profile business and community man. He won’t want an
obvious connection to a drug dealer. They should lean on him. Callen asks Nate for more info on
Wexling.
Kensi and Deeks find what looks to be a cartel site, and they call it in to Eric.
Hanna and Callen approach Wexling. Hanna tells him they are federal agents who would like
to ask him a few questions. He tells them that he has to pay Memo extortion monies to keep his
people and businesses safe. He tells them he has to do this because they aren’t doing their job
in ’the war against drugs’. If they have any other questions, they should ask them through his
attorney.
Kensi and Deeks eyeball the two missing marines in the camp they found. They are both
injured. There are three shooters. Kensi and Deeks are heading out, and Callen is asking Eric
to get him a lift out of there now. The cartel guys see the bikes, and give chase on ATVs. One of
them fires at Deeks. His big spins out and he hits the dirt.
Kensi knocks out the marines guard, and tries to hide the marines. She also attempts to
contact Deeks but he’s laying on the ground. When one of the cartel kicks him to try to make
sure he’s dead, Deeks flips over and shoots him. The rest of the cartel is looking for the hostages.
Deeks shows up and opens fire. They arm the marines, and Kensi calls Eric to tell him they are
pinned down. The cartel has a grenade launcher, and the team in the copter is still ten minutes
away. Kensi sees a vehicle nearby they can take. Deeks says he’ll draw their fire, and she and the
marines can make a run for it. While Deeks holds their fire, she attempts to hot wire the SUV.
As she is doing so, the helicopter arrives. The guys in the copter take out all the cartel guys and
NCIS clears the area.
They don’t look like Cartel members. They’re working for Donald Wexling. He refuses to answer
any questions without his attorney being present. Hanna says because they have proof he paid
to have U.S. Marines kidnapped and killed, he’s going to need a whole team of attorneys.

Nate’s packing up and heading out. He tells Hetty she’s taught him a lot. She tells him he’s
an important part of this team and he always will be. They say good-bye.

Summary: A Marine with a top-level security clearance is found dead and missing
a hand in Beverly Hills. His death appears to be connected to a recent
tour in Iraq.
Mall security guards see a probable
pickpocket incident. They start jumping
through all the cams, trying to track the
perp. When they see an altercation in
the parking garage, they notify the closest
guard to check it out. While he’s doing
so, he hears horrified reactions from
a couple, and goes to investigate. There is
a body on the ground, throat slashed and
missing his right hand above the wrist.
G, Kensi and Sam are trying to decide what they should get Hetty for her birthday. Martie
shows up and tries to help them brainstorm. She always says she doesn’t want any gifts or a
party, so they always do the opposite (just in case she didn’t mean it). When Martie suggest
clothes, Kensi sends the noncommittal ”drop it” smile to indicate that Hetty is listening.
The team gets summoned upstairs by Nell Jones to find out about the latest case. The body on
the floor is Corporal Porter from Camp Pendleton. Hanna notes that the expensive mall where he
was found is way above his pay grade. Eric is trying to fill the team in, but Nell keeps interrupting
at all the best moments. The severed hand is missing, but everything worth anything was left
behind - watch, keys, and wallet (which was full of cash and credit cards). Nell mentions that
BHPD is working up forensics.
Hettie states that Porter was working in Pendleton’s G-2 office. Nell proceeds to interrupt HER
to state that everyone in that office has a top secret security clearance. Even clerks. The team is
holding their breath, but Hettie finally smiles and says she was just getting to that. Commander
Vance wants them in charge to make sure that NCIS was not compromised. BHPD has agreed to
let them take lead.
Hanna asks about security footage. They see what the guards saw, and wonder why Porter’s
hand was taken. Nell suggests that they might need his prints for access to sensitive material.
Hettie thinks that’s a strong possibility. Porter just got back from a tour of duty in Iraq a few
weeks ago. They came up with a couple of people to talk to, one being his best friend and the
other is possibly bad blood.
85

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
G tells Deeks and Kensi to work with BHPD forensics. Nell tells Hettie she hears she’s a tea
drinker, and gives a quote about tea. Hettie looks like she’s about to say something, but she
turns and leaves.
Hanna and G go talk to PFC James Winston. Turns out Porter owed him a couple grand.
Which is enough for bad blood, but not enough to kill a man over. Winston says he was slow
paying him back, but he’d lent him money before and he always came through. Porter was
supposed to have a business deal coming through, was going to pay off big. Winston said he was
in the barracks at the time of the murder.
BHPD came through on the forensics. Porter bled out. His carotid artery and jugular vein were
severed by a very sharp blade between 7-12” in length.
Peterson tells G and Hanna that Porter has a girlfriend, Diane Farley. They were thinking
about getting married, but she thought he was cheating on her.
Eric tells Nell he really doesn’t want her finishing his sentences. She has a Type A personality,
borderline ADD and control issues with men she admires. It’s something she’s aware of. All Eric
really heard was that she admires him. She says stop, and he thinks she means talking, but she
meant stop the tape. They see Porter had a case cuffed to his wrist and come to the conclusion
that whoever cut off Porter’s hand wanted what was inside that case.
The handcuffs could have been snapped with a bolt cutter. Nobody needed to take his hand
off to get to it. So the $64,000 question is what was inside the briefcase. Nothing sensitive has
come up missing from Porter’s G-2 unit. Hanna runs through the possibilities of what could be
inside.
Deeks and Kensi arrive to question Diana Farley. She doesn’t know anything except that he
was different when he got back from Iraq. He was talking nonstop about high-ticket items. He
wanted to replace her tiny band and diamond with something bigger and flashier.
Eric and Nell are discussing Porter’s last day on earth. When he filled up his tank, he bought
an herbal drink that calms. That led them to conclude he was trying to calm down, he was
nervous about something. He took $60 out of the ATM. He made two trips to Los Angeles in less
than 48 hours. The downtown garage is inside the California Jewelry Mart.
Hanna and G go there to find out if he was buying jewelry to sell, or selling it. The guy behind
the counter claimed he didn’t recognize Porter’s picture, until G hauled out his badge. G asked
him if somebody was looking to sell something they shouldn’t be selling, who would they go to?
The salesman said Jacob Rosen, third floor.
Jacob’s office is closed at 10:15 a.m. The security panel isn’t lit, so G and Hanna let themselves
in, guns drawn. They find a bloody hand on the floor, but it’s Rosen’s - and he’s dead.
Hanna figures that the second hand was cut off to send a message. LAPD lets them have the
case. Hanna thinks they’re being nice, but actually Rosen didn’t have a computer. It’s going to
eat a lot of man hours to get through his records.
Hettie wonders aloud how she put up a group that was so unappreciative of the hand-written
ledger. It has so much meaning to the writer, and by extension to the reader as well. G thinks
they’re coming up empty, but Kensi finds information showing he did work with four Rodeo Drive
jewelers on a regular basis.
Eric and Nell checked the four out, and none seemed to have any relevance, exept one. That
gentleman is a devout Muslim. Aziz Anshiri was a prominent jeweler during Saddam Hussein’s
regime, serving the President’s family himself. During Porter’s tour in Iraq, his squad leader was
accused of stealing valuables from a house they raided in Baghdad. And not just any valuables:
ancient jewelry looted from the National Museum in ’03. Over half the valuables are still missing
to this day. Jacob Rosen’s phone records indicate that he called Anshiri just a few days ago. G’s
guess is that Porter stole something in Iraq that had already been stolen from the museum, and
took it home.
Hettie hands over her prize possession; a Rolex rumored to be the most collected ever. Deeks
jokes about if it has any Bond-like capabilities, and she retorts ”you scratch it, you buy it.” She
provides Kensi with a bracelet that went missing during the looting of the National Museum.
Both Kensi and Deeks stop themselves from asking how she got it.
When they arrive at the jewelry store, they pretend to be looking for an engagement ring.
When Anshiri catches sight of Kensi’s bracelet, he becomes very serious and asks where she got
it. She says ’a friend’. He tells her he can’t help them, and they must leave. Kensi calls G and
tells him Anshiri is definitely sketchy.
86

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
Anshiri seems nervous, and G and Hanna follow him into a primo restaurant. They were going
to lie their way in, but Anshiri comes out with three other men. G gets a pic and the men panic.
He managed to send it to Eric who took all of two seconds to get a hit. The guys name is Salim
Al-Jamal, and he’s a major player in terrorist funding for Al-Quaida.
While G and Hanna are questioning Anshiri, Martie and Kensi are going through his house.
They are surprised by Mrs. Anshiri, who apparently did not know they were present, despite the
fact that they were there with a warrant.
Anshiri is adamant that he has never met Corporal Porter. Hanna makes the point that according
to the Koran, lying is an abomination. Anshiri continues to deny ever dealing with Porter.
Finally he rattles off what all America has done to Iraq, and given her actions, asks why they are
calling HIM a terrorist.
At the bottom of a small tool chest, Kensi finds a blood-stained knife wrapped in a paper bag.
She calls Hanna. Because it was wrapped in a paper bag, he knows that Anshiri is being set
up. If he had done it, it would have been wrapped in a ceremonial cloth. A necklace was found
in with the knife, which belonged to an ancient Queen of Mesopotamia, now known as Iraq. G
concludes that whoever killed Porter and set up Anshiri either knew Porter or Rosen; or both.
While checking the traffic cams, Nell and Eric find an SUV that was just two blocks from
Anshiri’s. That same vehicle entered the parking garage just an hour before Porter was murdered.
Eric adjusts the angle and is able to get the license plate. The car belongs to Winston, the one
Porter owed money to. When they question him, he’s adamant. He wasn’t there. They ask who
could have a key, like a washer or repair guy. He said he washes it himself. The only person who
had access to his keys was Peterson, Porter’s best friend.
Peterson didn’t show up for work that morning, left them a man short. One of the motor pool
guys says that Peterson’s girlfriend’s name is Ellen in San Ysidro, and that’s all he knows. G calls
Eric and asks him to track her down. He and Nell run a reverse look-up on his call log and come
up with her name and address. G and Sam go out to question her, Peterson leaps in his hummer
and speeds away. They realize he’s making a run for the border. If he makes it, he’s safe. They’re
in hot pursuit, literally on his bumper.
When they stop him, Sam orders him hands out window. He puts out his left hand, but the
right hand comes up with a gun. They shoot first and take him out.
Peterson was the missing link. Porter told his best friend about what he’d stolen in Iraq.
Peterson hooked him up with his old boss, who hooked him up with Anshiri. Best friend kills
Porter and Rosen, sets up Anshiri, and uses Winston’s car when he’s in LA so he can’t be id’d.
Hettie comes out with a small blue box, and gives it to Kensi. Says BHPD found it in Porter’s
personal effects, and she should know what to do with it. The gang finally let Hettie’s birthday
pass without incident, but Nell wasn’t on the same page. She dropped balloons from the ceiling
and gave Hettie a perfect scarf. She says it’s from all of them, but Hettie doesn’t buy it. She
invites everybody in her office for the single malt.
Kensi hangs behind, and calls Diane Farley about her engagement ring.

Summary: The NCIS team must race the clock to save a Naval Commander’s
daughter who’s been buried alive. The case is linked to a man already
in prison for three similar murders.
A male voice is heard asking a 14
year-old girl, Amanda, to tell him a bit
about herself. He asks if she has a
boyfriend, and she says no. He acts like
he doesn’t believe her, because he thinks
he is. Her dad, Navy Commander Jason
Rehme, arrives home, and notes that
Daniel is videotaping his daughter in the
hot tub, and he orders Daniel to leave,
now. When Daniel does so, the dad then
sends Amanda to bed.
Amanda is awakened by a noise outside her window. She dresses and goes outside, thinking
it’s Daniel, but he doesn’t answer when she calls out. When she sees a beer bottle on the table,
she says ”Daddy?” but still no response. Somebody in black approaches from behind and places
a plastic bag over her head and face.
When she comes to, she is in a box, with duct tape over her mouth, which she promptly
removes. She checks her cell, and it has no signal. She begins calling for help, rapidly becoming
hysterical.
Callen and Hanna arrive at work, discussing Hanna’s fear of clowns. Kensi has a fear of back
hair on men. Emminently shudder-worthy. She has an alias at a dating site. Deeks finds it and
proceeds to mock her unmercifully. They all head upstairs when Eric gives them the whistle
signal to join Hetty.
Eric starts the meeting with a picture of Commander Jason Rehme. He is responsible for
designing the cryptograph logons used by the Department of Naval Personnel with the highest
security clearance. He literally holds the keys to the Navy’s classified kingdom in his head. Hetty
tells the group that Commander Jason Rehme is missing. He had an 0600 meeting that he never
showed up for. He hasn’t answered any calls, texts, or emails. Nell says that he’d be a prime
target for both domestic and international terrorists. Hanna notes that we have therefore been
compromised for about 1.5 hours. G asks for his last whereabouts, and the team moves out.
89

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
G, Sam, Kensi and Marty arrive at the Rehme home. The front door is locked, and they all
pull their weapons. Deeks and Blye head around back while G jimmies the door. Inside they find
nothing unusual, but Kensi comes in to let them know she found blood. They’re checking into
where it leads, when Kensi says she found the commander. He’s a wreck, and holding one of
his daughter’s flip-flops. He thinks he upset her last night, and went looking for her. She goes
running on the trails in the morning. He explains to the team about how things had unfolded
the night before, and how he handled it. Kensi asks for the boys name, and the Commander tells
them: Daniel Proeffer.
Hanna asked if Amanda’s mom died, and Jason says four years ago, asking how Sam knew
that. Sam says divorcees don’t leave pictures of their ex all over the house. Jason says he just
wanted to tell her he was sorry, and Sam says he’ll be able to do that as soon as they find her.
The Commander gets a message. Says it’s from Amanda, but that’s not her email address.
There’s a web link, and Jason accesses it. He sees Amanda, unconscious within a box. The lid is
then hammered into place. Sam flashes back to having been buried alive, himself.
FBI Senior Special Agent Lisa Rand wants to make sure the father isn’t in the house when
they play a video. Three other girls were buried in just such a manner two years ago, and they
got the guy. Lucas Maragos. He’s doing life, but everything about the case is the same. Same blue
surgical gloves, duct tape across the mouth - everything. But since he’s serving three consecutive
life sentences, Rand says we have a copycat. Sam wants to know if the video was ever released to
the public, and Rand says they were used as evidence during the trial. G wonders if Maragos had
a partner, and Rand responds there was no evidence of such. She’s going to go over the records
and see if any names pop up.
Sam flashes on his attempts to escape. He wasn’t buried alone, there was a fellow soldier in
there with him named Lucas. Rand informs NCIS that the FBI will take it from here. As they are
leaving, Rehme approaches them. He doesn’t trust the FBI, he’s Navy born and bred. He asks if
there is any way that NCIS can stay on the case. G tells him it’s outside their jurisdiction. Rehme
says he lost his wife, he couldn’t bear to lose his child as well. When G starts to reiterate that
they can’t, Sam cuts him off and tells Rehme they will see what they can do.
Sam asks Hetty if he can stay on the case. She tells him the same thing G said, but he
disagrees. Rehme is the gatekeeper for all of the Navy’s classified information, and NCIS is Navy.
He believes that while the FBI is chasing the killer, Commander Rehme could be blackmailed.
Hetty says it’s an interesting thought. Sam says he’s taking a leave of absence, and starts to walk
away. Hetty asks him not to turn his back on her, she would never do that to him. She then says
”find her.”
Eric says the park where Amanda may be buried is huge, finding her would be comparable to
the old needle/haystack scenario. And because her body temperature is dropping, infrared isn’t
a solution, either. The team decides to go over Amanda’s video again, in comparison to the videos
of the other three girls. They are struck by how exactly alike the four are.
Nell shows them a black Chevy Malibu leaving the park at 4:30 a.m. The vehicle has no plates,
but is sporting unrepaired damage to the driver’s side rear quarter panel. Because it’s a relatively
new vehicle, G figures they would have made an insurance claim. Eric turns up two matches in
the LA area. The match turns up as a leased vehicle to Galea shipping, a Greek company that
operates out of the Port of LA. The President of the company is Andre Maragos, brother of Lucas.
Deeks gets sent out to the penitentiary where Lucas is incarcerated, to see if he can get any
answers.
Eric states that FBI files indicate that all the boxes were buried at the same depth, and that
their dimensions were exactly the same. By calculating remaining oxygen, Eric believes that
Amanda has about nine hours to live. Sam sets an alarm on his cell, and asks that there be
a countdown timer on the big screen and all the screens in the office, along with a picture of
Amanda. He wants everybody to keep her foremost in their minds.
G, Sam and Kensi get out of the car, and G calls Eric to ask if they got anything off the
security camera. He said no go, it’s closed circuit and the alarm company indicates no recorders.
G introduces himself to security, and Sam quietly tells Kensi to look around, see if she can find
the Malibu. G and Sam follow the guard in to speak with Andre Maragos. He asks what this is
about, and they ask about the Malibu. He denies knowing of any such vehicle. They tell him
it’s leased to his company, and he says they lease 50 cars. Sam’s phone rings, and it’s Kensi
announcing she found the Malibu.

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
When they arrive at the garage, Maragos asks Kensi how she got in there, as the garage was
locked. Mr. and Mrs. Maragos tell the agents that Jennifer, their personal assistant, drives this
car. They are asked where Jennifer is now, and the answer is backpacking in Alaska.
G finds a picture of Andre and Lucas and asks him if they went to camp together. They did,
but Andre states that Lucas is mentally ill. Sam asks specifically which camp, and it’s the one in
the National Forest that butts up against the Rehme home.
Lucas meets with Deeks. He tells Deeks he didn’t kill those girls. Now that another one has
gone missing, he may gain his freedom. Marty asks if Andre is his partner, did they work as a
team. Lucas says no. He thinks Andre did it. The DNA says Lucas did it, but he says nobody
checked Andre’s DNA. Lucas offers to help NCIS if they help get him out of there.
Andre is offering any help he can to G. When asked where he was last night, he was home
with his wife. Sam calls Kensi and tells her that Andre claims he was home with the wife last
night. She says she’ll see what she can do, and goes to question the wife. She says he was home
last night, and he didn’t do it. Kensi says she doesn’t think he did, either. But she bets he wasn’t
home last night, and that his wife would like to know where he was. Kensi asks again, and the
wife doesn’t answer; but that’s Kensi’s answer, and she relays it to Sam.
Sam goes in and gives the information to Kensi, When Andre hears that his wife gave him up,
he claims he was at work, and now he wants a lawyer. Conversation over.
Eric confirms that Andre was at work all night, but Sam doesn’t buy it. His cell phone being
there doesn’t mean he was there. Sam wants witnesses or video confirmation. G says Andre’s
attorney has gone before the judge to get him out. Sam fears that Andre is a flight risk. If he gets
out and runs to a country with no reciprocity, they may never see him again.
G goes to talk to Hetty about why they’re on the case. He says he accepts Sam’s privacy, but
he needs to know what’s going on. She gives him a document which he silently reads. Hetty
advises G to stay close to Sam.
Eric and Sam discover that Andre’s car and phone stayed at work, but he didn’t. He took a
company car - but not the Malibu.
Deeks calls and tells Sam he needs to be at the site where they are digging up the animal
skeletons Lucas says Andre tortured and killed. Sam asks if there are any other sites, and Lucas
refers him back to Andre. Sam uncuffs Lucas and takes him for a walk. Sam tells him he either
shows him where there’s another site, or he’ll tell everyone how Lucas went for his gun and he
was forced to defend himself. Lucas sees the error of his ways and says there are a few more
sites. They hear the shovel hit a box, and they start digging faster. The box is opened, but it’s the
missing victim of the girls he went to prison for killing.
Lucas and Andre come face-to-face. Andre says Lucas is destroying his life, and Lucas retorts
that he could say the same. Rand shows up and tells the brothers that if Amanda is found dead,
it’s going to constitute special circumstances, which translates to the death penalty. Lucas tells
Andre he knows his dark side; he know what he’s capable of. This time he can’t pin it on Lucas,
because Lucas was in prison.
Rand informs Andre that she got a court order to get a DNA sample from Andre and compare
it to the DNA found on the bodies of the first girls. Andre insists that Lucas must have a partner,
he hand-delivered his last victim to NCIS. They ask him where he was last night, since they know
he left work.
Rehme shows up, asking which one did it. Sam tells him they don’t know, could be neither
of them. He asks how long his daughter has to live, and Sam says they estimate she has about
six hours of oxygen left. Deeks tells Sam that Andre’s lawyer just showed up with an order for
release. He states that a woman has testified that she is Mr. Maragos’ mistress. In light of her
testimony that Andre was with her last night, the judge has ordered him released.
Sam says he’s leaving to find Amanda. G follows him. He asks Sam what happened in Bosnia.
Sam says that if G spoke to Hetty, then he knows. Sam fills him in on how things unfolded there.
Sam recounts getting a tube out so he can get air. When he lights the last match, he sees that
the man in there with him had died. The conversation is interrupted by Eric announcing a flight
plan out of Burbank; Andre Maragos is trying to leave the country.
Sam tells Eric to tell them to stop, but Eric tells him air traffic control has already attempted
to stop him numerous times. Sam shoots out the front tires of the plane before it can take off,
and the pilot is ordered to shut it down. They keep their guns drawn. Andre had his entire family
on the plane with him. In questioning, he claims repeatedly that he was free to leave the country.
91

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
Sam asks him why he offered his pilot $1,000,000 to keep going, and get him to Venezuela. Once
again he blamed his brother. Sam puts his hand around the nape of Andre’s neck and whispers
in his ear that he’s not buying it.
Sam is called out of the room because they have something. The DNA is a rock-solid match
for Lucas, and not Andre. They also have proof that he was with his mistress last night, as the
couple made a video. There was a date and time stamp on the news that clearly proves the video
was created that night. This brings them back to ground zero, because Andre was all they had.
Sam notices that in the video, the kidnapper removed the blue glove. He wants to make it look
like a piece of evidence was left behind. He asks Eric to digitally make it happen. They’ll then
show the picture to Andre and Lucas, and see if a partner comes out of the woodwork. Nell says
that whoever did it is going to return to the scene of the crime. And since they’ll have the park
staked out, they hope to find Amanda. Eric and Nell go to work creating the video. They show the
video to Andre and Lucas. The boys walk in at Andre’s, and his wife sends them back out again.
Kensi put GPS on the Malibu, and it’s headed for the western part of the park. Eric wants
recent photos from the camp in the park, and Nell goes looking. G and Sam arrive at the black
Malibu. Eric tells them that he stopped moving 100 yards west of them, and they follow him in.
There were two of them, Sam and G give chase. Nell finds that Amanda went to the camp. When
they take down the runners, they are Andre’s sons. Sam and G dig up the box while Sam flashes
on being rescued. Sam gives Amanda mouth-to-mouth, and she starts breathing.
Rand tells G good job. Sam gives Amanda the dog tags of his dead buddy, for good luck. She
runs into her father’s arms. Sam walks away, smiling.
The boys said they wanted to ”know what killing felt like.”
G tells Sam that he sat in poison oak out there. Sam says he didn’t, but Hetty says he did.
She offers to give him a good thick slathering of calamine lotion, promising not to look while he
removes his pants. When Hetty turns around, she’s alone in the office.

Production Code: 206
Summary: After a downtown Navy Recruitment Center is held hostage, Callen mediates
with his ex-partner, Tracy Keller, to uncover information about
a hijacked shipment of Spike missiles.
The show opened with Marty laughingly
playing the three card trick in the
NCIS LA headquarters with a few of his
male team members. He quickly moved
the three cards about the table, all the
while egging his companions on, taking
bets as to whom might pick the winning
card. Surprisingly, one of them won, leaving
Marty with egg on his face, so to
speak. He had been so very sure that
none of them would win, even though he seemed to be giving them broad hints as to where
the winning card might lie, though, in reality, he was giving them some misleading information.
All the while, one of the other team members was filming the card action from the upper floor of
the building.
The team received a call from LAPD that a female had invaded the Naval recruitment building
across town, taking many male and female hostages, forcing them to stand on chairs in front of
the windows of the structure to protect herself whilst she negotiated with LAPD for release, then
she demanded to talk with her ex partner, (and ex-husband) Callen who rushed to the scene.
Callen conversed with the woman via phone and found out it was Tracy Keller, his ex-partner
and ex-wife who had disappeared five years ago without an explanation. Tracy demanded that
Callen enter the building and talk with her because she said her life was in danger and she
could not come outside. Fearfully, Callen entered the building and talked with her, asking her
if she understood just how dangerous a move she had made and why she had made it. Tracy
stated that ”they were after her” and explained the predicament to him: she claimed that she and
another partner had come into possession of some sim cards that operated some stolen Spikes
missiles. She told Callen that the sim cards were safely ensconced in a certain warehouse across
town and that a certain arms dealer and his men wanted the cards and missiles.
Callen seemed taken aback by all this and demanded proof upon which Tracy told him the
address of the warehouse. Meanwhile, some of the NCIS LA team members were busily jamming
the electronics in the Naval Recruitment building to be able to listen in on Tracy’s conversation
with Callen for his own safefty.
93

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
Tracy tried to arouse Callen’s past affection for her as his ex-wife, but she didn’t seem to get
anywhere with him. Callen told her that he would go with her to the warehouse as soon as it
was safe for the two of them to leave the building. Outside the recruitment center, the LAPD and
FBI were fretting, guns and other protective equipment at the ready in case Tracy were to make
a fatal move. They noticed that the hostages were trickling from the front of the building one by
one, but were still on guard. An LAPD sniper had been stationed on the roof of a building across
the street and was shot in the back of the neck. A survelliance camera caught his killer, the
corrupt FBI agent John White, one of three corrupt agents in on the illicit sim cards and stolen
missiles deal.
Sam instructed Tracy to call Agent John White to meet her at the beach where they would
talk about and seal the deal. What Tracy did not know was that White intended to kill her, but
she did strongly suspect him. The team was waiting nearby in various disguises to protect her.
When White approached her, he drew his gun and she did, also, warning him not to shoot. He
surrendered his gun and was going for the backup gun hidden in his sock when Sam winged him.
Tracy fired two rounds which killed him. Sam and the others came running. Tracy explained to
Sam that she knew White had intended to kill her and had no regrets shooting him. Sam had to
agree and the body was removed.
Meanwhile, Callen and Tracy traveled to the warehouse she had told him about in the guise of
arms sellers. Tracy had called the number of the arms buyer/dealer to meet them at the isolated
warehouse to peruse the weapons. Once there, Tracy offered the arms dealer a sim card to test
a missile. He aimed it at a metal shipping container which Sam was hiding behind and fired,
totally destroying the container. Sam indicated via radio to the other team members that he was
alright and to watch Tracy carefully, protect her and Callen. The arms dealer demanded another
sim card to shoot another missile which Tracy handed over once more, but this time, the sim
card did not seem to work which made the arms dealer very suspicious. He drew his gun and
fired, missing Tracy and Callen, and the NCIS team moved in with gunfire all around. One of the
arms dealer’s men was killed and the arms dealer drove his car into a truck, smashing the front
end of his car, making it inoperable. The team closed in on him, handcuffing him. The sim cards
and stolen missiles were recovered.
Tracy begged Callen, for old time’s sake, to let her go, to not arrest her. He did, with misgivings.
Later, near the end of the show, Callen stepped aboard a sumptuous yacht that Tracy had
purchased for herself. The scene was in the Cayman Islands on a beautiful day on the water.
Tracy tried once again to seduce Callen into coming back to her, to try to restore their old
relationship, stating that she missed him, still loved him very much, but Callen realized that too
much time had gone by, too many things had happened. for that to come about again. He asked
Tracy why she had disappeared on him five years ago and she merely said that she was just
keeping him safe, that at that time she had become mixed up in something very dangerous and
that he, as an FBI agent, would have been killed. Callen asked Tracy what her real name was
and as she was saying Rosetti, Sam stepped out onto deck, joining them. Tracy turned to Callen
as Callen told her, ”You really didn’t think that I would show up without my partner, did you?”
He said it with an ironic, somewhat sad smile and bade Tracy a reluctant goodbye as he and
Sam left her boat.

Summary: After a state department employee and a plastic surgeon are murdered
by a group of terrorists, the NCIS team must frantically search for the
only witness who can identify the killers.
The show opened with a pretty young
blond surgeon’s wife, Jillian, running up
the steps of the LA Federal building,
handing a large manila envelope to a
tall African American man who was then
promptly assaulted by a man in LAPD
motorcycle police garb. The two men
struggled violently after the man in uniform
shot his pistol at Jillian, but missed.
The two men fell down the steps and the
assailant drew his gun once more, firing directly at the victim, killing him, then escaping. The
attacker’s name was Michael Bonds, one of a small group of Mogadishu terrorists lying low in
Los Angeles.
Agent Dekes and his partner were shown the Federal building’s surveillance tapes, displaying,
closeup, the attack on the front steps of the building, but it did not make any sense that someone
would want to attack the petite woman. Dekes surmised that what the assailant was after was
lying in the manila envelope that the man had stolen from Jillian, but what might it be? It was
determined that Jillian was a nurse working at a posh plastic surgeon’s office, her husband the
owner and surgeon she worked for. Jillian was pregnant, trying to protect herself and her unborn
child, but she didn’t want it to be public knowledge since this man was after her and whatever
the envelope had contained.
FBI Agents Sam and Dekes traced down the clinic owned by Jillian and her cosmetic surgeon
husband, found the front door wide open, drew their guns and quickly looked the place over,
finding her husband shot to death on an office floor. The agents called for backup to have the body
removed and set off to find Jillian. Records found at the office confirmed Sam’s suspicions that
a terrorist cell organization was involved, this time from Mogadishu. The records showed that at
least four men from Mogadishu had had facial surgeries performed by the now decease surgeon,
Sam suspecting that he had been forced to do by the terrorists. Back at the lab, the electronics
experts traced one suspect by his IP address to a posh apartment building in downtown Los
Angeles. The agents hurried to the building, quietly climbing the stairs to the third floor but not
95

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
knowing the precise number of the apartment. Cleverly, Agent Dekes pulled the fire alarm handle
at one of the floor’s hallway, thus flushing out the suspect and as the man ran to the rooftop,
the agents shouted at him to stop, but he refused to. He climbed up on the parapet, teetering
dangerously back and forth, finally jumping but managing to catch the edge of the parapet. He
demanded loudly that the agent let him go, to let him die, but the agent refused. The man pulled
a pistol from the back of his pants and fired wildly, forcing the agent to let him drop to his death
below. He was dead when the agents got to the scene.
Agent Dekes and a female partner found that Jillian might have taken off to an exclusive
health and beauty spa in the distant hills, so they traveled there to find her, if possible. Agent
Dekes decided to pose as his partner’s agent, to keep suspicion from entangling them further in
the case. Once at the spa, he poured on the schmaltz, angering his partner who did not dare
put a bad face on the act. A staff member was giving the two a thorough tour of the place when
Dekes spotted a frightened and obviously nervous Jillian standing near the private wing before
entering. Dekes asked what that portion of the clinic was, was reassured that it was only for
very private clients. He waved his partner and the staff member on, pretending that he had a
very important call to make. As the two women left, Dekes rushed into the private wing, but had
no idea what he was in for. He had invaded a large locker room for women in various stages of
undress, who screamed and protested loudly. One woman pepper-sprayed him directly in the
eyes, resulting in a very sore set of peepers for Dekes. He promptly and blindly blundered from
the room, falling on the grass outside.
His partner rushed back, rescuing him and leading him back to their vehicle, driving them
both back to the Federal building. Jillian herself had absconded to a friend’s house, location at
present unknown to the agents, but tracing her cell phone call records, it pointed to a house
of a friend. Agent Dekes and his partner drove to this friend’s house and questioned him. His
partner coyly distracted the man’s attention whilst she pocketed a bottle of pre natal vitamins
from the counter. Outside, she showed it to Dekes, saying that only a pregnant woman would
need to take those, thus determining that Jillian was pregnant. The two partners circled the
house outside, finding Jillian attempting to run from the house unnoticed, but they caught her,
taking her back to the Federal building and questioning her. Agent Sam asked her some probing
queries, getting her to tell him that her husband had been mixed up with the terrorists, forced
to perform the facial surgeries and his life threatened. Her husband, Adam, had handed her the
manila envelope containing vindicating information about the thugs, telling her to meet him on
the steps of the Building, but never made it. He had been killed by the thugs and she knew it.
Meanwhile, back at the lab, the electronics experts were diligently trying to break what they
thought was a terrorist code, using every tool within their means, finally working together to
track down a large storage unit at the Marina. Once there, they used the code they’d figured out
to find all the ingredients needed for making serum nerve gas to kill thousands of people. Using
further logic, they traced down a large black tie event to be held aboard the ship Queen Mary,
which the governor was to attend that night.
All the agents who could be spared and Jillian herself were at the event, Jillian closing watching
for the two remaining terrorists. After some time, she spotted one posing as a waiter, the
other just observing and attending. Both men were chased down and shot, killed because they
resorted to using guns to fire at the agents.
Once all returned to the lab, the boss insisted that the three male agents change out of ”her”
tuxedos even though they had been talking about going out and spending some time in male
bonding. She had to reiterate that they were to change ”now” and they shuffled off halfheartedly
to return them. She arched her eyebrows and shook her head, exclaiming that they really needed
to learn some manners, but smiling after their retreating backs.

Summary: When a former Army Sergeant responsible for hunting down highvalue
targets is found dead, the NCIS team searches for terrorist leaders
suspected of his murder. Meanwhile, Deeks bonds with a person of
interest in the case, making him more determined than ever to track
down the killers.
A newly retired Army Major from a
elite Delta Force unit that tracked high
value targets in the War on Terror is
found tortured and murdered. NCIS:LA
discovers the victim, Richard Booth, was
planning on returning to the Middle East
as a bounty hunter to collect millions of
dollars in reward money. His son Brandon,
who hated his absentee father, is a
suspect until two Afghan thugs enter a
restaurant and try to kill him while Callen and Sam are questioning him; they shoot the thugs
but Brandon disappears.
Meanwhile, Hetty, Deeks, and Kensi question an intelligence informant for the U.S government
with diplomatic immunity, Jafar Khan, who has made millions helping Booth’s unit catch
high value targets; he also happens to be Booth’s brother-in-law. Jafar tells the team Booth was
his partner and he planned to return to Afghanistan after receiving Intel which would yield them
ten million dollars. Jafar claimed his loyalty to Booth but the evidence pointed toward Jafar
hiring the Afghan thugs to torture Booth and kill him for the high value targets Intel.
NCIS is working against the clock knowing they could lose Booth’s killer and the high value
target within a matter of hours. The team’s suspicions are validated when Eric discovers a spectron
seal embedded in a picture Booth mailed to his son Brandon. It contained the location of
the target and the time the Intel was valid. Callen and Sam, with the help of Booth’s Delta Force
unit, go undercover in Afghanistan and catch Jafar using the Intel he received while torturing
Booth but Callen informs Jafar he no longer has immunity in Afghanistan and takes him into
custody.

Summary: When a murdered antiques dealer’s book of top-secret information
goes missing, Hetty sends the NCIS team on a mission to find it.
An antiques dealer named Sebastian Renner was
preparing for a trip out of the country when his chauffeur
came to tell him the limousine was ready. Renner
said that he could bring the car round and walked toward
the front door of the posh mansion set high in the
Hollywood hills of Los Angeles, complete with a breath
taking view of the city. The chauffeur helped Renner into
the long vehicle and began the long drive down the winding
private driveway. In the limo’s back seat, Renner
was going through some papers in his briefcase, speaking
to the chauffeur when he heard a gunshot and saw
bright red blood appear in a spatter on the windshield.
He called the chauffeur’s name frantically, and receiving
no reply, panicked and lunged for the car’s steering
wheel, bringing it to a sudden emergency stop. More
shots were fired through the car’s windows as Renner
scrambled out of the back seat and hit the ground running,
still clutching his expensive leather briefcase containing
those important papers. Another shot brought
Renner down to his knees as he ran back up the hill
toward his mansion, causing him to hit the pavement.
He was dead before his head hit the ground as the two
gunmen got to him, looking through the briefcase and
not finding what they were after, ran toward the mansion.
Once there, they rifled through the big house, trashing it quite thoroughly, then leaving in
a rush.
Hetty Cole, NCIS boss, filled the agents in on what had happened up on the hill, telling them
that Renner seemed to have used the antiques business as a front for his real business of being
an arms seller, and she wasn’t sure what those foreign operatives had been after, but she had
a hunch that she was keeping to herself. She sent agents Sam and Callen to search Renner’s
mansion, to try to figure out what the operatives might have been looking for. Meanwhile, Hetty
99

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
disappeared on a mission of her own, not telling anyone at NCIS headquarters what she was
about. At the Renner mansion, Sam and Callen found the house trashed and while they were in
the front room talking, they heard a commotion upstairs. Suddenly, two large German Shepherd
dogs appeared on the landing overhead and chased the agents to the front gate, which the men
climbed over. Callen pointed out to a frustrated Sam that Sam’s car was still in the mansion’s
driveway; how were they to get back to headquarters?
Hetty walked into a well kept comfortable large nursing home to see her husband, Bertram
Cole, who had suffered a stroke caused by blood loss from two bullet holes, two bullets fired by
Hetty at him in 1981. She had been a Cold War American operative then and had managed to
capture and nearly kill Cole, but had not been able to get the information she needed, wanted,
from Cole at that time. Being a warm hearted woman, she had put Cole into the nursing home
under an assumed name and pretended to be his wife. She had been coming to the facility for
years now, reading to him every week, looking after his needs in hopes of perhaps being able to
gain the needed information from the man, but having no success so far. He was doing as well
as could be hoped by now, but Hetty suspected that he had Alzheimer’s now. Back in the day,
she had been trying to locate Cole’s little black book of foregin operatives and the information it
contained, but had never found it nor managed to convince Cole to give her its’ location, but she
was persistent. Hetty suspected that this was what the operatives had killed Renner for. When
she questioned Cole about the matter on this occasion, he said that she would never find it, that
he could not recall whee it was and for her to just give it up. She left Cole in the care of a nurse
when he became very angry with her and returned to headquarters.
A man’s name was found on Renner’s cell phone which connected him with The Pacific Design
Center, and it was suspected that this man had been Renner’s gay lover. When Sam and Callen
went into the Center, they walked toward an office and overheard a man trying to revive the
same man they went to interrogate. This man was unconscious, having been given something
that was meant to kill him, but it was unsuccessful. Sam and Callen exchanged gunfire with
two men and one man was killed, the other taken into custody and to the hospital where he
survived surgery. The two men proved to be the same foreign operatives who had assassinated
Renner. The surviving gunman told agents that he was after the information book that Renner
was purported to have in his possession, but they hadn’t found it, either.
Hetty sent agents Deek and Bligh back to the Renner mansion to see what they might find. A
tiny Victorian book of the Gospel of Mark was found and investigated at the lab. It was discovered
that Renner had put microdots into this small volume which bore Cold War information that
proved too out of date to be of use to the FBI, so where was the vaunted information?
Hetty asked agents Sam and Callen to go talk to Cole at the nursing home. Maybe they might
be able to get something out of him that Hetty could not. Cole was legally blind and could see
nothing, but sometimes his wits were still sharp and when the agents asked him where the book
was, he told them that he was not about to reveal its location to them, to Hetty or anyone. It
would do them no good to ask. He told them that he had kept that book while he had been a
Cold War spy in Germany and had given it to Renner in exchange for being smuggled into the
US. Hetty had told the agents back at headquarters that she did not think Cole actually knew
where the book was.
Coming up with a last gasp idea, Hetty met up with a German male spy from her Cold War
days in a large open air theater in the hills above the city. She asked him When she asked him
if he knew the book’s location, he said he didn’t know and where was Cole? Hetty told him that
Cole had died long ago on that day in 1981, but the spy said he knew better and that they two
were remnants of a world long past and wasn’t it sad? Hetty smiled wryly and said that she did
know where old man Cole was, but that he would be of no use now to anyone. Some days Cole
did not even know his own name. Nevertheless, the spy pulled out his gun and told Hetty that
he would exchange her for Cole, so why not just give him to him? Hetty said, go ahead, shoot
away, and sat back down to await her fate. He aimed the gun and was going to fire when several
agents appeared on the steps surrounding the amphitheater with guns. The spy was shot in the
hand by Sam as the agents closed in on him and he gave up. He was taken into custody.
Hetty went to visit Bertram Cole that night, opening the door to his dark, quiet room and
found him dead in bed, his bedclothes and pajamas covered in blood. Gasping in shock, she
backed quietly out of the room and went back down the darkened corridor. This episode will be
continued next week.

Summary: Now in a race with other foreign agencies, Hetty and the team continue
their search for the antiques dealer’s missing book containing
worldwide secrets.
Last week, Hetty Cole walked into her
husband, Bertram Cole’s, room at a posh
Los Angeles nursing home only to find
him shot dead and covered in his own
blood, lying across his bed. A nurse,
whom Hetty told Callen and Sam had
been kind to Bertram, was also dead in
his room, lying shot on the floor. Hetty remarked
that the rules had changed since
her inception into the Cold War and she
didn’t understand how two helpless and innocent people could have been murdered like they
had been. The little black book that Bertram had hidden was said to contain important spy information
dating from thirty years back, at least, and it could not be found. Where could it be,
Hetty mused?
Hetty sent Agent Jones to search dead millionaire and supposed antiques dealer Renner’s
posh mansion high atop the Hollywood Hills for that little black book whee she managed to
locate an old paperback book from the 1970s that bore microdots of long past information, not
useful to any one now. Hetty thanked Jones for her diligence and told her to begin making a
copy of the book. It was going to be used to confound and confuse the foreign operatives after
the book. Jones began work at once on the desired product.
Cold War German spy Matthias called Hetty on her cell phone and asked for a meeting. She
met with him, his arm in a sling from a bullet fired into it by Sam the previous week. Nothing
much was decided, just that Matthias really wanted that little black book, if indeed it did exist.
Matthias said that he was cooperating with the CIA in exchange for his freedom if he could hand
over the little black book. What he did not tell her at the time was that he was also dealing with
Russian operatives in exchange for a very large sum of money, that he was double crossing both
the CIA and the Russians and that he was not at all worried about the consequences of his future
actions when they both found out.
At the nursing home, Callen and Bligh found the survelliance cameras had been ripped out
and the security tapes stolen, but a camera had been hidden in something in the hallway and
that tape proved to show two young thought-to-be Russian male operatives. Agent Deeks said
101

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
that he knew the two young men and that they were possibly Russian military intelligence, and
they had obviously been after the much hoped for little black book. Hetty told him to find out
whatever he could about the two men. Meanwhile, agent Jones had found a hidden safe deposit
box key at Renner’s mansion and brought it back to CBI headquarters where she turned it over
to Hetty, who told her to track down the bank to which it might belong. It proved to belong to the
Certified National Bank in downtown Los Angeles.
A sting operation was set up across the street from the Certified National Bank downtown
and agents Sam and Callen, using binoculars, discovered that Matthias was parked across the
street from them. Matthias mentioned that in exchange for the little black book that was hoped
by all to be lying safely in that safe deposit box, he would allow the team to leave unharmed. A
quick discussion among Callen and Sam with Bligh standing outside the car they were sitting
in whipped up an impromptu plan. Bligh asked for some gum from Callen before she left the
car. Sticking it into her mouth, chewing it, she went into the bank and stuck the gum under a
counter and pressing the safe deposit key into it, she milled around a bit in the lobby and left.
Sam and Callen had entered just behind her and after Sam retrieved the key, he told a clerk that
he had power of attorney for Renner and wanted to retrieve anything left in the box. He gave the
name Maruice Tony Greyson, which cleared him to look into the box. The clerk opened the box
and handed it to him, and when she turned to go, she saw Matthias standing at the door of the
room. She asked him if she could help him, but he had seen that the box was empty when Sam
opened it, and turning on his heel, Matthias left the bank empty handed, a grim expression on
his face.
Deeks and Bligh followed a car containing several young Russian operatives who stopped and
got out, aiming their guns at the agents who followed suit. They were standing there threatening
each other when Deeks suggested that the Russians take him hostage. They took Bligh instead
and placed her in a stadium bathroom laced with lasers hooked up to trigger a bomb if they
were broken. Deeks went back to the CBI headquarters, mentally kicking himself all the way,
but when he told Hetty about the abduction, she told him that it was not his fault and that he
had done the very best he could at the time.
A visual computer link was sent to CBI headquarters by the Russians to show the agents
where Bligh was being held captive. Immediately, Hetty told Sam and Callen and Deeks to head
out there, which they did. Sam and Callen searched the stadium for the Russians whilst Deeks
found Bligh in the women’s bathroom of the facility. Bligh immediately told Deeks to shut off the
light, showing him the lasers. Deeks mentioned that this was why Bligh had not moved at all
when the agents viewed the link back at headquarters. She was covered in sweat from the strain
of holding still. Deeks came up with a brilliant idea: using a laser on his own gun that would and
could be used to disrupt the lasers crossing the bathroom. He used it to temporarily erase one so
that Bligh could come closer to the door, but another one was set up too high. He said she would
have to cross this one on her own, which she did by bending and contorting her limber body.
Finally she was nearly free of the red light beams when the last one caught her foot, but Deeks
grabbed her and together they flung themselves from the room just as the bomb went off. They
didn’t sustain any injuries, happily. Meanwhile, agents Sam and Callen had found and shot the
Russians who died at the scene. The Russians had done their best to kill the agents. Callen had
handed over the fake black book that Jones had prepared to one Russian and he had walked off,
but now was lying dead at the agents’ feet.
Matthias called Hetty’s phone for one more meeting, this time in a parking garage near downtown.
The two met and he told her that he had double crossed both the CIA and the Russians in
exchange for his freedom and lots of money. He said that he knew there was no little black book,
never had been. Hetty agreed with him. The two parted after Hetty cautioned him that he would
be hunted for the rest of his days. He did not seem to mind.
Later that day, a musing Hetty returned to the nursing home where Bertram had been murdered
and a scene from the past crossed her mind in which Bertram was telling her that it was all
history now. She remembered that he had given her a book entitled ”The Red Badge of Courage”.
She smiled wryly and went back to CBI headquarters where she retrieved the old book from her
desk and took it to her bank, depositing it in her safe deposit box. She knew that the vaunted spy
information was somewhere in that book, but what did it matter now? The Cold War was long
over and Bertram Cole was dead. The information would lie dormant and unused now because
if it were ever found, that many more deaths would be the result of it getting out. No one but
102

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
Hetty knew where it was now. Let it lie. Matthias was sitting outside the bank where Hetty stood
when Agents Sam, Callen and Bligh walked up to his car and threatened him with divulging
his mistress and his many secret bank accounts to his wife back in Germany if Matthias ever
bothered Hetty again, and perhaps more. Matthias was shocked, surprised, taken aback and
agreed to leave Hetty alone, though it was plain to the agents that he did not like the impromptu
agreement. He drove off and the agents looked satisfied.

Summary: The NCIS team uncovers an experimental Navy tracking system when
a body containing a top-secret residue is stolen from an autopsy room.
Meanwhile, Callen challenges Hetty on the rock wall.
A coroner performing an autopsy finds
a microscopic USN tag inside a body.
When she steps out to call someone, an
intern gets shot down by a pair of men
stealing the body. One of them is hiding
under a sheet on a gurney and sits up
with a silenced gun to shoot. The woman
grabs her cellphone and flees when she
sees the intern in the doorway dead. She
hides under a body bag with a corpse
to evade the chaser. The shooter and his
partner leave.
Meanwhile Hetty(Linda Hunt) slaps
down Callen(Chris O’Donnell) verbally for
grading all the colleagues at NCIS the
same in their performance evaluations: great, perfect, fabulous. She challenges him to a feat
of athleticism to get him to redo the reports and she bluffs and wins. He must evaluate the team
for strengths and weaknesses. Did she really beat a Sherpa to Everest with a broken arm? Deeks
rejects fitness and drinks too much coffee.
The residue on the body is at the center of the mystery. The tag may been involved in surreptitious
Naval activity. The coroner, a young female, was calling Nate at the time of the shooting.
This sounds classified to the NCIS staff, who review the closed circuit surveillance. LAPD hands
over the case and the NCIS crew ponder why a half autopsied body was stolen. The coroner
van taken is found on the street. Deeks and Kensi find a bomb inside, showing planning and
advanced skills on the part of the thieves.
Yusef Afzal, the dead guy, is researched by the NCIS team. Born in America, no Interpol, no
record. The bomb destroys traces of the body snatcher’s identities. They analyze why a dead
body is stolen. Proof of death, Satanaic ritual, the list goes on. They find no answer. Police call
the event a home invasion that killed the dead man. He is a hospital employee, by the way.
Deeks and Kensi arrive at the dead man’s home where neighbours reported a disturbance.
The homicide is a ’cold case” with no suspects. They enter the dwelling to find a woman there.
107

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
She challenges them on their identity and they do the same. She claims to be Yusef’s girlfriend
removing keepsakes, which she offers to them freely. The girlfriend is emotionally upset about
any inference Yusef was a zealot or terrorist.
Deeks and partner conduct an interview. She says she met him at the hospital, where she
works. They were friends for years. Yusuf’s parents fled Beirut but he holds no religious ties or
affiliations. His girlfriend becomes emotional when they suggest he might be a sleeper. She says
she was working the night Yusef died. She says he rocked the babies in the ICU after his shift
with her. Deeks and partner are frustrated nobody seems guilty.
The NCIS crew track the tiny numbers on the microscopic residue tag. The substance is a
crystalline classified number identifier. This tracking system is a Special Ops experiment called
”Overwatch”. Navy officer Rearden briefs Callen and Hanna further. Counter insurgency was
the goal, says a Naval contact they visit. Planet-wide satellite tracing is the objective. The naval
contact says the half life gets adjusted for the length of tracking required. Rearden says the
big problem with the technology is the man hours required to analyze the data dump. Afghan
terrorists are the focus.
Hanna (LL Cool J) points out that the human intel needed to set up the residue tagged targets
is the key. They ask after why Afzal is being tracked but Rearden looks him up and denies
having any tracking program for him. Rearden says there are no tracking targets Stateside but
Nate demands he look up Los Angeles on his satellite tracking program. The screen fills with
targets. Rearden claims it is a glitch but Nate and partner know better. 112 targets show up.
Rearden says the data is encrypted and some has hijacked the Overwatch software. The
Pentagon goes on high alert. The NCIS can’t crack the hacking but says a mosque in Westchester
is filling up with targets. The team finds a rogue private security agent masking an IP address
using the Overwatch software he helped build for the government. The NCIS team made a deal
to get the cracked code.
After a few twists and turns, they break into a hospital lab where nuclear residue materials are
being held. Some have been stolen. Callen and Hanna realize the stolen residue tag was a plan
to frame the ”terrorist” and access the lab. Nuclear medicine has been stolen, enough to make
a dirty bomb. Hetty speaks to the CIA and FBI regarding the materials theft. LAPD is notified
that 4 canisters are gone. The radio tracking of a local hospital shows the team the material is in
Venice.
Callen, Hanna, Deeks and Kensi go on-site to a Venice farmers market, where detection devices
register the material faintly. They narrow in on their target while local cameras follow the
crowd’s movement. Kenzi and Deeks chase a perp, then Kensi gets run knocked off the hood of a
rushing car. She gets up and turns around the car is gone. Callen and Hanna footrace the man
with the bag. Deeks tackles one of the men on a footbridge over a Venice canal. He gets knocked
into the water and almost shot but for Kensi.
Hanna and Callen, chasing the suspect with the bag, overtake him on the Venice board-walk,
where he pulls a woman into a hostage situation with a gun. They capture the perp with the
canisters. The squad determine through cellphone tracking the region of the central planners,
the Blue Ridge mountains. The coroner makes a urn for the dead intern killed during the theft.
Hetty tells Callen the missing canister ”will turn up”.

Summary: When a blog site obtains classified documents, the NCIS team must
find the person behind the theft before they break the decryption code.
A man boarded a tour bus in Hollywood,
and looking about, pulled out
a gun and demanded, in a loud voice,
saying, ”Which of you is Matt Driscoll?”
When no one volunteered that information,
he continued, saying that he would
kill all of them. Sam happened to be
on that bus and the gunman raised his
weapon and aimed it straight at the
agent.
Earlier that day, a phone call came for
Hetty while she and agent Callen were
climbing the FBI headquarters’ built in rock wall. Shimmying down the rope, Hetty took the
call. It was from ”Archangel”, a special agent from the Pentagon. Archangel mentioned something
about classified documents concerning war in Afghanistan. Archangel, known to Hetty
only, was giving Hetty some grief when she piped up and said that she knew all about his girlfriend,Heather
Teasdale, him being married, that Hetty might just let that slip to his boss. He
quit verbally harassing Hetty and when she asked for further details, he told her that a man
named Ray Crossen from Santa Monica had a website about such classified documents and a
blog about electroncis, but it seemed he had not been seen or heard from in several days and
the agents were asked to check it out. Sam and Callen traveled to Santa Monica, gaining access
to Crossen’s apartment and finding him dead in his bathtub. Checking Crossen’s laptop, there
seemed to be a missing file and no encryption key to open it. The file was finally retrieved by
Sam and he asked Eric, the resident expert in electronics to try to open the file. Eric set to work
on the file immediately. He was able to filter and find some of Crossen’s loyal followers on his
website. Sam sent false messages from Crossen via his website to meet with whomever had sent
Crossen the file in order to get the key to open the file. A meeting time and place, a street side
cafe in downtown Los Angeles, was set with this person and agents would be posted around the
place to observe and possibly apprehend the person.
Agents Deeks and Kenzie sat nearby in a car, chatting and keeping their eyes open. A woman
who called herself Jenny approached Sam as he sat at a table at the cafe and asked him if he
109

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
was Crossen to which he replied he was. Jenny looked nervously about and saw a tall man who
identified himself as FBI, coming close to the table where she sat. Sam told him that he had better
be FBI or he would kick him in the FBI balls to which the man just smiled slowly and showed his
card. Sam, feeling boxed in and not sure who might be lurking nearby, hustled Jenny away from
the cafe and retired to a nearby rooftop where he questioned her further. She told Sam that she
was sure that Crossen had been compiling data about the American soldiers who died fighting
in Afghanistan, a sort of online tribute for them but was not sure what the rest of the file might
contain. Crossen had felt that not enough was being done to help and honor the fallen heroes
and their families. A top level security key was needed to access the file and she did not have it.
Jenny had been helping Crossen gather the information he needed and wanted for his website.
Jenny called Matt Driscoll, the CPO in Soda Lake. She told him that some agents from the
FBI wanted to meet with him and ask him questions about Crossen. He agreed to the meeting.
Deeks and Kenzie showed up at Matt’s house but were fired upon by four men. Firing back, they
managed to kill two of the men. They determined that the men were mercenaries, paid soldiers of
fortune. Two of the men escaped by vehicle and left the scene. Sam had Jenny call Driscoll again
but she only got his voice mail. She left a message for him and then Sam arrested her, took her
back to headquarters. Sam called for back up and had the two deceased soldiers removed, then
went after Driscoll.
Where would Driscoll go? Sam decided to go to Jenny’s house and sure enough, he was
there. Driscoll said that he had not killed Crossen and gave Sam the encryption key to the file.
Suddenly, seven mercenaries showed up at Jenny’s house and Sam and Driscoll escaped amidst
flying bullets and yelling men. Sam suddenly had an idea when Driscoll wondered aloud how the
mercenaries knew where he was. The GPS system in Driscoll’s phone and Naval watch, which
the men had bugged, were what the soldiers were using to track him down and when Sam
demanded both, Driscoll handed them over reluctantly only to see Sam stamp them both to bits.
The soldiers turned up yet again and Sam told the leader that he was Driscoll whereupon the
man fired directly into Sam’s chest but Sam was not killed because of the Kevlar vest he was
wearing. The vest had saved Sam’s life but he was badly shaken. He was bruised and needed
help to stand up, his chest ached and stung from the harsh and swift impact of the bullets. He
was very glad to be alive.
The soldiers and Sam and Driscoll were on the tour bus and firing began again, Matt being
killed in the cross fire. Wounded but not dead, Sam called on his cell phone to Eric for help
and backup. The FBI closed in on the tour bus in squeals of tires, blocking the bus with their
vehicles and brought the soldiers down, taking the men to headquarters in handcuffs. Jenny
gave Eric the decryption key and when the file was opened, it turned out to be a tribute to the
fallen American soldiers. Jenny told Sam and Callen that Crossen and Driscoll had had regrets
for having served in Afghanistan in the US Army and wanted to make right some matters they
had seen and done during their service there, hence the file.

Summary: In order for NCIS to track down the terrorist group responsible for numerous
bombings worldwide, Sam must go undercover inside a federal
prison.
In the Ochoco Federal Prison, a Muslim
group surrounded a young black man
named Mo who was working in the prison
kitchen and began to beat him in, an initiation
ritual meant to welcome him into
the gang. Falling to the floor under their
blows, the young man curled into the fetal
position, used his arms and legs to
block the blows as best he could, taking
punches in the face as well. Suddenly,
the leader, Abdul Mombasa, motioned for the beaters to cease and told the young man that
he was welcome to his new family and that he would be well taken care of financially as well, not
wanting for anything ever again. They held the man up from the floor and gave him hugs and
reassurances.
Mo was seen by the guards and taken to the prison’s infirmary where he made a call to Sam,
listed as next of kin, telling Sam that he had had no choice to not join the gang. Sam was at
NCIS headquarters when the call came and after he hung up, he turned to his colleagues and
said that it was an emergency and he had to go visit his friend. He was enlisted by Hetty to pose
as a prison inmate and infirmary worker in order to find out what Abdul was planning since it
was known to the NCIS that he was part of a very dangerous terrorist organization. Hetty ordered
Eric to create prison identification documents made for Sam going back at least ten years and to
create a fearsome reputation for him as well.
At a local cemetery, agent Callen walked to his sister’s grave and kneeling down, placed flowers
upon it. He saw an old toy lead soldier on the grave and picked it up, examining it closely. Who
might have placed it there? He had set up a hidden camera on a nearby tree to catch any visitors
to his sister’s grave and two were found on the tape: one was a man wearing a hoodie that Callen
had chased in a dream. Callen wanted to meet the man. As for the toy soldier, Callen remembered
that he had been given one as a child by an older man. He showed Hetty the toy and she said
that she had played with such as a child herself.
111

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
Sam told Hetty that Mo shouldn’t be in the prison alone to which she replied that he was not.
She said that Nate was inside posing as a prison psychologist and alert to Mo’s concerns. Hetty
gave resident electronics expert Eric a code to access and manipulate the prison cameras. Hetty
told Sam that Abdul’s brother was Sadat Habassah, head of a very dangerous international
terrorist group headquartered in Yemen, and had access to bank accounts containing twenty
million dollars. One of the terrorist cells was located in West Hollywood.
Kenzie and Deeks, posing as brother Edward and sister Jennifer, were sent to investigate a
dance studio that posed as a front for the West Hollywood terrorist cel. Kenzie and Deeks talked
to the dance instructor on the pretext of signing up for dance lessons when Kenzie asked to use
the bathroom. Told that it was upstairs, she climbed to the second floor and found the office,
taking pictures of documents there and logging into a computer, allowing Eric and his assistant
to access the terrorist records. Eric found that there was a warehouse located in North Hollywood
that might contain vans the group used. Hetty sent Kenzie and Deeks to check it out.
In the prison, prisoner Sam was taken to his cell and ran into the Muslim gang where he
pretended to be Muslim, getting to know Abdul and his henchmen. Sam was sent to work in the
prison infirmary where he secretly talked to Mo who was still in the infirmary, telling him that
he was there to help and protect him. Nate talked to Sam and afterward, called Hetty, telling her
that Sam was too close to the gang, that he was in for big trouble. Hetty said not to worry.
At the North Hollywood warehouse complex, Kenzie and Deeks found their way into the warehouse,
finding a silver van like the one they were looking for. Two men were there and began to
fire on the pair who killed them. Opening the van’s doors, the agents found a large amount of
ammonium nitrate, part of a blasting cap and wires used for a bomb. They called Hetty and told
her what they had found. It was decided that the bomb had not been intended for terrorism but
for blowing a hole in the prison wall. Hetty decided that Abdul was planning a prison break and
returning to Yemen, his brother and the terrorist group and that Sam would have to go with him
in order to discover what the group was planning. Sam was informed of this. Nate told Abdul
that he was being transferred and to come wth him. The two went down the hall where Abdul
pulled Nate aside and stabbed him, leaving him in a puddle of blood on the floor. Abdul ran to
the infirmary.
Chatter from Yemen was talking about a big prison break in Los Angeles which supported
what Hetty was thinking. Sam got into a scuffle with two white prisoners and the Muslim gang
helped him. When Abdul tried to recruit him for the prison break, Sam declined but later in the
prison yard, decided to join them, telling Abdul that he could get him out today since Sam had
purportedly been planning a prison break to escape himself.. Sam was in the infirmary working
when Mo staggered in, blood pouring from his abdoman purportedly from a stab wound, but it
was fake. Sam told a guard to call for an ambulance, Mo had to get to a hospital now! The guard
did so and Sam and another man joined them in taking Mo to the dock where the ambulance
would meet them. Abdul was hiding behind a door there and when the ambulance pulled up,
he helped to knock out the two attendants and hide them He changed clothes and got into the
ambulance with Sam, Mo and one other prisoner. Later, when the men were lodged in a nearby
motel, Sam wearing a wire, Abdul walked up to Sam and told him he had been told that an NCIS
agent was amongst them, but he didn’t think it was Sam. Abdul said he was going home and left
the motel. Sam walked into the motel room, finding finding prisoner Saeed dead of a stab wound
and surrounded by blood. Was Mo still alive? Sam rushed into the bathroom, calling the young
man’s name, only to find Mo suspended by his arms, also dead. Sam held the boy in his arms
and cried, then called Hetty and told her the news. She sympathized with Sam and told him to
follow through with his mission, that that was the way it had to be. He would have to go all the
way to Yemen and infiltrate the terrorist group to bring them down, that he could not protect
everyone.
Back at NCIS headquarters, a tired Hetty placed a call to agent Callen, only getting his voicemail.
She said, in the message, that she had not heard from him in forty eight hours and that it
was time to check in.

saying he turned down one last job, they are going too far. Stop him, he asks, before dying. Callen

Camp Pendleton is the source of the urban legend of the California Gold taxi service. Marines
and cops are up to something. Sam and Callen have been undercover as corrupt cops to get in on
the action. Some kind of weird escort service and secret missions are happening. Paul’s ex police
partner Greer is probably giving the orders. The ex partner will be grabbed as they search her
house. Hanna and Callen exchange banter even though the boots are killing him. The woman’s
partner says she never clocked in. The motorcycle cop had to pull a double shift.

Deaks. The bloodstains show someone escaped the gunfight and the house wounded. Paul Bean
and Jennifer Greer crossed paths but where? The NCIS group analyze the spendig patterns. Bare

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
to Paul that this was his last chance to do the job or he’d get killed. Bartender says they threw
him out. The security cameras are just deterrents, they don’t work.
Hanna canvasses the Greer woman’s old house in Van Nuys before her mother went in the
home. They find her hiding in the foreclosed house, spitting gunfire and Hanna arrests her. She
knows them as cops from the station house. She says the boots always looked funny on Hanna.
Under questioning Jennifer Greer says Bean wasn’t anything to her. Just a man and a woman
with guns drifting from case to case. The NCIS team now have to look for the overgrown frat boy
with a gold watch and a bully vibe.
Greer says there was a job with military hardware Paul turned down. Hanna figures out that
Greer and Paul were seeing each other. Greer says after the accident Paul changed and started
the taxi service. She said she joined because she couldn’t sell the house. So Callen tells Greer to
set the word out oficers Exley and Powell will do the job.

hijack the truck, shooting Hanna and blowing everything up.
Hanna says the candy fruit found in the abandoned Rover look like jihadist snacks. Hetty says
that the Department of Energy experience show that one of the nuclear weapons got stolen. The
Pentagon code is ”empty quiver”. The yield has five times the nuclear power of Hiroshima. They
must recover the warhead. The Pan Islamic brotherhood releases a video to the White House with
an abused looking woman who says she is a nuclear physicist and they are forcing her to arm it.
”Judgement Day has arrived. In three hours, 6:30 am, the American people will know fear. ”
Hanna says Marcetti’s French men action profile can’t jive with wasabi jihadists. They profile
the man some more and find his hideout. The team finds a map with a clearly marked radius of
detonation around downtown Los Angeles. The NCIS squad look for a false positive way for the
thieves to hide the radioactive weapon from scanners. Hetty says the blame game has already
started and people want to know why two NCIS staff couldn’t break the attack down.
But Callen won’t tell Hetty about the map because she’d have to tell the Pentagon. He also
says people with Marcetti’s skill don’t leave their mission maps lying around. Their emergency
evacuation is the goal to get something in Los Angeles downtown. They find a Justin Marcetti
real estate purchase of a paint factory with uranium in it enough buzz to keep the radioactive
detection of the bomb down. Hetty insists she must be told everything and trusted, but then the
start time of the threat makes them think.
Greer says the woman in the video was asking Paul to do a job and gave him stock tips about
putting his money in gold and silver. They analyze how a stock analyst and a nuclear scientist
could be involved. Then they find her background is linked to Marcetti’s. Hetty Sam and Callen
realize a run on the stock market in imminent. With knowledge of the nuclear fear from the
online video, they can make trillions while wrecking the businesses everywhere. Hetty says use
of lethal force is authorized. They attack the factory, Kenzi sharpshooting and Callen, Deaks and
Hanna going in on the ground.
The NCIS crew snipe their way through the factory, shooting the French mercenaries one
by one. The truck gets away but Kenzi shoots it to death. Deaks falls for the woman’s act and
Marcetti pulls a gun on him. Deaks tricks him saying the safety is off and grabs the gun. The NCIS
tech stops the video by turning off the Internet. They get the nukes and find out an intelligence
officer at Camp Pendleton was feeding the group the nuclear ordnance travel intel. Greer gets

Summary: After Deeks is shot during a visit to a convenience store, the NCIS
team investigates whether robbery was the real motive or if someone
was aiming to harm Deeks.
Deaks is running on the beach and
things are looking good, then hits his
usual morning coffee stop at a Culver
Blvd. convenience store. The owner at the
register does not respond to his jokes
and the man at the register has a gun.
Deaks fakes a question then takes the
man down. Then the store owner says
look out and a second man comes from
the rear of the liquor store. Two shots.
When Hanna and Callen get to the store, Det. Jeff Versey of LAPD hands them the case and
walks off. Kenzi asks Hetty is she can go to the hospital.
NCIS tracks the footage from security cameras. Hanna is angry at Deaks for doing the same
thing every day. Callen says Deaks was trained as an LAPD cop not an agent. Kenzi asks for
his next of kin, and Hetty and Callen don’t know either. Hanna and Kenzi are guilty of humble
brags. Hanna and Callen arrive at the medical center, where Eric calls and says the killers are
right there too driving up in the green Mustang.
They shoot out and the shooter goes running and the driver gets shot. Carlos Guzman and
Santo Perez are the gunmen. Hanna says they are guns for hire. Hetty gives Nell a red file and
says for her to research the parolee discreetly. The phones used for these gangbanger guys are
burned phones bought for disposable use. Hanna says he wants to go everywhere there has been
a James Bond movie. Callen points out outer space from Moonraker. Hanna also tells Callen they
didn’t cry when he was shot. Callen says ”Where is the love/”.
The liquor store shooting was with a 22, a girl’s gun. The guns from the hospital parking lot
are bigger. The drivers must have gunned up. Callen and Hanna get Santo when Eric finds him
in a bowling alley. Eric does it by searching his picture in social media. Hanna says next stop
Chino. But Versey picked a fistfight with Deaks after Deaks informed on him with Internal Affairs
years ago. Callen and Hanna stop by LAPD. Versey says he was just coming to see them at NCIS.

banging on his door checking in his sobriety. Versey considers Deaks his sponsor. He says Deaks

Deaks was a good cop there are so many names to look at. Eric runs a check on the burnphones
and find one active. They get Eric to run backstopping on a fake attorney profile.
Deaks says he thinks Kenzi got shot somewhere embarassing. Deaks watches Kenzi eat his
jello. Kenzi says she never has been shot. NCIS faxed over the list of past busts from Deaks’
LAPD experience. Callen sees Nell talking to Hetty but Hetty won’t spill. Kenzi privately confronts
how connected to Deaks she really is.
Kenzi says Edwardo Cruz but Deaks realizes his mistakes of using the same routine every
day. Meanwhile Callen sets up a trap pretending to be Deaks’ attorney. He calls the burn phone
and they setup a meet at a downtown warehouse. Hanna and a team of snipers stand ready in
the loft. They wait but nobody comes.
Deaks says Gordon John Brendell is the man he shot when he was 11 years old. This is the
man Hetty is having Nell research. Nell and Kenzi are shocked. But at the same time Callen and
Hanna are waiting, Deaks figures out it’s a trap. But after Kenzi leaves, he realizes the rest of
the team is too good to get caught in a routine and they are the target. He’s the weak link. That’s
why the second shot didn’t kill him in the liquor store. But that means Kenzi, his partner, is the
target, and the downtown meet is a lure to get Callen and Hanna out of bounds.
Kenzi gets into the hospital elevator just as Hanna and Callen jump in the car downton and
speed toward Santa Monica. When Kenzi goes outside to get signal, Hanna blurts out about the
trap just as a van pulls up. Two men get the drop on Kenzi but she kicks back hard and downs
them. Then the driver comes around leveling a gun at her. She hasn’t had time to draw her
weapon.
Shots flatten him in the chest, and Kenzi turns to see a staggering bloodstained Deaks, shooting
from the hospital doorway. Hanna and Callen drive up seconds later, making it from downtown
Los Anges to Santa Monica in about 45 seconds. NCIS identifies the driver as a Chechen
terrorist was targeting Kenzi to find some wife and child relocations to kill them. He dies saying
”got you all”.
At NCIS HQ, the team gets ready to shower Deaks in procedure training. They identify the
killer as a threat from the past pursuing underground escapees. Nell asks Kenzi if she will tell
them about the attack. but Kenzi says 3 days after she relocated them they vanished. Nell returns
the file, and Hetty sits by Deaks in the hospital and eats his jello. Deaks’ father was paroled in
1992 and died in 1998. Deaks shot him because he was abusive. Deaks asks who to put as next
of kin. She says ”Lang, Henrietta.”.

Summary: When the team is assigned to rescue the son of a Prince and capturing
the leader of a terrorist group, Nate rejoins his team in Yemen to give
them a hand.
Opening shot is of a young boy running
through the streets of an Arab country,
and the man who gets out of the car
gives a gun to Sam Hanna and demands
he shoot the boy. It’s Addaba, the man
who killed Mo after the NCIS LA team
broke him out of prison. Hetty had said
the day would come when Sam would get
the closure he needed.
Sam is caught trying to spy on Deaks
after his shooting for not following protocol and varying his routine. Kenzi calls Deaks on her
phone and it rings in Hanna’s bag. But Hanna is really still responsible for Mo’s death. Hetty
says the contact has been made, the man is in Sunaa in Addaba and he wants the Muslim
version of Sam Hanna to report for his future with the religious left. Hanna emails back he’s
ready. Abdul is the key to Sadat, his Al Quaida brethren.
A Saudi prince’s 7 year old boy has been kidnapped in the Middle East. This is the message
Addaba wants sent. Hetty thinks Addaba’s brother is the keymaster. When they get their marching
orders to Yemen from NCIS, Hetty contacts Director Vance (of NCIS) and says the contact
they need in in the Middle East is needed. Hanna goes to the meet but the man in the motel
room is dead.
A plane ticket in Hamal’s name is ready. Callen gears up for an op in the Middle East, while
Kenzi and Deaks are told to find is Hanna’s cover has been blown. Sam is known as Hakeem
to the Middle Eastern terrorist group. Hetty cautions Sam to flee if he whiffs his cover has been
blown. Hetty tells Callen that Ray Haines is a textile buyer shopping abroad. Hetty tells Callen
that Hanna needs to be an operative not a lone ranger. And she makes her regular request for a
souvenir.
Addaba meets Sam and conducts him to the boy they’ve kidnapped. Callen seens an old friend
there, Hetty’s asset in Yemen. This is the mission she sent Nate on episodes earlier. He says since
Abdul thinks he is dead he has to hide all the time. Nate was the prison guard shot dead in the
Los Angeles fake prison escape where Addaba was with Sam in jail. Meanwhile Hakeem is tested
and assesses Abdul’s test. Abdul moves Sam before Callen can track him. Callen steals a car on
119

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
a Yemen street and chases after them. He finds them at Abdul’s camp and notifies Hetty. Sam is
told by Abdul that his brother is with him wherever he is.
But Kenzi and Deaks find the motel night manager where the dead man stayed in Los Angeles.
The man produced the fake papers for ”Hakeem” (Sam Hanna). They see him leaving the motel
with a bandage and he flees, the parking lot turns into a gunfight. His passport says he is Sadat,
the brother supposedly running things in Yemen. Kenzi and Deaks realize if this is the brother of
the terrorist in Yemen, and that Sam’s new ”brother” is doing the ransom, then Abdul is the key
man in the organization. At the same time, Nell decodes his email and finds that Nate’s identity
has been blown.
Abdul coyly puts the boy ostage in Sam’s charge. Callen is told to back down because the
target is still Abdul Addaba, but he refuses to leave Yemen with the boy still kidnapped. Hetty
realizes that with Nate’s cover blown, then Sam is known to Abdul as an NCIS officer. She
telephones to NCIS Director Leon Vance for authority to act. Abdul makes Sam for a cop, asking
which agency he works for. Abdul says he knows the agency. Hetty states that an NCIS operative
is much more valuable a hostage. Callen rushes in before Abdul puts Sam against a wall, before
can make the coup de grace on the Saudi boy. In the shootout Callen tosses Hanna a weapon.
Then they set up the black box.
Callen tells Eric that he needs authority from Hetty (emphasis) now. Hanna uses the laser kit
to paint the target on the fleeing Abdul in a jeep. Callen relays the authority to target the missle
onto Abdul and his jeep explodes. A airsrtike drone from above fired the missile. Callen, Nate and
Hanna see a smiling sheikh in a Mercedes limo come to collect his son and nod thanks to the
NCIS crew. But Callen knows Hanna hesitated to fire, because he wanted some accountability
for Addaba, not just payback for Mo. For Hanna, the cost of the smiling boy reunited with his
father was Mo’s life.

Production Code: 219
Summary: NCIS must determine if a Venezuelan politician is in imminent danger
of being assassinated. It all hinges on a Navy Intelligence Commander
who has gone missing.
Two men meet on a Malibu Pier,
and exchange envelopes. They warily
look around but are being photographed
covertly. One of them doesn’t make it
back to the truck alive. The other man
is identified by the photos emailed to
the NCIS Los Angeles email address. He’s
an intelligence officer with the Navy. The
state department can’t get a handle on it.
The details passed are of Valenzuela President
Medina’s visit to the United States.
Hetty flags Deaks for defense preparation classes. She makes Kenzi his close personal defense
officer. The team give Deaks a hard time because they think his LAPD liaision duty makes him
a slacker beside them. Their advanced knowledge of tactics and terms leaves Deaks out in the
cold on missions. Deaks prefers disguises.
But the man who passed an envelope to the man on the pier in Santa Monica is dead of garrote
neck slicing. How did he know the victim? They identify the body as belonging to a daily ”back of
the truck” day laborer. The truck was driven by a woman. She used the laborer to pretend to be
the Naval officer’s source. The missing Navy man is a straight arrow, no chance of going rogue.
The Naval honcho meets them at the boat shed. He shows them the naval assessments of
the man named Medina, a rising Venezuela politician. Callen realizes the intel about Medina was
being ignored. One of the tipoffs was a exploratory software that analyzes lifelong oral speeches
and statements to flag irrelevancies and variables in motivation and character. Medina’s broad
soapbox addresses flunk this test. Nell shows off her knowledge of the software used but the
navy official pulls rank on her. Callen realizes the boss didn’t believe the intel that Medina was
a dangerous threat to the United State foreign policy. Nell shows Callen and Sam speeches by
Medina using powerful rhetoric. Iranian nuclear arms and changes in Southern hemispheres of
power can change if Medina is elected. His words point to an ambitious agenda that does not
favor the United States policy.

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
Sam and Callen question the dead man’s niece, whose family are all from Valenzuela. They
find the hotel setup with the Medina itinerary and a gun waiting. The woman paid for the hotel
in cash for a month ahead of time. The NCIS officers realize that if the missing Naval officer is
being used then only his daughter could be the reason, and they fake a kidnapping to keep her
at the shed. They track his calls making sure they are all right to a place in the valley where the
kidnappers have him stashed. They crash the house and find him drugged and under guard.
The whole thing was a setup. Callen and Sam realize the target is Medina to grow anti-
American sentiment abroad. Even if Medina is shot, the saboteurs of his visit accomplish something
against the West. The man behind it all was in the Venezuelan army with Medina. The dark
haired woman was his mistress. They were going to put the Navy man in the hotel suite and
frame him for the Medina murder. He fell for Helen and never saw the trap coming.
They track Medina’s route through Los Angeles and bring the Navy man with them. Kenzi
cruises in a black dress, while Sam is a waiter. Callen wears a maroon jacket, playing facilities
host, and Deaks pretends to be a guest. When Medina enters, his cortege follows. The NCIS team
watch to see which of these are startled to see the Navy man there. Medina starts his speech.
One man flees when he sees the Navy man there instead of drugged at the safe house, and
Sam plows into him. Callen shadows another man, who looks over his shoulder and then starts
running. Helen, the woman, comes and goes in a red dress. Kenzi chases her and tackles her
into a fountain, where Helen pulls a gun, except Deaks has come from nowhere and disarms
her. All the plotters are arrested. Hetty tells Medina’s people there was a problem with smuggling
things through customs.
It’s time for Hetty’s test of Deaks’ field skills, with Kenzi weighing in. They go to the indoor
firing range, where Deaks accurately shoots threat targets that pop up. He then shoots Hetty’s
target when it pops up, a jaw-dropping moment. Hetty realizes Deaks’ field skills are very solid
and his supposed inability is part of his disguise. She calls him a smartass.

Dunn works at an auction house. She says she changed provenances, falsified insurance claims,

her if she wants a drink and she says she saw him kill his last partner. Deaks look significantly
at Hetty. Callen and Hanna are surveilling the Malibu house when they see two cars go up
the private hill. Eric looks up the license plates the cars belong to former crime job associates of
King’s. But inside the house Miss Dunn is brought in, where Kenzi is. The NCIS LA office watches
using Kenzi’s personal video recorder.
The redhead is delivered by two ex-associates known for working with King. Patricia Dunn
was handed over to LAPD but somehow got free. Callen and Hanna speculate about whether
Kenzi is cool but Deaks says the mission is blown. King tells the people by the pool with Kenzi to
go inside he’ll explain everything. He dials a code on his phone and grabs Kenzi and pushes her
into the water. The NCIS crew see the screens go black and Callen says ”abort mission”.
Callen and Hanna jump up n the Malibu Hills and Deaks watches in horror as the bomb blows
the place sky high. They find bodies in the house but not Kenzi’s or King’s. Nell says there are fire
roads tracing back down the hill out of view. Kenzi is missing with a killer without backup. The
Chinese dignitary had a connection to stole defense technology and China is growing a Stealth
program.

deep fried. But he finds an email from a Chinese official who was deported. The forensic review
of the Chinese dignitary’s property is scheduled soon, this is what must go out of the country.

says.
At the military depot, at night Kenzi and King get the jade statue. King puts it in his backpack.
Inside the depot, Callen and Hanna appear and pull guns on King and Kenzi. Callen says ”Better
now Kenz’ and King says ”oh man” realizing he’s been tricked. King hits Kenzi in the jaw, and
Kenzi says ”Will one of you shoot this guy”. Deaks comes from behind and decks King, saying
”that’s for hitting my partner”.
The government found the hidden intel and are arresting the Arlington stealth leak. Mr. Tan’s
belongings will be returned with doctored technology, and Hetty tells them all to go home. Callen
pops for dinner, and Hanna starts talking truffles and bone-in steaks. Callen says the ground
rules are no fancy fungi, no eggs from anything other than chicken, and no scotch older than
they are. Hanna says he can still order a seafood tower. Deaks ask Kenzi if she is all right, she
says yes and leaves. Later Deaks shows up at Kenzi’s place with burgers and beers for him and a
smoothie for her, and Kenzi grabs the beer. They sit on the sofa to watch ”America’s Top Model”.

and checked the camera. Jeff Kinto is the hacker. They find he has a booth at the Saugus swap
meet the next day.
Deaks is crestfallen to see that The ”Poker Dogs” painting is only ten dollars. Kenzi wants to
know how much he paid for it. Callen and Hanna track the man and Kenzi and Deaks track the

Ray. Outside the courthouse the men say goodbye. The
NCIS LA squad fakes a drive by shooting. This is on the
news and they smuggle him to the airport. This character

The NCIS boathouse is rocked with the news that Ray
is missing. But the man disappears after the drop him in the airport. Deaks tells Kenzi Ray was
there for him when he was a kid, and gave him the gun he shot his father with before he would
have killed them. The other NCIS staff think Deaks might be too close to the case to work it right.

because he is wanted by many criminal factions for being a known informant. His life is in danger
on the street. They isolate the photos of the attackers near the abandoned car and identify the
gang. But Deaks says they never informed against that gang or had any cases against them.

shows up, and she looks unhappy. Jut then Ray walks up, and Kenzi and Max chase him. Deaks

problem. Deaks plans a trap.

flaming in a Malibu restaurant. Nell and
Eric show the restaurant video of the
burning man. He burned because it was
a chemical burn. The radio pharmaceuticals
stolen from the NCIS hospital case
has residue found on the burnt man.
The fourth canister was missing and they
may have found it. The video reveals he
burns up and water doesn’t help. Forensics

Investigations by Nell and Eric show the dead man frequented a Santa Monica bar called The
Prince O’Wales. Hanna and Callen check it out but the bartender thinks the dead man was a
Navy SEAL. Deaks finds the car with a Hide-a-Key and finds bomb making explosives in the
trunk. The dead man is identified as Dundas, a man posing as a ex-Navy Seal who really is living
on proceeds from a construction accident.
Hetty has been arguing with Director Vance on the phone when Callen comes looking for him.
Hetty asks to speak to Deaks alone. Hetty talks to him about the future and hands him a folder
with his resignation for the police force. Deaks gets offered a permanent NCIS job but isn’t ready
to take it. His identity as a LAPD officer is in question but Hetty says she has signed and dated
it so whenever he feels ready to commit he can.
Hanna has a solo sailboat trip coming up. Hetty avoids Callen but talks to Hanna about being
Callen’s anchor. The bartender at the Prince O”Wales fakes them out about the security tapes
but Hanna tracks readioactivty where Dundad sat at thebar the last night. The bartender at the
boatshed interrogation says only Star the waitress knew Dundas the dead poseur.
Hetty gives Kenzi a silver hair ornament that doubls as a stiletto weapon. Hetty says Kenzi is
both feminine and deadly, but perhaps too much of both. Kenzi is puzzled when Hetty drops a
hint that the time may come when she will want to hang up her agent shoes. Kenzi protests the
guys she meets usually give up on her but Hetty tells her she may have to open her eyes and see
the one right under her nose.

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
Kenzi and Deaks interview the waitress star, who is pretty and ask if Deaks if with Kenzi.
Deaks hints they are friends with privileges but Kenzi says no. When Star says she doesn’t have
a boyfriend, Deaks say that’s a crime and tries to give Star his number but Kenzi grabs the paper
and says to Star she’s doing it for her own security. Star says Dundas was a loner but came into
some money recently on a big assignment. The NCIS team fear a dirty bomb in the making.
Nell data mines the Prince O’Wales receipts and find a connection between Dundas and a
anarchist busted a few times doing war rally protests. Callen and Hanna trail the man to his
motorhome. They think it is abandoned, but then the man drives away and wrecks it a thousand
yards from where they are standing. At the boatshed, Callen pushes the anarchist’s paranoia and
fear of their spook devices, then surgically asks who the instigator of the Dundas’ assignment,
the new bomb project is.
They set the met. The proxy comes to the bar. Hanna answers all of the speakerphone questions
but then the proxy leaves and runs off. Deaks and Hanna catch him. Eric couldn’t trace the
phone fast enough. The blogger Shepherd evades their tracking. But the proxy, Drew Stetson, is
the courier who earns a life in prison with the bomb. Shepherd puts a call to arms on his blog
about government. The NCIS focus on target for the bomb.
Callen finally gets face time with Hetty. Hetty says being in charge sucks because everybody
is always looking to you. The true test of a commander is when he is as scared as anybody else,
you find the strength to act. Callen takes this to heart.
Hanna posits the target is a Pershing Square rally in downtown Los Angeles. Deaks brings
his bomb sniffer dog, a mangy mutt that Hanna disrespects. After canvassing the area, Hanna
checks a guitar case and Kenzi sees a lone backpack. Deaks and the dog sniff up on a maintenance
worker, whom Deaks instantly knows is Shepherd. The man runs off as Deaks confirms
the device planted in the trash. Kenzi trips him and catches him.
People run everywhere as the NCIS sound the alarm and police run the crowds away. Callen
and Hanna are about to reach in the trash can when Hanna sees the bomb squad and holds
Hanna back. He says that the bomb squad should retrieve the bomb and disarm it and Hanna
agrees they shouldn’t suit up for nothing on such a hot day.
They all realize that Hetty has been giving them hints she won’t be around and they rush
back to the boatshed. A new officer says that she is now in charge and that Hetty is gone. Callen
ignores the new boss and demands Nell get the Director Vance on the phone. The new general
tells them that Vance will be giving them a briefing via televideo shortly and could she see Callen
in her office when they are through?
Meanwhile Hetty is seen coming up the subway steps of an East German or Western European
town where German or Czechoslovakian speaking men try to run up behind her. Hetty sense
them and calmly flicks her wrist, and a gun pops into her hand. The men see this and flee, and
Hetty continues with her umbrella on the way.

Summary: Callen and the rest of the NCIS team refuse to accept Hetty’s sudden
resignation without an explanation. They start their own investigation
to find out why she’s disappeared, hoping they can track her down.
In Murmansk, Hetty stalks a criminal
lair and walks in. She says she has
a message for Kmescu. There is a hush.
They check her for weapons and then
she shoots the low level goons dead. In
the morning the serious players come
home and she requests again to be taken
to Kmezcu. She says her message must
come only to the head of the family. In
Los Angeles, Callen Hanna Deaks and
Kenzi continue to resist the command of
Hetty’s replacement. Callen in particular
does not sense a military authority in her.
She says on the phone to someone she
does have authority but is not convincing. Callen sees her in the shooting range and she can
barely hit the paper figure. He assesses her as not much of a field operative.
Kenzi wonders if ambitious pushed Hetty out. Agent Hunter has been on a classified assignnent
to Murmansk and Warsau off the grid for two to three years. Callen approached Hunter in
her office where they exchange commonplace chat in Italian, Russian, Polish, Czechoslovakian,
French, Danish, Czerbian, and then Hunter starts speaking a dialect he doesn’t know.
Callen and Hanna leave to go case one of Hetty’s three houses. Hunter can’t get Callen or
Hanna to stay for a meeting. Callen says he shadowed Hetty home a dozen times and she never
sleeps in the same place. They find four men in suits patrolling the grounds. Callen pretends
he is a neighbor and they say they are police, an when Callen asks for identification they start
shooting.
The resulting gunfight gets all the men dead. Hetty’s vintage Jaguar gets shot up in the mess.
Deaks and Kenzi show up and shake their heads at the shot up Jag. They explore the house
and get a creepy feeling. They find Hetty’s computer with her files set to start a virus if they are
131

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
opened. They take the laptop back to the lab, where an angry Director Vance has arrived and
tells them all to go into the Ops room. Vance says he did not want Hetty to retire. Vance says
Hetty was tired and Callen says he doesn’t believe that. Vance asks Eric and Nell if they did any
personal research for her. Callen asks Nell to looks for Hetty’s files and Vance suggests the folder
name. Agent Hunter asks for the file of the encoded file.
The code name ”Operation Kmescu” is mentioned and both Vance and Hunter walk out of the
room. The four men are identified as a team of professional ex-militia working as freelancers.
Callen and Hanna bring in the nerd who acted as talent broker. Bernie Fisher booked the four
operatives in Hetty’s home. Vance finds the team researching what alias Hetty used to go undercover.
Vance ays she in in Europe where the Kmesci is. Vance enables Nell with top secret
clearance and Vance puts his password into the computer to loosen up Hetty’s files.
But Agent Hunter won’t tell Callen who Kmescu is.
The coordinator for the mercenaries is a nerd and he sweats out a confession.
He was hired to get a computer file, the one Hetty put a password virus on. Grigor Kmescu is
in Los Angeles, according to the pro team broker. Callen, Kenzi and the rest are shocked. This
is what Hetty was looking for and she is in Europe! Vance orders Kmescu brought in and tells
Callen that he, Vance, will personally do the questioning.
Callen arranges a meet with Kmescu and a kid tells him to go on the roof. He pretends to hand
over the file. He says they can handle the woman but Kmescu says they already have her. Hanna
trails Callen to the new meet. Deaks and Kenzi find the sniper, but there is a second shooter on
Grigor, and they disable him just after Kmescu discovers the file is fake.
But Callen and Hanna react by shooting Kmescu dead. In Ops, Eric acknowledges that vance
and Hunter have watched via satellite and know already. Nell tracks Hetty to Prague where she
used her own credit cards and didn’t cover her trail. She travels as Gloria Edwards.
Callen arrives in time to overhear and asks Vance how long he has known Hetty was in Prague.
Callen demands to be in on the team in Prague and Vance emphatically denies his going. Callen
orders a ticket on the next flight. He speaks Czech and Romanian, why can’t he go? Vance says
it’s all about him. The Kmescu family wants Callen dead. Vance says Callen will absolutely not
be part of the team in Prague.
Dbrashen Varoselic was trying to warn Callen. There is a Romany family feud. Vance finally
says that Hunter is a linguist and her skills helped identify that Operation Kmescu is about
Callen himself, his family. Callen says he doesn’t have a family this must be a mistake. Vance
says yes it must be a mistake and Hetty will sort it out. Callen realizes Hetty is risking her life to
save him.
Callen gives up his gun and badge and walks out. Hanna does the same, hesitating as he gives
up his weapon and his career as an ex-SEAL Kenzi likewise folds her badge and gun and leaves.
Deaks (who is still a LAPD officer) says he would if he could. Vance nods and says they have no
idea where to start looking, but Nell confesses she uploded all the data onto their cellphones.
Vance tells Agent Hunter to find them before they all get killed.
In Prague, Hanna keeps fiddling with his black market gun. Deaks and Kenzi are annoyed.
They rush the gang house and find the girl tied up in the closet. Callen speaks Romanian to her
and finds out she has been taken to the Kmescu crime family in Romania.
Hetty is brought to the crime family’s villa by the shore. Hetty says she has a message to
deliver to the head of the family. The woman, about fifty, steps forward and says her real name is
Hetty or Edwards but even those aren’t real. Hetty hands the woman a computer gadget, which
she gives to one of the men to put on the computer.
Meanwhile Nell detects that Hetty ordered some documents and erased all trace of them.
Vance comes up while she is reviewing the file. There is something about a distinguishing mark
in Hetty’s file. Nell sees something else and Vance prevents her from saying it out loud.

regroup.
Meanwhile at NCIS HQ in Los Angeles,
Vance directs the computer wizards
to find out what is going on, although
they use off-the radar code so it it not a
official order. They find another file that
Hetty had on the Cmescus, although they thought she dumped the main file. The Hetty rules do
not apply, and Eric enjoys coffee and Oreos in Ops.
The team shootout in Prague reports on the ops wire. Nell and Eric find no data on the hard
drive and cannot find Hetty’s trail. Vance says they only have one agent in Prague, agent Hunter.
Nell asks for news from agent Hunter who is supposedly hunting Hetty officially.
The NCIS crew, on the beach in Romania, act to count heads and map out the perimeter by
watching the beach house and the guards outside. Hanna wants more answers from Callen. But

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
Callen and the team see a mysterious woman arrive to the Cmsecu compound. She is well
known to the guards and a friendly face to them. Deaks is stunned to look through binoculars
and see...Agent Hunter. Kenzi is shocked too.
At the same time Eric and Nell decode the NCIS file and decrypt the photos. One of the photos
is blurred. They scramble the Cmescu family portrait to find Agent Hunter. Agent Hunter is the
niece of the Cmescu crime family matriarch Alexa. Vance walks in to see what they are doing.
Hanna says she must be undercover. Callen learns that Hunter is part of the Cmescu family
group. Hanna says having her in the house changes the plan. Callen says the plan is to kill them
all.
The Cmescu matriarch tots up Hetty’s kill tally. She tells about how Callen’s mother was born.
Then the escape to America ended their chances. The father swore on his father’s grave to end
the father’s bloodline. Hetty says that Callen won’t go easily and the woman says no, he won’t, it
is in his blood. The woman was killed leaving two children behind, a girl and a boy.
Hetty reveals that after the Cmescus sought revenge she was not able to shield Callen’s mother
from the Cmescu vengeance. Meanwhile the NCIS crew spread out.
Hetty must make amends to save Callen. The Cmescu matriarch show Hetty pictures of the
NCIS team hitting the airport and says she is lying. The Cmescu matriarch says she knows Callen
better than he knows himself. Alexa meets briefly with Elena/Hunter, who does not speak up for
Hetty or recognise her.
Deaks and his partner pretend to be on the honeymoon taking pictures. Kenzi has problems
with their back story. Deaks tells Callen that Hunter went in and the guards are closing in. Deals
watches the house while Kenzi doubles back to the warehouse. Kenzi listens as Deaks says he is
being approached. Hanna scans the guards and says they need a diversion.
Director Vance asks Nell and Eric to hone in on Agent Hunter’s satellite tracker. They run a
trace on the address. The Cmescu cellphones are traced. They find cellphones nearby grouped in
one place. The Romanian camp s where Hunter is and Nell wants to know how she went to the
beach house and why hasn’t she called.
Deaks spots the gaurds coming for him and runs he runs to the warehouse where the NCIS
crew is hiding. He runs up the stairs and where the group is, shouting he has three prisoners.
The men rush the interior where Callen speaks in Romanian and they shoot to kill. Kenzi and
Hanna insist Deaks got made but Deaks pulls the airport photos out of the dead man’s pocket.
They know who to look for.
Hetty speaks candidly with the head of the Cmescu family. Alexa says it was a mistake to let
Callen grow into man. Hetty asks what Callen’s first name is. Alexa says that the OSS man sent
to kill her grandfather for being a collaborator in the war was taken vengeance upon. Callen is
the grandson of that man.
Vance activates the cellphone data trap. Eric snoops on the phones looking for the agent
Hunter cellphone. They check for callbacks. The company that owns the beach house has four
phones. Nell says the phones are in the light industrial and are burn phones, supposedly bought
in Prague. Vance asks Eric to text message the four NCIS officers to call him.
Hanna debates what to do with the prisoner Dracul Cmescu. Callen may want to kill him.
Dracul demands to know about Elena. Dracul says this is his cousin. Callen is stunned and
then all the team’s phones ring. Callen rings Eric who puts him n speaker to Director Vance.
Callen denies he is an agent. Eric and Nell tell Vance that Agent Hunter is Elena Vadim.
Nell and Eric triangulate the cellphones of the Cmescu family as Callen and Hanna interrogate
Dracul Cmescu about who Hunter is. Dracul says it is his cousin Elena and they played together
as children.
Eric and Nell open the photo file to show Vance who this is. The photos go back much further
than the three months Vance says that Hunter has been gathering intel. Vance and Callen debate
whether or not Hunter turned on them. Vance doesn’t want to believe it. Vance says the Cmescu
deal in human trafficking.
Then Agent Hunter calls Callen at the warehouse from the family compound. Hunter/Elena
wants to know where Callen is. Callen asks her what she is doing. Callen take a breath and
trusts her with their location.
Hetty keeps Alexa talking while Elena/Hunter runs the guard out. Lots of shooting happens.
The NCIS team rush the house. Lauren Hunter has a gun. Callen runs for Hetty.

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
Gunfire erupts outside, as Hetty and Alexa stare at each other. Hetty is shot by the matriarch
under the table, before Callen is able to get there. Callen rushes Alexa, who says she knows
everything about who he is. But as he turns, Elena/Hunter appears in the doorway with a gun.
Behind him Alexa pulls a gun on Callen but Elena shoots her dead. Then Hunter gets a laptop
out of the closet to show Callen why she appeared as the family cousin. She says the real Elena
is married in Argentina and wants nothing do with the family. Hunter says that there is a reason.
But then Hanna notices that Hetty isn’t breathing or speaking, and she shoots a bloody hand
across the table. Callen realizes Hetty is shot and dying.

fight to state the driver was killed by a munitions weapon of a high caliber.
Callen and Hanna go to the road to chase the case. They get a text from Hetty about the shoes
worn by the missing woman from the kidnapping. These are very unique. They go to the boutique

at what her son has been up to. The son realizes his deeds online were what got his father
kidnapped.

sites. Callen think that the Chinese might have kidnapped Calder thinking him responsible
for the hacking attacks.

as the team races to locate stolen explosives somewhere in the city.
Meanwhile, to much protest, Hunter changes the dynamics of the team
and has Callen partnered with Kensi and Sam with Deeks.
Hunter brings the team the case of
Marine Sgt. Marcos, a demolitions expert,
who was just killed this morning
in a blast while driving the SUV of an
infamous club owner, Winslow, on an
L.A freeway. Callen immediately questions
Hunter on why this is their case
and she just points out that they need no
other reason than Marcos was a Marine.

our team’s partners which just enrages
Callen even more.

When they arrive they see a man in the
backyard running from a work shed, as
they give chase the shed explodes. Sam takes down the man and once they take him to the
boatshed, Sam and Callen interrogate him together - to Hunters annoyance - and discover he is
Marcos’ friend and was the one who connected Marcos to Winslow. Winslow paid top dollar for
Marcos to build five remote denotation bombs but after Marcos delivered the bombs he regretted
it and was on his way to give Winslow back his money when he was murdered by one of his own
bombs. Marcos’ friend, racked with guilt, volunteers to help Sam infiltrate
Winslow’s organization to find out the target and stop him from detonating the bombs. They
discover the target is the new club of Winslow’s former protégé turned rival. Callen and the
team work to evacuate everyone within a one block radius while Sam works with Winslow inside
pretending to help fix the bombs that Marcos supposedly rigged to be duds. Winslow catches
on that the police may know what is going on and Marcos’ friend is killed in chaos as Winslow
activates the bombs by accident. Sam rushes to find an exit as the building explodes. Hunter
sends Callen and Kensi on what appears to be a wild goose chase for Winslow’s girlfriend who
doesn’t seem to exist. Nell finally finds a picture of her and shocks everyone when it is Agent
Hunter. Callen rushes to confront Hunter and finds Hetty back in her office, seemingly aware of

Summary: A joint operation between NCIS and LAPD is necessary when a known
terrorist is linked to a local drug cartel. Sam is distracted when an
important item comes up missing.
A shootout at a pawn shop uncovers
and unlikely working alliance between
Al-Qaeda and a Mexican drug cartel.
NCIS:LA works to figure out why these
two odd bedfellows are working together
and does their alliance risk U.S national
security. To complicate matters, a young
female Mexican police chief who was appointed
after every other police chief was
murdered by the cartel and everyone in
town was too afraid to take the job, inserts
herself into the investigation tracking
down the Mendoza cartel member who murdered her brother. Deeks takes a liking to her as
she does toward him but Kensi is less enthusiastic about having her around.
As our team investigates the case they seem to have two FBI agents always one step ahead
of them and when they finally catch them they realize they are CIA. The agents were trying to
cover their mistake in allowing Al-Qaeda to steal a highly sophisticated drone which they now
intended to sell to the Mendoza cartel to fund their terrorist activities. The agents lead the team
to the location of the exchange when the police chief calls out one of the agents as a dirty cop
who works for the cartel.
Tempers flare and suddenly a car drives by and shots ring out at our team. When the smoke
clears both CIA agents are dead and our police chief admits to killing the dirty agent but says it
is only after he shot his partner and turned the gun on Kensi.
Our team doesn’t know if they can trust her and who is telling the truth. Soon they discover
who is lying and rush to reclaim the drone from enemy hands.

Summary: When a Marine that was dishonorably discharged is accused of murder
and claims he was framed, it is up to NCIS to figure out the truth.
Callen reports a radio talk show call in
with Deak’s drawl who complains about
falling for his co-worker. Kenzi looks interested
while Hetty confirms Deaks has
a drawl. Sam Hanna is away again and
his co-workers notice. Kenzi begs to know
what assignment he is on.
A man gets beat up on a Los Angeles
subway red line and is left for dead.
The man is Chinese. The cameras see the
young man who did it and an APB is put
out. Callen and Hanna find him but are
not sure what to think. He is labeled a
bad egg.
Meiko Tenaka is the young woman allegedly
assaulted but Nell can find no record of her in the USA. The man says Tenaka is his
girlfriend who asked for asylum. The NCIS feel they should be loyal to a fellow Marine.
Erik reports the video from the red line train has a second act. A handsome man makes
Kenzi’s heart beat faster. Hanna and Callen see Deak’s heartbroken look.
The murder looks clear first of a young Japanese man beat up by an American former NCIS
who was dishonorably discharged. But the other man later leaves another wallet that frames
the first man. Kenzi is upset her dream man has flaws, while Deaks brightens. The Japanese
national was killed by the second man.
Callen and Hanna find the man. They chase him but a black Cadillac arrives and chases him
and he runs. Callen saves the former Marine following him by tackling him. They question him at
the boat shed and he says his girlfriend is the supposed assailant victim and a Chinese national
who wants to marry him come to the USA and stay. They question his story.
Tanaka goes to a business conference at the Japanese Gardens and pretends his daughter is
in Japan. Callen and Hanna introduce themselves. Hanna understands Japanese. Tanaka says
his daughter is in Japan negotiating a rail contract. He calls her there when asked. A woman
answers.
Hanna speaks Japanese and speaks to the woman. After hanging up, they walk away. Hanna
calls Erik and gets him to trace the phone call and see if it really came from Japan. They have
only one woman’s word anything bad happened and they can’t find her.

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
Upon returning to the boat shed the heat is on. Hetty informs them they have been officially
removed form the case and ordered to stand down. This is Tanaka’s government reach and
influence talking. With nothing to hide, why would they be prevented from investigating further?
The crew believe maybe the NCIS man has been framed after all. They look into the morgue
where a man shows up to claim the body. He has connections to Tanaka’s organization. The NCIS
thinks he made it very fast for a simple Japanese man to get to the USA overnight. He claims the
body.
Then they go to the hotel Tanaka is staying in and plant cameras on a pastry tray Deaks
delivers. The hidden micro cameras see Tanaka’s daughter come out of the room. She is in Los
Angeles. Tanaka schedules a plane to take back the body. He will use it to smuggle his daughter
out as well, leaving the assault charge on the ex-marine.
The NCIS crew are really told to step back. Hetty says Vance put her on a short leash. But
Callen says they gotta do what they gotta do. Nell and Erik dress up as airport security clerks
who hold up Tanaka’s plane and staff boarding due to excessive security checks.
Although the flight manifest says the dead man’s widow is coming, he is not married. It is the
daughter who is in a black veil. Erik insists due to a heightened security threat all persons must
be searched for metal objects due to a terrorist threat. Comically Erik demands every stitch of
clothing be searched.
Nell pretends to do a female security search and the veiled woman with Tanaka gets beeped.
Then Kenzi confronts Meiko under the veil with questions about the assault from the NCIS man.
Kenzi boards the plane veiled in black as Meiko and then hides in the bathroom. Callen sneaks
her out through a cache after Deaks spills luggage all over the runway.
The pilot laughs at Deaks dropping the luggage everywhere. Tanaka on board yells at his
daughter. He thinks she is hiding in the plane restroom. He opens the door to find only her
clothes and shoes which Kenzi had to take off to get through the passageway. She has vanished.
Tanaka is shocked.
At the Los Angeles beach, they reunite the Marine and his girlfriend Meiko Tanaka. He marvels
she got away from her father. She says he still doesn’t know how she got away.
They hug and even Kenzi mists up. Then Deaks and Kenzi make a date for a strictly co-worker
dinner. Hanna leaves and Callen goes to the shed where Hetty has a cup of tea. Callen questions
whether or not she ever regretted not having a family and Hetty is content.

Summary: When a Navy ID is found on a dead body tied to a hazardous material
smuggling case, NCIS is granted permission to investigate in Mexico
and asked to help locate the missing materials.
In Mexico, a man jumps from a
parachute into a motorcycle, landing on
the ground and suddenly falling as a
shot sounds out. Another man comes up,
tracking his body and then freeing and
clutching the mysterious box. He crows
in triumph and hauls the heavy box
across the sand. He is shot and killed. A
person with red boots comes riding up,
and gets the very heavy box, leaving two
bodies behind.
At the boathouse, Callen and Hanna
watch Deaks and Kenzi walz to a record
Hetty has put on. Deaks and Kenzi pair
up. Kenzi is wearing high heels and
Deaks steps on her feet. Kenzi complains the heels hurt. Hetty asks Callen and Hanna to step
up and do the walz, and they protest. But Hetty insists. She is serious.
Eric interrupts in the nick of time. Two bodies in Mexico await their expertise. As they go
wheels up with their Go bags, Hetty leaves, and Eric says they owe him big time. Hanna and
Callen agree. Hanna and Callen trade winks over Nell having a bouquet of flowers on her desk
that brings Eric up short.
In Mexico, the Mexican police show them the bodies in the desert. Callen recognizes one of
the dead men as a British arms dealer. They see a remote kill with a custom shell was the final
kill.
They track a heavy object dragged away and find tracks from the border. Deaks makes friends
with a pig and Kenzi says they are the same species. They spot a truck that ramped the motorcycle
and find security camera footage lading into the United States.
Callen and Hanna visit the arms dealer’s widow, who says there was gold in the box. She
says because her husband was dishonorably discharged she doesn’t even get a pension. he man

intended to steal it an support his wife and a coming baby. Nell calculates the box might have
contained eight million dollars worth of gold.
The truck matching the Mexican sand tracks leads them to a Los Angeles auto garage. Callen
and Hanna get into a gunfight with the uncooperative gang members there who don’t bow to
Federal agents without a warrant. Hanna knows there are guns and drugs on the premises and
they are risking a lot.
A gunfight breaks out while the lead members get away. Callen and Hanna are trapped behind
heavy gunfire. Hanna starts a personless Mustang running, and the car distracts and rushes the
automatic machine gun gunner and Hanna shoots him. Callen and Hanna find a cooperative
mechanic hidden under a car who tells them everything at the boathouse.
The man says the box is filled with brown heroin. Jaime says a slick operator who is half
Indian with red boots ran th truck and got the box. Hanna and Callen realize everyone is being
told something different to move the box into the country.
They profile the red-boot-wearing hustler. Jaime says he wore some badass red dragon wrist
bands. Deaks says this is the work of certain local tattoo accessories shop. Eric tracks the
Internet orders of the shop website through a quick low level de-encryption and finds only one
local red dragon wrist band order with an address in downtown Los Angeles.
Nell sees that Eric receives a bouquet of flowers. Eric asks if Nell is in a relationship that
requires flowers and she confesses she sent the flowers to herself.
Kenzi and Deaks join Hanna and Callen exploring the penthouse downtown. The man with
red boots and dragon wristbands is dead, trying to snort powder of what was in the box. The
wireless devices don’t work there. Hanna and Callen go to check out the security cameras but
they see via live feed someone returning to the penthouse.
Hanna tries to call and warn Kenzi but the coms are out because so much metal is in the
building. The Indian man comes in. He pulls a gun on Kenzi just as Deaks starts babbling about
the art in the place. Deaks babbles about guns and girls in art and how the world needs more of
it. The man thinks Deaks doesn’t know he is there.
The man tells Kenzi not to move but Deaks lands a gun on him, breaking his patter to say if
he harms her is he over.
Hanna and Callen come in, threatening the intruder, but Sam recognizes the man. He is a
CIA deep cover man who Hanna has been working with for the last year. He has been undercover
in the Sudan. These are the mysterious trips Hanna has been taking every weekend, the team is
interested to learn.
He says there is really uranium in the box, a deep secret and the destination is a dirty bomb
or other terrorist act for Los Angeles. He tells Hanna his cover is blown and there is an Agency
leak. Hanna is not CIA so his cover is not blown.
Hanna asks for clues and the man says he can’t return to the Sudan again. This means Sam’s
mission is now a solo undercover one. But Sala says it means the world to his wife and family
that he is home and safe and not working abroad undercover. Sam agrees.
The box is gone and Kenzi sees Dolly marks to the elevator. Someone got the box away. A van
moved away from the scene. They break into the destination, a factory, at gunpoint. They profile
the men in the camera and find they are working as air conditioner employees. The surprised
workers blurt out that they just fix old air conditioning systems.
The CIA man calls this a real estate acquisition and Callen says it is an attack like 9/11
without blowing up buildings. They can spread the powder of uranium inside the buildings
making them uninhabitable for decades. People breathing it will be killed.
Eric and Nell track where the mystery employees went for the day. Samir Abbas and another
man Mala work at Anderson and Kirk technical services. Two of them were found on a real jobsite
and one is missing. They track another man who is unaccounted for.
They track his van and stop him on the street. He keeps quiet and knowingly smirks, and
denies any knowledge of any attack or uranium. The CIA man says it will be somewhere public.
Deaks demands to know the target. But the GPS shows the van was out on a job at the Los
Angeles Convention center. Kenzi radios in the target.
Eric says there are 30,000 people in it right then. There is Game World Expo happening.
Callen and Hanna arrives when the alarms tell Convention center people to exit the building and
remain calm. Eric tells Callen to navigate the Convention Center to the main lobby.
156

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
Alarms sound in the Convention Center and the people are herded out quickly. Sirens sound.
They evacuate the Convention center and find the air panels the powder was meant to ruin.
Callen finds the maintenance area and sees the staff working the air conditioning ducts. Hanna
gets the drop on the man hunting Callen. The CIA man Sala comes with them.
One of the men brandishes the powder and tells Hanna and Callen to stay back. Sam sees
his undercover friend Sala closing in and he gets in contact with the dust. They get the man but
Sala is covered with the nuclear material.
He is suffering from uranium damage and Hanna sends for an ambulance and a radiological
decon team. Sam feels guilty when the man escapes. They track him on camera from the security
footage back at the boathouse.
Sam says he should have stayed with him. Hetty reports the CIA will take care of Sala the
best they could. Nell says that with the uranium damage he has a few months left. He has a wife
and a seven month old baby, Sam says. The CIA made sure he was decontaminated.
Sam starts that Sala was returned to the Sudan to continue working for the CIA. But Sam
says he will die there. Hetty says it doesn’t matter anymore. Sam says he is going in too.
Hetty says of course he is and there is a Gulfstream 5 fueling up right now. Hetty has transport
arranged further on as well. Sam leaves. Callen tells Hetty he should go too. Hetty says that for
now it is a CIA task force.
But Hettys says to Callen, ’I know I don’t have to tell you to be ready’.

again and he says to ask Deaks why. Bates says Tully is one of the good guys.
Bates has a personal laptop and Quinn want Deaks to get the Fisk laptop. He says if he files
for a warrant then Bates will know. Deaks and the valedictorian talk about the Bates case. He
says not all good cops come from broken homes.
Deaks says that Quinn is paid to bust cops. Quinn says Fisk’s mole inside LAPD is Bates.
Deaks says he could never figure out why he had LAPD in his sights, he had Harvard and prep
school. Quinn says Deaks is the one who can help now.
Kenzi finds Bate’s girlfriend, Angela Tully, the investigator. She is staying in a Hollywood
hotel. She places calls to her mother and Bates inside the same time window and Eric flagged
her contacts.
Kenzi tracks her to the hotel room and she says she had to break off a relationship to be with
Bates. Tully is married. She says she is there because of the breakup. Bates wants a family now
and she wants to take a break from both of them.
Deaks gets to the office of Bates. He stops into the office and finds Bates’ laptop. He gets
the thumb drive transfer. He gets a call from Bates and jumps out on the ledge while Bates is
jabbering at him. Deaks falls into another office as Bates barks at him.
Nell purposely walks up to Kenzi and asks a dumb question. Kenzi follows the smoke to where
there is fire. The guy Deaks supposedly killed landed in Dulles.
Callen tells her without the ploy she would never have been believable and they would never
have taken Deaks back. Kenzi knew something was off. The fake shooting was a ploy to force
Bates to cut ties and take Deaks back. It was Hetty’s call. Kenzi is angry her feelings were forced
to the fore and Deaks’ weren’t.
Deaks meets with Hetty but she get a phone call. He gets word of an off-the-book raid Bates
set up and notifies Deaks. Bates says that Clarence Fisk is his. Callen and Hanna watch the
meet shape up. They notice the Aryan brotherhood is continuing to make the deal.
Deaks and Kenzi are tasked with tailing Bates to the meet. Kenzi and Deaks talk and he says
they were pretending their thing. Kenzi says oh so they do have a thing. He thought they could
talk about it over drinks. She has plans every night for the rest of her life.
Kenzi tracks Bates waiting for Quinn but Deaks shows up Quinn turns the gun on Callen and
Hanna. Bates says Quinn will show him the leak. Callen and Hanna close in from busting Fisk
3 bricks short of the full explosives load. Kenzu jumps out that the car is rigged to blow.

Mom and Dad set him up with a free ride. The free ride came from Fisk. If he didn’t become a
cop, his cop, or Fisk would wreck everything. Desk runs up and Quinn is upset because Deaks
is the hero.
Deaks says ’this is over, man.’
Quinn says the only person he saw with love was Tully, and she fell for Bates.
After Deaks cuffs Quinn, Bates tells Deaks he obviously has a home at NCIS. Bates says not
to trust the tea-sipping Svengali (Hetty) and make sure the ninja (Kenzi) doesn’t come after him.
At the boathouse Kenzi calls Hetty on the betrayal of trust making her the scapegoat for the
Lt. Bates ploy. Kenzi says after Deaks was taken from her she felt like she was fifteen again and
the police had no answers about her father’s killing. Kenzi is deeply hurt.
Hetty says that is why she was the one to back up Deak’s cover story. Hetty couldn’t take any
more risks. Hetty says she is in Kenzi’s debt. She says she’ll be cashing it in one day.
As Callen and Hanna discuss the concept of ’swagger’ in a villain, they note that it is more
than a car or a way of dressing. Hanna pretends to be ’game’ and recognises a badass in Fisk,
like himself.
Hanna as Game, says Game recognizes nothing and Callen responds that ’Haters are always
gonna hate’.
Time and again they repeat this exchange. When Deak flubs a chance to make up with Kenzi,
Deaks asks for help. Hanna and Callen recognize nothing. Deaks is shot down.
Deaks begs Hetty for advice, and she says ’Haters gonna hate’.

Summary: The holidays lead to distractions for the team as Sam tries to get the
perfect gift for his daughter and Eric is all set to meet Nell’s parents.
Only the team is assigned to find a stolen device that could cause
destruction throughout the city.
A couple of snogging young adults
hide in an office and almost get caught
by a security guard. He turns and gets
attacked from behind by a mugger in the
dark office, and a college professor is attacked.
The Parker Pony is sold out and
Hanna has to have it for Christmas for
his daughter. He instructs Eric to by it
in an online auction for him and keep
tabs. Hetty tells them Happy Holidays.
She is hosting a drinks party later. Attendance
is mandatory at one of Hetty’s
drinks party.
The CIT engineering department is
where the guard was when attacked. This is the lab of Gareth Carlyle, an expert on EMP. This
man knows an individual EMP blast can destroy electronic device in a forty mile radius. The flux
compression generator is being invented. Copper coils generate a pulse that can cripple a chip in
a control tower, bus, hospital, computer, or LAPD operations.
Carlyle is ex-Navy. They talk to Carlyle at the college and he did a stint overseas. He was too
burnt out by Desert Storm. They ask about who would steal his device. He says disinterest is
more what he is up against. The DoD cut way back on the EMP budget.
Kenzi and Deaks meet the guard. He is back on duty despite the ether. He blames the kissing
couple were in on it, because they got him away from the desk. The guard says that Carlyle
remembers his birthday and is a nice guy. They say he didn’t make tenure. A shame.
Hanna and Callen spot Carlyle running away, not to a lecture. They trap him but he lies to
them about running away from the elevator. He drops his keys trying to get into the car. Callen
and Hanna get him and ask what he is doing.

Summary: When a researcher with the Department of Defense is found dead, Nell
must put her high IQ to the test when she goes undercover as his
replacement. Meanwhile, Hetty’s ability to lead the team is questioned
by the new NCIS Assistant Director, Owen Granger.
Hanna and Callen stake out an operation,
listening to jazz. They get an emergency
message on their phones, ’Agent
needs assistance.’ Kenzi gets dressed and
runs out on a man. (this is the sting) She
says ’I will call you.’ Her cover is as a dental
hygienist. She leaves and gets in the
car driven by Deaks.
Kenzi asks if this is a legit alert? She
said she had him just where she wanted
him. Deaks says ’Hows that?’ Kenzi says
’Just drive.’ Deaks drives.
Hetty is not answering her number.
Nell says the eyes inside the dock house
are disabled. The teleconference is on fug.
Nell tries a thermal imaging layer on screen. Callen walks the perimeter. They scan the screen.
Hetty sits in a chair there is a man in suit in the corner.
Callen sneaks in calling Hetty’s name. She does not move. He asks if she is OK. ’Care to tell
me what this is all about?’ Callen is curious. ’Ask him’ she says. The rest of the team comes in
slowly.
’Special Agent Callen. The direct approach, you walk directly into a trap.’ The suit man says.
’Is that what this is?’ Callen asks. ’Could be’, he says. Callen says ’I know you?’ He says ’No, not
nearly as well as I know you.’ ’It’s too bad you brought the entire team.’ he says. Hanna says ’You
twitch, I’ll kill you’ Hetty says ’His name is Wallan Granger, your new assistant director.
The crew reacts in disbelief. Hetty says ’I told him this was bad idea. But he is the boss’.
The new assistant director has a mission for them. A man named Brad Bolton is dead. He
was an agent. Brad and his wife are employed by a research company that works with the DoD.
What makes this more than a domestic dispute, Callen says it might be just to establish an alibi.
171

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
The new assistant director wants to know ’Who killed Brad Bolton and what go compromised?’
Brindall Security is the company. The group assumes they can infiltrate it. The new assistant
director says ’It’s a think tank, not a company’.
Nell was actively recruited and will go in. Eric questions her aptness and that she never
mentioned she was recruited by a think tank. He asks her IQ but she does not tell him.
The new assistant director has some chilling words for Kenzi. ’Agent Bligh, I’d like to speak to
you about your recent trips to Hawaii when you get a chance.’ Kenzi later discusses with Deaks
that she went asking questions about her father’s wartime death but the people told her the
same things she already knew.
’Double double toil and trouble.’ Callen approaches Hetty in her dark office. Callen asks Hetty
if she is just going to let this guy take over. She is silent and he walks away and stirs her tea.
Bligh says maybe we should talk to Director Vance. Callen says maybe this is the tight leash they
heard would be put over Vance.
They ask how Hetty is. Callen says she seems caged. Hanna says Hetty doesn’t do well in
captivity. Hetty has managed to avoid a lot of the backstabbing in D. C.
Nell hears a knock at the door. A man is here and he says he is JT and that he saw her he
was a fighter pilot who punched out over Fallujah. She is replacing Brent. Nell asks is i true that
he died. The guy gossips and gives her a computer. She says thanks. His fly is open, Eric points
out. He sees her look down. He backs out of the room. Nell says to Eric ’What are you twelve?’
Callen and Hanna stake out Brindall research’s premises. They look at the coffee stand and
see messages written in people;s names on coffee cups which are then discarded and check out
low tech human intelligence. Brindall research needs a laser mike or an EMR detector.
Callen and Hanna saw her with an actuarial agent they saw her with at the house. They bring
in the wife for questioning to the boat house. The actuarial agent is writing a novel with her
creative partner. Roger Mcadams really is an actuarial agent.
They look at surveillance pictures. Who is this guy, Callen asks?
She is writing a novel. It’s about a noblewoman and staving artist. But the actual insurance
man is a black man, the handsome man in the picture he is using the false identity.
They review the people from the park scene. The coffee vendor is a former Israeli national. The
soccer mom is just a woman with a baby.
They bring the man posing as McAdams to the boathouse. They find out he is following them
for a fee. They start to find out who he is working for and why but then the new assistant director
walks into the interview room and says they are done.
Then the new assistant director swoops in and hands them over to the authorities, making
Callen and Kenzi and the others angry. The new assistant director mocks their expectations of
participating in the development of the case. He sneers at the ’new broom’ sweeping the NCIS LA
clean.
The group wonder how to handle this. Hetty questions what they thought would happen. They
decide to go along for now. Hetty tells Callen not to mistake inaction for not doing anything.

Summary: NCIS needs to find who’s responsible for ambushing the vehicle transporting
Jada Khaled so their case can be salvaged. This means Sam
will have to face up to Jada for the first time since bringing her back
from Sudan.
In a parking garage, two men try to get
Jada into a car safely. But another car
tries to push them over the ledge. Khaled
reaches out and forces an attempt on
Jada the sister they got out of the Sudan.
Sam is emotionally stung by the guilty
jolt. Hetty says possibly that Sam could
sit this one out. Sam says no. Callen
tells Sam they have to put Khaled in the
ground with all the mass graves. Callen
postulates another person might be responsible
to escape the taint of association
with Khaled.
Nell says Elmsley has not seen heard
from. his hotel name is the one Sam
stayed in when he knew Khaled in the Sudan. Deaks and Kenzi investigate whether or not the
freedom fighter is also missing who Sam worked with in Khartoum. First they catch credit card
scammers using Sudanese IP addresses.
But Sam pretends to try to water-board the credit cards’ scammer. Callen and Sam sweat the
man in the boathouse. The last time he talked to Khaled was three weeks ago. He says he did
not order a hit on his sister. They trace the car in the Jada hit to a camera where Alex Elmsley
points to them. Callen and his team get to the address where he pointed.
Elmsley says they took his family. He had to make it look like a real assassination attempt.
He says they have his family. It’s payback for him and Sam and they knew he’d have access to
them. He says he has twelve hours to find his family. He escapes them through a construction
chute and drives away. He does not know who ”they” are, he assumes they are with Khaled.
They identify former DSSG French spooks meeting with Adrian Montalban of Montalban international.
They have ranches including Los Angeles. The data servers are in a private cloud.
173

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
Callen wonders if the Khaled is the source. They want to intercept Montalban communicating
with Khaled who has been in hiding.
Hetty is packing a piece when Callen asks for a expedited covert entry search warrant for the
server bug. Hetty says that while they are all concerned Sam carries the burden of emotional
blame. He would do anything to save Jada and Elmsley’s family.
Deaks and Kenzi pulls the Swedish hand-off and play a CEO Mr. Stone and secretary Darcy.
She plays crumbling secretary and sneaks into the server room and plants snooping phone. Nell
coaches Kenzi where to put the phone connect.
Erik organizes an online intercept which starts a video conference with Khaled. But Sam is
called a liar by Khaled. Sam calls him a killer. He even tried to kill his own sister.
”When Jada dies it will be at my hand. As will you”. Khaled says all the countries now does
not want to be a friend.
Khaled taunts Sam that with all their technology he is still free. He says to Sam he will strike
and he will bring shame to all of their families as well.
Montalban has tossed Khalid to the wolves. Khalid says they kidnapped her. Sam says that
they rescued her. Khalid says that he is sure she feels differently.
Nell says the Montalan files are encrypted and Callen as for her to look through the ones
concerning the Sudan and during the time Khaled was in office.
Callen thinks that Montalban is a middleman for the French government. But the foothold
in the Sudan turned molten. Callen theorizes that Jada wants to give her deposition and the
minders will move her again. The French government will have serious explaining to do if Jada
testifies.
They plan a trap. The French brokering weapons to Khaled means Montalban was the one
that wanted Jada killed to silence her testimony. Sam goes into the boathouse room where Jada
is, breaking off the coms.
She says he does not get to talk to her. Sam says she was lonely, and after everything they
have been through, he had no choice. Deaks says that the 800 lb elephant in the room is if
anything happened between Sam and Jada. Then Jada says she is trying to understand. ”I wish
I could.”
They get the IP addresses for Khaled from the credit card scammers computer man and plan
a trap for Khaled. Then Callen shows Jada the pictures of the Montalban personnel and she
identifies two of them. They are French operatives. They tell Elmsley to use the information.
He calls them from a burn phone. Callen says to suggest he has Jada and wants his family
in exchange. Callen thinks that Adrian Montalban was filtering weapons to Khalid through a
source. This will prove embarrassing now that Khaled has war crimes reputation now hanging
over his head.
Montalban escapes the ambush but is later trying to board private plane for Morocco. Jada
and Sam are OK. Hetty tells Callen that ”Sooner or later our sins catch up with us”.
Khaled now wants Jada, and he is coming from Spain.

Production Code: 314
Summary: With national security threatened, the team must determine what
went missing when a diplomatic service van was hijacked. After five
years as partners, Callen and Sam are about to confront their biggest
challenge.
Callen and Hannah are in the middle
of heist. One of the robbers is compelling
Hannah to kill Callen. He smacks in a
few punches, after which he is told to finish
Callen off. He takes a mighty swing
at him. That is when the story moves six
hours into the past. The two partners are
split over liking beer or champagne, and
it doesn’t take long for Callen to show
he is impressed at the crate of Belgian
beer. However, Hannah has found himself
a bottle of champagne, which is not
2002, but 2007 sounds like a good year.
Before long, they are arguing about who
made the first strike at the warehouse
raid. Hannah insists he did, but Callen remembers the opposite. Hannah always takes first
strike. Yes, he does, but in all the encounters after that incident. Hannah is still not conceding.
That is when Callen gives up, but sarcastically. Kensi and Marty arrive and enjoy the fun. Kensi
suggests may be they both went in together!
Hetty arrives with news that they have a new case in hand. A diplomatic security service van
was attacked outside LAX about 20 minutes back. It obviously looks like a hijack, and they have
reports the hijackers headed to a warehouse in the city. They have information on the carriers
— two DSS (Diplomatic Security Service) agents — Diane Dunross and Roger Clark. They have
worked at the organization for 10 years, which is information enough for Hannah to suspect
something. Hetty warns them and asks for ultimate caution. They are dealing with the State
Department in this case. Callen wants to know if the Assistant Director is involved in the case,
and Hetty replies he has taken special interest.
When the agents arrive at the crime scene, they canvas the car. However, the carriers are
not there. Eric reports from the computer lab that GPS tracker shows the agents have headed
175

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
towards the federal building in Westwood. And about the car, the agents figure out that it was
sprayed with bullets from the front. Although the DSS agents are required to stick to protocol —
keeping to inside the bullet proof car during an attack, it appears as though one of them jumped
out. That is because a passenger door seems to be hit with bullets as well. The hijackers attacked
from the front. When Callen and Hannah arrive at the federal building, they start interrogating
the agents, but it appears as though they are more interested in showing good hospitality by
serving martini. Why don’t they just answer their questions. What was inside the crate?
They are diplomatic carriers, and therefore do not ask questions. They are in the dark about
what they are carrying. They were just following orders. Who gave them orders? In comes Regional
Supervising Agent Ed Gornte of DSS. He understands NCIS is investigating the matter,
but he would like to debrief his agents first — he has a flight to catch for DC in an hour. Diane
lets on she was the one to break protocol by stepping out of the car. She got carried away. Other
details — hijackers were four men in ski masks, took the crate into a blue Ford F150, and they
were boxed by a black jeep as well. Hannah puts Eric on the job to look out for the cars. When
brought to NCIS premises, they are unable to tell what was in the crate. It is impossible because
they are not supposed to know. As Callen and Hannah interrogate them, it is being recorded and
the DSS agents are unaware of the sharp surveillance cameras. They are not letting on any facts,
but Eric has discovered that the crate was reported stolen earlier. It flew out of India. That is
when Callen and Hannah leave them alone. They pretend to have no conspiring plans, but soon
start communicating in secrecy by writing on a sheet of paper.
In minutes, NCIS agents discover that the hijackers were caught on surveillance cameras as
they unloaded the crate. From picture matchers, it turns out that that the hijackers are linked to
cartel crimes in Mexico. And from the surveillance tape it turns out they have to get to a winery,
because the van the hijackers are using, belong to one. When Kensi and Marty get there, they
know the crate they are looking for, and soon identify it with the number. It contains an immense
load of the basic chemical that is used to make meth. Before long, gunshots ring the warehouse,
and Kensi and Marty take the two attackers down. However, when questioned, the winery seems
to have been unaware. Marty explains that is quite possible.
By now, DSS agent Roger Clark has gotten hostile when Callen brought up his love in Malta,
suggesting that he would trade his reputation and honor of serving the country, because he
wants to start a family with the girl he is seeing in Malta. Now the DSS agents are in separate
rooms. Callen interrogates Diane, and Hannah Roger. It turns out that they have always watched
each others backs. Besides, for Diane, he is the partner — even outside DSS. However for Roger,
he is seeking to start a family with the girl in Malta, but he is glad that he plays an anchoring
role in Diane’s life. Listening to the interrogation are Nell and Eric, who realize that they need
to get Gornte’s statements. It is three hours before his flight touches down at DC. And Callen
and Hannah find out that this wasn’t the first time the DSS agents got hit. It turns out that a
professor may be linked to hijacking case, although he has a clean record — the hunch comes
from his connection with Gornte.
When they reach the professor’s place, he is dead. Before long, Gronte fires a shot, but Marty
takes him out. They have killed Gornte, and the only solution to the case appears to be a confession
from either DSS agent. Turns out that they are not revealing anything as yet, and when
Hetty sees that Gronte role is dubious, she orders a swap. Hannah will interrogate Diane, and
Callen will do the same on Roger. This time it turns out that Diane was ready to trade her entire
career for watching Roger’s back. He had a drinking problem, which she kept from DSS, knowing
that it could end his career. And with Roger’s appreciation for Diane’s focus and grit, he cannot
do anything but hear her testimonial in disbelief. Then comes out the story about cartels, as Eric
announces the way to carry this out.
They will use a substance that looks and tastes like the meth base, and send it to the cartel
like the crate was supposed to move. Callen and Hannah will pose as the drivers serving through
DSS, while Kensi and Marty will be watching their backs from a distance. When they get to
the airlift zone, it turns out that Hannah will have to kill Callen as per the terms. After a few
punches, when Hannah is about to make his final blow, he strikes one of the cartel goons. At
that instance, Kensi and Marty have arrived and start firing. Callen frees himself, and picks up
a gun. Hannah and he start shooting the ones left to be taken out.
When they arrive at NCIS HQ, they announce to the DSS agents that they have discovered
emails sent from Clark’s account on the days he was in Malta. The village does not have internet,
176

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
and so someone hacked his account. It turns out the person was none other than Diane, who
had already established links with the cartel herself. She explains she did it as a way to get
back at him for visiting that woman. He was all she really had, but he was always talking about
retiring — which would leave her behind. Roger cannot believe it — she would have always been
his best friend.

Summary: An international killer who can take on the façade of any personality he
needs has been able to evade law enforcement across the world, even
Callen. With Assistant Director Granger breathing down their necks,
the NCIS team must track this killer down.
The scene opens with two men getting
into their car. Just then a man, whose
face is not seen comes to the car and
shoots both of them, but taking care that
they are not killed. Just then the phone
rings and the man asks one of them to
talk. His name is Paul. Paul knows the
caller. His name is David. He tells him
that they have been shot. The man asks
Paul to tell David that the deal has to
go through or his wife and children. Just
then the man pours gasoline on the men
in the car. They are terrified. David tells
Paul to tell the man that they will go
through with the deal. The man leaves
and Paul calls 911. But just then the man comes back and sets the car on fire and leaves.
At the NCIS office, Kensi gives Marty one of her organic blends, which tastes like wood!!
Just then Granger calls for Callen and Hana. In granger’s office the duo meet Interpol agent
Kallstorm. Kallstorm educates them about the killing that took place last week and that this case
could have ties with one of their cases. Granger tells the detectives that the two pharmaceutical
executives who were killed were selling expired medication; but at the last moment they got cold
feet and decided to back out. The buyer killed the two men and the boss left with the shipment
four hours later. The detective wants to know about their connection with the case. Kallstorm
tells them that the MO used is the same as a French-Morrocan arms dealing gang. Callen tells
Kallstorm that they took down the gang six months ago. It was led by DeGramont and Callen
179

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
tells him that he is dead. But Kallstorm has taken this MO to three continents and is positive
that this is the same guy.
They show him the surveillance video where the team shot the entire gang. The only guy who
survived was the driver named Kareem. Callen tells him that they would talk to Karee and check
if they could get any leads. The duo goes and meets Kareem in the prison. But to their surprise
he is not the same guy they shot. The guy who was shot is French, taller and skinnier. Eric
calls Callen and updates him with the fact that the guy in the prison is Hector Ramirez and
that Hector’s family was paid $100,000 and a jail administrator was paid $150,000 to switch
the records of Kareem and Hector, who quit two days later. Callen tries to remember something
about Kareem and tells Hana that he missed something. Eric tells Hana that the administrator
erased all photos of Kareem. They run a facial recognition for DeGramont.
Just then they see an id with DeGramont’s photo but with the name Kareem Ghilas. So
now, they realize that the driver who Callen interrogated was DeGramont. So Kareem, who they
thought was DEGramont was actually the driver. Granger is in a foul mood and tells Callen that
it was his fault that DeGramont escaped and from now on he will be responsible for all of his
actions. Next Callen and Hana go to meet Kallstorm to have a look at the burnt car. They find
nothing. But then Hana looks at one of the shoes of the executive and tells Eric to run a match.
Just then they get the 911 call made by the executive. Callen tells the team that the voice of the
perpetrator had a Russian accent, mostly eastern; Moscow, but the guy who he spoke to at the
hospital had a low class French accent.
Just then Nell traces the name on the shoe. It was Edison, which is a club. Marty goes to
check the club. They check the voice records for Kallstorm’s Russian and Brazilian case. Callen
infers that DeGramont’s actual MO is switching identities and the best he is ever seen. They call
him the chameleon. Next, Marty is at the Edison club. There he meets on of his exes and she is
not very welcoming. The club’s manager tells Marty that he does not recognize DeGramont. Even
the other workers deny any recognition. He tries asking his ex, Erin. She tells him that it could
be that he was in the club, as she does remember a guy with different accents. Next, at the office
Kallstorm tells Granger that the Brzilian police did mention that DeGramont had an affinity for
tattoos.
Callen tells the team that he only acts as a foreigner but doesn’t know those languages. He
only uses the accent. The team infers that he is staying in L.A. to get the meds which can fetch
him 6 million dollars. Kensie tells Callen that she is going undercover at the Edison. Kallstorm
thinks of it as a bad idea. But callen tells him that they what they are doing. Kenzie, all dressed
up, reaches the Edison. The other three are also at the club. The bartender cannot keep his eyes
off Kenzie. Marty clicks a photo for a facial identification. Callen asks Kenzie to take a walk and
sees a guy with long hair following her. Bt when she turns around; he’s gone. Callen follows
him. But just then a man walks upto to Kenzie and tells him that he likes her tattoo. He has an
accent. Callen signals Hana that they are going into the back alley. When the man makes his
advances towards her and pulls out a knife, Hana cuffs him.
The man tells the team that her husband wanted him to do this. Callen realizes that they
have been set up, and that he wanted them to be here. Callen wonders as to how he knew that
the team was going to be at the club. They check the man’s cell phone. Just then there is a video
text on his phone wherein someone is setting fire to Kallstorm’s car, with him inside. Granger is
infuriated a t Callen as he thinks he got an Interpol Agent killed. But Hetty defends Callen and
tells Granger that Callen is not the one who is responsible for the killing. Granger tells the team
that he is taking over. Just then Eric informs everyone that there has been a five million dollar
cash withdrawal from the Nigerian Consulate’s bank account. Nell updates them with the email
trace.
Granger takes Kenzie and Marty to the consulate and asks Callen and Hana to go to the café.
At the consulate, the people refuse to co-operate with them just then they see a van drive by
and they follow it, but they find nothing. Granger tells the man from the consulate that he is not
concerned with the meds but he wants to know who they bought it from. At the office, Eric talks
to Interpol agent, Linderoth. But the agent has a surprise for him. He tells him that the man in
the video is not agent Kallstorm! He sends them a photo of the real agent Kallstorm. Linderoth
tells Eric that they are not able to make any contact with the real agent Kallstorm. Eric update
Hana and Callen about the same.
At the café, the owner recognizes the photo of the ’fake’ Kallstorm and tells them that he has
180

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
been there a couple of times. He takes a shot and calls DeGramont. Eric traces that call and gets
a location. But the chameleon reads through it and tells Callen that this call cannot be traced
and hangs up. But the duo doesn’t fall for that and go to the hotel the call was traced to. There
is a Kallstorm staying there. They ask the receptionist for the key to the room and enter it. But
shock rams into them, when they see a dead man sitting on the chair, the real Agent Kallstorm.
At the lab, the team is checking on the video tape of the med deal with the Nigerians. They figure
out that the chameleon is playing the driver again.
Hetty tells Granger that it was he who blew the entire thing because now the chameleon
knows everything they know about him and that is not good. She tells him that he had the guy
all along and he let him go. At the hotel, Callen and Hana are checking the surveillance video.
They figure out that the man had two rooms in that hotel and that he is still there. They go into
that room and find a man sitting on a chair, but it is not him. This man tells him that he was
hired and assured that he could not be found. After saying this, he falls to the floor, dead. Just
then Callen gets a call from a ’blocked’ number. It’s the chameleon. He tells Callen that the fish
at the hotel did not go very well with the guy who was impersonating him, so now he is dead.
He also tells Callen that his mouth hurts and brain throbs because of the bullet he put in his
head. He continues to tell him that one day he is going to kill him, soon. That’s all he lives for! He
is sitting at the poolside and Callen hears the splashing of the water. The chameleon drops his
phone in his drink and leaves. At the office, Callen and Hetty question Granger as to why did he
come here because he brought Kallstorm with him. he simply says, ’I am here to catch a killer’.

Summary: The arrest of Kensi for the murder of her father’s former associate
leaves the NCIS team astounded and scrambling to prove her innocence.
The scene opens with Agent Deeks
asking Agent Blye why she broke up with
him. She tells him that he is just broken.
They are in a boat shed and Deeks
thinks that it is a surprise party for
him. Granger tells them to come in another
room. He tells Deeks that Blye can
sit down and that he has to go. Deeks
watches as Granger sits down with Blye.
Meanwhile, Agent Callen and Hanna go
up to Eric and ask where Hetty is. Deeks
comes up and tells that Granger is about
to go crazy on Blye. Hetty calls the agents
in her office and Nell fills them in to what
is going on. David Blake, a retired serviceman,
was killed in a car crash. She says that Blake was a sniper for Blye’s father. Eric finds
out that Blye comes from a line of snipers. Hetty says that Blye has everything to do with this
because she was the last person to be in contact with David Blake. That is why Granger is with
Blye now.
Meanwhile, Blye talks to Granger about the fact that her father was a hero and says that she
was in Hawaii to track Blake down. However, he didn’t want anything to do with her. Granger
says that Blake died in a car accident and if she had anything to do with it, she is going to be in
trouble. The agents look up information on the team that was with Blye’s father. Jay Fisher is the
only one alive. It appears that Blye only joined NCIS to get information to track down her fathers?
killer. The agents accuse Granger of running a secret investigation behind them. Hetty talks to
Granger and tells him that he should of came to her first before interrogating Blye. She says that
she won’t forget it. Hanna and Callen get to the car that was involved in the car accident. Callen
says that it is possible that Blake came to take Blye out, but it looks like someone took him out
first. They find that this was murder and Blye is officially a murder suspect. Hanna says that is
only if they tell Granger.
Later, Granger talks to Blye and she says that her father was a hero and that she would do
anything besides murder. Granger says that Blye’s father wasn’t the real American hero as she
183

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
thinks. Hetty tells Deeks to hit the streets and she will take care of Blye. Hanna and Callen
go to Eric and he is finding to get the phone list. Nell tells him to relax. Nell finds that Blake
called Fisher and says that they have an address. The team gets there and Deeks tells Hanna
and Callen to get a better car. Callen asks how the CIA is involved in this. They go up to Fisher’s
trailer and go inside and find it empty. Deeks says that they have a locker number. Eric tells the
agents that they have footage of the trailer park and one of the people that stand out is Blye. She
visited Fisher. Granger tells Blye the truth of the Sniper Group that the CIA organized. He says
that she can come and go as she pleases. Blye goes up to Hetty and asks if she knew and she
says that she didn’t. Granger says that if Blye is responsible for this, then the NCIS team will be
disbanded.
Deeks goes up to Blye’s home and has coffee for her. He invites himself in and says that there
are Federal Agents watching her house. He uncovers a sniper rifle and Blye says that it is her
father’s. She changes the subject and he plays along. He tells Blye that they are hiding the facts
from Granger. She tells him that there are things that she hasn’t told him when Deeks’ phone
rings. He tells Blye that LAPD found out that Blake’s car was rigged and says that he has to bring
her in. Eric and Nell tell Callen and Hanna say that Alex Harris is the handler of the team. They
speculate that Harris could be taking out his old team. Blye is taken into custody to a secured
location and Eric tells the team that he tracked the burner phone that Fisher has been using to
a theater district. The team goes to the location and Eric and Nell find out that Blye has been
requesting forms regarding her father’s death. They wonder why Granger, if he had known for
years that Blye has been looking into the death of her father, why hasn’t he told them.
The NCIS team arrives at the theater and walk around. They run into Fisher, but he fights
back. Fisher runs off and rides off. Suddenly, the motorcycle that Fisher is on explodes. They
realize that this had nothing to do with Blye, but then say that it could still be Blye though. Deeks
gives up the phone that Fisher had on him and asks Eric to call the number that was called on
the phone. If it was Harris, then they could psych him out and get him to answer. However, when
they try, it is no use. At the hotel, Blye asks the agents to get a message to her team, but they
tell that it is against protocol. The NCIS team goes to Blye’s computer and finds the files that she
had on her system. They find that there are pictures of the Civil Defense Shelter and the note
that they have is matching to that of the Shelter. They get to the location and find that it is a
bomb shelter. They see that there is a bullet hole in the lock. Harris could be inside. Deeks says
that bomb shelters are dumb and Hanna says that he has a bomb shelter for him and his family.
Deeks tries to back peddle, but the comment was made.
They go into the Shelter and realize that there is a lot of supplies. They toss something to trick
the person inside. They tell him that they are Federal Agents. It is Harris on the other end and
he surrenders his gun and they take him into custody. Back at the hotel, Blye asks them again
and then hits the agents and knocks them unconscious. She leaves. Back at NCIS headquarters,
they interrogate Harris and he says that he will talk, but only to Blye. He says that it will be at
a place and time of his choosing. Granger says that he won’t allow Harris make the rules. The
agents tell Granger about the information that they know and how he allowed access to Blye’s
father’s records. Granger gets the information that Blye has escaped. Blye walks up to Hetty and
she says that there is a lot of damning evidence. She tells her that her past doesn’t matter and
that she has to make sure that she is protected. Meanwhile, Eric tells Callen and Hanna that
Granger and Harris were in the same division.
Deeks escorts Harris to the location and tells him that if he harms Blye, he will make sure
that he won’t survive. Harris laughs. Callen and Hanna drive and Hanna asks what the answers
are not what he wants. Callen says that the truth will set him free. Harris meets with Blye and
Deeks walks off. Harris makes sure that they are not being watched or followed. Eric is trying to
get eyes on them, but they have to wait. Blye talks to Harris and asks why he killed the men. He
says that he didn’t. He says that her father was murdered and that the man killing off the team
is the same man who killed her father. She asks what the man’s name is and he tells her that
after the man takes him out, he is coming after her. Harris is shot and Blye runs. The episode
ends with a to be continued as Blye is shot.

Summary: The team runs into problems while attempting to clear Kensi Blye
from charges of murder after she has a deadly confrontation with CIA
agents.
The scene opens in the park where Kensi is shot.
But thanks to the bullet proof she is unharmed. Callen,
Hanna, Marty and Nell are in the park. They are trying
to find Kensi. Kensi is hiding from them, when she spots
someone and follows him. Back at the office, Hetty and
Eric are tracking Kensi’s movements. Eric tells Callen
that Kensi was at the park and she is following someone.
The guy is a pro and Kensi is hunting down this man
who knows about her father; not happening!! Hetty calls
Kensi and tells her that she doesn’t have to do it alone.
Kensi reminds her of a favor Hetty owes her and tells
her to consider it even. She throws away her cell phone.
The four reach the office and Eric tells them that Kensi
has gone dark and there is no way they could trace her.
Callen asks for Granger and surprisingly he seems to
have gone dark too. Marty has some suspicions about
Granger but Hanna tells him to look at it from every
angle before jumping to conclusions.
Callen tells them that Granger, Harris and Kensi’s
dad were a part of the same operation in the 90’s and
he is sure that he is the only one who can put the pieces together. Hetty needs Granger to be
tracked down and brought to her. She tells Marty to look out for Kensi when she turns up; as
she will need a friend. Kensi is walking down the street. Suddenly she notices a man in a car and
starts running. The guy follows her. But Kensi tricks him, beats him unconscious and gets away
with his car. Eric tells Nells and Marty that LAPD is reporting an incident, where a girl beat up
a man twice her size and escapes with his car. Marty knows this is definitely his girl. While they
are checking the footage, they spot Granger. Kenzi follows the address fed in the GPS in the car
and reaches a house. She tiptoes to the back window of the house and sees a woman talking to
a guy. Eric informs Callen that he has spotted Granger at the spot where Harris was killed.
He also traces the car Kensi is driving and gives Callen the address fed in the GPS. The
property Kensi walks into is registered in the name of Julia Feldman. Marty finds Kensi. Kensi is
185

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
in pain because of the hit in the park. Marty checks the damage. Next we see, CAllen and Hanna
break into an apartment and find Granger. He is carrying a rifle. They ask him to put down his
weapon. Callen asks him about the incident at the park. Hanna checks Granger’s gun and finds
out that it has been used recently and has been cleaned. They bring him to Hetty and she asks
the two to leave. Meanwhile Marty tells Kensi that she has a cracked rib. Granger tells Hetty
that he did not kill Harris. He tells her that he has two suspects in this case: Kensi Blye and
Peter Claremont; the same guy who Kensi sees talking to Julia. Granger now knows that Kensi
is innocent. So that leaves him with Peter. Peter is supposed to be dead six years ago; but now
Granger feels that he is alive.
Granger tells her that the whole team believed in Peter’s death; but when Granger started to
think about the accident which supposedly killed him, it did not track right. He had his doubts
and began to reconsider the reasons why Peter had vanished. Callen wants to know why Peter
faked his death in 2006; why not before and why not after. 2006 seems to be a special year; Kensi
joined NCIS. Granger said that the first thing Kensi did was to pull out all the files related to her
father’s death. She starts digging into the past. They assume that Peter killed Donald Blye; but
the question is why. Just then Nell calls Callen and tells him that the last call Peter made was to
a man named Peter Nelson; whose facial recognition matched with Peter Claremont’s. Granger is
right. Meanwhile Kensi wants Marty to do her a favor.
She wants the woman of the house; Julia, to kept in protective custody. Marty is curious to
know why is she so important to Kensi. She tells him that she is her mother. She tells him that
she has not spoken to her mother for fifteen years. She also tells him that since somebody tried
to kill her today, she is the target and the man could also use her mother as leverage to get to her.
Just then Granger calls Marty and tells him to put Kensi on the phone. He knows that they are
together. Hetty assures her that Granger is on their side. Kensi tells them that she already knows
about Peter Claremont and tells them that she saw him at her mother’s house a few minutes ago.
But she wasn’t sure; so she let him live. Granger tells her that there is a truth that she doesn’t
know. Officially her father’s unit had 18 kills but actually it was 19. The last one was in America;
a guy named Stevens andhis death was made to look like a heart attack.
He was a journalist. Weeks after Stevens died, her father allegedly died in a car accident.
So now Steven’s daughter Megan, who also is a journalist, will try to get in touch with Kensi.
Granger tells her to figure out a way where she could talk to her. Kensi promises Marty that she
will be back as soon as she gets a chance to talk to Megan and sort things out. Marty really loves
his partner; agrees to keep her mother safe. Marty meets Julia; and it is awkward. He tells her
that Peter is a threat and her daughter who now is a cop, has sent him to her. He wants her to go
with him. She agrees. Next we see that Kensi meets Megan. Initially Megan did not entertain; but
when Kensi tells her that there could be a connection between both the deaths, she lets her in.
Meanwhile, Julia meets Callen and Hanna. They are surprised to know that Kensi has a mother.
She wants to meet her. She tells them that Kensi feels that she left her father for another man.
But actually when her husband told her about the things the unit did; she took Kensi along with
her; and told her that she is moving because she fell in love with another man.
She ran away and went to her father’s place and tells her mom that she never wanted to
see her, ever. Meanwhile, Kensi tells Megan that she is sure that Stevens did not die of natural
causes and she has no clue who killed her father. Just then Megan gets a call and tells the caller
that a family friend stopped by. Kensi looks around a little ad realizes that Megan knows more
than what she is telling her. The two pull their guns out at each other. But Kensi gets a clear
shot; and Megan is dead. She checks Megan’s phone to see who the last caller was. Marty tells
Callen and Hanna that Kensi was supposed to come back after she spoke with Megan; instead
they traded shots and killed her in self defense. The three reach Megan’s place. They find out
that the girl Kensi shot was not the actual Megan, but some imposter. They find the real Megan’s
dead body in a trunk. She was shot in the head. Nell finds out that the girl who is posing as
Megan worked for the same unit run by Peter.
Nell and Eric are trying to identify Peter’s team; all ex-military; all shooters. Kensi calls Peter.
He tells her that he was the one who killed her father. She tells him that this would end today.
Nell finds out that the article Stevens was working on was actually about Peter and that is why
he was killed. Kensi goes to her mother’s house. She calls the team on a secured line. Callen
realizes that Kensi knew that Peter would have Julia’s house on surveillance and the moment
Kensi would walk in, he would kill her. Kensi too knew about Peter’s plans; and that is exactly
186

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
why she called them. Kensi hears Peter’s voice talking to her. Meanwhile the team arrives at
Julia’s house. On one hand, we see the team take down Peter’s men; and on the other we see
Kensi take down Peter.
The team sees a wounded Peter lying on the floor. When Peter tries to shoot Kensi; Granger
pulls the trigger at him. Hetty finds the evidence Peter was looking for from Megan’s bank vault.
It was the phone conversation; where Kensi’s father calls Stevens and tells him that he needs to
disappear as his life is in danger. He also tells him to meet Granger; the only person he trusts
and tells him about this conversation. Granger would help him. Kensi hears thi and is relieved.
Granger also hands over her Father’s diary to her. He knows Donald would want her to have it.
She wants to meet her mother and apologize to her. She meets Julia, her mom; and now she is
home.

Summary: When the body of a Navy Intel Officer is found, evidence points to a
team of Navy SEALs who are about to depart on a hostage rescue mission,
leaving former Navy SEAL Sam Hanna to interrogate the group
and possibly compromise the mission.
Chief Hanna is met with suspicions
and hostility when the death of a Navy
SEAL on leave comes to his attention. But
the missing man is part of a team ready to
go and rescue civilians in a cave in Iraq.
Eric plays computer games in OPS
and complains that another player, Hotshot
7, follows him into every theater It is
Hetty, who has warned him about playing
games again and again. Eric whines as
Callen and Hanna take away his X-Box.
Eric jokes that war is hell.
The dead man is a mystery. The men
on the squad all claim to have gone to a
movie together. But they all say the same
thing about how the movie ended, leading Callen to believe they did not stay and exchanged
notes about what to say. Task force Delta won’t break.
Ensign Aaron Powell’s body was found wounded and killed. He was a communication specialist
working in Afghanistan. A lot of classified information passed through his hands. Hanna is
confounded to discover he was a Navy seal. He had a wound which was cared for and then died.
Kenzi and Deaks find that Powell had a mailbox and did a dead drop. There is an account
in a bank with $300 and a safety deposit box for one of the men. In it there are envelopes with
cash inside. This is now deemed a terrorist operation. But the leader of the unit puts pressure
on Hanna to let the men go to save the two civilians.
191

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
A special knife was used to make the first wound. Signs of torture are seen. Because they have
previous experience in-theater, their knowledge precludes a replacement team while the murder
is investigated. Sam identifies a knife of this type as a navy SEAL type of thing to have.
The death of one of the men of a team ready to re-deploy means Hanna has only hours to
break the case. The NAVY SEAL team refuses to work with Callen, turning away questions. And
Sam pleads with Callen to let him question the men on his own. Hanna asks Callen to back off.
Callen investigates whether the men actually stayed at the theater. One of the men actually
dated another man’s girlfriend. They look at this for motive. Ensign Powell’s murder ruffles a lot
of arrogant NAVY SEALs handed to the Hindu Kush rescue mission.
The commander is using the imperative of the mission to get the SEALS away from the investigation.
Even though protocol demands they stay for the murder investigation, knowledge
exclusive to the few men means they have to go themselves. The Taliban are moving Rowe and
Davis every few hours.
The men refuse to talk to anyone except Hanna.
Sam does so, but the men remain as a tight knit group to their alibi. Callen discovers the men
are lying and went through the fence into the post. They find a blind spot in the cameras where
the fence is ripped. Sam says there is no physical evidence. There is no motive.
Hetty calls a meeting. Powell’s safety deposit box links him with foreign national and espionage.
Callen points out that even if NAVY SEALS don’t kill for jealousy they would kill a traitor.
Hanna agrees.
Hanna must then question the men again. Kenzi says it like watching someone question their
family and Deaks agrees. Hanna claims the men are SEALS and answer to a different code.
Meanwhile Deaks and Kenzi finds the packet of sensitive information and cause it to upload
to its destination. This is the secreted information about the mission the men were going to be
on.
’The DoD wants this taken care of now.’ The commander can barely make his men cooperate.
Kenzi asks to call the MPs when the agents needed for questioning bristle and insist they need
to get on a plane instead of answering Callen’s questions. Sam asks no questions and points out
that only he can get information.
Slowly Hanna is the only one who can deal with the SEALS. They lie to Callen about where
they were and what they did.
When Hanna finally gets all the men together in the room at the boat house, he turns off the
cameras and microphones and deals with the men privately. Hanna finds out that they captured
the dead man and wounded him to find out where he was selling information about the mission.
The man didn’t think the prisoner would die.
The men wait to see what Hanna will do. Presumably because they were acting out of loyalty
to the SEAL code the shouldn’t be charged with murder.
The men acted together and threw the body away. The man who wounded him with the knife
dressed the wound. But the coroner finds later that asthma and a panic attack caused him to
choke. But Hanna must decide if they acted out of rage or malice. He lets them leave for the
mission.
Hanna is tasked by Hetty about letting the men go. Hanna says there was not enough information
to charge anybody. He says the confession of one of the men was a malfunction of the
microphone and could not be used. Hetty says this cannot stand, he let them off.
Callen and Hetty listen on the hot mike to the mission in Hindu Kush in real time. One by
one the men are are hit while the leader calls for a sitrep (situation report). Finally they get the
two civilians free.
Only when the hostages are rescued at great personal loss of life to the team does Hetty relent
and tell Sam she agrees with his assessment and can close the case.

Summary: When a former Marine is suspected of creating a chemical bomb, the
NCIS:LA team joins the FBI’s domestic terrorist task force including
Operational Psychologist Nate Getz.
The episode begins with a woman
checking on her eye-makeup while driving
and she drives straight into a truck
standing in front of her and the light was
red. The guy from the truck steps out
and just then they hear a noise from the
trunk of the truck. They realize that it is
a bomb and they run as fast as they can.
The truck explodes. At the office, Marty
is surprised to know that Nell and Blye
hang out together. They chitchat for a
while about everything other than work.
Just then Eric signals them to come upstairs
as they have their next case ready.
Hetty shows them news footage. A man
named Gavin Knowles has been arrested by the FBI after a bomb detonating in his truck thus
thwarting an act of terrorism. The team learns that the truck started smoking and the Gavin
abandoned the truck before it could explode.
Hana thinks it was a chemical bomb and highly unstable. Gavin is a former Marine with
no training in explosives; could have trained himself. Callen finds something not fitting right.
Granger wants them to find what the FBI didn’t. The team arrives at a spot for investigation and
Special Agent Ambrose asks them for their id. Gavin is in custody. Blye inspects the truck. Just
then Nate Getz arrives an d tells the team that the FBI has it wrong this time. He tells them that
he has joined the FBI task force. He tells them that Ambrose wasn’t interested in his opinion
and thought that they might be. They need to find a way to question Gavin. Callen and Hana go
to Gavin’s apartment and they try tricking the Agent on duty in letting them in. but just then
Ambrose arrives and stops them. He asks them to finish their paperwork first.
Marty and Blye are at the diner and asks the guy at the counter about Gavin. The guy asks
them to talk to Mia. She tells them that they have been dating around 6 months and that Gavin
193

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
was freaked out about what happened to his truck. She thinks that he is innocent. The counter
guy tells Marty that Gavin used Mia’s phone to make some calls. Marty asks Eric to trace Mia’s
number. The calls were made to a garage. All of them go to collect more information and Eric
finds an excuse to leave Nell and Nate together. Nate thinks that she was flirting with him to make
Eric jealous. Nell denies. Blye and Marty are at the garage and they find a lot of bikes arrive at
the garage. They inform Callen. Hetty educates the team, and Marty and Blye on the phone, that
an anonymous tip was given this morning, stating that a terrorist group was responsible for the
blast this morning and not Gavin.
And there are more bombs. The news outlets have got the wind of this tip. Next, Nate, Callen
and Hana go to the FBI office. Ambrose is disappointed with Nate joining hands with NCIS and
he tells the trio that the FBI has closed the case on this one; despite the news that there could
be more bombs out there. Callen tells Ambrose that if the case is closed then there is no harm
in speaking to Gavin and Ambrose allows Nate to interview Gavin. Callen is watching Nate’s
movements on his phone. Nate asks Gavin whether he has spoken to a psychologist before and
is that the reason that he was medically discharged. Gavin tells Nate that it was an honorable
discharge. He tells Nate that he has got nothing to do with the blast and that someone must have
planted it in the back of his truck. He was about to tell something about the FBI, when Ambrose
walks in and interrupts the process.
There is more to this than what meets the eye. At the office, they analyze the photographs
taken in the garage; and check for the biker gang’s records. Most of them have been in and out
of prison. Marty and Blye go to the garage, dressed as bikers. But they are recognized. One of
them tries to escape and Marty runs behind him. Blye has situation inside the garage under
control. Marty arrests Harold. Marty tells Harold’s that during parole he cannot hang out with
other felons. They ask him about Gavin. He tells them that someone has been asking around as
to how to make a compact bomb; size of a pack of cigarettes. He doesn’t know who. Just then the
FBI Chief announces on television that the tip is nothing but a hoax. They will not be pursuing
it further. Marty and Blye go to meet Mia once again. The door to her apartment was unlocked.
They go inside but don’t find her. They find that she plays a jumbo violin. Eric tells Hana
and Callen that he has traced the tip to Hollywood. The duo leaves for Hollywood to the given
address. They arrive at the address. There was no one around and the gate was locked. When
Callen touched the lock; the car on the other side of the gate explodes. Nate was right that the
FBI had got it wrong. At the office, the team analyzes the explosions. Nate thinks that they are
trying to get their attention. Nell find out that the car used in the second bombing was stolen
after Gavin’s arrest. They suspect Mia and they need to find her. But Nell tells them that Mia has
changed her identity as there is no record of a Mia Jameson until six years ago. Marty shows
them the picture of the violin he took at Mia’s place and points out as to where she could be
servicing it.
They go to the shop. The shopkeeper tells them that her real name is Jessica. They tell him
that they need to look at all the receipts as they have to find her. They get an address. Hana
and Callen go to the address. They find a girl who tells them that she is a house sitter until the
owners return on Sunday. She tells them that the maids told her that their daughter Jessica ran
away when she was in high school. They tell her that they need to check Jessica’s bedroom. They
find a picture of her boyfriend. Eric and Nell tell the team that the boyfriend was arrested as a
suspected terrorist. They both played in the youth orchestra. All this happened six years ago.
Rafi was killed in prison by his fellow inmates, as an act of patriotism. And the FBI agent who
handled this case was Ambrose.
Blye points out another guy in the pictures; the same counter boy from the diner who the
FBI identified as Zachary Cole. But he told Marty that his name was Adam Malnick. He changed
his identity six years ago exactly when Mia changed hers. They figure out that they are out for
revenge for Rafi’s death as an innocent man was convicted and then killed. Marty and Blye go
back to that diner and Adam flees on seeing them. But Hana gets hold of him. He tells them
that he only built the bomb and it was the FBI and media who went around telling everyone. He
tells them that he doesn’t know about Mia’s whereabouts but agent Ambrose might. So Ambrose
is her next target. He tells Eric that Mia must have baited Ambrose in meeting her. Nell finds
something not right about the pictures. Adam isn’t from the group but his phone has the logo
and Rafi was arrested as FBI heard conversations from his phone about the chemical bombs.
Marty figures out that Adam was the one who used Mia’s phone to make a call to the garage.
194

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
Mia was trying to prove that Rafi was innocent. And Adam was taking pleasure in playing this
game. He first gets Rafi arrested and then pretended that he was upset about Rafi’s death. He
then set off another bomb to prove the FBI wrong. They track Ambrose and head to the spot. Mia
doesn’t know that the bomb has been planted on her. Nate figures out that Mia wanted the FBI
to admit that Rafi was innocent and she would want it on record. So the bomb might be in the
tape recorder. They reach the spot but Mia has already turned on the tape recorder. Hana very
carefully takes the recorder from her hands making sure that the contact with the button isn’t
lost.
No plan to handle this bomb. They use a bobby pin to hold down the button. They set the
recorder to the ground and run. It goes off. They tell Mia that Ambrose would declare Rafi’s
innocence and also make sure that Gavin is released. Mia wants Adam punished and she would
do whatever it takes. Ambrose apologizes to Gavin on behalf of the FBI. Mia is being questioned
but there would be no charges pressed. Hetty tells Callen that Granger sends him a gold star.
But he wants it to go to Mia.

First Part — Hawaii Five–0 episode titled
Pa Make Loa
The episode begins with a man frantically
banging at the door of a house.
The mother and the children are scared.
The mother calls 911 and tells them that
her ex husband is trying to break into
the house. The cops arrive and announce
themselves; the man comes out and the
cops are horrified when they see his facehis
face is covered with large boils filled
with puss. He asks for help. Next, we see
that Danny is at Steve’s residence; going
through his things. He finds a map with
a location marked on it. Just then Ho arrives.
Danny shows him the map and tells
him that Steve has gone to Japan. Ho
tells him that Shel Burne could be the answer to a lot Steve’s questions; including about his
father’s death.
Just then Danny receives a call from the Governor and the two leave. They arrive at the scene
and Kono too joins them. Ho tells Kono that a strange husband bangs at the door of his house
and then drops dead when the HPD arrives. He had hemorrhaging small pox; a rare disease. But
that’s eradicated. Danny tells her that the Governor wants them to investigate the case discreetly,
while the CDC determines as to how the guy got the disease. The CDC has incinerated the body
and Kono wonders how to begin with the investigation. Max tells them that he has the blood
197

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
and tissue samples; and also the guy’s pictures. The victim’s name is Bryan Palmer and he was
honorably discharged from the army ten months ago. Ho wonders that if the guy is from the
army then he should have been vaccinated; but Max tells him that the vaccination could have
worn off, as it is effective for 3-5 years.
Danny wonders as to how Bryan got infected with an extinct disease. Max tells him that the
only two places where the small pox virus is stored is CDC and a place called Vector in Russia.
They suspect it to be a terrorist activity. Max also adds that Bryan must have been exposed to
the virus in the past two weeks. He thinks that Bryan wasn’t infected the traditional way but was
injected with the virus. He says that if Bryan had been walking around with it for too long, then
within a few weeks the entire island could be infected. Danny and Ho meet Bryan’s wife, who is
kept in an isolation ward. She tells him that Bryan moved out a couple of months ago. But they
were trying to work things out; but then he stopped coming for family counseling and would not
return phone calls.
She tells them that Bryan would have occasional bouts of drinking, where he would shut
himself up and not talk to anyone. Ho decides to check Bryan’s room at the Breakers Hotel.
Danny finds some syringes and some sort of a liquid with it. But Kono educates them that the
drug they found in Bryan’s room is an antidepressant and the injection mark is due to the
same. But his autopsy doesn’t show any trace of the antidepressant. Kono finds out the name
of the pharmaceutical company who are conducting the trials, Biostratum; but they don’t know
who the participants are. But the local project manager, Ken Tanner, could tell them who the
participants are. But Tanner hasn’t shown up at work today.
Meanwhile, the HPD calls and tells them that they have found the co-ordinates of Bryan’s cell
phone location; its active. Kono tracks it down while Danny and Ho go to Tanner’s residence. But
they find him dead in his car in the garage. They figure out that Tanner was murdered. Kono
goes to the location, and finds Bryan’s cell phone and clothes wrapped in a plastic bag; it has
a biohazard label on it. Danny informs Ho and Kono that Tanner was killed by a man named
Dracul Comescu; his prints were found on Tanner’s car and keys. He is a Romanian national
and is on the NCIS watch list for some special projects in LA. Danny calls Hana from the NCIS
team and asks him about Dracul. Callen is surprised that Dracul is in Hawaii and tells Danny
he also has some personal issues with him. Danny informs them that Dracul has gotten hold of
the small pox virus.
Meanwhile, Charlie tells Kono that he has found clothes of different sizes in the plastic bag.
It means that there are other victims too. Callen and Hana arrive in Hawaii and they meet the
team. Kono tells them that they have found three other sets of DNA from that plastic bag and it
belongs to Paul Kelly, Terrance Hill and Luis Salazar. They are not to be found anywhere. They
were all single and that makes them the ideal victims. They all visited the anti depressant trials;
and the trials are legit. Danny believes that this could be some sort of an experiment and that
Dracul got the information of these guys from Tanner, as they were ready to go through drug
trials. So they need to find out where the experiment is being conducted.
Just then Ho tells them that Tanner was in great financial difficulty; but two months ago he
got a wire transfer from CF&Q. Callen recognizes the company as one of Dracul’s holdings. So,
Tanner keeps half of the money and the other half he spends on buying medical equipments,
which was sent to a warehouse in an island, which is called the Quarantined Island. They reach
the island and find that there are cameras all over. Just then a car drives out and Callen sees
Dracul in that car. They chase the car but in the end they only find the driver. They go back to
the ware house. They find Luis and Paul dead in their beds. They too were infected by small pox.
But it isn’t the small pox that killed them; Dracul shot them in their heads.
Max arrives at the scene with the CDC team. He tells them that the equipments are very
sophisticated and that someone with acute scientific knowledge is involved. They also find tapes
that have documented the progress of the disease. The doctor going through the tapes tells Kono
that normally the incubation period of the virus is 16-28 days; but with this version of the virus,
it is just three days. This means that anyone who comes in contact with this virus will be dead
in 3 days. The doctor tells her that the voice that narrates never shows his face on the camera.
She says that she knows the voice, but cant place him. Meanwhile, Ho and Danny go and visit
Dracul’s driver at the hospital.
Danny threatens to inject the samples that they found in the ware house. He wants to know
about Dracul. But the driver does not answer. But then when he sees that Danny has actually
198

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
injected the liquid in his drip, he begins to crack. He tells them that Dracul has taken 9 vials
with him and the sale is happening today at the International market. But then he also tells
them that when Dracul arrived to pick up the vials, the guys were found dead, shot in the head.
The doctor was missing but he does not know his name. Danny tells him that the drug that he
injected in his drip is vitamin B 12. It aids in healing. Five o and NCIS are at the International
market. Kono is keeping a watch from a distance. Kono tells Danny and Sam that the Chechens
are closer to them. And Callen goes to get Dracul.
But Ho notices that Dracul isn’t carrying anything. Hana and Danny get the Check ins and
find a bag full of money. Hana tells the team that the buy is still in play. Dracul’s bodyguard
hands him a case. The vials must be in it. But Dracul notices Callen standing at a distance. He
fires the gun in the air and the people in the market start running. Callen and Ho go in. But
they manage to lose sight of Dracul. But Kono tells them that they split up and the bodyguard is
next to the fruit vendors. Callen also spots Dracul. The bodyguard holds a girl hostage and tries
to escape. But Kono shoots him. Callen is still chasing Dracul and he gets him. They have an
argument and Callen shoots him. Callen gets the case of vials. Next, both the teams are enjoying
the shrimps at Kamekona’s.
Just then Kono calls Danny and tells him that the doctor from CDC told her that the vials
they recovered from Dracul, did not contain small pox and that the virus is still out there. Kono
thinks that the doctor switched the vials. The doctor’s name is Gerard Perman. It seems that the
doctor double crossed the guys he was working for. Kono tells the team that Perman is leaving
for LA. Danny asks her to send him Perman’s picture. They arrive at the airport. But the guy
they find there isn’t Perman. The guy tells them that Perman gave him $500 to switch flights and
that he had some sob story about his girlfriend he is traveling with. Hana calls his colleague in
LA and asks him to detain a passenger traveling under the name Benjamin Gallagher. Hana tells
the team that they have a problem; flight no. 792 landed in LA five minutes ago.
Second Part — NCIS: Los Angeles episode
The episode begins with the flight attendants find the dead body of a woman in the restroom
of an LA flight. Her eyes and nose are bleeding. The flight is about to land. The suspect’s name
is Dr. Jarrod Prodman and he is traveling in flight no. 792; but he is traveling under the name
of Benjamin Gallagher to remain unidentified. He has a female companion and is carrying a
biochemical weapon; a deadly small pox virus. Eric and Nell are trying to reach Callen and Hana;
but the equipment is acting up. But Eric manages to set it straight. This time the Five O team
is flying with the NCIS LA team. They are working on this case together. Kensi and Deeks are at
the airport and ask them not to let the passengers de-plane; but they already have.
They had to let the passengers go as they had to remove the dead body. This is news to Kensi
and Deeks. They see the body and inform the others. The woman’s name is Sharon Walker. The
only thing that links the doctor and the victim together is that they stayed in the same hotel in
Hawaii. At the airport, Kensi and Deeks are looking for Jarrod, but Eric tells them that he left. He
did not go to the baggage claim and left six minutes ago. Eric educates Kensi and Deeks about
Prodman. He is a renowned epidemiologist, but was disgraced in 2007 for cooking up data to
pump his research. But there has to be someone paying for all this. Prodman is broke and has
no source of income. The NCIs team introduces Danny and Ho to the rest of the team. Danny’s
sarcasm isn’t appreciated much. Hetty has a word with Callen and Hana in private. She tells
them that if this leaks out, there would be chaos. Hetty announces that Deeks and Kensi need
to get inoculated; but Deeks isn’t a huge fan of needles. And Hetty manages to make Deeks cry
out loud. He passes out.
Kensi and Deeks arrive at Sharon’s house. Sharon’s twin sister opened the door. They look
exactly the same; so much that even Kensi was confused for a moment. They break the news
to her. Meanwhile, Hana, Ho, Danny and Callen check Prodman’s hotel room, but they don’t
find any leads, as the room was rented out for just a day. They figure out that Sharon’s death
wasn’t a planned one. Just then they spot Prodman and Ho and Hana chase him and pin him
down. Next, Hana and Callen are interrogating Prodman. He wants a lawyer. Prodman tells them
that he didn’t know it was small pox; he thought that it was some sort of a research. He adds
that Sharon had cancer and thinks that she could have been relapsing. He stole her personal
belongings because he panicked. But obviously the detectives don’t buy his story. They show
him a video shot at the quarantine centre, where Prodman was documenting the progress of the
199

disease.
Prodman has nothing to say. Callen finds lots of money in Prodman’s bag. They want to know
who is paying him off. He tells them that her name is Dr. Rachel Holden. Eric and Nell find out
more about Holden. Meanwhile, Prodman tells the duo that Holden met him at the hotel, gave
him the money and that was the end of it for him. He doesn’t know who is she doing it for or who
the buyer is. They get an address for doctor Holden. Kensi and Deeks go to the hospital to find
out more about Holden. The hospital wants to discuss the entire thing with their legal counsel
before they talk to the cops. So Deeks decides that they should play doctor and nurse- Deeks
dresses up as a male nurse and so obviously, Kensi is the doctor. Deeks manages to sneak into
Holden’s room and finds a message written on the white board. He is stupefied. At the office, Nell
tells Eric that Holden hasn’t used hr credit card for several months, but the last two purchases
were plane tickets; one for Prodman and the other one for her, that will leave from LA the next
day.
She is going to Costa Rica. So whatever she is doing with the virus is going down today. But
they don’t know when and where. Just then Eric tells Nell that if the person who is handling
this virus knows about its deadly effects; they also might have access to the vaccination; which
means, the person would have to steal it from military or State Health department facility. They
find out that two weeks ago there was a break-in at the State health facility center. Nell finds out
the man who is responsible for the break-in at the health center; his name is Gabriel Marchal.
He is linked to several unsavory groups; the ELE. Both the teams are keeping an eye on the
suspected area. They locate Gabriel. But they have to clear the area without causing chaos. They
are successful in doing so. They search the van they were expecting to find the virus; but its not
there. They arrest Gabriel.
But he denies exchanging anything with the doctor. Nell tells Callen that Holden had wired
a large amount of money into one of her accounts six weeks ago. Eric tells Hana that he did
not find anything in Holden’s computer hard drive. But there were few of her articles related to
work. But it is the nature of those articles that is a little disturbing. In one of her latest articles,
she says that a pandemic is the best way to control population. She thinks that by eliminating
small pox from the planet; we have eliminated nature’s life balancing systems. She thinks she is
doing God’s work. According to Holden, the best way to save the planet is to naturally thin out
the human herd. Nell has an important finding. Holden had bought some supplies, which Nell
thought is for business. But then she bought around 300 t-shirts for school children.
So, she would distribute the infected t-shirt in a school, the students would take the infected
t-shirt back home and infect their families as well. Kenzi remembers seeing a group of students
at the airport. They find out about an international gathering and they decide to shut it down.
But its too late; the convention started an hour ago. They go to the convention center. They find
out that there are free t-shirts being distributed. They locate Holden and announce themselves.
But she runs. She tries to escape in her car, but the teams manage to get hold of her. They also
find the vials. They arrest Holden. She tells them that the earth is dying and its we who are the
disease. She was just trying to help.
At the office, Nell tells the group that the Health Department and the CDC are vaccinating all
the people who might have come in contact with those bags and t-shirts. Hetty thanks the Five
O team on behalf of NCIS. Danny and Ho leave to catch their flight. Both the teams managed to
save the earth.

Summary: NCIS believes they have found a Russian sleeper cell in the middle
of the suburbs, so they get Kensi and Deeks to go undercover as a
married couple.
The episode begins with Deeks waking
up and finds that Kensi isn’t in bed. He
goes out and Kensi arrives after her jog.
Just then we see that someone is clicking
their snaps from a car and there is
a revolver in his next seat. Next, Callen
and Hana are doing a bit of virtual sparring
and Hetty calls for them. Deeks and
Kensi are posing like a married couple to
check into a Russian sleeper agent in a
suburban neighborhood. They have put
on more surveillance cameras around.
Their focus is on Floyd Hobbs and Serena
Miller. Next, the ’newly weds’ tells the
team about the Felton kids and Jane Felton;
their mother. Then it is Bob and Rob
and then finally Bret Turner and his fiancée Paulina Graffetta. But they are still not able to find
the Russian businessman Michael Kroyov, who is the only solid link to the sleeper agent.
Unfortunately Kroyov vanished before he could give the sleeper agent’s name; but Nell has
footage of him at an ATM ten days ago. Hetty tells the team that Kroyov’s claim about the sleeper
cell has been taken very seriously by the DOD. Hetty has a word with Deeks and Kensi saying
that they should not give into their emotions just because they are forced to live together. Both of
them pretend to find that thought funny. Just then Eric interrupts their conversation and shows
the three of them a recent footage they found of Kroyov. In the footage, Kroyov is in a hotel and
he enters the lift. A man who is already in the lift is about to get out. He taps Kroyov’s shoulder, a
friendly gesture. Moments later Kroyov collapses on the floor and dies. Now, the only connection
to the sleeper agent is dead. Next, Kensi is preparing snicker doodles for the old man in 504 and
goes to give them to him. Next, Sam and Hana go to a Russian guy and shows him Michael’s
photo.

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
But he doesn’t recognize him. They then show him the photographs of the people from the
neighborhood. H says that Jane Felton resembled his ex-wife. On their way out, Hana thinks
that he actually reacted on seeing Serena Miller’s picture. Callen calls up Eric and asks him
to pull up every detail about Jane Felton and Serena Miller. Meanwhile, Kensi arrives at Hobbs’
house. She introduces herself and tells him that she is house sitting for her uncle. But he doesn’t
open the door. She checks his mails and leaves the cookies on his doorstep. On her way out, she
finds a guy drive away with his car and Hobbs has taken the cookies. Next, Nell and Eric inform
Callen and Hana about the poison that was used to kill Kroyov. Also, they tell the duo that there
is nothing much about Jane Felton and Serena Miller works in a bank. Hana thinks that access
to personal information is the best place for a sleeper agent.
Eric informs Deeks that Serena Miller is on a vacation in Florida, according t her boss. But
Kensi says that she saw Miller drive down in her BMW this morning. So, one of them is lying.
Next, Kensi knocks at Miller’s door and Deeks is keeping a watch outside. But Miller doesn’t
open the door. So, Kensi uses a lock pick and unlocks the door and enters inside. But inside the
house, Miller welcomes Kensi with a gun drawn at her. But Kensi tackles her to the ground and
Deeks comes in. miller tells her that her real name is Nadia Borsov. She tells them that she has
nothing to do with Kroyov’s murder. She tells them that her handler thought that Kroyov was a
traitor. He is making arrangements to get her out of there.
She tells them that if they want any more information, she needs protection. Kensi decides
to drive with miller and she sends Deeks to run interference. Deeks meets Bob Wright and they
have a small chat. Meanwhile, Miller gets her car door to get into the driver’s seat, when there
is a small prick and she begins to have some sort of a seizure. Kensi informs Deeks. She is
breathing her last and she tells Kensi that her handler is Alex Vaznev and he is here. She passes
away. At the office, Nell tells Callen and Hana that there is no record of Alex Vaznev living in the
neighborhood. Hana thinks that he would be using an alias. Callen suggests that it could also
be a woman. Callen asks as to what they would do with Miller’s body. Hetty tells them that they
can do nothing for the poor woman as it could blow their cover. She tells Callen and Hana to find
out why Arcady lied to them. Arcady is the same Russian man they met earlier.
Meanwhile, Deeks and Kensi are having a chat, when someone breaks their window. First it
seems like an attack and the two draw their guns. But it is one of the Felton kids. He gets scared
when he sees the gun and runs. Next, Callen and Hana go to Arcady’s house and find the guard
lying dead on the stairs. They then see that two men are trying to drown Arcady in his pool. They
shoot them down. Arcady tells them that Miller’s father was a friend and that she wanted out.
So he tried to help and he thinks that her handler must have found out. He doesn’t know who
her handler is. He says that the two men lying dead in front of them worked for Miller’s handler.
Meanwhile, the neighborhood finds Miller’s body. Deeks and Kensi talk to Paulina and she tells
them that the dinner needs to be cancelled.
Kensi sees Hobbs and tries to go to talk to him. Just then Jane accuses Deeks for scaring her
son. But they tell the mother how her son shattered their glass with his sling shot. By the time
this is resolved, Kensi loses Hobbs again. At the lab, Eric and Nell tell the duo that they two men
they shot earlier were connected to the Russian mob, but no connection with Kroyov or Miller.
Meanwhile, Deeks is jogging in the neighborhood, picking up Wi-Fi signals. He meets Bob and
Rob and they plan on meeting for dinner sometime. He returns home and finds that the music
system is in it’s full blast. Just then he finds bloody prints on the floor. But it turns out that
Kensi is having a bath and she had cut her foot on a piece of glass.
Meanwhile, Callen and Hana are in one of the dead men’s house. They find a lot of ammunition,
fake passports and money. Next, Deeks and Kensi are visiting Paulina and Brett for dinner.
Kensi tells Deeks that she is not able to get a read on them. She points out that Paulina is trying
to flirt with Deeks because she thinks that they are trying to throw them off. They snoop around
a bit when Brett and Paulina go to get some wine. Meanwhile, at the house, Sam finds the camera
that has Deeks’ and Kensi’s pictures in it. They have been made. Brett and Paulina are giving
the two the grand tour of their house. Deeks receives the message from Callen. They draw their
guns. But they find out that the surprise that awaits them was a kinky set up by the couple, a
sex dungeon. Kensi and Deeks leave. On their way back, two people fire at them.
It is Rob and Bob and yes they have been made. Kensi and Deeks try to get to a car. Just the
Hobbs opens his door and lets them in. But Rob and Bob enter through the kitchen door. But
the helpful Hobbs turns out to be Alex, Miller’s handler. Kensi gets her shot at Bob and Rob and

Deeks cuffs Hobbs/Alex. Well, the hand cuffs were taken from Paulina’s sex dungeon; a leopard
print. At the office, they discuss about Alex and then leave for the day. But it is not over for

Summary: Motivated by revenge, the Chameleon once again challenges the NCIS
team after an undercover assignment sets in motion a deadly mind
game devised by the criminal mastermind.
The episode begins with a guy, enjoying
his drive when suddenly there is another
car that drives up behind him and
deliberately bangs into his car. A chase
follows and later on the guy who is being
followed is killed by the bald guy who
was following him. But as the bald chap
is about to get into his car, he too is shot
from a car that is standing at a distance.
Next, at the office, the guys are having
their usual chit chat, when Eric signals
them to come in to the computer room,
announcing the new case. The guy who
was being chased is Conrad weaver and
the bald guy who was chasing him is Earl
Mayfield. They both were in Point Blank shooting range which is an FFL, Federal Firearms licensed
facility. Richard Mayfield is Point Blank’s proprietor and also earl’s uncle. Earl is an exarmy
ranger and a suspected mercenary.
The others that are employed are Richard’s brother Blake, cousin Neil and step daughter
Mara. Family that shoots together stays together. There is a new employee at Point Blank, Agent
Renko. For some reason Renko is undercover in Point Blank. Hetty is trying to find out more
about Renko’s case handler. Eric tells the team that there was a text on Earl’s phone saying that
205

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
Renko is not what he seems to be. Nell says that they did send a coded message to Renko’s cell
but there is no response. Hetty tells her team that before Renko’s cover is blown, they should get
him out of PB. They all go to PB. Deeks and Kensi are at the shooting arena, while Callen and
Hana go to the weapon store. Callen finds Renko there and he drops a hint. Renko gets out and
is about to leave. But just then Blake comes and stops Renko from leaving. Deeks informs Callen
that there is trouble and Renko has been made. A gun fight ensues and all the Mayfield men are
killed by our team. Mara is arrested and Renko is safe. But just then there is a shot fired and
Renko is killed. The cops and the NCIS team are not able to see the shooter. They rush Renko to
the hospital.
Hetty is angry as the team failed to secure the area. Hetty asks the team to report to Ops,
but Kensi volunteers to stay back with Renko. Neil Mayfield is in the hospital but in a coma.
Mara is their only source of intel. She wouldn’t speak, so they check her hard drive. They look
at the security footage of the incident. They infer the killer who shot Renko is trained. Just then
Granger arrives. Hetty asks him to talk to the team as she doesn’t want to answer his questions.
She is irritated that she isn’t able to access Renko’s file. Realization dawns upon her and she
figures out that Granger is his handler. Granger tells Hetty that they received a tip saying that
Richard’s business was dirty and that he was supplying weapons to a small terrorist ground.
Renko was new and so he was telling time. The only thing Granger knows that the buyer was
supposed to text Richard about the time and the place for the deal to take place.
At the lab, Eric tells them that there were two other employees in PB; Paul Manning and Walter
Henderson. Paul was arrested the previous day by LAPD for DY. When in the army, Walter was
enrolled for a sniper program but was washed out for misconduct. In the lab, when team is
trying to link all the murders from the beginning, Kensi calls. She informs Hetty that Renko had
a cardiac arrest after surgery and the doctors couldn’t save him. Renko is no more. Next, Callen
and Hana interrogate Mara. She tells them that the accounting books go back to 2003. On the
surface everything looks legit but actually it is not. Mara says that she has a kid and a lot of
financial liabilities. Rich knew that and he paid her to keep her mouth shut. Nell tells Granger
and Hetty that the deal is supposed to happen soon but she could not trace the call as it was a
burn phone.
Just then Eric gets a hit where he tells them that the other employee Walter just checked into
a motel. Callen and Hana go to the motel. The motel owner tells the duo that Walter is a psycho;
exactly what Mara had told them about Walter. They go to the room and find Walter lying on the
floor in a pool of his own blood; he has been shot dead. Now, none of this makes sense. Granger
thinks that there could be some other reason for Renko to be killed. Maybe it had nothing to do
with PB. Just then there is a text on Rich’s phone stating that time and address for the deal.
Mara tells them that probably the earlier deals were bogus and she thinks that Richard hid the
weapons.
Mara tells them that there was some problem with the back stop at the shooting range.
Normally Richard would ask someone to deal with hit but this time he took care of it himself.
The team goes to the shooting range and they find the hidden weapons. Next, Hetty tells the team
that they will cover the area where the deal is supposed to go down. Granger says that the team
will not be able to cover the entire area. But Hetty insists. Hana, Callen, Deeks and Kensi go to
the decided spot. Just then three guys walk up to them and tells them that their boss has gone
to get some coffee and that he will write out the check in a while. All of them realize that the
three guys are phonies. One of them tells Callen that a man named Carlo picked them up and
told them that they could get some extra cash by simply helping him with some crates. Carlo
also wanted the three guys to stop the team and delay them. The guy Jeff tells Callen that his
guy was using a rental truck.
Callen calls Nell and asks her to check. The get a hit but the driver’s face cannot be seen.
Nell tells Callen that either the driver is really lucky or he exactly knows where the cameras are.
Callen asks Nell about the shootings that happened. Nell tells them that all of them were shot in
their jaw. Callen puts things together and he figures out who the real guy is; it is the Chameleon.
Eric tells Callen that the GPS of the truck is on and he tells him the location. The four arrive
at the place. They see the Chameleon standing right in front of them. The four get out of the
car. Just then the Chameleon’s phone rings and Callen asks him to drop the phone. But the
Chameleon still answers it.
They hear a voice screaming ’HELP ME’. At a distance, there is a car and there is a woman in
206

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
it. Her hands are duct taped to the steering wheel. The woman is Lauren Hunter. The Chameleon
disconnects the call and the car blows up! The Chameleon surrenders. Next, Hetty is in the
morgue with two dead bodies lying in front of her. Hetty is talking to Lauren’s ghost. Lauren asks
her if Hetty is angry, but she tells Lauren that she feels like she is drowning. Hetty tells Lauren
she is number four and that there are three others. Lauren wants to know if Hetty talks to them
too. ’From time to time’. Just then Granger walks in and tells Hetty that none of this makes
sense. The Chameleon leads them there and then surrenders himself. He hasn’t spoken a word
yet. He is going to hand him over to Callen.

Summary: The third season concludes with the team being drawn into a deadly
mind game with a master criminal motivated by revenge.
The episode begins and Callen is interrogating
The Chameleon. But he doesn’t
answer to any of Callen’s questions. Just
then Kensi walks in and asks them to
spare a minute. The Chameleon asks
Callen the time. He tells Callen that exactly
after six hours; he will be walking
out of this place and Callen will be holding
the door for him. Next, Granger informs
Callen that NSA Kelvin Atley has
gone missing. Atley had accessed a file
code named ’Cherokee’. It is actually a
cover name for a person who has information
about the top most military secrets.
They believe that The Chameleon
has Atley. Callen goes back in the interrogation room and asks the Chameleon about Atley. The
Chameleon instead tells them about the Mayfield.
He had set them up so that he could get Renko’s attention. The series of incidents was like a
game of chess for the Chameleon. He countered each and every move made by Callen. He then
gives Callen a login id and a password to a particular file. Eric tells them that it is a public
website where the files are uploaded and anyone with the password can download the files. The
password he gave Callen is Muley Hasan. The file is a video file. The video has Lauren Hunter
talking on the Chameleon’s behalf, where she tells them that the Chameleon is a French national
209

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
and his name is Marseille Jean Vier, also he has Atley. She says that if he doesn’t get what he
wants then he will put Atley in the market and sell him to the highest bidder. He wants 50 million
dollars deposited in his account by today afternoon. After saying this, Lauren tells something in
a different language.
The Chameleon hits her and the video ends. So now, it is clear that the Chameleon wants to
do a prisoner exchange. He wants to be set free in exchange of Atley. Now, the language Lauren
spoke in is Romani and it is a cell phone number; it is a burn phone and the GPS is switched off
and it was activated 3 days ago. Callen doesn’t want them to release the Chameleon. Grager tells
him that it is not a choice that they could make right away. Next, Callen asks the Chameleon
as to how did he get to Atley. He tells them that he got to Atley the same way he got to the rest.
Everyone has a weakness. Callen and Hana figure out that if they don’t buy Atley, Iran will. Next,
Eric gets a signal on the burn phone. He gives the team the address. But Granger doesn’t want
Callen to go as he wants him to keep the pressure on Jean Vier.
Callen stays back and the other three leave. They arrive at the warehouse. Meanwhile, the
Chameleon tells Callen that he needs to know his opponent’s next move before he does. Callen
realizes that sending the team to the warehouse is a trap. He tells Eric to recall the team. Eric
does that and the three try to escape. The warehouse blows up. Deeks and Kensi are fine but they
don’t see Hana anywhere. But our big guy stumbles out from the backside of the warehouse; they
are relieved to see that Hana is safe. Callen is furious. He tells the Chameleon to try pulling the
trigger on him. Callen then has the gun pointed on Chameleon. Hetty arrives and asks Callen to
stand down. Hetty wants to know whether Chameleon spoke Roman and he says that he doesn’t
as well as she does. So, he knew what Lauren said in the video and he used the number to set
them up. Hetty is in pain. Lauren was her favorite.
She knew her for thirty years. She asks Callen if he saw her face before she died and if she was
afraid. Callen tells her that Lauren was angry and defined; but she was also afraid. Callen doesn’t
want to let Chameleon walk out of this place and Hetty tells him that they don’t have a choice.
Next, Eric checks the video footage in that area after the bomb was detonated. There is a car that
jumped the red light. Eric begins to tell the license plate number, and Deeks completes it. How
did he know? Because he is staring right at it! They walk towards the car and two guys from the
crowd gathered around the warehouse, make a run for their lives. They chase the Mercedes. Eric
finds out that the car is registered to the Israeli Consulate! Not good! He informs Hana. Granger
tells Hana to cut them loose. Their identities have been verified by the State Department. Hana
is irritated.
After hanging up the phone, Hana pretends that they are going to arrest them for attempt
of murder. But they tell him that they were only looking for some- a French national! The last
place they saw him was the warehouse; so they came back and staked it out. But they had no
idea that the building was wired. But there is more that Deeks manages to get from them- the
SD card from their camera. They are going to be really pissed. They check the photos. It appears
that The Chameleon has got himself a new crew. But there is also a mystery man. But no clear
shot and hence cannot be identified. They try to track down their cars. They get a hit and tell the
team the location. They arrive at the condo. Kensi tells Callen that the condo manager identified
Kelvin Atley and that he is on the eighteenth floor and there are seven others.
They barge into the room but find the seven guys dead; and Atley is missing. Just then Kensi
sees a message on the wall and alerts the others. It says: ’CHECK’. Meanwhile, Eric and Nell try to
find out information about the mystery man. Next, Granger tells Hetty that the authorities aren’t
happy with the way the Israeli agents were treated and they also mentioned a missing SD card.
Just then the team arrives and Granger announces that the exchange will take place. Callen is
pissed and thinks that Renko and Lauren died for nothing. Before the argument between Granger
and Callen could get heated, Eric butts in with the information about the mystery man. His name
is Nazeem Vaziri and he is Iranian. NSA believes that he has close ties with Iranian Intelligence.
Callen and Hana tells Granger that the Chameleon would have told Vaziri the name that Atley
knows and he is going to get paid.
Also, he will be paid by them as per his demand; Chameleon gets paid from both sides. Hettey
tells Eric to check for any fund transfers into the Chameleon (Jean Vier’s) account. Granger puts
his foot down and tells that they are running out o time and that they have no other plan. Hetty
says that she is sorry. Next, Granger walks into the room with Callen and gives the Chameleon
all the documents and a phone as per his demand. He makes a call to confirm the transfer. He
210

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
then destroys the phone and puts it in a glass of water. He walks out. The four are driving along
with the Chameleon. He gets them to the place where they can get back Atley.
There are news channels present. It is a strategic move. He tells Callen that Atley is in the
SUV across the park. Kensi and Deeks leave the car to get Atley and Hana and Callen stay back
in the car with the Chameleon. Kensi and Deeks see Atley, but he is drugged. Eric hacks into
Chameleon’s bank account and there is a transfer for 50 million dollars from Tehran, Iran. So,
Callen was right. Meanwhile, at the park, Callen is not ready to let Marseille Jean Vier (The
Chameleon) walk away this time. He pulls the trigger on the Chameleon and finally he is dead.
Callen is arrested and the entire footage is on the television. Hetty tenders her resignation that
she was supposed to in 2010. With a heavy heart, Hetty sees one of her best agents being taken
away by the cops.

Summary: Following Callen’s public shooting of the Chameleon on last season’s
finale cliffhanger, all is not well with the team, as Callen is placed on
suspension and Hetty adjusts to retired life.
The episode begins with Callen walking
out of prison after spending a night.
Hana is waiting for him. He tells Callen
that he has been suspended and Hetty
has resigned. Callen tells Hana that he
didn’t have to come. Hana points out that
they have got some company across the
street; Callen sees the vehicles parked
across. Hana is pissed at what Callen
said. Callen gets into a cab and leaves.
One of the vehicles follows the cab. Hana
crosses the street and asks Vaziri what
he is doing there. He warns Vaziri to stay
away from Callen. Next, we see that Eric
is trying to stop Callen’s arrest video from
going viral. But a new one keeps popping up. Granger is on the phone with his superior.
Granger tells Hana that the Agency has started a misinformation campaign to prove to the
Iranians that Atley’s information was wrong. Also, Director Vance wants to know why one of his
agents shot an unarmed man. He also tells Hana that the CIA is looking for someone to take
the blame. And if they don’t deliver, they would be shut down. Kensi and Deeks go into the
interrogation room to talk to Atley. And they tell him that the CIA is really keen to talk to him.
So, if he tells them what he knows, he doesn’t have to talk to the CIA. Atley says that he wants
indemnity from prosecution. He then tells them that he only gave the Iranians Cherokee’s name,
not the file.
He also says that he downloaded all the encrypted conversations between Cherokee and Langley;
it proves that Cherokee was a spy for the CIA. It also lists the names of all the informants
who worked covertly for the US in Iran. The file is in a safety deposit box in LA ad Jean Vier and
the Iranians know about the file. He then tells them the location of the key to the safety deposit
215

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
box. Next, Granger goes to meet Hetty on her yacht. He tells her that Iran is paranoid about the
fact that CIA is trying to set them up. He updates her with all the information he just received.
Hetty says that she wants out of this spy game and asks Granger to leave.
He leaves, but as he is leaving, we see that someone is clicking their pictures. Next, Callen
is enjoying his swim in the ocean and Vaziri is waiting for him on the shore. He wants to know
about the file and Callen tells him that he is not Atley. Vaziri asks Callen to state his price, but
Callen walks away. Hana is watching all this from a distance. Next, Eric tells the team that a
car that is registered to one of Vaziri’s company is spotted outside the bank which has the file.
Granger tells them that they need to secure the file before the Iranians get to it; else they all
might have to look for another job. Next, we see that Hetty drops her plans of sailing into the
Atlantic and walks back; only to find Hosein Khadem waiting for her.
She always knew the reports of his death were fake as they were clearly exaggerated. Hetty
talks about the current scenario and she finds out that Khadem knows too much. Khadem invites
her for a cup of tea; but she declines. She then sees Vaziri in Khadem’s car. She knew that she
have never trusted Khadem. She then asks Hana to come out; she knew he was hiding behind
the tree as he is keeping an eye on Vaziri. Hana tells her that Langley is breathing down Granger’s
neck, looking for someone to blame. He then tells her about the file and that if they don’t find it,
the unit will be shut down. She tells Hana to go back home and that Callen and her, are on their
own. Hetty then walks into a bar, where Callen is waiting for her.
Vaziri and Khadem also arrive at the bar, but she tells Callen to ignore them. She tells them
that Iran id paranoid that they have got the wrong spy and Vaziri is trying to confirm that Atley
has given them the right name. She then tells him how she knows Khadem and how he became
an enemy from being an ally. She is now waiting for Khadem to make the first move. Callen loses
it. He walks up to Vaziri and tells him that he will state his price; he wants Vaziri to keep Khadem
away from Hetty. In return he would tell him the name of the spy in Tehran; Cherokee. Next,
Granger tells the team that a call has been intercepted, where Vaziri informed Iran that an NCIS
agent has confirmed the name of the spy. Now, CIA is demanding Callen’s immediate arrest and
this has come from the Sec-Nav.
So, if they want to help themselves and Callen, they need to get the file. Next, Deeks and
Kensi are entering the bank; they have managed to secure the key from its hiding place. Sam
is also outside the bank and so are the Iranians. Kensi pulls off an amazing act and the bank
guy is totally distracted by her. Deeks takes advantage of this and he gets to the safety deposit
box. He secures a USB. Both of them leave the bank. But Eric tells them that the Iranians are on
the move; someone from the bank must have tipped them off. They have got backup; so, Plan B.
They run. They run to the parking lot and a gun fight ensues. Hana comes to their rescue. While
running towards their car, Deeks drops the briefcase he had with him.
Hana tells him to leave it and they drive off. Eric, Granger and Nell watch the Iranians get hold
of the briefcase. Next, Deeks tells Kensi and Hana that the arrest warrant for Callen just went
out. Eric informs the team that something major went down in Tehran after they received Atley’s
USB and 30 minutes ago they sent an encrypted email to Vaziri Granger wants that decrypted d
Eric says that they aren’t allowed that level of access where they could look over NSA’s shoulders
as they decrypt it. Granger asks him to ’just do it’. Eric manages to hack into the NSA’s systems.
The message reads that Vaziri needs to get back to Callen for confirming conflicting information
and take ’necessary measures’.
Since Vaziri got the message 30 minutes ago, Granger knows that they are too late to rescue
Callen. Next, we see that Vaziri has got Callen. Callen tells him the same thing that he told him
earlier. Vaziri is pissed and asks Khadem to kill Hetty. Callen asks him to stop. He then tells him
that all this was a lie and a conspiracy by the CIA to eliminate the man they fear the most as
he cannot be bought. Atley then traded this information with Jean Vier. Vaziri tells him that the
whole world saw Callen killing Jean Vier. Callen tells him that the only one who can tell him the
whole truth is Jean Vier himself; he is alive! Cut to Granger and Hana telling Jean Vier that it is
time to go for a ride.
Callen tells Vaziri that they staged his murder so that Vaziri would believe that he had nothing
to lose. He now offers another trade; him for Jean Vier; the man Tehran paid 50 million dollars
for the false information. They agree to the trade. Vaziri arrives at the decided spot with Callen
and Hana arrives with Jean Vier. Callen and Jean Vier walk past each other, and Callen says,
’Checkmate’. Hana gives Callen his badge and gun. Hetty rejoins work. Time for an operational

de-brief: Cherokee has been released and promoted for his troubles. His specific duty now on is
to protect the Tehran government from foreign spies.
The Agency wants to know why they worked up this audacious plan and didn’t include them
in it!! cut to the flashback where Hetty devices the last part where she fakes her resignation and
Callen will shoot Jean Vier; the only way to make them believe. At the bank, Deeks had replaced
the USB with another one and all they had to do was make sure it fell into the Iranian hands.
Before Granger leaves he tells Hetty that there is one problem; body washed up at the Marina
this morning, Hosein Khadem. He was shot; guess he had a fall out with Vaziri. Hetty smiles; she
asks Granger that they could talk over a cup of tea, or maybe something stronger.

Summary: A drone strike on a bomb-making compound in Afghanistan reveals
the body of a recently retired Marine, leaving the NCIS:LA team to
investigate why the Marine returned to Afghanistan and whether or
not he betrayed the country he fought for.
The episode begins with three men
getting out of a vehicle and entering a
small building; this is in Afghanistan.
Their movements are being watched by
the marines. The marines have a positive
id on target AAA and launch an attack on
the building. One of the targets exits the
building and the building blows up. The
man runs away. Next, Callen is standing
at his sister’s grave and Hetty tells him
that he should replace the hedge stone
with the correct name. He tells her that
this helps him pretend to think that his
sister is out there somewhere. Sam has
got a new chair and he wants his old one
back. Eric says that it is gone for charity.
Sam is not okay with it and wants Eric to get back his old chair. Well, it is on its way to
a girls’ school in Nigeria. Sorry Sam! Sam throws his chair to the ground and breaks it!! Next,
Nell educates the team about Adnan Al-Ahmadi; also known as AAA. He is a bomb maker for
Al-Qaeda. He nearly escaped a drone strike. When they checked the place, they identified the
remains of a lot of his associates and one of them is an American Marine; David Adams. His
investment ended 18 months ago and so he isn’t supposed to be in the Middle East. They need to
find out what he was doing in Afghanistan. Adams comes from a highly decorated Marine family.
The family is refusing to accept that David was in Afghanistan; let alone that he is dead.
Callen and Sam go to talk to Marine officer Denise Young. Young tells them that Ahmadi has
always been one step ahead of them and that they have recovered documents from him which
show that he has in depth knowledge of their operational procedures. Fortunately most of them
are outdated but they are all classified. And that could have gone to them only through someone
219

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
from the Marine unit. They suspect David. But Sam says that David did not display any such
tendencies when he was in the core. So, why turn traitor now? Kensi and Deeks are talk to
David’s parents and his mother tells them that David was glad that his tour ended. He liked
being a Marine but he was eager to start a new chapter of his life.
His father tells them that he promised them that he would return in one piece. David loved
his girlfriend to death and was also planning to join school. So there is no way that he would
have gone back to Afghanistan. He doesn’t know much about what David did as it was mostly
classified. Deeks asks him that if it wasn’t David, who was killed, then where is his son? Eric
and Nell find out that eight days ago, David took his first flight from LA to Cincinnati and then
changed multiple flights till he arrived Abu Dhabi. Meanwhile, Kensi, Deeks, Sam, and Callen
try to figure out why David went back to Afghanistan. They think that since David had access to
a lot of intel, he probably went to make profit out of something he found.
Eric calls Callen and tells him that they found proof that David went to Abu Dhabi but haven’t
found out how he got into Afghanistan. Also, there was a $2500 deposit made into his account
that originated in Dubai. Deeks and Kensi go to talk to David’s girlfriend, Mary Clark. Mary is
sure that there is no reason for David to go back to his Afghanistan. They tell Mary that David
quit his job two weeks ago. Mary tells them that David got a new job in Alaska in an oil company.
He changed his job as she is pregnant and that David thought that they are going to need more
money now. He didn’t tell his parents anything as he was waiting for the right time. Callen and
Sam then talk to Jason Smith, a man who took two tours with David to Afghanistan.
Smith tells them that David was very sympathetic towards the Afghanis and thought that they
required a lot of help; but he was not a traitor. Smith thinks that if David went to Afghanistan
without telling anyone then his first guess is that David was working for the CIA. Hetty gets off
the phone and tells her team that Langley swears that David was not working for the CIA. Eric
and Nell find out that David was hired by a company named ATAMA, which provides security
and protection all over the world. It is a private security firm; high pay for a dangerous job and
that is why David did not tell anybody about his new job. Hetty tells her team to turn the heat
up at ATAMA security. Callen and Sam go to the security company.
The place is empty. They announce themselves and a guy begins shooting at them. Nice
customer service! They manage to tackle the guy and take him to the office. His name is Danny
Levian. Danny tells them that he only answers the phones and there is no one else in the office.
There is another guy named Jones who also is in the office; but he hasn’t seen him since last
week. Callen tries to intimidate him and asks him about David. But Danny denies recognition.
Meanwhile, Eric and Nell are at the ATAMA office. They soon figure that an ATAMA security is a
scam; but that still doesn’t explain why David was in Afghanistan. Eric and Nell update the team
that four of the employees of ATAMA were former military and the rest are missing. These guys
were never heard from after reaching Dubai.
They claim that they are a decade old company, Eric still hasn’t been able to trace their
origins before the last three months, and he still couldn’t find out where they are based. So it is a
glorified company for identity thefts; but someone still wired money to these guys. Why? It turns
out that they aren’t only stealing identities; they are stealing people and supplying them to people
like Ahmadi. Callen and Sam tell Hetty that they want to go to Dubai. After a bit of reluctance,
Hetty agrees. In Dubai, a man is waiting for someone named John Harris. Hetty, Nell, and Eric
are watching them through the button cameras that are installed on the team. Sam stops Harris
from reaching this man and Callen walks up to this guy as John Harris. But he doesn’t buy it.
Deeks tases the man and Kensi takes him away on a wheel chair. But all this is done smoothly
and no one in the crowded airport senses anything wrong. They bring the man to a desert and
ask him about Ahmadi and threaten to kill him if he doesn’t co-operate. Next, they drive to a
torn down building. Callen is sitting next to that man with his gun aimed at him. Sam gets off
the running vehicle and sneaks into that building. Callen introduces himself as John Harris.
Ahmadi senses that something isn’t right. Just then a woman (Kensi) arrives wearing a burkha
and Deeks arrives in a cab. A gun fight ensues and the team has Ahmadi and Omar, the guy
from the airport, at their gun point.
Hetty is happy with her team’s work. The team is on their flight back home, and Deeks is
showing his vacation photos to Kensi. She isn’t interested in seeing them at all. She is glad when
Sam shows interests in seeing those pictures and she gets up and sits next to Callen. Hetty is in
the ops area and she turns on the surveillance screen. She sees that Kensi is sleeping on Callen’s

Summary: When four people are killed in an explosion at a diner, NCIS is brought
into to investigate as they were linked to a classified project. Kensi
finds herself sympathizing with a teenager that is related to the investigation.
The episode begins with three men at
a diner, and a fourth one enters. They assume
that he is the one who invited them;
but it turns out that the new guy was invited
as well. He confirms the code ’Echo
1’ and then takes the seat. The waiter
comes to take the order and the new guy
orders in Spanish. But the waiter doesn’t
follow Spanish and so he translates it into
English. One of them clicks a picture of
the group and the last guy isn’t too excited
about being on a blog or the internet.
Just then they notice that there
is no one in the diner and seconds later
the diner explodes. At the office, Deeks is
running late and Kensi tells them that he went to Vegas last night.
She ratted him out! Deeks arrives and starts sparring with Sam when Callen receives a call
from the ops. Eric briefs them about the latest case. He shows the team the pic the guy took at
the diner and tells them that the four bodies were pulled out from the diner. Sam knows that the
diner was closed down last year and now it has been open without the land owner’s permission.
So, who are these guys and who did they piss off? The group consists of a millionaire, a college
student, a grandfather, and a guy who was licensed to drive a bull-dozer. Connections? They all
followed a twitter account linked to the naval intelligence. Eric states that they all got invited to
the diner which either means that there was an ambush created by the navy or their account is
being hacked.
Why is the naval account on twitter? Navy was working on a project and the intelligence was
hiring high IQ individuals to check the integrity of the project. Operation Wide Awake is classified
and the four victims were the elite on the project and they were referred as Group Echo 1. Callen
223

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
and Sam go to meet the man behind the project who also wants to brief the two of them. The guy
tells them that on the surface, Wide Awake looks like a strategy game, but it is actually designed
to check the possible ways a lone person or a group of people can pose a threat to the nation.
He four people did not know each other and it is surprising that despite the precautions, their
account id hacked. But he also reveals that the Echo 1 group consisted of five members; so the
fifth member, Mike Hoffman is still out there.
Next, Deeks and Kensi go to Mike’s apartment. Deeks plans to go to Vegas with Kensi. Initially
she refuses but when he challenges her, she agrees. When they arrive the building, a girl runs
past them. They go to the apartment and they see bloodstains on the wall. Kensi’s jacket is
also stained. Kensi follows the girl while Deeks heads to the apartment. Kensi loses the girl and
Deeks finds a man lying dead on the floor. There is no id on the man. Deeks feels that given the
circumstances, the girl looks pretty guilty. But Kensi says that they don’t know anything about
her. Callen and Sam arrive at the scene. Kensi finds out that this man isn’t Hoffman.
Callen says that since Hoffman wasn’t killed at the diner like the rest, maybe this man was
sent to finish the job. Kensi sees a photograph pinned up on the board and states that the girl’s
name is Astrid and she clearly knew Hoffman. Eric calls in and states tha Hoffman was a loner.
Nell confirms that the group did not know each other; so this makes Hoffman the next probable
victim. Callen and Sam go to meet the head of Wide Awake, Mathers. He doesn’t recognize the
picture Sam and Callen show him. He tells them that he has been getting some help from one
of his friends, George Toretto, who is an analyst at Pentagon. He was supposed to compare the
pentagon’s classified threat matrix results with the results of Wide Awake.
But the problem is Toretto didn’t give him the results. They tell him that they are going to
raise the security of the building. On their way out, they see Astrid at the security check. But
when they call out to her, she runs and manages to get away. Nell tells Kensi and Deeks that
the neighbors started seeing Hoffman and Astrid together a couple of months back but they kept
it to themselves and nothing of importance was found in her apartment. Kensi thinks that she
might be carrying a gun and she might have not been aware of security protocols. That is why
when the metal detector went off, she ran. Eric says that Hoffman’s laptop has been wiped clean
by a pro but he did find Wide Awake’s latest gaming application in it.
Callen and Sam find out that Torreto’s bank account shows a deposit of $100,000, 5 days
ago; all cash! Sam thinks someone is paying Toretto to sabotage the program. They arrive at
Torreto’s building. Someone seems to have tipped him as Toretto escapes and the guy who
was following him, rams into a truck, and gets killed. At the office, Nell identifies the body
in Hoffman’s apartment, as Max Naylor with some priors and the driver who was killed also
had some experience in demolition. Kensi states that Astrid might know something about Wide
awake and hence she showed up at the naval office. Eric tells them that he has got a signal from
Hoffman’s phone. They dial the number and Astrid answers the call and then disconnects it.
Kensi is very empathetic towards Astrid. She talks to Astrid and tries to befriend her. Astrid
mentions something about poker and tells her where Hoffman is at the moment. They lose her
once again. Callen asks Nell to check Hoffman’s financials and it appears that Hoffman has a
bit of a gambling problem; seems like a motive! Hetty tells Nell to play operation Wide awake as
she has a high IQ and she could figure out what those four men did, after which they got killed.
The team then heads to the Casino from where the last withdrawals were made from Hoffman’s
account. They find Hoffman in the casino and get hold of him. Eric calls Callen and tells them
that Mathers is gone. Next, Kensi and Deeks interrogate Hoffman and find out that Astrid was the
one who used his laptop and also probably the one who played Wide Awake as she is extremely
intelligent.
She also never lost a game of poker. He thinks she is his daughter. Sam doubts that Astrid
suffers from asperger’s. Callen points out that only two people had access to Hoffman’s data;
Toretto and Mathers. Nell tells Hetty that once the final level is reached, operation Wide Awake
doesn’t work. Hetty finds it unlikely that Mathers did not know about this. Callen and Sam go
to Mather’s house and find that someone broke into Mather’s house. It is Toretto. Toretto tells
them that Mathers is trying to kill him. He says that Hoffman realized that Wide Awake was a
failure and he had emailed Mathers about it.
Mathers was worried that the rest of the group would learn that as well and so he lured them
into the diner and killed them. Since Toretto was supposed to compare the results, he too knew
about the failure. That is why Mathers paid him to keep quiet. But now, he doesn’t know where
224

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
Mathers is. Eric and Nell tell Deeks and Kensi that Astrid tried to reach Mathers. Kensi knows
that of Mathers finds her, he will kill her. They figure out that Mathers is at the same casino
where Hoffman was found.
The team arrives at the casino and the find Mathers. They follow him and they are shocked
to find Astrid aiming her gun at Mathers. Kensi takes charge and convinces Astrid into lowering
her weapon. Mathers is arrested. Case closed. Next, Kensi and Astrid bond over a game of poker.
Hetty joins them. She asks Astrid whether she is feeling lucky.

Summary: It’s an issue of national security as the NCIS team investigates whether
the death of a U.S. senatorial candidate’s staffer was an accident or a
murder.
The episode begins with Clay talking
on the phone with Tom telling him that
he wants to talk to Monica. He tells him
that he doesn’t like the neighborhood as
it feels like a war zone. As he is about to
cross the road, he is run over by a car;
it looks like a hit and run. Two people
from the pizzeria Clay had just visited,
witness the accident. Next, Callen, Hetty
and Sam are working out and Nell realizes
that Hetty is a political ’junkie’. She
is about to discuss about the Presidential
debate that will be held tonight and
she says that she will if she is in front
of the TV. The group warns Nell against
discussing politics with Hetty.
Granger calls Callen. He is waiting for the team in ops. He shows them the recorded footage of
Clay’s accident and tells them that he died on impact. Clay worked for Monica Tenez, who is running
for Senator. So, why is a hit and run case an NCIS case? Well, Granger shows them footage
where they see that the car that hit Clay arrived at the scene and waited for Clay to appear.
Granger wants them to find out if this murder had to do something with Tenez’s Campaign and
are the others in danger as well. And if it is, it is an issue of national security. Clay lived alone
and Callen tells Kensi to check out Clay’s house with Deeks. Kensi find that Clay was working
on his resume; looks like he was planning to quit; maybe because of Tenez was slipping on the
polls.
They wonder if his plans of quitting the campaign had something to do with his murder.
Callen and Sam visit the campaign office. Eric and Nell brief them about the guys involved in
the campaign. Jack Caldwell, the campaign manager. He has a 90% success rate and is disliked
227

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
by his opponents. Rebecca Collins heads Tenez’s fund raising campaigns. Andrew Ryan, head of
Security. They then talk to Tenez who happens to know the names of all her employees. She tells
them that Clay was liked by everybody. He used to mail receipts to the donors. She tells them
that Clay wanted to talk to her about something and that he called last night; but when she was
on the line, he wasn’t there. This was around 9.30 at night. She knows she has a lot of enemies;
and some of them wished that she would just ’go away’. As they leave, Lisa comes up to them
and tells them that Clay was scared of something that he found in the mail.
She hands over a picture to them which has five faces and KILL written across them; Tenez
is one of the faces. At the office, Nell knows that all the five faces are running for the Senate.
Granger asks Nell and Eric to find out what they have in common. Sam and Callen show Tenez
the picture and they advice her to ramp up the security. But, Ryan says that it is not necessary.
They also want access to their campaign servers. Caldwell says that this will take a week. Deeks
and Kensi go to meet Tenez’s opponent, Senator Dick Osborne. He knows about the list as it is
very difficult to keep secrets in this game. Osborne says that the reason he is able to beat Tenez
is that she is too nice and that makes her weak in politics.
He also tells them that ’a little birdie?’ told him that Tenez is planning to drop out of the race.
At the office, the entire team watches Tenez on TV where she says that she is not going to back
out from the race just because she is threatened. This one has some spirit! And Kensi thinks
that the country needs a politician of her kind. So, Hetty says that they need to get her out of
this. Eric and Nell find nothing in common between the five candidates (targets). Hetty feels that
they should place some in the campaign office; someone smart and irresistible; and that is Kensi.
Hetty knows that Kensi likes Tenez and so she needs to be extremely alert and not let her passion
cloud her judgment. Kensi then goes to the campaign office and Caldwell likes her confidence.
She then accidentally (intentionally) drops coffee on Caldwell and he goes in to change his
shirt. Taking advantage of the moment, she plugs in a drive on his computer and Eric downloads
all the files. Kensi gets the job of a ’glorified envelope licker’. She needs to post receipts to all the
donors. Nell finds a weird email sent to the office and one of them says that ’last night was just
the taste of what is to come’. Eric traces the IP and Callen and Sam arrest the guy. His name
is ED Mosker and he maintains a fringe blog, the Anarchist pastry book. He denies sending the
last message. He feels that someone has set him up or sent that message using his screen name.
Callen feels that he is telling the truth.
Deeks arrives and tells them that Caldwell has been making political promises for a good pay
and these promises are in conflict with Tenez’s position on those issues. At a campaign rally,
Kensi gets a chance to meet Tenez. She introduces herself as the ’new girl’. Kensi looks around
and sees a sniper at the top of the building and she quickly pushes Tenez to the ground. Tenez
realizes she isn’t an ordinary campaign worker and Kensi tells her that she is a Federal Agent.
Tenez gets back in her car and drives away. Later, Tenez declares to her team that she is dropping
out of the race as she doesn’t think that her campaign is worth losing another life. She is going
to declare it at the fund raiser tonight. Hetty feels that they have been focusing so much on the
outside threat that they failed to check the in-house threat; the campaign itself!
At the fund raiser, Kensi learns that today’s event was organized by Rebecca. Ryan tells her
that Rebecca hasn’t managed to raise enough funds and he is surprised that they have managed
to keep the lights on for this long, given the current state of things. Nell, Erica, Hetty and Granger
manage to get a peek into the financials of Tenez’s campaign and they find that the funds are
being reverted elsewhere. At the fund raiser, Kensi recalls the incident and realizes that Tenez
wasn’t the target at all; it was Rebecca. No one knew where she was except for the people in the
office. Nell finds out that there are two signatories on the second account where the money is
being reverted. One is Rebecca and the other is Lisa!
Lisa is after the money. At the fund raiser, Kensi takes Rebecca and Lisa to the kitchen. When
she learns that it was Lisa behind all this, she aims at Lisa. Lisa too has a gun on her. Lisa tries
to shoot at Kensi, but Kensi gets her shot at Lisa. Tenez arrives and Kensi tells her that it is all
over. Tenez says that it is not and leaves. Next, Kensi arrives to meet Hetty. They discuss the case
where Clay had found out about the money being reverted but didn’t know that Lisa was behind
it. And he turned to Lisa with his funding and Lisa took care of him. And she always planned to
kill Rebecca.
Kensi leaves and it is time for the Presidential debate. Hetty picks up the phone and tells the
person on the other side to direct the first question to the President!

Summary: When a CIA agent who worked with Sam Hanna over eight years ago
seeks his help and is soon found dead of an apparent suicide, Hanna
and Callen suspect foul play and a bigger conspiracy. Meanwhile,
Deeks finds his inner ”dog whisperer” with Kensi as the two go undercover
and enter a dog show with a prized poodle.
The episode begins with Sam receiving
a call from a blocked number. It is from a
guy named Frank Turner and he needs
his help. He tells Sam that he knows
where to find him. Sam then arrives at
an old building and enters a dark room
full of books and files. He then sees the
man hanging from the ceiling. Just then
a poodle walks out from behind one of
the desks. Next, Callen arrives and Sam
tells him that they were together in the
joint task force eight years ago. He has
no clue as to why Turner called him. Sam
wonders how he managed to hang himself
as there is no ladder around. Callen suggests
that he could have used one of the shelves; but Sam knows that Turner wasn’t an athletic
guy to use that shelf.
He wasn’t a CIA field agent, but more of a researcher. Just then a record starts playing and
lights get turned on. Sam mentions that Turner was a lot into crosswords and word games. Eric
arrives and isn’t too pleased to see the hanging man. That’s why he doesn’t leave ops. Eric tells
them that the street cameras and the security cameras went out when the power went out. He
then says that LADWP’s computer system is designed to stop a cyber terrorist attack. Callen
notices the blown door knob and wonders why someone would do that if he wanted to make this
look like suicide. Nothing is adding up! the transformer had blown up and Callen asks Eric to
check the camera on that site. Deeks and Kensi arrive. Deeks sees the poodle.
Sam knows that Turner was a highly trained CIA and was trained to live conspicuously. There
is no way the poodle could be his. Nell is looking for any missing reports on a poodle. Deeks goes
to send sometime with the poodle. Kensi finds it weird. Ever heard of the dog-whisperer? Next,
Eric looks at all the papers and wonders if there is a computer he could search. Turner was a
hard copy sort of a guy. Callen states that despite having retired, Turner was still gathering intel
229

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
on Al-Qaida, North Korea etc. Nell tells Callen that she went through the camera footages before
the power cut and noticed that Turner had a visitor that came over three times. She tracked
down the visitor; it is Megan Hendley, a flight attendant.
At the office, Deeks has scanned the microchip on the poodle and finds out that his previous
owner was Jason Young from Tarzana. Next, Sam and Callen go to Megan’s house and they see
her trying to escape. they follow her and she places a strong kick on Sam’s chest and aims her
gun at him. But Callen arrives and announces himself. She surrenders. Something tells Sam
that she isn’t just a flight attendant! Well, he is right. She is CIA and Callen confirms it. She tells
them that Turner has worked for the Agency for the last two years and they were romantically
involved. She knows that Turner is dead as she confirmed it from the morgue. Turner called her
yesterday and left a message. He also felt that she was in danger.
Megan tells them that Frank felt he was being surveilled. She tells them that Turner was
working on the Sinclair Project which was on during the end of the Cold war where the disclosure
of sleeper agents took place between the Presidents of US and Russia. So, this project was a
mission to find the sleeper agents and collect their weapons. She says everyone thought that
Turner was mad and no one wanted to hear what he had uncovered. Callen asks Sam the
mission he was working on with Turner. It was about an arms deal and he says that Turner was
spooked by something. The ME calls Sam. In the morgue, she tells them that she didn’t find any
signs of a struggle and all signs indicate a suicide.
But the headline is that she found a strip of cloth in Turner’s stomach. It has a code on it.
They take the strip back to Turner’s room and they find a baseball bat. Sam wraps the strip
around the bat. This was the technique used to send secret war messages and Turner knew that
Sam was studying warrior cultures! This message is indeed for Sam. Nell updates Deeks and
Kensi about Chaucer, the poodle. He was flown to Paris twice to breed and Turner bought him
a month ago and entered him into a dog show. This leads her to Robert Pierce, a dog groomer.
Maybe Turner used Chaucer to get close to Pierce. Pierce is one of the contestants in the dog
show. So, Deeks is now going to take Chaucer to the show.
Meanwhile, Eric tells Sam and Callen that Turner used a cipher but changed it a little. So
there has to be a key and since he didn’t use a computer and the message is for Sam, the key has
to be somewhere around. At the dog show, Pierce’s dog Uma puts up a great show and Deeks is
having a tough time. Kensi talks to Pierce. But then we see that Chaucer puts up a great show.
Kensi asks Pierce if they could let Chaucer breed with his dog. But he gets spooked and rushes
to leave. But Kensi announces herself and stops him. Pierce then tells them that his ex-boyfriend
was stalking him and so he hired a detective. He hired a detective who tells him that a man was
watching his house.
The picture is Turner’s. But Pierce is too young for Sinclair project. Eric then brings up
another code and they infer that Turner was looking for Pierce’s parents. Sam and Callen go
to meet Pierce’s parents and they talk to his father. His mother has Alzheimer’s. After a short
conversation, they leave, thinking that Turner was indeed paranoid and no way could that man
be a Russian sleeper agent. Callen notices a vehicle nearby and they wait around the corner to
see what’s up. They see few men get down and walk towards Pierce’s father’s house; they are
CIA. There is a gun fight and Pierce’s father comes out and takes down two agents. The rest flee.
Sam then tells him that they need to talk.
James tells them that he isn’t a Soviet agent. Nell gets an ID on the man from the vehicle
around Turner’s loft; Yuri Kozlov. Sam thinks that he s FSB. So something Turner was investigating
made the Russians nervous. Sam then notices that in one of the pictures, Koslov was
talking to Isaac Sidirov; the arms dealer the task force was monitoring when Turner and Sam
worked together. He was former FSB and is now an arms dealer. Hetty announces that there is
a problem as all this proves that the Sinclair project is real. CIA and NSA are already interested
in their investigation. So, why go after James? Callen knows that the FSB is never wrong. James
agrees to talk but he needs immunity and safety for his wife. Hetty grants it.
James then takes Sam and Callen to a room. He uncovers a nuclear bomb bigger than the one
used in Hiroshima. Carrying this heavy secret throughout one’s life isn’t easy! James then tells
Sam that he was born in Somalia and was taken to Russia when he was nine. Then he was sent
to Seattle with a new identity and profession. He was conditioned to detonate the bomb but when
he had a family he was persuaded not to. The agents take James away. Next, Callen and Sam
deduce that Sidirov was after the bomb which means there were more sleeper agents and more
230

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
bombs. Sidirov was looking for the agents and Turner wanted Sam to find them before Sidirov
does. They then figure out that Sidirov had found out about Turner and he was going to kill him.
Turner had the names in his head and he knew he would be tortured. So he did kill himself.
They then work the code and get the names of the sleeper agents. And the bombs are in eight
cities; the ones that were considered the largest in the 70’s and the 80’s. One of the guy’s facial
structures doesn’t match his childhood photo. Hetty asks Nell to call the national Security
Division of the FBI. She will talk to anyone who picks up the phone quickly.

Summary: As their investigation continues, evidence turns up that links the
death to a group of Russian agents. Sam’s deepest secret is at risk
of coming out.
The episode begins with Hetty walking
into the Operations and asking if they
have all seven cities online. Eric says Dallas
and Houston are audio only and the
rest they have. Since the status on all the
cities are Phase Line Green, she orders
the command to be executed. We see that
Deeks and Kensi are in San Diego. Kensi
walks towards a house with a package
and calls out to Mr. Andrews as his package
has been delivered to her house. But
no one is answering and Callen gives orders
to barge in. the whole team gets into
the house and find a man sitting on a
chair; dead. All the seven cities have just
one thing to report; TARGET DECEASED.
Looks like Andrews had been tortured and the FSBs made it look like they didn’t find what
they were looking for, when actually they might have found it. They are pros. Hetty tells them
that all the other nine sleeper agents in the other cities have been tortured. So, Sidirov has seven
different teams; seems like an expensive operation. So they need to haste up their investigation
before Sidirov gets to the bomb. Granger is in the ops and they brief him about Sidirov, who is
an arms dealer and how FSB hired him to investigate Turner. Sidirov learned about the sleeper
agents and now has this brilliant idea to get to the bombs.
Since FSB inherited the KGB files, they had a good chance of accessing the list of the agents.
Hetty thinks it is time to have a conversation with Arkady Kolcheck, a former KGB. Arkady tells
Callen and Sam that Sidirov has a wine fetish and Callen asks Eric to checkout some wine
storage facilities. Arkady gets worried when he learns that they have discovered a nuclear bomb.
233

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
Sam and Callen lave and they realize that they are being tailed. They then manage to corner their
tail and the guys draw guns each other. Sam knows one of the guys, Agent Snyder, CIA and was
with him in the task force. They don’t like each other. Snyder tells them that they need to get an
undercover agent into Sidirov’s gang and that too someone he trusts.
Sam says that they will co-operate only if this is a joint mission; else no deal. Snyder agrees.
In the ops, Sam tells Nell and Eric to call him first before they call Granger. Sam says that this
is personal and the two don’t want him to explain. Callen wants to know what this is all about.
Sam tells him that he, Turner and Snyder were together in the task force. Three other agents
were put undercover to get to Sidirov. But they didn’t get out alive. Snyder has a plan but he is
too careless about the lives of his agents. Sam says that they need to get close to Sidirov first so
that they can run this. But Callen knows that Granger won’t keep this from the CIA and he will
bring in Sidirov as soon as he knows about Sidirov.
At Andrew’s place, Nell tells Deeks and Kensi that there are no storage facilities in the nearby
area. Deeks sees that the cops have found heavy glass lifters in the belongings. What is a teacher
doing with those? Kensi asks Nell to pull up the house permits. There are no basements. Deeks
has an idea and he starts stomping the floor and asks the rest to do the same. One part of the
floor sounds different and they uses the suckers to lift that piece of the floor. In the ops, Nell and
Eric track an associate of Sidirov; Dmitri Greshnev. They then scanned the hotel footage where
Gresnev is staying and they find one where Sidirov arrives at the hotel. Granger arrives and asks
them to get in touch with Snyder.
Just then Kensi calls saying that they found something; it is a room under the floor. Deeks
says that it is a good thing that they found Sidirov; as he has got at least one bomb from Andrews’.
Granger wants them to inform the FBI about one missing bomb. Granger wants to inform Snyder.
Eric distracts him with the working of a 35 year old nuclear bomb while Sam talks to Hetty. Sam
wants them to place the agent so that they can keep the agent safe. The duo tells Hetty that they
need more time. Eric tells Granger that the bomb is definitely functional. The duo is planning to
meet Arkady again. Granger asks Hetty what is going on.
The duo asks Arkady about any man who wants to kill Sidirov and he tells them about
Kirkin, who control heroin trade in West Russia and Sidirov killed his brother. Sam asks the guy
who Kirkin used for hitting US and he tells him that his name is Varlamov; a professional and
proficient guy who takes care of Kirkin’s dirty business. They get to Victor Varlamov and tell him
that he killed a girl who his boss impregnated and wanted to rid of. Sam pulls a fake attack and
Victor takes that moment to flee. Kensi gets a pic of him running and Deeks tackles him on his
way out of the building. But they are all stumped when they see Granger. Granger tells Sam that
he has got his back. Hetty is going down the line for him and so is he.
Sam asks Callen if Quinn is ready. Who is Quinn? Well, she is what all this is about. Next,
Callen is on the roof with a rifle and Granger is outside the hotel. Deeks enters Sidirov’s room and
bugs it. Callen fires shots on the ground and Sidirov runs into the hotel. Two men are headed
towards Callen and Kensi. Callen walks past them and Kensi is on the phone telling the cops
that she saw a man running down the stairs. The men check her phone and see the video of
Victor running down the stairs. In the ops, they see that Sidirov recognizes Victor from the video
and wants Kirkin dead. He wants his lieutenant to hire a hit-man. Sam says that they need to
get in touch with Quinn fast.
He then checks with Nell who is preparing a rock solid fake for Sam. Sam tells Callen that
this is what he was afraid of. Next, we see that Sam is walking out of a prison and gets into a car
and kisses the woman waiting in the car. Someone is clicking his pictures. Quinn and Sam are
in bed and Sam says that it has been a long time since they made love like that. Guess marriage
changes everything. Sidirov’s men barge into the room searching for Quinn. Later, we see that
Quinn and Sam meet Sidirov and Quinn introduces Sam as David Forman and her partner and
he is very good. Sidirov tells her the job is to kill Kirkin and he doesn’t want to see Sam as he
doesn’t like him. He hates sharing his women. Sam walks away.
Next, Sam is frustrated and is punching at everything in the gym. He hasn’t heard from
Quinn. In the ops, the team learns that there are three bombs with Sidirov now. Granger arrives
with the news that a woman’s body has been found. But we then see that the dead woman is
Anna, the girl Sidirov was travelling with. Snyder thinks that Sidirov didn’t want his style to be
cramped since Quinn is back. Sam receives a message and Snyder knows it s Quinn telling him
that she is fine; and he is right! Sidirov is on a flight but Snyder knows that he will be back as
234

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
he gave Quinn a quarter of a million in advance; won’t be for nothing.
And then the fun begins. But later, they get into an argument about Quinn and Sam bashes
up Snyder. Deeks and Kensi are lost. Callen tells them that Sam and Quinn worked together
in the same task force and they fell in love. Next, Sam is home with Quinn and he says that
he thought that marriage would put an end to all of this. We see that Quinn is a cop and his
wife. She says that returning to this makes her feel alive. And they need to get Sidirov first. Sam
agrees and he removes his wedding ring.

Summary: The NCIS: LA team heads to the beach to question the possible link
between a surfer, an Internet video and a dead Naval tech scientist.
Meanwhile, as Callen and Hanna investigate the victim’s intelligence
connections, Deeks and Kensi go undercover to catch their suspects
and some waves.
The episode begins with the driver of
an ambulance reporting a case of multiple
fractures and pulmonary contusions.
The ambulance is taking the victim to
the hospital and a van pulls up in front
of the ambulance. A man gets out and
shoots the ambulance driver. A man who
is standing next to his car clicks pictures
of all this on his phone. The shooter then
shoots the ER guy sitting with the victim.
He then pulls out a knife, works on the
victim and leaves. The guy who is taking
the pictures hides. At the precinct, everyone
is waiting for food and Deeks has
gone to pick it up.
Deeks comes with a hazelnut and
mango chutney sandwiches and the others run to the kitchen to get some food; whatever is
remaining that is. Eric calls them to the ops. Hetty tells the team that the victim was a Civilian
Naval technology scientist Kevin Stone. He was already in a critical condition and the attacker
used the knife of him for some kind of a personal touch. This was shot on a smart phone and
uploaded online on a file sharing website. Stone was looking into some surveillance project for
a while now and he is single and has no priors. Callen and Sam are supposed to meet Stone’s
supervisor at the naval lab. Deeks and Kensi need to work on the report and Eric and Nell need
to trace the id of the man who shot and posted this video.
Callen and Sam meet Andrew Hughes and he tells them that Stone was working very hard
off late as he was looking forward to attend a conference in London. Stone was developing tools
237

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
to streamline the surveillance process; nothing sensitive and most of their work is pretty mundane.
In the coroner’s lab, Rose Carlyle enquires about Nate and Kensi tells her that since he is
undercover, they don’t know much about his personal life. Rose then tells them that there was
something implanted inside Stone and it seems to have been removed by the killer. They inform
Callen and he confronts Hughes. They want to know what Stone was working on.
He tells them that Stone was working on a high end surveillance technique and if it gets in
the hands of the enemies, it will set their program back by five years. Now that is not mundane
work! Nell tells the team that the technology is called ISEEP. It is a small device about the size
of an aspirin and some motors are as small as a grain of sand. Hetty tells them tha the military
has been developing this technology for years. The enemies could never manufacture a device
like this but they could develop technology to render it ineffective. They find out that Stone was
going to London; but he was also going to make a stop in Istanbul. The smart phone shooter is
Lance Eddings and he lives in a small apartment in Hollywood. He was abandoned by his parent
at the age of 3 and was raised in foster cares.
Kensi and Deeks go to Lance’s apartment and Sam and Callen search Stone’s house. Callen
learns from Stone’s laptop that he was into day trading and had accounts with several brokerages.
And his recent transactions show that he was pretty desperate. He was on painkillers and
antibiotics prescribed two weeks ago. And the doctor is Adam Keller from Westside Beautification
Center. Kensi and Deeks go to Lance’s apartment. Kensi looks at some magazine and states the
he seems to be into conspiracy theories. He is also a surfer. Time to go surfing! Sam and Callen
go to a clubhouse to find Adam Keller and they find him in his car with a bullet in his head. Eric
and Nell tells Hetty that Homeland has flagged a Turkish diplomat Demir, arriving in the States
and has Iranian agents working for him.
The Turkish government is aware of the accusations but since Demir is highly respected,
their hands are tied. Deeks tells the team that Lance spends his weekend with the famous surfer
Sonny Amador and his boys. He was big at one time but then a knee injury laded him on the
sidelines and he was then arrested for some low level crimes like weed possession etc. Hetty tells
them that Lance is their last chance and so Deeks and Kensi will have to go surfing and meet
Sonny so that they could get to Lance. Deeks does a good job befriending sonny and he agrees
to buy him and his guys’ beer. Kensi arrives at the bar and Deeks flirts with her. He buys her
an expensive drink; double. Eric tells Hetty that forensics reports say that they found aluminum
silicate at both the crime scene and when this is mixed with water, it forms clay.
Nell gets a hit on Demir’s credit card and gets the name of the restaurant he is in. Sam and
Callen go to the restaurant and talk to the owner. He admits that Demir is a family friend. He
needed his car and so he gave it to him. At the bar, one guy recognizes Deeks as Deeks had
arrested him a while back. Lance walks in. this could be trouble. Before the guy could blow his
cover, Deeks punches him. Kensi follows Lance who runs towards his van and he drives away. In
the ops they trace the van to a girl named Freedom Weinberg. Deeks and Kensi get out of the bar.
They get hold of Lance, and bring him in for interrogation. Lance agrees to help and leads them
to a guy named Martinez. But Eric and Nell find out that Martinez is a small time drug dealer
and has an alibi that he was someplace else during Stone’s murder.
Lance is protecting someone. Lance then tells Deeks and Kensi that he wants to talk to Sonny.
Eric informs the team that moments ago Sonny’s body was found by the cops; shot to death. They
realize that Sonny was connected to this and lance knows something. This time Callen goes in
to talk to Lance. He shows Lance the picture of Sonny’s dead body and he tells him that this is
because of him as he is protecting the man who killed Stone in the ambulance. Callen manages
to get Lance to talk. He tells him that he called Sonny after he saw what happened and Sonny
told him to send him the video. Sonny planned to extort some money from the killer and asked
Lance to follow him. Only a part of the video was posted online to show the killer that they could
screw him if they want.
Lance admits that he led them to the wrong guy so that Sonny could go to the killer and get
the money for the video. But Sonny ended up losing his life. Eric then downloads the entire video
from Sonny’s cell phone and the killer is Clint Sears. He is connected to the Al-Qaida family.
Sears and Stone frequented the same restaurant over the past month. Sam feels that Sears is
the middle man between Stone and Demir. Sears must have been following Stone to make sure
that he got to the airport and saw that he got into an accident. So he followed the ambulance
and cut the device out of him. Eric and Nell hack into Demir’s and Sears’ computers and they
238

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
figure out where both of them are headed. Nell then finds out that Sears is into ceramic classes
and has entered a lot of competitions.
That explains the aluminum silicate. Hetty is sure that the exchange will take place somewhere
at the classes as Sears would like to be on familiar grounds. Demir is headed towards
Malibu and Eric figures out a way to slow him down; he hacks into the traffic system and slows
down the traffic and Demir is stuck. Sam, Callen, Deeks and Kensi go to the ceramic classes and
they find Sears hiding there. A gunfight ensues and Sears is shot. They retrieve the device from
Sears. Next, the fantastic four are on the beach; Callen and Sam waiting for food and Deeks and
Kensi are surfing. Hetty calls Callen and tells him that the device is back to the naval base and
Demir is on his way back to Turkey and the CIA is keeping a close watch on him.

Summary: The NCIS:LA team questions the motive behind the murder of a retired
CIA agent turned millionaire and in the process also questions what
Hetty knows about the case.
The episode begins with two girls
walking out of a room of a rich, old man.
Dex calls him and tells him that Seattle
is breathing down his neck. We learn
that this old guy is a secret agent and
that the ongoing lawsuit would not really
affect his financial status as much.
He then disconnects the call and goes to
the balcony to enjoy the ocean view. He
tries to light his cigar with his lighter and
his head gets blown off! At the HQ, we
learn that Deeks had borrowed an album
from Sam and Callen tells Kensi that borrowing
anything from Sam is not a good
idea. Deeks tells Sam that his dog ate the
album.
He tries to give Sam an mp3 player and Sam debates that vinyl has a richer sound. Eric
whistles; Hetty wants them in ops ASAP. Nell briefs the team about the recent death; Victor
Potter, an ex-CIA who was killed in an explosion at his beach house. The security footage is from
the neighboring house. The explosion was caused by the lighter. Potter retired three years ago
and then made millions by consulting directors, gaming companies, etc. The Black Bag is his
game. Taking up this case was Hetty’s decision. Then why didn’t she brief them? Callen tries to
talk to Hetty but she blows him off.
He finds this weird and Sam tells him that something is always up with Hetty. The four go
t Potter’s beach house. Sam thinks it is ammonium nitrate. Callen figures out that Potter had
company. The computer has a firewall so they will need Eric’s help. They then get hold of the
tablet in which Potter had recorded some kinky videos of the girls who gave him ’company’.
Deeks recognizes one of them; Nicole and she works for LA’s high class escort services, Seven

and Deeks go to Seven Star and Kensi poses as someone looking for work. Wendy who takes a
liking for her tries to get fresh with her.
Meanwhile Deeks transfers the database from Wendy’s computer and they manage to get out
of there. Nell goes to get Hetty as there is a message for her. Hetty is looking at a picture of Potter
and Granger together. Callen is there and Hetty senses his presence. He wants to know what is
in the box. She tells him that it is the past which is securely locked away. Nell arrives telling
Hetty that there is a message from Granger. Nell then tells Callen that they have ided the girls
who were with Potter. Callen wants Nell to keep an eye on Hetty for him. Callen and Sam then
arrive at a house and they find two bodies of the girls who Nell just ided. One of them is still
breathing. They then talk to Nicole.
She tells them that one of their clients wanted them to meet Potter; something like a side
business where the girls could make more money without involving their agency. The client
didn’t seem to care about them sleeping with Potter. He only cared about some prank with
Potter’s lighter. The client then came back to their place to pay them; by trying to kill them.
Nicole tells them that his name is Ruiz. She tells them that Ruiz wasn’t a prick like the others
and she sort of liked him, till the time he tried to kill them. At the ops, they learn that Ruiz does
anything for people with money. They get a location on Ruiz. Callen wants to know where Hetty
is; but Nell has no idea.
Granger arrives and tells Callen that Hetty’s whereabouts are her own concern. This means
that he knows where Hetty is. But he doesn’t divulge anything. The four then go to the café
where Ruiz is. A woman who is sitting in a van tells Ruiz that he has company; she sees the
team walking towards Ruiz. She tells him to stay where he is. She then drives towards Ruiz and
shoots him and drives away. They lost the van. Eric too could not get anything as everything
happened too quickly. Callen is upset. They defied a direct order to stand down from Granger
and now they have nothing to show for. Hetty tells them to take a case and then she disappears
and then Granger is all over them and he too disappears. A lot seems to be missing! Callen thinks
he knows where to find the answers.
They tell Nell to open the safe and take out the box as the answers are in that box. At first
Nell refuses to do it but then later on she agrees. They take out the box and look at the picture. It
appears to be taken about a decade ago, somewhere in the Middle East. In that picture, Hetty is
with Potter, Granger and a third man. Looks like Hetty is gone looking for the third guy. Nell tells
them that the third guy is Barry Brooks, another CIA. They all know each other from Afghanistan
from the 80’s. And then they worked together for the CIA-NCIS task forces. Brooks seems to have
had some conflicts with Potter as he accused Potter of embezzling their missions for profits.
Brooks was filing a multimillion dollar lawsuit against Potter asking for his share in the profits
from the video game. Potter emailed Hetty asking for advice; this happened the previous day. So,
Hetty must have visited Brooks. They go to Brooks’ place and find him dead. There are bloody
drag marks on the floor and Brooks has written ’Nogales Bo’ with his blood. Nogales is a town in
Arizona; it is also Spanish for walnuts. But what is BO? It looks like the old man took beatings
from a couple of men. Sam then sees a trip wire and pulls a drawer to find explosives in it. This
was meant for Hetty. Later, the bomb squad disables the device. The team then brainstorms
about what is going on and why is Hetty making it so difficult for them. Callen finds a walnut on
Hetty’s table.
He points out that Hetty is allergic to nuts. So what is it doing on her table? He tells Eric to
search Hetty’s computer and pull up Hetty’s last search. Eric finds out that her last search was
for Casa De Nogales, a safe house that was used for any government organizations that needed
it. They go to the safe house. Hetty, Granger and dale Farmer are there. Farmer is CIA and used
to be Sam’s recruiting leader. They tell them that after Potter’s death and Brooks being silent,
they thought staying at the safe house would be a better idea. Hetty doesn’t know who is after
them as they had made a lot of enemies over the years. They tell them about Brooks’ death. Just
then five shooters arrive and open fire; Farmer is hurt. The woman who killed Ruiz is one of
them.
The team manages to shoot down all of them and as the woman tries to drive away once again,
they get her as well. She tells Callen her name is Fatima Khan. She is about to shot him, when
Hetty takes her shot and kills Fatima. Hetty knows Fatima Khan. Her father used to be a cab
driver and when she was 12, her father started driving for Noreen Haseeb, a founding member
242

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
of Al-Qaida. Haseeb had a meeting and Fatima’s father was driving Haseeb to the meeting when
the cab exploded.
CIA was behind this explosion. Fatima then became a computer engineer and then she became
a part of ISI-CIA task missions. This gave her access to classified files. She had her own agenda
of avenging her father’s death. she wasn’t born a killer, they made her one. Later, Granger and
Hetty have a drink. Granger tells her that Potter planted the bomb and it was her finger on the
detonator.

Summary: The NCIS:Los Angeles team investigates the strange and brazen heist
executed by gunmen in costumes that could directly impact the U.S.
economy. Meanwhile, as Deeks testifies on a case, Granger insists on
partnering up with a very reluctant Kensi.
The episode begins with a robbery at the LA Live
Center. The robbers are wearing costumes of a clown,
a gorilla, etc. They rob the van, shoot the guards guarding
the goods and then blow it off. At the precinct, Sam
is doing some paper work and Callen and Kensi didn’t
show up on time as they did not want to do it. Deeks
is not to be seen. Granger arrives and tells Kensi that
Deeks is testifying on a particular case and so he would
be assisting Kensi on field. Oh No! Eric signals them
to arrive at the ops. Nell and Eric then show them the
footage of the robbery. Thanks to lots of traffic cameras;
they got a lot of footage and details of what went down.
One of the guards has survived, despite a head injury
and the cargo was 100 gold bars, the kind used in international
markets, banks and IMF. And the total worth is
70 million dollars!! Hetty arrives and tells the team that
the gold is an interest payment on a trillion dollar loan
they have from China for a particular project. So, they
need to recover it. Sam and Callen reach the crime scene
and take a looks around. It seems to be an odd place to
conduct a heist. The robbers have left nothing behind.
They recreate the scene. Sam finds blood nearby and
they follow the trail and Sam freaks out when he sees
the clown (who was one of the robbers) lying dead in the
trash can.
So, our strong man is scared of clowns!! At the ops, Nell tells them that this clown is Clive
Mayfield; he has done time for armed robbery. They have also pulled up information on Clive’s
associates. Kensi is on her way to talk to the injured guard. Eric and Nell see that Sam is missing
and Callen tells them that he is dealing with something. Eric knows the ’thing’; it is coulrophobia,
245

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
fear for clowns. Nell asks Eric if he has some irrational fears and he begins to tell her about this
one nightmare where he arrives at the ops and it is dark. But someone is there and is holding
something in the lap.
But before he could finish the story, Hetty arrives and tells them to get back t work if they
don’t want their paychecks to bounce this week. Sam and Callen go to check the clown’s house.
It looks like he left in a hurry. They find an empty glass cage which is used for holding a large
case; and it is empty! They don’t want to look anymore and they leave! Kensi goes to the hospital
to talk to Jack Williams. He was shot in the head and he tells her that he doesn’t remember
anything. He says that he doesn’t even recognize his wife and children. Kensi hands over her
card to him and leaves. Granger doesn’t believe Jack completely.
He wants a guard outside the room. Kensi thinks that Granger doesn’t believe Jack but
Granger tells her that there is a possibility that the robbers would come back to finish an incomplete
job. Nell calls Callen and tells him that she got a hit on a clown costume. He tells her to
give it to Kensi; Callen knows that Sam wouldn’t be comfortable in following that lead. They also
tell her to check snake supplies for a big snake. Granger and Kensi go to the costume stoe and
ask the owner to hand over the surveillance tapes. At the ops, Eric and Nell tell the team that
the guy who bought the costumes id Duncan Walsh and he too has a long rap sheet; somewhat
similar to Clive’s.
Callen, Sam and Kensi go to the last address listed under Walsh. The find three bodies on
the floor; looks like they were executed. There are all of them except Walsh; the one they are
looking for! They identify the three dead men as the robbers at the Live Center. Duncan was
the cargo van driver. Kensi tells Callen and Sam that Duncan was spending a lot off late buying
dinners, jewelry and women’s lingerie. They check hi sphone list and find lot of calls made to
Gloria Bryant. Kensi goes to meet Gloria and asks her about Duncan’s whereabouts. Gloria tries
to escape through the backdoor but Kensi had predicted this.
She then shows Gloria the pictures of the dead men and tells her that Duncan could be next
and that she has to tell her where he is. At the office, Hetty tells Granger that despite Deeks isn’t
an NCIS, he is a part of her team and if anything happens to him, she would take it personally.
Sam, Callen and Kensi go to a parking lot where they find Duncan in a car; dead. They also
find the gold in the back of the car. Weird. Callen thinks that he was expecting something more
festive. At the office, Hetty congratulates her team. But Sam tells her that there is one more
man unaccounted for and maybe he is the one who killed all of the others. This was too easy.
Something is not right. They drill one of the gold bars; it is tungsten. So, who would want to steal
fake gold? Callen thinks that maybe they didn’t know that the gold was fake.
They need to find out who is buying so much of tungsten. Hetty fears that if the word gets
out that America’s banking reserves are compromised, it would create havoc. This seems to be
like a terrorist attack on the American economy and iif this gets out then their economy would
be finished; forever. Now, the guy who was wearing the gorilla mask is still missing. Nell asks
Eric to run the tungsten with the smelting facilities. Kensi has a strange encounter with Granger
and according to Sam everything about Granger is strange. Nell asks Sam if he still needs to
know about the reptile supplies and he says that he doesn’t need that anymore. Eric arrives and
declares that one Carlisle Industry received a half ton shipment for tungsten last week. They go
to Carlisle Industry and Kensi renders the guy at the front desk unconscious and they three go
in.
They see that there are four guys inside and they manage to get one by one. Sam has a close
call with the fourth guy who is smelting the tungsten and Callen and Kensi shoot him. They find
the identical gold bars lying around. They also find the gorilla costume that the man was wearing
during the robbery. Next, Kensi pays Jack a visit at the hospital and is glad to know that he is
recovering. At the HQ, Eric tells the trio that they got a hit on the man in the gorilla mask; he
is an Iranian, Jahveed Abbasi. He is involved in a lot of terrorist activities. This was an attack
on the economy and they stopped it! Hetty is proud but she also wants them to keep this whole
thing a secret. This should never get out. They all leave for the day.

Summary: Callen, Sam, Kensi and Deeks spend Christmas aboard an aircraft
carrier investigating the death of a fellow NCIS special agent. Meanwhile,
Nell and Eric make the most of the holidays back at headquarters
and Hetty takes a trip.
The episode begins on an aircraft carrier
where two officers get into a fight. The
XO is not happy and wants a full report
on it. Next, we see that one of the officers
is found dead. At the precinct, Kensi
tells Deeks that she has no plans this
year as she is planning to spend Christmas
with her mother. Deeks asks her to
get her mom along for snowboarding and
also spend some time in his cabin. Nell
arrives and tells them that they are being
called to the ops. At the ops, Eric tells the
team that NCIS special agent Jason Niles
who was afloat was found dead and the
COD is blunt force trauma.
There is one suspect, Petty officer Simon Allen is an intelligence specialist and according to
the last report Niles was keeping an eye on Allen for erratic behavior. Also, Allen got into a fight
with Sergeant Jefferies on the day the day the body was found and both men are tested positive
for cocaine use. Hetty has arranged for all of them to be flown out on to the ship; looks like
Christmas is going to have to wait. Hanna and Kensi are dressed like marine officers and Deeks
is a civilian contractor. Deeks is not too happy about his geeky undercover but when he learns
that he will have to cut his hair in order to be a marine, he chooses to be a contractor. Sam is not
too happy about going on the ship. And it is not Christmas; it is Sidirov that is bothering him.
What if he comes back when they are away? Callen tells him that Michelle will handle him.
Next, the team lands on the ship and they are welcomed by Petty officer Smalls. Deeks who is
posing as an analyst starts flirting with her. Lieutenant Abernathy shows Kensi the way to her
bunk. Callen interrogates Allen and Jefferies. Both of them deny using cocaine. Jefferies says
247

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
that he doesn’t know Niles and that he learned about him when he was reported dead. Allen tells
Callen that he saw Niles just once when Niles intervened in an argument that he was having.
The argument was about some music.
Allen then tells him that he was jogging around the deck before the fight took place and that
since there was some ongoing work, he was on the lower deck. Smalls is showing Deeks around
and he manages to slip away. He then goes to the site where the dead body was found and he
finds something. He then ends up in a fight with two seamen and Sam arrives and tells him that
he will take it from there. Deeks tells Sam that he found evidence which might indicate that Niles
was killed elsewhere on the ship and then his body was dragged down to where it was found. Nell
and Eric update Callen about the two officers who got into a fight with Deeks; officer Lambert
and Officer Wilson. Also, Lambert worked with Allen for Intelligence.
Deeks then explains to Callen and Sam that he found spinach on the site and it is impossible
that it fell there accidentally as the site is on the other end of the ship from where the mess is.
But it is even more difficult for someone to drag the body from one end of the ship to another!
Abernathy is showing Kensi around when they see that Master Chief is behaving erratically and
is trashing down things with a wrench in his hand. Kensi and Abernathy tackle him. But later
Sam tells Kensi that the wrench is not evidence as it does not match the wound on Niles’ head.
Kensi tells Sam that the chief’s altered state of mind was caused due to cocaine toxicity. The XO
is not happy about the allegations against the Master Chief ad he tells Callen that he trust the
master chief and that his men are drug addicts.
He then tells Callen that the carrier is a dangerous place and that he should be careful. The
four hold a secret meeting. Sam tries to justify the XO’s behavior as his career is on the line
and he cannot be blamed. Kensi says that someone smuggled drugs on board and is dealing
and maybe Niles was close to find out who is doing this and that might have gotten him killed.
Callen points out that all the three of them denied using it. They decide that they might have
to search the ship; but that is difficult! So, Callen decides that if he portrays that he is getting
close to the person dealing in drugs, maybe the perp would get nervous and make some mistake.
Callen interrogates Master Chief Brown, and Brown tells him that he does not drink, smoke or
do drugs. He has to set an example for those under him.
He says that there is no way he can explain his violent behavior. At the ops, Nell has brought
some elf’s costume for Eric. But Eric refuses to wear it as he thinks it would be disastrous if Sam,
Callen or Deeks saw him wearing it. Nell wanted to do this for the children and she is now upset.
On the ship, Callen tells Sam that Brown has the cleanest service record he has ever seen and he
feels that someone is trying to set him up. Deeks is still snooping around and he finds Lambert
is fixing the refrigerating system which keeps crashing. Deeks goes to check the stores. He sees
the pipe valve and assumes that Niles could have hit his head on that. He clicks pictures and
just then someone comes from behind and tries to choke Deeks. Deeks is unconscious and he
collapses to the ground and the man (whose face is not shown) runs. Eric tells Sam and Callen
that he is not able to get in touch with Deeks. And he also confirms that the picture that Deeks
sent him match the murder weapon. Callen tells Sam to alert Kensi. He then goes to Brown as
he feels that the Master Chief knows the ship the best.
They arrive at the site where Deeks clicked the pictures but there is no sign of Deeks. Sam
questions Lambert and Lambert tells him that Deeks was snooping around a while ago. Just
then they see that the guy who was supervising the refrigeration repair is walking away with
the trash can and he doesn’t stop despite being asked to. A gun fight ensues and the man is
killed. Deeks falls out of the trash can. But there is still no sight of the drugs. Deeks says that
the refrigeration was being tampered with so that the veggies could rot and this could throw off
the K9s. but Sam knows that this is not easy. They then check a wall and it is freshly painted.
Callen scrapes off a bit and finds that the cocaine is mixed in the paint! These guys are good!!
Next, Eric educates the team about the dead man; his name is Leonard Wall. He is a contractor
and he used the Navy to move his drugs. Case Closed. Next, Eric tells the team that he has
managed to get tickets only for the 27th of December and this means that they are going to have
to spend Christmas in the sea. Hetty is off for vacations and there is nothing Eric can do to help.
On the ship, Brown thanks the team for all their help. Just the Hetty arrives. She was on her
way to her vacation spot and she decided to make a pit stop. She has made arrangements for
only for Sam so that he can go back to Michelle and spend his Christmas with her. He is ecstatic.
He sweeps Hetty in his arms a kisses her. He leaves.

Everyone is happy for Sam. At the office, Eric is unhappy to see the empty precinct. Nell
arrives wearing her elf costume. She then kisses Eric; well they are standing under the mistletoe.
She wishes him happ holidays and is about to leave. Eric rushes to get his elf costume.

Summary: A former defendant of Deeks is targeted for discovering information
that could dismantle a lucrative car shipping operation with links to a
global terrorist ring. Meanwhile, the NCIS: LA team tackles the largescale
stolen car operation from the inside when Kensi goes undercover
in an auto body shop.
The episode begins with a woman
speeding in her car, continuously looking
at the rear view mirror; she is tensed
and scared. She calls Deeks. Her name
is Jenny and Deeks wonders why she is
calling in the middle of the night. A terrified
Jenny tells him that there are some
SUVs that are being smuggled outside the
US and they are being used for various
crimes in Asia. Just then another car follows
her and she is totally scared. She
picks up something from the dash board
and crushes it under her feet. She asks
for help but before she could say anything
more, her car rams into something and
the line goes dead.
At the precinct the next day, Callen declares his resolution of staying of caffeine and Sam
mocks him by saying that 92% of people can never keep up their resolution. Deeks who has been
in the office for hours, calls them to the ops for their next case. They hear the recorded conversation.
They then check the security camera footage where they see two men abducting Jenny after
the crash. Deeks was her public defender when she was charged for some misdemeanors. But
later when Deeks became a detective, she became sort of an informant. And she was right about
the crimes in South-East Asia. Hetty tells them that one the cars belonged to a soccer mom in
Beverly Hills and two weeks later, it blew up a government building in Philippines. Maybe Jenny
was dismantling international terrorism.
Her daughter Talia is a sophomore at Whitley University. Callen and Sam go to check Jenny’s
vehicle. The officer says that Jenny is a drug addict who is out on parole and once she is found,
she will go back in. they check the car and it is filthy. Looks like she lived in it! Callen finds a
251

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
list of three vehicles and their models. They also find last night’s dinner. Sam finds a dead USB
thumb drive under the gas. It is the same one that we saw she crushed under her feet. Deeks and
Kensi go to the University to meet Talia. She does not remember Deeks. She is pissed with her
mother and she says that she last spoke to her mother two years ago. She also states that every
day she wakes up prepared to hear that her mother is dead. She cannot help them in anyway.
Eric and Nell try to revive the USB; but no luck.
But they have figured out the logo that was on the take away car. The car was stolen. Sam
and Callen go to meet Jaime to get some information on stolen car. Deeks and Kensi go to meet
Mrs. Allison Hall who lives in a HUGE mansion. It was her car that was used to kidnap Jenny.
They talk to her and learn that there was a break in where some jewelry was taken; but they
did not notice their spare car key missing from the kitchen. She does look a little uneasy. Kensi
wants the security camera footage. She is getting late for an appointment and she asks them to
be quick. Eric goes through Allison’s CC statements and Nell figures out that she is a shopaholic.
Callen and Sam bring Jamie to the interrogation room and they ask him about the SUVs.
He doesn’t want to tell a name as he will be killed. They tell him that they will pay him and that
Kensi will have his back. Well, that sounds good! They ask him to take Kensi as a new member
for their crew. Next, Jamie and Kensi arrive at the place where the stolen cars are boosted up
and he introduces Kensi to Esposito, the guy who runs the show. Esposito is pissed at Jamie
for giving out his location and profession and Kensi proves her worth. Deeks is across the street
trying to sell old phones. Kensi totally wins Esposito’s trust; obviously with the help of her team
who help her use a fake app and also stage a fake police chase where she smoothly loses the
cops! Eric and Nell tells Callen and Sam that Talia was lying about not being in touch with her
as her electronic footprints narrate a different tale.
She has something to hide! Eric tells Sam and Callen to check on Talia. They find Talia
walking at a distance and a man in a hoodie arrives and punches her and tries to grab her bag.
Sam and Callen rush to the scene and the hoodie manages to escape. Talia tells Sam that now
they are going to kill her mother. later, Talia tells them that the men told her to bring her laptop
to the park; else her mother would be killed. she feels that thanks to Sam and Callen, she would
surely be killed now. Sam assures her that since those guys couldn’t get what is on the laptop,
there is a chance that Jenny would be still alive. She says that she last spoke to her mother day
before yesterday and that she has been sober for three years.
Eric and Nell tell the guys that there has been an email sent to Talia by Jenny which is
password protected; but it is an audio file and not easy to decipher. There is another email which
says that the key is in the stack. Callen thinks there is a message in that as to how to access
the audio file. Also, there is a hit on the phone call made to Talia. At home, Callen manages
to find the key; it is the audio from a birthday card which is kept in a stack. They access the
email and send it to Eric. Eric sends the information on the guy; Gonzalo Vargas; he works for a
landscaping company in Beverly Hills. We also see that he is the same guy Kensi and Deeks pass
by while visiting Allison. Esposito pays Kensi 1.5k for her brilliant work and he wants to hook
up with her. She refuses.
Eric tracks down Vargas’ location. It seems like he is about to visit Esposito’s auto shop. Ouch.
Eric alerts Deeks as Vargas had seen them at Allison’s mansion. Kensi tries to leave but Esposito
stops her to introduce her to his boss Vargas. She tries to hide her face and Vargas thinks he has
seen her before. He recognizes her. Deeks asks for backup. He then enters the store and Vargas
recognizes his as Kensi’s partner. They are about to be taken to the yard where the ’four’ bodies
will be gotten rid of. Sam and Callen arrive and a gun fight ensues. All the bad ones are killed.
They then go to the yard where according to Jenny’s manifest, three SUVs are supposed to be
shipped to Singapore. Using thermal satellites, Eric traces the container that shows a body but
it is not moving.
They find Jenny in the trunk of the car. They revive her and she is glad to see her daughter
Talia. She had done some booking work for Vargas and she waited so that she had a full story.
Deeks always told her never to come to him with half a story. At the precinct, Hetty tells the team
that they are going to send the shipment as planned; only that there are going to be ’significant’
changes made to the vehicles. Sounds like they are going to have access to a ’treasure trove’ of
Intelligence! Deeks overhears Kensi making dinner reservations. It is his birthday and Hetty has
brought in a bottle. Deeks thinks that he is the one going to dinner with Kensi.
Sorry birthday boy; it is Jamie who is having dinner with her. Jamie has also brought his
252

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
mother and he introduces Kensi as his girlfriend. Kensi agreed for this dinner because Jamie
saved her life during the gunfight at the store where Esposito had held her hostage. They order
drinks and Jamie’s mother asks Kensi if she liked children? Oops.

Summary: A Marine’s death raises suspicions from his wife about his last battle.
Sam and Callen try to find out whether there has been a cover
up. When Hetty invites Operational Psychologist Nate Getz, the team
suspects an evaluation is coming up.
The episode begins with a man walking
out of the LA Department of Coroner’s
office. A man sitting in a car on the opposite
side of the street clicks his pictures.
Later, the photographer gets out of his car
and breaks into the coroner’s office and
picks up a report from the drawer. It belongs
to a man named Edwin Prietto. He
then leaves. He gets into the car and is
about to read the report, when someone
who is in the backseat slits his throat and
takes the report. At the precinct, Deeks
arrives and declares that Kensi is in a bad
mood as one of her plants has died; it is
a cactus.
San tells her that it is the job, which keeps her away from home and so she doesn’t have time
to care for the plants. Eric, who is practicing mime, tries to call them to the Ops for a briefing;
but in the end he ends up using his voice to explain his actions. Nell tells them about their latest
victim, Stewart Westridge, a private investigator. Hetty tells them that the Navy has expressed
interest in one of his cases that was commissioned by a widow of a Marine. Antonia Prietto,
the widow of Edwin Prietto, wanted an autopsy report to the County morgue’s office and hired
Stewart to investigate her husband’s death. Edwin was killed in the Pakistani border during a
routine security sweep or it could be a cover to hide the truth.
Callen and Sam go to meet the widow and ask her as to why she is suspicious about her
husband’s death. She tells them that the guy from the Casualty Assistance Core’s office told
her that Edwin died on the Pakistani border; but she knows that he was posted in Kandahar
as he called her from there the day before he died. She tried talking to other people but she felt
they were stone walling her. Neither has she seen her husband’s body or the report. Deeks and

Kensi examine Stewart’s car. The car has come up clean. So this means that the killer was a pro
and his aim was to kill Stewart. Kensi wonders what if the Marine Core was trying to cover up
something.
In the morgue, Antonia arrives to see her husband’s dead body. She notices that his hands
are significantly lighter and the coroner tells her that this happens once you donate bones and
tissues. But Antonia says that Edwin wasn’t a tissue donor. She is now sure that the Core is
definitely hiding something. The Marines had the morgue strip Edwin’s body so that no one
could find out what happened to him in Afghanistan. Callen and Sam question Rose as to how
this could have happened. Ian arrives; he is the same guy who Stewart clicked pictures of. Rose
asks Ian about the prep he did on Edwin. Ian tells them that he removed tissue as it was there
on the paper.
But he sees that the file is missing. At the ops, Eric tells Callen and Sam that Stewart broke
into the Coroner’s office and walked out with a file; could be Edwin’s reports. Just then Nate
arrives and Sam figures out that it is the annual psych evaluation. Oh no! The four at once get
out of Ops and that leaves Eric and Nell with Nate. Eric immediately blurts out that Nell and
he kissed. That is a surprise for Nate. Not happening!! Deeks and Kensi check Stewart’s house.
They find that Antonia’s papers are missing. So the killer killed Stewart, came to his house and
took Antonia’s file along with Stewart’s computer.
Deeks manages to fish out a wireless hard drive hidden in plain sight. Nate knows that Hetty
has some other agenda for calling him; a psych evaluation is just a charade. But Hetty doesn’t
disclose the real reason. So, he is just a pawn in her new game. But she tells him never to
underestimate the power of a pawn. Sam and Callen talk to the officer who told Antonia about
Edwin’s death. Sam wants to see the copy of the paperwork that was sent to the morgue. The
papers show that Edwin was a tissue donor. Sam feels that Antonia is hiding something from
them. Just then they find out that Antonia, who worked for a grief support group, has now gone
public with Edwin’s story. The story says that Edwin had been harvested for tissues. Either they
are dealing with a distraught widow who is looking for answers or a woman with a different
agenda.
Nell and Nate arrive telling Hetty that another soldier was injured on the day Edwin died and
he is now recuperating in a hospital. Kensi and Deeks are assigned to go to the hospital, Callen
and Sam go to talk to Ian and Nell and Nate try to get Eric dig deeper. Nate tries to talk to Callen
and Callen plays along by building up a fake story. Nate realizes what Callen is doing but he
plays along. Kensi and Deeks talk to the Sergeant and he isn’t of much help. Ian tells Callen
and Sam that the COD was consistent with the Marine Core report. Kensi and Deeks go to the
Director of the funeral home and he too did not know that Edwin was a donor. Eric hacks into
the wireless hard drive and finds out the surveillance pictures taken by Stewart.
They are shocked to find Rose’s pictures in it. So from a friend, she is now a person of
interest. Nate is having a hard time believing it as she is more than just a friend to him. Hetty
wants Nate to interrogate Rose. So, this is why Hetty brought Nate in. This is his assignment.
Nate brings Rose to NCIS and Rose realizes that she is being interrogated. He wants to know
why an investigator would investigate her. Kensi and Deeks go to looks around Rose’s house.
They find Edwin’s morgue report on her dining table. They are shocked. Callen and Sam walk
into the interrogation room with the file. She cannot believe that they doubt her. She tells them
that the signature on the file is not hers; close but not hers. Nate confirms it. Eric and Nell find
something.
They find that the county morgue has a spike in the number of tissue donors. And they were
buried by the Fairfield Manor funeral home; the same home that buried Edwin. Nell states that
Ian’s signature is there on the all the transfer papers. So Ian and the funeral home are working
together and stealing tissues from dead bodies and selling them in the black market. Next, Hetty
and Nate go to the funeral home as a mother-son pair. They meet the Director, David. Kensi and
Deeks break inside the home to search for Ian. But they found him dead in a coffin. Looks like
the partnership went south. Callen and Sam going in as people whom Ian owes money. David
asks them to leave but they get hostile. Hetty tries to intervene and Sam who is in character calls
her ’shorty’ and asks her to learn to keep her trap shut.
Hetty and Nate leave David tries to run but to no avail; he is arrested. The team attends
Edwin’s funeral service and Antonia thanks the team. Nate tries to talk to Rose; she hopes that
she can forgive him. Hetty tells Sam and Callen that Edwin was on a classified mission. That is
256

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
why the Core could not tell Antonia about Edwin’s location. Callen leaves but Hetty asks Sam to
stay back. She wants to discuss about his undercover performance which sounded very genuine.
So, she gets started. She wants to know what he meant when he called her ’shorty’.

Summary: Callen goes undercover in order to penetrate a Chechen terrorist group
that recruits foreigners and plans their next attack in the United
States.
The episode begins with a police officer
following a white van and signals it
to stop. He then checks the license of the
driver; Dennis McGrady. Dennis is driving
with his friend and he tells the officer
that he is helping his friend move.
The officer wants to take a look at what
he is moving. Dennis is nervous. Just as
he was about to open the door, his friend
shoots the officer and runs back into the
van. The officer shoots Dennis who is trying
to run to get inside the van. The friend
drives away with the van.
At the precinct, Deeks has bought
an aquarium and has managed to have
fishes in it which represent the counterpart of his team member; there is no Hetty as the smaller
fishes tend to get eaten by the bigger ones! And yes he is the goldfish! Eric arrives and calls
them to the ops. They are briefed about the case. We learn that Dennis is the alias the driver
was using. His real name is Karim Moussa, and he belongs to a terrorist group that links the
Al-Qaida to the Taliban. The surveillance camera could not get the face of the friend. Karim is
from Chechnya, which has become a hot bed for Islamic terrorism. They know that Karim was
trying to protect something or someone at the back of the van. Hetty tells them that thanks to
the vest, Sergeant Rick Gibson survived the shots.
Deeks and Kensi go to the car rental company to find out about the details of the person
who rented the car. The guy at the counter seems to have OCD. He tells them that a guy named
Dennis rented the car. His friend was an African American and the guy describes his height,
built, waist and clothes pretty precisely. But he doesn’t remember the face too well. Rick says
that he did not look at the accomplice. His accent did not support the name on the license. He
also tells them about a take away bag that he saw in the van; he describes the logo. Eric and
259

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
Nell track the take away joint and they also see that the van was in that area an hour after the
shooting. They predict that the camera should spot the van, judging by the route it took. But
surprisingly, it did not show up. Nell calls Callen.
Callen, Deeks, Kensi and Sam spot the van. But the van is clean; except for some traces of
ammonium nitrate which is used to make explosives. Nell tells the team that the tyre has traces
of recycled paper pulp and there are just three in the area where the van was. One of them was
shut a while back. It was owned by a Chechen national, Akmed Movladiev, who was sent back
when his business turned belly up. The satellite images show that the van entered the facility and
then left. Probably, it unloaded the ammonium nitrate and then the driver dumped the van. So
what is happening in LA that could be a target for a terrorist attack? The Israeli PM is attending
the museum of tolerance this week and author Ephraim Nabeel is going to lecture on his book
and former Secretary of States is speaking at the Reagan library.
So, it is time for some old fashioned stake out. So, the four are waiting outside the run down
mill. They have some action. A man walks out of the building. But Eric is unable to track him as
he is bunched up in the crowd on the street and is unable to isolate him. Kensi does the bump
and manages to hold him stationary for a while. Eric tracks him. He is Jamal Alvurov, a Chechen
national with a chemical engineering degree. Eric has sent a virus to his phone which helps him
to track all calls and emails sent from that phone. There is one coded email which describes a
person arriving on a flight. There are three Chechen nationals on that flight and the closest to
the description is a man named Anwar Amurov. They infer that the mention of a red baseball
cap means that they have never met that man before.
So, Callen decides to show up in his place. hetty thinks that this is a bad idea. but Callen
tells her that they have no choice. Also, he is aware of the Chechen dialects. Callen dresses up
and Hetty corrects his tenses. Nell wires him up; but he takes them off as he points out that
these guys are smart enough to use minimal technology to stay off radar. They will strip him off
first. They go through Anwar’s files and he has no skills that would make him a Jihaad player.
He has a four year old named Anya. So, the operation begins and Deeks and Kensi take Anwar
with them and hand over the red cap to Callen. Callen walks out of the plane and we see that
the guy who drove off with the white van is waiting for him.
He asks Callen to follow him. They go to the building and there they meet Jamal. Jamal tells
him about Jihaad and he introduces Callen/Anwar to Gloria and Chovka Zelimov. The African
American guy is James/Masud. They then kill James and tell Callen that his work was done and
soon Callen’s too will be. Kensi interrogates Anwar and Anwar defends the actions of Jihaad. He
then lawyers up. Deeks arrives with pizza in the building and manages to get it delivered into the
building. Chovka not wanting to gather any outside attention buys it from him and then takes
it inside. He is about to throw it off when Callen stops him and tells Jamal that he has always
wanted to eat American pizza.
He has a talk with Gloria and before he could learn much, Jamal asks her to leave. Callen,
who has by now finished the pizza, pulls out the button camera that is hidden in it and fixes it
on his button. But he does not mange to get the ear piece. Jamal then takes Callen to the van
full of ammonium nitrate. He then hands over a paper and pen to Callen. Hetty realizes what is
happening./ she tells the team that the paper and pen is for writing the last letter to his family;
Anwar was called in as a suicide bomber and now Callen is the chosen one. In the warehouse,
Callen focuses over a paper written by the author Nabeel and also a strange map; it is the map of
the Braddock University. Hetty figures out that Nabeel is their target as the author had written
some questionable papers against Islam.
Jamal makes Callen wear the vest. Chovka will be driving him. Jamal then hands a gun to
Gloria and tells her that it is time for her to do the deed. She takes it. The team is around the
building and see a van leave. They chase it. Kensi shoots Chovka but they see that the van is
empty. Everyone is surprised. Just then the ops receive news that Gloria shot herself in her head
in the middle of the route that Nabeel was supposed to travel. So, now the traffic needs to be
diverted and Nabeel’s vehicle will have to take the route which passes through the warehouse.
Hetty now realizes that they will blow up the warehouse and Callen never left the warehouse.
In the warehouse, Callen is zip tied to a plank. Jamal knows that Callen is not Anwar as he
remembers that Anwar was left handed and they all sat in the last row in school.
He then places a cell phone on the vest and is about to leave. The team arrives and shoots
Jamal. They then go to free Callen. They cut off the zip tie and Callen is about to get off when
260

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
Sam stops him. The plank is rigged on a pressure plate which is connected to some explosives.
Sam cuts off the wire and everyone is relieved. At the precinct, Deeks cannot find his aquarium.
Well, that is because it is with Hetty.
She asks him why there is no fish that represents her. Well, she has brought a fish that she
puts into the tank; it is a guppy. They try to warn her that small fishes won’t survive with the
bigger ones. But once the guppy is poured into the tank, the other fishes look at it for a moment
and then they turn around and swim in the other direction! Looks like even the fishes are wary
of Hetty’s counterpart!

Summary: The team goes undercover in order to investigate a crime connected to
a cartel suspected for terrorist interactions.
The episode begins in Mexico, where
there are a few guys guarding a house.
Just then a task force arrives and takes
one of them down. They enter the house
and go into a room to check on two people
sleeping on the bed; but they are dummies.
This is a trap. Just then a few civilians
come in and open fire at them. But it
is too late to abort the mission; all of them
are killed. At the precinct, Kensi gets a
huge box in the mail and Deeks is curious
as to what is in the box. But Kensi tells
him to mind his own business. Granger
arrives and asks them to come to the ops.
The team watches a video recorded by a
helmet camera. The task force had invaded the house of Luis Cisneros, the Head of the Molina
drug cartel and wanted by the FBI.
They see how the mission turned into an ambush and the elite team was wiped out. This
seems to be a leak of intel. The person needs to have high clearance access to such kind of
information. They try to narrow down the list of suspects and they end up pulling the list of the
tactical role players. So, Granger tells them that they need to train with a few guys for Special
ops; and these guys make Al Qaida looks like a walk in the park. This is done to take a close
look if these guys are the leak. Hetty briefs them about the weapons. The team arrives for their
training and their button cameras are activated. Sam feels that Deeks and Kensi are not really
prepared to be tossed to the deep end of the game. They walk into the simulated ’KILL HOUSE’.
But they fail the mission. And somewhere Granger is laughing at them! Chad Parish arrives
and talks down to the team. He is former SWAT member and has been in the team for just
two months. David Inman arrives and tells the team that their biggest flaw was to break up;
fragmented team! All they had to do was sit back and see how they wanted to be killed. David
is an ex-marine and is the group leader. Granger tells Nell and Eric to dig deeper into the TRP’s
263

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
history; he knows that everyone has a weak spot. Nell points out that all of the TRPs are single
except for Chad Parish. He has a wife, Jenna and she is two months pregnant. Sam and Callen
think that Chad mentioned the ambush that happened in Mexico. Callen thinks that he did it
intentionally.
They feel that either Chad could be the leak or might want to stay clean as he has a baby
coming. They need to have a talk with him. They then go for their next mission which involves
civilians. The team avoids casualties, and manages to take one of the guys with them. But their
car gets rigged. They fail this one as well. The man they took with them is David. Just then a man
comes running out and tells David that one of their guys is hit; it is Chad. He is dead!! Sam tells
Callen that the LAPD has said that Chad broke his neck due to a bad fall. But Callen wonders if
it was an accident or murder. David arrives and tells the team that he is going to have to cut this
contract. They will be assigned to another team for their training to take down Cisneros.
He tells them that he will wait for what the LAPD has to say and then conduct his own
investigation. Chad is the first guy they lost in training. Callen asks Kensi and Deeks to follow
David while he and Sam would work the crime scene. Granger has decided to bring David in.
Getty thinks that this will compromise their mission. Granger points out that this mission was
compromised the moment Chad got his neck broken. Next, Deeks and Kensi follow David who
goes to meet Jenna and tells her about Chad’s death. She pushed David away and runs into the
house crying. Deeks and Kensi think that this is the right time to talk to her. They ask her about
Chad and his work. She tells them that Chad was the black sheep of the tribe as he was the only
married one.
Chad always talked about quitting but they needed the money. She then continues to tell
them about David’s dream project; a high tech training center in Mexico. Meanwhile, Nell goes
through the crime scene and tells Callen and Sam that there is one camera that could tell them
about Chad’s death. Hetty calls Callen and asks them to come back as Granger has brought in
David for interrogation. Callen and Sam watch Granger talking to David; and it no where looks
like an interrogation. It looks like some date!! Callen is suspicious and asks Eric to dig into
David’s military records to see if there is any connection between him and Granger. Eric tells
them that Granger had specifically asked him to dig about David earlier.
He tells Callen that two months of David’s services are being heavily redacted and this time
coincides with the time when Granger ran a black op in Iran. Callen has a question for Granger
and Granger comes out of the interrogation room to answer it. Callen wants to know why he
did not tell them about being friends with David. That is because, Granger thought that he
was always considered as public enemy number 1. He asks them to sit back and watch the
interrogation; they might just learn something. Eric tells Deeks and Kensi that he did get some
information on David’s new training center in New Mexico and David has already put in 2.3
million dollars in it. There is no way his military contracts could fetch him that kind of money.
In the interrogation room, Granger tells David that he had sent his team to him to get some
information about the leak on Cisnero. David had figured out that something about the team was
off. Granger also tells him that he vouched for him and wanted his guys to be trained for difficult
operations; but he feels that David blew it off. He has solid intel on Cisnero’s location and thanks
to Chad’s death, he will not be able to train his guys to take out Cisenero. Eric calls Callen and
tells him that he knows about Cisnero’s whereabouts. Cisnero has gotten sloppy; that means he
is in a hurry. Granger arrives in the ops. And David has managed to escape. He is on the move.
And this is exactly what Granger wanted!
Eric tells them that David is going to the Kill House facility. So, they now need proof that
David was behind Chad’s murder. They try to get in touch with Nell. But her cell phone is offline.
Sam says that they left her at the restaurant to check the camera footage. They are sure that
David has got her!! They go to the training center and Sam knows that David knows how they
think and now he would be expecting them to move in a certain way.
But they decide to do otherwise; they stick together as a team. They manage to arrest Luis
Cisnero who is in the training facility and they also successfully manage to rescue Nell. Later,
Granger apologizes to the team as he wasn’t completely honest with them and he risked Nell’s
life. Callen tells him that it is Nell’s call. Nell tells him that it is all good.

Summary: The team investigates the only survivor of a former terrorist group.
Kensi and Deeks follow a trail that leads them to the woods.
The episode begins with Bryan Ross
introducing himself on a show called
’The Bigfoot Hunters’. The Director is not
happy and asks Bryan for a retake. Just
then they hear a rustle in the woods. Moments
later a man stumbles in their direction
and falls down to the ground; he
has been stabbed. At the precinct, Sam
is preparing for a historical event at his
daughter’s school and he is dressing up
as the first black astronaut who went to
space. He called in a favor and has managed
to get the space suit. Kensi tells the
trio that a guy named Morgan is retiring;
but none of them know who Morgan is.
Eric arrives and declares Morgan’s retirement party and they also have got a case.
Eric tells them that the dead man is Dean Albertson and he has been wanted for act of
terrorism since the ’70s. Albertson was the founding member of the group called GBP; Gun
Barrel Party. This group was wanted for a string of bombings and most of the members of the
group did time with the FBI; including Albertson. Nell tells them that GBP declared its comeback
and that they would attack the American institutions that support injustice. This is an issue of
National security. The manifesto was posted from a coffee shop and so it could be anyone using
WiFi. There were eight guys in the group and as of now only one of them is alive; Jim Mullins and
he is serving time in prison. Callen asks Kensi and Deeks to check the crime scene and Deeks is
not comfortable in the woods.
Kensi and Deeks go to the woods and Kensi back tracks Albertson’s trail. Callen and Sam
go to prison to meet Mullins. They tell Mullins about Albertson’s death and he doesn’t seem to
be affected by the news. Mullins is in prison for murdering two security guards during a bank
robbery. They tell him that GBP’s return has been announced and somebody is trying to take
advantage of the same. Mullins tells them that Albertson ceased being his buddy since the time
he deserted the cause. Callen feels that somebody reached out to Mullins before they could and
265

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
so he asks Eric to get him a list of Mullin’s recent visitors. In the woods, Kensi and Deeks find a
cabin and they realize that Albertson was living there with a woman. Just then a lady walks in,
attacks Deeks and tries to run away.
But Kensi grabs her and takes her to the precinct. The woman’s name is Leah Dewhurst.
She tells Kensi that she is Albertson’s girlfriend and she had no idea about his death until now.
She tells Kensi that she was at the grocery store and also, she doesn’t know anything about
Albertson’s past. He wouldn’t talk about it. Eric tells the team that Mullins had two visitors in
prison; one from his sister who lives in Ohio and the other is from a professor, Roy Hale. Callen
and Sam go to meet Hale. He tells them that he is writing a book on the GBP and he is merely
explaining their point of view. They then tell Hale that Albertson was stabbed to death. Hale says
that he did not know about that and he feels that it would make an interesting chapter in his
book.
On their way out, Sam notices some graffiti on the pamphlets that were put up on the notice
board. Callen clicks a picture. Eric tells them that the graffiti belongs to an anarchist group
which calls themselves Red Tide. There was a message that was uploaded on an anarchy board
through the WiFi at the University. Hetty tells Deeks and Kensi that it is time for them to go
back to school. Deeks will have to pretend to be a janitor and Kensi will go in as a student. Kensi
meets Hale’s TA, David and has a conversation with him. David thinks that she has come for
the protest; he checks her in for extra credits. He then invites her over to a discussion at Hale’s
house. It is mainly for guy students but he is sure that the professor will make an exception.
Kensi asks for Hale and David tells her that Hale doesn’t come for the protests anymore
because the numbers of the protesters are dwindling. Janitor Deeks enters Hale’s office and
plugs in a drive into the professor’s computer to let Eric gain access to the information on it; but
there is nothing on it and Eric finds that odd. Callen tells Deeks to keep digging. Just then the
Red Tide group attacks the campus and Sam, Callen and Kensi manage to knock them down.
Just then Deeks tells them that he has found something; it is a box of explosives. It does not
have a timer; but it has a cell phone trigger. This bomb can go off any second. Deeks evacuates
the building. They infer that someone wanted Hale dead. Callen and Sam go to check his house.
Eric tells them that Hale’s phone is turned off.
Sam and Callen arrive at Hale’s house and they see his car in the driveway. As they approach
the house, there is a huge explosion. Later, the team thinks that Hale was attacked because he
must have come across something in his research on the GBP and someone did not want that
information to be published. But they are not sure that Hale was in the house when it blew up.
Nell calls Callen and tells him that one of the Red Tide members they busted, Allen Sanderson,
was one of Hale’s graduate students. His father owns the largest construction company and his
father bailed out on him due to his illegal activities. Eric tells Callen that the serial number on
the bomb led them to a construction site which belongs to the Sandersons. And the bomb found
in Hale’s office is a fraction of the total explosives that is missing.
Sam and Callen interrogate Allen and tell him that Red Tide is considered as a terrorist
organization by the Government. Meanwhile, Kensi talks to David. David tells Kensi that Hale
took him under his wings and saved his life because David was having a tough time with his
father. Deeks talks to Leah and shows her Allen’s picture; but she tells him that she has never
seen him before. But she recognizes Hale standing next to Allen and she tells him that Hale came
to meet Albertson couple of times. But she also tells Deeks that Albertson called him Johnson.
At the ops, the team discusses that Johnson belonged to GBP and he was killed in the explosion
at the cabin while they were making bombs. Eric uses the age progression software on Johnson’s
picture and it is a 91% match to Hale.
The crime lab informs that Hale’s body was not found in the house. Eric tells Callen that Hale
is on the run and security camera footage proves that Hale was at a center where they make fake
identities. Callen updates Allen about Hale’s recent activities and tells him that Hale is running
again, leaving him behind. Allen tells them that Hale has a storage unit in Hollywood. They are
on the way to the unit. Allen also tells them that Hale is planning to blow up one of the Southern
Californian fortune 500 companies. Hale is loading the explosives in his trunk and the team
arrives. They arrest Hale. Hale tells them that he wasn’t at the cabin when it exploded and the
cops found his prints in the wreckage, and declared him dead. He saw this as an opportunity
and started a new life.
He saw that the present generation wasted their time tweeting and so he enlisted Allen and
266

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
his group for his cause. He then says that Albertson’s murder was an accident. He had gone to
meet him to ask him to join him. But Albertson’s mind was elsewhere and they ended up in an
argument. Albertson pulled out a knife and a struggle ensued. Albertson slipped and fell on the
knife and there was nothing Hale could do. Hale tells them that he sowed a lot of seeds in the
classrooms over the years he taught and he feels that some of them will definitely take root. Case
closed. Next, Callen is still concerned about what Hale said. And we see that Hale was right.
Hale’s death has affected David and he is going through websites learning how to make bombs.
Just then Kensi arrives and asks him out for coffee so that they can talk. Hetty tells Callen
that a good friend arriving at the right time will be of great help. We now know why Kensi meets
David. It is Morgan’s retirement party and Sam gets Callen the last piece of cake. Nell, Eric and
Deeks join the party. They then ask Sam about the competition at his daughter’s school. Sam
tells him that he was the second coolest dad; the first one was dressed as a Navy Seal!

Summary: Callen is concerned that Sam might be too invested after he takes on
a missing persons case for an Afghani elder who helped him years ago
when he was wounded on a mission.
The episode begins with a guy entering
an electronic shop. He steals a laptop
and leave, but the owner notices that and
chases the guy. The guy is then knocked
down by a car. We see that two men lift
him and put him in the car and drive
away. The owner recovers the guy’s bag
with the laptop in it. At the precinct,
Deeks and Kensi are going to attend a
seminar. But Kensi doesn’t want to go to
it. She tells Sam that she made Deeks
join the sniper classes with her and so
now she has to accompany him to the
seminar. But later, Deeks tells Sam that
he hates going to the seminar. He is going
because he wants to pay Kensi back for taking care of his pet last week and he feels that Kensi
is very much into these things.
Sam finds this entire thing very amusing. Sam gets a call and he looks worried. He goes to
the Ops and tells Eric that there has been an accident and he wants to check all the surveillance
footage. Sam tells Eric that this is a personal matter. Eric stops. Granger arrives and tells Sam
that he cannot deal with personal stuff on Government time. Sam tells him that when he was
in Afghanistan, a man named Yusef Khan helped him when he was wounded. Khan risked the
safety of his family and village for him. Now, his nephew was in an accident and is missing. He
wants to help Khan. Granger does not allow it. Sam tells him that he has accrued 219 hours of
leave.
He is taking it, but Hetty intervenes. Eric arrives and tells them to take a look at the accident
footage. They see that Amir Khan is being taken by the guys who hit him with their car. Hetty
tells Eric that this cannot be pursued. But Eric states that the facial recognition on the man in
the passenger seat leads to Hakim Habib. Hakim recruits local US Muslims and then introduces
them to the ways of the Taliban. Hakim has never come to the US before; so why now? Hetty

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
tells them to find Hakim, and Sam will find Khan’s nephew. Kensi and Deeks go to the store and
talk to the owner. The owner tells them that Amir has been coming to the store for the past two
weeks and test driving latest laptops and this morning he tried to steal one.
They tell the owner that they will have to confiscate the laptop and all the surveillance footage.
Sam goes to meet Yusef Khan. Khan tells Sam that Amir has no history of violence. Sam then
shows him Hakim’s picture. Just then a black SUV pulls in front of the dry cleaning store and
opens fire. Sam pushes Khan to safety and shoots down the gunman; but the SUV drives off.
Eric tells Callen that the dead man is Aleed Durrani and he is a member of a small time radical
group of the Jihadist front. He also has a brother, Salim Durrani. Khan tells Sam that he knows
that this is the work of the Taliban. He tells Sam that once Sam escaped, the Taliban came to
search for him and on finding out that Sam escaped, they killed his family.
He managed to save Amir by fleeing to a refugee camp. Sam did not know about this. Sam
wants to hide Khan in some safe place off the grid. Callen thinks it is a bad idea; he says that
they should put Khan on the system so that they can keep an eye on him. He says that Sam
is not thinking with his head. Sam agrees. Deeks and Kensi go to Amir’s house and search the
place. Deeks finds a laptop and it looks brand new. He wonders why Amir was trying to steal a
laptop when he already had a brand new one. They then find a gun under the bed. Eric finds
something very interesting; he finds a footage which shows the Duarrani brother dropping Amir
at the store. They knew each other.
Sam tells Khan about the gun and Amir’s friendship with the Durrani brother. He feels that
Amir was involved with some radical group. Khan blames all this on Amir’s American girlfriend,
who he doesn’t like. He tells Sam that the girl wanted Amir to relinquish his heritage. Sam wants
her address. Kensi is pissed with Deeks because he read her diary. She now wants Deeks to tell
her something that no one knows. Deeks tells her that he was a stripper in his college days and
he did that for some extra funding. They then go to meet Amir’s girlfriend. The girlfriend tells
them that Khan was forcing Amir to be something he didn’t want to be and he also thought that
she was bad influence on Amir.
Sam and Callen go to a mosque and locate the black SUV which pulled in front of the dry
cleaners’. They then see Salim Durrani walk out of the mosque. They think that Salim wanted
Amir to do something and Amir refused. That is why they had fallout and Amir had a gun. They
follow Salim, hoping that it would lead them to Amir. Eric and Nell find some emails on the
store’s computer. They look like they are for Hakim. Granger fears that if Hakim is involved, it
means that something is happening on a large scale. Sam and Callen follow Salim to a hookah
bar. Salim escapes in a silver sedan. Callen and Sam follow the car. During the pursuit, Sam’s
car window is shot at and Sam is pissed. He then fires shots at the sedan.
Salim is arrested and the driver is dead. Callen finds a lot of ammunition in the trunk of the
car, enough to start a war. Sam gets nothing useful from Salim. They arrive at the HQ and Hetty
mentions the bad driving skills. Sam tells them that it was Callen who was driving. Kensi is
shocked that Sam let Callen drive the Challenger! Sam feels that they should get the girlfriend,
Nicole and Khan in the same room. Maybe they know something collectively that they don’t
realize. Kensi and Deeks go to Nicole’s place and find that two men are trying to abduct her. A
gunfight ensues and Nicole gets shot. The two men are also killed. Deeks finds a picture in one
guy’s pocket. It is a picture of Khan and Sam together and Sam’s face is circled.
Deeks realizes that the hit at the dry cleaners was actually for Sam. Sam arrives at the safe
place and finds that the guard is missing. Khan tells him that Amir called and so he had to ’let
the guard go’. Amir walks down the stairs and Hakim Habib arrives with his men. Sam realizes
that this was a set up. Hakim says that he can now finish the job by killing the guy who got
away years ago. At the ops, everyone is tense because Sam is not reachable. However, the GPS
shows that he is at the boatshed. All the cameras in the boatshed have been disconnected, but
Eric knows about the secret camera and turns it on. They see that Sam is held captive and is
being beaten up. Hetty wants Nell to inform Callen that the boatshed has been breached.
Hetty wants Sam to be saved at all costs. Khan is upset with Amir for his actions and Amir
tells him that he doesn’t want to carry this burden all his life just because his uncle made a
wrong decision. But Hakim plans to kill Khan and Amir as well. He calls Amir a coward for
turning on his own uncle and he wants to kill Khan for sheltering the enemy. Just then Kensi,
Deeks and Callen arrive at the boatshed. Kensi and Deeks pose as a couple having an argument
and Callen tries to get into the basement. They shoot down the men, arrest Hakim Habib and
270

free Sam. Amir feels that the others would still come for them and he tries to shoot Sam. Khan
tries to stop him and ends up shooting his own nephew; the last of his family.
He tells Sam that if he had let Amir shoot him, then his whole family would have died in vain.
Sam thanks Khan and Khan leaves. At the precinct, Hetty decides that she will be punishing Sam
for disobeying her rules about federal resources. She then offers Sam one of the finest Scotch
ever made. Sam is happy. He wants to know how much it costs. Hetty tells him that he will find
out in his next pay check!

Summary:
Sam fears for his family’s safety when his wife is called to resume a
former CIA cover after a case suggests ties to the infamous Sidorov
and his stolen nukes.
The episode begins with a man, Victor
Varlamov, arriving at the park and
pulling out a note from under a bench.
Just then another man stabs Victor with
an ice-pick in the back of his neck and
then in his chest. The killer then cuts off
one of his fingers. Sidirov is watching this
on his computer. Next, at the precinct,
Kensi is filling out a survey form from a
bridal magazine and Deeks tells her that
her biological clock is ticking. Nell arrives
and tells them that Victor Varlamov was
killed this morning. Nell and Eric tell the
team that the footage was pulled from a
Venice chess park.
Victor was hired by Anatoli Kirkin (a rival mob boss) to assassinate Sidirov. They feel that the
killer did not turn his face because he knew about the camera. Callen thinks that Sidirov might
have staged it so that he could watch from a remote location. Callen tells Eric and Nell to check
how many people have watched this video. He also wants everything on Victor. Callen then leaves
to talk to one of Victor’s poker buddies. Later, Kensi and Deeks take a look at Victor’s dead body
and they find some letters (not in English) carved on Victor’s forehead. They also notice that the
killer has cut off Victor’s middle finger.
Deeks does a search and tells Kensi that the letters correspond to the English letters, S L O N,
which is Russian for elephant. Callen tells Sam about the message carved on Victor’s forehead.
They then meet Arkady and he tells them that in this case SLON means a prison. He also tells
them that cutting off the middle finger could be because of the tattoo that was on that finger.
Arkady has his doubts on Dmitri Greshnev. Callen says that Dmitri flew off with Sidirov. Arkady
feels that Dmitri is back. Callen tells Sam that if Sidirov and Dmitri are back then they will try to
273

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
find a buyer for the stolen nukes. Sam tells Callen that if they are back, they are going to come
after his wife.
Nell tells Deeks and Kensi that Sam is not able to reach Michelle. They are about to leave for
Sam’s house when Hetty arrives and tells them that they will have to partner up with CIA officer
Snyder and keep him busy till Sam and Callen get a handle on this case. She tells him that they
will have to keep the CIA in the loop if this case is about Sidirov and the missing nukes. Sam
checks on Michelle and finds out that she is fine. Deeks and Kensi manage to keep Snyder at the
boatshed and Snyder realizes that they are trying to stall him. Nell tells Callen that there was a
new number that popped up on Victor’s call list and it was from a burner phone. She is trying to
trace where it was purchased.
Sam and Callen are about to leave when Sam notices a car pull over and a man walks towards
the house. Sam follows him and he sees this guy hugging Michelle. Sam jumps at him. Michelle
tells Sam that this man is Officer Sobatino and he is CIA. Callen and Sam arrive at the boatshed
with Sobatino. Deeks and Kensi are surprised to learn that Granger wants then to work with
CIA. Eric appears on the screen and tells them that a computer logged on the chess park camera
ten minutes before Victor was killed and then logged off after his death. Sam and Michelle are
undercover as Foreman and Quinn. When they reach home, they find Dmitri waiting for Michelle.
He wants to know why she didn’t kill Kirkin. He thinks that Sam is distracting her and gives
her 24 hours to finish her task. Michelle tells him that it is difficult because Kirkin has doubled
his security and he seldom goes out. Dmitri tells her to get the job done and leaves. Sam calls
Eric and tells him to track Dmitri’s car. Sam leaves to follow Dmitri. Sobatino hits on Kensi and
when Snyder tells Deeks about Sobatino’s intentions, Deeks looks a little uncomfortable. Next
we see that Kensi likes Sobatino’s company. Sam is following Dmitri and the cops ask him to
pull over. They search him and find two guns and Victor’s murder weapon in his car.
Later, Hetty arrives to meet Sam in prison and Sam tells her that Sidirov wanted him out of
the way so that Quinn/Michelle could kill Kirkin because Sidirov knows that Quinn is used to
him being in prison. He knows that Sidirov wouldn’t kill him because that would make Michelle
too distraught to do the job. Hetty tells him that she is not going to bail him out for the moment
because she feels that Sam is going to be safe in prison. Sam is pissed. He fears that Michelle
is in danger and Hetty gives him her word that she will take care of Michelle at whatever cost.
Callen doesn’t like this idea and tells Hetty to spill out her master plan.
Hetty tells him that she doesn’t have one. She wants Callen and his team to come up with
one. Kensi has a plan. She tells them that they need to convince Kirkin to cooperate with them
so that they can convince Sidirov that Michelle killed Kirkin and that way he would come out of
his hiding and they can trace him back to the stolen nukes. The Agency guys like the plan. There
is just one problem; Deeks has to go to the spa where Kirkin works from. Deeks doesn’t like the
idea of being amidst naked men, but he has no options. He approaches Kirkin and tells him that
he is from NCIS and that they want to kill him. Kirkin’s guards tackle Deeks. Kensi is about to
go in when Deeks walks out and tells them that Kirkin has agreed to cooperate.
Sam tells the police officer that he wants his one phone call. He then assaults the officer
and escapes. Next, Kirkin is at a restaurant and he is ready. Kensi and Deeks are there as well.
Michelle walks in and shoots Kirkin, creating chaos and quickly leaves. Kensi sends the eyewitness
footage to Eric so that he can float it on the internet. Nell tells Hetty that the cops have
sent out an alert on David Foreman (Sam) because he assaulted a cop and escaped from prison.
Next, Michelle arrives at a park and waits for Sidirov and Dmitri. Snyder, Sobatino and Callen
are at the park too.
Sidirov and Dmitri arrive and Sidirov tells her that she needs to get on a flight and leave the
city for a while since she murdered Kirkin. Dmitri looks around and figures out that Snyder and
Sobatino are keeping an eye on them. He alerts Sidirov. Sidirov shoots Snyder and gets away
in a lifeguard’s van. Dmitri takes Michelle with him and is about to shoot her, but Sam arrives
and shoots Dmitri. Callen wonders how Sam tracked them and Sam tells him that he tracked
Michelle’s phone. Next, Sobatino is upset about his partner’s death and tells Kensi that he has
been called back to DC to head up a task force. He leaves.
A teary eyed Kensi then tells Deeks to promise her that he will never get himself killed. Later,
Sam and Callen arrive at the precinct and Hetty is in a foul mood. She tells Sam that he did not
trust her and escaped prison. She then tells him to go and spend some time with his family while
he can. She is going to have a tough time explaining to her superiors as to how Sidirov escaped
274

and why the only lead they had, is dead. She knows that all this is far from over.

Summary: When a murder weapon in Idaho matches a case in Los Angeles, Callen
and Sam head to Idaho to join NCIS:Red, a mobile team who travel to
various locations to solve crimes.
The episode begins with a car crash in
Moscow, Idaho. A man stumbles out of
the car and walks up to a public phone
to make a 911 call. Another car stops at
a distance and a man walks towards this
guy. The guy tells the 911 operator that
his car crashed and that someone is after
him. His voice is barely audible because
of the wind and heavy snow. The mysterious
man draws a gun and shoots the guy.
He then pulls out things from his pockets
and scatters it around the dead body. He
leaves. The car explodes.
At the office, Deeks finds a box on his
desk and he knows it is Kensi’s box, but
Kensi tells him that she is giving that box to him. Deeks finds it weird and thinks that it is some
sort of a trick. He decides to open the box, but is interrupted by Eric, who tells the team that
they have their next case. They go to ops, where Hetty tells them that a man was found shot in
the back of his head, execution style. The victim is Rachmed Santoso. Santoso, an Indonesian
national, was a vocal supporter of the radical Islam and a suspected arms dealer. Nell tells them
that the chatter in Taliban indicates that an attack on US is imminent. Hetty receives a call. Nell
tells the team that Santoso dropped off the grid ten days ago and the killer took his shoes. Hetty
tells them that there is a change in plans. The weapon that was used to kill Santoso, was also
used to kill Gunnery Sergeant Edward Tyler and he too was shot in the back of his head too. H
etty tells Sam and Callen that they should leave for Idaho and that their RED team is already
on the ground. She asks Kensi and Deeks to find Santoso’s shoes. Kensi and Deeks go to the
277

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
crime scene and they find a trail of footprints, but a single set. They follow the trail and find
the shoes neatly placed under a tree. Kensi concludes that the killer kills Santoso, wears his
shoes, walks down the road and steps in on his own footsteps, thereby eliminating them. Next,
Sam and Callen arrive in Moscow and Logistics Officer Danny Gallaghar welcomes them. He tells
them about his team is going to be led by Special Agent Paris Summerskill, but at the moment
she is being outranked by Granger. Sam and Callen are shocked to see Granger in Moscow.
Danny takes them to a truck, which is where they work from. He introduces them to the RED
team, which comprises of Paris Summerskill (the boss), Spl. Agent Dave Flynn (also the cook),
Spl. Agent Claire Keats, and Tech Assistant Kai Ashe. Paris briefs them on the case. Hetty calls
the team and tells them that ’they found the missing shoes’. Everyone finds the call weird and
Granger knows that Hetty is not telling them something. Sam and Callen try to work out the
connection between the two murders. Callen points out that a professional never uses the same
weapon again, and that too, a low velocity round.
The next day, Nell arrives at the Ops and finds that Eric did not go home last night. He tells
her that Hetty was freaked out at the fact that they did not have any leads. So, he stayed up
and went through the security footage and saw that Santoso had parked his car in a parking lot,
a quarter mile away from where his body was found. Santoso rented a car under a fake id, but
he slipped up by giving the hotel address to the car rental company. Eric tells Nell that Santoso
has been staying there for the past couple weeks and that is the time his name was linked to
the attacks. Kensi and Deeks go to the hotel room. They figure out that Santoso had company.
Kensi tells Eric to check the security footage for the last week. Deeks finds empty boxes of 9mm
ammo and lots of them. At the trailer, Callen and Paris discuss the crime scene and they notice
that Tyler’s cell phone is missing. They then reconstruct as to what could have happened and
they figure out that Tyler must have dropped his cell phone and that is why he used the public
phone to make the 911 call.
They go to the site and manage to retrieve the phone that was hidden under a thick coat of
snow. Sam tells Callen and Paris that Santoso had five people with him. They are on their way
back to the trailer and Paris tells them that they did not find much on Tyler’s phone. A truck
arrives and rams into their vehicle and tries to run them off the road. Sam breaks the sunroof
and shoots at the truck driver. Callen and Paris join in, but the driver escapes. Danny, who was
driving the car, is unconscious and Callen calls for help. Sam goes looking for the driver. Next,
at the trailer, the two teams are having a video conference and they go over the contents from
Tyler’s phone. Claire looks at a video that Tyler shot at the airport terminal and notices that a
man was trying to cover his face.
Hetty tells them to send the picture to all airports and find out about that man. Sam tells
the team that Tyler was wearing his uniform and so the man (probably a criminal) could have
doubted that Tyler was on to him. At the Ops, Kensi and Deeks go through security camera
footage and find four men leaving the building along with a driver. Hetty recognizes one of them.
At the trailer, Kai gets a hit on the airport guy and he tells them that he is probably using a fake
id, Robert Spears, but he flew into LA this morning. Hetty calls and tells the team that a man
named Alhed and four others were recorded leaving Santoso’s building. They are Afghani military
and disappeared from a DOD training last month. It is advanced aeronautics and all of them are
qualified pilots.
Sam and Callen arrive in LA with Paris and her team. Kensi tells them that Spears rented a
car which was used to pick up the men from Santoso’s building. He then upgraded and bought a
car with GPS which was found abandoned next to the house of a TSA officer. He was dead when
the police found him with the security card was missing. Callen tells Eric to find out which gate
the TSA personnel used at the airport. Eric locates the van and informs Callen. They too locate
the van. Sam alerts Kensi and asks her to stay close. They follow the van and a gun fight ensues,
in which four of them are dead and one slightly injured. Spears, manages to get away. Next, at
the office, Granger tells Hetty that the Red Team has one guy less because Danny is still in the
hospital. Hetty hands over a file to Granger and Granger is reluctant to approve it.
At that moment, Analyst Roy Haines arrives. Hetty is surprised that he is early. Hetty tells the
team that Roy will be filling in for Danny and she asks Paris if she is okay with it. It looks like
Roy and Paris have had some kind of a ’history’ because Paris lands a heavy punch across Roy’s
face. Later, we learn that Roy and Paris were partners and that he was on an operation where he
was investigating an arms dealer in NY. An ambushed followed and three of the assailants were
278

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
killed and Roy was wounded and almost died. Hetty believes that there is more to the story that
Roy isn’t telling them.
Eric tells the whole team that they have a lead on Spears. Spears made a satellite call three
minutes after he slipped away. Spears, tells the guy on the other line that he will take some time
to organize and get Alhed to him. He tells him to stay at a hotel in Al Centro and to use the name
Jackson. Hetty sends Callen to interrogate the terrorist they have in custody. She tells Paris to
keep an eye on the hotel. Paris is about to leave and Hetty reminds her to take Roy along with
her.

Summary: While the LA team chases leads digitally and locally, the NCIS:Red
team travels in their mobile trucks, nicknamed ”Laverne and Shirley,”
in a race to track down a cunning terrorist before he disappears.
The episode begins with Granger
telling Hetty that he still cannot understand
as to who redacted the report on
Roy’s shooting. He feels that there are a
lot of unanswered questions about that
night. Next, the Red team arrives at El
Centro (Roy included). Callen and Hana
interrogate Ari Yusuf Sayed, the terrorist
they captured. Deeks is sure that Ari
would not speak till the time Spears is
out there. Callen and Sam lie to Ari saying
that Spears was killed in El Centro by
the guy who helped Spears cross Mexico.
Ari is shocked. They know that Ari knows
the name of the other guy.
Ari tells them that he is Jose Ramirez. They inform the Red team about Ramirez. Paris briefs
her team about Ramirez. She says that Ramirez specializes in smuggling people and weapons
across the border. They find out that Ramirez owns a ranch and they decide to check it out. Roy
tells them that there is just one way into Ramirez’s ranch and so they need to be careful. Dave,
Paris and Claire go to the ranch and click some pictures. They see seven guys walking out and
getting into two cars. They leave immediately. The two cars follow them and Paris thinks that
they are on to them. Claire thinks it is not possible as they just got there, but Paris is right. One
of the guys begins shooting at them. Claire takes charge and a gun fight ensues.
One of Ramirez’s cars flips and the driver gets out. He is about to shoot Dave and Paris shoots
him. They arrive at the trailer and Roy tells them that he had some drinks with the County
Sheriff. After the Sheriff got drunk, he let Roy download the GPS database with which they can
281

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
track down the GPS in Ramirez’s car. At the ops, Granger is going through the video from the
airport and Hetty arrives. He tells her that five years ago, when he was in the Special Task Force,
Bobby Wilson, a whistle blower was murdered despite being under witness protection and they
could not get his testimony. The MO was not exactly the same (the killer used a pillow to muffle
the sound), but it did keep him awake for months.
Granger feels that Spears is the same guy who killed Bobby. He also feels that if Ari says that
Spears is a fundamentalist, then what was he doing acting as a contract killer five years ago? In
the trailer, Dave goes through Roy’s GPS database and tells Paris that there are multiple trips
made in and out of El Centro and the first visit is to Ramirez’s ranch and the ranch is also the
final destination. The second most visited place is a beach and it is worth checking out. Next,
Eric hands a flash drive to Deeks and Kensi which contains all the unsolved murders from the
past five years, where the victim was shot in the head with a low velocity round.
Hetty wants the duo to go through the files and search for common denominators. Nell arrives
and tells them that she found surveillance pictures from outside the airport where Spears is
talking to a man wearing a red scarf. Alongside, Dave, Claire and Paris arrive at the beach. Dave
tells them that there is a house at a distance and Paris tells them that they will walk. When
they arrive at the house, they find bodies lying in front of the house. They go inside and find
multiple dead bodies lying dead on the ground. Claire realizes that they are illegal immigrants.
They go outside and see that Ramirez is dead, a single gunshot to the back of his head. It looks
like Spears was a step ahead of them.
Later, Sam and Callen arrive at the scene. Paris tells them that there are 15 bodies, including
Ramirez and his two bodyguards. They feel that Ramirez was tipped off that somebody was trying
to get to him. So, they arrive at the house, the body guards go in and kill the immigrants. Paris
tells them that Ramirez was already dead when the two bodyguards came out and they too were
shot at the back of their heads. Callen feels that something is not adding up.
At the trailer, Roy fixes the waste pipeline and Kai comes out to talk to him. Kai thinks that
it was dumb of Spears to kill Ramirez. Roy says that the MO is the shooter’s signature and that
they haven’t yet proved that Spears is the shooter. Next, Hetty calls Deeks and Kensi to the ops.
They are on a video call with Kai and Roy. Eric tells him that they managed to get footage of the
guy wearing the red scarf. His name is Tommy Kraus. Tommy has a satellite phone and it is the
same phone used to contact Spears. Nell says that Kraus is an underworld ’fix it’ guy and he can
arrange for anything and everything. Hetty wants Deeks and Kensi to get Kraus.
They go to Kraus’s house and meet Brett. They pressurize Brett a little and Brett tells them
that Kraus has gone to some hotel in El Centro and won’t be back until the next day. They stake
out the hotel and arrest Kraus. At the ops, Kensi tells Hetty that there are 13 cases in the past
that match with the recent killings. Granger thinks that they are contract killings. The question
is, why would a Jihadist get into contract killings? Next, Dave examines the bullets that killed
Ramirez and his bodyguards and finds something. During the interrogation, Kraus tells Claire
and Sam that he is not an enemy of the country. He says that the moment he found out what
Spears was up to, he decided to put an end to it. He says that he hired a contractor to clear the
mess, Santoso, Ramirez and Spears. They are shocked to learn that Spears isn’t the killer, he is
the target.
Nell and Eric go through the airport footage and see that Kraus is talking to someone. It is a
woman. Kraus tells Claire and Sam that the shooter is a woman. Dave tells Paris that there is
lipstick on the bullets that he examined. Nell and Eric look at the women and feel that they have
seen her before. She was on the footage that the Marine shot at the airport. At the hotel, Paris
also realizes who the killer might be. She sees that killer get into the elevator. A gun fight ensues
between Paris and the shooter and also between Callen and Spears. Spears, gets shot by Callen.
In the parking lot, the shooter is about to shoot Paris from a point blank range, but Roy arrives
from behind and takes down the shooter.
Paris takes the shooter’s gun and pulls out the magazine and sees that there are lipstick
marks on the bullets, ’the kiss of death’. Next, Paris tells Callen to stay back for dinner, but he
tells her that they need to leave because Sam has a family. He wants to know what happened
between her and Roy. She tells him that it is complicated. Roy comes out and tells Paris that they
have a new case and it involves a ’long’ trip. At the precinct, Hetty tells Granger that Tyler did
not get killed because he filmed Spears; he got killed because he filmed the woman. The woman
has been killing for years for money. Granger is relieved that the woman who killed his witness

Summary: After a Navy lieutenant and pilot are poisoned by cyanide laced water,
the NCIS team investigates to see if the two were targeted or if it was a
trial run for a large-scale contamination.
The episode begins at a strip club,
where few friends are celebrating their
friend’s birthday. A lap dancer arrives
and takes Joshua, the birthday boy, for
a special treat. As soon as they enter
the room, Joshua feels a little unwell. He
passes out and the girl goes to get his
friends. The friends arrive and see that
Joshua is frothing and having seizures.
They try to retrieve him. At that moment,
another officer falls on the ground. At the
office, Kensi has lost her tax return form
and it needs to be submitted next week.
She is shocked to learn that the rest of
them have already submitted it. Eric arrives,
announcing the latest case.
In OPS, they watch the footage from the strip club. Eric tells them that the dead guy is Lt.
Joshua Gordon, a Navy pilot. The other officer who passed out is Naval Flight Officer Randall
Baker and they also have a dead dancer. Eric and Nell tell them that it is cyanide poisoning,
and that Officer Baker will soon be released from the hospital. The people who were poisoned
weren’t drinking any alcohol; only water. Eric tells them that the Jihadist group is taking credit
for this attack on the internet. Sam reads the post and tells the group that the message is full
of grammatical errors. He feels that the person who wrote this doesn’t seem to know Arabic that
well. Hetty thinks that that someone is trying to point fingers to deflect attention. Kensi and
Deeks go to the bikini bar for investigation. They meet Detective Lopez and Lopez shows them
that bottle of water that is poisoned.
285

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
He says that the water was changed by the janitor, Zaki Faheem. They have found the cap
of the bottle and it looks like someone injected poison in advance. They are looking for Faheem.
Deeks says that he wants to review last night’s footage. Callen and Sam are talking to Baker.
They ask him about Joshua and if he had any enemies. Baker tells them that Joshua was a good
man and it was not in his nature to make enemies. He says that he raised his voice only once on
a guy named Fryman. Fryman is no longer in the service and was dishonorably discharged. Sam
and Callen notice that Baker’s hands are shaking and Baker explains that this is the side effects
of cyanide and it should get better with time. Kensi and Deeks find a syringe in the dumpster
behind the bar.
They inform Eric and Nell. Nell tells Kensi that they have located Faheem’s cousin. She also
tells her that 200 pounds of cyanide has gone missing from a silver coating factory. Sam and
Callen go to meet Dominic Fryman. Dominic tells them that he never got along with anyone in
the Navy and also he wanted to be home with his son. They ask him about Joshua. He tells them
that Joshua had no family, no girlfriend and he never even dated anyone. He says that Joshua
had a lot of secrets. Elsewhere, Kensi and Deeks manage to arrest Faheem and bring him to the
interrogation room. Faheem tells them that he did not tamper with the water. He says that he
heard about the dead guy and was sure that they would suspect him. That is why he called in
sick.
Kensi and Deeks learn that Faheem is a well educated man and he works at the bar for
money. They tell him that they will go through every email, text and phone call made by him.
He tells them that a man with a beer belly kept coming for two nights in a row, asking if there
were any job openings. Deeks wants him to identify this man from the security footage. Callen
and Sam go to the silver coating factory and the woman at the factory tells them that they had
ordered for five barrels of cyanide and there are just four. They check the remaining barrels and
find out that they contain salt and not cyanide. This means that 1000 pounds of cyanide has
gone missing, enough to kill 4 million people. Sam and Callen arrive at the ops and Hetty turns
on the news channel.
It seems that three heart attacks have been reported in the past five minutes. Callen thinks
that the cyanide could be in the city’s drinking water. Later, Eric tells the team that the COD in
the three cases is cyanide poisoning. There was only one house in that block that gets bottled
drinking water. Sam thinks that this was a local attack. Callen tells Kensi and Deeks to check
the water supply in the neighborhood. He tells Eric to pull any recent rentals or vacant house in
the same neighborhood. Kensi poses as an ambassador from the water supply department and
tells the people that she can offer them tips on reducing their water bills. She says that she will
need to check their faucet settings and supply pipes. They agree.
Deeks poses as a water sewage worker. The owner of the house, an old man named Eugene,
tells Kensi that she should not go to the next house. He says that they shoot porn films and it
will not be safe for her. At the ops, Nell receives a message from Kensi saying that she stumbled
upon an adult film shoot. Eric tells her that Chanceworth is an epicenter of that industry. Eric
tells Callen that he got a hit on a vacant house a block away from the area of the poisonings.
Callen tells him to check on it. Kensi goes to the vacant house and sees a machine connected to
the faucet. She tells Deeks to come to the house. At the ops, Eric tells Callen about a group called
DNA (Designing New America), which aims at making America a better place for the children to
grow up.
They want to get rid of child molesters, drug dealer, violent felons, etc. Callen tells them that
it is obvious that they have a grudge against strip clubs. Nell tells them that they are coming up
with protest at a lot of events like, political speeches, federal buildings, military funerals etc. Nell
also tells Callen that the group wants the Defense to redirect their funds for education instead
of war. At the house, Deeks and Kensi confirm that the pump they found was used to pump
cyanide into the water system. Next, Sam walks up to a group of protesters at a military funeral.
Callen, who is posing as a protestor, gets into a fight with Sam. The group leader is impressed
with Callen’s conviction and tells him that he should join their group.
The leader’s name is Lawrence De Vries. Eric runs a facial recognition and finds out that
Lawrence is a member of the DNA. Lawrence wants Callen to wear a blindfold while he drives
him to the place where they function from. Sam is keeping a close watch on Lawrence. Nell tells
Kensi that the vacant house had a plumbing visit and there was some equipment that was taken
inside the house, but never came out. The van that transported the equipment was from a rental
286

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
company. Kensi and Deeks go to check the car rental company. There they find Alex, Dominic’s
son. Alex tells them that the company belongs to his uncle. The uncle tells them that he cargo
van was rented by a Mexican guy.
They check the copy of the driver’s license and learn that it was Faheem. They go to Faheem’s
house. Elsewhere, Lawrence arrives at his secret club house with Callen. Eric and Nell tell Kensi
and Deeks that Faheem does not even have a proper license. They send them a traffic camera
footage, in which they see that the guy they met at the rental company was the one driving the
van. They decide to go back to the rental company. At the club house, Callen learns that he
has been played. Lawrence arrives with Dominic Fryman and the guy from the rental company.
Dominic is the leader of the DNA group. He tells Callen that he is trying to change America into
a better place for their children.
Dominic gives Callen two options; either they shoot him to death or he drinks the cyanide.
Callen tells him that he is not setting a good example for his son by doing this. Callen decides to
drink the cyanide and they lock him up in a room. Eric and Nell manage to trace Callen’s location
and Sam goes to the warehouse to search for Callen. Sam finds Callen and also sees a syringe
lying next to him. It looks like he took an antidote. He is glad to see that Callen is fine. Later, at
the ops, the team gears up to find Dominic and his team. Callen is not too stable because of the
poison, but he insists on going with the team. Nell tells about an unauthorized repair work at
the city’s main access points. Next, the team arrives at the site.
A gun fight ensues and Dominic loses all his men. He refuses to surrender. He ingests a bit of
the cyanide and falls on to the ground. Callen tells them that they need to find the cyanide. He
finds Alex sitting next to the equipment, ready to pull the valve. Callen convinces him to back off.
Case closed. The next day, Hetty pulls a prank on Deeks. Callen arrives to meet Alex and they
play a game of catch.

Production Code: 421
Summary: The missing body of a cartel boss sends Kensi and Deeks to Mexico
while the rest of the NCIS team looks for a potential leak within the
DEA’s special task force.
The episode begins in a morgue in Tijuana,
Mexico, where two morgue technicians
are having lunch. They get a call
and are informed about the arrival of a
new body. The guys arrive and the technicians
check the form that is handed over
to them. They look slightly surprised.
They hear some noise coming from one
of the containers, and they go to check it.
A man, who was hiding in the container,
shoots them and walks away with the
recently arrived corpse. At the precinct,
Sam wants Kensi to babysit his kids on
Saturday, since he wants to go to the clipper’s
game with Callen. Kensi tells him
that she is not good with kids.
Deeks agrees to help Kensi, but she is still reluctant. They label her as a ”kid hater”. Eric
announces that they have a new case. In Ops, Eric briefs them on Miguel Barbosa, the kingpin
of the Barbosa cartel in Tijuana, Mexico. Nell tells them that Barbosa was gunned down in a
shootout with the law enforcement, backed by the US Navy and DEA, but Barbosa’s corpse was
stolen upon arrival at the morgue. Sam tells them that this is a regular occurrence with the
cartels. While watching the video footage from the morgue, Callen figures out that the shooter
knew that the corpse was coming in. They also figure out that the shooter was waiting in the
container for two hours.
Deeks concludes that the shooter knew that the gunfight was going to happen and Barbosa
was going to get killed. Callen thinks that their side has a leak. So, they need to find the leak and
track down Barbosa’s body. Eric also tells them that this operation was headed by Agent John
Ness, from the DEA (Drug Enforcement Agency). Nell adds that the Tijuana Police have a high
value informant, who is an expert on the Barbosa cartel, but they will only release information
on him in person, and on their own turf. Callen and Sam decide to talk to Ness, whereas Kensi
289

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
and Deeks head to Tijuana to talk to the police. At the DEA’s office, Callen and Sam learn that
Ness chased Barbosa for ten years, and he also lost a leg.
Sam notices that this session is being recorded, and Callen assures Ness that they do not
doubt him. Sam tells Ness that this case is not over until they locate Barbosa’s body. Ness shows
them a picture of Barbosa’s dead face, and tells them that it was sent to him from the scene. The
duo leaves. Deeks and Kensi are at a bar in Mexico. They meet Officer Sanchez from the Mexican
Police Dept. They ask him about the informant, and Sanchez points out at the boy singing on
stage. At that moment, Sanchez gets shot. Deeks manages to save Javier, the informant. On their
way back, Javier tells them that he wants a lawyer. Deeks and Kensi continue their discussion
on kids.
Kensi then tells Javier that he is not going to get a lawyer because ”she said so”. Javier
says that Kensi is crazy and she reminds him of his mother. Deeks assures Javier that he is
absolutely safe with them. At the office, Eric tells Sam and Callen that Javier is a narcocorrida,
a cartel singer. They make music that glorifies criminals like Barbosa. Javier was Barbosa’s
personal songwriter and performer. It seems that Barbosa’s cartel was having problems because
Barbosa’s right hand man, Pedro Moreno, wanted to take over. The men were taking sides and
there could have been a civil war, but Barbosa died, and hence the war did not take place.
Callen thinks that Moreno killing Javier, would be the final nail on Barbosa’s coffin and his
legacy forever. In the car, Kensi tells Javier that those men didn’t want to kill him. The shooters
took shots at Sanchez, her and Deeks. They wanted Javier alive. Next, Callen and Sam go to
meet Ness. Ness, offers them macaroni and cheese, but they pass. They tell Ness about the
recent findings and ask him for his opinion. Ness, who is having his breakfast, chokes and falls
dead on the ground. Sam thinks that Ness was poisoned. Callen orders the security to lock down
the facility. Later, Sam tells Callen that there are no leads on Ness’s killer. Hetty arrives and tells
the duo that the Secretary of Navy wants an after-action report on Ness’s murder.
Sam decides to go and meet him and tells Callen to go to Kensi and Deeks. In the interrogation
room, Javier tells Kensi and Deeks about a song he wrote for Barbosa, he called ’Resurrection’.
Barbosa asked him never to sing that song to anyone because it could ruin a surprise. Callen
concludes that Barbosa is alive. Later, Eric shows Callen and Sam the pictures from the shootout,
and thinks that Barbosa faked his own death, it was a decoy. Callen thinks that Ness was so
obsessed with Barbosa that he got tricked. This is why Barbosa had his body stolen from the
morgue, before the officials found out that the dead body was a decoy.
Since stealing bodies from the morgue is a routine with the cartels, no one suspected a foul
play. Hetty explains that Barbosa wanted Ness and Moreno to let their guards down, so that he
could easily kill them. She says that they must find him soon. In the interrogation room, Kensi
and Deeks tell Javier to help them find Barbosa and they could put him in witness protection,
but there are no guarantees. They give him some time to think. Hetty is not too happy to use
Javier to lure out Barbosa. She thinks that not only will they risk Javier’s life, but this will also
put Kensi and Deeks in danger. Callen convinces her that this is their best option.
Later, Javier agrees to help the team. Deeks and Kensi drive down the road to witness protection
when they see a silver Range Rover following them. Javier tells them that Barbosa has got
people everywhere. Deeks tells Kensi to make a turn, but that road is blocked by a garbage truck.
Deeks realizes that this is a trap. A gun fight ensues. Javier gets out of the car and runs. The
silver Range Rover arrives and two men shove Javier into the car. They take Javier to Barbosa’s
hideout. Javier is shocked to see Barbosa. The NCIS team has placed a button camera on Javier’s
shirt. Eric and Hetty watch Barbosa talking to Javier.
Hetty is sure that Barbosa won’t keep Javier alive for long. Nell tracks the location through
the camera’s GPS and sends it to Deeks and Kensi. They arrive at the building and they notice
several security cameras. Barbosa asks Javier what he told NCIS. Javier says that he did not
tell them anything because he himself didn’t know that he (Barbosa) was alive. Barbosa doesn’t
believe this. His men beat up Javier. At that moment, Barbosa receives a call from Ness. He is
shocked. He looks at the monitor and sees a man walking into the building. He cannot believe
his eyes because he himself killed Ness. He threatens Ness that he will kill him again.
Barbosa tells his men to leave Javier and go after Ness. It is seen that the guy who Barbosa
saw on the monitor, is Callen. Callen impersonated Ness very well and tricked Barbosa. Callen
lures Barbosa’s men to an entire team waiting outside the building. Barbosa is about to shoot
Javier when Kensi and Deeks enter the room. They manage to gun down Barbosa with Javier’s

kids, but only if Deeks agrees to help her. Deeks agrees.

Summary: Callen questions Hetty’s motivations when a bizarre case involving a
mysterious woman is revealed to be an undercover agent from her
past.
The episode begins with a woman arriving
in a parking garage. She sees three
men walking towards her. She tries to
run. She finds another man standing
next to his car and she asks him for help,
but one of the three men, shoots him.
One of them manages to grab the woman.
At the office, Sam tells Callen to dress
up as professor Lupin, a werewolf, for his
daughter’s birthday party. Callen reluctantly
agrees. Kensi is cleaning her gun
with Deeks’ t-shirt when Deeks arrives
and tells her that he had that t-shirt since
high school. He says that it was his rock
band’s uniform.
Kensi is surprised and wants Deeks to sing, else she would tell Callen and Sam about Deeks’
band and they will use all the available technology to dig out the footage of him singing. Deeks
begins to sing (he is terrible) when Eric arrives and tells them that Hetty wants them in ops. Nell
tells the team that a woman was attacked by three men and two of her attackers, along with a
by stander, have been killed and the woman is missing. Callen wants to know why they need to
solve this case. Hetty tells him that ’she’ wants them to solve this case. They don’t find any leads
on the woman and the attackers. Hetty tells them to find out about the attackers’ identity.
Kensi and Deeks examine the dead bodies, but they don’t find anything. There are no ids and
fingerprints. The facial recognition also came up with no results. Sam and Callen examine the
crime scene and Sam finds a lot of blood on the stairs. He sends Eric some pictures. Hetty looks
worried. The team comes back to their desks and Eric tells them that Nell found some additional
footage from outside the garage. They see that he woman tackles her attackers and ends up
gunning down two of them, and the third attacker was also shot, but he survived. Everyone is
amazed. Sam thinks that the woman is a professional.
Kensi wants to know who the woman is. Callen wonders why Hetty is interested in this woman.
Hetty arrives at the boat house and knows that the ’mystery woman’ is hiding there. She is glad to
293

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
see that the woman is fine and the bullet just grazed her. At the office, Sam and Callen figure out
that Hetty is holding out on them. They also know that Hetty is protecting the mystery woman.
Callen and Sam arrive at the boat house because they figured out that they might find Hetty
there. Callen wants answers. Hetty tells them that the woman’s name is Grace Stevens and that
she is one of theirs.
Later, Grace tells Callen and Sam that a guy named Nolan Vandenberg, who came up on
their radar, has been supplying equipment that could be used to facilitate the enemy’s nuclear
program. She says that she went undercover and lived with Vandenberg for three years and
worked with him for 11 months, but she wasn’t able to find who he is supplying to. She says
that when Vandenberg found out about her, he sent his men to kill her. She feels that after last
night, Vandenberg might have fled the country.
At the OPS, Nell tells the team that Vandenberg’s company has purchased a property in North
Mexico. Nell also finds out that Vandenberg has not left the country and he has booked a three
bedroom suite at a hotel in Baltimore. Callen tells Eric to find out more about Grace and her
reason to join NCIS. Eric fears that he might run into trouble. Callen tells him that he won’t,
if he doesn’t get caught. Next, Deeks and Kensi pose as a couple and book a suite in the same
hotel. Callen and Sam are in the lobby. Nell poses as the housekeeping staff. Kensi fixes a button
camera on Nell’s uniform. Callen and Sam spot Vandenberg in the lobby.
Nell goes into Vandenberg’s room and goes through his briefcase. She finds audio and video
bug detection devices, and she disables them. At that moment, she hears the sound of the flush.
She quickly places the briefcase back in its original position. A man with a gunshot wound walks
out of the bathroom. Grace, who is watching the team from ops, identifies him as Visser, one of
her attackers, who she shot. She tells the team to get Nell out of there. Kensi poses as a member
of the Hotel Management team, and manages to get Nell out of the room. In the lobby, Sam and
Callen see that two men arrive to meet Vandenberg. Grace tells them that she has never seen
them before. Eric runs a facial recognition, and finds out that they are attachés from Niger and
Namibia, the third and the fourth largest suppliers of Uranium.
Callen notices that they handover a case to Vandenberg, and he decides that they should get
hold of it and Vandenberg. Callen tells his team to be in position. Visser leaves his room to go
to the lobby. Kensi tries to stall Visser, but she fails. Deeks and Nell are in position. Everyone
waits for Callen’s orders, but Callen aborts the operation. At the ops, Sam tells the team that
they should bring in Vandenberg. Grace tells them that with Vandenberg out of the picture, the
attachés will look for other suppliers. Deeks suggests that they could set up a bogus company
and act as the ones who could supply them with the equipments. Everyone likes the idea. Callen
goes to ops and asks Eric if he managed to locate Vandenberg.
Eric tells him that he has no clue as to how he exited the hotel. Eric hands a flash drive to
Callen. It has Grace’s history in it. Eric tells him that Grace’s past is very much like Sullivan’s,
Hunter’s and his (Callen). Callen goes through the contents of the drive. Sam arrives and notices
that Callen looks slightly disturbed. He asks Callen what’s going on but Callen doesn’t say
anything. Callen confronts Hetty. He knows that Grace was an orphan just like Sullivan, Hunter
and him, who Hetty plucked out of an orphanage, trained them and recruited them into NCIS.
He wants to know how many of them has she done that with. Hetty loses her cool and yells ”A
lot”. Callen leaves.
Later, Callen and Grace have a short conversation. During the conversation, Callen has a new
idea. He tells Grace that since Vandenberg still wants her dead, they could use her as a bait to
lure him out. Next, the news channels broadcast about a woman who was attacked and left in
an alley. It is Grace. At the hospital, it has been two hours, and the team is about to lose hope
when Vandenberg arrives to meet Grace. The team manages to arrest him, Visser and another
bodyguard. Case closed. Next, Hetty pours a fifty year old whisky for Callen and apologizes for
losing her temper. Callen admits that he should not have instigated her. They have a long chat.

Summary: Looking for information on a notorious arms dealer, Deeks goes undercover
and makes friends with a female source. While keeping surveillance
on Deeks and the woman, Kensi is challenged by new emotions.
The episode begins with a guy trying to
gun down a woman walking on the street,
but he misses his shot. A chase ensues
and the woman gets into a black car. A
guy steps out of the car and fires at the
shooter. Taking advantage of the distraction,
he gets back in and asks the woman
what she did this time. The woman kisses
him. It is Deeks. They quickly drive away.
At the office, Callen, Kensi and Sam talk
about fitness and workouts. Eric tells
them that Hetty wants to them in the
ops. Nell shows them surveillance footage
and tells them that an hour back, Monica
Davis was the intended target of a shooter
in Hollywood.
Sam notices the way Monica evades the bullets; it looks like she is used to being shot at. Eric
tells them that Monica is a hostess at an Afro-beat night club, N’Kosi. They wonder why someone
is trying to shoot Monica. Hetty thinks that the shooter may be involved with Johannes Waaldt
aka Jojo, the owner of N’Kosi. It appears that Waaldt does a lot of charity work in Africa, but
back in the day, he was a well known international arms dealer. Callen thinks that Monica must
have seen something she wasn’t supposed to see. Hetty tells them that they don’t know that for
sure because they haven’t heard from their inside man, Deeks aka Max Gentry. Nell enlarges the
part of the footage where Monica kisses Deeks. Kensi is surprised.
Hetty tells them that Granger set this up and Deeks is undercover. Nell tells them that Deeks
hasn’t checked in yet. At home, Deeks tells Monica that she screwed up the whole thing and
now she is in danger. Monica doesn’t understand the seriousness of the situation and she is
busy seducing Deeks. Deeks had told Monica to quietly sneak in and get some pictures, but she
ended up stealing a pouch of diamonds from Waaldt. Deeks feels that this whole thing is a bad
idea. At the office, Kensi is worried that they haven’t heard from Deeks. Nell arrives and tells
them that Deeks sent an encrypted text which didn’t reveal much. Hetty tells Kensi to backup
295

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
Deeks. Sam and Callen decide to go to the club to find out more. Callen is worried about Kensi,
and tells Eric and Nell to keep an eye on her.
Sam and Callen arrive at the club and tell them that they want to book the club for an event.
Sam is wearing a button camera. He sees Waaldt sitting with two other men. Nell and Eric run
a facial recognition. Nell tells Sam that their shooter is Pieter Smit, a South African native, and
he has worked as security for a lot of cartels. The other man is an international banker, Noah
Bernisoni, but he has no criminal records. Elsewhere, Kensi texts Deeks and tells him to wear
his ear wig. She asks him what is going on. He tells her the whole story. He feels that Kensi is
jealous of Monica, but Kensi denies it. Monica hears Deeks talking and wants to know who he is
talking to. He gives her some stupid excuse. Monica kisses him and Kensi can hear them.
At the office, Nell tells Sam and Callen about the diamonds. Callen tells Sam that they might
have to use some new tactic to get to Waaldt. At the safe house, Monica is still trying her best
to seduce Deeks. Kensi does not like it. Waaldt calls Monica and Deeks tells her not to answer
the call because Waaldt can track them down. Monica doesn’t listen and picks up the call. She
tells Waaldt that he has to pay up if he wants the diamonds. Next, Callen and Sam manage to
get hold of Pieter. Kensi arrives at the safe house and tells Deeks that Sam and Callen have got
the shooter, and that they want to use Monica to turn him. Deeks goes to the bedroom to get
Monica, but he finds out that she escaped through the window. She took the diamonds along
with her. He definitely didn’t see that coming.
Sam and Callen bring Pieter to the boat house. They try to get him to talk, but he doesn’t say
anything. Eric calls Callen and Sam, and tells them that Monica escaped with the diamonds, but
since her cell phone is on, they are able to track her. Also, Kensi and Deeks are following her.
Callen asks Eric where Granger is. Eric tells him that Granger is untraceable. Kensi and Deeks
arrest Monica, and Deeks reveals his true identity. Back in the interrogation, Callen asks Pieter
what Waaldt is planning to do, but Pieter refuses to answer. Sam prepares to clip off Pieter’s ear.
Pieter tells them that Waaldt was brokering a deal, but he doesn’t know for what. He tells them
that Bernisoni was negotiating for the seller.
He also tells them that the seller is a Russian because he heard him speak Russian when
he came to the club a few days ago. This means that Pieter saw the guy. They show him some
photographs and ask him to identify the seller. It is Sidirov. Deeks and Kensi arrive with Monica.
Callen tells them that Sidirov is the seller and Pieter doesn’t know anything about the buyer.
Callen tells them that they need to come up with a plan. They think that they can make Waaldt
believe that Pieter and Monica paired up and stole the diamonds, but for that Monica needs to
co-operate. Deeks decides to talk to Monica. Monica tells him that she risked her life for him, but
he ended up lying to her. He tells her that he did not tell her to steal the diamonds. Monica still
has feelings for him and she tells him that she is ready to co-operate.
Deeks tells her to call Waaldt and tell him that she is scared of him because he tried to kill her.
He tells her to tell Waaldt that she is ready to give him the diamonds for a hundred thousand.
Monica tells Deeks that she will ask for $250,000. She then whispers something into Deeks ears.
Deeks walks out of the room. Kensi tries to talk to him, but Callen stops her. Kensi goes inside
and wires Monica up. Monica asks her if she trusts Deeks. Kensi tells her that she trusts Deeks
with everything because he is her partner. Later, Monica arrives at the decided spot with the
diamonds. The entire team is present there, but in disguise. Waaldt arrives with his men and the
exchange takes place. He shoots Monica, but the Kevalar saves her.
Kensi shoots Waaldt. Deeks checks on Monica. She tells him that she was better off with Max.
Case Closed. Next, at the office, Kensi arrives to hand over an envelope to Deeks. She tells him
that it is from Hetty. She then asks him about Monica. He tells her that she is sore, but definitely
lucky. Kensi tells him that Waaldt hasn’t said a word yet. Deeks asks her if she is alright. She
tells him that she is. It is an awkward moment. Kensi leaves. Deeks opens the letter that Hetty
sent him. It says, ”Sunshine and Gunpowder”. Deeks smiles.

Summary: As the search for stolen nuclear weapons is revived, Hetty sends Callen
and Kensi overseas while Deeks helps stateside as Sam and Michelle
go undercover.
The episode begins with a group of Geologists
surveying a barren land. One of
the students spots something at a distance.
They go to check. The professor
notices the timer on the nuclear weapon
and tells his students that they need to
get out of this place. They try run as fast
as possible. The bomb explodes. In the
ops, Eric tells the team that Gamma rays
and X-rays were picked up by satellites,
but the radiation has affected only the
uninhabited areas of the desert. Granger
is on a video conference with his team
and he tells them that Russia, China,
Great Britain and India have denied any
involvement.
Callen tells Hetty that this is like the Wella incident. Sam and Michelle arrive. Sam tells Kensi
that in ’79, there was a nuclear explosion and no country took responsibility. Granger thinks
that this is one of the three bombs Sidirov acquired. This was done to prove that the bombs are
functional and it also exponentially increases the value of the other two bombs. Granger tells the
team that NCIS and CIA have been keeping an eye on a man named, Michael Zhrov. Michelle
tells them that Zhrov works with Sidirov and meets potential clients when Sidirov is in the wind.
They need to find Sidirov and also make a plan to get hold of the other two bombs. Hetty tells
the team that Callen and Kensi will be going to Iran. Kensi is preparing to leave for Iran. Deeks
is worried.
Later, in Iran, Callen and Kensi manage to capture Marcel Janvier. In the ops, Nell tells the
team that a white cargo van entered Mexico two days before the explosion. It was detected by the
297

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
radiation center. However, the Mexican border patrol missed it. That is how Sidirov got the bomb
into Mexico. Later, the same van was spotted outside the Biltmore hotel in Los Angeles. Nell tells
them that according to CIA, three men from Sidirov’s gang entered the United States and stayed
within blocks from the Biltmore hotel. Deeks tells them that CIA doesn’t have surveillance of
Sidirov arriving or leaving. Granger tells them that they need to find Sidirov soon. Sam, Deeks,
and Michelle stakeout the Biltmore hotel. Michelle sees a black woman entering the hotel. She
tells them that she is Sidirov’s types.
Moreover, she is wearing an expensive designer dress; a designer who Sidirov pays to ”doll” the
girls. Eric tells the team that the girl got off on the 9th floor and one of Sidirov’s men has opened
the door. This means that Sidirov is in there. Eric tells them that there are no cameras around
the stairs and they lead straight o the garage. Michelle tells them that Sidirov always takes the
stairs and has 3-4 men with him. On their flight back, Callen tells Janvier that he wants him
to broker an arms deal for them. He tells Janvier that this way he could exact revenge against
Vaziri and Iran for cutting off his hand. Sam and Michelle assume their undercover identities
(David and Quinn) and capture Sidirov.
They tell him that they need a lot of money, and want him to go to the bank and withdraw
the money. Sidirov asks his men to stand down. On the flight, Callen tells Janvier that he wants
him to call Vaziri and make him an offer; a nuclear bomb. Kensi tells him that their mission
was designed to prove that he (Janvier) financed his escape from prison. They ask him to call
the Iranian Ministry of Intelligence and ask them to have Vaziri call him. Sam and Sidirov are in
the bank, and Sidirov wire transfers the money to Sam’s account. Outside, Deeks arrives with
the cops and tells Sidirov’s men to drop their weapons. Sidirov sees this and flees the scene
with Michelle and Sam. Granger arrives at the scene. He tells Deeks to bury Sidirov’s men in the
system.
In the boathouse, Janvier receives a call from Vaziri. Eric traces the call. Janvier tells him
about the weapons. In return, he wants Vaziri to guarantee his freedom and also a nice profit
from the deal. Vaziri tells him to set up a meeting with the seller. After the call, Janvier tells
Callen that he wants a good amount of money sent to his daughter in Paris. Callen tells Janvier
to call Zhrov and tell him that they he has a buyer for the weapons. Callen also tells him that
his daughter will not get any money if they don’t find the other two weapons. Sidirov arrives with
Sam and Michelle (David and Quinn) to meet Zhrov. He tells Zhrov that he wants to move the
merchandise and get out of the country. Zhrov tells him about Janvier’s call.
Sidirov trusts Janvier and tells Zhrov to set up a meeting. He then tells Sam and Michelle that
he wants them to protect him. They ask him to pay upfront. Sidirov introduces them to Veronica
and Maya, two ex officers from Russian Special Forces. Sidirov tells Zhrov to call Janvier and
fix the meeting but the location would be decided by him. Zhrov calls Janvier and tells him the
location. As per Callen’s instructions, Janvier tries to tell him that the buyer wants to decide the
location, but when Zhrov tells Janvier that this is not negotiable, Janvier agrees. Zhrov gives him
the coordinates. Eric tells the team that it is in the middle of nowhere. Hetty tells Callen that
from the looks of it, Janvier will have to drive in. Later, Callen and Kensi wire up Janvier.
Callen tells Janvier that if he does anything to jeopardize his people, he will kill him. Janvier
wants Callen to make sure that his daughter gets the money. Janvier then goes to the restroom.
Later, Janvier, Sidirov and Vaziri meet at the decided spot. The price is set at 20 million in gold.
Sidirov asks for 5 million upfront. He also says that if the deal goes south, he will keep the gold.
They all agree and leave. Callen feels that something is not right. Next, Vaziri’s men hand over the
down payment. Deeks and Kensi keep an eye on them from a distance. Sidirov likes the quality
of gold, and tells the girls to check the exchange location. He tells them to take Quinn/Michelle
along. Sidirov walks up to the car and asks Quinn if she is playing him. In response, she places
a steamy kiss on Sidirov’s lips.
Deeks tells Kensi that they should not mention this to Sam. Kensi tells him that Michelle was
protecting their cover. The topic shifts to Monica and Kensi is irritated. She tells Deeks that he
never tells her what is going on in his mind. In response, Deeks kisses Kensi. Kensi goes to check
on Michelle. Sidirov returns and tells Zhrov and David/Sam to deposit the gold in the bank. He
tells Sam to cuff himself to the briefcase just like Zhrov has. Sam agrees. Sidirov then pushes
Sam into the pool and holds him down. Deeks goes in to help Sam. Sidirov knew that this would
happen. Deeks jumps into the pool to save Sam. Eric loses all electronic contact with Sam and
Deeks. Later, Callen arrives to check on Sam and Deeks.

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
He sees that Sidirov took them. He feels that Janvier tipped off Sidirov about Sam. Callen
heads to the boathouse. The Russian girls take Michelle to the 30th floor of a building. They tell
her that they are waiting for Sidirov’s orders. Sam wakes up in a room. Sidirov knows that he is
an agent. He tortures Sam by passing electricity through his body. He asks Sam if Quinn is an
agent. Sam says no. Kensi arrives at the building and goes in to save Michelle. Michelle ends up
in a fight with the Russian girls. One of the girls pushes her out off the window. Michelle hangs
on to a plastic sheet. In the boathouse, Callen confronts Janvier. Janvier closes his eyes. Callen
notices ’DAVID AGENT’ written on his eyelids. This is how he tipped off Sidirov.
Janvier tells Callen that he lost his hand because Callen gave him to the Iranians. He blames
Callen for all that is happening. Janvier tells Callen that his only aim is to destroy everything
Callen loves. He tells him that Sidirov is going to kill Sam. In the room, Sidirov continues to
torture Sam, but Sam doesn’t budge. He maintains that Quinn is not an agent. Sidirov decides
to torture Deeks and get the truth out of him. They ask Deeks if Quinn is an agent. He says no.
They drill into Deeks’ gums. Sam watches helplessly.

Summary: The team must locate the stolen nuclear weapons as Deeks and Sam
must physically and emotionally recover from their ordeal.
In the ”NCIS: LA” season 4 finale,
Michelle was left hanging out a window,
Kensi fighting off Sidorov’s Barbies to try
to get to her. Well, Michelle didn’t need
her help making it up because she pulled
herself up and ended up saving Kensi.
Blonde Barbie took off, with Kensi following,
and after the blonde got herself
into a crash, it was off to the hospital
in an ambulance. Or so she thought.
Kensi refused to stop interrogating her
with agents’ lives on the line, and Owen
was the helpful EMT telling the blonde
she was paralyzed when she couldn’t feel it when he stuck her foot, or rather, the air around
her foot. Blonde Barbie sang like a canary, giving up the location of the auto body shop where
Sam and Deeks were.
Unfortunately, the team had to put their trust in Janvier once again, as his next meeting
with Sidorov and Vaziri was the only time they had to get to Sam and Deeks. However, Kensi
and Owen weren’t there to rescue them, not yet. Instead, they only had minutes until Sidorov
returned to the shop, but it was Michelle who was waiting outside to inform him that she pulled
off one of his Barbie’s heads. Her cover still intact, she had to demand answers from Sam about
who he was, and he claimed to be an FBI agent. She shot both him and Deeks in the chest before
leaving with Sidorov to ”make some money.” Once they were gone, Kensi and Owen could move
in with the EMTs, but the only thing on Sam’s mind: Did Deeks give up Michelle? No.
It was brutal Once at the hospital, however, Deeks wouldn’t let the doctor near his mouth,
and could you blame him? After the dental torture he just went through, would you want to
303

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
see all those tools laid out on a tray and have someone looking at your teeth? Kensi tried to
help, but Owen pulled her away to continue working, and when they joined Callen, she told him
Deeks wouldn’t even look at her. It was time for another meet of the three evil men, and once
they heard the location of the bombs, they’d move in on them. However, all they mentioned was
a ship, so they were stuck following them once again. While Owen followed Vaziri and Kensi
followed Sidorov and Michelle, Callen chased Janvier through the mall, only to end up pulling an
innocent maintenance worker off his cart and finding the piece of flesh Janvier cut out of himself
to remove the Overwatch spray.
After last May’s finale, one of the conversations we most wanted to see was one between Sam
and Deeks with the former admitting the latter was a good cop and that he underestimated him.
”Ascension” gave us what we wanted and more, as Sam paid Deeks a visit in his hospital room.
”I owe you for the rest of my life for what you did for me,” he told the LAPD detective, who looked
like a lost little boy who was in desperate need of a hug. But Deeks wasn’t sure about being
a cop anymore. ”That’ll be a huge mistake,” Sam told him. ”You’re a great cop. You’re going to
make a great agent.” ”I never thought I’d hear that coming from you,” Deeks said. ”That was my
mistake,” Sam admitted. ”I won’t make it again.” Yes, there’s the unresolved Deeks/Kensi stuff
and their conversation, but we don’t think there was anything Deeks needed to hear more than
what Sam told him in that hospital room.
Meanwhile, Sidorov was ready to celebrate his day’s work in a hotel room with Michelle and
wine, but after a distraction kiss, she snuck away to the bathroom with his phone for Eric to
hack. However, just because Sam and Deeks didn’t give her up didn’t mean she was safe. He
knew she had his phone, and by the time Sam (did you really think he was just going to sit back,
relax, and heal in a hospital room after being electrocuted when his wife was with Sidorov?) and
Kensi got to the room, they were gone. After Eric got hits for multiple planes being chartered
from different airports under Sidorov’s companies, Sam realized they never left the hotel. They
were on the roof, but they weren’t going anywhere. Sidorov thought he was going to get away,
playing to Sam’s weakness of Michelle, but when Andros turned to the door, Deeks was there to
shoot him. (Apparently CBS borrowed a cream from the same shop the CW turns to for the guys
on ”Supernatural” to take care of their injuries to help get Sam and Deeks out of the hospital
with enough energy to be bruised and battered but still able to work.) Sidorov was distracted,
and there was something very satisfying about Sam putting a couple of bullets in him.
Owen had tracked Vaziri to an apartment in Hollywood, the same apartment an exotic dancer
with convictions for fraud, theft, and prostitution flying under Janvier’s daughter’s name, went
to, but when Callen and Owen got inside, the woman and Vaziri’s men were dead. As for Vaziri, he
was tied to the bed, his hands cut off. ”It’s all about revenge” with Janvier, Callen realized. Vaziri
cut off one of Janvier’s hands, so he took both of his. A helpful guy on the street called out to
them that Janvier was just down the street, and as he drove towards Callen, the agent shot him.
But when he came up alongside the car once he stopped, Janvier told him, ”Finish it. We both
want it.” We had to wait a few minutes (and a ”Four Months Later”) to find out what happened to
him, but as we saw, Janvier was locked up. ”Eight feet wide. Eleven feet long. Twenty-three hour
a day lockdown. Triple life sentence. Priceless.” Callen greeted him as he waited in his cell. ”Two
hour plane ride just to see me step into a cell? Not much going on at home, I guess,” Janvier
remarked before spouting off about ”The Count of Monte Cristo”: ”It’s the story of a man who
spent 21 years in prison only to escape and exact his revenge.” And as Callen left, he called after
him, ”The game is not over.” With Janvier alive, he was right. The game won’t be over until he’s
dead.

Summary: Psychologist Nat Getz returns to help Sam and Deeks overcome their
recent trauma and return to work. The murders of a former Navy Admiral
and journalist on a plane are the focus of the rest of the team.
The ”NCIS: LA” team investigated
when a plane from D.C. crashed after
the pilot didn’t respond when air control
reached out, but as they soon learned, it
had been a case of sabotage. On board
the plane were William Gardner, a former
vice admiral who had been a key player
in the War on Terror but forced into early
retirement for his uncensored criticism,
and a journalist, Jason Carter, who had
been ghostwriting his memoir. Someone
didn’t want that book published. When
they went to check out his apartment,
they found out someone had torched it,
and there wasn’t anything left. His girlfriend
said he had seemed stressed when they spoke four days prior. But the bad news didn’t
end there. Someone had virtually erased Jason as well, and security footage of the airport showed
that whoever took the flight recorder had entered earlier in the day in a vehicle they reskinned
as an emergency one. This was proof of sabotage.
They were able to find a digital recorder at the crash site, but unfortunately, it was hard to
hear what was being said. There was something about cover-ups and war crimes, but all they
could do was piece it together. If they had proof of Americans working overseas while employed
by the government committing crimes, it was motive enough for their murders. They were able
to lure out two men by having the news report that Jason’s girlfriend had excerpts of his work,
and when they broke into her home, the team was waiting. Once in custody, they lawyered up,
but these were just small fish. Someone higher up ordered this. The job was done for the day,
but it was far from over. Anyone else thinking this could set up a potential ”NCIS”/”NCIS: Los
Angeles” crossover? Their plane originated in D.C., after all, and they do still have to catch the
major players.
305

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
Before getting into the heavy stuff of the episode, let’s address the only real light-hearted
moments. After a group date — three girls, three guys — with Kensi and Rose, Nell was getting
message after message, and while at first she told Eric it was her mother, she did eventually
tell him about the group date, leading to another one of those awkward conversations between
the two, this time about him going on a date, no wait, not with her. Yep, they were still dancing
around that. Meanwhile, poor Eric also was stuck wearing pants in ”Impact,” pants Hetty got
him, and he hated them. ”Sad face,” he said when Kensi and Nell noticed. Nell even found him
in his boxers, ready to incinerate them at one point, and in the end, Hetty decided to let him go
back to wearing shorts. ”I have sensitive thighs,” he tried to explain to the others. But he had a
problem: Nell had cut the pants into shorts for him, and Hetty wanted those pants back.
Now onto what we had been hoping would be in this episode. Hetty brought in Nate to talk
to Sam and Deeks about their traumas, and the honest conversations continued. Though Sam
insisted he knew how to bounce back fast and that he was fine, the beating he was giving the
punching bag in the gym suggested otherwise and the last thing he had to say to Nate during
their session revealed the truth. Sam was tired of everyone being too nice to him — Michelle
didn’t want him to do the dishes, Callen got amazing tickets to a Lakers game — and Nate could
see where he could eventually crack. ”The only way to survive is to let go. I keep a little something
behind in case there’s a chance to escape or attack, but the rest of me is gone. I see him whaling
on that guy in the chair, I can’t help him. When it’s over, I reconnect and the only thing left is
some scars. I’m afraid one day I may drift off and never reconnect,” Sam admitted. ”Then what
happens to the guy in the chair?” After, Nate expressed his concern to Hetty: ”The trauma and
damage he experienced, it’s cumulative, physically and psychologically, as you well know. If it
happens too many more times, he could reach a breaking point where he can’t take it anymore.
You also know what could happen then.” Sure, we know Sam as this tough guy, we know that
he’s been through traumatic experiences before, but eventually something does have to give, and
what ”NCIS: LA” did right was show that it could happen — and even Sam admitted it.
Speaking of Deeks, while Sam returned to work, Deeks did not — and he wasn’t answering
his calls or a cronut on his doorstep. Hetty surprised Deeks with a visit, and she found him
unable to sleep, trying to use storm sounds and relaxation tapes. ”I’ll leave you to your storm,”
she told him after letting him know she needed to know if she needed to find his replacement.
”Hopefully it’ll pass without too much damage.” Nate ended up finding him on the beach, and
Deeks admitted that he couldn’t sleep because his mind just kept running when he closed his
eyes. As Nate explained, while it wasn’t his first traumatic experience, something about it had
more of an impact on him and his brain was trying to make sense of what happened by finding
something to compare it to from his past. Because nothing came close, it was harder to resolve.
What Deeks needed to do was talk about it — and sleep.
Unsurprisingly, the matter of Deeks and Kensi’s partnership was a hot topic. ”You’re partners,
it’s a special relationship,” Nate told him. What made their partnership unique from others —
and when Deeks could truthfully answer that — everything else would become much clearer. ”It’s
a complicated relationship,” Nate said to describe Deeks and Kensi’s relationship to Hetty. ”He’s
very close to his partner.” As the episode ended, Deeks once again ignored a call on his phone,
but Kensi wasn’t going to take no for an answer. She, like Callen, was worried about her partner,
and even if he didn’t talk about what happened, she was going to be there for him. She was at
his door with food and that cronut he never took off his doorstep. ”It’s like America and France
made sweet slow love and they had a pastry baby,” he said. It was an adorable and purely Kensi
and Deeks scene as they settled on his couch to eat and she forced him to watch a movie with
her. As she began explaining the film to him, he leaned back and began falling asleep. ”What
happens next?” She asked as she leaned back next to him. ”It’s a love story,” he told her.

Production Code: 503
Summary: Still grappling with his emotions, Deeks returns to field work while
NCIS investigates a biotech death related to a classified vaccine.
The case in this ”NCIS: LA” episode
took a couple of twists before they finally
figured out who was responsible for
blowing up Tom Norris and his car, and
while the end result wasn’t too surprising
— jealousy, power, and greed are always
pretty good motivators — it was a
fun ride. Norris had managed to evade a
police chase only for his car to explode
when he was hiding. His company, Norris
Biotech, had been working on a ricin vaccine
(oh, ”Breaking Bad’s” Lydia would
have been very interested in that), and
once Sam and Callen looked over his car,
they found white phosphorus near the
trigger — and Omni, a transnational criminal organization had been found with some of that
phosphorus during a sting, but not all of it. Was Omni responsible for Norris’ death? It was
looking like they were, especially when they turned out to be the reason why Dr. Leonard from
Norris Biotech was stealing the vaccine samples (and really, Sam could have been skipping and
still would’ve run down the doctor in the Biotech parking lot) and had invested in the company
after they reached phase 2 of the vaccine trials. They had his family and had offered a trade.
The NCIS: LA team intervened, they set up a new meet, and, as expected, it didn’t go down as
expected. They cornered the guy on a roof and killed him, but he had passed the vaccine case
off to a woman on the bus, and they tracked the case back to a race track, the same race track
Norris had been a member of and where Kensi had had fun driving Hetty’s car. But Omni hadn’t
been responsible for Norris’ death.
It was someone in Norris’ company, and who better than the person who had started the
company with him? Yes, it was Paulson. He had seen it as an opportunity to get out from Norris’
307

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
shadow and take control of the company. Like every other killer out there, Paulson tried to run
and then just began shooting wildly. Sam easily tackled him — and he’s not a giant, he’s just
husky. Dr. Leonard was made acting president of the company, and Omni’s shares were made
property of the US.
Even Deeks wasn’t quite sure if he was back for good when he first came in to the office, and
he was clearly not the same guy he had been before his trauma. ”I’m going to take it one day at
a time,” he told Kensi when she found him at the shooting range. While everyone welcomed him
back, Callen had his concerns, concerns he made known to Hetty, Sam, and Deeks himself. Sam
thought Deeks would be fine, saying he’d seen guys go through worse, but when Deeks didn’t
take the shot, his excuses and his insistence that he was fine didn’t convince the rest of the
team. As the episode ended, Callen pulled him aside and told him that he didn’t want him there
until he was ready to be back. It wasn’t safe for Deeks or the team for him to be second guessing
himself. However, they were good once Deeks insisted he was ready to be back, and as Kensi and
Deeks flirted their way off to dinner, Hetty watched with a ”Welcome back, Mr. Deeks.”

Summary: The NCIS:LA team finds themselves in danger while investigating a
kidnapping case of a man claiming to be Callen’s father.
After Eric and Nell received photos of a
crime scene, Hetty interrupted the team’s
rock climbing contest to bring them in
for the case — well, almost all of them,
at least. She was sending Callen on a
field trip, or at least trying to send him
away since this was a ”need to know” case
and he wasn’t cleared. But they could
not have been more obvious, and Callen
just walked on past Sam and Granger at
the crime scene to check out the severed
finger and the message left on the wall:
”Callen, we have your father.” Upstairs
in ”Michael Reinhardt’s” bedroom, Callen
found a box of photos showing him over
the years, in his foster homes and even in LA in 2010 at the cemetery.
Eric and Nell were able to identify one of the men they were after, and it should have been
no surprise to anyone who knew even a tiny bit about Callen that it was a Comescu, Vasile to
be specific, and yes, he knew Callen killed his brother. If Reinhardt was really Callen’s father, he
was merely a bargaining chip, and... Callen had already left and went off grid. He paid Arkady a
visit to ask about one of the photos, one of Arkady and Michael. He told Callen no one had ever
introduced himself to him as his father. As always, Arkady was very entertaining, from the gun in
his fridge — which was still cold as he stuck it in his pants — to his comment about not having
any bodies in the trunk of the car at the moment as Callen set his own trap for those trying to
trap him. He ended up killing both men who were following them (one was Anton Comescu), and
he left Arkady with the bodies after a call to Eric before continuing on his mission.
While Callen hooked up the battery he took from Comescu’s car to wires and doused clothes
with gasoline over it and then set up a meet with Vasile, Kensi and Deeks interrogated Arkady,
who claimed he waited around for them because he didn’t want to see Callen, his friend, die
that day. Then Hetty sat down with him for a chat, and Arkady told her the terms of the trade
this time: consideration in the future when he might need one. He admitted he knew Michael.

Meanwhile, Callen met Vasile and directed him to the trunk for Anton, setting off an explosion
and giving him the chance to get a gun from under the car. After a shootout, Sam was inside his
car, which was flipped over, Granger was on the ground, bleeding from a gunshot wound, and
Michael was dead after the scene that opened the episode. The final shootout ended with Callen
shooting Vasile and Michael telling him, ”Tell him the debt is paid,” before dying.
But was Michael Reinhardt Callen’s father? In the morgue, standing over his body, Hetty and
Arkady explained that Reinhardt was not Reznikov and could not have been his father. But she
thought he knew his father and owed him a debt. Arkady had helped refugees start over in the
US, and Michael was one of them. He had said he owed his life to a Russian soldier, and it looked
like he had kept track of Callen for him. He let Comescu believe he was his father to repay the
debt. Someone by the name of Reznikov did exist, but he was arrested and sent to a labor camp
in 1974. There was no record of his death. In the end, however, Callen got a gift he probably
never expected: home movies of himself and his father. Inside the box was a note: ”My family.”

Summary: When a former Navy officer’s girlfriend is kidnapped, Nell joins the
team in the field after the ransom demand is for intelligence information.
Deek’s has no idea he’s violated one of Hetty’s rules.
Robin had just finished a 10K run
when she was very publicly kidnapped
at the finish line. Her boyfriend, Garrett,
was an intelligence officer who specialized
in highly classified drone navigation
design, and it looked like the kidnappers
may have wanted to trade for that. He
was even lucky enough to get an early
discharge and was running his own software
company with his partner, Oscar.
However, the pieces began to come together
when a man he served with explained
that Garrett wasn’t exactly hurting
for money like they thought. In fact,
he had $75 million coming in, and it began
to look like he was giving secrets to the Chinese government. Or was he?
The truth came out, and Garrett explained that they wanted him to design drones to help with
farming and environmental management. But then they asked him to modify the design, and he
realized it was for military application. They took Robin to force his hand, and Oscar handed
off the tech to an Asian teenager nearby. They found the guys who kidnapped Robin and killed
them, but she was gone. That was because they had let her go. Yes, she was looking more and
more guilty by the minute, and unfortunately, we were right. Robin was running the long con on
Garrett for the money, and Oscar was working with her. The best part about the case? It had to
be seeing Nell in the field (and Eric’s jealousy). At one point, they had commented it looked like
two different cases. If that had been true, it may have been a better episode.
Meanwhile, Deeks surprised the rest of the team when he showed up to work on a motorcycle,
and they had to explain the rule: no unnecessary risks. He tried to appeal to them and later to
Hetty, but he was not keeping that bike. ”You can donate your organs after you finish working for
us,” Hetty explained. While he claimed he just liked the bike and there was no hidden meaning,
Kensi thought it could be traced back to his torture. Risky behavior was a common symptom

of PTSD, she explained, even as he denied it, but that was a common theme throughout the
episode, from him teasing her as he put on his vest before they went into the warehouse to her
tackling him out of the way of the van.

Summary: Callen goes undercover at a prestigious high school after a 15-year-old
hacker compromises terrorist missions.
It all began as a joint NCIS/FBI/CIA
task force ready to take down a cartel
with ties to terrorists walked right into
an ambush. Two agents lost their lives,
and a third was in the ICU. The new Sec-
Nav, who has only appeared on ”NCIS” so
far, assigned the team to find the mole
that tipped the cartel off, and that meant
Kensi and Deeks got to interview FBI
Agents Jenkins and Ambrose, CIA Agent
Lowell, and NCIS Agent Carter, who had
sleep apnea thanks to his run-in with
Kensi. They all insisted they followed protocol,
and that was when Eric discovered
the CIA and FBI had been hacked. ”You
can run, but you cannot hide from the E
to the B to the T to the O,” he exclaimed, proud of himself. The malware on Lowell and Ambrose’s
phones converted calls to texts, and with those two targeted, the team had to follow them. It
looked like Ambrose had something shady going on with a teenager, but they were drawn away
when Eric located the hacker, only for them to find a teenager, who kicked Deeks between the
legs before trying to run. She just thought he was a pervert. Poor Deeks!
But the only thing Cindy was directly guilty of was hacking the mean girls at her school to
find out what they were saying about her. As she explained, if they had Wi-Fi, she only needed
their phones to get to their computers and vice versa. These mean girls also happened to be
the daughters of VIP parents, and to keep an eye on things, someone had to go undercover at
the school. The guys all chose Kensi, even as she protested, but she couldn’t go in when she got
there. In the end, Callen had to go in to deal with the ”savage beasts,” as the school administrator
called the students, but his substitute teaching days were cut short when a teacher was found
dead in the lounge. He had hanged himself after he was blackmailed for being too friendly with
the star hurdler of the track team. Yes, that girl was one of the girls Cindy hacked.
313

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
Eric and Nell took a look at the girls’ Facebook pages and found one ”friend” whose identity
couldn’t be confirmed: Matt. Cindy met him in a hacker chat room, and he liked to wear baseball
hats. Hacker confirmed. Eric discovered that ”Matt” had hacked Cindy the previous Saturday,
and she confirmed everything they suspected: he drove her for frozen yogurt after bowling — his
car had Wi-Fi — and had her watch a video. They were able to get a photo from traffic footage
and ID him as Ethan Bloom. He had a clean record, but he also happened to come into money
lately. He was selling the information. They had no way of finding him — except Cindy. She had
him meet her at the bowling alley and was ready to strangle him. When she didn’t play it cool,
instead of shoving him, he ran, and the team followed. Deeks chased him up stairs, but the rest
of the team saw the ”For Lease” sign on the side of the building and knew the door was locked,
meaning Ethan had to jump back down, right to where they were waiting. Ethan was caught, the
malware was destroyed, and a new joint task force was already assembled. All that was left was
for Cindy to figure out how to use her skills for good. Oh, and if she had it her way, maybe look
up Eric in five or six years.
Meanwhile, Deeks, after his hippie aunt sent him an article about being healthy, got himself
a ”walking work station,” as he called it. ”I just don’t get kids these days,” Callen commented
upon seeing Deeks going one mile per hour at his desk. Deeks loved it, the others didn’t care,
and Hetty reluctantly ”agreed” to let him keep it — until, as she claimed, it drew enough power
to cause a delay in their network. Then she just got rid of it.

Summary: The NCIS:LA team must notify Homeland Security when a murder investigation
exposes a larger threat to a Los Angeles-based train.
A security guard requests backup as
he is chased by two men. One of the men
knocks the guard out and places his body
on the train tracks. The guard wakes up
just as the train runs him over.
At the office, Deeks warns the team
that the planet Mercury is in retrograde
and he says strange things will start happening.
Beal blows a whistle and calls
them all into his office to review footage
of the security guard’s death. As the man
was thrown under the train, one of the
masked man said ”Allahu Akbar”. Hetty
walks in and mentions that Al-Qaeda has
targeted trains before.
Hanna and Callen meet with Jeremy
Pernell, from the railway’s public relations, at the crime scene. They ask for the name of the
supervisor on duty last night but he says he can’t give them any information. Hanna thinks that
Jeremy is either stupid or trying to hide something. In the yard, Callen finds a strange dial. They
send a picture to Beal who tells them what the piece is used for. The word Rome is written on
it and Nell Jones says that a recently fired brakeman was named Rome. He lost his job when
he tested positive for marijuana after a crash. He has no terrorist background but it looks like
his room mate, Gil Bellamy, is a demolitions expert. Nell says that Bellamy has a history of
commenting on bomb building websites that deal with terrorists.
Deeks and Kensi head to Rome’s apartment building. They find a man leaving Rome’s apartment
and he runs when they yell to him. They catch him and find that he’s Anthony Trager, a
private detective. He was there looking for any problems that would sink Rome’s unlawful firing
charge. Kensi and Deeks enter the apartment and think that Rome was either very dedicated
to trains or an obsessive killer. Deeks finds explosives and highlighted rail maps. Kensi thinks
these guys are ready to strike.
315

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
Hanna and Callen meet with Rome’s mother to ask her a few questions. She’s busy and needs
to catch a train. She hasn’t seen her son lately and denies that he’s a criminal. She didn’t know
that he had a room mate and insists that he doesn’t do drugs. They ask for permission to access
her cell in case Rome calls her.
Deeks and Kensi disguise themselves as FRA agents and meet Yolanda Campbell. Yolanda
sets them up in the board room and allows them to conduct their investigation. Deeks hears a
noise and they find a man shredding paper near a locked cabinet. They narrowly avoid being seen
by Trager and escape into a women’s bathroom. They need to hide in a stall to avoid Yolanda.
Hanna and Callen head to the Harvard House Hotel where Bellamy has stayed after getting
restraining orders from his girlfriends. The owner recognizes Bellamy and gives Hanna a key to
his room. Hanna opens the door and notices a wire. He ducks out of the way with Callen and
they avoid an explosion that blows out the windows.
At headquarters, Hanna suggests that maybe Rome is helping Bellamy because he is being
forced to against his will.
Deeks creates a small bomb to create a diversion that will allow them to search the room with
the shredder and locked cabinet. They take the files and leave the building together.
Beal shows the team video of Rome and Bellamy arguing. Nell states that the company deleted
all emails relating to Rome. There was one shredded letter from Rome that states his concern
about dangerous materials passing through residential areas, against the law. They believe that
Rome was a whistle blower and partnered with Bellamy to get revenge. Bellamy has taken it
further than Rome wanted though. Rome’s mother Jillian calls Hanna and tells him that one of
Rome’s friends stopped by. He said that Rome was okay and dropped off a box of stuff. Hanna
tells her to get away in case it’s a bomb.
When Hanna and Callen arrive the bomb squad tells them that the bomb wasn’t real. Callen
shows Jillian a photo of Bellamy and she says he’s the man who delivered the package. Beal calls
Hanna and tells him to step away from Jillian. He ha news that a freight train has been hijacked
north of town and the train full of chlorine gas is headed toward town. If it explodes Beal guesses
that 100,000 people will die. Rome is the man in control of the town.
Deeks and Kensi arrive at the bus station and accost Bellamy. He resists arrest at first but
they manage to bring him in for questioning. He claims he isn’t the one who set the bombs up.
Bellamy isn’t surprised that Rome is driving an explosive train into the city.
Callen gets into contact with Rome and puts Jillian on the line with him. He didn’t want
anyone to die and says that he’s trying to help a lot of people by rerouting the hazmat runs. He’s
bringing the train to the station and promises to stop there.
Nell finds that Rome’s drug test was falsified and the train company was lying about their
routes in order to profit. Rome was telling the truth but Bellamy was not. He told Rome to steal
the train and says that there will be a huge explosion.
On the tracks, Hanna finds an IED. Any movement on the tracks will cause it to explode.
Callen tries to reason with Rome to stop the train in order to stop the bomb from killing so many
people. Jillian begs her son to stop and he agrees to slow down. As he puts on the brake the
train speeds up. Callen realizes that Bellamy sabotaged the brake lines. Rome decides to try and
disconnect the chlorine gas tanks and leave them behind. He can’t disconnect them because the
train is going too fast. There’s nothing Rome can do and asks them to get the bomb off of the
tracks.
Hanna is digging around for the bomb ignition but it could take awhile. Nell has found that
Trager is corrupt and Hetty suggests that Callen play dirty to even the score. He confronts
Bellamy about being paid by the train company along with Trager. The team intimidates Bellamy
into revealing the location of the bomb igniter. Hanna rushes over to look for it.
The train is bearing down on Hanna but he continues to dig. He finds the C4 and the igniter.
Hanna cuts the wires and jumps out of the way just in time. The train stops nearby and everyone
is safe.
Deeks and Kensi find Trager, who’s happy that Rome won’t be suing the railroad anymore.
Bellamy told them everything and they know that Trager is the one who murdered the security
guard. He runs away but is quickly surrounded by cops.
The team works late to finish all the reports they need to fill out and send to several federal
agencies. Deeks continues to spout his conspiracy theories but no one believes him.

Summary: With a nuclear terrorism attack looming, the team must find the stolen
nuclear detection device. As the case proceeds, Hetty realizes someone
from her past is back and could jeopardize her career.
A security guard locks up an office for
the night. A man enters through the ceiling
using a rope. He turns on a computer
at one of the desks and copes data onto
a hard drive. He exits the building down
a fire escape ladder and gets a ride from
someone on a motorcycle. A masked man
walks up and starts shooting at them.
The motorcycle crashes and the security
guard takes the masked man down. He
turns towards the man near the motorcycle
but is shot by the man lying on the
ground behind him who was wearing a
bullet proof vest. One person gets away
on a motorcycle but the man wearing the
vest retrieves the hard drive.
Hanna discusses money with Callen after he spent a month building cabinets. Everyone suggests
that he should have hired someone so that he could relax doing whatever he wants. Marty
agrees with Callen’s preference to hire a professional. Kensi says that a man who can build things
for himself is sexy. Eric calls the team up using a morse code text message.
The team arrives and Eric tells them about a robbery and shooting. The security guard shot,
retired Marine Gunnery Sergeant Dennis Martin, is currently in surgery. The thieves stole files
that reveal the location of devices that can locate and detect sources of nuclear radiation. The
devices are used to prevent terrorists from bringing nuclear bombs into the country. Hetty calls
and asks that Nell send a copy of the files to her. The dead thief, Brody Stallworth, has a long
list of robberies but they haven’t discovered the identity of the other man. The guy who got away
on the motorcycle took a bullet and is probably looking for a hospital.
Hanna and Callen break into Brody’s house and find a workshop that has custom tools for
their jobs. Callen doesn’t understand why these burglars broke into the Department of Energy,
317

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
it’s not your typical break and enter. Hanna finds a garage door opener. They go outside to
courtyard with multiple garages and push the button. They head inside and find the motorcycle
driver that was shot. In the surveillance video he was shot once but he now has three wounds.
They believe that the shooter followed him back here to finish the job. They spot a security
camera and hope that it can identify the man or his vehicle.
Deeks and Kensi visit the Department of Energy where the robbery took place. The supervisor,
Laura Baker, says that the computer was accessed normally and the workstation belongs to Roy
Kessler. He didn’t show up for work that day and Eric says he is catching a flight in twenty
minutes.
Callen and Hanna question Roy about his trip and his connection to the robbery. Roy says it
looks bad but he claims to have been drugged last night by two girls he was partying with. When
he woke up his pass key was gone. Callen asks why he was going to run away rather than help
the investigation. Roy logged into the system and panicked when he saw what had been stolen.
The thieves only copied part of the database, Los Angeles County. He warns that everyone is in
danger.
Nell shows the team the image of the man wearing the ski mask that was seen outside the
garage. He was also spotted nearby using a payphone with his ski mask off. They have no identity
yet though. Eric says Martin is out of surgery and conscious.
Hanna and Callen meet with Martin, who isn’t sure he will walk again. He asks for his phone
and shows them a photo he took of the shooter driving away. The license plate can be seen in
the photo.
Granger talks to Hetty about pulling the Griffin file. He asks if she thinks that Griffin’s behind
the bomb plot but she hopes he isn’t. They couldn’t prove anything years ago but Granger still
blames Hetty for letting him go. He states that if Griffin is behind the attack, everyone will blame
Hetty, ending her career.
Callen and Hanna show up where the car driven by the shooter was last seen. Kensi and
Deeks are on their way but Callen and Hanna head in. Inside they find a blank sheet with many
pins all over it. Deeks and Kensi arrive and help search for any clues. Callen finds a sheet that
shows routing information for Cobalt-60, which is something used to make a dirty bomb. That
would be worse than a nuclear weapon and Callen says this is all about psychological harm. The
weapon will be used o disrupt everything. The pins may represent every possible location but
there are too many to search quickly. Hanna worries that they may already be out of time.
Hetty tells Nell to find Griffin. She hopes that he isn’t involved in the case and says finding
Griffin is priority one. She asks Nell to be private about the matter.
Eric shows up at the warehouse and shows Callen and Hanna that he found the shooter’s
identity. The man is Farat Hadad, a member of the Syrian Special Forces. Eric can’t make any
sense of the pins on the sheet but he receives a message that the department had an alert to a
possible radiation detection. Callen says they can’t leave Eric alone but Hetty shows up with a
shotgun to protect him.
Callen, Hanna, Deeks and Kensi head to where the alert was. The don’t immediately see
anything and wonder if it’s just a set up. Callen spots a man in a jacket and realizes it’s Hadad.
They follow him and pull their guns on him. He panics and grabs a woman as a hostage. Hanna
shoots him and Kensi brings the woman to safety. Callen searches Hadad but there’s no bomb.
Granger meets Callen at the scene and asks why he didn’t take Hadad alive. He asks for
Hetty’s location and tells him there’s nothing he should worry about. Hanna shows Callen a note
and photo of a man found in the magazine that Hadad was holding. He believes that Hadad was
going to take that man out. Callen runs a detector over Hadad in search of Cobalt-60. He finds
a weak but positive signal on his clothes. Callen receives an ID on the man in the photo, it’s
Richard Towzen. A man that is still in Ohio. Callen believes that the alarm set off her today was
just a test to see the reaction to the radiation alarm going off. Kensi says that if he has radioactive
material to waste on a test there must be even more out there.
Hetty encourages Eric to continue working at solving the pins. She suggests that he ask Nell
for help. Eric asks Hetty why she is here and what’s going on. She explains that it’s possible that
the man who is behind this may be a man that slipped through her fingers. She finds a hidden
button behind some books. A projector turns on that overlays a map over the pins. The pins are
meant to represent vulnerable targets from San Diego to Seattle. The red flags indicate targets
that are in a one mile radius of downtown Los Angeles.
318

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
The team gathers around the map of targets and say the first alarm may have been a diversion.
Callen believes that whoever set up the test must be watching from somewhere nearby. Nell looks
at pedestrians who are nearby watching the scene. Nell recognizes one man as Griffin. The man
enters a subway with Hanna and Callen following close behind. Griffin moves onto the tracks
rather than be arrested. He trips and falls and Hanna and Callen move onto the tracks to lift him
out before he is hit by an oncoming train.
Hetty faces off against Griffin in questioning. He remembers her as the woman who ruined his
life. Hetty says that he swore he was innocent yet they are back in the same position. She offers
that he help to save lives in order to help his children. Hetty asks what the target is and Griffin
says he doesn’t know. She tells him it’s over but he was just running scenarios and collecting
data. He needed the money but doesn’t know their target. Griffin says the data is encrypted but
it won’t take the Russians long to crack it.
Eric informs the team that the house Griffin identified belongs to the Russian consulate and
is therefore considered Russian soil. Callen says that isn’t a problem as long as they are caught.
He does warn that they could be in for a lot of trouble if anything goes wrong.
The team plans an elaborate ruse in order to make the Russians leave the house. They leave
the house out the front door while Callen and Hanna sneak in the back. There is still a man in
the house and he walks into a room where a man is doing something on a computer. One man
tells him that he can continue working on the plane. Hanna heads up the stairs and creates a
diversion to draw the man out. Hanna and Callen both attack a man and knock them out. Callen
grabs a hard drive and makes his way out. Kensi tries to prevent the Russians from entering
the house but one man flashes a gun and shoves his way in. Callen and Hanna jump out of an
upstairs window onto a truck that Deeks has driven up the driveway. They make their getaway
as the Russians shoot at them.
Granger enters the headquarters and tells the team they better not have been involved in the
gunfight with the Russians. They retrieved the technology but Granger believes it will destroy
relations with the Russians. Hetty points out that they can’t say anything without admitting that
they stole the files to begin with. Granger gets off the phone with the secretary and tells them
that they dodged a bullet this time.

Summary: Kensi goes undercover as a nutritionist and Deeks poses as a new
patient at a rehab center to investigate the death of a Navy officer.
At Tranquility Villa, a rehab center, a
couple sneak out and go swimming in the
pool. A security guard tells asks them to
get out because of the curfew. When he
turns the lights on he notices a dead body
floating in the pool behind them.
Callen considers getting a tattoo but
Hanna thinks it’s not something he would
actually do. Gary gathers everyone and
says that Naval Intelligence Officer Gary
Leonida was found in the rehab’s pool.
He was on leave from Kabul for the last
two months. He checked himself into the
rehab that was known to be used by the
rich and famous. SecNav is concerned because
Gary knew sensitive information. It’s suspected that after he overdosed he stumbled into
the pool. Records show that Gary had a visitor the day before he died, Val Winkler.
Callen and Hanna meet with Martin Lake, manager of the rehab. Martin says that usually
in these cases a friend brings in the drugs. Gary hadn’t been there long so no one really knew
him yet. They asks Martin for surveillance footage from the last three days and he goes to get it.
Hanna finds marks in the grass that look like a body was dragged.
Kensi and Deeks arrive at Winkler’s and hear screams from inside. They enter with their guns
drawn but find it’s just a video game on the TV. They ask Winkler to come out from a room and
he puts an axe through the door. Deeks kicks the door in and they bring him in for questioning.
Back at the office, Kensi and Deeks question Winkler. Callen and Hanna don’t believe what
Winkler says about the friendship he had with Gary. Winkle denies visiting Gary yesterday and
instead says he saw him three days ago. Yesterday he was in Vegas and bought some crystal
meth. He came home and really got into the video game, so much that he attacked them with the
axe. He knows how screwed up he was but he wanted Gary to get better.

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
The team reviews surveillance footage and finds that unless the footage was tampered with,
Winkler did not visit the rehab center. Gary’s autopsy report states that he had a type of truth
serum in his system.
Hetty wants Kensi and Deeks to go undercover as nutritionists to Tranquility Villa. She
changes her mind and decides to send Deeks as a patient.
Nell finds Anwir Faziz, an exotic car dealer and suspected terrorist financier. He recently
loaned Martin Lake a large sum of money which has still not been repaid. Martin owes Faziz
huge and finding out Gary was an intelligence officer may have lead him to inform Faziz.
At Faziz’s car dealership, Callen and Hanna approach Faziz’s office. They don’t expect any of
Faziz’s bodyguards to be at his legitimate office but they are stopped by a man with a gun. He
tells them to come outside with him. Outside, Hanna recognizes the guard as Homeland special
agent Tom Panetti. Callen explains why they are there and Tom agrees to investigate. He will
cover by saying they were muscle sent by someone Faziz is having trouble with.
Kensi meets with the Marcos the chef for the rehab. She thinks all of the food is unhealthy
and complains about it. Deeks walks by with a woman who is giving him a tour of facility.
Eric finds that the footage of Winkler outside the rehab had its time code changed. He wondered
what else may have been falsified and shows that the footage from outside Gary’s room
was changed. Nell informs Kensi, who moves to Martin’s office to connect his computer to Eric’s.
Martin enters while the files are being transferred to Eric but Kensi holds him off long enough to
finish the transfer.
Hetty tells the team that Gary had a very high level of intelligence clearance. Eric says Martin
is not working with Faziz but he knows someone who might. He shows video of a woman outside
of Gary’s room one hour before her death. She looks in and is chased away by a man inside.
Hetty says Deeks needs to find the woman.
At the rehab, Deeks talks to one of the other patients and describes the woman seen in the
video. Her name is Heather Williams but she went missing last night. The patient says that
Heather loved the Chateau.
Hanna and Callen find Heather’s car parked outside the Chateau. They approach the room
she is staying in and spot two armed men enter before them. They run to the room but the men
are holding Heather hostage. She escapes one of the men’s clutches and runs onto the balcony.
She climbs the ladder to the roof while Hanna and Callen have a gun fight with one of the men.
Callen chases one man outside but he drives away in a stolen car. Hanna chases the other man
onto the roof and tackles him before he gets to Heather. He lets the man go to save Heather from
falling off of the roof.
Callen questions Heather about the man she saw the night of Gary’s death. She saw Phil, the
new meditation teacher in Gary’s room. Gary was loaded with a bottle of pills next to him. When
Heather saw the look in Phil’s eyes she ran away. She went to hide at the Chateau. Hanna offers
to help Heather find a new rehab center.
Nell discovers that Phil’s true name is Robert Hayes. He has previous arrests for protesting
and is part of an extreme right wing group. The group believes that no one is innocent in middle
eastern countries.
The team enters Hayes’ house but he’s not there. One of the rooms contains maps of Pakistan
and plans to bomb it. Callen connects the computer to Eric, who has bad news. Hayes used the
information gained from Gary to take control of a US drone over Afghanistan.
Eric tells the team that their only hope is to ground all the drones because it’s too hard to
identify the one that Hayes is planning to use. Hetty suggests that an easier and quicker route is
to find Hayes before he can do anything. Eric mentions that a couple hours ago, Hayes opened a
web page for a nearby motel.
The team arrives at the motel and immediately gunshots are fired at them. They fire back and
approach the room. Deeks fires in from the back to create a diversion. The team enters the front
and takes out all of the men. There was a laptop open on the desk but thankfully arrived before
Hayes could launch a drone attack.
The team celebrates outside of the motel when Eric calls. He says a drone has just been taken
over in Afghanistan. Callen believes that Hayes was just part of a set up. The drone is heading
towards a small village just over the Pakistani border, that is the home of Pakistan’s ambassador
to the US. SecNav scrambled jets but there’s no guarantee they will get there in time. Nell has no
evidence of a co-conspirator but Hanna thinks there must be some evidence at Hayes’ home.
322

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
The team searches through Hayes’ house for any information. Kensi recognizes a cereal bar as
one from the rehab center that only one person ate, the woman who gave Deeks the tour, Peggy.
The team arrests her at the rehab and Hanna aborts the launch with seconds left to launch.
Peggy is the one who set up Hayes so that she would avoid capture. It didn’t work though
thanks to Kensi. Deeks invites Kensi out to dinner and she agrees. They dine at a nice restaurant
and Kensi thinks there’s a reason they went to such a nice place. She thinks that he wanted to
ask her out on a date without specifically saying so. He admits that he doesn’t want to be at
dinner right now, he would rather be at his place with her. She gets up to leave and he follows.

Summary: Callen and Sam enlist the help of a Gurkha, an elite Nepali soldier
specializing in knife fighting, to retrieve a missing thumb drive. Meanwhile,
Kensi and Deeks struggle to find a balance in their partnership.
At a naval base in Bahrain, a man
enters a room and opens a safe. As he
places a flash drive and a gun inside he
is attacked by someone wearing all black.
The attacker beheads the man and takes
the flash drive.
Hanna and Callen are shocked when
they find Deeks working when they arrive
at headquarters. They ask Kensi why
he might be so tired but she has nothing
to say. Callen points out that she’s
wearing the same shirt she had on yesterday.
Eric calls them in for debriefing
while Hetty watches them all from above.
She tells Granger that the price has gone
up but he says something else has come up. He hands her a file and says she won’t like it. The
folder is about a classified project White Ghost. She says it was only a matter of time.
Nell explains to the team how Hill was murdered right before he was set to deliver a plan on
how to seize Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal. The team worries that this information could be used
for nefarious purposes. Callen has been to the base and says it’s secured by warriors known as
Gurkhas. The knife used to murder Hill was a knife that belongs to Gurkhas. The flash drive is
now being tracked to a hotel in Hollywood.
Hanna and Callen enter the hotel and approach a room. Deeks and Kensi enter the room
next door because it’s not sure which room the flash drive is in. A man shoots at Kensi from the
parking lot and the team moves to take him down. Callen shoots a man in the hallway but he
doesn’t have the flash drive. Kensi finds a scared little girl and tries to comfort her. A man holds
his gun to Kensi and orders her to drop her weapons. The man lets the girl girl and Deeks moves
towards them. Kensi orders him to take the shot but he refuses. A car pulls up and the man gets
in. Kensi picks her weapons up and punches Deeks in the face for not taking the shot.
The team returns to headquarters and Eric tells them the GPS signal has been disabled. Nell
states that the man who was shot was from Pakistan. Callen thinks that Pakistan tried to frame
325

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
India for the murder of Hill. There are still two Pakistani agents on the loose with the flash drive
so Callen tells Eric to find them.
Hanna and Callen explains to Hetty what happened at the hotel. She asks if their team is
ready and Callen says he hopes so. Hetty doesn’t think hope is an option.
Deeks confronts Kensi in the shooting range. She points out that he would have taken the
shot 24 hours ago. He agrees that he would of but it’s not yesterday anymore. Eric walks in on
their conversation and says the LAPD found the body of one of the shooters from the hotel.
At the scene of the crime they discover that the dead shooter doesn’t have the flash drive and
he was killed with one cut. Callen suspects that the shooters were ambushed by Gurkhas who
didn’t like being framed. Hanna thinks the killer is closer than they think and he looks over at a
man that matches the physical description of a Gurkha. As they walk over the man runs away.
They chase after him and he pulls a knife in an alley. Hanna and Callen fight with him and
manage to knock his knife away. He doesn’t have the flash drive and admits to being a Gurkha.
He shouts something out and Hanna says that it’s their war cry and the Gurkhas are coming.
Callen and Hanna question the Gurkha, Jemadar Thapa. He admits that India’s minister of
Defense sent him to clear the Gurkha name. Thapa says he is only here to carry out his orders,
no more and no less. Callen suggests that Thapa actually has the flash drive.
Hetty says the White Ghost is a dangerous man and it will be a dangerous mission. That’s
why Granger will handle it himself.
Nell thinks that the remaining shooter will try to take a private plane out of the country. She
searches for the car in parking lots near airports and finds a match. Hetty enters and asks her
to get Callen.
Callen gets off the phone with Hetty and tells the team that they are to take Thapa with them.
SecNav has ordered them to treat him as a member of the team. Deeks takes Thapa’s handcuffs
off and welcomes him to the team. He tells Thapa that he trusts him and the two become friends.
Thapa promises not to let him down.
Callen, Hanna and Kensi head to the airport in search of the remaining shooter. Kensi prepares
a sniper rifle and refuses to talk about her personal life. Callen spots the man and tells
Deeks to move in when he sees the flash drive. Deeks sneaks around a building with Thapa to
get a better view. The man exchanges money with a pilot but then shoots him. Callen tells Deeks
to move in but Thapa is already gone. The man fires at Deeks when he tries to stop him. Callen
and Hanna move in behind Deeks and they search for the man and Thapa. They find the man
dead but no sign of Thapa. The flash drive is gone.
Hanna reminds Deeks that he’s not in this alone. Thapa is loose and now the most wanted
man in LA. Deeks regrets not taking the shot that would have stopped the man so Callen suggests
that he get them back in the game. Deeks thinks he knows a way to get Thapa and the flash drive
back.
Deeks tells Hetty that he can make it right. He doesn’t think Thapa will sell the flash drive
but will instead bring it back to India. The only way to get a fake passport is from a gangster
that Deeks had mentioned to him. He once went undercover as a lawyer to try and bust Talita
Pambakian. She found out another officer was undercover and shot him in the head. Deeks
wants to reestablish contact and beat Thapa to her.
Kensi doesn’t like the mission because there is no way to contact Deeks if something goes
wrong. He wants to pretend they are just two ordinary people and he asks her to dinner. He can’t
take a gun with him undercover but she offers him her knife.
Deeks enters Talita’s storefront posed as Marty Finch, a lawyer. The NCIS team listens from
outside but the signal is weak because the walls are made of thick concrete. Deeks hides the
knife as the security guards pat him down. He meets with Talita and says that an undercover
cop is coming for her. He describes Thapa and offers to work for a percentage rather than a fee
this time. She says he must earn his pay and has her guards escort him to the freezer in the
next room.
In the freezer, Thapa is tied up by his hands. Talita asks Deeks to prove his loyalty and hands
him a gun. He takes the gun but says he doesn’t shoot people. Talita informs him that it’s only
loaded with one bullet and if he doesn’t shoot Thapa he will also be hanging there. Deeks raises
the weapon.
The team outside loses contact with Deeks when he enters the freezer. Kensi gets out of the
car and rushes the building. She takes out the security guards outside and heads in as Hanna
326

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
and Callen cover her. Kensi rushes in but Talita shoots Thapa. Deeks takes Talita out and carries
Thapa out of the freezer. Hanna finds the flash drive in Talita’s coat pocket.
Kensi meets with Deeks outside. She says they will figure things out and talk about their situation.
She promises to talk if he promises to be patient with her. Deeks leaves in the ambulance
with Thapa. On the way to the hospital, Thapa tells him that he will never forget what he did for
him. Thapa advises that Deeks take his time with Kensi and she will wait for him.
While waiting for Deeks at the headquarters, Granger tells her to pack her things. There’s a
plane waiting for her because she has been reassigned. She asks Hetty if it’s true and learns she
will be back when the job is done. Hanna asks Hetty what it’s about but she can’t say.
Deeks returns to find Kensi gone. Hetty informs him of the classified mission she is taking
part in. He asks how long she will be gone and Hetty says indefinitely.

Summary: When a former Romanian Communist leader and suspected war criminal
is discovered to be living in Los Angeles under a false identity, the
NCIS:LA team must locate him before he disappears again.
While a family is out to dinner at
a restaurant, a woman makes eye contact
with the father as she walks by. He
excuses himself and walks downstairs.
Soon after, an FBI team enters and the
woman says the man ran downstairs.
They search the building but can’t find
him.
Hanna meets Callen in the gym but
finds him sleeping. He suggests he sleep
at home rather than avoiding work outs.
Hanna hears Hetty’s voice and turns to
see that she is remote broadcasting video
onto a mobile device. They don’t feel comfortable
that she can follow them even
when she’s not there.
Eric and Nell debrief the team about former Romanian war criminal Anton Zevlos. He helped
in a human trafficking program that also harvested organs from the slaves. The Romanian government
believes he has been living in Los Angeles as John Vasile for the last twenty years. No
one has been searching for him because many war criminals remained in Romania. After the FBI
failed to bring him in the NCIS team was asked to bring him in. Callen suggests they start by
talking to his wife. Deeks offers to go with Hanna and Callen but they say they’re good.
When they arrive at the wife’s house, Hanna thinks they should have brought Deeks because
of how lonely he is now that Kensi’s gone. They greet Carla Shear, the Vasile’s attorney and she
lets them into the house. Maggie Vasile thinks it’s a misunderstanding and had no idea about
his past. She thought that Anton fled Romania to escape the country. Callen pushes a button
on Anton’s desk and a secret compartment opens. It is full of rifles and propaganda. Callen finds
329

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
information that shows Anton became paranoid about 15 years ago and started tracking friends
and enemies. Hanna notice two handguns missing and believes Anton has them on him.
Deeks bothers Nell and Eric in the office. He asks them about Kensi and how to get in touch
with her. There isn’t any way though. Deeks gets scared when Hetty’s robot rolls up and asks to
see him in her office.
In Afghanistan, Kensi gets out of a humvee at an American base. She enters her lab and meets
her coworkers for the first time. She introduces herself to Rachel Harris, who is surprised that
she works for Hetty. No one there knows what Kensi’s mission is though so Rachel tells her to
get comfortable while she figures out what’s going on.
In Hetty’s office, she asks Deeks how he has been. He misses his partner and wonders if it’s
his fault that she was sent away. He returns to Nell, who tells him of another man who is a
former KGB agent. Michael Bell owns a charter company and Anton may use him to escape.
Hanna and Callen follow Anton’s vehicle in a high speed chase. It ends when Anton hits afire
hydrant. They approach the vehicle and find two kids inside. The driver says that a woman gave
it to them because her husband cheated on her. Hanna believes that Shear is the one responsible
for this since Maggie has been covered by the FBI. Callen calls Deeks to tell him that the Range
rover was a diversion. He hasn’t seen anything but just then he spots a man get out of the car.
Nell identifies him as Donald Banks, a CIA agent. Callen asks Eric to shut down all flights from
Bell’s company and also asks him to find Shear. Eric states that Shear has just arrived at Anton’s
house and they also have new intel.
Back at headquarters, Eric explains to Hanna and Callen that it looks like Shear is being paid
under the table. Nell thinks Shear is their best bet to find Anton. The team sets out to find both
of these suspects.
In Afghanistan, Kensi approaches a computer but a man tells her it’s classified. She guesses
him to be the man that left a note in the fridge about his food.
In the headquarters interrogation room, Deeks questions Shear, who has voluntarily come
in to talk. As Hanna and Callen watch, Nell calls Callen with new information. Deeks confronts
Shear with the fact that she is sleeping with a client, Anton. He asks when she learned about
his Romanian past but she refuses to talk anymore. Callen and Hanna enter and convince her
to stay. She wasn’t aware that he was wanted for trafficking humans, especially children. Shear
admits that Anton had $68,000,000 invested in real estate and he won’t leave without a guarantee
to live the same life. They think he may foreclose his properties for any amount in order to
get cash fast.
Granger finds Kensi at the base and shows her a high powered sniper rifle. He tells her that
it’s now her gun and explains the target. A task force will find the target and she is to kill him.
Hanna and Callen track Anton to the only branch of his bank in town. They enter after him
and see him talking to the manager. Anton takes out a gun and fires at them. He throws a
grenade and takes the manager as a hostage. Anton shoots the manager and runs away. Callen
tells Hanna to go on while he looks at the injured. Hanna rushes outside but can’t find Anton
anywhere.
Back at NCIS headquarters, Hetty tells the team that they won’t find Anton. SecNav told them
not to pursue him any longer but Callen refuses to stop searching for him. Hetty tells Deeks to
release Shear. Hanna believes that Anton used his friends in the Romanian government to put
pressure on the American government to turn a blind eye.
Eric tells the team that Banks spent a good portion of the 80s in Romania. Bell has one flight
chartered today and it’s to Costa Rica with two passengers. Callen believes that Banks maybe
friends with Anton. They decide to lift the ban on flights.
Nell poses as a desk worker at the airport and greets Banks when he arrives. She sends him
through and says his friend left a message to go on along without him. Banks boards the plane
where Deeks is pretending to be the captain. When Banks bends over, Deeks grabs his gun and
orders him to stay seated. Callen and Hanna are there as well and they tell Banks the plane is
about to crash. As they prepare to jump, Banks confesses everything. After he admits that he
snuck Anton into the country, Callen and Hanna return to the cockpit to land the plane safely.
The team thinks SecNav shut down the search for Anton because he threatened to reveal CIA
operatives abroad. Callen thinks Anton’s only choice is to lay low and receive help from Shear.
He tells Nell to alert the coast guard and harbor master where Shear was seen.
330

NCIS: Los Angeles Episode Guide
Shear meets Anton at the marina and he denies the child trafficking allegations. Callen and
Hanna arrive soon after and chase them. Anton holds Shear hostage when the move in on him.
Callen tells Hanna to take the shot. Hanna shoots the gun and then Anton. He’s glad that Anton
will face a war crimes tribunal and spend the rest of his life in jail.
In Afghanistan, Granger asks Kensi how the rifle is. She doesn’t like that the other members
around her don’t seem to like her.
Back at NCIS headquarters, everyone avoids the Hetty bot that roams the halls. Hanna and
Callen end up running into Hetty herself though. She just got off the phone with the CIA and
they told her that Banks was arrested along with Anton. They deny any knowledge of these events
though. Hetty knows they disobeyed her orders and gives them tomorrow off, without pay. She
warns that she doesn’t play favorites, even under extraordinary circumstances.
Deeks works late on paper work but he actually just views photos of himself with Kensi.
Meanwhile in Afghanistan, Kensi does the same thing.
