Original subtitles

Delegates from the Venezuelan Navy are in D .C. today to begin diplomatic talks

with the U .S. Navy.

The aim is to form a joint task force to battle the growing problem of piracy in

the Caribbean.

Leading the talks is NCIS Director Leon Vance, who will be making a statement

soon.

Okay, I just got the director's updated schedule. He's having dinner with the

Venezuelans tonight at some place called Mancini's.

On it. We'll send an advance team out there to sweep the place.

Where are we at with the location for the talks?

The tours are still clear in the embassy with DSS, but I ran background on all

the staff, and they checked out.

Good. Sorry I'm late.

See the reporters in the front? I could barely get in the building.

How'd it go at the embassy?

Good. Good. Place was clean.

What are you wearing?

What?

My food?

Were Vance's security details supposed to blend in with the crowd?

Oh, yeah, but...

That looks so good.

He's right. It does.

At least put on a tie.

A tie? Nobody looks cool in a tie.

I mean, with the exception of the two of you, of course.

Just put one on, okay? These talks are a big deal for Vant.

SecNav put him in charge specifically.

So I want everything to go like clockwork.

Yes, Rick.

I'm on my way.

Sacrifices I make.

I think it's the too open button.

No, no, I will be right down.

Hey, Olivia.

Bad day? Well, the press conference is running late and the reporters are

getting restless.

Guess you'll have to smooth things over.

Liv, they don't pay you enough.

Yeah. Can I help you with something?

The boss man called for me.

Oh, okay. Go right on.

director it's me

come in

what's up oh my god what are

you hurt are you okay no it's not my blood come here it's his

We were in the middle of a meeting.

He started to feel dizzy and complained of chest pain.

Heart attack?

I think so. I mean, before I could help him, he fainted, he cracked his head

open. I tried to give him CPR, but he died instantly.

What are you doing?

I'm calling an ambulance. No, no.

No one can know that this man was here.

Why? Who is he?

His name is Diego Barreto.

He's with the Venezuelan diplomats. He's part of their security detail.

So?

He's also an undercover agent working for me.

You had a man on the inside in Venezuela?

For how long? For over a year.

Moretto's intel was key in getting the diplomacy talks off the ground. But if

the Venezuelans find out that he's working for me... The talks will fall

and U .S. and Venezuelan relations will be thrown right into the toilet.

Exactly. We could be looking at an international crisis here.

When I woke up this morning...

I was feeling so good. Tell me about it.

All right.

We have to protect Gretel's cover, dead or alive.

There's too much riding on this.

We need to get this body out of here now.

Necesito lavarme las manos.

Necesito lavarme los manos.

Las manos.

Las manos. That's what I said.

Hey, what's up, Jamie?

Hey, man, do you have a tie I could borrow?

Nicholas. Hola, mi amigo.

¿Cómo estás esta mañana?

Okay.

Look at you.

Going all bilingual at me.

Si. With the Venezuelans in town, it inspired me to learn a little bit of

Spanish. I even got this app here. Check it out.

Necesito lavarme las manos.

Wow. I need to wash my hands.

Not bad.

What else do you know?

Oh, that's it.

That's it?

It's a free app. Not very good. There's a lot of ads here. Hey, maybe you could

teach me.

Yeah, maybe.

What about the tie?

Parker insisted I wear one.

What? Why? You look good. I know. That's what I said, man. But the men don't

know fashion.

Oh, sorry. No tie.

Oh, Agent Parker.

Hey, what's going on?

Necesitas la parte de las manos?

Grab a body bag and come with me and tell Knight McGee to meet us in Vance's

office.

Did he just say to grab a... Yeah.

This is bad.

Who else knows about this? Just the people in this room, and we're going to

it that way. What do we do?

Get him out of here before the Venezuelans notice he's missing.

This is so, so bad.

Thank you, Mr. Palmer. We're aware.

I saw hung up on something.

Said this guy was undercover.

That is correct.

But he came here to your office to meet.

Said he had learned that someone was actively trying to sabotage the talks

Venezuela. You say who it was or how? He died before you could tell me.

Well, that's suspicious.

Would be, except the guy died of a heart attack.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. See the discoloration here?

Dilated pupils. This is not natural causes.

Right, I was poisoned.

That's great.

Okay,

minor setback. Nothing changes.

Agent Parker?

This is a crime scene now. Trust me, this is the only play. We dropped a body

off at his hotel. We wait for a maid to find him and report it. Then we go in

and conduct a formal investigation. None of which is protocol. Now, moving a

body, that's... It's the only way to protect Barreto's cover and the talks.

And as director, I have the authority to sanction almost any activity to

maintain an operative's cover.

I know this is very unusual.

So if any of you want to bow out, bow out now. I understand.

Thank you.

Okay.

Jimmy, you help Torres and McGee drop off the body. Knight, start processing

scene and take a blood sample down to Casey. Director, we need to get you

cleaned up. Is everybody clear?

Let's move.

Give me the keys.

Pull up the truck and get it ready.

Okay, please.

All right, so I think we're going to set up right here in front of the windows.

Hey, Olivia.

Hi, Agent Torres.

Hi.

What are they doing here?

Who, the reporters?

Yes, the reporters. Aren't they supposed to be outside?

Well, it started to drizzle, so I thought it might be nicer to do the

here right in front of the windows. I was just going to tell the director. Oh,

hey, don't worry. I'll tell the director.

You wait here.

Ready to go?

Okay.

We're going to need a plan B.

Water?

Water? This is ridiculous. How long do they expect us to wait?

Hello, everyone.

I apologize for the delay.

They're crappy weather outside, but it's D .C., right?

One minute rains, one time, one day it's sunny. Who are you and where's Director

Vance? Oh, I'm sorry. My name is Special Agent Alden Parker, and the director

will be down shortly.

He's just finishing up some last -minute business.

Is there a problem with the upcoming talks? Is that why he won't speak to us?

No, no, no. No problem. Everything is moving along as scheduled.

And as I said, he'll...

He'll be down directly.

He's the director, so there you go.

While we're waiting, I thought it might be interesting, you know, given the

historical nature of the talks, to show you a display out in the hallway that

commemorates some of the other work that NCIS has done abroad.

If everyone will just follow me. You want to show us the display case?

Oh, you're going to love it, believe me.

This way, everyone.

Clear, clear. Come on.

Careful not to drop him. I know what I'm doing.

Hey, Case, you got anything on that blood yet?

Still working on it. But, you know, it would help me if I knew whose blood it

was, where it came from, or, you know, anything about the case. I would love to

tell you, but trust me, it's better you don't know.

It's okay. I already figured it out.

So who died in Vance's office?

Oh, I found Vance's unique carpet fibers mixed in with the blood.

You know Vance's carpet fibers?

Hi. Casey Hines. Have we met?

Girl, please. I know all your fibers.

Okay, so who was he?

Someone working for a Venezuelan delegate.

Ouch. Bad timing for Vance. Yeah, we're trying to do damage control. The boys

are moving his body to his hotel room.

Wait, for real?

Mm -hmm.

Whoa.

Yeah, I've only been gone for six months, but I gotta tell you, I kind of

how crazy things can get here.

Admit it. You missed it.

Oh, either my muffins are done, or that's your blood analysis.

And?

Definitely poison.

Nasty one, too.

Tetrodotoxin is extremely rare and extracted from the copperfish.

Is there any chance our victim was poisoned in Venezuela before arriving

Not likely.

Tetrodotoxin is a fast -acting poison. It kills hours after being administered.

So are killers in D .C.

No, that shouldn't be a problem.

Yes, don't you worry. I'll get it done.

Thank you, Madam Secretary.

Oh, boy.

Problem? Well, apparently, the talks are the hottest ticket in town.

SecNav just informed me that NATO wants to seat at the table now. They're gonna

send a representative over.

So? It's one little representative. You'll eat him for lunch.

So, how are we doing on your end? The guys successfully moved Beretto's body

his room without being detected. They used the service elevator.

So now we just sit tight and wait for the call to come in. So we might have

dodged a bullet.

Looks like. Oh.

And not a moment too soon.

I'm supposed to be meeting with the Venezuelans for dinner in about two

With your permission, I thought I should pull my team off your security details

so we can focus on the investigation.

All right, we'll do whatever you need to do, but please do it quietly. The less

the Venezuelans know, the better. Hey, discretion's my middle name.

Yeah, right.

Director, Lena Paulson is here to see you.

Your Lena?

Were you expecting her?

No.

Please send her in.

Leon.

I hope I'm not disturbing you. No, not at all.

Lena, you remember Agent Parker.

We met in Berlin a couple of years ago.

Yes, of course. How could I forget?

Are you still working for German intelligence?

No, I left the BND a while ago. I work as an independent contractor now, which,

in fact, is the reason why I'm here.

My new client has business in D .C.

Oh, really?

Who's your client?

So Benson's girlfriend is sitting in on the talks? That's what Parker said.

She's the NATO representative.

Isn't she like his casual girlfriend, though?

I hear they meet up at world conferences once a year and hook up.

Wow, booty call the internationals.

I don't think they're that close, to be honest with you, because Vance didn't

even know she was coming to D .C.

It's bad enough that he has to lie to the Venezuelans. Now he has to do it in

front of his girlfriend who knows all of his tells.

Working alongside your romantic partner can get tricky.

Preaching to the converted.

So, what's the story between you and Jimmy now?

No story.

We're friends.

I think we're good.

We haven't really talked about it yet.

Okay, where are we at with the case?

What?

You want us to do an update here?

Out in the open?

On a case we haven't technically been called out for?

The body hasn't been found.

Agent Diego Rojas, a .k .a. Diego Barreto. While undercover, he works

detail for this man.

Admiral Carlos Mendoza, he's currently leading the talks on the Venezuelan

According to Barreto, someone's trying to sabotage the talks.

We're thinking that that saboteur killed Barreto before he had a chance to

reveal their identity.

Any idea who might want to stop these talks from happening?

It's a long list. Russia, Iran, China, they all consider themselves allies to

Venezuela. None of them will benefit from a strong U .S.-Venezuelan

relationship. Okay, so maybe we're asking the wrong question.

We know that Beretto died of a fast -acting poison here in D .C., so who had

access to him?

Doubt it's any of the hotel staff.

I ran background checks on all of them. They cleared.

Maybe we're looking at an inside job now.

The saboteur could be a part of the Venezuelan delegate party.

Mendoza's entourage consists of these five men.

Most of them die -hard loyalists, but this one looks interesting.

The Admiral's aide, Fernando Vega.

He's new, only been on the job for a year.

Not only did Agent Barreto report directly to Vega... What are you giving

access? I checked Vega's socials, and he's posted some very strong anti

-American views, so I'm guessing he is not a fan of these talks.

All right, let's dig more into Vega's background. I also want to trace Agent

Barreto's movements the week leading up to his death.

Well, they found Barreto's body.

Finally. Take tourists to the hotel and pick them up.

Shouldn't be hard.

They'll be right where you live.

Do you know who I am? Let me see what's going on in there.

I'm with the delegates, and one of my men is staying in that room.

What's going on here?

I think you sure got your fence.

I demand to know what's going on.

All right, what do we got?

Maid came upon the scene and called it in.

Body's on the other side of the bed.

Got it.

Thanks. And the other one's in the bathroom.

Other one?

Yeah. There.

Bad. Dude, would you stop saying that? Are you sure that this body wasn't here

before? Could you have missed it somehow?

Jeff, it's kind of hard to miss.

Believe me, when we left, there was only one dead body in this hotel room.

Keep it down, man.

His neck appears to be broken, but rigor hasn't set in, which means he was

killed sometime in the last two hours.

Not until we drop the operetta. Guy comes in, sees one body, leaves another.

I'm never staying in this hotel. What do you think you're doing? Don't touch me.

What now?

Get your hands off of me. I am a member of the press.

It's okay. It's okay.

It's okay. Listen, Ms.

Robin Kale, DC Chronicle. Is it true you have a double homicide in there, and

one of them is Admiral Mendoza's men? You walk this way. Ms. Kale, this is an

active investigation, and you know I am not at liberty to comment. Will this

derail the upcoming talks? What does Director Vance have to say about this?

Director Vance will answer all of your questions soon enough, okay? What's

on, Agent Parker?

What's NCIS hiding?

Officer, you want to deal with this. I got to get back in there. I can walk

myself out. Don't touch me. All right. Thank you very much.

Getting friendly with the prick?

She may be on to us.

You might have to be more careful moving forward.

Well, I think you've got a bigger problem.

Who's going to tell Vance about the naked body?

Two?

You're kidding.

But how do you...

This is a nightmare. Okay, um, I'm about to sit down with the Venezuelans. Uh,

yes.

Keep me posted.

I'm sorry.

Is everything all right?

Uh, yeah, no, it's, uh, it's fine. I, um, I just got a lot on my plate right

now.

These folks are putting a lot of pressure on you, aren't they?

That is an understatement.

Maybe after dinner we can go back to my hotel room.

Very tempting.

But not tonight.

Ah.

Still upset I didn't tell you about joining the talks?

No, no, I'm not upset.

I mean, I would... Would have been nice to have a heads up, but... I told you,

it was last minute.

I've been busy settling between Berlin and Brussels and closing escrow in the

apartment in New York. I've had no time whatsoever to... I'm sorry.

You bought an apartment in New York?

I was going to tell you.

I didn't want you to feel weird like I was invading your space, moving closer

you. It... It's okay.

Besides, we don't tell each other everything.

We agreed. No strings.

You have no strengths.

I mean, you didn't even tell me when you got shot last year. I had to read about

it in the paper. I didn't want to worry you.

Well,

for a casual relationship, we sure seem to care a lot about each other, thanks.

They're here.

Admiral Mendoza.

It is a pleasure to finally meet you in person. Likewise, Director Vance.

The hostility between our two countries has gone on long enough.

I believe we will do great things together.

And may I introduce our representative from NATO. This is Lena Paulson.

Cunning move bringing her along.

Beautiful women are my weakness.

Just ask my third wife.

Shall we eat?

Is there a problem?

One of my men was found dead in his hotel room.

Were you aware of this?

This is the first I've heard of this.

Your people have his body.

I would like it returned to us immediately.

I will make some calls.

But, of course, we will have to conduct an investigation first. If he died on U

.S. soil, it's in our jurisdiction.

You will keep me up to date with your findings?

Of course.

I hope so, Director.

Because there can be no diplomacy between us.

Without transparency.

Jimmy. Hey, what's going on?

Hello.

Am I a friend of yours?

It's been as well in security.

Admiral Mendoza insisted that one of his guys be down here at all times in

exchange for letting us have the bodies.

Be careful.

The walls have ears.

All right, did you find anything on the bodies?

Necesito lavarme los manos.

The guy that we found in the bathtub had a broken neck as a result of a

struggle. I found fingerprints on his arms and upper torso.

Were they in our system?

No, but the victims were. Casey ran them and sent down that report.

Don't.

Don't want to draw attention to ourselves here. I took the liberty of

it all for you.

Mis manos muy, muy sucias.

The victim's name is Dimitri Yorgi. He's got a rap sheet, and it's rumored to be

a local gun for hire.

Guess what his favorite M .O. is?

Poison?

Specifically, tetrodotoxin from a pupper fish.

He even owns a tropical fish store, if you can believe it.

All right, so someone must have hired Yorgi to poison Barreto and killed him

afterwards to tie up loose ends.

Seems like.

But why kill him in the same hotel room? It doesn't make sense.

I don't know, but are we done here?

are getting rather pruney.

Thanks, Jimmy.

We got less than 24

hours until the talks officially begin.

What do we know?

He traced Agent Barretta's final movements leading up to his death, while

Caracas, he had several off -the -books meetings with someone in an unlisted

apartment. Well, he was undercover.

I mean, secret meetings gotta go with the territory.

Yeah, but he never reported any of them to Vance.

That's catchy.

I only know about this because I traced the GPS cell history.

Any idea who he was meeting with?

No. Could be our killer?

Keep digging.

What about our suspect?

Doug, further into Vega's background, turns out he had a brother die in 2002

during a failed coup attempt trying to oust President Chavez.

Well, it explains why Vega is anti -American.

It's believed the CIA was involved in that coup.

Also explains why Vega would want to sabotage the talks.

For him, this is personal. Can we tie either of the two bodies to Vega? Not

Maybe I can help.

The prints we found on the hitman's neck, I think I traced them to Fernando

Vega. How? I thought they weren't in our system.

They're not. But knowing Vega's a suspect, Vance had Vega's prints lifted

glass he used at dinner last night. They were a perfect match. Yeah, probable

cause. Let's pick them up.

Okay, well, we better hurry.

This is one of our agents stationed outside of Vega's room. Vega just left

hotel and went to a parking structure across the street.

Thank you, Kate.

Are you in place?

We're at the lower levels now, Parker.

We'll make our way up. Meet you at the top.

I couldn't call you.

I couldn't call you. He was already there, okay?

He was... But they saw us!

Get back here!

Stop! It's him!

Oh, my God!

You done, bro?

Good job.

So Vega is working for you?

Yes. And hopefully you didn't blow his cover with that little ambush of yours

the parking lot.

His cover?

Vega's an agent.

The BND has had a man inside the Venezuelan government for over a year

You told me that you left the BND.

I did, technically.

They asked me to come in on this op since I was Vega's original handler.

So this NATO thing was your cover.

My, you are just full of surprises, aren't you?

You don't want to talk.

When were you going to tell me about your man on the inside?

Diego Barreto was working for you, wasn't he?

I saw your face in the restaurant.

I know you lied to the Admiral.

I was protecting my agent's cover.

And I was protecting mine. So don't stand there and act like I'm the only

with secrecy on.

Maybe we should leave you two alone. Yeah, sit.

Okay, so if Vega's undercover, why were his prints all over the dead hitman that

we found in the hotel room? Because I killed him.

I'm going to need a little more than that.

Barreto and I shared an adjoining room.

I heard noises, went in, and saw the hitman taking photos of Barreto's body.

Proof of death photos, probably.

So he could get paid by the employer.

When the guy saw me, we got into a fight, and I broke his neck in self

Okay, so that explains what you were doing in the room, but it doesn't

why you were in D .C. in the first place.

What is B &D's interest in the diplomacy talks?

Over the last two years, B &D has been monitoring the growing presence of

Hezbollah in South America.

We believe they have an extreme interest in seeing the talk sphere.

Why? Diamonds.

Hezbollah has been smuggling them in the Caribbean.

Your anti -piracy task force will bring too many eyes to the region and expose

what they're doing. We've intercepted some chatter that suggests Hezbollah is

planning an assassination attempt in D .C.

tomorrow.

We'll stop the talk.

So, were you planning on telling me this, or was this another one of your

surprises?

We just learned of it today.

That's what our meeting in the parking lot was about.

Agent Barreto must have learned about it, too, but he was killed before he

warn us.

Leon, you must cancel the talk.

Too many have already died, and you keep the next.

We've worked too hard to get here.

Besides, the talk's on until tomorrow.

We have plenty of time to stop any attempt.

How many?

All right, add another five agents to that.

And tell Torres that I want him to do another sweep at the embassy.

I gotta go. I'll see you soon.

Come in.

Hey, come in. Hey, I'm sorry to drop in like this. Am I disturbing you? No, no,

no. I was just leaving to go back to the office. I just stopped in to get a

quick shower and a change.

You want a beer?

Yeah, that sounds good.

So are you making any headway?

No, we're still tracing those emails that BND intercepted, trying to figure

who Hezbollah was talking to in D .C.

Are you getting any help from BND?

Well, some, but...

Not enough.

Lena pulled herself out of the talks today so she can make some calls. There

go. Thank you.

In the meantime, we're beefing up security at the embassy, notifying

I'm even thinking about looping in the press, having them report how we're

ramping up security. Maybe we'll be able to scare off our assassin from trying

to make a move. That's smart.

You okay?

When you were stuck on that ship last year, bleeding out, did

anything go through your mind?

Wow, that came out of nowhere.

No, seriously.

We both had near -death, knocking -on -heavens -door moments last year, and we

never really talked about it. So I'm curious.

Come on, man, what was going on in your mind?

Yeah, I had some thoughts.

About what?

Not sure.

Still unpacking it.

What about you?

What'd you think about?

Time.

How much I got left.

How do I want to spend it?

Who do I want to spend it with?

Lena, you thinking about making more of a commitment?

I was, and I...

Yeah, but now she... There's so much baggage between us.

Too many secrets.

Dishonesty.

It'll never get boring, I'll tell you that.

Yeah, maybe.

Tell you the truth, Parker, I'm... I don't know what I really want.

I think you do, Leon.

If you need more honesty, maybe you should start by being honest with

All eyes are on the Venezuelan embassy here in D .C. as the diplomacy talks

between Venezuela and the U .S. are set to begin.

Great events.

Today will be a great day for our countries.

I agree, Admiral.

Shall we get to work?

Good morning, everyone.

Welcome.

It's good to have that tie.

Case, any luck tracing those emails to Hezbollah? Still working on it, but I

hope to have it sometime soon.

Hey, guys.

Jez, what's going on?

So, I just had a strange call with the editor of the DC Chronicle.

The one that kept bugging Parker?

Yeah, what about her? So last night, I gave her Parker's statement about us

beefing up security, and I asked her to run it. But then this morning when I

checked the paper, it wasn't there. Maybe she forgot.

That's what I thought. So I called the editor, but he told me that Cale hadn't

worked for the Chronicle in months.

She'd been let go.

Uh -oh.

Emails to Hezbollah, whoever's been communicating with them, has been doing

from a domain address associated to the D .C. Chronicle.

Cale was in the hotel soon after those bodies were found.

And she was here after Beretto died.

So she is either one very informed reporter... Or an assassin keeping tabs

her kills. We need an address case.

Yeah, way ahead of you. No last home address, but a week ago she checked into

the same hotel where the delegates are staying.

Thanks. Yeah.

Bathroom's clear.

Clear.

No luggage.

I think maybe she checked out.

I believe that we can accommodate you, but we need to agree on a joint base of

operations. I'm sorry to interrupt, Director. May I have a word? It's

Yes.

Admiral, you'll excuse me.

What is it?

McGee called.

He just got off the phone with the assassin.

She's got Lena.

The assassin is threatening to kill her.

I'm going to have to stop the talks.

Give her nothing you got. Don't do it. You came in about five minutes ago.

Don't do it. Shut up. There are reporters stationed outside the embassy.

If Vance does not get in front of cameras and announce he's ending the

Lena Paulson dies.

You have one hour.

Who is she?

Robin Kale.

Former reporter now radicalized working with Hezbollah. Can we trace the call or

video? It was sent from a burner.

We tried pinging Lena Thel, but it disconnected.

Is everything all right, Director?

Yes, Admiral.

Everything's fine. I'll be right with you.

Look, I know how important this is to you, but Kale means business. If you

go out there and end these talks, Leon, she's gonna kill her. But even if he

goes out there, there's no guarantee that Kale won't kill her anyways.

We're dealing with a terrorist here. It all comes down to what you're willing to

lose. Are you willing to risk Lena's life for this?

Thankfully, I don't have to make that choice just yet.

We still have an hour.

I suggest, gentlemen, you use that time to find Lena.

Fast.

Call it a boa. Get a hold of the state police.

Curtis, I get it. Just keep it in your cell.

Lena's phone is out there somewhere.

Anything? Got the FBI and the MPD searching all of Cale's last known

So far, nothing.

I spoke with some of her old co -workers to see if they knew where she might

have gone. It's a dead end. Sorry. I got the CCTV footage from Linus Hotel. You

need to see this.

Where is that?

Behind the hotel. A worker found her purse and phone.

What's she doing with her hand?

Pause it.

She's telling us how to find her.

Okay, rewind it.

Pause again.

Now zoom in.

That's a fitness watch.

Those watches send location information to the cloud.

That means that... It can be traced. I need to hack into her account.

This is the situation that we have here.

I must have some reserve.

Director, are you listening?

Yes, I'm... Admiral, I'm sorry. Please excuse me.

We tracked Lena's location.

She's being held in an abandoned industrial building ten miles away.

Knight and McGee are on their way now. Yeah, but we got a problem.

We've only got five minutes left till the deadline, and McGee and Knight are

far away. They're never going to make it in time.

They're going to show up in front of those cameras now.

They have dice.

We need to stall.

Hello again.

Go ahead and roll. Nice to see you, everyone.

You again.

Director Vance, he'll be out in just a few minutes.

But I thought that it might be interesting to hear a brief history of U

Venezuelan relations and see how we got to this historic point.

Venezuela first established diplomatic relations.

with the U .S. in 1853.

Do you think this is some kind of joke?

Obviously, your sweetheart doesn't care about you as much as he does.

Get up.

Get up!

It's over, Cam.

Let her go.

Stay back.

I'll splatter her brains all over this hallway. I mean it.

It's not going to happen. Hands up. Hands up.

On the law. Come on.

You're going to regret this. Some would say that Miguel Cabrera was the greatest

Venezuelan player in the major league, but I don't know.

I don't know. Have you seen Felix Hernandez?

No, they're not.

Sir?

Then it's safe. He kills in custody.

Thank God.

Now, please, get him off the air before he ruins both of our careers.

Yes, sir.

Hey, Casey.

What? Hold on.

Slow down.

Well, Admiral, I guess it's finally time for us to say goodbye.

Thank you, Director, for hosting me in your beautiful country.

I'm happy I can return home with news of our successful collaboration.

Well, hopefully with the task force in place, the Caribbean will be a safer

place and allow for more aid to come to those who need it. May I also say how

grateful I am to NCIS for catching the murder of Diego Barreto.

Thanks to you, this woman... What is her name?

Robin Kale. Kale.

Is in custody and justice will be served.

Until we meet again, Director.

Just one problem, Admiral.

Robin Kale didn't kill anyone.

Excuse me?

But you said... She kidnapped Lena Paulson to stop the talks, but Robin

didn't kill Beretto.

You did.

This is absurd.

While investigating Barreto's death, we learned that he was having secret

meetings with an unknown person. We didn't know who this person was until

yesterday.

This was snagged off a traffic cam at Caracas.

That's your wife, isn't it, Admiral?

Barreto was having an affair with her.

Of course.

You already knew that.

That's why you hired a hitman to poison him.

We traced the payment you made to one of your offshore accounts.

You were right, Admiral.

Beautiful women are your weakness.

So you confronted him in your office? I did. Oh, I would have loved to have seen

that. Yeah, it was something all right.

So what happens now?

Well, I spoke to the Venezuelan president.

Neither of us want this to distract from the success of the talks, so we both

agreed.

Mendoza will quietly resign and then be extradited back home to face trial.

He'll just get a slap on the wrist.

Politicians down there like to protect their own.

I wish we could have done more.

But it was the right play.

The things we do for diplomacy.

Listen, Leon.

I'm sorry I've been keeping things from you.

I should have been more honest with you.

As a matter of fact, I'm going to start right now.

I don't want to be in a casual relationship with you anymore.

You don't?

I want more.

I want to spend more time with you.

At your apartment in New York.

Or at my house.

In D .C. when you're here.

Make a real schedule.

Unless that's too much for you and I just made a complete ass of myself.

No. I was hoping you would say that.

Because... I, uh... I already made you this.

To us, then.

To us.
