Original subtitles

MAN (over P.A.): Attention all inmates.

(buzzer blares in distance)

(announcements continue indistinctly)

Director Rogers- or should I say

Mr. Rogers- but you're definitely

in the wrong neighborhood. (chuckles)

-You're Flynn? -Uh, yeah.

Defense attorney Micah Flynn.

Got to admit, I was surprised to get your call.

You came highly recommended by the boys in here.

While I'm flattered,

I'm sure that the boys also mentioned

I mainly handle robberies and assaults.

Whereas you are being charged

with arms trafficking, conspiracy,

obstruction, embezzlement,

not to mention accessory to the murder

of NCIS Director Leon Vance.

* *

Sir, it's my opinion

you need a whole team of lawyers, and...

even then, you'd still be screwed.

I don't want a team.

I want you.

(short chuckle)

Why?

Your trial record, for one.

Sir, I haven't won a case at trial

-in almost two years. -Exactly.

It means the prosecution will underestimate you.

They'll look at you, Mr. Flynn, and they'll see

a lamb to the slaughter.

Okay.

Well, look, I appreciate the offer,

but I'm afraid I'm not the right lawyer for you.

I mean, charges aside, the evidence alone is...

Forget the evidence.

-Excuse me? -Forget the charges.

Forget everything you've read in that file.

None of it matters.

(chuckles) I'm starting to think you might have grounds

for an insanity plea.

What if I told you I had something better than evidence?

Something guaranteed to break your losing streak.

What?

I have you, Mr. Flynn.

And I like you just the way you are.

*

I'm standing inside of the federal courthouse

-where, in less than an hour, -(Torress sighs)

the trial of former Army CID Director

Wayne Rogers will begin.

KNIGHT: Can you please turn that off?

I am so sick of looking at his face.

Yeah, well, we should be looking at his face

in person today.

It's only the first day of Rogers' trial.

It's expected to last a few weeks,

so you'll definitely get your chance.

But right now, these VWAP numbers are due tomorrow, so...

Yeah, you would have thought they'd give us an extension.

Uh, actually, this is the extension.

They were due a few weeks ago.

Well, we've kind of been up to our eyeballs

preparing the case against Rogers.

Still not close to being enough.

McGEE: What are you talking about?

We gave the DOJ a slam dunk.

KNIGHT: Yeah, there's no way the jury's not gonna

send Rogers to prison for the rest of his life.

Well, that's the problem. After what he did to Vance-

what he did to all of us-

prison seems too good for him.

Yeah, I get it.

But not all criminals can be dealt with the Gibbs way.

Meaning?

Sniper bullet, 1,500 yards.

Ah. Well, then consider me

a huge fan of the Parker way.

A thorough, detailed investigation

where no arms deal or coconspirator is left unturned.

McGEE: Mm-hmm. Oh, yeah.

They should teach this bad boy at FLETC.

The case chronology alone- thing of beauty.

Yeah, Parker was a machine.

Eighty-two witness interviews in a month?

That's got to be a record.

I'd rather throw that thing at Rogers' face.

But if anyone

deserves to be at court, it's Parker.

KNIGHT: I don't know.

I get the feeling that the federal prosecutors

aren't gonna be very happy to see him.

Brian, I'm telling you, this is gonna be

their defense strategy. What else have they got?

-I mean, I'm no lawyer, but... -You don't say.

If they attack the credibility of NCIS,

Rogers could get some traction.

So the team and I put together a list of things

that they might use against us.

-Think you should look at it. -Yeah.

We already have.

You sent it to us last week.

I know, I know, I just want to make sure

that we're, uh, we're covered on all bases.

Agent Parker,

I appreciate all you've done,

but this isn't my first rodeo.

I've prosecuted dozens of men just like Rogers.

Trust me when I say we're prepared for anything

-he might throw at us. -But-but

he's not like the others.

I've been studying Rogers nonstop for weeks.

He's smart. He creates backup plans.

And then backup plans for those backup plans.

He built an arms trafficking empire

right under our noses,

and every time somebody got close to finding out,

he got rid of them.

Until finally, when we did catch him...

...it was too late.

We all know how much

the outcome of this trial means to you.

And to everyone at NCIS.

But your job is done.

Now it's time to let us do ours.

(door opens)

(indistinct chatter)

All rise.

The United States

District Court for the District of Columbia

is now in session.

The Honorable Judge Roswyn presiding.

Please be seated.

Twenty minutes ago,

I received an ex parte application from the defense.

And after reviewing it,

I am inclined

to grant them an emergency continuance.

Brian, what the hell is going on?

Objection.

The prosecution was not made aware

-of this application. -Your Honor,

perhaps the prosecution needs to brush up on their Latin.

Ex parte means "one side only."

And perhaps the defense should brush up on the law.

They are still required to give notice.

That's enough. Mr. Flynn,

please sit.

Mr. Kramer,

I share your frustration,

but these are

highly unusual circumstances.

We have a motion under seal,

and I cannot go into more detail in open court.

Uh, Your Honor, what motion?

Mr. Kramer,

I suggest you call your boss

at the Department of Justice.

Court adjourned.

PARKER: Brian.

Brian, talk to me.

A motion under seal can only mean one thing.

He's making a deal.

Rogers is getting immunity.

You telling me he's gonna walk?

I need to call my office.

How could you not know that Rogers

was making an immunity deal

with the Justice Department?

You are the Justice Department.

His lawyer went over my head,

straight to the attorney general.

Agent Parker, this all happened very fast.

What exactly is in this deal?

In exchange for immunity

and witness protection, Rogers has agreed

to hand over valuable intel to the United States.

-What intel? -Apparently it's classified

need-to-know.

You're prosecuting the case.

Don't you need to know?

Agent Parker, please.

This isn't over.

The case has been postponed,

it has not been dismissed.

-What does that mean? -His deal is not done.

No one's signed on the dotted line yet.

So you're saying Rogers could still go to trial?

I wouldn't count on that, Agent Parker.

We're confident our deal will be worked out by tomorrow.

There's just a few, um,

sticking points

regarding the details

of my client's new life in WITSEC.

Oh, what, no sauna in his Deer Valley ski chalet?

No, I'm talking about his protection detail, Agent Parker.

-Ah. -There are criminal elements

that would do anything to stop my client

from revealing his intel.

My client is putting

-his life at risk. -PARKER: Oh, yeah,

-he's a real hero. -And because of that risk,

along with the classified nature of this deal,

I'm officially putting a gag order

on all parties until

this deal is done.

No one is to discuss this outside my chambers.

Are you kidding me?

I beg your pardon?

You're gonna let this deal happen in the dark?!

-Agent Parker, watch your tone. -No!

Rogers needs to be held accountable

for what he did to Leon Vance,

not to mention all the people who died

because of the weapons he sold

to warlords and terrorists.

Agent Parker, this is your final warning.

Control yourself

or I will be forced to...

To what? You gonna throw me in jail

and let Rogers walk?

How can you call yourself a judge?

Agent Parker!

Parker punched the assistant U.S. attorney?

That is what the deputy clerk just told me.

The judge arrested Parker for contempt of court.

He's sitting in a holding cell waiting for her to set bail.

If he wanted to hit someone,

-why didn't he hit Rogers? -No idea.

Apparently, the judge issued a gag order,

so even if we could ask Parker, he wouldn't be able to tell us.

Except I think Parker found a way

to tell us despite the gag order.

Didn't take long for the press to get wind

that a federal agent

punched an AUSA in the judge's chambers.

-Well, it's one hell of a story. -Yeah, I think Parker

knew it would be. The press pounced

and made mincemeat of that gag order.

Son of a bitch.

Rogers is trying to make a deal?

He's offering intel?

Well, what could he possibly have

that we don't already know about?

-We missed something. -KASIE: Exactly.

And I think that's why Parker

wanted to get us this message.

The deal's not done.

That means we still have a chance to kill it.

We just need to find what we missed.

If we can figure out what intel Rogers is offering

the government before he closes his deal...

Rogers' intel would be worthless.

I'll hit up his coconspirators.

I'll check for holes in the case chronology.

I'll take witness statements. That's a good job, Kase.

It wasn't me. It was Parker.

I just hope he's doing okay in that holding cell.

Why is it we keep meeting through bars?

Don't tell me you flew halfway around the world

just to come here and gloat.

I was on leave.

You could have told your brother.

Telling you now.

How much trouble are you in?

Depends.

If the lawyer I hit

decides not to press charges,

I'll get a fine and time served.

-And if he does? -We'll be meeting through

a different set of bars next time.

Aldie, wh... why did you have to do that?

-Let's just say I had a plan. -Yeah?

That plan have anything to do with Wayne Rogers making a deal?

How did you hear about that?

It's all over the news.

Looks like my plan worked.

Listen, Harry, can you get me out of here?

I promise, I'll pay you back for the bail money.

Do you know what tomorrow is, Aldie?

Yeah.

A year since we lost Dad.

Not just Dad.

I lost you too.

Remember?

Thirty-nine hours, I thought you were dead.

Thirty-nine hours, I was alone.

I was the only Parker left.

So before I let you out of here,

I need to know that this isn't gonna be

another Carla Marino, okay?

I need to know that you will trust the system

to bring Rogers to justice.

You know who I've been thinking about

while I've been in here?

Ricky Quinn. You remember him?

Yeah, I just, I remember the stories from when we were kids.

The devil of Deerfield.

He'd steal from stores, drive drunk every night.

And nobody could do anything about it

because he was the police chief's son. Untouchable.

Yeah.

You remember what happened to him?

Mm, wasn't he killed in a random hit-and-run?

Except it wasn't random.

Overheard Dad talking about it one night.

Turns out that someone tampered with the alternator

in Ricky's car.

He only made it a few miles down the road

before his car broke down.

Middle of nowhere.

No witnesses.

What the hell is wrong with you?

I ask you to trust the system, to not go

all vigilante, and this-this is the story you tell?

-Harry, you're missing the point. -Was there a point?

Yeah, Wayne Rogers is not Ricky Quinn.

He's not untouchable.

I caught him once, I can catch him again.

And I can do it the right way.

But I can't do it from inside this cell.

If you want me to trust the system,

then you have to trust me.

REPORTER: How will you move forward in the case?

REPORTER 2: Mr. Kramer, Mr. Kramer.

REPORTER 3: What is the protocol in this case?

Mr. Kramer, will you comment on what happened

-in the judge's chambers? -HARRIET: You really know

how to stir up trouble.

I don't know what you're talking about.

REPORTER 4: What about the accessory to murder charges?

Who will be held accountable for NCIS Director Leon Vance?

KRAMER: I'm sorry, I cannot comment at this time.

As I said, there's a gag order in place.

REPORTER: In your case against Rogers...

Let's-let's get out of here.

KRAMER: I'm sorry, I cannot comment at this time.

(reporters clamoring)

* *

Aldie, I'm trusting you.

What? I'm not gonna do anything stupid.

Especially, uh, when he's with court security.

Oh, well, good. Looks like he's got backup arriving.

They're not wearing the standard protection pins.

Something's wrong.

Federal agent!

-Drop your weapons! -(people exclaiming)

(gunfire continuing)

Are you out of your mind? Get down.

You okay?

Yeah. You?

(door closes)

Somebody call an ambulance.

Oh, God. Is he dead?

Thanks for this.

Hey, Parker.

Still no ID on the gunman you took out,

but, uh, Jimmy's got his body now.

What about the other one?

He was tackled outside the courthouse.

Knock on the head, he's in the hospital,

but when he's awake, we'll get him talking.

-How's the admiral? -She's okay.

Saved a reporter's life.

Like sister, like brother.

Not really.

The security guard that was assigned to Rogers

went down before I could get off a shot.

Peter Wilson. He's got a wife and two kids.

I'm gonna need to call her, tell her what happened.

Maybe don't tell her who her husband died protecting.

FLYNN: Hey!

How long is my client gonna be sitting in this holding cell?

Until it's safe to move him.

Oh, really? Anywhere is safer than here.

Someone just tried to kill him in this building.

And we're working on finding out who.

You got any ideas?

Uh, don't answer that. My client will not

-be discussing this matter. -TORRES: What?

That doesn't make any sense.

-(laughs) -No.

No, actually, it does.

What is it you said back in the judge's chambers?

There are criminal elements who would try to stop Rogers

from revealing his intel? Well, those gunmen

were the criminal elements, weren't they?

Blink if I'm getting warmer.

You're afraid that if we figure out who's after you,

we're one step closer to killing your deal.

That's all you care about.

A man just died protecting you.

Then it looks like I need a new bodyguard, doesn't it?

Perhaps someone with quicker reflexes.

I'll tell you one thing.

It ain't gonna be me.

Parker?

(indistinct conversation)

What's up?

I figured out how the gunmen got in.

Besides dressing up

as court security officers,

they also hacked the U.S. Marshals' database

and faked their credentials.

Are you saying the Marshals are compromised?

No, not just the Marshals.

That same database contains the locations

for almost every federal safe house.

I hate to say it,

but NCIS may be the only agency

we can trust to protect this guy.

-Oh, hell no. -McGEE: Look, Nick,

I don't like it either, okay?

But this could be good for us, this could help.

We haven't figured out Rogers' intel yet,

but if we keep him close...

Maybe, uh, he'll let something slip.

Yeah, protecting Rogers may be our best shot

at killing his deal.

(elevator bell dings)

You okay?

Oh, yes, yes.

Just thinking about Officer Wilson's sacrifice.

How he could give his life,

even for a monster like Rogers.

It's how he was trained.

I wonder if I would do the same.

Let's hope we never have to find out.

And let's hope we can find something

that'll help us ID our gunman over here.

Nothing from the fingerprints?

No, nor the DNA.

But he has other identifying features.

He has his hair implants,

for starters. And then,

we have the pec implants.

Also, we have

calf implants, gluteal augmentation.

Oh, and...

another implant

which I probably shouldn't mention.

It's his penis.

Hm. So we have a very vain gunman.

Yeah, and a rich one.

I mean, none of this would have come cheap.

But I have to say,

these calf implants were worth every penny.

They are perfect.

-Jimmy? -Hm?

You don't need calf implants.

I know that.

I-I'm very proud of my calves.

No, I'm-I'm talking about

the surgery here.

You can't even see the scar line.

Whoever did this was an artist.

Any way to find out?

Could help us identify the body.

I already took one of the gluteal implants out

and sent it to Kasie to see if she can track it down.

Now, statistically speaking,

most of these surgeries are done in South American countries.

Well, that could be where he's from.

Well, the sooner we ID this guy,

the sooner we kill Rogers' deal.

Assuming Parker doesn't kill Rogers first.

Jess, there has

to be a better place to keep that man safe.

Maybe. But you got to admit,

it is the last place anyone expects.

PARKER: Welcome to casa del Parker.

Agent Kim will be stationed outside the door at all times.

Guest bedroom and bathroom are through there.

No central heating,

but I do have a wood-burning stove.

Is this your idea of a joke?

These windows are a clear security issue.

A sniper could take me out.

Then stay away from the windows.

Oh, and, uh,

there's beer in the fridge. Help yourself.

Oh, I'm sure you'd like that.

A lot easier to get me to spill my secrets

if I'm three sheets to the wind.

Well, it was worth a shot.

I guess I'll have to learn about

your South American

enemies from the gunman we captured.

I would like to help you, Agent Parker.

But I'm under strict instructions

not to talk about it.

But, um,

there is something I want to talk about.

Director Vance.

See, I think there's been some confusion,

and I wanted to explain

-my side of things. -Your side?

Because of you, his children have no father.

And that's tragic, but I never wanted

Director Vance to get hurt.

I admired him.

The only person responsible for his death was Agent Thompson.

Who was working for you,

and shot Leon to cover up your crimes.

There's no confusion.

You might as well

have pulled the trigger yourself.

I'm sorry.

I know you and the director were close,

and I understand how this might cloud your judgment.

Shut up!

I changed my mind.

I don't need you to talk.

It's only a matter of time

before we find out what you're hiding.

Be careful, Agent Parker.

You might not like what you find.

Enjoy the view.

(door closes)

(soft chuckle)

I'm Assistant U.S. Attorney Brian Kramer.

My wife Caroline and I have been taken hostage.

They say they'll kill us unless Wayne Rogers

and their captured comrade are released by noon tomorrow.

Came in through the NCIS TIPS reporting app

about 20 minutes ago.

KRAMER: More instructions will be given

two hours before the deadline.

Please give them what they want.

These people are...

MPD sent units to the Kramer house.

Looks like that's where the abduction took place.

Knight and Torres are on their way to the scene now.

All right, what do you got- who are we dealing with here?

Kasie traced the dead gunman's implants to a clinic

in Caracas, and they got a name.

Guillermo Salazar. Now, Torres

ran that name by Venezuelan sources and got a hit.

He's a member of Los Verdugos cartel.

They're responsible for

a lot of the violence in Venezuela recently.

And they're the reason that Rogers

is getting an immunity deal.

He must have some pretty good dirt on them.

Lucky for you, I brought a shovel,

and I used it to dig out

the serial numbers on the gunman's weapon.

They belong to the U.S. Navy.

How the hell did they

-get Navy guns? -Good question,

'cause those guns should be sitting

in a Virginia arms depot,

part of a larger stockpile of weapons.

But I checked. The entire stockpile is missing.

Well, it's got to be Rogers.

Well, he was an arms dealer.

Yeah, who worked for the Army. To access a Navy depot,

would have needed a man on the inside.

Yeah, but none of Rogers' coconspirators were Navy.

-(tablet beeps) -Ooh.

Yeah, none that we knew about,

but I just got the name of the last Navy officer

to access the weapons stockpile.

That could be our man on the inside.

Oh.

What? Who is it?

Uh, our man on the inside

isn't a man.

It's your sister.

Hey. How's it going with the hostage video?

Not great. Kramer and his wife

are sitting in front of a blank, gray wall,

there are no natural light sources,

and I'm not detecting any ambient sounds.

They could be anywhere.

So you better have something good for me

from the Kramer house.

Ah.

What is that?

I don't know. But I found it near

the kicked-in front door,

so maybe it's from the kidnappers' shoes?

Could be drywall.

But, hey, with four hours left

until they kill the hostages, I'll take any lead.

What about our biggest lead?

Parker's sister.

Do we really think that she worked with Rogers

to smuggle weapons to a Venezuelan cartel?

I don't know what I think, but here's what we know.

Six months ago,

Admiral Parker accessed a weapons stockpile in Virginia.

A few days later, she was deployed to Venezuela.

And just yesterday, some of those weapons

appeared in the hands of Venezuelan cartel hit men.

None of which is a good look for the admiral.

Has Parker brought her in for questioning yet?

He, um...

decided to go another way.

(door closes)

Why is it we keep meeting through bars?

(scoffs)

What is this, some kind of juvenile prank?

Huh?

You have me arrested outside my house

and brought here for questioning?

-It was for your protection. -Protection from what?

What are you doing here, Harry?

That's what I'm asking you.

No, in D.C.

Why are you in D.C.- why now?

Does it have anything to do with the Rogers trial?

Are you afraid that your name might come up during it?

Why would my name come up during the trial?

I don't know.

Maybe because your guns were in the hands of men

who tried to kill Rogers yesterday.

And us.

They... they were Los Verdugos?

Rogers told me that if I kept digging,

I wouldn't like what I would find.

Aldie, it-it is not what it looks like.

Oh, well, I'm happy to hear that.

Because it looks like you trafficked weapons for Rogers.

Why does it look like that?

I can't talk about it.

-(door buzzes) -(lock clicks)

-Harry. -Aldie,

you-you can't possibly think that I would...

Of course you wouldn't. I know you.

I don't actually think you did anything wrong,

but what I think doesn't matter.

'Cause on paper, this looks really bad for you.

That's because it is really bad.

And I did do something wrong.

(exhales sharply)

I did it.

I gave those guns to Los Verdugos.

Why would you give weapons to a cartel?

Because they weren't a cartel when I gave them the weapons.

They were an antigovernment group.

Rebels with a cause, a cause our country shared.

Toppling the Venezuelan government.

The weapons transfer

was a classified U.S. military operation.

But once Los Verdugos

got their hands on our weapons,

they abandoned their noble revolution

and started terrorizing people.

And I have to live with that.

And I may have to take the fall for it, too.

What are you talking about?

You wanted to know what I'm doing in D.C.?

I've been called before Congress.

They're looking for someone to take the blame.

-(Parker sighs) -Hm.

Yeah, this time next week,

I doubt I'll have my stars.

Or a job.

The Navy has been my whole life.

And I can't imagine how I'll...

But that's not our biggest problem right now.

'Cause we didn't just give Los Verdugos small arms.

We gave them heavy weaponry, too.

Uh, what kind of heavy weaponry?

KNIGHT: They gave the cartel Patriot missiles?

TORRES: Those things can take down an aircraft.

McGEE: Well, according to Parker,

his sister objected to the weapons transfer,

but orders are orders.

How is Rogers involved?

U.S. Army provided the Patriot missile system

to Admiral Parker.

As Army CID director,

-Rogers was informed of the transfer. -TORRES: The cartel

wants him dead because he knows where the missiles are.

That's the intel that he's trying to exchange for immunity.

Well, if that's true,

then the sooner Rogers makes that deal,

the sooner we can recover those missiles.

And the safer everyone is.

Tell that to the hostages.

If Rogers makes his deal, the cartel has no reason

-to keep them alive. -McGEE: They send

instructions for the exchange?

Yeah, but it doesn't matter. The DOJ will never

authorize Rogers' release.

Okay. Well, we have less than two hours

until the cartel kills the hostages. We need a plan.

-Sniper bullet, 1,500 yards. -Nick.

-Uh, what does that mean? -The Gibbs way.

Right. Whatever it takes.

But that's not us,

-okay? -Mm.

We still got an hour and 46 minutes to find

the hostages, so find them.

REPORTER: Authorities are saying the Kramers were abducted

-from their home late last night. -Wait outside.

So, you've seen the news?

It's terrible.

...has been in the news lately.

-Any leads? -Los Verdugos

cartel, the people who tried to kill you at the courthouse.

They want you in exchange for the hostages.

And you're actually considering it.

Give me a reason not to.

You'd risk ruining your career,

breaking your oath as a law enforcement officer...

-Oh, you're one to talk. -I think you know

all the reasons, Agent Parker.

And I think you're gonna do it anyway.

You know, whatever game you're playing...

The only one playing games

is you.

You're playing cop

when all the rest of us know what you really are.

Oh, yeah, I know all about you, Parker.

You were a bad seed.

You were in jail by the time you were 15.

Repeat offender. Well on your way

to spending the rest of your life behind bars.

And now you expect us all to believe you

saw the light, ditched your criminal past

to became an upstanding federal agent?

I don't buy it.

No one can change what's in their DNA.

Once a bad seed, always a bad seed.

You don't know me.

Sure I do.

I'm a bad seed, just like you.

So what are we waiting for?

I'm ready.

Let's get this over with.

(phone rings)

Yeah, Kasie?

It was barnacle residue.

-What? -The evidence Knight found

at the Kramers' house. I thought it was drywall,

which makes sense since they're both calcium carbonate, but...

-Kasie. -Sorry, not important.

What is important is this is a specific kind of barnacle

found only in one place.

Belmont Bay. And...

guess whose dry storage facility

was recently closed

for a barnacle infestation.

Send me an address and tell Torres and Knight

to meet me there.

I guess you get to play cop again.

-Clear. -Clear.

TORRES: Found 'em!

Sorry, this is gonna hurt.

Thank you.

Ow. Parker.

Sorry. Brian, where is everybody?

They left. About 30 minutes ago.

They took a call and then left.

Why would they leave right before the deadline?

(dialing)

PARKER: Agent Kim isn't answering.

Tell McGee to get to my apartment now.

(police radio chatter)

Where's Rogers?

He's gone.

And I found Agent Kim unconscious.

How the hell did the cartel know where to find him?

Rogers told them. Agent Kim said that

Rogers knocked him out,

then used Kim's phone to make a call.

Now, I pulled your alley

surveillance camera. Look at this.

The cartel doesn't want to kill Rogers.

They're working for him.

Maryland State Police found the SUV that picked up Rogers.

The cartel torched it just outside the Beltway.

Must have switched vehicles.

All right, get their photos to the coast guard,

TSA, highway patrol,

and every gas station between here and the border.

Nick is already on it.

Parker.

This isn't your fault.

We all thought that Rogers was in danger.

Turns out he was the danger.

You know he tried to get me to turn him in to the cartel?

I thought he was playing games,

but he was telling me

exactly what he wanted.

I might be able to tell you who he was talking to.

Take a look at this.

Now, Rogers used Agent Kim's cell phone

to call a burner.

Now, I don't know who the burner belongs to,

but I know where it's been.

Pinging off of all these cell towers.

They're all near prisons.

Well, whoever Rogers called

visits a lot of prisons.

-(scoffs) -Micah Flynn.

I got to say, it was a real shock

when we found out that Rogers hired you as his lawyer.

Agent Parker, if you've pulled me in here

because you think I know where my client is, I don't.

So I suggest you release me or I will file

a misconduct complaint with the office of the inspector general.

You go ahead, because we're here to talk to you

about one of your other clients.

Oh.

You represent a lot of scumbags,

but only one of them is a member

of Los Verdugos Cartel.

Victor Delgado is the real reason

that Rogers hired you.

McGEE: Rogers needed someone to be

a contact with the cartel.

That's how he planned his escape.

Rogers called you, you called Victor,

Victor called the cartel.

Attorney-client privilege covers a lot,

but it doesn't cover criminal conspiracy.

PARKER: We have agents with Victor

right now, offering him a deal

if he tells us where Rogers is going.

We are offering you the same deal,

but it can only go to one of you.

Whoever talks first.

(scoffs)

What's funny?

I've defended a lot of really terrible people in my life,

but until I met Rogers, I never had a client

that was truly evil.

I made a deal with the devil.

Guess I should have known it would end like this.

I wish I could tell you where he is.

I'm just the middleman.

(phone ringing)

It's Torres.

Did Rogers ever have intel to trade?

Does he even know where the Patriot missiles are?

He knows.

Because he's had the missiles the entire time.

He offered them

to the cartel if they could secure his rescue.

All right.

If we find the missiles,

-we might find Rogers? -Yeah.

And do the world a favor, Agent Parker.

Don't take him alive this time.

(door opens)

We made a deal with Flynn's other client.

He said that the cartel has booked passage

on a ship in Baltimore Harbor,

but he doesn't know the name.

All right, get to the harbor.

Have Torres and Knight meet you.

I may know somebody who can help us find that ship.

My team is ten minutes away.

We also closed the harbor.

Nobody comes in or out.

You sure this is no problem?

You asking if I'm authorized to task

a military drone over U.S. airspace?

You really want to know the answer?

I thought I was the only black sheep in this family.

Oh, don't worry, Aldie.

You still lead the flock.

But I do need to thank you.

For what?

For keeping your word.

For not going all vigilante on Rogers

and trusting the system.

You think Dad's looking down on us today?

Well, if he is, maybe he can

-help us find that ship. -Mm.

-WOMAN: Admiral? -Yes, I'm here.

-We have IR visual. -Copy that.

You asked and Dad answered.

That's a perfect match to a Patriot missile

-launch cannister. -And I count five people

on board. Let's hope one of them is Rogers.

McGee. We got it.

(indistinct chatter)

Federal agents.

Manos arriba.

The wall. La pared.

(gunshots)

De nada.

Rogers!

I go.

ROGERS (in distance): Well, that's not good enough, darling.

You understand what I have here, don't you?

It's always a pleasure doing business with you.

Hands up.

You give me a minute?

Turn around.

You don't want to shoot me in the back, Agent Torres?

Drop your phone.

I said drop it.

Actually,

I think you're gonna want to take this.

(door closes)

Agent Parker.

(chuckles) I take it from the look on your face

you've heard the news.

You made another immunity deal.

All on my own this time.

No lawyer necessary.

We recovered the missiles.

Your intel's no longer valuable, never was.

But I have new intel.

And if that new intel

doesn't whet their whistle,

I got a few dozen more juicy tidbits

in my back pocket.

Backup plans for backup plans.

Hm.

This time tomorrow,

I'll be in witness protection.

New life.

But not really.

You can't change what's in your DNA.

What are you saying?

I've still got a lot of skin in the game.

You're gonna keep running guns from WITSEC?

You don't have enough blood on your hands already?

I'm not responsible

for what other people do with the weapons I sell them.

If you think for one second

that I won't stop you any way I can...

And how exactly

are you gonna do that?

They're gonna make me disappear.

You won't be able to find me.

But I'll tell you this.

I feel much safer knowing that

I will always be able to find you.

And your team.

And your sister.

There's got to be something we can do.

Jess, we've been over this already.

We can't just let him get away.

(sighs) Except he already has.

My friend in the Marshals' office told me that

Rogers entered WITSEC this morning,

so he's gone.

Rogers won.

Where are you going?

Anywhere but here.

Have you guys seen the news?

Why, what happened?

It's Rogers.

REPORTER: We have this breaking news

coming in just now from the U.S. Marshals,

who have confirmed that they were transporting

former Army CID Director Wayne Rogers

along Route 4 this morning when he was shot and killed.

-(phone vibrates) -The Marshals have not yet provided

any details about the shooting,

but we are hearing no suspects

have been taken into custody just yet.

It was a sniper.

My friend in the Marshals' office

just texted me. They found the snipers nest

almost 4,500 feet away.

There are not a lot of snipers

that could make a shot from that distance.

No, there's not.

Hey. So, how was Congress?

Uh, went shockingly well.

Ah. Well, not surprising. After all,

uh, you recovered the missiles.

No, NCIS recovered the missiles.

Because of you, I still have my stars

and the job I love.

Glad it worked out. We should celebrate.

You want to stay for dinner?

What, you're cooking it on that thing?

I thought I'd give it a try, yeah. Beer?

Sure, yeah. Thanks.

So, I heard about Rogers.

Um, FBI have any leads on the sniper?

Eh, couldn't say.

But I don't envy them the task.

You know, Rogers had a lot of secrets,

which means he had a lot of enemies, too. Here.

Cheers.

You know, when I first heard that he was killed,

for a second, I thought...

(scoffs) Me?

No, I'm flattered, Harry.

Believe me, uh, I would have loved

to have taken the shot, but I don't know the first thing

about sniper rifles.

And what about car engines?

What do you mean?

Well, even if someone's an expert sniper,

the only way they could be sure to get that shot

would be if the Marshals' car was stopped,

which it was.

Oh, it's not my investigation.

You'd have to talk to the FBI.

I did.

They said the car broke down

on Route 4,

and that someone

had disconnected the alternator.

Just like Ricky Quinn.

But, you know,

it could have been a loose connection, too.

Like I said, I, uh,

I don't envy the FBI.

But, hey, you got to trust the system.

Right?

Hope you brought your appetite.

I got some salmon,

fresh from Alaska.
