Stay on the ridge.
Go.

It's this way.

See ya.

Where are you go...

It's this way.

Go! Go!

(grunts)

(gun cocks)

Your little field trip's over.

(silenced gunshots)

(grunts)

Help me.

Kessler! Kessler!

♪ I've got... ♪

Move another step
and I'll bow you up.

Took you long enough.

You're a crazy bastard.

You can't even imagine.

♪ ♪

I know, a-and I love you.
I'm just saying

that if we're gonna go down
the infertility road,

I just think... What?

Uh, fertility.

Not the infertility road.

The fertility road.

Got to think positive,
sweetheart.

We are having a baby!

Yeah. No, no.

No, I know we're having a baby.
I'm just saying

if we could have a budget,
it would be amazing,

because having a baby this way

gets really expensive
really fast, so...

I understand that.

I think that we have to do
whatever it takes.

Even if it means
going into debt.

Did you just say "debt"

and then smile at me? Because
that seems counterintuitive.

Debt is...

We're about to go
into debt

for a house.

Right.

This is so much more
important than that.

You know what I mean?
It's like,

it'll make our lives richer.
More fulfilled.

Richer. Fulfilled.

We'll have more fun.
It'll bring us closer.

Uh-huh.

You know what?

A kid will
literally define our lives,

so, yeah. Debt.

Yeah, no, no, I agree
with all that. I'm just saying,

can we have a budget
for the debt, then? I mean,

I just want to know how
deep into this black hole

of bankruptcy we're
willing to descend, right?

(phone vibrating)

The-the bar is bleeding money,
we're about to close

on a house,
and I just think it's important

that while we're looking
into these... Go ahead.

Hold on a second. Hey.

Yeah, that's fine.

FATIMA: Oh, good. You're there.

I just got a call from
a Secret Service Agent Monroe.

She said there was an escape

from the federal prison
in Winona, Arizona.

They need to speak
to you immediately.

Did she say anything else?

Just that it's urgent
and classified.

Okay.

I'll patch you into a
secure line with Monroe in Ops.

You got it.
I'm heading up.

We have a case.

All right.

I'm gonna pack these boxes,
head home,

and I'll come
pick you up afterwards?

Well, I think
you are wasting your time.

Hetty's gonna have you
back here in a week.

MONROE:
At 4:30 this morning,

two prisoners escaped
the federal correctional complex

in Winona, Arizona.

One of them is Randy Sinclair.

KENSI: Yeah, I've heard
of Sinclair. I read

a security report
that said he was convicted

of plotting to assassinate
the president

a couple years ago?

It was just luck
that we got to Sinclair

before he was able to make the
actual attempt on the president.

Was there a rumor that said
he was a former CIA agent?

Is that true?

The Agency denied it,

but it's true.
Sinclair is incredible smart.

He was recruited by the Agency
right out of college,

but it became clear he was
an uncontrollable psychopath.

He was discharged from the CIA.

That, apparently,
is what set him on a path

to kill the president.

KENSI:
And now he's on the loose.

He's very capable,
and somebody helped him.

All right, how can we help?

Not "we."

You, specifically, Agent Blye.

The other prisoner
who escaped with Sinclair

is David Kessler.

I believe you arrested him
in 2008.

I did. Was he with Sinclair?

No. He was caught
and is back in custody.

Do you think he knows
where Sinclair is?

He claims he does.

But he said he'll only speak
to Special Agent Kensi Blye.

To be frank,

I think he's obsessed with you.

We need you out here, fast.

Okay.

DEEKS: Wait a minute.

Isn't this the guy that sent you

those creepy valentines
every year

through the D.C. office?

Yep.

I had them stop forwarding them
to me years ago.

SAM (over comms): Kens?

Yeah. Sam.

I'm in the building. Fatima's
here, too. She filled us in.

I'm on, too.

KENSI: Okay, so, I arrested

Kessler and helped prosecute him

right before I joined
the Office of Special Projects.

Hetty showed us the case file
when she brought you in.

It was very impressive.

That's how you got
your job here.

SAM: Wasn't he

dealing weapons
in Argentina and Iran?

KENSI: Yes, he was.

He was also involved
in human trafficking of minors.

Great, so he's super creepy
and a scumbag.

CALLEN: Deeks,

you got to hand in your comms.

Before I pull them out of your
ears with pliers, all right?

Just stand down until we get
your situation straightened out.

CALLEN:
It's only gonna be
a few more weeks.

Hetty will take care
of everything.

DEEKS: Yeah.

No, no, I'm g...
I'm-I'm gonna take 'em out.

They think Kessler
might know something

about Sinclair's whereabouts,
so I'm headed to Arizona.

Guys, I should go with her.
He obviously wants to kill her.

SAM: Deeks!

CALLEN: Deeks!

Deeks.

Not gonna happen.

FATIMA: Guys,

I just found out that Kessler's
former girlfriend,

Michelle Boucher,
is living in Los Feliz.

Maybe she'll have something

Kensi can use
to get Kessler to talk.

I'll take care of that.

SAM: All right. I'll take

Rountree and, uh,
give Kens some backup.

Maybe aid in the search
for Sinclair.

Thank you.

SAM: Deeks,

I'm getting my pliers now.

Flight's arranged
out of Santa Monica.

Wheels up in 30,
if you can make it.

Oh, we can make it.

MAN:
When Kessler got here,
he was violent.

Biting guards,

throwing his urine on them,
so he was put here.

About a year ago,
he began calming down.

Said he found God.
Really thought he'd changed.

(indistinct catcalls)

He was allowed to work in
other parts of the facility.

You think that was part
of his plan to escape?

Could be.

We're sending
the security cam feeds

back to your operations center

like you asked. Yeah.

KENSI: Appreciate that.

(Kessler grunting)

FATIMA: I'm seeing it.

Agent Blye is here.

Hey!

You asked to speak
to Agent Blye.

She's here.

I'll only talk to her alone,
Warden.

(grunting)

You're an arrogant bastard.

No, I'm not.

I just understand
the balance of power.

And right now,
it's decidedly

on this side of the glass.

Skedaddle.

(sighs)

Deeks, you know you're not
supposed to be in here

until you're reinstated
as a liaison.

KESSLER:
And you're looking

more beautiful than I remember.

Yeah, well,
I'm not staying long,

so why don't you go ahead
and tell me what you know

about Sinclair's escape.

I didn't ask you to come here

just to give you my information

and have you
walk out of my life again.

This meeting
is years in the making.

We need to move slowly.

Savor it.

No.

We actually don't.
So, why don't you

just go ahead
and tell me what you know.

Do you have any idea

how much I've thought about you
all these years?

You got to be kidding me
with this guy.

Deeks,

you need to leave.
Do not put me

in this position.

I'm not gonna leave.

KENSI:
Where is Sinclair?

But now that you're here,
you disappoint me.

How so?

Because

you...

went and got married.

No. I didn't.

Yes, you did.

There's a red irritation mark

around the ring finger
of your left hand.

You took it off so
that I wouldn't see.

Well, that's not why
I took off my ring.

But it's okay.

We can still have sex.

Hubby doesn't have to know.

This guy's dangerous.

KENSI:
I would have thought

you hated me at this point

for putting you in prison

for 30 years.

You can hate someone
and still have sex with them.

Hold on a second,

so, those little push-ups
that you were doing--

that was to impress me?
That's sweet.

You want to show me
how virile you are?

No.

I just want to be ready.

Ready for what?

You're a capable woman, Kensi.

When I get out of here,

I want to be ready
to hunt you down,

have sex with you

and then kill you.

Maybe not even in that order.

Okay. If she doesn't

kill him, I'm going to.

That's it.

Callen, Deeks is in Ops
and he won't leave.

CALLEN: Deeks,

get out or I'm sending agents
up there to pull you out.

I'm not joking.
And give Fatima your comm.

That was a mistake.

Michelle Boucher?

NCIS.

What's this about?

I need to speak with you.

About what?

David Kessler.

(car door opens)

NCIS?

Agent Hanna,
Agent Rountree.

You Agent Rudolph?

That's me. Did, uh, Agent Blye

get any information
from David Kessler?

Not yet.

Any luck here?

Nothing yet.

Got the National Forest
to the south and west.

Figured we'd make our way north

toward Interstate 40.

He's gonna need a car to get

out of here.

What if he heads
into the National Forest

up one of these mountains?

(chuckles)
It's December.

He'd freeze to death overnight.

You boys just let us know
if Kessler says anything.

That's all we need
from you guys.

ROUNTREE:
Will do.

You like the woods?

I love them.

What you thinking?

This guy's former CIA.

He had help escaping.

He planned this for months.

He knows if he goes to
the interstate, he gets caught.

If he has help, he could survive
in this wilderness.

Whoever he's
working with

could have left him
cold-weather clothes,

a tent, supplies, a stove.

FBI goes to the roads,
we go to the mountains.

Gear up.

Let's go hunting.

I heard they put you in here

'cause you were acting
like an animal.

Yes.

Then I found God.

(laughing)

Well, it's a pretty big cell.

Nicest one I've ever seen.

It's amazing
what a good lawyer

and loyal Washington connections

can get you.

Yeah, see, I'm finding
it hard to believe

that anybody in Washington
would stay loyal

to a convicted criminal
who's going to be in prison

for the next 30 years.

Oh.

So naive...

my sweet,

sweet government employee.

All right,
why don't you educate me?

A safety deposit box
filled with photos and videos

of men in compromising positions

is a great motivator.

Especially in Washington.

You want me to think that
you have all the power?

You don't.

Sinclair is on the run.

Every minute
that you waste now means

that whatever information
you give me is that much older

and that much more
worthless to me.

And that thing that you
did with those girls--

used them, buying them,

selling them
like a trinket on eBay--

that's what I'm doing with you.

So let's cut
the crap.

Where's Sinclair?

God, I've missed you.

CALLEN:
So, how long

were you
David Kessler's girlfriend?

He doesn't really
keep girlfriends.

I was very young.

He seduced me with money
and private jets.

But you were with him for years.

He also seduced me with cocaine.

I became an addict.

I was with him,
but I wasn't his girlfriend.

My relationship was
with the drug, not the man.

I looked over the
case against Kessler.

It seems that the
federal prosecutor felt

that maybe you were behind
his prostitution business.

I did invite some friends
to his social circle.

Other young women who were
as susceptible as I was.

But I did not run any business.

Is that why you weren't charged?

I wasn't charged
because I was a victim.

If you were a victim,
why didn't you testify?

Because I wasn't just another
girl who could disappear.

David knew everything about me.

He's met my mother, my sister.

If I testified,
he'd find me and kill me.

He can't hurt you from prison.

(laughs)

Trust me.

David Kessler
will figure a way out.

He's not only
the smartest man

I've ever met.

He's also the most evil.

David did manage
to escape this morning.

But he's been recaptured,
and we need your help.

We have an agent
interviewing him now, but

Kessler has information
that could lead to the capture

of a very dangerous prisoner
who is still on the run.

Are you sure
he's back in prison?

Yeah.

SAM:
I wonder if there's any

brown recluse
spiders out here.

Oh, more likely to get bit
by a black widow

or a wolf spider
in Arizona.

And you know this how?

I'm a bit
of an amateur arachnologist.

Stop.

No, I'm serious.

Loved Spider-Man,
started studying spiders,

got more and
more into it.

You know, people are

terrified of spiders,
when really,

there's a lot more dangerous
stuff out here to be afraid of.

You, there's
rattlesnakes and...

Look at this.

See how the grass
is compressed?

Someone had a one-man tent here.

They spent the night.

Sam?

That's a .408 CheyTac.

Recently fired.
Could mean Sinclair has help.

And he's most likely armed.

Like I said,

there's a lot more dangerous
things than spiders out here.

You know what I think?

I don't think
you know where Sinclair is.

This is all
just a game for attention?

Yeah. Pretty much.

Kind of like a four-year-old
who says he has a secret,

doesn't really know anything.

If you truly
believe that, Kensi,

then you have no
insight into me,

and your psychological
analytic skills

as an investigator are terrible.

Good enough to have caught you.

Touché.

Very, very good.
(clapping)

That round goes to Agent Blye.

This is not a game, Kessler.

You know, there are three
things one thinks about

in prison, besides sex.

Suicide and escape,

which are really just two
versions of the same thing.

And revenge.

Well, your escape
from prison failed.

You don't have the guts
to kill yourself,

and your fantasies
are no more than that.

They're just fantasies
to pass the time.

Here's the thing.

Even if I can't get
out of here right now,

from now on, I'm not
in this glass box.

I'm inside your head.

Every day and every night,

all your thoughts
and all your dreams.

You can't get rid of me, Kensi.

So, as far as
you're concerned,

my fantasies...

are real.

RUDOLPH:
Yeah, uh, that's most likely
a hunter's shell.

It was fresh.

No doubt. Uh,
we're in elk season out here.

Trust me, tracking like this
is something

the FBI has
particular training in.

Plus, these are things, uh,
you boys might not understand,

coming from
an urban environment.

Okay.
Just wanted to make you aware.

Don't hurt yourselves
out there. Out.

You didn't want to tell him
you used to be an FBI agent?

(scoffs)
Think it would have mattered?

Well, your restraint
is impressive.

Being condescending
or lighting somebody up

doesn't help the investigation
move forward.

That's something
we learned in the FBI.

Hmm.

You don't think
it was a race thing?

You know, two black agents
out here in his backyard?

He did use the "U" word.

Urban.

Yeah. Most likely.

But you can't call it out
every time, man.

You'd end up never
working a case.

But sometimes.

Yeah, sometimes. Hell, yeah.
Call it for what it is.

You know, maybe I should do that
more often-- I don't know--

but what I do know is
is to be better than them.

Hmm.

(sighs)

Found another one.

What was this guy shooting at?

Elk, most likely?

Let's find out.

FATIMA:
So, one of the lawyers

that Kessler was working with

during his trial
was Dan O'Brien.

Now, he's been subsequently
disbarred for insider trading,

and now has a lobbying firm
in Washington, D.C.

KENSI:
Yeah, but that was
a long time ago.

Does Kessler still
keep in touch with him?

Oh,

BFFs.
O'Brien's been the only person

to visit Kessler in prison.
And get this:

within minutes
of his visit with Kessler,

O'Brien always calls
James Lancaster.

I'm sorry, James Lancaster,

as in the president's
chief of staff James Lancaster?

The very one.

O'Brien been calling
Lancaster's office

in the White House repeatedly
over the last three years.

So he does have
a connection to Washington.

Well, at least
he thinks he does.

Interesting thing is,
O'Brien calls the White House.

The White House
never calls O'Brien.

Yeah, but that makes sense

that the White House
wouldn't want any involvement

with Kessler.
All right,

just, um, let me know
if you find anything else.

For sure.

Thanks.

So did you love him
or was it just the money?

I never really loved him.

I was used and manipulated
like the other young women.

Well, he sold them
as prostitutes.

Yes.

Some of them were kids.

You know, I can
deal with what happened to me.

But I saw young girls...

(sniffles)

I should have done something.

I'll never forgive myself
for that.

Then help us.

What are Kessler's weaknesses?

Oh, not much.

He's wicked smart.

There has to be something.

It's funny, he can't spell

or read very well.

When I asked him about it,
he told me

he grew up chained to a heater
in his mother's bedroom

somewhere in the Bronx.

She was a crack addict

and then a prostitute.

She beat him.

She even sold him
to her clients.

Well, that would explain a lot.

I don't know
if any of it is true

or if he was just
manipulating me.

FATIMA (on comms):
Well, it's at least
based in reality.

Kessler's mother, Karen Lerman,
is currently doing time

at Sing Sing Correctional Center
in New York

for solicitation,
possession of cocaine

and vehicular manslaughter.

Patch me through to Kens.

You're on.

CALLEN:
Hey, Kens, did you
catch any of that?

Yes, Fatima patched me in.

See if you can use it.

Got it.

(grunting)

You're back.

And you're still
working out.

Always. Incessantly.

Every day,

getting stronger and stronger.

Yeah, you're a regular
Richard Simmons.

Just want to be ready.

Don't you find it pathetic

that you've been
obsessed with me and yet

I have not thought of you once
in the last 13 years?

My life is amazing,

successful--
everything yours hasn't been.

Oh, I don't know about that.

Mm.

You're married...

but you don't have any children.

How do you know
I don't have any children?

You don't have any children.

First clue
is your body.

I've been looking at it
this whole time,

studying you.

A woman's pelvis
literally cracks open

to make way for the child.

And yours hasn't cracked.

Yet.

I know it's a bit
of a guess, but...

I have seen the hips
of a great many young women.

Yeah, it is a bit of a guess.

But the confirmation
was your reaction.

When I said
you didn't have children,

your sadness was palpable.

So it's not by choice.

What is it, then?

Hubby doesn't want kids?

Or maybe...

maybe it's just not working out.

Yeah.

That's it.

How does it feel
when your mother sold you

into prostitution?

Messed you up so bad
you couldn't even speak.

Is that why you did all that
to those girls?

Inflict as much pain on them
as your mother inflicted on you?

It doesn't take a Dr. Phil
to realize

where all this tough-guy
machismo thing comes from.

It's mommy issues.

Go to hell.

Tell me how it felt
to hurt so badly

and know that
she did that to you.

What if I could bring her in?

Scream at her.

Hear her say she's sorry.

She would never say that.

Okay.

Talk to her. Forgive her.

Damn her to hell.
Whatever you want.

As satisfying as a conversation
with Mommy might be,

it's not worth
the information I have.

Okay. What is worth
the information?

If you could leave me alone
in a locked room with her,

with immunity from
a murder charge...

Now, that would be
a tempting offer.

If Sinclair
does have help,

you think other CIA agents
are involved?

(scoffs)

CIA infiltrated our office
a few years back.

That's a scary thought.

And whoever it is,
they're a good shot.

Rountree.

I'll call it in.

So Sinclair definitely had help.

SAM:
Can't imagine

Kessler didn't know something
about who Sinclair

had waiting for him out here.

If he knows
who's working with him,

it'll be that much easier
to find him.

Keep us posted.

FBI figured that
whoever's helping Sinclair,

must have a vehicle somewhere,
so they're gonna continue

focusing their search
between here and the interstate.

Okay.

Then let's keep heading south
into the National Forest.

Let's do it.

Use the dogs
as far as the ridge.

(lock buzzes)

All right, if I leave here,
you don't get anything,

I don't get anything,

so let's just make a deal.

I'm in prison.

What do you think
I could possibly desire?

CALLEN (over comms):
Kens.

Ask him if he'd like to speak
with Michelle Boucher.

I can get you a conversation
with Michelle Boucher.

He may have been
in love with her at one time.

As far as I know, she's
the only person in your past

that you don't want to kill.

She would never speak to me.

Why not?

She'd be too terrified.

(door opens)

Would you be willing to get
on the phone with David Kessler?

Five minutes, max.

No.

The man who is
still at large

is determined
to kill the president.

It is vital that he be
brought back into custody.

Now, Kessler has agreed
that if he can speak with you,

he'll tell us where that man is.

I-I...
He's in prison, okay?

He's not getting out.
You are completely safe.

I promise you.

Kens.

Michelle will speak to him.

What if I tell you
she wants to talk to you?

And you know this...

clairvoyantly?

Nope.

Not at all. We have an
NCIS agent with her right now.

He's listening
to our conversation.

Oh.

Do we have a deal?

Yes.

Let me speak to her,

and then I will tell
you everything I know.

Yeah, that's not how that works.

First you're gonna tell me
where Sinclair is,

and then if it leads
to his capture,

then by all means,
talk to Michelle all you want.

I don't think
she's gonna speak to me.

If I talk first,
I lose all my power.

I guess we have no deal.

Kens, do it.

We've got nothing to lose
with him talking to her.

KENSI:
Okay, fine, you win.

You win. You can

talk to Michelle,
and then you're going to give me

all the information
that we want.

I also want no charges brought
for my escape.

Yeah, that's up
to the federal prosecutor

to decide, not me.
I can't...

Kessler, I c...

What do you want me to do?

Give it to him.

All right,
you win again.

I'll talk
to the federal prosecutor,

and we'll make it happen.

You're a terrible negotiator.

(laughs)

(phone rings)

Hello.
You've reached

the Arizona Federal
Correctional Facility, the place

where dreams go to die. Would
you like to make a reservation?

If you don't have
any information

or you renege on this deal,

I can guarantee
that you'll be prosecuted

to the full extent of the law,
to ensure that,

more than likely,
you will die in prison.

I don't like whoever this is.

Here's Michelle Boucher.

(whispering):
Talk as long as you can.

Michelle?

Are you there, angel?

Can you hear my voice?

Just talk to him.

Say anything.

Michelle?

It's okay. You-You're safe.

I promise you,
you're safe.

It's been a long time,

but I remember you
like it was yesterday.

Listen to my words.

Let them move over you...

the way my hands used to.

(trembling):
I-I can't.

I can't. I can't.

Hello?

Hello?

I told you
she wouldn't talk to me.

You have to
understand, I did

unspeakable things
to that woman.

There was a helicopter here.

Trees are broken and ripped
from the chopper's prop wash.

Grass laid down everywhere.
This is fresh, just a few hours.

Sinclair didn't just get out
and run through the woods.

He had an endgame.

Yeah. He could be

out of the state by now.

And meanwhile,

he has us and the FBI
chasing our tails out here.

I'll call it in.

Tell them to look
at radar hits

for any helos in the area.

And start checking
the smaller airports

for anyone matching
Sinclair's description.

Copy.

DEEKS:
Uh-oh.

Mom's home.
I'm leaving. Don't worry.

This is my last box.

Deeks...

It's fine.
I totally get it.

You're just doing your job
and you're amazing

and I love you and I'll see
you at Squid & Dagger tonight?

Deeks, I have been doing
everything in my power

to get you reinstated.

But it's official.

The liaison position to NCIS

has been terminated.

Permanently.

Wait, hold on
a second,

what d-what does that mean?
Are you saying that I can't...

I can't work here anymore?
Like, that's...

Yeah.

Okay, well, that's...

What about Hetty?

Hetty

has tried everything,
exhausted all options.

Unfortunately,
this isn't NCIS's purview now.

Right.

This is all LAPD.

(sighs)

It's okay. You know,
I-I was thinking

about going to FLETC
and-and, um...

you know, becoming a real NCIS
agent, which is... it's great.

It's just frightening,
obviously, 'cause I'd start

at the bottom of the pay scale,
and I'd lose

all my LAPD pension,
and now we're about to...

close on a house,
and Kensi wants to...

I want to have a baby,
we both want to have a baby.

It's not that we...

Deeks, um,

I don't think NCIS
normally takes people your age.

Doesn't normally, or...

or never?

Because it feels like there
should be an exception,

considering the fact

that I was a lawyer
and I spent 11 years here.

I'm pretty sure it's never.

Right. So...

I'm so sorry.

No, no, you're fine.

It's okay.
I just didn't want

to make a big deal about this,

so if you just want
to let everybody know...

Yeah, of course I will.

I'm gonna, um...

I'm gonna miss this.

And I think
we did good work here.

We did great work.

(exhales)
All right, well...

keep it up.
Make me, uh, make me proud.

You made us proud, Deeks.

Every day.

Well, it looks like the
only play is to pull the plug,

tell him you're leaving.

Offer him his information
on Sinclair in exchange

for dropping the charges
on the escape.

(knocking)

KENSI:
Well, he's got
two minutes to decide,

and then I'm walking out.

Looks like
he wants you back in there.

(lock buzzes)

I believe I have a solution
to our problem.

Okay.

There's an old friend
I'd like to speak to.

Just a quick,
two-minute conversation,

and then I'll tell you
everything you want to know.

That's it?

Yes.

Okay.

Who do you want to call?

He usually

goes by the unfortunate
acronym of "POTUS."

(laughing): Okay.

Always sounded like a mixture

of "poet" and "doofus" to me.

You want to call the president?

Yes.

It's his life
that's in jeopardy.

If Sinclair gets away,
he has a vested interest.

Just two minutes

in between rounds of golf.

It's never gonna happen,
and you know it.

I'm not a stranger.

I've known him since
before he was a congressman.

That doesn't matter.

The White House
is never gonna go for it.

You should give it a whirl
if you want to find Sinclair.

You might be surprised.

Is there any way
you can let me know

when Kessler gets
out of prison?

Yeah, I'll make sure that you're
included on the list of victims

who will be notified
upon his release.

Thank you.

I'm sorry I couldn't help.

I understand.

I didn't mean
to hurt those other girls.

Right.

NELL:
I know this sounds nutty,

but the chief of staff
said the president was briefed

on Sinclair's escape
this morning

and that POTUS
remembers Kessler.

He is willing to give him
two minutes on a secure line

if that's what it takes
to catch Sinclair.

And they could not emphasize
strongly enough

that any information

of this conversation
is highly classified.

They don't want
a precedent being set

that criminals can just demand
to speak to the president.

Absolutely. I understand.

NELL:
Secret Service

will be sending a secure
sat phone to the prison

inside of 20 minutes now.

All right.

I'll be here.

Good luck.

Wow.

Agent Monroe.

We were never here.

This never occurred.

I understand.

Cameras have been switched off

and the prisoners have been
removed from the block.

Good.

Where is he?

He's around the corner.

(lock buzzes)

A female Secret Service agent.

Or is this just an awesome
role-playing experience?

David Kessler.

Here's the phone.

(line ringing)

Agent Monroe.

Wild Cat 41.

You're on.

You have two minutes.

Let's clear out.

Hello?

PRESIDENT:
You have two minutes, David.

What do you want?

I guess I should call you
"Mr. President" now.

(footsteps approaching)

So?

Agent Blye, we're done.

He says he'll only
speak with you.

Of course he does.
Thank you.

KESSLER:
Ooh, I'd love

to give that one a
good, hard spanking.

You got what you wanted.

Where's Sinclair?

I'm gonna need
a map of the area.

This was all nonsense,
wasn't it?

You have no idea where he is.

Just get me a map.

We have evidence that
a helicopter picked him up.

He's been gone for hours.

And the search was called off.

Yeah.

And none of the helicopters

tracked by radar in the area
had a passenger

that matched
Sinclair's description.

No, not yet.

You and the entire FBI

were fooled badly.

The helicopter
landed and left.

What?

Its entire purpose was
to get the search called off.

Sinclair is still
on the ground

with food and supplies
for the next six weeks.

Just get me a map.

(lock buzzes)

(lock buzzes)

Okay. Show me.

(door closes)

Closer.

Closer.

Almost feels like
we're about to kiss.

I'm inside you, Kensi.

You'll never get me out
of your head now.

Just... show me.

Scroll down.

More south.

Right there.
That area, right there.

There's a ravine.

At the bottom of the ravine
is a cave.

He's inside.

Goodbye.

Till next time, my love.

(lock buzzes)

KENSI:
Sam, you guys
still in the field?

Making our way back.

I have a location

for Sinclair. I'm sending you
the coordinates now.

Copy that.

There it is.

If we wait for the FBI,

we'll lose the light.

Then let's go now.

Randall Sinclair,

we're federal agents!

Come out with your hands
above your head!

(rapid gunfire)

I can go around back,

get a flash-bang in there.

Do it.

(grunts)

In position.

I'll give you three bursts
of cover fire,

then bang him out of there.

Ready.

Three, two,

one.

(Sinclair yelps)

(coughing)

Hands where I can see 'em!

Stay on the ground!

(groans)

Agent Rudolph,

Randall Sinclair is in custody.

I say again, Randall
Sinclair is in custody.

Congrats.

Good work, Agent Rountree.

Well, have a great day.

I'll miss you desperately.

Yeah, this whole no working
together thing sucks.

I'll see you later, okay?

(phones vibrating)

Fatima.

For both of us?

Take it.

KENSI:
Hey. Deeks and I are both here.

Hang on.
I'm-I'm getting Callen.

That's not good.

I'm on.

I just got word
that eight hours ago,

David Kessler was released
from the federal prison system

by a presidential
executive order

for undisclosed
national security issues.

Okay, this doesn't
make any sense.

Guys, he promised
to kill Kensi if he got out.

CALLEN:
Kens, Deeks,

get to a secure location now.

Gun it.

CALLEN:
Fatima,

get LAPD
to Michelle Boucher's house now.

On it.

Agent Callen.

How's she doing?

I'm not sure.
Place is empty.

Neighbors said she took
off around 2:00 a.m.

with a bunch of luggage.

We just put a BOLO
out for the car.

I'm gonna take a look inside.

All right.

Copy that.

SAM (on comms):
G, is Boucher okay?

I don't know.

Neighbors saw her leave
in the middle of the night.

Maybe Kessler called and said
he was getting released,

she got scared and ran.

There's no sign
that she left in a hurry.

Callen, is she gone?

Yeah.

She wasn't scared of him.

What are you saying?

I'm looking at a photo
of Kessler and Michelle.

They're in love.

It was in the drawer
of her dresser.

No, she wouldn't keep that.

She would
if they were working together.

Are you telling me
that she left to be with him?

This was all a plan.

He didn't escape with Sinclair
because he didn't want to.

He got caught on purpose.

CALLEN:
He wanted to leverage Sinclair,

a known assassin,
to get himself out of prison.

She wasn't a victim.

She was his partner.

He was having trouble

getting in touch
with the president

to threaten
that he had something on him.

We just gave him a direct line
to the White House.

SAM:
Worse.

We helped him get out of prison.

DEEKS:
Yeah.

And now he's coming after Kensi.
