NELL:
Oh, my God, is that
Joelle's finger?

[gunshot][cries out]

The leg couldn't be
salvaged below the knee.

She lost her leg?

I'm inside you, Kensi.

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

[exhales]

Kens.

Yeah?

You want to talk about this
before we go inside?

What is there to talk about?

It sucks, that's it.
There's nothing to say.

It is what it is,
it just sucks.

I-I have another test in here,
so I can, I can try again later.

Kens... we're gonna
get pregnant.

You realize that after today
it is full-blown IVF?

That's egg retrieval.
That's more shots.

That's more money, which,
by the way, we don't have.

I was in the office.
I understand.

So we get one shot
at this, Deeks,

and if we're lucky, it works.

If we're not lucky...

we have to sell our house
to get a second chance.

I know.

I am so sick of being hopeful

and crashing every time.

I woke up this morning
and I said,

"Today's the day
to take the test.

"I'm gonna say a little prayer,

"I'm gonna...

It's gonna be--
It's gonna be our day."

I know. I thought
the same thing.

And then nothing.

But it's okay that it's not.

[footsteps approaching]

Hey.

Hey. Hey.

Sorry, just when you have
a minute,

I gotta show you something.

Sure. We'll be right in.

[sighs]

It's okay that today
is not our day.

Shall we?Yeah.

But I love you.

Love you, too.

What do we have?

There's something else
I gotta show you,

but a case just came in.CALLEN: What do you got?

This is Lieutenant Commander
Susan Sorensen

from the Office of
Naval Intelligence.

Whoa. Did ONI send this to us?

They did. She was found
dead this morning at 7:34

by the hotel maid.

Anything from the hotel
security cameras?

Mm-mm.

Looks like someone
got into the system,

erased all the drives.

This was a professional job.

What's the Office of
Naval Intelligence say?

Sorensen's branch director at
ONI, Captain Chris Behr called,

wanting to speak to us.

He's on his way up
from San Diego right now.

Kensi and Deeks,
meet us at the crime scene.Got it.

But before you do that, there's
something you need to see.

This came into NCIS headquarters
at Quantico this morning.

KENSI:Kessler.

CALLEN: That's definitely
the Santa Monica Pier.

"Dear Agent Blye,
wish you were here.

"Oh, right, you are.

"Hope there are no
hard feelings.

Life can be too short.
David."

SAM:
The good news is

he doesn't know where you work
or he would have sent it here.

Okay, let's do a forensic
analysis of this photo

to see if it was a composite.

We don't even know
if he's here in L.A.

SAM:
If it is real,
let's analyze it for anything

that can tell us the exact time
and date it was taken.

If we can get that,

then check the
security cameras.

DEEKS:
Hopefully use that
to track him down.

Well, hold on, the trouble is
he was pardoned

by our former president.

So far, he's a free man
that has done nothing wrong.

Come on. "Life is too short"?
That's an obvious threat

to a federal officer.It's a veiled threat, Deeks.

We'll never get a conviction
off of it and you know it.

Let's just find him
before he finds Kensi.

Rountree's on his way.
I'll fill him in.

CALLEN:
We'll hit the crime scene,

you meet us there
with Rountree.

Kensi, Deeks, we're gonna
keep you close to home.

You up for this?

Of course I am.

All right.

You guys talk to Captain Behr
when he gets there.

Copy that.

Watch your six.

SAM:
NCIS.

One moment.

SAM:
Something's up.

These are not LAPD,
and they're not FBI.

They'd be wearing their jackets.

They're also not so willing
to identify themselves.

[speaking quietly]

Only Agents Callen and Hanna.

Wait here.

You didn't mention
what agency you're with.

No, I didn't.

This way, please.

[indistinct radio chatter]

Where's the body?It's been removed.

By who?

By me.

Joelle.

SAM:
The CIA

has an interest in this?Very much so.

With the approval of SECNAV

and the Director of
Central Intelligence,

I'll be a liaison,
coordinating and overseeing

NCIS's investigation.

So you're in charge?

Think of it as a partnership

where I have oversight
of everything.

You're back to work already.

Why not?

I don't know, I thought maybe
you'd take some more time.

Lieutenant Commander
Susan Sorensen.

An outstanding intelligence
officer by all accounts.

Any chance this was personal?

No. Not with how the
security cameras were hacked.

The put the drives into
continuous overwrite

and then locked everybody out.

Some of the hotel staff
did say she was seen

with a man last night.

We have any idea who he is?

That is the million-
dollar question.

Here's how we found her.

What's the CIA doing here?

We have concerns.

You care to elaborate?

I'm waiting for confirmation
on something.

Confirmation of what?Look, the CIA collects,

controls, contorts

and analyzes information.

NCIS investigates.

I requested your team
specifically.

I really need
your help on this.

All right.

Our team's gonna need access
to the hotel staff.

Of course.

Let the other NCIS agents in.

And let them speak
to the witnesses.

Yes, ma'am.

[sighs]

One of the advantages of
having your leg cut off.

Everyone starts talking to you

like you're
the queen of England.

SAM:
Was she gagged?

JOELLE:
She must've been.

And check out the photo
of her fingers.

Looks like they were burnt
with a lighter or a blowtorch.

She was tortured.

Possibly for information.

Any idea
what she was working on?

That is a question for her
branch director, Officer Behr.

He's on his way to us now.Take a look around.

Find me something.

I want the guy that did this.

It's not the greatest day
for Kessler to show back up.

Is there ever a good day
for Kessler to reappear?

That's a good point.

Does he scare you?

No.

Really?

KENSI:
I've seen worse.

Yeah, but he's
incredibly intelligent.

So am I.

And highly disturbed.And I'm very, very skilled.

Well, he scares me.

I mean, granted, I'm a guy
wearing a pink sweatshirt

who cries every time
he watches E.T.What's your point, Deeks?

You yelled out his name
a couple weeks ago

while you were sleeping.

Okay.

I've been dreaming of him.

Well... he did what he said
he was gonna do then.

He's in your head.

I don't know if this,
this is the day

to have this conversation.

Well, you started it,

so...I did.

So I'm gonna approach
this conversation

as two people that are
very much in love

just having a conversation.

Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.And I'm thinking
about you with Kessler,

all this pregnancy stuff--

the logistics,
the physicalities, the emotion,

and I think
that you should consider...

I think you should
consider seeing somebody.

[scoffs]

I don't need a therapist, Deeks.

I don't.

I don't need to see someone.

We all know how strong you are.

And we know that I,
that I can see

you just white-knuckling this.

Right? That you're trying
to handle the whole thing

by yourself, but I need
you to know something.

I'm not with you
because you're strong,

I'm with you
because you're you.

In sickness or in health,
in strength or in weakness.

Deeks, I'm not weak,
I'm not sick.

I'm not any of those things.I'm not saying--
I'm not...

So, Deeks...saying that you're sick or...

NELL:
Hey,

uh, Captain Behr
is about 15 minutes out.

Cool. Thank you.

Let me know if he has anything.

Yep.Will do.

Great.

This is too much
for one person to carry.

And if you don't want to
talk to me about that,

that's totally fine.

But I think you need
to talk to somebody.

This is them.

Mr. Tatsuno.Yes?

Special Agent
Fatima Namazi.Special Agent Rountree.

We understand
that you served drinks

to this woman?

Yeah. Uh, last night.

Was she with anybody?

She was with a man.

Uh, like I told
the other officers,

he might have been Hispanic,

uh, beard, mid-40s.

Did you get a name
or a credit card?

No, I d-- I didn't serve him.

Uh, they were sitting
at the couch by the fire.

I was working the bar.

It was weird. She kept
coming up to the bar to order

and bringing it back
to the table to him.

And that's weird because...?

Well, I mean, it's usually
the guy that buys the drinks

and then brings it back.

She paid, as well.

Well, would you recognize him
if you saw him again?

Yeah. No, absolutely.

I remember his face.

All right, well,
would you be willing to work

with a sketch artist?

Uh, of course. Um, yeah,
I'm free the rest of the day.

Sometimes you get lucky.

[laughs softly]
All right, we'll set it up.

SAM:
On the chair,

the sleeve on her
blouse is unbuttoned.

In this one, it's buttoned.

My people must have done that.

Sorry.

Your people have the body?

[sighs]

Yes. Until we know
what's going on here,

no aspect of this
is out of our control.

Clearly.

[sighs]
Okay.

I've got confirmation.
Take a look.

John Bradbury. He was a friend
of mine and a colleague.

A CIA officer.

Yeah. He was murdered
about six months ago.

I wasn't involved in
what he was working on,

and the details were
never made available.

But I heard some things,
so I asked for his file,

and this is what they sent.

Bound and zip-tied.

Check out this photo
of his fingers.

Looks like they were burnt
with a lighter or blowtorch.

Same as Sorensen.

Someone is torturing
intelligence officers.

And slitting their throats.

And that's why I'm here.

TATSUNO:
The eyes are round like that.

Right.

You seeing the feed
from the tablet?

FATIMA:
I got it.

Okay.

So, Callen says Lieutenant
Commander Sorensen's murder

has the same M.O. as a CIA
officer named John Bradbury.

How good do you have to be to
kill highly trained operatives?

I'd say...

scary good.

Hey.

Thank you.

So, y-you believe
she was tortured?

It appears that way, yeah.

KENSI:
Is there
any intelligence

that you know of that would make
Lieutenant Commander Sorensen

a target of something like this?

I would need to look over
all the reports

she authored
and the projects

that she was
actively involved with.

So, she had access to highly
classified information at ONI?

Yes, she reviewed hundreds
of investigations and reports.

Her expertise was cyberattacks
and countermeasures.

There's not only
the work she did at ONI,

but also projects
she participated in

as a member of other
interagency task forces.

And I'm not privy
to a lot of that information.

SAM:
Fatima. See if you can find out

what task force Sorensen
might have been involved in.

That is all gonna be
highly classified

and not easily discoverable.

There might be another way.

What are you thinking?

We check the service records
of Sorensen and Bradbury,

see if there's any correlation

in their assignments
or movement.

NELL:
Yeah, that's smart.

We'll look into that.

Was the lieutenant commander
married?

She wasn't.

She ever talk about
seeing anybody?

She did say
there was somebody

that she'd met at a conference

in Washington
about three months ago.

She said she thought
he might have been CIA.

KENSI:
She thought

he was CIA or-or he was CIA?

He presented as a Defense
Intelligence Agency analyst,

but Lieutenant Commander
Sorensen's Spidey-senses

were telling her
something different.

That he was a CIA officer?

Something like that.

She joked that she didn't even
think he gave her his real name.

Did she give you a name at all?No.

Well, if she did,
I don't remember it.

Sam?

Callen?We're here.

Officer Taylor
is onto something.

Lieutenant Commander Sorensen
and CIA Officer Bradbury

were out of the country on the
exact same date two years ago.

And they flew
a commercial airline

on the same flight.

What was their destination?

Well, we were able
to trace them together

as far as Odessa, Ukraine,

and they returned
on a military flight

originating out of
a NATO base

in Poland.

Most likely went
into Ukraine undercover.

Probably so they could
get into Russia covertly.

Then when their mission
was finished,

they escaped into Poland.

We're gonna need the names
of anybody else

associated with that task force.

SAM:
It'd also be nice to know

what the operation was.

I'll talk to Langley,

see if they're willing
to give me that information.

Why wouldn'tthey be?

Sorensen was murdered,
Bradbury's one of their own.

Dirty deeds.

There are some things,

even given the assassination
of an officer,

that the CIA never wants
the world to know about.

NELL:
It's just so,

so sad.

If Hetty were here, she'd have
access to this information.

Whoa.

Little big. [gasps]
Cheese and crackers.

The whining in this office
is insufferable.

You would think,
with all the colonics

and the meditation,
you'd be a little better

at facing adversity.

You meditate, sir?

Do you think I meditate,
Ms. Jones?

I think you might
meditate to relax or...

I do not meditate.

I drink alcohol to relax,
like normal people.

Noted.

It's just,
Hetty was always helpful

in these situations.

Mary Poppins is helpful.

She is also not here.

I am.

What would you like us
to do, Admiral?

Just pick up the damn phone
and talk to me.

I have already started inquiries

about Sorensen and Bradbury's
task force.

Hetty's not the only one
with connections.

Noted.

And whatever you do,
don't text me.

Talk, use your mouth

the way humans have done
with each other for eons.

Well, at least he listens in on
our conversations like Hetty.

You bet your ass I do.

And if anybody sends me
an emoji, they will be boiled.

JOELLE:
I'll bring Langley

up to speed, see if they'll
give me any information.

I'm gonna stay,
see if Kensi and Deeks

get anything else
out of Captain Behr.

All right.

I'll head back,
look at the threat assessments

coming out of Russia
and Ukraine,

see if I can figure out

what the task force
mission was.

[door opens, closes]

Haven't answered my calls
in over a month.

That was intentional.

Why?

Don't want Anna
to become jealous.

[chuckles]

Anna's the one that's been
telling me to check in with you.

She's a good woman.

She is also a complex woman.

Look who's talking.

Point taken.

Hold on to her, Callen.

How did this become
about me and Anna?

Done.

I sent everything about the
case to my section chief.

We'll see what they give us.

I know the Agency didn't ask you
to come back to work so soon.

No.

Like I said,
Bradbury was a friend.

The Agency gave me the go-ahead

and the resources to
initiate this investigation.

Granted, it could have been
out of pity.

Your injury isn't even close
to being healed.

You mean my amputation?

Call it what it is.

You need time to recover.

Emotionally, physically.

Revenge is a strong motivator.

[footsteps approaching]

Uh, Captain Behr
is heading back to San Diego.

KENSI:
Yeah, he'll see
if anyone else has information

on who Lieutenant Commander
Sorensen

may have been seeing.

Hey, guys, Admiral Kilbride
got us two names

that were also
on the task force.

CIA Officers Paul Winters
and Steven Erdnase.

Both are retired, both
are not answering their phones.

We have an address
in Agua Dulce for Winters,

and Erdnase has a house in O.C.

We'll check out Erdnase.Yeah.

Have Sam and Rountree
get Winters.

NELL:
Yep, we're on it.

Paul Winters!

NCIS!

We need to talk
to you immediately!

Engine's not warm.

SAM:
I got blood.

[gun clicks]

Looks like someone
was dragged this way.

I've got a body.

Fatima, we're gonna need
an ambulance

out to Winters' place ASAP.

FATIMA:
On it.

He's cold. No pulse.

His fingers are burnt
like the other two.

And I got a whole bunch of C-4.

[ringing]

Clear!

Was that for us,
or whoever found him?

I don't know.

It was attached to a remote.

They were watching us.

Thank you.

Yeah.

All right, thanks.

LAPD is checking the area

to see if anyone saw
what happened.

Nell's checking traffic
and security cameras.

They're not gonna find anything.

These guys were highly trained,

area's too remote.

So you think it was
more than one guy?

It's a team, for sure.

Sam, you okay?

All good.

How come he never asks
how I'm doing?

He cares about me.Ah, that's cute.

Did you get a look at Winters'
body before the explosion?

Everything matched.

Restrained, burnt fingers.

Only thing different
was the bomb.

Whoever they were,
they saw us coming,

and they waited
till we got close to the body.

I uploaded all the information
about the investigation

back to Langley.

A lot of people knew
we were coming here.

ROUNTREE:
Sorensen said the guy

she was dating
could have been CIA.

You ready to stop
sharing information

about our investigation?

Yeah. Could have been me.

And I wouldn't have gotten away
so fast with this cane.

FATIMA:
Callen, Sam.We're here.

Dylan Tatsuno and
the sketch artist are finished.

Sending it to your phones.

They finished the sketch
of the suspect.

Tatsuno seems pretty
confident it looks like the man

he saw in the bar last night.

Sorensen said the guy presented

as a Defense Intelligence
analyst.

That means there's an I.D. photo
of him at DIA.

SAM:
All right, let's start
running the sketch

against all male
Defense Intelligence officers.

NELL:
We're on it.[line rings]

DEEKS:
Y'ello.Hey. You guys there?

Yeah. Erdnase is not here.

We checked inside the house;
car's not here, either.

Stay there until he gets back.

But be careful.
Sam said whoever's behind this

was waiting for them.

Yeah, we heard
Winters' house was "da bomb."

You're doing dad jokes now?

Yeah, your kids
are gonna love you.

Keep checking in with Nell?

Um, yep, no, copy that.

That was a little brutal.

Yeah.

That's why you
don't say anything

until after the
first trimester.

Hang in there.

Fatima. You and Rountree,
see if Erdnase

has any other residences,

hotel bookings, anything.

All right, let's do this.

NELL:
Sam?

I need you up here now.

[sighs]

So I think we have
a match to the sketch.

Defense Intelligence Officer
Michael Olmos.

He works out of the DIA
headquarters in Washington.

That's a good match.

We need to find him fast.

Run him through facial
rec, see if he came

through any of the
Los Angeles airports.

Yep, I'm on it.

You're missing
the connective tissue.

Four officers
from one task force

have been hunted down
one by one.

Why?

It might go back
to the task force's operation

in Ukraine or Russia.

CALLEN:
Olmos could be

a deep-cover Russian agent

who's killing U.S. operatives

who were running
a covert mission

in his country?

Good a place as any to start.

We need to find out
what that op was.

I'm still trying to get
the after action report

on the task force
without letting

the entire agency know
what I'm looking at.

And find Erdnase, fast.

If we don't, I can't imagine
he'll be alive much longer.

What are you doing?

I don't need all
my conversations to be public.

I-- The only link I can find now

is that CIA Officer
John Bradbury

and Lieutenant Commander
Susan Sorensen

were both experts
in cybersecurity.

You shouldn't be back at work
if you need to take

that much pain medication.

Have I handled myself
inappropriately?

No.Am I aiding
in this investigation?

That's not the point.

This is about your health.

My health is my business.
So please stay out of it.

I don't want to.

I care about you.

I always have.

Why?

Is it so hard for you
to believe

that someone could feel
that way about you?

I know who I am, Callen.

So do I.

A friend I trust
at the Agency

just sent
the after action report.

The task force
was sent to the Ukraine

to then covertly
cross into Russia.

We got that part right.

They were targeting
Aleksei Zhirkov.

Zhirkov was a principal at SVR
in charge of cyberattacks

against both U.S. military

and civilian
infrastructure.I remember this.

Aleksei Zhirkov
turned up dead in Poland.

Some people thought that
he wanted to defect.

Mm, something
must have gone wrong.

Hey, Nell?

Send me anything we have

on SVR Agent Aleksei Zhirkov's
death.

Yep, I'm on it.

SAM:
Look at his fingers.

They're burnt.

Aleksei Zhirkov was tortured
the same way

Sorensen, Bradbury
and Winters were.

CALLEN:
And his throat was cut.

He wasn't trying to defect.

SAM:
This was a forced rendition.

They grabbed Aleksei Zhirkov
and took him

to a black site in Poland.

Wow. And then the officers
tortured and killed him.

You have no proof of that.

We don't even know
if he was in their custody.

Well, take a look at this, then.

Aleksei Zhirkov
is the illegitimate son

of Yuri Kirilenko.

JOELLE:
Yuri Kirilenko
is second-in-command at SVR,

the Russian intelligence agency.

According to CIA records,

Kirilenko had Aleksei
with a mistress.

And if the task force
did kill Aleksei Zhirkov...

Yuri Kirilenko would have used
every resource available to SVR

to track down the
agents responsible.

Aleksei was his son, his blood.

This is Kirilenko's revenge
for his son's murder.

And Kirilenko is using
DIA Officer Olmos,

a Russian agent, to kill the
four members of the task force.

And do it in the exact same way
his son was killed.

Burning his fingers, torturing
them, cutting their throats.

What comes around goes around.

That's another good reason
not to use torture.

You don't prompt your enemies
to do the same to you.

ROUNTREE:
Sam?

Hey, we may have
found something.

You want to come take a look?Coming to you.

What'd you find?

So, Erdnase has an LLC

that he used to buy a large
piece of land in Palm Desert.

We didn't find a home
built on there,

but he does have
a mobile home on it.

I'll call local PD,
tell them to get out

to the property
and see if he's there.

All right, if he is there,
arrange a helo.

Callen and I will go
pick him up.

Missing an opportunity.

You're right.

Don't pick him up.
Use him as bait.

Exactly.

I want Olmos,

but it's got to be
controlled, safe.

We are not losing
the last CIA officer.

All right, Rountree, with me.

Have Kensi and Deeks meet us.

We're gonna need
some support agents.

Two helicopters will be fueled
and ready in 30.

We'll pick up Callen and Joelle.

Sam, Deeks,
react team in position?

We're about a mile out.
We can be there within a minute.

Kens, you set up?

Good to go.

Okay, don't blink.
These guys are pros,

and they could be
coming from anywhere.

Rountree, you good?

I'm in position.

Now we wait.

So what happened
with Aleksei Zhirkov?

Why'd your task force team
kill him?

That's a need-to-know
piece of intelligence.

We almost lost two team members
working on this case, so...

And right now, we're the only
thing standing between you

and a Russian operative
hell-bent

on slitting your throat.

So I think we need to
know what this is about.

You wouldn't believe me
if I told you.

We're pretty open-minded.
Why don't you take a shot?

Okay.

Aleksei Zhirkov isn't dead.

We saw the case photos,
we read the police report.

Aleksei lived his whole life
under the thumb of his father,

Yuri Kirilenko.

Aleksei wanted
a clean way to defect.

Our mission was to get him out
so his father

could never track him down.

His death was faked.

You worked for the company,
Agent Callen.

You know what we're capable of.

The CIA creates its own reality.

Well, then,
your reality

just backfired on you
and got three officers killed.

Callen, I'm seeing

three what look like SUVs

moving quickly to your position.

FATIMA:
They're about 30 seconds out.

Looks like Olmos is coming in
with two other cars.

DEEKS:
Three SUVs,

that could be 12 guys.

You want us to move?

CALLEN:
No, hold. Let them get close.

I don't want to spook him.

They stopped.

He's out. Move in.

Agent Callen.

How does he know who I am?

OLMOS:
Agent Callen,
I'm CIA Officer

Michael Olmos.

CIA?

Check it, fast.

Finding out now.

This is CIA Officer Chris Behr.

You also knew him
as ONI Captain Behr.

She said she thought
he might have been CIA.

She give you a name at all?

Well, if she did,
I don't remember it.

OLMOS:
Just step outside,

and we'll explain everything.

What the hell is going on?

Kens, you got him?

I got Olmos.

I got Behr.

Right there! Hold it!

Out of the vehicle!OLMOS:
Let's take it easy.

Don't move!Just hear me out.

JOELLE:Yeah, I need to speak to
Intelligence Director Northrop.

This is an emergency.

AGENT: Check 'em,
check 'em. Whoa.

Put the gun down.
We're all on the same side.

AGENT: Back up, back up.
Where I can see you.

♪

Just tell your men
to lower their weapons.

Callen, what the hell
is going on?

Hold your fire.

I understand you need proof.

Watch.

I'm CIA Officer Dylan Tatsuno.

They were sitting at the couch
by the fire.

I was working the bar.

Would you recognize him
if you saw him again?Yeah.

I remember his face.

Keep watching.

Let's go upstairs.

BEHR:
This is Lieutenant Commander

Susan Sorensen, CIA
Officer John Bradbury...

JOELLE:
He was murdered
about six months ago.

BEHR:...CIA Officer
Paul Winters.

I've got a body.

All very much alive and well.

Aren't they supposed
to be dead?

What is happening?

ERDNASE:
Special Agent Callen,

you are
through the looking glass

and down the rabbit hole.

Tell your men
to lower their weapons.

I spoke to the director.

They're telling the truth.

Stand down.
Lower your weapons.

Can we speak privately?

I've been selling intelligence
to SVR for nearly two years

to establish myself
as a double agent.

After we ran our operation
to get Aleksei Zhirkov

to defect to the United States
by faking his murder,

we found out Yuri Kirilenko,
Aleksei's father,

put out a bounty
on the heads

of the officers responsible
for his son's death.

OLMOS:
It was a prime opportunity

we couldn't pass up.

By faking
the four officers' deaths...

And having NCIS, a legitimate
U.S. law enforcement agency,

investigate those deaths...

OLMOS:
It would secure
my position inside

Russian intelligence.

I'd become a trusted confidant
to Yuri Kirilenko

for the killing and torturing of
the people who murdered his son.

So we were used?

We're foot soldiers, Callen.
We're all used.

You know about this?

No.

SAM:
But we saw

the dead bodies.BEHR:You did.

And in a way, you didn't.

We used Jane and John Does
that matched our officers,

culled from the morgues
all over the country.

Great. Thanks.

Let's bring in our Jane.

These are the bodies
that will be found.

As soon as local police are
called, we step in, take over.

There's never a comparison,
so the bodies only have

to roughly match our officers.

Weight, hair color and clothing
are all that's needed.

Everything wiped,
even the backups.

Almost finished. Just taking
care of these last two cameras.

SAM:
That's why

the sleeves didn't match up.

The sleeve
on her blouse is unbuttoned.

This one, it's buttoned.

JOELLE:
My people must have done that.

Sorry.

BEHR:
Because your team

was going to find Winters' body,
he had to be blown up.

Otherwise, you'd have seen
it wasn't really Winters.

SAM:
So you weren't trying
to blow us up.

That's really thoughtful.

Appreciate it.

We don't blow up federal agents.

Once you saw the body,
we just needed

to get you the hell
out of there.

They're far enough away.

Blow it.

SAM:
Hmm.

And the "dead officers"
go into hiding.

Until Olmos's op as
a Russian agent is terminated.

JOELLE:
So having us

do all this was just to make it
look real to the Russians?

Yes.

You could have told us.It was all on
a need-to-know

basis.

And you didn't need to know.

It made it
all that much more authentic,

though, don't you think?

[camera clicking]

So now we make our story.

Local PD receives
an anonymous call

and arrives here
to report finding the body

of retired CIA Officer
Steven Erdnase.

Killed with
the same M.O.

as the other members
of his task force.

All right, Steve, that's good.
We got it. Thanks.

All right.

Told you.

Through the looking glass.

BEHR:This is the body
you found

when you sadly arrived too late
to save CIA Officer Erdnase.

You take over the case.

Officer Taylor will
remove this body

for reasons
of national security,

blah, blah, blah.

The photos we took of the real
Officer Erdnase will be leaked,

eventually making their way back

to Kirilenko in Moscow
as proof of death.

OLMOS:
And I become

a trusted hero in the eyes
of Russian intelligence.

I've seen enough.

Let's get out of here.

Trust you'll fill out
your report appropriately.

Or we could do it
for you, if you like.

Hey.

One line. Negative.

That's okay.

That's okay.

Hey, wanted to catch you
before you left.

Uh, that photo of Kessler
wasn't a composite.

He was here in L.A.

And there's nothing
in that photo

that tells us
when it was taken.

I'm really sorry.

It's okay.

Have a good night.

You, too,
and drive safe.

What can I do?

You want to know what I need?

Yes. Always.

I think I need time.

Okay. Time. Great. What does,
what does, what does...?

What does that mean?We need to put a pause

on trying to have this baby.

Okay.

I don't want you
to be disappointed in me.

And I'm sorry.Baby,

I don't think I've ever been
disappointed in you

in my whole, entire life.

Um...

It's just with Kessler
still being out there, you know,

and, um, I feel like I'm
constantly under attack.

Listen, these are
horrible circumstances

to try to get pregnant.

It's too much.Too much.

So we take time.

And I say time--
as much time as you need.Yeah.

But... [laughs]

I do need you to know
that I'm not quitting.

Okay? I am not quitting.No. Of course. I know that.

There's something I've
been thinking about.

There's a lot of kids out there
with no parents.

Yeah, there are.

And I'm not saying that
we have to adopt, you know.

I'm just saying it's
something that we...

I have thought of.

Why are you smiling?It's just

that great moment
when I realize this is just one

of the many reasons
that I love you.

Why?

I mean, you're getting
attacked from all sides,

you're trying
to punch your way out,

and in the midst of all that,

you're thinking
about helping some kid?

Thank you for being you.

Could we go home now?

That would be so amazing
to go home with you.

Come on.

Oh.You know what we should do
instead of going home?

Come here.What?

I think we've earned
ourselves a margarita.

Ooh.Like, multiple margaritas.

[Kensi laughs]

Joelle?

Wait up.

It's late, Callen.
[sighs]

You know I was
a CIA officer.

What's your point?

I made some calls.

You played us.

You knew everything.

[sighs]

It was an opportunity
to place an operative

within the highest levels
of Russian intelligence.

What's more important
than that?

Nothing.

So this was all about revenge,
getting back at... Katya,

or SVR, whoever did this to you.

I know you're hurting.

I understand,

but living obsessed
like this is not good.

No, you don't understand.

I've lost my husband
and my child.

My body has been
permanently mutilated.

All I have left is
my taste for blood.
