All language subtitles for NCIS S20E21 Kompromat_Track04

The hard drive is a backup
of my personal photo library.

There's something about
these photos that's important.

BILLINGS: Bring the hard drive
to Rock Creek Park.

I'm the man asking
for that hard drive

one last time. NCIS.

Who do you work for?
KASIE: I finished processing

Senator Miller's
photo libraries,

and I might have found

a connection to the Russians.

That's Delilah's
former T.A.

Evelyn Shaw,
and the other two are

Renée and John Watts.
We've recently arrested

all three of these people for
being Russian sleeper spies.

They were active volunteers
on Senator Miller's

last reelection campaign.

Four Russian spies?

All with an interest
in the same U.S. senator?

Doesn't sound
like a coincidence.

Sounds like we need
to keep digging.

GUS: Glad you're here
for this, Susan.

'Cause the one thing
that we can't ever take lightly

is moisture alerts.

It's Gwen, actually.

Granted, the sensors under
these floors are pretty old,

so sometimes there's a delay,
or it might not go off at all.

So when they warn
of increased humidity

and liquid contamination,
it's up to us

to check it out.
No spills allowed, got it.

This is no mere library,
after all,

but home of top
secret documents

and files dating back
hundreds of years.

And these files have
two enemies.

Fire and water.
What about spies?

And spies.

Fire, water, spies.
Make that three.

Which is why only folks
who have top-level

security clearance
can get into this wing.

We're talking federal agents,

your legislative
committee members.

And us janitors.

We're not janitors, Gwen, we...

are the Custodians of Classified

History.
Cool.

(Torres speaking Spanish)

Okay, okay, okay.

Te quiero. Okay, chao chao.

Oh, your mom
again, huh?

Yeah, she...
What, what do you mean "again"?

Oh, nothing. Just, you know,

seems like you've been calling
her from work a lot lately.

No, I haven't.

Yeah, you have.

Almost every day this week.

Okay, what if I have?

Well, nothing, it's
just, you know...

PARKER:
So, check out these babies.

A baker's dozen

courtesy of the Cannoli King
of Mulberry Street.

Help yourself.

Ooh, who doesn't love a cannoli?

And what son
doesn't call his mother?

Shouldn't we all be calling
our parents more often?

Depends on the parents.

Yeah, I hope
you don't mind me asking.

Oh...
Just, you know,
checking on you, Nick.

It's fine.

Yeah, we just want to
make sure you're okay.

Have a cannoli.
Make you feel better.

I feel fine.

Although I did skip lunch.

Mmm!

Hangry.

I'm a little hangry, yes.

See, my timing's perfect.

Yes, and, uh, cannolis
are like my kryptonite.

Mm, from the Cannoli King,
no less.

Yeah, King's
an old friend of mine

in town on business.

We're gonna grab dinner tonight.

Barring, uh,

any late-night cases
falling our way.

Déjà vu, anyone?

Seriously.

What?

What? We had almost

this exact same conversation
over pastries two months ago.

Oh, come on, this again?

We're gonna go back to believing
in jinxes, just like that?

Well, just like that,
you tempted fate,

and a late-night case fell
in our lap

when we were having
a really quiet day.

Yeah, well, maybe this time
I'm tempting fate once again

just to prove that
jinxes do not...

(phones chiming)

...do not exist.

Body at the National Archives.
Mm-hmm.

Well, in this case...

I guess I would have to say,

"Take the guns
and leave the, uh..."

No. No Godfather quotes.

But we are taking the cannolis.

(humming)

McGEE: Okay, our victim is
Navy Reserve Lieutenant

and National Archives
security guard

Louis Dacey,
42 years old.

Yeah, his fellow employees
wondered why he didn't

punch out last night
or show up to work today.

He lives alone,
so no one reported him missing.

Victim has a deep stab
wound under his armpit.

Too soon for time of death?

Well, I'll need
to take him back to autopsy

in order to get
an exact time,

but based on rigor mortis,
I'd say it's

definitely yesterday.

All right, we'll need
security cam footage

and their, uh, visitor logs.

Already being sent over.

Looks like our killer
was doing some research

on Russia
before the victim showed up.

All right, we have clearance
to handle these files.

Let's get a complete
inventory of what's

here to see, what
might be missing.

Yeesh. That's gonna
take a while.

Well, in that case
I'd better cancel dinner.

What, with the Cannoli King?
No way, no way.

Yes way.

Duty calls.
What about us?

We're not off-duty.
Yeah, seriously.

It's not like we haven't
gathered evidence

or transported a dead body
a thousand times before.

And you're always
reminding us to have

a life outside of the job,
so, um,

the same applies to you.

You sure?

Absolutely.
Say hi to the King.

We'll call you
with any updates.

And bring us back
more cannoli.

(Knight groans)

Really hope Parker forgets
the last thing I said to him.

Yeah, me, too.
I'm a little cannoli'd out.

Are you too cannoli'd out
to, uh,

help me go
through these files?

As soon as I upload
this Archives database.

Can't know
what files are missing

till we know what was there
to begin with.

I just got their visitor log.

42 people entered by way

of their retinal scanner yesterday.

Well, that'll help us
narrow down our suspect.

Now we just need
time of death.

That sounds like my cue.

Hey, you finished
the autopsy already?

Yeah, well, the stab wound made

a cause of death rather obvious.

Victoria's waiting
on me to help her

with a school project,
the old potato battery trick.

She actually came up
with a new take

on an old classic.
You know, so what she did was...

Jimmy?
Yeah?

Time of death?
Right.

Uh, coagulation
within our victim's wound

suggests the fatal thrust
was delivered

roughly 30 hours ago.

So about 6:30 last night?

Yeah, give or take an hour.

All right, now we'll cross-check

that time against visitor logs.

On it.
And I am out.

Night, Jimmy.

Night, Jess. I love you.

And I love you, Nick.

And I love you, Tim.

Heck, I love all of you.

Have a great night, everyone.

According
to last night's visitor log,

the only person
to enter

that wing of
the Archives

was Senator Constance Miller

at 6:19 p.m.

Can we just back up
a second here?

For what?
McGEE: Wait, hold on.

Uh, Nick, I would also like
to back this up, but first,

Senator Miller? Wait.

She was the one who was targeted

by the Russian spy
about two months ago.

Yes, the case with
the knockout gas.

Eh, Parker's gonna want
to hear about this.

Yeah, McGee, everything okay?

Yeah, sorry to interrupt
your dinner, but, um...

you remember Senator Miller?
She had the safe

that the Russians
were trying to break into.

Yeah, I remember. Uh, why?

Well, visitor logs have her
at the Archives

yesterday right around
the same time as the murder.

Really?
Yeah.

So, at the very least,
she could be a witness.

Now we're gonna go pay her
a visit

at her place
if you want to join us.

Well, actually, I would, but...

Oh, but if you're
still eating...

No, no, it's not that.

It's just...

Um... you may not
find her there.

I have no idea how my name
got on their visitor log.

I haven't been
to the Archives in months.

But you have been
there before?

Well, research for committee
meetings is part of the job,

so, yes, I...

(inhales deeply)
I'm sorry.

Am I actually a murder suspect?

No, Senator, we were hoping
you'd be more of a witness.

That said,
to officially clear you,

we-we still need to know
where you were

at the time of the murder.

So, my alibi?

Yeah.

I was with a friend.

Great. And that friend's name

so we can corroborate?

Do you want to take this one?

She's not talking to me.
Or me.

Um...

She was at my place two nights
ago, same as last night.

I knew it.

I had a feeling this whole, uh,

Cannoli King story was
a cover-up

for something much better.

And I had a feeling
when she gave you

her card in my office.

Okay, now that you two are
done airing your feelings,

can we get her
out of there, please?

I got some questions
about all of this.

McGEE:
Kasie just sent this up.

This is the precise moment
the senator's retinal ID

was used to enter
the Top Secret Access Wing

from the Archives lobby.

You got to assume he's wearing
special contact lenses.

Biometric technology
keeps getting better.

Enough to perfectly match
my retina?

It's like he stole
my eyes.

You ever seen him before?

Never, but don't
you guys have

a bad guy database
or something?

Kasie's running
facial recognition now.

And as for how
he stole your eyes,

he'll tell us that when we
catch him, whoever he is.

Nate Billings might know.

That Russian spy
we caught trying

to break into the senator's
safe two months ago.

Rule 39. No coincidences.

First a Russian spy wants
the photos in her safe,

then her retinal ID

is used to steal

classified documents
on Russia.

And kill a security guard.

Okay,
now I'm officially terrified.

(watch chimes)
And late for a committee vote.

Please tell me
you'll get this guy.

Yeah, count on it.
I'll see you out.

I know the way, Alden.

Just catch this creep, okay?
Soon.

Okay, then,
for starters,

where do we find
this Billings guy?

I'm already searching
his records, but, uh,

first, the Cannoli King?

Yeah, is that an actual person

or just a steamy metaphor?

The Cannoli King is very real.

Constance, she's just...

something else.

She's a senator.

Can we please get
back to the case?

Weird, apparently Russia filed

for extradition
after Billings' arrest,

but the State Department
blocked it,

angling for something in return.

Where's Billings being held?

That information is
"need to know."

Well, we need to know.

Won't the State Department
tell us?

One way to find out.
Keep digging.

This is great!
And about time, frankly.

You finally told Knight.

No, more like I blurted out

my love for Jess in front
of the entire squad room.

Yeah, but I still don't see
the problem.

The problem is that Jess and I
have worked really hard

to keep what we have
out of the office.

She's not big on public displays
of affection. Neither am I.

Well, what'd she say?

I assume you called her
afterwards?

Well, I was going to, but...

when I didn't hear from her
right away,

I started wondering.

Wondering?

If I really embarrassed her.

Or worse yet, you know,
what if she doesn't

feel the same?

(laughs):
Oh, dear.

Are we back
in junior high school already?

Oh, I love it.

I know how crazy it sounds,
all right?

But it's just
where my mind goes.

(computer chimes)

Speaking of crazy.

Still no match.

On every local,
global, criminal,

and civilian database we've got.

We are looking at a ghost.

GRECO:
Our State Department database

is the same as yours, gentlemen.

Doubt we'd have any luck trying
to identify your killer.

Well, it's more
the Russian connection

that we're wondering about.

Which is why we'd like
to talk to Nate Billings.

We understand that you

blocked Russia's bid
for his extradition?

Yeah, I-I can confirm that.

Our efforts
to, uh, broker a deal

to get something
in return for Billings

went nowhere.

That was, until this morning.

And what happened
this morning?

At 0600 today,

the Kremlin offered
to release four international

political prisoners in exchange

for these convicted
Russian spies.

John and Renée Watts, currently

on a flight to Moscow
in exchange

for two Canadian prisoners.

Evelyn Shaw, transporting

tomorrow in exchange
for an American prisoner.

And Billings, the one
that you're looking for,

he's scheduled
to transport later today

for a British prisoner.

Stu, if I could interrupt
you just for a second...

I prefer Counselor,
Agent Parker,

or Mr. Greco, if you will.

We State Department lawyers like
to keep things professional.

Yeah, of course, Counselor,
but you are aware

that all four of these spies
were arrested separately

by our team
in the last six months?

Well, then you're doing
a hell of a job.

But given that, on top
of our break-in at the Archives

and now with the timing
of this Russian deal,

how does that
not sound suspicious?

And what is suspicious about
a four-for-four prisoner swap?

With no ulterior motive?

All right, trust me,
gentlemen, we are actively

investigating
every angle of this.

But the international effort
to get our citizens released

from... whatever
Russian gulag they're in

has been going on for years.

That's all well and fine, but...

But ulterior motives or not,

gentlemen, this makes this deal
only one thing to me...

and that's too good to pass up.

(speaking Spanish)

Okay. Chao chao.

Hey, for the record,
that was my sister.

Not my mom.

And she's doing fine.

Good to hear.
Yeah, that's great.

Now, the-the part
I don't understand still

is all the secrecy.

Dude, secrecy? I just said...

No, not you. Cannoli King.

Oh.
They're consenting adults,

so what's with
all the sneaking around?

Well, I don't think
it's sneaking around.

I think it's more
professional discretion.

You know, keeping
one's personal life

completely out of the workplace.

Mm, speaking of which,

you and Jimmy?

What about us?

Oh, are you gonna pretend
it didn't happen?

Uh, and what's that?

That Jimmy didn't
completely throw

professional discretion
out the window last night?

It was pretty epic.

Oh, well, you know,
if I had any idea

what either
of you were talking about...

Oh, would you cut the act?

You know damn well
what I'm talking about.

You just don't want
to acknowledge it in here.

No, Nick, Nick,
"professional discretion."

Okay. Damn, you're good.

I need us all to be good
'cause we have a problem.

Why, what's up?
We may not know

that guy, but you might
recognize these faces.

There's Nate Billings again.

Yeah, those are the fake parents

from that Russian spy girl.
McGEE:
Yeah, and who could forget

Evelyn,
Delilah's T.A.-turned-spy?

All Russian spies
arrested by us,

and now all suddenly headed back

to Russia
in a prisoner exchange.

Right after
our mystery man breaks

into the National Archives?
Exactly.

Given the timing,
they have to be connected.

In ways that I shudder
to think about.

Parker,
could you believe that guy?

Did, uh, Counselor Greco

at least give you
Billings' location?

Far too reluctantly.

He's being transported
on the USS Cortland.

It's about three hours
off our coast.

Can we get on it?
Pulled some strings.

There's a supply chopper
leaving in a half an hour.

It can carry two agents
to the ship before

Billings gets delivered
to the Russians.

I'm in.
Me, too.

Good.

So the State Department
really doesn't see a threat?

Their attorney seems a bit
too distracted with his...

"too good to pass up" deal
to see much of anything.

So if the Russians are
planning something big...

It'll be up to us alone
to stop it.

I understand
not talking about it

in the squad room, but we
are on international waters.

And still
technically at work.

Come on, Knight, just tell me.

(laughs)
Okay, I'll make a deal.

You stop asking me
about whatever Jimmy said.

Oh, you know what he said.

And I won't ask
why you got touchy

about your mom the other day.

I didn't get touchy.

Then I guess
we're done talking.

Got to make it fast, Agents.

Chopper heads back
in ten minutes.

It's the Dream Team.

I was hoping I'd see
you two again before I go.

We don't have a
lot of time, Nate.

If that's
your actual real name.

Look, NCIS might

be responsible for
landing me in prison,

but at least
I'm finally headed home.

So here's one last chance

for you to tell us why
you targeted the senator.

Now, that's adorable.

And while I hardly expect
a hero's welcome since

I obviously fell short
of my objective,

I do know
my country will reward me

for not betraying my mission.

Should we even bother?

I mean, give it a try.

Try what?

What else have you got?

We have got a mystery man

who broke
into the National Archives

two days ago.

Killed a guard,
stole some files.

Any idea who he is?

No.

I... I don't know.

You don't know?

Or you don't know

how he got
the senator's retinal scan?

I've never seen him.

You know what would be
adorable, too?

If we believed you.

Where did you get that picture?
KNIGHT:
Oh, I just told you.

He broke into the Archives,
and his name is...?

Yuri.

It's just Yuri.

He was my handler.

I guess he had to take matters

into his own hands
after I failed.

Failed what?

Getting the senator's
hard drive.

Why did you want it?

What was Yuri looking for
in the Archives?

I don't know. I'm a chess piece.

I do my job,
I don't ask questions.

We just wasted three hours
on a helicopter ride for this.

I will tell you anything else.

My real name?

You really want to know?

So now you want to talk?

If Yuri is involved now
in the field,

doing his own dirty work...

...I'm much better off here.

That's up
to the State Department.

Well, then you talk to them.

(beeping)
(knocking)

Wheels up in two.

Or let me talk to them, please?

Yeah, we'll,
we'll do what we can.

Please. I'd really rather stay.

Yeah, we hear you, man.
Hang in there.

No, I mean it.
It won't go well for me there.

I know it won't!

(door closes)

You know,
when Piper and I split,

she said we were living proof
of the old saying

"never go to the bathroom
where you eat."

That's the PG version, obviously.

Well, Jess and I are not
splitting up,

at least I hope not.

You guys still
haven't talked yet?

Haven't been able
to reach her.

Probably because

she's still on a chopper
over the Atlantic.

But if you want an opinion

on workplace romance,
call my ex-wife.

How about the senator?
How about an update?

Well played.
JIMMY:
First of all,

uh, we're pretty sure
the killer most likely...

Yuri.
We now know his name is Yuri.

That Yuri likely tossed
so many files

and documents around in order to
better conceal the one he took.

And do we know
which file that is?

Only by its title:
"Russian defector

Ilya Sokolov, 1985."

(sighs)
What would Yuri want
with an old defector?

Do we know where
this guy is now?

Is he even alive?

The answers to those questions
are likely in the missing file.

And now in the hands of Yuri.

(phone chimes)

Wherever he is, find him.

GRECO:
Damn it, Director,
that is just unacceptable!

I simply cannot believe
you would go behind my back

and meddle
in my Russian prisoner exchange.

Cool your jets, Counselor.
NCIS has every right

to follow up with any convict
that we captured.

Yet you have no right
to just send in agents

who ruined everything!

Whoa, whoa, easy! Let's
at least wait till our agents

get back from the ship
before accusing them

of killing your deal.

Well, that's
a nice choice of words.

What?

Apparently, Nate Billings
was just found hanging

from a bedsheet in
his holding cell.

GRECO:
There's nothing
"apparently" about it.

Billings killed himself after
whatever your agents told him.

Our agents reported
that Billings got spooked

when he saw that photo of Yuri.

Oh, please...

I'm sympathetic
to your murder case,

but enough with this
mysterious Yuri character.

Are you serious, pal?

What I'm serious about, pal,

is avoiding
an international crisis.

Luckily, the Watts couple
are on a flight now.

They just landed in Moscow,

and the Canadians are
gonna get their prisoners.

And what about Evelyn,
where's she?

What, you, you think
I would tell you?

With Billings dead, I'd be
damned if I let you two meddle

with my last bargaining chip.

Well, we got other places
to be, so...

Well, not me. I'm, I'm
gonna stay right here

until the agents come.

Like hell you are.

Yeah, send security.

The big guys.

You're throwing me out?

Unless you'd rather walk.

You'll be hearing
from my bosses.

First of all,
"the big guys"?

That was a nice touch.

Eh, well.

And I can't believe Billings.

Yeah, choosing death
over facing this Yuri guy?

Which is why I'll be hearing
from that blowhard's bosses.

I don't know how much longer
I can run interference.
(phone chimes)

PARKER:
Won't need it, hopefully.

All right, in the meantime...
keep meddling.

Hey, Ducky.

Ah. (chuckles)

Greetings from Edinburgh, Timothy.

And it's good to see you, too,
Agent Parker.

Back to your homeland, Ducky?

Well, it's stop number 14

in my 35-city lecture tour.

Scotland is just as lovely
as when I left it.

It's my next vacation spot.
Can't wait.

I was just telling
Dr. Mallard

about the missing file
on Ilya Sokolov.

He actually
remembers him.

Ah, from the old NIS days.

Sokolov was
a brilliant scientist.

He was widely considered to be

the top polymath
in the former Soviet Union.

The Soviets put him
to work in every field until

the Berlin Wall came down,
then he defected,

changed his name and pursued

a quiet life
as a college professor.

You recall where, Duck?

Well, last I heard,
he was teaching

in a small town called Towson.

Well, he'd be retired by now.

And how about the name change?

Yeah, what was it?

Something
from an old television show.

Kuryakin.

Ivan Kuryakin.

I remember that show.
Thanks, Duck.

You're still the best, Duck.

Oh, I do what I can.

(chuckles)

PARKER:
Mr. Kuryakin?

(man speaking Russian on radio)

(door opens)

McGEE:
Parker.

Dead. And still warm.

Damn.

Poor old man was
tortured to death.

(faucet squeaks)

(whistling nearby)

NCIS.
Come out of the shower.

Ah. Yuri.

Valkov, yes.

Yuri Valkov.

Get your hands up.

Oh, man. How'd I miss that?

Get on the ground.

Actually, do you mind

if I go back in there
and rinse this off?

Contact lenses may have
helped you fool

the Archives'
retinal scanner, Yuri,

but fingerprints don't lie.

It's no wonder
facial rec gave us nothing,

since your oligarch daddy spent

millions keeping his golden boy
off everyone's radar

and thinking he's above the law.

I do come
from a successful family.

But "oligarchs"?

It's nothing more
but tacky American propaganda.

Yeah, and how about breaking
into the National Archives

to find and kill
an old Russian defector?

Is that propaganda, too?

I'll confess to that.

Sokolov was a traitor.

And the poor security guard,
he was just

a hapless victim of bad timing.

What?

You don't like my confession?

I don't like you.

And I'm trying to fathom
why Billings

would kill himself
rather than face you.

He was weak.

That's what weak men do.

He called you his handler.

What were you handling?

What's the bigger plan?

(sighs)

The bigger plan is
for me to go to prison

and serve my time.

Nothing left to handle.

"Nothing left to handle"?

I don't like
the sound of that.

Whatever his mission was,

for him to give up so easily

means it's already
been accomplished.

(phones chime)

It's Jimmy.

I'll go.

JIMMY:
Based on these bruises
and burns,

Sokolov was clearly tortured,
but that's not what killed him.

Just like
the Archives' security guard,

there's a deep stab wound

straight through
Sokolov's aorta.

Well, I'm no torture expert,

but Yuri wouldn't
finish a guy off

until after he got
what he wanted.

Well, whatever he wanted,

he could've sent
to Russia right then.

Hopefully Kasie can unlock
his cell phone.

Yeah, I'll go check it out.

I love you, Jimmy.

You're a funny man, Nick Torres.

Hey, you know I'm
kidding, right?

Yeah, and I deserve it
after embarrassing myself

and Jess.

Well, she wouldn't discuss it either.

Believe me, I tried.

Oh, no.

What do you mean "oh, no"?

You didn't say anything
that wasn't true.

Life is too short,

and we don't say it
enough anyways.

Hey, look, I know.

Guess I just had a much
different image in my head

of how I would say it to Jess
for the first time.

Well, that time will come again.

Don't beat yourself up for it.

Wow.

"Wow"?

It's just usually me saying

stuff like that.

Hey, I got wisdom,
too, man.

I know you do--
I-- it's just,

lately you've been
a little, uh...

Well, you've been calling
your mother a lot.

Bro, again with my mom?

McGee and Knight are on me
about that, too.

Yeah, what'd you tell 'em?

Nothing.

Do you want to tell me?

(clears throat)
I don't know.

Maybe, maybe it's all these

immigration cases
we've been working on

in the last couple of months.

Made me a little sentimental?

I've just been thinking
about the sacrifices

that Mom made for me
and my sister, that's all.

Very understandable.

Why not tell McGee and Jess?

I guess I just didn't realize it
until they asked.

I'm also holding out until
Knight says she loves you back.

(laughs)
Oh, Nick,

please don't say anything...

Hey, I'm kidding. Relax.

Believe me,
I will gladly stay out of it.

For now.

(door opens)

I was able to access Yuri's
call history, and, sure enough,

he made a bunch of calls
in the last two days

to a number with the telltale
Russian country code.

So whatever info
Sokolov gave Yuri,

he relayed straight to Russia.

Mm-hmm, as far as his photos,

whatever Yuri has them
encrypted with,

it's nothing
I've ever seen before.

Yeah, same here.

I think I'm almost in, though.

So, Jess?

Talk to Jimmy lately?

(clears throat)
Uh, no, Kasie.

I haven't really had the chance
in the last 36 hours.

You know, with all
the helicopter rides

and Russian spies killing
themselves. (chuckles)

Oh, yeah, sure,
your typical workday,

Got it.
(laughs)

Just as long
as you're not mad at Jimmy.

What? No, I'm...

not mad at anyone.

I do kind of wish
people would stop asking me

about what Jimmy may
or may not have blurted.

Oh, he blurted it.

Aren't those photos
unlocked yet?

Uh...
(computer chimes)

Ooh, as a matter of fact,
they are.

KASIE:
Looks like

top secret
National Archive files.

KNIGHT:
Oh, wait.

What are those here?

Is that Senator Miller?

(types)

Wait, didn't she tell us that
she'd never seen Yuri before?

She sure did.

Maybe this is what
Billings meant about Yuri

taking matters
into his own hands.

Well, at least now
we know how Yuri was able

to forge the senator's
retinal ID.

Take a look
at this high-res shot.

There's software on the dark web

that can reproduce those eyes
with fingerprint accuracy.

Well, that would explain it.

But now we got
an even bigger problem.

If Parker's new squeeze
is cozying up to Yuri,

could she be a Russian asset?

Well, if she is,
I sure don't want to be the one

to tell Parker.

Really?

(Parker sighs)

No.

Leon, there's no way.

No way she could be
manipulating you for cover?

For intel?
To serve as her alibi?

She's not
The Manchurian Candidate.

Yeah, but she did make
the first move.

She gave you her card
in my office.

Which proves my point.
What Russian asset

would be so obvious?

Only one way to find out.

Me?
Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

But shouldn't I recuse myself?

Given our prior... you know.

Oh, it's your prior "you know"

that might just get her
to confide in you.

(sighs)

Still, I was thinking, uh,

maybe McGee
or really anyone but...

Nope. She's all yours.

Oh, man, this is
gonna be so good.

(sighs)

Thanks for coming in, Senator.

So, it's "Senator" now?

What can I do for you, Agent?

His name is Yuri Valkov.

You might recognize him
as the man who used

your retinal ID to break
into the National Archives.

So you got him?

We did.

But only after you said
you'd never seen him before.

So I'm, uh...

I'm sure there's
a good explanation.

Well, I certainly
recognize the outfit.

I wore it
to a recent fundraiser.

Thousand dollars a plate.

But you still
don't recognize him?

Do you know how many photos
I posed for that night?

How many hundreds of donors?

Then you don't know him?

Of course I don't.

But I can comb
through the donor files

and see if there's any record
of him, if that helps.

It would help.

You understand...

I know you're just doing
your job, Alden,

but that doesn't make it
any less hurtful

that you would doubt me.

But I don't doubt you.

Like you said,
I'm just doing my job.

MILLER:
There's doing your job, Alden... Okay.

...and then there's
accusing me of...

Well, now I just feel dirty.

Yeah. Me, too.

(phone chimes)
Yeah, we shouldn't
even be here.

What the hell?

KNIGHT:
What is it, Director?

Yes, we just heard. We...

I know.

Squad room's empty.

Is everybody hiding from me?

Well, we thought about it.
You okay?

Living a dream.

Welcome to our nightmare.

Torres and Knight are
currently trying to gather

as much intel on Evelyn's
whereabouts as possible.

VANCE:
Bad news from Interpol.

John and Renée Watts

allegedly fell off a balcony

just hours
after landing in Moscow.

What?

Seems the Russians want
their spies back

just to shut 'em up for good.

About Yuri, we're guessing.
Whatever he was up to.

Tell me that the
State Department

is calling off their
precious deal.

Oh, you would think so,
but what Russia does

with its spies is of no concern
to Counselor Greco,

long as the international
prisoners are released.

Even if it gets Evelyn killed?

Last we heard, they are
prepping her for transport.

From where, exactly,

is anyone's guess.

So, if she gets to Russia,
only to meet

the same fate as
these three...

Whatever she knows about Yuri
and his mission dies with her.

Yeah, whatever you can find out,
Tommy, I appreciate it.

Okay, please call me back
if you hear anything.

Anything?
Nothing.

Yeah. Most of our usual sources

haven't even heard
of a Russian deal.

Yeah, same here.

Even my friends at the State
Department are in the dark.

Enough with the bad news
already!

We're trying to find some good
news, Agent Parker, believe me.

PARKER:
Then come back when you
have some, all right?

Wait.

I have something to say.

No. No need to say it,
Knight. Look.

Jimmy, Kasie, I'm sorry.

Oh, no, it-it's not that. Uh...

No, no, no. But it is.
See, the last couple days

have gotten to me, along
with the countless favors

I just called in
that are gonna get us nowhere...

Uh, yeah, I get that, uh,
but this is

more of an announcement
for the room.

(sighs):
Uh...

So, I know this is, uh,

hardly the time or place, uh,

but now that I have
you all here... (chuckles)

and you want
some good news, um...

...here it is.

Here what is?

I love you, too, Jimmy.

Hello?

(clears throat)

Now can we all get
back to work, please?

That was awesome.

What did I tell you, man?

I needed that.

You needed that?

I got it. Evelyn's location.

Where?

In a State Department vehicle

headed for the Russian embassy.

Good game.
(chuckles)

(tires screech)

Mr. Greco. Counselor.

Nope. Absolutely not.

Hello, Tim.
You came to see me off?

No, no, Evelyn,
you do not have to go.

Uh, yes, she does. Agent?

Okay, fellas, what's
your business?

We're NCIS, Agent, okay?
All good.

McGEE:
Knight, Torres,
we got her out back

by the delivery entrance.

TORRES: Roger that.
The delivery entrance?

GRECO:
To avoid meddlers.

PARKER:
Or more likely,

to not be seen
before you disappear for good.

From America, maybe, but...

Russia's not so bad in spring.

I could really use
a fresh start.

Like the one
your fellow spies never got?

You-- Do not listen to them.

Billings
and the Watts couple, huh?

Billings took himself out.

The Watts story,
it's unconfirmed.

Are you saying they're dead?

Yes, and you will be, too,
if you go.

Do not listen to them.
McGEE:
Evelyn.

Delilah still says that you were

the absolute smartest T.A.
she has ever had.

Aww, Delilah, really?
Yes.

And in spite of how things
ended up,

she would not want anything bad
to happen to you,

and neither would I.

Convict or not, Evelyn,

you still have the right
to turn down this deal.

GRECO:
But not to deny
an American prisoner

a chance to come home.

Or you could save
countless lives by helping us.

PARKER:
There'll be other offers

that don't involve
you getting killed.

No, Agent, there will not be
any other offers, okay?

Come on, oh-- are you just
gonna stand there?

I got a daughter
about this one's age,

so I'd like to hear more.

My man.

(scoffs)
Unbelievable.

Evelyn, why don't you
just come back

to NCIS with us,
and we'll talk about it.

What do you say?

Aww, Yuri.
(laughs softly)

You know him.

Of course I do.

Ooh, is this a mug shot?

That's too bad.
He was such a sweetheart.

That is not a description
that we have heard before.

Uh, okay, don't get me wrong.

He was trouble.
(laughs)

But, I mean, not at first.

Yuri is who recruited me.

Got me into ecology and stuff
coming out of undergrad.

So, when did you get the sense
that he was trouble?

Once he started pushing me

to get him
that universal access key.

Yuri was behind that?

All of it.

Though once he knew
I wasn't getting the key,

he pretty much ghosted me.

(scoffs)
Such a dude move.

That key could have been used
to access bank codes,

oil reserves, launch nukes.

So when you say Yuri
was behind all of it...

Global chaos. You know.

Revenge, destruction.

That was pretty much
all Yuri talked about.

Okay. What's next?

And what kind of global chaos

was Yuri planning
when we caught him?

Got to be some way to find out.

Yeah, but I'm just not
so sure that it's Evelyn.

(knocking on door)

A private word with you,
Agent Parker? Outside?

Outside? Are we gonna fight?

I volunteer if you'd rather not.

Nobody's gonna fight.
Just a question.

Next time, I promise.

(door closes)

All right, Parker, who was it?

Hey, back off.

Who told you when and where

we were transporting
our prisoner?

I don't divulge my sources.

Well, then, I hope you're happy.

The Russians have gone silent
since you killed my deal.

For all we know, they're gonna
kill the American prisoner

if they haven't already.

He's already dead.

Senator Miller?

As a member of the Foreign
Relations Committee,

my sources say
the American prisoner

died of natural causes
three weeks ago.

Are you saying the Russians
were bluffing the whole time?

Sure sounds like it.

Well, I-- now, I still
need to verify that,

but that still doesn't answer

my question, Parker.

Who told you?

Are you really that dim?
I told him.

And if you've got
a problem with that,

you can take it up with my boss.

VANCE:
And on your way
out, Mr. Greco,

the FBI's in the lobby
with some questions

about your finances.

My finances?

Yes, some, uh, portfolio
with the Central Bank of Russia?

They-- Well, they can
better explain it.

Right this way. Come on.

W-Wait a minute.

H-Hold on,
you checked my portfolio?

They-they looked at my finances?

Well, that explains a lot.

I never did like that guy.

You're just the gift
that keeps on giving today.

Well, we are still
on the same side here.

Thank you. No, really.

And, uh, if I can
make it up to you...?

Oh, no, Alden. We're done.

Right.

(scoffs)
Wait, you sure?

Quite sure.

Besides, you're still in love
with your old girlfriend.

(scoffs)

Women know things, you know?

Thank you.

Parker,

Torres.

Come with me.

Thanks for getting back to me
on such short notice.

What do you have for us, Doctor?

I understand you have
Yuri Valkov in custody.

We have. He's currently
in county jail,

awaiting arraignment.

And his mental state?

Funny you should ask, Ducky.

Yuri seems far too content

for someone about
to spend life in prison.

Oh, that's what I would
expect from him

now that he's accomplished
his mission.

You know his mission?

I learned from a Russian contact
that before Sokolov defected,

the Soviets had him
working on a project

that was most troubling.

And what's the project?

Something that falls
into the category

of weapons of mass destruction.

That's troubling.

Any idea what kind
of weapon, Duck?

I'm still working on it,

but the mere knowledge
of its existence

conjures up
a frightening scenario.

Sokolov's doomsday device
had to be what Yuri was after.

What, even after 30-some years?

Well, technology's
more advanced now.

Whatever Sokolov
was working on then,

it'd just be more feasible now.

So if Yuri maybe managed
to torture any details

about the device
out of Sokolov...

And already sent it to Russia...

Well, they could
already be building

a prototype to use against us.

That's a lot
of coulds and maybes.

Yeah, the only person who knows
for sure right now: Yuri.

Well, surely, you can
make some kind of a deal.

We tried, Ducky,
he's not biting.

More than content
to go to prison, like I said.

And take whatever
he knows with him.

Leaving us with no way
to get it.
