The Mashriq Army has only ever
attacked live military targets.

I mean, we never
even considered

the possibility they might
go after a museum vessel.

- Terrible...
- Watch out! (GRUNTS)

NELSON:
Hey, are you okay?

(GUNSHOTS)
Nelson!

DEEKS: Who is he?
ERIC: Abbas Jalal.

NELL: Wasim Ghulam has met with him
on multiple occasions,

always in a different place.

I guess I missed
something.

That's why I think we
should bring in somebody else.

Her name came up while I was
researching the Mashriq Army.

Special Agent Fatima Namazi.

If the Mashriq Army thought
it was worth the risk

to free Jalal, he must
be important, huh?

If they took Jalal,

it's because they need him
for something.

Another attack.

I got eyes on Jalal.

Federal agents!
Everyone stay back!

Show us your hands, Jalal.

FATIMA:
You need to see this.

I've been monitoring the Mashriq
Army's online presence.

They just posted this.

You have just felt
the wrath of the Mashriq Army.

No one is safe.

DEEKS: We got two more exits
wired with explosives.

They're checking the last one
right now,

but it's probably
the same thing.

I don't think

you're getting out of there
any time soon.

There's got to be
an exit somewhere.

- Elias, we should just go back.
- No way.

Just let me think.

MORALES (OVER SPEAKERS):
Please gather in the lobby.

The police have directed us
to not open

any of the exit doors.

Move to the theater lobby
immediately.

You heard them.

Come on, let's go.
Eddie,

we shouldn't be at the movies--
we're supposed to be at school.

Mom's gonna kill us if
she found out we ditched.

Okay. Yeah.

Hey! I see an exit sign.

MAN:
Get what you can, boys.

(CHUCKLES)

It's all free today.

Give me a sitrep.

Third bomb just went off
at the backstage exit.

Callen and Sam
still in there?

Sam's in the lobby
helping the wounded.

Callen just left to get eyes
on that third bomb.

This whole theater
could be wired to explode.

Well, that's a possibility, but
the only thing we know for sure

is that the exits are
where people are dying,

so everyone's got to
stay inside for now,

including Callen and Sam.
- Done.

CALLEN:
Nell, talk to me.

No one has entered
or exited backstage

since the bomb went off.

Got it.

(DISTANT CLATTERING)

Hold on.
I think I hear something.

Federal agent!

EDDIE:
Hello? Hello?

Help us! Please!

Hey.

How you doing there?

I'm okay.

I'm gonna get you
out of here, okay?

My name's Callen.
Can you tell me your name?

I'm Eddie.
You're Eddie?

How old are you, Eddie?

Nine.
You're nine, huh?

Eddie, you got anybody
in there with you?

My brother Elias.

I can't wake him up, though.

- Just help us, please!
- Okay.

I'll tell you
what I'm gonna do.

I'm gonna get you out of there.
Just wait one second, okay?

You just hold tight.

Sam, bomb site's clear,
but I got a couple kids

trapped under some debris.

You need me to come to you?

No, I'm good.
Stay out there with the wounded.

Copy that.

(WEAKLY):
Sam.

Baby, what's wrong?

I can't breathe.

Listen-- stand back.

Don't move.

(PAINED GASP)
Dan...

your left collarbone
is dislocated.

It's blocking
your windpipe.

Oh, my God.
Will he be okay?

He will be
if I can pull it in place.

(GROANS)
All right.

Okay, now, Dan,

we've come this far together,

I'm not gonna start
lying to you now.

This is gonna hurt.

But it's the only way.

Okay?
(PANTING)

Okay. Okay.

(GROANING LOUDLY)

(GASPS)

Okay, one more, one more.

Okay.
(STRAINING)

Hang in there.

Okay. Give me the shirt.
Give me your shirt.

Get it in place.

Hold that in place.
Hold that in place.

Okay.

Okay.

(GASPING)

Ready?

(STRAINING)

(GASPING)

ANNIE:
Thank you! Thank you so much!

- Thank you!
- We need to prep him to move.

We got to get him
to the hospital. Morales!

Yes?

A little help.
Oh, yes, sir.

(LABORED BREATHING)
(CRYING)

- We're gonna use this as a backboard.
- Okay.

All right?
Uh-huh.

- Okay, grab his feet. Grab his feet.
- All right.

We'll lift on the count
of three.

Okay? All right.
Got it.

One, two, three, come on.
(GROANS)

Okay, Eddie,

you know how to do
an army crawl?

Yeah. We do it
at gymnastics class.

Well, that's good to hear.

'Cause I need a little room in
there to get your brother out,

and this is what
I need you to do.

I want you to get down
and army crawl towards me. Okay?

You think you can do that?
Yeah.

Let's give that a try,
all right?

You just look right at me,
and let's give it a try.

I can do it, but you're gonna
help Elias, right?

Of course I'm gonna help Elias.

But I need you to help me first.

Okay?
Okay.

So come on down here.
Right through here.

There you go.

You're a brave guy.
A brave nine-year-old.

(DEBRIS CLATTERING)

There you go.

Just keep coming.
All the way.

There you go, buddy.

Watch your head.

There you go.

All right, listen, Eddie.

You're gonna stay
right here, okay?

I'm gonna get your brother.

(GRUNTING)

Kensi, Deeks,

you guys out front?
Excuse me.

Yeah, we're here,
Sam, we're here.

When Callen and I moved in
on Jalal, he looked scared.

Well, makes sense. He knew
what he came here to do.

No, that's the thing.
Right before the bomb detonated,

he looked like...

Like what?

Like he wanted our help.

You think somebody else
forced him to do it?

I don't know,
but in that moment,

I don't think he made the
decision to detonate that bomb.

Someone else did.

A remote detonator.
Yeah.

They'd need a line of sight.

They wouldn't want to be
in the theater.

They had to be posted up
out front somewhere.

There.

Beale, I need
surveillance footage

from that café's
outdoor seating.

ERIC:
Got it. What am I looking for?

Anything after
the initial explosion.

Anybody acting suspicious.

Ooh, there.
Push in on that guy.

Yeah.

NELL:
See, he's too casual.

It's like he knew
what was about to happen.

Okay, guys, we have a man who
was seated at the outdoor tables

who casually walks away

directly after the explosion.

Can't get a good look
at his face, though.

Sam, we've got a direct line
of sight into the lobby.

Jalal didn't detonate that bomb.

(GRUNTING)

(STRAINING)

(GROANING)

How you doing, Elias?
My name's Callen.

I'm gonna get you out
of here. Okay?

Where is Eddie?
Is he okay?

Eddie's fine. He's fine.
He's right out here, okay?

My mom's gonna kill me
if anything happens to him.

Nothing's gonna happen
to him. Okay?

I'm gonna get you out of here.

(GRUNTS)

All right, now, listen.

I'm gonna have to lift this up
so I can get your leg free.

Then I'm gonna pull you
out of here. Understand?

It's gonna hurt. Right?

It might.

But you're Eddie's big brother.

Eddie's scared right now.

You've got to be
brave for him.

So you're gonna be strong
for your brother, aren't you?

Yes, sir.

That's right.

Okay, you ready?

Yes, sir.

(GRUNTING)

(ELIAS GROANING)

There you go.
There you go.

(GRUNTS)
I'm gonna pull you around.

You okay?
Yeah.

Here you go.

Watch it, be careful.

All right.
All right.

You are being so brave,
my friend.

(GROANING)

- You still there, Eddie?
EDDIE: Yeah.

(CALLEN GRUNTING)

There you go.

Elias.
I'm okay.

I'm okay.
I got both boys.

NELL:
Nice work, Callen.

Bomb squad has secured
exit points west of the lobby.

Copy that.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER, COUGHING)

Mrs. Ryland.
Cathy!

(SIRENS APPROACHING)

Guys, we got to go.
Got to move,

got to move, got to move...
SAM: All right, Dan, hang in there.

Hang in there.
We got you.

Come on, come on,
come on. Right here.

Okay. All right.
You hang in there, buddy.

Thank you so much.
Thank you. Thank you.

You're welcome. You're welcome.

Be strong.

Hey, Morales.

Good work in there today.

Why would someone do this?

I ask myself that every day.

Excuse me.
Hey, guys.

Here we go.

- Watch his leg.
- Elias.

NEWSMAN:
Yes, Paula, as you can see,

this is the terrifying scene
just outside...

Body count's up to seven,
but all other civilians

were safely evac'd.

Bomb squad's gonna be
finishing clearing the theater

in the next few hours.

Look, I know
you're all running on fumes,

but you saw this video.

The terrorist cell we
believe is responsible,

the Mashriq Army,
has issued another threat.

And based on the weapons crates
we found at the warehouse,

it could be a bombing

or an active shooter scenario.
SAM: If these attacks

were financed by money

that Jalal stole
from Omar Azim...

Then we need to find Azim.
Right.

Eric and Nell found a
last known location,

an intersection in West L.A.

We'll check it out.

Wasim Ghulam, the suspect

in the USS Iowa attack,
has just regained consciousness.

So I'd like you

to take Fatima with you.

See if you can get
anything out of him.

Anything on that video, Beale?

No, and I'm trying

everything I can think of.

Well, breaks come
when you least expect them.

The FBI found

four undetonated bombs hidden
within the theater,

so as awful as
the attack was,

it could've been much worse.

Okay.

I just got a hit on the search
for known associates

of Lethabo Khan, the shooter

Callen and Sam took down
at the warehouse.

Okay, apparently this photo

was taken in Panama
six months ago.

Now, that is Khan on the left,

and facial rec just ID'd the man
on the right as Moswen Basson.

Interesting.

Basson served in the same
Special Forces unit as Khan,

and, like Khan,

he was discharged in 2009
for insubordination.

Discharged
for the same incident?

Well, it appears so,

but the details
have been redacted.

Intel records show Khan working
for a private security firm

in Venezuela from 2010 to 2013.
NELL: Ooh.

And lookee here.
FBI flagged Basson

as part
of a private protection detail

in Costa Rica at that same time.

Looks like both men chose
to go the paid mercenary route.

What are the odds
that they've kept in touch?

Maybe Basson is also working
for the Mashriq Army.

NELL: Well, according to
Fatima, Mashriq Army

doesn't work with outsiders.

Well, based on the events
of the last few days,

the Mashriq Army's evolving.

(SIGHS)

Tell you, those kids from the
theater are something special.

I don't know many adults
who could've held it together

in a situation like that.

They got that warrior spirit.

Yeah.

You hear from the hospital?

Elias is still in surgery.

Doctor said
it's gonna be a long one.

We'll find the people
who did this.

NELL:
Hey, Callen?

Yeah.

So, I got an update

on Omar's car.

After it passed
through that intersection,

it looks like
a gas station security camera

picked it up
about a mile down the road

turning into an industrial park.

Gonna send you the location now.

All right, got it.

Oh, and, guys,
Omar is not alone.

The video shows two others
in his car.

Copy that.

(ENGINE STARTS)

(DOOR OPENS)

Wasim.

Nice to see you again.

(BREATHES HEAVILY)

You help the Americans?

Betray your people,

your country, and
almighty Allah.

You wear a hijab,

but you are nothing more
than a spoiled American girl.

You murder innocent people
for personal gain.

Your actions have nothing to do
with Allah.

Why don't you tell us why

the Mashriq Army attacked
the L.A. Theatre.

I will tell you nothing.

Oh.

Easy, tiger.

Starting to think

you don't like me.

Which is weird, right? 'Cause
I'm incredibly likable.

Super likable.
In fact, it's probably

the most common adjective used
to describe me, is "likable."

Maybe not the most common.
Stop.

Just stop talking.

KENSI:
It's amazing to me

how in every culture
on this planet,

people have the same
reaction to you.

Oh, it's not Deeks. Wasim here

is just a man who values
his personal space.

(BEEPING QUICKENS)

DEEKS:
Not being fond of tight spaces

is interesting, considering
your reward for trying to bomb

the USS Iowa
is solitary confinement.

KENSI:
23 hours a day

in a six-by-eight
windowless box.

At night, you know
what they say?

It is so dark in there

that it's like being trapped
in a black hole.

Okay! I can't do
solitary confinement. Please.

Back away.

Okay.
Okay.

(EXHALES)

KENSI:
Then I'll ask again.

Why did the Mashriq Army

attack the L.A. Theatre?

What are you talking about?
There was a bombing today.

The Mashriq Army
does not attack theaters.

We seek to
avenge the death

of our families

and the destruction of our homes
by your cowardly military.

Tell us about Abbas Jalal

and his role within
the Mashriq Army.

(EXHALES)

Jalal only manages our money.

He is not a soldier
of the cause.

He is of little value to us.

KENSI:
Really? He's of so little value

to you that you manipulated him

into wearing a suicide vest

at the L.A. Theatre.

Jalal was a fearful man.

He's not capable
of something like that.

And even if he was,

he would never pay
the ultimate price

for the Mashriq Army.

Well, he did, so tell us why.

I have no idea.

Who would Jalal
sacrifice himself for

if not for you and your cause?

This man, Omar Azim.

Jalal loved him
like a father,

but Omar would
not accept us.

He spoke poorly

of the Mashriq Army

and even tried to get Jalal
to condemn us.

So you forced Jalal
to steal that money

from Bana and Omar Azim?

Jalal proved himself loyal
to the Mashriq Army.

But he did not kill himself
for us.

CALLEN: We've found
Omar's last known location.

SAM: No bombs, no wires.
We're going in.

Copy that.

♪ ♪

Omar Azim.

The Mashriq Army flag.

SAM: This is where they
filmed the threat video.

Then, whoever issued
the threat of another attack

is still out there.

CALLEN:Coroner's prelim
placed Omar's death

within the last few hours.

SAM: Hmm.

These two were killed
over 12 hours ago.

Bana Azim said Omar
disappeared last night,

so he was kept tied up.

Maybe they restrained Omar
so they could interrogate him.

Might have had something
to do with Jalal.

SAM: And these two were
stripped down.

Clothes gone, not
anywhere in the building.

Maybe they were wearing
some kind of uniforms.

Uniforms that give them access
to their next target.

We need IDs on these bodies,
find out where they worked.

FATIMA:
So let's say Jalal didn't plan

or want to carry out
the bombing,

and he didn't do it
for the Mashriq Army.

Well, Omar's bound
and executed,

so it looks like he didn't
force Jalal to do it.

Unless he did.
What do you mean?

Jalal cared for Omar; he's
like a father figure to him.

So what if somebody used Omar
as leverage against Jalal?

Okay, so...

Omar wasn't tortured
and interrogated.

He was being used as ransom

until Jalal executed
the bombing.

If Jalal didn't follow through,

they'd kill a man he cared for
and respected.

We have to find who's pulling
these strings, and fast.

NELL:
Hey, Callen?

What's the word, Nell?

NELL:
I've ID'd the bodies.

Uh, Graham Heller
and Ray Donner,

they were both baggage handlers
at the West Harbor Airport.

That's their next target.

Have Kensi and Deeks
meet us there,

and alert the airport
PD that we're inbound.

We don't want
to trigger any action

earlier than they had planned.
Yep, got it.

Those employee ID badges give
'em access to restricted areas.

That's not good.

Hey, guys?

CALLEN: Yeah.
So, airport director

said that Donner
and Heller were part

of the crew that was stationed
at the main terminal.

I only see six baggage handlers.

No one noticed that Donner
and Heller showed up to work

looking a little different?

We were told the airport
uses lots of contractors,

so there's lots of turnover.

Yeah. Crews are accustomed
to seeing new faces every day.

All right, we'll head in,
we'll find out who's using

the stolen ID badges.
And, Deeks,

tell the director of the airport
that we'll be on the tarmac

wearing mechanics coveralls
and vests.

That'll be cute. Copy that.

Follow my lead out there.

I know tools
aren't your thing.

Useful tools are my thing.

Mm.

You know, guns, knives,
things that'll save my life.

That stuff you use for your
hobbies, like fixing old boats

and cars, those aren't tools,
those are toys.

And it doesn't
bother you,

knowing that if your
car breaks down,

you have neither the knowledge
nor tools to fix it?

Now, in this scenario,
is every auto mechanic

in the entire world
already dead?

(LAUGHS SOFTLY)

I'm just asking.

WOMAN:
Bye now, thank you.

MAN: Thanks.
Have a nice day.

(CAMERA CLICKING)

Half the badges are obscured,

but I'm sending you
the photos anyway.

NELL:
Copy that, Callen.

(METAL THUDDING SOFTLY)

What exactly are you pretending
to do over there?

I mean, it's ridiculous.

(LAUGHS)
Why does it bother you so much

that we don't have the same
interests and hobbies?

'Cause I don't want to get shot
because you're over there

tapping things with a wrench.

That's a good point.

NELL:
Hey, Callen, I've got a match.

South African mercenary
Moswen Basson,

he's the guy with the beard.

FATIMA: We got a hit
on Homeland's database.

The last photo you sent
is another

South African mercenary
named Sanele Chetty.

He has ties with Basson
going back a decade,

when they were both arrested
for smuggling

military-grade explosives
into South Africa.

That's three South African
mercenaries since the warehouse.

Mm-hmm.
The Mashriq Army

would never work
with mercenaries.

CALLEN: Yeah, well, either way,
we got two shooters

on site that are
explosive experts.

Everyone's hustling from cart
to cart but Basson and Chetty.

They're staying
at the same cart.

Well, let's find out
what's on the cart.

Kens, Deeks, we're moving in.

Heads on a swivel. We don't know
if they got backup shooters

on site.
- Copy that.

Hey, guys.

Is this the baggage cart
with the bad axle?

There is no problem here.

SAM:
Look, guys,

the sooner you point out
the broken axle,

the sooner I can get back
to the bar to watch the fight.

There is no problem.
Look, I've been waiting

a long time for the heavyweight
division to make a comeback,

so if you just point out

the broken axle,
we can all be on our way.

Please, we are
very busy here.

Federal agents!

SAM:
On your knees. On your knees.

Don't do it. Don't do it.

I got Chetty.
I got the bag.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Nell, we have an unactivated
bomb on the tarmac.

Alert Airport Police.

I'm looking for any antennas.

Copy that, Sam.

Attention. This is
the NCIS Operation Center.

I need you to clear all runways
and terminals immediately.

There is a live explosive
on site.

I REPEAT:
a live explosive on site.

(BOTH GRUNTING)

Sam. Chetty's secured,

but I think he may
have activated the bomb.

He did.

But I think I can disarm this.

WOMAN (OVER P.A.): Attention, travelers,
please immediately

proceed to the main terminal

and exit
through the entrance doors,

toward Parking Lot A.

Deeks, janitor has a gun.

Airport security will be waiting
to provide further instructions.

Federal agents.

Remain calm and orderly
at all times.

We appreciate your cooperation.

DEEKS: Now!
Drop!

DEEKS:
Hey!

KENSI:
Secure the weapon!

(BOTH GRUNT)

Oh!

(GRUNTS)

You know I had him, right?

Yeah, clearly. (GROANS)
You okay?

Yeah, just kind of tweaked
my neck on that hit.

That's 'cause you got to pop
from the hips,

flatten your back,
keep your head up,

and drive through your target.

Yeah, I'll think
about that next time.

Callen, Sam, I got the guy
in the terminal.

CALLEN:
Everybody needs to move!

There's a live bomb
on the tarmac!

Partner, how we doing?

40 seconds. I'm almost there.

I just need a few more seconds.

Sam, we've just learned
that there are 11 people

still on that plane.

Nell, how's that west runway
looking?

NELL:
Air traffic has been diverted.

Ground personnel is clear.
You are good to go.

Sam, you're cutting it
too close.

The blast can ignite
the jet fuel.

I need to get more separation.

Sam, you need to get off
of that thing, now!

I've got five seconds! Four...

Sam, get off!

- Three...
- Sam.

Sam!

KENSI:
Oh, my gosh.

CALLEN:
All right, thanks.

You good?

Be better if I didn't see
a bomb for a long time.

What do you mean?
Bombs are your thing.

It's like your superpower.

I mean, Sam Hanna
without a bomb to disable

would kind of be
like Aquaman without a...

No. Based on your vast,
extensive knowledge of comics,

I'm looking forward
to hearting this.

Aquaman without what?

Aquaman without a...
I got nothing.

I got nothing.

I don't think
the Mashriq Army's behind this.

I think those
South African mercenaries

are working
for someone else.

Neither attack matches
the Intel Fatima gave us

on the Mashriq Army.

They don't target civilians
and they don't use outsiders.

Right, so whoever's behind this
showed us that fake video

to keep us on the trail
of the Mashriq Army.

I don't think
it's another terrorist group.

They usually want to
take credit for these attacks.

You know, a terrorist
group wouldn't target

an airport this small.

Or a movie theater
midweek at noon.

They want high-density,
soft targets

where they can get
as many kills as possible.

Yeah. LAX,
The Grove, you know.

More casualties,
more publicity.

Well, unless
they're not prepared

for all the additional security.

Nah, these guys are
pros, ex-military.

They're not gonna be deterred
by private security.

All right, so these attacks
aren't causing mass casualties,

but they are causing
mass hysteria.

Why would you want to set
that atmosphere?

Everyone in the city of L.A.
is in a state of panic.

They're wondering where
the next attack will be.

These attacks are a smokescreen
for something else.

Something more important that
would warrant all this effort.

Important's another way
of saying valuable.

Could be a high-level heist.
It would have to be

the heist of the century
to justify all this.

If these guys weren't
dying for a cause,

then they were looking to leave.

Looking to escape alive.

Eric, Nell, these guys
probably had an escape vehicle

here at the airport;
see if you can locate it.

And alert LAPD
to be on the lookout

for potential hits
on large banks,

jewelry stores, museums.

ERIC:
We're on it.

I'm sorry to disappoint you,

but your threats...

they have no value to me.

They're not threats.
They're promises.

You will spend the next...

forever in prison.

I do not fear the punishment
that awaits me.

This is kind of a first.

Someone just completely
brushing off a life sentence.

Well, there's a way in,
we just got to find it.

Tell me more
about this Dingane Naidoo.

Well, like his fellow cohorts
from the airport,

he is a native of South Africa.

Did he serve?

Military, no.
Time, yes.

Though his record is
largely unimpressive.

He's got a minor drug arrest

in South Africa,
a burglary charge

in Saudi Arabia
that he got off on.

It doesn't sound like the
profile of a religious zealot.

FATIMA:
Not at all.

And it definitely doesn't fit
with what we know

about the Mashriq Army.

Yeah, sounds more like
a common street criminal

looking for their next gig.

- Well, maybe that's all he is.
- What do you mean?

Well, maybe this was
his next gig.

Working with a crew
of mercenaries

to bomb the West Harbor Airport
as cover for something else?

He wouldn't come
all this way to work

without a hefty payday.

Well, and if he's willing
to spend the rest

of his life behind bars,

it must be because
he already got paid.

Yeah, but you can't spend
that money in prison.

Which means it's
for somebody else.

Huh.

Callen, Sam,
I got Basson and Chetty

pulling into the main terminal
parking lot this morning.

Got it.
What were they driving?

ERIC:
It's a gray van.

That van could be wired.

You're the bomb guy.

So, it looks like
your theory holds water.

Naidoo does have someone
back in South Africa.

Who? Wife? Parents?

No, his parents died years ago,
and he never married, but...

FATIMA: He once lived
with a woman in Johannesburg,

who now lives there
with her five-year-old son.

So, let me guess.
They shared that apartment

in 2013?

Yep. And it looks like
this boy is Naidoo's son.

Oh, and get this. The boy
attends a private school

that costs the equivalent
of $15,000 a year,

and his mother works
as a waitress.

Yeah, she's not paying
that tuition on her own.

Okay, so the money
he's making as a mercenary

is used for his child,
which is why

he doesn't mind going to prison.

And we've found our way in.

Yep.
Shall we?

Yeah.

Oh, Agent Ross.

Detective Deeks, Agent Blye,

I understand that
you detained Dingane Naidoo

at the West Harbor Airport.

We're about to go
and question him again.

You want to join us?

(SIGHS) I'm afraid
that's gonna have to wait.

I need to take Naidoo with me.

No, no, no. I know
that we're working this

through the Joint
Terrorism Task Force,

but Naidoo is accused
of planning and executing

a terrorist attack.

Now, we got him.
He has information

that could help prevent
the next attack.

Look, if it were up to me,
I wouldn't be here, all right.

But I have my hands tied.

I mean, this came
straight from the top.

I've got personnel
coming in on a plane.

Washington feels that
their interrogators

are just gonna be
more effective.

I'm sorry.
Let's go.

Did that just happen?

Yeah.
That just happened.

No wires, no explosives.

Looks empty.

Yeah.

Careful.

SAM:
What you got?

I got passports with the photos
of Khan, Naidoo,

Basson, and Chetty.

False names.

They were planning
on exiting the country

once this thing was over.

Fatima, has LAPD confirmed
any threats against local banks

or other high-value targets?

FATIMA:
Negative, Callen.

LAPD is still on alert,

but they haven't noticed
anything suspicious.

Oh, and, guys, the FBI
took Naidoo from the boatshed.

They are taking over
his interrogation.

I mean, I fully recognize that
we're all on the same team here,

but it's just...
It sucks.

We gave the FBI Naidoo's son,

and now we're risking
another bomb going off

while they test this airborne
interrogation team of theirs.

Did you say "airborne"?

Yeah. Why?
What are you thinking?

Sam and Callen found
fake passports,

which means that Khan,
Naidoo, Chetty, and Basson

were all planning
on leaving the country.

Except nobody is airborne

because all the airports
are closed.

I mean, nobody's
landing or taking off.

But what about
a private flight?

Nell, you got any private
flights scheduled to take off

from airports other than LAX
or West Harbor?

No, nothing.
And the flights

that were scheduled
to arrive at LAX and West Harbor

have been rerouted
to a regional airport.

They've all landed except for
one, a noncommercial flight

from Bangkok
with only four passengers.

But hold on.

Guys, this flight
is transporting

a prisoner for extradition.

He's a South African
arms dealer.

Jandre Els.

Jandre Els is extremely
high-level

and extremely well-funded.

And he's about to spend
a lot of time in prison,

which means he has the incentive
to find somebody

willing to help him escape.

Or, better yet,
a group of somebodies.

Say, for instance,
South African mercenaries.

My money says they're
all working for him.

This was never about
a high-value heist.

Jandre Els is the target.

NELL:
Okay, guys,

U.S. Marshals were planning
on transferring Els

directly to a flight to Chicago,
where he's being tried.

But they're now moving him
to the Metro Detention Center

until flights are restored.

That's why they wanted
those flights grounded,

so that Els' connecting flight
wouldn't take off.

I mean, think about it.
He's much more vulnerable

en route
to the Metro Detention Center

'cause
it's an impromptu transfer.

Yeah, but Khan, Basson,
and Chetty are all dead,

and Naidoo is on his way
to Washington.

Yeah, but we never found those automatic
rifles from the warehouse.

There could be
a whole second team

out there just waiting

to take down
this prison transport.

Guys, the Jandre Els flight

has landed at Torrance Airport,

and an SUV registered
to the marshals

just exited.

My God.

Those marshals are gonna be
outgunned.

ERIC: Callen, we can't reach
the marshals

in the prisoner transport.
They're all off-line.

CALLEN:
Got it. Alert LAPD

we may have shooters
in the area with fully-automatic

assault rifles.
NELL: Copy that. The nearest

SWAT team is 15 minutes out.

SAM:
We're a mile out and closing.

Kensi and Deeks
are five minutes out.

CALLEN: Yeah, well, tell 'em
we need them there in two.

(TIRES SQUEALING)

That's Ross.

CALLEN: Kensi, Deeks,
Ross is in on it.

They hit the marshals.
Shooters on site.

DEEKS:
Ross. That son of a bitch.

Moving!

(GUNFIRE CONTINUES)

CALLEN: Kens, Deeks, what's your 20?
(TIRES SCREECH)

DEEKS:
Present.

SAM:
Better late than never.

Yeah, well, never's sounding
pretty damn good right now.

I can't get a
clear shot. Moving!

Move!

SAM:
Ross, drop your weapon.

Reloading.

(RAPID GUNFIRE)

CALLEN:
Sam, stay down.

DEEKS:
Ross, drop the weapon.

(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)

There you are.
I was looking for you.

Oh. Sorry.
Should I not be in here?

Oh. No, no, it's
totally fine.

I was just looking
for someplace to...

I get it. (LAUGHS)

My spot's usually
in the burn room.

Um,

you did some really great work
today, Fatima.

You do that?

What we just did--

you do that all the time?

No, not all the time.

I mean, sometimes.

Okay, maybe more
than sometimes, actually.

What if... what if Callen and
Sam didn't get to the theater

and more people were killed
by that bomb?

Or... or we didn't
figure out

that they were targeting
the airport,

and-and that bomb exploded
in a crowded terminal?

No, no.
Don't play the "what if" game.

I'm not built for this.

I'm not like you.

Do you think I'm built for this?

You're so calm and...

- (LAUGHS)
- ...in control. I mean,

you can separate
your emotions from...

Oh, Fatima,

I barely hold it together
most days.

No, I most certainly
am not built for this.

When I first started here,
this work was

completely
foreign to me.

I mean, I never even dreamed
of having

a job like this.
Then why?

(SMACKS LIPS)

(SIGHS)

Well...

because I believe
in the work we do here,

and...

I really like being part
of this team.

This team is pretty rad.

I mean, it's the raddest.

I... I spoke
with Omar's wife Bana.

God, she must be so devastated.

I'm gonna get coffee
with her tomorrow.

She's been through a lot.

Wow. That's really nice.

All right.

I got to know.

Are you really a rich kid
from Beverly Hills?

Born in Mashhad,
raised in Beverly Hills.

Ooh.

This Midwestern girl has
so many questions.

Madeo for Italian food,
Murat's for your tailoring.

Mm. What about pizza?

Mulberry's.

Of course. (LAUGHS)

Louis.

Madam Undersecretary.

Hell of a few days for your team
out here in the City of Angels.

Yes. Yes, it was, ma'am.

But they're not my team.

Regardless. It's quite a feat
to expose a corrupt FBI agent,

especially one
as accomplished as Ross.

Ross was smart.
He knew that as long

as the focus was
on the Mashriq Army,

no one would be tracking
his moves to free Jandre Els.

That's where
Abbas Jalal came in.

Yeah, once

Agents Nelson and Yim had Jalal
in custody,

Ross had the cover he needed.

All it took then was tipping off
the mercenaries.

So I didn't know you were
coming to Los Angeles.

I didn't either, and then
one thing led to another,

and now here I am,
booking a hot yoga class

while drinking
a kale pressed juice.

I'm almost a local.

- That's not something to aspire to.
- Ah.

You've been here
a fair amount of time.

So let's cut to the chase.

Should this team be disbanded
or not?

You've wanted to know
for a long time

if this team is dangerous,
operating outside of the lines,

putting not only the citizens
but our organization at risk.

Right?

About sums it up.

You've sent

a long list of people out here
to get those answers.

A few, but only two
that I trust.

Thank you.

You presume that you accompany
Admiral Kilbride on that list?

You know,

they're a good team.

They're better
than good. They're

tip of the spear, top-notch.

They only want for one thing.

What's that?

Henrietta Lange.

I've never seen

such loyalty
in a command structure before.

Well, she handpicked them.

One of them, she practically
raised from childhood.

But my ten-dollar juice
is getting warm.

What's your official
recommendation?

(SIGHS)

Don't break them up.

Let them do
what they do.

They can operate without Hetty.

And without you?

Very well.

(CLEARS THROAT)
And, Louis, I, um...

I truly appreciate
you taking this assignment.

I know the timing
has been less than ideal.

How is Mariana doing?

I don't know.

She stopped letting me help her
about a month ago.

I've dealt with addiction
in my family.

If there is ever anything

I can do for you
or your daughter...

The worst part?

The person in the world
I want to help the most,

I can do the least for.

It's time to go home, Louis.

You guys stop
at the hospital?

We did. Elias's surgery
went perfectly.

Only lingering effects
should be a few scars.

He's a tough kid.

He's already talking
about getting back

on the wrestling mat.
Wow.

Jandre Els put this city through
hell for his own freedom.

Not just that.

I mean, he had Ross
disguise his escape

as an attack
by Islamic terrorists.

Yeah, well,
L.A. is so divided right now.

He knew another attack would
throw gas on the fire.

Mm-hmm.
He didn't care.

The fire and smoke
of the city burning

would have hid
his escape.

Except the city
didn't burn.

It did not.
