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

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

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

Ren e 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.

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.

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...

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.

D j 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...

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.

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.

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...

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.

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.

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?

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.

Speaking of crazy.

Still no match.

On every local,
global, criminal,

and civilian database we've got.

We are looking at a ghost.

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 Ren e 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.

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.
- 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.

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?
- 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.

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!

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?

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?

"Russian defector

Ilya Sokolov, 1985."

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.

Wherever he is, find him.

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.

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.

Won't need
it, hopefully.

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

Hey, Ducky.

Ah.

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.

Mr. Kuryakin?

Parker.

Dead. And still warm.

Damn.

Poor old man was
tortured to death.

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?

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.

It's Jimmy.

I'll go.

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?

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.

Oh, Nick,

please don't say anything...

Hey, I'm kidding. Relax.

Believe me, I will
gladly stay out of it.

For now.

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?

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.

Oh, yeah, sure, your
typical workday,

Got it.

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...

Ooh, as a matter
of fact, they are.

Looks like

top secret National
Archive files.

Oh, wait.

What are those here?

Is that Senator Miller?

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?

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.

Still, I was thinking, uh,

maybe McGee or
really anyone but...

Nope. She's all yours.

Oh, man, this is
gonna be so good.

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.

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

And then there's
accusing me of...

Well, now I just feel dirty.

Yeah. Me, too.

Yeah, we
shouldn't even be here.

What the hell?

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.

Bad news from Interpol.

John and Ren e 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.

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.

Uh...

So, I know this is, uh,

hardly the time or place, uh,

but now that I have you
all here...

and you want some
good news, um...

here it is.

Here what is?

I love you, too, Jimmy.

Hello?

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.

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.

Knight, Torres,
we got her out back

by the delivery entrance.

Roger that.
The delivery entrance?

To avoid meddlers.

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. - 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.

But not to deny
an American prisoner

a chance to come home.

Or you could save countless
lives by helping us.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Wait, you sure?

Quite sure.

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

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.
