Looks like the strike
missed the building.

Just took off the top.

You know, there could be
live ones in there.

Stevens, Garcia, Levine,
post up and watch our six.

Everyone else, move in with me.

Copy that.

Building's clear. No intel.

Let's take a deer photo.

Everybody in.

I'm good, Chief.

I said everybody!

Move it, Kendricks.

All right.

♪ ♪

I'm buried.

DTS forms, incident
reports, expenses.

Mm. You let the paperwork
pile up.

I guess you have something else
taking up your time.

So now I get to endure

constant teasing
because I have a girlfriend?

- Is that it?
- Of course. What'd you expect?

A little birdie told me
you bought a salad spinner.

I like clean lettuce.

What's your point?

You're becoming domesticated.

In other words, you're in love.

- Okay...
- Next thing you know, you'll be buying duvets

- And going to wine tastings.
- Uh-huh.

Rountree.

You have saved me.

When I come here, it still feels
like I should be meeting Q

- from James Bond.
- Hate to burst your bubble,

But today is gonna be about as
exciting as eating rice cakes.

Or as painful as a root canal.

Today's paperwork day.

As a matter of fact, I
should probably get you

set up at a workstation...

Oh, so now you gonna make him do
your paperwork?

I got to see what he's made of,
I got to test his mettle.

I don't need my mettle tested.

I-I hate paperwork. I'm good.

We got a case.
And, no, I've neither seen

or spoken to Nell,
thank you very much.

Uh... just Callen and Sam
on this one.

Lieutenant Colonel MacKenzie.
This is a surprise.

Good to see you, Callen, Sam.

I wish it was under
better circumstances.

What's going on?

Please secure the room.

All right, everyone,
let's clear out.

We're secure.

Two days ago,
SECNAV ordered me to run point

on a very delicate
and disturbing case.

And this delicate case
was assigned to...

The NCIS Office
of Special Projects.

Your team is being ordered
to investigate

some serious allegations
by two Navy SEALs

against Special Warfare Chief
Petty Officer Thomas Argento.

Argento's SEALs
are in Los Angeles

specifically to speak
to you, Sam.

'Cause I'm a retired SEAL?

Well, within the teams,
you're a bit of a legend,

Before my partner's head
explodes,

would you mind telling us
what the allegations are?

Operators First Class Kendricks
and Barr claim Chief Argento

murdered an unarmed, unconscious
and injured Taliban prisoner

in cold blood.

This clearly violates
the Uniform Code

of Military Justice,

but it's also
an international war crime.

Kendricks and Barr are accusing
another SEAL of murder?

Yes.

All right, send us the location
of Kendricks and Barr

and keep us posted
on any updates.

Let me know what they tell you.

You okay?

(scoffs)

It's kind of hard to swallow,

given the character
of the men on the teams,

that one of them would execute
a prisoner... Taliban or not.

Well, if it is true,
are you prepared

to go after one of your own?

(exhales)

Kensi, Deeks, I need you
to escort two Navy SEALs,

Special Operators First
Class Kendricks and Barr,

to the boatshed.

Their photos and address
are in your phone.

Anything we should know?

They are witnesses

to a sensitive case,
who want to give statements.

All right. You got it.

CALLEN:
So, what do you
want to do now?

I need to understand
the man we're investigating.

ROUNTREE:
Married,

three tours
in Syria, Afghanistan.

This guy's a war hero.

Wife's related
to a senator from Virginia.

He's connected to Washington.

That's atypical for a SEAL.

CALLEN:
After action report
says that a lot

- of his kills came as a sniper.
- But he was never trained

As a sniper.

That's also unusual.

From the reports,
he was always positioned alone.

No spotter.
No witnesses to his kills.

But still, Argento was a warrior

that was willing to give
his life for his country.

Yeah... and so are his accusers.

(door opens)

(door closes)

Kendricks upstairs?

No, Kendricks left the hotel.
Barr didn't know where he went.

KENSI:
Barr also made it
perfectly clear

that he'll only talk to Senior
Chief Petty Officer Sam Hanna.

Special Operator First Class
Adam Barr.

Senior Chief Hanna.

Agent Hanna.

Sit.

Where's Special Warfare Operator
First Class Kendricks?

I don't know.
I woke up and he was gone.

You know why he left?

Look, I'm sure you know

that what happens in the teams
stays in the teams.

We are breaking a code
by coming forward.

This goes against everything
that I was taught and believe.

Accusing a fellow SEAL
of murder?

Yes.

DEEKS:
Wait.

That's what this is about?

Wow.

Kendricks backed out, but you're
so sure of these charges

that you feel absolutely
compelled to do this?

Destroy the character and career

of Chief Petty Officer Argento,

possibly put him
in the brig for life?

No. No, I'm not.

Excuse me?

Without Kendricks,
I-I'm not making a statement.

So now you'll let
a murderer go free?

Coming forward alone,
that is career suicide.

I mean, even with the two
of us testifying, Argento,

he would never be convicted.

We assumed,
when we made this decision,

that other men on the team,
they would... follow.

And now you're alone.

No, I'm not.

'Cause like I said,
I don't have anything to say.

(door closes)

What do you want to do?

We don't have anything
if he doesn't talk to us.

This is your call.

But if you ever wanted this
to go away, now is the time.

I know this isn't my place,

but if the truth
is what matters...

The truth is all that matters.

I'm not dropping this that fast.
Kensi, Deeks, find Kendricks.

- Good call.
- Yeah.

Barr is right.

The word of two team members
is not enough

for me or a military
court-martial.

Argento's team
is still in the field.

So what do we do now?

We're going to Afghanistan.

Af-Afghanistan Afghanistan?

There's only one.

So, uh, not a paperwork day.

No.

We're gonna need someone

on the inside over there.

I'm already working on it.

Thank you.

- I got it.
- Room?

Room 201.

(grunts)

It's open.

Special Warfare Operator
First Class Malcolm Kendricks,

this is NCIS, we just wanted
to ask... (shouts)

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Easy.

Easy's right.
What are you doing?

You tell me.

As he said, we're NCIS.

We've been talking
to Special Operator Barr.

We want to talk to you,

- you've been missing.
- So you can let go of my arm now.

(grunts)

Come in.

(door closes)

You want to explain
what the hell that was?

- You know why we're out here?
- KENSI: Yes, we do.

There's an accusation
against your team leader.

Chief Petty Officer Argento
found out

what we were doing, and he began
sending threatening texts.

He said he was sending people
to kill me.

We're gonna need
to see those texts.

Do you want to come in
and give a statement?

Listen, if Argento
killed a prisoner,

you got to say something.

(scoffs)
You don't get it.

Of course we get it.
The code of silence.

That's not what
I'm talking about.

It's not just the prisoner.

Chief Petty Officer Argento
also killed civilians.

The prisoner's just
the tip of the iceberg.

Listen, what's important for
both of you to understand

is you'll both be
completely protected.

Where's Agent Hanna?

Agent Hanna is on his
way to Afghanistan

to talk to the
rest of your team.

That at least should
give you faith

in his commitment to the truth.

But this start with you,
and it starts now.

Well, we're gonna need immunity.

Why would you need immunity?

Chief Argento has murdered
other civilians.

This has gone on for a while.

And we're not saying anything
unless we can protect ourselves

and our team
from being prosecuted for this.

How long has this been going on?

KENDRICKS:
My point exactly.

We're not saying anything

unless we have immunity
from prosecution.

CALLEN:
Frank.

FBI Special Agent
Devin Rountree.

- Welcome to Kandahar.
- Ah, thanks.

I was in Kabul
when I got your text.

Got down here a few hours ago.

You find anything?

Not here.
Follow me.

Chief Petty Officer Argento
has already been made aware

that NCIS is coming
to question him and his team.

How did that happen?

Argento has connections
to DIA, JAG, everywhere.

He's got personnel
in all branches of the military

that are loyal to him.

So as of right now,
these allegations...

Are just allegations.

Exactly.

Have a seat.

Argento took his team
into the field.

Command here at Kandahar

doesn't have a location
for them.

What, does he think
if we can't find him,

- we're just gonna leave?
- Maybe.

He's arrogant.

Word is, even if you find
his team,

- they aren't gonna answer your questions.
- Well, they're either

Loyal to Argento,
which makes them complicit,

- or they're...
- ROUNTREE: They're afraid.

Look, we already got word
that Argento threatened

the first two SEALs
that came forward.

Let's pull him out of the field
and take him into custody.

Young man, slow your roll.

The teams are my family.

And mine.

SEALs are men
of the highest character.

And right now we don't
have a sworn statement.

On this one, we look
before we leap.

You understand?

Understood.

I've spoken to some of my
Afghan intelligence contacts

down in Kandahar.

They told me about
an Afghan civilian,

a kid.
Jawan Yusufi.

Jawan claims to have seen
Argento kill the prisoner.

He works in the market
selling leather goods.

All right, let's find him.
Talk to him.

Then we find Chief Argento.

WALLACE:
Okay, but just be aware.

Argento knows you're here.

The streets of Kandahar
are his territory.

So you're telling us we
got to watch our backs?

Argento has access to a network
of military intel.

He probably tracked
your flight here.

He might even know

we're talking
to each other right now.

I don't want him finding us
or knowing who we're talking to

or where we've gone.

We should turn our trackers off.

Let's do it.
I'll notify Ops.

We are off the grid.
We're on our own now.

So, the opposite
of a paperwork day.

Looks that way.

(line ringing)

Thanks.

What did they say?

- Nothing much.
- They asked for immunity

In exchange
for their statements.

And do we know
if they were involved?

- We do not know.
- So they could have been

Party to the killing and are now

trying to save themselves.

Yes, they could be,
but one of them said

that he was receiving
threatening texts.

He even considered not
giving a statement.

We had to track him down just
to get him to tell us that.

Yes, which leads us to believe

that Kendricks and Barr are
both on the right side of this.

They also said that Argento
killed civilians.

Really?

We need to follow through
with this.

We believe the immunity
should be granted.

Because of the gravely serious
nature of this case,

I'm gonna need to consult
with the General Counsel

of the Department of the Navy
and the Judge Advocate General

before immunity
is even considered.

(quietly):
Right. Okay.

Okay. Thanks.

(indistinct chatter)

There he is.

I got this.

ROUNTREE:
Jawan! Jawan!

Move, move, move!

Watch out.
Move.

Hey-hey-hey, easy, Jawan.

Easy, Jawan.
Easy, easy, easy.

(guns cocking)

Give up your weapons or he dies.

SAM:
We just want to talk to Jawan.
He's not in any trouble.

The next one I put in his knee.

We understand.

And the sidearms.

I told you to look
before you leap.

(sighs) You have to understand
that there is a lot of pressure

from higher-ups
to squash this investigation

before it starts.

Pressure from who, from SECNAV?

Let's just say it's way
above her pay grade.

Murder charges against
a Navy SEAL are big headlines,

the kind of thing
that could change the outcome

of an election.

I'm gonna try to shield
your office from this

so that you can do your jobs.

That is much appreciated,
thank you.

Yeah, we're in
this foxhole together.

And to that end,
I spoke to general counsel.

What'd they say?

There will be no grants
of immunity at this time.

It's too risky.

Listen, if we don't
grant immunity,

they're not gonna talk.

I need to know
they're telling the truth

before I give them
a "get out of jail free" card.

Yeah. O-Okay.

- I will see you in three hours.
- Yep, see you then.

See you.

So, listen, right now

Barr and Kendricks
are this entire case.

We got to get them
to talk off the record,

determine if they're lying,
or...

We have no case.

- Kensi? Deeks?
- Hey.

- I need to speak to both of you right away.
- We're on our way.

Hey.

Callen and Sam turned off
their trackers

almost as soon as they landed.

- Why?
- They figured Chief Petty Officer Argento

Might somehow find a way
to access their location.

And they were supposed
to check in every three hours.

They just missed
their second window.

So what you're saying is,
we have no idea where they are.

They were heading into Kandahar,

into a marketplace here.

Where's Argento's team now?

Command in Kandahar
hasn't heard from them

in over 36 hours.

Wait a minute.
Are-are we saying that,

that Argento could have located
Sam and Callen?

They routinely hunt down
Taliban insurgents;

a group of NCIS agents
would probably be easier.

I mean, anything can happen
in the middle of Kandahar,

it's the freakin' Wild West
over there.

Look, just find Argento's
SEAL team,

- do whatever it takes.
- Do you think they would go after our guys?

Honestly, I have no idea.
We'll be in the boatshed.

(speaking Farsi)

What's he saying?

That's the father of the
prisoner Argento killed.

(speaking Farsi)

Jawan is telling the father

he saw the American
kill his son.

You want to turn us
over to Taliban?

Most likely.

Paperwork sounds
really dope right about now.

We came here to
hear Jawan's story.

We want to know what
happened to this man's son.

An American killed him.

But which American?

What difference does it make?

All the difference in the world.

We are trying to find the truth.

Please let us speak with Jawan.

Tell it to the Taliban.

If we're killed,
there'll be no justice

for this man or his son.

DEEKS:
You're gonna have
to trust us.

When we say it's off the record,
that is exactly what we mean.

Nothing is recorded, nothing
is admissible in court.

Okay.

All right.
Let's do it.

All right, we got
to separate you two.

Why?

KENSI:
Why?

Because we have to make sure
that your story tracks.

There can't be
any discrepancies.

- (exhales)
- DEEKS: Let's do it.

Come on.

(speaking Farsi)

"After the explosion,
I went to the building.

"I looked in

"through the window.

"I saw Samer.

His leg was injured, but
he said he was okay."

"Then I heard
the Americans coming."

BARR:
On December 19,

our team ordered an air strike
on a building

that was a suspected
Taliban location.

KENDRICKS:
Minutes after the strike,

Chief Petty Officer Argento
led us inside

the targeted building.

And who's "us"?

Kendricks, myself, Moffet,

Owens, Cole, Peters...

and Chief Argento.

(Jawan speaking Farsi)

"Two soldiers were on the ground
next to him,

giving him
medical aid."

(Kendricks speaking Farsi)

KENDRICKS:
We met a man
still alive inside.

BARR:
He admitted to being a member
of the Taliban.

Said he was a cleric.

He told us his name was Samer.

BARR:
I needed to place a tourniquet

and pack off an artery
in his thigh.

You administer the morphine.
I got to pack off his wound.

Barr told me to sedate him

so that he could pack
the bleeding artery

deep in his leg.

To clarify, he was sedated.

Yes.

Big dose of morphine.
Like a twilight sleep.

BARR:
So I secured the tourniquet

and I packed off the wound.

And he was going to be okay?

I told
Chief Petty Officer Argento

the prisoner was going
to be fine.

We were about to take him
back to the Humvee

when Chief Petty Officer
Argento...

- BARR: Told Kendricks to stand up.
- Stand up. Get out of here.

(speaking Farsi)

KHALIL:
"The American leader
went on the floor,

kneeled down
right next to him."

And told me to turn off
my vest camera.

Shut off the cam.

Everybody, cameras off.

(camera beeps)

And then Argento
took out his hunting knife.

"He stabbed him in the chest
over and over."

It was like a sewing machine.
Maybe, uh, eight times.

How many times?
I need an estimate.

Six or eight.

It was crazy.

- (speaks Farsi)
- "Was terrible."

- I said, "What the hell are you doing?"
- What are you doing?

Doing what we do.

(scoffs)
He told me...

"Doing what we do."

And the prisoner was
gonna be fine.

He had intel that we could've
gotten from him,

but Argento...

Just wanted the kill.

One more body for his tally.

KHALIL:
"I couldn't believe

"what I saw.

"In the past,

when I spoke with Americans,
they were good to me."

- (Jawan continues in Farsi)
- "Once, two soldiers

"helped my father with
his truck when it broke down.

Samer was just lying down..."

"and he killed him."

(sobbing)

(sniffles)

(sobbing)

And then what happened?

Argento, he dragged
the prisoner's body outside.

He wanted to get a photo.

None of us wanted to be
in that, but...

he demanded that we were.

KENDRICKS: He told one of the
team members who wasn't inside

that he got a good story
with this kill.

He got him with a hunting knife.

Like it was some kind of fight.

When he was a prisoner...

who was sedated.

Thing is, this wasn't

the first time.

BARR:
Cole had talked about seeing

Argento taking out an old man.

(panting)

(gunshot)

KENDRICKS: He shot the guy in
the back while he was running.

Several members of the team

saw it from their sniper's nest.

And he shot a young woman.

A girl.
She was with her friends.

(exhales)

I saw that with my own eyes.

And he just...

(women gasping)

He just shot her for no reason.

Why would somebody do that?

Why'd he do any of it?

I don't know.

- DEEKS: Hey.
- Did they speak to you?

Yes, but it's all
off the record.

- And?
- DEEKS: Story tracks.

Dates, times,
everything lines up.

It's not just
the Taliban prisoner.

- Argento killed a young woman and an old man.
- And there was

No strategic or
tactical motivation.

- They were just civilians.
- And you believed them?

Every word of it.

This is just like the case

against Chief Petty Officer
Eddie Gallagher.

Pretty much.

I was hoping
this one wasn't true.

Look, if we're hesitating
because Argento's a SEAL,

then we need
to get that out of our heads.

As far as I'm concerned,
after everything he's done,

he's lost his trident.

DEEKS: We're dealing
with a serial killer,

plain and simple.

- I understand.
- And he's obstructed this investigation

By threatening the lives
of other SEALs.

The pressure coming from above
is immense.

Pressure from who?

Argento's wife is
the cousin of a senator.

- You can imagine how far up this goes.
- So you're saying

- We're not gonna do our jobs over fear of reprisal.
- I didn't say that.

You need to know
what we're up against.

DEEKS:
Okay. Then noted.

Let's give Barr and
Kendricks immunity.

Let's get their statements
on record.

These men were courageous.
They stood up.

As should we.

We're about to cross
a minefield, Agent Blye.

We can't make a misstep on this.

It is your career,

my career,

possibly the future of
the Office of Special Projects.

Was there a reason
he stabbed Samer?

(speaks Farsi)

No.

Samer didn't try to take
the leader's weapon and run?

(speaking Farsi)

(speaking Farsi)

He was unconscious.

The other Americans

asked the leader why he did it.

They were upset with him.

So the others weren't
a party to it.

(Khalil speaking Farsi)

(speaking angrily)

What did he say?

He said they were party to it

because they
didn't try to stop it.

WALLACE:
It happened very quickly.

They were surprised.
There was nothing they could do.

(speaks Farsi)

You really believe that?

CALLEN:
Tell him

we can convict the man
who did this to his son.

We can put his son's killer
behind bars

the rest of his life.

(speaks Farsi)

(spits)

We will have a meeting
to decide your fate.

(speaks Farsi)

(speaks Farsi)

That's the building.

Stay here.

Copy that.

They still in there?

This whole time.

How many?

What do they look like?

Four.

Three black, one white.

That's them.

I believe they're being
held prisoner in the basement.

You don't know me.
You never told me

about the Americans.

And you don't know me.

Everything works both ways.

See you.

ARGENTO:
Let's huddle up.

Bring it in, come on.

We got eight to 12
possible Taliban insurgents

in the basement.

Heavily armed:

AKs, rocket-propelled grenades.

Let's hit 'em hard,
smoke 'em out.

They hunker down,
I'll call in a strike.

Sounds beautiful.

Shoot first,
ask questions later.

No one gets out alive.

Get in position.

FATIMA:
Hey.

Team just missed
their third check-in.

Should we start searching
for them?

No. It'll go wide.

Argento will know
where they are.

You guys need
to see this right now.

I think I found
Argento's SEAL team.

It's the only one
of seven units this size

operating in the streets
of Kandahar right now.

I've identified six of them.

This is the only one
that's operating black.

MacKENZIE:
Looks like
they're positioning themselves

- to attack that building.
- It's only

Two blocks away from where
Callen and Sam were headed.

That's not good. Argento
may have tracked them there.

I think you need to...

Order a Marine
quick reaction force

to that location.

And get Argento's team
out of the field now.

This is Lieutenant Colonel
Sarah MacKenzie.

Connect me to SECNAV now.

(speaking quietly in Farsi)

Can anybody figure out
what they're saying?

I can't hear 'em.

How you enjoying NCIS Office
of Special Projects so far?

Well, first day, I
almost got blown up.

Yeah, you're welcome.

ROUNTREE:
Second day looks like

I'm about to be beheaded.

Beats paperwork.

I don't know,

- I kind of like my head.
- Come on, man,

This kicks the FBI's ass.

(chuckles)

(automatic gunfire)

We have Americans!

We have American prisoners!
We have Americans!

Hold your fire!

He said he's got Americans!
Hold your fire!

COLE:
Hold your fire!

He said he's got Americans!

Hold your fire.

I say again: hold your fire.

KHALIL:
We have Americans!

COLE: Hold your fire!
He said he's got Americans!

Hold your fire!

- (gunfire stops)
- We have Americans!

And we will kill them
if you continue to fire on us!

What do you think, Chief?

He's bluffing.

There's no Americans
in this area.

Yeah, true that.

Copy that, Chief.

COLE:
What do you want to do?

Blow 'em to hell comes to mind.

Yeah, I like the sound of that.

Let me talk to them.
If you don't,

they won't believe there are
any Americans inside here.

(speaks Farsi)

I recognize one of the men.
It's Argento's team.

- They found us.
- That's not good.

We're in a really dangerous
position here.

His men could claim they didn't
know we were in here.

Then call in an air strike.

Yeah, we become another
friendly-fire statistic.

Investigation closed.

(gunfire)

I need these guys
to take me outside

so I can negotiate
with the team.

Yeah? What if the teams
are in on it?

You'll be a sitting duck!

You heard the kid say
the members of the team

don't agree with Argento.

Argento's men might think
they're complicit

because they haven't
come forward.

Well, then, it becomes a choice
between them killing us or...

Them going to prison for
the rest of their lives.

That might not work out
so well for us.

SAM:
Look, I believe
with all my heart

in the character of
the men in these teams.

I'm going to do this.
Take me outside!

These men know me.
They'll listen to me.

You can have a gun on me
the whole time.

I can stop this attack!

Cease fire!

Cease fire!

Cease fire!

Cease fire.

Cease fire. Cease fire.

Cease fire.

Cease fire!

Cease fire!

I'm NCIS Agent Sam Hanna.

Cease fire!

I heard of Chief Hanna.

SAM:
There are three
other Americans inside.

An NCIS agent, an FBI agent,

and Chief Petty Officer
Frank Wallace.

I'm retired Senior Chief

Petty Officer Sam Hanna
of SEAL Team Six.

The Afghan men inside
have done nothing wrong.

- This can end peacefully.
- This could be anything.

- They're just scared.
- They could have this guy wired

With C-4.

If this is the same Chief Hanna,
he's a serious badass.

The guy's like a legend.

Yeah, I heard of him, too.

Hell of a team member.

We're gonna get
him out of there.

We take out these insurgents.

Cole, you secure Agent Hanna.

The rest of us will push forward

and assault the building.

That's going to be a bloodbath.

I'm giving you a direct order,
Petty Officer Cole.

Let me know it was received.

Copy that, Chief.

(grunts)

Pick a man.

I've got the one
directly left of Hanna.

COLE:
Chief, just see
if they'll release them first.

On my command.

Hanna said they aren't Taliban.

Cole, they said they will
execute the American prisoners.

We need to take them out now
and assault the building.

I've got the one to the right
of the prisoner.

MOFFET:
I'll take the one
to the far right.

Thank you, ma'am.

SECNAV is personally into it.

The quick reaction
force is rolling,

but it's gonna take 20
minutes to get them there.

That's too long.

If you let them walk, we'll be
released, I promise you.

MOFFET:
Are we doing this, Chief?

What's going on?

Khalil, tell them.

On my command.

SAM:
Tell them.

Three,

two...

You are not gonna kill
any Americans.

Put down your weapons, let the
American prisoners walk away,

and you will be released.

Take them out.
Now, now, now, now.

Disregard that command.
Do not fire.

This is a direct order.

MOFFET:
Disregard. Do not fire.

SAM:
The offer doesn't get
any better than that.

I'll vouch for you.
You have my word.

(speaking Farsi)

Go, go, go. You're free.

Go.

They are surrendering.
Do not fire.

Your career is over, Moffet.

And stay out of the streets
at night,

'cause one day I will find you
and put you in the ground.

Bring it.

(Khalil speaking Farsi)

COLE:
Hands in the air!

Put your hands in the air!

Stay where you are! Don't move!

Hands in the air!

- Hands up! Hands!
- They're not Taliban.

They're not Taliban. Let 'em go.

WALLACE:
Listen to him.

Listen to him. Let 'em go.

Go ahead.

You're free to go.
Go, go. Get out of here.

(speaking Farsi)

You and your men all right?

We're fine.

Glad you're okay.

Chief Petty Officer Argento?

You're welcome.

Yeah.

Get this guy off me!

You're now in the custody
of NCIS.

That's an order.

- I said get him off me!
- Now let me remind you

Of your Article 31 rights.

You have the right
to remain silent.

Anything you say can
and will be used against you

in a court-martial.

Please stand. Raise
your right hand.

Do you swear that this statement
you have provided is true

and accurate to the best of
your beliefs, so help you God?

I do.

Thank you.

Please raise your right hand.

Do you swear that this statement
you've provided is true

and accurate to the best of your
knowledge, so help you God?

Yes, ma'am. I do.

Do you swear this statement
you've provided is true

and accurate to the best of
your belief, so help you God?

I do.

SAM:
Do you swear that the statement
you've provided is true

and accurate to the best of
your belief, so help you God?

I do.

That's not easy to do.

No, it's not.

But it's the right thing to do.

Yes, it is.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Sam, Callen. How'd it go?

Five members of Argento's team

made statements
incriminating him.

Good.

The only easy day...

Was yesterday.

Hey. Take care.

- All right.
- Keep safe out here.

Yeah, we got a nice little bar

in L.A.

You find yourself in town,

we're gonna buy you
a drink to thank you.

Gonna need a lot more than one.

(chuckles)

Look forward to it.

Flight's ready.
Wheels up in ten.

We wanted to talk to you.
Come here.

Yeah.

Running into that building

wasn't the smartest thing
I've ever seen.

No, it wasn't.

Today could have ended
very differently.

Yeah, I know. I'm sorry.

The thing is, we run into a
lot of buildings like that.

We worry about what's right

before we worry
about what's safe.

That makes us think

you just might fit into
the Office of Special Projects.

We want you to be
a part of this team.

(laughs softly)

I'm-I'm honored
that you guys would think

I could measure up
to the both of you.

You'll never measure up
to both of us.

- Yeah.
- Get that out of your head.

- (laughs)
- The phrase "pale imitation" comes to mind.

Wow, uh, okay, uh...
(chuckles)

Thanks for the encouragement,
uh, but...

- I...
- But what?

I need to think about it.

Um...

You know, this, this team,
it moves as a family.

It has a very
"all in" vibe, and...

I don't take joining
a family too lightly.

Neither do we.

For a lot of reasons.

Thank you.

And just so you know,
if you decide to join,

you won't be immediate family.

More like a second cousin.

- (laughs)
- Yeah, once removed.

(chuckles)
All right.

Hey.

SAM:
I'll take it from here.

I got him.

It's just me and you now.

You know you're
going down, right?

Off the record,
nothing you've done here

has anything to do with being a
warrior, a SEAL or an American.

You've betrayed everything
that the military

and the teams stand for.

You're never gonna convict me.

We'll talk after the trial.
