Agent Namazi,

I'm ONI Inspector
General Akhil Ali.

ONI! Stop!

Thought maybe you
could use some help.

This is how you help?

By letting him crash into you?

Does it look okay?

It's almost sundown.

Do you want to
break fast together?

Yeah. I'd love that.

Come on, I know a place.

You're a soldier.

You always have been,
you always will be.

What are you saying?

I'm saying, when you're
ready to put that drink down,

I will find you a job, soldier,

one befitting who
you really are.

Kensi?

Kensi, you got to wake up.

Kensi.

Kensi, you got to get up!

Kensi, come on!

Come on!

Kensi, you got to get up now!

Come on.

Kensi, wake up!

This feels so very wrong.

You know what to do,
Fatima. Establish your base.

Are you sure I'm
not hurting her?

It's not personal.

Good. Now drop your hips.

Fire.

Do what? It's not personal.

Beautiful.

Yes. Beautiful.

Okay, that's good for today.

Great job, Fatima.

Thanks, Jeremy. It
was an awesome class.

Uh, by the way, congrats on
opening up the second location.

I heard you guys are
blowing up over there.

It's been crazy.

We hired seven new instructors.

Herbie's a man on a mission
right now to grow this company.

Just don't forget to come
back and see us, okay?

We love working with you guys.

Your agency's the first
to give us a chance,

so we won't forget that.

Uh, what about me, Coach?

How'd I do?

You, uh...

stopped making

those weird squeaking sounds
whenever you were grabbed.

So, how do you feel?

I can't yet.

My entire body is still
numb, even my teeth.

Well, I'd say for your
first self-defense class,

you did... better
than expected.

Really? Mm-hmm.

Yeah. Keep it up and, uh,

soon you'll be taking
down a fleeing suspect

without breaking your nose.

I deserve that.

It was a nice morning,

all things considered.

Yeah, it was.

We should do it again.

I'd love to. Cool.

But maybe next time, uh,
we can just go for a walk.

I think I can do
that.

I have to go, uh...

I guess I'll... We should
get dinner tonight.

Unless your teeth
aren't up for it?

Huh.

Look at that, feeling
better already.

I'll pick you up later.

Great.

Can't do
anything about it, G.

It's genetics.

Still doesn't give you
the right to be a bully.

How am I being a bully?

I'm just using the seat
the way it was designed.

Oh.

So, now you're blaming your
bullying on a design flaw?

That-That's interesting.

Three seats, four armrests.

One passenger is supposed
to get two armrests.

Simple math. Is finding things

to complain about also
part of your genetics?

Come on. What's going on?

It's my first time
leaving my dad alone.

He's not gonna be alone.

He's gonna be with
his caretaker.

Constance.

Right. You told me that
since she got there

things have never been better.

It's true.

But I'm also close
enough to come home

if anything happens.

I can't do that when
I'm across the country.

So take him with you. I'm
sure he'd like to see Aiden.

That's out of the question.

Okay, then
you just need to trust

that everything
is gonna be okay.

'Cause if you don't, it's
gonna drive you crazy,

and then you're gonna
drive everyone else crazy.

And then you're gonna become
your dad.

Don't even joke about that.
I don't joke about the truth.

It's not true. I'm not
turning into my father.

All right, looks
like we have a case.

Uh, follow me, Mr. Hanna.

Hey, guys, what do we got?

Well, we received
a call from ONI

about a missing Navy
nuclear submariner.

Lieutenant Zahra Mahmad
is assigned to a fleet

anti-submarine warfare
training center in Point Loma,

but she spent the last two years

at a defense contractor
in El Segundo.

What's she been working on?

Her team's been developing

a new anti-detection technology
for the Navy's nuclear subs.

Access to technology like
that can make you a target.

When was the last
time someone saw her?

According to her CO,

she left early
yesterday afternoon

for personal reasons.

He realized last night

she wasn't returning
any phone calls

or texts, she didn't
check in the next day.

Her phone was offline,

so he figured there
was a problem.

It's been less than 24 hours.

There may be a legitimate reason

why she's not responding.

How do we know she's
actually missing?

Well, we don't.

But given her position and
access to classified intel,

ONI is not taking any chances.

Has anybody been over
there to check on her?

LAPD did a welfare check
this morning at her home.

She wasn't there.

She does have family nearby.

Her parents live in
Northridge, where she grew up.

They own a restaurant that
serves Afghan cuisine,

and the entire menu is in Dari.

Has anyone notified the family?

Not that I can tell.

All right, Sam and
I will go speak

to her CO, see if we can...

Actually, uh, Admiral
Kilbride is on his way

to the boatshed to
talk to them now.

Okay, then we'll, uh,
head over to her house.

See if LAPD missed something.

And, Fatima, since
you speak Dari,

why don't you go with Kensi and
Deeks to talk to the family?

Even if they don't
know where she is,

they may know something
that could lead us to her.

Yeah. Copy that.

Thank you, Agent Castor.
I'll take it from here.

You got it, Admiral.

Captain Alonso.

As you were.

Vice Admiral Hunt speaks
very highly of you.

The vice admiral is
being kind.

Vice Admiral Hunt
is many things.

Kind is not one of them.

I trust that

the compliment is as genuine
as it is well-deserved.

You don't seem to agree.

I've never been good with
compliments, Admiral.

Hmm.

Well, those with childhoods
like yours often aren't.

They never feel quite
deserving enough.

You read my file.

The thing about compliments is,

the more you embrace them,

the more you start
to believe them.

I've carried an edge
with me my whole life.

It's what got me here.

I won't allow it to be dulled.

NCIS could use a
leader of your caliber.

My understanding
is, OMS is gonna be

looking for a new CO soon.

Love to have you aboard.

Thank you, Admiral.

I'll consider that.

Now tell me about
Lieutenant Mahmad.

From what I read in her file,

she's everything you'd
want in a subordinate.

It's true.

I've never seen someone perform

at a level like
Lieutenant Mahmad.

She's one of the hardest workers

I've ever been around.

And yet suddenly she
has gone missing.

Now,

why do I get the feeling
that there is more to this

than the Navy has let on?

I now see why you and Vice
Admiral Hunt are so close.

You two think alike.

Last week Lieutenant Mahmad
was involved in a briefing

on a top secret recon mission.

And this is where you tell me

that you are not authorized
to divulge the details

of that mission.

My hands are tied, Admiral.

And this is where I
tell you to untie them.

I will not have

my team out there flying blind.

That's how mistakes get made.

All I can say...

is that the Navy is prepared
to do whatever it takes

to see this mission
through one way or another.

I can read between
lines, Captain,

but I cannot read minds.

If the mission has
been compromised,

instead of sending in stealth
submarines to obtain the intel,

it'll be SEAL Team TWO sent
into hostile territory.

Just how hostile are
we talking about?

Suicide mission.

Your team has 12 hours to
find Lieutenant Mahmad,

or that SEAL Team is going in.

Garage is clear.

No cameras either.

No sign of forced
entry or any struggle.

Yeah. Well, if something
happened to Zahra,

it doesn't look like
it happened here.

We don't even know if
she came home yesterday.

Aha.

What is it?

A safe.

Warrant doesn't cover that.

Yeah.

Uhp.

Rountree found a
Suspicious Activity Report

filed in Zahra's bank
account yesterday.

She cashed out over $20,000.

When was the last time you made
a large transaction in cash?

I haven't.

Check, wire, credit card.

Secure,

easier to carry,

easier to trace.

So maybe she wanted
to disappear.

$20,000 isn't
gonna last forever.

She'd have to figure out
a way to find more money.

Well, maybe she's
selling military secrets?

I think it's time for
Rountree to make a call

and get that warrant expanded.

What is that?

Something smells amazing.

Oh, I love Afghan
food.

Have you ever had it?
Evidently not like this.

I am missing out. Oh,
my gosh. Look at that.

Mm. Start with the aushak,

and then you got to
get the Kabuli pulao.

Ooh, and the kebabs. You
have to try the kebabs.

all the above.

There's Zahra's mom.

Hi. I am Special
Agent Kensi Blye.

This is Investigator Deeks.
This is Special Agent Namazi.

We're with NCIS.

I'm wondering if we could
ask you a few questions.

My apologies.

My wife's cooking is... amazing.

Her English, not so good.

Huh. I got the exact
opposite problem.

My wife's English...

Cooking?

I'm joking. He
knows I'm joking.

My name is Ahmad.

How can I help you?

Uh, as I said, uh,
we are from NCIS.

Uh, your daughter Zahra

was reported missing
this morning.

We were wondering
if you had any idea

where she might be.

When is the last time either
one of you had contact with her?

Uh, Saturday.

Uh, Zahra came over to
our house for dinner.

Did you notice anything
unusual about her behavior?

No. She was her normal self.

Did she say anything
that may suggest

she might be in trouble?

No, no, nothing like that.

She was happy.

I'm sorry, just a, just
a few more questions.

Zahra has a, has
a brother, yeah?

Yes. He's, uh,
studying in London

for his master's degree.

Are they close?

Yes, of course.

We are all very close.
Family is everything to us.

I'm sorry, is there anyone else

who could have
information about Zahra?

Yeah.

About 30 years ago,

before the war in Afghanistan,

we were forced from our
homes by the Taliban.

Our families fled to Pakistan,

but my wife and I
decided to come here

to chase our dream

of having a
restaurant in America

and raising our children

where they would be
safe from violence.

Yeah, I'm so sorry.

I know this is difficult.

I really do.

Zahra is our only daughter.

Please find her and bring
her back home to us.

Mina.

There's something about Zahra's
brother they're not telling us.

It was the way the mother
reacted when we asked about him.

We didn't even say his name.

Does that mean she
can speak English?

She definitely knew
what we were saying.

Then why act like she didn't?

Like, her daughter is missing.

We're just trying to find her.

I mean, it might have
nothing to do with Zahra.

It's possible she
just doesn't trust us.

And I get it.
My parents were immigrants.

They probably would've
done the same thing.

It took me joining NCIS for them

to finally trust
law enforcement.

And they live in Beverly Hills.

It's Kilbride. He
wants me back in Ops.

Doesn't seem like he's
in a good mood either.

Oh, that's just
baseline Kilbride.

Like "resting Kilbride mood."

You see what I, see
what I did right there?

No, but unfortunately
I heard it.

We should definitely head back

to Ops and dig into
Zahra's brother.

See if what you're saying
is true for them, too.

How's it going over there?

Fine.

Need any help?

I'm good.

Okay.

I'll just be over here.

Hmm?

You don't think I can
crack this safe, do you?

I'm just hoping you have it
open by, you know, Christmas.

That's something
your dad would say.

I don't even know why I try.

I don't either, but it's fun.

Hmm.

Insurance card,
vehicle registration,

toll road transponder.

All things that
should be in her car.

Well, maybe she sold it
to free up more cash.

Or maybe a friend borrowed it

or it's in the
shop. You know what?

I'll have Rountree
run a Kaleidoscope.

Check out all the
mechanics and body shops,

in case she took it in.

Who knows? By the time
he gets back to us,

maybe you'll even have
the...

You were saying?

You want a trophy?

Looks like a bunch of
jewelry. There's no cash.

There's an old watch,

a bunch of family heirlooms.

All portable and sentimental.

If she was trying to disappear,

those are things she
would have taken with her.

She definitely
would've taken this.

Maybe she was kidnapped.

Or she wants us
to think she was.

Hey, guys.

I just went through
Zahra's phone records.

Mostly calls from
her family, but...

she's been talking
to someone else.

A guy named Ted Brown.

I'm seeing daily calls
over the past seven months,

including yesterday morning.

Boyfriend?

Kens and Deeks
would have told us

if the parents had
mentioned a boyfriend.

Well, maybe she
didn't want to tell

her parents about it
until it got more serious.

Or she knew they wouldn't
approve. I just found out

that Ted has a sealed juvie
record and a ton of debt.

Everything from credit cards
to high-interest student loans.

If that's why she took out the
money, she may be helping him.

Or he's extorting her.

Or he's extorting her.

I just got my ass chewed

by the Undersecretary
of the Navy.

I don't like getting
my ass chewed.

Makes it uncomfortable to sit.

So tell me we have
made some progress

in finding Lieutenant Mahmad.

Well, we figured out
why no one's been

able to locate her car.
It's 'cause it's been

at a mechanic's shop
since last weekend.

How's she getting around?

The shop gave her a loaner.

We ran the plates.

The car pulled into a
parking structure downtown

about three hours after she
left the bank yesterday.

And where is it now?

Still there. Callen and Sam

are on their way to
check it out. All right.

What about this boyfriend?
Have we talked to him?

Kensi and Deeks just
pulled up to his house.

All
right, we have got

less than eight hours to
find Lieutenant Mahmad,

and there's still too
much we don't know.

Now, you get me some answers

before I have nothing
left to sit on.

Yes, sir.

You haven't said anything
since we left the restaurant.

Still thinking
about Afghan food?

No. I mean, yes, but that's
not what's bothering me.

Okay, what is it?

I just keep thinking
about what Fatima said,

about her parents not
trusting law enforcement.

They lived in one of the
wealthiest zip codes in America.

And that's how they felt.

Think about what Rosa's
gonna have to deal with.

Yeah, but Rosa has
us to help her.

Yeah, but we're not
always gonna be around.

No, I know, but...

all we can do is prepare
her as best we can,

and then it's up to her.

Kens? Yep, I see it.

Door's busted.

That's not good.

Kens?

He's got a pulse.

Rountree, we need
an ambulance now.

Building manager
said no one reported

seeing or hearing anything
suspicious yesterday.

He's gonna try and get us a
copy of the security footage.

What do you got? Car's clean.

Except for this. Found
this under the seat.

"Roger. 8 Broad"?

Roger could be a name.

Someone she came here to meet.

"8 Broad" could be
8th and Broadway.

That's only a couple
blocks from here.

Well, let's see
what's near there.

Here we go, currency exchange

near 8th and Broadway.

So she brought $20,000
in cash to a business

that is known for
being exploited

by criminals to launder money?

If someone named Roger
is working there,

he's got some explaining to do.

And here I thought getting
you back in the saddle

was gonna be a good thing.

I think I clean up
pretty well, Admiral.

No, I wasn't talking
about the jacket and tie.

Ooh.

They call it kombucha.

God bless you.

It's supposed to clear up

the bad bacteria in the gut.

Isn't that what
prune juice is for?

At least prune juice tastes
like something edible.

This stuff tastes like
flavored battery acid.

So how are things
at the Space Force?

No one's shooting
lasers at Martians,

if that's what you're asking.

I got no complaints.

Except for a shorter title.

Director of Warfare Integration

at the Space Systems Command

doesn't exactly
roll off the tongue.

Yeah, just have 'em
call you "boss."

Feels good to be alive again.

They don't see this or this.

They see this.

And this.

Make sure they don't see that.

So what's this all about?

Did you get your security
clearance reinstated yet?

As of last month.

So why do I get the
feeling this visit

wasn't to see if
I'm still sober?

Well, um,

because it isn't.

I am running into
roadblocks with the Navy

trying to get
information about a...

top secret mission.

And because I now have access

to sensitive compartmented
information across

all branches of the military...

I know that you don't owe me

or your country any debt...

You gonna keep blabbering
or are you gonna tell me

what the hell you need me to do?

Thanks.

Hey, what'd the hospital say?

Ted is in a coma.
It's touch and go.

But they'll call
us if he wakes up.

Is that his cell
phone? I think so.

Found it under the
couch, smashed.

Obviously somebody
didn't want him using it.

Well, hopefully the SIM
card is not destroyed

and we can get a clue off
of it. Um, any witnesses?

Um, just a crazy woman walking
around the neighborhood

with a Howdy Doody
puppet on her hand,

asking if she could
braid my hair.

Okay, that is a lot to
unpack. That's what I said.

On a positive note, though,
she did say there was

an SUV blocking her
driveway yesterday.

She reported it, so I'm
having Rountree track it down.

Okay.

So...

tortured and left for dead.

Yeah, this definitely
feels personal.

Ted owed a lot of money.

Maybe someone
called in that debt.

That would explain
Zahra's cash withdrawal.

Right? They hold Ted hostage.

She pays for his release.

Or he was tortured
to get to her.

I mean, if somebody
wanted to find Zahra,

what better way than to
go through her boyfriend?

And for that, he gets
tied up and beaten

to within an inch of his life.

I mean, look, it's obvious

how much he loved her.

He would do anything
to protect her.

Even risk his own life.

So I guess the question is,

did they get what they came for?

Fatima has the parking
garage security footage.

She's going through that now.

What can I do you for, fellas?

Roger? Yeah.

We're investigating

the disappearance of
a naval lieutenant

by the name of Zahra Mahmad?

She may have come
in here yesterday.

Uh, never seen her before.

You mind if we see
the security cameras?

Oh, I don't got any.

You know, Big Brother
and everything? Ah.

Mm-hmm.

So that, uh...

fake plant here...

that's not a camera?

I read that plants
reduce stress.

Even the fake ones.

Mm-hmm, let me guess.

This just tells time?

Well, punctuality is
the politeness of kings.

Wow.

And that owl that's

just watching me?

Got a mind of its own.

I think there's something
on these cameras

he doesn't want us to see.

And I'm still wondering

why Zahra passed by a dozen

currency exchanges
on her way here.

What's so special
about this place?

Customer service?

No, I think
it has something

to do with the note that
we found in her car.

You mean the one with Roger's
name on it? That's the one.

And the fact that her car is
still here, that would mean

that Roger was the last person

to see her before
she disappeared.

All right, hold on
a second, fellas.

That makes him a
potential accessory

to the kidnapping
of a Navy officer.

Okay, okay.
I met with her.

She came in about a
week ago. So what?

What did she want?

I have what you might
call a side hustle.

For people who want
to send money overseas

but don't want Uncle
Sam knowing about it.

You're a hawala broker?

You say that as if it's illegal.

It is if you're not
licensed and registered.

Or if you're not
reporting the income.

Can we get back to
your line of questioning?

Who'd she send it to?

Well, that's the beauty of
hawala... I don't get names.

I only know it's
someone in Pakistan.

How much did she give you?

Nothing. She was
supposed to show up here

yesterday with the
money but never made it.

Hey, anything on the SUV
parked outside of Ted's house?

Yes. Do you want
the good news first?

I hate
this game. Sure.

I found the SUV.
It's a rental.

Okay. Bad news?

Can't trace the
guy who rented it.

He used cash and a fake ID.

What? What kind of car
rental agency accepts cash?

The kind that rents
SUVs to criminals.

Okay, so it's not really
good news, only bad news.

Yeah, but these
guys aren't really

giving us much to go off of.

I mean, all we know is where
they picked up the SUV.

But they probably didn't drive
themselves to pick it up, right?

They may have been dropped off?

I'm gonna check
with taxi companies

and rideshare services
and see if they

dropped any passengers
there. Okay.

Zahra has family in Pakistan.

Maybe that's who she was
sending the money to.

Except the kidnappers
got to her first.

Must have followed her here.
Or knew she was coming.

Hey, Callen, Sam?

Looks like Zahra's
kidnappers are

the same guys who got to Ted.

They grabbed her right
after she parked, threw her

into the SUV, and sped off.

Did you
get a look at 'em?

Two guys and a driver
all wearing masks.

These guys were fast,
efficient, and organized.

Zahra didn't stand a chance.

Sound like professionals.

Whoever they are,

they were well-armed

when they took Zahra.

So it looks like whoever beat
up Ted also kidnapped Zahra.

Rountree's still working
on getting an ID.

Damn it!

Careful, you don't want to
Pretty Woman that thing.

"Slippery little suckers."

You want to give it
a shot? No, I don't.

Okay, what a gentleman. Hey.

Hey.

Oh, you know what movie scene
this totally reminds me of?

"Slippery little suckers." Yes.
I'm all about the classics.

Hmm. Didn't realize I was
performing for Siskel and Ebert.

Don't hate the players, hate the game.
That doesn't even make any sense.

Sweetheart, here,
why don't you try?

Okay, fine, I will. Good luck.

Okay.
What do you have?

So, I was finally able to get

in touch with
Zahra's brother Omar.

Who is in London at university?

Not anymore. The school says
he dropped out last year.

He's been living in San
Francisco ever since.

Well, that is weird. You'd think
his parents would've mentioned

that little nugget.

Yeah, I don't think they know.

Omar says he hasn't
talked to them in years.

Okay, but his dad said

that they are very
close. What happened?

He wouldn't get into
specifics, but it's clear

it all stems from their
different views on Islam.

Now, the parents believe in

a strict adherence to the
Koran, and any deviation

from it is a violation
of Islamic law.

Omar says he used to
be beaten as a kid

for being "too Westernized."

Okay, I think

we need to go back
to the restaurant

and talk to the parents.

I'm gonna take Fatima with me
in case just the mother's there

and she decides not to
speak English again.

Do you mind staying behind
and digging into the parents?

Copy that.

Let me just get this, uh,

SIM card out. Yeah, no.

How's that working out for you?

Yeah, that's not how you do it.

I'm doing great. Oh, no.

I'm so sorry. You guys,
I'm doing great. I'm fine.

I don't need your... yeah.

I got...! No, I don't have it.

Yo! Weren't you
the last one to use

that tiny flathead screwdriver?

Huh? Wait, what?

Who's that?

Meet your SUV renter.

Muhammad Hasan.

He's from Texas.
How'd you find him?

Well, it's kind of a long story.

Oh. The rental agency

didn't require a credit card.

But I was able to find
the rideshare vehicle

he was dropped off in, and
they did require a credit card.

Oh, that's good...
So guess what I did.

No. TMI. I went ahead and...

Way TMI.

Just what's the connection
between this guy

and Ted and Zahra?

Uh, I haven't found one yet.

Hmm. Except religion.

Tell me more. All right, so...

Zahra's Muslim,
and Hasan has been

a member of an
ultra-conservative

Islamic sect.

I was able to trace
his email back

to a series of online
message board posts.

All of these were made
within the last year.

So he broke off to form
an Islamist militia group

with other members of the sect.

You think they're after
Zahra for the Navy intel?

I think we have to assume
so until we learn otherwise.

But, regardless, we need
to ID the other two men

that are with him, so you
know what we should do?

Put in a call to the
FBI office in Dallas

and see if they can
tell us anything

about these two guys
and/or the militia group.

We need to hurry.

Why? Hasan's credit card was
used to book a round trip

flight from Houston to L.A.

He landed three days ago
and he's leaving tonight.

So whatever they came to do,

they're finishing it today.

Copy that.

Looks like Zahra's
kidnappers may have ties

to an Islamist militia
group in Texas.

Well, it makes sense.
They're trained.

Still not seeing the connection

to her work with the Navy.

I'm not sure that
it is or that it has

any connection to
the recon mission.

Your instincts
are spot-on, gentlemen.

The mission is to obtain intel

on Russian military
activity in the Arctic.

The Navy believes
that Russia may be

trying to stage nuclear
weapons across the region,

and for obvious reasons

they need to know
if that is true.

And what was
Zahra's involvement?

It was limited to discussions
of the capabilities

of the anti-detection technology

that her team came up with.

She was never made aware

of the details of the mission.

So the militia group is after
her for some other reason.

How did you find this out?

How do I find anything
out, Agent Callen?

Now, our case

may not be the Navy's
mission, but our mission

Get Lieutenant Mahmad

back alive.

Clock is ticking.

Godspeed.

Tell me you're having
better luck than we are.

Well, I don't know about
that, but I just found out

that Zahra's father
booked a hotel suite

in Islamabad, Pakistan
for later this year.

Evidently he's going to
some sort of wedding.

Who's getting married? I don't
know. I'm looking into that now.

But it's somebody close to
a man named Bashir Khan.

Because he is paying
for everything.

Never heard of him. Yeah,
well, neither had I.

I looked him up.
He owns the biggest

farm equipment
manufacturer in Pakistan.

Wait a
minute, this can't be right.

The wedding invite has...

Khan's son marrying Zahra.

Well, I think when Ted wakes up,

he may have a little
something to say about that.

You think that's why
they tried to kill him?

That he was in the way?

You think that Khan
is behind all this?

No.

So what are you thinking?

Zahra's Muslim.

Ted's not.

Under traditional Islamic law,

she can't marry him.
It's not allowed.

But arranged marriages are.

This could be the
parents' way of ensuring

she marries a Muslim.

They may have hired
the kidnappers

to take her back to Pakistan.

Except she wasn't on board

with that plan for
some strange reason.

I bet that's what
the money was for.

Khan's a businessman.

Zahra was trying
to buy her freedom.

If she refused
the marriage,

it could be seen as
dishonoring her family.

They'd be shunned by
the whole community.

Unless they restored
their honor.

What, are you kidding me?

You, you think this
is an honor killing?

As far as we know,
Zahra's still alive.

But that could change if
we don't find her fast.

Where are Fatima and Kensi?

They should be at
the restaurant.

Whoa.

Oh, my gosh. What...?

Give them the heads
up the parents may be

in on this, tell 'em
we're on our way there.

Absolutely, I'm coming with you.

No, you are not, Mr. Deeks.

I need you there until I return.

No, no, Admiral...
It's not a request.

Hello?

Rountree, we need
an ambulance now.

Kensi,
Fatima, be on alert.

The parents may be involved.

There might be
someone else here.

Federal agents.

Drop your weapon now.

You first.

Uh, Callen, Sam?

What do you got, Rountree?

The FBI sent over a list

of those militia group members.

You know the guy who flew
over to kidnap Zahra,

Muhammad Hasan? It's her cousin.

- You sure about that?
- Yeah.

And she's got two more cousins
in the same militia group.

Were they on that flight?

Trust me.

You won't even
get one round off.

Yes.

I won't need to.

Muhammad?

It doesn't have to be like this.

Kensi, Fatima, we're
ten minutes out.

Damn it, they don't
have ten minutes!

I won't ask again.

- Drop your weapons!
- All right!

Okay.

Okay.

What happened? Kensi,
Fatima, do you copy?

Son of a bitch.

Kensi!

Go ahead, Rountree.

So, I'm showing that the Audi

is still parked at the
restaurant, but Kensi

and Fatima's trackers went
offline about a mile from there.

They're on the move.
Zahra's cousins must have

found the trackers
and dumped them.

Yo, this shouldn't
have happened.

Hey, you're right, okay?

But if we lose our heads
we're not gonna find them.

Rountree, which direction did they
go? Uh, south, towards the 10.

And the 110... also
technically the 5.

There's no way of knowing
where these guys are going.

They're headed to wherever
they've been keeping Zahra.

But we don't know where that is.

I got something... the
cousins' father, Zahra's uncle.

He owns a junkyard
business in Pakistan.

But he just bought two
locations in the U.S.,

one in Wilmington,
near Long Beach.

That's got to be it. Send
us the address. Done.

Hold on.

Come on, Kensi,
wake up!

Wake up!

They got to be in that car.

Then they don't
have much time.

Okay, okay.

Guys, we're gonna
get you out of there.

Callen!

Damn it.

No, Deeks!

Mr. Deeks. Not
this time, Admiral.

You'll never make it.

But if Agents Callen and Hanna

are able to reach them,

they will still need to find
a way to put that fire out.

I only see two of 'em.

The other one's got
to be with Zahra.

There's got to be
a fire extinguisher

around here somewhere.

Okay, the main building
has a back entrance.

There's a fire extinguisher

right inside that door.

That's around this corner.

We got to go now.

Cover me. Cover me.

Jammed!

Damn it!

No, no!

Fatima, Kensi, you got
to get out of there!

Kensi?

Kensi, wake up. This
car's about to blow.

Come on.

Oh, my God.

It's at the gas tank.

I see 'em! They're okay!

Thank God.

Don't thank him yet.

That's Zahra.

We can't let them
get to the SUV.

As soon as he sees
us, he'll shoot us.

Well, then we won't
let him see us.

Get up!

Hey!

You're about to get your
ass kicked by a woman.

Bitch.

Zahra, you're
okay. We got you.

You're okay, we got
you. Come on, come on.

You're safe now.

It's okay.

And they freakin' sent
a search party looking for me.

Ridiculous.

After all that time,
where'd they find you?

Walking out of the
latrine.

And what'd you tell
'em? The truth.

It was the kombucha.

I should get out of here.

Otherwise...

we'll end up in a bar.

Those days are behind me.

Listen, Colonel.

I know what a risk you took
getting that information

for me.

It's not something
I take for granted.

I only have something to risk

because of you, Admiral.

I got your back.

Always.

What do we know?

Long Beach PD found texts

between Lieutenant
Mahmad's cousins

and her uncle in Pakistan.

Looks like he was the
one pulling the strings.

Her parents had nothing
to do with it. Wow.

Hey. Hey.

Can we never do that again?

Just shut up and
hold me, please.

How is Zahra?

A little shaken up, but,
uh, she'll be all right.

She's at the hospital with Ted.

He's awake now and
expected to make

a full recovery. Good, good.

- I'm glad to hear
that. - Yeah.

Finally news that's only good.

What?

Never mind. I'm just
gonna go finish up.

Where is Fatima?

What a day, huh?

Yeah, it's definitely one of
those that'll stick with you.

I just still can't get over the
fact that Zahra's own family

tried to have her
killed, and for what?

Because she wanted to be
with someone she loved

instead of a complete
and total stranger?

Yeah, and all in
the name of honor.

No, that's not
honor. That's fear.

Thought you
might like to know,

the recon mission went
off without a hitch.

All indications are
that it was a success.

So now that it's all over,

you want to tell us how
you found out about it?

I turned to an old friend.

Hetty?

I said friend.

You want to, want
to unpack that?

What is that?

Oh, what, this? This is the,
the bane of my existence.

The thorn in my flesh.

The proverbial...

You didn't get the
SIM card out either.

I got the SIM card out.

It was so badly damaged,
I could only read

the last text that Ted sent.

Yeah, what'd it say?

He told Zahra he loved her.

Hmm. Well...

I don't mean to burst
the, uh, love bubble,

but, uh, I'm really hungry.

You want some Afghan food?

I would love some kebabs.

In.

Kebabs, and then can we go down

the whole list of all the
things I can't describe

but my belly wants them?

I've spent

a lot of time staring
out at this water,

searching for answers.

Any tips?

I'm coming up empty.

You doing okay?

Physically? Yeah.

Emotionally, mentally
and spiritually?

I don't know
how to answer that.

Well, you don't need
to have the answers.

Not right now.

I just...

I keep thinking about all
the women out there...

not allowed to make
their own life choices.

What to wear.

Who to marry.

What they can and can't
do with their own bodies.

Freedom of thought,
freedom of choice.

It's terrifying to some people.

It's not fair.

The world will never be fair.

But it could be better.

Good things are happening.

Even though it doesn't
always feel like it.

I just wish they
would happen faster.

Progress
is neither swift

nor easy.

I can come back.

No, no, no, stay.

I got an early flight.

I need to pack.

Give it time.

The answers will come.

Rough day?

You could say that.

There's always tomorrow.

Yeah.

I know.

Do you still feel like dinner?

Yeah, yeah.

Just, um...

will you just give
me a minute? Yeah.

Take as long as you need.
