1 [MAN] All these rocks,

you gotta take them over there.

[WORKER] Yeah, bring it back!

[ANGLE GRINDER BUZZES]

[MAN] Nah. Hey, I'm done.

It's your final warning.

Oh, Dean, please. Mate...

All right, show up on time

or don't show up at all.

Come on, Deano, all right?

One of the boys had their send-off last night

and things got...

[BURPS]

Things got real.

But I promise it'll never happen again.

Jackhammer, now.

Ohh. All right.

Ohh.

[JACKHAMMER THUMPS]

[WORKER] Good onya!

[DARK MUSIC]

Oh!

[LIGHT-HEARTED MUSIC]

[CHUCKLES]

Oi, lads. Check this out!

Play you a couple of tunes while you're digging some holes, boys.

[IMITATES PLAYING THE GUITAR]

[WORKER] Ohh!

[TENSE MUSIC]

[GRIM MUSIC]

[THEME MUSIC]

[MACKEY] I've waited a long time for this.

Sick.

Hey, yo, look out. What? Slide that on.

Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo! Yeah.

Looking fresh, looking tight, looking...

Puffy and yellow?

[ZIPPER BUZZES]

How do I look?

Like you're late for Pilates with the other mums.

Is that a gilet?

It's a high-vis performance vest, Mackey.

[DESHAWN] Ooh! Phoo!

- That is dope. - Yeah.

And functional, breathable, lightweight.

- Full range of motion. - [MACKEY] Okay.

Did look a little less yellow in the brochure, though.

[EVIE LAUGHS] Less yellow than what? A solar flare?

[DESHAWN] Yo, are these...

- [VELCRO SNAPS] - Headphone holder.

- Ha-ha! In the age of Bluetooth? - Yep.

What's, uh...

What's happening here, bud?

Tactical D-rings.

- [PHONE BUZZES] - [MACKEY] Mackey.

I mean, at least if it floods, we can use you

as a flotation device.

- Done? - [EVIE LAUGHS]

Not even a little bit, SpongeBob.

Is that...

- Oh! - It's a retractable hood.

Oh, so you're ready for all weather conditions!

Yep! Rain, hail or shine, baby.

- Let's go. - [MACKEY] Hey, save it.

We've got a dead body.

Or what's left of one.

Where we heading?

- Somewhere you'll fit right in. - Mmm.

[WORKERS CHATTER]

- [WORKER WOLF-WHISTLES] - Boys.

- Looking good, sexy. - How's it going?

[WORKER WOLF-WHISTLES]

[WORKER] Yeah, bro! Nice jacket.

Not stealing your looks, am I?

- [WORKER WOLF-WHISTLES] - All yours, partner.

[CAMERA CLICKS REPEATEDLY]

[CAMERA CLICKS]

[DOC ROY] Uh, the lime in the concrete's dissolved

all the soft tissue

and the rest of it's just in a semi-mummified state.

Uh, careful as you go there.

[CORPSE SQUELCHES]

What have you got?

This is a Naval Academy ring.

Class of '81.

Initials...

...'H.W.'.

[DOC ROY] Have a look at this. [LAUGHS]

The sailor had a prosthetic arm?

[DOC ROY] Yeah.

Or a very creepy back scratcher.

[MACKEY] Bag it, Evie.

You got a time of death for me, Doc?

No, but I have an era.

I found these in one of his pockets.

Okay. Uh...

One and two cent coins in the mix.

None date past '83, though.

[DOC ROY] And then there's the jacket.

Oversized bomber. Dropped shoulders.

I used to rock one of these back in my heyday.

- When was that? World War I? - [LAUGHS]

You're a funny lad, aren't ya? Try the '80s, corn puff.

- [MACKEY LAUGHS] - [JD] Oop!

What do we have here?

- Ooh! - [MACKEY] Hey!

- [JD] Rewind the tape. - [DOC ROY] Hey, a Walkman!

This bloke is a time capsule of the mid-'80s.

- [CAMERA CLICKS] - [DESHAWN] '85, to be exact.

Checked with the local council.

The inspector's report dates the concrete pour

in November 1985.

No wallet here.

So what are our chances of an ID, Doc?

[DOC ROY] You can forget about fingerprints,

but I can confirm with dental records

if you bring me options.

Shouldn't be too hard.

How many one-armed sailors can there be?

[GRIM MUSIC]

[EVIE] Except this guy has both arms.

So who owns the spare?

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

[MACKEY] Got an ID for me, Evie?

Naval Academy listed two graduates

with the initials H.W. from 1981.

Dental records confirmed one.

- Lieutenant Harvey Wilson. - [JD] What do we know?

[EVIE] Naval Engineering Officer

stationed out of the US Consulate, Sydney,

'83 to '85.

Service record hasn't been digitized yet,

so we're waiting on the scans.

And the missing persons file is... patchy.

- [DESHAWN] Yes, please. - What are the Consulate saying?

DeShawn's dealing with it.

Penelope. Penelope?

So the US Consulate has no record

of Lieutenant Harvey Wilson?

Well, that's weird, because we do.

No. Penelope, don't hang up on me...

DeShawn's dealt with it.

You reach out to the Engineering Corps?

[DESHAWN] All they know was Wilson was assigned here

on some kind of liaison.

Recommended I speak to Penelope at the Consulate.

[MACKEY] Get onto State Department.

Anything on past Naval attachés.

I want to know exactly what Wilson was up to, okay?

And who's missing an arm.

Manufacturer and supply lists.

Hey, Wilson have a family?

Uh, yeah. Widow. Australian.

[KEYS CLICK]

[COMPUTER BLEEPS]

[EVIE] Diana Parkinson.

[DOG BARKS IN DISTANCE]

[DIANA] I haven't opened this in 40 years.

- [MACKEY] You look happy. - [DIANA] I'd just said yes.

We'd only known each other for a few months,

but I knew how I felt.

When was the last time you saw Harvey?

Um... he left on a work trip.

Never came home.

A few nights after, I saw him...

...with another woman.

Where?

A restaurant. Bistro Noir.

He said he was in Canberra.

- You think it was an affair? - [DIANA] Wouldn't you?

For 40 years, I believed that he'd left me for her.

And now you're telling me that... that he was...

Do you remember what Harvey was wearing that night?

Uh... bomber jacket, I think.

And, um...

Brown shoes?

Black pants?

That was the night that...

Oh, my God.

Why would anyone want to kill Harvey?

So maybe Wilson's lured to the building site.

Then the bad guys get the jump.

Wilson grabs the killer's arm,

falls backwards into the footing.

Leaving the one-armed killer to signal the concrete pour.

That sounds like something out of The Fugitive.

Looking for the one-armed man! [CHUCKLES]

The Fugitive!

Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones... [CHUCKLES]

Forget it. Kids!

Are you performing shoe-topsies now, Doc?

Yes, I noticed one was lighter than the other.

Check the heel on the left.

- [DRAMATIC MUSIC] - Ah!

[DESHAWN] It's a spy shoe safe.

You try saying that after a few sherbets.

Wait. We're saying Wilson was a spook?

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

[DISTORTED MUSIC PLAYS LOUDLY]

[BLUE] Guys, guys, guys! Are you hearing this?

- [JD] Yes! - [MACKEY] Yeah.

It's hard not to, Blue.

It's the cassette from Wilson's Walkman.

It's, like, some kind of proto-dubstep,

which means that Wilson's music is 20 years ahead of its time.

[DISTORTED] ♪ You're alone in here...

Or the tape's warped.

♪ Let me warm your hands against... ♪

Or the tape is warped.

Which I will un-warp.

♪ A close encounter with a hard-hearted... ♪

[STOPS MUSIC]

Oh! I didn't know today was fancy dress.

It's a gilet.

Performance vest, actually.

Did you know that gilets were traditionally called jerkins?

- Great. - Do you hear that, JD?

Now you've got two options.

- Jerkin on or jerkin... - Oh, Blue, what's that?

This? This is a magneto optical device.

Otherwise known as Magneto to his friends.

Is that the key from Wilson's shoe?

Yes, and it had an engraving on it

that has been scratched off.

But Magneto here can - WILL -

bring it back to life.

[MAGNETO WHIRS]

Magneto will call when he is done.

Next...

So I sent off Wilson's bone fragments for analysis.

And get this - they found trace levels of metabolites

consistent with a nerve agent.

What kind of nerve agent are we talking?

It's unclear at this point, but nasty.

I mean, symptoms would include

loss of muscular control, vomiting,

respiratory failure and death.

See, the new ones are odorless.

- But the old ones... - Carry a slight fruity smell.

- Yeah. - Yeah.

You know your way around chemical weapons.

- That's... comforting. - CBRN training, Marines.

Okay, so several countries had stockpiles at the time.

Iraq, Libya, the US and the Soviet Union.

[JD] Okay, so if we think Wilson

was US intelligence during the Cold War,

the Soviets have got to be at the top of the list, right?

- [MAGNETO BUZZES] - Aha!

Behold the ghost of digits past!

[SOFTWARE BLEEPS]

What's a Rookwood?

[JD] Largest cemetery in Australia.

Even has its own postcode.

[MACKEY] Good to know.

Okay. You got that key?

[JD] Uh...

You're kidding.

[PLAYFUL MUSIC]

I know it's here somewhere.

Um...

- Ah! Got it. - [ZIPPER BUZZES]

It's a whistle. [BLOWS WHISTLE]

Got it. Let's go.

[KEY CLINKS]

[MACKEY] Hey, Tomb Raider, what are we looking for?

Anything that seems off.

[MACKEY] What, like two cops trespassing in a crypt?

Or a grown man wearing canary yellow?

Well, first of all, it's buttercup.

Second of all, I'm thinking something like this.

[SIGHS]

Benedict Arnold.

Infamous traitor of the Revolutionary War.

[MACKEY] Okay, I know who Benedict Arnold is,

but I also know he's buried in London.

So what's his urn doing in a crypt in Sydney?

Here.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Huh!

So the canister contained film negatives

consistent with a subminiature camera.

Now, there's over a hundred images

and most of them are pretty badly damaged.

But these are the readable ones so far.

Wait, Blue. Punch in on the top there.

[DESHAWN] "Top secret"?

[MACKEY] Contact DOD.

We need to confirm if this is still classified.

"Perses Combat System"?

US Navy weapons system.

This was tier-1 offense for the US Navy into the '90s.

And the schematics have sat uncollected in a dead drop

for 40 years.

So Wilson wasn't just a spy.

He was a traitor.

[DESHAWN] So who was Wilson spying for?

I might be able to help with that.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

[MACKEY] To what do we owe a visit from

the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation?

[DOC ROY] 'Intelligence' is stretching it a bit.

- Mate! - Hey, champion!

- God, you reek! - What are you doing here?

[TERRY] I heard NCIS has been digging up dead sailors.

Lieutenant Harvey Wilson.

- You know him? - [TERRY] I investigated him.

Wilson was working on a weapons system with our Navy.

They flagged him a security risk.

Kicked the case my way. We put eyes on him.

[MACKEY] Any idea who he was working for?

[TERRY] Well, it was the Cold War.

These weapons systems were specifically designed

to target the Soviets.

How'd Wilson die?

With poison in him.

Page 1 of the KGB playbook.

If he was spying for Russia, why would they wanna kill him?

Assets expire, got in too deep...

So what's Wilson to you, then?

Ever had one of those cases that sits with you

long after it's gone?

Well, Wilson's mine.

I was his case officer.

Happened on my watch.

Never got his wife answers.

Let me know if I can help.

ASIO's file on Wilson. That would help.

[DOC ROY] Turn it up. He's a spook, not a library.

I'll see what I can do.

[JD] So who is this guy again?

[MACKEY] Alex Mirov. Russian consulate staffer.

We crossed paths during a stint in DC.

[RUSSIAN ACCENT] Special Agent Mackey?

Uh, yeah.

And you are?

Interested in why NCIS

is back-channeling a foreign diplomat.

Lina Bukovska,

Consul-General of the Russian Federation.

Sergeant Jim Dempsey, AFP.

We weren't expecting someone of your standing, ma'am.

[LINA] I expect not.

I make a call to your State Department,

we have a problem.

But you haven't, which means you want to talk.

In my experience, it's better to put out spot fire than wildfire.

Alex passed on your inquiry.

I made a few calls.

Russia had nothing to do with Wilson, dead or alive.

He was photographing classified US intel.

Our sources believe that that was for you guys.

[LINA] Does your source have proof?

Wilson died with traces of nerve agent in him.

Many countries had such weapons, including yours.

And didn't you say he was spying on your Navy?

Are you suggesting the US is responsible for Wilson's death?

[LINA] I'm suggesting that Russia

isn't the only country

who eats their own.

Did you play today's Wordle?

[GULPS] How about China, huh?

[BLUE CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY]

[DOOR BEEPS AND OPENS]

[BLUE] Ah, Minister Quinn is here to see you.

[DOOR CLOSES]

Sit.

You went behind my back and contacted a Russian diplomat.

Ma'am, I was just meeting an old friend.

You want a line to the Russians, you come through my office.

Is that clear?

- Yes, ma'am. - Yes, Minister.

Alex Mirov? He's a low-level weasel.

- What were you hoping to learn? - It was a fishing expedition.

- What did you catch? - The Consul-General.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

Lina Bukovska was there?

[JD] Which means two things.

One - Wilson means something to the Russians.

And two - whatever happened 40 years ago still matters now.

A Russian-sanctioned murder

of a US citizen on Australian soil.

Is that what we're looking at?

We think so.

Minister, a list of Soviet diplomats

and suspected spies here in 1985 could help rule that out.

Assuming we still have the case.

Church mice.

Total silence. Got it?

- You know us, ma'am. - Yep. Mm-hm.

Sergeant Dempsey, one last thing.

Adore the vest.

I have the exact same in lilac.

[MOUTHS SILENTLY]

[DOOR BEEPS AND OPENS]

[JD ZIPS AND UNZIPS GILET OBNOXIOUSLY]

- [DOOR CLOSES] - [ZIPPER BUZZES]

[DESHAWN] Appreciate you coming through on Wilson's file.

[TERRY] I'll just go and get it for you.

- [CAT MEOWS] - I'd say make yourself at home.

But I don't wanna come back to Roy in his underwear

and Marty Robbins on the stereo.

Yeah, mate, mate, mate, there'd be no underwear involved.

[DESHAWN SNEEZES]

Don't tell me you're allergic to cats too.

- Me and 20% of the population. - Really?

It's a growing public health concern.

Aww. He's hypoallergenic, isn't he, eh?

[CHUCKLES] Who's a good boy, then, Lenin?

Lenin? Who calls their cat Lenin?

[DOC ROY] Yes, you are, aren't you, you old Communist?

[DESHAWN] Oh, right.

The guy who shares an interior designer with Rasputin.

Who doesn't like a mad monk?

Yeah. [CHUCKLES]

Whoa! Wow.

Damn. Does Terry read anything not in the original Russian?

[DOC ROY] What do you expect?

Terry didn't become the foremost Russia expert in the country

by reading Harry Potter.

[DESHAWN CHUCKLES]

How long have you known Terry?

Ooh, more years than you are old.

Met on the rugby field.

- I can see you as teammates. - No, no.

Opposite sides. We hated each other.

One Saturday, we really got stuck in.

And he started it, gave me a right hook, but I ended it.

Sat him on his arse with a Liverpool kiss.

[LAUGHS] You started it with a squirrel grip.

I ended it with a left cross.

He's been a little bit confused ever since.

Um, hope you're not white, Terry.

Why's that?

[DESHAWN] Checkmate in three.

[SNEEZES]

- Oh, sorry. - [DOC ROY] Bless you.

[DOC ROY] Chess isn't my game. It's all snakes and ladders.

- [DESHAWN] Hey, Doc. - Yep.

This looks like a more handsome version of you.

Well, that's because it is a more handsome version of me.

- [DESHAWN] Hold up. - [DOC ROY] Hmm?

[DESHAWN] Vintage Brad Pitt is you?

Yes, that's me. And Alice and Terry and... and Joyce.

We used to go to Kiama every year.

- Who's Joyce? - [TERRY] She's my w...

Well, she was my wife.

She passed not long after this was taken.

I'm sorry.

Don't be. We were together for eight years.

Found a lot of happiness in that time.

A lifetime's worth.

Anyway, this wasn't easy to get. Can I trust you with it?

[DESHAWN] Who's this?

[TERRY] That's, uh, Kate DuPont.

Entered the country on a diplomatic passport.

We took her for US intelligence.

So that would make her, what, Wilson's US handler?

But that doesn't make any sense.

He was stealing American Navy secrets.

I saw the photos, Terry.

Maybe you should take a closer look.

[MACKEY] Okay, Cooper. Impress me.

I bent some ears and got a hold of an OG Perses manual.

Then I did an A/B comparison with Wilson's intel.

But it wasn't an exact match.

Measurements, dimensions.

Every now and then, something was just a fractal off.

It's supposed to look like this.

This is a launch using the American Perses system.

In response, the Soviets were building the SM-19 system.

It was supposed to be a carbon copy.

Spot the difference.

[CLICKS KEY]

[MACKEY SIGHS]

[DESHAWN] Well, that didn't go according to plan.

That was being built using Wilson's bogus intel?

[EVIE] Mm-hm.

Wilson wasn't working for Russia. He was sabotaging them.

He was killed serving his country.

So I guess we're back to Russia.

About that,

Quinn just came through on the list.

It's been cross-checked with all Russian diplomats,

trade delegates, any foreign nationals here now.

None were here in Australia in '85.

That rules out any Russian officials

presently in the country.

- Where we at on the mystery arm? - Russian manufacturer.

Company went belly-up years ago. Total dead end.

- No 'arm' in trying, am I right? - [CHUCKLES]

[EVIE] But we did find the restaurant.

Bistro Noir shut down in 1985, then relaunched.

Same licensee, new name. Osen.

With a whopping 1.5 stars on Yelp.

- Oh! - But guess who did the fit-out.

The same company that poured concrete on Wilson.

Impressive.

[DYNAMIC MUSIC]

[MACKEY] Business isn't exactly booming.

[JD] Maybe it's one of those eat-in-the-dark joints

where you can't see your partner.

People pay good money for that.

Huh!

Sounds like money well spent.

Hmm!

[LIGHT SWITCH CLICKS REPEATEDLY]

[MACKEY] NCIS. Anyone here?

[TROUBLING MUSIC]

JD.

[JD] A one-armed man.

[JD BREATHES DEEPLY] You smell that?

Move! Move! Move!

[TENSE MUSIC]

[JD GROANS]

- Mackey, you're on my... - That was nerve agent.

[GASPS]

[SIREN WAILS]

[MACKEY] We really need to get back to work.

And I really need you to respect

the mandatory 15-minute observational period.

But we've had the antidote.

Yes, but we don't know if you received it in time.

You're not out of the woods yet.

[JD SIGHS]

[JD] Old mate needs to work on his bedside manner.

Yeah.

You don't actually think that... you know...

- We'll be fine. - Yeah.

'Cause you got pretty close. I mean...

Well, I'm just glad I wasn't huffing it in like you were.

- Hmm. - [PHONE BUZZES]

Evie. Where are you guys?

Caught some traffic.

But we ID'd the victim as Sasha Litkin.

Manager at Bistro Noir

before he bought the place outright in '85

shortly after Wilson was killed.

So are we thinking Sasha was paid to kill Wilson?

And now someone's closing old accounts?

Anyone get a look at the attacker?

Power to the restaurant was cut.

CCTV goes down 30 minutes before you're on scene.

No witnesses.

Evie?

[EVIE] Special Agents, we're cool with.

Nerve agents, not so much.

- Ah. - We salute your bravery.

All clear.

[MACKEY SIGHS]

But we are going to have to hold onto

all of your clothing items for further decon.

Except for one.

Extremely contaminant resistant.

All cops should be wearing these.

Mmm. I lead by example.

[CAMERA CLICKS REPEATEDLY]

[DOC ROY] All right. Lights.

The nerve agent was dispersed through an aerosol.

What? No, no! Sorry! This isn't...

Because you all thought...

And that would be...

Because then it would be...

Oh, my gosh, I'm so sorry. Are you okay?

It's just... Don't worry, it's just screen cleaner.

- Oh, good. - It's harmless.

It's probably harmless. Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm okay.

- Hey, Blue? - Yeah?

Yes.

Um, yeah, sorry.

- So I... I found a unique... - [JD CLEARS THROAT]

...impurity in the nerve agent

which gives us a chemical signature.

It's kinda like a fingerprint.

Um, sorry. Um...

Which I was able to trace all the way to a lab

in Volgograd, Russia.

Now, this isn't your top-of-the-line Novichok,

which are more effective, less detectable, odorless...

- Incurable. - [BLUE] Yes.

And Russia are, like, the MVPs of Novichok.

But Sasha was killed using soman.

It's an old-school nerve agent.

This isn't Russia's MO.

If this was state-sanctioned,

they'd be using poison tailor-made for the target.

There would be a team, months of planning.

This is a rush job.

If Sasha's murder wasn't sanctioned,

maybe Wilson's wasn't either.

A lone wolf covering their tracks.

What are you thinking, D?

Give me five.

All right, look. This is Terry's interview with Diana from '85.

There's no mention of Bistro Noir.

- Diana lied? - I don't think so.

You know, seems Terry never even asked about

the last time she saw her husband.

Well, that's kinda the key question, isn't it?

And the answer to which led us to Wilson's killer.

I feel like... I feel like Terry's hiding something.

[JD] So why has he given you information

that incriminates him?

It doesn't make sense. Terry doesn't make sense.

[EVIE] Yeah, why come to us at all?

Why give us the file? Ooh!

Also, what is the password to your phone?

What? Why?

Because when Doc finds out you're suss on his mate...

[CHUCKLES] ...he's gonna kill you.

Invite Terry in. JD, you and I can take a run at him.

Actually... I have a better idea.

[DESHAWN] There were some inconsistencies

in Diana's statements.

We're hoping you can help us

separate fact from fiction.

[MACKEY] We've gone through your interview with ASIO

after Harvey disappeared.

At no point did you say

you saw your husband at Bistro Noir.

That's not true. Of course I did.

Take a look at this record of interview.

There's no mention of it, Diana.

[DIANA] That makes no sense.

It was the last time I saw my husband.

[DESHAWN] It's a good point.

Hard to believe she would have left that out.

What do you want me to tell you? It was 40 years ago.

You're right. I get it. Ancient history.

Still sucks, though, right?

Because if she would have mentioned it,

you would've learned that Sasha Litkin was Wilson's killer.

Unless you already knew that.

[CHUCKLES] Well played.

Bring me in to help, question me when my guard's down.

[DOC ROY] Terry, what are you doing here?

Helping separate fact from fiction.

Sorry?

You're looking in the wrong place.

Where'd Kate DuPont get you?

A grave in Arlington, Virginia. Been dead six years.

[TERRY] What about Russian FSOs, diplomats?

Who was here back then and now?

None. See, we checked.

You've been feeding us

half-truths and dead ends from the get-go.

[DOC ROY] Hey. Hey.

Internal ASIO memo.

Turns out you weren't given that case after all.

- You asked for it. Why? - Where'd you get this?

Foreign Minister's taken an interest.

[CHUCKLES] Is this really the best you've got, is it? Me?

How do I access nerve agent?

Why would I have Wilson killed?

Where's my link to Sasha?

The murder weapon? Anything?

[TENSE MUSIC BUILDS]

[TERRY] You're reaching.

[TV BEEPS]

[JD] We're just trying to understand the timeline.

Three months after Harvey disappeared,

you made a claim on his life insurance.

It was denied.

Then three months later, you tried again.

How could you be sure he was dead?

I couldn't,

but I had to do something.

I had just found out I was pregnant.

I needed to know that

I had a home that I could raise my child in.

[TV BEEPS]

That night, a husband never came home.

A daughter never met her father.

Were you involved?

Oh, Terry, you don't have to do this.

No, no, no, no. It's all right. It's all right.

Boden's Mate.

Bishops catch the king in the crossfire.

Checkmate.

So you won?

[DARK MUSIC]

The game's still being played.

But you're only seeing half the board.

[DOOR BEEPS AND OPENS]

[DOC ROY] What the hell was that about?

Just trying to help solve this, mate.

Gimme a break. I know you.

Boden's Mate. Checkmate move. [PUTS DOWN MARKER]

[JD] You think Terry was trying to tell you something?

I don't know. It's all this spy gamer stuff.

Double meanings, hidden agendas.

But it got me thinking.

Everything we have points to two things,

Russia and Terry.

So what if...

Oh, mate, don't mind me.

[MACKEY] We're not gonna keep things from you, Doc.

This is an investigation and Terry is

a reasonable line of inquiry, okay?

All I was saying is everything we have points to two things,

Russia and Terry.

So what if they're the same thing?

What if Terry's working for Russia?

Russia? [SCOFFS] Terry is giving us information.

[DESHAWN] Select information.

He's manipulating the whole investigation.

- Why would he be doing that? - He knows more than he's saying.

Tell me I'm wrong.

Doc, Terry asked to investigate Wilson.

He discovered he was US intelligence.

And if he passed this on...

...he signed Wilson's death warrant.

[SIGHS]

You've just accused a man of treason.

With what evidence?

Cat hair!

The hair recovered from Sasha's crime scene

isn't from a human, it's from...

...a Neva Masquerade.

Russian. Cream coat. And so fluffy!

[EVIE] Okay, Sasha had cat hair on him. So what?

[BLUE] So Neva Masquerades are rare.

There's hardly any in the country.

[DOC ROY] And...

...Terry has one.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

[DESHAWN] Call him, Doc.

[DOC ROY] Terry, where are you? We need to talk.

[INTENSE MUSIC]

[DESHAWN] Get out of the way!

- Move! - Out of the way!

- Get out of the way! - NCIS coming through!

[PA ANNOUNCEMENT] The next train to arrive on platform 1,

goes to Arncliffe, Wolli Creek,

then all stations to Bondi Junction.

Wait! Got him. Opposite platform.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

Oh!

- Go, go, go! - [JD SHOUTS INDISTINCTLY]

[TRAIN CARRIAGES CLATTER]

[TRAIN HORN HONKS]

[MACKEY] Here.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

[JD] Evie, DeShawn, southern entrance!

[GRUNTS]

- Out of the way! Out of the way! - Move! Move!

Move!

- [MACKEY] NCIS! Federal agents! - [JD] I wanna see some hands!

Drop it! What are you holding?

My diplomatic card.

Granting me full immunity.

My level of immunity is highest this country has to offer.

I cannot be prosecuted, arrested or detained.

Mm-hm. Well, we are verifying your credentials.

And we like to be thorough, so it might take a while.

Enjoy it while you can.

Violating the Vienna Convention

tends to be a real career killer.

[JD] Hmm, well, while we wait...

[TABLET BEEPS]

[JD] Ooh!

I'mma take a wild guess

at what's inside that bottle.

Soman.

[LINA] You searched me.

Did you find a newspaper?

Nerve agent?

You have me confused with someone else.

You know, that coat looks, uh, awfully familiar.

It's a popular coat. Fashionable.

Although, you may have to take my word for that.

Why'd you run?

I was being chased by two lunatics with guns.

Why were you in Banksia?

Best Russian bakery in the city.

What about 1985? Because I've got a theory.

You were Russian intelligence. Harvey Wilson was your asset.

Oh, you may have to check your records.

I was not in the country.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]

State cops pulled all cameras.

We lose Terry after two blocks heading south.

He's not at home, either. BOLO's out.

All right, look.

[CLICKS KEY] See this?

Terry sees me, then turns to Lina before she makes her move.

You know, like he was expecting to be attacked.

- [DOC ROY] Oh, mate. - Hazmat found traces of soman.

They're still looking for the weapon.

I'm afraid Terry doesn't have long, Doc.

So where does he go?

To be with Joyce.

[SPARSE MUSIC]

[EVIE] Eyes on.

[DESHAWN] Special Agent Jackson, NCIS.

We've located Terry Barnes.

Need a hazmat team to Waverley Cemetery ASAP.

[QUIETLY] Doc, what are you doing?

Terry's skin and clothes could still be releasing the stuff.

We gotta lock down the area first.

[TERRY COUGHS]

He's my mate.

[TERRY COUGHS]

[EVIE] Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! What is he doing?

[TERRY COUGHS]

[TERRY COUGHS]

Well, as far as final views go,

you could have done a lot worse for yourself.

- Yeah, shame about the company. - Mmm.

Ahh, you visited Sasha.

Lina paid Sasha to kill Wilson.

I wanted him to roll on her.

I guess she beat me to the punch.

How did she know you were gonna be at the train station?

[DOC ROY SIGHS]

You told her to draw her out.

Because...

...you are a cunning bastard.

Did you get her?

Yeah, we got her.

Good.

Back then, Lina was KGB.

She was running Wilson. Became suss.

Asked me to find out... whose side he was really on.

[DOC ROY] Why did you agree?

When Joycey got sick,

they gave her six months.

KGB was gonna foot the bill for an experimental treatment.

Mate, I always wondered how you paid for that.

Mate, what would you have done?

Hey? What if it was Alice?

Did you know they'd kill Wilson?

I didn't know his wife was pregnant, mate.

[TERRY BREATHES SHAKILY]

You should go.

[DOC ROY] Hmm.

Yeah. Ohh.

Love you, mate.

[DOOR OPENS]

Minister! It's about time.

Your agents have made quite a mess.

Let's see if we can't tidy it up, then, hmm? Please.

In 1985, you were operating here as an officer of the KGB.

I told you. I was not in country.

[JD] Not as Lina Bukovska.

As Polina Stepanova,

interpreter at the Soviet Embassy.

At least, according to your fake diplomatic passport.

We keep meticulous records.

The intel you were passing on from Wilson

sabotaged the USSR's most expensive missile system, SM-19.

[JD] You worked out you'd been played.

- You could've come clean. - [MACKEY] But you didn't.

Instead, you had the one guy who could expose you killed.

Your own supposed asset, Harvey Wilson.

[JD] Allowing the USSR to continue to sink

hundreds of millions of rubles

into a weapons system that would never work.

That is remarkable story.

[JD] Hmm.

Recovered from the train station.

Soman.

We pull your DNA, no longer just a story.

I have diplomatic immunity.

How do you propose getting my DNA?

Voluntarily.

[LAUGHS]

Minister, is this a joke?

[PHONE BLEEPS]

[WOMAN ON PHONE] The Russian Foreign Minister

is returning your call, ma'am.

[QUINN] No joke.

Unless you waive your immunity,

we can't prosecute you on the murder charges,

but we can pass the fake Perses information on to the Kremlin.

They tend to take acts of treason very seriously.

[JD] Siberian prison.

Fall from a hotel window.

Or that other hometown favorite - poison.

Or you cooperate.

You are offering Australian prison?

Or a Russian grave.

Ma'am, the Foreign Minister is still waiting.

Instructions are on the back.

[EMOTIONAL MUSIC]

[JD] That's great. Thanks, Evie.

Hey, Evie just called.

Doc's presenting no symptoms. He's gonna be okay.

[SIGHS] Okay, good.

[JD] Ohh.

Oh, hey, apparently, Lina's already

shopping 40 years of Russian state secrets.

You're kidding!

But even with a deal, she'll spend

most of her remaining years in a 6x8 cell.

No agency has claimed Wilson?

They can't.

Wilson's mission remains classified.

Hmm. Quinn's asked that we sit on Terry's involvement too.

She's worried we'll lose credibility

with our security partners.

- That's typical. - Yeah.

The higher-ups save face

and Wilson's sacrifice is forgotten.

[JD] Mm-hm.

I'm a little tired of secrets.

[MACKEY] The night Harvey disappeared,

he believed his life was in danger.

So he left this.

On one side is music.

And on the other, he recorded a message.

Our lab tech was able to restore it.

The message was for you.

Take your time.

[SIGHS]

[HARVEY ON RECORDING] Diana, if you're hearing this,

something's happened.

[TEARFULLY] I won't be coming home.

I'm so sorry... [SNIFFLES]

...I won't be there for you, both of you,

to see our daughter grow up.

Grow old together. [SOBS]

Just know this.

I love you, sweetheart, and always will.
