All language subtitles for NCIS S19E04

Previously on NCIS.

Paul Lemire is not a serial killer, he
was a contract killer.

Paid to kill these seven people. Link's
gotta be whoever hired Lemire. The money

originated from one of our contractor
accounts, Sonoba Industries.

Sonoba's main headquarters are in
Virginia, run by Sonia Eberhardt. I

expect your director to approve this
little field trip. Agent Gibbs, really

looking forward to spending some time
together.

You like fishing?

There is a great place in Naktok Bay.

Naktok Bay is a small fishing community
in southwestern Alaska. It's also where

Sonova is currently building a copper
mine.

Gibbs ditched me and took Lemire.

FBI!

Leroy Jethro Gibbs, we have a warrant
for your arrest.

Go.

Gibbs? It's Agent Parker.

Gibbs? Gibbs?

Let's not make this any harder than...

Special Agent McGee?

Where is he?

Who? Don't play games, McGee. Where the
hell is Gibbs?

Um, I don't know. Did you trace him?

It's off.

Check his house?

Yeah, I did.

Something tells me he's not coming back.

I don't know, but when I see him, I'll
definitely let him know that you're

looking for him.

Parker's looking for you.

Grab your gear, McGee.

We've got work to do.

Last name Alanak. A -L -O -N -A -K.

The reservation will be under Sonia
Everhart or Sonova in the streets.

And what's the name of the boat? And we
need to charter the plane. Thank you.

Thanks.

Oh, you go? No, you go. I know why the
CEO of Sonova flew to Alaska.

For a groundbreaking ceremony for their
copper mine.

I thought they were still waiting on
approval.

Well, the final construction permit went
through today.

So someone from Sanova pays a hitman to
kill people opposed to their mind and it

still gets approved?

Well, it has to be the CEO, Eberhard.

She had the most to lose if the mind
didn't get approved.

It still doesn't prove that she paid for
those hits. We have to find a way to

link those payments back to her.

Gibbs wanted to speak to the father of
the first victim.

Maybe we'll get a lead from him.

Libby Alanak, I tracked down her dad to
knew he owns a fishing boat in Naktok

Bay. I'll go give them the key. What's
the name of the boat?

Cecilia.

You see some boats?

Yeah, hell of a boat.

Yeah, right.

Oh, no, you're serious.

Oh, yeah, I guess it's still afloat.

You know, Agent Gibbs, Libby warned me.
That's what happened.

For two years, the mainland police kept
saying she was just missing.

I knew she had passed on.

I felt it here.

There was a whole emptiness that won't

go away.

You're right. Pain never leaves your
heart.

But neither will she.

You suffered such a lot.

How did you get through the day?

Some days they don't.

Michelle and I.

Tanu. Please call me Tanu.

Tanu. You said that Libby told you that
she was in danger?

The last time we spoke, she was pretty
scared.

Somebody threw a rock through her
window.

Put a bullet in her mailbox.

She know who was threatening her?

You've heard of Sanova Industries?

Yeah, we know about the mine.

That damn dirty mine poisoning at the
bay. You think Libby could have stopped

it? I think her article could have.

What article?

You don't know?

She wrote a piece exposing all Sanova's
lies, but she disappeared before it

could ever get published.

What lies exactly?

About the toxic waste that the mine was
going to dump into the Miska River.

It's the world's last salmon run, and
once that mine gets built, there's going

to be none.

And she promised me once the article
came out, Sanova would never get the

permits.

You need to find Libby's article.

You'll see the truth.

Libby's house was ransacked. Pretty safe
bet that her killer made that article

disappear. No.

My daughter was too clever. She would
have kept that article in a safe place.

It's still out there somewhere.

I know it.

My little Libby.

Can you bring her home to me?

She deserves a proper burial.

Director, you wanted to see me?

You know, I figured you'd want to talk
to Gibbs.

But you put a warrant out for his
arrest?

No, actually, I didn't. The Bureau did.
I'm just following orders.

He's a suspended agent who stole a
government vehicle. You've got to be

me. And kidnapped a suspect.

Oh, come on, Parker. Who later died
under mysterious circumstances. The guy

himself up.

And whose fault is that?

You know, this would be a lot easier if
you just ordered Gibbs to turn himself

in. Gibbs is not an active agent.

Doesn't take orders from me anymore. I
can't order him to do anything.

Then call him as a friend and ask him to
get his ass out of hiding.

Gibbs doesn't hide.

Then where is he?

Hello, Leon.

Gibbs, how you doing?

I'm headed to Alaska. Yeah.

I know.

Go in this little town called... I don't
say another word.

After what you did, taking off with the
suspect in Parker's car, the FBI is

going to want to talk to you. And when
they can't find you, they will come to

me. And I won't lie.

I wouldn't want you to.

Brought you something you could use for
your trip up north.

Satellite funnel.

Thank you.

Really appreciate this.

I could use one more thing.

McGee?

I know.

He wouldn't fit in the bag.

had a good run.

You okay?

I wanted to say thank you,

Dan, for everything.

Come on.

Give me something.

He's in Alaska.

Where in Alaska?

He didn't say. Well, Alaska doesn't
really help me, does it, director? It's

pretty big place.

Yeah, it's bigger than most countries.

Where's McGee?

He's on personal leave.

And I'm guessing this leave happens to
be in Alaska?

Rumor had it he was headed up that way.

What are they doing there?

Tracking down the suspect in the serial
murders.

I thought the suspect blew himself up.
Not before he gave Gibbs a clue.

What kind of clue?

The kind that takes you to Alaska.

You know, I thought the FBI was in the
business of chasing actual criminals.

hey, the minute Gibbs gets back to D
.C., you can serve that warrant.

Thanks for your advice, but the FBI
doesn't wait around.

I'll go to Alaska and bring him back
myself.

Good luck finding him.

The long wait is over.

Underneath our feet lay millions of tons
of copper ore. And we will extract it,

creating hundreds of new jobs.

Let's dig this mine.

Big day, huh? What a surprise.

Ah, Special Agent McKee, right?

And you are? Gibbs.

Good to meet you, Gibbs.

So, what brings you fine gentlemen all
the way up to Naktuck Bay?

We came to see you.

Surprised you didn't tell us about your
Alaska visit last time we talked.

I didn't realize I had to clear my
itinerary with NCIS.

Well, you kind of do when it includes
breaking ground on a copper mine that

only approved after four of its biggest
opponents were murdered.

Like I said before, it is...

horrible, but I still feel that it's
nothing more than a tragic coincidence.

Libby Alanak's father doesn't think
that. And who is Libby Alanak? Libby was

first victim. She was writing an expose
about how your copper mine was going to

pollute the bay when she was killed.

Well, she was wrong.

We conducted an environmental impact
study that concludes our mine will have

zero adverse effects on the ecosystem.

Can we see that study?

Yes. It's public record.

We had to submit it to receive our
permit.

I am so sorry, but I really should get
back to my party.

Are we done here?

For now.

Okay.

Most people don't realize that the word
is inaccurate when describing indigenous

Alaskans. In fact, Dr.

Palmer. I don't mean to interrupt.

What word are you talking about?

Eskimo. Some people find the word
offensive.

In fact, there are 28 categories of
native Alaskan peoples.

But I'm sure Miss Alanak knew that.

Why did you want to have a chat with
Libby here?

Gibbs asked me to do a psychological
profile, so naturally I wanted to meet

You spoke with Gibbs?

Mm -hmm.

How is he holding up? I've been worried
about him.

As have I.

That's why I paid him a visit.

Hey, Doc.

Jethro. Going on a trip?

Yeah, Alaska.

Fishing or business?

Well, hopefully both.

I like what you've done to the place,
especially the basement. It's very, uh,

airy.

What can I do for you?

I worry about you.

Why? You've had to endure a great deal
in the last six months.

Sloan and Bishop leaving.

The assault, your arrest and suspension,
not to mention the blowing up of your

boat. Milestone events such as these.

They stack up on each other and build
internal pressure.

It happens to anyone.

Even you.

What do you want me to say?

I want you to say there's nothing to
worry about, Duck.

There's nothing to worry about, Duck.

I wish I believed you.

I wish I believed me, too.

You're right.

Lately, I've been searching.

I don't know what I'm looking for.

I know being alone without the job, that
was hard.

Then come back.

That's even harder.

Well, at least we've completed step one.

Identify the problem.

Doc, I gotta go to the airport.

I'll give you a ride.

I got a ride.

You are great.

I appreciate you more than you know.

And? Is Gibbs okay?

He will be.

Does Libby here have any personal
effects?

You're talking about her missing news
article?

Notorious filled me in. Apparently they
went back and looked at Libby's place.

Still couldn't find anything.

Yet her father is convinced that she had
a copy hidden somewhere.

Well, she certainly didn't have it on
her when she died.

Her pockets were empty, no cell phone,
no USB drive. All she had was this

jewelry and this watch.

I'm really glad you went to go see
Gibbs, Dr. Mallard.

Out of curiosity, how did his basement
look?

Like a war zone.

Wait a minute.

What's this?

That's a QR code.

Her dad was right. She was clever.

She engraved it onto her watch.

Does it link back to her article? Yep.

And, oof, the doozy.

Sinova's proposed copper mine will
poison Naktot Bay and destroy its entire

ecosystem. Gibb should hear this.

I'm already ahead of you.

Yeah, Gibb.

We found Libby's article, and it claims
Sinova's own internal environmental

impact report that the mine would have,
quote, unavoidable catastrophic

consequences to the water and
surrounding animal life.

Eberhardt just told us the opposite.

And the environmental impact report that
Nova filed publicly backs her up.

Who's telling the truth?

Libby claims Eberhardt buried the
original report, then bribed another

to get the results she needed.

If this article were published, Nova
would never have gotten approval to

the mine.

Libby, you have a source?

Anonymous. Find him.

Both. What's going on?

Take a good look around, McGee.

If Libby Allen X writes, this will be
gone soon.

Which part?

All of it.

Libby Alanak wrote a tell -all article
on SNOVA's copper mine.

But she was killed before the article
was published. Lucky for SNOVA.

Did Libby's article check out? We don't
know yet. All of her intel came from one

single source.

An anonymous source.

Anonymous no more.

When I dug further into the file linked
to the watch's QR code, I found Libby's

personal note, which revealed her
source.

Brian Stafford.

Isn't he one of the victims?

The research biologist.

Obviously, Sanova didn't like his
research.

They made his report disappear, and him
too.

Well, we can't prove any of this unless
we find that report.

Our best bet is to get our hands on
Brian Stafford's file.

He had a wife.

Melanie, I think.

She may know where they are.

Do you have her contact info?

No, but I know someone who does.

A contract killer.

NCIS is sure.

They followed the money.

I don't get it. Why would anyone pay to
have my husband killed? Or my wife.

Jin didn't have any enemies.

So if this contract killer is dead, did
any chance of solving this case die with

him? No, ma 'am.

We will make sure that we find whoever
was responsible for this. I give you my

word. Everyone, this is Agent Torres.

Melanie, Brian's laptop.

If he has any research, this is where it
would be.

I will make sure that you get everything
back intact.

I really hope you guys find what you're
looking for.

Me too.

Thank you for your help, Marcy.

Sure.

Nick.

What's up with Kip?

Is he okay?

What about McGee?

Oh, he's already at the airport.

Hey, for the record, I always knew how
you were going to get that boat out of

the basement.

I didn't know it was a question.

What? Burning for years.

All right, I knew about you and that
damn boat before I transferred to D .C.

the hell else was I going to get that
thing out?

Hey, trust me, that's what I said, okay?
But the theories I heard were nuts. I'm

talking about movable walls, a pulley
system, because your house has a coal

tunnel underneath.

I guess possibly you can turn the boat
on its side. Come on!

Did you get an address for Libby Allen,
ex -father?

Not yet.

The town that you're going to is still
off the grid, that there are no

addresses. But Knight is on it.

She's good, huh?

She's smart.

You know, she stepped into a tough
situation and handled it well.

What about you?

What about me?

How are you?

Oh, I'm doing good.

Come on, the truth.

I am getting by.

And things are better than others.

But I'll be fine.

You are a hell of an agent, Nick.

You've got instincts that don't come
along often.

More important, you are a good man.

Do me a favor, though.

You don't let this job become all that
there is.

I'll take care of you, pal.

What?

What about you, Gibbs?

Are you good?

I mean, considering the fact that your
beloved boat blew up, the house is

missing a wall, and... Well, you're also
unemployed.

I'll be fine.

I know you will.

Yeah, he's okay.

Ah, damn it!

That doesn't sound good.

Stafford's report not on his laptop?

I wouldn't know. I'm locked out. This
bad boy's password protected.

Did Sandra get the password from his
wife?

No, she said her husband never gave it
to her. She sent me half a dozen

but none worked, so I think I'll have to
hack my way in.

Which might take a while.

How long?

Depends on how secure... No, how long
have they been married?

Why does it matter?

Oh, I just think it's strange that, you
know, her husband didn't give her the

password. Not to me.

If you were married, you wouldn't give
your husband your password.

Not a chance.

Why would you? Why would I share a bank
account and not my computer?

Who says I'm sharing my bank account?

This is your soulmate we're talking
about.

Even still, way too intimate.

I think you have some real trust issues
with your hypothetical husband.

Don't play armchair psychiatrist for my
make -believe marriage.

We are happy doing it our way.

Sorry to interrupt whatever this is.

But look. You hacked in?

Yes, Nick, but that is old news. Look
what I found.

Godfors Environmental Impact Report.

The copper mine will result in
unavoidable, catastrophic consequences

water and surrounding animal life.

And look who signed it.

Tony Eberhard.

All right, thanks, Nick.

Lost everything?

Olivia Elenik wrote about the Minus
Shrew. I had to pay ever harder visits.

And she's scheduled to make a flight to
Costa Rica tonight when she wraps up her

little media tour.

Gonna miss her flight.

Hey, fellas.

Parker?

What the hell are you doing here?

Arresting a fugitive, which you are
currently harboring, by the way. You

do the deed, or... Should I?

Okay, then.

Allow me.

You flew all the way to Alaska to arrest
Gibbs for taking the joyride?

He kidnapped a suspect at the bureau we
call that obstruction of justice.

We're in the middle of nowhere. There's
no way you could attract us.

You're right. I had help.

Who told you where to find us?

He did.

You told Parker where we are?

Why? Because it's the right thing.

FBI's got a warrant out for me. I don't
want him to think I'm running.

What about the investigation?

What about stopping the mine? Well, I
didn't think he was going to fly 4 ,000

miles to get me.

Well, you did. I can see that. So, what
do we do now?

Talk to him. Yeah, I got it.

What do you mean, talk to him?

You don't think you've told him enough,
boss?

Do I send some dissension in the ranks?

Parker, please don't do this.

We're booked on the 515 out of Nana.

You can't arrest Gibbs now. We just
found out who was responsible for paying

the serial killings. Yeah, who's that?

Sonia Everhart.

CEO of Sonoma? You got proof?

We have proof that she lied to protect
the mine.

Let's make her a killer.

That'll give her a hell of a motive.

If we take her down, we can stop the
mine from being built.

Or we can let all of this be destroyed.

Wow. Did you two rehearse that?

Parker, come on. This is your case, too.
I know that you care. So now you want

to be a team again?

Kumbaya.

That's convenient.

Victims' families need answers.

People of Nantuck Bay deserve to keep a
silence.

You two really think out here by
yourselves you can go up against a

-dollar corporation and win?

Yeah, we do.

Job's not done.

Let's make one thing clear.

As soon as Eberhard is in custody, your
ass belongs to me.

Got it?

Let's finish the job.

We've got Eberhard dead to rights on
bearing, Stafford's report.

But I can't tie her to the money paid to
Lemire.

So what are you thinking?

I'm thinking she had a partner.

Funneled the money through them.

You think it's someone else that's a
Nova?

Possibly. But it could be anyone.

Hired gun, stockholder, or just...
Someone who has a lot to gain seeing

mine built.

I think we get ever hard to flip on her
partner.

How? Easy.

You get Gibbs to arrest her. He floats
your partner theory.

And she falls under Gibbs' pressure.

I... I think that would work on most
criminals, but I don't think she's going

buckle under the pressure, even from
Gibbs.

Well, then, we get her to talk another
way.

Heath? Parker, you're a hard guy to get
a hold of.

Yeah, well, I've been busy.

Does that mean you got your man?

I caught a break on a Sanova case, so I
decided to deprioritize Gibbs' arrest

for the moment. Glad you got a new lead,
but remember, we sent you up there for

a reason. So you're saying the arrest of
one man on an obstruction charge is

more important than taking down the
person who ordered eight murders?

No, of course not. I'm simply reminding
you of the importance of doing the job

you were assigned.

All due respect, Chief, why is the FBI
so hell -bent on taking Gibbs down?

Why? He kidnapped your suspect and made
us look like fools.

He's a good agent.

Do you know what he was suspended for?

Yeah. Well, the list goes on and on from
there, and yet time and time again,

Gibbs has managed to avoid paying the
price for his actions. That ends today.

Let me know when you have it.

Flight 871 is scheduled for an on -time
departure from gate 15A.

Leaving so soon?

You just got here. Uh, I know. Quick
trip. Sorry to have to run, but I have a

flight to catch and a car waiting for
me.

You, uh, you maybe want to go, like,
fishing before you go?

I don't fish.

Right. You just poison everything.

I already told you to look into our
environmental impact statement.

We did.

And we also saw the real one, the one
you buried.

Don't pretend you don't know about it,
because you signed it.

Ugh. I sign lots of reports.

Yeah, well, this...

Particular report details how your mind
was going to pollute NACOC Bay.

So you got rid of it. Just like you got
rid of Brian Stafford, you got rid of

Libby Alanek. I want to call my lawyer.
It's a good idea because you're under

arrest. Hands behind your back.

Hold on. Stop.

What? Director Vance.

Call Tulsa Standout.

Bureaucratic red tape.

So am I free to go?

For now.

Let's go!

Excuse me, do you have cell service?

You betcha.

Well, my call is not going through.

It might be the spotty reception or it
might be this cell phone jammer I'm

to block your call.

What the hell are you doing?

Arresting you.

Special Agent Alden Parker, FBI.

Now we get to see who you tried to call.
Fingers crossed. I'm really hoping it's

your partner.

I appreciate you coming back over on
such short notice, Phil.

Are you kidding? Any break in the case
is worth dropping everything for.

So, what'd you find out?

Well, what all the murders seem to have
in common.

A copper mine in Alaska.

A mine?

Yeah. I discovered that Sanova has been
trying to build this mine for years and

has been killing people who are trying
to block its construction.

Wait, sorry, I don't understand what any
of this has to do with my wife.

As far as I can tell, nothing.

Which is why I called you here, hoping
that maybe you might know something

Sanova. No.

Um, have you mentioned any of this to
the feds yet?

No, not yet.

I'm still trying to piece everything
together.

You should have just let this go, Marcy.

Why, Phil?

You upset because you're going to have
to do your own wet work for once?

You bitch.

Yeah. Phil, hand over. You're under
arrest.

Do not move.

Okay, I know what you think. I did not
have anyone killed.

Then why would Sonia Eberhardt try
calling you? Sonia Eberhardt? I don't

know who that is.

Your phone records say you do. You find
out you have land in Naktuk Bay.

A lot of it. In the same place where
Sanova's building their mine.

Eberhard offered you millions to buy
your land. One condition.

Sanova needed their opposition out of
the way.

And that's where the hitman you hired
entered the picture.

So when your wife found out about your
little plan, what you had her killed to?

I want my lawyer.

This is why I don't trust my
hypothetical husband.

You good?

Yeah, I'm great.

Well, what you did was brave.

Libby Alanek was brave.

Great, thanks.

Parker has Eberhardt in custody.

I just talked to Torres. He didn't ever
fall right into the trap.

Marcy? Marcy's good.

Better than good. Nick actually said she
was incredible.

Man, she just wrote herself one hell of
an ending, don't you think?

How many cases do you think I've worked,
Tim?

Over 25 years?

At least 1 ,000, I'm sure.

Why? Because what we did today, saving
this land, may be the most meaningful

of all of them. We did something good
here, didn't we?

You should be proud, Tim.

I am.

Good. All right, what now?

Now you arrest me.

Wait, no, boss.

It's ridiculous.

Let Parker do it. No, Tim, it's got to
be you.

You are a federal officer. I'm a
fugitive. They cannot hit you with a

charge. Walter, I don't care.

I do care. Tim, arrest me. Do your job.

Come on!

Hate this, you know.

We're doing fine.

Nice work today.

Eberhardt got spooked, just like you
said.

Tell your boss, Special Agent McGee,
turn me in to the FBI.

He shouldn't be caught up in this.

He won't be.

Well, neither should Gibbs.

His obstruction charge is a joke.

Well, according to my boss, that's the
only way they could finally take you

down. What do you mean, finally?

Seems you have a history of coloring
outside the lines.

But so do I.

On occasion.

McGee? Key?

What's happening right now? I'm not
going to be the FBI's errand boy. After

talked to my boss, I did a little
research on you. I called an old co

and let's just say he convinced me that
you don't belong behind bars.

I want the FBI just... send another
agent to arrest him? If I don't testify

Gibbs stole my vehicle, they don't have
a case.

You could lose your badge.

Maybe. You sure about this?

No.

You boys have a safe flight home.

Parker, who is the co -worker you
called?

Tobias Vernell.

Parker, thanks.

Permission to come aboard.

Please.

Thank you for bringing my daughter home
to me. Now I can properly honor her

memory. I'm having a traditional
potlatch ceremony for Libby today. It

my great honor to present you with it.

Oh, no.

Thank you. I can't accept it.

You must. It's our tradition during a
potlatch to give away a person's wealth.

Lieutenant, thank you.

Thank you.

Springfield.

It's a relic, but it still gets the job
done.

Did you shoot?

Once or twice.

Got something for you, too.

Libby's watch.

I noticed it was a man's watch.

Is that your watch?

I gave it to her.

the day she left our village.

She once said to me, this was the wrong
mine in the wrong place.

And to find out she helped stop it, to
save our precious land, I've never been

prouder to be her father.

You should be proud.

I realized something when I was fishing
this morning.

Libby lives on in nature.

I hear her voice in the wind.

They feel their soul in the water.

It is true what you said.

She will always be with me.

Yeah, are you getting there, McGee?

Just got to find your rhythm.

Your rhythm, not mine. I'm not so sure
the fish like my rhythm.

I think the fish know you haven't found
it yet.

Be patient.

It's about progress, not perfection.

Once you know the basics, the rest just
comes from inside.

Like tap dancing.

Okay, let's go with that.

So who taught you?

My dad.

He used to say, if you want to learn
something new about yourself, put on

waders.

How often did you guys go?

Not often enough.

We didn't talk much.

If there was something about fishing
that river, greet him.

He'd open up.

And I am thankful for those days.

I know what you mean.

Before I went off to boot camp,

He took me fishing for the weekend.

We made a pact.

He said we were going to do that every
summer.

But that was the last time.

What stopped you?

Excuses.

Here's our ride.

So Parker gets the glory, FBI gets the
collar, and Gibbs gets arrested?

Not exactly.

Agent Parker let Gibbs go.

Well, that's great.

But why?

Guess the FBI finally came to their
senses.

No, apparently Parker made a unilateral
decision.

How'd that go over with his boss?

Not well. His boss fired him.

Whoa. Well, that's harsh. I mean, I
don't like the guy, but he didn't

lose his job.

Parker ignored a direct order.

Why would he do that?

Well, because sometimes there are more
important things than following orders.

What about Gabe?

Since he has no warrant for his arrest,
can he come back to work?

In theory.

And in reality?

That's not my decision.

Uh, yes. Yes, it is.

You suspended him. Can't you talk to
him? Can you convince him to take his

back? I already tried.

He doesn't want it.

You want me to load your gear?

Gib?

You okay?

Yeah, I've never been better.

I know what you mean.

This place is pretty special.

Can't wait to come back one day.

Well, I hope you do.

Well, it's ready.

It's just waiting on us.

I'm not going back, Dan.

To work?

Well, that too. I'm not going back home.

You staying here?

For how long?

Not sure.

Paul, you realize we're in the middle of
nowhere, right? We are 50 miles from

anyone or anything.

Not a bad thing?

This is crazy. What are you thinking?

I'm thinking I don't have another boat
left to build.

Well, then we'll find you another hobby.
I'm not looking for a hobby.

What are you looking for?

My gut's telling me I'll know when I
find it, Tim.

And you think you'll find it here?

I don't know.

Whatever I'm feeling, this sense of
peace, I have not had this

since Shannon and Kelly died.

And I'm not ready to let it go.

So that's it.

I could not have hoped for anyone better
to watch my back for the past 18 years

than you, Tim.

I love you, man.

I love you, too.

I'm going to see if you're okay.

I already am.

Watch an all -new CSI Vegas Wednesday on
Global.
