1
00:00:04,024 --> 00:00:09,409
Agent Torres, would you mind
staying behind for a moment?

2
00:00:09,410 --> 00:00:10,677
- KNIGHT: Director?
- VANCE: You got your wish,

3
00:00:10,678 --> 00:00:11,845
Agent Knight.

4
00:00:11,945 --> 00:00:13,681
NCIS: ELITE just got orders.

5
00:00:13,682 --> 00:00:15,815
There's a wanted fugitive
you'll be tracking.

6
00:00:15,816 --> 00:00:17,351
Finally.

7
00:00:17,352 --> 00:00:19,486
VANCE:
This one hits a little close to home.

8
00:00:19,487 --> 00:00:20,987
Details to follow from your C.O.

9
00:00:21,021 --> 00:00:24,392
Until then,
this stays between us.

10
00:00:28,996 --> 00:00:30,964
(typing)

11
00:00:31,065 --> 00:00:32,733
(explosion in distance)

12
00:00:32,866 --> 00:00:34,734
(gunfire in distance)

13
00:00:34,735 --> 00:00:36,703
Do you know
what's dumber than running ops

14
00:00:36,704 --> 00:00:38,172
from a bombed-out basement?

15
00:00:38,173 --> 00:00:40,740
Don't say "two people typing
on the same keyboard."

16
00:00:40,741 --> 00:00:42,731
Two people typing
on the same keyboard.

17
00:00:42,732 --> 00:00:44,811
I warned you that book
would melt your frontal lobe.

18
00:00:44,812 --> 00:00:48,382
It's the only thing down here
that isn't classified.

19
00:00:48,516 --> 00:00:51,519
The author has two characters
practically holding hands

20
00:00:51,619 --> 00:00:53,287
while hacking a missile silo.

21
00:00:53,387 --> 00:00:56,055
How could the boss read
this unrealistic crap?

22
00:00:56,056 --> 00:00:59,893
Okay, rude, and...
it is technically possible.

23
00:00:59,894 --> 00:01:01,894
Remap the macros,
assign key clusters-

24
00:01:01,895 --> 00:01:04,164
left side, right side.
Perfect for emergencies.

25
00:01:04,165 --> 00:01:06,167
What kind of nerd would do that?

26
00:01:06,267 --> 00:01:07,401
Only the best.

27
00:01:07,535 --> 00:01:09,036
At your service.

28
00:01:09,137 --> 00:01:11,439
JONATHAN:
Is that the last Klowny Kake?

29
00:01:11,572 --> 00:01:13,374
Hmm. Could've been.

30
00:01:13,375 --> 00:01:14,741
Those are the boss's favorite.

31
00:01:14,742 --> 00:01:16,376
When she finds out,
we're all dead.

32
00:01:16,377 --> 00:01:18,112
Hmm. We're already
in a war zone.

33
00:01:18,246 --> 00:01:20,913
- Exactly. No need to escalate.
- BISHOP: Heads up.

34
00:01:20,914 --> 00:01:22,449
Shut it down. We need to move.

35
00:01:22,450 --> 00:01:24,884
- Let's get to the van.
- Why? What happened, boss?

36
00:01:24,885 --> 00:01:26,219
We've been burned.
Let's go. Come on.

37
00:01:26,220 --> 00:01:27,788
Before they find us.

38
00:01:27,921 --> 00:01:31,292
Wait. Does this classify
as an emergency?

39
00:01:31,392 --> 00:01:32,926
- Let's dance.
- (chuckles)

40
00:01:34,762 --> 00:01:35,963
Come on, let's go.

41
00:01:36,897 --> 00:01:38,467
- (rapid gunfire)
- (screams)

42
00:01:38,566 --> 00:01:40,033
Get down.

43
00:01:44,305 --> 00:01:45,606
Shut it down!

44
00:01:48,442 --> 00:01:50,010
Patricia, let's go! Come on!

45
00:01:52,580 --> 00:01:54,515
- Patricia.
- (bomb whistles)

46
00:01:54,615 --> 00:01:56,150
- (explosion)
- (screams)

47
00:02:06,827 --> 00:02:08,996
(phone buzzes)

48
00:02:11,265 --> 00:02:12,666
(sighs)

49
00:02:26,247 --> 00:02:28,148
(texting)

50
00:02:39,260 --> 00:02:41,395
? ?

51
00:03:15,796 --> 00:03:18,732
(sputters)
Where is it?

52
00:03:19,633 --> 00:03:21,535
Yes.

53
00:03:30,844 --> 00:03:33,414
Mmm. That's so good.

54
00:03:33,514 --> 00:03:35,883
- (computer chimes)
- Hmm.

55
00:03:39,253 --> 00:03:40,721
Come on.

56
00:03:42,155 --> 00:03:45,426
(door unlocking)

57
00:03:56,069 --> 00:03:57,738
(groans)

58
00:04:04,578 --> 00:04:06,146
Sup, Carl?

59
00:04:08,215 --> 00:04:10,250
(meows)

60
00:04:11,118 --> 00:04:13,220
Chairman Meow.

61
00:04:13,321 --> 00:04:15,155
You don't live here, man.

62
00:04:15,255 --> 00:04:16,923
(meows)

63
00:04:16,924 --> 00:04:18,258
How'd you get in?

64
00:04:18,359 --> 00:04:19,760
(purrs)

65
00:04:38,432 --> 00:04:42,449
MARSH:
Eleanor Bishop vanished almost

66
00:04:42,450 --> 00:04:44,951
five years ago,
after she was found

67
00:04:44,952 --> 00:04:47,187
to have leaked classified intel.

68
00:04:47,287 --> 00:04:50,157
Bishop disgraced herself
and the badge.

69
00:04:50,290 --> 00:04:51,824
I hate to interrupt, Ms. Marsh,

70
00:04:51,825 --> 00:04:54,995
but I think the DoD
is leaving out a few details.

71
00:04:55,095 --> 00:04:57,631
Agent Bishop burned
her identity on purpose

72
00:04:57,731 --> 00:05:00,167
to go deep cover
on a U.S. black ops unit.

73
00:05:00,267 --> 00:05:02,269
You're well-informed,
Agent Knight.

74
00:05:02,370 --> 00:05:04,840
For five years, Bishop
was one of our best assets.

75
00:05:04,841 --> 00:05:06,473
Ran a covert cyber team
in regions

76
00:05:06,474 --> 00:05:08,508
the military can't
officially operate.

77
00:05:08,509 --> 00:05:10,177
Until six months ago,

78
00:05:10,277 --> 00:05:13,313
when their field base
was ambushed in Ukraine.

79
00:05:13,414 --> 00:05:15,849
Team went dark,
no contact since.

80
00:05:15,983 --> 00:05:18,486
- Casualties?
- Unconfirmed, Agent Amari.

81
00:05:18,586 --> 00:05:19,819
MARSH:
But soon after,

82
00:05:19,820 --> 00:05:22,189
highly targeted
data breaches began.

83
00:05:22,190 --> 00:05:24,491
Classified intel tied
to U.S.-Russia relations

84
00:05:24,492 --> 00:05:27,495
was stolen, all traced back

85
00:05:27,496 --> 00:05:28,661
- to Bishop.
- KNIGHT: Agent Bishop

86
00:05:28,662 --> 00:05:30,530
is a covert operative.

87
00:05:30,531 --> 00:05:31,831
There must be protocols.

88
00:05:31,832 --> 00:05:33,500
- A way to get in touch with her.
- There are.

89
00:05:33,501 --> 00:05:35,334
- She's ignored them all.
- You think

90
00:05:35,335 --> 00:05:36,704
Bishop was captured?

91
00:05:36,804 --> 00:05:38,372
Forced to steal that intel?

92
00:05:38,506 --> 00:05:41,456
Or she's doing it willingly
because Bishop's been turned.

93
00:05:41,457 --> 00:05:43,943
DoD has proof
that she's a traitor?

94
00:05:43,944 --> 00:05:46,680
MARSH: We have proof that
she's now back on U.S. soil.

95
00:05:46,780 --> 00:05:49,216
Bishop must be found
and apprehended.

96
00:05:49,316 --> 00:05:52,152
Knowing Bishop is targeting
classified intel,

97
00:05:52,252 --> 00:05:54,354
DoD has deployed digital bait.

98
00:05:54,355 --> 00:05:56,523
Decoy files
loaded with tracking software.

99
00:05:56,524 --> 00:05:58,692
She opens one, we get a ping.

100
00:05:58,792 --> 00:06:01,894
And when that happens, we move.

101
00:06:01,895 --> 00:06:02,945
Any questions?

102
00:06:02,963 --> 00:06:04,398
We'll be in touch.

103
00:06:04,532 --> 00:06:06,434
Dismissed.

104
00:06:09,236 --> 00:06:10,571
Agent Knight.

105
00:06:10,572 --> 00:06:12,639
- Something to add?
- KNIGHT: You could say that.

106
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:14,206
I already spoke
to your director.

107
00:06:14,207 --> 00:06:16,643
He's expressed your doubt
about ELITE's target.

108
00:06:16,644 --> 00:06:18,779
Agent Bishop
isn't just a target.

109
00:06:18,879 --> 00:06:21,515
- She's family.
- Former Agent Bishop.

110
00:06:21,615 --> 00:06:22,749
And from what I hear,

111
00:06:22,750 --> 00:06:24,184
- you barely knew her.
- True.

112
00:06:24,185 --> 00:06:26,586
But some of my team
worked with her for eight years.

113
00:06:26,587 --> 00:06:29,523
- I'm aware.
- Keeping this mission from them won't be easy.

114
00:06:29,524 --> 00:06:31,458
And frankly,
I assumed you'd want me off.

115
00:06:31,459 --> 00:06:32,925
On the contrary.

116
00:06:32,926 --> 00:06:34,894
I'm the one who fought
to make you mission leader.

117
00:06:34,895 --> 00:06:37,865
Who better to keep eyes
on Agents McGee and Torres?

118
00:06:37,965 --> 00:06:39,955
(sighs)
You think she'll make contact.

119
00:06:40,067 --> 00:06:42,603
You said it yourself.
She's family.

120
00:06:42,703 --> 00:06:46,606
And when she makes contact,
it's your duty to report it.

121
00:06:46,607 --> 00:06:49,643
(phone buzzes)

122
00:06:50,744 --> 00:06:51,944
Perfect timing.

123
00:06:51,945 --> 00:06:53,781
DoD Cyber just confirmed

124
00:06:53,914 --> 00:06:56,584
one of our decoy files
was downloaded tonight.

125
00:06:57,417 --> 00:06:59,252
Now it's just a matter of time.

126
00:07:01,321 --> 00:07:02,956
Bishop will be caught.

127
00:07:02,957 --> 00:07:05,024
The only question
is whether you'll be

128
00:07:05,025 --> 00:07:09,096
leading the charge
or updating your r�sum�.

129
00:07:24,177 --> 00:07:26,647
Okay, I am literally
not even in the building yet.

130
00:07:26,648 --> 00:07:28,347
KASIE (over phone):
Which is why I'm calling now,

131
00:07:28,348 --> 00:07:29,649
to get ahead of the game.

132
00:07:29,650 --> 00:07:31,017
Parker's been dodging
my supply order

133
00:07:31,018 --> 00:07:32,451
for two fiscal quarters.

134
00:07:32,452 --> 00:07:34,120
Yeah, because it costs
more than my car.

135
00:07:34,121 --> 00:07:35,287
All right, look, Parker just

136
00:07:35,288 --> 00:07:36,388
buried his mom, all right?

137
00:07:36,389 --> 00:07:37,624
He's taking a few days off.

138
00:07:37,625 --> 00:07:39,291
I said that I would
cover for him,

139
00:07:39,292 --> 00:07:41,494
not green-light
enough funding for you

140
00:07:41,495 --> 00:07:42,696
to build a second lab.

141
00:07:42,796 --> 00:07:44,197
So that's a maybe?

142
00:07:44,998 --> 00:07:47,768
Uh, Kasie, I got to go.

143
00:07:47,868 --> 00:07:51,204
Looks like Nick is having
a weird morning.

144
00:07:51,972 --> 00:07:54,341
Hey. You know we, uh,
we got a lobby

145
00:07:54,342 --> 00:07:56,108
- right there with heat.
- TORRES: Yeah.

146
00:07:56,109 --> 00:07:58,846
But this couldn't wait, okay?
This is, uh, sensitive.

147
00:08:00,981 --> 00:08:02,415
Have you seen this before?

148
00:08:02,416 --> 00:08:06,352
- The hell am I looking at?
- I mean, it's fake, right?

149
00:08:06,353 --> 00:08:08,120
I mean, I've never touched
a doughnut in my life.

150
00:08:08,121 --> 00:08:09,689
Well, technically,
that's a fritter.

151
00:08:09,690 --> 00:08:12,626
And if I remember correctly,
you were hypnotized.

152
00:08:12,627 --> 00:08:14,927
- What now?
- Y-Yeah, we had the murder case with the hypnotist,

153
00:08:14,928 --> 00:08:18,031
you were the test subject,
and allegedly,

154
00:08:18,032 --> 00:08:20,066
you demolished
an entire apple fritter.

155
00:08:20,067 --> 00:08:22,069
- Allegedly.
- In three bites.

156
00:08:22,169 --> 00:08:25,005
I wasn't there,
but Bishop told me the story.

157
00:08:27,107 --> 00:08:28,341
- Bishop?
- Yeah.

158
00:08:28,441 --> 00:08:30,191
She told me
she had taken a picture.

159
00:08:30,192 --> 00:08:31,477
Never seen it till now, though.

160
00:08:31,478 --> 00:08:32,845
Where'd you, uh,
where'd you find it?

161
00:08:32,846 --> 00:08:34,247
KNIGHT:
Hey.

162
00:08:34,347 --> 00:08:36,515
- Hey.
- Been looking for the two of you.

163
00:08:36,516 --> 00:08:38,952
Hey, just in time
for Nick's doughnut dilemma.

164
00:08:38,953 --> 00:08:40,587
- Oh, it's nothing.
- KNIGHT: Good, because

165
00:08:40,588 --> 00:08:41,789
what I have to say isn't.

166
00:08:41,889 --> 00:08:43,957
As of last night,
NCIS: ELITE has orders

167
00:08:44,057 --> 00:08:45,858
to arrest Eleanor Bishop.

168
00:08:45,859 --> 00:08:47,861
Bishop? You serious?

169
00:08:47,961 --> 00:08:51,398
I wish I wasn't. DoD's labeled
her as a wanted cyberterrorist.

170
00:08:51,399 --> 00:08:53,132
- Based on what?
- Can't share any specifics.

171
00:08:53,133 --> 00:08:54,967
Technically, I'm not even
supposed to be saying this much.

172
00:08:54,968 --> 00:08:56,236
Whole op is classified.

173
00:08:56,237 --> 00:08:57,904
You're risking
your spot in ELITE?

174
00:08:57,905 --> 00:09:00,440
I have a feeling I'm risking
a lot more than that.

175
00:09:00,441 --> 00:09:01,908
But I wanted you
to hear it from me

176
00:09:01,909 --> 00:09:03,676
and not read it
on the arrest report.

177
00:09:03,677 --> 00:09:05,177
McGEE:
And I'd rather you keep your job.

178
00:09:05,178 --> 00:09:06,579
If someone's gonna
go after Bishop,

179
00:09:06,580 --> 00:09:08,080
better it be someone
that we can trust.

180
00:09:08,081 --> 00:09:09,750
Right?

181
00:09:10,718 --> 00:09:12,352
You and Bishop were close.

182
00:09:13,153 --> 00:09:16,389
Hey. Do what
you have to do, Jess.

183
00:09:20,761 --> 00:09:22,262
Well, that was brief.

184
00:09:22,263 --> 00:09:23,696
Nick's having a weird morning.

185
00:09:23,697 --> 00:09:25,565
TORRES:
Six months ago,

186
00:09:25,566 --> 00:09:27,033
you brought me in
and told me that

187
00:09:27,034 --> 00:09:28,902
Bishop's team
was hit in Ukraine.

188
00:09:29,002 --> 00:09:30,436
No one had heard from them.

189
00:09:30,437 --> 00:09:33,607
I knew that you
and Bishop were close.

190
00:09:33,707 --> 00:09:35,775
So were McGee, Kasie and Jimmy.

191
00:09:35,776 --> 00:09:37,778
You didn't call them in.

192
00:09:42,916 --> 00:09:44,417
You think I was fishing.

193
00:09:44,517 --> 00:09:47,754
Trying to find out if you
and Bishop had been in contact.

194
00:09:47,755 --> 00:09:48,956
I wasn't.

195
00:09:49,056 --> 00:09:51,124
But now that you've
brought it up...

196
00:09:51,892 --> 00:09:53,761
- ...are you?
- If I was?

197
00:09:53,894 --> 00:09:56,184
Well, it would certainly
complicate things.

198
00:09:56,185 --> 00:09:57,930
As a federal agent,
you're obligated

199
00:09:57,931 --> 00:10:00,933
to report any contact
with a wanted fugitive.

200
00:10:00,934 --> 00:10:03,770
But as a former teammate
and a friend,

201
00:10:03,771 --> 00:10:06,306
seeing her again
would stir up things

202
00:10:06,439 --> 00:10:08,241
that you thought were buried.

203
00:10:08,341 --> 00:10:10,110
Not buried.

204
00:10:10,243 --> 00:10:11,444
Gone.

205
00:10:11,445 --> 00:10:13,780
Sounds like you've
already made your choice.

206
00:10:13,781 --> 00:10:15,348
(knock on door)

207
00:10:15,448 --> 00:10:17,858
- ASSISTANT: Director Vance.
- VANCE: Thank you.

208
00:10:21,822 --> 00:10:23,824
And not a moment too soon.

209
00:10:23,957 --> 00:10:26,459
A decoy file was just opened.

210
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,162
ELITE has Bishop's location.
They're mobilizing.

211
00:10:29,262 --> 00:10:31,031
I could make a call,
Agent Torres.

212
00:10:31,131 --> 00:10:32,700
Get you looped in.

213
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:34,668
Don't bother, sir.

214
00:10:34,802 --> 00:10:36,804
We're no longer partners.

215
00:10:37,637 --> 00:10:38,906
I'm done.

216
00:10:42,175 --> 00:10:43,677
(door opens)

217
00:10:49,182 --> 00:10:51,484
BISHOP:
I know that look.

218
00:10:52,853 --> 00:10:54,521
Nick.

219
00:10:57,357 --> 00:10:58,625
What's wrong?

220
00:10:58,726 --> 00:11:00,761
There's nothing's wrong.

221
00:11:00,861 --> 00:11:03,596
It's just that
everything is very, uh...

222
00:11:04,832 --> 00:11:06,665
...very right.
(chuckles)

223
00:11:06,666 --> 00:11:09,069
(laughs softly)

224
00:11:09,970 --> 00:11:12,672
What about Rule 12?

225
00:11:12,773 --> 00:11:15,242
"Never date a coworker"?

226
00:11:16,509 --> 00:11:17,845
I can keep a secret.

227
00:11:17,945 --> 00:11:20,347
From Gibbs and everyone else

228
00:11:20,447 --> 00:11:22,249
but never from each other.

229
00:11:23,350 --> 00:11:25,285
Never from each other.

230
00:11:25,299 --> 00:11:30,289
- What the hell, Ellie?
- I mean, if we worked, like,

231
00:11:30,290 --> 00:11:33,326
regular nine-to-five jobs,
things could be different.

232
00:11:33,426 --> 00:11:34,795
I get that.

233
00:11:34,796 --> 00:11:37,229
What I don't get is
why would you leave

234
00:11:37,230 --> 00:11:38,565
without saying a word?

235
00:11:38,698 --> 00:11:41,735
I didn't mean for us to happen.

236
00:11:42,903 --> 00:11:44,838
Goodbye, Nick.

237
00:11:44,938 --> 00:11:46,206
(elevator bell dings)

238
00:11:48,489 --> 00:11:53,212
- (elevator bell dings)
- McGEE: Hey, Nick, wait up.

239
00:11:53,213 --> 00:11:54,882
Thank you. Hey.

240
00:11:54,883 --> 00:11:56,482
- Hey.
- I don't know if you heard.

241
00:11:56,483 --> 00:11:58,593
ELITE has got a lead
on Bishop's location.

242
00:11:59,019 --> 00:12:01,221
Hey, uh, McGee,
I'm gonna head home, man.

243
00:12:01,222 --> 00:12:02,354
Not feeling well.

244
00:12:02,355 --> 00:12:04,105
All right, well,
feel better, man.

245
00:12:04,124 --> 00:12:05,725
Yeah. Thanks.

246
00:12:10,063 --> 00:12:12,299
KNIGHT:
Decoy file still active. Go.

247
00:12:13,834 --> 00:12:15,168
Fan out.

248
00:12:21,508 --> 00:12:23,576
- Holding.
- AMARI: Moving.

249
00:12:30,750 --> 00:12:32,485
Bishop was here.

250
00:12:50,637 --> 00:12:52,272
One casualty.

251
00:12:52,372 --> 00:12:53,639
Unidentified female.

252
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,009
AMARI:
All's clear. No sign of Bishop.

253
00:12:57,077 --> 00:12:58,127
(exhales)

254
00:12:58,178 --> 00:13:00,680
We adding murder
to her rap sheet?

255
00:13:09,456 --> 00:13:10,824
What up, Carl?

256
00:13:22,802 --> 00:13:24,637
(sighs)

257
00:13:24,737 --> 00:13:27,841
Last night
all I got was a photo.

258
00:13:28,589 --> 00:13:32,945
BISHOP:
I wasn't sure you were ready to see me.

259
00:13:32,946 --> 00:13:34,314
I'm not.

260
00:13:48,161 --> 00:13:49,863
Hey, Nick.

261
00:13:54,034 --> 00:13:55,668
You shouldn't be here.

262
00:13:56,836 --> 00:13:58,538
I was hoping we could talk.

263
00:13:58,638 --> 00:14:00,908
We can't. You're wanted.

264
00:14:03,410 --> 00:14:05,011
I have to report you.

265
00:14:05,012 --> 00:14:08,515
Hey, we've been through a lot.

266
00:14:11,651 --> 00:14:15,055
Okay, just let me say
one thing, okay?

267
00:14:15,842 --> 00:14:19,892
Your neighbor's cat
is about to eat Carl.

268
00:14:19,893 --> 00:14:21,761
What?

269
00:14:22,495 --> 00:14:23,545
(gasps)

270
00:14:24,831 --> 00:14:27,034
(exhales)
Really?

271
00:14:28,435 --> 00:14:30,037
Get off me.

272
00:14:33,540 --> 00:14:35,108
Sorry, Nick.

273
00:14:52,559 --> 00:14:54,260
(Torres groans)

274
00:14:54,261 --> 00:14:55,595
Okay.

275
00:14:55,695 --> 00:14:59,799
Before you say anything,
this was not plan A,

276
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:01,968
but you weren't exactly open
to a conversation.

277
00:15:01,969 --> 00:15:03,635
Now you don't have to choose
between trusting me

278
00:15:03,636 --> 00:15:04,938
or betraying the badge.

279
00:15:05,072 --> 00:15:07,439
Now you have to listen.

280
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:09,476
I'm not working
for the Russians.

281
00:15:09,477 --> 00:15:11,777
Yes, I have been
stealing DoD data

282
00:15:11,778 --> 00:15:13,612
but not for the reason
that they think.

283
00:15:13,613 --> 00:15:15,115
You broke into my place twice.

284
00:15:15,116 --> 00:15:16,748
- You got a reason for that?
- The first time

285
00:15:16,749 --> 00:15:18,117
was for your laptop.

286
00:15:18,118 --> 00:15:20,419
I needed your clearance
to pull files quietly.

287
00:15:20,420 --> 00:15:23,390
Well, it didn't work.
The file was a decoy.

288
00:15:24,291 --> 00:15:26,101
I passed that
to one of my teammates.

289
00:15:26,102 --> 00:15:27,893
- Sucks for them.
- They're good people.

290
00:15:27,894 --> 00:15:29,154
W-We were doing good work

291
00:15:29,262 --> 00:15:31,798
until six months ago
when we were ambushed.

292
00:15:31,898 --> 00:15:33,338
Well, I know what that's like.

293
00:15:35,969 --> 00:15:38,205
Look, no one knew where we were.

294
00:15:38,305 --> 00:15:39,638
No one.

295
00:15:39,639 --> 00:15:42,975
Only our DoD handlers,
so someone sold us out.

296
00:15:42,976 --> 00:15:44,844
- Then blow the whistle.
- I can't.

297
00:15:44,944 --> 00:15:46,546
Not until I know
who I can trust.

298
00:15:46,646 --> 00:15:49,416
That is why I came back
a second time, Nick.

299
00:15:49,516 --> 00:15:50,683
I trust you.

300
00:15:50,783 --> 00:15:52,485
You have a funny way
of showing it.

301
00:15:54,354 --> 00:15:58,391
And now... I'm tied to a chair.

302
00:15:59,659 --> 00:16:02,095
You're bleeding.
(stammers)

303
00:16:03,663 --> 00:16:05,999
(sighs)

304
00:16:10,437 --> 00:16:11,671
KNIGHT:
Annie Polk.

305
00:16:11,771 --> 00:16:15,308
Ex-analyst at CIA.
Disavowed four years ago.

306
00:16:15,408 --> 00:16:18,545
Dropped off the map only
to join a covert cyber team.

307
00:16:18,546 --> 00:16:20,346
Our dead body
has a familiar story.

308
00:16:20,347 --> 00:16:22,015
- Repeat of Bishop's.
- Mm-hmm.

309
00:16:22,016 --> 00:16:25,251
- Turns out, they were teammates.
- Never easy losing one of those.

310
00:16:25,252 --> 00:16:26,553
Poor Ellie.

311
00:16:26,554 --> 00:16:28,687
Well, for now
let's just focus on poor Annie.

312
00:16:28,688 --> 00:16:29,856
Poor Annie indeed.

313
00:16:29,989 --> 00:16:32,192
Uh, cause of death
was a cervical fracture.

314
00:16:32,193 --> 00:16:34,393
Her neck snapped clean,
but as you can see,

315
00:16:34,394 --> 00:16:36,662
there's no bruising,
there's no defensive wounds.

316
00:16:36,663 --> 00:16:39,031
- She never saw it coming.
- KNIGHT: Odd, considering that she had

317
00:16:39,032 --> 00:16:40,832
the same covert ops training
as Bishop.

318
00:16:40,833 --> 00:16:43,635
Which means the killer was
likely someone Annie trusted.

319
00:16:43,636 --> 00:16:45,538
A friend. Colleague.

320
00:16:45,638 --> 00:16:46,839
A teammate?

321
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:49,041
You don't think that Bishop...

322
00:16:49,042 --> 00:16:51,211
No, of course not.

323
00:16:51,344 --> 00:16:54,214
- But...
- But maybe don't finish that thought?

324
00:16:54,347 --> 00:16:55,547
Yeah.

325
00:16:55,548 --> 00:16:56,916
Okay. New thought.

326
00:16:56,917 --> 00:16:58,617
- Hmm.
- You were around back then.

327
00:16:58,618 --> 00:16:59,719
Was Ellick real?

328
00:16:59,819 --> 00:17:01,721
- Ellick. Huh?
- Or was it Nellie?

329
00:17:01,821 --> 00:17:03,056
You know.

330
00:17:03,156 --> 00:17:04,590
Nick/Ellie?

331
00:17:04,591 --> 00:17:06,825
(laughs) That-that is really
not my place to say.

332
00:17:06,826 --> 00:17:08,061
So that's a yes.

333
00:17:08,195 --> 00:17:10,485
Why does everybody
come to me for the gossip?

334
00:17:10,486 --> 00:17:12,198
Because you always know
the gossip.

335
00:17:12,199 --> 00:17:14,100
And, look, I get it.
I'm not judging.

336
00:17:14,101 --> 00:17:17,904
Lines blur.
Partners become... partners.

337
00:17:17,905 --> 00:17:19,938
Are we still talking
about Torres and Bishop?

338
00:17:19,939 --> 00:17:22,309
- Obviously.
- Hmm.

339
00:17:22,409 --> 00:17:23,943
But it's complicated, right?

340
00:17:23,944 --> 00:17:26,712
Someone you once cared about
suddenly shows up with a...

341
00:17:26,713 --> 00:17:28,014
body count?

342
00:17:28,115 --> 00:17:29,716
Yeah. Poor Nick.

343
00:17:29,717 --> 00:17:31,217
He's having a really weird day.

344
00:17:31,218 --> 00:17:34,221
- Yeah. I keep hearing that.
- Mm.

345
00:17:34,222 --> 00:17:36,955
You wouldn't happen
to know any gossip

346
00:17:36,956 --> 00:17:40,827
about Nick and a, uh,
doughnut dilemma?

347
00:17:45,432 --> 00:17:47,234
Okay, just hold still.

348
00:17:47,334 --> 00:17:49,769
- (hisses)
- It's just rubbing alcohol.

349
00:17:49,902 --> 00:17:51,304
This might sting.

350
00:17:51,404 --> 00:17:54,006
You know,
I got sober three years ago.

351
00:17:54,107 --> 00:17:56,876
Figure you'd be the one
to get me back on the bottle.

352
00:17:56,976 --> 00:17:58,944
(laughs softly)

353
00:17:58,945 --> 00:18:00,347
(Torres grunts)

354
00:18:02,382 --> 00:18:05,051
I know that look. What's wrong?

355
00:18:05,152 --> 00:18:06,486
What's wrong? Oh.

356
00:18:06,487 --> 00:18:08,220
No, everything's great.
Look at this.

357
00:18:08,221 --> 00:18:09,456
Look at this.

358
00:18:09,556 --> 00:18:11,424
- Peachy.
- (sighs)

359
00:18:13,126 --> 00:18:15,795
You're not angry I'm here.

360
00:18:15,895 --> 00:18:17,264
You're still angry I left.

361
00:18:17,364 --> 00:18:19,354
- You don't know that.
- Well, I know you,

362
00:18:19,399 --> 00:18:22,435
and you were always really bad
at hiding your feelings.

363
00:18:22,535 --> 00:18:25,003
You really are a romantic,
aren't you?

364
00:18:25,004 --> 00:18:26,906
Still looking for closure.

365
00:18:27,006 --> 00:18:28,508
- (groans)
- All done.

366
00:18:28,608 --> 00:18:30,210
I'm not looking for anything.

367
00:18:30,310 --> 00:18:31,578
I want my freedom.

368
00:18:31,579 --> 00:18:33,679
- And some cashews.
- (laughs): Oh, my God.

369
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:35,182
Still with the cashews?

370
00:18:35,282 --> 00:18:38,318
You? You're gonna judge
my-my snack choices?

371
00:18:38,418 --> 00:18:43,690
Okay, well, I left because I had
a chance to push myself.

372
00:18:43,790 --> 00:18:45,825
To matter in a different way.

373
00:18:45,826 --> 00:18:48,560
- Well, that was clear
five years ago. - Because it's true.

374
00:18:48,561 --> 00:18:50,962
Yeah, but it's not
the whole truth. It's an excuse.

375
00:18:50,963 --> 00:18:53,533
- You don't know that.
- I know you.

376
00:18:53,534 --> 00:18:55,301
And I know when
you're holding back.

377
00:18:55,302 --> 00:18:57,904
Fine.
Then tell me what you want.

378
00:18:58,004 --> 00:19:00,206
I want you to be honest with me!

379
00:19:00,207 --> 00:19:03,009
I want you to tell me
why you really left.

380
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:09,682
(phone buzzing)

381
00:19:12,285 --> 00:19:15,555
I have to take this.

382
00:19:18,358 --> 00:19:21,928
And you need to stop
working those zip ties.

383
00:19:24,197 --> 00:19:26,098
(sighs)

384
00:19:27,300 --> 00:19:28,701
KASIE:
Jonathan Lin,

385
00:19:28,702 --> 00:19:30,602
cybersecurity expert,
part of Bishop's team,

386
00:19:30,603 --> 00:19:31,971
now missing.

387
00:19:32,071 --> 00:19:34,574
Patricia Kovach,
Ukrainian intel,

388
00:19:34,674 --> 00:19:37,377
was killed in the ambush
six months ago.

389
00:19:37,510 --> 00:19:39,620
- And you know this one.
- McGEE: Annie Polk.

390
00:19:39,646 --> 00:19:42,382
- The woman in autopsy.
- This is Bishop's entire team.

391
00:19:42,515 --> 00:19:45,051
Three names, three faces,
all gone.

392
00:19:45,052 --> 00:19:46,685
- It's like they're being hunted.
- Exactly.

393
00:19:46,686 --> 00:19:49,989
No-no hits on the who,
but I might know the why.

394
00:19:49,990 --> 00:19:51,257
Bishop's team made waves.

395
00:19:51,258 --> 00:19:53,626
Took down
disinformation networks,

396
00:19:53,726 --> 00:19:55,526
rebuilt digital infrastructures,

397
00:19:55,595 --> 00:19:57,497
uh, saved countless lives.

398
00:19:57,498 --> 00:19:59,831
- So, Bishop's team
were the good guys. - Mm-hmm.

399
00:19:59,832 --> 00:20:03,903
Speaking of good guys, I need
one to sign that supply form.

400
00:20:04,003 --> 00:20:05,604
Very routine, wildly boring.

401
00:20:05,605 --> 00:20:07,674
- Hmm.
- (clears throat)

402
00:20:07,774 --> 00:20:09,242
Uh...

403
00:20:09,342 --> 00:20:12,077
Quantum Optics Conference?

404
00:20:12,078 --> 00:20:14,968
Kasie, this isn't a supply form,
this is a travel request.

405
00:20:15,047 --> 00:20:17,750
Light. Matter. Reykjav�k.

406
00:20:17,751 --> 00:20:19,618
Wait, the conference
is in Iceland?

407
00:20:19,619 --> 00:20:22,955
Well, I would be the only
U.S. representative there.

408
00:20:23,055 --> 00:20:24,257
Think of the optics.

409
00:20:24,258 --> 00:20:26,224
You know, I'm pretty sure
Vance is, uh,

410
00:20:26,225 --> 00:20:27,594
focused on other optics.

411
00:20:27,595 --> 00:20:29,094
You know, like Bishop's manhunt.

412
00:20:29,095 --> 00:20:31,197
MARSH:
My manhunt.

413
00:20:32,064 --> 00:20:33,833
Erin Marsh, DoD.

414
00:20:33,933 --> 00:20:36,803
This case may now be
a homicide investigation,

415
00:20:36,936 --> 00:20:38,871
but Bishop is still the target.

416
00:20:38,971 --> 00:20:40,273
- Target?
- Where are we?

417
00:20:40,274 --> 00:20:42,474
Uh, the recovered laptop
belongs to Annie Polk,

418
00:20:42,475 --> 00:20:44,944
former CIA
encryption specialist.

419
00:20:45,077 --> 00:20:47,647
Which means
I can't crack it yet.

420
00:20:47,780 --> 00:20:49,349
But we are working on it.

421
00:20:49,449 --> 00:20:50,617
Mm-hmm.

422
00:20:52,051 --> 00:20:53,986
Is that your whole update?

423
00:20:56,323 --> 00:20:58,491
No. No. Certainly not all.

424
00:20:58,625 --> 00:21:01,328
Okay, toxicology came back
on Annie's blood work.

425
00:21:01,461 --> 00:21:03,930
Look at that right there.
Succinylcholine.

426
00:21:04,030 --> 00:21:06,833
Surgical paralytic.
Fast-acting, usually injected.

427
00:21:06,834 --> 00:21:08,867
But there were no
injection marks on Annie's body.

428
00:21:08,868 --> 00:21:10,369
Well, however it was delivered,
it would explain the lack

429
00:21:10,370 --> 00:21:11,937
of struggle
before her neck was snapped.

430
00:21:11,938 --> 00:21:14,441
The killer had
covert ops training.

431
00:21:14,541 --> 00:21:15,675
Like Bishop.

432
00:21:15,775 --> 00:21:17,344
Excuse me?

433
00:21:17,345 --> 00:21:19,311
What Kasie meant to say was:

434
00:21:19,312 --> 00:21:21,146
Bishop is not
a cold-blooded killer.

435
00:21:21,147 --> 00:21:22,348
KASIE:
But I might be if people keep

436
00:21:22,349 --> 00:21:24,350
trash-talking my Bish.

437
00:21:24,351 --> 00:21:25,652
That's sweet.

438
00:21:26,786 --> 00:21:28,855
But five years is a long time.

439
00:21:28,988 --> 00:21:30,256
People change.

440
00:21:30,357 --> 00:21:33,860
Sometimes into someone
you don't recognize.

441
00:21:39,832 --> 00:21:41,501
TORRES:
You should leave.

442
00:21:41,634 --> 00:21:43,001
Get a head start.

443
00:21:43,002 --> 00:21:44,971
Disappear.

444
00:21:45,071 --> 00:21:47,206
You're good at that.

445
00:21:47,306 --> 00:21:48,707
You hear me?

446
00:21:48,708 --> 00:21:50,042
(phone beeps)

447
00:21:51,344 --> 00:21:53,045
(sighs)

448
00:21:55,281 --> 00:21:56,683
(sets down phone)

449
00:22:00,620 --> 00:22:02,221
I was scared.

450
00:22:03,490 --> 00:22:04,857
What?

451
00:22:04,858 --> 00:22:08,193
Back then
I didn't tell you I was leaving

452
00:22:08,194 --> 00:22:10,029
because I was afraid.

453
00:22:10,129 --> 00:22:13,032
I was afraid
you'd ask me to stay.

454
00:22:15,968 --> 00:22:18,671
And I was afraid I'd say yes.

455
00:22:20,373 --> 00:22:21,974
That's the whole truth.

456
00:22:27,346 --> 00:22:29,248
That call.

457
00:22:29,348 --> 00:22:30,749
What was it?

458
00:22:30,750 --> 00:22:32,885
Annie's dead.

459
00:22:32,985 --> 00:22:36,022
One of my team.
And it's my fault.

460
00:22:36,122 --> 00:22:39,258
No, you were right.
I-I gave her the decoy file.

461
00:22:39,358 --> 00:22:41,561
I put her in danger.

462
00:22:41,661 --> 00:22:44,896
(sighs)
I lost Patricia six months ago.

463
00:22:44,897 --> 00:22:45,947
Now Annie.

464
00:22:46,065 --> 00:22:47,899
Jonathan's the last one, and...

465
00:22:47,900 --> 00:22:49,530
he won't even tell me
where he is.

466
00:22:49,531 --> 00:22:51,903
I brought them together.
They were my team,

467
00:22:51,904 --> 00:22:53,239
my responsibility,

468
00:22:53,339 --> 00:22:55,408
and now they're all
being hunted.

469
00:22:57,243 --> 00:22:59,946
I already lost one team
when I left NCIS.

470
00:23:00,046 --> 00:23:01,448
I can't lose another.

471
00:23:02,915 --> 00:23:04,751
I need your help.

472
00:23:10,356 --> 00:23:11,824
Hold that thought.

473
00:23:13,460 --> 00:23:14,861
Someone's here.

474
00:23:14,961 --> 00:23:16,896
Hey, quick. Uncuff me.

475
00:23:16,996 --> 00:23:18,130
There's no time.

476
00:23:18,230 --> 00:23:20,199
What do you mean
there's no time? Wait.

477
00:23:21,067 --> 00:23:23,369
(both grunting)

478
00:23:28,575 --> 00:23:30,042
Jess?

479
00:23:31,678 --> 00:23:33,513
Nick?

480
00:23:33,514 --> 00:23:35,113
I can explain.

481
00:23:35,114 --> 00:23:36,648
TORRES:
Oh, boy.

482
00:23:36,649 --> 00:23:39,218
- (grunting)
- No, no, no, stop, stop, stop.

483
00:23:45,492 --> 00:23:47,626
(both grunting)

484
00:23:47,627 --> 00:23:48,961
Watch out for Carl!

485
00:23:49,095 --> 00:23:50,797
Knight! Bishop!

486
00:23:50,798 --> 00:23:51,930
Stop it. Stop it!

487
00:23:51,931 --> 00:23:53,164
What are you doing here?

488
00:23:53,165 --> 00:23:54,215
I came to talk to Nick.

489
00:23:54,300 --> 00:23:55,635
So you tied him to a chair?

490
00:23:55,768 --> 00:23:57,158
- (strains)
- TORRES: Stop.

491
00:23:58,004 --> 00:23:59,304
He was being difficult.

492
00:23:59,305 --> 00:24:00,673
Yeah. That tracks.

493
00:24:00,773 --> 00:24:02,475
(Bishop and Knight grunting)

494
00:24:02,575 --> 00:24:04,110
(zip tie snaps)

495
00:24:09,348 --> 00:24:11,317
(both panting)

496
00:24:11,417 --> 00:24:13,019
We done?

497
00:24:13,953 --> 00:24:15,354
TORRES:
Yes, we are done.

498
00:24:15,488 --> 00:24:16,923
Can you uncuff me now?

499
00:24:17,023 --> 00:24:19,559
BISHOP:
I hope that chair wasn't a gift, Nick.

500
00:24:22,094 --> 00:24:24,196
You didn't tell me
Jess was coming.

501
00:24:24,296 --> 00:24:25,831
I didn't know Jess was coming.

502
00:24:25,832 --> 00:24:28,602
I only came because I found out
about the fritter photo.

503
00:24:28,603 --> 00:24:30,401
When were you gonna
mention who left it?

504
00:24:30,402 --> 00:24:31,903
Look who's keeping secrets now.

505
00:24:31,904 --> 00:24:33,972
- Hey, this is not about me.
- No, it's about her.

506
00:24:33,973 --> 00:24:36,675
Your team's being hunted,
which means you're next.

507
00:24:36,676 --> 00:24:38,510
Come in and we can help you.

508
00:24:38,511 --> 00:24:40,212
There's a mole.
I show my face now,

509
00:24:40,312 --> 00:24:42,047
we lose any shot
at finding them.

510
00:24:42,048 --> 00:24:44,183
Yeah, that tracks, too.

511
00:24:44,283 --> 00:24:45,885
Guess you're the swing vote.

512
00:24:47,620 --> 00:24:49,355
Bishop is right.

513
00:24:49,488 --> 00:24:52,859
If we come in,
we don't know who to trust.

514
00:24:54,661 --> 00:24:56,028
And I trust her.

515
00:24:58,230 --> 00:24:59,565
That's good enough for me.

516
00:24:59,566 --> 00:25:01,734
Really? Just like that?

517
00:25:01,834 --> 00:25:04,537
He trusts you, I trust him.

518
00:25:04,637 --> 00:25:06,606
That's how teams work.

519
00:25:07,907 --> 00:25:09,141
What do you need?

520
00:25:09,241 --> 00:25:11,544
If the files I downloaded
were a decoy,

521
00:25:11,644 --> 00:25:13,274
then I still need
the real thing.

522
00:25:13,279 --> 00:25:16,949
Which means I'll need a SCIF
and a computer genius.

523
00:25:18,217 --> 00:25:19,451
McGEE:
Really?

524
00:25:19,452 --> 00:25:20,819
Bishop called me a genius?

525
00:25:20,820 --> 00:25:22,588
She needs access to MTAC,

526
00:25:22,589 --> 00:25:25,725
to download intel that could
possibly expose the mole.

527
00:25:25,726 --> 00:25:27,258
Well, why didn't she
come to me first?

528
00:25:27,259 --> 00:25:29,495
Uh, because you and Bishop
didn't date.

529
00:25:29,596 --> 00:25:32,098
- As far as I know.
- What surprises me is Torres.

530
00:25:32,099 --> 00:25:33,431
I mean, he seemed ready
to walk this morning.

531
00:25:33,432 --> 00:25:35,501
Well, maybe they talked it out.

532
00:25:35,602 --> 00:25:36,736
Nick? Talk?

533
00:25:36,737 --> 00:25:38,336
Handcuffing him to a chair
probably helped.

534
00:25:38,337 --> 00:25:39,571
Mm, that tracks.

535
00:25:39,572 --> 00:25:41,608
Well, MTAC's one thing, but...

536
00:25:41,609 --> 00:25:44,109
how are we gonna sneak Bishop
into the building

537
00:25:44,110 --> 00:25:45,612
without triggering alarms?

538
00:25:45,745 --> 00:25:47,580
I'm open to suggestions.

539
00:25:47,714 --> 00:25:49,081
Genius.

540
00:25:51,517 --> 00:25:52,652
(sighs)

541
00:26:01,594 --> 00:26:02,794
(clears throat)

542
00:26:02,795 --> 00:26:04,631
(inhales sharply)

543
00:26:04,731 --> 00:26:06,432
Really committing to the bit.

544
00:26:06,532 --> 00:26:09,969
Sorry. I thought I'd get
a nap in while I had the chance.

545
00:26:12,805 --> 00:26:14,473
Welcome home.

546
00:26:14,573 --> 00:26:15,708
Thanks.

547
00:26:17,409 --> 00:26:18,778
McGee. Your idea worked.

548
00:26:18,878 --> 00:26:21,447
- Was there ever any doubt?
- No. (laughs)

549
00:26:21,547 --> 00:26:23,349
Don't mind me,
I just missed my B.

550
00:26:23,449 --> 00:26:25,351
Missed you too, Kasie.
Oh, my gosh.

551
00:26:25,352 --> 00:26:27,152
Please don't let go.
You're so warm.

552
00:26:27,153 --> 00:26:28,920
I forgot this place
is like a meat locker.

553
00:26:28,921 --> 00:26:30,288
(laughs)
Okay. Figured you'd say that.

554
00:26:30,289 --> 00:26:34,226
You left this in my lab
years ago.

555
00:26:34,326 --> 00:26:36,256
Thank you. I promise
I will give it back.

556
00:26:36,328 --> 00:26:38,965
Okay, so, I assume
you've all been briefed?

557
00:26:39,065 --> 00:26:40,767
You need access to a DoD server.

558
00:26:40,768 --> 00:26:43,034
KASIE: To ID the mole
before ELITE arrests you.

559
00:26:43,035 --> 00:26:45,271
Problem is,
the files are triple-locked.

560
00:26:45,272 --> 00:26:47,906
- DoD's is DEFCON Paranoid.
- McGEE: Even logging in

561
00:26:47,907 --> 00:26:49,908
from MTAC could trip
a dozen different alarms.

562
00:26:49,909 --> 00:26:53,412
Which is why I brought...
this. WraithRoot.

563
00:26:53,512 --> 00:26:56,315
Next-gen cloaking software.
Totally untraceable.

564
00:26:56,415 --> 00:26:58,084
Built by my teammate Annie.

565
00:26:58,085 --> 00:26:59,685
Oh, well, perfect.
Then we're good.

566
00:26:59,686 --> 00:27:02,855
Mostly, uh, but the program
is biometrically locked,

567
00:27:02,989 --> 00:27:05,490
so only Annie can activate it.

568
00:27:05,491 --> 00:27:09,662
And Annie
is extremely unavailable.

569
00:27:09,796 --> 00:27:11,362
BISHOP:
Yeah.

570
00:27:11,363 --> 00:27:12,799
That's the good news.

571
00:27:12,899 --> 00:27:15,401
We don't need all of her.

572
00:27:17,804 --> 00:27:20,006
(device chirping)

573
00:27:20,106 --> 00:27:21,941
This Annie was your partner?

574
00:27:24,010 --> 00:27:26,240
I'd hate to see
what you'd do to your enemies.

575
00:27:29,048 --> 00:27:30,983
BISHOP:
All right. Thanks, Annie.

576
00:27:31,083 --> 00:27:33,018
We'll finish what you started.

577
00:27:33,019 --> 00:27:34,687
All right.

578
00:27:36,122 --> 00:27:39,258
Okay,
I am seeing asset locations,

579
00:27:39,358 --> 00:27:40,526
mission logs...

580
00:27:40,527 --> 00:27:42,027
- Anything here jump out at you?
- Not yet.

581
00:27:42,028 --> 00:27:44,463
- But it's in here. Somewhere.
- Good.

582
00:27:44,464 --> 00:27:47,232
Torres and Knight can only keep
this room clear for so long.

583
00:27:47,233 --> 00:27:48,633
You're really sticking
your necks out.

584
00:27:48,634 --> 00:27:50,235
Technically,
we're not breaking the law.

585
00:27:50,236 --> 00:27:55,074
NCIS has clearance,
we're just using it quietly.

586
00:27:55,207 --> 00:27:56,575
I meant working with me.

587
00:27:56,709 --> 00:27:59,211
Yeah, that part's
definitely illegal.

588
00:27:59,311 --> 00:28:00,612
(laughs softly)

589
00:28:01,881 --> 00:28:03,883
I've missed you, McGee.

590
00:28:04,884 --> 00:28:07,319
How's Delilah? And the twins?

591
00:28:08,154 --> 00:28:09,204
- Chaos.
- Yeah?

592
00:28:09,288 --> 00:28:11,290
- Yeah. Good chaos.
- (chuckles)

593
00:28:11,390 --> 00:28:12,925
(laughs softly)

594
00:28:13,025 --> 00:28:15,260
(keyboard clicking)

595
00:28:15,261 --> 00:28:16,562
Hey.

596
00:28:17,329 --> 00:28:20,099
About me leaving NCIS.

597
00:28:20,199 --> 00:28:22,601
I never explained why.

598
00:28:24,003 --> 00:28:25,571
You don't owe me that.

599
00:28:26,372 --> 00:28:28,741
Yeah, I think maybe I do.

600
00:28:28,841 --> 00:28:30,777
Ellie, I always understood.

601
00:28:30,910 --> 00:28:32,311
I've been here 20 years.

602
00:28:32,411 --> 00:28:35,281
Takes guts to walk
into the unknown like that.

603
00:28:36,082 --> 00:28:37,649
But you did it.

604
00:28:38,584 --> 00:28:41,520
I mean, do I wish
that you had said goodbye to me?

605
00:28:42,388 --> 00:28:44,190
Sure.

606
00:28:44,957 --> 00:28:46,826
But I never blamed you.

607
00:28:53,732 --> 00:28:55,667
Yes, ma'am.

608
00:28:56,468 --> 00:28:57,603
(exhales sharply)

609
00:28:57,703 --> 00:28:59,138
That was awkward.

610
00:28:59,238 --> 00:29:01,107
Marsh is calling me
directly now.

611
00:29:01,207 --> 00:29:05,778
As ELITE leader, I have been
ordered to be your shadow.

612
00:29:05,878 --> 00:29:08,347
In case Bishop makes contact.

613
00:29:08,447 --> 00:29:10,016
Well...

614
00:29:11,417 --> 00:29:12,518
...has she?

615
00:29:12,618 --> 00:29:14,821
Depends on how
you define "contact."

616
00:29:14,954 --> 00:29:16,288
As far as Marsh knows,

617
00:29:16,422 --> 00:29:18,290
ELITE is hot on the trail.

618
00:29:19,959 --> 00:29:21,760
Thank you.

619
00:29:23,229 --> 00:29:26,165
Just hoping if roles were
reversed, you'd do the same.

620
00:29:26,298 --> 00:29:27,666
Are you kidding?

621
00:29:28,634 --> 00:29:31,470
I'd write your alibi
in my own blood.

622
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:36,475
(door opens, closes)

623
00:29:36,575 --> 00:29:39,511
Agents Knight, Torres.
You burning the midnight oil?

624
00:29:39,611 --> 00:29:41,421
Just following up
on a lead from DoD.

625
00:29:41,422 --> 00:29:43,748
Unconfirmed Bishop sighting.
Could be nothing.

626
00:29:43,749 --> 00:29:45,283
Well, we're here.
Let's go find out.

627
00:29:45,284 --> 00:29:46,854
- KNIGHT: In MTAC?
- Actually,

628
00:29:46,953 --> 00:29:48,587
there is something else, sir.

629
00:29:49,488 --> 00:29:51,858
Something you need to see.

630
00:29:56,528 --> 00:29:58,530
VANCE:
The hell am I looking at?

631
00:29:59,698 --> 00:30:02,368
I think we'd better talk
in your office.

632
00:30:05,137 --> 00:30:07,005
I'll call
if that lead checks out.

633
00:30:07,006 --> 00:30:08,407
Mm-hmm.

634
00:30:09,341 --> 00:30:11,210
(phone buzzing)

635
00:30:14,613 --> 00:30:16,515
(phone buzzing)

636
00:30:20,352 --> 00:30:22,054
(sighs)

637
00:30:22,188 --> 00:30:23,789
KNIGHT:
I got your messages.

638
00:30:23,890 --> 00:30:25,357
Kase? You good?

639
00:30:25,457 --> 00:30:27,226
Yeah, well...
(clears throat)

640
00:30:27,326 --> 00:30:28,995
...desperate times, et cetera.

641
00:30:28,996 --> 00:30:30,695
I think we've been in that zone
since breakfast.

642
00:30:30,696 --> 00:30:32,130
Oh. (scoffs)
Tell me about it.

643
00:30:32,131 --> 00:30:33,899
While Bishop and McGee
have been joyriding

644
00:30:33,900 --> 00:30:36,068
through DoD back channels
in MTAC,

645
00:30:36,202 --> 00:30:38,170
I took another stab
at Annie's laptop.

646
00:30:38,171 --> 00:30:39,804
Cracked her additional layer
of security.

647
00:30:39,805 --> 00:30:42,241
That's when things
got really weird.

648
00:30:42,341 --> 00:30:44,243
You know that's not
a stylus, right?

649
00:30:45,511 --> 00:30:46,612
I do now.

650
00:30:46,712 --> 00:30:49,448
Uh, Annie was running
covert audits.

651
00:30:49,449 --> 00:30:50,982
Cross-checking mission logs.

652
00:30:50,983 --> 00:30:52,243
The kinds of things you do

653
00:30:52,244 --> 00:30:54,419
when you think
someone's been compromised.

654
00:30:54,420 --> 00:30:56,787
- We figured Annie was betrayed
by someone she trusted. - So did she.

655
00:30:56,788 --> 00:30:58,723
That's why she was spying
on her own team.

656
00:30:58,724 --> 00:31:01,059
- She thought one of them
was the mole. - Except,

657
00:31:01,060 --> 00:31:02,860
Bishop's team
only had three members:

658
00:31:02,861 --> 00:31:04,897
Patricia, Annie and Jonathan.

659
00:31:04,898 --> 00:31:07,198
- And two of them are dead.
- Which means Jonathan's not hiding

660
00:31:07,199 --> 00:31:09,168
- from the mole...
- Jonathan is the mole.

661
00:31:09,169 --> 00:31:11,402
- Mm-hmm.
- Bishop was betrayed by one of her own.

662
00:31:11,403 --> 00:31:13,605
Oh, in more ways than one.

663
00:31:13,606 --> 00:31:15,406
It gets worse,
because I found this

664
00:31:15,407 --> 00:31:17,743
buried in a locked
permissions folder.

665
00:31:17,744 --> 00:31:19,077
A marriage certificate?

666
00:31:19,078 --> 00:31:21,513
For Jonathan Lin
and Eleanor Bishop.

667
00:31:21,613 --> 00:31:22,814
He's her husband?

668
00:31:22,915 --> 00:31:24,905
I checked the metadata
and the records.

669
00:31:24,906 --> 00:31:26,684
It's legit.
They were legally hitched.

670
00:31:26,685 --> 00:31:28,586
A small detail that Bishop
somehow forgot to mention.

671
00:31:28,587 --> 00:31:32,791
Yeah, I'd leave that out, too,
if I were asking my ex for help.

672
00:31:38,264 --> 00:31:39,365
McGee?

673
00:31:39,465 --> 00:31:40,832
(McGee groans)

674
00:31:41,700 --> 00:31:43,602
McGee?

675
00:31:43,702 --> 00:31:44,752
Are you okay?

676
00:31:44,803 --> 00:31:45,938
Oh...

677
00:31:46,038 --> 00:31:48,274
- Ugh. I've been better.
- What happened?

678
00:31:48,374 --> 00:31:49,976
- Where's Bishop?
- Not sure.

679
00:31:50,109 --> 00:31:51,944
We found the files she needed.

680
00:31:52,078 --> 00:31:55,814
The next thing I know,
I'm face down on the floor.

681
00:31:55,860 --> 00:31:59,050
Well, looks like
she drugged you.

682
00:31:59,051 --> 00:32:00,552
Yeah, and played us all.

683
00:32:06,465 --> 00:32:09,860
KNIGHT:
Bishop knew how to disappear.

684
00:32:09,861 --> 00:32:11,696
Which doors to use,
which cameras to avoid.

685
00:32:11,697 --> 00:32:13,432
McGEE:
Yeah, she ghosted us,

686
00:32:13,433 --> 00:32:16,267
- without a word, again.
- Unless you count a needle in the neck.

687
00:32:16,268 --> 00:32:18,069
- You sure she didn't
say anything? - McGEE: I'm positive.

688
00:32:18,070 --> 00:32:20,139
We got the files,
she got a text and then

689
00:32:20,239 --> 00:32:21,872
- I was lights out.
- If she ran,

690
00:32:21,873 --> 00:32:23,241
there was a reason.

691
00:32:23,242 --> 00:32:25,043
- She's protecting someone.
- KNIGHT: Yeah.

692
00:32:25,044 --> 00:32:26,378
- Herself.
- Or the mole,

693
00:32:26,379 --> 00:32:28,379
because, you know,
she's married to him.

694
00:32:28,380 --> 00:32:29,414
It doesn't change anything.

695
00:32:29,415 --> 00:32:31,050
- Nick, she lied.
- Okay.

696
00:32:31,150 --> 00:32:33,385
She didn't tell me everything.
I admit that.

697
00:32:33,485 --> 00:32:36,255
But what she did say about
trying to protect her team, I...

698
00:32:37,023 --> 00:32:38,390
That was real, man.

699
00:32:38,524 --> 00:32:39,891
- I felt it.
- Okay. Nick?

700
00:32:39,992 --> 00:32:41,360
I hate to say this,

701
00:32:41,460 --> 00:32:44,130
but I think maybe Bishop
wanted you to feel that way.

702
00:32:44,230 --> 00:32:45,564
Maybe Bishop only told you

703
00:32:45,565 --> 00:32:47,198
- what you wanted to hear.
- No, no.

704
00:32:47,199 --> 00:32:48,533
- We're missing something.
- Besides the feeling

705
00:32:48,534 --> 00:32:50,068
- in my neck?
- Look, if Jonathan Lin

706
00:32:50,069 --> 00:32:52,971
is the mole,
then Bishop is not the threat.

707
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:55,341
She's the target.

708
00:32:55,342 --> 00:32:57,908
And I'm not letting that happen.

709
00:32:57,909 --> 00:32:59,345
Nick.

710
00:32:59,445 --> 00:33:01,547
I trust her. You don't have to.

711
00:33:09,021 --> 00:33:10,589
Hello?

712
00:33:18,930 --> 00:33:20,631
Jonathan?

713
00:33:20,632 --> 00:33:22,801
? ?

714
00:33:28,807 --> 00:33:30,976
? ?

715
00:33:37,616 --> 00:33:39,851
I have the files.

716
00:33:59,138 --> 00:34:02,274
- (gas hissing)
- (coughing)

717
00:34:06,445 --> 00:34:07,846
(coughing continues)

718
00:34:07,979 --> 00:34:10,648
(gas hissing)

719
00:34:10,649 --> 00:34:11,849
TORRES:
Is it working?

720
00:34:11,850 --> 00:34:13,251
- Where is she?
- KASIE: Somewhere

721
00:34:13,252 --> 00:34:15,086
in Fairfax.
Still narrowing the signal.

722
00:34:15,087 --> 00:34:17,617
- All right, when you get it,
you send it to me. - Yeah.

723
00:34:18,112 --> 00:34:20,691
You put a tracker on Bishop?

724
00:34:20,692 --> 00:34:21,759
KASIE:
In the jacket I gave her.

725
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:22,928
It was his idea.

726
00:34:22,929 --> 00:34:24,162
- Thought you trusted her.
- TORRES: I do.

727
00:34:24,163 --> 00:34:25,997
Trust but verify.

728
00:34:25,998 --> 00:34:27,665
You still planning
on playing lone wolf here?

729
00:34:27,666 --> 00:34:29,667
- Didn't think I had a choice.
- You don't.

730
00:34:29,668 --> 00:34:30,935
Because we're coming with you.

731
00:34:30,936 --> 00:34:32,671
That's how teams work.

732
00:34:32,672 --> 00:34:34,239
KASIE:
Aww, you guys are adorable.

733
00:34:34,240 --> 00:34:36,141
And while the group-hug energy
is strong,

734
00:34:36,142 --> 00:34:38,076
maybe sign my travel form?

735
00:34:39,611 --> 00:34:40,979
- Location?
- No, not yet.

736
00:34:40,980 --> 00:34:42,847
But I've also been
pulling comms data from MTAC.

737
00:34:42,848 --> 00:34:44,598
Every inbound signal
gets logged.

738
00:34:44,650 --> 00:34:47,018
You know what?
Bishop got a text right before

739
00:34:47,019 --> 00:34:49,019
- I blacked out.
- Yep, from a burner phone.

740
00:34:49,020 --> 00:34:50,655
I traced the number,
pulled the message.

741
00:34:50,656 --> 00:34:52,358
"Change of plan. New location.

742
00:34:52,458 --> 00:34:54,526
Come alone or not at all."

743
00:34:54,626 --> 00:34:56,562
That sounds like a threat.

744
00:34:56,662 --> 00:34:59,030
- Bishop didn't run.
- She was lured.

745
00:34:59,131 --> 00:35:00,932
By her own husband?

746
00:35:01,833 --> 00:35:03,001
Where?

747
00:35:09,841 --> 00:35:11,877
(grunts softly)

748
00:35:18,284 --> 00:35:19,918
We had a deal.

749
00:35:21,052 --> 00:35:24,055
I hand over the files,
you hand over Jonathan.

750
00:35:26,292 --> 00:35:28,727
I burnt every bridge I had left.

751
00:35:28,827 --> 00:35:31,096
I hurt people I care about.

752
00:35:31,197 --> 00:35:33,399
I did my part. Where is he?

753
00:35:44,410 --> 00:35:45,611
Patricia?

754
00:35:46,645 --> 00:35:48,414
- I thought you were...
- Dead?

755
00:35:48,514 --> 00:35:50,015
Yeah.

756
00:35:50,916 --> 00:35:53,452
The mole. It was you.

757
00:35:53,585 --> 00:35:55,421
But you were one of us.

758
00:35:55,554 --> 00:35:56,755
Was.

759
00:35:56,855 --> 00:35:58,624
Then I got tired
of risking my life

760
00:35:58,724 --> 00:36:00,426
for a cause that couldn't win.

761
00:36:00,559 --> 00:36:02,528
Someone else offered more.

762
00:36:02,628 --> 00:36:05,664
More money, more power.

763
00:36:09,735 --> 00:36:11,937
Cute. You left the encryption.

764
00:36:11,938 --> 00:36:13,604
If I hadn't,
I'd already be dead.

765
00:36:13,605 --> 00:36:16,174
- Give me the code.
- Not until I see him. Alive.

766
00:36:21,447 --> 00:36:22,948
He's right down the hall.

767
00:36:23,749 --> 00:36:25,917
And still breathing.

768
00:36:26,017 --> 00:36:27,152
Oh, for now.

769
00:36:27,153 --> 00:36:28,953
But the longer
he inhales that gas,

770
00:36:28,954 --> 00:36:30,789
the more permanent the damage.

771
00:36:30,922 --> 00:36:32,624
- No, please.
- The code.

772
00:36:37,763 --> 00:36:39,331
The hell?

773
00:36:40,466 --> 00:36:41,666
(keyboard clicking)

774
00:36:41,667 --> 00:36:43,369
Someone hacked the system.

775
00:36:45,771 --> 00:36:47,839
Stay put.

776
00:36:58,784 --> 00:37:00,151
(grunts)

777
00:37:04,823 --> 00:37:06,157
- Hey.
- You good?

778
00:37:06,158 --> 00:37:08,158
Yeah, yeah. Jonathan-
he's down the hall.

779
00:37:08,159 --> 00:37:09,995
- Please, go.
- You want me to get him?

780
00:37:10,095 --> 00:37:12,931
No. I got him.

781
00:37:22,641 --> 00:37:25,176
(Jonathan coughing)

782
00:37:29,615 --> 00:37:31,750
- (gas hissing)
- (exclaims)

783
00:37:39,725 --> 00:37:41,259
PATRICIA:
No!

784
00:37:48,066 --> 00:37:49,601
Federal agents! Freeze!

785
00:37:50,436 --> 00:37:52,704
Don't move. Get her out of here.

786
00:37:53,672 --> 00:37:55,407
Call a medic, now.

787
00:37:57,443 --> 00:37:59,044
(Jonathan coughing)

788
00:37:59,177 --> 00:38:00,579
Nick? Jonathan?

789
00:38:00,679 --> 00:38:01,747
Jonathan is not hit.

790
00:38:01,847 --> 00:38:04,215
Torres? Are you with us?

791
00:38:04,316 --> 00:38:06,117
(Torres grunts)

792
00:38:06,217 --> 00:38:07,819
(groans)

793
00:38:07,919 --> 00:38:09,720
Oh...

794
00:38:09,721 --> 00:38:11,390
Ouchie.

795
00:38:13,725 --> 00:38:15,594
She ruined my favorite vest.

796
00:38:15,727 --> 00:38:16,895
You saved his life.

797
00:38:16,995 --> 00:38:19,398
You took a bullet
for my teammate.

798
00:38:19,498 --> 00:38:20,731
(panting)

799
00:38:20,732 --> 00:38:22,422
Well, he's more
than that, Ellie.

800
00:38:22,501 --> 00:38:24,102
What are you talking about?

801
00:38:24,202 --> 00:38:26,438
He's your husband.

802
00:38:31,042 --> 00:38:32,878
(laughs softly)

803
00:38:33,579 --> 00:38:36,281
See? You really are a romantic.

804
00:38:37,282 --> 00:38:40,285
Even if my vows
were strictly business.

805
00:38:41,587 --> 00:38:43,455
VANCE:
So, the marriage

806
00:38:43,555 --> 00:38:44,723
isn't real?

807
00:38:44,823 --> 00:38:46,692
Real enough, on paper.

808
00:38:46,792 --> 00:38:50,295
A handy cover to cross borders
and stay off radars.

809
00:38:50,429 --> 00:38:54,433
Something I could've told you
if DoD had been in the loop.

810
00:38:54,533 --> 00:38:56,134
Consider yourself looped.

811
00:38:56,234 --> 00:38:59,237
Patricia Kovach set up
her own team,

812
00:38:59,238 --> 00:39:01,972
faked her death, tried to finish
the job last night?

813
00:39:01,973 --> 00:39:04,442
She pulled the trigger, but
someone else pulled the strings.

814
00:39:04,443 --> 00:39:06,812
- Funded her, fed her intel.
- Maybe.

815
00:39:06,912 --> 00:39:08,680
We'll round up
the usual suspects.

816
00:39:08,780 --> 00:39:10,281
Let's talk Bishop.

817
00:39:10,382 --> 00:39:12,192
Technically,
no longer a suspect,

818
00:39:12,217 --> 00:39:14,485
but the DoD still has questions,

819
00:39:14,486 --> 00:39:16,755
especially about
the missing files.

820
00:39:16,855 --> 00:39:18,790
- Files?
- Classified DoD intel

821
00:39:18,890 --> 00:39:21,560
was accessed last night.

822
00:39:21,660 --> 00:39:23,962
- Curious timing.
- Curious indeed.

823
00:39:23,963 --> 00:39:25,896
It's a shame
that former Agent Bishop

824
00:39:25,897 --> 00:39:27,666
vanished after the takedown.

825
00:39:27,799 --> 00:39:29,501
In the wind.

826
00:39:29,601 --> 00:39:30,801
- Again.
- Mm-hmm.

827
00:39:30,802 --> 00:39:34,239
If she turns up,
we'll be in touch.

828
00:39:36,141 --> 00:39:38,510
BISHOP: Sorry again
about your neck, McGee.

829
00:39:38,644 --> 00:39:40,144
Asking for help was one thing,

830
00:39:40,178 --> 00:39:43,148
but asking you to risk your life
for me and my team?

831
00:39:43,248 --> 00:39:45,238
- Couldn't do that.
- Now you know better.

832
00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:47,017
- (laughs softly)
- And hey, this time,

833
00:39:47,018 --> 00:39:48,253
I get a goodbye.

834
00:39:48,353 --> 00:39:50,155
And a thank-you.

835
00:39:50,288 --> 00:39:51,857
To both of you.

836
00:39:51,990 --> 00:39:53,358
From both of us.

837
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:56,361
KNIGHT:
So,

838
00:39:56,462 --> 00:39:57,663
back into the storm?

839
00:39:57,664 --> 00:39:59,464
Yeah, well,
Patricia wasn't working alone,

840
00:39:59,465 --> 00:40:01,331
and there are other teams
like ours out there

841
00:40:01,332 --> 00:40:03,535
who have no idea
that they're targets.

842
00:40:03,536 --> 00:40:05,002
- You're gonna warn them.
- Yeah, and find

843
00:40:05,003 --> 00:40:06,471
whoever's behind this
and stop them.

844
00:40:06,472 --> 00:40:08,138
Well, if you ever need
any backup,

845
00:40:08,139 --> 00:40:10,175
you know where to find us.

846
00:40:10,275 --> 00:40:12,678
Maybe just call or text first.

847
00:40:12,778 --> 00:40:14,513
Mm. No promises.

848
00:40:17,282 --> 00:40:18,584
(grunts)

849
00:40:21,186 --> 00:40:22,821
Thank you.

850
00:40:22,921 --> 00:40:24,923
(motorcycle approaching)

851
00:40:36,702 --> 00:40:38,136
(engine turns off)

852
00:40:50,181 --> 00:40:52,083
Nick.

853
00:40:52,084 --> 00:40:54,218
- You didn't have to come.
- Oh, yeah, I did.

854
00:40:54,219 --> 00:40:56,955
We made a promise to each other
a long time ago.

855
00:40:57,889 --> 00:40:59,424
No secrets.

856
00:41:00,325 --> 00:41:04,095
I used to think goodbye
was easier if I didn't say it.

857
00:41:05,096 --> 00:41:06,464
And now?

858
00:41:08,033 --> 00:41:10,401
Now I'll save us both
the trouble.

859
00:41:13,404 --> 00:41:14,973
Come with me.

860
00:41:28,754 --> 00:41:31,122
For now, my place is here.

861
00:41:32,591 --> 00:41:34,292
And mine's out there.

862
00:41:35,193 --> 00:41:36,928
I know.

863
00:41:47,873 --> 00:41:49,307
? ?

864
00:42:12,430 --> 00:42:14,633
