He named his computer Martha Stewart. Because once I'm done inputting files in

her, she'll know everything about everything.

Turns out, that SUV wasn't following Lala. It was tailing Randy because of

some of that stuff he was typing into the computer.

But we didn't know until later that he was even gone.

Where Manny is, the sheriff is retiring.

Change could do me good.

Lala, it's me!

I tried to leave, but I couldn't. I wanted you to ask me to stay.

Will you stay?

I only wish.

It could have lasted forever.

I came to Alaska to find peace.

And to put pen to paper.

So Lala's story didn't die with me.

Five years later, I had that piece.

I like my life here.

And I liked who found me here.

You're welcome.

Come and get it.

Lunch.

Let's eat.

Damn dog.

Hey.

What are you doing? Come on. Lunch.

oh you've been down at the river huh you got birds in your feet again yeah come

on come on you're okay you're good you're good

just breathe okay go eat

One down, one to go.

I came here to find peace and to tell Lala's story.

But 34 years after I first kissed her, the ghost from my past found me.

And it all started that night.

Hey, it's Lala. You know what to do.

Ignore him Why do you wear so many shirts?

Better?

Ignore him

Oh, I forgot. I forgot you got shot.

I'm sorry.

I did too.

Sorry.

I can't.

He's killing me.

Mike!

Oh, good. You're home.

I'm with you here.

Where are you?

In that moment, I couldn't believe it took me so long to trust my gut.

Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. No, I'm listening. I'm listening.

Which had always been telling me.

Yeah. She was all I ever needed. Be right there.

Franks needs our help.

Ours?

May he stay?

Yeah.

You know, that body will still be there in ten minutes.

Ten minutes?

Really?

Wow.

I figured this was just another case.

You coming?

And after that, we'd pick up right where we left off.

But if I knew then what I know now, I would have never let us walk out that

door.

NCIS.

Let's see. He's going to take some getting used to. How you doing, Chief?

Better than this poor guy.

Hell of a way to go.

Floor of it, damn John.

Gunshot to the gut.

What's with you, man, and the camera?

I ain't got a choice. I'm the only one here.

Is everyone out?

Oh, we threw a big old party last night celebrating the new scene. Now nobody's

answering the pager. Saw Vera pull up with a cab out there.

What the hell's the cabinet for? Because I'm drunk.

I was partying like it's 1999 up in that bitch. You don't look drunk.

I just hide it well. And unlike those lightweights we work with, when duty

calls, Vera Strickland suits up and shows up.

Watch your step, Vera.

Hammered.

Your gear's not bad.

Puttin' up your shirt, though.

I can't.

You broke the buttons when we ripped it off.

Okay, well, then zip up your jacket.

I don't want Frank's asking questions. Relax, he won't even notice.

Toby, where the hell you been?

Why are you dressed like a Cuban dope dealer?

Buttons broke, you know. How the hell did that happen?

They got caught in my refrigerator door.

Damn,

tough break. Y'all heard from Randall? He's still not here?

Boy, and I'm good all this alcohol.

I took some photos, but...

I don't know. I'll redo them.

Hey.

I'm thinking two words.

Conjugal visit.

After this, you go visit your boy Manny, you shake the rafters, get it out of

your system, come back home with your blonde.

Okay, Mike.

What do we got? All right.

Are you still drunk?

Mm-hmm.

Sergeant Zachary Crudeau, 23, Marine MP.

His watch commander said he was on night shift, took a stroll on his child break,

never came back. You ready to call this watch commander?

Been around morning probing. Thought I'd make myself useful.

Well, there's no evidence in this nasty-ass stall.

What's up, kids?

Where's your new threads?

You didn't read your letter.

The Mingus almost quit on us.

What's he talking about?

I left a letter in your locker, but don't bother reading it. Okay, but you

might have to remind me later. I'm plastered.

Defensive wounds? No. I don't think he saw it coming.

While it was missing, I think the killer followed him and robbed him.

Then he took a knee right here. Look. I don't need to look, Broby. Remember what

I said about being here all morning?

So he shoots him, then kneels here to check for a pulse.

I bet you he grabbed this sink on its way down.

I bet you're right.

Didn't hear you say that, Franks. I was getting there.

Randy should be here with the fingerprint kit. He must be close by

now. And I'm sick of waiting.

Y'all got tape in your bag?

Uh, yeah. Why?

Probably.

I'm about to blow y'all's minds.

That right there is Lady Fred!

Not bad.

Randy will be bummed he missed that.

Get that to Woody.

Woody, what are you doing here?

I've been trying to call, no one's answering.

Everybody left, and I've been in and out cleaning up. What's wrong?

Phil's on with 911.

I didn't know what else to do but come here. 911 for what?

We were locking up, and we saw Randy's car in the parking lot.

The driver's door is open and his pager's on the ground.

I think Randy was taken.

I understand, Director.

Yes, yes, we already have a couple of leads.

Yes, sir, we are going to find Agent Randolph and bring him home safely.

This is a nightmare. Leeds? What Leeds? It is Director Morrow's first day and we

just had one of our agents kidnapped. I'm trying to calm his nerves.

What do we know?

Security footage outside forensics showed Randall being tossed into an SUV.

Looks like the same one that was following us yesterday.

Bolo? It's out. No hits yet.

Harm is on his way here, right now with Junie and Junior.

Randall's family. So we think they're in danger too.

We don't know what's going on, Cliff. Better safe than sorry. This is a

nightmare. You said that already. And Randy, of all people, he's like a

frolicking ray of sunshine. I'm so sorry to interrupt.

What, Gail?

I need to find Barrett's cigar cutter. I put it away after it was fired from me.

I'm in creepy pants.

What is she talking about? I didn't want to add to your spiral, sir, but former

regional director Barrett is also on his way in to be interviewed.

Interviewed for what? Turns out our murdered MP, Sergeant Pluto, used to be

Barrett's driver.

Mike, Polo got a hit. An SUV matching our description was spotted at the quick

and swift. We're headed there now to see if there are any cameras. Go.

Ooh, Leroy Jethro nips.

I'm gonna take another look outside of forensics. Make sure we didn't miss

nothing. I want you back in time to interview Barrett. I got it. After what

he pulled, I don't want that sleazebag alone with any of our women. That is

very sweet, sir. Thank you. But if he tries anything, I'll just shank him.

And I don't want Vera alone with him.

Okay? I want him in and out, Franks. Announce the plan, Cliff.

So I can get back to finding that boy.

Go faster.

Yeah, station security cameras must have caught something. What if they did it?

Can't believe I let this happen.

What are you talking about? I assumed the SUV was following me. I thought it

had something to do with the Chakalis and Manny.

Come on. Look at this now.

I'm going around it. Hang on.

I think the station's right up here.

There's no way you could have known they were going after Ren. I should have at

least considered it. And I would have if I wasn't so distracted by my own crap.

This isn't on you.

Just get the tape.

I tell you, I never thought I'd set foot in this place again.

So your former driver, Sergeant Crudo. Is your rat have a boss in there?

Sergeant Crudo.

Y'all keep in touch since you got canned?

You know, I haven't talked to him in a couple of months.

Where's Mary Jo with my coffee? Any enemies you might have?

Good kid like that, I can't imagine somebody wanting to off him. I thought

you said this had all the earmarks of a random robbery.

Crudo's wallet was taken, but we're keeping her options open.

There she is. Hey, there's my beauty queen. You are a sight for sore eyes,

honey. Hey, listen, Barrett, we got something happening here, so... Could

you fetch me a couple sugars for that sugar?

Sugar's over there.

Help yourself.

Oh.

Do you got anything to help us with Critto or not? All I know, when I got

the shaft, so did he. Anybody within a whiff of me got either fired or demoted.

All thanks to your rat of a boss in there.

This ain't going nowhere. Little does he know, my life got better after I left

this... Hell hole. I mean, sure, my wife took off on me, but good riddance, all

right? I got a younger girlfriend now. I got a six-figure job opportunity in

corporate security, huh? What do you think about that, you rat? Maybe you

should be more concerned about your delinquent son and failed marriage, huh?

Don't you ever talk about my family! Oh, there's the rat king himself, huh?

Getting you fired was the highlight of my career. No, the best thing that ever

happened to me.

They're all yours.

I'm swinging, I'm on me.

I'm on me, I'm swinging.

I'm turning over for this.

Romy, what do you got? Guy at the station said the SUV pulled in to get

gas. Heard a bunch of yelling, then it sped off. They got cameras.

Queuing it up now.

Franks, good news.

Woody called. That fingerprint you lifted at the crime scene got a match.

The print belongs to the victim, Sergeant Crudo.

How's that good news?

That print lifting thing you did with the dirt worked.

Nice job, man.

Oh, and speaking of the dirt, Woody found some kind of mystery substance

mixed in it. They're testing it now.

Okay, let us know.

Hey, Frank, you got nothing?

No, not really.

Figured you might want this back.

Thanks, MJ.

I read your goodbye letter.

It put quite a scare in me.

Yeah.

My bad.

Your change of heart have anything to do with Gibbs' wardrobe malfunction?

God help us all.

It ain't queued up yet.

Gas station guy said the SUV got gas around 1223.

I'm almost there. Who doesn't gas up before a kidnap?

Oh, there we go. There's our SUV.

He knows there's cameras.

Ain't letting us get a good look at his face.

What's the deal with the taillights?

Faulty wiring, maybe?

Look, Paul Capp sees it, too.

It's Randy.

He's in the back, messing with the wiring.

How are you getting that?

It's Moore's code.

Randall knew there were cameras, too.

What's he trying to tell us?

U-S-S-R.

U-S-S-R.

Randy's telling us it's the Russians that grabbed him. They ain't gonna go

easy on him. Go easy on him? The Russians aren't gonna leave Randy

breathing.

Joonie, sweetie.

I know, baby.

What the hell is happening?

Did the Russians really take my husband?

We're gonna figure this out, Joonie. I've seen Red Dawn, Gibbs.

You're good.

You're good.

Just breathe.

Don't worry. We'll find your dad.

it's your best buddy special agent gary callahan no uncle just about to take

gary out to go play do you want to go yeah i know a bear would like that uh if

it's okay with mom yeah of course you want to go yeah come on fellas

let's do it let's do it let's do it

Don't hold back, Gibbs.

I want to know everything.

Randy mentioned he was having any trouble lately.

Anything with Russians.

Randy? My Randy?

What about that poker game he plays in?

Does he owe anybody any money?

They play for peanuts.

Jimbo.

Don't pay no attention to what Carl said out there.

He's an idiot.

Randy's a fighter.

I'll see you later.

We're going to find him.

Drink up, sweetheart.

This chamomile calms the nerves.

San Diego PD just found the SUV dumped in the field.

Brando wasn't in there. There was blood, though.

They're having to talk to forensics now.

I was thinking this might be payback for some Russian we put away, but I went

through all the files and nothing jumps out. Any Russian who takes a fetting,

street level.

They gotta be connected.

J.J. me.

If it is, them boys are thick as thieves and tight-lipped. We gotta find a way to

get one talking.

J.J.

He flipped a rush.

J.J.

Really?

Vera, it was J.J.

Yeah, okay. Thank you. Thanks.

That was Crudo's bunkmate. He said Crudo was planning on taking leave.

Big vacation to Belize.

Interesting, huh?

Yeah, keep at it. Where's JJ at? Looking for me?

You take your food into the bathroom?

Have a spot, I keep it.

Gail said you flipped a Russian.

Oh! Gail said JJ said what?

Helen JJ?

Yeah. I, uh...

May have been a little drunk and exaggerated.

Vera's the one who flipped him. So you're lying?

You're just trying to impress me to get me back in the set?

Yeah, it worked.

Dirty dog. Oh, God, please, make it stop. Who's your informant? Name's

Vladimir Volkanov. Moscow planted him here in 86, and he is quite the

character. How'd you turn him? Guy's obsessed with Hollywood movies.

He can't shut up about them, so I, uh... I made him laugh, but I couldn't refuse.

I can't believe we bought this commie bastard a blockbuster. I can't even get

Gary's vet bills reversed.

Why do you knock so loud?

And you promised to always come around the back.

I ain't promised you crap.

Well, hell, Vladimir, this ain't the American dream. I don't know what is.

I am pinching myself every day.

And please, call me back.

We need you to watch this tape, Vlad. Yes, Vera told me.

I'm sorry to hear about your friend's troubles.

You know, in Moscow, they turned me into a spy.

They showed me Hollywood movies so that I could understand my enemy. But

instead, these movies just make me love America.

Terminator, Dancing,

Weekend at Bernie's.

Peter!

I got stuck.

Yeah, Samushka.

I told you, come and get me if you get stuck.

Look what you've done.

Okay, go on. Go clean it up.

Lab! It's okay.

We have many more VCRs. After all, this is Blockbuster.

Come.

You know who he is.

No.

I wasn't asking.

This is not what I signed up for. You think all this is free?

You're an informant in form.

These men are monsters.

Even just speaking of them could get my entire family killed. Our friend they

grabbed, he's got a family too. A little boy just like yours.

This is not my problem.

You want me to tell him, Moscow, you're working for us?

You ain't holding the cards, pal.

Give us a name.

A name!

Maxim.

I recognize his limp.

Why'd they take our guy?

I cannot say for sure.

But I know that the Kremlin has been looking for Navy secrets.

And they will not stop until they get them.

Where can we find this Maxim?

Watch your back.

Randy?

Mama, I got him. He's in here. Is he alive?

He's chained to the floor.

Randy?

I got him. I got him.

This place is going to blow.

OK.

Come on, Randy.

Come on,

bud. Come on. Hey, Randy?

Randy? Come on. Come back to us, buddy.

Yeah. There you go. Breathe. Hey. Hey. Hey.

There you are.

You're good.

You're here.

You make a big mistake.

Stand up.

Your hand.

I did not know anyone was in there. They tell me the trailer has asbestos, so

they sent me to burn.

He's dead.

Who's they?

Ha! Yeah, right.

I ain't buying it.

Watch the hair, man!

I told you, I'm good.

Sir, you're in respiratory distress.

You have head trauma, potential facial fractures. You need a hospital. No, I'm

sad. I'm good. I'm good.

Give us a minute.

Hey, what's up, guys?

I'm digging the new hats.

You told Junie I'm okay? Yeah, we just radioed.

Okay.

Are you, uh...

Too banged up for a hug?

Never.

Wait, how about you quit?

Oh, you come back just to help find me.

Got that prick loaded up in the car.

Thought we lost you, pal.

Yeah, I didn't feel a pulse.

It's because I did that thing you taught me, and it worked.

What thing?

The kids and I, we were tying one on a dailies one night, and he showed me this

marine breathing technique.

Basically, you go all Zen master, and you breathe so shallow that your heart

rate slows, and your pulse becomes super hard to find.

You played a puzzle model. I can't believe that worked. I've only used it

as a party trick. Yeah, but I kind of went too far and totally passed out.

Or maybe that had more to do with them beating me senseless, trying to get me

to talk.

Wow, that is a lot of chest, my guy.

Thanks for wanting to know, man.

What'd they want to know?

My password to Martha, too, but I never copped it up.

That's what they want to get in your computer for.

Blockbuster Boy said the Russians are looking for Navy secrets. Some of the

stuff you've been inputting is classified, right? Yeah, a lot of it.

Who's Blockbuster Boy? He's the guy who said the Russians aren't going to stop

until they get those secrets. I doubt the guy we caught is going to talk.

Yeah, he's already stonewalling, claiming he didn't even know Randa was

in there.

He thinks there's no witnesses.

You tell him I'm alive?

No, I did not.

Well, if it's all right with you, boss, I'd like to tell him myself.

Oh, Randolph.

Looking good for a dead guy.

Thanks, Vera.

And, you know, I saw Roy upstairs booking that bastard. It took everything

in me not to kick the guy in the nuts.

That is so sweet.

Randy's doing the interrogation himself.

Whoa! Dude's gonna freak out when he sees that Randy's still alive.

I'm so sorry. No, it's okay.

I'm gonna go plan my big entrance. I'm thinking I'm either gonna do noon walk

or jazz hands.

Yeah.

See you guys over there.

All right, so...

Take a look at Sergeant Crudo's newly cleaned hand.

What are those, letters?

How'd they get on his hand? Right, so check it. A bunch of MPs on base have

these bags, okay? Brand name is Ordain Tactical.

I think he was carrying it like so, and there was something heavy in it, so they

left an imprint.

So Crudo brought a bag to the beach very late last night.

Doesn't sound like a casual stroll to me. Maybe he was meeting up with someone

to make a deal and it went bad.

Maybe I'm a genius.

Oh. Or maybe I read your goodbye letter.

I told you not to read that.

I know.

I defied you.

Sit.

Hit me with it.

What happened to your fresh start?

I packed up. I took off.

Music was blasting. Windows were down. I felt great.

I felt free.

And then I hit desert. And every radio station dropped off except for one.

Yacht Rock.

Oh.

We hate Yacht Rock.

Yeah, so I was drowning in Christopher Cross. So I drove in silence, obviously.

And then it was just me.

And I didn't feel free anymore.

I felt like a coward.

Why?

Because I realized I wasn't running too many.

I was running from Gibbs.

Okay, well, does Gibbs know how you feel?

Girl, I don't even know how I feel.

Twelve hours ago, I was leaving Nagopi with Manny, and suddenly I'm hooking up

with Gibbs. No, wait, what?

Did you bang Roy?

Inside voice.

No.

No.

Frank's called, and he was talking about how the bathroom smelled, and it was a

whole thing.

Okay, so what now? Are you and Gibbs finally going to give it a go, or what?

Lala?

Yeah, I'm back here.

Randy's headed into the box. I didn't think you'd want to miss it.

Oh, thanks.

I'll be right there.

Surprise!

Your face!

I was dead. Look at me.

Clearly not.

It's a lot to process.

You want me to give you a minute? You had no pulse.

Dude, what can I say?

I'm a walking miracle.

Well, I guess more like a nightmare for you.

And I heard you told my boss this little tale about you. I don't know what to do

with what's going on here, but... Oh, you missed it. This prick saw Randall's

damn jaw hit the floor.

Did he go moonwalk?

Jazz hands.

I think we...

He's really enjoying this. So am I.

He

is

so screwed.

But if you're willing to talk, we might just cut you a deal.

What kind of deal?

One where you don't die in prison.

We were hired to take you and get the password to your computer.

Hired by who?

I do not know.

Here, I thought you were smart enough.

No, wait a minute. We find work on online Russian message boards.

Okay, so somebody under alias Johnny Doe, he paid us 10 grand,

you know, after we provided the password.

But what are you talking about? I never gave you the password.

You didn't have to.

We found it written down on cards in your wallet.

You're lying.

Gingers just want to have fun.

Three, two, one.

Is that not your password?

Dang it, Kale! Tell me that ain't your password.

It's my password, boss. We gotta lock up Martha, too.

Why did she put it in your wallet? I gave it to her as a backup, told her to

keep it somewhere safe. She said she had an intuitive place for it. I thought she

meant a safe. Shut up. A safe, Gail. No, Gail.

It's okay. It's a pay. I'm just going to change my password.

I just want to have fun. Three, two, one.

That was going on.

My password isn't working.

Try it again.

I just want to have fun.

Bag?

What?

There's no scuff.

I remember when Frank Scott annoyed through a Zippo at me. Martha right here

left a scuff.

It's gone.

This isn't your computer. Someone wants to swap it out with a replica.

So the Russians have your computer and the password.

And every Navy secret inside it.

I'm not seeing any prints, Bob.

Whoever swapped the computers must have worn gloves. Only an idiot wouldn't, and

an idiot didn't pull this off.

The Russian says he doesn't know how the computer was stolen. His part was just

getting the password. When's the last time you used your computer?

After I left the party last night, around 10.45.

The party?

Everybody was distracted, drunk. I bet it was stolen then.

So that means what, someone at NCIS is a Russian spy?

Anything's possible, but we ain't starting with our own. Who else had

access to the building last night?

Just the base guard's patroller. Get me that list.

There were 10 guards on duty. I want backgrounds on all these boys. Call

their watch commanders, their mamas. Call the whips.

Sergeant Crudo. Who?

Around the same time you were kidnapped, this guy was murdered.

Vera was working it. Can't be a coincidence.

Mary Jo!

I'm right here.

Give me Vera.

So we're thinking Crudo was doing some kind of deal, right? Yeah, he was

carrying a bag with something heavy in it, and he was planning a trip to

Belize.

This ain't life. So Crudo gets flipped by the Russians, steals my computer,

then they kill him. He was a loose end.

Franks, my office now.

Got a busy clip?

I'm on hold with Director Morrow and he wants to talk to you too.

Why me?

Because you're lead on the case and he wants an update on our latest calamity.

Get up here!

Find any connection Crudo has to the Russians. Find me his buyer, dammit, and

catch Vera!

Vera's caught up. And I got something hot off the presses.

Crudo made 17 calls last week, all to the same payphone on 63rd and Jefferson.

Could be calling his buyer.

Yeah, I sent Carl down to dust for prints.

Well, it's a public phone. It's gonna be caked in prints. What else you got?

Uh, the stuff in the dirt around the body?

Woody figured out it was ash. Still trying to work out where from. There was

a bonfire right outside the bathroom. Maybe some ash blew in.

63rd and Jefferson.

Guess who needed a ride home from Daly's one night after having too much and

happens to live two blocks away?

I got Tom for this, Cliff.

Special Agent in Charge Cliff Wheeler speaking.

Of course. He wants to talk to you.

We think we know who the buyer is.

Mike! Who?

It's Ron Barrett.

Our former regional director.

Are they serious? Yes, think about it, sir. After you got him fired, he was

disgruntled, and he knew I was inputting all those secrets into the computer. And

Sergeant Crudo was his driver for years. They were close.

Barrett said they hadn't talked in months. He was lying. Crudo made a bunch

of calls to a payphone two blocks from Barrett's house. And he didn't have any

six-figure job offers. He made it up. He's radioactive since the scandal.

It's circumstantial, but it ain't nothing.

If we are going to arrest the former regional director of a federal agency...

We need a smoking gun. We need to haul him back in. Let's just get a lawyer up.

What we need is something that puts him on that beach next to the damn body.

Or he might have it.

What if those ashes weren't from that bonfire?

We need to get this to Woody.

Woody matched the ash he pulled from the crime scene to Barrett's overpriced

fancy-ass Colombian cigar.

A cigar just rare enough to get his ass locked up for life.

Turns out when he shot Crudo, he leaned over to check the pulse, and some cigar

ash fell off and landed right there next to him.

My name is Mary Jo Hayes.

It's not honey, or doll, or baby.

For years you have treated me like a piece of meat that was here for your

entertainment. You have no idea what that feels like.

But where you're going...

You got to find out.

Sugar.

Perry was pissed he got fired and saw his chance for payback in a payday.

And the computer?

He got it back before he could offload it.

Nothing pulled from it. What about the guy that grabbed Randy?

Telling everything about the weather.

Gave up the two goons he did it with.

Live to die another day.

Oh.

I'm quite sure why Dominguez changed her mind, but good news.

She ain't quitting.

Lala was quitting?

Never mind, Cliff.

In that moment, everything in the world felt right.

Everything felt perfect.

But unfortunately,

Perfect never lasts.

In Lala's letter to me, she told me how much I've hurt her.

She said, I don't know what I want.

Doubts I ever will.

She told me she trusts me with her life.

But can never give me her heart.

You read my letter.

You still feel that way?

How could I not?

I was here the whole time, Gibbs.

Feeling what I thought you were feeling, too, and then you ran off and got

married.

Yeah.

You broke my heart.

I'm sorry.

You don't owe me an apology.

I just... I deserve someone who won't let anyone or anything get in the way.

And I know what I want now, Lala.

I want you.

I need to know I'm not just the next one. No, you're not the next one.

You're the one.

Prove it.

Wait for me.

With everything that's happened, I just need some time.

I don't wait as long as it takes.

Without getting married again?

Well, that's kind of a big ask, but... I can do that.

And whatever happens or doesn't happen between us, promise me

that it will never get in the way of them.

Kids show us the thing. Yeah, the breathing technique. He taught Randy We

want to see it, but Juni won't let him do it again.

She's pretty might die. Randy's whipped. No, please don't do this.

I Mean it is a party trick and This looks like party I

Say again, I want to sleep at a party track

Concentrate this this takes a lot out of you

We celebrated that night because we saved Randy.

We thought it was all over.

But this was the case that started it all.

Saving Randy came at a price.

And what I didn't know then is 34 years later, I'd be paying mine.

Okay, Gibbs.

Don't go too far.

You hear me?

Don't go too far, Gibbs.

He said one down one to go so I knew someone close to me

was in trouble

Just when I thought I was out, they pulled me back in.

Time to get to work.

I came to Alaska to find peace.

And to tell Lala's story.

But turns out, the story of her isn't hers alone.

It's ours.

And the final chapter is still being written.
