All language subtitles for NCIS S20E10 Too Many Cooks (1)_Track03

And Bonnie here
is a bromeliad.

Please don't ask
me to spell that.

And so she needs
to be kept moist,

but not soggy.

Also...

she likes to be whispered to.

Full disclosure.

I probably won't
do that last part.

I appreciate your honesty.

And your excellent note-taking.

Don't sound so surprised,
Mr. Harding.

I am surprised, Libby.

Why? Because I'm young

and people my age are
usually cynical?

No. Because you agreed
to apartment sit

and people my age
don't usually pay well.

Picking ten albums
from your record collection

does seem fair to me.

Just not the Manilow, okay?

Okay. Boomer.

I guess I asked for that one.

Okay, so we still have to go
over the living room plants.

Wait.

You didn't say your vacation
was someplace warm.

My price just went up.
Jealousy tax.

What? I always wear that shirt
whenever I visit...

...Idaho.

12 albums.

Or your plants can slowly die

along with
the rest of the planet.

I'll let you think about it.

Be back later.

Oh, Libby.

Hello?

How did you get this number?

Don't try to find me.

Libby?

Is that you?

You know, this is the third time

Kasie has sent us out
for a supply run.

Yeah. She either needs
to stop throwing parties

or we need to stop agreeing
to be her gophers.

First it was Ducky's birthday,
then it was Susan in HR

with a housewarming.
And then...

now it's a-it's
a retirement party

for a guy I don't even like.

Oh, come on, everybody
likes the professor.

Not everybody.

He was my favorite
instructor at FLETC.

Kind of a cross between Robin
Williams from Dead Poets Society

and, uh, the professor
on Gilligan's Island.

What? No way.

More like the dude
from Whiplash.

If the professor were
a pathological hard-ass,

why would federal agents
from around the world

come to his party?

I don't know.
Maybe you should ask them.

Can we help you?

Yes.

Where do you keep
your extra staples?

Hey.
I don't.

I've got them in my upper
right drawer, Agent Boone.

Thanks, Jess.
Sorry about the invasion

of privacy, but we were
given direct orders.

Uh, by General Hines?

Yes. We got here a day early
for the retirement party, and

Kasie put us on decorating duty.

Well, she's hard to say no to.
Yeah, tell us about it.

Hey, look, it's the least we
can do for the professor--

after all, his classes

on threat response
have saved me more than once.

Hey, he was the one
who suggested I switch

from D.C. Homicide to NCIS.
The man changed my life.

You're not the only one.

Yeah, that's for sure.

Listen to this.
Over the last 30 years,

the professor has taught

47,410 federal trainees

and recertified
60,902 active personnel.

That's, uh,
wildly specific, McGee.

Kasie asked me
to crunch the numbers.

She's giving a toast later,
and she knows

the professor can be
a real stickler for details.

He always used to say, "You
can't spell details without..."

"Dotting the I's
and crossing the T's."

Well, FLETC will, uh,
miss his mantras.

I never thought the cockroach
would actually retire.

The cockroach?
Mm-hmm.

See? I'm not the only one
who hates the guy.

No, that was his nickname
at the FBI. We loved him.

Well, whatever you called him,
we, uh...

we had lunch last week,
and he, uh,

definitely seems happy
to be hanging up his spurs.

Wow, happy? Like
Gibbs is in Alaska?

Speaking of-- he
probably knew the professor.

Any chance of Gibbs
showing up to the party?

I doubt it.

Although, you know what?
The professor

did mention
that Gibbs and him went

on a few fishing trips
back in the day.

So you're saying
there's a chance?

No, there's not.

Because the party's off.

I'm... I'm very sorry

to have to report
Professor Dale Harding

was found dead this morning
in his apartment.

What happened, Director?

The initial report suggests
that he died by suicide.

Suicide? That-that...
that can't be right.

No, it can't.

Then I guess we got work to do.

Well, this is awkward.

But I think
you all forgot something.

Like what?

It was a joke.
I thought

you were gonna take
the next elevator.

You're obviously welcome
to any of our crime scenes.

Your crime scenes?
Interesting.

She's special agent in charge
of the entire Pacific Rim, Nick.

I'd choose your next words
very carefully.

No words is
also a choice.

Very true. Amen.

All right, all
I'm saying is that

this is not the Pacific,
this is D.C., and, uh,

we do things a certain way here.

Mm.

Does that way
include moving the body

before you process the scene?

Oh. Hi, guys.

Uh, Jimmy,
what are you doing?

Yeah. Who authorized you
to release the body?

We did.

Agents Callen and Hanna.

Agent Tennant.

McGee!
Oh, it's been a while.

Yeah. What the hell
are you guys doing here?

I guess it hasn't
been long enough.

Still using the
old DSLRs, huh?

Standard-issue equipment.
Unlike, uh, color-dye gloves.

Well, you know,
they work the same as yours.

Well, until the dye rubs off

and contaminates
the evidence.

Look, we're not trying to step
on anyone's toes coming here.

We were in D.C.
for the professor's party.

We heard the bad news
when we landed.

We had to find out
if it was true.

And was it?

We never got to see the body.

It was true.

And it was not pretty.

Single gunshot
under the chin.

Fresh GSR,
consistent blood spatter.

It was suicide.

I had lunch with the professor
a few days ago,

and he seemed fine.

Talking big
about retirement plans.

Like a trip to Cabo.

He had a ticket to leave
at the end of the week.

Yeah, suicide
doesn't make sense.

Not for the cockroach.

Your class called him that, too?

Out of respect.

You and Parker have high
opinions of primitive insects.

They're survivors.
And so was Dale Harding.

The man taught
incident preparedness

and threat response, and one
of his many mantras was "Adapt

and overcome."

Well, I guess
he forgot his mantra.

He didn't forget.

He had to have had
a good reason.

That means we're
missing something.

Yeah, like a cell phone.

Someone call
The Guinness Book of Records.

I think we have
the most senior

field agents
at a crime scene.

Yeah, I heard
the NCIS Great Lakes office is

on their way, too.

I'm kidding.

You, uh, said something
about a cell phone?

Yes. We were talking
to the next door neighbor Libby.

And she said she
heard the gunshot

at 7:40 a.m.

Said she knocked,
but no answer.

Building manager unlocked
the door ten minutes later

and they found the body.
Libby know the professor?

Yeah. She was with him
moments before the gunshot.

Said he was alone and cheerful

when he got a call
on his cell phone.

Except I didn't see
a cell phone here.

Anyone else?

Then where the hell is it?

I might have an answer.
According to the access log,

this computer was last used
at 7:45 a.m.

That's five minutes
after the gunshot.

Five minutes before
the body was found.

Yeah, means someone else
was in this apartment.

Are you sure it was a suicide?

Because, rule number three:
always double-check.

I did double-check,
and you don't have

to quote Gibbs' rules to me.

He and I go way back.

Look, if there was somebody
else in that apartment,

maybe they pulled
the trigger.

Well, the evidence says suicide.

Well, that is until
Jimmy says otherwise.

You want to bet?

No rules against that.

Actually, there is.

Number 15.
15? We're not dating.

No, 15 is about lawyers. Oh.

Okay, never mind. Look,
the point is that even if

the professor
took his own life...
Which he did.

...he could have been coerced.

I'm guessing that has to do
with his last call.

Phone records show a
blocked number at 7:38 a.m.

And two minutes later
the professor shot himself. Exactly.

We need to find out
what was said on that call.

And who said it.
Well, that might be a problem.

The blocked number was bounced
through a signal relay

and the professor's missing cell
has been turned off.

No back trace, no GPS.

It's okay. We will
adapt and overcome,

just like
the professor used to say.

I think we owe that to him.

I think that is something
that we can all agree on.

Yeah, the man tried
to kick me out of FLETC, but...

...he does deserve justice.

Oh, hey, Tim.
Hey, Jimmy.

You alone?

Yeah. Why, what's wrong?

Ah, nothing, aside
from the fact that you're alone.

There are so many fresh faces
in the building,

I was kind of hoping that one
of 'em might want to stop by.

Or you could talk to my face
since it's already here.

And it is a lovely face, Tim,
but it can't invite me

to Hawai'i or Los Angeles.

I've never been
to either NCIS office.

Yeah, me, neither.
Least not since OSP moved

into that old
Mexican restaurant.

I thought
it was a Spanish mission.

I don't know.

What's with the towel?

Oh, right.
This is a courtesy

to those of you
who knew Dale Harding.

When fired into a skull,
a small-caliber bullet

has a tendency
to ricochet around,

shattering the facial bones.
It's not a good look.

You confirmed it was a suicide?

Agent Callen was right.
This man took his own life.

Question is why.

That's not the only question.

I mean, aside from
the obvious gunshot to the head,

take a look
at the rest of his body.

Some old
bullet wounds.

Yeah, and burns and cuts.

Based on the tissue buildup,
I'd say that these are all

decades old.

Before he taught at FLETC?

He always talked
about his time in the Marines.

As a gunnery sergeant, yes.
Yeah, maybe he saw action.

That's what I thought
at first, as well.

But according to
his service records

and his medical records,
Dale Harding was never wounded.

So where'd the scars come from?

Whatever happened
in this man's past,

he kept it secret.

I don't know about
these cupcakes, Kasie.

Doesn't feel right.

Someone has to eat them.

Otherwise, they go to waste.

Maybe if we just
take the toppers off?

No. That wouldn't feel right,

like we were giving up
on the professor.

No, he was a noble man

and would not have done
something so drastic

unless someone made him do it.

You have proof of that, right?
No.

Whoever entered the apartment

and used the professor's
computer knew how

to cover their tracks.

Hmm. Well... they knew
what they were doing.

Wait a minute.

This computer wasn't just
used after he shot himself.

It was also used before.

How long before?

Less than a minute.

It looks like
the professor typed something

in a text program.

Maybe it was a suicide note.

Uh, if it was,
it was a short one.

The professor's last words were
"extra homework"?

That is every student's
worst nightmare.

It must mean something, right?

He had to have known
we were gonna find it.

I think there's something
on here the professor

didn't want
us to find.

These are
government files.

How can you tell?

Each agency
has their own

unique file-naming system.

See how these all have
the same DOD suffix?

Department of Defense.

But what's the big deal?
I mean,

the professor was
a government employee.

They all also have
the same prefix:

T.S.S.C.I.

Top secret sensitive
compartmented information.

A civilian FLETC instructor

shouldn't have these files
on his personal computer.

He shouldn't have them at all.

So how'd he get them?

I have no idea because

the last thing the professor did
before he killed himself

was delete these files
to hide the evidence.

Well, not exactly the actions...

of a noble man.

Yes.
We are looking into it,

I assure you.

Yes, I will. Thank you.

Well, that was the head
of cybersecurity at DoD.

Not only did Dale Harding not
have clearance for those files,

the Pentagon didn't even know

that the intel was missing
from their servers.

So it was stolen?

What was in the files?

DoD claims that's need-to-know.

I agree.
We need to know.

Well, right now,
they seem more concerned

with why a humble
FLETC instructor

hacked their system.
Good question.

Yeah, for them and for us.

We don't know
what the professor was planning

to do with that intel.

Well, clearly nothing good.
He committed treason.

Then shot himself, so maybe
he had a change of heart.

Look, I don't want to believe

that the man was a criminal
any more than you,

but the evidence
is the evidence.

And so we follow the evidence
till we find the truth.

Something I expect to
happen sooner than later,

considering how
many resources

NCIS currently has
dedicated to this case.

Multiple senior field agents
from multiple field offices.

All being put
to good use, Director.

I would certainly hope so.

If the professor
stole valuable intel,

I doubt he did it
just for kicks.

Or maybe he had a buyer.
I don't know.

I've got agents looking

into every corner
of Dale Harding's life,

starting with where
he was currently stationed.

FLETC's Maryland campus.

You sent NCIS's
best and brightest

back to school?

Never too late
to learn new things.

This is a Blue Line
Metro train. Next stop,

Foggy Bottom-GWU Kennedy Center.

Stand clear of the door, please.

Get the doors open!

Okay.

Who can tell me how to stop
a public panic such as this?

You can't.

That's, uh... that's correct.

Which begs the question, in
the event of a public threat,

what is our best
course of action

as trained federal agents?

Identify the source
of the threat.

And neutralize the threat.

Uh, exactly.

Wh-Which is why we
determine if the gas is

a chemical attack or...

Chemical attack, or...

...some little skater kid's
harmless smoke bomb, huh?

Class is concluded for
today. Thanks, folks.

Um, actually, we have three more
hours of simulator training.

Yeah, that's not
gonna happen.

NCIS.

And this is not a drill.

We need access
to Dale Harding's office.

Notice how each agent focuses on
a separate quadrant of the room.

Protects evidence
and maximizes resources.

It's textbook police work.

Show's over, folks.

Yeah.

So attentive. Maybe we should
let 'em watch, huh?

We are worth studying.

Yeah, some of us
more than others.

What is this?

Oh, wow. Check it out.

The professor kept a scrapbook
of his former students. Hmm.

Uh, promotions, news clippings.

Yeah? Am I in there?

No.

But I am.

Thought you and the
professor didn't get along.

Oh, yeah.
No, he hated me.

No, the professor
didn't hate anybody,

especially not his students.

Then why did he pull me aside
during the last week of training

and tell me to quit?

Those were his
exact words?

No. His exact words were,

"You are a lone wolf,
not a team player."

Was he wrong?

My dad used to say
after practice,

"If the coach is yelling,
it's a good thing."

Yeah, it means he cares.

It's when
the coach stops riding you.

Then you should be worried.

Look at this.

Haven't seen one of these
in a minute.

Wow.
The guy who hacks the Pentagon

still keeps floppy disks?

Complicated man.

More complicated than we knew.

Either of you ever know
the professor to miss a class?

Unfortunately, no.

No, me, neither.
But according to this schedule,

a substitute teacher
was scheduled

to teach his
final class.

Who gets a sub
on their last day?

Better question: why?

That evasive maneuvering was

inspired, Agent Tennant.

And, Agent Knight,
that pit technique--

it's a beautiful thing.

Never saw it coming.

All right.

Burn that demonstration
into your retinas,

my little ducklings.

The road is a battlefield.
You want to survive?

Then you have
to play offense and defense.

Write it down.

Thanks for the practice,
Instructor Ford.

Oh, please, call me Greta.

And my two favorite students
can audit my class anytime.

Except we're not
really here to drive.

You're here about Dale Harding.

All right, everybody back to
the garage for video analysis.

Double time.

Don't make me say it twice!
Oh, yes, sir. Yes, ma'am.

I was so sad to hear
what happened to the professor.

Ask me, it doesn't
make any sense.

Neither does the fact that
you subbed his class yesterday.

His last class.

I was just as shocked as anyone.

Dale and I are like
oil and water

when it comes
to teaching styles.

But he begged me to cover
for him at the last second.

What could I do?
Did he give a reason?

Sure.
Can't say as I blamed him.

Said he wanted

to move up his post-retirement
vacation a few days.

His trip to Cabo.

Cabo?

No, he was going to Hawai'i.

Hawai'i?

You sure about that?

My hearing ain't that bad.

Dale said he was
meeting an old friend.

I have everything
from Dale's FLETC office.

I understand.

Yes. Thank you.

I'm sorry. Who are you?

Agent Sam Hanna.

Los Angeles?

OSP?

Oh, right.
The agents that didn't RSVP

for the retirement party
but showed up anyway.

That's us. I'm sorry about that.
I was...

Office, evidence.
Yes, I got it.

What I don't get is why

the professor changed
his vacation plans two days ago,

'cause that was the airline
I was talking to.

He switched from Cabo
to Hawai'i.

Not only that.

He changed his ticket
to leave this morning.

His retirement party was
supposed to be today, right?

Yes, I know.

What I didn't know is

the guest of honor was
planning on missing it.

That is pretty cold.

It's also pretty strange.
It's not like him.

Not to mention, there was
nothing on his computer

or in his apartment about
any old friend in Hawai'i.

Well, he could have made it up.

Just an excuse to skip town
with the stolen files.

And do what with them?

Sell them,
pad his retirement account.

Until someone
caught him here first.

You really think
the professor was a crook?

You don't?
We don't know

that he's the one
that stole those files.

You're a positive thinker.
I respect that.

Looks like
my positive thinking paid off.

This is a security alert
from DoD.

They no longer think
Dale Harding was the hacker.

That's good news. Hmm.

No, it's not.
Because they have a new suspect.

Weird.

Having trouble, McGee?

Yeah. No, my scan isn't working.

I have no idea why.

We do.

You're under arrest for treason.

Is this some kind of joke?

I can't believe this. You guys
are accusing me of treason?

In my own house?
It is nothing personal.

Really? Then why aren't we doing
this in the conference room?

We didn't know where that was.

You didn't know
where this room was.

I had to show you.

And we appreciate
your cooperation.

But we still need an explanation
for a few things.

Got to say, Director,
this feels wrong.

Why is there an outside team
in our interrogation room?

Because it's better
than the alternative.
Which is?

Letting DoD question McGee
in their interrogation room.

They traced the server hack
back to his credentials.

And they're out for blood.

And you agreed
to give it to 'em?

No. I agreed to have Agent McGee
questioned by a neutral party.

Neutral?
It's two against one in there.

And the one on the right is,
like, 300 pounds of muscle.

McGEE:
This would appear my login data

was used to create a back door

and launch a blind SQL injection
that allowed

top secret files

to be removed undetected.

That's smart.

It's exactly what I would do.

Maybe you did do it.

You don't really believe that.

No.

We don't.

But DoD does.

Help us help you.

Who else has access
to your login info?

Nobody.
It was obviously stolen.

You expect us
to believe

the computer guy
lost his password?

Says the car guy
who once lost his favorite car.

Charlene, right?

He knows the name of my car.

It's impressive.

Yeah, and Agent Callen,
didn't you get

your entire identity
stolen last year?

So let's not get too judgy
about lost login info.

Point taken.

Thank you.

But we still need an explanation

for how someone
got access to your info.

No, I know, especially
since I use two-factor

security on my laptop

and a six-digit alphanumeric
unlock code on my...

...on my phone.

Everything okay?

No.

I had lunch with the
professor a few days ago.

Got up to use the restroom.
I left my phone on the table.

Did he have your six-digit code?

No, he didn't need to.
I unlocked it

when he asked
to see photos of my kids.

He wasn't looking
at your photos.

No, he was looking
at my login data.

This just keeps getting worse.

Not only did
the professor commit treason,

he exploited a former student
to do it.

Afraid I got more bad news.

Are you gonna tell me

the professor was actually
a Cylon this whole time?

No, but I still
haven't found any sign

of a missing cell phone
or the person who took it.

There's nothing
in this apartment.

Frak!

Yeah, so say we all.

Oh, a fellow Battlestar fan?

Well, I knew I liked you better
than Agent Hanna.

He's not a fan of sci-fi?

He's not a fan of subtlety.

I show him one email from DoD

and he storms out of here
and arrests McGee,

no questions asked.

I'm pretty sure
a lot of questions were asked.

It was an interrogation.

Of a fellow agent?

Look, Agent Hanna
was doing his job.

Well, he can do it
someplace else,

because Sam Hanna is not allowed

to step foot
in this lab ever again.

That's gonna be a problem.

Let me call you back.

Copy.

Agent Hanna.

Are you here to apologize
for arresting McGee?

No. Because I didn't.

But if it helps,
I never actually thought

McGee was a criminal.

It helps. A little.

Mainly 'cause I am dying

to show someone what I found
on the professor's floppy disks.

Other than a copy
of the original Doom?

Oh, actually, I prefer
O.G. Oregon Trail.

But you are right.
All of the files on these disks

are decades old, except

one text file

that was created last week.

Extra homework.

The same words the professor
typed before he died.

Which means he wanted us
to find this disk.

Yes. It is like
The Da Vinci Code.

A clue trail he knew we'd follow
in the event of his death.

So what does it mean?

Well, that's the problem.

I have no idea.

Because there's nothing else
on this disk.

How about in it?

What do you mean?

Well, back in the days,
in homeroom, I had a girl--

she tried hitting on me
using a floppy disk.

Heather Richardson.

How did that work?
Eh, it didn't.

She wasn't my type.
No. I mean,

how did she use floppy disks
to hit on you?

Oh, she, uh, pulled them apart
and hid love notes inside.

Huh.

Oh...

Heather Richardson is a genius.

That's exactly why
she wasn't my type.

Okay.

"The answer is in the files."

Ah. That doesn't make sense.

The professor deleted
all the stolen files.

Right. Unless he made a copy.

A copy he hid someplace safe.

Is it just me, or does that
fireplace look very familiar?

It's just you.

The famous Gibbs cabin.

I can't believe you guys
have his fireplaces memorized.

Hard not to.
It's kind of his thing.

Looks like, uh,

nobody's been here in a while.

Mm. Well, the professor
knew that Gibbs was gone.

A deserted cabin is a perfect
place to hide stolen data.

Yeah, data that the professor
wanted us to find.

Well, so maybe
he did have good intentions.

Who else knew about this place?

Short list.

You good?

I thought I, uh...

Think Gibbs came back from
Alaska and doesn't know it's us?

If it was Gibbs shooting at us,
we'd be dead right now.

You think we hit him?

I don't know about you,
but I did.

Yeah, we got blood.

Think you hit him.

Think we both did.

I count at least three hits,
with one to the chest.

He should be dead.

Why isn't he?

Because of this.

His phone saved his life.

Well, not for long.

He's wounded
and he's on foot.

Well, he's not on foot anymore.

I'm gonna need roadblocks
in every direction

in and out of Brossard County.

Suspect is wounded, armed
and likely on a motorcycle.

Appreciate that, Sheriff. Thanks.

Knight and Tennant
are leading the search?

Yeah. Agent, uh, Boone
is on his way

to coordinate
with county police now,

but so far, nothing.

And the professor's
hidden files?

Well, Torres searched the cabin.

Looks like our mystery shooter
beat us to 'em.

So, where you, uh,
where you headed?

Malibu.
Kasie got a hit on bank records.

Turns out the, uh,
professor was receiving

anonymous wire transfers

from a Western Union
along the PCH.

Payment for the stolen files?

Well, that's what Sam and I
are gonna try and find out.

I'll keep you updated.
Same here.

Yup.
Right.

Did... did Agent Callen tell you
about the wire transfers?

Yeah.
You ran up here for nothing.

I didn't run for that.
I ran for this.

Our mystery shooter's
cell phone.

He's the one that left it
behind, but it's not his.

I was able to access
the SSD memory.

Well, who does it belong to?

The professor.

It's the phone that was stolen
from the crime scene.

Our mystery shooter was the one
who was at the apartment.

And we might have a name.
Turns out

the professor used
an app to record

all his calls,
including his last one.

I'm trying to
repair the damaged

audio file, but it sounds like

the caller identifies himself.

Hello, Professor.

This is Simon Williams.

Wait a second.
Did he say Simon Williams?

I think so. I haven't run
the name through the system yet.

There's no need to.

He's on our wall.

Hello, Professor.

This is Simon Williams.
You remember.

How did you get this number?

You stole those files

to keep them from me.

But I have ways
of getting them from you.

Don't try to find me.

Too late.

We know what happens next.

Simon showed up
to make good on his threat.

And rather than risk
being taken alive,

the professor deleted
those files,

took his own life.

So what was in those files
that was worth dying for?

DoD still won't say.

Sounds to me like
they're keeping secrets.

Yeah, secrets the
professor was trying

to protect from Simon Williams.

Didn't work.

There's a reason
he's on our Most Wanted wall.

Simon Williams
is on everyone's wall.

He's a rogue operative
wanted for everything

from espionage
to murder for hire.

Committing crimes all over
the world going back 30 years.

I guess career criminals
don't have a retirement age.

Why retire? No one's ever
come close to catching the guy.

Until now. We wounded him
outside of Gibbs' cabin.

Tennant, Knight and Boone

are currently
heading the manhunt

with the Brossard
County sheriff. Good.

But none of this explains

the professor's involvement
in the first place.

What's the connection
between a wanted hit man

and a FLETC instructor?

They knew each other.

30 years ago, Simon Williams
was a FLETC trainee.

He was a federal agent?
Never made it that far.

The professor cut him
from the program.

Did the professor give a reason?

He said that Simon
showed a lone wolf

mentality and was not
a team player.

I guess the professor was right.

These two had history.

Yeah, and if we
want to know more,

we need to find those files.

Which means, uh,
we need to find our hit man.

Go.

Come on, fellas.

We need to know where
you already have roadblocks

and where we still need them.

We are all
on the same team here.

Hope things are going
better for you.

That bad, huh?

After the initial
blood trail went cold,

there's been no sign
of Simon Williams.

It's like he disappeared.

Any leads from county police?
No.

They're claiming jurisdiction
and keeping us in the dark.

Apparently, they do things
a certain way.

Sound familiar?

Yeah, for a couple reasons.

Had a feeling the county
wasn't gonna play nice, so, um,

I'm here with Kasie.
We're monitoring all their radio

transmissions.
Hi, Jess.

Get anything useful yet?

Ah, it's mostly idle chatter
and some crosstalk.

A few dirty cop jokes,
but nothing original.

Yeah, we'll let you know
if we hear

about a wounded hit man
on a motorcycle.

Wait. Hold up.

What? You got something, Kase?

Uh, yeah,
but it's not a motorcycle.

County sheriff
just did a roll call

and one squad car
failed to check in.

Which one?

Unit 117.

Hey, I need a location
on Unit 117.

Guys, 117.

Anybody have eyes on Unit 117?

117.

Uh, that's a negative.

You hear that? Sounds like
we have a missing squad car.

McGEE:
Yeah, Kase is already
doing her thing.

Pulling up the GPS locator
on Unit 117.

I have a bad feeling whoever was

in that squad car
is already dead.

Yeah, and now Simon Williams is

on four wheels instead of two.

I think you're both right.

The squad car is already
40 miles away

on a stretch of farmland
outside of Madison.

And it's not moving.

So, Simon had time

to dump the car and escape.

Are we too late?

One way to find out.

Got eyes
on our missing squad car.

Yeah, no sign of movement.

Move in. Carefully.

Roger that.

Found fresh blood here.

And a fresh body.

Simon was here.

Looks like
he tried to stop the bleeding.

And it looks like
it didn't work.

Federal agents.
Don't move.

It's over, Simon.

McGee, this is not
the guy on our wall.

Who are you?

I'm... Simon...

Williams.

Yeah? Then who the hell is this?

That's...

Simon Williams.

We're all Simon Williams.

No, no, no, no, no.

He's gone.

My best guess--
this man is at least

30 years too young
to be the real Simon Williams.

So who is he?

I have no idea.
Facial recognition

came back negative, as did DNA.

And fingerprints?
He doesn't have any.

They've been burned off
using acid.

So, this may not be
Simon Williams,

but he sure did act
like a wanted hitman.

Maybe a copycat?
Or an employee.

One of many, it seems.

"We're all Simon Williams."

This isn't over.

You know,
it's been a really long day.

It's getting late. Maybe
we should all take a break,

you know?
Start fresh in the morning.

No, we're good.

And Jesse and I have to catch
a late flight out tonight.

Okay, well, then,
when was the last time

either of you
had something to eat?

Hmm.
He does make a good point there.

All right. I could go for
something before the flight.

Do you know where I can get
blueberry pancakes?

As a matter of fact, I do.

Let's just finish up our work
here, we'll meet up later.

I'll text Torres.
We can make it a double date.

Or you know what?
We can actually

just make it a professional meal
amongst colleagues.

Right. I'm not asking
for the world.

I just want to look at the FBI's
file on Simon Williams.

Because he's a bad guy

and we're all
on the same team, right?

Sweeney.
He still hates me.

What? Didn't you save his ass
a few months ago?

I think that
made it worse.

Yeah, yeah, I'm still here.

That-that's all we need.

Well, hey, no, I got no problem
with calling us even.

Okay, good.

Yeah, give Doreen my best.

Hmm. That sounds like good news.

He agreed to send the file.

Redacted, but, uh,
I'll take what I can get.

What about you?
You got something?

Yeah, I mean, not-so-good news.

Kasie processed,
uh, the contents

of our dead guy's,
uh, burn bucket.

And, uh, well,
he destroyed everything

that would help us
identify him.

His wallet, uh, SIM card,

a USB thumb drive.

The files that were stashed
at Gibbs' cabin.

Yeah, she tried to recover
the data, but it's gone.

Yeah, along with
the real Simon Williams.

Yup. Dead end.

Did you come all the way
over here just to tell me that?

What's on your mind, Nick?

The professor, man.

He told me to quit FLETC,
just like he did Simon Williams.

He give a reason?

The same one he gave Simon.

The professor saw the same thing
in both of us.

Nick, you and Simon Williams
are nothing alike.

I'm not so sure.

He went to work
for himself.

You would never do that, right?

Right.

Sweeney sent the file.

Well, that was fast.

Yeah.

The FBI is
already tracking

one of Simon Williams'
known associates.

In D.C.?

No.

Hawai'i.

That's where
the professor was headed.

Hey, sorry I'm late.

Is Jimmy and Tennant
inside already?

No, which is odd.

What do you mean?
Well, I saw them both

leave NCIS before I did,

so they should be here by now,

but neither one
is answering my text.

What the hell?

Isn't that Jimmy's dad-mobile?

Uh... should I call him again?

Yeah, for sure.

It's Jimmy's
ringtone for me.

Right here.

I'm calling Tennant.

Hey, Knight.

She ain't gonna answer.

Nick?

I know.

Take it easy, Agent Tennant...

...or somebody might get hurt.
