All language subtitles for NCIS - S13E12 - Sister City - Part 1 (2016).en

PILOT:
Seven-zero for 140 miles.

PILOT 2:
Copy, Pax River, Gator One-One.

Initial vector one-seven-zero.

WOMAN: Where are we?
- FAA handed over radio control

on
November-zero-five-Juliet-Papa-Zulu.

Privately operated jet took off
from New Orleans

approximately 90 minutes ago
bound for Washington-Reagan.

ATC has reported no radio contact
for the last 37 minutes.

- Comms failure?
- Radio works, captain.

Either they don't want to talk or can't.
Keep trying.

- My eyes in the sky.
- Two Hornets on the horizon.

Should have visual in less than five.

Private jet is outside
restricted airspace, but not for long.

- Over metro D.C. in less than 30.
- Damn. Hell of a day to quit smoking.

- Didn't know you smoked.
- I don't. I imagine it's true.

Zero-five-J-P-Z, this is Naval Air
Station Pax River, come in. Over.

Pax River, this is Gator One-One.
I have a visual on our bogey.

Six-three-point-five.

Zero-three-two-point-three.

Put me through to NORAD.

It's gonna be all hands on deck
for this one.

November-zero-five-Juliet-Papa-Zulu,
this is Naval Air Station Pax River.

Naval aircraft on approach,
north-northeast. Over.

Zero-five-J-P-Z,
this is Naval Air Station Pax River.

Please respond. Over.

- So, what happened?
- I don't know.

- Come on.
- All Bishop said was MTAC in five.

I'm not talking about MTAC.

I'm talking about what happened over
New Year's. You and Zoe broke up?

- You heard.
- Why didn't you tell me?

Break-up bug's around.
Didn't want you to catch it.

Careful. You know what happens
when Bishop hears you joking like that.

I jest to comfort.

So the break-up, you and Zoe,
it was messy?

No. We agreed it wasn't working out,
so we ended on a good note.

- Amicable, very adult.
- No, no, no.

See, you and Zoe Keates
do not do adult.

You both have tact issues.
You, verbally, her, physically.

Is this because she tackled you
the first time you met?

Hey, she thought
I was a hermit bomb-maker.

I'll miss that about her.

There you go.
More jokes, must be pretty bad.

So you wanna talk about it?

Who's paying you for the details,
McGossip?

Abby and I do have a bet
on who throws the first punch.

Hey, there were no punches thrown!

But it was physical, right?

We're about to go live.

What are you guys talking about?

- Star Wars.
- Star Wars.

Hmm.

PILOT:
Get the turbo in sight.

WOMAN [OVER COMM]:
Negative, Agent Gibbs.

After multiple passes,
there are no signs of life on that plane.

A rapid depressurization is likely.

It causes a lack of oxygen to the brain
and death by hypoxia.

- How many?
- Four bodies we can count,

including the pilot and copilot.

BISHOP:
Jet's registered to Blye Industries,

- military tech developer.
- Among other things.

Blye Industries was started
by Jenner Blye,

he's a pioneer in tech design.

Exosuits, robotic prosthetics...

Ha. They make jet packs.

Yes, and jet packs. Thank you.

What's your point, McGee?

- You cut your hair?
- I didn't need it anymore.

I believe Agent McGee's point
was that this is a PR nightmare.

- Captain Bloom.
- Director.

Does NCIS know
who's on that plane?

Naval Intelligence Officer Commander
Gil Lively informed his CO

of the flight at 0600 this morning,
but that's all we know.

Flight manifest would've been filed
at the airfield of departure.

Special Agent Pride and his team
are following up in New Orleans.

He'll be joining the conversation.

We've got even bigger problems
at cruising altitude.

The flight plan shows
that bird took off with a full tank.

Given headwinds
and weather conditions,

it won't go down
for another 400 to 600 miles.

- Does that get it to the ocean?
- No. Puts us over three metro areas

- in the meantime.
- Philadelphia, New York and Boston.

It's currently
over unpopulated Virginia countryside.

I've spoken to NORAD.

We are prepared
to take down the target.

Air strike on a civilian plane.

No better than it sounds,
and even harder to control.

Yeah. Media and falling debris alike.

Aircraft is only over wilderness
for another ten minutes.

Now, unless you have a safer way
to bring it down,

- I've got my orders.
- We'll find a way.

ABBY:
I pulled the flight manuals,

acquired the jet's radio frequency,

and I tapped
into the onboard navigation computer.

McGEE: And?
- And remotely crashing

an airplane is difficult.

It's impossible, actually.

- For good reason.
- Not to mention my misgivings.

- About what? Crashing a plane?
- Crashing anything.

- Fast. Six minutes left.
- Okay. It's not New Year's,

so cool it with the countdown,
please.

Have you tried accessing
the mechanical functions?

Tricking the computer
into dumping fuel?

- I can't access it wirelessly.
- Navigation?

I can't override the autopilot.
It's a closed system.

- Right. Plane only does what it's told.
- Okay, then.

Crash, plane! Crash!

Well, unfortunately, you're not
the pilot, autopilot or GPS system.

- But I could be.
- You just said it was a closed system.

All aircraft get their directional data
via GPS satellite.

Right. Location, speed, altitude.

GPS tells the plane where it is.

- If we can't hack the plane...
- We hack the satellite.

We send false data to the aircraft,
we make it think it's way off course.

And the autopilot
should correct accordingly.

- Right.
- No. I just... I don't wanna know that.

Flight took off from Lakefront Airport.
LaSalle and Brody are there now.

- Flight manifest, Pride.
- Coming through.

Agent Gibbs, Director Vance,
we're out of time.

- You gave us ten minutes, captain.
- We still got 40 seconds.

My pilots are in position
and my orders have not changed.

- Captain?
- Altitude alert.

The plane thinks it's too high,
and it's started a steep descent.

It appears to be crashing itself.

- Where?
- Given its current angle,

a remote corner of the C. J. Brown
State Forest and Reservoir.

- Nice job, gentlemen.
- It was a team effort.

[CELL PHONE RINGS]

Hey. Where'd you go?

Need to talk privately.

Alert all the wildlife.

Ground avoidance systems.

Dwayne, what's going on?

Flight manifest just came through.

PILOT: Pax River, Gator One-Two,
we have visual confirmation

- of impact.
GIBBS: Hang on.

Pax River, Gator One-Two,
the aircraft has crash landed.

Repeat, aircraft is on the ground.

PRIDE [OVER PHONE]:
Gibbs, we... We got a problem.

Fifth name on the list...

Luca Sciuto.

Abby's brother was on that plane.

Luca?

I know you're not dead, okay?
So call me back.

- Abby...
- Gibbs, this doesn't make any sense.

Luca is a chef,
and he's a really successful one.

- Recently hired by Jenner Blye.
- Yeah.

The tech billionaire, I know.
It's, like, Luca's dream job.

But, you know, it's not like
he's cooking on, like, private jets.

Luca never leaves NOLA.

He doesn't like to fly.

Are you sure about this?

Luca...

he's my brother,
not the brother I just found out I have,

but the brother that I grew up with.

I talk to him every day.

If he was coming to D.C.,
he would've told me.

Unless he was gonna try
to surprise me.

Stop putting thoughts in my head.

Luca and I,
we don't get to see each other

in person that much, you know,

because we're both super dedicated
to our jobs.

But if Luca were dead,

I would feel a disturbance
in The Force.

- That's very strong in my family.
- Yeah, I know that.

Do you?

LaSalle, Brody, Percy, Pride,
they're all following-up at NOLA.

Okay. Good.

That's good
because they're gonna find him there.

Abby, you should come
to the crash site.

No.

Because...

Luca is not there.

[SIRENS BLARING]

NTSB said autopilot kept
the plane level on impact.

If anybody aboard had been alive, they
actually could have survived the crash.

Ironic.

- Tragic.
TONY: Manifest?

Five souls aboard, pilot, copilot,

Blye Industries senior VP,
Commander Lively and Luca Sciuto.

- You guys ever met him?
McGee: No.

- Gibbs has, though.
- This will be our first time.

- NTSB is still securing the wreckage.
TONY: No sense going in yet, then.

- We have to wait for Gibbs, anyway.
GIBBS: No, you don't.

No more excuses. Let's go.

Okay.

McGee:
Oxygen masks didn't deploy.

That's odd.

Must be
our Blye Industries senior VP.

Hypoxia usually shows
wrinkled discoloration in the fingers,

but no signs of it here.

Yeah. Or here.

Commander.

No outward signs of hypoxia.

Doesn't mean it didn't happen,
but, you know, Ducky's mantra.

"We won't know more until autopsy."

The commander's body makes four,
so maybe the manifest was wrong.

Five. Come here, McGee.

McGee:
Tail caught fire from the crash.

Body's too damaged to ID.

"Chef Luca."

Well, we've prepped all five bodies
for autopsy.

Abby is officially stalling.

Yes, well, I promised
I wouldn't start any autopsy

until she's had a chance
to ID her brother.

I know you prefer to wait
until the autopsy

to actually talk
about the bodies, doctor.

But can we talk
about the bodies, doctor?

Nope.

I couldn't help but notice
the absence of cyanosis

on any of the fingers
or any of the toes of any of the bodies.

- Mr. Palmer...
- At least some sign of hypoxia.

I mean, it's weird.

- We won't know what it is until...
- Until we do the autopsy, right, right.

- But if I didn't know any better...
- Heh. Well, clearly, you don't.

I would say that these people
did not die from depressurization.

Yeah. Well, there's nothing
to be gained by guessing.

Can we at least agree
that there appears to be a hint

of a suggestion of foul play?

[ELEVATOR DOOR CHIMES]

Hey, guys.

Sorry I'm late.

I was sketching
my brother's dental records

for proper ID.

You know your brother's teeth
from memory?

We're super close.

And I also wrote down
his measurements and...

a description of his birthmarks.

- Really?
- So I'm ready.

That's enough.

I understand, Abby, that this is hard,
but we need you to take a good look.

No.

I don't have to.

That's not him.

- The face is badly burned.
ABBY: I know,

but that body has attached earlobes

and Luca, he's free, like me.

Is she right, doctor?

- Yes.
ABBY: I knew it.

The Sciuto Force, it was right again.

But if Luca's not in this drawer,
then...

Where is he?

LASALLE: I would think
Luca was cooking meth

if he didn't have every book
ever written on molecular gastronomy.

PERCY: We found every photo
he's ever taken with his sister.

Why are they all on Halloween?

TONY [OVER PHONE]:
That's how she dresses.

Did you find anything on Luca?

LASALLE:
Closets are full, nothing's packed.

Either he's still in town
or skipped it fast.

And he's still not answering his cell.

But, you know, Tony DiNozzo.
Why does your name ring a bell?

Kind of a legend in the NCIS world.

Oh, I don't know anything about that.
I transferred from ATF.

ATF? Have you ever worked
with Zoe Keates?

Yeah. Training exercises in Georgia.

- You two are dating.
- Ah. Well, that's over now.

Oh.

Well, I hope for your sake she ended it
because that girl was mean

- on the jujitsu mat.
- I'll miss that.

Found the mother lode.

What did you get?

Bag hidden behind a false wall
in the closet.

Hello, flying blind. Narration, please.

About 10 grand in cash, Tony.

And two 9 millimeters, fully loaded.

A little hi-tech listening device.

What's a chef doing with a bug?

Seems like we got a fly
in the soup, Tony.

McGEE:
Gotcha. Okay, thank you.

Boss, ONI says Commander Lively

was flying to D.C. to meet
with the Secretary of Defense.

- About what?
- They couldn't or wouldn't say,

but Blye Industries has no current
business with the U.S. military.

- SecDef's office?
- They sent over his schedule.

Redacted everything
except for the meeting with Lively.

GIBBS:
It wasn't set until late last night.

Short notice,
but it must have been pretty important.

Yeah. Well, someone thought so.

Killing everyone on that plane
would ensure

that meeting would never happen.

Find out what the commander knew.

- Hey, Abs, Go-Bag?
- Yeah.

Didn't you get my e-mail?
Luca's in trouble.

He texted me.

- What? When?
- He must've removed the battery

because I can't trace it.
I think he's on the run.

- "Conniption."
- It's code for where to find him.

Redbird Bolt, North Carolina.

What's in Redbird Bolt?

The Colossal Fun Amusement Park.

And hopefully, Luca in one piece.

Gibbs, please,
can I go rescue my brother?

Yeah. Yeah, let's go.

DiNozzo drives, Abs.

[CHILDREN SCREAMING
AND LAUGHING]

We drove overnight
because your brother is hiding here?

Yeah. Thank goodness they're open
for the New Year's Eve Festival.

Luca's text said, "Conniption."

It's in reference to the roller coaster
from vacation.

- The movie?
- No. The Sciuto family vacation.

- He knew I'd get the reference.
- Ah. Fond memories?

Unspeakable horrors
of screaming and vomit.

And that was the car ride.
We swore we'd never mention it again.

- So if he's here, it's bad.
- Big park. Where do we start?

- At the Conniption.
- We don't have to ride that thing?

Yeah, it gives us the best view
of the park.

Now I know
why McGee didn't come.

[BEEPING]

Well, screw you...

Are you kidding? Come on!

[BEEPING AND WHIRRING]

Okay. I am sorry. I didn't mean it.

Boss, these... This thing is sentient.
It is only loyal to its master.

- Or the plug was loose.
- Um...

The NOLA team processed
the items found in Luca's apartment.

- No prints.
GIBBS: Bug?

They actually found a second one
in Luca's knife case.

Both are customizable
and untraceable.

- Cause of death?
- Surprise, surprise,

blood work came back
showing signs of poison.

- What kind?
- We don't know yet.

Well, how were they poisoned?

We don't know that, either.

Mass spectrometer
is being particularly stubborn with me,

but I will know more later.

[MACHINE WHIRRING]

I hope.

- Poison. What kind? From where?
- Yeah. We're lucky we got that much.

Agent McGee is playing the part
of Miss Sciuto?

Yeah, and it's a hard role to fill.
SecDef?

Has no idea why Commander Lively
was coming to see him.

Only that it concerned
a matter of national security.

What was he doing
on Jenner Blye's plane?

SecDef called Blye Industries
to ask that same question.

- Got corporate offices in Anacostia.
- Yeah. And?

Mr. Blye has been ducking
SecDef's calls.

- That's a bad idea.
- Yeah. Even for a big shot.

I'm thinking it's time we bring
Tony Stark in for questioning.

Iron Man.
Smug, tech-mogul-slash-superhero.

My son collects them.

I guess now so do I.

Mm-hmm.

There you go, baby.

Going crazy. We've been looking
for Luca for hours, and nothing.

You're sure he sent the text?

Who else would be hiding here
and having me go

through rollercoaster nightmares
in order to find them?

You're right.
It's silly, but very Sciuto.

- I knew it.
- What?

We're being followed.
Scary guy with an earpiece.

- Are you armed?
- Yes. And don't worry, we're safe.

- How do you know?
- Because that's a park security guard.

I called ahead, told them we'll be here,
and to keep an eye out for Luca.

Well, I didn't know that,
and Luca doesn't know that,

- that's why he's hiding.
- Hiding where?

- Someplace scarier than Conniption.
- Oh, wait.

Is that a headless hippo?

It's a clue from Luca.

Is there still a haunted house here?

You'd think an award
for global design would be cooler.

Agents Gibbs and Bishop,
sorry for the wait.

As you can imagine,
we're all still in shock here.

Dalton Greenbrick,
chief financial officer, Blye Industries.

This is our head of security,
Blake Huxley.

Do you think this was an attempt
on Mr. Blye's life?

Of course not.
And please, lower your voice.

Okay. Let's talk inside.

I'm afraid Mr. Blye
is on an overseas call.

He asked us to come out
and answer your questions.

- We asked to talk to Blye.
GREENBRICK: Of course.

But I'm afraid
he wouldn't be any help.

Look, you should know.
Mr. Blye's gone missing.

Blake.

He was meeting
with Navy Commander Gil Lively

- in New Orleans.
- About?

We're hoping you could tell us.
That's the last time anyone saw him.

- So you do think he's dead.
- That's enough.

- I'm sure he is fine. In the meantime...
- You'll be reporting a missing person.

[BEEPING AND WHIRRING]

Thank you.

Boss, ID'd the poison.

It is called batrachotoxin.

Secreted from a
South American poison dart frog.

Causes paralysis and/or death just
by touching it, let alone ingesting it.

- It was in the airplane food?
- On the utensils.

It's laced with a unique aerosol form
I can't trace.

Well, the silverware points to the chef,
whoever took Luca's place.

Still no ID and it would've meant
poisoning themselves.

So why all the secrecy
if it was a suicide mission?

Who else had access to the food?

Well, the NOLA team sent over
security footage from the hangar,

it's dated the night before the flight.

Shows the last living person seen
with the poisonous silverware.

Luca.

TONY:
"Colossal Fun."

[GRUNTING]

Argh!

Oh! All right, Abby, come on over.

There was a gate just back there.

- Haunted House used to be here?
- Yeah,

there was a headless skeleton outside
that scared Luca really bad,

but Mom and Dad made him go
on the ride anyway.

He didn't say a word to them
for weeks.

Weren't your parents deaf?

Yeah, he would just keep his hands
in his pockets.

Well, you are the only Sciuto I see
around here.

Right. Okay.

Let's split up. You go that way.

Luca?

Luca?

Luca?

Luca?

MAN:
Abby?

Luca?

Luca.

[CELL PHONE RINGS]

Yeah, boss?

ABBY:
Oh, my God.

Hi.

Oh, my God. Are you okay?

- What is going on?
- I don't know.

I woke up yesterday in a motel
with no idea how I got there.

Then I saw on TV that the plane
I was supposed to be on crashed,

and my apartment
has been ransacked.

I don't know who to trust except you.

[SIGHS]

- But I knew you'd come, Abby.
- Oh, God. Oh...

Tony.

Tony, we're over here.

- You brought the cops?
- He's not a... He's...

Tony's a friend with a badge.

Yeah. All right, boss, will do.

Luca, this
is Very Special Agent Tony DiNozzo.

Tony, this is my little brother, Luca.

It's nice to meet you, Luca.

You're under arrest.

What?

Luca, what did you do?

McGEE:
So Navy Commander Lively

met with Jenner Blye in New Orleans.

- We have no idea why.
- And afterwards, the commander flew

to D.C. to meet
with the Secretary of Defense.

BISHOP: About national security.
- Ominous, if not a little broad.

Except everyone on that plane
was killed with a powerful neurotoxin,

including the mystery man
who took Luca's place as chef.

McGEE:
Still no ID on that body.

It's not looking good
for Jenner Blye, either.

- Is he a suspect?
- No, another victim.

Louisiana State Police
just ID'd his car.

They're dragging the river
for a body.

Everyone connected
to the secret meeting

in NOLA is being targeted.

So our only living clue
is the real chef.

Maybe Luca knows
what this is all about.

What is this all about?

- Abby, hey, how was your...?
- My car ride? It was awful.

Tony wouldn't let me speak
to my own brother.

Is Luca really a murder suspect?

We're about to find out.
He's in interrogation now.

Who's questioning him?

Gibbs! No, wait!

- Don't hurt Luca.
- Abs, I'm just gonna talk to him.

Yeah, but Luca is really fragile
and you're really...

you.

- What's your point?
- He's not a killer. He's...

He's innocent and he's sweet.

And... And he's a Sciuto.

And did I mention he's innocent?

- Then we shouldn't have a problem.
- He will tell you everything he knows.

I'm not saying anything
without a lawyer.

Sorry, Agent Gibbs.

Is my sister watching this?

[KNOCKING]

[SIGHS]

- Luca!
- Abby, I can handle myself.

I told you that Gibbs hates lawyers.

- Let me break him.
- Abs, either you do this or I will.

What are you doing?

You told me what cops do
to people without lawyers

and that I should always ask
for one.

True. But this is different.

- How?
- This is family.

Luca, you're suspected
of poisoning everyone on that plane.

That wasn't my fault.

It was last-minute.
I used what I had.

But I knew the artichoke
wouldn't keep overnight

and that the beet puree
wouldn't reheat well.

Luca, I'm not talking
about food poisoning.

I'm talking
about batrachotoxin poisoning.

Is that a preservative?

They told me to prep the food

- to fly to D.C. the next day.
- You hate to fly.

I wanted to surprise you.
Next thing I know,

I woke up dumped in a motel
with a hangover.

- You don't drink.
- Someone drugged me.

And now everyone on that plane
is dead and I'm scared.

That's all I know.

Oh, okay.

That's what you used to say
to Mom and Dad

when you weren't telling
the whole truth.

- What?
- "That's all I know."

You lie better with your hands
than you do your mouth.

Are you protecting someone?

Wait, wait, wait.

He knows sign?

Yeah.

Luca is drawn to strays.

Anyone with a hard-luck case
and a sob story,

he wants to help them.

- Isn't that what you do, Abby?
- I look on the bright side.

- That's the same thing, Abby.
- No, it's not.

I look on the bright side,

but I acknowledge the fact
that there is a dark side.

You are just all sunshine.

I didn't realize there was someone
more positive than Abby.

And it gets him in trouble.

Especially with women.

Look, I don't need your help.

Pet shelter owner?

Oh, she said they'd have
to put down all of the animals

if I didn't get six
of my friends to invest.

- It was a Ponzi scheme.
- I try to help people.

And like I've told Agent Gibbs,
Eva's different.

She's running away
from an abusive husband.

And we connected
in a prayer group at church.

- She's honest.
- So the guns, the money,

listening device
found in your apartment?

Not mine and not hers.

Someone's setting me up
and putting her in danger.

- That's why you wouldn't talk?
- Look, I cook for Jenner Blye,

the most innovative man
in the world.

He's constantly under public scrutiny,
corporate espionage.

I serve dinner, but I have no idea
what Mr. Blye discusses over it.

Now, will you help me find Eva
and protect her?

Have you tried calling her?

She mostly calls me.
She changes cell phones a lot.

- Do you have a picture?
- She won't let me take pictures

just in case
her ex ever comes around.

Okay. So does she have...

Um... say, a last name?

Yes, she definitely took advantage
of him.

Sounds like it.

Someone wants to steal tech secrets
from Blye

and they bug his personal chef.

Yeah, the chef may not be
in the meeting, but he's in the house.

Poor Luca.

Oh, you been used
in a relationship there, Tony?

Or vice versa?

No comment.

Wounds are still fresh?

Follow-up on the rest
of brother's story?

Yes, and it checks out.

Motel owner said
he saw him leave the place,

seemed out of it,
he was missing a shoe.

We figure Eva took out Luca

and then, put the mystery man
in his place.

Are we sure this woman stayed
at Luca's place?

Said she's been crashing
for the last two weeks.

Who stays at someone's house
for two weeks

and doesn't leave any fingerprints
or hair?

- Woman didn't wanna be identified.
- I don't know why.

She cute.

- You found a picture?
- Not exactly.

Hmm.

GIBBS:
You can use this?

We use artist sketches all the time

and those are just
from witnesses' memories.

This artist had the subject
right in front of him.

- It's a cartoon, Abby.
- No, it exaggerates key features.

I just have to pull them back.

Because I know
what Luca actually looks like,

I have a baseline
for how the artist exaggerates.

Ha!

- It works.
- Of course it works.

- So who is she?
- I'm looking for database matches.

[COMPUTER BEEPS]

That was fast.
That was, like, super-fast.

- Well, that's good, right?
- Not really.

Eva's in four different
agency databases.

Make that five.

Including ours.

Why?

LEON:
Because Eva Azarova works

for Russian Diplomatic Counselor
Anton Pavlenko.

Are you sure?
She doesn't have an accent.

CIA, NSA, Homeland and Interpol

all have aliases
matching her description.

They can't confirm it,
but it's pretty clear

she's a sleeper agent
and she's using you.

Well, she must have a good reason.

Luca, we've worked
with her boss before.

- So he's a good guy, then.
- Only when it suits him.

Gibbs, you think
Pavlenko's behind all this?

- We're gonna find out.
- By finding Eva.

I'm sure she'll explain everything.

And I'm sure she is long gone
by now.

She would've called me first.

[CELL PHONE RINGS]

Hello?

- Eva. You okay? What's going...?
EVA: I'm fine, Luca.

She's calling for you.

Yeah. It's Gibbs.

Agent Gibbs, hello.

Now that NCIS is involved,
no doubt you've found out who I am

- and who I work for.
- Yeah.

Are you planning on using me
like you're using Luca?

Now, wait a minute.

Anton told me
you weren't one for small talk.

No, or cryptic phone calls.

- Things are not always as they seem.
- Really? Okay.

Tony, move.

Gibbs told me to arrest Luca.

It's not about that, yet.

Gibbs is on the phone
with our Russian spy

and I need to run a trace, fast.

First, her name is Eva.
Second, you can really do that?

If you didn't think I could do it, Luca,
why did you disconnect your phone?

The government can track it.
Didn't know you could.

- I am the government.
- Hmm.

Wow.

Cool. But what happens
when you find her?

- Gibbs happens.
- Oh, no.

It's not like he just goes out
and shoots spies on the spot.

I haven't heard
from Trent Kort lately.

I'm calling to ask
that you not contact

Counselor Pavlenko
via official channels.

Ha, ha. That's funny.
It's never official with him.

Lives depend on it, Agent Gibbs.

Then tell me how to contact him.

You'll figure something out.

- Did you get that trace?
- Kind of. Call was digitally re-routed,

then terminated
before I got all the details.

But Eva is definitely somewhere
on the 700 block of K Street.

- That's a lot of doors to knock on.
ABBY: Yeah.

It's not like one of them
is gonna have a sign outside

that says "Russian hangout."

Actually, there is.

Tusovka.
It's a four-star restaurant

known for borsch
with caviar and sour cream,

and for refusing service
to anyone who doesn't speak Russian.

- Tusovka is actually Russian for...
- Hangout.

- It's probably just a coincidence.
- Or it's a trap.

Eva wouldn't do that.
But if she is there, be nice!

Please?

Federal agents.

Agent Gibbs,
I'm honored you could join me.

Agent DiNozzo.

TONY:
Eva, where is she?

In New Orleans where I want her.

This was a technological ruse.

Clearly my time with NCIS
has rubbed off.

Have a seat.

Please.

Drink?

- Talk.
- The last time we talked...

- I helped you find a killer.
- You looking for a repayment?

Hardly.

I'm helping yet again.

That is why we must meet in secret.

I'm going against my government
and risking my life.

Perhaps when we're finished here,
you'll believe me.

Try me.

The man who took Luca Sciuto's place
on that plane was one of my agents.

He was going to represent me

in a meeting
with your Secretary of Defense.

The commander knew
there was a Russian onboard?

It was his idea. I can't very well
be seen at the Pentagon these days.

Oh, back up.

- The murders on the plane.
- Not my doing. Quite the opposite.

I want to save lives.

- The meeting in New Orleans.
- I arranged it.

- Bull.
- I'm trying to prevent war.

No matter what you think of me
personally, don't question that.

That was a gift.

Don't spill.

Well, you need it more than me.

[SIGHS]

I found out my government
was planning to steal technology

that Mr. Blye had developed
for the American military.

I spent two days in New Orleans

and what I saw
confirmed everything.

The commander was flying to D.C.
to go public.

Ever heard of Project Manta Ray?

Its theft could start a war.

We must prevent that together.

[GASPS]

Counselor? Call an ambulance.

Counselor?

[GASPING]

Well, the swabs show that the vodka
bottle was laced with the neurotoxin.

Gibbs touched that bottle.

And luckily, it was only on the cap,
waiting for someone to open it.

- He said he got it as a gift.
- From who?

This means he was telling the truth
about risking his life.

The Russians behind this?

Great. It's the '80s all over again.

- You're right, he jokes under stress.
- That supposed to be about Zoe?

- I heard it got physical.
- Yes, it did. We went to dinner,

decided things
really weren't working out,

agreed to end it,

and say our goodbyes...

the next morning.

Consulate's already on their way
to collect the body.

Yes.

Except it's our only clue
as to where Pavlenko's been

- and what Manta Ray actually is.
- Yes.

Okay. Good talk.

- I told you Eva was good.
- We don't know that for sure.

You just said the guy
she was working with was helping.

Yeah, but she could've killed him.

The case is still open.

You're going after her.

We are going after
whoever murdered those people.

It wasn't her.

After the last two days,
how can you say that?

Innocent until proven guilty.
You taught me that.

Mom and Dad too.

Three years ago,
when you told me we were adopted,

it all made sense.

It's why we are who we are,
you and me.

Our family takes people in,
helps them, sight unseen.

And I need you to accept me.

Sunshine, unicorn farts and all. Heh.

This place has good fries,
but the coffee's crap.

Do not say that to Gibbs.

And stop trying to protect me.

I'm getting on a plane back home
first thing tomorrow.

What?

Why?

You could still be in danger.

Luca...

are you in love with Eva?

Please stay out of it
and please stop worrying.

If we want answers,
body's our best bet.

- Can't ever be easy, can it?
- No.

Well, then, I guess...

bring it on.

Van's already on the way to you.

I think we better stick
to country roads, doctor.

Yeah, but we may have
to take a couple of freeways.

This is so exciting.

Absconding to New Orleans
under the cover of night. Ha-ha-ha.

Yeah, the only thing we have
to decide is when to stop for tea.

[ENGINE REVVING
AND TIRES SCREECHING]

Whoa!

[TIRES SCREECH]

[GUNS COCKING]

Doctor?
