We should have some extra space right back here.
This do you good?
This is perfect, Earl.
The Hero Comfort Foundation wants to give away a thousand of these
T-shirts after the concert and, so we just really need...
Need a place where you can get to 'em fast, huh?
Yeah, I know the drill. Yeah.
But... that's not why I picked this particular boudoir.
Ah.
Hmm?
This is a Vintage '62. A beaut, huh?
Overheard one of the musicians during rehearsal.
Said it was given to him by Merle Haggard.
God. Wow.
Why don't you give her a whirl?
I don't think that's a good idea, man.
It's just, uh... Oh. (laughs)
What's the worst that can happen?
I keep hearing what a badass you are-- from you.
Time to put up or shut up.
All right.
== sync, corrected by elderman == @elder_man
MAN (over phone): No, no, no, no.
Somebody's having a good day.
I don't think so.
Oh, that's a good one.
I'm not joking; I'm serious.
What do you mean you're serious?
Told you.
Dad, it's your wedding.
You and Linda should be planning it. I c-can't get involved in...
No, no, no, no, no. (chuckles) Save the date cards
are like crack cocaine to women. Mm,
not this woman. Of course, I'm honored
that you would trust me to plan your wedding.
Nothing would give me greater pleasure
than to plan your wedding. But I... Hello?
No, no, no, no... Hello?
He got me.
He just pulled the
"This is my wedding gift to him" card.
Well, that's a very nice one. Mm-hmm.
I guess it beats the steak knives I was gonna re-gift him.
Hmm.
Hey, Bishop... Hmm?
You've done this. Mm-mm.
Forget it. No, my wedding was so small
I practically eloped.
Give me a down payment on a house over a
rubber chicken dinner any day of the week.
All right, I got this.
What do Katherine Heigl and J. Lo have in common?
Wedding planner.
No, Tony. No, no, no.
It's a waste of money. Let me tell you something.
There's Web sites out there that'll
walk you through the whole process.
Help you make a budget,
plan a guest list, even order invitations.
Look at this-- it's one of my favorite sites.
Do-It-Yourself Napkin Folding?
Yeah.
The goblet fan's pretty classy, huh?
Yeah, this isn't at all weird.
You can save thousands of dollars
by doing your own place settings.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
I am not paying for the wedding,
I am planning the wedding.
McGEE: You sure?
Was your dad that specific?
Oh... Okay.
In that case, the goblet fan
might be too complicated.
He's more of a French pleat guy.
McGEE: Problem with the French pleat:
it's not as easy to do as it looks.
Oh, yeah. Gotta have a pretty high thread count
to get that straight angle, huh?
McGEE: Exactly.
Hey, look, a bishop's hat. Yeah.
Hey, boss. We were just... Scaring me.
Dead sailor.
Convention Center.
Move.
Wow.
Oh, that's such a shame.
Vintage '62 Telecaster.
Yeah, a real tragedy.
Yeah, 'cause...
The dead people are a shame, too, it's just...
Oh, look, it's McGee!
Fire chief doesn't know yet
the cause of the explosion.
Maybe a gas line. Luckily, the sprinklers
put out the fire pretty fast.
But not fast enough, it appears.
Unless our victims were killed by the explosion itself.
Yeah, or something else. You never know.
I like the way you think, Mr. Palmer.
To whom do we have the displeasure?
The older one is Earl Grieves, 54.
He's the head janitor for the auditorium.
Military charity was hosting a concert here.
"Hero Comfort Foundation."
Not much comfort today. Gibbs.
You're gonna need dental on the sailor, Duck.
You mean Petty Officer Damien Hunter?
Oh, my God.
Gibbs, this is Director Vivian Sutton.
She runs the local HCF office.
And this is... Luke Pischedda. Concert coordinator.
Damien was working for us.
What happened?
Well, you're looking at it.
What kind of work was he doing?
He was a volunteer.
We have a concert tomorrow for the troops...
...and he was helping...
He was helping make sure that families
of deployed servicemen would be able to attend.
Which we still plan on. Not here.
The venue's closed until it can be verified
structurally sound.
Oh, don't worry.
The HCF is a military charity.
If it's one thing we know how to do, it's improvise.
The show will go on.
And we should dedicate this to Damien.
Everyone did love him.
McGEE: Not everyone.
This wasn't an accident.
Fire chief says this was
the source of the explosion. It's a...
Warhead shell from a Mark 24 torpedo.
Mark 24? Aren't those from...
World War II.
Petty Officer First Class Damien Hunter
graduated with honors from RTC Great Lakes.
Did two tours on the USS Carl Vinson
before being assigned to the Pax River chow hall.
Where he didn't gain a pound, which is impressive.
Being around all that food all the time?
I mean, if that were me, I would...
I'd-I'd probably, um...
get back into the case. Yeah. Me, too.
Well, our answer for now
is the deaths appear to be collateral damage.
Abby says the bomb
wasn't set to go off until midnight.
She thinks it was detonated accidentally
by some kind of vibration.
Fire chief's final report says the explosive
was hidden inside an old torpedo shell
that was used as set dressing.
What was the target?
McGEE: It's not a what.
It's a who.
The room was also being used
as a dressing room
for one of the acts in HCF's concert.
Yikes.
What kind of concert is it, exactly?
Well, the charity is calling it
the Country Rock Back-Up Bands Tour.
So it's a concert of bands that normally opens
for other bands?
Who opens for them? Him.
He's the opening act. Manheim Gold.
According to the director, he used to open for
all the big names, back in the day.
Where is he now?
McGEE: Nobody knows.
He never showed up for rehearsal.
Find him.
Wow, this Manheim guy
really did open for all the big names.
How come I've never heard of him?
Keep reading.
Ouch, yikes.
Yeah, he threw one too many TVs
out his hotel window.
Oh, and his first agent. Mm, great.
Well, lucky for them both, there was a pool below.
All right.
This is Manheim's day job.
Hello?
Hello?
You think it would be weird
if I asked him for an autograph?
Not any weirder
than Tony asking for a suspect's
phone number. Hmm.
Hello?
Anybody home?
What do you think happened?
Well, it looks like someone was looking for something.
Or worse. I'll call in the BOLO.
Okay...
Uh... And... done.
