NCIS: Sydney

This guy works for Meyers.

Looks like he just broke into the country.

Maybe to break Meyers out of it.

You're plumping up the cattle for sale.

Let the deal go through.

I get paid,

you get to shut down

the largest narco supply chain the world has ever known.

It's called a diffraction pattern.

It most likely contains vast amounts of data.

That requires trust.

What do I have to do to earn yours?

Trust takes time.

I need a list of Delta Force operators

who cycled out in the last 10 years.

Ryan Brady.

You guys know each other?

Ryan is Trey's dad.

So either way, we never let it happen again?

Not if we want to continue working together.

Oh, that is Director John Callaghan,

Office of National Control Drug Policy.

I may have let it slip to the Director

that it's Trey's birthday.

He has offered to take us out to dinner tonight.

Thank the Director, but Trey and I already have plans.

Hey, Mom. Sounds like you got held up.

I'm gonna grab dinner with Dad and Director Callaghan.

..where it appears the vehicle

slammed into the safety barricade,

plunging into the river below.

The only known survivor

is visiting US drug czar, John Callaghan.

I know, baby, but there's nothing to worry about.

I'm back on base. I'm inside the wire. I'm fine.

Just come home, Mom. I miss you!

I miss you too, Trey.

But Mommy can't come home just yet.

Why not?

'Cause I still got work to do.

Argh!

Striker 1 is going down!

Brace! Brace! Brace!

It's part of keeping people safe, baby.

That's what Mommy does.

Hey, what have you got?

Look, as far as we can tell,

there were four people in the car -

the driver, Callaghan, Ryan and Trey.

Looks like it veered and crashed through the barricade at speed.

Rescue divers are in the water.

Hey...

..they found anyone besides Callaghan?

Oh, God, I...

I'm so sorry.

Talk us through what you remember.

We... we were driving,

and Trey was telling me about Yale

and ROTC, all of that.

Then a loud bang and...

I mean, I don't know,

next thing I wake up on the riverbank.

So how did you get here? You swim here?

You float? Did someone help you?

I can't remember anything

between going off the bridge and coming to.

Then think, for Godsake!

We found a body!

What about the other passengers?

Have you found them yet?

There was no one else in the wreck, ma'am. This is it.

Macka.

Gunshot wound to the head.

Mom?

Oh! Baby!

Ohh!

- Are you okay? Are you hurt? - Mom...

You're gonna be fine, sweetheart.

Mom!

They took Dad.

The car was underwater.

It was, like, super dark.

I... I tried to help the driver,

but... he...

We know about the driver, Trey.

It's okay.

We somehow got to the bank. It...

That's when I heard them.

Heard who?

There was three of them.

They had guns.

What happened, baby?

I tried to stay.

I... I wanted to, but Dad yelled at me.

He screamed at me, told me to run and hide.

Trey.

Was this one of the men?

Yes.

Traffic cams.

Princes Highway, both directions.

Red light, speed cams, dash cams.

If it's got pixels, I want it.

Do I sound like I wanna be on hold?

You want me to boss your boss?

I will happily boss your boss. Put her on.

This is an FBI-NCIS manhunt, so, respectfully,

you can either help or get the hell outta our way.

Our tasking is to run down Delta Guy. Nothing's changed.

Everything's changed.

The drug czar's chief of staff was just abducted.

Sir, Tate Hanley means we've got a witness

who can land Meyers in The Hague.

Our remit remains the same.

No, that's no longer up to you.

This is now an international incident.

This is DSS. This is the State Department.

This is the White House, for Godsake!

And us.

You're not hearing me.

This is bigger than all of you.

You're a heartbeat away from being shut out.

But until then, we're still here.

Ryan is my son's dad.

Okay?

I'll keep the door open as long as I can,

but... we're NCIS, not NSA.

Only so much I can do.

Boss, Ryan dropped this off

when he picked up Trey this arvo.

Thanks.

Last 10 years of Delta operators who have cycled out.

Bingo.

Cross-check these with the passport photo of Delta Guy.

And we can put a name to this son of a bitch.

And big breath in, mate.

Hmm.

Dad's got type 1 diabetes.

Oh. And... out.

He needs insulin twice a day.

He misses even one round and he could get really sick.

Like, he could...

People with long-term health issues

are usually pretty good at managing them.

Besides, he won't be missing that long.

Not if your mum's got anything to do with it.

What do you mean?

She walked in here day one

and she started throwing her weight around

like she was Stormin' Norman himself.

End of that day, she had broken into a nuclear submarine,

stolen a dead sailor

and hijacked an Australian Navy helicopter.

So whoever took your dad...

..has got your mum to answer to.

Assuming she wants him back.

Hey, you're selling her short.

She doesn't walk away from a fight.

Macka.

State cops are convinced

the primary target was Callaghan.

So why not take him?

Maybe they couldn't find him.

It was dark. Limited time frame. They panicked.

These guys just took out the driver of a moving vehicle

with a single shot.

They're not the panicking kind.

I think Ryan was the target.

So what's Meyers' game by snatching Ryan?

Meyers is selling The Collective.

And what good is that if he's doing life in prison?

And Hanley's testimony

suddenly makes that a distinct possibility.

It's a prisoner swap.

Ryan for Meyers.

Well, that's a non-starter.

The government will do everything in its power

to get Ryan back, but that cannot extend

to negotiating with narco-terrorists.

Meyers doesn't see himself that way.

We're not even certain it is Meyers.

Are you kidding me?

This guy took Ryan

and he works for Meyers.

Have you been paying attention, Ambassador?

Let's just, uh, take a beat, shall we?

Someone like Meyers

knows the longstanding government position,

yet he still takes Ryan?

How's that make any sense?

I have no idea, which is why we should hear him out.

What the hell have we got to lose at this point?

Is that a serious question?

The optics would be catastrophic.

Due respect, we just lost the drug czar's chief of staff

to a narco-syndicate.

We don't get him back,

we set the war on drugs back a decade.

You don't win wars by surrendering to the enemy.

I've spoken to the President.

Our position is clear.
