NCIS

Go, go, go, go. Security's gonna roll through any minute.

Don't rush me, bro. I'm an artist.

I need to feel it.

What is that, a duck?

- Dragon. - Why does your dragon look like a duck?

That's not very nice.

Everyone knows I struggle with complex shapes.

Time's up. We got to bounce.

Who nominated you the fun police?

You rather have the real police?

You're being very hurtful today.

Trust me, we're fine.

Nobody cares about this dump.

Freeze!

Base police!

Hands in the air.

How did you get in here?

Well, looks like somebody cares about this dump after all.

Evidence garage clear.

Is that all you have in your backpack?

Autopsy all clear.

- All right. - What the hell?

Thank you for coming in.

"Thank you"? It's my damn agency.

It was your agency, Mr. Vance.

Director Vance.

Army CID doesn't relieve my authority

for another three days.

Didn't mean to offend. My name is...

I don't care. What I do care about is that.

It's been barely a month since CID took over operations,

and you can't even secure the building?

- Mr.... - Director.

- Director, that is not why I'm here. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

The world is moving on without us. I got it.

But the one thing that I do insist on

is that this building be shown the respect that it deserves.

- Of course, but... - But...

you have no clue how those taggers got on the base

and now you want me to do your job for you.

I'm not here for them.

And I didn't call you in to discuss base security.

So why am I here?

Because you're under arrest.

Oh, glad I showered this morning.

I don't think anyone here followed your lead.

Any idea what this emergency meeting's about?

I think it's some kind of emergency.

That is what I love about you.

You don't miss a thing.

Whoa.

Did you know this many people worked here?

Where did we get all the chairs?

Right?

I heard from Dominic in the motor pool

that terrorists are planning on

shutting down the entire Internet.

Anybody knows what's going on here?

- Trying to figure it out. - It's got to be something big.

Well, Director Vance got a priority message

from DoD last night,

but for some reason I'm blocked.

So unblock yourself.

You see I'm typing right now? I'm trying.

Parker, what do you think?

Do you know something?

Just, just wait.

I want to thank you all for coming on such short notice.

I, um, wanted you to hear this in person

before you heard it through the grapevine.

There's no easy way to say this, so, um, I'll just say it.

Per a priority directive from DoD...

...NCIS is to cease all operations

by the end of the week.

We're being shut down

and folded into the Army Criminal Investigative Division.

I know this comes as a shock to you all.

It does to me as well.

I have a lot of questions.

And I know you all have a lot of questions.

So I would like to introduce

CID Director Wayne Rogers,

who will discuss procedures

for transferring our caseload over to CID.

Director Rogers.

Thank you, Director Vance.

And as he just said,

I know this comes as a shock.

Well, I don't believe this.

Why do I get the feeling that you knew something?

Probably because I, um, knew something.

Director told me last night.

What?

Why didn't you say anything?

I guess I didn't know what to say.

Didn't quite believe it either.

Believe it.

Just got access to the DoD directive.

According to this, we are all being reassigned.

Reassigned where?

That's a good question.

Thank you for your service

and God bless.

Assistant's office clear.

Director's office clear.

Command, this is One-Alpha...

Thank you, gentlemen.

Well, I appreciate you letting me be questioned in my office.

- My boss preferred it, actually. - I imagine.

It's not every day he has the head

of a federal agency arrested.

Oh, and I'd love to know the charge.

That is how it still works, right?

You know who this man is?

CID Agent Dolan Thompson.

He was overseeing the transfer of some of our agents to CID.

Agents McGee and Knight, for starters.

It seems they took it upon themselves

to open an unauthorized case.

So agents using their own discretion

is now considered unruly?

This isn't just a procedural matter, Director.

Agent Thompson was just found face down in a ditch.

And the last people to see him alive

were your former agents.

I don't like the insinuation.

Oh, I'm not insinuating.

I think your people colored outside the lines,

like they love to do, and got a CID agent killed.

And I think you're covering for 'em.

You wanted to know the charge?

It's obstruction, and if you're going to be

a stick in the mud, we can raise that to conspiracy.

- I got nothing to hide. - So talk.

- Is that a question? - What do you know

about this case they were investigating?

I know it wasn't McGee and Knight who opened it.

It was Agent Torres.

Wait, didn't Agent Torres refuse his-his transfer to CID?

He did.

Which didn't give him a lot of options

in today's job market.

This baby's onboard AI...

it's practically self-aware.

I just need it to make calls.

Oh, calls? I mean, who uses their phone

to make calls nowadays?

Am I right? I mean...

Agent Torres ended up at DEA

and was immediately put undercover.

Which suited him at first.

Becoming someone else was right up his alley.

Okay, well, you can't live like a caveman anymore.

But Torres was a lone wolf

who finally found his pack...

I'm not sure if I mentioned

there's a chance to win a trip to Alaska.

...and he didn't like running solo anymore.

And then fate intervened.

Welcome to, uh, Buzz-Mobile.

Hope you're having a buzzy day.

- Not really. - Oh, then you came

to the right place 'cause we have a promotion...

I-I don't need a new phone, Agent Torres.

I need your help.

Do I know you?

No.

But I know you.

At least I've heard a lot about you.

From who?

And how'd you know I was here?

I saw you in here, like, two days ago.

It has to be a sign.

Of what?

Like I said...

I need your help.

My name's Billy.

Billy Fuentes.

NCIS once helped my family a long time ago.

And we need your help again.

It was obvious that NCIS represented

something pretty sacred to this man.

And his story, if I may be poetic,

touched the lone wolf's heart.

So Agent Torres decided...

Please tell me we're not about to do

a "put the team back together again" thing.

You want to hear the story or not?

So, after Mr. Fuentes left,

Agent Torres realized that he needed to...

...um...

...put the team back together.

Starting with Agents McGee and Knight.

Agent Knight handled

her transfer much better than Torres.

She had already lost everything, rose from the ashes.

And as a trained hostage negotiator...

...she's always calm under pressure.

Where's my office?

It's right there, ma'am.
