NCIS

Target secure. Sending out the hostage.

Coming in from the back.

Knight's gonna be working on the investigation with us.

Was it worth it?

Some things, Bishop, they have a cost.

I'm Marcie, by the way.

I knew the murder victim.

Hannah. The killer is still out there.

I want you to help me find him.

So now there are three.

This is starting to look like a...

Serial killer.Yeah.

Talk to me, Bishop.

Still breathing, McGee.

Hold your position. Backup's on the way.

Can't wait. Two shots left.

Cover me. I got to get a better angle.

Don't do it, Ellie.

You move, you get shot.

Cover me. Three, two, one.

Ellie? I'm okay, I'm okay. I'm not hit.

Here are the guns they were trying to sell. And the guy who ran?

Escaped out the back. These two?

Dead.

They sure as hell are.

What?

What

the hell was that?

Good morning to you, too, Nick.

Good morning? That's it.

We're gonna pretend like you didn't go Lara Croft last night?

Shooting, sliding, shooting?

And don't give me any "those were lucky shots,"

because luck has nothing to do with that.

I want answers.

So do I, Agent Torres.

Why did you turn that warehouse

into a shooting gallery?

I authorized an undercover gun buy.

Yes, and that is what it was supposed to be, Director.

The plan was for Torres and McGee to pose as buyers,

so we could figure out who was selling stolen Navy weapons.

But we got made.

How? I don't know.

As soon as McGee and I walked in, they started shooting.

And Agent Bishop shot back.

Yeah, she did.

She killed two

out of the three gun dealers.

But not the dealer that this whole operation

was meant to take down?

No. The top guy, known as Mr. Flori,

is the guy who got away.

Any ID on his friends?

No, they, they travelled light.

No wallets, just burn phones,

and their fingerprints aren't in the system.

Where's McGee?

He's down with Kasie. They're trying to hack

the dead guys' burn phones.

Not trying. Succeeding.

Got in, found out that both suspects have been calling

the same number almost every day this week.

Did you trace the number? I did.

To a land line. Got an address.

Put down the hammer, Gibbs.

The seas have parted,

the sun is shining, I made a spreadsheet

and it has paid off.

Did you hear me?

Whoa. Good morning.

Need more coffee?

No.

See, this is the part where you're supposed to say,

"Wow, Marcie, that is great.

What did you find?" and I say, "I found another pattern."

For the love of God.

Here, just-just look at these dates.

Look at the dates.

Hannah was killed 100 days after Brian.

The third victim was killed exactly 100 days after that.

I mean, so what do you call that?

Our serial killer has a pattern.

Okay, what is wrong with you?

Nothing.

You are pricklier than normal.

No, no, I'm-I'm good.

You're not. Tell me.

Hey, will you stop with the questions?

Look, I'm not one of your stories.

Anymore, you mean.

Come on, what's going on with you?

You have a thorn in your paw?

A hole in your boat?

Boat's done.

Well, that's interesting.

What?

I don't know. You

day-drinking from a jar.

Maybe building the boat meant more than finishing the boat?

If your chart's right, there should be

another dead body out there 100 days from the third.

Right, which would've been last month.

But, trust me, I have stayed up nights looking

and I can't find anything.

Doesn't mean it's not there.

Wow.

I just can't believe I didn't think of that

before I ran down all those stairs.

Not to diminish your talent as an excellent boat builder,

but you are also a detective, right?

I mean, I could use a little help here.

Expand the search. Look into missing persons.

Could be another body out there from last month

that hasn't showed up yet.

Right.

Thank you, Gibbs.

I appreciate it.

And by the way, if it makes you feel any better,

um, well, it's not done yet.

What?

It's bad luck to launch a boat without a name.

Clear.

And by clear, I mean, like, empty.

Like, no furniture, not even a...

Phone.

Well, I was gonna say couch, but yeah, no phone.

No, I mean, there's-there's got to be a land line around here

somewhere, that's how we found this place.

I didn't see one.

I got a jack in here.

Guys.

What you got?

Crawl space.

Well, I'd say we found their stash house.

Yeah, and these are some big guns.

"U.S. Government."

This is strange. Found this in there. NSA documents.

Well, this is all classified.

Why would gunrunners, have stolen NSA Intel?

'Cause they're not just selling weapons.

They're selling secrets.

All right, what does it say?

This report details a secret op where the U.S.

used Syrian refugees as bait

to lure an al-Qaeda leader out of hiding.

Is that even legal? Legal, yes.

Ethical? No wonder the NSA

didn't want those details to see the light of day.

It still doesn't explain how a bunch of,

gun nuts stole the classified file.

That's a question for the NSA.

Well, we've looped them in already.

They're investigating now.

I can help you with that.

Director Vance gave me this empty desk

so I could type up my after action report

from the explosion that...

Anyway,

I've worked with the NSA on dozens of joint ops,

so I have a couple of contacts over there that I could call.

And, yes, I was eavesdropping.

We appreciate the offer, Agent Knight,

but, actually, Bishop has this one covered.

She was an analyst there when this report was written.

Well, that was over ten years ago, McGee,

and most of my contacts are gone by now.

So anything you could dig up.

On it. I could use a distraction anyway.

Jimmy's got something. All right, well

I guess, keep digging,

so we can ID these arms dealers.

I'd love a ginger ale, please.

Hi, Kase.

I have the item.

Why are you whispering?

Why are you not?

Because there's no reason to.

Thank goodness.

I-I didn't know the protocol.

When you first asked me for a bug detector,

my mind starting working overtime,

thinking, you know, maybe you were in trouble or something.

Are you in trouble or something?

Or something.

Here you go.

How do you use this?

It's completely idiot-proof.

But a quick overview never hurt.

So, you just press

this button to turn it on,

and then you just sort of sweep it in front of you

as you walk through the room.

If it detects a listening device

or anything transmitting an RF signal, it beeps.

The closer you get, the louder it beeps.

There you go, hon.Great.

So, are you being bugged?

Not at this second.

Enjoy your ginger ale.Well...
