NCIS

One more item to discuss Admiral.

You got 30 seconds.

I have breakfast with the Under Secretary.

It's about the Hornets on the Phoenix, sir.

Offloading ordnance?

Yes, sir.

We've got 14 tons on deck waiting to go.

But the problem is the weather.

I'm looking at it.

Try it tonight if the ceiling lifts.

But I don't want any Gatlings in the Atlantic.

That makes two of us.

Thank you, sir.

Fleet movements in the Suez, sir.

And remember to print out your speech.

Oh, right.

The Elliott Virus

has encrypted your device with an unbreakable algorithm.

Purchase a decryption key or lose your data forever.

The hell is this?

Downey.

What did you do?

Nothing. I opened an e-mail.

The Elliott Virus has encrypted your device

with an unbreakable algorithm. Sir, you've been hacked.

Purchase a decryption key or lose your data forever.

Shooters assume a good firing position.

Fire at will.

Cease fire. Cease fire.

Clear and lock, and face your weapon.

Now shooters you may go

downrange to check your targets.

Boss, where's your SIG?

Old Corps, McGee. Going back to my roots.

That your old .45?

That's my dad's Colt. 1911.

I grew up shooting it.

Reliable. Packs a punch.

I don't know.

It just feels right. Yeah.

I can see why. Special Agent McGee.

Yes? Lieutenant Downey.

Aide to Vice Admiral Chase. He okay?

He needs to see Agent McGee right away.

Sure.

Hey, Gibbs.

Where's Quinn?

This was a mandatory re-qual.

Worry about yourself, Torres.

And your aim.

Oh, no.

No, no, no, no, no. Not there. Not there.

Uh, the impatiens go over there.

They only, they only thrive in the shade.

Like some people I know.

Marie.

There you are. Hey!

Baby! Wh...

What are you doing here?

What am I doing here?

Okay, let's go with your question.

You text me, “911. Emergency.”

Oh, forget about that.

I'm obviously okay now.

It's not obvious to me the last hour.

I... Where's your phone?

Um, it's here. Here.

You know, I have a very bad relationship with this phone.

Yep, I have the ringer off.

I'm sorry, baby.

Oh.

- Look at this place. - Hmm. - Look at it.

Look at all the color.

Oh, God, I love spring.

Jorge, uh, the pansies go in the window box.

The window box. Marie...

- Oh, never mind, I'll deal with that later. - Marie, listen, next time,

no more 911s unless you really mean it from now on, okay?

Okay. Okay?

Okay. Okay.

See you tomorrow night.

What's tomorrow night?

Darling, it's your father's birthday.

Oh, come on, you didn't forget.

I'm making my celebrated 12-hour ribs, baby.

No, I did... I didn't forget.

Uh, I'll be here.

Ransom what?

Ransomware.

Like malware. The computer virus.

How did I get it? Well, my guess is

you clicked a link that had the ransomware embedded in it.

Oh, my sister's e-mail.

Is there any classified data on here?

Classified, unclassified.

And when was the last time you backed this up?

Never.

I have antivirus software.

Viruses mutate.

Well...

That's why the flu virus circumvents

the flu vaccine every year.

What does this mean?

Well, you click that,

and it sends the virus to people you know.

They pay, you get the decryption key.

Admiral, you're not the first one

to be infected by ransomware, and you won't be the last.

Hundreds of companies, thousands of people

have all paid the ransom.

Well, I won't. No way in hell.

You know, Admiral,

it's pretty reasonable, actually-- it's $500.

Tim, your father used to brag about you all the time.

Said you were NCIS's number one cyber tech.

I know you can figure this out.

Admiral, this isn't some kind of riddle that I can solve.

Okay, the data is locked up

until you input the decryption key.

So input it.

That's what I'm trying to tell you is that

you need to pay to get the key.

If you don't pay, you lose everything on here--

photos, documents, everything.

41 years in the Navy,

I have never surrendered to the enemy.

I'm not about to start now.

Impressive range score, Ellie.

Only three points behind Gibbs.

Really? Hmm. I didn't notice.

Yeah, Ellie's a deadeye. Glad she's on our side.

- Ah, there she is. - Morning.

Hey, Quinn, you missed a serious gunplay this morning.

Oh.

Really, though, where were you?

Uh, at the corner of mind your own business.

Oh.

Okay.

You won't believe what that was about.

The admiral asked you to track down the computer hacker

who infected his laptop with ransomware?

Yeah, he called Vance after you left.

Gibbs is up there right now.

This guy won't let up. Where's his laptop?

I didn't take it. I told him there's nothing I could do.

You did the right thing, McGee. Thank you, boss.

Quinn. Mm-hmm.

Are you good?

You need more time? No, thank you.

Oh, the admiral.

Looks like he finally came to his senses.

The Elliott Virus

has encrypted your device with an unbreakable...

No, no. No, no, no, no, no.

Wait, what just happened? Is that...

Wait. Everyone, listen up. Get off your Wi-Fis.

We're all connected on the same network.

If I got infected...

Purchase a decryption key or lose your data forever.

Purchase a decryption key or lose your data forever.

We all got hacked.

You intentionally infected an NCIS agent

with a computer virus?

I was trying to motivate him.

By committing a felony? Five felonies?

I meant to send it to Tim only.

Viruses spread.

Are you going after me

or the hacker that started this? We could do both.

Look, I was able

to contain the virus to only our team.

Nothing classified is at risk; all data's backed up.

That said, I don't suspect our admiral

would have done something so foolish

without a very good reason.

It's photographs.

Of my wife, God rest her soul.

Memories I can't get back.

I meant to print them out.

That's why we have to get this guy.

Sir, we have our entire cyber crime unit working on this,

but as far as getting our hacker by tomorrow,

it's just impossible.

Nothing is impossible, Tim.

Hypothetically, how would someone defeat

this ransomware virus?

Humor me.

Well, there's only one way,

and that would be to find the physical location

of the computer server hosting it, shut it down from there.

And this server could operate from anywhere?

Anywhere in the world.

That's why most people pay the $500.

It's not worth the time and energy to fight.

Well, paying the ransom may be

the answer for civilians, Agent McGee,

but the government's not in the business

of financing terrorists.

And make no mistake, that's exactly
