Hey, they having a bulk sale at Suits R Us?
As a matter of fact, yeah. Pretty snazzy, right?
Yeah, if its your First Communion.
Or if youre picking up the keys
to the sweet new house you just bought.
Are you serious? Yeah.
Realtor said it was gonna be a great investment.
What are your contingencies?
How longs escrow? Have you seen any comps?
Uh, no contingencies, escrow closed this morning,
and I dont know what that third thing was.
What the hell, Sebastian? Why didnt you tell me?
Because I figured youd react the way
that youre reacting right now,
like Im being impulsive.
First smart thing youve said.
HANNAH: Good morning. Dr. Wade.
Black coffee,
a touch of chicory.
You know my poison?
I do my research.
Thank you.
I do my research.
Thank you.
You dont take coffee, Lasalle.
Who am I looking at?
Lieutenant Commander Spencer Morrison.
No wallet, no phone.
NOPD I.D.ed him off his fingerprints.
WADE: Abrasions and contusions
suggest a struggle.
HANNAH: Burst capillaries, bruising around the neck.
Strangulation?
My initial thought as well.
Strangulation?
My initial thought as well.
But Ive never seen a strangulation pattern like that.
A small cluster of bruising around the neck.
Very interesting.
Hey there.
First official crime scene as the boss.
Hows it going?
She brought me coffee.
Ah.
Iced for you two.
Never say no to an ice-cold bribe.
Iced for you two.
Never say no to an ice-cold bribe.
Not that you have to bribe us or anything, you know.
Unless youre secretly horrible.
Which... (coughs) clearly youre not.
Thank you, Sebastian.
What do we know about Commander Morrison?
Member of a diplomatic corps. Foreign affairs officer.
Specialized in the Middle East. Billeted out of D.C.
He was probably here for the Middle Eastern trade conference.
Thats right. Morrisons C.O. said
he was sent last minute to attend a conference mixer
yesterday evening.
Conference started at 8:00 p.m.
By 8:40, witnesses reported Morrison coming through here
running for his life.
Anybody see what he was running from?
No, but there are surveillance cameras
all over the park.
Already pulling the footage.
If someone was following Morrison,
they could have come here from the conference.
SEBASTIAN: Yeah, Gregorio and I can head over there,
start asking some questions.
Lets make it the three of us.
Ive had my share of interactions with diplomats.
Its always a delicate dance.
(sighs) Big shoes to fill,
but it seems like Hannahs holding her own all right.
I think Pride would approve.
Hope his first day as the big boss is going just as smooth.
Mmm.
(soul music playing over car stereo)
(music continues)
(music stops)
Special Agent in Charge.
Did you have any trouble finding your way?
Uh, not used to coming all this way
into the castle, but I made it.
Steven Thompson, your ASAC.
Heard a lot about you over the years.
Good things, I hope.
Well, stories, anyway.
D.C. wanted more field experience,
thats what they got.
(grunts)
Still recovering from your injuries? Hows that going?
Slowly and painfully.
This should be a welcome change of pace. This way.
Were already five minutes late for your meeting with JAG.
Huh?
I thought I was early.
At Southeast early means 30 behind.
Agent McGill used to arrive by 5:30.
He liked to get a head start.
Uh-huh.
Not sure I can promise to continue that routine, but...
SCIF facilities are this way,
chief of staff office is here.
C.O. is out of town; youll meet her when shes back.
A dozen other hands to shake, but no time.
Special Agent Pride.
Uh, yes.
Im Ginny Young, your assistant.
Oh, well, its a pleasure to meet you, Ginny.
Pleasures all mine. I got a stack of to-dos
and phone calls for you to return.
And these are the open case files for your meeting with JAG.
This meeting. That Im heading into now.
Yes. Anything wrong?
Uh... (clears throat)
No. I just, Im used to reading up ahead of time.
This is more of a read-as-you-go kind of deal.
SEBASTIAN:
Well, whoever was at the mixer last night
is at this breakfast right now.
So all we got to do is see
if anyone knows Morrison. Thats easy enough.
SEBASTIAN: Yeah, if youre fluent in 20 different languages.
And if the diplomats dont claim immunity and clam up.
Its best to keep it friendly and casual.
Ill tackle the Middle Eastern languages,
then move to Asia and Europe.
Well, Im-- how many languages do you speak?
Fluently, six. Yeah.
Big disappointment to the parents.
Oh.
But, Im conversational in about 15.
Its easy when your mothers a linguist.
All right, well, Ill take Russian
off your plate.
Great.
Yeah, and I got high school Spanish on lockdown...
Yeah.
Yeah, and I got high school Spanish on lockdown...
Yeah.
...so,

Okay,
buena suerte.
Yeah. What?
(indistinct chatter)
(sighs)
JAG 1: Case number 147503. Stolen medical supplies.
Items have been recovered unharmed.
Case is being shelved for now.
Okay, how many arrests?
None.
Well, then the case isnt closed.
Im looking over the file,
and a couple witness statements
seem fishy-- the orderly who called in the theft...
THOMPSON: What the SAC is saying
is keep the investigation open until arrests are made.
Well, that wasnt exactly
what I was saying, but...
Lets sidebar.
what I was saying, but...
Lets sidebar.
Okay.
Next.
JAG 2: Case 15877.
Petty Officer Carmine, Jonathan.
UA out of Pensacola going on three weeks.
Investigating agent thinks he took an unscheduled vacation.
I-I see that, but he didnt pack a bag.
So I-Im wondering if maybe we should...
(quietly): Uh, respectfully. Yes.
I know fieldworks second nature, but, uh,
weve got 37 of these to get through.
(phone rings)
Oh. Excuse me.
Carry on.
(scoffs)
Loretta.
Well,
Loretta.
Well,
I guess old habits do die hard.
I meant to call Hannah.
Youre not the only one struggling with transitions.
First day blues?
First day frustration.
No one will let me do anything.
Oh, perhaps youre trying to do too much.
You took the job for a reason.
Just slow down, focus on health.
You should give it more than an hour and a half.
Doctors orders.
Yeah.
Before you go, what do you got?
Dont you think that should be Hannahs concern?
Uh... maybe, but...
Im invoking SACs privilege. Spill.
(sighs)
Foreign affairs officer asphyxiated
in the Carousel Gardens.
Looks like a sharp strike forced his trachea
into his airways.
PRIDE: Close combat blow. Trained killer.
You might have a professional hit on your hands.
THOMPSON: Special Agent Pride.
Thats my babysitter. Gotta go.
Were reconvening with JAG tomorrow.
Budget meeting just got pushed up, too.
You might get lucky and have a few minutes for lunch.
Huh.
That does sound lucky.
(jet passes overhead)
Uh, okay. Lets try this again.
Um, cocktail mixer, uh, last night.
Ah, coffee, with cream and sugar.
Oh, no. Im not a, Im not a waiter.
Um, Im actually, Im an investigator.
And Im trying-- do you think that the suit
makes me look like Im on the staff?
Cause, obviously, thats not something
that I want to-- youre right.
Lets-lets stay on task. Um...
(chuckles)
Man.
You dont understand Klingon, do you?
She probably doesnt but I know a few key phrases.
(speaks Egyptian, chuckles)
Okay. What-Whatever that was was not Klingon.
Well, youre quite the detective, arent you?
Yeah, kind of.
Well, youre quite the detective, arent you?
Yeah, kind of.
Well, Im sort of like, um, Bill Nye the Science Guy.
You know? But armed.
Bow tie would really bring that look home.
Yes. Yeah.
Sebastian...
Hmm? ...is my name.
My name is Sebastian. Thats me. Hi.
Im your saving grace, Carmen Delahoy,
diplomatic translator,
United Nations Trade Association.
That is an incredibly long title.
(laughs) Very impressive.
Um, do you mind, actually, can you ask her,
um, if shes seen this man
last night?
I-I wasnt done. (gasps)
This guy-- I knew it.
Hes CIA or something, isnt he?
What? No. Did-did you see him?
Yeah. Last night.
He was acting a bit dodgy.
It looked like he was following one of the diplomats.
I thought maybe it was like a-a covert meetup
or a dead drop or something.
I like spy movies.
No. Trust me, I-I love spy movies, but, um,
I think Im gonna need a little more information.
Am I a witness?
Where is he going?
Im afraid he has a speech to give
to 50 of the most important economists in the Middle East.
Your Arabic is excellent, by the way.
Oh, shukraan.
Its a beautiful language.
Is there anything I can help you with?
In fact, there is one more member of your delegation
I do need to speak with.
Mikael Basara?
Bank executive.
Mikael was at the mixer last night,
but I havent seen him since.
Maybe too many music clubs?
(chuckles)
The city is seductive. Mm-hmm.
New Orleans, after all.
(whispering): Nobody will admit
they knew or saw Commander Morrison.
Isnt the whole point of diplomatic relations
to communicate? There is one missing UAE member.
Mikael Basara.
Get the feeling hes our answer,
especially since his delegation claims
they dont know where he is.
"Claims"? Mm-hmm.
Well, I may not speak Arabic or Russian,
but I do speak people.
I got a hot lead.
HANNAH: Oh, whos that?
Its Carmen.
Does this hot lead have a last name?
What?
Uh, yeah, yeah.
Delahoy. Carmen Delahoy.
Hmm, and what did this Carmen Delahoy see?
I have no idea. She got pulled back into work,
but were gonna meet here later for drinks.
Oh. Is this a witness interview or a date?
Its an interview. Its definitely an interview.
Why? Do you think shes vibing me?
Well, I dont care how we get our answers,
as long as we get them.
Sebastian, go have those drinks. Okay.
We will focus on Mikael Basara.
Bye. Bye.
Mikael Basara checked into the hotel two nights ago.
He went to every conference event
until 19 hours ago
when he slipped off the face of the earth.
Not a coincidence.
when he slipped off the face of the earth.
Not a coincidence.
Hes got to be involved in Morrisons murder.
Yeah, why would a foreign bank executive
kill a Navy diplomat?
Because Morrison was more than just a diplomat.
You get read in on some sort of secret file on our commander?
The opposite. I was completely stonewalled.
I was assured Morrison was there as an observer.
An observer no one knows or saw.
Yeah, which is why Im gonna
call in some favors from my contacts at CIA, DIA...
PRIDE: Save those favors for another case.
Morrisons murder didnt add up to me either,
so I made a few of my own phone calls, got some answers.
New job comes with perks.
Not trying to overstep.
No. Well take all the help we can get.
Okay. Good.
So...
Im sorry. Im sorry.
No. Im sorry. No.
HANNAH: No.
PRIDE: Its...
Please.
Commander Morrison was not a diplomat.
He was a covert naval intelligence officer
on assignment.
What kind of assignment would bring him to New Orleans?
The Khalifa Brief.
Stuff dreams are made of.
Whats the Khalifa Brief?
PRIDE: A document outlining
a massive international
money-laundering scheme.
HANNAH: Rebels, warlords,
arms dealers, all running blood money into one Dubai bank.
Its like the yellow pages of the worlds most wanted.
Morrison was sent here to make contact with a source
trying to sell the brief.
Im guessing Mikael Basara.
Deal couldve gone south.
Basara kills Morrison and escapes in the night.
Right theory, wrong suspect.
Ive been looking through video footage
from last nights crime scene.
Take a look at what I found.
HANNAH: Black hoodie.
Trailing Morrison.
And he follows Morrison, takes all his stuff.
Got to be our guy.
PATTON: Our gal, actually.
Ive been running facial recognition.
HANNAH: That wont be necessary.
We know who she is and where she is.
♪ Whisper through my window...
Carmen.
Hey.
Sorry, uh, didnt have any time to change.
I think youre dressed to kill.
♪ Please...
(phone buzzing)
So, wait, you just bought a house...
Mm-hmm. ...by yourself, waived inspections.
Yeah, you know, when you say it like that,
sounds like a terrible idea.
No, I was gonna say it sounds
like a very mature idea.
Can barely keep track of my flat keys.
Oh, my God, right?
Thats why I got one of these.
(phone buzzes)
This is a, um...
Is that Gigantosaur?
I-I was gonna say its a-a keychain tracker
to help you locate your keys, but yeah, you know Gigantosaur?
The greatest
Godzilla
rip-off the world has ever seen.
The greatest
Godzilla
rip-off the world has ever seen.
Are you kidding?
(roars) (gasps) I cant... yeah.
I cant believe that youve seen it.
(phone buzzes)
I thought I was, like,
(phone buzzes)
I thought I was, like,
the only one. Um...
Should probably just bring this back to the case.
Um, Commander Morrison?
Yeah, I, uh, saw him last night.
He wasnt mingling.
He seemed a bit off. Huh.
Thats probably why I thought he was a spy.
Oh. (chuckles) Oh.
Then I mightve gotten a bit carried away.
How-how so?
I took a video of him
speaking to some guy.
Weird, right?
Thats super weird. Yes.
Weird, right?
Thats super weird. Yes.
(laughs)
But, honestly, it could be
incredibly helpful. Can I see the video?
Totally. Its on my phone.
Oh, great.
Totally. Its on my phone.
Oh, great.
(phone buzzing)
Oh, except I left that in the room.
Oh. (chuckles)
Uh, thats... okay.
Im sorry. I should, I should really take this.
Sure.
GREGORIO: You two look like youre going to prom.
Nine oclock, act natural.
♪ Get close to me with his eyes... ♪
Hey, Mom.
Kind of in the middle of something right now.
Listen, youre not the only one
shes working.
Shes after the Khalifa Brief.
What in the hell is the K...
Shh! You dont need to know
what that is right now. All you need to know is
Morrison was a spy.
Your girlfriend probably killed him
so he couldnt get documents
that would essentially bust every bad guy
in the world.
Thats wonderful to hear, Mom.
in the world.
Thats wonderful to hear, Mom.
Call me "Mom" one more time, Im gonna put my foot...
Im... would you give me a second?
And Im going to, um, Im gonna get the check.
Yeah, sure. Real quick. Okay. Thanks.
(clears throat) Yeah, tell all the cousins that I miss them.
Lets talk soon, okay? Kisses.
Check.
Shes got video of Morrison up in her room.
Like a stranger has candy in his car.
I got to check it out.
My gut tells me that
something more is going on.
Your gut also told you
to wear a suit and buy a house.
Maybe its indigestion.
Gregorio, if someone reached out to you with information
about a murder, wouldnt you follow it?
If that somebody was the murderer,
Id think twice, Sebastian.
All right, well, we both agree
that we need more info,
and our best option is for me to go up to that room.
Maybe.
But I dont like it.
Hey.
You get yourself killed, leave me the house, all right?
(chuckles)
(clears throat)
So, ready to go check out that video?
Thought youd never ask.
Carmen knows Sebastians NCIS.
What if shes luring him out to tie up loose ends?
Yeah, except I dont think that Sebastians what shes after.
If Carmen had gotten the Khalifa Brief off Morrisons body,
shed be long gone, but shes still here.
Yeah, shes probably fishing.
Thinks Sebastian can help her find it.
HANNAH: We keep Sebastian in play.
Stay on Carmens hip
HANNAH: We keep Sebastian in play.
Stay on Carmens hip
so she cant get the brief before us.
We need Morrisons source. We find Basara,
we get the Khalifa Brief first.
PRIDE: Yes.
No. No, thanks. I appreciate it.
FBIs got nothing on Basara.
Diplomatic status makes finding him
a whole lot more complicated.
Okay, time for some bright ideas.
Yeah.
Whats the first thing youd do, stuck in a foreign country,
scared for your life?
Call home.
Exactly.
Yeah, but you said the FBI...
Guess well find out how much pull this new job really has.
SEBASTIAN: So, uh, the video...
...its on your phone?
Yes. Sit.
Wine?
Oh. Thanks.
Cheers to your new house.
GREGORIO: No, no, no, dont drink that, Sebastian.
It could be poison.
Oh, here, let me show you. Mm.
CARMEN: Pardon, sorry.
SEBASTIAN: Oh, its okay.
CARMEN: Pardon, sorry.
SEBASTIAN: Oh, its okay.
(both chuckle)
Oh, wait a minute, what?
She kind of looks like
Dorothy Zbornak.
Dogothy Zbornak, actually.
Its my dog.
Are you serious right now?
Im a huge
Golden Girls fan. Obviously, yeah.
(both chuckle)
Well, we just hit all the marks, dont we?
GREGORIO: Video, anyone?
So, the, uh, the video.
Right. Yes.
(clears throat)
SEBASTIAN: Okay.
So Morrison left the hotel with some other guy.
Separate cabs.
They were talking about something.
Did you hear anything? No.
Really? You were only, like, six feet away.
No, no. Dont push her too hard.
I mean, you know, if you happened to catch
a phrase or two.
You know what I think?
a phrase or two.
You know what I think?
I think I need to get out of this dress
and change into something more comfortable.
Thats gonna go well.
You better be careful, Sebastian.
(sighs)
(door closes)
Tell me youre not doing what it looks like youre doing.
Running an international trace for a surveillance operation.
On a foreign banking executive
with diplomatic immunity.
Exactly what I didnt want you to tell me.
This is highly unusual.
Mikael Basara is a person of interest in a homicide
who may have valuable intel. We need to find him.
Yes, of course, by using the proper channels,
filing requests through the State Department.
I have.
That takes weeks to approve.
We dont have weeks.
If the UAE finds out what youre doing,
it could cause an international incident.
And Im prepared to take responsibility if that happens.
AGENT: Sir.
I have a secure trace.
I know you have a unique way of running a team,
but this is more than a team.
Its the...
Its the entire southeast region,
youve made that abundantly clear.
But for the moment,
I am the special agent in charge.
So if youll excuse me...
Where was Basara
located when he made that call?
AGENT: In New Orleans, sir.
French Quarter.
Hes still in the hotel.
GREGORIO: Sebastian, listen to me.
Do not let Carmen leave that room.
Do you hear me? I think Pride found
her next target.
(sighs) What do you mean?
her next target.
(sighs) What do you mean?
Morrisons intercepting
high value intel from a source, Mikael Basara.
Hes in the penthouse right now.
Whatever you do, keep Carmen where she is.
Im on my way to secure Basara.
Okay, I wont let her out of my sight.
Hey, wait!
(alarm blaring)
God, no.
Sebastian, the elevator stopped and I cant get out.
You need to take Carmen down and get Basara.
SEBASTIAN: No, she locked me in. I cant get out.
Find a way out, Sebastian!
Its okay, I got an idea.
Im gonna scale the balcony. get to the next floor.
Youre gonna do what?!
I totally got this. What could go wrong?
No!
Okay.
(screaming)
(crash)
(car alarm blaring)
Searched every inch of the hotel.
No sign of Carmen.
She somehow beat us to Basara,
threw him off a balcony, and slipped away,
avoiding every security camera.
Got to assume with the Khalifa Brief.
Howd she even know where Basara was?
Patton says she cloned your phone.
Heard every word you and Gregorio were saying.
Which is why she invited me up to her room in the first place.
Man, she played me.
LASALLE: Botched phone trace, dead diplomat,
intel out in the open.
Kings gonna take a big hit on this.
Yeah. (phone ringing)
Its Hannah.
Im gonna fill her in.
Sebastian. No, I know, you tried to warn me.
Nah, baby, this isnt an "I told you so."
Drink your tea. Come on.
Better?
Oh, its still too hot.
Whats going on?
The suit, the house, the gut calls.
Whats up?
I dont know.
I just want to live up to my potential, you know?
Lifes short.
One minute youre collecting rare action figures,
and the next...
I see. Its Pride.
He nearly dies. It was a wake-up call for us all.
Except Im the only one who bought real estate
and got fooled by a smart, quirky,
incredibly attractive assassin.
Yeah, well, happens to the best of us.
(chuckles)
Go home.
Ditch the suit, get some rest, clear your head.
We wont let Carmen get away, promise.
PRIDE: Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.
Yes, sir, I understand.
Yeah.
I will get...
(winces)
I will get back to you as soon as I know more.
Thank you.
You all right?
Yesterday was not my best first day.
Just heard today might be my last.
I meant your breathing.
In through the nose, out through the mouth.
Deep breathing exercises can help.
(sighs) Hows Sebastian?
He blames himself for putting you in this spot.
Oh, I put myself in this spot.
No.
Oh, I put myself in this spot.
No.
Sebastians in the clear.
HQ just wants my head on a platter, not his.
Yeah, well, bigger job, bigger challenges, huh?
I messed up.
I made a judgment call, got it wrong.
The case isnt over yet.
Okay, your team is working hard to find Carmen.
Your team now.
(sighs)
Patton thinks he can reverse the clone
she placed on Sebastians phone.
Were gonna find her and the Khalifa Brief.
Oh, I appreciate the support.
But Im not sure its gonna be enough to smooth the waves.
End of day, all D.C. cares about are results.
You deliver the Khalifa Brief,
all is forgiven.
(phone chimes)
Patton found Carmen.
Its not good.
CARMEN: Nice sweats.
Dont.
(both grunt)
Can we just...?
(both grunting)
Sorry it has to go this way.
(siren wailing)
She so much as touches him, I swear Im gonna kill her.
You played me.
You killed Morrison. You killed Basara.
Now youre under arrest.
Oh, shut up already.
Now, listen very carefully to what Im about to say.
Thats the house.
(tires screeching)
Guys.
Guys, its okay, dont shoot.
Shes British intelligence.
Shes on our side.
A little overkill, dont you think?
Special Agent Lund might believe your story about MI6,
but Im not convinced.
British intelligence claims no knowledge of you.
Well, thats why they call it Her Majestys
Secret
Service.
Our allied intelligence agencies dont usually make a habit
of killing American naval officers.
I didnt kill Morrison.
I was shadowing him. Actually, I tried
to save his life, but...
his killer got away.
Your mission was the Khalifa Brief.
Morrison didnt have it, so you insinuated yourself
with Special Agent Lund.
Sounds quite cold when you put it like that.
HANNAH: How would you put seducing
an NCIS agent in order to steal intel
and kill Mikael Basara?
Not that youll believe me, but I dont
have
the Khalifa Brief,
Not that youll believe me, but I dont
have
the Khalifa Brief,
and I didnt kill Basara either.
You were trying to save him, too?
Well, youre not very good at it, are you?
CARMEN: I want to see you do better,
running up three flights of stairs in a cocktail dress.
Forced eye contact, modulated breath.
Shes like an Olympic-level liar.
I believe her.
He was beating on your guy-- Basara.
She used you.
Technically, yeah, but she also turned herself in.
Its got to count for something.
Sebastian... dont.
Okay? Shes a spy. Shes a professional manipulator.
Says the woman who fell for a manipulative spy... twice.
Were not talking about me.
HANNAH: Tapped into phones, didnt you?
Yes, I cloned Sebastians phone for intel.
Yes, I went up to the room Basara was hiding in,
but I was too late.
Because a masked man
but I was too late.
Because a masked man
was already there, fighting with Basara
and throwing him off the edge of a balcony?
I tried to stop him from escaping.
But he conveniently got away again.
We are wasting time.
The only reason I allowed Sebastian
to bring me in is so that we could work together.
HANNAH: I see.
Your true suspect is out there
and still has the Khalifa Brief.
We could bring him and the brief in together.
And why would we do that?
Because I possess treasure.
I found it in Basaras room.
My guess-- its the key to the Khalifa Brief.
Youre not seriously buying this?
This is a very advanced,
highly-encrypted electronic key.
The kind commonly used for top secret diplomatic pouches.
SEBASTIAN: If Basara hid the Khalifa Brief in a pouch
and this key opens it,
we can use it to lure out Morrisons killer.
GREGORIO: What if Carmen
is
that killer
and shes playing us again? Which is likely.
But her story makes sense, though.
Basara snuck the brief out of the UAE,
in a pouch, to the States,
waiting to retrieve it so he could turn it over to Morrison.
HANNAH: She claims the pouch is stored
at the UAE consulate for safe keeping.
And if thats true, then Morrison and Basaras killer
is gonna go there looking for it.
We need to be there to catch him.
GREGORIO: So you want to sneak into the UAE embassy,
where we have no jurisdiction, to steal sensitive intelligence
out of a pouch were legally forbidden to touch?
HANNAH: With the help of a spy
we have no business trusting.
Anyone got a better idea?
Okay, lets just say we do this, right?
How do we gain access in the first place?
SEBASTIAN: Consulates throwing a big ball later today.
Carmens got an invite. I can be her plus one.
What about the rest of us?
HANNAH: I got a friend at State.
Its a long story, but kind of owes me his life.
Ill make a call.
(piano playing)
I want to thank you for keeping your trust in me, Sebastian.
Oh, I dont trust you more than I can throw you,
which, based off our fight earlier, we both know
is not very far.
So why am I here?
Pretty sure youre not the murder suspect.
I checked the bruising pattern around Basaras body.
Unless you secretly have man hands, you didnt do it.
I appreciate you going the extra mile for me.
Lets just finish the case.
PRIDE: All right, Sebastian.
You and Carmen need to head up to the second floor now.
(over comm): Brief will be secured there.
HANNAH: Keep your eyes open.
The killer will recognize Carmen.
Probably already on your tail.
Patton, any luck tracking suspects?
PATTON: Uh, nothing so far, Pride, but Im all over it.
Im scanning the guest list,
cross-referencing anybody with combat background,
six feet or taller.
Its gonna take a minute.
SEBASTIAN: The sooner you know,
the better chance we have of not being beaten to death.
PATTON: Dont sweat it.
I got your six.
Sebastian, when you find Basaras diplomatic pouch,
you cannot legally open it.
Carmen is a foreign national.
Shell need to do it.
That way, NCIS is in the clear.
So long as she actually hands the intel over.
And, Sebastian,
inside the consulate is sovereign soil.
Youve got to draw Morrisons killer outside
to make the arrest.
PRIDE: And remember,
the most important part of this operation.
Stay alive?
Stay quiet.
Diplomats only, upstairs.
Play it cool.
PRIDE: Well, were gonna need a distraction.
HANNAH: No problem.
HANNAH: Hmm?
Oh...
(quietly): Lets go.
(laughs softly)
(door opens)
(indistinct chatter)
Kiss me.
What? I dont think I can...
(clears throat)
Its cool, theyre gone.
Yeah, its cool.
Uh, courier room should be down this way.
Well slip in, grab the pouch, and get out.
Here they are.
SEBASTIAN (sighs): Okay...
Guys, its gonna take us a little longer
to find what were looking for.
PATTON: Heads up, guys. Results just in.
I think I found our suspect.
Aram Nader, former UAE Special Forces,
trained in close combat, running for office in the UAE.
I questioned him yesterday.
If hes mentioned in the Khalifa Brief,
hes gonna go from diplomat to death row.
End of a political career and more.
(man speaks Arabic)
PRIDE: Sebastian, theyre on the move.
Excuse me.
Ah...
Not the first time I hear the name Pride.
SEBASTIAN: You know, Id really love
to be gone by the time the expert killer gets here.
Yeah, working on it.
Youre the man who got Mikael Basara killed.
Its slightly more complicated than that.
You authorized an international phone trace.
Now he is dead.
Am I missing nuance?
I can explain.
By all means.
Got it.
Thats it? Thats the Khalifa Brief?
Thats the thing thats gonna bring down dozens
of international criminal organizations?
What were you expecting?
Something more, uh, 007-y.
Deals a deal.
Hurry up. We got to get out of here.
Fine.
Hurry up. We got to get out of here.
Fine.
This is a restricted area.
And youre in violation of international law.
(speaks Arabic)
Okay, Im gonna hold em off while...
(grunting)
(guests clamoring)
So much for quiet.
Go!
Ambassador Hariri, you need to leave now.
Is this your doing?
I can explain it all later.
Sebastian, where are you?
In trouble.
Whats going on, Sebastian?
Im a little tied up right now.
Give me the drive.
Youre gonna have to come and take it.
As you wish.
(grunting)
GREGORIO: Sebastian? Sebastian.
Im going in.
No, hey. We cant.
Badges dont mean anything in there.
We go in there, all hells gonna break lose.
What do you call this?
(panting)
LASALLE: Sebastian? Can you hear me?
You got to bring Nader to us.
Yeah, thats easier said than...
(both yelling)
NADER: Dont make me lose my patience.
(both grunting)
Give me the drive.
Give me the drive and Ill let you live.
You make a good point.
(quietly): Guys, Im coming in hot.
LASALLE: Whats that mean?
Here you go.
Federal agents!
Hands in the air!
Get em up!
(panting)
(groaning)
You cant arrest me.
Diplomatic immunity.
PRIDE: Last time I checked,
New Orleans was still on U.S. soil.
Here, all we need
is Ambassador Hariris personal approval.
HANNAH: And considering that youve murdered two men,
including your own associates,
I think hell cooperate.
Youre correct, Special Agent Khoury.
His immunitys revoked.
Cuff him.
GREGORIO: Easy, baby.
SEBASTIAN: Yeah, yeah.
GREGORIO: Easy, baby.
SEBASTIAN: Yeah, yeah.
You know, Im fine, Im fine. We got to find Carmen.
Where is she?
HANNAH: Im afraid shes gone, Sebastian.
We lost her in the chaos.
Im sorry.
(panting): All right, well,
at least we got the Khalifa Brief.
(sirens wailing)
We absolutely do not have the Khalifa Brief.
Ive scrubbed this drive up, down and sideways.
No secret bank files.
Are you sure, Patton?
No secret bank files.
Are you sure, Patton?
All we have is hundreds of photos of a dog in a sweater.
Oh.
Did you tell Sebastian yet?
Yeah, he was with me when I opened the file.
All he said was "Dogothy Zbornak,"
and he had someplace to be.
(phone ringing)
Sebastian?
SEBASTIAN: You got an untraceable phone.
Not surprised that I got your number?
I know youre good at what you do.
Well, so are you.
Specifically uh, lying,
deceiving-- what else-- double-crossing.
Im sorry. I am.
I didnt want it to go this way.
I really do like you.
But my mission was the brief.
Oh, its cool, you know, I get it.
Alls fair in love and espionage.
Under different circumstances...
I guess what Im saying is maybe
we will meet again.
Yeah, well, why wait?
(laughs): How did you...?
The old Gigantosaur key chain tracker.
(laughs softly)
Slipped it in your bag
before we went to the consulate, just because of all the, uh,
lying and deceiving
and the double-crossing.
Double-crossing.
Yeah. Yeah.
Well, I guess the balls in your court now, Sebastian.
Whats the move?
THOMPSON: Naval intelligence is reviewing
the Khalifa Brief as we speak.
Intel as valuable as advertised?
D.C. is very pleased.
And I have to admit, Im impressed.
You managed to turn utter catastrophe into total victory.
Oh, I cant take credit, Thompson.
Special Agent Khourys team did the heavy lifting,
especially Agent Lund.
Though he did let that British agent slip away.
Well, lets just call that a diplomatic compromise.
Well, whatever you call it, looks like you made it
to a third day on the job.
(chuckles)
to a third day on the job.
(chuckles)
Morning, boss.
Morning, Ginny.
Lets just see if I can survive to day four.
(sighs)
