Previously on NCIS Los Angeles.
It's an agent needs assistance alert.
It's coming from Dom's fine.
Dom is missing, not dead.
Do whatever you have to do to find him.
I gave Mo a new life.
Everything he said to me is a lie.
Goodbye son.
Mo.
Mo!
Oh! Oh, my God!
Come on! MC!
Oh, God, I'm gonna kill you!
Oh!
Give me Garbato!
Oh, God!
Hello.
Sam.
Quick work of any of your small household garbage is where you're drilling your drywall.
Work range, manhole, storage range.
Just about anything.
I know you're sick.
All that stuff.
Yeah.
Kenty, we got something.
How fast can you be here?
Can you translate this?
This should be translated.
I'm going to translate this.
Callan.
Hey, G. We got a lead.
You got to get in here right away.
A video just came in.
When?
What do we know?
Disappeared on a known jihadist website less than an hour ago.
The evil empire of the West hides behind its false words of peace
in its United Nations.
They're a war machine designed solely to deny Islam
and destroy the Muslim world.
If you do not release our falsely accused brother,
Alaa Dean-Keshwar, within 24 hours,
this man shall be executed.
Oh, my God.
Dawn.
Eric?
It looks like he was uploaded at an internet cafe in Rabat, Morocco.
Strip the hell out of that footage.
I went full audio and visual forensics.
Voice analysis in the works.
Identify what's in the room, what's on their clothes.
Background noise is anything.
Send copies to FBI and NSA.
Anyone who can help.
Kenzie, find out who these people are.
Where do they operate?
Where are they getting their funding?
Nate, put together whatever you can about this.
Alaa, Dean-Keshwar, and keep Director Vance in the loop.
Got it.
What about Dom's parents?
What about them?
Shouldn't we contact them?
To tell them what?
Your son's not dead, but he's about to be executed?
At the very least, they could be praying.
They need to know the truth.
I'll have Nate speak with them.
Hopefully, by the time we talk to Dom's parents,
it will be to tell them what they've been found safe and sound.
We need to secure a transport.
We can put together our basic outfit and gear
once we're on the ground overseas.
Overseas where?
We don't even know where they took him.
Not yet, but as long as we wheels up,
we can land anywhere in the Middle East or North Africa.
As soon as we find out who the hell this Alaa,
Dean guy is, who's got him and where he's being held.
All right, and what happens if we're halfway over the Atlantic?
And we discover that he's being held in the Philippines
or Indonesia.
He had him over too much.
But he looks strong.
You look like he was hanging in there, right?
All this time, we still don't know who grabbed him,
why they grabbed him,
or what they hoped to get out of a brand new agent.
Maybe he was a hostage of opportunity.
They brought in Colombians to snatch him.
They hired pros.
You think someone's trying to get to us?
They have done.
They already have.
All you're giving me is excuses
and I don't have time for it, Dick.
Monty, you owe me and you know it.
Just man up.
Excuse me, General.
No, the man.
A trotar, metnon.
All right, listen up, you flaccid bureaucratic eunuchs.
I want full cooperation from each of your agencies
and unrestricted access to Tunisian airspace.
Oh, by God, my next call is to fried cop
and I will outsource this whole damn operation.
Feel better?
Something tells me you've done this before.
Where are we?
We are playing catch up in the dark with a ticking clock.
Well, I may know someone who can help.
So what are we waiting for?
Well, I'm certain he can help.
I'm just not certain that he'll want to.
But he owes me a favor or ten.
Well, maybe if you ask him nicely.
Seemed to work with the other gentlemen on the phone.
I doubt that any of them are gentle
and they're certainly not men.
So who's this contact?
What do you mean she didn't give you a name?
What agency is he with?
She didn't say.
We're wasting time.
This guy could be with animal control for all I care.
I trust Hedy.
How is the Duchess of Deception?
She's well.
How do you know?
She held me out of a jam here and there, back in the day.
You know what we're up against?
Not really.
Aladdin is a brand new player.
Nobody's even got a positive idea on this guy.
Who's he work for?
We believe his group is called Taj,
to leave Al-Jahadiya.
And they are working very hard to make a name for themselves.
Now there were reports he was killed
after a bombing in Pakistan.
Taj denied it.
But the latest rumor is he's been captured
by one of our own agencies.
Nobody's copping to him.
Do you know who has him?
Defense Intelligence, Special Activities Division,
National Clandestine Service, take your pick.
Whoever's got him ain't sharing.
How come we haven't heard any of this?
Nobody has.
My guess is whoever's got him
is keeping his capture a secret,
hoping to smoke out the rest of his group.
Because the guys with the biggest trophies
get the most funding.
Do you have any idea who he is?
No.
This is all I've got on the Taj terrorists.
They're thought to have training camps set up
in Sudan, Eritrea, possibly even Somalia.
But nothing's been confirmed yet.
I'm sorry about your man.
No one deserves to go out like that.
He's not dead yet.
Good luck.
Oh, and tell Hattie they still had her picture up in that house.
And tell Hattie they still had her picture up in that bar
in Balika, Cruza.
She'll get a kick out of that.
No.
Can you stop hovering?
I'm just trying to help.
Well, you aren't. It's a computer.
It only takes one person to work it. Apparently not.
Guys, I haven't been able to find anything
about that character.
Either can Eric.
Or you. Pointing fingers is not going to help.
Well, maybe this will.
What is it?
Information on suspected Taj terrorists.
See if you can dig out.
Where did you get it?
Didn't tell you if I wanted to.
Okay, we've got video, no audio.
We haven't been able to find anything. I mean, nothing.
A la Adina must be an alias.
How much time do we have?
Twenty hours the most.
We may be able to reset the deadline
if we can give the terrorists some indication
they're making progress with their demands.
Eric, stop the video.
Zoom in.
Is that your friend Mo?
Yeah.
Okay, thank you.
Most forced to parents haven't heard back from Mo
since he fled back to Africa,
which is the same night that Don was abducted.
Safar Jadala recruited Mo and the other boys
from the Ethiopian youth center to become jihadis.
He's got to know something.
No, he's in Guantanamo Bay.
Take at least eight hours to get him here.
It's better to question him there.
Okay, I'll give him a heads up.
Mo's father was Janjaweed.
Sudanese government hired him to fight the rebels.
Only problem was they were worse.
Hence the nickname.
Devil's on horseback with guns.
I killed Mo's father saving some aid workers.
Maybe this is a payback.
If Mo was part of Aladdin's group and they have Dom,
it's a good chance Dom is in Sudan.
There's also a good chance he's being held in Chad
or Libya or Somalia.
If we can't track Mo's movements after he arrived in Chad,
we have no idea where he could be.
If we take a plane to Mama Bay, Kenya,
we'd be within striking distance.
We are better working the case from here
using our time and resources to find Dom.
We should be there. We owe it to Dom.
Let's just find him first, okay?
Having Mo involved, that was our first big break.
At least we have a place to start.
The youth center.
May I help you?
Federal agents from the Naval Criminal Investigative Service.
This is a foreign intelligence surveillance act warrant.
But you have already searched it before.
Two months ago, Safar Jadala has already been arrested.
Yeah, well, this time we're interested in a terrorist organization
known as the Tlaib Al-Jihadiah.
Sir, Callan, we've got a runner.
Federal agents!
Stop!
No, no, no, no!
Give me the gun!
Stay still!
Give me the gun!
Where'd he go, flipper?
Think he'll still be able to get something off it?
Sure as hell hope so.
Okay.
I didn't order any room service.
Okay.
Where is he?
I don't even know who that is.
Mowad Dusa, goes by Mo.
Used to hang out at the youth center
till he went back to Sudan.
His name is Mowad.
He didn't tell anyone about that.
I don't know who that is.
I don't know what that is.
I don't know who that is.
Used to hang out at the youth center until he went back to Sudan to become a terrorist with the Talib Al-Jihadiya
If you say so
Yes, ma'am
Special Agent Dominic Vale he goes by Dom. He was kidnapped and is being held by Taj terrorists who are threatening to execute him
I don't know anything about that. Then why did you run at the youth center?
I was late for a class that way through your computer in the pool
It's left out of my hand and the knife you pulled on my partner. Oh, we're just trying to hand it over to him
He is smug
You know how I feel about smug
No, it's good means it thinks he's smarter than Cameron
So what's the verdict don't take your computer swimming?
Look to do this properly I should flush it with distilled water and dry it with a desiccant over several days
I don't care about properly. I care about quickly. There's information on that computer. We need now
I know but if I power this up and there's any moisture on the components
I could fry the motherboard and cause a lethal short to the CPU
But if we don't we waste valuable time this computer may hold the only chance we have our finding down in time to save him
Come on do it
Son of a bitch
You know I told you
Now what am I supposed to do fix it?
You help me I
May be able to help you if you don't it is out of my hands and you are on a one-way trip to Guantanamo Bay I
Promise you
Their idea of water sports
Does not involve a day at the beach you with threats
Do not frighten me
Do you know the difference between courage and stupidity?
Yari?
No
Do you know why terrorists target youth groups?
Because young people are impressionable
It's a lot easier to convince teenagers to be suicide bombers to become a martyr Shahid
Is to die for what you believe it
The old Ishtahad or is it a hard debate?
Okay, I got another one for you. Do you know the difference between suicide bombers and martyrs?
Trick question there is no difference
We pick up both their pieces in a sandwich bag
It's kind of hard to make out but
Thing that looks like a
bowl of fruit salad
Yeah, that's what's left of the skull of an 11-year-old boy
Who detonated a bomb that was strapped to his chest?
Wonder if the heavenly virgins dig the headless horseman luck
Look if you were to help this man
You can trade him for a lot of Dean. How much time are we gonna waste on this human detritus?
We don't negotiate with theirs. Well, that's too bad for your friend. I
Can only imagine the look in his face when they cut off his head
Sam Sam
And you will be an accessory to my Sam
Sam let him go
You want Shahad stop it
Sam listen to me. He is no good to his dead
It's no good to anyone for the wreck that you don't deserve to die by my hands
You
Messed up gee
He'll live
Thought bringing Moe here was the right thing to do it was
Think about where he'd be right now if you hadn't taken him out of the Sudan
He's dead. Yeah
Dom would be safe. The only one who thinks this is your fault is you
You want to blame yourself do it after we find Dom, okay?
Cuz right now I need your a game big guy
So does Dom
Think this guy you're always gonna talk might
Do you open to canna g hat on his ass?
Guys an armchair terrorist at best we made it pretty clear we're not messing around
Give me some good news Kenzie have a resignation letter from the former worker. What's her name?
Great, all right, send whatever you find in my phone
Kenzie found a resignation letter from a worker at the center woman by the name of Amina Shah quit because she
Disapproved of what was going on there like in this woman already. Oh, come on
Mine you know I despise your wardrobe
Particularly those flip-flops
Not to mention your surfboard meaning precariously close to my car the sand you track into the op center
Or the millions of dollars of top-secret technology you used to play your frivolous video games
I only left my surfboard in your car once
Twice I don't do it anymore what I tolerated all
For the most part and do you know why Mr. B my playful kitten like personality?
I don't know why I just said that
Make jokes when I'm nervous
Use humor as a defense mechanism. It's bad habit. I don't even know why I'm still talking I tolerated
Because you are unequaled at what you do. I am the way I am because I've manned the best
This is an elite unit whose unparalleled success
Rests on the superior skills of those who work here and that's why I know that if anyone can fix this
It is you
I'm trying I know I know and I'm sorry
I should have trusted your judgment earlier and because I pushed you I may have buggered everything
But I have complete faith in you, Mr. B
Do what you do
That's for good luck. Thanks
Yes, come on, baby
Come to papa
Thank you for coming and enjoy the rest of your visit
But good day. Bye. Bye. Thank you
Mina Shaw
Yes, special agent Callan. This is special agent Sam Hanna. We're from NCIS
I'd like to ask you some questions about your time spent working at the Ethiopian youth organization
No young Sudanese man from the center
Moa Dusa. No, I
Worked mainly in an administration capacity
Organizing schedules glasses your resignation letter cited concerns about some of what they were teaching
Ideological differences are not a crime. They often lead to terrorist activities. I should be getting back to work a man in this video
This federal agent. He is also a friend and he will be executed if we can't find him
I'm sorry, but I know nothing about me now
You have a degree in early childhood education clearly you care about young people
Something happened to that youth center that caused you to quit now
I think it's the same thing that caused several of these boys like Mo to disappear these same young men are
About to murder a federal agent and they will be terrorists
This is your chance to save a lot of lives
There was a man
Who started to teach religious studies?
That became more and more radical Safar Jidallah
Yes, yeah, we picked him up a while back who else
There was another man who started to come around after Safar got arrested
He was very angry that Safar was gone. I think he donated money to the center. His name was Khalil. I
Don't know his last name. I'm sorry. I must get back to work
Shukran Jesus
Yo, Eric Callan listen, I need everything you can find on a guy named Khalil he was connected with the youth center
I don't have a last name, but I believe he provided funding. Yeah, yeah, his name's in Yari's computer. You got it working
Yeah, here it is Khalil Abramson heavy hitter in commercial real estate single
Envious bank account
One outstanding parking ticket for an expired meter on Robertson
Oh
Khalil Abramson
Yes
Federal agents like to ask you some questions concerning your involvement with the Ethiopian youth organization
One of my pet projects. I'm very active in youth and environmental issues, but please have a seat join us
It's probably not a good idea considering your credit cards have been frozen along with the rest of your assets
I'm sorry. I don't understand. We will explain everything up to you come with us
I don't mean to be rude, but I'm in the middle of a business meeting. Then why'd you ask us to join?
I was being polite. Well, I'm not you're under arrest on charges of knowingly funding terrorist activities
Well, then I'm very glad that it may hear in the company of my attorneys
We're gonna need a new camera
Ah
Khalil Abramson was tipped off he was surrounded by a wall of lawyers before we even got to him
He's not gonna help us if it means implicating himself
He might if it mitigates charges of conspiracy terrorism and the murder of a federal agent. There's been no murder. Dom is not dead
Stop referring to him in the past tense. It was just a worst-case scenario for Abramson. Forget about worst-case scenarios
There's only one case scenario that's finding and rescuing Dom
More once told me fell safest with his friends at the youth center. Maybe he's still in touch with okay
If they were calling potential jihadists from the youth center, it makes sense
There's a sealed team on standby aboard the USS Cole
They're off the Horn of Africa as part of NATO's operation ocean shield
The minute we give them a location. They'll hit it hard
I've
Called in every favor I can think of I
Don't think I can go through this again. We're gonna find him Eddie. Do you really believe that? Yes
Because we're not gonna stop looking until we do I'm going to hold you to that
Extreme situations occasionally require extreme measures must come
But at the end of the day
One's methods are seldom questioned
When they bring about the necessary results
I can move it
Where'd you learn to speak English television?
What's your favorite shell
What's your name
Shouldn't have done that
Why?
You're just gonna kill me anyway. That's not certain my country does not negotiate with terrorists
So if you don't help me escape you'll be a murderer too
And I know you don't want my blood on your hands, how do you know that?
Because you're talking to me in English
You
Know this man. No, do you know this guy? No
One of you tipped off Khalil Abramson with only commitment
I
Want to know which one of you tipped off Khalil didn't even know who that is and I've never seen this guy before in my life
Tell him I don't know you do I know
I
Didn't know that guy and I didn't tip off Khalil. I swear to God
Who's got what that be, huh? What makes you think I believe in any of them?
You can't do this. I haven't done anything exactly what he said. Please I can help you
You don't know anything and unfortunately you just saw me kill a man
Wait, wait, wait, wait, I know about Moa Dosa and the other boys who left the center went to Chad
You know where they are. No, do you know where they're holding agent Vale? No, but I know who does
Khalil Abramson he paid to recruit the young man to become jihadist
He bought the plane tickets the training even paid the Colombians to kidnap the agent
He's the man behind all this. He knows where your friend is
Agent is here. You all right fine. Did you talk? Yeah, Khalil Abramson's behind all of this
What about his lawyers? It's gonna take more than lawyers to save him this time
Anything else from the Taj terrorists messages videos anything? Nothing. We've got less than 40 minutes until our 24 hour deadline
What else have you got on Abramson ever you get anything else off of your always computer money trails hard to follow
Khalil's been very careful
Also, he's been traveling a lot mostly in Europe
But on April 6th
He opts a plane from Athens to Cairo and he goes from Egypt to Khartoum in Sudan
Then he pops up in Asmara Eritrea
Stare for a couple days then goes to someplace called Berbera in Somalia before heading into Yemen
It's a terrorist talk group Sudan Eritrea and Somalia the same three countries thought to hold training camps for Talib al-Jihadiya
Dom's in one of those camps in Khalil Abramson knows which one
Eric, can you turn on Khalil's cell phone? Wait a head. Yeah
Unfortunately, I have been able to pick up any audio his phones at his house in Malibu
Doesn't move in several hours son of a bitch asleep and what Dom's about to be executed. I'm open to ideas guys
Think we're running out of time. What about?
Extraordinary rendition now Khalil Abramson attained his American citizenship six years ago citizenship could be revoked for acts of treason
Verily and only after a lengthy process
I've secured a fully crude fully fueled
C-130 at Edwards Air Force Base if you were to put Khalil Abramson on that plane
Under the guise of an unlawful enemy combatant which he is for all intents and purposes on his way to a black site for interrogation
I've heard rumors that Bond steel in Kosovo is particularly ugly
You're suggesting torture by proxy. No, of course not but if Khalil
Thinks that's what's happening. Well, I'm sure he'll start talking before you hit bar stove
None of which would hold up in court. This isn't about building a court case
This is about rescuing Dom whether you rescue Dom or not Khalil Abramson and his lawyers will come after us with a vengeance
And Abramson will walk because of it not to mention something like this could end the career of everyone in this room
Saving a fellow agent is more important than any career name
I'm with Sam you too
Someone once told me that extreme situations occasionally call for extreme measures
What the hell I really wanted to be a magician anyway
Far be it for me to sort your dreams of a career in prestidigitation this gets
But if anyone is going to take the fall for this it will be me. He's in motion. Khalil. He's moving. Let's do it
Do you know much time I have
Know
Wait, wait, I want to send a message to my parents. I can't tell you with that. I'm sorry
Eat your breakfast
Oh
He's turning on the Broadway
It's like he's stopping
I
Eric he's headed into the palace theater
It's kind of early for a matinee Khalil Abramson bought that theater a few years ago
Supposedly is turning into a center for the performing arts. Oh wonderful
The proceeds from tonight's performance of equest will be donated to help support your local Taliban
We need to keep an open lines in the USS Cole Eric the minute we get Khalil to tell us with Dom as they have to scramble
CLT copy that
We'd use a layout of this place will do got it
Oh
Eric we got shots fired sounds like it came from above see if I can find a camera
Oh
Kenzie
I found a couple of security cameras on the building next door. I'm trying to access them now
Oh
My god
I'm in the room where they were holding down. This is where they shot the video
Cal and he never left LA
I've got two camera feeds from the roof next door
Mo
Oh, wait a minute. Oh, I've got Dom. He's on the roof
