I
Walk her pull up on the bluff ahead
Oh
Nicely done Walker you hit every big rock for the last six miles seriously man
Who taught you how to drive same person that taught me about sex
Your mom hey stings explain to this fool what happens when someone brings my mama into the conversation
Hey stings, I saw something where what is it? What are you seeing?
Bingo got a bogey at 2 o'clock. Maybe 50 meters out
We got a runner. Hey stings Walker come up for the home beam and toy with me
Oh
Well
Deeks what are you doing coming off a little LAPD undercover field trip how about a ride? Oh
My god
Is that you what I method when I go under that's disgusting that's really disgusting listen
You can't be a convincing homeless person if you smell like you just stepped out of a spot
All right, so never watch these clothes that is keeping my fridge so they keep their authenticity. That's great
I wouldn't let you ride in my truck smell. No. No. No. No come on. Come on
Kenzie
Thanks partner
Really quarter
I'm all for going green reducing our footprint head he has her way. We're gonna be reusing our bullets
She just wants us to recover our brass if possible reusable water bottles paper towels paper cups. What's next to go, huh?
Saving a planet jeep
But don't come whining to me when she replaces our toilet paper with used post-its you hear me
Yeah
He's back and this time it's personal now
What do you think dr. Freud would say about this Sam obvious phallic obsession and anger towards his mother?
Just get a little practicing
There's anything to do with the assignment head. He sent you on was it everything we do eventually come back to heavy
Well, you've been and he won't tell us a thing
If you want to grab a beer later, I
Will tell you all about it. I
Gotta go check him right there
It's good seeing you guys
I was weird even for Nate
One thing's for certain someone's been giving them shooting lessons. I think there's something wrong with your hot water heater
The showers are on timers mr. Deeks you obviously exceeded the recommended duration
You might want to make an exception in his case
Really needs it for your information. I won the hygiene award in high school. What kind of school rewards you for bathing
I don't know man. A sparkly clean one. Ah
gentlemen
Eric
This just in all this footage was shot with helmet or dashboard mountain cameras four Marines were ambushed
One escaped three are still missing
This doesn't look like Afghanistan. It's not
It was recorded just after sunrise outside of San Diego on the California Mexican border
the Marines were assisting ice and
Customs and border patrol and securing the area now the fear is that the Marines either stumbled across or were specifically targeted
By one of the Mexican cartels that use the area to smuggle people guns drugs anyone claim responsibility
Not yet. You don't even have a definitive motive. I can think of a few payback leverage prisoner exchange
You said one of the Marines escaped that would be corporal Allen Reed Lance Corporal Edward Mintoia
Lance Corporal Shelley Hastings and PFC Liam Walker are still missing
Since we have ongoing cases and intimate knowledge of the cartels
Director Vance has asked us to get involved and help to the best of our abilities
Time is of the essence. Mr. Callan
Kenzie you and Deeks check out the crime scene see what you can find out Sam and I will question the Marine that escaped
We also hit our street contacts who have cartel connections see if we can find out who's behind this
Listen, can we hold on a second here guys? Here's the thing. I'm more of a seedy mouse
Yeah, so maybe we should send the former Navy seal out into the desert with Kenzie. Yeah, it'll be good experience for you
Deeks right, you know and I'm all for for good experiences
It's just that I don't know if you've noticed this or not
But I've kind of got this this ivory complexion kind of fair skin tend to tend to burn kind easily whereas you know Sam here
Well Sam
Well, I'm just saying that you know Sam is clearly better suited for a tropical climate
Duto
Well, I mean for starters you got the whole bald head thing going on
Which is which is awesome and it's got to be better for you know
Heat exchange. Um, I don't want to have to overstate the obvious here, but you are
African-American. Yeah, and
Africa is hot
I'm from Brooklyn, Huckleberry
Brooklyn
Right, and we're good. We will call you guys if we find anything
I just make is I know you are done. No region American one of these days. I'm gonna kill them
Maybe he grows on you. So does ringworm
Major Orly special agent Kenzie Bly NCIS. This is our LAPD liaison officer detective Marty Deeks. What are we looking at here?
Looks like an ambush. They were close when they hit them. Where's the Marine who survived Corporal Reed suffered some minor injuries
Nothing serious. He's patched up at the base hospital before heading to you for questioning
Fortunately, he doesn't remember much of anything the guy survived doesn't remember any you've been in a firefight detective one or two
Remember your first one
Major we got something
We got one about half a click
It's corporate mentally damn it
Now to you we bring the war
I
Got my men working a hundred yards swath with border patrol in both directions
My guess is the cartels gonna try to smuggle them into Mexico if they haven't already done so not so sure major
Found SUV tracks heading in the other direction. I'm pretty sure they're heading away from Mexico
Joe, excuse me
Did I just get blown off like Ronald McDonald at a pita convention
How certain are you about your tracks? I bet your life on it awesome looks like somebody was being dragged
Which seems to fit the scenario ready to go for a little ride?
On the bikes Deeks on the bikes didn't say
Eric check the archives of satellite images for the ambush area go back at least a month
Whoever did this has been planning it for some time have him check with the other agencies
See if anybody's picked up any chatter might relate to this. They've already been contacted call if you find anything
Corporal Reed has been given a clean bill of health. He's waiting for you at the boat shed with Nate. Yeah
We ran in the native the shooting range. He seemed kind of distant probably just jet lag
Yeah, we didn't realize that he had just gotten back from oh his assignment. Yes, which was where again exactly
He was in the People's Republic of none of your damn business
Is that where he learned how to shoot actually I gave him a few pointers
Apparently the people's Republic of none of your damn business can be a dangerous place
Oh
Why are we stopping ah
Lost the trail
We're lost. Oh relax Nancy. Oh, you know what I'm surprised. You got us this far and I just want to say nice job
But if we head back now we can be traffic
What listen we got a face of facts here
We only have so much gas and water and let's not forget. This is the friggin desert
We're not in the middle of Sahara and even if we were my dad taught me how to survive pretty much anywhere including the desert
Got him
They're heading west
See SUV riding low with a chunk out of the rear right tire. Wow nice work Tonto
Dad teach you a track to track shoot fix an engine play poker wire house basically anything you teach a son
All you didn't have a son just me so you guys were close then very best friends
What about you and your dad? Yeah?
Not so much. In fact, I'm pretty sure he hates me
Why would you say that because the last time I saw him. He said Marty. I hate you
Even people who love us say things in anger. They don't really mean uh-huh any fighters shotgun at me
Man, I hate Thanksgiving
Although that was six years ago the miserable bastard could be dead by now. I
Got a pee again. I hydrated for the desert, right all this bouncing around as hard my kidneys hurry up, okay?
Don't peek no
Oh
Okay, just a there's a rattlesnake is getting ready to pounce
Snakes don't pound stay strike. Uh-huh. This one look like a pouncer
Listen, I'm sorry about that. But when I was a little kid
My friend Daryl Dawkins bull constrictor tried to strangle me to death had his eighth grade birthday party
Daryls are the snakes
You think it's funny, but it's not funny
All right paramedics had to use the jaws of life to set me free made the front page of the Encino times
My mom still has a copy laminated in the front of her fridge
Deeks. Yeah
The flies open
I
Shouted for the figure to show himself, but he took up running
The next thing I know we're taking fire from all directions
I
Think the blast from the IED must have knocked me unconscious because I think I blacked out
When I came to the Humvee was destroyed and everybody was gone
Not everyone
Until it was found this morning
He's dead sir, I'm afraid so
Hastings and Walker
Are still missing did you find any of our attackers?
Not yet. I swear I got one with a headshot sir. I mean tell you was killed with a headshot
You think I did this did you?
Yes, sir I
Let them into the ambush. I was in charge that makes me responsible sir. They should have took me instead of Hastings
I know it's hard you have to find her her don't you mean them?
You're worried more about Hastings because she's a woman hell. No, sir
She's tougher than Walker smarter, too. I'd rather have her watch my six any day than one
Read
They're in trouble
Fella Marines your buddies
Anything you can tell us no matter how seemingly insignificant can't help us
Is there something else we should know about
He's things is pregnant
She just found out this morning. She didn't tell me until we were about to end our patrol
No one else in the unit even knows
Are you the father? No, sir
Meantoya was
Two Marines are missing one of whom was supposedly pregnant and the father of her unborn child is dead
You think he's lying. What's the more likely scenario a Mexican drug cartel ambushes four Marines
Killing one and kidnapping the other two or a love triangle between fellow Marines leads to murder where the bodies you could have buried him
Okay, if we did do this
Why wouldn't you shoot Hastings and Walker and say they died in the firefight?
Well not being able to find the bodies lends credence to the kidnapping story
Takes the suspicions off of Reed for being a lone survivor. I don't know. He seems genuinely traumatized
Like a guy who was in a firefight or a guy who just killed three fellow Marines
Kenzie find anything
No, in fact, I'm not even sure we're still going in the right direction you nothing yet
We're gonna go find our favorite snitch JJ see what he knows. Good luck with that. How's Deeks?
peasalot
Let us know if you find anything likewise
What's the difference between tar pit and quicksand? I don't know one's tar and the other one's sand
So how come you never hear about quicksand?
What are you talking about? It used to be everywhere Tarzan Gilligan
I mean even the six million dollar man used to get quite it sooner or later
Is this what you do at night where other people are sleeping you up thinking about quicksand
15 bucks
Don't run I
Clearly said don't run he did I think I broke my back
Possible you'd have to have a spine a Mexican drug cartel may have kidnapped some Marines along the border. What do you know about it?
I swear, I'm legit now mm-hmm bet these medical marijuana cards aren't
JJ I need a name
No
Okay
Throw him in the tar pit
You wouldn't do that. I wouldn't he might
In fact he would
Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay?
Got a name
Amelia Ortega nice try
Ortega and his bodyguard got blown up last week. That's right. And when he got killed everybody started scrambling to fill his spot
Only one guy's coming out on top
Taurus
Memo Taurus oh Sheki Taurus, of course memo Taurus
Didn't hear it from me I
Catch you selling anything on the street with star maps. I'm not even calling LAPD. I will run you over with my car
Understand. Yeah, get the hell out of here. Okay. Okay, man. Move it. Okay. I'm moving. I'm moving
The hell's memo Taurus doing kidnapping Marines
Maybe he's flexing his muscle showed all the cartels how badass he is
I wish there was another way to do this you and me both
I
Read your report on Corporal Reed. How's he doing? He's afraid for his fellow Marines
himself
I don't follow
Are there worse things in death for a Marine so he's questioning his actions I
Suppose we all must from time to time
People worry too much about making the wrong choices from what they should really worry about is not making any
You can at least try to be a little more subtle petty I'm a psychologist remember
Yes, I'm a good one at that
It's patronizing me part of your plan to
Deployed you think
You can't answer my question with a question
According to whose rules that's another question more a query for clarification. Don't you think?
That's still a question
Clearly you need more time
Yes
Yes, you need more time no
Yes, I want to go back
I
That's not a decision to be made likely
Have you told the others?
No, I appreciate it if you wouldn't say anything until I had a chance to speak with them myself
You
What are you doing need to activate a former alias? Oh, no
NLV NLV no longer viable
Terrell Ellis was compromised. I know I was too real Ellis remember I do remember
I also remember you were nearly killed before we got you out. My cover was never blown I
Spent seven months undercover working memo Torres while he was still a cartel underling
Now he's the man
That means he's the fastest route of finding those missing Marines
And the only one who can get the Torres right now is in this box the man in this box has a price on his head
Why don't you just arrest Torres? We don't have anything on him
We yank him in off the street and so we blow any chance of ever going back under in his organization
Plus memo hates cops of any kind he'll be lawyered up as soon as we bring him in and we may never find those missing Marines, Hedy. Oh
Mr. Callan, could you please talk some sense to your partner? I think that's ever worked
Admittedly putting Sam on the streets is Tyrell Ellis is not without risks
Memo Torres is behind this
Reactivating Tyrell Ellis is the only way to find him
It's only bad Hedy and you know I don't like it
You're gonna play this one cool, right? Yep
It's a safe word headlock
Really how do you use headlock in a sentence? I wasn't planning on using
Yo Eric, yeah, I'm sending some photos over to you. I need you to identify the players
They also check the cameras in the area. I don't know who's been coming out of here the last two months. You got it. G
I'm on it. Thanks
Oh
Tyrell Ellis
Rumors, you're the big boss now that a million will take you got him so blown up. I heard another rumor
Yeah, you ride that little deer now. He's somebody's girl up in China
You heard wrong about me. Don't surprise me with Tian. I'm just happy to hear he's in a steady relationship
How was it that you managed to vanish right before your boss got pinched? I'm good like that
Tyrell Ellis will survive a baby
I'm on my operation in Florida. I didn't hear that you wasn't supposed to should have stayed down there
survivor
I
Not here by choice
Miami makes LA look like a trailer park
Unfortunately, you and I got personal business the only business I got with you is deciding what I'm gonna bury you
Look, why don't you save the tough guy routine memo?
When you was dealing dime bags to school kids
I was putting members of my new crew in key positions with ice border patrol even the military
I was this close to establishing a safe and permanent trade corridor until you screwed it up by kidnapping a bunch of Marines
I don't know what the hell you're talking about
Eddie director Vance would appreciate an update
He'd appreciate an update or he asked for an update. Oh, mr. Cannon. Just tell me what the hell is going on
Sam's still talking to his former contact. Well the fact that I haven't heard anything on the police scanner
Indicates. He's still alive relax. We're all good. Eddie Sam knows he has to play this one extra cool
I here he comes. I'll call you right back mr. Callan
Now would that be considered a headlock don't even you and I have a very different idea of what playing a cool means
You
Oh
We should be coming to an old fire road you can follow the 79 and continue north and they can take the 78 and head into Arizona
Where they going I don't know but I helped the hell it's got air conditioning
I
Can't believe people do this for fun
You look rugged deeks
But make you for a four-star hotel camper. Yeah, my idea of roughing it is being at a pool without a cabana
But you think I look rugged. Yeah, like Malibu Ken. He's not anatomically correct either
Oh
Naval criminal what naval criminal investigative service
I'm not the Navy stupid so you got to let me go our mistake
Sit down stupid. I want my lawyer. I know my Miranda rights Miranda. Who's Miranda?
Sam you know you Miranda. I know I'm a Linda and accounting redhead freckles
Stop jerking me around. Oh, I'm not jerking you around you familiar with the Patriot Act. Of course, you're not here's the thing
What you did was not only murder attempted murder and kidnapping, but because it was against Marines on active duty
That's domestic terrorism
oops
Had to do anything. I'm a businessman
I saw rims. How are you making license plates? Hey guys
What about my phone call, what about my call?
Well, I think they found a memo shop as a couple of unregistered handguns and some cash no drugs no contraband
We got nothing except for the little incident where you tried to kill me not to mention how much he's over charging for rims
Eric's still sifting through the surveillance footage. These are all the usual suspects save for this one
Donald Wexling of Wexling Goring. He's a multi-million dollar textile manufacturer. The hell does he want with memo?
Maybe he's gonna spin us for the limo
He's got a nasty drug habit and Wexling is a patron of the arts
He sits on a number of boards his wife is heavily involved in the charities
Last thing is gonna one is a very public drug conviction
My bet is that if you meme on Wexling, they'll give a memo to keep this on the down low. Don't say down low
Soon as we have something solid on memo with twist them fan for on the Marines if Eric find anything you can on Wexling addresses bank accounts
Boxers are briefs
Eric I think we got something
There's our guy
Mr. Wexling
Federal agents like to ask you a few questions
What sort of questions questions about your relationship with Guillermo Torres?
You know he's a drug dealer with ties of the Mexican cartels, of course
You do if memo didn't have connections with the cartels, I wouldn't be dealing with them trust me
But I have textile manufacturing and administrative facilities in Mexico and I need to keep my people and my assets safe
You're paying them extortion. We call it foreign business dues, but yes
memo handles my protection funds which prevent my employees from being kidnapped and my factories from being burned to the ground
You realize when a man of your stature pays tours you're essentially sanctioning racketeering
Pay off money is the cost of doing business south of the border or anywhere else for that matter this country included
How our own government pays off foreign diplomats?
I'm sure the government will be interested in hearing about your relationship with memo Torres. You mean my Mexican security advisor
Gentlemen, I didn't build a multi-million dollar business by making stupid mistakes and if you and the other agencies weren't losing the drug war
I wouldn't have to pay off the damn cartels. So instead of hassling me. Maybe you too should be doing something worthwhile
If you'll excuse me. Oh, and if you have any other questions you can ask them through my attorney
Well nice enough guy
Yeah, Ken Deeks have found something about 35 miles from a Mexican border hatches through I'm gonna move in for a closer look
Kenzie
We got them they're both injured how many shooters Kenzie I see three I take them to the truck
Eric we got to get out of here. They're moving them out
Eric I need a lift out of here now. Yeah, I'm on it
Come on move it
Thompson get him out of here Evans with me
You
Can't this thing go any faster should have let you drive
The truck move
Oh, who are you NCIS you guys okay? Yeah, I'm okay someone's come come on move move move move
Come on get down there
Oh
Deeks
Oh
What kind of problem Thompson's down the hostages have escaped go find them make sure he's dead
Oh
I got jump from behind so it's open I couldn't go too far
Spread out find them
Oh
Do you miss me where have you been they killed my bike
Marine
Oh
Eric they got us pinned down copy that help us on the way
Are you doing marine? I'm fine, man. You need the doctor
What happened to mentor you and read read got away. I'm afraid mentor is dead. I'm really sorry
Any idea on how to get inside of here tanto thinking I'm thinking
I keep seeing the ending of butch Cassidy in the Sundance kid screw this I'm gonna light these bastards up
Tenant how much longer
They may not have ten minutes
What do you think they're waiting for
Oh
They have a grenade launcher what they have a grenade launcher that's so much worse than ending a butch in Sundance
That is UV might be our only chance, but if there's no keys in it we hot wire it
Oh, come on. Please don't tell me you can't hot wire a car. I'm a cop. All right. We stop people from doing that
What I'm sorry if my father didn't spend the weekends teaching me how to be Jason Bourne
All right, you know it. I'll draw their fire you make a run for the SUV
Raines you ready? Oh raw man
Oh
Okay, all right, sir
Can say I'm good Sam we're good
I'm good to case anybody cares
Well done, thank you, sir
These guys look like cartel members to you look like Merck's chick a last-number dial
Donald Wexling who's Donald Wexling he's the man that paid for all this
What's that
Why am I even here? It's a satellite phone with several save messages from you
Founded on one of your mercenaries that you hired to kidnap the Marines. I would like my attorney to be present
Just what?
You're gonna need a whole team. We've got proof you paid to have US Marines kidnapped and killed
So what was the plan mr. Wexling?
Suck the US military into a war with the Mexican drug cartel just to try and solve your business problems south of the border
We go into Afghanistan we go into Iraq to weed out terrorists
And yet we let them run rampant in our own backyard
Explain that to me
We're not political analysts mr. Wexling we just arrest the bad guys
Think that is everything
What's in the box junk mostly the coffee mug some books
Perhaps you should leave them with me. I can take care of it until you return
The others will be back soon
They still got some packing to do some things to square away in my apartment
So it's just not like I'm never gonna see them again, right?
This is my chance to make a real difference and do my part over there I
Just want to thank you
For all the opportunities you've given me
All the things you've taught me
You're an important part of this team and you always will be
Take care of yourself trust your instincts they brought you this far
Keep your wits sharp your heart open and your gun loaded
I will
Goodbye
Until the next time mr. Getz
You used to know this guy named Shaba he's got a food truck in Zonager Park across from the tomb of Abdulrahman Khan
The kebab suck but Shaba can get you just about anything you need
Just tell me your friend of Uruk Uruk
It sounded cool at the time
You
