No, is there
Didn't think so
You always need to drive you set your clocks 15 minutes fast you set my clocks 15 minutes fast
Everything is a competition you have to have separate checks at Starbucks
You make fun of guys that order non-fat latte. Do you have any idea how exhausting it is being your partner?
Do you have any idea how exhausting it is to hear you ramble on about the 2012 apocalypse earlier this morning not not the apocalypse
Okay, it's the galactic realignment geomagnetic reversal a time wave zero
All right, the kneebrew collision you may know it as back to 13 if you mean baked in 13
Bake to really baked to your Mayan accent is terrible
Yeah, that's right. And you know why I know that because astronomers were talking about it last night at the bar
Astronomers were at the bar that you go to mm-hmm the one that sells flavored condoms at the vending machine
Why is that so hard for you to believe?
Okay, yeah the bartender changed it to the Discovery Channel after the Lakers game, but it felt very real to me
Good morning. Okay, heady. Glad you showed up. It's very difficult to take anything that guy says seriously
Says the most serious person I've ever met in my entire life
Okay, Deeks is a nice guy and and Kenzie is a nice curl. All right. It's not it's not her. It's not him. It's
It's us
Well, I don't believe it's a problem. I'm hearing two people who are beginning to sound like partners
Hi Kalan and Sam are waiting for you guys in the op-center and is pronounced back to 13
Of course
So nice of you to join us. Sorry got held up. Deeks thinks the world's gonna end in 2012
Let me guess Jenkins theory on a Sagittarius a black hole as a matter of fact. Yes
He's mocking you he's not my
An MP from Camp Pendleton
Suspected Marines are working on something with some dirty cops. It's a CHP crew
They take bribes from criminals for armed escorts and smuggling. They call themselves the California Gold Taxi service
LAPD calls them an urban legend. Yeah, LAPD is wrong. They're real
Six months ago. We opened an undercover investigation Sam and I infiltrated the group going in as corrupt cops
We got inside, but we still have not been able to make a link between them and Pendleton then the ring leader turned up dead this morning
His name is Paul Bean. You left the CHP after surviving a motorcycle accident while on duty
Left him paralyzed from the waist down. He has a wife, but they maintain separate residences
She's not considered a suspect
Bean turned down a job
Apparently somebody wanted to make sure he didn't talk tight grouping low caliber. No exit wounds
Pros is a retired cop. You must add somebody in the field point man try point woman
Officer Jennifer Greer. She was Bean's partner until his accident. He'd find the jobs
She passed on the orders to the California Gold Taxi service cops
They might have had a fallen out if Greer didn't shoot Bean. She might know who did so this op just shifted gears
Something is about to go down. It may or may not involve Marines at Pendleton, but we need to figure out what it is and fast
Greer shift has come up so Sam and I are gonna hit CHP headquarters and grab her you two search her house done got it
You're giving me a look let's ride in these bikes means we don't get to talk like we normally go where's normally we ride in your car and spend the whole time talking about nothing
Calling our banter nothing not nothing, but wouldn't say that it qualifies as something banters the crux of our partnership G without it
We just be two guys with guns drifting from one case to the next there are two guys with guns drifting from one case to the next
Some people seek a higher meaning others play the hand they're dealt. When did the glass become half empty? No, is it ever have full?
That's better, but I still want my car back in these boots are killing me
Exley towel had you see Greer inside never clocked in guess he stuck pulling a double shift tell her I'm only accepting apologies in the form of
Berber and cigars
They're really the most serious person you've ever met it's a tie between you and this nun back at school used to whack my hand with a ruler
All right. Well, I'll have you know that I can be a very funny individual
According to whom people anyone I know now I'm sorry. What no things. I'm hilarious. Okay
It's forced entry one two three
Clear clear this looks like a shootout at the okay corral your instincts telling you anything
Multiple shooters blood trail
Come here comes why someone got hit about here and then they ran
Impossible to say how far they made it
If they made it
So was it Greer
Or somebody else
I
Analyze spending patterns for both Paul Bean and Jennifer Greer over the past 24 hours and tried to establish a timeline
Turns out Bean frequented a club in Hollywood called Bear elegance credit card charges show he was there last night
They're elegance must be a strip club bikini bar big difference
What do we know about Greer she's got four credit cards all maxed out and two bank accounts and overdraft status
Officer Greer's mother is suffering from Alzheimer's put her in a nursing home last year wiped out her savings
No one's seen Greer since Paul Bean's murder. Well, she's either in high Dean or she's dead
Okay, Kenzie and I balance here to go check out the bikini bar in Hollywood
Where did Greer's mother live before she moved to the nursing house in Van Nye's well, she's tapped out
It's probably still in the market correct. I'll drive you banter
Are you aware of the difference between the kidney bars and strip clubs, yeah, of course
No, is there is there a difference? I
So let me get this straight strip club no clothes no booze bikini bar clothes
Booze
Correct and which do you prefer? They both possess unique charms. No, no, no, no the apocalypse is tomorrow. You got one last night
That's a dilemma worthy of King Salomon
The kidney bar, yeah
Key bars definitely my pre apocalyptic choice. I don't know whether that makes me respect you
First date oh
Hi, well a girl can only do dinner in a movie so many times. Yeah
She's cute, but a sense of humor needs work. You have no idea
So a buddy of mine who's always talking about this place Paul Bean. Yeah, you know, yeah
His next cop and wheelchair we get CHP guys in here all the time
It's half off drinks if you show your badge. Oh, well, he kept trying to get us to come here and meet him last night
Do you remember who he's with? Ask him yourself
I wish that I could
Some guy came in here looking for him and they got into it. We toss the other dude out. What does it look like?
40s gold watch
The frat boy look with a bully vibe. We need access to all these security cameras. No, there's no work
I just put those in for show deterrents. Well, what we're being in this other guy arguing about
This Paul, okay
He was found dead this morning
I
Hear any details just one thing overgrown frat boy told Paul this was his last chance
if he said no
Let he kill him
Thanks, Kenzie last night Paul Bean's life was threatened our manager described him as an overgrown frat boy
Wearing a gold watch. Chris still ran though. So either she pulled the trigger or she's hiding from the people who did could be here at her mom's house
All right
Easy
You invested me it's good to see you again Greer
Yeah, I really see HP
I always thought the booths look funny on you
Ever killed Paul Bean him after you next you were wounded, but you managed to escape. I'm not answering any questions until I see a lawyer
Maybe we should just kick you out on the street give him another chance to finish the job
You work with us figure out who killed Paul. What makes you think I care who killed Paul you were partners
It doesn't mean anything just a man and a woman with guns drifting from case to case that it
Most partners seek a higher meaning helps them get to each day together. I
Don't know who killed Paul
And I don't know who came after me. Did you get a look at the shooters happen fast?
They were hockey masks black ones. Why would they want you dead?
Paul turned on the job
My payoff was too big and made him nervous
He said it involved military hardware something serious, so I told the rest of the guys to walk away from it
Military hardware is gonna be the connection to Camp Pendleton
Maybe that's where they started in the first place
How long were you two seeing each other?
How'd you know
I
Wedding ring
Sometimes Paul wore it sometimes he do I figured he was seeing someone who wasn't his wife
Paul's marriage was falling apart
None of the guys I dated got what I did for a living like he did anyone else now. No
After the accident it changed him
He made to this dark place he used his connections to start the California gold taxing service
And you helped him I couldn't sell the house
My mom's medical bills were adding up
I
Want to help you
Call your California gold crew put out the word
Get scared into taking the job officers actually empower they're gonna handle it
Oh
Are you boys tonight as far as I'm concerned any night off duty is a good night
half off drinks
But not tips
He's buying
You bummed you're stuck here with me. No, it's for the best I
Can't go undercover in places like this anymore all the dancers know and love me
Must be your dashing personality
It's not my money I
Have mystique
My mistake. I don't mean the Burnett dancer inside the bar real name Kimberly. Hey, congratulations a go-go dancer told you her real name
patience Kenzie
And by patience I don't mean the red head that goes on at 10 o'clock tonight real name Jessica
well
What?
That might be our guy right there chatting up the bouncer front boy looks
Flashy gold watch Sam Callan. I think we got eyes on our man. He's on his way in
Not to watch
I
Steve Brenner
Exley bow California gold taxi service speaks for you to never heard of it
What you're asking about Jennifer Greer at the CHP motor pool earlier today
Earl partner was murdered this morning
Paul Bean
Never heard of him sounds like we're running out of things to talk about maybe you should leave before things get awkward
one bikini ball
No such thing as awkward
Hear me out you got 10 seconds
nine eight
seven
Six, I need a couple of CHP cops to pull off a job
We're on the street is you two don't scare easy. What's the pay 50 grand each?
What do we got to do black Range Rover driving to Los Angeles from Vegas tomorrow
Fire up some players create a roadblock pull the driver out give him a ticket take him in for
Resistance once he's locked up you get paid
What's his name?
Now I'm born you want us to rest the right guy. We're gonna need a name
Phil Cromby ex-con business rival of mine. I need him off the street so I can play a deal
What if we say no
Ask Paul Bean and Jennifer Greer how that worked out for them
We're in
Being touched
Can you mention military hard way or Pendleton?
This really about sounds like we're about to find out
Took these at the club last night recognize them none of these guys are CHP
They don't want they came after you they were hockey masks and it could be them could be someone else
You regret getting involved now the state's running out of money
CHP's broke you got good cops being forced into early retirement. There's no such thing as overtime anymore
We didn't think it would come to this but it did I'm not proud of the California gold taxi service, but
Guys were losing their houses
Yeah, I regret it I think Paul regretted it too
Tell us more about the guys that tried to kill you they're good
train
Like cops like military
So Steve Brenner is an alias his real name is Justin Marquetti did nine years in federal prison for running a Ponzi scheme
Some people thought he was Wall Street savant until 20 million dollars of his clients money disappeared mostly retirement funds and life savings
His buddies are all former French military gig and it's an elite count of terrorism
The services don't come cheap
And what do we have in Phil crown bed the guy Marquetti wants us to stop
He did a dime in fulsome for drug trafficking released last year currently employed by a restaurant Santa Monica
Are you graduating from narcotics to military hardware?
It's got to be Marquetti ready to start the trace
Peter Exley the range rug will be passing markers for four seven on route 138 exactly 4 p.m.
You sure crown bees on board he's driving don't screw it up
No, he's using an encrypted sap phone not even close
We need to figure out if we're dealing with narcotics or military hardware go back to Paul beans garage see if anything else turns up
We're on it. I've queried officials at Camp Pendleton and numerous agencies
There is no other operation in play at this time
Mr. Callan
Mr. Hannah
We still don't know what we're getting myself into here
Please be careful
Hopefully this guy Cromby can fill in some of the blanks
Black range rule here we go
I
This is a restriction
Got up the phone with Phil Cromby's boss
He just showed up for work at the restaurant
Callan Sam Cromby is not the one in that Range Rover Sam. What's the problem officer?
Nothing personal
Oh
Okay, that's the big they're more kiddies guy
Don't you say you're welcome?
Oh
I deco from the Department of Energy
Shooters use plastic explosives to level your bikes
Probably think the blast finish you guys off. Where's the trailer?
Tracked it with satellite imagery range Rover and trailer were dumped a half mile away found three more bodies
Department of Energy security detail riding in back with the cargo
Department of Energy took all of 10 minutes for these guys to become ghosts
Found these scattered on the floor of the range Rover they left behind
You kind of fruit been till get the
Candy-coated fix from the little Leafs doesn't track
Okay, these guys are French. They're not Arab counter-terrorist operatives don't become jihadist overnight
Oh
Hey, so beans garage was a dead end
You guys okay. Yeah, could you repeat that?
Empty quiver indeed empty quiver ladies and gentlemen
What does empty quiver mean empty quiver is a Pentagon term
It refers to the loss or theft of a functioning nuclear weapon. They stole a nuke
Well
What in DOE just decided to take it on a road trip they ship trailers like this across the highways every day
The idea is to be low-profile. They're unmarked and manned by former special forces operators. No one's been any the wiser
Until today the trailer contains a warhead and route to refurbishment
We were not informed because of the sensitive nature of the cargo
What's the yield a hundred kilotons?
Five times the power of the one that leveled Hiroshima
And how is the Department of Energy handling this discreetly if the media discovered it would be panic
Nuclear emergency support teams have been deployed to sky with the area for its radioactive signature
These guys wanted to set off a nuke. Why haven't they done it already?
You need a nuclear physicist to arm it and trigger the dead nation
This talent is to Hannah
a word
The blame game is begun
High-level officials interested in covering their own asses
They're demanding to know why the two NCIS agents on the scene weren't able to prevent the incident
The word investigation is already been bandied about what's pretty meaningless given what's at stake and
Politicking isn't our job. Oh, no, mr. Hannah. It's mine. You don't have to protect us
Oh, yes, I do and I've feared for years that a day would come when I wouldn't be able to I
Hope this isn't it. There is only one solution
Recover the warhead before it can be used
We just received a video
You
White House received this five minutes ago. They're keeping it under wraps don't want to create panic. Well, there's the warhead
Says Pan Islamic Brotherhood in Arabic
Dr. Celia Richard
They're forcing me to arm it
Judgement day has arrived in three hours. The American people
Will feel the fear of not knowing who will die or win three hours from now at 6 30 a.m
The video doesn't specify a target now, Mr. Deli Richards
Employed by Golden State Tech formerly employed by trectile electronics the weapons manufacturer
Worked in R&D at their Maryland plant cutting-edge tech
She was originally recruited by the Department of Energy at a school
But went private sector instead
Specializes in applied physics not theoretical which means she can arm the warhead must be why they chose her since when do Wall Street guys start working with more
hobby Muslims
Our kiddies guys don't master profile for martyrs
something's off
Tell Golden State Tech Security we need full access to Dr. Richards office
Sam I checked it out. There's nothing on the net sensors signs of struggle. I'll keep looking. Thanks Eric
Nests teams are drawing a blink a nuke signature has to be more radioactive than everything else around it or else detection equipment can't find it
Well, LA's filled with things that would throw sensors off. We're talking buildings vehicles even people
All right, so what's the best way to transport a nuke without getting caught?
bananas
Lots of bananas bananas are high in potassium and potassium is radioactive
If I was hiding a nuke I'd hide it in the truck loader full of fooling the sensor by creating a false positive one look inside
They're gonna wave it along Sam
It's
Two radiuses the first one measures a blast originating in downtown LA the second one measures the effects of a nuclear fallout
We need to tell Eddie now
Not yet
What?
Eddie will have to inform the Pentagon
We'll start to evacuate the city
What if that's exactly what my catty lunch guys who are capable of pulling off a hijacking operation like that
Don't accidentally forget their maps. Yeah, classic misdirection
Okay, so for right the last thing we have to worry about is an attack in Los Angeles in two hours and 11 minutes
What if we're wrong
I
Deal you Richard, I don't know the name
Now I've seen her
But at a bar a month ago she wanted to meet to talk about a potential California gold taxi service job
I drove Paul to meet her waiting in the car outside. You sure it was her Paul and I were sleeping together
He meets up with a woman that looks like this. I take notice
You say what the job was about
No, but whatever it was to shook him up. He wouldn't give me any details
He said that the woman gave him stock tips
Told him to sell everything in his portfolio and put it in gold and silver
We dug into dealier Richard's finances over the past five years
She made a small fortune in the stock market as a day trader her equities were handled by an investment firm whose address is a
Peel box in the Cayman Islands
Now it's rented by a woman who used to work for Justin Marquetti's old hedge fund
So what's the connection between a day trading physicist and ex-con money manager in a stolen nuke?
You found a map of Los Angeles with nuclear blast radius is marked off and you kept it from me
I made a judgment call
If we told you about it, you would have been bound to report it to the Pentagon
I'm the one who decides whether or not we fulfill these obligations. Mr. Callan. I don't need your protection
I need your trust and I need your help
Marquetti is trying to play us
To what end it's exactly what we were just about to ask you
The video said something's gonna happen. It's 6 30 a.m. That's one hour from now
What happens at that time in LA start a rush hour a better question may be what happens on the east coast where it'll be
9 30 a.m.
The New York Stock Exchange opens for trading
Terrorist attacks cause panic in times of panic people sell off their stocks the market plummets
What happened on 9-11? Everyone dumped the airline stocks, but a small group of people
Sold their airline shares short the day before and made a fortune Marquetti is gonna terrorist attack at his fingertips
He doesn't even have to detonate the nuke the threat alone will be enough to crash the market
If the public even thinks she had it stole that warhead
It'll cause mass hysteria. Well, the video hasn't gone wide yet and the man isn't a jihadist
He's sitting on inside information that could make him billions
All he has to do is release that video sit back and watch the market do his bidding
It'll be like the real estate crash all over again, except it'll be every business all on the same day at the same time
Yes, Eric we found what we were looking for on Marquetti
Bingo
Dug up all real estate holdings on Steve Brenner a.k.a. Justin Marquetti last month he acquired a factory called festive ceramics
They produce dishes and plates paint used on ceramics contains high amounts of uranium
Harmless but highly radioactive in any factory using it registers off the charts in the eyes of the detection equipment
Marquetti created a false positive the perfect smoke screen to hide the nuke
There's not much time until the New York Stock Exchange opens. We need to move on that factory now
Shooters that hijacked that trailer will be there anything we should know about them. They're not the type to stop when you yell freeze. Mr. Callan
Lethal actions been authorized
Sentries are down
Oh
Very personal
You're welcome
Sam someone just accessed the video in this laptop. It could have been uploaded
Got the mirroring app up and running
What are you seeing here?
Video footage hasn't been streamed anywhere yet, but they uploaded a copy to a flash drive
Oh
Driver and passenger down seven down one man left in there using the nuke for cover
Don't miss
Hey empty quiver is secure
I
Need to stop this video Eric video is already in the cloud the auto run script executable is about to go live. I'm almost there
Videos been disabled guys
What did you just do I
Used a VNC controller to piggyback the upload with the Trojan and corrupt the streaming data packets by initiating the stack buffer overflow
In English mr. Beal. Oh, I broke the internet
Okay, drop it
Sorry it ain't over yet, okay
You're not gonna have trouble shooting him with that safety on
That's gonna leave a mark get over there
I got a question for you
Is it true all Wall Street guys are born losers and they get rich to compensate
Well, that's rhetorical. You're a loser and you
You looked a lot better on camera, sweetheart
Oh
Hey guys, what did Eric do with the video shut down the internet what the whole Internet yeah even Twitter
What happens now CHP has taken over the case it's not our call
But they know you helped us
Did you get him
The guy who killed Paul we got
I
So turns out Marquette he was paying off an intelligence officer at Camp Pendleton
That's how he knew the route the war had was taking it makes sense
Now is it true that you describe?
Kenzie is hilarious. I'm sorry what?
You don't remember that time what time
The time that now come on I the time oh
Right that time of course. It was funny. It was funny
Oh
Great
In the future, I will I will try to take things more seriously
What I will try and lighten up I'd like that
I would like that too
Give me a favor though. Yeah
Don't ever laugh like that again
He was terrifying
You
