[SPEAKING
IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

[GRUNTING]

SEAL 1: Door. Go.
SEAL 2: Hit it.

- I'm an American.
- SEAL 1: U.S. Navy SEAL.

Let's get you out of here, Sarah.

After a week of recovery
and reintegration

at the Landstuhl Medical Center,

social worker Sarah Goode is on
her way back to the United States.

When asked, a State Department
spokesperson

would not disclose her destination.

LEON:
Gibbs, mind a visitor?

REPORTER [ON TV]: So a happy
ending to a year-long ordeal.

GIBBS: Hey, Leon.
LEON: Hey.

They're bringing Sarah Goode
to Washington.

Putting her up in a hotel.

Henderson at the State Department
requested our help debriefing her.

I'd like you to handle it.

Yeah, sure.
I'll call Henderson in the morning.

Evidence collected by the SEAL team

has been sent to our lab
for Ms. Sciuto to analyze.

- Nice piece of work. It's all handmade.
- Yeah. It was Jackie's grandmother's.

She always said she wanted
to give it to Kayla.

You know she's turning 16
next month?

- Can you fix that, Gibbs?
- Yeah, sure.

Missing a hinge.

Probably pick up one of those
at the market on Sunday.

I appreciate any help
you can give me with it, Gibbs.

We're gonna get the bastard.

You checking up on me, Leon?
I'm fine.

Are you, Gibbs?

Had a chance to kill me, and he didn't.

He wants you to torture yourself.

I'm not gonna give him
that satisfaction.

Next time.

- Wait.
- Hmm?

I'm surprised there
was no memorial service for Diane.

Said she never wanted one.

How's Fornell doing?

He's not doing too well.

Took a leave of absence,
get his act together.

Bureau assured him that
every agency is going after Mishnev.

Were he and Diane
gonna get married again?

Oh, man.

Now he has to raise
a teenage daughter by himself.

- What's that?
- TONY: It's a car magazine.

It's got a review of the new Corvette
I wanna read.

I think I just may treat myself.

I used to have one.
It's my favorite car.

- Why sell it?
- He didn't.

It was stolen and wrecked
during a televised freeway chase.

Oh.

Yeah. I'm gonna get a coffee.
Get you anything?

I'm-- I'm good, thanks.

Okay.

What's going on with Tony?
He's been so mellow lately.

You know what?
I bet he's on a mood stabilizer.

Uh, are you out of your mind?

Tony goes through my drawers
all the time.

Besides, something is going on,
I'm telling you.

Yesterday, I locked the keys
in the sedan.

We had to wait an hour
for transpo to come and get us.

Normally he'd be calling me names.

You know, Mcldiot, McGoofis,
McDumbell, but nothing.

Instead, while we waited,

he reminisced about being
a rookie cop in Philadelphia

and losing the keys to a sedan.

You're exaggerating.
He's not acting that different.

Oh, I'm exaggerating? Watch this.

[BISHOP GASPS]

No. He's gonna kill you.

Bishop, just talked
with Henderson at State.

Our interview with Sarah Goode,
1:00, her hotel.

Yes, sir. We just did
some background work on her.

McGEE: She was a volunteer
working at an orphanage in Syria

when she was taken by the terrorists.

I'm begging the U.S. government.

Please give them the money that
they're asking for so I can get home.

If you don't, they're gonna kill me.

Please.

BISHOP: Kidnappers
were demanding $100 million.

But per U.S. policy,
ransoms aren't paid.

They didn't figure on SEALs
spoiling their plan.

Heh. Oh, hey.

- What happened here?
- Oh, sorry about that, Tony.

Your phone was ringing. I went to go
answer it and I spilled my coffee.

Well, accidents happen.

[CELL PHONE RINGING]

Yeah, Abs. I'm on the way down.

McGee, thanks for trying
to get that call.

I'm just gonna get some paper towels.

- Who is that guy?
- You're right. That was very un-Tony.

Whoa. Abs, what's got you so excited?

The evidence that the Navy SEALs
collected and sent back

suggests there was another terrorist,
one we didn't know about.

- How do you know?
- I found fingerprints on this rifle

that don't belong to any
of the terrorists killed in the raid.

You got a match?

Why else would I bring
you down here?

Special Agent Gibbs, meet Kyle Nasry.

Maryland driver's license.

I thought you'd find that interesting.

Gibbs, his prints were on the weapon.

Definitely not a hostage.

It looks like one of Sarah Goode's
captors was an American.

Interestingly, Kyle Nasry's father
was born in Aleppo, Syria,

immigrated to the United States
as a boy

and passed away
when Kyle was only 12.

His mother is an American.
She's a grade-school teacher

and lives in their family home
in Olney, Maryland.

Kyle graduated
from Morgan State University,

where he majored
in environmental science.

The only thing of note on his record,
Nasry was arrested in D.C.

during the 2010 protest against
the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

He was investigated
and cleared by the FBI.

Now he's with terrorists in Syria.

All right, it's almost 1:00.

We have an interview
with Sarah Goode.

Hopefully she knows something.

DiNozzo, take McGee,
go to Olney, talk to Nasry's mother.

This is a radical change

from the windowless room
I lived in for the last ten months.

You know, I began to think
that I'd never make it out of there alive.

The State Department's been great,

putting me up here,

but I know I can't stay forever.

- Family?
- Unfortunately, none.

I'm an orphan myself. That's why
I work with homeless children.

How'd you end up in Syria?

Well, um, after high school,
I started working day-care jobs.

And then this opportunity came up
to join an international relief agency

that worked with children
orphaned by the war.

It was very rewarding.

Until the day I was traveling
to another village to pick up a child

and I was stopped at a roadblock
and, uh, taken captive.

You know this man?

No.

He was working with the terrorists
who were holding you in Syria.

His name's Kyle Nasry.
He's an American.

Sorry, I was isolated and only dealt
with a limited number of people.

Men.

- They always wore hoods.
- Any of them speak English?

No.

I mean, not more than a few words.

Was this man killed in the raid?

- No.
- State Department said

you've turned down requests
from the media for interviews.

Yeah, that's just not me.

I've never liked being in the spotlight.

For the moment,
I would just like to lay low.

The, um...

The only thing that I'd like to do
before I leave Washington

is to hear Musa ibn Hasan.

The imam's in town to give a speech.

His stand against religious extremism
and jihadist violence

truly represents the beliefs
of the Muslims that I knew in Syria.

Unfortunately, a radical mufti
issued a fatwa

demanding Hasan's execution.

- Where do you go from here?
- I know it sounds crazy,

but I would like to go back to Syria.

Back to the orphanage.

There are so many children
who need help there.

But I know I can't go back
until the country's stabilized.

Disaffected young Western males
here and in Europe

are targeted by terrorist recruiters.

Most are troubled kids seeking
redemption and violent action.

And they buy into jihad.

Media-savvy militants in Iraq
and Syria post graphic photos

and slick recruitment videos
on Facebook and Twitter.

Reach right into a kid's bedroom.
Parents have no idea what's going on.

This is Cleavon Smith,
a former Detroit gang member,

born-again Muslim,
who was known as Abu Hussein

when he died last week
on the killing fields of Syria's civil war.

Do we know how many Americans
are fighting in Syria?

About a dozen,
and we can stop them from returning.

It's the ones we don't know about
that are the concern.

Like this guy Nasry you've uncovered.
What else do you know about him?

- Your lab turn up anything else?
- Not yet.

Our forensic scientist
is working on the computer files

that the SEALs brought back.

And Nasry's been put on the no-fly list.
We'll keep you posted, director.

Mrs. Nasry?

- Yes?
- NCIS Special Agents

DiNozzo and McGee.

NCIS?

Oh, you guys are great.

One of your agents, Ned Dorneget,

spoke to my seventh-graders
on Career Day.

TONY:
Hmm.

What are you doing here?

We'd like to ask you a few questions
about your son.

Kyle's not here.
He's traveling in Greece.

Why don't we talk inside?

We have reason to believe that Kyle

has aligned himself
with jihadist terrorists.

No, no.

That's-- That's not possible.

We know his father was born in Syria.

Yes, but he came to America
as a young boy.

My husband wasn't religious
or political.

Kyle went to an episcopal high school.

- Where he played football.
- Yes.

How do you know he's in Syria?

When was the last time
you heard from him?

A week or two ago.

We exchange e-mails.

Who's the young lady
in the photograph?

It's Chelsea, his girlfriend.

That was taken right before they left
for Europe last summer.

- Have you heard from her?
- She came home.

They broke up.

You know how we can get
ahold of her?

I have her cell number.

This is an excellent
debriefing report, Eleanor.

The State Department
should be pleased.

Thanks.

But you appear concerned.

I am. That's why I asked you
to review it.

I feel like I missed something.

- Oh?
- Sarah Goode is incredible.

I mean, after everything
she's been through,

she's handling it so well.

And your concern is?

It's all gonna hit her later.

Well, some people don't begin
to experience the symptoms until later.

It's called delayed-onset
post-traumatic stress disorder,

and it affects almost a quarter
of PTSD cases.

Sarah wants to go back
to the orphanage in Syria.

That would be a big mistake.

- It could trigger...
- A breakdown.

Yeah.

[WHISTLING]

Hey, you haven't said a word to me
since we left the office.

I've been trying to figure out
what you're up to.

- Me?
- Yeah.

You've been acting so, you know, nice.
You haven't abused me in days.

TONY: Oh, well, if you would like me
to abuse you,

I will abuse you.

Come on, let's go.

Jeez, look at this thing.

CHELSEA:
Uh, it's open.

[DOG BARKING]

- Oh.
- Hi.

Chelsea, hi.
I'm Special Agent DiNozzo.

This is McGee from NCIS.
We called earlier.

Yeah, you did not sound so cute
on the phone. Heh.

[TONY CHUCKLES]

Um, I'm running late with Tiffany,

- so if we could--
- Tiffany? Oh, hi, sweetheart.

Are you Tiffany?

- Whoa!
- Sorry.

Oh, it's okay.

Uh, just so you guys know, I haven't
seen or spoken to Kyle in months.

Well, his mother said that you two
broke up while you were in Europe?

- Yeah.
- There a reason?

He started acting strange. Um...

You think you know someone, but...

He began hanging out
with people that I didn't like.

- Hmm. What was wrong with them?
- They were negative.

Against everything,
a radical, extremist crowd.

I'd had enough.
Kyle and I began arguing so much.

I left.

Do you have a dog?

Oh, no.

I had a cat. It ran away.
I have two goldfish.

Oh, well,
who takes care of them for you?

Oh, they--

They're just in their bowl.

Sort of take care of themselves.
Heh. Thank you.

- You're seeing someone.
- Ha. I wish.

Oh, please. Come on,
dog lady was hitting on you like crazy.

- She's super cute and--
- Twenty-two years old.

McGEE: Since when
has that ever stopped you?

LEON:
Got a call from Homeland.

Kyle Nasry's passport cleared customs
at Dulles two days ago.

Our worst fear, a home-grown
terrorist back on U.S. soil.

McGEE: This was taken at the airport
the day before yesterday.

And that is Nasry.

Camera also picked him up
on an escalator.

Lost him after that.
No sign of him curbside.

All the intelligence
and law enforcement agencies

have been alerted.

[ELEVATOR BELL DINGS]

Boss.

Fornell.

How you doing, man?

Uh, I'm okay, DiNozzo.

I was working undercover before.

Uh, Agent Fornell,
I'm so sorry for your loss.

- Thank you.
- How's your daughter?

It's been tough for her.

Diane's mother is trying to help.

Tobias, you have my condolences.

Thanks, Tim.

Diane was very fond of you.

I know you two were close.

We weren't that close.

Tobias? What are you doing here?

Kyle Nasry.

Yeah, what about him?

In 2010, I personally investigated
and cleared him of criminal intent

in a protest against the wars
in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Look at him now.

Well, that was years ago.
People change. Don't blame yourself.

- FORNELL: He's looking for a cause.
- Agent McGee.

There were indications he'd go further.
I didn't put him on a watch list.

Boss, Nasry's mother is here.
She's waiting in the conference room.

Call you later, all right?

- Where you going?
- Help you interview the mother.

Nasry's a civilian.

A suspected terrorist on U.S. soil.
That sounds like FBI jurisdiction to me.

- You took a leave of absence.
- I gotta get my mind off Diane.

Get back to work.

I'm going crazy in the house.

Dealing with a grief-stricken, hormonal
teenage daughter and Diane's mother.

- You remember Mo?
- Oh, yeah.

- She was your mother-in-law too.
- Yeah, hard to forget.

Okay.

MRS. NASRY: I e-mailed Kyle
that I wanted to meet him in Athens

over Christmas break.

And he had all kinds of reasons
why I shouldn't come.

Now it makes sense.

He wasn't there.

We believe he's now back
in Washington.

No, he would've called me.

I understand a parent
protecting their child.

I also know personally

there's added pressure
on a single parent.

But if you've heard from Kyle
or if he tries to contact you,

you have to tell us.

I haven't heard from him.

I know Kyle was political,
but he would never do anything evil.

Can you think of anyone
he might try to contact?

- A friend, relative?
- Someplace he might go?

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

Gibbs, I need to talk to you. Oh.

Um, Abby? We're in the middle
of an interview.

- ABBY: Mm.
- Abs, what is it?

I was reconstructing an external
laptop drive the SEALs brought in.

It was damaged in the raid.

GIBBS: You were able
to recover some information?

Um, no, not yet. Be patient.

There's something I wanna show you.
I tested its cover for touch DNA.

It only requires seven to eight cells
from the outermost layer

of human skin when an object
is touched or casually handled.

- And you got a hit.
- ABBY: Yes.

From the FBI's biometric database.

You're welcome.

There was another American

working with the terrorists
holding Sarah Goode.

BISHOP: Randall White served
with the U.S. Army in Afghanistan.

Bad conduct discharge
in 2010 for insubordination.

TONY: In 2011, he was arrested
along with other gang members

for aggravated assault
in Newark, New Jersey.

Copped a plea, served six months,
got two years' probation,

and that is how he found his way
onto the FBI database.

If Nasry's back, White could be too.

I'll check customs and TSA.

One other thing. While in prison,
White converted to Islam.

His last known whereabouts
was in Turkey over a year ago.

He obviously made his way into Syria.

- There could be others.
- Holy crap.

White's passport
was scanned by customs

at the Dulles International
Arrivals Building 15 minutes ago.

- He could still be at the airport.
- I'll alert TSA, airport police.

- Airport security cameras.
- I'll work from MTAC.

DiNozzo, get the car.

Bishop, come on.
Let's go. You're with us.

FORNELL:
We looking for beards here?

If Walker's a full-blown jihadist,
he might've grown one.

I hope not.
It'd cover half the facial markers.

BISHOP:
White's parents live in California.

Right out of high school, he went
to Fort Sill in Oklahoma for training.

An ex-girlfriend and 7-year-old son
he doesn't support

- still live just off the base.
- Guy's a real winner.

He doesn't appear to have a
connection to anyone in the D.C. area.

Well, it can't be a coincidence
that he and Nasry are here.

Something's going down.

[CELL PHONE RINGING]

It's that-- It's that one.

- Hello?
- McGEE: All right, we got him.

White got in a downtown D.C. cab

about 16 minutes ago.
I got the cab number.

- Alert Virginia state police and Metro.
- GIBBS: Hold off.

- Maybe he'll lead us to Nasry.
- That's risky, Gibbs.

McGEE:
Their cabs are all equipped with GPS.

I can call the dispatcher.
He can track it.

Do it.

Where you fly in from?

How far away are we from the hotel?

Phew, in this traffic,
about ten, 15 minutes.

They're on 66th, about to cross
the Theodore Roosevelt Bridge.

Ask the dispatcher to call his driver.
Get White's destination.

[CELL PHONE RINGING]

Go ahead, Alex.

Uh, Chesterfield Hotel.

Boss, he's headed towards
the Chesterfield Hotel.

[TIRES SCREECHING]

It's me. Leave now.

Pull over. Let me out here.

Oh, you're ten blocks
from the hotel still.

That's okay.

FORNELL:
Cab stopped in the middle of the block.

Could be traffic.

Thank you for your help, Alex.

Okay. Dispatcher said that White
made the cabbie pull over. He got out.

- Where?
- McGEE: On 12th Street,

- between C and D.
- Okay. We're close.

[TIRES SCREECHING]

Show me your hands.

- Federal agents.
- Stop!

No, no.

Heard about plastic guns.
First one I've ever seen.

The technology obviously works.
White got it through airport security.

Three airports.
I downloaded his flight information.

He first shows up
in Ankara, Turkey, last week.

From there was to Athens,
then London to here.

All tickets were purchased
at the airline counter in cash.

Think Nasry has a similar weapon?

Wouldn't surprise me.

Let's keep a media lid on this
until we know more.

No names, no mention
of terrorists, no panic.

TONY: Hey, boss?
GIBBS: What do you got?

Showed the picture of Kyle Nasry

to the desk clerk
at the Chesterfield Hotel.

Nasry was there,
but left minutes before we arrived.

Which is strange, because
he paid for a week in advance.

NPRC forwarded
Randall White's medical records.

- GIBBS: It's him?
- It most assuredly is.

Fingerprints and blood type match.

Abby is comparing DNA.

All identifying scars,
marks and tattoos are present.

But a cursory examination
turned up some curious facts.

See these cuts and nicks on his face?

- Razor burn?
- Suggesting a recently shaved beard.

Then here.

- GIBBS: That's a gang tattoo.
- From a miscreant youth.

But I find this one more informative.

According to his records,

this was a U.S. Army Ranger

"death with dishonor" tattoo.

But it's been covered up
by this more intricate design.

- What's that tell you, Duck?
- That he was a disgruntled soldier.

That, combined with his gang history

and, well, a terrorist group
has a seductive appeal.

They offered Mr. White even
more forms of spectacular violence.

[SIGHS]

[CHUCKLES]

Hey, Spider.

Hey, Zoe.

So this is what you do when you tell
me you're working hard at the office.

[CHUCKLES]

Yeah. Well, you know...

- What are you doing here?
- I am on official business.

Oh.

- What's that?
- Your forensic tech called me.

- Oh, Abby.
- Yeah.

She thought ATF should take a look at
a weapon that you took into evidence.

Mm.

Well, as you know,
her lab is downstairs.

How can we help you up here?

I am up here to return something

that you left at my place
when you rushed out this morning.

Mm.

Yeah.

Well, I was a little lightheaded.

What did I leave?

- Uh, these.
- Oh, boy. Oh, yeah.

- You found the key. Heh-heh.
- Mm.

- I had you locked up pretty good.
- Yeah, you did.

Well...

Um, are we keeping us a secret?

Yeah, uh, listen.

This place is a henhouse.

It practically runs on gossip, and I
do not want to be topic number one.

And we're doing pretty good
in this relationship, right?

Right.

I don't want to spoil it.

- Okay.
- Okay.

You're very dangerous.

Okay. No, it looks good to me.

I think your eyes are just fine.
I'll take you down to Abby's lab.

That explains it.

Tony's in love.

Well, I don't know about love,
but they're definitely in heat.

ZOE: A plastic gun
like this can be downloaded

and reproduced by anyone
with a 3D printer.

This is the photo taken
by the Navy SEAL team

when they rescued Sarah Goode.

Yep, this printer could do the job.

It can be purchased
for a couple thousand dollars.

I disassembled the gun,
and it's really quite simple.

All the elements are made of plastic,
including the springs.

TONY: Can't believe those parts
came out of a printer.

The only metal component
is the firing pin,

and it's a small,
common roofing nail.

And it's unreadable
by a metal detector.

Downside is it only holds one bullet.

There's no rifling,
so it's not very accurate.

Only good at close range. Plus it's
plastic, so it degrades after a few uses.

McGEE:
Oh, hey, guys.

Uh, you guys remember
Special Agent Zoe Keates.

- How've you been?
- Sure.

- Hi. Good.
- Hey.

Did you guys need something?

Uh...

Yes.

You had mentioned you needed help
with the encrypted files on your laptop.

- I did?
- You did.

I did.

I totally did.

I forgot. I'm sorry. Heh.

Is everybody okay?

Yeah, I should get going.

So, hey, Abby, if you need anything
else, just give me a buzz, okay?

- I will walk you out, Agent Keates.
- Great.

- Good to see you guys.
- You too.

TONY: Sorry, I don't know
what that was all about.

- What is going on?
- Tony and Zoe are dating.

- Full-body-contact dating.
- What?

And Tony didn't say anything?

Usually he gives those graphic
"we do not want to hear" details

about any conquests.

Yeah, maybe it's because this time
he's serious.

Joint NCIS and FBI teams

are staking out Nasry's house
in case he tries to contact his mother.

We got a warrant
to tap her phone, e-mail.

Agents have interviewed
Nasry's friends,

teachers,
everyone he was close with.

If you believe them,
no one's heard from him.

All right. Aside from White's DNA

and Nasry's fingerprints
at the terrorists' apartment,

do we have anything else
connecting the two?

Yes. Chesterfield Hotel. White
was headed there from the airport.

- Nasry checked out before we arrived.
- Why were they in D.C.?

[CELL PHONE BEEPS]

Sorry. Ahem.

It's a reminder to pick up Emily
from her ballet class.

Go.

Tobias.

If you need somebody to talk to,
we got a lot in common.

Is he all right?

No.

But he's putting up a good front.

Mm.

[RINGS]

- SARAH: Who is it?
- Special Agent Gibbs.

Hi.

Mr. Henderson
at the State Department

said that they were finished
with my debriefing,

that I could get on with my life.

What's that gonna be?

Who knows?

I have this feeling that you're here
for a reason, Agent Gibbs.

Do you have more questions for me?

The man we spoke to you about,
Kyle Nasry,

he's back in the United States.

- Do you think I'm in danger?
- No.

You were kidnapped and held
for ransom halfway around the world.

That's all about money.

There's no purpose in them
coming after you here.

But I'd like to ask you
about someone else.

We believe that there was
another American terrorist

in the apartment
where you were being held captive.

Sorry.

Did he come back
to the United States too?

Yeah, but he killed himself
before we could question him.

I wish I could be of more help,

but I never saw either of them.

Okay. Thanks for your help.

[GIBBS CLEARS THROAT]

- Are you okay?
- Yeah, Agent Gibbs.

I'm fine.

If you want to talk.

Faheed.

Randall's dead.

It's all falling apart.

Don't panic.

We never thought I'd be rescued
or that I'd be back here.

Let's use this to our advantage.

DiNozzo say why
he was gonna be late?

No.

Do you know where he is?

No.

- Probably that ATF gal.
- You know?

Of course you know.

I don't know
why he's trying to keep it secret.

- Anything on Nasry?
- No.

I'm in the office until 11:00,

and then I'm going to
the District Union Club luncheon.

State Department has requested
that I attend.

But I'll be reachable.

FORNELL: I grew up in a madhouse.
Three brothers.

The thought of raising a teenage
daughter by myself is terrifying.

Heh. Yeah, we can be difficult.

I moved out
of my one bedroom, one bath,

typical divorced man's apartment,
moved into Diane's place.

That makes sense. The less
you disrupt Emily's life, the better.

No question.

Probably would've done that anyway.

But now Diane's not there.

I love Emily.

She is the center of my universe,

but, uh, she's on the verge
of womanhood, if you catch my drift.

BISHOP:
Mm.

- I'm not comfortable with all that stuff.
- Heh.

Well, if you need some help,

I'd be glad to talk to her.
I think she'd listen to me.

I'd really appreciate that, Eleanor.
Thank you.

[BISHOP SIGHS]

You know, you talk about Emily and
how she's dealing with Diane's death.

FORNELL:
Mm.

But, uh, how are you doing?

It's not really about me.

Right now, it's about Emily.

I can be a dad to her,
but she lost her mom.

[CELL PHONE RINGS]

Fornell.

Yeah, I'll hold.

Wiretap paid off.
Nasry called his mom.

Just hung up. They're trying
to triangulate his location.

Finally a break.

Looks like she's going somewhere.

Or not.

She's made us.

I'll get back to you.

- Guess we didn't blend in too well.
- Agent Fornell,

Kyle just called me.
He asked me to meet with him.

- He needs money.
- I'm glad you're telling us.

Why are you?

He sounded frightened and strange.

This needs to end before
he hurts himself or anyone else.

ABBY: Finally got into
the external hard drives.

I'm downloading the files
to my computer.

Once I clean them up,
we should be able to view them.

- What are they?
- Definitely video files.

Um, a lot of Arabic. So I'm gonna have
to run them through a translator.

McGEE:
Boss.

Just heard from Bishop. Rachel Nasry
just got a call from her son to meet.

- Tony's pulling the car around.
- Go, go, go.

Thanks, Mom.

- TONY: NCIS! Hands in the air!
- Get down!

- Get down now!
- GIBBS: Get on your knees now!

TONY: Put your hands
behind your back. Behind your back.

[HANDCUFFS CLICKING]

[CHATTERING]

- Thank you.
- Be starting pretty soon, I imagine.

Sarah Goode?

I'm NCIS Director Leon Vance.

Nice to meet you, director. I've been
talking to Special Agent Gibbs.

Sorry I wasn't of any help.

I just wanted to let you know how
much we appreciate your cooperation.

So you're a fan of the imam?

- Big one.
- Mm. So am I.

I've been invited to meet with him
privately after the speech.

Well, I envy you. I have to settle
for a much larger audience.

- Enjoy the luncheon.
- Thank you.

GIBBS:
Are you still enjoying this, Kyle?

I've told you my name is Faheed.

Right, right.

Okay. You're Muslim, yeah. Got it.

Whatever.

You were planning to meet Randall
White at the Chesterfield Hotel.

He had a plastic gun.

What was the plan?

White's dead.

Look at him!

KYLE:
We've been here for two hours.

I'm getting hungry.

You do know my dietary restrictions?

- Suit yourself, fathead.
- Faheed!

Nasry. Same narcissistic punk
I interviewed five years ago.

How'd I miss the signs?

While you were being blown off
by Faheed,

I got a call from Homeland.

With Nasry in custody,

they've lowered the threat level
in the D.C. area.

Something's not right.

I concur.

He doesn't fit the profile
of a jihadi terrorist.

He allowed himself to be taken captive

rather than seek martyrdom
like his fanatical friend.

Uh, Abby needs to see you, Gibbs.

- What's she got?
- Do I look stupid?

I'm not gonna steal her thunder.

I was finally able to view the data
from the terrorists' files.

Along with training
and recruiting videos,

I found the unedited recording
of Sarah Goode's ransom plea.

I'm begging the U.S. government.

- Abs, I've seen this already.
- Oh, just wait.

There's more.

If you don't, they're gonna kill me.

Please.

Please.

- That was great.
- I can do better. I think I can do better.

For $100 million,
I need to be more convincing.

No. That was just right.

Nasry gave up too easily.

He used his mother to draw us away
from Sarah. He wanted to be captured.

Sarah Goode left the hotel
over an hour ago.

Spoke to the doorman.
Said she left on foot.

Think she was radicalized in Syria?

Looks that way.
Kidnapping was a fake.

Ransom demand
was to raise money.

Hundreds of millions of dollars
buys a lot of weapons.

No, something doesn't track.

I mean, Nasry and White left
the apartment in Syria before the raid.

They were working
their way back here.

What's your point?

They didn't know Sarah
would be rescued and brought back.

Whatever they were planning
has nothing to do with her kidnapping.

BOLO's out. Airports, train
and bus stations are on alert.

- We should tell Vance.
- He's not here.

- He's at the District Union Club.
- That's where the imam is speaking.

[CHATTERING]

[CELL PHONE RINGING]

Vance.

[SPEAKING IN ARABIC]

IMAM:
Pleasure seeing you.

Very nice to see you.
Thank you for coming.

GUARD:
Excuse me, sir.

NCIS. Okay, we're clear. Come on.

Pardon me, excuse me.

[SPEAKING IN ARABIC]

LEON:
Coming through. Sorry.

I have been waiting to meet you.
I'm happy you made it here safely,

and we are so grateful
for all of the wonderful work--

LEON:
Drop it, Sarah!

[PEOPLE SCREAMING]

Drop it!

Let it go! Let it go, Sarah!
Let it go!

[GUNSHOT]

[SHOUTING IN ARABIC]

Get her out of here!
Get her out of here now!

- You all right?
- I'm okay. Thank you.

FORNELL:
I'm at NCIS, honey.

I'm leaving right now.
I'll be home in 20 minutes.

I love you.

- Bishop?
- Hmm?

Do you think you could
do me a big favor

and, um, help me finish
these ECD documents?

You got somewhere to be, DiNozzo?

Uh, yeah, sort of.

Hey, Tony. Look who I found
waiting for you in the parking lot.

Whoa! Hey.

- What are you doing here?
- Relax, Spider. They know about us.

- Who knows?
- ALL: We all know.

- It's about time. Jeez.
- TONY: Ha, ha.

How did you find out?

- We're trained investigators, my friend.
- TONY: Heh.

And in honor of us coming out,
Tony is gonna buy everyone drinks.

I am?

Yeah, you are.

Come on. Get your coat.

- Yeah, boss.
- I'll take a rain check.

- And I will as well.
- TONY: All right.

McGEE: You heard. Tony's buying.
BISHOP: Sweet.

Wanna join us for dinner?

Our ex-mother-in-law
is making her famous lamb goulash.

Another rain check.

You're on your own, Tobias.

I miss her.

Diane.

More than I could have imagined.

Yeah, I know.

The first time around, well, you know,

she's difficult, tough,

but the second time,
we were older, smarter.

It was different.

God, I loved her.

It should've been me.

You make me a promise.

When you find this monster...

...I get a piece of him.
