NCIS (2003–…): Season 12, Episode 23 - The Lost Boys - full transcript

NARRATOR:
Previously on NCIS:

DUCKY: Cause of death?
A single wound to the ensign's

- carotid artery with a wide blade.
- Why the ensign?

Well, they were trying to
recruit Layna Korkmaz.

Ensign Wilt got in the way.

I got talked into joining
this chat room.

Only nobody there was
talking movies or music.

- What were they talking about?
- Was I lonely, did I know my calling?

- Messages from who?
- The crazy people.

- GIBBS: Terrorist group.
- According to the support site

Hellbent427 is Bradley Simek.

ABBY: He's got a bomb. The kid
has gunpowder on his computer

and a blueprint
for a plastic detonator.

- He printed a detonator.
- GIBBS: No!

Ten minutes.

- What?
- That's what you're thinking, right?

I mean, ten minutes earlier,

and we could've stopped him
from ever leaving his house.

None of this would've happened.

I was thinking five.

BISHOP: Hospital listed
all other injuries as minor.

Could've been worse.

Sixteen-year-old kid
blows himself up on a bus,

and it could've been worse.

Yeah.

All right,
Simek's mother's been notified.

Think he was being
straight with you?

- Who?
- The kid. Simek.

Said he didn't kill Wilt.
We believe him?

Some sick bastard
on the other end of a computer,

putting ideas in a kid's head.

You tell me how
we get ahold of that guy.

- Dorney's into it with Cyber.
- I want a full report ASAP.

- Roger that. Okay, I got it.
- Can't give you more info.

- Duck.
- The boy's right arm

was obliterated
when he detonated the bomb.

The rest of his mutilated body
ended up there.

But he was convinced somehow,

in all of this, that there was
dignity in his martyrdom.

- Let's get him out of here.
- Strange.

What?

Strange. These marks on his arm.

I noted them as burns,
but on closer inspection,

they appear to be in a pattern.

- A tattoo?
- Possibly.

Yeah, this design is familiar.

TONY:
Hey, excuse me, ma'am.

Behind the yellow-- Hey!
Get behind the tape!

It's not a suggestion.

It's a crime scene. Do not cross.

Follow instructions.

What happened?
Did you see something?

I don't know.

- Hi.
- Hello.

- What you doing?
- I'm about to head into MTAC.

Oh, that's right, because Gibbs
asked for that cyber update.

That's right. Wow, so, you're not only
doing your first MTAC briefing,

- you are running the show.
- Yup. I'll see you in there.

Oh, I'm not going in there.
Place is scary.

Tim will give me an update,
and a word to the wise,

I would empty my bladder
before I go in there,

because it's the
scariest place on Earth.

We've seen good agents
wet themselves bad.

It's very true.
And the carpet stains, so...

Look, guys, I appreciate
the pep talk, but I'm fine.

Stressful situations
don't get to me anymore.

- Since when?
- Okay.

I'll tell you this because
I'm confident enough,

but also, because it might
help you too.

Two words: Alter ego.

Whenever I'm feeling overwhelmed,

I mentally transition into
a better version of myself.

You mean like
Beyoncé and Sasha Fierce?

I was thinking more like
Clark Kent and Superman,

but, yeah, same idea.

- That's fantastic.
- It is.

I transitioned
right before you walked up.

That is why your BS
is not getting to me.

So right now,
who are we talking to?

Gilroy Libbs, Super Agent,
ready to kick some MTAC ass.

Huh.

First time with the eye scanner.
Child's play.

Did you see him do that
eye scanner?

First time I did it? Fourteen tries.

- Gilroy Libbs is kind of awesome.
- Yeah.

NCIS Cyber linked
Bradley Simek's communications

to several anonymous recruiters.

- I want names.
- And we'll get them.

For now, we were able to tie
the recruiters to a specific terror cell.

- Vice president?
- SALI: Dorneget brought us together

to pool our intel on the cell.

After all, this is an
international epidemic.

HASSAN: Group in question
is gaining notoriety

under a number of
calling cards worldwide.

[SPEAKING
IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

Or simply translated: The Calling.

- Where are they?
- HASSAN: Heart of the cell is in Iraq,

but their reach
is unlimited and focused.

The Calling is making a strong push
to recruit children.

- On the Internet.
- Exactly.

They're employing chat rooms,

first-person shooter games,
even cartoons,

in an effort to weaponize
children as young as 10.

The younger they are,
the less they look like a threat.

And the cell's mission?

They see themselves as underdogs,
standing against their oppressors.

Essentially, The Calling
is a twisted Peter Pan

recruiting an international band
of Lost Boys.

- It's a good metaphor.
- Thank you.

SALI: Interpol is assembling
an emergency think tank

to create a plan to stop The Calling's
online recruitment of youth.

GIRARD: May I interrupt
with a development?

Go.

We've sent you background
on a Calling leader here in France.

He does facilitate
communication within the cell.

- His name is Matthew Rousseau.
- We're looking at him.

My team has intercepted
several e-mails to him

- from the United States.
- Do you have a location?

GIRARD: No, but we were able
to decrypt some content.

It appears several
Calling loyalists in the U.S.

are seeking S-mines
on the black market.

Meaning what?

ABBY:
An S-mine, or a Bouncing Betty,

was a land mine used by
Germany in World War II.

When triggered, it shoots
into the air and detonates.

- It's like a shrapnel shower.
- I know what it does, Abs.

Can you still get them?

Yeah, I mean, if you have,
like, a really scary friend.

Like a super creepy, corner-lurking,

- black-market friend.
- Why go to the trouble?

All I know is if "The Calling"
wants these S-mines so bad,

I don't think they're gonna
use them for like, bookends.

How do we find the guys
looking for them?

I was hoping you had an idea.

- You have an idea, don't you?
- No.

But I got a scary friend.

Agent Gibbs.
How wonderful to see you again.

I must say, you're looking
handsomely tortured as ever.

I had my heart set on the wine list.

I highly recommend the fries, Bayar.

So now comes the part
where I say, "Please,

we've been through
too much together.

Call me Agah."

You nod, and then we both smile
at something that isn't funny.

- Let's skip that.
- Agreed.

Now to a positive.
Which is, I forgive you.

You've hurt my feelings in the past,
but absolution's good for the soul.

- I'm looking to make a deal.
- I'd hoped.

S-mines are being
chased on the black market.

I want to know
who's doing the chasing.

- And you think I can tell you.
- I think you can find out.

Black-market weapons,
that's your wheelhouse.

The people in my, uh,
"wheelhouse" are like you.

Resourceful, sour and armed.

If I ask a question,
I can't take it back.

Your neck is your concern, not mine.

The terms will be fair.

You'll be paid the same
as when you work with the DIA.

Okay.

So tell me, Gibbsey,

are you making a deal
with the devil, or am I?

[TECHNO MUSIC PLAYING
OVER SPEAKERS]

- Ducky?
- Oh, hello, Jethro.

You get a new 45?

No, Gibbs. It's my Lab Jams.

- Don't you recognize it?
- Not in here.

DUCKY: Yes, well, Abby and I
have joined forces for a moment.

She was kind enough
to show me how energizing

a little bit of bass can be, yes, sir.

I could totally hook you up

with Lab Jams
for the squad room if you want.

No.

[MUSIC STOPS]

- Then how about we just dazzle you?
- Yeah, I like that.

Yes, well, might I draw
your attention to

the design on Bradley Simek's arm.

ABBY: It's not a tattoo.
It's permanent marker.

And the angle suggests
that he drew it on there himself.

- Remember where you saw it, Duck?
- Yes.

Former
Army Specialist Randall White.

If you recall, four months ago,
he and two of his colleagues

- tried to assassinate a visiting imam.
- They were Americans.

Yeah, but they were radicalized
by a terror cell in Syria.

This is one of the
autopsy photographs I took

of White's identifying mark.

- It's a real tattoo.
- GIBBS: Same design as Simek's.

ABBY: Now, remember,
Bradley Simek's detonator

was downloaded from
the Dark Web,

and then it was created
on a 3D printer.

Just like the plastic gun that
Randall White used to kill himself.

Gibbs, The Calling
is connected to the same group

that recruited the
three Americans in Syria.

White's dead.
Where are the other two?

DUCKY: Kyle Nasry died
in prison two months ago.

The third terrorist is very much alive.

- BISHOP: This is Bishop.
- Hey, Bishop, bring in Sarah Goode.

Gentlemen, as you know,
Interpol is assembling a think tank.

I would like you to represent NCIS.
Both of you.

- Okay, where we headed?
- The sessions will be hosted by

GID Officer Hassan in Cairo.

- Heh. Egypt?
- Plane leaves in two hours.

Heh.

- Looks like you told them.
- Yeah. Wow.

Repping NCIS on an international
platform is a huge honor.

- Deserved.
- Thank you. I--

Excuse me. I got excited.

- Dorney, what are you doing?
- I wasn't thinking.

- I should've been more Gilroy Libbs.
- Who is Gilroy Libbs?

No one.

Okay. Off to Cairo. Thanks.

- Don't like that look.
- Yeah. Something's come up.

- Bayar?
- Yeah, the deal isn't gonna fly, Gibbs.

DIA got wind of it.
They shut it down.

- Leon, it's not their call.
- But it is.

SecDef is backing them.

They got Bayar locked into two ops,
they don't want him compromised.

Director, we need him on this.

It's done, Gibbs.
Using Agah Bayar is a no-go.

I want to talk to you
about The Calling.

- You connected them to me?
- Yes.

That's disappointing.

TONY: Look, as much as we all love
crypto-terrorist talk,

we need to know everything
you know about The Calling.

- So, what's it gonna take to get there?
- We're already there.

The Calling began as part
of the group I joined in Syria.

- But it became something else.
- What?

A faction eager to bring chaos.

They pushed our
religious doctrine aside.

They're rooted in nothing
but the desire to reject authority

- and paralyze the system.
- Misguided youth.

The faction broke off
and moved its followers to Iraq.

- And now they're everywhere.
- Overshadowing the one true way.

I want them stopped
as badly as you do.

- Just tell me how to help.
- Names. Anyone who's a member.

Our group is winning back
young people by the day.

I can't risk exposing those
who've found their way home.

These are chat-room discussions

between several Calling recruiters
and a boy named Brad Simek.

Kid blew himself up
for the cause two days ago.

SARAH:
I know this screen name.

- SSBUILDER-48.
- Who is it?

He was with us for a time
but was wooed by The Calling.

He's a brilliant engineer. A prodigy.

His emotional growth
took a backseat to his studies,

so he relates to youth.
He's a powerful recruiter.

He called himself The Builder,

a builder of bombs and of a people.

- Do you know his real name?
- The SS stands for Sadiq Samar.

That's his real name.

If you find him, end him.

Okay, here we go.
Sadiq Samar, 25.

U.S. citizen and resident
Pied Piper for The Calling.

Got his master's degree in
engineering at the ripe old age of 19.

He was arrested two years ago
during a protest of U.S. foreign policy.

- Where is he now?
- No idea. Doesn't hold down a job.

But his last known address
was an apartment building

that is now being rented by
newlyweds and their three pugs.

- Got something.
- Go.

Last year, a Sal Roberts
purchased a small building in D.C.

Down payment came out of
Samar's bank account.

And I can't find any other
record on this Roberts guy.

- Samar bought it under an alias.
- Got an address?

- Got it.
- Let's go.

Upstairs is clear.

TONY: It's always nice when someone
keeps a place up to code.

GIBBS:
It's a bayonet.

Looks like the others
from Simek's house.

BISHOP: It's dried blood. Could be the
weapon used to kill Ensign Wilt.

Maybe Brad was telling the truth
when he said he didn't do it.

Brad gives the knife to Samar,

Samar does the dirty work.

Lost boys.

[CLANGING NEARBY]

GIBBS:
Federal agents!

[CLANGING CONTINUES]

You all right?

You're safe. Come on out.

Gun.

You were at the bus.
What's your name, son?

Oh.

You want to hand that to me?

Okay. I'll come to you.

Easy.

Stay where you are. Nice and easy.

Okay. Got it.

Clear.

Use the zip ties, Bishop.
He's too small for handcuffs.

Luke Harris, right?

Your parents reported you
missing last night, Luke.

What were you doing
in the building?

You know a guy
by the name of Sadiq Samar?

You know, I don't like to talk either.

Talk too much,
people end up thinking

they heard things you never said.

But if you don't speak up,
I can't help you.

Whatever you got mixed up in,
you can turn it around.

Think for yourself.

Make a choice.

- BISHOP: He's just a kid.
- What have we got?

Abby confirmed the bayonet
was used to kill Ensign Wilt.

Partial print in blood
was a match to Samar.

Cold-blooded killer.
The Builder is adding to his résumé.

- I want to hear about this kid.
- TONY: Luke Harris.

Wendy and David Harris
of Great Falls, Virginia,

reported him missing last night.

They are his adoptive parents.

His biological parents
were originally from Iraq

but fled to Turkey
after the first Gulf War.

TONY: Put him up for adoption
after he was born.

Abby got his laptop from the police
but was pulled into something else,

so she asked us
to read you her findings.

- So read them.
- Yeah. Okay.

"Gibbs, Gibbs, Gibbs.

Luke was communicating
with Samar and other members

in a new chat room on the Dark Web.
Click." Oh, click.

BISHOP: "A tool known as TOR,
or the Onion Router,

makes it impossible to track
who's accessing the site."

Skip to the part I care about.

- She knew you were gonna say that.
- Word for word. Right there.

- It says, "Skip to--"
- Yeah.

"For added protection, Samar
constantly hops to new chat rooms."

TONY: "In fact, this new
chat room is already inactive.

I mean, it's as dead as
Sister Rosita's bowling game, Gibbs.

She had hip surgery last week.

End of findings. Click." Click.

BISHOP: We combed through
the room's content.

It confirms Luke learned about
Simek bombing the bus

shortly after it happened.

He was at the crime scene
because he was curious.

Later, Samar told Luke to go to
the building to "meet his brothers."

Gibbs, Luke has to know
how to contact Samar.

We need to get him to talk.

Hey, Gibbs.
I'm really bummed I wasn't there

to report my findings to you earlier,

but I was busy finding
other findings.

What's with the umbrella?

You know Poppy.
She's my parasol.

She goes with me every time
I leave the building and go outside.

But we'll get back to her in a minute.

First, I want to talk to you
about my friend Emilio Evans.

He works for the Crestwell
Historical Society in D.C.

What about him?

ABBY: He has a perfectly symmetrical
face. Kind of blows my mind.

And he has access to a lot
of useful historical documents.

What'd you find?

ABBY: When Samar bought
the building, it was in shambles.

He paid way more for it
than it was worth.

And Emilio and his
snowflake face found out why.

The basement of the building

was forged next to
a bunker from the 1940s.

- It's still there.
- So the bunker itself

has probably seen
its share of renovations, but still.

Samar bought the place
for the hidden storage.

Yeah. I mean, there's no telling

how many forensic gems
are in that bunker, Gibbs.

And you know how much
I love secret rooms.

You and Poppy want to
leave the lab and go to the bunker.

I'll take Tony and Bishop with me.

[SPEAKING IN ARABIC]

You speak Arabic?
That's amazing.

I learned some
key phrases on the plane.

McGEE: You think we got time
to check in?

DORNEGET: Yeah. Interpol forwarded
a new itinerary.

First meeting's in an hour.

You will remember
Matthew Rousseau.

McGEE: The Calling's
Director of Communications.

- One of their many leaders.
- Is DGSI still surveilling him?

No. We got him.

It was a joint operation
with your special forces.

Impromptu. A beautiful thing, really.

He was captured in Bordeaux.

Currently, he's being transported

to a U.S. aircraft carrier
in the Bay of Biscay.

He's wanted in the U.S. for

attempted bombing of a post office
in San Francisco, 2005.

Which is why he's being
transported back to the States.

- So he's gonna need an escort.
- Yes.

And I'll bet that escort
will get first crack

at interrogating him on the carrier.

- What are you doing?
- I am volunteering for the job.

- Almost.
- What?

Guys, talk louder.
I can't hear you back here.

He said he almost has it open.

ABBY: Okay, can you see anything?
What do you see?

What's in there?
What's in the secret room?

Abby, quiet. Have a little patience.

As soon as we clear the room,
we will invite you to look.

Bishop, follow me.

Clear!

BISHOP:
What happened in here?

ABBY:
They bombed it.

I heard you say clear,
so I just ran in like a--

Like a-- Like a cheetah.

- This is shrapnel.
- Yeah.

Some kind of test site.

The dimensions of these holes

match the specs for an S-mine.

They were planted
and then they were detonated.

Look at this.
Some kind of document.

TONY:
This looks like part of a diagram.

The cylinders connected by a line.
Samar's handy.

Could be figuring out
how to connect the mines.

That's why he tested
two at once in here.

He's modifying them into a huge,
mean Bouncing Betty on steroids.

And he has to have more.

Then where'd he take
the rest of them?

WENDY: We never met
Luke's biological parents.

It's hard to believe
that two complete strangers

can give you
the greatest gift of your life.

When did Luke start having trouble?

About two years ago.
It seemed like it happened overnight.

Kids at school found out
he was Middle Eastern.

They started to tease him.

We were worried,
so I looked at his laptop.

I saw the sites he was visiting,
the people he was talking to.

They were telling him that...

They were telling him

that all his pain
was from pretending to be American.

WENDY:
We took him to a therapist.

He was getting...
He was getting better.

DAVID:
It's okay, it's okay.

Yesterday, it got bad.

Kids at school spray-painted
some ugly words on his locker.

He came home, destroyed his room.

We didn't know until it was too late.
He was already gone.

Who was Luke before all this?

These are some of his things.

The police processed his room.
He destroyed most of it,

but he missed
what was under the bed.

Agent Gibbs, you're the first person
to ask what he was like before.

Got to know who I'm looking for.

So you can bring him back to us?

He's our baby boy.

I heard that you like
breakfast for dinner.

I'm not much good at pancakes.

Is this your house?

Yep.

Why would you bring me here
when I almost shot you?

Did you?

Oh.

Well, lots of people
who wanted to shoot me

have been in this house. Heh.

If you're not gonna eat, Luke,
milk goes back in the fridge.

I'm not gonna ask again.

I had a daughter.

She used to sit right there
at the table where you were.

She took my pocket knife
from me once.

Knife wasn't a toy
and she knew that.

She climbed up here.

She took that knife
and carved her initials

right into the back
of that cabinet there.

Then she lost the best
pocket knife that I ever had.

- What'd you do?
- Oh, I scolded her.

Grounded her.

Then I forgave her.

I'm nothing.

I'm nothing!
Yeah, everyone hates me!

Just kill me!

That's what they want,
that's what I want!

German S-mines were chosen
for their manufacturing.

Desired changes were easier to
implement than with the later models.

Ms. Sciuto analyzed the
schematics from the bunker.

As many as six mines will be
linked via encrypted Wi-Fi.

Tripwire's virtual. A pinpoint laser.

Not your dad's land mine.

TONY: Well, there was evidence
of two mines

detonated in Samar's bunker.

- By now he could have more.
- And the boy?

TONY:
Luke Harris. He's back in holding.

Likely knows how to
get in touch with Samar.

- Lost cause?
- No, he's not a lost cause.

- It'll take time to turn him around.
- VANCE: Don't have it.

Remember, DGSI intercepted
multiple communications.

Samar is not the only
Calling member

stockpiling S-mines
on American soil.

We need a line to anyone
and everyone in the game.

- We need Bayar.
- DIA won't budge.

We did some digging.

Bayar sends groceries
to an apartment every Friday.

His mother lives there in secret.

Go figure,
Agah Bayar has a mother.

He won't want her deported.
We don't need an aboveboard deal.

Blackmail Bayar to help us,
DIA's none the wiser.

- That's the plan?
- Yeah.

You got a better one, Leon?

A word of advice: Don't get caught.

I'm with Luke.
DiNozzo, you're with Bayar.

Gonna meet the pride of Turkey.

Yeah, well, he's not gonna like you.
Take Bishop.

- These are to die for.
- We need to talk.

As much as I adore
making new friends,

I worry about losing old ones.

- Gibbs is tied up.
- What do you think?

What do you mean, what does she
think? Gibbs is tied up, he sent us.

I heard you.

But I didn't like your answer.

You don't like my answer
or you don't like me?

Neither.

Gibbs really is tied up.

He sends his apologies.

You see? She dips it in sugar

and all of a sudden,
it tastes so sweet.

- BISHOP: Mr. Bayar...
- Please, call me Agah.

Agah.

We'd like to discuss your mother.

- Gibbs and I had an agreement.
- We know.

- We shook on fair terms.
- Not gonna happen.

DIA?

The problem is
we still need your help, Agah.

We need you
to reach out to your contacts

and find out who's
seeking these S-mines.

We need locations on these people.

Yes, well, I did some
research of my own, dear heart.

And I know that
you're after The Calling,

and The Calling's after the children.

That's right.

My mother is flawed,
but she's my own.

And if you ever threaten her again,

my response won't be civil.

I'll help you.
But your efforts were wasted.

I would've helped you
without payment,

and without blackmail.

- Why?
- Women and children first.

It was an absolute
we could always agree upon.

When babies are used
in the wars of men...

...then God help us all.

Duck, you all right?

Well, seeing what
once mattered to Luke Harris

makes him very real, very young.

This is my second profile
of a manipulated boy

in just a short number of days.

Before, it was just one troubled kid.

And now we see a virus
affecting our youth.

I mean, why did Luke's
frustrations bring him here,

instead of storming out of the house
and lighting up a cigarette?

Every teen is prone to rebellion.

Yeah. But then The Calling

twists that vulnerability into terror.

- Duck, I got to reach this kid.
- To find Samar.

- For himself, for his parents.
- For you.

I think I've found something
that might help.

This grotesque reading
is from The Calling forum

that Abby found on the Deep Web.

It's a virtual handbook
from Samar to his recruits.

It tells them that in order
to demonstrate their loyalty,

they must give up their old lives.

Luke trashed his room before he left.

But according to Samar,
the most important act

for a recruit is to condemn those
who are not aligned

with The Calling's ideology.

- Especially those closest to you.
- His parents.

Yeah. Which brings me
to this notebook.

Now, this is Luke's handwriting.

- A letter?
- To his adoptive parents.

The language is brutal.

Yeah, but the letter is unfinished.

He was trying to disown them.

He couldn't bring himself to finish it.

Jethro, the darkness
here is undeniable.

But what we're dealing with is a--
Well, it's a child.

Who, beneath it all,

I swear, he loves his parents
very much.

Did you write that?

- Did you write that?
- Yes.

Want to finish it
before I show them?

- To who?
- Your parents.

What's wrong? It's for them, isn't it?

You did everything
you were supposed to.

Disown everyone
who isn't The Calling.

- That's what Samar wants.
- Please don't show it to them.

- Oh, no, that's already been decided.
- Don't, all right? Don't!

Hey! You said you wanted to die.

What would your parents think
if they heard that?

You broke their hearts.

The kids at school hate me.

They kept telling me
to go back to Iraq.

- I don't know what to do anymore.
- You talk to me.

Where is Samar?

If I tell you what I know

- will you take me to see my parents?
- Yes.

I didn't want to hurt them.

I-- I don't want to hurt them.

What were you doing in the building?

Luke was there because
Samar ordered him to stay.

Gibbs got Luke to talk?

Luke went to meet
his so-called brothers,

but Samar got everyone out
before introductions.

He was afraid that
Bradley Simek's computer

- would lead the police back.
- Then why tell Luke to stay behind?

Because Samar knew the police
would hesitate to shoot a kid.

It was a trap. When we found him,

Luke was supposed to kill
whoever he could?

Yeah, let's focus
on the positive here, though.

Like the URL for
Samar's latest chat room

which Luke gave to Gibbs.

Look: "Have you heard
how Little L is feeling?"

They've got to be
talking about Luke.

Yeah, SSBUILDER-48.
That's Samar talking.

"I think Little L has the flu.

He didn't go to work,
or we would've heard about it."

Didn't go to work, didn't do his job.
Didn't kill anyone.

BISHOP:
"He needs to learn what happens

when you give in to the sickness."

They think Luke's a traitor.
He's in danger.

- Where is he?
- Gibbs took him to his parents' house.

- The door's open.
- Hey.

Hey. Stay here.

Mom! Mom. Mom.

Mom! Mom!

Dad. Dad! Dad!

No!

I know nothing about any S-mines.

Well, DGSI thought that
you were a Calling leader.

Guess the press
is gonna have a field day

when they find out
that you're only a lackey.

You ask about the United States.

You ask the wrong questions.

Then why don't you set me straight?

When you plan a big party,

there are many details
discussed over many lines.

It is impossible to keep them secret.

You left such a party
to be with me today, no?

I'm sorry you're missing
our contribution to the fun.

Guard! Open up! I need a phone!

[CELL PHONE RINGING]

McGee. Hey, we're on break.
I was just about to--

Dorneget, there's
a threat to the hotel.

They know you're there. You need to
get everyone out. Evacuate now.

Everybody out! Go! Go!

- What is happening?
- Threat to the hotel. Go. Go. Go.

Go!

[SPEAKING IN ARABIC]

No! No! No!

MAN [ON TV]: We bring you
the latest on the explosion

that occurred less than
40 minutes ago

at the Hotel Al Maha
in downtown Cairo.

All right, I need you to call back
as soon as you know his status.

Thank you. Anything?

- On hold again.
- GIBBS: Stay with him.

He needs somebody with him.

- Dorneget?
- He was rushed to the hospital.

- We're waiting on an update.
- McGee?

TONY:
He's circling back to Cairo.

The agent afloat's
escorting Rousseau back here.

Boss, Rousseau had
prior knowledge of the explosion.

The intel suggests multiple
mines with a laser tripwire.

This was The Calling. Matter
of time before they take credit.

- Where are we?
- With what?

With anything, DiNozzo!
I want the head of this thing!

Who is he? What is his play?

Why is he hitting Cairo
when our intel says here?

- Gibbs.
- What?

I just got confirmation.

Dorneget didn't make it.

Where are we with Bayar?

He has something for us,
wants to set a meet.

Then do it.

All right, what do you have?

I'll wait for Agent Bishop.

- She's on the phone.
- Yes, I can see that.

Look, I haven't had a great day.

I know you don't like me.

Can we move on?

Don't be so sensitive.

Two shining stallions
in one tiny area.

When we're together, the world's
stables are knocked off-balance.

Sorry about that.

I have identified
three people seeking S-mines.

The particulars are inside.

Cairo is just the beginning.
The attack tonight was just a test run.

- Test run for what?
- The Calling are gathering S-mines

in all major cities around the world.

They are planning a coordinated,
international attack.

And if they succeed,

the results will be catastrophic.

- When?
- I have no idea.

We need you to stay on this, Agah.
We need you to keep digging.

I have my limits.

Pro bono only feels good
for so long.

Well... Down!

[BAYAR GROANS]

He needs an ambulance.

Okay. It's okay.

Details are trickling in.

Bayar is in surgery.
Doctors are optimistic.

As far as Cairo,
I did speak to SecNav, she--

Gibbs?

I need you with me.

I'm here.

Reports to SecNav are confirmed.

Agent Dorneget led
a last-minute evacuation.

He saved a lot of lives.

He would have
wanted you to know that.

His family?

It's just his mother.
She's been notified.

She's been out of the country.
Travel is complicated.

- There anything we can do for her?
- Yeah, actually, there is.

She won't be able to make it
before the plane arrives from Cairo.

Well, we'll be there for him.

WOMAN:
Funeral detail, attention.

Forward march.

DUCKY: We cannot always build
the future for our youth...

...but we can build
our youth for the future.

FDR's words were never
more urgent.

Gibbs, you all right?

MAN:
Forward march.

We weren't expecting you
until tomorrow.

- We would have waited.
- I know.

Gibbs?

CIA Officer Joanna Teague,
Agent Dorneget's mother.

GIBBS:
Officer Teague.

We're sorry for your loss.

Ned would have appreciated
the pomp and circumstance.

But my son is dead,
and his killers are still out there.

I'd say we've got some work to do.
