NCIS: Hawai'i (2021–…): Season 2, Episode 12 - Shields Up - full transcript

Yeah, honey,
it's so beautiful here.

And I was thinking,
when I get back,

maybe we should do that trip
you're always talking about.

Yeah, winery.

Yeah. You go ahead and book it.

Ask your mom to watch the dogs.

I love you, too.

Well, did HPD give
you any more info?

Okay. All right, well, you
and Kai head to the beach.

I'll meet you there.

Yeah.



Mm.

Negative. That's good.

Can't be right. I feel
like I got hit by a truck.

It's probably just the flu.

Flu?

Yeah, it was all the rage
back in the olden days.

So, does that mean I can take
two Tylenol and go to school?

Definitely not.

I would actually rather
take my AP Physics exam

than feel this achy.

Is that a sign of maturity?

Maybe you just like physics.

All right, drink lots of fluids.

Don't just sip it, okay?



I got to go, but when I come
back, I will make you soup.

Arroz caldo?

You remember.

It's the best thing ever.

That's the fever talking.

All right. Mm!

You might not want to do
that. Oh, come on, now.

I love you.

Love you.

Don't forget. Fluids.

Yeah, yeah.

Victim is Captain
Willem Dennison.

Member of the Marine Force Recon

and part of the Black Diamonds.

Well, what's Dennison
doing out here?

There are plenty of nice beaches

closer to K-Bay.

We don't know.

Robbery
gone wrong maybe?

Doesn't look like it.

HPD found his rental car nearby.

Wallet, watch, and wedding ring
were on the passenger seat.

Cell phone and 9mm
were on the body.

Sounds like a suicide.

I'd agree...

except the gun was
still in his waistband.

And these are some
serious blows to the head.

Oh. I suppose the idea
that he came out here

to kill himself and
was unlucky enough

to run into a psychopath
beforehand seems unlikely.

Any witnesses?

No. Just the fishermen who
found him this morning.

You guys go to K-Bay,
talk to his platoon.

I'll have Casualty
Assistance notify his wife.

I'll follow up with
her afterwards.

Let's find out who
wanted this Marine dead.

Don't move!

Clear!

Clear!

PTL.

Looks like you got 'em all.

This is a closed exercise.

Master Sergeant
Justin Baxter?

We're with NCIS. We
need to speak with you.

Why?

We have news.

All right.

Everybody, listen up.

NCIS has got something to say.

Might be best if we,
uh, talk to you alone.

Oh, no, we're a team.

Good news, bad news, we
deal with it together.

We regret to inform you

Captain Dennison was
found dead this morning.

Damn.

We're gonna need to ask
you all some questions.

Whatever you need, sir.

Water break. Everybody out.

Yes, sir.

What exactly
happened to the captain?

He was beaten to
death on a leeward beach.

Any idea why he would
be way out there?

No.

No, any of you guys know?

Okay.

Was Dennison having trouble
with anyone on base?

Not that I'm aware of.

Did Dennison mention having
problems with anybody off base?

Uh...

I can't imagine.

I mean, Captain Dennison
was a great guy.

Everybody loved him.

I was actually talking

to your Marine here.

I agree with the
Master Sergeant, sir.

Somebody killed him.

Any information you have
may help us figure out who.

So we're gonna need to speak
to each one of you separately.

Absolutely, sir,

uh, as soon as you get
permission from Command.

We're on a schedule.
Everybody fall in.

You know what's happening here.

Yeah, they're being really
uncooperative but in a nice way.

They're going shields up.

I saw it all the time
when I was with CID.

They're refusing to answer
questions to protect their own.

To protect who? Not their
captain, that's for sure.

Corporal Grange?

Yes, sir. Did you notice

Captain Dennison's
behavior change recently?

Not that I saw.

He was always upbeat.

A really...

Great guy?

Yes, sir.

Hey.

Yeah. Listen.

I was in the Marine Corps
before joining NCIS,

so I get where
you're coming from.

You want to protect your unit,
but, look, don't you want

to help us figure out what
happened to your captain?

Of course we do.

If we knew something,
we'd do something.

Whoa.

Nice swing, Doc.

We could use you
on the NCIS team.

"Hitting is an art but
not an exact science."

Rod Carew.

Uh, Minnesota Twins,
second base, right?

Yes, 1991 Hall of Fame. Wow.

I-I wouldn't have expected
you to be a baseball fan.

Well, just the Twins.

Only way to connect with my
family growing up in Red Wing.

I spent a summer memorizing
the stats of every player,

major and minor,
from 1977 to 1983.

I was hoping it would make me
feel like less of the odd child.

Did it help?

Only freaked them out more.

Wow.

Captain Dennison had

severe blunt force
trauma to the head.

Wound pattern suggests
the murder weapon

was rounded, like a bat.

"Like a bat," so
you aren't sure?

Oh, no, I'm sure.

I found traces of wood
particles in the wound.

Grains of Northern White Ash,

popular in forests
in the northeast.

Narrows it down to
about 150 models.

Well, whatever bat was used,
it was no match for a gun,

which our Marine
had but never used.

He didn't have a chance.

The first blow was likely
to the back of the head.

Causing nerve damage that
would incapacitate him.

So, a surprise attack. Yes.

And the second blow came
from a different direction.

Made direct contact

with the frontal lobe.

It's possible you're looking

for two attackers.

Or one elite switch hitter.

This team of Black Diamonds

has been working
together since 2017.

After a successful
mission in Afghanistan,

their reputation
was only heightened

by their next
assignment in Niger.

What happened? They saved
a bunch of civilians

from a fire started
by insurgents.

And they got a lot of press.

They've been the jewel of
the Marine Corps ever since.

Huh.

When I spoke to Dennison's wife,

she told me that he was
looking to transfer out.

Why do that if they
were so successful?

Seems like the mood
changed after that mission.

Yeah, records indicate there
was discord amongst the ranks.

Several members were written
up for insubordination.

Nothing too serious
on the surface,

except for this guy.

Former Black Diamond

Sergeant Ellis Kane.

Once on the fast track,

but after the fire in Niger,

Kane barely avoided
court-martial

for assaulting Captain Dennison.

What was the fight about?

Neither would say.

Kane took a general discharge

to avoid court-martial.

Okay, where's he now?

No idea.

Fell off the map since
leaving the Marine Corps.

Maps?

Who needs maps? I got maps.

What?

You started without
me. Makes me insecure.

What'd you get
off Dennison's cell?

Geolocations on
Dennison's phone,

placing him at an unusual spot
the day before his murder.

In North Shore?

Not just the North Shore,

a rando locale in the middle
of Mokuleia Forest Reserve.

Were there any training
exercises happening out there?

No. In fact,

the rest of his unit
was playing volleyball

on the beach while he was gone.

Okay. Kai, Ernie, you
guys do some digging.

See what you can get on
Sergeant Kane. Jesse?

You and I are going
to Mokuleia Forest.

All right, Alex, but however
much water you think you need,

just double it.

I love you.

Remember when our kids
were little and they would

come home with all these
weird-sounding sicknesses?

The croup?

Oh, remember that hand,
foot and mouth one?

Oh, gross.

I kind of miss it. Hmm?

Not Alex being sick, but...

him needing me and wanting
me to take care of him.

Trust me, he's always going to
want you to take care of him,

just in different ways.

Like "Can I get 20 bucks
for a date" kind of ways?

Exactly.

Except these days
what date costs $20?

Nothing but birds and trees.

Yeah, but there's
got to be some reason

that Dennison drove an hour
and 15 minutes from K-Bay.

You hear that?

Hello?

Where'd he go? I don't know.

Drop your weapon.

Hands in the air.

Sergeant Ellis Kane?

No.

Brother Ellis Kane.

I serve the Lord now.

You don't seem
surprised to hear

about Captain Dennison's murder.

None of us know when
our time will come.

Only that it will come.

Did you know his time
was about to come?

Because we have
reason to believe

that Dennison paid you
a visit two nights ago.

He did.

And what'd you two talk about?

Old times.

We were part of the same unit.

We did two tours
together, but...

clearly you already know that.

We also know that when you
left the Black Diamonds,

it wasn't exactly on good terms.

Thankfully, I made
peace with my past.

I found a higher calling.

Before or after you assaulted

Captain Dennison in Niger?

Look, can you explain
why Dennison came to see you

and then 24 hours later
was found beaten to death

on a beach six miles from here?

No. I cannot.

Cannot or will not?

Because I'm getting a
strong "shields up" vibe

from you, Brother. And for the
life of me, I can't think why.

Okay, where were you
last night at 8:00 p.m.?

I was in my cell.

Reading.

I was in bed by 9:00.

Can someone confirm
that? No, I was alone.

So you
won't tell us why

you met with Dennison the
night before he was murdered

and you have no alibi
for his actual murder.

That's my call to worship.

May I go?

The abbot doesn't like it

if we're late.

Sure.

Just don't plan on leaving
the island without calling us.

Okay, Brother?

Yeah.

Well, what do you think?

I think we should be
taking him with us.

He's gonna be a tough nut to
crack without more information.

Like? Like what happened

between Kane and
Dennison in Niger.

And did it follow
them here to Oahu.

Are you ready to talk Kane?

Yeah, absolutely, but first...

who's that?

Uh, the Marine turned monk,

person of interest
in our homicide.

No, I mean who's that?

I have no idea.

Is she unpacking?

Who's that?

I was hoping you knew.

No idea.

Is she unpacking?

Maybe she's lost.

Or moving in.

What are you doing?

I'm gonna act like the
professional interrogator I am

and ask.

Can I help you?

Oh, gosh, no.

I'm so sorry about the mess.

I was just looking for
my comfier combat boots.

Just got off the plane.

Oh, from?

Guantanamo Bay. They
didn't tell you guys?

They should've told you that.

Left at 0300, had to
refuel in Mexico City. Oh.

Hot. So hot.

But doesn't matter
'cause I'm here now.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah. All
that, all that way.

Sorry, you are...

Sergeant
Summer Westmore.

Marine CID coming in
from Guantanamo Bay.

Chief of CID sent her to us.

I, um, I found the
1039 form online.

In the place where
we keep... forms.

Nice boots, by the way.

Um... why did your
chief send you to us?

I'm here about Captain Dennison.

Because...?

I know why he was murdered.

On May 21, 2019,
the Black Diamonds

were doing a routine
house-to-house search

for insurgents in Niamey, Niger.

A fire broke out in a civilian
dwelling, killing two people.

Yeah, we're aware.

They were heroes, saved almost
a dozen others from that fire.

Master Sergeant Justin
Baxter was even awarded

the Navy and Marine Corps Medal.

I have reason to believe
that's not the whole story.

Are you saying they
didn't save these civilians?

No, that part's true.

Shortly after the incident,

I received a tip from
a member of their unit.

He claimed he witnessed
Justin Baxter start the fire.

Okay, this witness
offer up a motive?

Earlier in the day, a
local gave Baxter lip.

That young man and his
mother both died in the fire.

Baxter murdered them?

For giving him attitude?

According to my witness.

Was your witness
Sergeant Ellis Kane?

Yes.

How'd you know?

He lives on the island.

He joined a
Benedictine monastery

after leaving the Marine Corps.

Is this what led
to the altercation

between Kane and
Dennison back in Niger?

No one corroborated Kane's
claim against Baxter.

And Captain Dennison
wasn't willing

to investigate the
incident further.

So, it could be that
Kane was pushed out

for making a complaint.

Which would explain the
bad blood between them.

Yeah, but not why Dennison
came to see him two nights ago.

Look, if Kane was trying to
do the right thing in Niger,

why wouldn't he just tell us?

Maybe he started the fire,

blamed it on Baxter,

and Dennison realized it
and came to confront him.

Which means we have two
solid suspects in Dennison's murder.

Let's get Ernie on Kane
and Baxter's movements

over the last few days.
Sergeant Westmore?

Down to stay, give
us a hand? Sure.

Guys, Niger is the key to
what happened to Dennison.

Let's get to the bottom of it.

A sunny September 8th morning,

Kristen and Robbie
Jacobs drove...

Alex, I'm home.

Hey.

Soup will be ready in
like 45 minutes, okay?

Oh, no need, Jane.

Soup is covered for
our little patient.

Cassandra. How sweet.

How you feeling, buddy?

Still not great. Yeah.

Probably stress from
everything he has going on.

You know it wreaks havoc
on the immune system.

Or he's just sick.

My mom. Always
something, am I right?

We've been watching a
Crime Trail marathon.

Know what I've learned?

That it's always the husband?

Mm-hmm.

Still warm but a little better.

Oh, one sec.

Hey, Ernie, what's up?

Trying to
do everything I can

to track down Brother
Kane's whereabouts.

He doesn't have a cell phone

and there are no cameras
at the monastery.

But...?

On a lark, I looked
at the closest

CCTV footage I could find.

A gas station a mile from
the monastery where I found

Brother Kane using a pay phone

an hour before
Dennison's murder.

He said he was alone in
his cell at 8:00 p.m.

Well, that's
definitely not true.

I'm working on getting a record
from the pay phone company,

but it's gonna take a beat.

Okay. Jesse and I
will talk to him.

Let me know if you find
anything else. Bye.

I got to go back to work.

No worries, Mom. Cass has it.

Hmm.

Sure she does.

See you.

But they were no match
for a bloodthirsty killer.

Of course I'm all packed,

but I don't think
we'll need much.

Baby, I
already told you.

I'll stop by later.
Okay.

Okay, bye, I got to go now.

Brother Kane.

Are you here to arrest me?

Look, we know that
you lied to us

about your alibi the night
of Dennison's murder.

I didn't murder
Captain Dennison.

Then why didn't you
tell us the truth?

I'm sorry I'm unable to give you

the answers that you want.

Unable or unwilling?

Look, you need to tell
us everything you know

about Captain Dennison and
what happened in Niger,

or we have no choice
but to...

Someone's there.

Hey, stop!

Stay here.

Over there.

You go left.

We lost 'em.

You think Kane's safe here?

'Cause, based on
the two guys I saw

in the kitchen
earlier making bread,

it's not a, uh, "make a
circle, protect your dude"

kind of place.

Make a circle,
protect your dude?

It's not really biblical, is it?

Sure. It's from the, uh,
first Book of Ass Whupping.

Well, someone should
probably stay.

Considering it's a men-only
place, I'm guessing that's me.

That's too bad.

Cassandra's seeing someone
else and Alex doesn't know.

Oof. Yeah.

I'm sorry.

I think I'd rather
sleep in the woods

and guard Brother Kane
than go home tonight.

You stay here, work on Kane.

He knows something or
he wouldn't be a target.

Oh, good, you're back.

Alex is sleeping.
I'm heading out.

Why don't you stay for a minute?

Did Alex ever tell you
what I did before NCIS?

Like, he may have mentioned it.

It sounds like it was
pretty intense stuff.

It was.

You know, we used to have a
word for that feeling we had

in our gut when
something wasn't right.

Like... a situation, a person,

or just a shady building.

We called it...

spoozy.

Okay.

Now, the name came from
my very first asset.

Amad Spoozy.

Amad was somebody
that I relied on.

He would tell me information
about the bad guys.

But the problem was,

he was telling the bad
guys information about me.

Oh, wow. Not cool.

That is spoozy.

Totally spoozy.

Now, the problem with playing
both sides is that eventually

someone finds out.

Who found out?

Oh, everyone.

My asset called
me, he was scared.

And I tried to help,
but it was too late.

Someone threw a grenade
through his bedroom window.

That phone call you
had with your mom?

That was spoozy.

It's not what you think.

So, you're not...

going on a trip with a
guy, abandoning Alex?

Okay, yes, it's what you think.

But I'm not abandoning
Alex, he's abandoning me.

He's going to college

with no gap year, no Europe.

He thinks we'll stay together,
but I know how this goes.

And he'll move on.

So you're moving on first.

Are you gonna tell him?

Mm-mm.

Because I have to tell him.

Otherwise you'll throw a
grenade through my window?

Okay, that wasn't the
point of the story.

Hey. You and Alex had a
really nice relationship.

Maybe it needs to
come to an end.

But it is always better
when things end well.

Jesse in a monastery?

Please tell me they're
making him wear the robes.

Yeah, well, he hadn't
packed a bag, so maybe.

I mean, look, I think he
would look good in the robes.

Jedi-esque. Please.

More like "Sun City
walk to the bottom

of the driveway for
the paper"-esque.

I don't understand any
of your references,

but I like 'em.

You'll get there, friend.

Okay, so...

it does seem like your theory
that Captain Dennison's murder

was about the fire
in Niger is spot-on.

The question is
whether you're right

about Baxter, or
if other members

of the Black Diamonds
are involved.

We need to separate them,
see if anyone's conscience

is stronger than
their Marine fidelity.

That's a good idea.

Hey, Ernie?

Photoshop a picture
of Jesse in the robes?

No.

See if I can find any secrets
the unit might be keeping?

Yes.

The abbot said it was
okay if you stayed.

Thanks.

What did he say
about the intruder?

I may or may not have been
as forthright about that.

Lying to the abbot.

I don't know my bylaws, but...

I'm pretty sure that
goes against monk code.

I follow the rituals, I try
hard to keep my focus on God.

But I am a work in progress.

Why'd you end up here?

The outside world was, uh...

too loud for me.

Are you hoping to shut it out?

Yeah, something like that.

You know, Brother...

some things refuse
to be shut out.

Whatever happened in Niger...

you can ritual and pray
all you want, but...

it's not gonna make it go away.

You're right.

And some of the
things that I've seen

can't be unseen.

Can't be undone.

Like what Master Sergeant Baxter
did to those people in Niger.

I should go to chapel.

"If we confess

"our sins...

"He is faithful and just
to forgive us our sins

and cleanse us from
all unrighteousness."

You still remember
the scriptures

you memorized in
Catholic school.

Well, mostly I
remember that the nuns,

they didn't like me very much.

If the nuns
liked you too much,

you might've rebelled
against God and not them.

You saying that was strategy?

I'm saying it worked.

You still remember verses.

Many drift away and
they forget it all.

Nah.

I think it's more
just habit than belief

at this point.

I think that's the
story you tell yourself.

Yeah. Maybe.

What story do you tell yourself

to make what happened to
Captain Dennison seem okay?

Special Agent in
Charge Jane Tennant.

You've met Agent Holman.

Heard you were
making the rounds.

May we come in?

Military quarters. Do
you even have to ask?

No, just...

being polite.

We're talking to
everybody in the unit.

And, uh, we heard
you stayed home sick.

Oh, yeah, I'm fine.

Last night was a
little rocky, though.

Bad fish maybe.

You mind putting that down?

Master Sergeant Baxter.

Put the knife down or
we will consider it

an overt threat against us.

You're wound pretty tight,
aren't you, Jane Tennant?

On this island,

I think you'll find
that people know

I am wound just right.

Some of the guys...
They mentioned a dispute

about the fire in
Niger that got you

that Navy and
Marine Corps medal.

You mean Kane?

Why would you think that?

Dennison told me he was
going up to see him.

Someplace up north. He
was acting all holy.

Wonder why he didn't
mention that before.

Kane isn't what he seems.

You didn't answer Agent
Holman's question.

They made it look like
he left voluntarily.

All right? But he was
a danger to the unit.

He couldn't handle
being in country.

And I didn't tell you because
Dennison decided a long time ago

that he was gonna
cover for the guy.

It was his choice.

Now it seems like you
guys are looking for

somebody else to blame.

No.

No, just the truth.

Is that yours?

Yeah.

Mind if we take it?

Do you really think
that I'd keep the bat

if I beat someone
to death with it?

Not sure.

But I'm gonna take it anyway.

Okay.

Hey. You were
looking for me? Yeah.

Half hour ago. What
took you so long?

This is both far from the office

and underground.

And the couple people
I asked for directions

were confused about
where you were.

Or who you were.

That's the way I like it.

Anyway...

I took all the information
you had in your files

and created a
schematic of the fire.

This is obviously the house.

That looks right.

I did a hand-drawn version

when I visited the scene.

Yep, it was excellent.

Thank you.

Except for the complete
lack of detail.

Took me forever to
find this photo.

An aid worker posted it
to a social media account

a year before the
building burned down.

That's it there.

What do you see?

Well, the street's
on the other side,

so the door's over there.

This is the back and
Kane would've been here.

He wasn't near a window.

He couldn't have seen
Baxter start the fire.

Who's that?

Corporal Nadiya Grange.

Part of the Cultural
Support Team.

She's your witness.

Brother Kane is
covering for her.

Hey, Ernie.

Hey. We need
to talk about Niger.

Yeah, well, we just
got back, so...

I know. We're
looking right at you.

Then why are we
talking on the phone?

One, two,

three. Ah.

Nadiya Grange is
your real witness.

Brother Kane is
just her mouthpiece.

Heading back to
K-Bay to pick her up.

Don't bother. I
already called.

Nadiya hasn't been
seen since yesterday.

So maybe getting rid
of the real witness

is why Baxter called in sick.

According to the Black Diamonds,
Nadiya headed off base alone.

Said she needed to
go to the drugstore

for some personal items.

Bet that shut down
follow-up questions.

How'd she travel?

Got a car out of the motor
pool, it's still missing.

The motor pool.

Dennison rented a car to go to
the monastery and the beach,

but we came up empty
on ride services

and rental cars for our killer.

Maybe...

Baxter took a car
from base. Yes.

Go see if you can
find out which one

and if there are any forensics
that tie to our dead captain.

Okay.

Kane.

Where's Nadiya?

Excuse me? You're hiding her.

She was the one that took off
into the woods last night.

How did...? We don't
have time for this.

We know you didn't see Master
Sergeant Baxter set the fire,

Nadiya did.

I can't talk...

She's not on base.

I set her up at an outbuilding
on the edge of the property.

Show me.

Corporal?

Yes, sir?

I'm with NCIS.

Sergeant Westmore, CID.

We need you to get
us some motor logs.

Yes, Sergeant.

What do you need?

Two days ago,
looking for any car

Master Sergeant
Baxter signed out.

I'll need to talk to
my CO. No, you don't.

We're investigating a murder

and we are requesting
evidence related to it.

We don't need
anyone's permission.

I just think it would be a...

You will not go shields
up on me, Marine.

I'm not an outsider.

I'm a Marine CID
with a job to do.

Just like you.

Master Sergeant Baxter...

Is an ass, Corporal. We know.

Look, there is not gonna
be any blowback to you.

Or your CO, not if
we all do our jobs.

I'll be right back.

Double-time it, Corporal.

I love being a Marine.

I get why you and Nadiya
would be targets, but why Dennison?

Nadiya was too afraid of
Baxter to come forward

with what she saw in Niger.

So I said that I would.

But when Dennison
looked into it,

no one would
corroborate my story.

Because they didn't know or
because they were afraid of him?

Maybe both.

So I called CID and I resigned.

A few months later, I came here.

Why wasn't that the
end of the story?

Me saying that Baxter was dirty

created a new
prism for Dennison.

Everything that
Baxter said or did

seemed wrong, so Dennison

started to believe my story.

Nadiya's story was true.

Ah, so he was gonna reopen
the CID investigation.

Yeah.

But he wanted to
talk to Baxter first.

Give him a chance to come clean.

I told Dennison about Nadiya.

And as soon as his
car drove away,

I realized that I
put her in danger.

So I called her and I
told her to come hide.

I should've stopped Dennison
from confronting him.

All right, well, let's get
Nadiya safely back to Pearl.

After that...

Baxter will get
what's coming to him.

We processed the car
Baxter signed out,

we found trace evidence.

Blood and wood consistent
with the baseball bat.

Forensics says the bat
we gave them was clean.

No way to prove it
was the murder weapon.

The chain of evidence to
the motor pool vehicle

is a problem, too.

Other people used
it after Baxter.

Still, if the blood in the car

is a DNA match to
Captain Dennison,

that, along with
Nadiya's testimony,

is a strong circumstantial case.

Solid enough for JAG.

I'm headed to the monastery
to help out Jesse.

You two go pick up Baxter.

Copy.

Nadiya.

Get down!

Is there a window in that shack?

Yeah, on the other side.

All right, I'll cover you.

Get in the door, get Nadiya
back to the monastery.

You'll run out of
bullets, I promise you.

Baxter won't.

He will kill you.

I'll give you as
much time as I can.

Let me cover you. No.

This is my job. Go.

But this is my fault.

I ran away. I cannot
run away again.

Okay.

Let's try something else then.

Drop your weapon!

Get her back to the monastery.

I'll get the bastard.
I'm going with you.

Let's go, Brother.
Man's got a job to do.

God watch over you, Jesse.

Damn it.

Nope.

Double nope.

Ah...

I was scared.

I saw how he treated
people in country

and I had no expectation he
would treat me differently.

What Brother
Kane told me.

Is that what you saw? Yes.

Through the window, I saw
Master Sergeant Baxter

pour cooking fuel
over the furniture

and fabric in the house
and set it on fire.

Was anyone from
the unit with him?

No.

He told us
to cover the exits.

And keep the other
villagers from approaching.

Soon as I realized what was
happening, I yelled "Fire."

But when I got to the door,

he was coming out
with two children.

And directing other Marines to
come back to get the others.

They got everyone, except...

The young
man who had given him

a hard time and his mother.

Baxter claimed
the kid set the blaze

as soon as he
stepped in the house.

I'm so sorry, Kane.

I put you in a
terrible position.

And now Captain Dennison
is dead because of me.

People
are dead because

of Sergeant Baxter.

Thanks to the three of you,

he's gonna go to trial

and be put in prison for
the rest of his life.

That doesn't do any
of them any good.

No.

But it's what we can do now.

Did your hearing check out okay?

After that grenade?
What's that?

I'm kidding, it's fine.

I just wanted to say thank you.

If it wasn't for
you and your team,

I might've spent
the rest of my life

trying to make penance
for... for running away.

And it never would
have been enough.

I'm not so sure. I
think eventually,

like those honeybees of yours,

you would have
found your way home.

Yeah, maybe.

And I'm gonna pray
for you, Jesse.

That you find the peace
that you crave as well.

Thanks.

But, uh, I'm fine.

Mm-mm.

There's a darkness
behind your smile.

I see it.

And I'm pretty sure
others see it as well.

I don't know why
it's there, but...

I bet you do.

Take care.

St. Benedict.

You got to go with
your mascot.

May I?

Grant Jesse, Lord God,
a vision of the world

where peace is built on
justice, and justice on love.

Give Jesse the courage to work
toward this vision for himself

and all of Your creation.

Amen.

Amen.

So...

where you off to next?

Back to Gitmo, then who knows?

Okay.

Well, we would be
happy to have you

back at Pearl anytime.

Hey.

Wait.

You almost forgot these.

That's okay.

I always like to leave
a pair of combat boots

wherever I solve a case.

Really?

No.

Hey. You're vertical.

Feeling better. Sort of.

No Cassandra?

We broke up.

Do you want to talk about it?

Not really. Okay.

You've had a rough couple days.

She said we're on
different journeys.

"Journeys." I don't want to
harvest pineapples in Thailand.

You know? A-And
once I'm in college,

the time difference alone...

Yeah. Just doesn't make sense.

Or make it easier.

So, college, huh?

Don't make it
weird, Mom. Okay.

The
investigators pressed Truman

for information about
Darla's disappearance.

But... to this day
Truman maintains

his innocence in
Darla's disappearance.

So, how much of a time
difference are we talking?
