NCIS: Los Angeles (2009–…): Season 12, Episode 10 - The Frogman's Daughter - full transcript
When Sam's daughter, Kam, is kidnapped after leading citywide protests, he will stop at nothing to find her. Also, Deeks rejoins NCIS and Callen searches for answers about Anna.
You're coming back next week?
There's a lot I want
to catch you up on.
Okay, that's great, Kam.
Everything okay?
Everything's good. Really good.
I got to go. Love you, Dad.
I love you, too, baby.
[muffled screaming]
What about my phone call, huh?
TYLER:
Hey!
Quiet in three!
ERICA:
Man, we don't have
to be quiet.
Yeah, you want me to be quiet?
First you let me
talk to my lawyer!
Do you hear me?
Not until you let me
talk to my lawyer.
CARLOS:
If you know what's good
for you, son...
ISAIAH:
Son? Are you kidding me
right now?
Is anyone else listening
to this fascist?
Fascist.
ISAIAH:
You want me
to be quiet?
First, you tell me
why I'm locked up.
ERICA:
Yeah.
Then you let me call
my family and explain
why I disappeared.
Hey, ese?
This is your last warning.
Or what?
I have rights.
We all have rights.
You can't keep us in here.
Please shut up.
Do you hear me?
[Tyler laughs]
[groaning]
Yeah.
Yeah, we heard you all right.
♪
I cannot hold. I've been
on hold for 15 minutes.
This is an emergency.
WOMAN [over phone]:
I'm sorry, please hold.
Oh, hey, Sam. Do you know
where we keep the back stock
of kitchen supplies?
I am jonesing for a chai tea.
Oh, sorry, you're on the phone.
I'm on hold. It's the
bottom drawer on the left.
Oh, thanks.
Is everything okay?
I've been trying to reach
my daughter all morning
and the school's giving me
the runaround.
Have you tried texting her?
I hear it's all the rage
with the kids these days.
Yes, I texted her.
Right.
Of course.
I was just making sure.
You know, maybe she's just busy.
Keating Academy
is pretty rigorous.
And it's her senior year.
[line ringing]
KAMRAN: You've reached Kam,
leave a message.
Kam and I talked last night.
She wanted to tell me
something when she got to L.A.
Now I can't reach her.
Something's not right.
You know,
I was a daughter in high school
once upon a time
and, uh, sometimes
I just didn't want
to talk to my dad.
Can I get you a chai tea?
No, thank you, Fatima.
Okay. Yeah. Of course.
DEEKS:
Kens.
Deeks, no.
Yeah, but I need you to know
that you're perfect.
God, not now, Deeks.
Yeah, but it's true.
Look, I have to figure out a
way to get through my workday,
so can we please talk
about this tonight?
Of course, but you need to know
there's nothing wrong with you.
Well, that little paper in
your hand says otherwise.
This? No, no.
This-this is nothing.
It's like, it's like,
you just got to--
it's like taking a supplement.
Yeah, well, it doesn't feel
like nothing when you're
the one who has to take
the hormone shots.
Yeah, no. I-I know,
I'm just, uh...
I know you want to
talk about this.
And we will, I promise. I just,
I just-- I need time
to process this, okay?
So can we just not
talk about it right now?
Here, you just-- drive.
Eric. You're still here.
Oh, yeah. Still here.
Navy was so happy with my
upgraded version of Kaleidoscope
that they asked me to look at
what other systems
I could optimize.
Cool.
Yeah.
[chuckles]
[exhales]
Why are you looking at me?
I'm not looking at you.
You just did it again.
What?
Nothing.
Do not make me pull rank.
You don't have a rank.
You barely have
a contractor's pass.
Oh, so now
we're getting technical?
Okay, fine.
Talk to me about these glasses.
What about these glasses?
They're yellow.
Oh, you noticed.
Everyone's noticed.
What? They block the blue light
from LED screens.
Plus,
red was a no-go.
It's bad with my skin tone.
Blue is already
claimed by Bono.
Green is just weird.
Purple's like "what?"
And I'm not ready
for sunglasses indoors.
Yet. Baby steps.
So you've put no thought
into it.
Not at all.
[beeping]
Hey. We got a case?
No.
Then why aren't we talking
about my glasses?
Well, because Homeland Security
needs our help with
the protest tonight.
What kind of help?
I don't know.
I guess we'll find out.
I'll have Rountree meet DHS
at the boatshed.
Good idea.
Oh.
NCIS Agent Devin Rountree.
DHS Agent Megan Merkel.
S-Sorry, what?
It's "Merkel." With an E.
[laughs]
That's crazy.
I-I thought you said M...
I know.
Yeah, but y-- has anyone
ever told you that you-you
kind of look like...They have.
[whispers]:
That is so crazy.
It's actually very unfortunate.
[stammers]
Uh, how can I help you?
The protest planned for tonight.
Homeland Security
is coordinating
a joint federal task force
to assist
with local authorities.
Assist them with what?
Directing traffic?
It's gonna be
a peaceful protest.
I think that's
a little idealistic.
No, it's realistic.
The-the protest is about
equality and racial justice.
But I'm sure
the protesters
would love our protection.
Well, this request comes
directly from my director,
and the Secretary of Defense,
Secretary of the Navy,
the director of NCIS.
Oh.
There are concerns
about armed counterprotesters
showing up tonight.
So, to be clear,
it's not about the protesters,
it's about people showing up
who could pose a threat
to what would be
a peaceful protest.
Sure. If you want
to get technical.
[laughs]:
I'm not trying to get technical.
I'm just trying to get it right.
[laughs softly]
I feel like
we're getting off
on the wrong foot.
No, no. It's...
Agent Rountree,
can NCIS help us
gather intelligence
about militia groups
who may pose a problem tonight?
Sure.
If you want to get technical.
[laughs softly]
Oh, good morning.
Wouldn't go up there if I were you.
[chuckles]
We past formal greetings now?
Sorry. Good morning.
Don't go up there.
What's going on up-up there?
I'm not getting involved.
Okay, well, now I'm curious,
so I'm gonna go see
what's going on up there.
Don't say I didn't warn you.
I'm not asking you.
I'm telling you.
Hey, Sam, Eric.
What are you guys up to?
Nothing.Well, it's not not
nothing.
Yeah, well, Fatima seems
to think it's something.
I got this.
All right, cool.
Uh, Rountree, Rountree,
please don't go.
Just stay here.
I'm trying to convince
my friend Eric here
to check in on Kam
for me. That's all.
And by "check in," you mean...?
Use federal technology
to invade Kam's privacy
and locate her
exact whereabouts.
Yes, correct.
Something's not right with Kam.
Well, have you tried
texting her?
She's not responding.
All right, well,
no disrespect.
Does that mean
you get to co-opt...
SAM:
No disrespect,
but it's none of your business.
ROUNTREE:
You're right. You're right.
But are you sure
you want to do this?
I need to do this.
Then let's do it.
Thank you. Kam's number
is 310-555-0158.
[tablet beeps]
Uh-oh.
What? What's going on?
I figured out what's wrong
with Kam's phone.
It's off-line.
Sam, Sam. Slow down.
Maybe there's
a logical reason,
you know, why Kam
didn't call you back.
Hanna house rule number four:
always return a phone call
within 12 hours.
It's been 14 hours
and 28 minutes.
It's not like Kam to break
a house rule.
Well, maybe she lost her phone
or she dropped it and broke it.
Already thought of that.
The school called back.
She missed her classes
yesterday.
I'm gonna fly up
to San Francisco.
I'm gonna drive to her school.
I'm gonna find her.
And I'll be back
when I know Kam is safe.
[exhales] This is
the first time I'm hearing
of the Hanna house rules.
How many are there?
52.
52. Damn.
You got an app for that?
Hey.
When you have kids,
the first thing you'll do
is put a system in place
to keep your children safe.
What's rule number one?
Never lie.
ERIC:
Sam.
I'm glad I caught you.
Your daughter's
not at school.
She's not even in Northern
California. She's...
She's right here in L.A.
[sighs]
Is there, uh, anything that I can do?
Well, for one,
you can stop treating me like
I have "handle with care"
written across my
forehead, Deeks.
I'm fine. Okay?
Yeah. No, no, no.
Uh, y-you're not fine,
and I'm not fine,
but that's okay.
Right? Listen, we've been
trying to get pregnant for, uh,
for a long time.
Has it been a long time?
I mean, it's only been
six months with, uh...
with this doctor.
Is six months a long time?
Is it?
Okay. Well, let's just say
that these last six months
of doctor visits
and ultrasounds
and tests have been
a tad bit arduous.
[chuckles softly]
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's, um,
it's been pretty arduous.
God, that's a stupid word.
Isn't that a stupid word?
It's the worst.
It's the stupidest word.
Arduous. Ard-Arduous.
It makes my mouth
do this ugly "U" shape
when I say it. Ar-Arduous.
I look like an angry blowfish.
That's not the point.
The point is
that it's true.
It's okay
to be upset about that.
[whispers]: I can't talk
about this right now.
SAM:
Maybe she's
with her L.A. friends.
Could you check and see
if she's posing with her friends
on her IG account?
I can't remember
their names.
Nothing but moody photos
of the ocean
and inspirational quotes.
Found it. Jo and Karina.
How could I not remember that?
It's just nerves.
Something your brain
isn't used to dealing with.
Hey, guys, I found something.
I present Kam's IG account.
I was just on Kam's page.
None of this was there.
'Cause this is
a secret account.
Exactly.
Very secret.
I searched her followers
and found an obscure reference
to Kannacancan02.
Ten minutes later,
bada boom, bang bing,
Kam's secret life.
[chuckles]
Sorry, Sam.
[clears throat]
Eric, can you scroll
through her page?
We need to find
two of her friends.
Sam thinks she
might be with them.
Well, do you have
their numbers?
No, Eric, I don't.
Okay.
[clears throat]
That's them.
Jo and Karina.
Run 'em through facial rec.
We need those numbers ASAP.
Hold up, hold up.
Eric, can we run through these
a little bit?
Skip through the pics.
We should probably let Eric...
Now.
Okay.
[clears throat]
Uh, these were taken yesterday.
Whoa.
Does, uh...
does Kam have a boyfriend?
No.
ERIC: Huh.
SAM: Wh...
Okay,
let's say she did sneak
into town to...
hang out
with her... friend.
That's something
that, you know,
teenagers do.
That's normal, right?
Eric, run this guy
through facial recognition.
I want to know who he is
and where
he lives.
'Kay.
[exhales]
His name's Logan Reynolds,
and he was recently arrested
for obstruction of justice.
[sighs] And this is who
she decides to hang out with.
Send me that address.
Yeah.Sam!
Hey.
Where'd they pick you up from?
Hollywood and Highland.
Why?
Just trying to put the
pieces together. That's all.
What's your name?
Isaiah.
Isaiah Estevez.
Isaiah from the Change Unit?
Yeah. That's my group.
We spoke last week. I'm Kam.
I'm with Students for Humanity.
Kam Hanna?
What's going on?
Why are we here?
I don't know,
but I'm gonna...TYLER:
Hey!
[clanging]
Who told you two to talk?!
Huh?!
Huh?!
You know what?
Since you don't know
how to listen...
[exhales]
...I got a little surprise
for you.
Hit it!♪ We built
this new resistance! ♪
♪ To help keep our distance!
♪ Don't feel bad for us!
[knocking]Federal agents!
Yo, doesn't look
like anybody's home.
We'll break the glass.
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
We don't have
a warrant, Sam.
Plus, is this how
you want to meet
the parents
of your daughter's friends?
I'm having a hard time believing
that Kam would hang out
with anyone who has
a criminal record.
You understand?
[stammers, sighs] Maybe
it wasn't that big of a deal.
Plus, man,
your daughter's growing up.
She's gonna start
catching feelings
for somebody eventually.
My daughter could be locked up
in this criminal's basement.
They should be ashamed that
they raised a delinquent.
All right, well, let me try
Logan's phone again.
I'm-a go around
the back.
[chuckling]
Yo! Federal agents!
[gasps]
[tires screech, horn honks]
[grunting]
Where's my daughter?
Hey, hey. Wait, wait. Sam, easy!
Where's my daughter?
Logan! Logan!
What's going on? [grunting]
Are you okay?!
Yes, ma'am! [gasps]
Yo, Sam, easy.Kam.
Kamran Hanna.
[panting]
Nice to finally
meet you, Mr. Hanna.
[breathing heavily]
Sit.
Look, I want
to help you.
Sir, I really don't know
where she is.
Try again.
Mr. Hanna, I would tell you
where your daughter is
if I had any idea.
Are you dating my daughter?
[exhales]
Yes, sir.
Look, I'm sorry you have
to find out this way.
But if you don't know
where she is,
I definitely don't know
where she is.
Why is that?
Because I thought she was with you.
You thought she was with me?
I just found out
an hour ago
that she was in L.A.
I just found out
she had a boyfriend.
And I don't know what else
she lied to me about.
Mr. Hanna,
Kam didn't do anything...
One thing I
do know is that
the single common denominator
in every lie she's told me
is you.
Mr. Hanna, I'm just
as worried about her as...
You're just as worried as I am?
You think you
have any right
to be as worried as I am
right now?
Sam.
Sam.
Can I talk to you for a second?
I know you're worried, Sam,
but he's just a kid.
He came here
to help us find Kam.
He didn't have a choice.
Technically, no...
Kam never lied to me before
this guy came into her life.
That may be true...
It is true.
Look, I know you're scared
we can't find her
and hurt
that she didn't let you know
that she was coming
into town.
You're angry that she's
been keeping things from you.
What's your point?
You're taking that out on a kid
who can barely grow a mustache,
man.
Who obviously cares about her.
You don't know how he feels.
He doesn't know
how he feels.
[sighs]
Logan is 18.
Barely.
Exactly.
So imagine
what he's going through.
And he may be our only chance
at finding Kam.
[exhales]
Aiden's older.
He's... he's a boy.
[inhales]
I knew how to handle
him, what to expect.
But Kam...
That's my baby girl.
I did the best I could.
I knew she would suffer.
I knew something would go wrong
without her mom around.
Knew it.
It's not your fault, Sam.
My wife would kill me
if she was here right now.
[exhales]
You mind if I talk to him?
Sure.
[exhales]
LOGAN:
Sir.
ROUNTREE:
You don't have to call me "sir."
It's not my daughter
you're dating.
Let's start from
the beginning, man.
Um...
[exhales]
What brought you
and Kam to L.A.?
Yeah, that's stuff she wanted to
talk to her dad about herself.
Logan,
whatever you two discussed,
whatever Kam's plans were,
th-that's not happening anymore.
She is missing.
Her phone's been off-line
since last night.
And whatever you know is
probably the only thing
we can use to find her.
Um...
We came to L.A. for the protest.
Is that why you were arrested?
Yes, sir.
Last year, when we marched
in Santa Cruz,
police attacked us
out of nowhere.
I was covering a friend of mine
who got hit in the head.
They arrested me.
Said I was impeding
police activity.
[Logan scoffs]
ROUNTREE:
You guys planned on going
to the march tonight?
No, not exactly.
Then what exactly?
[sighs]
We weren't just showing up
with posters.
Kam is one
of the main organizers.
Sh-She's 17.
You'd be surprised
what a 17-year-old can get done.
Kam did most of the work out
of her dorm room at school,
under the radar.
Why?
It's not exactly encouraged
there.
Or at Annapolis.
Hmm. Yeah, that's why
she didn't tell her dad.
Kam knew
she was taking a big risk.
But this movement
and the moment,
I mean, it means so much to her.
Nothing was gonna stop her.
Yeah. She's
her father's daughter.
We drove down and met up with
a group that Kam works with.
Students for Humanity.
They're using a bar that's
closed for COVID as its HQ.
Anyways,
it got late.
Kam knew she still needed
to tell her dad the truth,
so she headed down to his boat
to spend the night there.
Did you drop her off
at his slip?
No.
I mean,
we drove her car down,
but she insisted on
going on her own.
[chuckles softly]
She's independent like that.
[stammers]
I can't believe
that I didn't go...
You're lying.Sam.
He's lying! I don't
believe a word you said,
starting with the fact
that Kam doesn't have a car.
Sir, that's not true.
She drives a Mini Cooper.
FATIMA:
Hey, how's it going?
Oh, you know, neck-deep
in Sam's personal life.
So good to be back.
I feel for Sam, but I told you
not to get involved.
Kensi and Deeks
are doing it.
They are on their way to the
protest headquarters right now.
Yeah. I wear a hijab.
I'm immune to peer pressure.
You know, Kam has a car
that Sam didn't even know about.
Go on.Mm.
Paid for
with a part-time job.
Does Sam at least
know about the job?
Yes. But he thought
it was at the library.
It's actually at
a Greek restaurant.
Why didn't she tell
Sam about the car?
'Cause he would've made her get
an armored tank.
I can see that. Smart girl.
Hey, you know,
now that we know
that Kam has a car...
You can find it
with Kaleidoscope.
Or we can check it out,
because I already found it.
And by "we," you mean me.
Come on.
Rountree's with Sam.
Callen is still on his
way back from his trip.
[sighs]
So I'm getting involved,
aren't I?
No use fighting it.
That's not good
for the resale.
Careful.
Yeah.
Careful.
Please. Babe.
Hey, what-what happened?
Getting into good trouble scares
a lot of people.
Do you know who did this?
Who are you?
Oh, we, uh... we know Kam.
We know that she was here
last night.
Has anybody seen her today?
How do you know Kam?
We're, uh...
we're friends.
And don't tell me she's friends
with a bunch of 40-year-olds.
Oh. [chuckles]
Easy, tiger.
She's still in her 30s
and killing it, thank you,
and I'm... 40 and
hanging on by a thread.
But the point is we're
actually friends with Kam's dad.
Oh, we know all about Kam's dad.
Are you two
also law enforcement?
Actually, yes, we are.
We're NCIS.
And I've got work to do.
Okay, hey. I'm sorry.
Listen, Kam's in trouble, okay?
We know that the last place
she was seen was here.
She didn't show up at her dad's
place, and her phone is off.
Could you help us out?
The brick that was thrown
through this window?
I bet you a million bucks
it wasn't a counterprotester.
It was one of our own.
Why do you say that?
Doesn't think
we're doing enough.
Who doesn't?
Zee.
He doesn't think
a peaceful march is going
to move the needle,
and Kam disagreed.
They got into it.
Okay, so they got into it
last night? Was it heated?
Very.
You think he would do
something to hurt her?
I wouldn't be surprised.
Zee knew he had
to get through to her
before changing
anyone else's mind.
Found Kam's car.
Still locked.
ERIC:
Any signs of a struggle?
Nope. Looks like
it was left here overnight.
Kam never made it back
to her car.
Something must've gone down
somewhere between here
and the headquarters.
How many blocks is that?
Um... about five.
Why'd she park so far away?
In L.A.?
This garage was probably
as close as she could get.
Maybe somebody saw something.
Where are you, Kam?

Hey, what's up?
Kam's still missing.
How's Sam doing?
He's freaking out.
As would I.
I can't even imagine the terror
I'd be feeling
if my kid was missing.
Yeah. Me, too.
I'll give these kids
one thing, though.
They're nothing if not clever.
Ah. The resistance
is alive.
Alive.
Reminds me of my days
back in the fray.
You were a rabble-rouser?
That's a stupid question.
Of course you were.
Should have seen me in eighth grade
when they handed down
the Rodney King verdict.
I wore a "Burn Baby Burn"
T-shirt for a week.
The principal freaked out,
told me to take it off,
I didn't.
They tried to physically
remove it from my body.
I wouldn't let him, and then
he suspended me for two weeks.
Well, did you change any hearts
or shift any minds?
No, but that wasn't the point,
because taking a stand
for something changed me.
And that's why I love you.
They took it.
What?
Took what? [sighs]
The petty cash box.
We keep a pretty large stash
on hand
in case someone needs
to be bailed out.
Well, who else knew
about that box?
Just me, Kam and Zee.
We took Zee's keys back
after he went off on Kam.
He take anything else?
[gasps softly]
KENSI:
Hey, if there's
something else
we should know about,
you need to tell us.
Kam could be in jeopardy.
If Zee took the petty cash box,
he also took the gun.
What does a student organization
need with a gun?
I thought we should keep one
in case we needed it.
To defend ourselves.
I never thought
one of our own would steal it.
We never do.
You hanging in there?
Well, my daughter
could be held captive
by some gun-toting anarchist.
We're no closer to getting her
or finding her
than I was this morning.
Yeah, I'm doing great.
Well, Kam's a tough girl.
I'm confident wherever
she is, you know,
she knows how to
handle herself.
She had a good
instructor.
[phone vibrating]
Thanks.
What do you got?
Well, I was able
to locate the infamous Zee.
Kyle McCarther.
His middle initial is "Z."
He's virtually a ghost
on the Internet.
He shut down his social media
accounts a couple weeks ago.
If he was planning
on doing something destructive
at that protest, or to Kam, that
would explain why he went dark.
"Destruction" should be
his middle name.
I followed a Reddit thread
that I connected
to Zee's now defunct account.
It looks like
one of his compadres
turned his criminal activity
into a battle cry
of sorts,
otherwise known as a "meme."
[beeps]
Oh. Kaleidoscope just confirmed
that Zee is in Monterey Park.
I'll send you the address.
Got it.Looks like Zee wants to
destroy the whole system.
Yeah, starting with my kid.
I got back as soon
as I could.
How was Santa Cruz?
It's a story for another time.
This is more important.

We shouldn't even be in here.
You still haven't
told us why you're...
[groaning]
You can't do that!
Yeah!
ISAIAH: Hey!
Hey, stop!
[groans]
Stop!
[groaning]
[distant siren wailing]
I'm fine. I'm fine.
I put it up before.
I can put it up again.
All right, but if I
wasn't here to help,
you would've ended up
under that board.
Wouldn't be
the first time.
We have to hurry
because they're going
to be coming through here
with the signs.
You're getting ready
for the protest?
You bet. I want
to be home and in my bed
before the first hippie comes.
Mr. Keller, right?
NCIS. Agent Namazi.
Oh, the Feds?
I should have known.
A young woman might have been
abducted near here last night.
Did you happen
to see or hear anything?
Oh, nothing. Nothing but bums,
lots of bums.
And clubbers.
They're drunk, all of them.
I noticed there's a security
camera in the garage.
Oh, no, no, no.
They are gone for years.
See? Look. Nothing.
So, uh, there's no way
of knowing
who came in and out of here
last night?
Uh, I'm sorry. I-I can't help.
Thanks, Mr. Keller.
Be safe.
Hey, I'm 83 years old.
Every day is a dance with death.
[laughs]
Mr. Keller, I think
I might know
what's wrong with your
security cameras. [laughs]
Me, too.
They're old as hell, like me.
[laughs]
Do you mind if I...?
Be my guest.
[quietly]:
Let's see here...
[beeps]
Ah.
[laughs softly]
[phone vibrating]
What's that?
G, what is that?
Fatima found footage
of Kam's abduction.
It's gonna cloud your judgment.
Let me see the footage.
We need to know what
we're dealing with.
[sighs]
They followed her.
Sam! Sam?
Look, I know that
was hard to watch.
Just remember, we need
to bring this guy in alive.
Kam could be locked up inside here.
What if she's not?
We kill this guy,
we may never find her.
I'm not making
any promises, G.
Can you just
promise to try?
Okay, here we go.
[panting]
Take these two bags
out to the truck. There he is.
CALLEN:
Oh, he's got support.
Looks like they're getting
ready for battle.
Any sign of Kam?
We're about to find out.
Federal agents!
Put the bags down!
Put your hands
up slowly.
Do as he says,
no one gets hurt.
What did you do with Kam?
[sighs]
[clicks]
[panting]
I got him.
[panting]
[whoops]
Come get it!
[panting]
This isn't going your way,
buddy.
[panting]
[grunting]
[grunts]
[panting]
[groaning]
[whimpering]
Well, at least
you didn't kill him.
CALLEN:
Yeah, all right.
Copy that.
Keep us posted.
Eric's checking the street cams
between the Students
for Humanity headquarters
and Zee's house to see
if Zee might have linked up
with whoever
took Kam last night.
I don't think he really needs
the neck brace,
but it is working for
dramatic effect. [Zee groans]
I think I'm
missing something, G,
but I can't get my head straight
enough to figure it out.
Let's see what the Green Goblin
has to say.
Hey, hold up a second.
Mm-hmm.
Really didn't have to
take me out like that, man.
Hey, you threatened my daughter
and tried to kill us
with explosives.
I think you got off pretty easy.
Come on, man.
That was self-defense.
With everything going on
in these streets,
you expect me to trust two cops
just pulling up
on my spot like that?
We're not cops.
We're NCIS.
Did anyone ever threaten Kam?
Other than you?
Only people jacking folks
off the streets
are cops and federal agents.
You know what y'all did
in Portland.
Again, not us.
What do you know
about last night?
Any of your friends go missing?
Quit acting so innocent.
Like you've never
roughed somebody up
and then dumped them
in some godforsaken desert
outside the city.
You can't keep us silent.
I don't care what y'all say.
CALLEN:Mm-hmm.
I don't care.
For the last time,
we don't do that.
Any of this look familiar?
[gasps softly]
I had nothing to do
with that.
Kam and I did bump heads
about keeping things peaceful.
And I was like,
"What is that going to do?"
You know, you can get
your point across
without resorting
to violence.
Oh, yeah?
Tell that to the militia groups
showing up with guns.
Who's gonna protect us?
So, you guys were arming up.
For what?
You gonna have a gunfight
in the middle of Hollywood?
Nobody wants it to come to that.
But what are we
supposed to do?
Just let armed vigilantes
keep us from telling the truth?
Like the truth of you
with this neck brace?
Get him out of here!
Hey!
Where's his supervisor, man?
[phone vibrates]
CALLEN: Hey.
You got any news?
Anything?
I will take whatever you got.
Zee's alibi checks out.
He was nowhere near Kam
when she was abducted.
Okay, I should have been
more specific.
Do you have any good news?
DHS is bringing us a list
of everyone they've picked up
so far.
Fatima and Rountree are
on their way
to the boatshed
to review it now.
All right. Great.
Keep us posted.
Oh, uh, one more thing.
I cross-referenced
missing person reports.
Kam is not the only organizer
who's gone missing.
There's two more.
One's named Erica Parker.
The other is Isaiah Estevez.
MERKEL:
That...
is the list of all
the organizations
providing security
and surveillance
for the protest tonight.
DHS.
DEA, FBI, LAPD,
Sheriff, EPA.
[chuckles]:
EPA?
I didn't want to have to
come back down here again,
so I went above and beyond.
Wow.
This many agitators
traveled into the city
just to wreak havoc?
That's intense.
What's even more intense is
that they're organized
and well-funded.
ROUNTREE:
Are you sure that
none of these people
were coming into town
hoping to exercise
their First Amendment rights
to peacefully assemble?
Are you saying you think
DHS is overzealous?
Look, all I'm
saying is that
maybe "Darryl Watterman" cares
about what's going on
in this country
and wants his voice
to be heard.
MERKEL: Our goal is
to stop violence
before it starts.
And funny you'd mention
good old Darryl.
We've been tracking
him since July.
When he was arrested
in Seattle,
he had enough C-4 explosives
in his possession
to blow up the Space Needle.
I don't, I don't see
Kam's name on this list.
Mm. You said she
helped organize
tonight's protest?
That's correct.
Organizers aren't usually
the ones causing trouble.
Their name is
on the permit.
DHS believes in
freedom of speech.
We protect protesters who stay
within the confines of the law.
Well, at least we're
on the same page about that.
[sighs]
I have the DHS report,
but so far...
Kam's not on it.
And I checked the hospitals.
The morgue?
Yeah. Twice.
When Kam was a little girl, she
used to ask me to hold her hand
and squeeze it real tight.
She used to tell me
how strong I was.
I'm the only protector
she's ever had.
Watching that video over and
over is not gonna get her back.
You're just torturing yourself.
Let's get out of here.
Let's hit the streets,
let's go find her.
G, look at this.
Does that look familiar to you?
ERIC:
So, I was able
to digitally enhance
the tattoo and voilà.
An hourglass filled with what
I'm pretty sure is the skull
from Pirates of
the Caribbean,
which led me down
an unfortunate rabbit hole
of Disney-themed tattoos somehow
appropriate for grown men.
Eric, could you quit rambling?
This may be the only way
for me to find my daughter.Yeah.
Get to the point, please.I am
sorry. I just get nervous,
and then I ramble.
I really want
to help you find Kam.
We know you do. Just,
please?Okay, so,
when Disney
came up empty,
I ran the tattoo
through criminal
and gang databases.
Looks like the ink
belongs to the Sandmen.
They used to be a gang
within the sheriff's department.
But everybody
involved was fired.
But gang ties die hard.
Well, at least two of them
are still out in the streets
operating without the
constraints of a badge.
Eric, I want you to give
me the names, addresses,
places of employment
for any deputy
associated with the Sandmen.
Give it to the team and divvy
up. We're gonna run 'em down.
Copy that.
[sighs]
Penny for your thoughts?
You know,
just investigating
disgraced officers
who are the poster boys for
police brutality and corruption
because they may have
kidnapped Sam's daughter
for daring to stand up
for civil rights
and social justice issues.
I hear you.
Also considering the role
that DHS and LAPD-- and, hell,
let's be honest-- NCIS plays
in this bigger picture.
I hear you.
And then reflecting
on our desire and...
struggles, uh, trying
to have a child
and start a family in what is
obviously an incredibly complex
and cruel, cruel world.
Deeks...And I... and I know that
I'm not saying this because
I want to talk about it,
'cause I know
that you don't...
you don't want to
talk about this.
So I'm not even bringing
it up, because...
No, you're right, I don't.
Okay, so I'll stop.
But I do want to say this.
I am frustrated.
Okay? I-I... I am...
I'm frustrated that my body...
No, no, no, but that-that...
Deeks, please. I'm sorry.
Let me just, let me finish.
No, no, you're right. I'm sorry.
But even though
I'm feeling this way,
it doesn't take away
from the fact that I am elated
to start a family with you.
I hear you.
But right now, we got
to nail these guys to the wall.
God, I love it when
you talk pretty.
Okay, so we know
that most of these former
Sandmen now work security jobs.
Yeah, that's pretty...
pretty common.
Wait a minute. You see this?
Two of them have been working
out of the same location.
It's a decommissioned
sheriff's station in Reseda.
Be a pretty good
place to put people
if you didn't want
them to be found.
I'll call Sam.
[heavy metal music blasting]
TYLER:
Hey.
Wakey, wakey.
Hey, wake up!
Hey, cut the lights

Come on. A Mini Cooper?
Okay, I guess you're right.
I-I broke 43

Aidan?
Dad.
I'm so sorry, okay?
All right, well, we'll deal
with Aidan another day,
but I don't understand why
you felt like you needed
to keep this from me.
I don't want us
to have a relationship where
we can't talk to each other.
You're my dad, yeah, but you're
also an NCIS special agent.
What were you gonna say
if I told you
these protests mean something
to me?
I would have told you
they mean something to me, too.
Then come with me.
Where?
Tonight. Come march with me.
You're still going
to the protest
after everything
you've been through
in the last 24 hours?
Kidnapped, harassed, tortured?
Absolutely.
That's my girl.
Now,
what's this I hear
about a boyfriend?
Hmm? Hmm? Hmm?!
If you can "hmm," you can
answer, you know, huh?
Oh, yeah. Um...Oh, yeah? What?
About that.
Uh, about that, yeah.
[laughing]:
Um, I was gonna tell you,
but what had happened was...
SAM:
What had happened was...
Captioning sponsored by
CBS
and TOYOTA.
There's a lot I want
to catch you up on.
Okay, that's great, Kam.
Everything okay?
Everything's good. Really good.
I got to go. Love you, Dad.
I love you, too, baby.

What about my phone call, huh?
TYLER:
Hey!

Yeah, you want me to be quiet?

ISAIAH:
You want me

ERICA:
Yeah.
Then you let me call

why I disappeared.
Hey, ese?
This is your last warning.

We all have rights.
You can't keep us in here.
Please shut up.

Yeah.
Yeah, we heard you all right.

I cannot hold. I've been

This is an emergency.
WOMAN [over phone]:
I'm sorry, please hold.
Oh, hey, Sam. Do you know
where we keep the back stock
of kitchen supplies?
I am jonesing for a chai tea.
Oh, sorry, you're on the phone.
I'm on hold. It's the
bottom drawer on the left.
Oh, thanks.
Is everything okay?
I've been trying to reach
my daughter all morning
and the school's giving me
the runaround.
Have you tried texting her?
I hear it's all the rage
with the kids these days.
Yes, I texted her.
Right.
Of course.
I was just making sure.
You know, maybe she's just busy.
Keating Academy
is pretty rigorous.
And it's her senior year.
[line ringing]
KAMRAN: You've reached Kam,
leave a message.
Kam and I talked last night.
She wanted to tell me
something when she got to L.A.
Now I can't reach her.
Something's not right.
You know,
I was a daughter in high school
once upon a time
and, uh, sometimes
I just didn't want
to talk to my dad.
Can I get you a chai tea?
No, thank you, Fatima.
Okay. Yeah. Of course.
DEEKS:
Kens.
Deeks, no.
Yeah, but I need you to know
that you're perfect.
God, not now, Deeks.
Yeah, but it's true.
Look, I have to figure out a
way to get through my workday,
so can we please talk
about this tonight?
Of course, but you need to know
there's nothing wrong with you.
Well, that little paper in
your hand says otherwise.
This? No, no.
This-this is nothing.
It's like, it's like,
you just got to--
it's like taking a supplement.
Yeah, well, it doesn't feel
like nothing when you're
the one who has to take
the hormone shots.
Yeah, no. I-I know,
I'm just, uh...
I know you want to
talk about this.
And we will, I promise. I just,
I just-- I need time
to process this, okay?
So can we just not
talk about it right now?
Here, you just-- drive.
Eric. You're still here.
Oh, yeah. Still here.
Navy was so happy with my
upgraded version of Kaleidoscope
that they asked me to look at
what other systems
I could optimize.
Cool.
Yeah.
[chuckles]
[exhales]
Why are you looking at me?
I'm not looking at you.
You just did it again.
What?
Nothing.
Do not make me pull rank.
You don't have a rank.
You barely have
a contractor's pass.
Oh, so now
we're getting technical?
Okay, fine.
Talk to me about these glasses.
What about these glasses?
They're yellow.
Oh, you noticed.
Everyone's noticed.
What? They block the blue light
from LED screens.
Plus,
red was a no-go.
It's bad with my skin tone.
Blue is already
claimed by Bono.
Green is just weird.
Purple's like "what?"
And I'm not ready
for sunglasses indoors.
Yet. Baby steps.
So you've put no thought
into it.
Not at all.
[beeping]
Hey. We got a case?
No.
Then why aren't we talking
about my glasses?
Well, because Homeland Security
needs our help with
the protest tonight.
What kind of help?
I don't know.
I guess we'll find out.
I'll have Rountree meet DHS
at the boatshed.
Good idea.
Oh.
NCIS Agent Devin Rountree.
DHS Agent Megan Merkel.
S-Sorry, what?
It's "Merkel." With an E.
[laughs]
That's crazy.
I-I thought you said M...
I know.
Yeah, but y-- has anyone
ever told you that you-you
kind of look like...They have.
[whispers]:
That is so crazy.
It's actually very unfortunate.
[stammers]
Uh, how can I help you?
The protest planned for tonight.
Homeland Security
is coordinating
a joint federal task force
to assist
with local authorities.
Assist them with what?
Directing traffic?
It's gonna be
a peaceful protest.
I think that's
a little idealistic.
No, it's realistic.
The-the protest is about
equality and racial justice.
But I'm sure
the protesters
would love our protection.
Well, this request comes
directly from my director,
and the Secretary of Defense,
Secretary of the Navy,
the director of NCIS.
Oh.
There are concerns
about armed counterprotesters
showing up tonight.
So, to be clear,
it's not about the protesters,
it's about people showing up
who could pose a threat
to what would be
a peaceful protest.
Sure. If you want
to get technical.
[laughs]:
I'm not trying to get technical.
I'm just trying to get it right.
[laughs softly]
I feel like
we're getting off
on the wrong foot.
No, no. It's...
Agent Rountree,
can NCIS help us
gather intelligence
about militia groups
who may pose a problem tonight?
Sure.
If you want to get technical.
[laughs softly]
Oh, good morning.
Wouldn't go up there if I were you.
[chuckles]
We past formal greetings now?
Sorry. Good morning.
Don't go up there.
What's going on up-up there?
I'm not getting involved.
Okay, well, now I'm curious,
so I'm gonna go see
what's going on up there.
Don't say I didn't warn you.
I'm not asking you.
I'm telling you.
Hey, Sam, Eric.
What are you guys up to?
Nothing.Well, it's not not
nothing.
Yeah, well, Fatima seems
to think it's something.
I got this.
All right, cool.
Uh, Rountree, Rountree,
please don't go.
Just stay here.
I'm trying to convince
my friend Eric here
to check in on Kam
for me. That's all.
And by "check in," you mean...?
Use federal technology
to invade Kam's privacy
and locate her
exact whereabouts.
Yes, correct.
Something's not right with Kam.
Well, have you tried
texting her?
She's not responding.
All right, well,
no disrespect.
Does that mean
you get to co-opt...
SAM:
No disrespect,
but it's none of your business.
ROUNTREE:
You're right. You're right.
But are you sure
you want to do this?
I need to do this.
Then let's do it.
Thank you. Kam's number
is 310-555-0158.
[tablet beeps]
Uh-oh.
What? What's going on?
I figured out what's wrong
with Kam's phone.
It's off-line.
Sam, Sam. Slow down.
Maybe there's
a logical reason,
you know, why Kam
didn't call you back.
Hanna house rule number four:
always return a phone call
within 12 hours.
It's been 14 hours
and 28 minutes.
It's not like Kam to break
a house rule.
Well, maybe she lost her phone
or she dropped it and broke it.
Already thought of that.
The school called back.
She missed her classes
yesterday.
I'm gonna fly up
to San Francisco.
I'm gonna drive to her school.
I'm gonna find her.
And I'll be back
when I know Kam is safe.
[exhales] This is
the first time I'm hearing
of the Hanna house rules.
How many are there?
52.
52. Damn.
You got an app for that?
Hey.
When you have kids,
the first thing you'll do
is put a system in place
to keep your children safe.
What's rule number one?
Never lie.
ERIC:
Sam.
I'm glad I caught you.
Your daughter's
not at school.
She's not even in Northern
California. She's...
She's right here in L.A.
[sighs]
Is there, uh, anything that I can do?
Well, for one,
you can stop treating me like
I have "handle with care"
written across my
forehead, Deeks.
I'm fine. Okay?
Yeah. No, no, no.
Uh, y-you're not fine,
and I'm not fine,
but that's okay.
Right? Listen, we've been
trying to get pregnant for, uh,
for a long time.
Has it been a long time?
I mean, it's only been
six months with, uh...
with this doctor.
Is six months a long time?
Is it?
Okay. Well, let's just say
that these last six months
of doctor visits
and ultrasounds
and tests have been
a tad bit arduous.
[chuckles softly]
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's, um,
it's been pretty arduous.
God, that's a stupid word.
Isn't that a stupid word?
It's the worst.
It's the stupidest word.
Arduous. Ard-Arduous.
It makes my mouth
do this ugly "U" shape
when I say it. Ar-Arduous.
I look like an angry blowfish.
That's not the point.
The point is
that it's true.
It's okay
to be upset about that.
[whispers]: I can't talk
about this right now.
SAM:
Maybe she's
with her L.A. friends.
Could you check and see
if she's posing with her friends
on her IG account?
I can't remember
their names.
Nothing but moody photos
of the ocean
and inspirational quotes.
Found it. Jo and Karina.
How could I not remember that?
It's just nerves.
Something your brain
isn't used to dealing with.
Hey, guys, I found something.
I present Kam's IG account.
I was just on Kam's page.
None of this was there.
'Cause this is
a secret account.
Exactly.
Very secret.
I searched her followers
and found an obscure reference
to Kannacancan02.
Ten minutes later,
bada boom, bang bing,
Kam's secret life.
[chuckles]
Sorry, Sam.
[clears throat]
Eric, can you scroll
through her page?
We need to find
two of her friends.
Sam thinks she
might be with them.
Well, do you have
their numbers?
No, Eric, I don't.
Okay.
[clears throat]
That's them.
Jo and Karina.
Run 'em through facial rec.
We need those numbers ASAP.
Hold up, hold up.
Eric, can we run through these
a little bit?
Skip through the pics.
We should probably let Eric...
Now.
Okay.
[clears throat]
Uh, these were taken yesterday.
Whoa.
Does, uh...
does Kam have a boyfriend?
No.
ERIC: Huh.
SAM: Wh...
Okay,
let's say she did sneak
into town to...
hang out
with her... friend.
That's something
that, you know,
teenagers do.
That's normal, right?
Eric, run this guy
through facial recognition.
I want to know who he is
and where
he lives.

His name's Logan Reynolds,
and he was recently arrested
for obstruction of justice.

she decides to hang out with.
Send me that address.
Yeah.Sam!
Hey.
Where'd they pick you up from?
Hollywood and Highland.
Why?
Just trying to put the

My daughter could be locked up
in this criminal's basement.
They should be ashamed that
they raised a delinquent.
All right, well, let me try
Logan's phone again.
I'm-a go around
the back.
[chuckling]
Yo! Federal agents!
[gasps]
[tires screech, horn honks]
[grunting]
Where's my daughter?
Hey, hey. Wait, wait. Sam, easy!
Where's my daughter?
Logan! Logan!
What's going on? [grunting]
Are you okay?!
Yes, ma'am! [gasps]
Yo, Sam, easy.Kam.
Kamran Hanna.
[panting]
Nice to finally
meet you, Mr. Hanna.
[breathing heavily]
Sit.
Look, I want
to help you.
Sir, I really don't know
where she is.
Try again.
Mr. Hanna, I would tell you
where your daughter is
if I had any idea.
Are you dating my daughter?
[exhales]
Yes, sir.
Look, I'm sorry you have
to find out this way.
But if you don't know
where she is,
I definitely don't know
where she is.
Why is that?
Because I thought she was with you.
You thought she was with me?
I just found out
an hour ago
that she was in L.A.
I just found out
she had a boyfriend.
And I don't know what else
she lied to me about.
Mr. Hanna,
Kam didn't do anything...
One thing I
do know is that
the single common denominator
in every lie she's told me
is you.
Mr. Hanna, I'm just
as worried about her as...
You're just as worried as I am?
You think you
have any right
to be as worried as I am
right now?
Sam.
Sam.
Can I talk to you for a second?
I know you're worried, Sam,
but he's just a kid.
He came here
to help us find Kam.
He didn't have a choice.
Technically, no...
Kam never lied to me before
this guy came into her life.
That may be true...
It is true.
Look, I know you're scared
we can't find her
and hurt
that she didn't let you know
that she was coming
into town.
You're angry that she's
been keeping things from you.
What's your point?
You're taking that out on a kid
who can barely grow a mustache,
man.
Who obviously cares about her.
You don't know how he feels.
He doesn't know
how he feels.
[sighs]
Logan is 18.
Barely.
Exactly.
So imagine
what he's going through.
And he may be our only chance
at finding Kam.
[exhales]
Aiden's older.
He's... he's a boy.
[inhales]
I knew how to handle
him, what to expect.
But Kam...
That's my baby girl.
I did the best I could.
I knew she would suffer.
I knew something would go wrong
without her mom around.
Knew it.
It's not your fault, Sam.
My wife would kill me
if she was here right now.
[exhales]
You mind if I talk to him?
Sure.
[exhales]
LOGAN:
Sir.
ROUNTREE:
You don't have to call me "sir."
It's not my daughter
you're dating.
Let's start from
the beginning, man.
Um...
[exhales]
What brought you
and Kam to L.A.?
Yeah, that's stuff she wanted to
talk to her dad about herself.
Logan,
whatever you two discussed,
whatever Kam's plans were,
th-that's not happening anymore.
She is missing.
Her phone's been off-line
since last night.
And whatever you know is
probably the only thing
we can use to find her.
Um...
We came to L.A. for the protest.
Is that why you were arrested?
Yes, sir.
Last year, when we marched
in Santa Cruz,
police attacked us
out of nowhere.
I was covering a friend of mine
who got hit in the head.
They arrested me.
Said I was impeding
police activity.
[Logan scoffs]
ROUNTREE:
You guys planned on going
to the march tonight?
No, not exactly.
Then what exactly?
[sighs]
We weren't just showing up
with posters.
Kam is one
of the main organizers.
Sh-She's 17.
You'd be surprised
what a 17-year-old can get done.
Kam did most of the work out
of her dorm room at school,
under the radar.
Why?
It's not exactly encouraged
there.
Or at Annapolis.
Hmm. Yeah, that's why
she didn't tell her dad.
Kam knew
she was taking a big risk.
But this movement
and the moment,
I mean, it means so much to her.
Nothing was gonna stop her.
Yeah. She's
her father's daughter.
We drove down and met up with
a group that Kam works with.
Students for Humanity.
They're using a bar that's
closed for COVID as its HQ.
Anyways,
it got late.
Kam knew she still needed
to tell her dad the truth,
so she headed down to his boat
to spend the night there.
Did you drop her off
at his slip?
No.
I mean,
we drove her car down,
but she insisted on
going on her own.
[chuckles softly]
She's independent like that.
[stammers]
I can't believe
that I didn't go...
You're lying.Sam.
He's lying! I don't
believe a word you said,
starting with the fact
that Kam doesn't have a car.
Sir, that's not true.
She drives a Mini Cooper.
FATIMA:
Hey, how's it going?
Oh, you know, neck-deep
in Sam's personal life.
So good to be back.
I feel for Sam, but I told you
not to get involved.
Kensi and Deeks
are doing it.
They are on their way to the
protest headquarters right now.
Yeah. I wear a hijab.
I'm immune to peer pressure.
You know, Kam has a car
that Sam didn't even know about.
Go on.Mm.
Paid for
with a part-time job.
Does Sam at least
know about the job?
Yes. But he thought
it was at the library.
It's actually at
a Greek restaurant.
Why didn't she tell
Sam about the car?
'Cause he would've made her get
an armored tank.
I can see that. Smart girl.
Hey, you know,
now that we know
that Kam has a car...
You can find it
with Kaleidoscope.
Or we can check it out,
because I already found it.
And by "we," you mean me.
Come on.
Rountree's with Sam.
Callen is still on his
way back from his trip.
[sighs]
So I'm getting involved,
aren't I?
No use fighting it.
That's not good
for the resale.
Careful.
Yeah.
Careful.
Please. Babe.
Hey, what-what happened?
Getting into good trouble scares
a lot of people.
Do you know who did this?
Who are you?
Oh, we, uh... we know Kam.
We know that she was here
last night.
Has anybody seen her today?
How do you know Kam?
We're, uh...
we're friends.
And don't tell me she's friends
with a bunch of 40-year-olds.
Oh. [chuckles]
Easy, tiger.
She's still in her 30s
and killing it, thank you,
and I'm... 40 and
hanging on by a thread.
But the point is we're
actually friends with Kam's dad.
Oh, we know all about Kam's dad.
Are you two
also law enforcement?
Actually, yes, we are.
We're NCIS.
And I've got work to do.
Okay, hey. I'm sorry.
Listen, Kam's in trouble, okay?
We know that the last place
she was seen was here.
She didn't show up at her dad's
place, and her phone is off.
Could you help us out?
The brick that was thrown
through this window?
I bet you a million bucks
it wasn't a counterprotester.
It was one of our own.
Why do you say that?
Doesn't think
we're doing enough.
Who doesn't?
Zee.
He doesn't think
a peaceful march is going
to move the needle,
and Kam disagreed.
They got into it.
Okay, so they got into it
last night? Was it heated?
Very.
You think he would do
something to hurt her?
I wouldn't be surprised.
Zee knew he had
to get through to her
before changing
anyone else's mind.
Found Kam's car.
Still locked.
ERIC:
Any signs of a struggle?
Nope. Looks like
it was left here overnight.
Kam never made it back
to her car.
Something must've gone down
somewhere between here
and the headquarters.
How many blocks is that?
Um... about five.
Why'd she park so far away?
In L.A.?
This garage was probably
as close as she could get.
Maybe somebody saw something.
Where are you, Kam?

Hey, what's up?
Kam's still missing.
How's Sam doing?
He's freaking out.
As would I.
I can't even imagine the terror
I'd be feeling
if my kid was missing.
Yeah. Me, too.
I'll give these kids
one thing, though.
They're nothing if not clever.
Ah. The resistance
is alive.
Alive.
Reminds me of my days
back in the fray.
You were a rabble-rouser?
That's a stupid question.
Of course you were.
Should have seen me in eighth grade
when they handed down
the Rodney King verdict.
I wore a "Burn Baby Burn"
T-shirt for a week.
The principal freaked out,
told me to take it off,
I didn't.
They tried to physically
remove it from my body.
I wouldn't let him, and then
he suspended me for two weeks.
Well, did you change any hearts
or shift any minds?
No, but that wasn't the point,
because taking a stand
for something changed me.
And that's why I love you.
They took it.
What?
Took what? [sighs]
The petty cash box.
We keep a pretty large stash
on hand
in case someone needs
to be bailed out.
Well, who else knew
about that box?
Just me, Kam and Zee.
We took Zee's keys back
after he went off on Kam.
He take anything else?
[gasps softly]
KENSI:
Hey, if there's
something else
we should know about,
you need to tell us.
Kam could be in jeopardy.
If Zee took the petty cash box,
he also took the gun.
What does a student organization
need with a gun?
I thought we should keep one
in case we needed it.
To defend ourselves.
I never thought
one of our own would steal it.
We never do.
You hanging in there?
Well, my daughter
could be held captive
by some gun-toting anarchist.
We're no closer to getting her
or finding her
than I was this morning.
Yeah, I'm doing great.
Well, Kam's a tough girl.
I'm confident wherever
she is, you know,
she knows how to
handle herself.
She had a good
instructor.
[phone vibrating]
Thanks.
What do you got?
Well, I was able
to locate the infamous Zee.
Kyle McCarther.
His middle initial is "Z."
He's virtually a ghost
on the Internet.
He shut down his social media
accounts a couple weeks ago.
If he was planning
on doing something destructive
at that protest, or to Kam, that
would explain why he went dark.
"Destruction" should be
his middle name.
I followed a Reddit thread
that I connected
to Zee's now defunct account.
It looks like
one of his compadres
turned his criminal activity
into a battle cry
of sorts,
otherwise known as a "meme."
[beeps]
Oh. Kaleidoscope just confirmed
that Zee is in Monterey Park.
I'll send you the address.
Got it.Looks like Zee wants to
destroy the whole system.
Yeah, starting with my kid.
I got back as soon
as I could.
How was Santa Cruz?
It's a story for another time.
This is more important.

CARLOS:
You all are lucky

[gasps]
That's about to change.
See, you all think
this is a game.
Just like your little marches.
We shouldn't even be in here.
You still haven't
told us why you're...
[groaning]
You can't do that!
Yeah!
ISAIAH: Hey!
Hey, stop!
[groans]
Stop!
[groaning]
[distant siren wailing]
I'm fine. I'm fine.
I put it up before.
I can put it up again.
All right, but if I
wasn't here to help,
you would've ended up
under that board.
Wouldn't be
the first time.
We have to hurry
because they're going
to be coming through here
with the signs.
You're getting ready
for the protest?
You bet. I want
to be home and in my bed
before the first hippie comes.
Mr. Keller, right?
NCIS. Agent Namazi.
Oh, the Feds?
I should have known.
A young woman might have been
abducted near here last night.
Did you happen
to see or hear anything?
Oh, nothing. Nothing but bums,
lots of bums.
And clubbers.
They're drunk, all of them.
I noticed there's a security
camera in the garage.
Oh, no, no, no.
They are gone for years.
See? Look. Nothing.
So, uh, there's no way
of knowing
who came in and out of here
last night?
Uh, I'm sorry. I-I can't help.
Thanks, Mr. Keller.
Be safe.
Hey, I'm 83 years old.
Every day is a dance with death.
[laughs]
Mr. Keller, I think
I might know
what's wrong with your
security cameras. [laughs]
Me, too.
They're old as hell, like me.
[laughs]
Do you mind if I...?
Be my guest.
[quietly]:
Let's see here...
[beeps]
Ah.
[laughs softly]
[phone vibrating]
What's that?
G, what is that?
Fatima found footage
of Kam's abduction.
It's gonna cloud your judgment.
Let me see the footage.
We need to know what
we're dealing with.
[sighs]
They followed her.
Sam! Sam?
Look, I know that
was hard to watch.
Just remember, we need
to bring this guy in alive.
Kam could be locked up inside here.
What if she's not?
We kill this guy,
we may never find her.
I'm not making
any promises, G.
Can you just
promise to try?
Okay, here we go.
[panting]
Take these two bags
out to the truck. There he is.
CALLEN:
Oh, he's got support.
Looks like they're getting
ready for battle.
Any sign of Kam?
We're about to find out.
Federal agents!
Put the bags down!
Put your hands
up slowly.
Do as he says,
no one gets hurt.
What did you do with Kam?
[sighs]
[clicks]
[panting]
I got him.
[panting]
[whoops]
Come get it!
[panting]
This isn't going your way,
buddy.
[panting]
[grunting]
[grunts]
[panting]
[groaning]
[whimpering]
Well, at least
you didn't kill him.
CALLEN:
Yeah, all right.
Copy that.
Keep us posted.
Eric's checking the street cams
between the Students
for Humanity headquarters
and Zee's house to see
if Zee might have linked up
with whoever
took Kam last night.
I don't think he really needs
the neck brace,
but it is working for
dramatic effect. [Zee groans]
I think I'm
missing something, G,
but I can't get my head straight
enough to figure it out.
Let's see what the Green Goblin
has to say.
Hey, hold up a second.
Mm-hmm.
Really didn't have to
take me out like that, man.
Hey, you threatened my daughter
and tried to kill us
with explosives.
I think you got off pretty easy.
Come on, man.
That was self-defense.
With everything going on
in these streets,
you expect me to trust two cops
just pulling up
on my spot like that?
We're not cops.
We're NCIS.
Did anyone ever threaten Kam?
Other than you?
Only people jacking folks
off the streets
are cops and federal agents.
You know what y'all did
in Portland.
Again, not us.
What do you know
about last night?
Any of your friends go missing?
Quit acting so innocent.
Like you've never
roughed somebody up
and then dumped them
in some godforsaken desert
outside the city.
You can't keep us silent.
I don't care what y'all say.
CALLEN:Mm-hmm.
I don't care.
For the last time,
we don't do that.
Any of this look familiar?
[gasps softly]
I had nothing to do
with that.
Kam and I did bump heads
about keeping things peaceful.
And I was like,
"What is that going to do?"
You know, you can get
your point across
without resorting
to violence.
Oh, yeah?
Tell that to the militia groups
showing up with guns.
Who's gonna protect us?
So, you guys were arming up.
For what?
You gonna have a gunfight
in the middle of Hollywood?
Nobody wants it to come to that.
But what are we
supposed to do?
Just let armed vigilantes
keep us from telling the truth?
Like the truth of you
with this neck brace?
Get him out of here!
Hey!
Where's his supervisor, man?
[phone vibrates]
CALLEN: Hey.
You got any news?
Anything?
I will take whatever you got.
Zee's alibi checks out.
He was nowhere near Kam
when she was abducted.
Okay, I should have been
more specific.
Do you have any good news?
DHS is bringing us a list
of everyone they've picked up
so far.
Fatima and Rountree are
on their way
to the boatshed
to review it now.
All right. Great.
Keep us posted.
Oh, uh, one more thing.
I cross-referenced
missing person reports.
Kam is not the only organizer
who's gone missing.
There's two more.
One's named Erica Parker.
The other is Isaiah Estevez.
MERKEL:
That...
is the list of all
the organizations
providing security
and surveillance
for the protest tonight.
DHS.
DEA, FBI, LAPD,
Sheriff, EPA.
[chuckles]:
EPA?
I didn't want to have to
come back down here again,
so I went above and beyond.
Wow.
This many agitators
traveled into the city
just to wreak havoc?
That's intense.
What's even more intense is
that they're organized
and well-funded.
ROUNTREE:
Are you sure that
none of these people
were coming into town
hoping to exercise
their First Amendment rights
to peacefully assemble?
Are you saying you think
DHS is overzealous?
Look, all I'm
saying is that
maybe "Darryl Watterman" cares
about what's going on
in this country
and wants his voice
to be heard.
MERKEL: Our goal is
to stop violence
before it starts.
And funny you'd mention
good old Darryl.
We've been tracking
him since July.
When he was arrested
in Seattle,
he had enough C-4 explosives
in his possession
to blow up the Space Needle.
I don't, I don't see
Kam's name on this list.
Mm. You said she
helped organize
tonight's protest?
That's correct.
Organizers aren't usually
the ones causing trouble.
Their name is
on the permit.
DHS believes in
freedom of speech.
We protect protesters who stay
within the confines of the law.
Well, at least we're
on the same page about that.
[sighs]
I have the DHS report,
but so far...
Kam's not on it.
And I checked the hospitals.
The morgue?
Yeah. Twice.
When Kam was a little girl, she
used to ask me to hold her hand
and squeeze it real tight.
She used to tell me
how strong I was.
I'm the only protector
she's ever had.
Watching that video over and
over is not gonna get her back.
You're just torturing yourself.
Let's get out of here.
Let's hit the streets,
let's go find her.
G, look at this.
Does that look familiar to you?
ERIC:
So, I was able
to digitally enhance
the tattoo and voilà.
An hourglass filled with what
I'm pretty sure is the skull
from Pirates of
the Caribbean,
which led me down
an unfortunate rabbit hole
of Disney-themed tattoos somehow
appropriate for grown men.
Eric, could you quit rambling?
This may be the only way
for me to find my daughter.Yeah.
Get to the point, please.I am
sorry. I just get nervous,
and then I ramble.
I really want
to help you find Kam.
We know you do. Just,
please?Okay, so,
when Disney
came up empty,
I ran the tattoo
through criminal
and gang databases.
Looks like the ink
belongs to the Sandmen.
They used to be a gang
within the sheriff's department.
But everybody
involved was fired.
But gang ties die hard.
Well, at least two of them
are still out in the streets
operating without the
constraints of a badge.
Eric, I want you to give
me the names, addresses,
places of employment
for any deputy
associated with the Sandmen.
Give it to the team and divvy
up. We're gonna run 'em down.
Copy that.
[sighs]
Penny for your thoughts?
You know,
just investigating
disgraced officers
who are the poster boys for
police brutality and corruption
because they may have
kidnapped Sam's daughter
for daring to stand up
for civil rights
and social justice issues.
I hear you.
Also considering the role
that DHS and LAPD-- and, hell,
let's be honest-- NCIS plays
in this bigger picture.
I hear you.
And then reflecting
on our desire and...
struggles, uh, trying
to have a child
and start a family in what is
obviously an incredibly complex
and cruel, cruel world.
Deeks...And I... and I know that
I'm not saying this because
I want to talk about it,
'cause I know
that you don't...
you don't want to
talk about this.
So I'm not even bringing
it up, because...
No, you're right, I don't.
Okay, so I'll stop.
But I do want to say this.
I am frustrated.
Okay? I-I... I am...
I'm frustrated that my body...
No, no, no, but that-that...
Deeks, please. I'm sorry.
Let me just, let me finish.
No, no, you're right. I'm sorry.
But even though
I'm feeling this way,
it doesn't take away
from the fact that I am elated
to start a family with you.
I hear you.
But right now, we got
to nail these guys to the wall.
God, I love it when
you talk pretty.
Okay, so we know
that most of these former
Sandmen now work security jobs.
Yeah, that's pretty...
pretty common.
Wait a minute. You see this?
Two of them have been working
out of the same location.
It's a decommissioned
sheriff's station in Reseda.
Be a pretty good
place to put people
if you didn't want
them to be found.
I'll call Sam.
