00:08Dispatch 1-4 on scene.
00:10Possible trespassing progress.
00:14What do you see, rookie?
00:16Not much, Sarge.
00:18Looks empty.
00:20Maybe just a false alarm?
00:22Maybe.
00:23But we should take a closer look.
00:25Trust me.
00:25Take 30 seconds now.
00:27Save three hours later.
00:29Oh, do they always smell so bad?
00:32Come on, Rook.
00:33This here is a four-star alleyway.
00:35Urine-free, not a rat in sight.
00:38Oh, God!
00:42Guess you found our trespasser.
00:45Is he dead?
00:49Sure smells it.
00:51Check his pulse.
00:52I'll call it in.
00:56Turn off light, please.
00:57Did he just talk?
00:59Yes.
01:00And I said, turn off the light.
01:02Trying to sleep here.
01:04For real?
01:05Another drunk sailor?
01:07What do you expect?
01:08The entire second fleet is anchored just offshore.
01:10We're being invaded.
01:12What the hell?
01:13Hey, stop!
01:14Police!
01:21Tell me, Rook, do we ever leave the keys in the car?
01:27No, ma'am.
01:38Oh, I hate fleet week.
01:42We are the Navy.
01:44We are the Navy.
01:45We are the Navy.
01:47We are the Navy.
02:20All right, it's our top priority, Chief.
02:21We got a bolo out on your stolen squad cart.
02:24When we find it, these sailors are looking at serious charges.
02:27Yeah, yeah, tell me about it.
02:29Last year's Fleet Week was a cakewalk compared to this one.
02:32It's like there's something in the water.
02:34Look, Chief, I gotta go.
02:37Okay, please tell me this isn't your work.
02:39Oh, no, no, they did this to one another.
02:41Early morning bar fight.
02:43Typical NCIS, always riding us.
02:45Give us a break, man.
02:47We've been at sea for months.
02:48We're just trying to have a good time.
02:50They almost killed each other.
02:51Not even close.
02:53You know, you guys are total fun police.
02:56What did I tell you about calling us that, man?
02:58Okay, okay, okay.
02:59Just get them to the garage.
03:00We're holding everybody there
03:01until their commands can pick them up.
03:03Go.
03:04Let's go.
03:05Either way, fun police.
03:07Yeah, no, no, no.
03:09Understood.
03:10We'll do our best.
03:11Mickey, MPD needs an update on their stolen squad card.
03:15Yes.
03:16Had Casey pull up its GPS,
03:18but unfortunately it is malfunctioning.
03:20Tell you what, though.
03:20At least it has GPS,
03:22because you know what doesn't?
03:23Goats.
03:24Goats.
03:25Yeah, goats.
03:27Eyewitnesses saw a sailor release them
03:29from an enclosure on the National Mall.
03:31Now I get to put out a bolo.
03:32Why are there goats on the mall?
03:34Nature's lawnmowers, man.
03:36National Park Service uses them
03:38to cut the grass without using gas.
03:42He's actually right.
03:44Can we help you?
03:45Oh, no, no, no.
03:46He's with me.
03:47He's mine.
03:48Sorry, sorry.
03:49Told you to stay with me.
03:51I'm sorry, pretty lady.
03:52Hmm.
03:53Found him doing pull-ups and cherry blossom tree.
03:56Why is he wearing a banner?
03:58Because that's all he's wearing, Tim.
04:01Oops.
04:03Oh, okay.
04:04Let's just keep this.
04:06Okay, let's just keep it.
04:07Can we get him some clothes, please?
04:09Paulson, can you take the sailor down to autopsy
04:12and have Jimmy give him a fresh pair of scrubs?
04:14Yeah, maybe some munchies, too?
04:15No, no, it's okay.
04:16You can go.
04:17Come on, champ.
04:18This way.
04:19That's it.
04:23Is it me or his fleet wig crazy this year?
04:25Yeah, and it feels really wrong.
04:27I mean, everybody's out here celebrating.
04:28Meanwhile, I'm here, we're still...
04:30Well, we went straight from Director Vance's funeral last week
04:33to the chaos of Fleet Week.
04:35Looks like we haven't had a chance to process anything.
04:38Well, the world moves on.
04:40DoD just sent another memo.
04:42They want Vance's office cleared out by Friday.
04:46In the middle of Fleet Week?
04:47What's the rush?
04:48Interim Director hasn't even set foot in the building.
04:50Well, don't get too attached.
04:52We'll probably get five more just like him
04:53before they settle on someone.
04:55We'll just have to find a time.
04:57Or not.
04:59Well, my phone's dead.
05:01What's it say?
05:02The bolo came back on the stolen squad car.
05:04Sailors abandoned it across the river for a while.
05:08Yeah, MPD is not going to be too happy.
05:10Ooh.
05:15How the hell did they even do this?
05:17I mean, look at these parked cars.
05:19There's not a scratch on them.
05:20Well, maybe they parked there after the crash.
05:23And who parks next to a crashed police car?
05:25It's pretty hard to find a spot on this part of town.
05:28Hmm.
05:31Hey, Tim, tell me you found a security camera.
05:33We need to see how this happened.
05:34Well, the cafe doesn't have any.
05:36So we still have no ID on the sailors who did this.
05:39Well, maybe I can pull some fingerprints
05:40from the inside of the car.
05:42Yeah, I'll take some photos.
05:43All right.
05:45So how'd the MPD chief take the news?
05:47Better than I thought.
05:49I think Fleet Week is wearing them down.
05:51Can't say I blame them.
05:53You know, with all my Fleet Weeks,
05:54I've never seen anything like this.
05:55I gotta say, it could have been a lot worse.
05:57At least nobody got hurt.
05:59Found a key, Bob.
06:00Uh-oh.
06:08You were saying?
06:16The body in the trunk belongs to Petty Officer
06:19Third Class Kyle Revis.
06:21He was a machinist mate aboard the USS Allegiance.
06:23Docked in Baltimore for Fleet Week.
06:25Oh, half the guys we picked up this week
06:27were from the Allegiance.
06:28Hey, do we know that guy?
06:30Is that Joey Dietz?
06:32What are they doing up here?
06:33Uh, the restrooms downstairs are out of order,
06:36so we're allowing them to use the facilities on this level.
06:39Great.
06:39Just ignore them.
06:41According to our victim's ex-so,
06:43Revis was a dedicated sailor.
06:45The perfect service record.
06:46Not the type to steal a police car.
06:48Well, except that it looks like he did.
06:50Or at least went along for the ride.
06:53Fingerprints were all over the passenger seat.
06:54Who was driving?
06:56Seaman Daniel Harvey.
06:58We found his fingerprints on the steering wheel.
07:00Shipmates say that Harvey and Revis were best friends
07:03and that they were even Liberty Buddies during Fleet Week.
07:05Aren't Liberty Buddies supposed to keep each other out of trouble?
07:08We also found Harvey's prints on the murder weapon.
07:10Oh, damn.
07:12Joey Dietz is dead?
07:13Can somebody please get these guys out of here?
07:15Still gotta use the bathroom.
07:16Not cool, funk police.
07:18Okay, I'm gonna hit him.
07:19All right, all right.
07:19Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
07:21All right, where is our missing car thief now?
07:24Uh, AWOL for the past 12 hours.
07:25We have a bolo out on him.
07:27These guys are from the same town.
07:29They joined the Navy together.
07:30They're best friends.
07:31What the hell happened last night?
07:32They met a girl.
07:34Got Revis' phone here.
07:35Battery was dead, so I had to charge it.
07:37Look at the last photo that was taken.
07:40Now, timestamp says that it was taken
07:41after they sold the squad car,
07:43but only an hour before Revis' time of death.
07:45She's probably the last person to see Revis alive.
07:47We need to find her.
07:51See, it's disrespectful.
07:53We're not the fun police.
07:55We're the keeping you safe police.
07:56Why don't they get that?
07:58Oh, come on, Nick.
07:59Sailor's been calling us this for years.
08:00It's nothing new.
08:02Eh, it's just different now.
08:05You mean, Dr. Vance?
08:08Yeah, I get that.
08:09Vance sacrificed everything
08:10so we can keep doing this job.
08:12Of course, it wouldn't trivialize what we do.
08:14No, it's also not very clever, you know?
08:16I don't know.
08:18Fun police?
08:20I don't know.
08:21We can do better than that.
08:24Hi there.
08:25Can I help you?
08:27Oh.
08:29Do you like it?
08:30I'm trying on my costume for our Fleet Week social.
08:33Just don't call it a party.
08:35Do you guys know about Fleet Week?
08:36Yeah, we've heard of it.
08:38NCIS.
08:39And you are?
08:41Samantha Barnes.
08:42Tag house president.
08:44What's this about?
08:46We're looking for this woman.
08:47We believe she may be a member of your sorority.
08:50Oh, yeah.
08:51Yeah, that's Annie.
08:51Annie Carson.
08:52Let me guess, did she break one of those sailors' hearts?
08:57Stabbed to death?
08:59That's awful.
09:01I don't know how I can help.
09:02I only spent a few minutes with them.
09:04How did you meet?
09:05At the bar.
09:06It's usually quiet, and I go there to study.
09:09But last night, it was packed with sailors.
09:11They were nice, just a little too drunk for my liking.
09:15So I left.
09:16Can anyone confirm what time you got home last night?
09:19I can.
09:21This is Annie's digital check-in.
09:24She got home at 10.20 p.m.
09:26Like the responsible tag sister she is.
09:28That's 30 minutes before Rivas was killed.
09:30Did they say where their plans were or where they were going?
09:32We really didn't talk much.
09:34The two of them were arguing a lot.
09:36About what?
09:38Um, it sounds kind of weird,
09:40but they were arguing about nukes.
09:45Nukes?
09:45Like nuclear weapons?
09:48I don't know.
09:50I hope not.
09:51Oh, honey.
09:53Nuclear weapons?
09:54Murder?
09:55What a night you had.
09:57But don't worry.
09:57I know just what you need.
09:59Tag house hug!
10:08Why would two junior enlisted sailors
10:10be arguing about nukes.
10:12Nuclear weapons?
10:13Why don't we ask Daniel Harvey?
10:15Police picked him up,
10:16and you'll never guess where.
10:21Seaman Daniel Harvey.
10:26So, how was, uh, the Lincoln Memorial?
10:31Inspiring.
10:32So the cops slammed me to the ground
10:34and brought me here.
10:36Didn't know it was a crime to go sightseeing.
10:38Well, it's not, but, uh,
10:41going AWOL is
10:42to be able to report to your command last night.
10:45And me and half the fleet.
10:47Why do I get the special treatment?
10:50Is this an act?
10:51Or does he really not know why he's here?
10:54What do you remember from last night, Danny?
10:57You remember stealing a cop car?
11:00What?
11:02No.
11:06Remember crashing that cop car?
11:10I don't know.
11:11I...
11:12Maybe I had a little too much to drink.
11:14I must have blacked out.
11:17Oh, Kyle.
11:18Petty Officer Kyle Rivas.
11:20Ask him.
11:21He'll vouch for me.
11:23That's gonna be a problem, Danny.
11:27We found Kyle's body in the trunk
11:29of that crashed cop car.
11:32We found your fingerprints on that knife.
11:37No.
11:38No, no.
11:39Kyle was my best friend.
11:40I would never hurt him.
11:41We've been through everything together.
11:43Except that was about to change.
11:45We have a witness who said
11:46you two were arguing last night about nukes.
11:49Well, we know you weren't talking about nuclear weapons.
11:52Navy nukes are the people
11:54that work on nuclear propulsion.
11:56You found a transfer order in Rivas' file.
11:59He wasn't coming back to the ship
12:01with you after Fleet Week, was he?
12:05Before we went out last night,
12:07he told me he'd applied to be a nuke.
12:09He said he was going to the Navy
12:10Nuclear Power School in South Carolina.
12:14Your best friend was about to leave you.
12:16I'd be pretty angry, too.
12:18Danny,
12:19if you can't remember stealing a cop car,
12:23then maybe you can't remember
12:24killing your buddy, either.
12:27The truth is starting to sink in.
12:29I almost feel sorry for him.
12:32Hey.
12:33What's up?
12:33I just got the toxicology report
12:35for Seaman Harvey and our victim, Rivas.
12:38Uh, okay.
12:38How old and drunk were they?
12:39That's the thing.
12:40They weren't.
12:42Yeah, they had alcohol in their system,
12:43but not enough to make them black out
12:45or stupid enough to steal a cop car.
12:47Yeah, it doesn't seem like Danny's lying.
12:49Oh, I don't think he is.
12:51Something messed with his head,
12:52and it wasn't the alcohol.
12:53I found a toxin in both of their systems.
12:56He and Rivas were poisoned.
12:58Could that cost them to black out?
12:59Oh, we're lucky if that's all they did.
13:01Any healthy immune system
13:03is going to fight that toxin tooth and nail.
13:05We're talking dangerous allergic reactions,
13:07vomiting, anaphylaxis.
13:09What about hives?
13:13We need to get Jimmy up here right away.
13:18Hey, Jimmy, we need you to walk.
13:21Wait, hold on.
13:22Slow down.
13:23Slow down.
13:24I'll be right there.
13:29When the ambulance gets here,
13:31this one's priority.
13:32Hey, Jimmy, what's going on?
13:34I don't know.
13:35They started complaining about nausea,
13:37dizziness, hives,
13:38and then they just started collapsing.
13:39Dr. Palmer.
13:41Well, it's the same symptom, eh?
13:42How many are getting sick?
13:44All of them.
13:55Okay, breathe in.
13:58And breathe out.
14:01All right.
14:02Sounding much better, Danny.
14:04Let's see.
14:05Your hives are already starting to clear up.
14:08You can take them back to interrogation now.
14:14So here's the last of them.
14:16Yeah.
14:16All stable, thankfully.
14:18Things could have been a lot worse
14:19if Casey hadn't traced all their symptoms
14:21back to that toxin.
14:22Left untreated?
14:23We're talking organ failure,
14:25even death.
14:26What the hell is this toxin?
14:28Casey's still researching it now,
14:30but initial symptoms seem to mimic
14:32the high one gets from amphetamines.
14:35Amphetamines?
14:36So it's like a drug?
14:38Does that mean that they took it willingly?
14:40I don't think so.
14:42None of the sailors in that file over there
14:44have any record of drug use.
14:46Plus, recreational drugs wouldn't trigger
14:48an immune storm 12 hours later.
14:51No, this wasn't designed for fun.
14:55This was designed to harm.
14:57It does explain the sudden uptick
14:59in sailors gone wild.
15:01You think the toxin is the reason
15:02that Fleet Week has been so crazy?
15:04That gives its victims one hell of a high.
15:06Could that also explain why Danny stole a cop car
15:10and stabbed his best friend?
15:12It's possible.
15:13There's still so much about this toxin
15:15that we don't know yet.
15:16If we knew what all these sailors had in common,
15:19that may tell us how they were exposed.
15:22Except I need answers now.
15:24I've got the vice admiral of the second fleet
15:26waiting for me upstairs.
15:27I need to tell him something concrete.
15:29Okay.
15:31In that case, Agent Parker,
15:33it is my medical opinion
15:35that someone is deliberately poisoning
15:37U.S. Navy service members.
15:39I just can't prove it yet.
15:43Find out what they all have in common.
15:45Yeah.
15:53Sorry.
15:54Looking for an outlet.
15:55Phone died.
15:56Busy day.
15:57Uh, Special Agent Alden Parker.
15:59You, uh, with the vice admiral?
16:00Yes, but I'm afraid he couldn't make it.
16:02Cooper Ellis,
16:03Second Fleet Stratcom advisor.
16:06Are we waiting on the director?
16:10Well, we would be,
16:11but I don't think the interim director
16:12is going to be as hands-on
16:14as his predecessor.
16:15Of course.
16:16And my condolences on your loss.
16:19I hear Director Vance
16:20was an impressive man.
16:23He was.
16:24I assume this is regarding the murder.
16:27Petty Officer Revis,
16:28have you made an arrest?
16:28We have.
16:29Seaman Daniel Harvey,
16:30a Liberty buddy.
16:33Another sailor.
16:35That's unfortunate.
16:37From a communications standpoint,
16:40the message of Fleet Week
16:41is strength through brotherhood.
16:43Well, then you're going to love
16:44this next part.
16:45Uh, we believe that service members
16:48are being poisoned,
16:49at least a dozen so far.
16:51That's terrible.
16:52Are they okay?
16:53They're all recovering,
16:55but only because
16:55they were treated quickly.
16:56So, for everyone's safety,
16:59I think it's best
16:59that all Fleet Week sailors
17:01return to their commands.
17:05I take it we're not talking
17:06about a bad case
17:07of food poisoning?
17:08No, we believe that there's
17:10someone trying to harm
17:11these service members.
17:12Do you have a lead on who?
17:14Or why?
17:15That we're working on it.
17:16Do you know how
17:17these sailors were poisoned?
17:20We're working on that too.
17:22Agent Parker,
17:22I'm beginning to suspect
17:23that this meeting
17:24was a bit premature.
17:25We're just trying to get ahead
17:26of the situation.
17:27As a PR rep, Mr. Ellis,
17:29I'm sure you can appreciate that.
17:30Strategic communications advisor.
17:33A little different.
17:35Of course.
17:36Thank you for briefing me
17:38on this, Agent Parker.
17:40I'll be sure to brief the admiral.
17:42And it will be brief.
17:44But for now,
17:45I suggest you just
17:46keep working on it.
17:49The moment you have
17:50something actionable,
17:50you know how to reach me.
18:02You made it look easy, Leon.
18:09Oh, what is this?
18:10Another line for the bathroom?
18:12No, this is just me
18:13trying to figure out
18:14what all these sailors
18:15have in common.
18:15Well, join the club.
18:16We got nothing.
18:17Yeah.
18:18They all come from different ships,
18:20hit up different parts
18:20of town last night.
18:21Yeah, they were eating
18:22at different restaurants
18:23and drinking at different bars.
18:25Yeah, we did a deep diving
18:26and we came up with nothing.
18:27You guys, the answer
18:28was right in front of our eyes
18:30and under their clothes.
18:33Come again?
18:34So when I was examining
18:35these sailors,
18:36I got to see them all
18:36with their shirts off.
18:37Guess what they all
18:38have in common?
18:40Chisel dabs.
18:42What?
18:43No.
18:44No.
18:44No, no, no.
18:45They all have
18:45brand new tattoos.
18:47Excuse me, everyone.
18:48Can you please
18:50show us your tattoos?
18:55Oh, great.
18:55Uh, no, sir.
18:56No, thank you.
18:57We will take your word
18:58for that.
18:59Okay, all right.
18:59Everyone, that'll do.
19:00Uh, as you were.
19:02Okay.
19:03The point is,
19:04all these sailors
19:05had fresh ink
19:06within the last 24 hours.
19:07I mean, even our victim,
19:08Rivas,
19:09had a brand new tattoo.
19:10Well, getting a tattoo
19:11is a Shirley tradition.
19:13Exactly.
19:14So if you wanted
19:15to secretly inject
19:16a toxin
19:17to a bunch of sailors,
19:18a tattoo would be
19:19the perfect delivery mechanism.
19:21How can we confirm it?
19:22Well, you gotta
19:23take a lot of samples.
19:24But if the tattoos
19:25are the source
19:26of the toxin...
19:27We need to find out
19:28where all these sailors
19:28got inked.
19:31Okay, just hold still.
19:33Wait, have you done
19:34this before?
19:35Have I ever
19:36biopsied a tattoo
19:37to see if the ink
19:37was toxic?
19:39No.
19:40Seriously?
19:40I don't know
19:41if I'm comfortable...
19:41And I'm done.
19:43You got the local anesthetic?
19:45So, since none
19:46of our sailors
19:46can remember
19:47where they got
19:47their tattoos,
19:48I've uploaded
19:49all of their
19:49phone location histories
19:51to see where
19:52their paths line up.
19:53They're all over the map.
19:54There's no overlap,
19:55except for the National Mall.
19:57Right, but no
19:58tattoo parlors there.
19:59Just museums and goats.
20:01Except now
20:02there are no goats
20:03there as well.
20:03Still no hit
20:04on the goat bolo?
20:05No.
20:06There was a few
20:07reported sightings,
20:08but nothing panned out.
20:09No, I think those
20:10goats are now ghosts.
20:12Yeah, and so
20:12is our tattoo parlor.
20:13You interviewed everyone.
20:14Yeah, everyone
20:16except for him.
20:18Seaman Harvey,
20:18have a seat
20:19and please show
20:20me your tattoo.
20:25Hi, Danny.
20:27You feeling better?
20:28Sure.
20:30Great.
20:32Listen,
20:33we're trying to find out
20:35where you got this tattoo
20:36because we think
20:39whoever gave it to you
20:41probably put some toxin
20:42in the ink.
20:44And you think that's
20:45what made me kill Kyle?
20:47We're still investigating.
20:49Save yourself the trouble.
20:52Even if I was
20:53out of my mind
20:54and I killed him,
20:55it doesn't matter.
20:58My best friend is dead.
21:01And nothing you say or do
21:03is
21:05going to bring him back.
21:07You're right.
21:08Your friend's not coming back.
21:10He's gone.
21:12But you're still here.
21:14So you have the opportunity
21:16to try to help
21:16other sailors
21:17who might be exposed
21:18to this toxin.
21:19and I think that Kyle
21:21would want that.
21:23Don't you?
21:30Okay.
21:32It smelled of exhaust.
21:34What did?
21:36The tattoo place.
21:38Like a running car.
21:40Maybe it was near freeway?
21:43It was small, too.
21:45The ceiling was low.
21:46I had to bend down the walk.
21:48Maybe the parlor
21:49wasn't near cars.
21:50Maybe it was a car.
21:52A mobile parlor.
21:54That's why there was no overlap
21:55on their location histories.
21:56Because they all got their tattoos
21:58in different places.
21:59From the same mobile tattoo parlor.
22:01Do you remember anything else?
22:04There were teeth.
22:10Hey, you two.
22:11Get back to the ship.
22:12You really don't want
22:13to get a tattoo from there.
22:14Back up.
22:17NCIS, we got a warrant.
22:18Open up or we're coming in.
22:22Back.
22:27Ready?
22:34Well, that's our tattoo artist.
22:41Looks like his killer
22:42was searching for something.
22:44Yeah, my money's on that
22:45toxic ink.
22:47I think he found it.
22:48It left us something.
22:51Stab wound.
22:55And a fresh tattoo.
22:57That was done in a hurry.
22:59The killer sent me a message.
23:02In Russian.
23:10Our dead tattoo artist
23:11is Gideon Mays,
23:13the sole owner
23:14of the Dragon Wagon
23:15Mobile Tattoo Parlor.
23:16Where all the sailors got inked.
23:18We found photos
23:19of their tattoos
23:19in May's phone.
23:21He was offering
23:21a Fleet Week special
23:23on social media.
23:24Free tattoos
23:24for all sailors.
23:26That deal is way too good
23:28not to have a catch.
23:29A catch like getting inked
23:30by a toxin?
23:31Yeah.
23:32Casey confirmed
23:33that the tattoos
23:33were the source.
23:34So this guy
23:35was luring U.S. sailors
23:36to his tattoo parlor
23:38in order to poison them.
23:39But he actually
23:39wasn't doing it for free.
23:41Somebody paid him.
23:42Five days ago,
23:43Mays only had
23:44$604.52
23:45in his bank account.
23:46But then on the
23:47first day of Fleet Week,
23:48he got a deposit
23:49of $50,000
23:50from an offshore account.
23:52And I have an idea
23:53how far offshore.
23:54Take a look at this.
23:59Now, according to Jimmy,
24:00this tattoo was inked
24:02after the tattoo artist
24:03was stabbed to death.
24:04The word is Russian
24:05for purge.
24:06It's also the calling card
24:07for this group,
24:08Pale Sun Brigade.
24:09You heard of them.
24:10State Department
24:11considers them
24:12a terrorist organization.
24:13Well, in Russia,
24:14they've been responsible
24:14for shootings and bombings
24:16against ethnic
24:17and religious minorities.
24:19They want to purge
24:20the world of anyone
24:20who is not them.
24:21But why purge
24:22the tattoo artist
24:23if he's working for them?
24:25Well, Pale Sun Brigade
24:26has been known
24:26to posthumously ink traders,
24:28so maybe Mays
24:29ready to double cross them?
24:30What about the toxic ink?
24:31Was it still in the van?
24:32Gone.
24:33We think the killer's still kidding.
24:35Which means there's nothing
24:36stopping them
24:36from doing this
24:37to more people.
24:42Agent Parker,
24:43we are mere hours away
24:44from the Fleet Week
24:45closing ceremonies.
24:46People are already gathering
24:47to watch the fireworks.
24:49What exactly
24:49do you want me to do?
24:50Shut it down.
24:51All of it.
24:53Because of tattoos
24:54that made some sailors sick.
24:55Because we believe
24:56a terrorist organization
24:57is targeting the U.S. Navy
24:58and you are organizing
24:59a U.S. Navy event.
25:02Maybe these terrorists
25:03are just trying to scare us
25:04into canceling the ceremony.
25:06Have you thought of that?
25:07We could be playing
25:07right into their hands.
25:09You asked for something
25:10actionable, Mr. Ellis.
25:12We have two dead bodies
25:14and a direct threat.
25:16You're the strategic advisor.
25:18Do your job.
25:19Advise the Admiral.
25:20Shut it down!
25:29Excuse me.
25:30What are you doing?
25:31Is this from
25:32the director's office?
25:33Who told you to do this?
25:34No, Parker, it's okay.
25:36They're not taking anything
25:37out of Vance's office.
25:38Those are files
25:39that are being returned
25:39from CID.
25:41Oh.
25:43Sorry.
25:43Just carry on.
25:47Hey.
25:48Uh...
25:49You okay?
25:50Yeah.
25:51I...
25:52I don't know how I am.
25:55I haven't had a second
25:55to think about it.
25:56Yeah, I understand that.
25:58I should be an expert
26:00in handling loss
26:01after this last year.
26:03I'm not sure
26:04that's how it works.
26:06Did you have something?
26:07Yes, and it's actually
26:09good news for Danny.
26:10Really?
26:10The guy just lost
26:11his best friend?
26:12Yeah, but whoever
26:13killed Rebus also killed
26:14the tattoo artist.
26:15Jimmy says the wound profiles
26:16are exactly the same,
26:17meaning that the same knife
26:19was used in both murders.
26:20But how was that
26:21good news for Danny?
26:22It sounds like he killed them both.
26:24Except he didn't kill
26:25either one.
26:26He couldn't have.
26:28Jimmy puts the tattoo artist's
26:30time of death
26:30at 9.30 p.m.
26:32At that same time...
26:33Danny was across town
26:34stealing a cop car.
26:36Exactly.
26:36He's innocent.
26:37But why would a Russian
26:38terror group kill
26:39the tattoo artist
26:40and then track down
26:41and murder a random sailor?
26:43Ah, that is a good question.
26:46We're still missing
26:47a big piece of the puzzle.
26:48Yeah, the Russian terror.
26:50Has Casey been able
26:51to find anything
26:52in the, uh,
26:53the dragon wagon
26:54that might help us
26:55drag him down?
26:56Unfortunately,
26:57she's been having
26:58some technical difficulties.
27:01Nothing is working.
27:03Mass spec keeps
27:04giving me error messages.
27:05My modem won't get any signal
27:07and my cell phone battery
27:08keeps dying.
27:09Well, Casey,
27:10that's a lot.
27:12Maybe it's time
27:13to get some new equipment.
27:14Don't say that.
27:15Okay, because this software
27:16upgrade was the last thing
27:17that Director Vance
27:23approved for me.
27:26God, I know that sounds stupid.
27:28No.
27:31It doesn't.
27:35We all honor him
27:36in different ways, Casey.
27:39Oh, I am.
27:41I did manage to get
27:42one result from mass spec
27:43before it conked out,
27:44but even that
27:44doesn't make any sense.
27:46Okay, show me.
27:47Okay, well,
27:48I finally managed
27:49to ID the toxin
27:51as a phenethylamine substitute.
27:54Very weird stuff.
27:55Not as weird
27:56as what I found
27:56in the tattoo ink.
27:58This ink is made
27:59with a chemical suspension
28:00that simply shouldn't exist.
28:02Oh, come on.
28:03Don't tell me
28:03he's aliens again.
28:04No.
28:05No.
28:06But whoever could
28:07design the suspension
28:08is a genius.
28:10I mean,
28:10they made
28:10the theoretical possible.
28:13What's that?
28:14Grad school thesis paper.
28:16It's the only research
28:17I found
28:17that outlines
28:18method for creating
28:19the suspension.
28:20Huh.
28:20We might want
28:21to talk to the author.
28:24Actually,
28:25we already have.
28:28Yes,
28:29I wrote this,
28:30but it was
28:31rejected
28:32by the chemistry department
28:33last year.
28:34Then how'd it get online?
28:37I may have
28:39posted it.
28:40They were wrong
28:41to reject it.
28:42It's good science.
28:43The chemical suspension
28:44is viable.
28:45We know.
28:46We found it.
28:47In the blood work
28:48of the sailors
28:49you met two nights ago.
28:50And inside that
28:51chemical suspension,
28:52we found a toxin.
28:53A dozen Navy
28:54service members
28:55were poisoned
28:56by your invention.
28:57No,
28:58I didn't do that.
28:59You didn't invent it?
29:00No, I did,
29:00but I didn't poison them.
29:02Then who did?
29:06You don't want
29:07to tell us
29:07that maybe
29:08your bank records will.
29:10Over the past six months,
29:11you were paid
29:11$200,000
29:13from an offshore account.
29:15Goodbye, student loans.
29:16Hello, Russian terrorists.
29:19Those are your employers, right?
29:21Not only yours,
29:22we believe
29:23they paid a tattoo artist
29:24to inject these sailors
29:26with your toxin.
29:27Annie,
29:28you need to tell us
29:29how we can find
29:30these Russians.
29:31Okay, see,
29:32the problem is
29:33I can't talk about this.
29:36I signed an NDA.
29:37With the terrorists?
29:39No.
29:40I mean,
29:41I really hope not.
29:43I thought they were
29:44a legit company.
29:45Who?
29:47Okay, Annie.
29:51Two people
29:52are dead.
29:54You really want
29:55going to go to prison
29:55over an NDA?
29:59Okay.
30:00Yes.
30:02This company paid me
30:03to synthesize
30:04the suspension,
30:05but they also paid me
30:07to test a
30:09mystery additive.
30:11I did.
30:12It worked.
30:13And I never heard
30:14from them again.
30:15Did you know
30:15that this additive
30:16was a toxin?
30:17No.
30:17You've got it wrong.
30:18The additive
30:19isn't a toxin.
30:20The suspension
30:21itself is toxic.
30:22That's why
30:23it shouldn't be
30:24in the human body.
30:25And I warned
30:25the company about this,
30:27but clearly
30:27they didn't listen
30:28because two nights ago
30:29I got an alert
30:30that the additive
30:31was walking around D.C.
30:33Excuse me?
30:34I tracked it
30:35to this bar.
30:36What do you mean
30:37you tracked it?
30:38How?
30:38I shouldn't have
30:39said that.
30:42I'm sorry.
30:43I think
30:44I need a lawyer now.
30:46I really can't
30:47afford to get sued.
30:53I think
30:53Annie's telling
30:54the truth.
30:55Which part?
30:56About the additive.
30:57It's not a toxin.
30:58Okay.
30:59I couldn't get
31:00mass spec
31:01to analyze
31:01the tattoo ink
31:02so I put it
31:03under a microscope
31:03and this is
31:04what I saw.
31:05The additive
31:06is nanorobotics.
31:08Essentially
31:08microscopic machines.
31:10Are you saying
31:10that all of these
31:11sailors have tiny
31:12machines inside of them?
31:13Doing what?
31:15Transmitting
31:15their location.
31:16We were wrong.
31:17The tattoos
31:18weren't designed
31:18to poison the sailors.
31:20That was an
31:20unintended side effect.
31:21The tattoos
31:22were designed
31:23to trap them.
31:24So this isn't
31:25terrorism.
31:27This is espionage.
31:28Someone is spying
31:30on the U.S. Navy.
31:40Okay, so all of
31:41the sailor's tattoos
31:42or rather
31:42the nanotrackers
31:44inside of them
31:44work essentially
31:45like liquid
31:46Bluetooth trackers.
31:48You know,
31:48the kind that you
31:48drop in your luggage.
31:50Right.
31:50It transmits a signal
31:51so you can follow it
31:52wherever it goes.
31:53That's how Annie
31:53tracked the sailors
31:54to the bar.
31:54Yes,
31:55and like the
31:56Bluetooth trackers,
31:57the nanotech
31:57can't transmit
31:58very far on its own
31:59and needs to piggyback
32:00on a more powerful device
32:02like our phones.
32:03The sailors' tattoos
32:04are the reason
32:05that our cellular phones
32:06keep dying.
32:06The constant signal
32:07is draining.
32:08And that signal
32:09is why Mass Tech
32:10keeps giving me
32:11error messages.
32:13Too much interference.
32:14Can we access
32:15this signal
32:16to find out
32:16who's tracking
32:17these sailors?
32:18Well, so far
32:18we've only been able
32:19to track
32:19who's been transmitting,
32:21namely the sailors
32:21with tattoos.
32:22But with Annie's help,
32:23I might be able
32:24to hack the signal
32:25and figure out
32:25who's tracking them.
32:26What about the ink itself?
32:28We didn't find any
32:28at the tattoo parlor,
32:29but shouldn't that
32:30be transmitting?
32:32Theoretically, yes,
32:32but if it's not
32:33near any phones...
32:35Or if it's
32:35in a Faraday cage...
32:36Then we can't track it.
32:37Now, the bigger concern here
32:39is why are terrorists
32:40tracking U.S. Navy sailors?
32:42Well, this is
32:43military-grade technology.
32:44How much you want to bet
32:45the Pale Sun Brigade
32:46is working for the Russians?
32:48Russian technology
32:49and American service members?
32:50I don't like
32:51the sound of that.
32:53I don't like
32:54the sound of that, though.
32:55We found an embedded
32:56ID number
32:57in the nanotrackers.
32:58We're in a search.
33:02That's weird.
33:03What?
33:04It's not Russian technology.
33:06It's ours.
33:12Agent Parker!
33:13I did what you asked.
33:15Fleet Wheat ceremony
33:16is canceled
33:17and I have a communications
33:18nightmare on my hands.
33:19What is so urgent
33:20that you needed to see me?
33:22Well, I was hoping
33:22you could clear up
33:23something for us
33:24before we hop on a call
33:25with the Secretary of Defense.
33:28SecDev?
33:29What's this about?
33:31You recognize that?
33:33It's a patent
33:34from nanotrackers.
33:35You filed it
33:36on behalf of
33:37the Defense Advanced
33:38Research Projects Agency
33:40two years ago.
33:41True, I worked for DARPA,
33:43but we parted ways.
33:44Actually,
33:45we were fired
33:46for cutting corners.
33:47So what?
33:49Aren't you supposed to be
33:50chasing down
33:51Russian terrorists?
33:52We were.
33:53And we thought
33:54we chased them
33:55to this offshore account.
33:57But when a warrant
33:58came through,
33:59I discovered
33:59it belonged to you.
34:00You used it
34:01to pay Annie Carson
34:02to find out
34:03how to incorporate
34:04these nanotrackers
34:05into the human body.
34:07The way we look at it,
34:09there are two possible
34:10explanations here.
34:11Either you are working
34:12some sort of
34:12off-book DOD operation.
34:14Or more likely,
34:15you stole the trackers
34:16on the way out the door
34:17and now you're trying
34:18to sell them to the Russians.
34:19I am not a traitor.
34:21Sir, we have a connection.
34:24SecDev's ready.
34:25Well, guess we're
34:26going to find out.
34:27Put him up on the screen.
34:29Wait, wait!
34:29Stop.
34:35Yes, I stole the nanotech.
34:37But I did it
34:38for our country.
34:40I was always going
34:41to give it back to DARPA.
34:42I just needed to show them
34:44that the tech was viable.
34:46And Fleet Week
34:46was the perfect proving ground.
34:48You had hundreds of sailors
34:49all looking to get tattoos.
34:50You used them
34:51as unwitting test subjects.
34:53How do you justify that?
34:54Because we've done it before.
34:56MK Ultra?
34:57The Edgewood-Aberdeen experiments?
35:00Come on, Agent Parker.
35:01What's a few sick sailors
35:03in the name
35:04of national security?
35:05National security?
35:06I think you just wanted
35:07your old job back.
35:08But hey,
35:09whatever helps you
35:10sleep at night.
35:11I sure hope you still
35:12have the rest of that ankle.
35:14It's safe.
35:14I picked it up
35:15from Mays a few days ago.
35:17I don't know
35:18how the Russians
35:18got involved,
35:19but I didn't involve them.
35:21Then who did?
35:22I don't know.
35:23I don't know.
35:24And he was the only
35:25other person
35:26who knew about the nanotech.
35:27No, someone else does too.
35:29Casey detected a ping
35:30on the nanotech signal.
35:31Someone's still
35:32tracking the sailors.
35:34Or they're tracking the ink.
35:36I mean, if he's
35:36telling the truth...
35:37I am telling the truth.
35:39Russians don't have the ink.
35:40That means they're
35:41still trying to get it.
35:42That's why they targeted
35:43the tattoo artist.
35:44They're looking for the ink.
35:45Yeah, except Ellis here
35:46had already taken it back.
35:48Yeah.
35:49Russia pivoted,
35:50started looking for sailors
35:51who had the ink
35:51in their bodies.
35:52Yeah, like Kyle Rivas.
35:53Realize that this means
35:54anyone with a tattoo
35:55is a possible dark area.
35:56Are you sure
35:57that we got them all?
36:14Hey, sailor.
36:15What's your name?
36:18Special Agent Nick Torres.
36:20Or you can call me
36:21Nick, Samantha.
36:23I'm so sorry.
36:24I thought you were a sailor.
36:26Yeah, well,
36:27are you looking for this?
36:29I don't know what that is.
36:30I'm sorry.
36:31I have to go check on
36:33something in the house.
36:34You're not going anywhere.
36:36Your sister Annie
36:37helped us track
36:38the nanotech signal
36:39back to a phone
36:39at this party.
36:40Your phone,
36:41as it turns out.
36:43Okay, well,
36:43it's not a party.
36:44It's a social.
36:46And this is an arrest.
36:47Turn around, please.
36:54Tag house hog!
36:56No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
36:59It's the fun police.
37:01Figures.
37:02I heard that.
37:03Samantha Barnes,
37:04you were under arrest
37:04for the murder
37:05of Gideon Mays
37:06and Navy Petty Officer
37:073rd Class Kyle Revis.
37:10Woo!
37:13My police!
37:14My police!
37:16My police!
37:18My police!
37:19My police!
37:21My police!
37:23My police!
37:27So the killer
37:28was another sorority girl?
37:30Mm-hmm.
37:30And a nosy one.
37:31Samantha's family
37:32is deep in debt
37:33and they recently
37:33cut her off financially.
37:35Yeah, but she found
37:36out that her sorority sister
37:37started working on
37:38cutting-edge nanotrackers.
37:40She saw her chance
37:41to make some money.
37:41So she hacked
37:42into Annie's research
37:43and started tracking
37:44their signal
37:45and when it finally turned on
37:46during Fleet Week,
37:47she made her move.
37:48Well, confessed to both murders.
37:50At first, she went
37:51after the tattoo artist.
37:52Wasn't that Russian terrorists?
37:54No.
37:54No, no, no, no.
37:55Turns out there were
37:56no terrorists.
37:57Samantha was just trying
37:58to throw us off her trail.
37:59Apparently, she was
38:00a Russian studies major.
38:01She was always going
38:02to sell those nanotrackers
38:03to the highest bidder
38:04on the dark web.
38:04But when she couldn't
38:05get the ink
38:06from the dragon wagon,
38:07she tracked the nearest signal
38:08to the National Mall.
38:09That's where she found
38:11Petty Officer Rivas.
38:12She stabbed him
38:13and then tried
38:14to cut off his tattoo.
38:15She was stopped
38:16by a herd of goats.
38:18Wait, did you just say goats?
38:19The goats
38:20that you were looking for?
38:21Yeah.
38:22Turns out Danny
38:22actually released them.
38:24Pretty much chased
38:25Samantha away.
38:26It is official.
38:27Fleet Week is crazy.
38:29Oh, goats are back home,
38:30by the way.
38:31Joggers spotted them
38:32grazing on Roosevelt Island.
38:33Well, it's nice to know
38:35the Fleet Week
38:35has at least one happy ending.
38:37Mm-hmm.
38:38For Danny,
38:39it is a much different story.
38:47I can't thank you enough,
38:49Agent Parker,
38:51for finding Kyle's killer.
38:54It ain't clear in my name.
38:57That means you still have
38:58a future in the Navy, kid.
39:02Thing is,
39:05Kyle's always right there with me.
39:08Every step of the way.
39:12How am I supposed
39:13to do this without him?
39:23Tell me about Kyle.
39:26What do you want to know?
39:29How'd you two meet?
39:32It's actually kind of
39:33a gross story.
39:36Well, now I definitely
39:36got to hear it.
39:41It was the first day
39:42of second grade.
39:45Lunchtime.
39:47My mom packed me
39:48a tuna sandwich
39:49and chocolate pudding.
39:51and there was this kid
39:54sitting at the table
39:55behind me.
40:12Hey, Parker.
40:15Thanks for coming.
40:17I know it's late.
40:19Are we really doing this?
40:21I mean, can it wait?
40:23I just don't know
40:24if I'm ready.
40:25It'd be a little hard
40:26to pack things up
40:27without any boxes.
40:29That's not why
40:29I called you here.
40:35What's this?
40:37Oh, this is a little
40:37something Vance
40:38had in his desk
40:39for a special occasion.
40:42Come on, everybody
40:43grab a glass.
40:48I didn't forget you, Nick.
40:56There's an extra glass?
40:58Yes.
41:00Yeah, there is.
41:08It's, uh...
41:09It's the last couple weeks
41:12non-stop.
41:13You know, one thing
41:14after the other.
41:15It just seems like
41:17the world would like
41:18nothing more than
41:18just, just to...
41:21move on.
41:23You know?
41:24And...
41:26to forget.
41:30But the only way
41:31I know how to get through this
41:32is by remembering him.
41:35And there's no one
41:36and I would rather
41:41remember him with
41:44all of you guys.
41:49So...
41:52to Leon.
41:53And...
41:53and...
42:10And...
42:14and...
