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