1
00:00:41,008 --> 00:00:43,277
Hello.
2
00:00:43,377 --> 00:00:45,113
Several blocks, still.
3
00:00:47,115 --> 00:00:48,849
I'd say maybe ten minutes.
4
00:00:48,949 --> 00:00:50,251
Mateen?
5
00:00:50,351 --> 00:00:51,685
Is he safe?
6
00:00:53,020 --> 00:00:55,623
Thank you, Bill.
7
00:01:03,864 --> 00:01:05,333
Inshallah.
8
00:02:01,822 --> 00:02:03,056
Yes, I understand you're upset,
9
00:02:03,157 --> 00:02:04,825
but this is not up
for discussion.
10
00:02:04,925 --> 00:02:07,228
I... No, I'm being
perfectly reasonable.
11
00:02:07,328 --> 00:02:08,896
And...
12
00:02:08,996 --> 00:02:11,131
Sweetheart, I can tell
those are fake tears
13
00:02:11,232 --> 00:02:12,733
even though I can't see you.
14
00:02:12,833 --> 00:02:14,868
All right, we're gonna talk
about this later tonight.
15
00:02:16,003 --> 00:02:17,405
Just know that I
love you and y...
16
00:02:22,276 --> 00:02:24,111
Hi.
17
00:02:25,679 --> 00:02:27,715
What was that?
18
00:02:27,815 --> 00:02:31,118
That was the never-ending
pushback of a preteen.
19
00:02:31,219 --> 00:02:32,886
It's exhausting.
20
00:02:32,986 --> 00:02:35,423
But Victoria's
the sweetest kid I know.
21
00:02:35,523 --> 00:02:37,124
Oh, sure,
whenever you're around.
22
00:02:37,225 --> 00:02:39,693
As soon as you leave, she morphs
into some devil spawn hell-bent
23
00:02:39,793 --> 00:02:42,162
on questioning every word
that comes out of my mouth.
24
00:02:42,263 --> 00:02:44,164
The wonders of adolescence. Hmm.
25
00:02:44,265 --> 00:02:45,799
So what are we
not discussing?
26
00:02:45,899 --> 00:02:47,835
Yeah, she wants
to go out this weekend
27
00:02:47,935 --> 00:02:49,537
with her friends to a movie.
28
00:02:51,539 --> 00:02:53,006
With boys.
29
00:02:53,106 --> 00:02:55,142
Her first group date?
30
00:02:55,243 --> 00:02:56,410
That's adorable.
31
00:02:56,510 --> 00:02:57,811
Okay, first off, no.
32
00:02:57,911 --> 00:02:59,213
It's not. Secondly,
33
00:02:59,313 --> 00:03:01,315
we don't use that word "date."
34
00:03:01,415 --> 00:03:03,083
Oh.
35
00:03:03,851 --> 00:03:05,686
I know that look.
What look?
36
00:03:05,786 --> 00:03:06,920
You purse your lips
like that
37
00:03:07,020 --> 00:03:08,689
whenever I order
pineapple on pizza.
38
00:03:08,789 --> 00:03:10,724
Well, if you want
to eat soggy pizza,
39
00:03:10,824 --> 00:03:12,426
you might as well
just dip it in water.
40
00:03:12,526 --> 00:03:14,695
Jess, you're biting your tongue.
Come on, just spill it. What?
41
00:03:14,795 --> 00:03:16,764
I just don't see
what the big deal is
42
00:03:16,864 --> 00:03:19,267
about Vic going out
on her first group...
43
00:03:19,367 --> 00:03:20,501
hang.
44
00:03:20,601 --> 00:03:22,303
The big deal is,
it's unchaperoned.
45
00:03:22,403 --> 00:03:24,538
The bigger deal is Austin.
46
00:03:24,638 --> 00:03:26,507
The city?
No, it's a boy.
47
00:03:26,607 --> 00:03:27,741
I don't know who he is.
48
00:03:27,841 --> 00:03:30,278
Vic talks about him nonstop.
49
00:03:30,378 --> 00:03:31,845
Austin.
50
00:03:31,945 --> 00:03:33,881
You know, you never forget
your first crush.
51
00:03:33,981 --> 00:03:37,217
Elliot Spencer had
the cutest dimples.
52
00:03:37,318 --> 00:03:39,086
Okay, well, she is not gonna
remember Austin because
53
00:03:39,186 --> 00:03:41,789
this thing's not happening,
not unless I get to tag along.
54
00:03:41,889 --> 00:03:43,090
Oh.
55
00:03:43,190 --> 00:03:44,825
You're doing
the pineapple lips again.
56
00:03:44,925 --> 00:03:46,960
I just don't know
if you want to be that dad.
57
00:03:47,060 --> 00:03:48,996
How does this make me that dad?
58
00:03:49,096 --> 00:03:51,365
I mean, she is way too young
for this, right?
59
00:03:51,465 --> 00:03:53,033
I wonder
if it's more about whether
60
00:03:53,133 --> 00:03:55,102
Vic is mature enough
to handle this?
61
00:03:55,202 --> 00:03:58,372
Oh, certainly she is,
but the boys are not.
62
00:03:58,472 --> 00:03:59,907
I used to be
one of those boys, okay?
63
00:04:00,007 --> 00:04:01,409
I know what hormones can do.
64
00:04:01,509 --> 00:04:02,710
And...
65
00:04:04,612 --> 00:04:06,980
Maybe just... sit with it.
66
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,082
You don't want to let
a knee-jerk reaction
67
00:04:09,182 --> 00:04:11,051
cause a rift
between you and your daughter.
68
00:04:12,986 --> 00:04:14,922
I'm getting pretty sick
of hearing myself say
69
00:04:15,022 --> 00:04:17,358
"Over my dead body" about this.
70
00:04:17,458 --> 00:04:18,426
That's good.
71
00:04:20,060 --> 00:04:21,629
That's bad.
72
00:04:21,729 --> 00:04:23,697
Speaking of bodies,
we have a body
73
00:04:23,797 --> 00:04:26,166
waiting for us in Norfolk.
74
00:04:27,735 --> 00:04:29,737
Austin.
75
00:04:29,837 --> 00:04:32,105
My first crush was
Emily Tisdale.
76
00:04:32,205 --> 00:04:34,041
Oh, man, I had
it bad for her.
77
00:04:34,141 --> 00:04:35,509
How'd you meet?
78
00:04:35,609 --> 00:04:36,710
Middle school.
79
00:04:36,810 --> 00:04:38,812
We were, uh, rivals. Mathletes.
80
00:04:38,912 --> 00:04:41,515
She could recite pi to a
thousand digits. It was so hot.
81
00:04:41,615 --> 00:04:42,716
What about you,
Nick?
82
00:04:42,816 --> 00:04:43,851
Yeah, bet you
had your choice
83
00:04:43,951 --> 00:04:45,686
of, uh, girls
crushing on you.
84
00:04:45,786 --> 00:04:47,821
Actually, pequeño Nico was a,
85
00:04:47,921 --> 00:04:50,257
uh, late bloomer.
What?
86
00:04:50,358 --> 00:04:52,493
I always figured you were
the boy parents were terrified
87
00:04:52,593 --> 00:04:54,194
to have
their daughters around.
88
00:04:54,294 --> 00:04:56,497
Well, believe it or not,
this handsome face was terrified
89
00:04:56,597 --> 00:04:58,499
of those daughters
until high school.
90
00:04:58,599 --> 00:05:00,200
So who brought you around?
91
00:05:00,300 --> 00:05:01,802
Oh, my Sofia.
92
00:05:01,902 --> 00:05:03,704
She was my first date.
93
00:05:03,804 --> 00:05:06,507
I was so nervous that I went
to the wrong restaurant.
94
00:05:06,607 --> 00:05:08,976
That's what Jimmy doesn't get.
95
00:05:09,076 --> 00:05:12,846
Victoria deserves a future
walk down memory lane about...
96
00:05:12,946 --> 00:05:15,282
Austin.
97
00:05:17,418 --> 00:05:19,787
Wow, that is
a lot of blood.
98
00:05:19,887 --> 00:05:23,223
Yeah, courtesy of what appears
to be a kitchen knife.
99
00:05:23,323 --> 00:05:25,426
My guess is, it severed
the carotid artery.
100
00:05:25,526 --> 00:05:27,227
And then he lost consciousness.
101
00:05:27,327 --> 00:05:29,096
And his heart kept pumping.
Who is he?
102
00:05:29,196 --> 00:05:32,199
He is
Marine Private William Huxley.
103
00:05:32,299 --> 00:05:34,535
Neighbor walking the dog
noticed the garage door open.
104
00:05:34,635 --> 00:05:35,836
Dog did the rest.
105
00:05:35,936 --> 00:05:37,237
Led him right in here
to this body.
106
00:05:37,337 --> 00:05:38,606
Time of death?
107
00:05:38,706 --> 00:05:40,408
Given lividity,
I would say he bled out
108
00:05:40,508 --> 00:05:42,175
somewhere around 12 hours ago.
109
00:05:42,275 --> 00:05:44,311
Look at all this
flour, sugar, oil.
110
00:05:44,412 --> 00:05:46,246
Enough ingredients
to feed an entire platoon.
111
00:05:46,346 --> 00:05:48,281
Yeah, I wonder
who he was cooking for.
112
00:05:48,382 --> 00:05:49,483
Not his family.
113
00:05:49,583 --> 00:05:50,951
According to Huxley's
service record,
114
00:05:51,051 --> 00:05:52,786
he was single, no kids.
115
00:05:52,886 --> 00:05:54,822
Ooh, that reminds me.
116
00:05:54,922 --> 00:05:56,490
I got to pick up chocolate chips
117
00:05:56,590 --> 00:05:58,158
for the twins'
bake sale cookies.
118
00:05:58,258 --> 00:05:59,259
Hey, McGee.
119
00:05:59,827 --> 00:06:01,462
It's too bad these are evidence.
120
00:06:01,562 --> 00:06:03,096
'Cause you could have...
121
00:06:03,196 --> 00:06:04,832
Unfortunately, Delilah insists
122
00:06:04,932 --> 00:06:06,767
upon at least 70% dark chocolate
123
00:06:06,867 --> 00:06:08,702
'cause it's healthier.
124
00:06:08,802 --> 00:06:10,370
As a doctor,
I can attest to that.
125
00:06:10,471 --> 00:06:13,006
More importantly,
way more delish, right?
126
00:06:13,106 --> 00:06:15,375
How about we finish grocery
shopping later and...
127
00:06:15,476 --> 00:06:16,944
figure out what happened here?
128
00:06:17,044 --> 00:06:19,813
Looks like the killer jumped him
as he unloaded the car?
129
00:06:19,913 --> 00:06:21,381
Guys, is it me, or does, uh,
130
00:06:21,482 --> 00:06:24,618
Huxley have a lot of gray hair
for a Marine private?
131
00:06:24,718 --> 00:06:26,487
He does look kind of elder
for a grunt.
132
00:06:26,587 --> 00:06:28,556
Yeah, you're right.
His license says Huxley was 46.
133
00:06:28,656 --> 00:06:30,591
Corps's oldest-serving private.
134
00:06:30,691 --> 00:06:31,659
There's got to be a story there.
135
00:06:31,759 --> 00:06:33,961
There is, and it's a whopper.
136
00:06:34,061 --> 00:06:35,796
According to his former C.O.,
137
00:06:35,896 --> 00:06:37,831
Huxley was
a gunnery sergeant who used
138
00:06:37,931 --> 00:06:39,800
to lead
a Marine Force Recon team.
139
00:06:39,900 --> 00:06:41,502
Force Recon?
140
00:06:41,602 --> 00:06:44,271
Wow, those guys are badasses.
They go toe to toe with SEALs.
141
00:06:44,371 --> 00:06:46,306
He must have really screwed up
to get busted down to private.
142
00:06:46,406 --> 00:06:48,375
He pulled multiple tours
in Afghanistan,
143
00:06:48,476 --> 00:06:51,344
then he went missing from his
unit after the U.S. withdrawal
144
00:06:51,445 --> 00:06:52,780
and, uh...
145
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:54,515
was declared a deserter.
146
00:06:54,615 --> 00:06:55,983
Where'd he go?
147
00:06:56,083 --> 00:06:57,985
Back to Afghanistan.
148
00:06:58,085 --> 00:06:59,887
Apparently,
Huxley returned to Kabul
149
00:06:59,987 --> 00:07:02,490
to sneak out
more families and allies
150
00:07:02,590 --> 00:07:04,224
who missed the airlift.
151
00:07:04,324 --> 00:07:07,127
He really held on to the Marine
code of "leave no man behind."
152
00:07:07,227 --> 00:07:08,562
Even at the risk
of his own career.
153
00:07:08,662 --> 00:07:10,197
Sounded like a hero to me.
154
00:07:10,297 --> 00:07:11,565
Yeah, well,
155
00:07:11,665 --> 00:07:13,901
clearly someone disagrees.
156
00:07:21,975 --> 00:07:24,311
All right, Doc, what do we got?
Stop.
157
00:07:24,411 --> 00:07:26,313
No food
while a body's on the table.
158
00:07:26,413 --> 00:07:27,815
There's a trash can
in the hallway there.
159
00:07:27,915 --> 00:07:30,417
Well, the only way
that I'm disposing
160
00:07:30,518 --> 00:07:32,185
of this, uh, deep-fried,
161
00:07:32,285 --> 00:07:33,787
perfectly pistachio-ed treat
162
00:07:33,887 --> 00:07:36,223
is in my belly.
Yeah, what kind of pastry is it?
163
00:07:36,323 --> 00:07:38,492
I don't know, but it's
the third one I've had today.
164
00:07:38,592 --> 00:07:40,027
It's like baklava, but...
165
00:07:40,127 --> 00:07:42,295
I've never tasted anything
like this before.
166
00:07:42,395 --> 00:07:43,764
Huh, where'd you get it?
167
00:07:43,864 --> 00:07:45,332
I was interviewing, uh,
one of Huxley's neighbors
168
00:07:45,432 --> 00:07:47,100
and she offered them, said
169
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,837
he baked treats for everyone
on the block all the time.
170
00:07:49,937 --> 00:07:52,706
Must be why he had all those
baking supplies in his SUV.
171
00:07:52,806 --> 00:07:56,510
The guy on your table was
a damn gastronomic genius.
172
00:07:56,610 --> 00:07:58,278
He was serving out
the rest of his tour
173
00:07:58,378 --> 00:08:00,347
as a Marine
food service specialist.
174
00:08:00,447 --> 00:08:01,982
He was demoted to a cook?
175
00:08:02,082 --> 00:08:03,150
A chef.
176
00:08:03,250 --> 00:08:05,485
A chef that we will avenge.
177
00:08:07,555 --> 00:08:09,923
Well, what do we know about
our Private Huxley here?
178
00:08:10,023 --> 00:08:12,492
Well, as I suspected,
cause of death was
179
00:08:12,593 --> 00:08:15,428
penetrating trauma
due to the knife wound.
180
00:08:15,529 --> 00:08:17,698
The murder weapon was
a paring knife
181
00:08:17,798 --> 00:08:19,933
that severed
the external carotid artery.
182
00:08:20,033 --> 00:08:22,435
Exsanguination took one,
maybe two minutes.
183
00:08:22,536 --> 00:08:24,037
Huxley was Special Ops-trained.
184
00:08:24,137 --> 00:08:25,973
It's hard to imagine anyone
would get the drop on him
185
00:08:26,073 --> 00:08:27,608
for a close-range kill.
186
00:08:27,708 --> 00:08:30,110
He must have known his attacker.
Allowed 'em to get close enough,
187
00:08:30,210 --> 00:08:31,812
catch him off guard.
188
00:08:31,912 --> 00:08:33,881
I heard, uh...
189
00:08:33,981 --> 00:08:36,216
your daughter caught you
off guard this morning.
190
00:08:36,316 --> 00:08:37,851
Something about
the, uh...
191
00:08:37,951 --> 00:08:39,587
big first date?
192
00:08:39,687 --> 00:08:41,454
We don't use that word "date."
193
00:08:41,555 --> 00:08:42,890
No, and there is none.
194
00:08:42,990 --> 00:08:44,157
At least not yet.
195
00:08:44,257 --> 00:08:46,059
You're thinking
about letting her go?
196
00:08:47,695 --> 00:08:50,030
Jess says that I should
"sit with it"
197
00:08:50,130 --> 00:08:52,265
so I don't make
any decisions clouded
198
00:08:52,365 --> 00:08:54,201
by parental emotions.
199
00:08:54,968 --> 00:08:57,470
You ever think
about doing a little, uh,
200
00:08:57,571 --> 00:09:00,140
light background check
on the kid?
201
00:09:00,741 --> 00:09:02,576
Nothing creepy.
Just, you know, maybe
202
00:09:02,676 --> 00:09:04,344
peruse
his social media accounts.
203
00:09:04,444 --> 00:09:05,613
That's not creepy?
204
00:09:05,713 --> 00:09:07,480
Checking his likes and dislikes
205
00:09:07,581 --> 00:09:09,683
to make sure
he's no juvenile delinquent
206
00:09:09,783 --> 00:09:11,719
like I was?
No, no, not at all.
207
00:09:11,819 --> 00:09:13,921
Oh, I-I guess kids
do put it all out
208
00:09:14,021 --> 00:09:16,089
on social media
for anyone to see.
209
00:09:16,189 --> 00:09:16,990
What could it hurt?
210
00:09:17,090 --> 00:09:18,692
Yeah.
211
00:09:18,792 --> 00:09:20,293
A paring knife is
212
00:09:20,393 --> 00:09:21,595
a chef's favorite.
213
00:09:21,695 --> 00:09:23,463
Small but mighty,
this bad boy can cut,
214
00:09:23,563 --> 00:09:26,399
chop, slice, and dice
with ninja precision.
215
00:09:26,499 --> 00:09:27,968
Any prints on it?
No.
216
00:09:28,068 --> 00:09:30,003
And given that the killer
left it in our victim's neck,
217
00:09:30,103 --> 00:09:31,872
they were likely smart enough
to use gloves.
218
00:09:31,972 --> 00:09:33,641
Any way to find out
where the knife came from?
219
00:09:33,741 --> 00:09:36,276
Well, it is a standard four-inch
stainless-steel blade,
220
00:09:36,376 --> 00:09:37,811
so not likely.
221
00:09:37,911 --> 00:09:39,412
Any chef who knows their way
around the kitchen
222
00:09:39,512 --> 00:09:41,281
has access to one, but...
223
00:09:41,381 --> 00:09:43,150
holster those
frowny faces because
224
00:09:43,250 --> 00:09:45,585
I found you
a bread crumb to nibble on.
225
00:09:45,686 --> 00:09:47,755
That paring knife
is covered
226
00:09:47,855 --> 00:09:51,224
in asafetida,
a popular spice primarily grown
227
00:09:51,324 --> 00:09:54,094
in Afghanistan and Iran.
228
00:09:54,194 --> 00:09:57,665
Parker did say that Huxley did
multiple tours in Afghanistan.
229
00:09:57,765 --> 00:09:59,466
Asafetida is a delicacy there,
230
00:09:59,566 --> 00:10:01,234
known as the "food
of the gods."
231
00:10:01,334 --> 00:10:03,570
Whoa.
232
00:10:05,172 --> 00:10:06,506
What he said.
233
00:10:06,606 --> 00:10:08,909
That pungent aroma
may be divisive to some,
234
00:10:09,009 --> 00:10:12,379
but once heated,
it releases a delicious flavor,
235
00:10:12,479 --> 00:10:14,715
similar to, uh, onions or leeks.
236
00:10:14,815 --> 00:10:17,050
So if our murder weapon
is covered in asa...
237
00:10:17,150 --> 00:10:17,951
...fetida,
238
00:10:18,051 --> 00:10:19,186
it most likely came
239
00:10:19,286 --> 00:10:20,220
from a kitchen well-versed
240
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:21,588
in Central Asian cooking.
241
00:10:21,689 --> 00:10:24,624
What if Huxley's killer
was a rival chef?
242
00:10:24,725 --> 00:10:26,994
Look at this, just pulled up
his doorbell cam footage.
243
00:10:27,094 --> 00:10:28,428
Look what I found.
244
00:10:28,528 --> 00:10:29,763
Get out here, Bill!
245
00:10:29,863 --> 00:10:32,232
I am done playing games.
If you steal
246
00:10:32,332 --> 00:10:35,903
one more of my catering clients,
I swear I will kill you!
247
00:10:36,937 --> 00:10:39,339
She makes
a really good Karen.
248
00:10:39,439 --> 00:10:40,440
As it turns out,
249
00:10:40,540 --> 00:10:42,542
her name actually is Karen.
250
00:10:42,642 --> 00:10:43,543
Karen Graham.
251
00:10:43,643 --> 00:10:45,078
Hey, names are fate.
252
00:10:45,178 --> 00:10:46,680
Fun fact, as a Parker
253
00:10:46,780 --> 00:10:48,448
I always find good parking.
254
00:10:49,883 --> 00:10:51,551
Well, this Karen is
the neighborhood busybody.
255
00:10:51,651 --> 00:10:53,653
She lives a few blocks
over from Huxley,
256
00:10:53,754 --> 00:10:55,655
and while she has
no arrest record...
257
00:10:55,756 --> 00:10:57,057
At least not yet.
258
00:10:57,157 --> 00:10:58,792
...well, she does have
a long record of calling
259
00:10:58,892 --> 00:11:01,294
the police to get others
arrested on H.O.A. violations.
260
00:11:01,394 --> 00:11:03,697
I've seen this type before.
Entitled. Volatile.
261
00:11:03,797 --> 00:11:06,633
It's just a matter of time
before they explode.
262
00:11:09,602 --> 00:11:10,904
No offense...
263
00:11:11,004 --> 00:11:12,572
Yet I am sensing
a coming offense.
264
00:11:12,672 --> 00:11:13,874
...but what
colorblind moron chose
265
00:11:13,974 --> 00:11:15,508
the palette of these offices?
266
00:11:15,608 --> 00:11:18,045
Not a fan of the, uh,
strong earth tones?
267
00:11:18,145 --> 00:11:20,748
Walking these hallways
seared my retinas.
268
00:11:21,715 --> 00:11:22,649
I'm happy to offer up
269
00:11:22,750 --> 00:11:24,451
my services to redecorate.
270
00:11:24,551 --> 00:11:25,618
Well, maybe
your services can be used
271
00:11:25,719 --> 00:11:27,020
to brighten up
the drab palettes
272
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,456
over at the Virginia
Correctional Center.
273
00:11:29,556 --> 00:11:31,391
Because that's where
you're headed for the murder
274
00:11:31,491 --> 00:11:32,826
of William Huxley.
275
00:11:34,161 --> 00:11:35,896
Uh...
276
00:11:35,996 --> 00:11:37,297
Bill's dead?
277
00:11:37,397 --> 00:11:39,166
Yeah, he was killed
last night in his garage.
278
00:11:39,266 --> 00:11:40,167
Not long
279
00:11:40,267 --> 00:11:41,301
after you showed up there
280
00:11:41,401 --> 00:11:42,502
threatening to kill him.
281
00:11:42,602 --> 00:11:43,871
See where we're going
with this?
282
00:11:43,971 --> 00:11:47,307
Well, I am sorry...
to hear about Bill.
283
00:11:47,407 --> 00:11:49,209
Really, I am.
284
00:11:49,309 --> 00:11:51,411
But I couldn't have killed him
last night.
285
00:11:51,511 --> 00:11:53,981
I was enjoying some...
286
00:11:54,081 --> 00:11:57,484
companionship
with my friend Javier.
287
00:11:57,584 --> 00:11:59,019
Hmm.
Hmm.
288
00:11:59,119 --> 00:12:00,187
He's 22.
289
00:12:00,287 --> 00:12:01,822
Good to know.
290
00:12:01,922 --> 00:12:05,258
We will, uh, be sure
to follow up with Javier.
291
00:12:05,358 --> 00:12:06,693
So we're done then?
292
00:12:06,794 --> 00:12:07,828
Not even close.
293
00:12:07,928 --> 00:12:09,963
How was a Marine cook
294
00:12:10,063 --> 00:12:12,099
stealing catering clients
from you?
295
00:12:12,199 --> 00:12:14,367
Karen's Confectionary
296
00:12:14,467 --> 00:12:17,004
supplies goodies to every
neighborhood gathering.
297
00:12:17,104 --> 00:12:19,639
At least it did until
Bill got back from overseas
298
00:12:19,739 --> 00:12:22,209
and started a side hustle
out of his own kitchen.
299
00:12:22,309 --> 00:12:23,343
Oh, we heard
300
00:12:23,443 --> 00:12:24,511
he was a talented baker.
301
00:12:24,611 --> 00:12:27,114
Oh, I would say he was...
302
00:12:27,214 --> 00:12:28,715
adequate.
303
00:12:28,816 --> 00:12:31,351
But he had that sob story pitch
about donating his profits
304
00:12:31,451 --> 00:12:34,154
to some local Afghan group
he worked with.
305
00:12:34,254 --> 00:12:36,156
Afghan, huh?
Oh, the neighbors--
306
00:12:36,256 --> 00:12:39,026
they ate up his woeful tale
of the displaced refugees
307
00:12:39,126 --> 00:12:41,561
fleeing their war-torn homes.
308
00:12:41,661 --> 00:12:44,998
And then they ate up
all his goodies
309
00:12:45,098 --> 00:12:46,333
instead of mine.
310
00:12:46,433 --> 00:12:48,969
What did Huxley do
with this Afghan group?
311
00:12:49,069 --> 00:12:50,537
They had some community center.
312
00:12:50,637 --> 00:12:52,672
Bill said he would
cook meals for them
313
00:12:52,772 --> 00:12:54,441
that would remind them of home.
314
00:12:54,541 --> 00:12:57,744
Seems like a waste
of time to me.
315
00:12:58,778 --> 00:13:01,281
Promises Honored is a lifeline
316
00:13:01,381 --> 00:13:02,816
for these poor people.
317
00:13:02,916 --> 00:13:04,751
Can you imagine having to start
318
00:13:04,852 --> 00:13:07,054
from scratch in a new country?
319
00:13:07,154 --> 00:13:08,555
Yeah, I can.
320
00:13:08,655 --> 00:13:09,722
Oh.
321
00:13:10,623 --> 00:13:13,160
Well, I hope you had
a community that welcomed you.
322
00:13:13,260 --> 00:13:16,129
That's the whole point
of Promises Honored.
323
00:13:16,229 --> 00:13:18,565
It's to keep the promise
we made to our Afghan allies
324
00:13:18,665 --> 00:13:20,367
who aided us overseas.
325
00:13:20,467 --> 00:13:21,601
By doing what exactly?
326
00:13:21,701 --> 00:13:23,703
Uh, we help
the families find homes,
327
00:13:23,803 --> 00:13:25,805
we assist
with their job training,
328
00:13:25,906 --> 00:13:27,340
and we teach them
the skills they need
329
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:28,842
to get by here in America.
330
00:13:28,942 --> 00:13:30,310
Well, it's great
that they have the space
331
00:13:30,410 --> 00:13:31,478
to come together like this.
332
00:13:31,578 --> 00:13:33,513
So many had to leave family
333
00:13:33,613 --> 00:13:34,747
and friends behind.
334
00:13:34,848 --> 00:13:36,249
Spending time here
335
00:13:36,349 --> 00:13:37,817
reminds them that...
336
00:13:37,918 --> 00:13:39,419
they're not alone.
337
00:13:39,519 --> 00:13:41,654
Oh, here.
338
00:13:41,754 --> 00:13:44,291
This is our director,
339
00:13:44,391 --> 00:13:45,692
Pastor Eddie Watkins.
340
00:13:45,792 --> 00:13:47,327
Hello there.
341
00:13:47,427 --> 00:13:48,461
And you would be...?
342
00:13:48,561 --> 00:13:50,030
Special Agent Torres
343
00:13:50,130 --> 00:13:51,965
and Special Agent Knight
from NCIS.
344
00:13:52,065 --> 00:13:53,901
They have some questions
about Bill.
345
00:13:54,001 --> 00:13:57,037
Oh. Uh, Bill is
our favorite volunteer.
346
00:13:57,137 --> 00:13:59,372
Is he okay?
347
00:13:59,472 --> 00:14:00,974
He was supposed to bake cookies
348
00:14:01,074 --> 00:14:02,809
with the kids today
and he never showed up.
349
00:14:02,910 --> 00:14:05,012
That's not like him.
350
00:14:05,112 --> 00:14:06,679
Unfortunately, Private Huxley
351
00:14:06,779 --> 00:14:09,116
was found murdered
earlier today.
352
00:14:10,450 --> 00:14:12,352
What?
I-I'm sorry.
353
00:14:12,452 --> 00:14:13,954
Murdered?
354
00:14:15,488 --> 00:14:17,524
Oh, my God.
355
00:14:17,624 --> 00:14:18,892
Bill-Bill was beloved by us.
356
00:14:18,992 --> 00:14:20,928
He spent every spare minute
he had here.
357
00:14:21,028 --> 00:14:22,495
His devotion
358
00:14:22,595 --> 00:14:25,365
to the Afghan people he worked
alongside was endless.
359
00:14:25,465 --> 00:14:27,000
Bill felt he owed a debt
to the families
360
00:14:27,100 --> 00:14:28,601
he couldn't get out
of Afghanistan.
361
00:14:28,701 --> 00:14:31,038
I understand that Bill used to
cook a lot for the refugees?
362
00:14:31,138 --> 00:14:32,405
That was Bill's specialty.
363
00:14:33,773 --> 00:14:35,208
All the Afghans
were impressed
364
00:14:35,308 --> 00:14:37,077
with his mastery
of their cuisine.
365
00:14:37,177 --> 00:14:39,913
We are gonna need
to see the kitchen.
366
00:14:40,013 --> 00:14:41,982
Yeah.
367
00:14:45,919 --> 00:14:47,754
You smell that?
368
00:14:47,854 --> 00:14:49,856
How could you not?
369
00:14:49,957 --> 00:14:52,359
Asafetida?
Yes, oh, yes.
370
00:14:52,459 --> 00:14:55,228
It stinks to high heaven,
but the flavor's divine.
371
00:14:55,328 --> 00:14:57,965
All his knives are here.
All except the paring knife.
372
00:14:58,065 --> 00:14:59,466
Handle matches
the murder weapon.
373
00:14:59,566 --> 00:15:01,401
Who has access to this kitchen?
374
00:15:01,501 --> 00:15:03,570
Um, this is a community kitchen.
375
00:15:03,670 --> 00:15:05,172
Everyone can just walk right in.
376
00:15:05,272 --> 00:15:06,506
Anybody had a problem
with Huxley?
377
00:15:06,606 --> 00:15:07,674
No.
378
00:15:07,774 --> 00:15:09,276
Everyone loved Bill.
379
00:15:09,376 --> 00:15:11,878
Everyone?
Mateen.
380
00:15:12,612 --> 00:15:14,314
Who is Mateen?
381
00:15:14,414 --> 00:15:16,416
Mateen Jamaah.
382
00:15:17,417 --> 00:15:19,552
He's a young refugee
we work with.
383
00:15:19,652 --> 00:15:22,655
He and Bill had a...
384
00:15:22,755 --> 00:15:24,257
strained relationship.
385
00:15:24,357 --> 00:15:26,859
Why?
The Taliban executed
Mateen's parents
386
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,262
before Bill and his unit
could get them out.
387
00:15:29,362 --> 00:15:31,999
Oh, my God.
388
00:15:32,099 --> 00:15:33,800
I saw Mateen and Bill
arguing here
389
00:15:33,900 --> 00:15:35,268
yesterday at-at the center.
390
00:15:35,368 --> 00:15:36,736
What about?
Well, I couldn't hear.
391
00:15:36,836 --> 00:15:38,071
But it looked heated.
392
00:15:38,171 --> 00:15:39,839
Mateen left
and I went over to Bill.
393
00:15:39,939 --> 00:15:41,574
He said it was nothing.
394
00:15:43,076 --> 00:15:45,478
Mateen was supposed
to help us sort
395
00:15:45,578 --> 00:15:48,515
through clothing donations last
night, but he never showed up.
396
00:15:50,483 --> 00:15:52,785
Guess he had other plans.
397
00:16:03,130 --> 00:16:05,898
Mateen Jamaah arrived
on a flight from Kabul
398
00:16:05,999 --> 00:16:07,434
August 20 of 2021.
399
00:16:07,534 --> 00:16:09,702
Promises Honored helped him
settle into an apartment,
400
00:16:09,802 --> 00:16:11,438
which we searched,
but came up empty.
401
00:16:11,538 --> 00:16:13,440
I've been trying to ping
his cell, but it's turned off.
402
00:16:13,540 --> 00:16:15,875
What about his work?
He stocked shelves
at a grocery store.
403
00:16:15,975 --> 00:16:17,377
Manual labor?
404
00:16:17,477 --> 00:16:19,379
His file says that
he was a mechanical engineer
405
00:16:19,479 --> 00:16:21,381
who helped our forces
defend against IEDs.
406
00:16:21,481 --> 00:16:22,949
Now he's stocking shelves?
407
00:16:23,050 --> 00:16:25,285
Must have fallen into
the credentials gap trap.
408
00:16:25,385 --> 00:16:26,653
A lot of refugees' degrees
409
00:16:26,753 --> 00:16:27,987
aren't recognized
here in the States.
410
00:16:28,088 --> 00:16:30,290
What was Mateen's connection
to Private Huxley?
411
00:16:30,390 --> 00:16:32,225
Mateen's father worked
alongside Huxley for years
412
00:16:32,325 --> 00:16:33,326
as an interpreter.
413
00:16:33,426 --> 00:16:34,627
And, according
to Mateen,
414
00:16:34,727 --> 00:16:35,928
the two men practically
became brothers.
415
00:16:36,029 --> 00:16:37,397
Huxley helped Mateen flee,
416
00:16:37,497 --> 00:16:39,399
but he didn't
get Mateen's parents out
417
00:16:39,499 --> 00:16:41,334
before the Taliban caught them.
418
00:16:41,434 --> 00:16:42,369
And he never forgave him.
419
00:16:42,469 --> 00:16:43,903
His family's gone.
420
00:16:44,003 --> 00:16:45,272
Career's gone.
421
00:16:45,372 --> 00:16:47,374
You don't think he blames Huxley
for everything?
422
00:16:47,474 --> 00:16:49,109
Well, we can ask him ourselves.
423
00:16:49,209 --> 00:16:52,179
Mateen's boss says
he just came in to work.
Go. Take McGee.
424
00:16:53,346 --> 00:16:56,416
Must be tough going from
engineer to grocery bagger.
425
00:16:56,516 --> 00:16:57,817
Yeah, I mean, I...
426
00:16:57,917 --> 00:16:59,886
I get why Mateen is
bitter, but s-still...
427
00:16:59,986 --> 00:17:02,422
Yeah, and don't take it out on
the Marine who helped you out.
428
00:17:02,522 --> 00:17:03,656
Oh, hello.
429
00:17:03,756 --> 00:17:05,525
I am Special Agent Torres.
430
00:17:05,625 --> 00:17:07,727
This is Special Agent McGee
from NCIS.
431
00:17:07,827 --> 00:17:09,028
We're looking for Mateen Jamaah.
432
00:17:09,129 --> 00:17:11,464
He'll be back any moment
from his break.
433
00:17:11,564 --> 00:17:13,600
Is Mateen in trouble?
434
00:17:13,700 --> 00:17:15,868
No, we just-we just
want to talk.
435
00:17:16,903 --> 00:17:19,772
Are, uh, are most of the workers
here Afghan refugees?
436
00:17:20,907 --> 00:17:22,642
We were all lucky enough
to get out
437
00:17:22,742 --> 00:17:24,711
in the final days
before Kabul fell.
438
00:17:24,811 --> 00:17:27,180
And Promises Honored connected
you all with the jobs here?
439
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:28,648
Most of us.
440
00:17:28,748 --> 00:17:30,883
Pastor Eddie knows the family
that owns the store.
441
00:17:30,983 --> 00:17:33,052
How are you, uh,
finding America so far?
442
00:17:33,153 --> 00:17:36,589
My family and
I have our lives.
443
00:17:36,689 --> 00:17:39,025
We're immensely
grateful for that.
444
00:17:39,126 --> 00:17:41,761
Well, it doesn't make
starting over any easier.
445
00:17:41,861 --> 00:17:42,795
No.
446
00:17:42,895 --> 00:17:44,597
It does not.
447
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:49,736
Oh, hey, McGee,
448
00:17:49,836 --> 00:17:52,439
you said you need to get those,
uh, chocolate chips.
449
00:17:52,539 --> 00:17:54,941
Oh, no, at least
70% dark chocolate.
450
00:17:55,041 --> 00:17:57,377
70% dark.
Uh, I got to
go grab those. You...
451
00:17:57,477 --> 00:17:58,411
Aisle three.
Baking goods.
452
00:17:58,511 --> 00:18:00,713
Thank you.
Mm-hmm.
453
00:18:02,749 --> 00:18:05,118
I wasn't a refugee.
454
00:18:06,719 --> 00:18:08,688
But I remember
looking over my shoulder,
455
00:18:08,788 --> 00:18:10,790
afraid that someone was coming
to send me back.
456
00:18:10,890 --> 00:18:13,160
Where was home for you?
457
00:18:13,260 --> 00:18:14,227
Panama.
458
00:18:14,327 --> 00:18:15,428
And then Colombia,
459
00:18:15,528 --> 00:18:17,464
uh, with my sister and my mom.
460
00:18:17,564 --> 00:18:19,132
My mom worked as a housekeeper
461
00:18:19,232 --> 00:18:21,201
for a man that
she found out was evil,
462
00:18:21,301 --> 00:18:23,069
and she saw some
463
00:18:23,170 --> 00:18:24,471
really bad stuff.
464
00:18:24,571 --> 00:18:26,873
I understand.
465
00:18:26,973 --> 00:18:28,908
We left with
466
00:18:29,008 --> 00:18:31,478
whatever we had on our back,
and we came to United States.
467
00:18:31,578 --> 00:18:33,813
How old were you?
I was 11.
468
00:18:33,913 --> 00:18:36,749
The only English I knew was, uh,
469
00:18:36,849 --> 00:18:39,952
from watching, uh, reruns
of American, uh, television.
470
00:18:40,987 --> 00:18:43,723
Ayy!
471
00:18:45,225 --> 00:18:46,726
You... Okay.
472
00:18:46,826 --> 00:18:48,861
So, no Happy Days
in Afghanistan.
473
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,868
When did life feel normal again?
474
00:18:57,670 --> 00:19:01,007
Some days, still doesn't.
475
00:19:04,344 --> 00:19:05,812
But this is our home.
476
00:19:10,617 --> 00:19:13,152
Ah, Mateen.
There you are.
477
00:19:14,721 --> 00:19:17,056
Hey, Mateen, uh,
Special Agent Torres.
478
00:19:18,157 --> 00:19:20,059
Hey, Mateen!
479
00:19:21,361 --> 00:19:23,596
McGee, we got a runner!
480
00:19:29,502 --> 00:19:31,037
You're only making this worse!
481
00:19:38,711 --> 00:19:40,980
Whoa, whoa, whoa, where'd he go?
You okay?
482
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:43,516
I'm fine.
Go get him, go get him.
483
00:19:49,589 --> 00:19:50,823
Mateen's gone.
484
00:19:50,923 --> 00:19:51,991
Nick!
485
00:19:52,091 --> 00:19:53,526
Nick, Nick.
486
00:19:54,561 --> 00:19:56,596
Get him on
his back, now.
487
00:19:56,696 --> 00:19:58,130
First aid's
on aisle five.
488
00:19:58,231 --> 00:20:00,066
Bring me gauze pads,
rubbing alcohol and shears.
489
00:20:00,166 --> 00:20:02,769
Medical tape's out of stock, so
get me duct tape, aisle seven.
490
00:20:02,869 --> 00:20:04,437
Your friend
might be concussed
491
00:20:04,537 --> 00:20:07,607
and is losing blood. I need
to stop it then stabilize him.
492
00:20:07,707 --> 00:20:08,875
You're a doctor.
A surgeon
493
00:20:08,975 --> 00:20:10,777
back in Afghanistan. Okay.
494
00:20:11,878 --> 00:20:14,814
You will be okay, Agent Torres.
495
00:20:21,388 --> 00:20:23,222
Any update on Nick?
496
00:20:23,323 --> 00:20:25,558
Uh, yes, McGee is with him
at the hospital now
497
00:20:25,658 --> 00:20:27,260
and he should be fine,
498
00:20:27,360 --> 00:20:29,061
thanks to the fast work of that
doctor in the grocery store.
499
00:20:29,161 --> 00:20:30,997
BOLO's out on
Mateen Jamaah.
500
00:20:31,097 --> 00:20:32,164
No hits yet.
501
00:20:32,265 --> 00:20:33,633
I've been running
facial recognition
502
00:20:33,733 --> 00:20:35,802
against every camera feed
I could find for blocks.
503
00:20:35,902 --> 00:20:37,036
No sign of him.
504
00:20:37,136 --> 00:20:38,505
Well, we have agents
sitting in front
505
00:20:38,605 --> 00:20:39,906
of his house
in case he comes home.
506
00:20:40,006 --> 00:20:42,041
I had the contents
of Mateen's work locker
507
00:20:42,141 --> 00:20:43,676
sent here so we could
look for clues
508
00:20:43,776 --> 00:20:45,445
that might help us find him.
What are all the stains?
509
00:20:45,545 --> 00:20:47,947
Mass spec's running it now.
I should know soon.
510
00:20:48,047 --> 00:20:50,317
Okay, great, uh, let me know
when you find out.
511
00:20:55,422 --> 00:20:58,057
Does that say...
512
00:20:58,157 --> 00:20:59,992
Austin Marsden?
513
00:21:00,092 --> 00:21:01,628
Jimmy,
514
00:21:01,728 --> 00:21:05,097
are you cyberstalking the boy
who's crushing on Victoria?
515
00:21:05,197 --> 00:21:06,899
No. No.
516
00:21:06,999 --> 00:21:09,436
I was just perusing,
and then I needed
517
00:21:09,536 --> 00:21:11,738
Kasie's second opinion
on what I...
518
00:21:11,838 --> 00:21:13,205
perused.
Uh-huh.
519
00:21:13,306 --> 00:21:15,975
Yeah, and my opinion is
520
00:21:16,075 --> 00:21:17,510
Jimmy's gone mental. Mm.
521
00:21:17,610 --> 00:21:19,646
Okay, I make no apologies.
522
00:21:19,746 --> 00:21:22,382
Austin Marsden
is exhibiting some early
523
00:21:22,482 --> 00:21:23,650
serial killer tendencies.
524
00:21:23,750 --> 00:21:24,784
This boy's barely hit puberty.
525
00:21:24,884 --> 00:21:26,453
It's all in the details here.
526
00:21:26,553 --> 00:21:28,621
Uh, take a look at some of these
foodie pics that he's posted.
527
00:21:28,721 --> 00:21:31,624
Nothing but rare burgers
and steaks.
528
00:21:31,724 --> 00:21:33,860
I mean, that is a scary sign.
529
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:35,795
A sign that
his growing body
530
00:21:35,895 --> 00:21:37,263
is in desperate
need of protein?
531
00:21:37,364 --> 00:21:40,166
What? No. Like, no...
The-These are basically
532
00:21:40,266 --> 00:21:42,201
mutilated animals.
This is how Dahmer and Bundy
533
00:21:42,301 --> 00:21:44,303
and Gacy all got
their first tastes.
534
00:21:44,404 --> 00:21:46,305
You are reaching, Jimmy.
535
00:21:46,406 --> 00:21:48,575
Okay, that may be,
536
00:21:48,675 --> 00:21:50,877
but... uh, just to be safe,
537
00:21:50,977 --> 00:21:53,245
I think it's time that Austin
and I had a little chat
538
00:21:53,346 --> 00:21:54,313
before the kids meet up.
539
00:21:54,414 --> 00:21:55,482
A little chat?
540
00:21:55,582 --> 00:21:57,049
Yeah, here, at NCIS.
541
00:21:57,149 --> 00:21:59,185
I'll give his whole
family a tour. That way,
542
00:21:59,285 --> 00:22:02,355
Austin can see
what a capable doctor I am.
543
00:22:03,189 --> 00:22:05,625
And also see all
the sharp knives I work with.
544
00:22:05,725 --> 00:22:11,163
Ooh. He has cannonballed into
the overprotective deep end.
545
00:22:14,233 --> 00:22:17,036
Neither of you is the father
to a daughter.
546
00:22:19,739 --> 00:22:22,308
You can't understand it.
547
00:22:24,076 --> 00:22:24,777
Um...
548
00:22:24,877 --> 00:22:26,245
Just got the results
549
00:22:26,345 --> 00:22:27,680
from Mateen's jacket.
550
00:22:27,780 --> 00:22:30,550
The stains are motor oil.
551
00:22:30,650 --> 00:22:32,385
But Mateen doesn't even
own a car.
552
00:22:32,485 --> 00:22:35,187
Maybe he works on them?
It's not just oil
he's working with.
553
00:22:35,287 --> 00:22:38,525
There were also trace amounts
of pentaerythritol tetranitrate,
554
00:22:38,625 --> 00:22:42,261
which is a highly explosive
organic compound.
555
00:22:42,361 --> 00:22:43,930
Motor oil and explosives.
556
00:22:44,030 --> 00:22:48,701
In the hands of a mechanical
engineer who worked with IEDs.
557
00:22:48,801 --> 00:22:50,336
I don't even want to say
what I'm thinking.
558
00:22:50,437 --> 00:22:52,539
It sounds like he's trying
to build a car bomb.
559
00:22:53,372 --> 00:22:55,508
Jimmy just gonna
say it for you.
560
00:22:55,608 --> 00:22:57,677
You sure you don't need
a few days, Agent Torres?
561
00:22:57,777 --> 00:22:58,945
I'm good.
562
00:22:59,045 --> 00:23:00,447
Good, 'cause we need
all hands on deck
563
00:23:00,547 --> 00:23:03,249
if we could be facing
an imminent attack.
564
00:23:03,349 --> 00:23:06,085
My phone's been ringing off the
hook from agencies across town
565
00:23:06,185 --> 00:23:08,087
wondering
if a Taliban sympathizer
566
00:23:08,187 --> 00:23:10,256
may have slipped through
the cracks on our airlift.
567
00:23:10,356 --> 00:23:12,525
We doubt that Mateen is
aligned with the Taliban,
568
00:23:12,625 --> 00:23:14,727
given what happened to
his mother and father.
569
00:23:14,827 --> 00:23:15,928
He could be trying
to strike back at a country
570
00:23:16,028 --> 00:23:17,196
he feels abandoned him.
571
00:23:17,296 --> 00:23:18,465
A revenge attack
572
00:23:18,565 --> 00:23:19,966
because his parents
never made it out.
573
00:23:20,066 --> 00:23:21,734
Then why kill Private Huxley?
574
00:23:21,834 --> 00:23:22,969
If Mateen is building a bomb
575
00:23:23,069 --> 00:23:24,704
and Private Huxley
found out about it,
576
00:23:24,804 --> 00:23:25,938
maybe that's why
Mateen killed him.
577
00:23:26,038 --> 00:23:27,940
Find Mateen. Now.
578
00:23:30,342 --> 00:23:31,844
Hey. Dr. Rajab.
579
00:23:31,944 --> 00:23:32,979
What are you doing here?
580
00:23:33,079 --> 00:23:34,581
Please, it's Veeda.
581
00:23:34,681 --> 00:23:36,248
And what kind of
doctor would I be
582
00:23:36,348 --> 00:23:38,551
if I didn't do a follow-up
with my patient?
583
00:23:38,651 --> 00:23:40,419
Right.
May I?
584
00:23:41,420 --> 00:23:42,755
Sure.
585
00:23:42,855 --> 00:23:46,659
Whoever stitched you up
did an okay job, but...
586
00:23:46,759 --> 00:23:47,994
I could have done better.
587
00:23:48,094 --> 00:23:49,796
Well, maybe you
should have escorted me
588
00:23:49,896 --> 00:23:51,330
to the emergency room.
589
00:23:53,566 --> 00:23:56,268
Veeda is the one
who came to Nick's aid.
590
00:23:56,368 --> 00:23:57,837
I'm getting that.
591
00:23:58,638 --> 00:24:02,809
Sorry to intrude, but I
heard about Bill Huxley.
592
00:24:02,909 --> 00:24:04,343
He was a good man.
593
00:24:04,443 --> 00:24:06,312
Do you really think
Mateen did this?
594
00:24:06,412 --> 00:24:08,515
It's just hard to believe
that he could do
595
00:24:08,615 --> 00:24:09,782
something
so horrible.
596
00:24:09,882 --> 00:24:12,184
He's kind and
polite to everyone.
597
00:24:12,284 --> 00:24:14,887
Working two jobs just
to make ends meet.
598
00:24:14,987 --> 00:24:16,623
Mateen has a second job?
599
00:24:16,723 --> 00:24:20,226
Back in Kabul, he'd help
repair your military vehicles.
600
00:24:20,326 --> 00:24:22,929
So he isn't just a mechanical
engineer, he's also a mechanic?
601
00:24:23,029 --> 00:24:25,197
Yes. Doing
the same here.
602
00:24:25,297 --> 00:24:27,734
Paid-- what do
Americans say--
603
00:24:27,834 --> 00:24:28,801
under the table.
604
00:24:28,901 --> 00:24:30,169
Auto repair shop
605
00:24:30,269 --> 00:24:32,338
would have metalworking tools.
And tools
606
00:24:32,438 --> 00:24:35,207
that Mateen would need
if he was in fact making...
607
00:24:37,476 --> 00:24:39,045
...something.
608
00:24:39,145 --> 00:24:40,847
We need to find Mateen.
609
00:24:40,947 --> 00:24:42,582
Do you know
where he was fixing cars?
610
00:24:42,682 --> 00:24:44,183
I don't. I'm sorry.
611
00:24:44,283 --> 00:24:45,417
And Mateen ditched his phone.
612
00:24:45,518 --> 00:24:47,319
But if he made
any previous calls
613
00:24:47,419 --> 00:24:49,789
from an auto shop, would have
bounced off the nearest tower.
614
00:24:49,889 --> 00:24:51,624
I'll pull his call logs,
see which tower
615
00:24:51,724 --> 00:24:53,960
is near a
repair place.
616
00:25:06,639 --> 00:25:08,274
Federal
agents!
617
00:25:09,475 --> 00:25:10,209
Drop the drill.
618
00:25:10,309 --> 00:25:12,745
Back away from the bomb.
619
00:25:12,845 --> 00:25:15,047
Put your hands
slowly behind your head.
620
00:25:15,147 --> 00:25:17,216
I'm sorry I ran before.
621
00:25:17,316 --> 00:25:20,186
But please just let me explain
before they get here.
622
00:25:20,286 --> 00:25:21,554
Who's they?
623
00:25:23,956 --> 00:25:25,858
Gun!
624
00:25:26,559 --> 00:25:28,595
There it is!
625
00:25:33,099 --> 00:25:34,366
What are you doing?!
626
00:25:34,466 --> 00:25:35,868
Shooting at the guys
that are shooting at us!
627
00:25:35,968 --> 00:25:37,136
Don't shoot towards the bomb!
628
00:25:37,236 --> 00:25:38,605
Well, if it goes off,
it'll kill them.
629
00:25:38,705 --> 00:25:40,006
And us, too.
630
00:25:45,678 --> 00:25:47,246
What the hell's
going on?
631
00:25:57,023 --> 00:25:58,625
Who were you building
that bomb for?
632
00:25:58,725 --> 00:26:01,393
You must believe me
when I say I have no idea.
633
00:26:02,194 --> 00:26:03,229
My only contact
634
00:26:03,329 --> 00:26:04,396
with them was through texts.
635
00:26:04,496 --> 00:26:06,866
But you did what
they said. Why?
636
00:26:08,300 --> 00:26:10,269
My fiancée, Asal.
637
00:26:10,369 --> 00:26:12,471
She is in danger.
638
00:26:12,571 --> 00:26:14,540
She is my everything.
639
00:26:14,641 --> 00:26:16,108
The only family I have left.
640
00:26:16,208 --> 00:26:18,978
Is she being held
by the men who took the bomb?
No.
641
00:26:19,078 --> 00:26:21,681
Asal and I were separated
during the airlift.
642
00:26:21,781 --> 00:26:23,549
She's been stuck
at a camp in Turkey.
643
00:26:23,650 --> 00:26:24,951
How do you know
she's in danger?
644
00:26:25,051 --> 00:26:27,486
I got a text from
an unknown number weeks ago.
645
00:26:27,586 --> 00:26:29,689
Photos of Asal
at the camp.
646
00:26:29,789 --> 00:26:32,158
She looked so scared.
647
00:26:34,226 --> 00:26:37,496
Whoever sent the photos said
I had to build them a bomb
648
00:26:37,596 --> 00:26:38,965
or they would kill her.
649
00:26:39,065 --> 00:26:41,367
How many innocent people
will be killed
650
00:26:41,467 --> 00:26:42,534
when they use that bomb?
651
00:26:42,635 --> 00:26:43,836
No one will.
652
00:26:43,936 --> 00:26:45,171
The bomb is harmless.
It was filled
653
00:26:45,271 --> 00:26:47,039
with explosive materials
found on your jacket.
654
00:26:47,139 --> 00:26:48,908
Yes, but I built it
with a fail-safe.
655
00:26:49,008 --> 00:26:52,011
The remote detonator mechanism
I inserted doesn't work.
656
00:26:52,111 --> 00:26:53,145
It's a dud?
657
00:26:53,245 --> 00:26:54,246
I would never give them something
658
00:26:54,346 --> 00:26:55,748
that could actually hurt people.
659
00:26:55,848 --> 00:26:57,917
I fled my homeland
because of vile men like that.
660
00:27:02,154 --> 00:27:03,289
What were you
and Private Huxley
661
00:27:03,389 --> 00:27:04,456
arguing about
662
00:27:04,556 --> 00:27:06,158
before he
was murdered?
663
00:27:07,694 --> 00:27:09,395
When the explosives
showed up at my apartment,
664
00:27:09,495 --> 00:27:10,963
I went to Bill for help.
665
00:27:11,063 --> 00:27:13,465
After what happened to my
parents, he said he owed me.
666
00:27:13,565 --> 00:27:15,334
Promised to reunite me
with Asal.
667
00:27:15,434 --> 00:27:20,206
Private Huxley was trying
to find out who was behind this
668
00:27:20,306 --> 00:27:21,774
for you?
669
00:27:21,874 --> 00:27:23,876
He told me to stall making
the bomb to give him time,
670
00:27:23,976 --> 00:27:25,778
but then the deadline
was moved up.
671
00:27:25,878 --> 00:27:28,614
I went to him upset,
begged him to hurry.
672
00:27:28,715 --> 00:27:30,783
Then I heard he was killed.
673
00:27:30,883 --> 00:27:33,252
I know his blood
is on my hands.
674
00:27:33,352 --> 00:27:35,421
But we were trying to save Asal.
675
00:27:35,521 --> 00:27:36,889
Please,
676
00:27:36,989 --> 00:27:38,758
you have to help her
before they discover
677
00:27:38,858 --> 00:27:40,492
the bomb doesn't work.
678
00:27:42,795 --> 00:27:44,864
Mateen didn't kill Huxley.
679
00:27:44,964 --> 00:27:46,933
His alibi checks out. He
was working an extra shift
680
00:27:47,033 --> 00:27:48,735
that night at the grocery store.
681
00:27:48,835 --> 00:27:50,569
He's also telling the truth
about those unknown texts.
682
00:27:50,669 --> 00:27:52,004
We traced them
to a burner phone.
683
00:27:52,104 --> 00:27:54,473
Yeah. A burner
that sent him these.
684
00:27:55,141 --> 00:27:57,343
This has got to be
his fiancée, Asal.
685
00:27:57,443 --> 00:27:58,878
Metadata on
the photos
686
00:27:58,978 --> 00:28:00,646
confirms that they
were taken in Turkey.
687
00:28:00,747 --> 00:28:02,114
So Mateen was forced
to build that bomb,
688
00:28:02,214 --> 00:28:03,249
but we don't know by who.
689
00:28:03,349 --> 00:28:04,917
Or what they want to use it for.
690
00:28:05,017 --> 00:28:07,586
The people behind this have a
long reach to Asal in that camp.
691
00:28:07,686 --> 00:28:09,255
Maybe we can find
the connection?
692
00:28:09,355 --> 00:28:10,990
Except they're good
at covering their tracks.
693
00:28:11,090 --> 00:28:14,226
I couldn't pull a single print
off any of the shell casings
694
00:28:14,326 --> 00:28:15,795
collected at the auto shop.
695
00:28:15,895 --> 00:28:18,264
And no hits yet on the getaway
van they were driving.
696
00:28:19,031 --> 00:28:21,734
Wait, what if one of the men
that attacked you
697
00:28:21,834 --> 00:28:23,369
at the auto shop killed Huxley
698
00:28:23,469 --> 00:28:24,570
'cause they were getting
too close?
699
00:28:24,670 --> 00:28:25,838
If they did,
they had access
700
00:28:25,938 --> 00:28:27,306
to Promises Honored.
701
00:28:27,406 --> 00:28:28,607
They took the knife from there.
702
00:28:28,707 --> 00:28:29,876
So we start pulling names.
703
00:28:29,976 --> 00:28:31,944
Every employee,
volunteer, visitor.
704
00:28:32,044 --> 00:28:33,312
We find out who killed Huxley
705
00:28:33,412 --> 00:28:35,314
and we find the men
who took that bomb.
706
00:28:38,050 --> 00:28:39,585
Damn it!
707
00:28:40,753 --> 00:28:42,454
Nick, everything okay?
708
00:28:42,554 --> 00:28:43,655
I'm running out of suspects.
709
00:28:43,756 --> 00:28:45,357
I just cleared another
710
00:28:45,457 --> 00:28:46,893
Promises Honored volunteer.
711
00:28:46,993 --> 00:28:48,560
You need to take a break.
712
00:28:48,660 --> 00:28:50,429
Why?
I know this hits close to home.
713
00:28:50,529 --> 00:28:52,298
You know, people
come to this country
714
00:28:52,398 --> 00:28:53,365
because they're desperate.
715
00:28:53,465 --> 00:28:54,566
Yeah, makes 'em vulnerable,
716
00:28:54,666 --> 00:28:56,302
which makes 'em
an easy target.
717
00:28:56,402 --> 00:28:57,536
My mom was one of 'em.
718
00:28:57,636 --> 00:28:58,905
Must have pissed you off.
719
00:28:59,005 --> 00:29:00,039
Yeah.
720
00:29:00,139 --> 00:29:02,674
Now I'm pissed off for Mateen.
721
00:29:02,775 --> 00:29:04,043
Just got off the phone with DHS.
722
00:29:04,143 --> 00:29:05,878
It turns out
the permanent refugee status
723
00:29:05,978 --> 00:29:08,747
of Mateen's fiancée
was approved months ago.
724
00:29:08,848 --> 00:29:10,549
Then why hasn't
Asal been transferred
725
00:29:10,649 --> 00:29:12,051
from that Turkish camp?
726
00:29:12,151 --> 00:29:13,652
Because the aid organization
that was supposed to
727
00:29:13,752 --> 00:29:16,622
relocate her here
has been holding things up.
728
00:29:16,722 --> 00:29:18,024
Promises Honored?
729
00:29:18,124 --> 00:29:19,959
Pastor Eddie's office
has yet to approve
730
00:29:20,059 --> 00:29:21,660
Asal's assistance package.
731
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:22,829
Why?
I don't know.
732
00:29:22,929 --> 00:29:24,096
But if our boy Eddie
733
00:29:24,196 --> 00:29:25,397
is somehow mixed up
in this mess,
734
00:29:25,497 --> 00:29:27,099
then we need to find him, quick.
735
00:29:27,199 --> 00:29:28,667
Let's roll.
736
00:29:31,737 --> 00:29:33,539
McGee just pinged
Eddie's cell phone.
737
00:29:33,639 --> 00:29:35,074
He's here.
738
00:29:35,174 --> 00:29:36,242
That's his car.
739
00:29:36,342 --> 00:29:38,644
Looks like he's sitting in it.
740
00:29:46,352 --> 00:29:47,987
NCIS!
741
00:29:48,087 --> 00:29:49,922
Show me your
hands, Eddie!
742
00:30:00,632 --> 00:30:02,134
No weapon.
743
00:30:02,234 --> 00:30:03,836
It's not a suicide.
Another guy
744
00:30:03,936 --> 00:30:05,404
in Mateen's circle
gets murdered.
745
00:30:05,504 --> 00:30:06,605
Can't be a coincidence.
746
00:30:06,705 --> 00:30:07,907
But doesn't get
us any closer
747
00:30:08,007 --> 00:30:09,741
to whoever killed them. No.
748
00:30:10,542 --> 00:30:11,710
But this might.
749
00:30:11,810 --> 00:30:13,345
I wouldn't hold my breath
for prints.
750
00:30:13,445 --> 00:30:15,047
Or maybe Kasie gets lucky.
751
00:30:16,482 --> 00:30:18,417
Guess I should have
held my breath.
752
00:30:18,517 --> 00:30:20,119
You can thank Kasie later.
753
00:30:20,219 --> 00:30:22,121
Partial print that she
pulled from that shell
754
00:30:22,221 --> 00:30:24,523
is a 90% probable
match for
755
00:30:24,623 --> 00:30:25,657
this charmer.
756
00:30:25,757 --> 00:30:27,193
Robert Whitlock, 55.
757
00:30:27,293 --> 00:30:29,996
Head of a Maryland-based
white nationalist militia
758
00:30:30,096 --> 00:30:31,563
known as Last Liberty.
759
00:30:31,663 --> 00:30:33,332
They're flagged as an extremist
760
00:30:33,432 --> 00:30:34,733
organization
by the FBI.
761
00:30:34,833 --> 00:30:36,135
Allegedly connected to multiple
762
00:30:36,235 --> 00:30:38,337
hate crime-related homicides.
763
00:30:38,437 --> 00:30:40,339
And recent intel says
that the militia
764
00:30:40,439 --> 00:30:42,975
is seeking out explosives
to further their cause.
765
00:30:43,075 --> 00:30:44,310
McGEE:
Is it possible
766
00:30:44,410 --> 00:30:46,745
that Whitlock teamed up
with Pastor Eddie
767
00:30:46,845 --> 00:30:48,514
to find someone
to make the bomb?
768
00:30:48,614 --> 00:30:49,916
Maybe that's why
the pastor held up
769
00:30:50,016 --> 00:30:51,483
Asal's transfer.
Mateen makes
770
00:30:51,583 --> 00:30:54,453
the bomb for them and then
Whitlock kills the pastor?
771
00:30:54,553 --> 00:30:55,888
Tying up any loose ends.
772
00:30:55,988 --> 00:30:57,323
His manifesto is filled
with violent threats
773
00:30:57,423 --> 00:31:00,792
to purge America
of foreigners and nonbelievers.
774
00:31:00,893 --> 00:31:02,294
Well, setting off a bomb
made by a foreigner--
775
00:31:02,394 --> 00:31:04,096
that's one way
to start that purge.
776
00:31:04,196 --> 00:31:05,464
Mateen says the bomb's a dud.
777
00:31:05,564 --> 00:31:07,766
Yeah, well,
let's not take any chances.
778
00:31:07,866 --> 00:31:10,169
We need to stop
these guys now.
779
00:31:10,269 --> 00:31:12,238
Gravity! Use gravity
to your advantage!
780
00:31:12,338 --> 00:31:14,540
There you go! There you go!
That is right!
781
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:16,475
Use your elbow!
Use your elbow!
782
00:31:16,575 --> 00:31:18,110
Let's go, let's go, let's go.
On the ground.
783
00:31:18,210 --> 00:31:20,346
That's it.
Up, up, up, up, up!
784
00:31:20,446 --> 00:31:22,081
We are not weak!
785
00:31:27,486 --> 00:31:28,587
Federal agents!
786
00:31:29,455 --> 00:31:32,224
Put your weapons down
and your hands in the air!
787
00:31:32,324 --> 00:31:33,459
Cops, cops, cops!
788
00:31:33,559 --> 00:31:35,027
Pull back! Pull back!
789
00:31:35,127 --> 00:31:36,462
Fence,
790
00:31:36,562 --> 00:31:37,629
fence, fence, fence!
791
00:31:37,729 --> 00:31:38,864
Pull back!
792
00:31:40,866 --> 00:31:42,834
Got eyes on the bomb.
It's in the van.
793
00:31:45,271 --> 00:31:47,206
We can't return fire
with that bomb right there.
794
00:31:47,306 --> 00:31:49,575
You're surrounded, Whitlock!
There's no way out!
795
00:31:49,675 --> 00:31:51,810
We're not going down
without a fight!
796
00:31:51,910 --> 00:31:53,279
No surrender!
797
00:32:21,340 --> 00:32:23,175
Bomb squad's
still clearing the area
798
00:32:23,275 --> 00:32:24,977
to make sure
there's no other explosives.
799
00:32:25,077 --> 00:32:26,178
What about Whitlock and his men?
800
00:32:26,278 --> 00:32:27,546
Explosion took 'em all out.
801
00:32:27,646 --> 00:32:28,914
Which doesn't make any sense,
given that
802
00:32:29,015 --> 00:32:30,649
Mateen said
the bomb wasn't functional.
803
00:32:30,749 --> 00:32:32,851
We need Kasie to find out
why that bomb exploded.
804
00:32:32,951 --> 00:32:35,054
I think I may know
someone who can help.
805
00:32:37,923 --> 00:32:41,193
We're offering you the chance
to redeem yourself, Mateen.
806
00:32:41,293 --> 00:32:42,995
Private Huxley
deserves justice.
807
00:32:43,095 --> 00:32:44,930
I will do anything
to make this right.
808
00:32:45,031 --> 00:32:45,897
Kasie,
809
00:32:45,998 --> 00:32:47,033
this is
810
00:32:47,133 --> 00:32:48,500
Mateen Jamaah. Ah.
811
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:51,237
And this is your baby
after it went boom.
812
00:32:51,337 --> 00:32:52,471
That's impossible.
813
00:32:52,571 --> 00:32:53,839
Well, half a dozen
814
00:32:53,939 --> 00:32:55,841
dead white nationalists
would disagree.
815
00:32:55,941 --> 00:32:58,044
I can spend hours sorting
through this myself,
816
00:32:58,144 --> 00:33:02,648
or you can quickly tell me
why your fail-safe failed.
817
00:33:07,519 --> 00:33:08,620
Here it is.
818
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:10,889
The remote detonator receiver.
819
00:33:13,125 --> 00:33:14,493
It's been repaired.
820
00:33:14,593 --> 00:33:16,662
I cut these wires,
821
00:33:16,762 --> 00:33:19,198
but they've been reconnected
to the circuit board.
822
00:33:19,298 --> 00:33:20,732
The militia must
have figured out
823
00:33:20,832 --> 00:33:23,069
the bomb was deactivated
and fixed it.
824
00:33:23,169 --> 00:33:24,470
Okay, and then what--
825
00:33:24,570 --> 00:33:26,172
they just accidentally
blew themselves up?
826
00:33:26,272 --> 00:33:27,439
Setting off
this bomb
827
00:33:27,539 --> 00:33:29,308
would still require
a remote trigger.
828
00:33:29,408 --> 00:33:32,778
And no trigger was taken
into evidence from that camp.
829
00:33:32,878 --> 00:33:35,847
Okay, so if the bomb
wasn't set off by the militia,
830
00:33:35,947 --> 00:33:36,982
then who did?
831
00:33:37,716 --> 00:33:39,251
Who else knew
832
00:33:39,351 --> 00:33:40,786
about the existence
of that bomb?
833
00:33:40,886 --> 00:33:42,988
We recovered Whitlock's burner
phone from the campsite.
834
00:33:43,089 --> 00:33:45,991
We pulled the SIM card and saw
that he traded plenty of calls
835
00:33:46,092 --> 00:33:48,360
with the Promises
Honored Community Center.
Yeah, with his partner in crime,
836
00:33:48,460 --> 00:33:49,428
Pastor Eddie.
837
00:33:49,528 --> 00:33:50,429
Well, that's what we thought.
838
00:33:50,529 --> 00:33:51,763
But the phone calls began
839
00:33:51,863 --> 00:33:53,532
when Eddie was on an
overseas mission trip.
840
00:33:53,632 --> 00:33:54,866
Well, if Whitlock
wasn't talking to Eddie,
841
00:33:54,966 --> 00:33:56,268
then Eddie wasn't his partner.
842
00:33:56,368 --> 00:33:57,536
Eddie was an innocent scapegoat.
843
00:33:57,636 --> 00:33:59,271
Once we were on
the real partner's trail,
844
00:33:59,371 --> 00:34:00,739
they got spooked.
845
00:34:00,839 --> 00:34:02,874
Killed Eddie with a bullet
that pointed us to Whitlock.
846
00:34:02,974 --> 00:34:04,643
Whitlock and his men were
blown to high hell to make
847
00:34:04,743 --> 00:34:05,977
all of this go away.
848
00:34:06,078 --> 00:34:07,513
Scorched earth.
Eliminate everyone
849
00:34:07,613 --> 00:34:09,448
so there's nobody
left to investigate.
850
00:34:09,548 --> 00:34:10,816
The real partner thought
we would believe
851
00:34:10,916 --> 00:34:12,251
the bomb exploding
was just an accident.
852
00:34:12,351 --> 00:34:13,985
And thanks to Mateen,
now we know it wasn't.
853
00:34:14,086 --> 00:34:17,556
So who was Whitlock talking to
at Promises Honored?
854
00:34:25,431 --> 00:34:27,166
NCIS.
855
00:34:27,266 --> 00:34:30,302
It is so kind of you to join us
for the remembrance celebration
856
00:34:30,402 --> 00:34:31,503
for Pastor Eddie and Bill.
857
00:34:31,603 --> 00:34:32,804
We can't stay long, Ms. Hipple.
858
00:34:32,904 --> 00:34:34,540
Yeah, and neither can you.
859
00:34:36,775 --> 00:34:38,744
I'm sorry, I don't understand.
860
00:34:38,844 --> 00:34:40,546
Once we started
looking for connections
861
00:34:40,646 --> 00:34:42,748
between Promises Honored
and the Last Liberty,
862
00:34:42,848 --> 00:34:44,516
didn't take long
for us to discover
863
00:34:44,616 --> 00:34:46,585
that you were
Robert Whitlock's girlfriend.
864
00:34:47,419 --> 00:34:48,687
Whitlock sent you
to this community
865
00:34:48,787 --> 00:34:49,921
to find a fall guy.
866
00:34:50,021 --> 00:34:51,657
And once you found
one in Mateen,
867
00:34:51,757 --> 00:34:53,559
you forced him
to build that bomb.
868
00:34:54,593 --> 00:34:57,429
I don't know
what you're talking about.
Case worker
869
00:34:57,529 --> 00:35:00,065
at the Turkish camp where
Mateen's fiancée is being held
870
00:35:00,166 --> 00:35:02,067
confessed to being
bribed by you to hold up
871
00:35:02,168 --> 00:35:04,470
her transfer.
And when
Private Huxley
872
00:35:04,570 --> 00:35:06,838
got onto your plan,
you murdered him.
873
00:35:09,508 --> 00:35:12,844
It was smart of you to point us
toward Mateen as his killer.
874
00:35:14,713 --> 00:35:16,982
Too bad...
875
00:35:17,082 --> 00:35:18,650
we're smarter.
876
00:35:21,620 --> 00:35:24,323
It's you...
877
00:35:24,423 --> 00:35:25,857
and everyone here
878
00:35:25,957 --> 00:35:28,727
that's destroying
this once-great nation.
879
00:35:29,761 --> 00:35:33,799
No, it's me and everyone here--
880
00:35:33,899 --> 00:35:36,668
we help make it great.
881
00:35:47,979 --> 00:35:50,115
Here's the deal, Austin.
882
00:35:50,216 --> 00:35:53,585
You're a boy,
soon to become a young man,
883
00:35:53,685 --> 00:35:56,655
and with that comes
certain responsibilities,
884
00:35:56,755 --> 00:35:58,424
especially regarding
885
00:35:58,524 --> 00:36:01,693
soon-to-become young women.
886
00:36:03,329 --> 00:36:05,497
Ooh.
887
00:36:05,597 --> 00:36:08,099
Okay.
888
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:09,435
We're done.
889
00:36:09,535 --> 00:36:11,102
That's enough.
890
00:36:12,471 --> 00:36:13,739
How do you feel?
891
00:36:13,839 --> 00:36:15,774
Did you get it all out?
Did you-did you just...
892
00:36:15,874 --> 00:36:17,376
Yeah, well, obviously,
I'm not gonna do that
893
00:36:17,476 --> 00:36:18,710
with a scalpel in my hand.
894
00:36:18,810 --> 00:36:20,011
Right.
But, yeah,
895
00:36:20,111 --> 00:36:21,513
I feel pretty good about it,
you know?
896
00:36:21,613 --> 00:36:22,848
Good. Good.
Yeah. I think I'm gonna
897
00:36:22,948 --> 00:36:24,049
call Austin's parents
898
00:36:24,149 --> 00:36:26,952
Nope. Okay, no.
and set up a tour.
899
00:36:31,089 --> 00:36:34,125
So, listen, uh...
You're right.
900
00:36:35,126 --> 00:36:38,230
I will never be
the father of a daughter.
901
00:36:39,898 --> 00:36:42,834
So you're not gonna
hear it from me.
902
00:36:42,934 --> 00:36:44,936
But I'm hoping you will hear it
903
00:36:45,036 --> 00:36:47,606
from someone who is a father.
904
00:36:51,943 --> 00:36:54,713
Dr. Palmer,
let's have a little chat.
905
00:37:01,953 --> 00:37:05,557
Austin and his family will not
906
00:37:05,657 --> 00:37:08,827
be touring NCIS anytime soon.
907
00:37:08,927 --> 00:37:11,430
Director Vance...
I talk,
908
00:37:11,530 --> 00:37:12,864
you listen.
909
00:37:14,433 --> 00:37:18,304
From the moment you first cradle
your daughter in your arms,
910
00:37:18,404 --> 00:37:20,639
it is your lifelong job
to protect her.
911
00:37:20,739 --> 00:37:22,874
Exactly. And that is why I...
912
00:37:27,546 --> 00:37:29,681
Part of that protection
913
00:37:29,781 --> 00:37:33,051
is accepting the natural order
of things.
914
00:37:33,151 --> 00:37:34,586
They grow up.
915
00:37:34,686 --> 00:37:36,722
You need to trust
916
00:37:36,822 --> 00:37:39,491
that you have given her
all the tools she needs
917
00:37:39,591 --> 00:37:42,628
to start protecting herself.
918
00:37:45,564 --> 00:37:46,965
Yeah.
919
00:37:48,567 --> 00:37:50,569
It's just...
920
00:37:50,669 --> 00:37:52,804
it is scary
921
00:37:52,904 --> 00:37:56,875
trusting that I have actually
done my job as a parent.
922
00:37:58,477 --> 00:38:00,712
Director, when it comes
to Victoria...
923
00:38:00,812 --> 00:38:02,080
Yeah.
924
00:38:03,048 --> 00:38:04,350
It's understandable.
Life has
925
00:38:04,450 --> 00:38:07,118
thrown a whole lot at you
these last few years.
926
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:10,722
But you've been through
a lot, too.
927
00:38:10,822 --> 00:38:12,190
I can't imagine
928
00:38:12,290 --> 00:38:14,660
you doing anything
this foolish with Kayla.
929
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:17,363
Oh, every father is tempted.
930
00:38:18,964 --> 00:38:21,933
When, uh, Kayla's prom date
came to pick her up,
931
00:38:22,033 --> 00:38:24,936
I debated having him
meet me in the kitchen
932
00:38:25,036 --> 00:38:27,606
where I was gonna be
cleaning my service pistol.
933
00:38:27,706 --> 00:38:29,641
Well...
934
00:38:29,741 --> 00:38:32,544
Puts my scalpel
to shame.
935
00:38:32,644 --> 00:38:35,481
And you know what? All I would
have done was embarrass myself.
936
00:38:35,581 --> 00:38:36,982
And I would have
embarrassed Kayla
937
00:38:37,082 --> 00:38:39,150
on the night that was
supposed to be about her.
938
00:38:39,250 --> 00:38:41,387
Hmm.
939
00:38:42,721 --> 00:38:45,891
We have to let them live
their own lives, Doc.
940
00:38:55,534 --> 00:38:57,803
We need to have
the kitchen prepped by 12:00
941
00:38:57,903 --> 00:39:00,439
for the children's
cooking class.
Of course.
942
00:39:00,539 --> 00:39:01,773
We heard that
943
00:39:01,873 --> 00:39:04,142
this place found a new director. Yes,
944
00:39:04,242 --> 00:39:06,144
I was surprised when
the Promises Honored board
945
00:39:06,244 --> 00:39:08,714
asked me to fill
such an important position.
946
00:39:08,814 --> 00:39:11,116
We're not. It's clear
everybody here looks up to you.
947
00:39:11,216 --> 00:39:12,951
You need volunteers?
You can put us to work.
948
00:39:13,051 --> 00:39:14,319
We appreciate that.
949
00:39:14,420 --> 00:39:16,622
My, uh, kids baked
some cookies to share.
950
00:39:16,722 --> 00:39:18,690
70% dark chocolate chip?
951
00:39:18,790 --> 00:39:20,125
Well, nothing like
what Private Huxley
952
00:39:20,225 --> 00:39:22,227
would have whipped up,
I'm sure, but I, uh,
953
00:39:22,327 --> 00:39:25,030
I have snuck a few and I can
confirm they are very tasty.
954
00:39:25,130 --> 00:39:26,898
I'll be happy to pass them out.
955
00:39:26,998 --> 00:39:29,535
I do have plenty
of probation hours to work off.
956
00:39:29,635 --> 00:39:30,769
Thank you for arranging things
957
00:39:30,869 --> 00:39:32,203
so I could serve them
with my community.
958
00:39:32,303 --> 00:39:34,706
We're also here to share
some news about Asal.
959
00:39:34,806 --> 00:39:36,808
She boarded a plane
about an hour ago.
960
00:39:36,908 --> 00:39:38,343
She should be here with you
by the morning.
961
00:39:43,849 --> 00:39:45,383
Thank you.
962
00:39:49,755 --> 00:39:52,223
Come. Come with me
to visit my friends.
963
00:39:58,163 --> 00:40:00,198
Is your head healing,
Agent Torres?
964
00:40:00,298 --> 00:40:02,233
It's Nick.
965
00:40:02,333 --> 00:40:06,404
And, um, it's healing
just fine, because of you.
966
00:40:09,407 --> 00:40:11,076
I'm sorry.
967
00:40:12,778 --> 00:40:15,246
For everything
you've all suffered.
968
00:40:16,247 --> 00:40:17,483
Thank you.
969
00:40:17,583 --> 00:40:18,817
Especially because
you know what it's like
970
00:40:18,917 --> 00:40:20,686
to leave everything behind.
971
00:40:20,786 --> 00:40:22,087
Hardly. Um...
972
00:40:22,187 --> 00:40:24,556
My journey to get here was...
973
00:40:26,257 --> 00:40:29,260
It was different.
But you still experienced loss.
974
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:31,697
You felt pain
for those left behind.
975
00:40:31,797 --> 00:40:35,834
It helps to remind myself
that those who can't be with us,
976
00:40:35,934 --> 00:40:39,104
they want us to move forward.
977
00:40:39,204 --> 00:40:41,940
Building new lives
is how we honor the sacrifice
978
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:44,309
of everyone who got us here.
979
00:40:47,646 --> 00:40:51,049
Well, I've had to, uh,
build many new lives before.
980
00:40:51,149 --> 00:40:53,451
And how is this one going?
981
00:40:55,654 --> 00:40:57,255
Best one yet.
982
00:40:58,524 --> 00:41:01,259
Then cherish those
who helped you build it.
983
00:41:04,462 --> 00:41:07,432
You are always
welcome in this home...
984
00:41:10,235 --> 00:41:12,270
...Nick.
