[CROWD SHOUTING, CLAMORING]
LUCY: Jesse, we're coming in now.
You couldn't get the car closer?
Valet was kind of busy today.
Clear a path. Coming through.
[GRUNTS]
LUCY: Hey, Vicktor.
You can't manhandle
the peaceful protestors.
I don't speak Russian, but I
know y'all are talking about me.
Luce, you got eyes on any threats?
LUCY: Only about two dozen of 'em.
Not to mention the two beside me.
[SHOUTING, CLAMORING CONTINUE]
LUCY: We weren't supposed
to have a welcoming party.
Yeah, well, apparently, our VIP
- pulls a crowd.
- Murderer!
Back off!
- Jesse, we're almost through.
- All right. I'm on your left.
Can we please go inside?
LUCY: Yeah.
Luce,
- on your three backpack.
- [BEEPING]
- Get down!
- [BANG]
[SCREAMING, CLAMORING]
♪
Hey.
How you doing, Lucy?
Spent the night
writing reports and getting
paint out of my hair,
so, you know, peachy.
Well, the State Department
sends their thanks
for your steadfast protection
of their VIP.
That mean they're covering
her dry cleaning bill?
[SHORT CHUCKLE]
You are welcome to submit a claim.
All right, what do we know
so far about the incident?
13 nations here for Pacific Summit
urging de-escalation
of global armaments.
And people really aren't happy that
Tatyana Sokolov whose family
owns the world's largest
private military firm
is participating.
Lucy included.
Considering her father
was fighting proxy wars
for the Russians until, like, yesterday.
All right, may be true, but
the daughter is not the father.
And those ties ended
when the Russians killed him.
Tatyana and her brother took
over the family business
and they're still making billions off
of world suffering, but
it's great she's into peace.
Bottom line, a lot of people
have beef with our VIP.
Guess we're lucky that it was
only Pantone Red 32 in that bomb.
Okay. Well, any leads on who planted it?
Pulled media footage and CCTV.
But no, nothing yet.
How about the obvious ones?
Russians don't tend
to fire off warning shots.
Poison's more their M.O.
Or plane accidents or fatal falls.
All right, what else
is on Tatyana's itinerary?
She has several private meetings
here and on Kaua'i.
Hey, Jesse, go get with Ernie.
See what else he's learned
about the attack.
LUCY: All right.
[SIGHS] I'm gonna head home.
Watch some bad TV with Kate.
What?
The State Department had one
more message to pass along.
Tatyana has specifically
requested you to be her point agent.
[LAUGHS]
Come on, she barely even
looked at me yesterday.
Something about saving her life?
It was a paint bomb.
- I basically saved her outfit.
- [PHONE VIBRATES]
Well, either way,
I'm grateful for your service.
Shift starts in an hour.
SCIF mode.
Am I in trouble?
Maybe I just want to know
where the best pancakes
are on the island.
Well, that's not a state secret.
NCIS ELITE is.
Mm, your cool new action team.
I can neither confirm nor deny
how cool they are.
But they exist.
A team with a special set
of skills taking on
off-the-books missions
that nobody's supposed
to know about. Hmm.
It's a pilot program.
And you want me to join.
Actually, no.
Really?
You'd never accept.
Well.
Alexi Volkoff.
The Russian mob tried to kidnap
him from a con air flight,
but we got him back.
Sent him stateside.
That's mostly accurate.
He never left the island.
We've been working him for intel.
Has labs around the world filled
with all kinds of chemicals.
Bioweapons.
- National security threat.
- And you're sweeping them up
before anyone else can get to them.
It's been months.
He keeps sending us places,
we keep coming up empty.
- Well, he's playing you.
- Stalling.
Or keeping his advantage.
Just having fun.
You're asking for an assist.
Put me in, coach.
I'll be in touch.
I can't say when.
Okay.
Over Easy.
Best pancakes on the island.
You're all kinds of helpful,
Jane Tennant.
- Don't you forget it.
- [CHUCKLES]
[DOOR CLOSES]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
LUCY: I get paint-bombed
and panicked crowd,
and you get café au lait
and a croissant.
Mm-hmm.
There-there was a harrowing moment
where it looked like
they were out of oat milk.
Oh, any other highlights?
Ah, no, no.
Snug as a bug all night.
So, I'm gonna grab me
another latte for the road.
WOMAN: I was always told
Marines didn't drink fancy coffee.
And I was told war correspondents
were allergic to five-star hotels.
- You were misled, friend.
- Yeah, so were you.
You still owe me
a bottle of Johnnie Blue.
I paid that debt four years ago.
It's not my fault
the bullet shattered the bottle.
Right.
[CLEARING THROAT]
Hi. I'm guessing y'all know each other.
Um, yeah.
Um, I'm sorry, this is
- I'm Lucy.
- Lucy.
Uh, I'm Kai's work friend,
and you're his
- War friend.
- Aw.
Camille Davies.
We met in Afghanistan.
And by "met," she means
she "fell into my bunker."
I leapt into your bunker for cover.
We were being ambushed.
Oh. That's adorable.
Uh, Camille writes
for the Toronto Examiner.
- Oh, you're Canadian?
- Yeah, but don't be scared.
We're just like Americans, only
we have a different word
for garbage disposals.
"Garburator" is not a word.
[LAUGHS]: It's not a word.
- What?
- Oh. You're the Canadian?
We were convinced that you weren't real.
[SNAPS FINGERS] She's real.
I-I don't understand.
Don't worry, Lucy has
that effect on people.
Hey.
[PHONE VIBRATES]
Of course, now Her Majesty
is ready. Camille,
it was so great to meet you.
- Kai, I have questions.
- Yeah?
Okay.
- "Her Majesty"?
- Yeah.
We're uh, working a detail.
- Can't say more.
- Meaning you can't say
it's Tatyana Sokolov staying
in this hotel under an alias.
- So you're here for work?
- No.
- Strictly vacation.
- Oh, yeah?
Were you gonna tell me
that you were coming?
You know it's bad luck to plan.
Yeah.
But I'm here now, so
Yeah. For how long?
Leave on the red-eye tomorrow.
It's not a lot of time.
Make the most of it.
Come find me later by the water.
We're surrounded by water.
Took you long enough.
I have a meeting in 30 minutes.
Oh, good morning to you, too.
You seem fine
for being blown up yesterday.
Not my first time.
Though it was the most colorful attempt.
My brother, Dmitry,
was shot once.
Nearly severed an artery.
He wouldn't even blink at a paint bomb.
Then how come he's not here?
Peace really isn't his thing.
But it's yours?
Just sort of a complete 180
from your family's whole
vibe.
Never too late to make a change.
You could see how people might be
getting mixed messages, though, right?
What, with all the war-making.
You don't care for my family.
And I think it's ironic.
Considering how
alike our families are.
I'm sorry.
Our families are alike?
Powerful, wealthy.
Oil and war.
Two sides of the same coin.
You did a background check on me?
On all of you.
And I meant the comparison
as a compliment.
That's somehow worse.
I don't have anything to do
with my family's business.
Your brother
Michael is taking over?
Strange that your oldest brother isn't.
Personal problems?
You don't like talking
about your family, do you?
Being associated with their business.
Neither do I.
Don't make assumptions.
Vicktor?
Let's go. Wow.
Rewind there.
Pause.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Can you blow that up?
What does that body language say to you?
It's clear. They've been intimate.
Apparently Kai's made-up
on-and-off girlfriend isn't so made-up.
Camille Davies.
International correspondent for
various papers over the years.
Loves beaches, countries in
the throes of civil war, and
a crisp white wine.
He kept her from us this whole time?
Like he thinks we're intrusive.
[SCOFFS]
Well, you did run
a full background check on her.
[COMPUTER BLIPS]
Well, it's 'cause
we've been waiting on this.
Right. List of anyone who has
ever publicly opposed,
protested or attacked
the Sokolov family.
Is that Chad? As, as in the nation?
Well, there's also a Chad Nix
in Iowa who loathes Tatyana.
Rival private military
companies, rebels,
- college protest groups
- Stop.
Yeah, this one here.
I saw her at the protest yesterday.
Nino Eliava.
Firebrand out of Georgia.
The
Country, not the state.
Says that she's the leader
of something called
the "Dawn Crusaders."
Opposition group in Eastern Europe.
Outlawed in Georgia for acts
of aggression and terror.
- Like paint bombs?
- Like bomb-bombs.
At least according
to the Georgian government.
Okay, we have any idea where she is now?
As good as Nino is at opposing,
she's not so great
at covering her tracks.
Her latest location
is somewhere around
Bishop and Queen.
That's where Lucy is with
Tatyana for a private meeting.
Jesse, we're on the move.
JESSE [OVER PHONE]:
I just arrived. I'll meet you.
Those were the most influential
players in global aid.
I won't get them all in a room again.
Active threat trumps
influential players.
I'm not the person you think I am.
I think you're the person
that I'm gonna get in the car
and back to safety.
At the courtyard.
JESSE: I got you.
Want to know why I requested you?
You got strange timing.
Feels like I'm running out of time.
Hey, I need your attention.
I got eyes on the threat.
Get behind me.
Tatyana Sokolov.
I hold you accountable.
Ma'am, I need you stay where you are.
Federal Agent. Stop.
She's got something in her hand.
I got her. Get Tatyana out now.
Come on.
- You need to pay attention to me.
- Seriously?
I told you we're alike.
Okay, just stop saying that.
You want nothing to do with your family.
- Neither do I.
- Let's just go, okay?
Lucy, listen to what I'm saying
I want to defect.
Once you head down the road to defect,
there's no turning back.
So I'm wondering why you're doing it.
And of all the people in the
world to trust, it's Jane Tennant.
Don't take my apprehension personally.
I have many enemies,
few friends and limited trust.
Who else knows?
[CHUCKLES]
I-I can't be the first person you told.
I would not be here
if I shared this with anyone.
Even my family.
News like this will send shock waves.
And now we're at the center of it.
Does that mean you'll help me?
TENNANT: It's not our choice.
I sent it up the flagpole.
State's discussing process.
Then this was a mistake.
Then give us something
you do have. A carrot.
From your family's business with Russia.
When arrangements are in place.
Not how this works.
TATYANA: It's exactly how this works.
My father taught me many things.
One is to ration your bullets
you only have so many.
Well, in that case, you should
get back to your itinerary.
I'll let you know when State responds.
Wait, are-are we staying
with the schedule?
After two attacks?
That's not ideal,
but right now we just need
to make sure that
Ms. Sokolov stays in Hawai'i
until this is sorted out.
What if there's another attack?
The woman you have in custody
has been coming at us for years
She is an annoyance,
but no longer an issue.
For now, at least.
♪
Came a long way from Georgia.
Yeah, most tourists,
they go to the beaches.
But you end up at a political protest.
And a private meeting
you weren't supposed
- to know about.
- You want to explain why?
I have been following Tatyana
in order to protest her.
KAI: By what?
By planting a paint bomb in a backpack?
And threatening her with this?
NINO: The blood of my people.
Spilled by Sokolov soldiers.
It's cow's blood.
From a butcher, according to our lab.
Transporting human blood is illegal.
I don't know how it works in Georgia,
but assaulting a public figure
here for a peace conference
is also illegal.
You have no proof against me.
Actually, we have the remnants
of the paint bomb.
And I witnessed you attacking Tatyana.
You witnessed me confront her
using my right to free speech.
And if you could prove
I planted any bombs,
we'd be having a different discussion.
Why do you hate her so much?
Sokolovs kill indiscriminately.
Maybe Tatyana's different.
Because she came to a conference?
Peace isn't profitable.
Whatever Tatyana Sokolov is doing here
will only lead to more destruction.
And you're here to stop her.
To expose her,
which is a form of protest.
And absolutely legal.
You know American law now?
No. But my lawyers do.
Reich and Willmont.
Shall I call or you?
KAI: So
Nino's convinced the Sokolovs have
an ulterior motive
for being on the island.
Beyond disarmament.
Well, a strategic agreement
with the U.S. could reshape
the geopolitical landscape
in Eastern Europe.
Yeah, well, it makes sense
why the Russians
might want to stop that from happening.
But Nino's group should welcome it.
No, I think that we're
missing something.
But Tatyana's withholding,
and State's staying quiet.
I might know someone who can help.
You mean Camille Davies,
the war correspondent
from the Toronto Examiner?
You How do you-you?
I know everything, Kai.
Huh.
Sam.
- Is it game day?
- SAM: Yep.
I got one question. Hood? Or Blindfold?
That was a long ride.
You can take off your blindfold.
Suggests that we went north.
Anytime, Jane.
Half of the ride was
on unpaved roads, so
- You don't have to guess.
- I'm just saying it's gonna take
more than a blindfold to surprise me
- Zuckerberg's Bunker?
- Delta House.
Most secure facility on the island.
NCIS: ELITE has a budget, I guess.
This only belongs to Defense.
We're just borrowing it.
- He looks cozy.
- He's taken to his new surroundings
But he's stalling.
Let's see if we can change that.
[CLEARS THROAT]
- Really?
- Really.
[DOOR CHIRPS]
Stop.
Sam told me about your "preconditions."
Yet he refuses to get hand sanitizers
with more than 60% alcohol.
Still.
Nothing can beat soap and water.
Not norovirus. Cryptosporidium.
Clostridioides difficile
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
But you're not here
to listen to my grievances.
Oh, you have
an understandably cautious tendency.
Hmm.
A less generous person
would call this hypochondria.
Hypochondria suggests unwarranted fear.
But you know what can paralyze,
kill, disfigure,
at a molecular level.
Ignorance is bliss.
Not to mention that
you have personally weaponized
many of those threats.
Hm.
We need the locations of your labs.
I've shared this information
with your colleagues.
The real locations.
Not empty storage facilities.
Perhaps somebody beat you to the punch.
Perhaps you're stalling.
Which would be bad form, considering
my colleague and I saved your life.
Oh, this has been delightful
existence ever since.
Only one reason
to keep that information.
Strakhovaniye.
Hmm. Insurance.
- You speak Russian.
- You think somehow your
gangster friends
will bust you out again.
This is a aggrandizing notion?
Consistent,
for someone worldwide known
as the Chemist.
[CHUCKLES]
It's not even accurate, this moniker.
But it's flattering nevertheless.
While it lasts.
Nobody's work comes even close.
It doesn't matter.
See, you think the worst thing
that you could do
would be to cooperate with us.
When, in fact, the worst thing would be
someone else finding your work
and using it as their own.
- This is not a worry.
- And then they become
the Chemist.
And you are just a guy
in a windowless room.
Hmm.
So
it is legacy that you're offering me?
And better hand sanitizer.
WHISTLER: Kaua'i is fun.
The Napali coast. Hanalei Bay.
We're gonna watch helos demonstrate
low-altitude maneuvers.
Wow. That is s That's so cool.
Kate, I love you,
and you're trying so hard
to cheer me up, but I'm okay.
[SIGHS] Only you're not.
Something about
Tatyana is getting to you.
'Cause she comes from literally
the worst family I've ever met.
- And?
- That's not enough?
W She's an assignment. [SCOFFS]
You don't have to be friends with her.
I know, it's just,
she thinks we're somehow alike.
Uh, well, that's ridiculous.
- Right?
- You aren't Russian,
you don't own part of a private
- military company.
- No. That is what I said.
I mean, you do both
come from powerful families
and have chosen your own separate paths.
Kate, whose side are you on?
Yours. A-Always yours.
Just, I think it's creepy.
She did all this research into my past,
even knows things about my brothers.
That's hard, since you don't go deep
when it comes to your family.
Even with me.
I go deep.
Very deep.
I just There's nothing
to go deep about,
and nothing's wrong, everything's fine.
We're just like most families.
Maybe, in a way,
Tatyana's looking for a guide
through her own family dilemma,
and you can help her.
Then why does it feel like
she's hiding something from me?
[ELEVATOR DINGS]
You're the brilliant investigator.
Go investigate.
Wow.
It's a little early, no?
I'm still on Damascus time.
Yeah, but you're not here on vacation.
Well, duh, Kai. When have
I ever taken a vacation?
Never.
But you also have no interest in
covering, uh, peace conferences.
You do bullets, not PowerPoints.
Well, this trip had an added perk.
Except you're on the clock, too.
No, I-I'm just
I'm just here to watch you
enjoy that mai tai.
You know, we have such
limited time, I just
- Please.
- What?
I know what you're trying to do.
It's our first date all over again.
[LAUGHS]
No, no, I'm not sure
the TGI Friday's in Kandahar
- can be considered a date.
- Um, it was totally a date,
and I was totally
playing you for information.
Yeah.
Well, then you owe me one, don't you?
Tatyana Sokolov.
Why do you think I know
about Tatyana Sokolov?
Because I'm not a fool.
And because you get intel others can't.
She's not here for the conference.
She's here to broker
the biggest arms deal in
the last 20 years for her family.
Does the State Department know?
They set it up, Kai.
It's a big deal for everyone.
It'll legitimize the Sokolov
relationship with the U.S.,
and even higher stakes
for the people who
can't afford to let the deal go through.
In other words,
something bad is brewing.
An arms deal?
You're here at
a peace conference to buy guns?
Actually, missiles and drones.
Big secret to keep from us.
It's not my fault the State
Department keeps you in the dark.
For someone who wants out of the game,
you sure have no problem playing it.
I have no choice.
I don't know who you are.
I'm someone who is
completely at your mercy.
[WHISPERS]: If anyone in my
family knows I want to defect,
they will kill me.
Please, help me.
Either you're playing me
or you're actually afraid.
[REGULAR VOLUME]: Regardless,
we need to turn around
and go back before any of us get
[HIGH-PITCHED TONE RINGING][COUGHS]
[VICKTOR GROANING SOFTLY]
♪
- [GUNSHOTS]
- Get out!
I'll cover. You guys go.
- Three labs, three locations.
- Think your team
will find what they need.
Nothing more vulnerable
than an arrogant man's ego.
Like a moth to the flame.
Doesn't even realize he's a moth.
[LINE RINGING] Jesse, what's up?
JESSE: Wondering where you are, boss.
Lucy's Humvee was attacked
- in Waimea Canyon.
- TENNANT: Any contact?
No, she hasn't checked in
and no signal on her phone.
We're scrambling REACT as we speak.
Fine. We can get there faster.
We're near Dillingham.
So much for the blindfold.
Jesse, you find out who's behind this.
We'll find Lucy.
You got it, boss. Bring her back.
- Listen
- We're wheels up in five.
Coast Guard scrambled their ready helo
to take Tennant and Sam over.
They'll beat emergency services
and REACT.
Okay. Any updates?
Still can't reach Lucy.
Well, that part of Kaua'i is the
Bermuda Triangle of coverage.
Phones enter, signals never leave.
I was able to access satellite imagery.
I see the driver but no other bodies.
Maybe Tatyana and Lucy slipped out,
headed into the jungle.
Can you get eyes on the attackers?
This is real time. Everybody
still alive is long gone.
KAI: Look, this looks
like a rocket attack.
It's highly organized and planned.
Yeah, someone put a lot
of thought into this
and had Tatyana's schedule.
- Someone like Nino.
- [DOOR OPENS]
Any news on Lucy?
ALL: Good, you got my text.
So, we think Lucy made it out.
You think?
Well, there's no movement
at the ambush site.
And that's a good thing?
The driver's dead. Whoever's
doing this isn't leaving survivors.
Ernie, maybe just stop talking.
Kate, they're in the jungle.
- But so are her attackers.
- I-I may have a way
of narrowing her location.
Waimea is the Grand
Canyon of the Pacific,
but the likeliest path
from the ambush site
would put her in this valley.
- High ground. That's where she'd go.
- Increased elevation
means increased visibility
and surveillance,
maybe a chance for a signal.
All right, I'll let
Tennant and Sam know.
Kai, find Nino, wherever she is.
I'm coming with.
- You sure?
- Yeah.
TATYANA: So, what's the plan here?
Get to the top,
hope help arrives
before the bad guys do.
Hope is not much of a strategy.
Yeah, I'd settle for luck.
Well, that dog won't hunt.
This is type of luck.
Why don't you just go back and
make sure we're not being followed?
- I'll take a look at this wound.
- I'm unarmed.
Well, I'm not asking you to engage,
and I am not handing you my weapon.
[SHARP INHALE]
[GROANING]
You walked the whole way
with this in your leg?
You're strong.
Unfortunately, that's gonna have
to stay in or you're gonna bleed out.
Wouldn't that make your day?
Hey
You trust your team to make it?
With my life.
[JACKET RIPPING]
HANNA: AK-47 magazines.
TENNANT: A lot of 'em.
Looks like five, maybe six suspects.
Judging from their tracks,
these guys are organized.
They know small unit tactics.
They're all heading in after Lucy.
Let's go find our people.
Wait
Thought you were going after Nino.
- Someone beat us to it.
- Yeah, HPD found her.
She took a plunge
out of a ten-story window.
Assuming it wasn't an accident.
Highly unlikely.
[SIGHS] That's too bad.
'Cause I figured out Nino got
access to Tatyana's itinerary
from an anonymous email.
It's a setup.
AK-47s, rockets
Whoever's behind this
really wanted us to think
it was Nino and her group.
- She's a patsy.
- Yeah.
Okay, so who set her up?
Occam's razor.
Most likely answer is the simplest one.
Someone who had access to
the itinerary in the first place.
Let me ask you something.
How long have you known Vicktor?
He's been with my family for years.
So you trust him?
He was my father's man,
now usually my brother's, but
he's loyal, yes.
You think he's involved?
Yeah, that's what I'm gonna sort out.
- [GRUNTS]
- Oh!
[GRUNTING]
[SHOTS ECHOING]
That was a single weapon.
No return fire.
Could mean anything.
Not trying to guess what it means.
It's proof we're on the right track.
Yeah, but we're not
the only ones who heard it.
What do we do now?
We go the other way.
And fast.
- Can you move?
- I'll try.
You know him?
It's Vicktor.
Tatyana's personal bodyguard.
Turned on the person he
was supposed to protect.
Someone paid him off.
Doesn't matter to me till we find Lucy.
Vicktor was killed
with a handgun. Close range.
But there was a fight.
Got a lot of boot prints
headed up this hill.
Good.
'Cause I'm pretty sure
Lucy and Tatyana went this way.
You a tracker now, Jane Tennant?
No. But I know a sign when I see one.
Sunshine Organic.
It's Lucy's dry cleaners.
She left it for me.
Wow. That's smart.
But she's not the only one.
What do you mean?
See those prints over there?
One of the bad guys swung back around.
He's on their tail.
[TATYANA PANTING]
I need to stop.
We really can't.
I'm trying, but
[MOANS]
- No, no, don't.
- Yeah, okay,
you're right, you're right.
Let's take five.
Okay.
Do you have any more
ammunition than that?
To be honest?
No.
I was foolish to think
I could ever escape this life.
- We're not finished here.
- I am.
You should leave me.
You're only saying that
'cause you know I wouldn't.
It seems I've grown on you.
I just don't want to get in
trouble with the boss if you die.
And here I am,
thinking you admire me.
You're walking away from power
and wealth into uncertainty.
Of course I admire you.
It doesn't matter much
if we're dead in a ditch.
Hey.
We are not done here yet.
Hey.
Vicktor the bodyguard
was responsible for sending
Tatyana's itinerary to Nino.
And I have CCTV footage
of him entering her hotel this morning.
KAI: Oh, wow.
So, he pushed Nino out the window
before heading to Kaua'i
with Lucy and Tatyana?
It would appear that way.
Okay, so who's paying him? Uh
separatists, uh, a rival private army,
- the Russians?
- Building off the intel
from our affable
Canadian war correspondent
you two looked happy, by the way.
Wait, how do you-how do you
know how we
Turns out it's none of the above.
Vicktor worked for the Sokolov family
since he was a teenager.
You don't get more loyal than this guy.
He's taken bullets for them.
His loyalty is to the family,
- not Tatyana.
- Exactly.
If he got wind that
she wanted to defect,
he'd tell her brother.
'Cause if she succeeded
She would share
all her family's secrets.
It would end them.
SAM: You seeing what I'm seeing?
A lot more blood the further we go.
Two ahead.
TENNANT: Two more at ten o'clock.
SAM: Based on their formation,
they're ready to engage.
Yeah, well, we got another problem.
Where are the rest of them?
[GROANING SOFTLY]
[LEAVES RUSTLING]
I counted three bullets.
Yep. I'm out.
What now?
I'm open to suggestions.
[GUNFIRE CONTINUING]
We got problems.
Even to a Russian,
that's an understatement.
We're done if they flank us.
What do we do now?
Stay here. I'm gonna go for the gun.
That's crazy.
Probably.
Hey, boss. Thanks for coming.
We're not done yet.
Contact left!
Hope as strategy.
Told you it'd work.
[HELICOPTER APPROACHING]
The med team's coming in.
LUCY: Great.
We're gonna get you
out of here safe, Tatyana.
Okay.
LUCY: How are you feeling?
Like my entire life hangs on
what's happening in that room.
Fair.
But I mean everything else. The leg
Or the fact this was all my brother?
No pain pills for that, I'm afraid.
Whatever happens,
you're gonna be all right.
Whatever happens,
I lose everything I ever knew.
Will it have been worth it?
If you were gonna be true to yourself,
did you have any other choice?
[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]
Just spoke to the State
Department, DoD and Justice.
So have I defected?
Yes.
State's giving you asylum,
effective immediately.
JESSE: They're gonna have
a lot of questions
about your brother
and the family business.
I will answer them all.
What now?
I escort you to a plane that'll take you
to a secure location for debriefing.
Can I give you a hand?
Yeah. Unless you want me to take you.
You've done enough.
Go live your life, Lucy Tara.
Think maybe I should go, too.
I think someone else
needs you right now.
[EXHALES SHARPLY]
I waited as long as I could.
Wow.
I didn't realize I missed you so much.
Or how strong you are.
[BOTH LAUGH]
It was only 12 hours.
Felt longer.
Seems like you and Tatyana
found common ground.
Her family makes my family
seem like the Waltons.
Does that mean I get
to meet them, finally?
Let's just stick with the basics.
You, me, the couch
and some bad reality TV.
Mm-hmm.
Come on.
[SOFT CHUCKLE]
Hey, there.
Hey, back.
I heard there was big changes
in the Sokolov organization.
You know I can't say.
That's all right. I got other sources.
It's gonna be a big story.
Oh.
Hey, um
do you ever think about
what it would be like
if we had more than just, um,
deployments and vacations?
We make do.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I can drive you to the airport.
That flight took off
a half hour ago, Kai.
That is not very responsible of you.
Well, it means a girl's stuck
here for another 24 hours.
Really? Any ideas on what she could do?
Yeah. Yeah, I have a few.
Dinner.
Uh, nighttime stroll.
Yeah.
Or
- Let's go with "or."
- Yeah.
Little thank-you gift for
helping us out with the Chemist.
Figured the thank-you was helping
bring Lucy and Tatyana back safe.
Nah. I do that out of loyalty.
Ooh. Good stuff.
You must be very grateful.
Well, the Chemist made good.
We have three labs on our target list.
Well, I hope you find
what you're looking for.

Not to mention the two beside me.

Hey.
How you doing, Lucy?
Spent the night
writing reports and getting
paint out of my hair,
so, you know, peachy.
Well, the State Department
sends their thanks
for your steadfast protection
of their VIP.
That mean they're covering
her dry cleaning bill?
[SHORT CHUCKLE]
You are welcome to submit a claim.
All right, what do we know
so far about the incident?
13 nations here for Pacific Summit
urging de-escalation
of global armaments.
And people really aren't happy that
Tatyana Sokolov whose family
owns the world's largest
private military firm
is participating.
Lucy included.
Considering her father
was fighting proxy wars
for the Russians until, like, yesterday.
All right, may be true, but
the daughter is not the father.
And those ties ended
when the Russians killed him.
Tatyana and her brother took
over the family business
and they're still making billions off
of world suffering, but
it's great she's into peace.
Bottom line, a lot of people
have beef with our VIP.
Guess we're lucky that it was
only Pantone Red 32 in that bomb.
Okay. Well, any leads on who planted it?
Pulled media footage and CCTV.
But no, nothing yet.
How about the obvious ones?
Russians don't tend
to fire off warning shots.
Poison's more their M.O.
Or plane accidents or fatal falls.
All right, what else
is on Tatyana's itinerary?
She has several private meetings
here and on Kaua'i.
Hey, Jesse, go get with Ernie.
See what else he's learned
about the attack.
LUCY: All right.
[SIGHS] I'm gonna head home.
Watch some bad TV with Kate.
What?
The State Department had one
more message to pass along.
Tatyana has specifically
requested you to be her point agent.
[LAUGHS]
Come on, she barely even
looked at me yesterday.
Something about saving her life?
It was a paint bomb.
- I basically saved her outfit.
- [PHONE VIBRATES]
Well, either way,
I'm grateful for your service.
Shift starts in an hour.

Am I in trouble?
Maybe I just want to know
where the best pancakes
are on the island.
Well, that's not a state secret.
NCIS ELITE is.
Mm, your cool new action team.
I can neither confirm nor deny
how cool they are.
But they exist.
A team with a special set
of skills taking on
off-the-books missions
that nobody's supposed
to know about. Hmm.
It's a pilot program.
And you want me to join.
Actually, no.
Really?
You'd never accept.
Well.
Alexi Volkoff.
The Russian mob tried to kidnap
him from a con air flight,
but we got him back.
Sent him stateside.
That's mostly accurate.
He never left the island.
We've been working him for intel.
Has labs around the world filled
with all kinds of chemicals.
Bioweapons.
- National security threat.
- And you're sweeping them up
before anyone else can get to them.
It's been months.
He keeps sending us places,
we keep coming up empty.
- Well, he's playing you.
- Stalling.
Or keeping his advantage.
Just having fun.
You're asking for an assist.
Put me in, coach.
I'll be in touch.
I can't say when.
Okay.
Over Easy.

Mm-hmm.
There-there was a harrowing moment
where it looked like
they were out of oat milk.
Oh, any other highlights?
Ah, no, no.
Snug as a bug all night.
So, I'm gonna grab me
another latte for the road.
WOMAN: I was always told
Marines didn't drink fancy coffee.
And I was told war correspondents
were allergic to five-star hotels.
- You were misled, friend.
- Yeah, so were you.
You still owe me
a bottle of Johnnie Blue.
I paid that debt four years ago.
It's not my fault
the bullet shattered the bottle.

- War friend.
- Aw.
Camille Davies.
We met in Afghanistan.
And by "met," she means
she "fell into my bunker."
I leapt into your bunker for cover.
We were being ambushed.
Oh. That's adorable.
Uh, Camille writes
for the Toronto Examiner.
- Oh, you're Canadian?
- Yeah, but don't be scared.
We're just like Americans, only
we have a different word

"Garburator" is not a word.
[LAUGHS]: It's not a word.
- What?
- Oh. You're the Canadian?
We were convinced that you weren't real.
[SNAPS FINGERS] She's real.
I-I don't understand.
Don't worry, Lucy has
that effect on people.
Hey.
[PHONE VIBRATES]
Of course, now Her Majesty
is ready. Camille,
it was so great to meet you.
- Kai, I have questions.
- Yeah?
Okay.
- "Her Majesty"?
- Yeah.
We're uh, working a detail.
- Can't say more.
- Meaning you can't say
it's Tatyana Sokolov staying
in this hotel under an alias.
- So you're here for work?
- No.
- Strictly vacation.
- Oh, yeah?
Were you gonna tell me
that you were coming?
You know it's bad luck to plan.
Yeah.
But I'm here now, so
Yeah. For how long?
Leave on the red-eye tomorrow.
It's not a lot of time.
Make the most of it.
Come find me later by the water.
We're surrounded by water.
Took you long enough.
I have a meeting in 30 minutes.
Oh, good morning to you, too.
You seem fine
for being blown up yesterday.
Not my first time.
Though it was the most colorful attempt.
My brother, Dmitry,
was shot once.
Nearly severed an artery.
He wouldn't even blink at a paint bomb.
Then how come he's not here?
Peace really isn't his thing.
But it's yours?
Just sort of a complete 180
from your family's whole
vibe.
Never too late to make a change.
You could see how people might be
getting mixed messages, though, right?
What, with all the war-making.
You don't care for my family.
And I think it's ironic.
Considering how
alike our families are.
I'm sorry.
Our families are alike?
Powerful, wealthy.
Oil and war.
Two sides of the same coin.
You did a background check on me?
On all of you.
And I meant the comparison
as a compliment.
That's somehow worse.
I don't have anything to do
with my family's business.
Your brother
Michael is taking over?
Strange that your oldest brother isn't.
Personal problems?
You don't like talking
about your family, do you?
Being associated with their business.
Neither do I.
Don't make assumptions.
Vicktor?
Let's go. Wow.
Rewind there.
Pause.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Can you blow that up?
What does that body language say to you?
It's clear. They've been intimate.
Apparently Kai's made-up
on-and-off girlfriend isn't so made-up.
Camille Davies.
International correspondent for
various papers over the years.
Loves beaches, countries in
the throes of civil war, and
a crisp white wine.
He kept her from us this whole time?
Like he thinks we're intrusive.
[SCOFFS]
Well, you did run
a full background check on her.
[COMPUTER BLIPS]
Well, it's 'cause
we've been waiting on this.
Right. List of anyone who has
ever publicly opposed,
protested or attacked
the Sokolov family.
Is that Chad? As, as in the nation?
Well, there's also a Chad Nix
in Iowa who loathes Tatyana.
Rival private military
companies, rebels,
- college protest groups
- Stop.
Yeah, this one here.
I saw her at the protest yesterday.
Nino Eliava.
Firebrand out of Georgia.
The
Country, not the state.
Says that she's the leader
of something called
the "Dawn Crusaders."
Opposition group in Eastern Europe.
Outlawed in Georgia for acts
of aggression and terror.
- Like paint bombs?
- Like bomb-bombs.
At least according
to the Georgian government.
Okay, we have any idea where she is now?
As good as Nino is at opposing,
she's not so great
at covering her tracks.
Her latest location
is somewhere around
Bishop and Queen.
That's where Lucy is with
Tatyana for a private meeting.
Jesse, we're on the move.
JESSE [OVER PHONE]:
I just arrived. I'll meet you.
Those were the most influential
players in global aid.
I won't get them all in a room again.
Active threat trumps
influential players.
I'm not the person you think I am.
I think you're the person
that I'm gonna get in the car
and back to safety.
At the courtyard.
JESSE: I got you.
Want to know why I requested you?
You got strange timing.
Feels like I'm running out of time.
Hey, I need your attention.
I got eyes on the threat.
Get behind me.
Tatyana Sokolov.
I hold you accountable.
Ma'am, I need you stay where you are.
Federal Agent. Stop.
She's got something in her hand.
I got her. Get Tatyana out now.
Come on.
- You need to pay attention to me.
- Seriously?
I told you we're alike.
Okay, just stop saying that.
You want nothing to do with your family.
- Neither do I.
- Let's just go, okay?
Lucy, listen to what I'm saying
I want to defect.
Once you head down the road to defect,
there's no turning back.
So I'm wondering why you're doing it.
And of all the people in the
world to trust, it's Jane Tennant.
Don't take my apprehension personally.
I have many enemies,
few friends and limited trust.
Who else knows?
[CHUCKLES]
I-I can't be the first person you told.
I would not be here
if I shared this with anyone.
Even my family.
News like this will send shock waves.
And now we're at the center of it.
Does that mean you'll help me?
TENNANT: It's not our choice.
I sent it up the flagpole.
State's discussing process.
Then this was a mistake.
Then give us something
you do have. A carrot.
From your family's business with Russia.
When arrangements are in place.
Not how this works.
TATYANA: It's exactly how this works.
My father taught me many things.
One is to ration your bullets
you only have so many.
Well, in that case, you should
get back to your itinerary.
I'll let you know when State responds.
Wait, are-are we staying
with the schedule?
After two attacks?
That's not ideal,
but right now we just need
to make sure that
Ms. Sokolov stays in Hawai'i
until this is sorted out.
What if there's another attack?
The woman you have in custody
has been coming at us for years
She is an annoyance,
but no longer an issue.
For now, at least.
♪
Came a long way from Georgia.
Yeah, most tourists,
they go to the beaches.
But you end up at a political protest.
And a private meeting
you weren't supposed
- to know about.
- You want to explain why?
I have been following Tatyana
in order to protest her.
KAI: By what?
By planting a paint bomb in a backpack?
And threatening her with this?
NINO: The blood of my people.
Spilled by Sokolov soldiers.
It's cow's blood.
From a butcher, according to our lab.
Transporting human blood is illegal.
I don't know how it works in Georgia,
but assaulting a public figure
here for a peace conference
is also illegal.
You have no proof against me.
Actually, we have the remnants
of the paint bomb.
And I witnessed you attacking Tatyana.
You witnessed me confront her
using my right to free speech.
And if you could prove
I planted any bombs,
we'd be having a different discussion.
Why do you hate her so much?
Sokolovs kill indiscriminately.
Maybe Tatyana's different.
Because she came to a conference?
Peace isn't profitable.
Whatever Tatyana Sokolov is doing here
will only lead to more destruction.
And you're here to stop her.
To expose her,
which is a form of protest.
And absolutely legal.
You know American law now?
No. But my lawyers do.
Reich and Willmont.
Shall I call or you?
KAI: So
Nino's convinced the Sokolovs have
an ulterior motive
for being on the island.
Beyond disarmament.
Well, a strategic agreement
with the U.S. could reshape
the geopolitical landscape
in Eastern Europe.
Yeah, well, it makes sense
why the Russians
might want to stop that from happening.
But Nino's group should welcome it.
No, I think that we're
missing something.
But Tatyana's withholding,
and State's staying quiet.
I might know someone who can help.
You mean Camille Davies,
the war correspondent
from the Toronto Examiner?
You How do you-you?
I know everything, Kai.
Huh.
Sam.
- Is it game day?
- SAM: Yep.
I got one question. Hood? Or Blindfold?
That was a long ride.
You can take off your blindfold.
Suggests that we went north.
Anytime, Jane.
Half of the ride was
on unpaved roads, so
- You don't have to guess.
- I'm just saying it's gonna take
more than a blindfold to surprise me

- Delta House.
Most secure facility on the island.

But you're not here
to listen to my grievances.
Oh, you have
an understandably cautious tendency.
Hmm.
A less generous person

Hypochondria suggests unwarranted fear.

kill, disfigure,
at a molecular level.
Ignorance is bliss.
Not to mention that
you have personally weaponized
many of those threats.
Hm.
We need the locations of your labs.
I've shared this information
with your colleagues.
The real locations.
Not empty storage facilities.
Perhaps somebody beat you to the punch.
Perhaps you're stalling.
Which would be bad form, considering
my colleague and I saved your life.
Oh, this has been delightful
existence ever since.
Only one reason
to keep that information.

Hmm. Insurance.

- You think somehow your
gangster friends
will bust you out again.

Consistent,
for someone worldwide known
as the Chemist.

It's not even accurate, this moniker.
But it's flattering nevertheless.
While it lasts.
Nobody's work comes even close.
It doesn't matter.
See, you think the worst thing
that you could do
would be to cooperate with us.
When, in fact, the worst thing would be
someone else finding your work
and using it as their own.
- This is not a worry.
- And then they become
the Chemist.
And you are just a guy
in a windowless room.
Hmm.
So
it is legacy that you're offering me?

- That's not enough?

You don't have to be friends with her.
I know, it's just,
she thinks we're somehow alike.
Uh, well, that's ridiculous.
- Right?
- You aren't Russian,
you don't own part of a private

- No. That is what I said.
I mean, you do both
come from powerful families
and have chosen your own separate paths.
Kate, whose side are you on?
Yours. A-Always yours.
Just, I think it's creepy.
She did all this research into my past,
even knows things about my brothers.
That's hard, since you don't go deep
when it comes to your family.
Even with me.
I go deep.
Very deep.
I just There's nothing
to go deep about,
and nothing's wrong, everything's fine.
We're just like most families.
Maybe, in a way,
Tatyana's looking for a guide
through her own family dilemma,
and you can help her.
Then why does it feel like
she's hiding something from me?

I ever taken a vacation?
Never.

playing you for information.
Yeah.

Tatyana Sokolov.
Why do you think I know
about Tatyana Sokolov?
Because I'm not a fool.
And because you get intel others can't.
She's not here for the conference.
She's here to broker
the biggest arms deal in
the last 20 years for her family.
Does the State Department know?
They set it up, Kai.
It's a big deal for everyone.
It'll legitimize the Sokolov
relationship with the U.S.,
and even higher stakes
for the people who
can't afford to let the deal go through.
In other words,
something bad is brewing.
An arms deal?
You're here at
a peace conference to buy guns?
Actually, missiles and drones.
Big secret to keep from us.
It's not my fault the State
Department keeps you in the dark.

completely at your mercy.

Waimea is the Grand
Canyon of the Pacific,

make sure we're not being followed?
- I'll take a look at this wound.
- I'm unarmed.
Well, I'm not asking you to engage,
and I am not handing you my weapon.
[SHARP INHALE]
[GROANING]
You walked the whole way
with this in your leg?
You're strong.
Unfortunately, that's gonna have
to stay in or you're gonna bleed out.
Wouldn't that make your day?
Hey
You trust your team to make it?
With my life.
[JACKET RIPPING]
HANNA: AK-47 magazines.
TENNANT: A lot of 'em.
Looks like five, maybe six suspects.
Judging from their tracks,
these guys are organized.
They know small unit tactics.
They're all heading in after Lucy.
Let's go find our people.
Wait
Thought you were going after Nino.
- Someone beat us to it.
- Yeah, HPD found her.
She took a plunge
out of a ten-story window.
Assuming it wasn't an accident.
Highly unlikely.
[SIGHS] That's too bad.
'Cause I figured out Nino got
access to Tatyana's itinerary
from an anonymous email.
It's a setup.
AK-47s, rockets
Whoever's behind this
really wanted us to think
it was Nino and her group.
- She's a patsy.
- Yeah.
Okay, so who set her up?
Occam's razor.
Most likely answer is the simplest one.
Someone who had access to
the itinerary in the first place.
Let me ask you something.
How long have you known Vicktor?
He's been with my family for years.
So you trust him?
He was my father's man,
now usually my brother's, but
he's loyal, yes.
You think he's involved?
Yeah, that's what I'm gonna sort out.
- [GRUNTS]
- Oh!
[GRUNTING]
[SHOTS ECHOING]
That was a single weapon.
No return fire.
Could mean anything.
Not trying to guess what it means.
It's proof we're on the right track.
Yeah, but we're not
the only ones who heard it.
What do we do now?
We go the other way.
And fast.
- Can you move?
- I'll try.
You know him?
It's Vicktor.
Tatyana's personal bodyguard.
Turned on the person he
was supposed to protect.
Someone paid him off.
Doesn't matter to me till we find Lucy.
Vicktor was killed
with a handgun. Close range.
But there was a fight.
Got a lot of boot prints
headed up this hill.
Good.
'Cause I'm pretty sure
Lucy and Tatyana went this way.
You a tracker now, Jane Tennant?
No. But I know a sign when I see one.
Sunshine Organic.
It's Lucy's dry cleaners.
She left it for me.
Wow. That's smart.
But she's not the only one.
What do you mean?
See those prints over there?
One of the bad guys swung back around.
He's on their tail.
[TATYANA PANTING]
I need to stop.
We really can't.
I'm trying, but
[MOANS]
- No, no, don't.
- Yeah, okay,
you're right, you're right.
Let's take five.
Okay.
Do you have any more
ammunition than that?
To be honest?
No.
I was foolish to think
I could ever escape this life.
- We're not finished here.
- I am.
You should leave me.
You're only saying that
'cause you know I wouldn't.
It seems I've grown on you.
I just don't want to get in
trouble with the boss if you die.
And here I am,
thinking you admire me.
You're walking away from power
and wealth into uncertainty.
Of course I admire you.
It doesn't matter much
if we're dead in a ditch.
Hey.
We are not done here yet.
Hey.
Vicktor the bodyguard
was responsible for sending
Tatyana's itinerary to Nino.
And I have CCTV footage
of him entering her hotel this morning.
KAI: Oh, wow.
So, he pushed Nino out the window
before heading to Kaua'i
with Lucy and Tatyana?
It would appear that way.
Okay, so who's paying him? Uh
separatists, uh, a rival private army,
- the Russians?
- Building off the intel
from our affable
Canadian war correspondent
you two looked happy, by the way.
Wait, how do you-how do you
know how we
Turns out it's none of the above.
Vicktor worked for the Sokolov family
since he was a teenager.
You don't get more loyal than this guy.
He's taken bullets for them.
His loyalty is to the family,
- not Tatyana.
- Exactly.
If he got wind that
she wanted to defect,
he'd tell her brother.
'Cause if she succeeded
She would share
all her family's secrets.
It would end them.
SAM: You seeing what I'm seeing?
A lot more blood the further we go.
Two ahead.
TENNANT: Two more at ten o'clock.
SAM: Based on their formation,
they're ready to engage.
Yeah, well, we got another problem.
Where are the rest of them?
[GROANING SOFTLY]
[LEAVES RUSTLING]
I counted three bullets.
Yep. I'm out.
What now?
I'm open to suggestions.
[GUNFIRE CONTINUING]
We got problems.
Even to a Russian,
that's an understatement.
We're done if they flank us.
What do we do now?
Stay here. I'm gonna go for the gun.
That's crazy.
Probably.
Hey, boss. Thanks for coming.
We're not done yet.
Contact left!
Hope as strategy.
Told you it'd work.
[HELICOPTER APPROACHING]
The med team's coming in.
LUCY: Great.
We're gonna get you
out of here safe, Tatyana.
Okay.
LUCY: How are you feeling?
Like my entire life hangs on
what's happening in that room.
Fair.
But I mean everything else. The leg
Or the fact this was all my brother?
No pain pills for that, I'm afraid.
Whatever happens,
you're gonna be all right.
Whatever happens,
I lose everything I ever knew.
Will it have been worth it?
If you were gonna be true to yourself,
did you have any other choice?
[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]
Just spoke to the State
Department, DoD and Justice.
So have I defected?
Yes.
State's giving you asylum,
effective immediately.
JESSE: They're gonna have
a lot of questions
about your brother
and the family business.
I will answer them all.
What now?
I escort you to a plane that'll take you
to a secure location for debriefing.
Can I give you a hand?
Yeah. Unless you want me to take you.
You've done enough.
Go live your life, Lucy Tara.
Think maybe I should go, too.
I think someone else
needs you right now.
[EXHALES SHARPLY]
I waited as long as I could.
Wow.
I didn't realize I missed you so much.
Or how strong you are.
[BOTH LAUGH]
It was only 12 hours.
Felt longer.
Seems like you and Tatyana
found common ground.
Her family makes my family
seem like the Waltons.
Does that mean I get
to meet them, finally?
Let's just stick with the basics.
You, me, the couch
and some bad reality TV.
Mm-hmm.
Come on.
[SOFT CHUCKLE]
Hey, there.
Hey, back.
I heard there was big changes
in the Sokolov organization.
You know I can't say.
That's all right. I got other sources.
It's gonna be a big story.
Oh.
Hey, um
do you ever think about
what it would be like
if we had more than just, um,
deployments and vacations?
We make do.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I can drive you to the airport.
That flight took off
a half hour ago, Kai.
That is not very responsible of you.
Well, it means a girl's stuck
here for another 24 hours.
Really? Any ideas on what she could do?
Yeah. Yeah, I have a few.
Dinner.
Uh, nighttime stroll.
Yeah.
Or
- Let's go with "or."
- Yeah.
Little thank-you gift for
helping us out with the Chemist.
Figured the thank-you was helping
bring Lucy and Tatyana back safe.
Nah. I do that out of loyalty.
Ooh. Good stuff.
You must be very grateful.
Well, the Chemist made good.
We have three labs on our target list.
Well, I hope you find
what you're looking for.
ELITE is already on the move.
You're not going with?
I'm-a stay close to the Chemist.
And Hawai'i.
Can't quit us, huh? [SNORTS]
[CHUCKLES]
Kind of getting used to it here.
[LAUGHS] Nice.
