NCIS: LA 9x02 Se Murio El Payaso (elevator bell chimes) MAN: Hey.
(car alarm chirps) (grunts) Hey, I'm back.
What do you want me to make for breakfast? I could, uh, do my specialty-- cold cereal.
Which, after many YouTube tutorials, I can now offer in Shredded Wheat and Frosted Flakes.
Anna? ANNA: No! Get away from me.
Oh, you are done! (Anna grunts) Come on, guys.
You can't leave me hanging like that.
Wha What do you mean you have to go to school, Liam? No, you still have ten minutes before first bell.
(sighs) Okay, okay, you're right.
I'll catch you suckers tomorrow.
Were you really trying to convince a kid not to go to school so he could play video games with you? - Once a quitter, always a quitter? - Huh.
I didn't realize what a big gamer you are.
Yeah, well, some people do yoga, some meditate.
I, uh, play Halo 5 with my teammates.
Your teammates? Mm-hmm.
Liam, Jacob, Mason and Noah.
(chuckles) Okay.
I know this is so not cool, but I love it.
And don't think you can get me to stop playing because - It's what makes you happy.
Why would I try? So when did I get an Xbox? Um, I brought it over last week.
Hid it in the garage.
I have a garage? (laughs) (phone buzzes) Hmm.
(sighs) It's Nell.
Yeah, me, too.
I'm gonna miss this.
You heard back from ATF? Yeah.
Yeah, they want me to come in again on Friday.
I think they're gonna tell me that I got the job.
Well, they'll be lucky to have you.
We should go.
Yeah.
Maybe you can, uh, teach me how to play.
I I don't want to brag, but I never lost a game of Tecmo Bowl.
Halo 5 is so not Tecmo Bowl.
(laughs) NELL: Good morning.
Good morning.
Morning.
Special Agent DeChamps.
We doing a joint case with the Secret Service? Yes.
Agent, DeChamps has been working a long-term undercover assignment targeting the Marca family.
Alfonso Marca, from Peru? That's him.
Our paths crossed years ago.
His counterfeit currency was being used to make large weapons purchases in eastern Europe.
ERIC: According to the Secret Service, his Peruvian notes are the best U.
S.
counterfeit bills.
NELL: Now, while undercover, Agent DeChamps learned that Marco's daughter Lucila just arrived in Los Angeles.
Lucila is believed to be running the production and distribution end of the business while her father brokers the big deals.
ERIC: Early this morning, Secret Service used a covert team to pick up Lucila, and, under the direction of Agent DeChamps, brought her to the boatshed.
Kensi and Deeks are on their way now to interrogate her.
Hold on a second, why is NCIS getting involved? Well, in her undercover capacity, Agent DeChamps came across these guys-- marine reservists Steve Lillard and Chris Helmsman.
They work for Marca in America? Yeah.
She thinks they're smuggling the counterfeit notes into L.
A.
We have a location on Lillard and Helmsman? Not yet.
We're still working on that.
NELL: Now, Agent DeChamps would like our assistance working her undercover op as well.
CALLEN: DeChamps has plenty of resources at Secret Service.
If she wants us in on this, she's running a pretty tight loop.
ERIC: Marca's been in operation for close to three decades.
There's no telling if he has people placed inside the investigative branch of the Secret Service.
I'll speak to Agent DeChamps.
Anna and I will talk to her Overwatch team.
I'll get you those addresses on your phones.
- Thanks.
- Also, let us know as soon as you have a location on Lillard and Helmsman.
(construction noise in background) A girl can't wear man suits every day.
Ha.
Hey, thanks for helping out with this case, Sam.
Not a problem.
I've been under three months, and besides, my Overwatch team, I don't know who I can trust anymore.
We thought Lucila may be running the U.
S.
operation, but after we picked her up, nothing.
- The deal's still moving forward.
- With her father? That's what it looks like.
So what's our play? I'm backstopped as a mid-level player.
I tried to score a deal with a guy downstream from Marca, but the stakes got raised and they offered me more notes.
So you had to go to your âfinancierâ for more flow.
Exactly.
But my financier, Mr.
Brighton, can be reclusive at times.
How do you like your L.
A.
condo, Mr.
Brighton? It'll do.
But your wardrobe won't.
Okay.
(chuckles) I'll change.
(laughs) NELL: Is that the Panama canal? ERIC: Yeah.
What is it you're looking for? Hetty.
This case got me thinking-- maybe she went in another direction.
(busy traffic) They agreed to let you see him.
You have the money? (unzips bag) Where's the rest? Half now, half on confirmation.
That is not what we agree on.
So walk away.
You're richer now than you were when you arrived.
Let's go.
- Callen? - Hey, Tom.
Didn't realize you were Secret Service.
Yeah, counter- assault team.
I bowed out of the army after my last deployment.
CAT Division's top-notch.
They must be keeping you busy.
Tom Rhee.
Anna Kolcheck.
Got any good Callen stories for me? Oh, I got a few.
One involving a clown, the KGB and a cheetah stands out.
(Callen laughs) I'll buy you dinner for that story.
Deal.
But real talk-- without your partner, I wouldn't be standing here today.
I still owe you, Callen.
We're good.
CAT has Overwatch on Agent DeChamps right now.
(phone buzzing) RHEE: My guys informed me that your man just arrived.
ANNA: Yeah? - We can support your team in any way.
We're good, but I'd never turn down your help.
ANNA: Thanks, Nell.
That was Ops.
They got a last known location on Steven Lillard and Chris Helmsman, leaving a clothing store on Melrose.
Go, run 'em down.
I got your man's back.
I know you do.
Hey.
Hey, guys.
Uh, Secret Service handed off Lucila Marca.
I signed for her and I put her in the room.
Thank you.
Okay.
She say anything? No.
She's been rather, I don't know, pleasant.
She was picked up by undercover agents in a foreign land and taken to an unmarked boatshed and she's been pleasant? Even asked me how my day is going.
Well, that does sound pretty pleasant.
You guys got it from here? DEEKS: Yeah, no.
We're definitely pleasant.
Thank you.
KENSI: Lucila Marca (sighs) Now, does that look like one of the leaders of the biggest counterfeiting organization in the world? DEEKS: If crime bosses are now looking like Leo's next girlfriend, then yeah.
Hmm, yeah, I'm thinking she's not just going to admit running her family's business in the U.
S.
I don't know, I have faith in her.
You know, I like to see the best in people.
Let's go.
Oh She's very pretty.
Stop.
Mm.
ANNA: There it is.
Eric spotted Lillard and Helmsman leaving that clothing store yesterday.
All right, well, sounds like we need to get inside and have a look around.
ANNA: Hmm.
Two saleswomen, no customers.
You have a play? I think I do.
(pop music playing in background) Cute.
(gasps) Oh, now, these are the jeans I was talking about, babe.
Is this all Triarchy? Yes, it is-- we get new shipments every day.
Oh, I'm just obsessed.
I love, love, love.
Can I start a room for you? Of course you can.
I take it you're not obsessed with our jeans.
Not in the least.
(sighs) You're a good sport.
I gotta tell you I don't want to be here.
Oh, news flash-- not many guys do.
No.
I don't want to be here with her.
Oh.
ANNA: Babe, these jeans rock! You are living the life, babe! I hate the word âbabe.
â And what I hate more is couples that call each other âbabe.
â She's sweet.
He hates her.
She's like Gollum, but instead of One Ring, she wants a purse and a belt and a watch, a car.
Hey.
S-Sit down.
Breathe.
Tia, get him that water bottle.
Thank you.
CALLEN: I'm sorry, I I'm all right.
Let me just, uh Let me just sit here for a second.
SALESWOMAN: Calm down.
You're having a panic attack.
CALLEN: She may look small, but the damage she can do at Matsuhisa SALESWOMAN 2: How are you doing there? Can I get you any other sizes? Hey, are you in there? She's not in the dressing room.
I think I'm feeling better.
I can't find her.
She must've left.
Maybe this is my chance.
My cell's on the back.
Thanks.
(chuckles) I'm like Gollum? Really? Get in the car, precious.
How does it fit? Like a glove.
Perfect.
Agent Park will back us up.
Someone from Marca's team will be here momentarily to vet you.
Do you think they know we have Lucila in custody? Still nothing from them that leads me to believe they know.
We haven't been able to pin down her exact role, so we don't know how closely she's being monitored.
(phone chiming) He's on his way up.
You dialed in a way to play this role? Don't worry about me.
They're expecting financial genius, not drug dealer.
They can be one and the same.
(knocking on door) Reclusive, nervous.
I got this.
(door opens) Right this way.
DECHAMPS: Michael.
I wasn't expecting you to be here.
I thought you were in New York.
Can I have Tina get you something? No.
Thank you.
You must be Terence Brighton.
Yes, hello.
It's a pleasure to meet you.
Let's take a seat.
Sure.
Mr.
Brighton has financed my transactions for many years.
Since the numbers were going up, you wanted I wanted to meet this mysterious financier in person.
You made your money in real estate, Mr.
Brighton? REITs.
Real estate investment trusts.
It was my signature mix of commercial shopping ventures, residential mortgages, hotel construction, giving my shareholders an annualized return just shy of 28.
4 Okay.
I get it.
You obviously know your numbers in real estate.
You've been very successful in that lane.
So why our business? Well, Mr.
Brighton knows a solid opportunity when I was asking him.
Ah, sure.
Well It's good business.
Elaborate.
It's simple math.
You pay for the paper, the flour, the glue, you pay your artists, you pay between three and six dollars for a hundred dollar bill, I pay $20 for a hundred dollar bill That's rather presumptive on cost.
I'm sorry.
I'll stop.
So why our organization? You have the best quality.
If the paper's off, the color isn't there, the texture doesn't please the touch, then the equation doesn't work.
I'll let you know.
(door opens) (door closes) It was startling, but the men identified themselves as federal agents and I understood that they were trying to secure me in a way that wouldn't draw attention if I was being watched.
Do you know why you were brought in for questioning? I'm sorry, what are your names? Uh, I'm Detective Deeks and this is Special Agent Blye.
And your first names? Kensi and Marty.
Oh.
Beautiful names.
Well, âLucilaâ isn't exactly chopped liver, now is it? Mm.
So I have to ask again, do you know why you were brought in for questioning? (exhales) I'm in Los Angeles to do some house-hunting.
But I'm torn between the Bird Streets and Manhattan Beach.
Uh, they're both lovely places.
Yes.
And equally appealing Are you in Los Angeles to supervise the transfer of your family's counterfeit notes? For shopping and dining, there's really no contest; the Bird Streets are a definite favorite, but Manhattan Beach, well it has the beach.
It does have a beach.
Can I have a glass of water? Yeah.
Yeah, I can definitely I'm gonna go grab that.
(Deeks clears throat) Los Angeles just always feels so big.
Sprawling.
I never really lived alone.
Even as a child in Peru, my best friend lived in my room.
You're boring me.
Where would you live, Kensi? The Bird Streets or Manhattan Beach? Neither, they're both above my pay grade.
They don't have to be.
(clears throat) What are you saying? That you are beautiful.
Hmm.
You are smart.
You don't have to do the job you do.
Or be with that man, Marty Deeks.
Who says I'm with that guy? You could be with me.
Live where you want to live.
Buy what you want to buy.
Am I still boring you? Lucila.
Yes? Are you in Los Angeles to supervise the transfer of your family's counterfeit notes? It's not that I'm surprised, I'm impressed.
I know a little bit about the counterfeit game.
Yeah, it wasn't just the facts you were spitting, it was the whole persona.
Well, there's many ways to play the game.
So who is this guy Michael Silva? An American with Peruvian ties.
We believed he was a middle man, offering introductions to Marca in U.
S.
, but it looks like he also helps vet the deals.
This whole U.
C.
thing.
- It fits you.
- Yeah.
I think I like it.
I read your file.
I heard about what happened on the protection detail last year.
You played everything by the book.
There's no way you could've predicted what was gonna happen.
It wasn't your fault.
Try telling that to my protectee's family.
Mm.
Think you'll ever go back to the protection detail? I don't think I can.
Hmm.
What? You really want my opinion? Yes.
If you're not gonna go back to the protection detail, don't stay at the Secret Service.
You're good at this whole U.
C.
thing.
Go to an agency where you can flex that muscle.
Like NCIS? Maybe.
You got to figure out what you want to do, what you're good at, then go somewhere where they let you do that.
I'll think about it.
I heard about your wife, Sam.
I'm so very sorry.
Yeah.
Thank you.
(computer chiming) We're good to go.
4:30 today.
Who are we be meeting with to discuss the deal? Someone with the authority to give you the terms of the deal will meet you at the location.
You can agree to them or not.
SAM: Sir! Can we meet at my condo again? I'm really not good around people.
I'll text you the location.
This is nothing new.
This is harassment is about my DEEKS: I'm so sorry.
Are, are we harassing you? Some people, at this point in the conversation, and given this odd location, some people might ask for legal representation.
Those people would do so because they're uncomfortable being questioned by law enforcement.
But not you, of course.
No.
Mm-mm.
As I was saying, this is nothing new.
My family lives in the shadow of my late grandfather's illicit business.
Counterfeiting business.
He was a kind man.
Wonderful to me.
When my mother and I first saw his estate, it was amazing, he was amazing.
But I knew nothing of what he did.
You had no idea he was the world's best counterfeiter? Along with your father.
My father is a legitimate businessman.
He is one of Peru's most successful men.
He's amassed a fortune by By printing fake money and selling it all over the world.
No.
This is a picture of your father, Alfonso Marca, supervising the loading of counterfeit U.
S.
notes onto a boat bound for Mexico.
KENSI: You can help yourself by helping us, Lucila.
DEEKS: We know that the counterfeit notes are brought into the U.
S.
using coyotes.
Once these shipments reach L.
A.
, where do you store the notes? (quietly): You have to help me.
We can do that.
You just have to answer our questions.
You don't know what these people are capable of.
So then tell us why you're in Los Angeles.
Because of them.
To disappear.
To leave the family, the business, everything.
Leave it all behind.
And where were you going? Contacts were helping me with travel documents.
I was leaving for Vancouver tomorrow.
DEEKS: But not before stopping at the gym for a quick Pilates and a blowout.
The truth is that you were flying out of Santa Monica Airport back to Peru.
No.
You must believe me.
DEEKS: I'd love to.
Alas, I don't think I can, considering you have a private plane at Santa Monica Airport registered under a medical nonprofit.
I don't have anything to do with that.
Yeah, one would think so, until one talked to the pilot, which is exactly what the Secret Service did.
Turns out they had some leverage on him.
KENSI: Yeah, I guess he didn't report some of his illicit income on his tax returns and he was pretty forthcoming about why he's in L.
A.
DEEKS: He said he was here to pick somebody up.
And then take her back to Peru.
You have any idea who that might be? You got to answer quick, 'cause we're in the bonus round now.
This pilot seems like a criminal who's looking to say anything to reduce his sentence.
It'd be a shame if this criminal's word is all you have to go on.
So, Kensi and Deeks weren't making much progress with Lucila, though they may have created a hairline fracture in her story.
Uh, Sam and DeChamps have set a meeting to purchase the counterfeit Peruvian notes and LAPD got us the ink sample that Anna recovered at the clothing store.
And analysis is back.
Let me guess, it's used to make counterfeit dollars.
Not quite dollar bills.
It is a direct match to the color and consistency used to make euros.
So, they smuggle in counterfeit U.
S.
dollars.
They're manufacturing counterfeit euros and then shipping them out.
But the problem with counterfeiting euros lately has been replicating the holographic strip.
NELL: Now, if the Marcas found a way to replicate or steal the holographic strips and they have the ink, they're probably already manufacturing counterfeit euros here in L.
A.
Uh, Callen, an SUV just parked in the alley behind the clothing store.
Two men exited, not Lillard and Helmsman.
NELL: And they're leaving.
They picked up three of the Jerry cans filled with ink.
CALLEN: We got them.
SAM: You have our location, Nell? Yup.
CAT Overwatch is moving into place.
We've got eyes all over you.
Raise your arms, please.
This will be returned to you when you leave.
Cell phones, please.
Let's go.
RHEE: We're in place.
They took DeChamps' weapon and put both phones in a signal killer bag.
So, no comms, no weapons.
RHEE: But they got us.
Does it look like they'll be leaving the harbor on that yacht? Unclear, but we've secured a go-fast boat in case they're looking to head out to sea.
I'll keep you posted.
All right.
Thanks.
CALLEN: Eric, the SUV just pulled into an alley behind this old hotel.
Huh.
Place looks totally abandoned.
Well, the building is listed as closed for remodeling, but I was able to access one of the alley security cameras.
The men from the SUV just went into the hotel.
We'll go see what they're up to.
DEEKS: How does she just sit there? It's been hours.
She hasn't asked for an attorney, either.
Yeah.
It doesn't make any sense.
She talked about her past Mm.
how she grew up in Peru.
DEEKS: On her happy estate of her grandfather built by counterfeit bills.
Mm.
Obviously her past is meaningful to her.
All right, that's it.
We're calling in the meerkats.
Eric.
Uh, yeah.
I need you to look into Lucila's childhood.
Okay.
Uh, what exactly are we looking for here? She was close to her grandfather.
We know that.
So, look into the people that were working at the estate, schooling records, when she moved out, where she's been living since.
And I'm sorry we have nothing more for you, but But, this is me, and when you're dealing with the best in the business, you can't tether them.
You know, you got to, you got to let them run free like a, like a wild salmon that's-that's fighting its way upstream, past sharp rocks and-and grizzly teeth.
That was really going well for a second there and then you you kind of lost it, didn't you? - Yeah.
- Yeah, we'll let you know what we find.
Okay.
Enjoy yourselves.
Someone will be here to meet you.
I know it's not your team, but our Overwatch is solid.
I'm sure it is.
RHEE: These guys are all heavily armed.
I don't like this.
Four men were just dropped off and are approaching the yacht now.
Sending you their images.
Great, we will run them through facial rec.
Copy that.
Marca, Lillard and Helmsman aren't there.
And the guy on the right, that's Michael Silva, who DeChamps and Sam met at the condo.
A deal of this size, Marca would definitely be there.
ERIC: Unless the yacht is leaving the harbor to go and meet Marca.
Marca's men would definitely spot CAT agents following them in a boat.
And there's no way to alert Sam or get him any weapons.
We may have overplayed our hand this time.
And I answered your question.
Mm, not really.
Actually, not at all.
But I do appreciate the fact that you think that you answered my question.
You know what it is that you don't understand about counterfeit notes? No, but I bet you're gonna tell us.
Peruvian notes are artwork, nothing less.
The artists make them with plates and presses and paper and ink.
And the technique is handed down through generations.
Sounds like a lot of work.
It is.
It's time-consuming and hard, which is why Americans use laser printers.
Well, I guess technology wins then.
Mm, technology is faster, but (cell phone chimes) laser printers cannot create art.
That is why the bills made in America are so inferior to the Peruvian notes.
I got to make a call.
You know what it seems like to me? Seems like you know a lot about a business that you know nothing about.
Tell me you got something we can use.
Lucila's story does check out.
She was raised on her grandfather's estate in Peru.
She went to a private school in the area and then on to Pontificia Universidad in Lima.
When did she move to the estate? Um, she was born at the estate, and then she lived there until she moved to Lima for University.
No, no.
But she said that she remembers seeing the estate for the first time with her mom.
Yeah, that doesn't check out with the information we have.
Okay, why would she lie about that? I mean, she's a perfect kid, goes to a great university.
No arrests, no surveillance hits.
I mean, look how happy and grateful she looks in that picture with her new bike.
That's not her on the bike.
What? Yeah, Lucila is standing next to the girl on the bike.
KENSI: The girl on the bike is in every single picture.
ERIC: Uh, that's, uh, Claudia Diaz.
She's the daughter of one of the maids on the estate.
Text Deeks.
Get him out of there now.
DECHAMPS: Michael.
Twice in one day, how nice.
I hope you came here ready to make a deal, Mr.
Brighton.
- - I did.
Will you be presenting the terms of the deal or Mr.
Marca? Why this fascination with Mr.
Marca? No fascination.
Just respect.
The level of the deal is high.
I want Mr.
Marca aware of all details.
He is.
Then we can proceed.
You've become a success in a very difficult business, Mr.
Brighton.
You should you be proud.
I am proud.
But you have a hard time looking me in the eye when I talk to you.
SAM: I Well It's just Yes? I've never been good at that.
Looking people in the eye.
Why? SAM: I don't know, maybe it's just It's okay, Mr.
Brighton.
Just forget that I asked.
When you're big as a kid, you can't fight and you're big, the bullies come and they want to hurt you more maybe because you're big.
I guess that's why I'm like this.
Kids are awful.
If we do this deal for your ceiling amount, which was 35 million Peruvian, how do you plan to convert it? Now, sir, with all respect, that's my business.
Yes, it is, but if you get caught, it might affect my business.
I don't need specifics, Mr.
Brighton, just generals are fine.
I have three networks.
Each has its own separate conversion area.
Las Vegas casinos, big-box electronics stores and colleges.
Colleges? It's new but effective.
There's a high level of small amount cash transactions within college communities.
You talk like a computer, Mr.
Brighton.
- I'm sorry.
- That's okay.
You don't need to apologize.
I love it.
Can we make a deal, Michael? This place is huge.
Private.
We've probably just found the place where they're stashing the counterfeit notes that are brought in from Mexico.
Yeah, but I bet it's also where they're making their fake euros.
(man laughs, indistinct chatter) CALLEN (whispering): Try and avoid gunshots if we can.
We don't know how many others are out there.
Copy that.
(indistinct chatter) (grunts) (man laughs) (grunting) (man grunting) (gun clatters to floor) (man panting) (grunts loudly) (body tumbles down stairs) (groans quietly) No gunshots.
(handcuffs clicking) (out of breath): No gunshots.
LUCILA: I may have to call my lawyer and put an end to this before I fall asleep.
When I was a kid, uh, there was a pack of us.
These kids were like my family, you know? We did everything together.
Must have been really lonely up there on that walled-off estate.
No.
DEEKS: âHey, after school, âwhy you guys come up to my grandfather's scary criminal lair?â Probably didn't go over too well.
I had friends.
Where are you going with this? Well, like Deeks said, it was probably hard to get the kids to come up there.
I mean, it wasn't the easiest drive from town.
So you probably had, what? One good friend? One only friend? I told you that my best friend lived with me on the estate.
This isn't a revelation.
No, it's not a revelation.
(inhales sharply, then clears throat) I like that picture.
She's very pretty.
Beautiful, actually.
You could be twins.
Claudia.
She was my best friend growing up.
She was a charity case, yeah? The janitor's daughter? Not a janitor.
Her mother ran the entire house staff.
KENSI: This photo I would call a revelation.
My passport photo.
So what? After high school, Mr.
Marca told you his plan, didn't he? I don't know what you're talking about.
I'm talking about the birthmark on your neck.
You look really happy in this photo.
I bet you dreamed about that bike.
And that day, it was yours.
Wasn't it, Claudia? When did Mr.
Marca tell you to switch places with Lucila? When it became clear that she was useless.
That she'd never grasp the business in the way that Mr.
Marca had hoped.
DEEKS: So, to take the heat off himself, he created the myth of the mysterious, intelligent and very beautiful daughter taking over the family business.
KENSI: And you agreed to it because you figured it would get you on the inside.
Just maybe he'd let you run that business one day.
DEEKS: But, for the last ten years, he's only seen you as baitfish.
A lure that we bit.
How long have I been here? Three hours? Hmm? Mr.
Marca is a very cautious man.
He has systems in place.
One of those systems is that I check in with a security team every three hours.
I missed that mark.
I have never missed a check-in.
Marca's gonna assume she was picked up by law enforcement.
They're gonna know that Sam and DeChamps are undercover.
I understand.
Michael, we've been waiting a long time.
What's your price for 35 million U.
S.
dollars in Peruvian notes? Shoot her.
(shouts) Now, you look me in the eye.
MICHAEL: Once it became clear that the two of you must be cops, I needed to ensure that Mr.
Marca and his daughter were safely in the air before I dealt with you.
- We have his daughter.
- No.
You have Lucila's friend.
(screams) (DeChamps grunting) (grunts) (groans) (rap song playing) Hey! Take cover.
Take this.
(gunshots) Target down.
(groans) (exhales) Clear.
All right, stay right where you are.
Stay there.
Sorry.
Here.
Have a seat, have a seat.
(exhales) Have a seat.
(grunting) (panting) Been dreaming of the payoff (indistinct conversation) Through the struggles and the trade-offs Fighting tooth and nail on the way up Tell them the truth but they think it's just made up (indistinct conversation continues) I think they got it all wrong We just gotta hold on Federal agents! Lillard, Helmsman, drop the guns.
Raise your hands.
You do as I say, you are all walking out of here.
'Cause we're gonna be legends (shrieks) Gonna get their attention What we're doing here ain't just scary We're federal agents.
Put your hands up.
Stay still.
(music stops) Nice shot.
You, too.
I may have to make room for you on my team.
Your talents are being wasted in Tecmo Bowl.
You're cute.
Marca's aircraft made it into Peruvian airspace.
They're in the wind.
You were great, Sam.
Thank you.
Thanks.
Don't talk, just rest.
I'll be okay.
While you're recovering, don't forget to think about what we talked about.
What's important to me and what I'm good at.
I remember.
You should take off, go be with your team.
Uh, and miss my chance to ride on the big bus? You crazy? You guys gonna let me turn on the siren? (chuckles) Looks like I'm riding with you, Agent DeChamps.
After you, hero.
Let's go.
DEEKS: My brain hurts.
I think I like the days of running around, shooting bad guys more than the eight hour matinee of Single Peruvian Female.
KENSI: Hey, you two.
Wow, you guys look fantastic.
(laughs) Long day.
Yeah? Well, we were gonna head to the pier for some crab and beers, you guys want to join? That sounds divine.
Yeah? I'm in, 'cause I'm beat.
ANNA: You're beat? Did three guys throw you down a staircase? No.
You were in interrogation all day, right? Yeah.
So, no shooting, no running, no fighting.
Yeah, but I used a lot of brain power.
A lot.
His brain hurts.
It's true, my brain does hurt.
Maybe one of you guys could just massage this part? And then work your way down, to this? Hello.
Hey.
I was just, uh, resting my eyes.
Yeah.
I think we should call it a night.
Hetty's out there somewhere.
NELL: I know.
We'll find her.
(taps key) (beeps) We'll let you two catch up.
You look pretty much the same, except the glasses.
I'm sure I look different.
I don't know who you are.
Harris Keane.
Operation Sunshine.
You don't remember the helicopter crash? I remember that there were no survivors, save myself.
I survived.
But you left me to die.
I thought you were dead.
I would've been better off.
If I'd stayed, I would have been captured by the Viet Cong.
Hmm.
Like I was.
They hunted me through the jungle for six days.
They tortured me for months.
NCIS: LA 9x02 Se Murio El Payaso (elevator bell chimes) MAN: Hey.
(car alarm chirps) (grunts) Hey, I'm back.
What do you want me to make for breakfast? I could, uh, do my specialty-- cold cereal.
Which, after many YouTube tutorials, I can now offer in Shredded Wheat and Frosted Flakes.
Anna? ANNA: No! Get away from me.
Oh, you are done! (Anna grunts) Come on, guys.
You can't leave me hanging like that.
Wha What do you mean you have to go to school, Liam? No, you still have ten minutes before first bell.
(sighs) Okay, okay, you're right.
I'll catch you suckers tomorrow.
Were you really trying to convince a kid not to go to school so he could play video games with you? - Once a quitter, always a quitter? - Huh.
I didn't realize what a big gamer you are.
Yeah, well, some people do yoga, some meditate.
I, uh, play Halo 5 with my teammates.
Your teammates? Mm-hmm.
Liam, Jacob, Mason and Noah.
(chuckles) Okay.
I know this is so not cool, but I love it.
And don't think you can get me to stop playing because - It's what makes you happy.
Why would I try? So when did I get an Xbox? Um, I brought it over last week.
Hid it in the garage.
I have a garage? (laughs) (phone buzzes) Hmm.
(sighs) It's Nell.
Yeah, me, too.
I'm gonna miss this.
You heard back from ATF? Yeah.
Yeah, they want me to come in again on Friday.
I think they're gonna tell me that I got the job.
Well, they'll be lucky to have you.
We should go.
Yeah.
Maybe you can, uh, teach me how to play.
I I don't want to brag, but I never lost a game of Tecmo Bowl.
Halo 5 is so not Tecmo Bowl.
(laughs) NELL: Good morning.
Good morning.
Morning.
Special Agent DeChamps.
We doing a joint case with the Secret Service? Yes.
Agent, DeChamps has been working a long-term undercover assignment targeting the Marca family.
Alfonso Marca, from Peru? That's him.
Our paths crossed years ago.
His counterfeit currency was being used to make large weapons purchases in eastern Europe.
ERIC: According to the Secret Service, his Peruvian notes are the best U.
S.
counterfeit bills.
NELL: Now, while undercover, Agent DeChamps learned that Marco's daughter Lucila just arrived in Los Angeles.
Lucila is believed to be running the production and distribution end of the business while her father brokers the big deals.
ERIC: Early this morning, Secret Service used a covert team to pick up Lucila, and, under the direction of Agent DeChamps, brought her to the boatshed.
Kensi and Deeks are on their way now to interrogate her.
Hold on a second, why is NCIS getting involved? Well, in her undercover capacity, Agent DeChamps came across these guys-- marine reservists Steve Lillard and Chris Helmsman.
They work for Marca in America? Yeah.
She thinks they're smuggling the counterfeit notes into L.
A.
We have a location on Lillard and Helmsman? Not yet.
We're still working on that.
NELL: Now, Agent DeChamps would like our assistance working her undercover op as well.
CALLEN: DeChamps has plenty of resources at Secret Service.
If she wants us in on this, she's running a pretty tight loop.
ERIC: Marca's been in operation for close to three decades.
There's no telling if he has people placed inside the investigative branch of the Secret Service.
I'll speak to Agent DeChamps.
Anna and I will talk to her Overwatch team.
I'll get you those addresses on your phones.
- Thanks.
- Also, let us know as soon as you have a location on Lillard and Helmsman.
(construction noise in background) A girl can't wear man suits every day.
Ha.
Hey, thanks for helping out with this case, Sam.
Not a problem.
I've been under three months, and besides, my Overwatch team, I don't know who I can trust anymore.
We thought Lucila may be running the U.
S.
operation, but after we picked her up, nothing.
- The deal's still moving forward.
- With her father? That's what it looks like.
So what's our play? I'm backstopped as a mid-level player.
I tried to score a deal with a guy downstream from Marca, but the stakes got raised and they offered me more notes.
So you had to go to your âfinancierâ for more flow.
Exactly.
But my financier, Mr.
Brighton, can be reclusive at times.
How do you like your L.
A.
condo, Mr.
Brighton? It'll do.
But your wardrobe won't.
Okay.
(chuckles) I'll change.
(laughs) NELL: Is that the Panama canal? ERIC: Yeah.
What is it you're looking for? Hetty.
This case got me thinking-- maybe she went in another direction.
(busy traffic) They agreed to let you see him.
You have the money? (unzips bag) Where's the rest? Half now, half on confirmation.
That is not what we agree on.
So walk away.
You're richer now than you were when you arrived.
Let's go.
- Callen? - Hey, Tom.
Didn't realize you were Secret Service.
Yeah, counter- assault team.
I bowed out of the army after my last deployment.
CAT Division's top-notch.
They must be keeping you busy.
Tom Rhee.
Anna Kolcheck.
Got any good Callen stories for me? Oh, I got a few.
One involving a clown, the KGB and a cheetah stands out.
(Callen laughs) I'll buy you dinner for that story.
Deal.
But real talk-- without your partner, I wouldn't be standing here today.
I still owe you, Callen.
We're good.
CAT has Overwatch on Agent DeChamps right now.
(phone buzzing) RHEE: My guys informed me that your man just arrived.
ANNA: Yeah? - We can support your team in any way.
We're good, but I'd never turn down your help.
ANNA: Thanks, Nell.
That was Ops.
They got a last known location on Steven Lillard and Chris Helmsman, leaving a clothing store on Melrose.
Go, run 'em down.
I got your man's back.
I know you do.
Hey.
Hey, guys.
Uh, Secret Service handed off Lucila Marca.
I signed for her and I put her in the room.
Thank you.
Okay.
She say anything? No.
She's been rather, I don't know, pleasant.
She was picked up by undercover agents in a foreign land and taken to an unmarked boatshed and she's been pleasant? Even asked me how my day is going.
Well, that does sound pretty pleasant.
You guys got it from here? DEEKS: Yeah, no.
We're definitely pleasant.
Thank you.
KENSI: Lucila Marca (sighs) Now, does that look like one of the leaders of the biggest counterfeiting organization in the world? DEEKS: If crime bosses are now looking like Leo's next girlfriend, then yeah.
Hmm, yeah, I'm thinking she's not just going to admit running her family's business in the U.
S.
I don't know, I have faith in her.
You know, I like to see the best in people.
Let's go.
Oh She's very pretty.
Stop.
Mm.
ANNA: There it is.
Eric spotted Lillard and Helmsman leaving that clothing store yesterday.
All right, well, sounds like we need to get inside and have a look around.
ANNA: Hmm.
Two saleswomen, no customers.
You have a play? I think I do.
(pop music playing in background) Cute.
(gasps) Oh, now, these are the jeans I was talking about, babe.
Is this all Triarchy? Yes, it is-- we get new shipments every day.
Oh, I'm just obsessed.
I love, love, love.
Can I start a room for you? Of course you can.
I take it you're not obsessed with our jeans.
Not in the least.
(sighs) You're a good sport.
I gotta tell you I don't want to be here.
Oh, news flash-- not many guys do.
No.
I don't want to be here with her.
Oh.
ANNA: Babe, these jeans rock! You are living the life, babe! I hate the word âbabe.
â And what I hate more is couples that call each other âbabe.
â She's sweet.
He hates her.
She's like Gollum, but instead of One Ring, she wants a purse and a belt and a watch, a car.
Hey.
S-Sit down.
Breathe.
Tia, get him that water bottle.
Thank you.
CALLEN: I'm sorry, I I'm all right.
Let me just, uh Let me just sit here for a second.
SALESWOMAN: Calm down.
You're having a panic attack.
CALLEN: She may look small, but the damage she can do at Matsuhisa SALESWOMAN 2: How are you doing there? Can I get you any other sizes? Hey, are you in there? She's not in the dressing room.
I think I'm feeling better.
I can't find her.
She must've left.
Maybe this is my chance.
My cell's on the back.
Thanks.
(chuckles) I'm like Gollum? Really? Get in the car, precious.
How does it fit? Like a glove.
Perfect.
Agent Park will back us up.
Someone from Marca's team will be here momentarily to vet you.
Do you think they know we have Lucila in custody? Still nothing from them that leads me to believe they know.
We haven't been able to pin down her exact role, so we don't know how closely she's being monitored.
(phone chiming) He's on his way up.
You dialed in a way to play this role? Don't worry about me.
They're expecting financial genius, not drug dealer.
They can be one and the same.
(knocking on door) Reclusive, nervous.
I got this.
(door opens) Right this way.
DECHAMPS: Michael.
I wasn't expecting you to be here.
I thought you were in New York.
Can I have Tina get you something? No.
Thank you.
You must be Terence Brighton.
Yes, hello.
It's a pleasure to meet you.
Let's take a seat.
Sure.
Mr.
Brighton has financed my transactions for many years.
Since the numbers were going up, you wanted I wanted to meet this mysterious financier in person.
You made your money in real estate, Mr.
Brighton? REITs.
Real estate investment trusts.
It was my signature mix of commercial shopping ventures, residential mortgages, hotel construction, giving my shareholders an annualized return just shy of 28.
4 Okay.
I get it.
You obviously know your numbers in real estate.
You've been very successful in that lane.
So why our business? Well, Mr.
Brighton knows a solid opportunity when I was asking him.
Ah, sure.
Well It's good business.
Elaborate.
It's simple math.
You pay for the paper, the flour, the glue, you pay your artists, you pay between three and six dollars for a hundred dollar bill, I pay $20 for a hundred dollar bill That's rather presumptive on cost.
I'm sorry.
I'll stop.
So why our organization? You have the best quality.
If the paper's off, the color isn't there, the texture doesn't please the touch, then the equation doesn't work.
I'll let you know.
(door opens) (door closes) It was startling, but the men identified themselves as federal agents and I understood that they were trying to secure me in a way that wouldn't draw attention if I was being watched.
Do you know why you were brought in for questioning? I'm sorry, what are your names? Uh, I'm Detective Deeks and this is Special Agent Blye.
And your first names? Kensi and Marty.
Oh.
Beautiful names.
Well, âLucilaâ isn't exactly chopped liver, now is it? Mm.
So I have to ask again, do you know why you were brought in for questioning? (exhales) I'm in Los Angeles to do some house-hunting.
But I'm torn between the Bird Streets and Manhattan Beach.
Uh, they're both lovely places.
Yes.
And equally appealing Are you in Los Angeles to supervise the transfer of your family's counterfeit notes? For shopping and dining, there's really no contest; the Bird Streets are a definite favorite, but Manhattan Beach, well it has the beach.
It does have a beach.
Can I have a glass of water? Yeah.
Yeah, I can definitely I'm gonna go grab that.
(Deeks clears throat) Los Angeles just always feels so big.
Sprawling.
I never really lived alone.
Even as a child in Peru, my best friend lived in my room.
You're boring me.
Where would you live, Kensi? The Bird Streets or Manhattan Beach? Neither, they're both above my pay grade.
They don't have to be.
(clears throat) What are you saying? That you are beautiful.
Hmm.
You are smart.
You don't have to do the job you do.
Or be with that man, Marty Deeks.
Who says I'm with that guy? You could be with me.
Live where you want to live.
Buy what you want to buy.
Am I still boring you? Lucila.
Yes? Are you in Los Angeles to supervise the transfer of your family's counterfeit notes? It's not that I'm surprised, I'm impressed.
I know a little bit about the counterfeit game.
Yeah, it wasn't just the facts you were spitting, it was the whole persona.
Well, there's many ways to play the game.
So who is this guy Michael Silva? An American with Peruvian ties.
We believed he was a middle man, offering introductions to Marca in U.
S.
, but it looks like he also helps vet the deals.
This whole U.
C.
thing.
- It fits you.
- Yeah.
I think I like it.
I read your file.
I heard about what happened on the protection detail last year.
You played everything by the book.
There's no way you could've predicted what was gonna happen.
It wasn't your fault.
Try telling that to my protectee's family.
Mm.
Think you'll ever go back to the protection detail? I don't think I can.
Hmm.
What? You really want my opinion? Yes.
If you're not gonna go back to the protection detail, don't stay at the Secret Service.
You're good at this whole U.
C.
thing.
Go to an agency where you can flex that muscle.
Like NCIS? Maybe.
You got to figure out what you want to do, what you're good at, then go somewhere where they let you do that.
I'll think about it.
I heard about your wife, Sam.
I'm so very sorry.
Yeah.
Thank you.
(computer chiming) We're good to go.
4:30 today.
Who are we be meeting with to discuss the deal? Someone with the authority to give you the terms of the deal will meet you at the location.
You can agree to them or not.
SAM: Sir! Can we meet at my condo again? I'm really not good around people.
I'll text you the location.
This is nothing new.
This is harassment is about my DEEKS: I'm so sorry.
Are, are we harassing you? Some people, at this point in the conversation, and given this odd location, some people might ask for legal representation.
Those people would do so because they're uncomfortable being questioned by law enforcement.
But not you, of course.
No.
Mm-mm.
As I was saying, this is nothing new.
My family lives in the shadow of my late grandfather's illicit business.
Counterfeiting business.
He was a kind man.
Wonderful to me.
When my mother and I first saw his estate, it was amazing, he was amazing.
But I knew nothing of what he did.
You had no idea he was the world's best counterfeiter? Along with your father.
My father is a legitimate businessman.
He is one of Peru's most successful men.
He's amassed a fortune by By printing fake money and selling it all over the world.
No.
This is a picture of your father, Alfonso Marca, supervising the loading of counterfeit U.
S.
notes onto a boat bound for Mexico.
KENSI: You can help yourself by helping us, Lucila.
DEEKS: We know that the counterfeit notes are brought into the U.
S.
using coyotes.
Once these shipments reach L.
A.
, where do you store the notes? (quietly): You have to help me.
We can do that.
You just have to answer our questions.
You don't know what these people are capable of.
So then tell us why you're in Los Angeles.
Because of them.
To disappear.
To leave the family, the business, everything.
Leave it all behind.
And where were you going? Contacts were helping me with travel documents.
I was leaving for Vancouver tomorrow.
DEEKS: But not before stopping at the gym for a quick Pilates and a blowout.
The truth is that you were flying out of Santa Monica Airport back to Peru.
No.
You must believe me.
DEEKS: I'd love to.
Alas, I don't think I can, considering you have a private plane at Santa Monica Airport registered under a medical nonprofit.
I don't have anything to do with that.
Yeah, one would think so, until one talked to the pilot, which is exactly what the Secret Service did.
Turns out they had some leverage on him.
KENSI: Yeah, I guess he didn't report some of his illicit income on his tax returns and he was pretty forthcoming about why he's in L.
A.
DEEKS: He said he was here to pick somebody up.
And then take her back to Peru.
You have any idea who that might be? You got to answer quick, 'cause we're in the bonus round now.
This pilot seems like a criminal who's looking to say anything to reduce his sentence.
It'd be a shame if this criminal's word is all you have to go on.
So, Kensi and Deeks weren't making much progress with Lucila, though they may have created a hairline fracture in her story.
Uh, Sam and DeChamps have set a meeting to purchase the counterfeit Peruvian notes and LAPD got us the ink sample that Anna recovered at the clothing store.
And analysis is back.
Let me guess, it's used to make counterfeit dollars.
Not quite dollar bills.
It is a direct match to the color and consistency used to make euros.
So, they smuggle in counterfeit U.
S.
dollars.
They're manufacturing counterfeit euros and then shipping them out.
But the problem with counterfeiting euros lately has been replicating the holographic strip.
NELL: Now, if the Marcas found a way to replicate or steal the holographic strips and they have the ink, they're probably already manufacturing counterfeit euros here in L.
A.
Uh, Callen, an SUV just parked in the alley behind the clothing store.
Two men exited, not Lillard and Helmsman.
NELL: And they're leaving.
They picked up three of the Jerry cans filled with ink.
CALLEN: We got them.
SAM: You have our location, Nell? Yup.
CAT Overwatch is moving into place.
We've got eyes all over you.
Raise your arms, please.
This will be returned to you when you leave.
Cell phones, please.
Let's go.
RHEE: We're in place.
They took DeChamps' weapon and put both phones in a signal killer bag.
So, no comms, no weapons.
RHEE: But they got us.
Does it look like they'll be leaving the harbor on that yacht? Unclear, but we've secured a go-fast boat in case they're looking to head out to sea.
I'll keep you posted.
All right.
Thanks.
CALLEN: Eric, the SUV just pulled into an alley behind this old hotel.
Huh.
Place looks totally abandoned.
Well, the building is listed as closed for remodeling, but I was able to access one of the alley security cameras.
The men from the SUV just went into the hotel.
We'll go see what they're up to.
DEEKS: How does she just sit there? It's been hours.
She hasn't asked for an attorney, either.
Yeah.
It doesn't make any sense.
She talked about her past Mm.
how she grew up in Peru.
DEEKS: On her happy estate of her grandfather built by counterfeit bills.
Mm.
Obviously her past is meaningful to her.
All right, that's it.
We're calling in the meerkats.
Eric.
Uh, yeah.
I need you to look into Lucila's childhood.
Okay.
Uh, what exactly are we looking for here? She was close to her grandfather.
We know that.
So, look into the people that were working at the estate, schooling records, when she moved out, where she's been living since.
And I'm sorry we have nothing more for you, but But, this is me, and when you're dealing with the best in the business, you can't tether them.
You know, you got to, you got to let them run free like a, like a wild salmon that's-that's fighting its way upstream, past sharp rocks and-and grizzly teeth.
That was really going well for a second there and then you you kind of lost it, didn't you? - Yeah.
- Yeah, we'll let you know what we find.
Okay.
Enjoy yourselves.
Someone will be here to meet you.
I know it's not your team, but our Overwatch is solid.
I'm sure it is.
RHEE: These guys are all heavily armed.
I don't like this.
Four men were just dropped off and are approaching the yacht now.
Sending you their images.
Great, we will run them through facial rec.
Copy that.
Marca, Lillard and Helmsman aren't there.
And the guy on the right, that's Michael Silva, who DeChamps and Sam met at the condo.
A deal of this size, Marca would definitely be there.
ERIC: Unless the yacht is leaving the harbor to go and meet Marca.
Marca's men would definitely spot CAT agents following them in a boat.
And there's no way to alert Sam or get him any weapons.
We may have overplayed our hand this time.
And I answered your question.
Mm, not really.
Actually, not at all.
But I do appreciate the fact that you think that you answered my question.
You know what it is that you don't understand about counterfeit notes? No, but I bet you're gonna tell us.
Peruvian notes are artwork, nothing less.
The artists make them with plates and presses and paper and ink.
And the technique is handed down through generations.
Sounds like a lot of work.
It is.
It's time-consuming and hard, which is why Americans use laser printers.
Well, I guess technology wins then.
Mm, technology is faster, but (cell phone chimes) laser printers cannot create art.
That is why the bills made in America are so inferior to the Peruvian notes.
I got to make a call.
You know what it seems like to me? Seems like you know a lot about a business that you know nothing about.
Tell me you got something we can use.
Lucila's story does check out.
She was raised on her grandfather's estate in Peru.
She went to a private school in the area and then on to Pontificia Universidad in Lima.
When did she move to the estate? Um, she was born at the estate, and then she lived there until she moved to Lima for University.
No, no.
But she said that she remembers seeing the estate for the first time with her mom.
Yeah, that doesn't check out with the information we have.
Okay, why would she lie about that? I mean, she's a perfect kid, goes to a great university.
No arrests, no surveillance hits.
I mean, look how happy and grateful she looks in that picture with her new bike.
That's not her on the bike.
What? Yeah, Lucila is standing next to the girl on the bike.
KENSI: The girl on the bike is in every single picture.
ERIC: Uh, that's, uh, Claudia Diaz.
She's the daughter of one of the maids on the estate.
Text Deeks.
Get him out of there now.
DECHAMPS: Michael.
Twice in one day, how nice.
I hope you came here ready to make a deal, Mr.
Brighton.
- - I did.
Will you be presenting the terms of the deal or Mr.
Marca? Why this fascination with Mr.
Marca? No fascination.
Just respect.
The level of the deal is high.
I want Mr.
Marca aware of all details.
He is.
Then we can proceed.
You've become a success in a very difficult business, Mr.
Brighton.
You should you be proud.
I am proud.
But you have a hard time looking me in the eye when I talk to you.
SAM: I Well It's just Yes? I've never been good at that.
Looking people in the eye.
Why? SAM: I don't know, maybe it's just It's okay, Mr.
Brighton.
Just forget that I asked.
When you're big as a kid, you can't fight and you're big, the bullies come and they want to hurt you more maybe because you're big.
I guess that's why I'm like this.
Kids are awful.
If we do this deal for your ceiling amount, which was 35 million Peruvian, how do you plan to convert it? Now, sir, with all respect, that's my business.
Yes, it is, but if you get caught, it might affect my business.
I don't need specifics, Mr.
Brighton, just generals are fine.
I have three networks.
Each has its own separate conversion area.
Las Vegas casinos, big-box electronics stores and colleges.
Colleges? It's new but effective.
There's a high level of small amount cash transactions within college communities.
You talk like a computer, Mr.
Brighton.
- I'm sorry.
- That's okay.
You don't need to apologize.
I love it.
Can we make a deal, Michael? This place is huge.
Private.
We've probably just found the place where they're stashing the counterfeit notes that are brought in from Mexico.
Yeah, but I bet it's also where they're making their fake euros.
(man laughs, indistinct chatter) CALLEN (whispering): Try and avoid gunshots if we can.
We don't know how many others are out there.
Copy that.
(indistinct chatter) (grunts) (man laughs) (grunting) (man grunting) (gun clatters to floor) (man panting) (grunts loudly) (body tumbles down stairs) (groans quietly) No gunshots.
(handcuffs clicking) (out of breath): No gunshots.
LUCILA: I may have to call my lawyer and put an end to this before I fall asleep.
When I was a kid, uh, there was a pack of us.
These kids were like my family, you know? We did everything together.
Must have been really lonely up there on that walled-off estate.
No.
DEEKS: âHey, after school, âwhy you guys come up to my grandfather's scary criminal lair?â Probably didn't go over too well.
I had friends.
Where are you going with this? Well, like Deeks said, it was probably hard to get the kids to come up there.
I mean, it wasn't the easiest drive from town.
So you probably had, what? One good friend? One only friend? I told you that my best friend lived with me on the estate.
This isn't a revelation.
No, it's not a revelation.
(inhales sharply, then clears throat) I like that picture.
She's very pretty.
Beautiful, actually.
You could be twins.
Claudia.
She was my best friend growing up.
She was a charity case, yeah? The janitor's daughter? Not a janitor.
Her mother ran the entire house staff.
KENSI: This photo I would call a revelation.
My passport photo.
So what? After high school, Mr.
Marca told you his plan, didn't he? I don't know what you're talking about.
I'm talking about the birthmark on your neck.
You look really happy in this photo.
I bet you dreamed about that bike.
And that day, it was yours.
Wasn't it, Claudia? When did Mr.
Marca tell you to switch places with Lucila? When it became clear that she was useless.
That she'd never grasp the business in the way that Mr.
Marca had hoped.
DEEKS: So, to take the heat off himself, he created the myth of the mysterious, intelligent and very beautiful daughter taking over the family business.
KENSI: And you agreed to it because you figured it would get you on the inside.
Just maybe he'd let you run that business one day.
DEEKS: But, for the last ten years, he's only seen you as baitfish.
A lure that we bit.
How long have I been here? Three hours? Hmm? Mr.
Marca is a very cautious man.
He has systems in place.
One of those systems is that I check in with a security team every three hours.
I missed that mark.
I have never missed a check-in.
Marca's gonna assume she was picked up by law enforcement.
They're gonna know that Sam and DeChamps are undercover.
I understand.
Michael, we've been waiting a long time.
What's your price for 35 million U.
S.
dollars in Peruvian notes? Shoot her.
(shouts) Now, you look me in the eye.
MICHAEL: Once it became clear that the two of you must be cops, I needed to ensure that Mr.
Marca and his daughter were safely in the air before I dealt with you.
- We have his daughter.
- No.
You have Lucila's friend.
(screams) (DeChamps grunting) (grunts) (groans) (rap song playing) Hey! Take cover.
Take this.
(gunshots) Target down.
(groans) (exhales) Clear.
All right, stay right where you are.
Stay there.
Sorry.
Here.
Have a seat, have a seat.
(exhales) Have a seat.
(grunting) (panting) Been dreaming of the payoff (indistinct conversation) Through the struggles and the trade-offs Fighting tooth and nail on the way up Tell them the truth but they think it's just made up (indistinct conversation continues) I think they got it all wrong We just gotta hold on Federal agents! Lillard, Helmsman, drop the guns.
Raise your hands.
You do as I say, you are all walking out of here.
'Cause we're gonna be legends (shrieks) Gonna get their attention What we're doing here ain't just scary We're federal agents.
Put your hands up.
Stay still.
(music stops) Nice shot.
You, too.
I may have to make room for you on my team.
Your talents are being wasted in Tecmo Bowl.
You're cute.
Marca's aircraft made it into Peruvian airspace.
They're in the wind.
You were great, Sam.
Thank you.
Thanks.
Don't talk, just rest.
I'll be okay.
While you're recovering, don't forget to think about what we talked about.
What's important to me and what I'm good at.
I remember.
You should take off, go be with your team.
Uh, and miss my chance to ride on the big bus? You crazy? You guys gonna let me turn on the siren? (chuckles) Looks like I'm riding with you, Agent DeChamps.
After you, hero.
Let's go.
DEEKS: My brain hurts.
I think I like the days of running around, shooting bad guys more than the eight hour matinee of Single Peruvian Female.
KENSI: Hey, you two.
Wow, you guys look fantastic.
(laughs) Long day.
Yeah? Well, we were gonna head to the pier for some crab and beers, you guys want to join? That sounds divine.
Yeah? I'm in, 'cause I'm beat.
ANNA: You're beat? Did three guys throw you down a staircase? No.
You were in interrogation all day, right? Yeah.
So, no shooting, no running, no fighting.
Yeah, but I used a lot of brain power.
A lot.
His brain hurts.
It's true, my brain does hurt.
Maybe one of you guys could just massage this part? And then work your way down, to this? Hello.
Hey.
I was just, uh, resting my eyes.
Yeah.
I think we should call it a night.
Hetty's out there somewhere.
NELL: I know.
We'll find her.
(taps key) (beeps) We'll let you two catch up.
You look pretty much the same, except the glasses.
I'm sure I look different.
I don't know who you are.
Harris Keane.
Operation Sunshine.
You don't remember the helicopter crash? I remember that there were no survivors, save myself.
I survived.
But you left me to die.
I thought you were dead.
I would've been better off.
If I'd stayed, I would have been captured by the Viet Cong.
Hmm.
Like I was.
They hunted me through the jungle for six days.
They tortured me for months.
