The Comescu family wants you dead, Agent Callen.
Why?
Some sort of long running family feud as far as we can tell.
I don't have... any family... They think I do.
They probably mistake you for somebody else.
Probably.
All S1
S1 E15Unfinished Business
You're a long way from home, Agent Callen.
Heh. A couple of days ago, I would've agreed with you. Right now I'm not so sure.
How's your team?
Not my team.
Hetty's team then.
We're fine.
Agent Callen do you have a plan?
[sighs] I gave up being an agent when I turned in my badge.
You didn't turn in your badge. You mistakenly left it on Hetty's desk. I put it in her desk for safekeeping. Do you have a plan?
Yeah.
Enlighten me.
Save Hetty.
Carry on, Agent Callen.
No food or beverages in Ops.
Who says?
Doesn't seem right.
She's not here, Eric.
No, she's not.
She resigned.
Yes, she did.
She's somewhere in Eastern Europe.
Most likely.
She has zero control over what you do. What you say or what rules you choose to break. [puts a bag of cookies down]
And yet... [sips his coffee] Did you say "Oreos?"
You hear anything?
She's still recuperating - like she was last month - and the month before that.
You think something is going on? Of course. It's Hetty. Something else is going on.
Have we heard any news on Hetty's condition?
According to Nell, Hetty's still keeping an eye on things.
Big Brother is watching.
Or in Hetty's case - Little Mother.
[Everyone stares at Deeks]
What? You guys have been doing this too long. You're getting paranoid.
[From Deeks's computer] A healthy dose of paranoia can keep you alive in this business, detective.
[yells out startled and slams the computer shut] Whoa! Did you just see that?
I saw you slam Hetty's face shut.
Detective and Agents, can I have your attention? Acting Operations Manager Hunter requests your presence in the Operations Center. ASAP. Thank you. [goes back to Ops]
What the Hell was that?
That was Hunter - forbidding Eric from whistling.
I'll go in as a tutor. Deeks can go in as a dog walker or something.
Okay. Why can't I go in as a tutor and you go in as a dog walker?
It's called a mirror.
How dare you, sir! Has anyone here gone to Law School? Huh? Anyone passed the Bar Exam in the State of California? Anyone?... Anyone?
This coming from a guy who learned how to tie his shoes at... 12.
Really?
I'm from L.A... I grew up in sandals.
[Eric starts showing some video footage] Can you read what she's saying, Kens?
I ran the footage through a lip reading program.
[Offended] Excuse me? [scoffs] A computer program can't duplicate a skilled human lip reader.
Well, the software suggest she's saying something about gambling.
Gambling?
[scoffs and watches the footage] ... It's possible.
LLauren
Your hostility towards me is affecting the team.
No it's not. The team is doing just fine. Whatever hostility I have is not about them. It's about you. I can't trust anybody who witholds information about my past - my life.
LLauren
And yet you trust Hetty?
But how much do we really know about each other? We've always had Sam or Deeks act as social buffers. And I know you don't like to open up to anyone, but still...
You don't exactly open up to anyone either.
Yeah, but I'm willing to try for the good of this partnership.
Okay.
Okay.
I'm listening.
Heh. [Long pause] Just stick to the case.
It's comparing apples and oranges.
Lethal injection or firing squad.
Not really fair to either of them.
I'm just saying comparison begs to be made.
Hetty or Hunter?
Pick your poison.
Okay, that's my face you just stepped on. Please do something stupid so my partner can shoot you.
Why'd you run?
CCharles
Bomb.
[the shack explodes]
You asked me why I went off on my own to face the Comescus. I did it... because of your mother.
You knew my mom?
Sit down. I'll tell you everything I know.
Why now?
Because you're safe from the Comescus now. And because I can't hold on to these secrets any longer. Please Mr. Callen.
[Callen sits down]
Where do I begin?
What was her name?
Clara... Her name was Clara.
Eric, I need you to run a plate for me. 2, S as in Slayer, M as in Metallica, A as in Anthrax, 5-6-4, P as in uh, parsnip.
Parsnip? Your lettering system is Heavy Metal bands, and you're giving me a root vegetable for P?
I don't know, man. I drew a blank.
Pantera? Hello.
Oh. Cowboys from Hell. What was I thinking?
