S1 E15Unfinished Business

Black Ops, Call of Duty - I've wiped out entire platoons in an afternoon. World of Warcraft - God knows how many.

Mr. Beale?

...I don't have to bring a gun, do I? I don't think I could actually really kill someone.

Heaven forbid. I have no intention of making you carry a weapon.

[Eric sighs]

Relax, Mr. Beale. This isn't rocket science after all... Well, actually, in this case, I guess it is.

[Hetty laughs]

You'll do fine. Nell will be listening in on you at all times.

"At all times?" What if I have to use the restroom? I have a shy bladder.

Well, maybe we should have set up your relocation in Nebraska.

RRay

That's not funny. I'm the best informant you ever had.

A claim you can only make due to the fact that you're a criminal.

RRay

Retired! You're looking at the new man - upstanding citizen.

[laughs] Must've been difficult to say with a straight face.

So this is the infamous Max Gentry.

This is an alias I did not miss.

As I recall, his reputation was less than stellar.

I've known Ray since I was 10 years old. I used our friendship to keep him in the line of fire as an informant. The only reason he risked himself is because he trusted me.

And yet, he didn't tell you about his change in travel plans.

Doesn't matter. Somebody's gotta look out for him.

I was 11 years old, my dad was... one drink away from killing my mom and me.

Until you shot him in self-defense.

.38 revolver that I used - Ray's the one that gave it to me.

You know, some might say you've paid that debt. Rather than send him to jail, you took him under your wing.

Let's be honest, I turned my best friend into a snitch for $100/week. If he gets himself killed, it's on me.

Ray couldn't testify against the Southland Kings even if he wanted to. He doesn't have the intel - unless...

Nelson Sanders told them that Ray did.

Uh huh.

That's not bad.

Maybe we need to get her away from her desk more often.

I heard that Rock Star.

Thank you for letting Ray take Jenna with him.

No one should live out his life alone - including you.

What are you talking about? I got you. I'll be fine.

You know, it's been a *very* long time since I have heard you laugh, Sam. Hell, life itself can be absurd. But you have to embrace that. If you can't smile now, how can you possibly laugh in the face of death?

Hetty, why are you telling me this?

As a sailor, Sam, you know the importance of a solid anchor. You have your faith, your family, your sense of humor. Mr. Callen doesn't think he needs anyone. He does. He need* you. You're his anchor. And I sense there's a storm coming.

Hetty, you're a lot of things, but psychic isn't one of them. You want to level with me?

I just did.

[Hetty gives Kensi a gift] Oh, that is the coolest thing I've ever seen.

I figured you'd like it. Like you it's both feminine and deadly. Therein lies its true value.

You think I'm feminine and deadly?

Among many things. It's what makes you so good at this job. The true challenge is knowing when to stop.

What do you mean?

The job. The importance of what we do, the excitement of doing it. It makes it very difficult to give up. When the day comes for you to hang up your gun...

Oh?

And it will. You're going to want to come home to something more than a collection of antique weapons.

Unfortunately, most of the guys that I meet... are trying to shoot me.

Not to worry. Sometimes you find them, sometimes they find you. You just have to keep your eyes open.

Being in charge sucks, Mr. Callen. Everyone looks to you for guidance and answers - even when you have none to give.

Well, I've never known you to ever be at a loss for words.

The true test of a commander is when he is as frightened and confused as those who look up to him. In that moment, when you can't find it in yourself, you will find it in them. That's leadership.

[about Hetty] Why would she be worried about me?

You can be a worrisome guy. [chuckles] She pulled me aside - wanted to talk about it today.

Me too. But not about you. It - we had a real heart-to-heart today - about the future.

Me three. She's talking about things changing.

Guys. She's putting her affairs in order.

[as they're driving to Hetty's House] I followed her home a couple times?

"Couple of times?"

Closer to a dozen. She keeps moving. She sleeps in a different house every night.

Oh, that's great. And I get to be there when you tell her you followed her home. She's gonna be so pissed when we knock on her door.

Not as pissed as I am.

You took cover behind Hetty's jag?

What - are you insane?

Well, they were shooting. It was close.

And you think Hetty's going to be fine with that?

What'd you want us to do? Get shot?

Well, personally, I would've risked it.

[as he's about to enter his username and password] You don't have keystroke recognition software installed on this computer, do you Miss Jones?

[disables keystroke recognition software] No, sir.

I'm pleased to hear it. [enters his info] Done.

You are no longer on this case, Agent Callen.

Then give me a reason. Tell me why? What is Operation Comescu about?

It's about you, Agent Callen. Operation Comescu is all about you.
