[Kensi's captive. Deeks passes by holding a painting seemingly oblivious] Are you digging the art in this place as much as I am? I mean it's cool. It's bold. Why aren't there more cool, you know? Oh there's another one! I wannna show you this one. This is my favorite [goes off screen] It's the perfect combination of girls and guns. [returns with his weapon drawn] Let me make this perfectly clear. If you harm her, this is gonna be your last day on Earth.
MSMichael Saleh
Who are you?
[Entering from behind with weapons drawn] Federal Agents! Drop you weapon!
MSMichael Saleh
[In recognition] Agent Sam Hanna.
I mean, I know why I sent the flowers to myself, so what's your excuse?
When I saw that someone else had given you flowers, I I-I felt...um...
Competitive. I felt competitive. Competitive with you. That's a good word for it. So, I took the flower from Hetty's desk.
You took a flower from Hetty's desk.
Yeah. She cuts them herself. It's a big bunch. Hetty will never miss it.
You sacrificed yourself to compete with me.
BBates
Not easy losing partners, is it?
BBates
I wasn't always a cop, you know?
You served as an intelligence officer for the Army, conduction several interrogations during Desert Storm.
BBates
And you just lied to my face. Partners like Deeks don't just come and go. What's the story with you and him?
Well, if he ever decides to call me, I'll be sure to ask him.
Hey, Nell, whatever happened to that file I asked you for? The one on the aryan low rider that Deeks shot at the park.
Oh right, um, I'm sorry I guess I forgot.
You never forget anything, Nell.
Um, yeah. I told them this wouldn't work.
Okay, so right after you guys left Monica Lee's office, she called a pay phone located two blocks away from the LAPD Precinct. I'm seeing a dozen other incoming calls to her PDA over the past few days, all from pay phones within walking distance of the same area.
So the mole's definitely a cop or someone who works closely with them.
And he's making life way too easy for Fisk. If we don't find him, that RDX is as good as gone.
[Entering Ops] You kept me in the dark!
Please tell me you didn't waterboard Nell.
The guy Deeks killed this morning, he isn't dead. He's an undercover NCIS agent working out of D.C. , who, in fact, just landed in Dulles Airport alive and well. You stuck fake tattoos on him and made me believe that my partner shot an unarmed man. Why would you do that?
Had to be convincing for LAPD and Bates or else they never would have taken Deeks back.
The woman Deeks rescued is also one of ours.
The whole thing is a setup.
That is why you stationed me and Deeks so far away from Fisk and the Aryans. The op this morning wasn't about them. It was about your ruse. I knew something was off. I knew it!
We suspected Fisk had a mole. It was a ploy to force Bates to cut ties and take Deeks back from us.
Do you guys have any idea what I've been through today?
It was Hetty's call, Kensi.
