NCIS: Los Angeles · Season 1
When I'm gone, I'm gone. No ceremony, no memorials, and absolutely no bringing of flowers to my grave.
Don't worry. There will be none of that.
Good.
From what I hear, Granger is going to have you stuffed in a lifelike pose for his office.
Don't be cheeky.
Thank you. Oh, that's so good. You sure you're not hungry?
Not now. What the hell is that?
Fish tacos.
What kind of fish?
The kind that swims in the ocean. Mmm.
How could you eat something without even knowing what it is? That could have been last week's bait, for all you know. Even looks like chum.
Carlos is the Iron Chef of the food trucks.
Smells good over here. What's for lunch?
Mystery fish.
Oh, Deep Sea Surprise is back?
Help yourself.
Seriously? Mm-hmm. Nice. Sharesies?
No, thank you. And don't say "sharesies."
All right. How'd you two make out?
Parents are in denial. Their son worked at L. A. County Beach and Harbor and has a girlfriend, Mary Clark, who we are on our way to go see now.
[eating a fish taco] This is delicious.
Too bad you don't know what it is.
Sure I do. It's a Lake Superior white fish. I'd say caught in a gill net. Probably two or three days ago.
[groans]
What? I'm a surfer I know my fish.
Yeah, he's kind of like a trained seal, only without the "trained" part.
Or the "SEAL" part.
Our friend Chaucer has led a big life. He's descended from a long line of award-winning poodles.
Chaucer was flown to Paris twice, to breed.
He was paid to have sex in Paris? I should have been born a dog. (Kensi stares at him) I walked into that one, didn't I?
Hmm... think I'm gonna have to go spend some time with him, alone.
Why? What's going on?
Nothing. I just got a way with animals.
Okay, when you say it like that, it sounds really creepy.
I left DC to escape politics.
Owen, you can't escape politics. You either play or get played.
(to Kensi) I once ruled Nicaragua for 72 hours. Don't ask.
(about his love for Donny and Marie) Is that so wrong? Does that make me a bad person?
Not at all. Just a little bit creepy.
Oh, good, then that doesn't change anything between us.
So, would you do it again?
Without hesitation, Owen. Two lives saved hundreds of others.
Well, Potter planted the bomb, but it was your finger on the detonator.
Not everyone can do what we do. The secrets we live with, the personal sacrifices we make. I just pray the world's a better place for them. I didn't choose this life, Owen. It chose me. All you can do is keep your head down, your gun up and your conscience clear.
Somebody is out there trying to kill her.
I know, we've got to stay cool. This is Hetty, right? She's always three steps ahead of everyone. She's tactically brilliant, ridiculously courageous, experienced, resourceful. I mean, if Mata Hari and Genghis Khan had a daughter, it'd be Hetty.
Or General Patton and Joan of Arc.
Exactly. Her kung fu is strong, and her magic is powerful. Say it.
Her kung fu is strong, and her magic is powerful.
Don't underestimate Hetty. She never underestimates us.
She blew me off.
I ignore you all the time; it never bothered you before.
Something's up.
Something's always up with Hetty.
The man who can keep a secret may be wise, but he is not half as wise as the man who has no secrets to keep.
Edgar Watson Howe. And yet it's a necessary evil in our business, I'm afraid.
I know that look.
You're starting to sound like my wife. You know what they say when your partner starts sounding like your wife?
Get a new wife?
I'm gonna pretend you didn't say that.
She might feel more comfortable with a sympathetic female.
I don't know, I'm pretty in touch with my feminine side.
Yeah, see, that's the problem. If you did have a feminine side, you'd be touching it all the time.
Wow. And yet, so true.
Well, if you must know, I've killed another house plant. That is fourteen since July.
Wait. That's it? That's the source of your sourness?
It was a cactus.
You killed something that thrives in Death Valley?
Can I ask you guys a question?
Go ahead.
Um, when do you stop being afraid of you know, busting into places, guns blazing?
When you trust your training.
That's easier said than done.
