Lots of feels.

My God. Pinch me.

I wasn't expecting that ending.

I-It's not the end
of these characters.

That's not normal life. [laughs]

An Entertainment Tonight

37
00:01:14,975 --> 00:01:18,025
Hello and welcome, everybody,
to a bittersweet tribute.
38
00:01:18,225 --> 00:01:20,225
We just witnessed
the end of an era,
39
00:01:20,425 --> 00:01:22,955
the end of NCIS: Los Angeles.
40
00:01:23,155 --> 00:01:26,055
I'm here at the historic studios
at Paramount,
41
00:01:26,255 --> 00:01:28,265
where all the sets once stood.
42
00:01:28,465 --> 00:01:30,575
The boatshed, the team's desks,
43
00:01:30,775 --> 00:01:33,715
the Ops center, even the gym.
44
00:01:33,915 --> 00:01:36,175
It was all right here
just two months ago.
45
00:01:39,655 --> 00:01:41,745
- It was amazing. It was amazing.
- Yeah.
46
00:01:41,945 --> 00:01:44,085
We-- You know, w-we called
these stages home for 14 years.
47
00:01:44,285 --> 00:01:45,775
O'DONNELL:
I'll probably
be calling him, saying,
48
00:01:45,975 --> 00:01:46,915
"Hey, man, did that
really happen?"
49
00:01:47,115 --> 00:01:48,125
[laughs] Probably.
50
00:01:48,325 --> 00:01:49,195
What-what are you,
what are you doing?
51
00:01:49,395 --> 00:01:50,405
- You want to hang out?
- Yeah.
52
00:01:50,595 --> 00:01:52,295
RUAH:
It's a weird sensation
53
00:01:52,495 --> 00:01:55,265
because it doesn't hit you
in, like, one big slap.
54
00:01:55,465 --> 00:01:57,815
I think it'll hit me
55
00:01:58,015 --> 00:02:01,085
when we don't come back in July
to shoot another season.
56
00:02:01,285 --> 00:02:03,465
As I was driving home
was the first, like, round
57
00:02:03,665 --> 00:02:05,295
that it really hit me,
58
00:02:05,495 --> 00:02:07,775
which is like, "I'm not gonna
be driving to work
59
00:02:07,975 --> 00:02:10,365
on NCIS: Los Angelesanymore."
60
00:02:10,565 --> 00:02:13,535
And that's just
a full cornucopia of emotions.
61
00:02:13,735 --> 00:02:15,885
We made a show that made
so many people happy
62
00:02:16,085 --> 00:02:19,295
and that, uh, built up such
a following around the world.
63
00:02:19,495 --> 00:02:20,415
It was pretty amazing.
64
00:02:22,585 --> 00:02:24,295
FRAZIER:
Yep, after 14 years
65
00:02:24,495 --> 00:02:26,775
and 323 episodes,
66
00:02:26,975 --> 00:02:28,775
we're saying goodbye
to these special agents.
67
00:02:28,975 --> 00:02:31,195
But first,
let's talk about that finale.
68
00:02:31,395 --> 00:02:33,505
We got a long-awaited wedding,
69
00:02:33,705 --> 00:02:35,605
a baby on the way,
surprise guests,
70
00:02:35,805 --> 00:02:38,715
and we finally got to hear
Hetty's voice again.
71
00:02:38,915 --> 00:02:40,675
I think we all have
a lot of feelings about
72
00:02:40,875 --> 00:02:43,295
how it went down,
and so does the cast.
73
00:02:43,495 --> 00:02:46,125
I think that, uh, they did
a nice job wrapping it up.
74
00:02:46,325 --> 00:02:48,775
LL COOL J:
And I think the fans
that, you know,
75
00:02:48,975 --> 00:02:51,295
had an opportunity to be with us
from day one
76
00:02:51,495 --> 00:02:52,265
should feel really, really good
77
00:02:52,465 --> 00:02:53,465
about these characters.
78
00:02:53,665 --> 00:02:54,725
OLSEN:
I think that it's...
79
00:02:56,825 --> 00:02:59,025
...really emotionally fulfilling
for the characters
80
00:02:59,225 --> 00:03:00,535
and also, I think, for--
hopefully,
81
00:03:00,735 --> 00:03:03,155
for everybody that just,
that just watched.
82
00:03:03,355 --> 00:03:06,025
With this ring, I thee wed.
83
00:03:06,225 --> 00:03:08,715
RUAH:
The hard thing is that we took
84
00:03:08,915 --> 00:03:10,955
so many pictures that day,
85
00:03:11,155 --> 00:03:13,535
but we couldn't post them
because we couldn't let it on
86
00:03:13,735 --> 00:03:16,085
to the audience that we were
shooting a wedding scene.
87
00:03:16,285 --> 00:03:18,365
JUDGE:
I pronounce you man and wife.
88
00:03:18,565 --> 00:03:20,575
You may share
your first married kiss.

00:03:20,775 --> 00:03:22,265
- [applause]
- [whoops]
90
00:03:22,465 --> 00:03:23,915
O'DONNELL:
I wasn't expecting that ending,
91
00:03:24,115 --> 00:03:25,335
and I actually thought it was
great-- I go, "God, they--
92
00:03:25,535 --> 00:03:26,535
"this thing could end
on us, you know,
93
00:03:26,735 --> 00:03:28,535
"me getting married
and, you know,
94
00:03:28,735 --> 00:03:30,575
"saying goodbye, and that's kind
of it," and then I was like,
95
00:03:30,775 --> 00:03:31,885
"Wait a second,
they're going to Morocco."
96
00:03:32,085 --> 00:03:33,335
Thought it was very clever,
97
00:03:33,535 --> 00:03:35,845
and leaves the fans thinking,
98
00:03:36,045 --> 00:03:37,025
"So they're still doing stuff?
99
00:03:37,225 --> 00:03:39,025
What-- Do we get to see?"
You know?
100
00:03:39,225 --> 00:03:40,845
[car door closes]
101
00:03:41,045 --> 00:03:43,195
- There's nothing here.
- Well, maybe that's the point.
102
00:03:43,395 --> 00:03:44,775
The future is bright.
It leaves the future open.
103
00:03:44,975 --> 00:03:46,715
- Mm-hmm. I like that.
- They're off to new adventures.
104
00:03:46,915 --> 00:03:48,435
LL COOL J:
You never know,
there might be a-a whole movie
105
00:03:48,635 --> 00:03:50,775
for NCIS: Los Angelesone day.
106
00:03:50,975 --> 00:03:52,605
There could be many things
that could happen.
107
00:03:52,805 --> 00:03:54,535
You never know
what could happen, so...
108
00:03:54,735 --> 00:03:56,845
you know, there was no reason
for us to just, like,
109
00:03:57,045 --> 00:03:58,715
drive off a cliff,
like Thelma & Louise,
110
00:03:58,915 --> 00:04:00,245
- you know what I mean,
like, we...
- [laughs]
111
00:04:01,555 --> 00:04:03,055
FRAZIER:
Another mission was
the perfect way
112
00:04:03,255 --> 00:04:05,775
to bring Linda Hunt back
as Hetty Lange.
113
00:04:05,975 --> 00:04:07,845
Fans got to hear her voice
one last time
114
00:04:08,045 --> 00:04:10,295
in a letter
to her surrogate son.
115
00:04:10,495 --> 00:04:13,335
HETTY:
I have been blessed
with the greatest family
116
00:04:13,535 --> 00:04:16,505
one could ever have wished for,
117
00:04:16,705 --> 00:04:18,435
and so have you.
118
00:04:18,635 --> 00:04:20,295
FRAZIER:
Health concerns have kept
everyone's favorite
119
00:04:20,495 --> 00:04:22,985
operations manager off set
for the last two seasons,
120
00:04:23,185 --> 00:04:26,125
but she's never far
from this cast's heart.
121
00:04:26,325 --> 00:04:28,375
HETTY:
The one wish I have for you,
Mr. Callen...
122
00:04:29,625 --> 00:04:31,815
...is that by the time
you leave here,
123
00:04:32,015 --> 00:04:35,265
you've learned the art
of trusting others.
124
00:04:35,465 --> 00:04:37,085
OLSEN:
I-- We needed that closure.
125
00:04:37,285 --> 00:04:39,265
Like, a-as a human being,
I needed that closure.
126
00:04:39,465 --> 00:04:41,085
I'm so glad that she did it.
127
00:04:41,285 --> 00:04:42,405
And I miss her desperately.
128
00:04:42,595 --> 00:04:45,745
The body versus the mind.
129
00:04:45,945 --> 00:04:48,335
There's a fight indeed.
130
00:04:48,535 --> 00:04:50,955
RUAH:
She's incredibly funny.
Incredibly funny.
131
00:04:51,155 --> 00:04:53,675
But to be able to represent her
when we talk about her,
132
00:04:53,875 --> 00:04:55,645
to be able to give her
that final closure in the end,
133
00:04:55,845 --> 00:05:00,155
um, but also leaving
that "dot, dot, dot"
134
00:05:00,355 --> 00:05:02,155
at the end of the show
through her,
135
00:05:02,355 --> 00:05:04,575
which is so, uh, appropriate.
136
00:05:04,775 --> 00:05:06,885
- O'DONNELL: She was
such a part of the show.
- LL COOL J: Huge.
137
00:05:07,085 --> 00:05:08,575
And will always be such
a big part of the show, and...
138
00:05:08,775 --> 00:05:10,935
and she's one of a kind.
139
00:05:12,315 --> 00:05:13,645
FRAZIER:
Tonight's finale also
140
00:05:13,845 --> 00:05:14,505
brought back some old friends,
141
00:05:14,705 --> 00:05:16,885
like Erik Palladino,
142
00:05:17,085 --> 00:05:19,225
Peter Cambor
and Renée Felice Smith.
143
00:05:19,425 --> 00:05:20,845
What do you say, gentlemen?
144
00:05:21,045 --> 00:05:22,225
You ready
for your next adventure?
145
00:05:22,425 --> 00:05:23,845
I mean, how are they gonna
wrap it up without Nell?
146
00:05:24,045 --> 00:05:25,955
[laughs]
147
00:05:26,155 --> 00:05:27,535
It felt like I-I had lost
148
00:05:27,735 --> 00:05:30,225
no time in between.
149
00:05:30,425 --> 00:05:32,125
Um, we picked up
right where we left off.
150
00:05:32,325 --> 00:05:34,225
And I think they were,
151
00:05:34,425 --> 00:05:37,025
you know, excited
to have Nell back as well.
152
00:05:37,225 --> 00:05:38,465
Don't tell me
Beale's here with you.
153
00:05:38,665 --> 00:05:42,055
No. Sadly, he is giving
a TED Talk in Singapore.
154
00:05:42,255 --> 00:05:44,055
- Of course he is.
- FRAZIER: Beale didn't factor
155
00:05:44,255 --> 00:05:46,125
into the final storyline,
but for Barrett Foa,
156
00:05:46,325 --> 00:05:49,195
just like the rest of us,
saying goodbye is tough.
157
00:05:49,395 --> 00:05:51,055
FOA:
I'm really sad
that the show is over.
158
00:05:51,255 --> 00:05:52,885
I mean, it's 12 years
of my life, you know?
159
00:05:53,085 --> 00:05:55,915
14 years of-of,
of our fans' lives.
160
00:05:56,115 --> 00:05:57,295
FRAZIER:
And if this face
in the final scene
161
00:05:57,495 --> 00:05:59,405
looks familiar,
well, here's why.
162
00:05:59,595 --> 00:06:01,405
Uh, that's Chris's son Chip,
playing Will,
163
00:06:01,595 --> 00:06:02,715
which is amazing.
164
00:06:02,915 --> 00:06:04,885
I'm the new guy.
165
00:06:05,085 --> 00:06:07,575
O'DONNELL:
My son was in the last scene,
as part of the, uh,
166
00:06:07,775 --> 00:06:09,885
the new team,
which was kind of fun.
167
00:06:10,085 --> 00:06:11,265
We got a kick out of him.
168
00:06:11,465 --> 00:06:13,125
Over the course of the show,
169
00:06:13,325 --> 00:06:15,575
all of my kids had been
on the show, and my wife.
170
00:06:15,775 --> 00:06:18,535
My oldest son had not been on
for various reasons,
171
00:06:18,735 --> 00:06:20,085
and then-- partly during COVID--
172
00:06:20,285 --> 00:06:21,645
and so at the end,
I said, "Oh, my God,
173
00:06:21,845 --> 00:06:23,295
we should have,
we should have done something."
174
00:06:23,495 --> 00:06:24,955
So, it was kind of fun.
175
00:06:25,155 --> 00:06:25,745
SMITH:
It was really sweet to have
176
00:06:25,945 --> 00:06:26,815
that moment, I think.
177
00:06:27,015 --> 00:06:28,575
And I, and I saw Chris
178
00:06:28,775 --> 00:06:30,465
really absorbing
sort of the gravity
179
00:06:30,665 --> 00:06:31,825
of that moment, too.
180
00:06:36,065 --> 00:06:37,535
RUAH:
I was like, do you think
the audience is not gonna notie
181
00:06:37,735 --> 00:06:39,085
that he is
a straight photocopy of Chris?
182
00:06:39,285 --> 00:06:40,295
Do you think people are not
183
00:06:40,495 --> 00:06:42,815
gonna see that that's his son?
184
00:06:43,015 --> 00:06:44,225
And I was just like,
"My goodness, Chris,
185
00:06:44,425 --> 00:06:47,085
you make good-looking children."
[laughs]
186
00:06:47,285 --> 00:06:49,645
FRAZIER: Yeah. This cast has
always been about family.
187
00:06:49,845 --> 00:06:51,605
It even resonates
in the storylines.
188
00:06:51,805 --> 00:06:53,265
We're having a baby.
189
00:06:53,465 --> 00:06:55,005
We're having a baby?
190
00:06:56,865 --> 00:06:59,365
RUAH:
I think Kensi and Deeks
191
00:06:59,565 --> 00:07:00,675
deserved this ending.
192
00:07:00,875 --> 00:07:02,125
I had hoped for this,
to be honest.
193
00:07:02,325 --> 00:07:03,605
I had, like, been putting it
out in the universe
194
00:07:03,805 --> 00:07:05,195
and making little jokes
here and there with our writers
195
00:07:05,395 --> 00:07:06,955
and being like,
"Wouldn't it be great if Kensi
196
00:07:07,155 --> 00:07:08,825
got pregnant
in the last episode?"
197
00:07:10,315 --> 00:07:11,645
OLSEN:
I think it's the only ending
to that story.
198
00:07:11,845 --> 00:07:13,535
I think it's the best ending
to that story.
199
00:07:13,735 --> 00:07:14,885
The end of Deeks's arc,
200
00:07:15,085 --> 00:07:17,885
finding love and-and a wife
201
00:07:18,085 --> 00:07:20,295
and-and potentially
two kids, like,
202
00:07:20,495 --> 00:07:22,535
you can't ask for a better
ending for that character.
203
00:07:22,735 --> 00:07:23,955
FRAZIER:
The two-part series finale
204
00:07:24,155 --> 00:07:26,465
was actually shot
11 weeks ago.
205
00:07:26,665 --> 00:07:28,265
Production schedules
varied for everyone,
206
00:07:28,465 --> 00:07:30,955
which means the cast didn't hae
their final scenes together.
207
00:07:31,155 --> 00:07:32,775
RUAH: So I was out on a Friday
and our show wrapped
208
00:07:32,975 --> 00:07:33,985
on a Wednesday,
so I made a point
209
00:07:34,185 --> 00:07:36,435
of going to work
those last three days.
210
00:07:36,635 --> 00:07:38,505
I went every day to make sure
that I got to hug everybody
211
00:07:38,705 --> 00:07:40,435
on their last day.
212
00:07:40,635 --> 00:07:42,435
Anna, you look stunning.
213
00:07:42,635 --> 00:07:44,985
So do you. You're glowing.
214
00:07:45,185 --> 00:07:48,025
RUAH:
The very last moment we shot
was when Anna says,
215
00:07:48,225 --> 00:07:49,885
"Kensi, you look so lovely.
You're glowing."
216
00:07:50,085 --> 00:07:51,535
And I say,
"No, you look amazing."
217
00:07:51,735 --> 00:07:54,535
It's nice to have sort of, like,
that female mutual empowerment
218
00:07:54,735 --> 00:07:57,845
as my very last line
of the show. [laughs]
219
00:07:58,045 --> 00:08:01,055
OLSEN:
My last scene was with Rosa
right after the wedding.
220
00:08:01,255 --> 00:08:02,675
Or I say, "Did you hear that?"
and she goes, "I did,
221
00:08:02,875 --> 00:08:04,885
I think they're cute,"
and I was like, "What?"
222
00:08:05,085 --> 00:08:06,025
What?
223
00:08:06,225 --> 00:08:08,025
You want that
to be your grandpa?
224
00:08:08,225 --> 00:08:09,335
OLSEN:
That was the last scene I shot
225
00:08:09,535 --> 00:08:11,265
of NCIS: Los Angeles.
226
00:08:11,465 --> 00:08:12,575
RAHIMI:
I remember shooting
the last scene very well.
227
00:08:12,775 --> 00:08:16,195
It was me, Caleb and, um, Gerald
228
00:08:16,395 --> 00:08:18,025
in Ops.
229
00:08:18,225 --> 00:08:19,605
There were lots of tears
on the last day
230
00:08:19,805 --> 00:08:21,845
from-from everybody.
231
00:08:22,045 --> 00:08:24,195
CASTILLE:
You know what was interesting,
I-I didn't cry.
232
00:08:24,395 --> 00:08:27,405
Uh, a lot of our crew,
uh, absolutely did.
233
00:08:27,595 --> 00:08:30,955
Medalion, sure,
but, um, I didn't.
234
00:08:31,155 --> 00:08:33,085
I was just very proud
of everyone,
235
00:08:33,285 --> 00:08:36,225
and the job
that we had accomplished.
236
00:08:36,425 --> 00:08:40,445
Mine was, uh, it was just me
working with a screen.
237
00:08:41,725 --> 00:08:43,405
Sir, Commander Collins
238
00:08:43,595 --> 00:08:46,195
with Navy Munitions Command Pac
is online now.
239
00:08:46,395 --> 00:08:47,775
Got it. Put her through.
240
00:08:47,975 --> 00:08:49,885
McRANEY: You know,
immediately after that scene
241
00:08:50,085 --> 00:08:52,055
was done,
242
00:08:52,255 --> 00:08:56,775
the, uh, first AD called
a wrap on the episode,
243
00:08:56,975 --> 00:08:58,575
a wrap on the season,
244
00:08:58,775 --> 00:09:01,435
a wrap on NCIS: Los Angeles,
245
00:09:01,635 --> 00:09:04,605
and that was that.
246
00:09:04,805 --> 00:09:07,745
FRAZIER:
We were on set with Chris
and Todd for their last day,
247
00:09:07,945 --> 00:09:10,405
and as you'd expect,
it was emotional.
248
00:09:10,595 --> 00:09:14,055
ASSISTANT DIRECTOR:
Uh, guys, um, that is
a thank you, good night.
249
00:09:14,255 --> 00:09:16,265
Done in episode, done in season
250
00:09:16,465 --> 00:09:18,465
and done in show to Chris.

252
00:09:21,635 --> 00:09:23,815
O'DONNELL:
You kind of know it's coming,
and then all of a sudden,
253
00:09:24,015 --> 00:09:25,985
like, you know, then you know
they're gonna say,
254
00:09:26,185 --> 00:09:29,055
"Oh, this is the last scene
for, you know, Chris
255
00:09:29,255 --> 00:09:31,085
on the set," and it--
You're just like...
256
00:09:31,285 --> 00:09:33,505
- Mm-hmm.
- "Wow," it's just, you get
overcome with emotions.
257
00:09:33,705 --> 00:09:34,915
Thank you, everybody.
258
00:09:35,115 --> 00:09:36,275
[choked up]:
That's amazing...
259
00:09:37,515 --> 00:09:39,265
...to say the least.
260
00:09:39,465 --> 00:09:41,575
And it was because of
all you guys.
261
00:09:41,775 --> 00:09:43,745
It's so hard to get
these things to work.
262
00:09:43,945 --> 00:09:47,465
And this was beyond anything
I could have imagined.
263
00:09:47,665 --> 00:09:50,915
So thank you, everybody.
You've worked really hard.
264
00:09:51,115 --> 00:09:53,675
And, uh, I hope everybody
finds another run like this
265
00:09:53,875 --> 00:09:55,915
'cause they don't come up
very often.
266
00:09:56,115 --> 00:09:58,435
And take care, everybody.

LL COOL J:
We did something great.
I mean, you know,
269
00:10:03,975 --> 00:10:06,815
we're the 14th longest-running
show in history
270
00:10:07,015 --> 00:10:08,125
and we're, you know,
271
00:10:08,325 --> 00:10:09,745
number five, I think, on--
for CBS.
272
00:10:09,945 --> 00:10:12,405
I mean, this was
a-a huge accomplishment...
273
00:10:12,595 --> 00:10:14,775
- Mm-hmm.
- ...and I want the crew
to be proud of that.
274
00:10:14,975 --> 00:10:17,335
Never feel like you don't
have access to me in that,
275
00:10:17,535 --> 00:10:19,745
now, if you see me on TV,
I'm no longer your friend,
276
00:10:19,945 --> 00:10:21,815
or now if you see me on TV,
277
00:10:22,015 --> 00:10:23,745
you can no longer
reach out to me.
278
00:10:23,945 --> 00:10:25,125
You can.
You know what I'm saying?
279
00:10:25,325 --> 00:10:27,775
We have a relationship.
That doesn't change.
280
00:10:27,975 --> 00:10:29,985
So I love you, I appreciate you.
281
00:10:30,185 --> 00:10:31,405
- Thank you.
- [cheering, applause]
282
00:10:31,595 --> 00:10:34,155
I realize now
that a lot of these things,
283
00:10:34,355 --> 00:10:35,405
how important they are.
284
00:10:35,595 --> 00:10:36,985
And there's more to this
than just
285
00:10:37,185 --> 00:10:39,055
money and jobs
and mortgages and people.
286
00:10:39,255 --> 00:10:41,435
Yes, that's all important,
I know people want to take care
287
00:10:41,635 --> 00:10:43,505
of their families, but you also
have to take a moment
288
00:10:43,705 --> 00:10:46,575
and just remember that
you really did something major.
289
00:10:46,775 --> 00:10:47,985
- -And-and that means something.
- O'DONNELL: Yeah,
and it was nice
290
00:10:48,185 --> 00:10:50,125
that you singled out how
everyone contributed, you know?
291
00:10:50,325 --> 00:10:51,605
- LL COOL J: Yeah.
- 'Cause there's a lot
of people that,
292
00:10:51,805 --> 00:10:53,225
if you're in front
of the camera,
293
00:10:53,425 --> 00:10:54,955
if you're in the vicinity
of the camera, you...
294
00:10:55,155 --> 00:10:56,335
you know, everyone knows
who you are and sees you,
295
00:10:56,535 --> 00:10:58,055
but there's
so many people that...
296
00:10:58,255 --> 00:10:59,915
work just as hard
that nobody really knows,
297
00:11:00,115 --> 00:11:02,155
and they're kind of in the
background doing stuff, so...
298
00:11:02,355 --> 00:11:04,005
It's a r-- It-it is absolutely
a team effort.

that part of my life to the set.

it was the right decision.

00:24:41,015 --> 00:24:43,225
Literally, this job is how
I learned how to get around L.A.
675
00:24:43,425 --> 00:24:46,265
L.A. is another character
on this show,
676
00:24:46,465 --> 00:24:48,265
so we got to show her love.
677
00:24:48,465 --> 00:24:49,055
If you're gonna get shot at,
you might as well
678
00:24:49,255 --> 00:24:50,035
do it in the sunshine.
679
00:24:54,175 --> 00:24:55,505
Being all over L.A.,
I mean, we w...
680
00:24:55,705 --> 00:24:56,985
we went to every part of L.A.
681
00:24:57,185 --> 00:24:59,225
I've been in alleyways.
I know restaurants.
682
00:24:59,425 --> 00:25:01,405
- Water treatment plants.
- You know,
water treatment plants.
683
00:25:01,595 --> 00:25:03,985
I know it all.
I know all the spots.
684
00:25:04,185 --> 00:25:05,465
- All the good spots.
- But it was great. To shoot
685
00:25:05,665 --> 00:25:07,845
at all the iconic locations
was pretty amazing.
686
00:25:08,045 --> 00:25:09,645
That's got to be near
the L.A. Forum.
687
00:25:09,845 --> 00:25:10,985
That is the Forum.
688
00:25:11,185 --> 00:25:12,955
Boom. Didn't even need MapQuest.
689
00:25:13,155 --> 00:25:14,885
I mean, I remember seeing Linda
690
00:25:15,085 --> 00:25:17,675
having this amazing scene
in the Hollywood Bowl.
691
00:25:17,875 --> 00:25:18,955
I was like, how did we get tha?
692
00:25:19,155 --> 00:25:19,985
Bob's Marionette Theater?

694
00:25:22,255 --> 00:25:23,505
♪ Another show...♪
695
00:25:23,705 --> 00:25:26,505
We've shot in Long Beach
where it was LL's birthday,
696
00:25:26,705 --> 00:25:28,715
and we were shooting
at a fish market,
697
00:25:28,915 --> 00:25:30,365
and these sea lions
would come up
698
00:25:30,565 --> 00:25:32,155
and they'd be like...
[imitates barking]
699
00:25:32,355 --> 00:25:34,125
And so for, uh, LL's birthday,
700
00:25:34,325 --> 00:25:37,505
he was taking the fish
and chucking it to the sea lios
701
00:25:37,705 --> 00:25:39,195
in the middle of Long Beach.
702
00:25:39,395 --> 00:25:42,295
He and I were laughing so hard,
like two eight-year-olds
703
00:25:42,495 --> 00:25:44,745
just so excited to feed fish
to sea lions.
704
00:25:44,945 --> 00:25:45,935
That was a great day.
705
00:25:47,585 --> 00:25:49,885
Got hit by a car today.
That was a lot of fun.
706
00:25:50,085 --> 00:25:51,885
FRAZIER:
We're throwing it back
to when the cast made
707
00:25:52,085 --> 00:25:53,365
their prime time debut.
708
00:25:53,565 --> 00:25:55,575
We were lucky
we jumped in to NCIS'sshow.
709
00:25:55,775 --> 00:25:58,745
I'm definitely hoping that
the spin-off, uh, goes ahead.
710
00:25:58,945 --> 00:26:02,605
FRAZIER:
Plus, the real story behind
Dani and Dave's romance.

I looked down, I was like,
"Wow, that guy's attractive."

and, uh, representing,
and then, uh,
728

who knows, maybe you pop over
to our show every now and then.

00:26:59,595 --> 00:27:00,625
Hmm.

FRAZIER:
Oh, yeah, you see,
that's some love right there
731
00:27:04,155 --> 00:27:05,715
from theNCIS flagship.
732
00:27:05,915 --> 00:27:07,955
You know,NCIS: L.A. was
the first of three spin-offs
733
00:27:08,155 --> 00:27:11,535
from the show,
making its debut back in 2009.
734
00:27:11,735 --> 00:27:14,265
But get this: the O.G.,
starring Mark Harmon,
735
00:27:14,465 --> 00:27:15,465
actually branched off
736
00:27:15,665 --> 00:27:18,605
from the hit seriesJAG
in 2003.
737
00:27:18,805 --> 00:27:22,645
Now, we first met Callen,
Sam, Kensi and Beale
738
00:27:22,845 --> 00:27:25,195
in a two-partNCIS episode
that served
739
00:27:25,395 --> 00:27:27,155
as a backdoor pilot for L.A.
740
00:27:27,355 --> 00:27:30,985
So what was it like on set
for that very first scene?
741
00:27:31,185 --> 00:27:32,955
- ASSISTANT DIRECTOR: A mark!
- DIRECTOR: Action!
742
00:27:33,155 --> 00:27:34,825
[tires screech]
743
00:27:37,275 --> 00:27:40,445
Yes, I got hit by a car today.
That was a lot of fun.
744
00:27:45,065 --> 00:27:48,775
It's my first, uh, I s--
yeah, big American job,
745
00:27:48,975 --> 00:27:51,125
so, uh, I'm pretty excited.
746
00:27:51,325 --> 00:27:53,715
- Are you trying
to get under my skin?
- Is it working?
747
00:27:53,915 --> 00:27:56,505
O'DONNELL:
I'm at the table read onNCIS,
748
00:27:56,705 --> 00:27:58,295
and, uh, I remember
we walked in that room,
749
00:27:58,495 --> 00:28:00,405
and I'm just meeting everybody.
750
00:28:00,595 --> 00:28:02,085
I'm like,
"I remember watching him
751
00:28:02,285 --> 00:28:03,675

- Yeah.

O'DONNELL:
You got my man here, and...
755
00:28:08,915 --> 00:28:10,055
and, uh, and then,
the cast came in
756
00:28:10,255 --> 00:28:12,435
from the original show,
and they were like a family.
757
00:28:12,635 --> 00:28:14,435
We're like--
I'm looking around, going, uh,
758
00:28:14,635 --> 00:28:16,915
"Is this group gonna be close
like that group?"
759
00:28:17,115 --> 00:28:18,435
- And you just don't know.
- Oh, wow.
760
00:28:18,635 --> 00:28:20,535
O'DONNELL:
If you look back, the journey
761
00:28:20,735 --> 00:28:23,025
and the friendships
and the bonds, it's incredible.
762
00:28:23,225 --> 00:28:24,365
And we absolutely do
have that relationship
763
00:28:24,565 --> 00:28:27,225
that we saw the other cast had.
764
00:28:27,425 --> 00:28:29,535
FRAZIER:
And just like the original,
765
00:28:29,735 --> 00:28:31,405
NCIS: L.A. has been
at the forefront
766
00:28:31,595 --> 00:28:33,085
of telling stories that matter.
767
00:28:33,285 --> 00:28:34,335
O'DONNELL: What Sam went throuh
with his wife dying,
768
00:28:34,535 --> 00:28:36,195
and stuff like that.
769
00:28:36,395 --> 00:28:39,195
And-and my character
was searching for his parents
770
00:28:39,395 --> 00:28:40,775
and-and their relationships
with Hetty.
771
00:28:40,975 --> 00:28:42,435
And there-there are
certain episodes
772
00:28:42,635 --> 00:28:44,335
where it's-it's action and fun,
773
00:28:44,535 --> 00:28:45,715
and then there's some where
you're kind of digging deep.
774
00:28:45,915 --> 00:28:47,745
FRAZIER: Honoring the military
is another mission
775
00:28:47,945 --> 00:28:50,155
that's highly personal
to this team.
776
00:28:50,355 --> 00:28:51,575
LL COOL J:
My-my grandfather
was in the Army,
777
00:28:51,775 --> 00:28:53,775
um, my dad was in the Navy.
778
00:28:53,975 --> 00:28:55,025
So I believe in this country,
779
00:28:55,225 --> 00:28:56,845
I believe in what
the military does
780
00:28:57,045 --> 00:28:58,535
and I believe
in supporting the troops.
781
00:28:58,735 --> 00:29:01,085
And, uh, as-- My character's
a former Navy SEAL,
782
00:29:01,285 --> 00:29:03,775
so it-it just,
it's a lot of fun to-to...
783
00:29:03,975 --> 00:29:06,225
- to be able to represent!
- [cheering]
784
00:29:06,425 --> 00:29:07,675
I think you got to celebrate
the people
785
00:29:07,875 --> 00:29:09,405
that put their lives
on the line.
786
00:29:09,595 --> 00:29:11,575
You know, I-I do believe,
as, uh, as somebody
787
00:29:11,775 --> 00:29:12,845
that has a brother-in-law
788
00:29:13,045 --> 00:29:15,335
that's done seven tours
as an E.O.D.
789
00:29:15,535 --> 00:29:17,405
and a brother
that is a former Navy SEAL,
790
00:29:17,595 --> 00:29:19,465
that you got to celebrate
the people
791
00:29:19,665 --> 00:29:21,435
that are willing to go out thee
and put their lives
792
00:29:21,635 --> 00:29:24,675
on the line every single day
to-to give us this opportunity.
793
00:29:24,875 --> 00:29:26,435
McRANEY:
They have touched on some
794
00:29:26,635 --> 00:29:30,335
controversial subjects
from time to time.
795
00:29:30,535 --> 00:29:32,845
But their overall emphasis
is on entertainment.
796
00:29:33,045 --> 00:29:35,085
They never preached.
797
00:29:35,285 --> 00:29:36,815
They would take a point of vie,
but they didn't preach.
798
00:29:37,015 --> 00:29:38,225
They entertained with it.
799
00:29:38,425 --> 00:29:39,955
FRAZIER: Entertaining
with a message
800
00:29:40,155 --> 00:29:42,955
is what madeNCIS: L.A.
so compelling.
801
00:29:43,155 --> 00:29:45,985
Consider this: it's one
of the first American TV shows
802
00:29:46,185 --> 00:29:48,745
to feature a series regular
wearing a hijab.
803
00:29:48,945 --> 00:29:50,955
Special Agent Fatima Namazi.
804
00:29:51,155 --> 00:29:51,955
RAHIMI:
It was always a character
with a hijab.
805
00:29:52,155 --> 00:29:53,845
That was always the plan.
806
00:29:54,045 --> 00:29:56,265
Went into the audition
with a headscarf on.
807
00:29:56,465 --> 00:29:58,295
Um, yeah, I think that
they-they really wanted
808
00:29:58,495 --> 00:30:00,295
to represent that, um,
809
00:30:00,495 --> 00:30:03,745
so they wanted to find someone
who-who emulated that.
810
00:30:03,945 --> 00:30:06,125
We've made a point of sort of
811
00:30:06,325 --> 00:30:07,955
shining a light
on certain issues,
812
00:30:08,155 --> 00:30:09,405
whether it was
Asian American hate,
813
00:30:09,595 --> 00:30:13,335
whether it was
LGBTQ in the military,
814
00:30:13,535 --> 00:30:15,465
whether it was police brutality
against African Americans.
815
00:30:15,665 --> 00:30:16,955
- Out of the car.
- Hey, w-whoa!
816
00:30:17,155 --> 00:30:18,955
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa.
817
00:30:19,155 --> 00:30:21,295
It was very, very important
for me to tackle that
818
00:30:21,495 --> 00:30:23,405
and tell that story
in a way that also
819
00:30:23,595 --> 00:30:25,815
reflected, like, my life.
820
00:30:26,015 --> 00:30:28,055
Super important for me
as a young Black male.
821
00:30:28,255 --> 00:30:29,915
Unless Rountree murdered
somebody this morning,
822
00:30:30,115 --> 00:30:31,955
there's no explanation for this.
823
00:30:32,155 --> 00:30:34,775
FRAZIER: And then there are
the fierce women ofNCIS: L.A.,
824
00:30:34,975 --> 00:30:36,775
giving us strong, independent
825
00:30:36,975 --> 00:30:38,955
and empowered role models
for generations to come.
826
00:30:39,155 --> 00:30:40,755
Out of the car.
827
00:30:42,555 --> 00:30:43,555
[over radio]:
Weapon.
828
00:30:45,795 --> 00:30:47,505
RUAH:
I presumed,
829
00:30:47,705 --> 00:30:49,985
in my 24 years of age,
830
00:30:50,185 --> 00:30:51,985
that if I'm going to be strong
and intelligent
831
00:30:52,185 --> 00:30:54,125
and a go-getter
and all this stuff,
832
00:30:54,325 --> 00:30:56,055
that I had to perform,
like, kind of stiff
833
00:30:56,255 --> 00:30:58,155
and very poised
834
00:30:58,355 --> 00:31:00,715
and-and once I fell into
being more at ease
835
00:31:00,915 --> 00:31:02,535
with the character and knowing
that I could be strong
836
00:31:02,735 --> 00:31:06,885
and tough and capable and smar,
837
00:31:07,085 --> 00:31:09,295
but also a goofball,
it kind of changed everything.
838
00:31:09,495 --> 00:31:10,845
And that was
the empowering thing.
839
00:31:11,045 --> 00:31:13,365
To be an example
for other young women...
840
00:31:13,565 --> 00:31:15,815
Actually, I have a great story.
841
00:31:16,015 --> 00:31:17,575
I went home to New York
for the summer,
842
00:31:17,775 --> 00:31:19,225
and this person, she said,
843
00:31:19,425 --> 00:31:22,125
"I just want to tell you
that Nell Jones
844
00:31:22,325 --> 00:31:24,985
"makes all that tech stuff
look cool.
845
00:31:25,185 --> 00:31:27,845
"And my daughter sees that,
and she sees you,
846
00:31:28,045 --> 00:31:30,645
and you've helped her
see herself."
847
00:31:30,845 --> 00:31:32,365
OLSEN:
It is the difference
of entertainment
848
00:31:32,565 --> 00:31:33,815
from when I was a kid, like,
849
00:31:34,015 --> 00:31:35,985
what an '80s hero looks like
versus now.
850
00:31:36,185 --> 00:31:38,025
Like, the fact
that my two daughters,
851
00:31:38,225 --> 00:31:39,915
when they get to watch
their aunt,
852
00:31:40,115 --> 00:31:42,365
like, as the toughest person
in the room,
853
00:31:42,565 --> 00:31:46,055
I think it's, whether
it's conscious or subconscious,
854
00:31:46,255 --> 00:31:47,645
I think
it's an absolute necessity
855
00:31:47,845 --> 00:31:50,755
for-for us to have, you know...
856
00:31:52,065 --> 00:31:54,195
...those-those heroes.
857
00:31:54,395 --> 00:31:56,465
FRAZIER:
Coming up in our
Salute to NCIS: L.A.,
858
00:31:56,665 --> 00:31:59,055
the family behind the scenes.
859
00:31:59,255 --> 00:32:02,055
McRANEY:
She's married to her
on-screen husband's brother.
860
00:32:02,255 --> 00:32:03,035
So, it's...
861
00:32:04,415 --> 00:32:06,645
FRAZIER:
And remembering a fallen legen.
862
00:32:06,845 --> 00:32:07,825
Miguel was special, man.
863
00:32:10,005 --> 00:32:12,935
Even in his last weeks of life,
he never missed a table read.
864
00:32:18,105 --> 00:32:19,725
♪
865
00:32:23,795 --> 00:32:26,155
That guy there--
the really cute one--
866
00:32:26,355 --> 00:32:28,155
so you think it's Deeks?
It's not Deeks.
867
00:32:28,355 --> 00:32:29,675
That's my husband.
868
00:32:29,875 --> 00:32:31,405
RUAH [with British accent]:
Right in the back there.
869
00:32:31,595 --> 00:32:33,055
They're interacting
in a very interesting way.
870
00:32:33,255 --> 00:32:37,755
Perhaps we can get closer
and observe them... in the wild.
871
00:32:38,935 --> 00:32:41,605
That's my husband right there!
872
00:32:41,805 --> 00:32:46,225
McRANEY:
She's married to her
on-screen husband's brother.
873
00:32:46,425 --> 00:32:48,465
So, it's...
874
00:32:48,665 --> 00:32:50,085
a strange family dynamic.
875
00:32:50,285 --> 00:32:51,675
You are so not my type.
876
00:32:51,875 --> 00:32:53,645
RAHIMI:
Oh, boy.
877
00:32:53,845 --> 00:32:55,435
Talk about family drama.
No, I'm just kidding.
878
00:32:55,635 --> 00:32:57,405
[laughs]
They're so great.
879
00:32:57,595 --> 00:32:58,915
[laughs]
880
00:32:59,115 --> 00:33:00,025
CASTILLE:
I'm like, "You guys are
881
00:33:00,225 --> 00:33:01,535
like brother and sister."
882
00:33:01,735 --> 00:33:03,225
Like, the conversations, the...
883
00:33:03,425 --> 00:33:04,815
you know, the little bickering
back and forth.
884
00:33:05,015 --> 00:33:07,575
God. Now they're gonna air this.
885
00:33:07,775 --> 00:33:09,795
This is the worst part
about your bad decisions.
886
00:33:10,935 --> 00:33:11,985
How does it...?
887
00:33:12,185 --> 00:33:13,955
God, no.
888
00:33:14,155 --> 00:33:15,335
- Yes.
- Do you know
how much time we spend...?
889
00:33:15,535 --> 00:33:17,055
- We do, actually, don't we?
- Yes.
890
00:33:17,255 --> 00:33:18,575
- [beeps]
- [both making retching sound]
891
00:33:18,775 --> 00:33:20,505
- [beep]
- Now. Bam. Done. Cut.
892
00:33:20,705 --> 00:33:22,005
- [laughter]
- You got it. It was great.
893
00:33:23,625 --> 00:33:25,405
RUAH:
Eric joined us, uh,
end of season one,
894
00:33:25,595 --> 00:33:27,295
and he said,
"You need to meet my brother."
895
00:33:27,495 --> 00:33:30,575
And then I met Eric's now-wife-
at the time, girlfriend-- Sara.
896
00:33:30,775 --> 00:33:31,885
And she was like,
"You need to meet Dave.
897
00:33:32,085 --> 00:33:33,505
You need to meet Dave."
898
00:33:33,705 --> 00:33:35,845
Eric and Sarah invited me
to go to a friend's house.
899
00:33:36,045 --> 00:33:38,365
Dave was there, and he...
900
00:33:38,565 --> 00:33:40,155
They were playing, uh,
901
00:33:40,355 --> 00:33:41,715
touch football
or something like that.
902
00:33:41,915 --> 00:33:43,125
And the ball came flying
in my direction,
903
00:33:43,325 --> 00:33:44,645
and he kind of, like,
flew and caught the ball
904
00:33:44,845 --> 00:33:46,125
and fell at my feet.
905
00:33:46,325 --> 00:33:47,715
And I looked down,
and I said, "What's up?"
906
00:33:47,915 --> 00:33:49,745
And I didn't know that was
Eric's brother at the time.
907
00:33:49,945 --> 00:33:52,465
I looked down, and I was like,
"Wow, that guy's attractive."
908
00:33:52,665 --> 00:33:54,745
Turns out it was Dave, turns
out the attraction was mutual,
909
00:33:54,945 --> 00:33:57,645
and turns out we got married
and had two kids.
910
00:33:57,845 --> 00:34:00,745
[laughing]:
The rest is history.
911
00:34:00,945 --> 00:34:03,915
FRAZIER:
In 2013, Dave and Dani
had their first son, River,
912
00:34:04,115 --> 00:34:07,815
just four months after Eric and
Sarah welcomed his cousin Wyat.
913
00:34:08,015 --> 00:34:11,295
Then, in 2016,
both women gave birth to girls
914
00:34:11,495 --> 00:34:13,225
just three weeks apart.
915
00:34:13,425 --> 00:34:15,055
- Eric definitely got
the brunt of it.
- Comes home,
916
00:34:15,255 --> 00:34:17,535
and he's like, "Man, phew,
Dani today." And I'm like,
917
00:34:17,735 --> 00:34:18,915
"What are you talking about?
What do you mean?"
918
00:34:19,115 --> 00:34:20,605
- [laughing] Just like...
- [laughing]
919
00:34:20,805 --> 00:34:22,085
RUAH:
I remember the first time
920
00:34:22,285 --> 00:34:23,515
the cast ever went out
to dinner together.
921
00:34:24,755 --> 00:34:26,195
And it was season one,
so at the time,
922
00:34:26,395 --> 00:34:28,295
I was like, "Oh, my God,
I'm having dinner
923
00:34:28,495 --> 00:34:31,405
with Chris O'Donnell
and LL Cool J. Oh, my God."
924
00:34:31,595 --> 00:34:33,025
And now I'm just like,
"Yeah, what's up, bro?"
925
00:34:33,225 --> 00:34:35,575
They're my brothers. [laughs]
926
00:34:35,775 --> 00:34:37,225
I love them so much.
927
00:34:37,425 --> 00:34:38,955
LL COOL J:
I think when you work
928
00:34:39,155 --> 00:34:41,955
this closely with people for
so long, we have a real rapport
929
00:34:42,155 --> 00:34:44,085
and a real relationship
with them.
930
00:34:44,285 --> 00:34:45,715
We're going to always know each
other and always be friends.
931
00:34:45,915 --> 00:34:47,585
I mean, it's just,
this is what it is.
932
00:34:48,895 --> 00:34:51,915
CASTILLE:
The relationships
that you see on camera,
933
00:34:52,115 --> 00:34:54,535
the chemistry that you see
there, is-is due to the fact
934
00:34:54,735 --> 00:34:57,025
that we all have great
relationships outside of work.
935
00:34:57,225 --> 00:34:57,955
RAHIMI:
It is like a family.
936
00:34:58,155 --> 00:34:59,465
That's what was so beautiful
937
00:34:59,665 --> 00:35:00,985
about the show,
is it really was a family.
938
00:35:01,185 --> 00:35:03,365
FRAZIER:
And just like any family,
939
00:35:03,565 --> 00:35:06,085
the cast faced
some heartbreaking losses.
940
00:35:06,285 --> 00:35:08,955
In January 2017,
their beloved costar,
941
00:35:09,155 --> 00:35:12,885
Miguel Ferrer, passed away
after battling throat cancer.
942
00:35:13,085 --> 00:35:16,335
His final episode as NCIS
Assistant Director Owen Granger
943
00:35:16,535 --> 00:35:18,955
aired February 19, 2017.
944
00:35:19,155 --> 00:35:21,535
His loss is still felt.
945
00:35:21,735 --> 00:35:23,505
Yeah, it's tough.
Miguel was tough.
946
00:35:23,705 --> 00:35:26,555
You can watch his last
couple episodes. He was...
947
00:35:29,795 --> 00:35:31,885
He was really struggling.
948
00:35:32,085 --> 00:35:33,365
RUAH:
And the fact that
949
00:35:33,565 --> 00:35:35,485
even though he was...
950
00:35:40,065 --> 00:35:41,815
Even in his last weeks of life,
951
00:35:42,015 --> 00:35:44,195
he never missed a table read.
He came
952
00:35:44,395 --> 00:35:46,125
to every table read.
953
00:35:46,325 --> 00:35:47,505
OLSEN:
I just assumed that
954
00:35:47,705 --> 00:35:49,675
he was going to get better
like he did the time before.
955
00:35:49,875 --> 00:35:51,625
And then
when he passed away, like...
956
00:35:57,965 --> 00:36:00,105
Didn't get a chance to...
957
00:36:02,515 --> 00:36:04,555
Uh, we didn't get a chance
to say goodbye to him.
958
00:36:08,065 --> 00:36:09,225
RUAH:
After he passed, his wife
959
00:36:09,425 --> 00:36:11,745
came up to me, and,
960
00:36:11,945 --> 00:36:14,675
um... she said, "You know,
961
00:36:14,875 --> 00:36:19,155
Miguel was always really shy
on the red carpets and stuff."
962
00:36:19,355 --> 00:36:21,715
She said, "He would wait
for you to arrive."
963
00:36:21,915 --> 00:36:23,775
'Cause I'm obviously, like,
big and loud and whatever.
964
00:36:23,975 --> 00:36:25,265
And she's like,
"He would wait for you to arrive
965
00:36:25,465 --> 00:36:27,605
so he could walk down the carpet
with you."
966
00:36:27,805 --> 00:36:31,405
His last red carpet, I was
super pregnant with my daughte,
967
00:36:31,595 --> 00:36:34,845
and I kept yelling out
that it was his baby. [laughs]
968
00:36:35,045 --> 00:36:36,865
You know, and he laughed,
and we laughed together.
969
00:36:38,515 --> 00:36:39,895
He was...
970
00:36:40,865 --> 00:36:43,225
...a big storyteller.
971
00:36:43,425 --> 00:36:46,365
I mean, he was the epitome
of a Hollywood baby, right?
972
00:36:46,565 --> 00:36:47,775
SMITH:
He grew up
973
00:36:47,975 --> 00:36:51,055
in old Hollywood, and he was
974
00:36:51,255 --> 00:36:53,505
just a wealth of information.
975
00:36:53,705 --> 00:36:57,405
Frank Sinatra was in his
living room when he was a kid
976
00:36:57,595 --> 00:36:58,605
because his mom was
Rosemary Clooney,
977
00:36:58,805 --> 00:37:00,265
and I mean, just...
978
00:37:00,465 --> 00:37:02,775
You know, and his cousin
George Clooney.
979
00:37:02,975 --> 00:37:03,955
We got inside tips
about George's wedding.
980
00:37:04,155 --> 00:37:06,085
SMITH:
You know,
981
00:37:06,285 --> 00:37:09,125
that's not normal life. [laughs]
982
00:37:09,325 --> 00:37:10,915
LL COOL J:
Miguel was special, man.
983
00:37:11,115 --> 00:37:12,435
Uh, you know,
984
00:37:12,635 --> 00:37:14,465
he was Miguel Bond to me.
He was the coolest dude.
985
00:37:14,665 --> 00:37:16,085
And I saw him--
He rolled up on a horse one day,
986
00:37:16,285 --> 00:37:18,505
one of these seasons.
He, like, rolled up so cool.
987
00:37:18,705 --> 00:37:20,295
Like, yo, Miguel was
988
00:37:20,495 --> 00:37:21,645
the coolest dude on the planet.
989
00:37:21,845 --> 00:37:23,775
Yo, he was hilarious.
He was amazing.
990
00:37:23,975 --> 00:37:24,965
Good memories.
991
00:37:29,965 --> 00:37:31,645
It's hard for me
to even put into words.
992
00:37:31,845 --> 00:37:34,915
14 years is
one-third of my life.
993
00:37:35,115 --> 00:37:37,085
FRAZIER:
The cast reflects on
their journey, but if you think
994
00:37:37,285 --> 00:37:40,745
they left the set empty-handed,
oh, think again.
995
00:37:40,945 --> 00:37:41,465
LL COOL J:
I was thinking
about putting the boatshed
996
00:37:41,665 --> 00:37:42,445
- in my backyard.

00:38:17,285 --> 00:38:18,575
Really?
1010
00:38:18,775 --> 00:38:20,085
- Okay. You ready?
- [laughing]
1011
00:38:20,285 --> 00:38:21,265
Yeah. What was the question?
1012
00:38:21,465 --> 00:38:23,445
"Never ceases..."
1013
00:38:24,485 --> 00:38:26,365
"...to interrupt...
1014
00:38:26,565 --> 00:38:28,605
the sexy." [laughs]
1015
00:38:28,805 --> 00:38:30,605
That's the worst thing
I've ever said on camera.
1016
00:38:30,805 --> 00:38:32,265
- What did Chris say?
- Sexy.
1017
00:38:32,465 --> 00:38:34,265
Same thing? Oh, my God.
1018
00:38:34,465 --> 00:38:36,605
[laughter]
1019
00:38:36,805 --> 00:38:38,505
I'm on the catwalk with...
1020
00:38:38,705 --> 00:38:41,335
♪ I'm too sexy
for this uniform.♪
1021
00:38:41,535 --> 00:38:43,405
FRAZIER:
You know, it wasn't always
hard work and chasing
1022
00:38:43,595 --> 00:38:45,985
bad guys
for theNCIS: L.A. cast.
1023
00:38:46,185 --> 00:38:47,445
[laughs]
1024
00:38:49,005 --> 00:38:51,335
FRAZIER:
And after 14 years on a set,
1025
00:38:51,535 --> 00:38:54,335
it starts to feel
like a second home.
1026
00:38:54,535 --> 00:38:56,365
So, what do you do
when it's time to say goodbye?
1027
00:38:56,565 --> 00:38:58,845
You take some keepsakes.
1028
00:38:59,045 --> 00:39:00,405
I got all the goodies.
1029
00:39:00,595 --> 00:39:02,915
[both laughing]
1030
00:39:03,115 --> 00:39:05,295
LL COOL J:
I got all the goodies.
1031
00:39:05,495 --> 00:39:07,465
Nah, I just wanted my, um...
1032
00:39:07,665 --> 00:39:09,575
- O'DONNELL: I got my vest.
- LL COOL J: I got my vest.
1033
00:39:09,775 --> 00:39:10,845
- Um, I got my badge.
- Oh, you did?
1034
00:39:11,045 --> 00:39:12,405
- Yeah, I got the badge.
- I need to...
1035
00:39:12,595 --> 00:39:13,745
- I need to get my badge.
- You like that?
You like that, huh?
1036
00:39:13,945 --> 00:39:15,265
Yeah, you kind of
one-upped me there.
1037
00:39:15,465 --> 00:39:16,845
RUAH: I took a lot
of Kensi clothes because,
1038
00:39:17,045 --> 00:39:19,055
come on, those boots,
those jeans,
1039
00:39:19,255 --> 00:39:22,745
those sweaters,
those plaid shirts. [laughs]
1040
00:39:22,945 --> 00:39:24,955
So we always had two badges
in case
1041
00:39:25,155 --> 00:39:25,955
one got lost.
We had two badges.
1042
00:39:26,155 --> 00:39:27,675
And I asked for both badges
1043
00:39:27,875 --> 00:39:29,055
so I could eventually
give one to each kid.
1044
00:39:29,255 --> 00:39:31,085
I'd be like, "Look."
1045
00:39:31,285 --> 00:39:33,435
And on the badges is still
my photograph from season one.
1046
00:39:33,635 --> 00:39:35,745
So... [laughing]
1047
00:39:35,945 --> 00:39:37,125
OLSEN:
If you, uh, watch the finale,
1048
00:39:37,325 --> 00:39:38,845
I'm wearing a pink blazer
to the wedding.
1049
00:39:39,045 --> 00:39:40,265
And I literally took that,
1050
00:39:40,465 --> 00:39:41,605
uh, and then wore it
to the wrap party.
1051
00:39:41,805 --> 00:39:44,035
And a bunch of Jordans.
1052
00:39:46,065 --> 00:39:48,225
Wearing them right now.
Just go like that. Yup.
1053
00:39:48,425 --> 00:39:51,465
I got to snag a few clothes
and some shoes.
1054
00:39:51,665 --> 00:39:53,055
I just took my chair back,
1055
00:39:53,255 --> 00:39:55,845
and I took a lot of wardrobe.
[laughs] I...
1056
00:39:56,045 --> 00:39:58,155
Rountree's got a good wardrobe.
1057
00:39:58,355 --> 00:39:59,955
LL COOL J:
I want to make sure
I get a Sam Hanna outfit
1058
00:40:00,155 --> 00:40:01,155
and a Callen outfit.
1059
00:40:01,355 --> 00:40:02,575
I want that, as well,
so I can put it
1060
00:40:02,775 --> 00:40:03,985
in one of those shadow boxes.
1061
00:40:04,185 --> 00:40:05,645
I'm trying to pack up
1062
00:40:05,845 --> 00:40:07,745
the rental house
that we've had in Encino
1063
00:40:07,945 --> 00:40:09,985
and move all of that stuff
to Florida.
1064
00:40:10,185 --> 00:40:11,505
And when I thought
about taking something
1065
00:40:11,705 --> 00:40:13,505
from the set, it was like,
1066
00:40:13,705 --> 00:40:15,575
"What are you thinking of?
1067
00:40:15,775 --> 00:40:18,745
"You got enough crap to haul to
the other side of the country.
1068
00:40:18,945 --> 00:40:19,965
Get over it."
1069
00:40:21,725 --> 00:40:24,225
FRAZIER: But it's not really
goodbye for this cast, 'cause
1070
00:40:24,425 --> 00:40:26,575
once you're family,
you're always family.
1071
00:40:26,775 --> 00:40:28,295
And let's not forget
about the group text.
1072
00:40:28,495 --> 00:40:29,955
I'll text him dumb stuff,
and he will me,
1073
00:40:30,155 --> 00:40:31,225
as much as I would
my best friends
1074
00:40:31,425 --> 00:40:32,915
from college or high school.
1075
00:40:33,115 --> 00:40:34,295
There's a couple of different
ones, which is interesting.
1076
00:40:34,495 --> 00:40:36,575
You got LL Cool J
on a text thread,
1077
00:40:36,775 --> 00:40:38,055
you don't want to just be
hitting it every day.
1078
00:40:38,255 --> 00:40:39,505
That's LL.
1079
00:40:39,705 --> 00:40:41,505
So that one's...
You-you save the special stuff
1080
00:40:41,705 --> 00:40:43,915
for-for the one
with everybody on it.
1081
00:40:44,115 --> 00:40:46,775
Just pick up the damn phone
and talk to me.
1082
00:40:46,975 --> 00:40:48,675
McRANEY:
Everybody in that cast
I want to see again.
1083
00:40:48,875 --> 00:40:50,985
I've given everybody my number.
1084
00:40:51,185 --> 00:40:54,605
They know where I'm moving.
It's, uh.... yeah, you know.
1085
00:40:54,805 --> 00:40:55,955
- O'DONNELL: I will
see him more...
- LL COOL J: Yeah.
1086
00:40:56,155 --> 00:40:57,225
O'DONNELL:
...now that we're not working.
1087
00:40:57,425 --> 00:40:58,815
It's my man. Like, we...
1088
00:40:59,015 --> 00:41:00,125
Look, we worked together
for 14 years.
1089
00:41:00,325 --> 00:41:01,365
He's got a little BabyBjoörn.
1090
00:41:01,565 --> 00:41:02,955
He's going
to carry me around town.
1091
00:41:03,155 --> 00:41:04,155
- [laughing]
- Just kind of cozy in there.
1092
00:41:04,355 --> 00:41:05,815
It's gonna be great.
It's gonna be great.
1093
00:41:06,015 --> 00:41:07,405
Chris needs some milk.
1094
00:41:07,595 --> 00:41:08,955
[both laughing]
1095
00:41:09,155 --> 00:41:13,535
Here's to happy endings
and new beginnings.
1096
00:41:13,735 --> 00:41:15,405
OLSEN:
What is the thing
that I will miss the most?
1097
00:41:15,595 --> 00:41:17,295
And when you have a kid
1098
00:41:17,495 --> 00:41:19,715
that moves out here
from Iowa with $500
1099
00:41:19,915 --> 00:41:21,365
in his pocket with, like,
the hopes and dreams
1100
00:41:21,565 --> 00:41:24,815
of doing something special, you
can't ask for more than that,
1101
00:41:25,015 --> 00:41:27,335
which is to go to work
with people you love
1102
00:41:27,535 --> 00:41:29,155
and get to do something
that-that you care about
1103
00:41:29,355 --> 00:41:31,575
and to tell stories
that sometimes,
1104
00:41:31,775 --> 00:41:34,155
much to my surprise,
like, mattered to people.
1105
00:41:34,355 --> 00:41:37,535
I-I mean, I don't understand
how you can't miss that.
1106
00:41:37,735 --> 00:41:39,575
I'm going to miss this.
1107
00:41:39,775 --> 00:41:41,125
And I think
we did good work here.
1108
00:41:41,325 --> 00:41:42,845
We did great work.
1109
00:41:43,045 --> 00:41:44,885
I look around,
and these are the people
1110
00:41:45,085 --> 00:41:46,985
who I'll remember
for the rest of my life.
1111
00:41:47,185 --> 00:41:49,365
FOA: You hear
from other cast members,
1112
00:41:49,565 --> 00:41:51,505
you hear
from other crew members
1113
00:41:51,705 --> 00:41:55,815
how these other shows... They're
like, "Nothing is like this."
1114
00:41:56,015 --> 00:41:57,985
We are on something
very special.
1115
00:41:58,185 --> 00:41:59,675
You really have
to remember to cherish it,
1116
00:41:59,875 --> 00:42:02,575
um, and I think we did.
1117
00:42:02,775 --> 00:42:04,295
Now that it's all over,
how do I feel?
1118
00:42:04,495 --> 00:42:06,405
I feel super grateful.
1119
00:42:06,595 --> 00:42:09,085
I'm... so grateful
1120
00:42:09,285 --> 00:42:10,575
to have been
a part of something,
1121
00:42:10,775 --> 00:42:11,815
to be a part of history, reall.
1122
00:42:12,015 --> 00:42:14,955
RUAH:
I got to be a part of it
1123
00:42:15,155 --> 00:42:17,775
with those particular people,
that particular cast,
1124
00:42:17,975 --> 00:42:21,575
that particular crew,
those particular directors.
1125
00:42:21,775 --> 00:42:23,715
This particular network.
1126
00:42:23,915 --> 00:42:26,195
My God.
1127
00:42:26,395 --> 00:42:27,745
Pinch me.
1128
00:42:27,945 --> 00:42:29,195
It's time, and we're good.
1129
00:42:29,395 --> 00:42:31,025
I think we're fine with it.
1130
00:42:31,225 --> 00:42:33,955
I think, at the end of the day,
would we have continued? Sure.
1131
00:42:34,155 --> 00:42:35,575
But if this is...
But the time is right.
1132
00:42:35,775 --> 00:42:37,295
- We ended on top.
- Yeah.
1133
00:42:37,495 --> 00:42:38,775
You know, we ended on top,
1134
00:42:38,975 --> 00:42:40,645
and-and that's
a beautiful thing.
1135
00:42:40,845 --> 00:42:43,715
- That was a pretty sweet moment.
- Yeah.
1136
00:42:43,915 --> 00:42:45,885
I've had a lot of those
over the years.
1137
00:42:46,085 --> 00:42:47,265
FRAZER: You know,
this empty soundstage
1138
00:42:47,465 --> 00:42:48,885
holds a lot of memories.
1139
00:42:49,085 --> 00:42:51,435
Lifelong friendships
were forged here.
1140
00:42:51,635 --> 00:42:53,915
Great television was created.
1141
00:42:54,115 --> 00:42:56,775
Here's one last salute
to the cast and crew
1142
00:42:56,975 --> 00:42:58,535
ofNCIS: Los Angeles.
1143
00:42:58,735 --> 00:43:00,955
Keep believing in the beauty
of your dreams.
1144
00:43:01,155 --> 00:43:02,675
Thank you for sharing
this journey with us.
1145
00:43:02,875 --> 00:43:04,335
Thank you for riding with us.
1146
00:43:04,535 --> 00:43:06,845
And, uh, you know,
the best is yet to come.
1147
00:43:07,045 --> 00:43:08,605
Amen.
1148
00:43:08,805 --> 00:43:10,295
I'll leave it to my preacher.
