JESSE [over comms]: Kai, what do you see?
That makes ten.
We got a full house.
All right. Let's roll.
Keep pace, we make entry in 30.
DALIA [over comms]: Don't worry about my pace, Boone.
I was all-state track and field.
Just hope you make it worth my while.
The tip was anonymous,
but we don't know for sure what's inside.
Don't mess this up like you did last time.
Oh, yeah.
Besides a whole bunch of dealers and meth.
Drugs on the table, bad guys in cuffs are the key to my heart.
Ready?
DALIA: Ready.
Go, go, go!
Federal agents! Search warrant!
Nobody move![excited chatter]
Hands on the wall, now.
Runner, runner! We got a runner.
[grunting]
[grunts]
Get off of me!
I didn't do nothing!
Felony weight in meth says different.
Reminds me of high school science.
[scoffs] Doubt they made it that far.
What do you got there?
[sparking]
Clear out. Everybody clear out!
Clear out!
♪ ♪
So much for a nice, quiet bust.
You guys all right?Oh, yeah.
Peachy.
He means to say toasty.
Did anyone get hurt?
JESSE: No, but we lost a lot of the evidence.
Turns out methamphetamine is incredibly volatile.
Detective Reed, any idea what caused this explosion?
Dangerous chemicals plus an unsafe environment
equals big boom.
Kai?
Yeah.
I saw something weird before the explosion.
Weirder than a fully-operational meth lab
in the middle of a suburban neighborhood a mile from Pearl?
Got it.
I saw this
receiving a current in the corner.
I don't think it's part of the lab setup.
TENNANT: That's an IED.DALIA: And that's a little receiver,
which probably means...Someone triggered the device.
TENNANT: This wasn't an accident.
This place was rigged to blow.
LUCY: I'm so bored, Kate. I've got nothing to do here.
I'm confused. You want more crime?
I want something.
The command investigator's on emergency leave.
I'm assuming her caseload, too,
and, uh, there's still nothing to investigate.
Well, isn't that a good thing?
Yes, of course. We don't like crime,
but when I applied to Agent Afloat,
I thought it'd be interesting.
You applied for Agent Afloat to avoid
dealing with your feelings for me.
No. Not entirely.
I mean, yes, okay, a little,
but we're great now.
I just, I want to feel useful here.
Hey, you are very useful.
All I've done so far is help the ship security force
with a toilet paper prank,
investigate someone getting shorted at the ship store
and look into the case of the commander's missing hat.
And you solved each one.
Commander didn't even say thank you.
Should have kept it. I look great in hats.
[chuckles] I miss you.
I miss you too.
And I want to hear what's going on with...[alarm blaring]
MAN: Medical emergency. Medical emergency.
What is that?
[alarm continues blaring]
Eh, don't worry, it's, uh... Happens all the time.
It's probably just a drill.
MAN: This is not a drill.
NCIS agent Lucy Tara, respond,
port side passageway 2-238-
2-Lima.
Well, that's new.
I, uh, I'll call you later.
Okay, go be useful and be careful.
LUCY: What's going on here?
She's unconscious.
Hit her head, ma'am.Okay, and you are?
Uh, Petty Officer Gattman. I found her.
You know who she is?
Uh, Ms. Meadows. The fun boss.
What now?You know, uh,
does social events, parties, games.
Fun boss, got it.
Is she gonna be okay?Yes. Moving her to sick bay asap.
When'd you find her?GATTMAN: A few minutes ago.
We were supposed to meet.
She had my bingo winnings. It was a whole lot of money.
Define a whole lot.$32,000.
From bingo?
It's a progressive jackpot.
When Ms. Meadows didn't show up, I went looking.
Is that the bingo box?
Yeah, and there's nothing in it.
Then the fun boss probably didn't trip.
Is this evidence?Yeah, evidence
that you've added your fingerprints to.Oh,
right, uh, dang. Sh-Should I w-wipe it?
You can just put it down.Yeah.
We're looking at a potential assault and robbery.
This is a crime scene.
Let's start from the beginning.
[door opens]JESSE: Clayton Hickey,
master meth chef.
Operating a ring that deals
to military personnel.You want to explain why
your cook house was rigged to explode?
You know what, I'm gonna be real honest with you guys, okay?
This is just one big miscommunication.
Do tell.You see, what happened is
my cousin-- he works at a lab.
He's got a side project.
How was I supposed to know it was gonna look like meth?
[scoffs]Or explode.
Yeah! Yeah.
Why aren't you guys saying anything?
Because you won't shut up.
Look.
We know it's your operation, we know the meth is real,
and we know that you almost killed
multiple law enforcements agents,
including my colleague here.
Yeah, and I'm taking it kind of personal.
Yeah.
But you guys don't really have anything, right?
'Cause, you know...
[chuckles] It all exploded.Wrong.
We have nine guys willing to testify against you.
Confirm that it was your lab,
your meth, and your bomb.
Okay, look, I swear to God, I do not know what happened.
You don't know how your house turned into a meth lab?
No! I mean, yeah. Okay, look,
I cook meth, fine, but I did not try to kill anybody.
Sort of what happens when you rig it to explode.
That's what I'm trying to tell you.
I did not rig anything.
This is my stuff. I'm as pissed off about it as you are.
Oh, I doubt that.
I don't even know how to fix a toaster, bro.
But...
I do know who you're looking for.
Who?
Angela.
My ex.
She has been trying to sabotage me ever since we split up.
And she is angry enough to want you dead?
That girl? She's psycho.
Okay? She slashed my tires a month ago.
Week before that, she poured bleach all over my plants.
I even put cameras up all-all
over my house just so I could catch her in the act.
You put cameras up all around your house?
To record yourself making meth?
We're gonna need that footage.
["Come An Get Me Now" by Dean McGinnes playing]
♪ Come and get me now ♪
♪ Come and... ♪
Oh, hey.[music stops]
Dalia.
Is just standing behind me.
It's not awkward at all.
I didn't want to interrupt the drum solo.
[sighs] You're here for...
Meth lab footage.
Wondering if our criminal mastermind
was right about his ex. Oh.
So-- surprise, surprise--
Angela was not our mad bomber.
Though she did steal mail from him
and spray paint some nasty words on his garage door.
No one more vengeful than a spurned lover.
Present company excluded.
[sighs]
So, we're back to square one.
Not exactly.
I started to comb through footage
from the house and...
Look... Sorry.
We need to address the elephant
in the room.Ernie.
We can handle this like adults.
I know when I stopped texting you and returning your calls
it was probably like I was...
Completely ghosting me?Yes, but, in fact, I was...
Just being a self-centered ass?
Well, I would portray it...
Ernie, stop. It's fine.
I'm actually seeing someone.
Oh.
You are?
Cool.
So, the meth lab footage?
Oh, yeah, yeah, sorry.
I combed through footage and... I'm sorry.
This is just an interesting surprise.
I mean, how long has it been going on with...Paul.
Paul.Few months, not long.
But he's special.
And I have you to thank.
Me? Really?
You taught me what not to look for.
[door chirps]
Hey, Ernie, just checking in on that footage and, uh...
realizing this could be a bad time.
No, it's the perfect time.
We were just drilling down
on some key data.
Key case-related data?
For sure. Our dealer
certainly incriminated himself,
but he wasn't the only one.
This man pulled up to the house an hour before the raid,
watched the whole thing, drove away just as it went kaboom.
I've seen him before.
At the coffee shop where I get my breakfast
and my gym.
Maybe the laundromat?
ERNIE: One place is a coincidence.
Two could be an anomaly, but three?
He's been following you.
And I was the target for that bomb.
Kai gave me the rundown of his routine for the last few weeks.
I compiled all the locations he's been
and synced them with nearby CCTV footage.
Our suspect has been tailing Kai for a while.
Coffee shop and the gym, like you said,
but also the grocery store, mani-pedi spa.
Hold on. Mani-pedi spa? [laughs]
Take care of your feet and your feet will take care of you.
Boys.
Our suspect has been all over you, Kai.
We got an anonymous tip about the meth house.
Suspect could have planted it.
We have footage of the same man
in a hoodie entering the same meth house a few days ago.
He rigged the building to blow, made it look like an accident.
You got an ID on the guy, Ernie?
Paora Tasi.
Responsible for racketeering,
armed robbery, and two counts
of aggravated assault, and up until a few months ago,
he worked for the Koa Brothers.
JESSE:Koa Brothers? We took those guys down.
They got shivved in prison.
ERNIE: Well, they might be gone,
but their organization remains.
It's actually grown, from what I've found out.
'Cause it's being run by AJ Hale.
That's your old friend, right?
Used to be.
Look, I handed the info
on AJ to the FBI months ago.
They're supposed to be building a RICO case.
If AJ knows, he could be going after you.
TENNANT:All right, let's focus on finding Paora.
Jesse, find his known associates.
Ernie, see if you can dig up any unknown ones.
I'll call Whistler.
AJ Hale is officially our case again.
[knock on door]
You wanted to see me, ma'am?
Yeah, come on in.
Was hoping to go over your statement again.
Did you happen
to see anyone else on your way to finding Ms. Meadows?
Yes, ma'am.
Anyone acting suspicious?
Not sure.
Not sure 'cause you can't remember or you didn't see?
I'm sorry, I...
I just, um...
You think there's any chance I'm gonna see that money?
Well, it-it's not for me, you know.
I was hoping to use the winnings to help out my mom.
Her car broke down, and
I don't want to have to have her use the bus to work.
If we want to find that money,
we're gonna have to work together.
So, think back
to that passageway again.
The sailors that you were passing.
You notice anything off?
Someone, maybe, who shouldn't have been there?
You know... Well, it's more like Ms. Meadows
shouldn't have been there.
The disbursing office is starboard side.
We were supposed to meet there.
So, what was she doing on the other side of the ship?
As you were.
Go ahead. Continue.
I, uh... Yes, sir. Uh...
We'll catch up later.
You've been very helpful.
XO Ramirez, what can I do for you?
The captain is deeply troubled
this violent assault happened on his watch,
and he wants to send a strong message to the crew
and he's authorized a full inch-by-inch search
of this carrier.
Uh, sure, we could do that,
but I'm a little concerned our suspect might get wind of it.
Toss the money overboard and we'll never ID them.
Well, you have another suggestion?
Trick or two up my sleeve.
I know you're upset.
AJ tried to blow up our entire team.
Upset doesn't quite cover it.
Don't know for certain it was AJ.
JESSE: We know our suspect worked for the Koas and AJ took over
their entire operation, so...
How close is the FBI to making a case?
We've been building it off the info we received from Kai
and the witnesses he brought in.
Including my father.Yes.
And this organization AJ's built is bigger than we thought.
AJ's laundering schemes are very sophisticated.
LLCs flow into LLCs, parking money abroad.
Which doesn't answer the question.
Can you make a case?
Not one that will stick, not yet.
JESSE: Why not?WHISTLER: Because there's been a development.
A number of people in AJ's organization
have been murdered. Several others we may never find.
AJ knows the FBI's investigating him,
so he's cleaning house.
Maybe.[scoffs]
Whistler, come on, it's not a maybe. It's for sure.
I'm just saying...That you're taking your sweet time
while my father could be next?
Kai. Settle.
Whistler is on our side, remember?
Look, we need to get this sorted out before more people
get hurt. Where are we on finding Paora?
HPD found his car on the North Shore, but
the trail went cold.And I've got a dozen agents trying to track him down.
We'll find him.Or we just pick AJ up.
We know where he is.NCIS will put all remaining manpower into finding Paora.
We bring him in, we get him to flip on AJ.
That's our path.
[door opens]
Boss...Kai,
a word.
[door closes]
I know you're worried your father might be a target.
Because he is.But if you can't control yourself,
you might need to step away.
I was the one who brought this case to FBI.
I... I got Pops and his friends to speak.
Which has been invaluable to the investigation.
What investigation? Nothing's happened.
And now AJ is killing people.
Look, I have to fix this.
Just go to AJ.
You're smarter than that, Kai.
You know it won't end well.
You don't need to fix anything.
Whatever AJ has become, it happened
when I was gone from the island.
If... if I had been around...
You're not responsible for AJ Hale.
Not then, not now.
[sighs]
I put my family and the team in danger.
I have to do something.
You'll work the case here.
Let Jesse and Whistler find Paora.
I will get more done in the field.
Or you'll get yourself killed.
Until this is resolved, you stay at Pearl.
At least let me go check on my dad.
Make it quick.
I was transporting the lockbox.
I felt a push.
Next thing I know, I'm-I'm here.
And you didn't see anyone
or hear any footsteps or voices?
I wish I could be more help.
You're doing your best.
I do have one question.
Why were you on the port side of the ship?
What do you mean?
Disbursing office is on the starboard side,
so is Gattman's quarters. Just seems odd.
I get turned around sometimes.
You know, uh...
adjusting to carrier life can be hard,
for me, at least. Maybe you, too.
It's lonely being one of the few non-sailors
on a ship of 5,000.
Like a misshapen puzzle piece.Exactly.
What do you do when you're not overseeing all the fun--
did you make any friends?
Tracy, I'm not looking to jam anyone up.
I don't care how you spend your time
or who you spend it with.
But I do need to find out who did this to you.
Why were you on the port side of the ship, Tracy?
I have a friend.
Calvin. A sailor.
Civilian-sailor relationships
are allowed on ships, why hide it?
It's complicated.
He's going through a divorce.
And you were with Calvin before delivering
the lockbox yesterday morning?
No one else knew you were there?No, but,
I swear, he's a good guy.
I'm sure.
I'm gonna need his last name and rate anyway.
Howzit, Kai?
Hey, where's Pops?
We all got to talk.Oh, it's never a
"Good. How are you", is it?Hina.
Now.
[sighs]
Why you got to come at rush hour?
Listen, we got a situation with AJ.
Okay, Hina.
You both need to lay low for a while.
What you mean, lay low?
We got work.
Maybe you don't for a while, is what I'm saying.
Okay? We need to shut down.
NCIS will provide protection.[door opens]
Protection? What's all this about?
Hey. Pops, pay attention.
This is serious.Look.
Keep your voice down, son.
Why is AJ here?
What you doing here?
Aloha to you, too, Kai.
There's no aloha between us.
Cool down, brah. Just here to eat.
That why you brought the muscle?
AJ: Roy is an associate.
Bulge in his jacket is a gun.
Hey.
You really think that you can come here
after everything you did?
Always what I did.
Only thing I ever did
was give your dad
money, take care of him,
and you pay me back by trying to lock me up.
'Cause you're a criminal, AJ.
And you're a disgrace to this entire community.
Guy who left
telling me I'm a disgrace?
You take advantage of your people
and then when they get in your way, you murder them.
You think you know something?
Do something about it.
[laughs]
You're always one step ahead, aren't you?
So, what I'm gonna do,
I'm gonna kick both of you out right now.
Oh, you want me to go? Do it yourself.Yeah.
My pleasure.No, no, no, no, no.
Nobody's gonna do anything.
Both of you gonna back off,
now, seeing as
you all have an audience.
Yeah, that's Kai.
All talk, no follow through.
Listen, boss.Yeah?
Things got out of control.You don't say.
I lost my temper.You hit the subject
of an ongoing RICO case in public,
nearly breaking his jaw.I'm sorry.
You're lucky that AJ isn't pressing charges.
Look, he had it coming. I just...Stop.
I know it was stupid.
But AJ, he threatened my family.
He hired someone to kill me.
Allegedly, Kai.
We need to prove it.
And you have just made that exponentially harder.
Where do we go from here?
You're not going anywhere. You're benched.
The rest of us will continue looking for our bomb suspect.
Try to tie him to AJ.
I can still help.
At Pearl.
AJ-- he knows we're closing in on him.
He's becoming emotional.
Erratic.
Then we need to find his breaking point.
Get him to slip up.
LUCY: I just need to ask a few questions,
Petty Officer Lynch.Yes, ma'am.
What's your relationship to Tracy Meadows?
[flapping noise above]Uh... we're friendly.
We say hello when we pass each other.
Have a cup of coffee, maybe.
What is that sound?
It's the, uh, A/C vent, sir.
Been going like that all day.
I'll have engineering check it out.
Yeah, uh, but, first... Ms. Meadows.
Sometimes we talk.
Are you and Ms. Meadows in a sexual relationship, sailor?
XO Ramirez, can I have a word?
Look, I need to remind you that I'm the investigator.
You're an observer.
You're making Lynch nervous.
Good. He needs to understand
he could be in serious trouble.Well, sure,
but if he thinks he's in trouble,
he won't open up, which is what I'm hoping
to have him do. See what I mean?
In other words, let you do your job.
Respectfully.
Thank you.
I'm not your XO
or your C.O.,
I'm just trying to understand what happened to Tracy,
and I think you want to know, too.
So, y'all were together before the assault happened?
Yes, she was here with me.
[flapping noise continuing]And, uh,
where were you when the assault happened?
On the way to the mess decks to meet my buddies.
Uh...
do you mind writing their names down?
Not at all.
I'll be right back.
[clears throat]All done?
No, but we need to get engineering up here now.
And why's that?
'Cause this just came out of the air vent
next to Petty Officer Lynch's rack.
So, we remove the vent, and there's, like,
2k stuffed inside, covered in blood,
and suspect stands there with his mouth open,
shocked we caught him.Props to you.
Agent Afloat's all kinds of afloating.
What does that even mean?I don't know.
I'm only half-listening.Ernie.
I just solved my first real case alone.
And yet you don't seem all that excited.
Well, I'm... super excited.
No, super excited Lucy is all, "Yee-haw"
and "Y'all know what?"
Okay, that's on-land Lucy.
Sailor Lucy is more reserved.
I don't know, it-it is weird, though.
Why would Lynch just keep that money above his bed?
He knew that we would come talk to him.
And where's the rest of it?
Sailors make tons of stupid decisions.
Crashing boats, stealing tanks,
wearing hats to the theater.
And when I told Meadows,
she didn't even ask what'll happen to Lynch,
just that she's done with "bad relationships."
[phone chimes]
[sighs] That's just too much.
I know. I'm missing something.
What? Oh, you probably are.
I was talking about this notification.
Dalia posted photos from her night out at Salsamor.
Oh, Dalia's back in the picture?
Yeah.
But not with me. Some guy named Paul.
And based on what I can see,
his dance moves
are sloppy.
Are you jealous?
What? No.
Jealousy would require if I care that
Dalia found some other dude
and no longer has feelings for me,
but I couldn't care less.
Which is why you set your phone
to get notifications when she posts
'cause of all the not caring.I don't know.
Ernie, we're family.
Whatever it is you're feeling, I can hold it.
Oh, wow.
Lucy, you're so right.
Don't know why I didn't think of that.
Thank you.
Uh, you're welcome?[door opens, closes]
Oh, good. You're both here.
I found the missing piece.
You can tie AJ to Paora?
What? No.
You have evidence
that AJ's going after Kai?
Not that, either.
What, then?
Shell companies. A ton of them.
All used to keep AJ from being implicated
in illegal activities.
We know this.
And I knew it had to connect to someone.
And I put all my impressive skills
to looking for AJ's fingerprints.
But then Lucy gave me an idea.JESSE: Wait.
You talked to Lucy?
Yeah, we were video chatting.
How come she doesn't video chat me?
Clearly, she likes me best.
And the idea?
Whoa.
ERNIE:When you can't hold onto something yourself,
you give it to someone else.
Ernie...
you're a genius.
I know.
["Hawaiian Hitman" by Pohaku playing]
Mean one, Kalani.
Hey. We just getting started.
I'm gonna throw another burger on the grill.
Maybe another dozen.
We're not hungry, Mr. Hale.
Well, unless you're here to take my statement
about Kai Holman assaulting me,
I got nothing to say.
You don't need to say a word.
Okay.
This is how it is?
Let's do it.
AJ, what's going on?
AJ: Don't worry, Alana.
I'll be back before the laulau's ready.
Alana Hale, I'm Special Agent Whistler, FBI.
This is Special Agent Boone, NCIS.
And you are under arrest.
ALANA:What?
What do you mean, I'm under arrest?
JESSE: You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say
can and will be used against you in a court of law.AJ?
AJ!
I want to talk to my husband.
Your husband's the reason you're in this room right now.
So why don't you talk to us first?
About what?Well,
let's start with the network of shell companies
and dummy corporations that you are running millions
in blood money through.
Blood money?
From drugs, stolen goods, extortion.
I mean, I can keep going.
You're Kai, right?
AJ told me about you.
You were like brothers.
That was a long time ago.
He was there for you when things got bad with your mom.
He sat with you at her bedside.
He took care of you,
just like a brother should.
And somehow, after all that,
the first time I see your face is now.
Agent Holman's not the problem here.
Your husband has put your entire family in the line of fire.
That's not true.
My husband is a businessman.
He's a kingpin.
Running a criminal enterprise.
No.Yeah.
It's all here, Alana.
All these businesses he runs-- they're fronts.
And none of them are in his name.
It's your name on the paperwork.
And your aunts,
your uncles, your cousins,
your entire family.
No, this isn't right.
You didn't sign all of those?
I-It was for a family trust.
So we'd be taken care of
if anything ever happened to AJ.Alana,
he lied to you.
He's not protecting the family.
He's implicating them in dozens
of felonies, including murder.
The Koa brothers, several others.
My husband is not capable of that.
Just think about it. He's changed, right?
The bodyguards, the layers of protection.
It's not for your family. It's for him.
Each one of you will end up in prison
because of what he's done unless you help.
TENNANT: Talk to us.
You have to think about what's right for your family.
Hey, Alana's cooperating.
She'll convince her family to, as well.
TENNANT: They can get us documents
establishing a direct connection
between AJ and all of his shell corporations.
That's the ballgame.We can bring him in now.
TENNANT: Coordinate between NCIS and the FBI
to all of his known locations at once.
Kai.I know.
You get him.
I'll make sure I get my family somewhere safe.
Please and thank you.
Federal agents! Search warrant!
Hands up.JESSE: Hands!
Hands!I want to see your hands.
Get against the wall.
Hands up. Don't move.
Against the wall. Against the wall.
Anything?
Nothing.
We hit AJ's office, home and construction site.
Not to mention every local business
he co-owns. He's nowhere.
Must have gone off the grid when we brought in his wife.
Keep agents at every location until he turns up.
JESSE: Copy, boss.
And we need Kai back here now.
AJ's a cornered animal.
No telling what his next move might be.
Hey, I thought this was gonna be quick. What are you doing?
Balancing last night's receipts.
Now? With a target on your back?
The books can never wait, especially when the FBI keeps
reviewing them.[phone vibrates]
All right.
We need to leave. Now.
So go. Take Hina. I'm fine here.
Oh, I think we're all screwed.
This ends now.
Put the gun down, AJ.
No. No, you're gonna listen.
For once.
You don't want this, son. Relax. You don't want to hurt anyone.
People are already hurt.Yeah, because of you.
No, brah.
Because of you!
Why are you trying to destroy me?
Whatever was going on between us was between us.
It's bigger than that now, okay?
My family, your family--
everyone is in danger because of your choices.
I do what I do
foreveryone.
I'm trying to build something.Yeah?
By killing the Koas? By taking their business?
You don't listen!Don't...
Stop moving!Okay, okay. Hey.
That gun has got a hair trigger.
One twitch, it goes off.
Shut up!AJ, look.
Hey, Kai's an ass, but...
it's-it's good advice, don't you think?
Why you make me do this?
You took my wife in cuffs.
I know it's messed-up.
I know. Alana's okay.
I talked to her,
and she reminded me of the friend you were
when Mom got sick.
You were there for me.
And look how I'm repaid.I know.
But I am here for you right now, bro.
'Cause there is only two ways out of this.
One way, you pull that trigger,
this whole thing ends in blood.
Or the other way, you put the gun down--
just put it down-- and we work this out together.
It's not gonna be easy, but it's a path.
Alana had no part in this.
KAI: Nothing happens to her, I swear.
And me?You have to answer
for all of it.
The money laundering.
The Koas' murders, taking out
your former associates,
trying to kill me.
What are you talking about?
I didn't try to take out any associates, and-and I never
tried to take you out, either.Stop lying. Just stop lying.
We know about Paora Tasi. He's your hit man.
Paora? Brah, he's first cousins
with the Koas.
He hates me.
[tires screeching]
Everybody get down!
[rapid gunfire]
AJ!
You okay?Yeah.
Call 911. Don't move from here.
Don't worry.
What do you think you're doing?I got to get out of here.
Move, move, move!
What do you see?
Paora and at least three others.
Let me help.
I'm gonna draw them away.
You go back inside, okay? Protect Pops and Hina. Hey.
You shoot me, I will kill you.
Go!
AJ, get down! Get down!
Put it down. Tell that traitor to come outside.
Maybe I let your family live.
Actually, how about you put yours down?
Maybe we let you live.
We who?
My boss, right behind you.
[siren wailing in distance]
[grunts] Thanks, boss.
You were supposed to lay low.
I know. I know.
You guys okay?
I'm not okay, dummy. They were shooting at us.
And the restaurant's a mess.
Who's gonna clean all this up in time for the breakfast rush?
We'll work on it, Dad, okay?
They're fine.
AJ, I need you to give me the gun.
Remember, this is the only path.
Give me the gun.
Look after my family, yeah?
Yeah.
Oh. Going somewhere?
Leaving the ship at the next port.
Need a break from the fun.
Yeah. These yours?
Yeah. All the ship had was a chess set with too many rooks
and a deck of cards. Had to do something.
Want to play a game before you leave?
Not really.Come on.
One last go at fun boss?
What's this about?
Man, your commitment to this job is impressive.
It shouldn't surprise me since you used to be
an account executive in Silicon Valley.
I read your personnel file.
Well, gonna do something, do it right.
Why do it at all, though?
Go from a six-figure salary to this?
It was just time for a change.
Hmm.
Wasn't your choice, though, was it?
Have you been checking up on me?
Know what?
Yeah. Yeah, I have.
'Cause this whole robbery didn't make any sense.
I mean, Petty Officer Lynch is no criminal.
Maybe a bit naive, but, uh,
you, Tracy Meadows--
you've been through this before.
I don't know what you mean.Well,
your ex, back in San Jose, got fired
and arrested for embezzling $200,000
that was never recovered.
A few weeks later,
you quit the same firm, took a job with the Navy.
I'm the one who got her head bashed in here.
Gonna do something, do it right.
Okay. This is ridiculous.
I told you I have bad luck with men.
I'd say bad luck in general.
Special Agent Tara.
Great work.
[laughs] Thanks, XO.
Just glad that Petty Officer Gattman's mom won't have
to take the bus to work anymore.
I don't know what that means, but I'm glad, too.
Listen, the captain is very pleased.
Wants to invite you to dinner with the department heads
in his in-port cabin tonight.
Wow. Sure.
Sensitive matter to discuss. Someone's been stealing
frozen strawberries from the chief's mess.
Really?No.
It's just some, uh, some ship humor.
No, Captain wants to thank you for taking care of our sailors.
And I do, too.
[phone rings]
Come hungry.
Hey, Kate.
How's it going on the ship?
Uh... really great, actually.
Oh, yeah? Tell me everything.
What are you doing, Ernie?What?
Who, me?[door closes]
Uh, I'm just archiving files of AJ's operation for the FBI.
Just, those guys are so bossy over there.Really?
'Cause from where I'm standing, it kind of looked like
you were stalking Dalia's social media.
What?
I know. I was.
[sighs]
I'm so ashamed.
Dude, don't be ashamed, all right?
She broke your heart. We've all been there.
No, no, no, that's the thing. She didn't break my heart, Jess.
I haven't thought of her
once in the last eight months.
Okay. Something change?Yeah.
She found a guy.Ah.
And now you realize how much you care.
No, no. I don't care.
I guess I feel jealous,
but not of him.
Okay. Then who?
Her, Jess. Her.
I feel jealous of her because
she found someone she can go dancing with
and go out to dinner with, and...
I'm still here with...
you.
[sighs] Thanks, dude.
I meet all these great women.
I mean, really terrific, but none of them stick.
I used to think they were the problem.
What if it's me?
What if I'm not sticky?
Ernie, you got issues.
A lot. But...
I can honestly say
you're the stickiest guy I know.
You mean it?
Never meant anything more.
Thanks.
[knocking]
Finished my report.Oh.
In record time, I see.Case took a while.
Just, uh, making sure I'm not the bottleneck.
How you holding up?
Uh...
AJ is in custody.
Hina and Pops are safe.
He actually, uh, opened the restaurant
for breakfast this morning, so...
You didn't answer my question.
I'm fine.
It's okay if you're not.
You just took down a friend.
And no matter what he did,
that's hard.
I keep on thinking back to school.
These kids--
they were giving me a hard time.
I was super shy back then.
AJ steps in and he makes it clear
if they want to start trouble,
they start trouble with him, too.
I didn't even know him and he was willing
to fight for me.
So, what do I do now?
You have a seat.
And we have a drink.
Kai, I want you to know...
...that there are still people who will fight for you.
Thanks, boss.
