So thoughtful of you. Mmm.

The cupcake you left in our fridge this morning.
Oh, right.
Is it still in the fridge or did you happen to bring it?
It said "Happy Anniversary" on it.
Yes, it did.
Happy anniversary, my love.
Oh, thank you.Mm-hmm.
But it's not our anniversary,

Not the anniversary of our meeting, o-or dating

I know.You do?
Yeah. I'm superstitious about real dates and anniversaries.
That's why we open Christmas presents on the 23rd?
[scoffs] Everybody opens Christmas presents on the 23rd.
No, they don't.
Anyway, I may be weird
about dates and anniversaries,

Joe. My name is Joe.
Okay, Joe, what's your last name?

You should come here. He said we were going to the cops.
Where is here, Joe? Who do you think you killed?
Why won't you just help me?

Not necessarily. I mean, Makhachev, he's a...
he's a grappler. Crazy good, too.
Grappler, yeah.Yeah, yeah.
If he gets Holloway to the ground,
it's gonna be a challenge, but-but, look,
I'm-I'm all in on Holloway, so... [chuckles][phone dings]
Everything okay?
I'm sorry. It's Jake.

He's asking me a million questions about beef jerky.[phone dings]
How many beef jerky questions could there be?
He's-he's just excited.
But not as excited as I am about this fight.Yeah. [laughs]
Between the grappler and the striker.
Yeah.
Yeah, I appreciate you coming out with me, man.
You kidding me? It's our first guys' night out, you know.
I've been excited about this for weeks.
[phone dings]
Guess there's no such thing as a night off
from parenting, huh?Nope.
Man, your single life must be a blast.
No carpools to organize,
Little League practice,
three different meals for three different palates.
You can just do what you want.
Yeah, I guess I have a lot of free time.
Drinking with the buddies,
going to concerts, last-minute trips to Vegas.
Those were the days.
[laughs]
No, I... I don't do any of that stuff, man
I mostly just hang out at home.
[phone dings]
That's Lucy.
She's got an address
we got to check out for a possible shooting.
So much for guys' night out.
JESSE: Sucks, but the address isn't too far. Maybe
we make it to the match by intermission.
[laughs]
Or whatever they call it.
[indistinct conversations]
So, I'm looking at the second molar, the first molar,
and everything looks fine, right?
Right.But the patient
is insistent. The pain-- it's in her upper left quadrant.
Okay, so...Mm.
I think I'm following.Okay.
So, I get to the first bicuspid, the 13,
you know?No, actually, I-I don't.
Turns out it was the number
four-- the second bicuspid--
all the way on the right side.
But I get there, and-and sure enough,
white spots.
Uh, decay. Classic sign of pre-cavity.
[chuckles] Wow.
I mean, that is...
...a story.[chuckles]
Who knew being a dentist could be so exciting?
Oh, being a dentist isn't exciting.
Well...Luckily,
I'm a periodontist. [chuckles]
Yeah, it's all about thinking quick on your feet.

LUCY: Hey, boss. No,
not exactly, but I sent Kai and Jesse out
to check out an address. It was just an empty lot.
Oh, wow.
Okay, so...
you need me to come in right away.
No. It's probably just a false alarm.
I'll let you know if anything pops up.
Enjoy your dinner with the dentist.
Yeah, actually,
he's a...
It was a false alarm.Oh, totally understand.
Oh, oh, yeah, I took the liberty of pre-ordering
the soufflé.Oh.
It takes an hour to prepare, so...
Yeah. Sounds good.
Seems like it was a prank call.
Maybe.
But the sound of his voice-- that was...
that was real panic.
Well, there are plenty of explanations for panic.
Not all of them lead to a dead body.

NCIS. Special Agent Tara.
I think I killed someone.
Joe.
It's Agent Tara. We spoke before.
We did?
Yes, but you're gonna have to give me more info
if you want my help.
The address you gave me was an empty lot.
No, no, that's-that's-that's not right.
That's not right.
Okay, well, then let's start from the beginning.
Your last name and where you are.
Um... [sighs]
I don't know. I-I can't remember. I can't remember.
Okay, what do you remember?
A jewelry store.
What jewelry store, Joe? Is that where you are now?
Um...
Yes, a jewelry store.
Report of shots fired. Keoniana Street.
Is there a jewelry store nearby?
Um...
Royal Hawaiian Heritage Jewelry.
1024 Keoniana Street.JOE: Are you still there?
Yeah, I'm here, Joe.
Hawaiian Heritage Jewelry.
Is that the store?
Yes. Yes, there's-there's blood everywhere.
The-the cops need to know what happened.
And I'm gonna send them, but to be clear,
that is your location?
Joe.
Damn it.
I'll send Kai and Jesse back out, which they'll hate.

I'll text him. Just hope he's not busy.

Hello?
Hey, Joe?
Joe, you here?
Seems pretty quiet to me.
I got a problem.
Can I ask you something?
Yes. Please.
Are you a grinder?
[coughing]
Excuse me?
Well, you like a teeth grinder.
I can give you some tips for that, maybe
recommend a night guard.
[phone vibrates]Excuse me.
Oh.
Jesse, hi.
Sorry to bother you, boss.
We got a body.
Looks like a robbery.
Then why is the safe still full?
[indistinct radio chatter]
Victim is 38-year-old Nelson Carr,
store clerk from Waimanalo.
Keys were still in the door.
It's likely he was closing up
for the night when he got jumped,
dragged to the back and shot twice in the head.
Okay, do we think Lucy's caller, Joe, is responsible?
He said he killed someone, gave us the address.
No sign of him when we showed up.
Forensics is still working their magic.
The safe was
broken into with an industrial drill.
Someone knew what they were doing.
And yet the safe was full.
Yeah, over 80K in cash.
Not to mention Rolexes,
Piagets, and a limited edition
pink gold Patek Philippe.
I'm a watch guy.
So the killers broke into the safe,
murdered the sales clerk
and left without all the goods?
MAN: What is going on?[woman screams]
MAN: I need to get in there.WOMAN: Oh my God, Oh my God.
I'm sorry, who are you?
I'm-I'm Dennis Lang. This is my store.
Oh, my God.This is my girlfriend Nicole.
Who's going to calm down now. Okay, sweetie?
The hell happened in here?
We're not sure, Mr. Lang, but it looks like Nelson Carr
was the victim of a robbery gone wrong.
This is unbelievable.
[sobbing]
KAI: We'll need an inventory
to see if anything is missing.
Nothing is missing.
You didn't take very long to look.
I-It's all here. They didn't take anything.
Okay, we need an inventory anyway.
And we'll need to see your security footage.
Uh...
Is that a problem, Mr. Lang?
My cameras-- they're not working.
They've been busted for a month.Doesn't seem
very smart for a place with high-end merchandise.
No it doesn't, Dennis.Thank you, Nicole.
It's humiliating.
Look, why don't you guys
go have a seat for now.
HPD can collect statements.
Let's take the camera system anyway.
And check and see if there's other CCTV footage of the area.
And if Ernie gets an ID on Joe,
head to his last known residence.
Okay.
Oh, and, Jesse?Yeah.
Please ask Heather not to send me on a blind date again.
That bad?
[lock beeps, door opens]
Oh.
Better call the fire department, Luce.
There's a smoke show in here.
[chuckles]
So now you're a comedy team?
Just appreciating your fancy duds.
I came straight from my set at the Royal Hawaiian.
You play piano?
And sings, too.
Geez.I like to stay busy.
Very busy. Speaking of which...
I traced the calls to a cell
belonging to Corporal Joseph Pitt.
A former Marine who worked in SSE--
Sensitive Site Exploitation.
He was trained to extract intel,
hard drives, valuables in a hurry after raids.
Basically he can break into anything.
Including a safe.Exactly.
But Joe was medically retired three years ago.
What happened?
Well, an explosion during an op
left him with a traumatic brain injury.
He suffers from short-term memory loss
and struggles with high-functioning sequencing.
That explains the repetition and confusion.
And his skillset explains his involvement
in the jewelry store break-in.
On the plus side, Joe clearly
wants to be found. I mean, he practically
confessed to the murder.
But he has a severe brain injury.
He may not know what he's confessing to.
Could you get his location from the cell tower
the call came from?
Not a precise one.
But he's hiding somewhere near Diamond Head.
I'll head out there. In the meantime, send me his number,
I'll keep trying him.
Copy. Forensics just confirmed
Joe Pitt's fingerprints were on the busted safe.
Mm, given Joe's brain injury, it's unlikely that he was alone.
Boot prints suggest there was at least
one other suspect involved.
All right, any insight on what they were after?
That's the headline, actually.
There was traces of diamond dust found in the safe.
Diamond dust?
That's what they use to cut raw diamonds.
Not something that a retail store
would be in the business of doing.
No, we didn't see any raw diamonds in the safe.
Maybe that's what was stolen.
And the only reason
that Lang would lie about something like that...
Is if the diamonds were illegal.
It's the perfect score for a robbery.
JESSE: Ernie.
Are you officiating a wedding?
What? No. But I am licensed to do so.
Store cameras weren't broken like Lang claimed.
They were disabled.
And it wasn't the first time.
Lang's been doing it on the regular.
That's shady.TENNANT: Get Lang in here.
Let's find out about his extracurricular activities.
You look nice.
Lucy Tara's phone.
It's a lovely day for driving around Diamond Head looking
for a needle in a haystack.
Well, I hate to disappoint,
but Joe's apartment
was the opposite of a needle in a haystack.
Whatever that is.
Mostly empty?
Yeah. Yeah, a few personal items,
a picture of Joe
and a woman that I just texted you
and a brochure for New Dawn.
Wait, what's New Dawn?
It's a veteran's support group. They, um,
help vets sort through, uh, challenges
of coming back from combat and
adjusting to civilian life. That sort of thing.
Oh.
Sounds like you've been.
No. No, never.
Why? You think I...No.
No, sorry, Kai, I-I didn't mean...
Someone invited me once
after my last deployment, but...
And you decided not to go.
Yeah. Yeah, no, I... I don't do that.
Talk to people.
Hey, um, did you see that photo I sent you?
Oh, looks like Joe has a girlfriend, or
had one. They look so happy.
Yeah, it's the only photo at his place.
Clearly means a lot to him.
Wait, that balcony-- that's nearby. The Marquess.
The Old Marquess. That's closed for construction.
Makes it a perfect place to hide.
I'm go take a look.
Oh, and hey, maybe
you should, uh, you know...
Go to the vets center, check out New Dawn?
Yeah. Talk to people.
About the case.
Yeah, sure.
Be careful out there, Lucy.
Strange way of doing business, Dennis.
You got security cameras but won't use them.
You got robbed but won't say what was stolen.
Seems all kinds of suspicious.
I'll tell you what's suspicious.
Ganging up on an innocent shop owner
when there's a murderer out there.
Tell us about the diamonds, Dennis.[clears throat]
The shady ones that you've been cutting
in the back of your store.
First I'm hearing of it.
Cut the crap or we'll assume
you're directly involved in the robbery
that led to the homicide.
I had nothing to do with the robbery.
Or the homicide. I'm the victim here!
Feels like Nelson Carr's the victim.
And if you don't want to give us answers,
we can come up with some ourselves, like...
Carr found out about your illegal diamonds
and then you killed him
to keep him quiet.Okay, okay.
It's not as bad as you make it seem.
Occasionally...
I get involved in the procurement,
rehabilitation and transportation
of native gems.
Black market diamonds.
Call it that, too.
What was taken from the safe?
Bag of Brazilian raindrops.
Diamonds I had already sold.
How did Joe Pitt know about them?
No idea.
Never heard of him.
Who else knew about the raindrops?
I don't know. A few people.
Business people.
People I now owe 800K to.
You see my dilemma?
And we sympathize.
But you're gonna need to get a lot more specific.
[line ringing]
[phone ringing in distance]
Joe?
[hangs up]
[line ringing]
You must be Joe.
How do you know my name?I'm Lucy Tara.
The NCIS agent you called.
I don't remember calling you.
Hey, it's okay.
All right? I'm here to help.
That's a lot of blood on you. Are you hurt?
No. I-I... I don't think so.
Maybe you shouldn't be here. I'm dangerous.
I'm not sure I believe that, Joe.
You don't know me.
I know you go to New Dawn.
Veterans support group.
That you asked me for help.
Said you wanted to tell the cops everything that happened.
I do.
I just... I-I just get so confused.
You know, maybe, uh, maybe this'll help,
I found it in your apartment.
Who is she?
That's Marissa.
My love. Did-did she reach out?
No.
But is she someone we can call?
Maybe help you remember some things?
No.
She doesn't like it when I call her anymore.
Not since the accident.
[car approaching]
Listen, Joe, I want to help.
But you have to give me the gun.
Otherwise my associates out there--
they're gonna get the wrong impression, that you're a danger
to me and you're not, you're not a danger to me, right?
No.
You called me for the right reasons.
You said you may have hurt someone but you want to help.
You're lying. You're trying to manipulate me.
Why does everybody try and trick me?
I'm-I'm not lying. This is my boss.
See? She knows that I'm here and she's worried.
So, I'm gonna answer it, okay?
Ok-Okay.
Hello.
Lucy, you all right?
I'm with Joe right now and he's willing to cooperate.
He just needs to hand me his gun.
Lucy, we are sending in HPD now to assist.
Actually, I think it's better if you didn't. Think, uh...
Joe'd be a lot more comfortable talking to just me.
Look, I don't think...And I'm not in any danger.
Because Joe is gonna hand me his gun.
Right now.
Thank you, Joe.
Now that we have that sorted out, we're gonna
chat, just the two of us. If you give me some time.
All right, look, I will give you
as long as it takes for me to get there.
And I drive fast.
Thank you, boss.
Let's talk about the jewelry store.
We're at the dinner table,
and Cousin Jimmy asks,
"So what was it like over there?
You kill anyone?"
Like he's saying, "Mind passing the salt?"
I get it, he's-he's curious.
No idea what to say to people
like us who've come back from war.
Nobody gets it.
Time passes, people stop asking.
But that weight is still there.
Where do you put it?
You put it here.
We carry the weight for each other.
Welcome to New Dawn, brother.
Have a seat.
Actually, I'm...
I'm not here to, uh...
I'm looking to talk to someone about Joe Pitt.
Oh.
I-I knew about the TBI, obviously.
I felt bad for the guy.
So I invited him out bowling.
And then, like clockwork, he would call all the time.
It was a lot, but I wanted to help.
Yeah, you were just trying to be a good guy.
I should have done more.
But...
it got hard.
Hard how?
Look, any informationyou have
about Joe is gonna be really helpful.
The guy is in a bit of trouble right now.
You don't understand.
Joe isthe trouble.
What do you mean?
He can get violent.
One night at the bar,
I stopped him from smashing a bottle
over some guy's head
because he thought he was laughing at him.
And by the time we got outside
he didn't even remember it happened.
I would tread lightly if I were you.
Whose blood is on you, Joe?
Stop it.We know you were at the jewelry store.
You broke into the safe.
I broke into the safe for the cause.
What cause?No one was supposed to get hurt.
Someone did.
The store clerk. He was beaten and he was shot.
No. I-I didn't hurt him.
It was Markus.
Markus shot the store clerk?No.
No, I-I shot Markus.
[phone vibrates]
So, is-is that Markus' blood on you?
He said everything would be okay.
Where is Markus now? Can you show me?
I think that I can.
Okay.
What's that?
This-this is my boss, remember? I have to get it.
And then you can take us to Markus.
No, no, no, I... the cops can't come.Okay...
I won't remember.Okay, that's fine.
I-I will handle it, okay?
Hey.
Lucy, time's up, we're coming in.
Wait, wait, just-just hold on a second.
Joe told me there's someone else.
At the jewelry store, yeah, we know.
Another body.
Like a bodybody?
Mm-hmm, and Joe is gonna
take me to him right now as long as we keep
the cops away for just a little bit longer,
so his head stays clear.
Okay, you think that's the best plan?
I think it's the only plan.
Okay.
Have him show you the body.
And we'll stay a safe distance behind.
Lucy?
You got this.
So, uh,
you and Markus, y'all we're friends?
No.
But you went to the jewelry store together for the cause?
Yes.
Remember who else was there?
I made a... I made a promise.
A promise to who-- to Markus?
Do you want to see Markus or talk about the store?
I can't do both at once, okay?
Okay, but maybe take it down a notch.
Sorry, Marissa.
I'm sorry for everything.
Okay? You don't-you don't deserve this.
Joe, I'm not Marissa.
I'm Lucy and we're looking for Markus.
Remember?
Yeah. I-I know.
We came down that path.
You and Markus?
Joe. Joe!
One stop, he said.
One stop and we go to the cops.
You were gonna go to the cops
'cause of what happened at the jewelry store?
"I promise," he said.
Then why do you have your gun out?
Joe, was he gonna hurt you?
I don't believe you, Markus. You're lying to me.
No one was supposed to get hurt.
Nobody was supposed to get hurt!Joe. Hey...
Joe!
Wait, Joe!
One minute on, one minute off.
You're mad, I can tell.
No, I'm not mad.
I'm just frustrated.
Because of the anniversary thing?
'Cause we can celebrate another night.
I don't care about the anniversary thing.
You took a murderer into a secluded area by yourself
and he punched you before running away.
Technically, it was an elbow and he didn't mean to do it.
Why are you defending him?
I think Joe is a victim here.
[scoffs]Yes.
He may have killed someone, I think in self-defense.
He's not capable of planning a robbery
and taking someone to a beach to shoot them.
He doesn't even know what he had for lunch.
I know you feel for the guy.
I get it. But you heard what Kai found out.
Joe is no wallflower. He's violent on a good day.
He's impressionable, easily confused.
Someone took advantage of him and now he's on the run.
And I'm afraid that...Of what?
He may do something that he can't come back from.
Well, I think that ship has sailed, Lucy.
Hope I'm not interrupting.
I just spoke to Joe's ex, Marissa.
She's living in Arizona
and hasn't spoken to him in two years.
Did he mention any other family or friends?
We only know about the people from the support group.
Ethan Denton.
Maybe go back to him. He may know where Joe's gone.
If you're up for it.
And take Whistler with you.
And the ice pack.
Ah, how'd your set go last night?
Eh. I didn't get a lot of love from the crowd.
Ah, so that's what you're looking for.
Love from the crowd.
[scoffs] I wouldn't say I'm looking for it.
It's just something to do.
Why does it feel like I'm being hobby-shamed today?
No shaming.
Just trying to get a little insight
into that big lovely brain of yours.
After all, I can't cut it open.
I just figure the more I put myself out there,
in the world, the more likely
I am to connect to something I want.
That's nice and vague.
You ever think you're going about it the wrong way?
What?
Connections.
Too much work here.
And not enough work there.
Let's connect to the dead guy
from the beach, shall we?
Markus Stoller.
Ex-felon with an impressive rap sheet.
Forensics
confirmed his fingerprints at the jewelry store.
Shot once in the chest.
Muzzle imprint around the wound.
And GSR on his hands suggest
there was a struggle for the gun.
So Joe fought with Markus before he killed him.
Perhaps. Impossible to tell
who was holding the gun when it went off.
Or which one of them killed the store clerk.
Well, actually, it was neither.
According to ballistics, the clerk and Stoller
weren't killed with the same gun.
So there's another gun.
And likely another killer.
What's that?
Oh, nothing, nothing.
It's, um, it's from New Dawn.
The support group.
Yeah.
You should go to that.
[chuckles] No.
No, that wasn't...Hey. You said you got info?
Oh, I got info. Ernie hit a dead end
trying to find Joe's connection to Lang's
black market diamonds.This I know.
But I found a connection between Markus Stoller
and Dennis Lang, or rather
Lang's girlfriend Nicole.
Blond, petite, weepy?
That's the one. So, Stoller
and Nicole have worked at the same telemarketing center
in Waikiki for the last six months.
Well I doubt that's just dumb luck.
Maybe she told Stoller about her boyfriend's side hustle?
And that's how he knew when and where to make a big score.
Okay, you two track down Nicole.
See how Joe fits in.
All right.
JESSE: Ah, poor Jake.
He's giving me the cold shoulder over
our camping trip.
Hey, you know, I...
I wasn't looking at that New Dawn brochure for me.
Okay.
Why not?
I-I don't think it's my thing.
Look, everyone needs someone to talk to.
Yeah.
[doorbell chimes]
Not again.
This is gonna be interesting.
I told you everything.
Not here for you.
What do you mean?
We know about your friend at the call center.
You've got to be kidding me.
You... you don't understand. I...
I had no idea.
He said he was going to kill me if I said anything.
Markus?
Then who?
I'll go talk to the marina manager,
find out which boat is Denton's.
All right, I'll take a look around.Okay.
Ethan Denton?
I'm Agent Tara with NCIS.
Yeah, I spoke to your colleague earlier.I know.
Just, uh, have a few more questions about Joe Pitt.
I got a charter leaving at sunset,
but I can answer some questions if...
You mind helping me out?
Yeah, sure.
Still haven't found him, huh?No.
And I'm afraid the situation's become more urgent.
Sounds like Joe's got himself into some trouble.
Well, we have reason to believe that he may have fallen in
with a bad crowd.
People who manipulated him into committing a crime.
You mind, um, passing that down?
Yeah. Sure.
Here you go.
Thank you.
[sighs] So, uh,
did Joe ever mention a Markus Stoller?
Hmm, doesn't sound familiar.
Markus involved in this robbery you're talking about?
I never mentioned a robbery.
[chuckles] Didn't you?
Looking for this, Ethan?
Joe, it's Lucy. Remember?
Yeah, I-I know.
He was getting this gun to kill you.
Joe, you're confused.
Shut up! You're a liar!
Ethan was with you
when you robbed the store, wasn't he?
Said I could help him get his g-grandma's stuff back.
Said that the store owner had stolen it.
No one would get hurt.
That's insane.
It was for the cause, right?
Ethan shot the clerk?Yes.
Said there couldn't be any witnesses.
He wanted Markus to shoot me, too.
ETHAN: That's crazy.
He's crazy.Then what are you doing with these, Ethan?
Stop lying!
Hey, Joe, it's okay. I believe you.
I believe you, Joe. Okay?
He tricked me. And he made me into a murderer.
That is not what you are.
You are not a murderer.
You were protecting yourself from Markus.
You were manipulated into all of this.
But if you pull that trigger right now, that all changes.
I-I just...
Be the Joe I know you are.
Okay?
The Joe who called me for help, remember?
Okay.
[grunting]
[gunshots]
I turn my head for one minute.
Thanks.
He-he said he brought his grandmother's ring
into the store so he could pay for her surgery.
Said the owner refused to give it back.
He needed that money.
And he convinced you to break in and get it back.
He just wanted me to help open the safe.
Said we were getting his ring back and that was it.
And I believed him 'cause we're always being taken advantage of.
We?
Vets like us.
Joe, Ethan wasn't even a vet.
He lied to you about everything.
He was my only friend.
What happened after Denton shot the store clerk?
Said we'd go to the police to tell them everything.
Instead, he took you to the beach.
I realized he was lying.
He was gonna kill me.
So... so I went at him
and we-we fought,
and I-I shot him before he could shoot me.
I'm in a lot of trouble, aren't I?
Well, you'll have to answer some questions,
but we'll sort it out.
It's gonna be okay.
You helped us and we're gonna help you.
Thank you, Marissa.
I knew you'd always be there for me.
Yeah. You're welcome, Joe.
Take care of yourself, okay?
Okay.
Hey, you.
Hey. Doing okay?
Yeah. I'm just glad you're all right.
You were right to believe in him, Lucy.
You may have even saved his life.
I'm proud of you.
Then why does it feel so bad?
[knocking]
I come in peace.
Scott.
And soufflé.
I-I thought after my, uh, abysmal performance
last night, the least I could do is bring you some chocolate.
You talked to Heather.
I did. [chuckles]
And I swear, I'm not here to ask you out again.
I just wanted to apologize
for being such a snooze.
Um... I get nervous
and I talk about teeth.
A lot. It's a known problem.
I'm sorry, too.
Why? You were lovely.
No, I could have tried harder.
I don't really date much,
and I just...
I wasn't in the headspace for success.
Well, no hard feelings.
And hey,
if you ever need a periodontist,
I will give you the friends and family rate.
[laughs]
Hey.
Since you're here.
It is a whole soufflé.
I can't finish it myself.
You sure?Yeah.
And there's no rules against being friends, right?
Okay. But I warn you: I grow on people.
Kind of like plaque?
[laughs]Hmm?
All of them, Ernie.
How could you even tell?
I hear the buzzing.
Now what do I do?
You sit there with your own thoughts and feelings.
No other distractions. Got it?
Yes. Fine. Good night.
[exhales]
Nope.
[exhales] Geez. Just...
[grunts]
[sighs]
Hey.
Next time you'll try for a whole minute.
Hungry?
I hear there's a new Thai place in Waimanalo
that has a singing Elvis.
Oh, yes, please.
Jake, come on, buddy. Let's go.
It's too late to go camping.
I already unpacked.
You kidding me? It's a beautiful night.
We got all the time in the world.
But it'll take hours just to get to Peacock Flats.
We're not going anywhere.
♪ I can see you them all... ♪
Whoa!
Yeah, I brought the camping to us.
Now, we could
invite your sister. It sleeps up to three.
Nah. We deserve a guys' night.
All right.

Delaware?
Come again?
Where you're from.
It's a game I like to play.
I've never seen you in here before, so,
I'm thinking Delaware.
Mm. You're close, actually.
D.C. I'm just in town for a meeting.
Heard they do a good burger here.
Yeah, it's pretty good.
Mmm, but their wings.
That's their secret weapon.
It's... it's kind of hard to hear you.
Do you want to sit closer?
Sure.
♪ Oh, it's always here to break down all my walls ♪
Mm.
So, in D.C., I go to this place
called John's Hole in the Wall.
Uh, supposedly, where they planned Watergate.
Double patty, double cheese, smothered in Thousand Island.
Huh, you don't seem like a
"smothered in Thousand Island" type of gal.
Yeah. Well, you know, I don't seem like a lot of things.
[chuckles]Thank you.
No.What?
You didn't do that.What?
You didn't eat my fries.
It's too intimate.
We sat here and drank and flirted.
You got me all worked up with your Thousand Island comment.
[laughs]
Is what we're doing silly?
No.
We're reenacting the first night we met.
It is...
It's the perfect non-anniversary.

what is Watergate?
[laughing]
RONNIE:Okay, that takes care of old business.
Uh, and thanks again, Gary,
for the malasadas.
Now, we have a new member with us tonight.
[clears throat]
Hi. Um...
Uh, my-my name is Kai.
Uh, former staff sergeant
with the 3rd Assault Amphibious Battalion.
Welcome, Kai.
What brings you here tonight?
It's time.
It's time I talk to people.
