10:03 pm
the ballistic missile was stolen from a russian naval air base ten years ago. most likely, it was later sold on the black market for its uranium payload. the uranium, which is missing? we believe it's been repurposed to make a dirty bomb. (sighs) do we know who or what the target is? no, but i've alerted the fbi and the local authorities. and what do we know about the bomb maker? parker: peter turso. he's been on the atf watch list for years, and turns out that running an audio repair shop was just a side hustle. his main business is building and selling illegal weapons to various extremist groups. obviously, whoever hired turso to make them a dirty bomb came to collect and killed him afterwards. no loose ends. do we know who hired him?
10:04 pm
we're still working the scene. we found turso's encrypted hard drive, so once we break into it, hopefully it'll give us something. how did you learn about turso and the bomb? alexander renard left a clue to the location, and he probably kept it as insurance in case you guys reneged on his deal. yes, but how did you even know about the clue to begin with? webb told us. you've been in contact with one of my officers and didn't tell me? why? webb thinks there's a leak inside the cia. hillcot (laughs): that's ridiculous. webb is being paranoid. we already told you, the breach came from the french side. and you confirmed that? we're in the process, yes. webb doesn't know what he's talking about. parker: maybe. then again, he did lead us to the bomb in the first place. did webb say who he thought the leak was? no. then right now it's just idle speculation. and with a bomb loose in our city, director, i think you'd agree, we have more pressing matters at hand. agreed.
10:05 pm
webb: so, there's a bomb loose in d.c.? unfortunately, yeah. we're looking for it now. damn it. i was afraid something like this was gonna happen. what about the bomb maker? did you find anything that could i.d. his killer? not yet. i did find a cigarette butt near the body. i ran the dna from it, and unfortunately it wasn't in our system. can you trace the cigarette brand? bilson brand. available on every corner. we just can't catch a break, can we? webb? you still there? yeah. yeah, i'm here. um, speaking of more bad news, we've got a larger audience listening in. the cia found out we're talking. i'm sorry, we had no choice. that's all right. if you guys can't find me, neither can they. the more the merrier. good. yeah, 'cause i was thinking of turning this into a regular podcast. the kasie & webb show. (chuckles) yeah, i like it. we could take calls from the audience,
10:06 pm
answer questions. (laughs) yeah. hey, webb? uh... can i ask you a question? uh, call me eric. i think we're beyond formalities. okay, eric. why won't you come in? and don't say it's because you don't trust anybody, because you obviously trust me. i told you before, i got something to do. does this something include finding the bomb by yourself? i know about what happened in spain. you blame yourself for the bombing, don't you? that's why you took the safe house job, so you could hide away from the world. but now that there's another imminent attack, you think if you can stop this bomb, you can somehow redeem yourself. i knew you were smart. no, i just... i know a little something about blaming yourself.
10:07 pm
yeah? tell me. oh, no, it's nothing like your thing. it's just like stupid, personal stuff. no, come on, that's not fair. you get to psychoanalyze me and then take a pass? no. in the past five years, i have been in... ...three failed relationships. and i have come to realize the common denominator is me. i am the reason they didn't work. it's my fault that i am all alone. and instead of working on it, i just bury myself in my work... (chuckles) ...all alone in my little basement lab. oh, my god. i sound so pathetic. looks like we've both been hiding. (sighs)
10:08 pm
accountant dragon lady, nine o'clock. agent torres... okay, i'm gonna stop you right there, barbara. okay, i know i bailed on you on the whole walk-a-mile day, and you're pissed. i-i actually wanted... but i'm just a little busy right now. we're looking for a dirty bomb, so i'm sorry, but accounting is just gonna have to wait. no, you misunderstand. i just wanted to say thank you. i'm sorry, say what? i was reviewing your spreadsheets, and they are... (sighs) breathtaking. really. a work of art. you have a gift. um, yeah, okay. if you ever decide you don't want to be an agent anymore, the accounting department would welcome you with open arms. work of art? you never told us you were a closeted math whiz. mcgee, it just doesn't fit my image.
10:09 pm
oh, i don't know, nicholas torres, cpa. kind of has a nice ring to it. can we just focus and find a bomb, please? (phone rings) parker: give me good news only. are we any closer to finding the bomb? i spoke to fbi and d.c. police. they are searching for any suspicious vans or trucks, but so far nothing. knight: and i've been reviewing the various message boards of extremist groups, and there hasn't been any chatter of the bomb yet. what part of "good news only" did you not understand? all right, thank you. and good work. got something. tech trolls finally finished decrypting turso's hard drive. last month he received a six-figure payment from an offshore account. six figures? that's, uh, that's pricey for fixing an old radio. the trolls traced the payment, and get this, the account was funded through a cia slush fund. so webb was right about the leak. the cia's behind all of this. do we know who set up the account? uh, tech trolls are working on it. it'll take some time. well, time is what we don't have. just keep pushing. (phone rings) jimmy, i'm on my way. (elevator bell dings)
10:10 pm
kasie: oh, hey. here's the results from all the prints we found on the missile. they all belong to turso, so... when was the last time you got some rest? between working in the lab and talking to webb, you're running yourself ragged. no, i'm fine, parker, really, i'm more hungry than anything. okay, take a break, grab some food. we can manage without you for a bit. but webb... if webb calls back, we'll patch him through to your cell. now go. you're no good to us like this. (kasie yawns) what's up, jimmy? well, i've got a time of death. turso here was shot and killed about a half hour before torres and knight showed up, so... they just missed the killer. yup, and cause of death is pretty apparent. single gunshot wound to the head, and he died instantly. so, you find anything else? yes, uh, dna under his fingernails, probably from fighting off his killer. kasie ran it, and it does match the dna found on the end of that cigarette butt,
10:11 pm
but unfortunately... it's not in our system. okay, thanks, jimmy. oh, i almost forgot. uh, the bullet that killed turso came from a glock 19, same gun as webb's. webb never told us that he was at turso's shop. parker, you're not gonna believe this. what? the trolls managed to figure out who paid turso for the bomb. it was eric webb. it's his name on the offshore account. you're telling me webb isn't trying to stop the bomb? he's the guy behind it.

10:15 pm
so, webb paid the bomb maker? his name is on the offshore account. we also believe that he's behind the ambush at the safe house. i spoke to the cia. they said that, as a house sitter, webb had access to the cia database. he would have known in advance who was being brought in for questioning. once he learned that alexander renard
10:16 pm
was coming in, could have easily orchestrated that ambush. but why? renard knew about webb's bomb plan, so webb took him out. so all this time we had the son of a bitch on our phones and never knew. have you told ms. hines yet? i understand that the two of them have gotten close. no, i sent her out for food. i'll tell her when she gets back. she is not gonna take it well. well, hell, i'm not taking it well. webb played us. do you have a motive? we spoke to an ex-agent that worked with webb during the spain bombing. he said that webb did not quit ncis afterwards, that he was pushed out. parker: apparently, webb got vocal about, uh, how he believed the agency screwed things up. he got aggressive, said some things, so they let him go. knight: i hate to interrupt, but we have a problem. kasie never came back from the diner. what? when she didn't answer any of my phone calls, i went over to check up on her. a waitress said she saw kasie arguing with a man, and then they left together. was it webb? i showed the waitress his photo, and she confirmed it's him. webb has kasie.
10:17 pm
sit. that's it? you haven't said one word the whole ride up, and that's all you're gonna say? there's no time. oh, how about you make time? how about you start by explaining why you lied to me? you killed renard and that bomb maker, didn't you? you've been lying to me this entire time. everything will be clear soon. oh, spoken like a true psychopath. what you gonna do? kill me? i would like to see you try. do not move, bro. i will shoot you. don't do it. works better with this. i was never gonna kill you. i need you to help me with something. kasie hines. h-i-n-e-s.
10:18 pm
last seen with our suspect eric webb. yeah, i get it, curtis, just keep pinging her cell. kasie's phone's got to be somewhere, right? okay, thank you, officer. virginia pd said a man matching webb's description broke into a high school chemistry lab a few hours ago. stole a bunch of chemicals, equipment. for what? webb's got a bomb. maybe he wants to alter it in some way. make it, make it more lethal. well, that would explain why he needs kasie, a scientist. i looked around the diner. kasie's car is still there. he didn't take it. webb's too smart for that. it'd be easy to track. he must've stolen a car. did you find any other clues at the scene? that's the problem. i found tire marks, little soil, a torn receipt. you know, all this evidence, but no forensic examiner to, uh, analyze them. well, if we don't have kasie, then we're just gonna have to build her. all right, we need to identify the car webb stole using this evidence only. go. tire size looks big, probably an lt235. definitely a larger car.
10:19 pm
yeah, it's definitely a unique, uh, tread there. you see the cross pattern? good catch, tim. could be a titan brand, which are mostly used on vans and smaller trucks. going by the size of this tire, i'd say you're definitely looking at a pickup truck. a commercial pickup truck. this dirt ain't dirt. see these white flecks, sort of like dandruff? these are crystallized mineral deposits only used in high-grade fertilizer. louis likes to use it on the outdoor plants, and it's not the everyday kind of stuff that you can buy at a store. it's professional-grade. that pickup truck is used by a landscaping company. a company located outside of d.c. the merchant code on this receipt starts with the number nine, which signifies this purchase was made for a transportation service. the amount is for $110, which is the exact cost for a monthly transit pass to pay for the toll across the potomac. and trucks ain't cheap. whatever company owns this one is probably big enough to own a fleet of trucks so they could amortize cost. barbara: i can think of one big company across the river that fits the bill, enchanted acres landscaping. that's the truck you're looking for. walk-a-frickin'-mile day.
10:20 pm
great. thanks. okay, enchanted acres just confirmed one of their trucks was stolen. luckily, it was outfitted with a lojack system. they're sending us the gps coordinates now. ready? ncis! (overlapping shouting) kasie, move. whoa, whoa, whoa, don't shoot! don't shoot! kasie, step away from him. no, you don't understand. he's not the bad guy. he's got a bomb. no, he doesn't. we have not been making a bomb in here. we have been running lab tests. i have been helping him. kase, he paid the bomber. we saw his name on the account. what you saw was a forgery. i'm being framed. and i got a pretty good idea by who. webb figured it out when i told him about the cigarette butt that we found at the crime scene. he knows someone who smokes that brand. but i had to be sure they were the killer, so i went to their house and i stole a dna sample from their trash, and i brought it to kasie to analyze. that's why i needed her help.
10:21 pm
kasie: i ran a test to see if the dna from the cigarette butt matched the dna from webb's suspect, and, guess what, it was a direct match. we know who the killer is. who is it? parker: don't you know those things will kill you? (sighs) well, harlan confessed to everything. he was on his way to plant the bomb at cia headquarters when we arrived. good timing. did he give you a reason? revenge. turns out harlan had a girlfriend who died in the bomb explosion in spain.
10:22 pm
he always blamed the cia for her death. why now? that was eight years ago. harlan was just diagnosed with late-stage lung cancer. he's dying. guess he wanted to go out with a bang and take the cia with him. well, i'm glad we stopped him. thanks to your assistance. well, i had help. and now, if you'll excuse me, i have to call the cia and explain to the deputy director how we foiled a bomb attack on her own building. i'm sure she'll appreciate that. yeah, right. kasie. can i talk to you a second? kasie: uh, sure. meet you downstairs? (sighs) listen, i... i just wanted to thank you. i don't think i could've survived out there without you. yeah, you probably could have, but it wouldn't have been as much fun. well, that's for sure. no, seriously, thanks for being there. oh, hey, you like chimichangas?
10:23 pm

well, they usually plan on being out here. he look like the outdoors type to you? no. so how'd he wind up dead in the middle of the bush, then?

it takes human error out of it - just how mitchell liked it.

[chuckles] ..they're unbreakable. i'll be sure to put that in the report. okay, so here's my pitch - mitchell's got a thing for exotic australian animals that go for big money on the black market, right? so he and his mates knock off natureland, but it all goes pear-shaped when he gets bitten by the taipan he's stealing, forcing his mates to dump his body in the bush, hoping it looks like death by snakebite, but they didn't realize that the snake wasn't from the area. how am i doing? well, it was just a pitch. when i was 16, i worked a summer

[program pings] so someone was tracking mitchell's phone. no, i think he was tracking someone else's and whoever it is, they just left the naval supply depot, heading towards mascot. -patch it through to my phone. -already have. mackey says, "good job, blue."
