NCIS

Paul LeMere is not a serial killer.

He was a contract killer paid to kill these seven people.

The link's got to be whoever hired LeMere.

The money originated from one of our contractor accounts.

Sonova Industries.

Sonova's main headquarters are in Virginia,

run by Sonia Eberhart.

I didn't expect your director to approve

this little field trip.Agent Gibbs.

Really looking forward to spending some time together.

You like fishing?

There is a great place in Naktok Bay.

Naktok Bay is a small fishing community

in southwestern Alaska. It's also where Sonova

is currently building a copper mine.

Gibbs ditched me and took LeMere.

FBI!

Leroy Jethro Gibbs, we have a warrant for your arrest.

Go.

Gibbs? It's Agent Parker.

Gibbs?

Clear!

Gibbs?

Let's not make this any harder than...

Special Agent McGee.

Where is he?

Who?

Don't play games, McGee.

Where the hell is Gibbs?

Um, I don't know. Did you try his cell?

It's off. Check his house?

Yeah, I did.

Something tells me he's not coming back.

Well, I don't know. But, uh, when I see him,

I'll definitely let him know that you're looking for him.

Parker's looking for you.

Grab your gear, McGee. We got work to do.

Last name Alonak. A-L-O-N-A-K.

The reservation will be under Sonia Eberhart

or Sonova Industries.

And what's the name of the boat?

And when did she charter the plane?

Thank you. Thanks.

Oh, you go? No. You go.

I know why the CEO of Sonova

flew to Alaska.

For a groundbreaking ceremony for their copper mine.

I thought they were still waiting on approval.

Well, the final construction permit went through today.

So, someone from Sonova pays a hit man

to kill people opposed to their mine,

and it still gets approved?

Well, it has to be the CEO, Eberhart.

She had the most to lose if the mine didn't get approved.

It still doesn't prove that she paid for those hits.

We have to find a way to link those payments back to her.

Gibbs wanted to speak to the father of the first victim.

Maybe we'll get a lead from him?

Libby Alonak. I tracked down her dad, Tunu.

He owns a fishing boat in Naktok Bay.

I'll call Gibbs and McGee. What's the name of the boat?

Cecilia.

You see something, boss?

Yeah. Hell of a boat.

: Yeah, right.

Oh, no. You're serious.

Well, yeah, I guess it's still afloat.

You know, Agent Gibbs,

Libby warned me this would happen.

For two years, the mainland police

kept saying she was just missing.

I knew she had passed on.

I felt it here.

There was a hole.

Emptiness.

It won't go away.

Yeah, you're right. The pain never leaves your heart.

But neither will she.

You suffered such a loss?

How did you get through the day?

Some days, I don't.

Mr. Alonak...

Tunu. Please, call me Tunu.

Tunu. You, uh, you said that Libby told you

that she was in danger?

The last time we spoke, she was pretty scared.

Somebody threw a rock through her window.

Put a bullet in her mailbox.

She know who was threatening her?

You've heard of Sonova Industries?

Yeah. We know about the mine.

That damn dirty mine poisoning Naktok Bay.

You think Libby could've stopped it?

I think her article could have.

What article?

You don't know?

She wrote a piece

exposing all of Sonova's lies,

but she disappeared

before it could ever get published.

What lies, exactly?

About the toxic waste that the mine

was gonna dump into the Miska River.

It's the world's last salmon run,

and once that mine gets built, there's gonna be none.

And she promised me once the article came out,

Sonova would never get the permits.

You need to find Libby's article.

You'll see the truth.

Libby's house was ransacked.

Pretty safe bet that her killer made that article disappear.

No.

My daughter was too clever.

She would have kept that article in a safe place.

It's still out there somewhere.

I know it.

My little Libby.

Can you bring her home to me?

She deserves a-a proper burial.

Director.

You wanted to see me?

You know, I figured you'd want to talk to Gibbs.

But you put a warrant out for his arrest?

No, actually, I didn't. The Bureau did.

I'm just following orders.

He's a suspended agent

who stole a government vehicle. You got to be kidding me.

And kidnapped a suspect.

Oh, come on, Parker.Who later died

under mysterious circumstances.

The guy blew himself up.

And whose fault is that?

You know, this would be a lot easier

if you just ordered Gibbs to turn himself in.

Gibbs is not an active agent.

Doesn't take orders from me anymore.

I can't order him to do anything.

Then call him as a friend

and ask him to get his ass out of hiding.

Gibbs doesn't hide.

Then where is he?

Hello, Leon.

Gibbs. How you doing?

I'm headed to Alaska.Yeah.

I know.

Going to this little town called...Ah.

Ah, don't say another word.

After what you did,

taking off with the suspect in Parker's car,

the FBI's gonna want to talk to you.

And when they can't find you, they will come to me,

and I won't lie.

I wouldn't want you to.

Here.

Brought you something you could use

for your trip up north.

Satellite phone.

Thank you.

Really appreciate this.

I could use one more thing.

McGee.

I know.

He wouldn't fit in the bag.

Well, it had a good run.

You okay?

I wanted to say thank...

I wanted to say thank you, Leon.

For everything.

Come on, give me something.

He's in Alaska.

Where in Alaska? He didn't say.

Well, Alaska doesn't really help me,

does it, Director? It's a pretty big place.

Yeah, it's bigger than most countries.

Where's McGee?

He's on personal leave.

And I'm guessing this leave happens to be in Alaska?

Rumor had it he was headed up that way.

What are they doing there?

Tracking down the suspect in the serial murders.

I thought the suspect blew himself up.

Not before he gave Gibbs a clue.

What kind of clue?

The kind that takes you to Alaska.

You know, I thought the FBI was in the business

of chasing actual criminals. But hey,

the minute Gibbs gets back to D.C.,

you can serve that warrant.

Thanks for the advice, but the FBI doesn't wait around.

I'll go to Alaska and bring him back myself.

Good luck finding him.

Our long wait is over!

Underneath our feet

lay millions of tons of copper ore,

and we will extract it,

creating hundreds of new jobs.

Yes!

Let's dig this mine!

Big day, huh?

What a surprise.
