NCIS

for our biggest party

Gatsby Night.

No, no, no, honey. I'm just home alone.

Carol was supposed to come by,

but she hadn't even started the reading for the book club.

Big surprise.

Uh, wh-- No. No, no.

This is-- I was-- The TV...

I-I'm just watching a baking show.

And they're-they're making soufflés,

and the judges just hate them.

It was hilarious. Listen, honey, I have to go.

I love you, and I'll talk to you soon.

Attention, guests, reservations are open

for the Kids Club.

Because we all could use...

Hello?

Can someone help me, please?

I'd like to use the sauna.

Is someone in there?

I hope you don't mind sharing. I'm coming in.

It's called Bandium and it's gonna revolutionize

how we share information.

The platform's API's already integrated

with the NCIS tip line.

And I have set up custom channels

to organize each case.

Come again?

It's an app for communicating.

Oh, I wasn't aware we had issues,

- uh, communicating. We don't.

But Bandium will make communicating better digitally.

We'll be able to bounce ideas off each other,

anywhere, anytime, all in a virtual space.

Or we could just, you know...

talk to each other.

- Was this your idea? No, no.

Not my idea at all.

But I'm telling you, this couldn't hurt.

I've read a lot of good things about Bandium.

I don't know, man.

I got enough crap on my phone.

All right, what the hell? I will give it a shot.

Now, that's the spirit.

Okay, come on.

Come on.

That wasn't so bad, was it?

Ah, our first Bandium.

We got a body in a cruise ship.

That docked at Norfolk.

Look at that, we're in business.

Working already.

I hate it when Parker's right.

Get used to it.

Victim here is Navy Commander Roger Burrows.

60 years old.

He was a guest on the cruise.

- Who found him? - Another guest.

She was here for the sauna.

Most of this place was empty, though.

The other passengers and crew were on the other side

of the ship attending a party.

Nothing like this ever happens here.

I mean, this is a five-star cruise line.

We pride ourselves on having

the highest safety rating in the business.

Tell that to the dead guy.

The sauna must have malfunctioned.

It's just a horrible, tragic accident.

Maybe.

But I don't know too many people

- who wear a tux to the sauna. - No.

But, uh, guests have been known to drink

and wander into the wrong cabin.

All right, well, we'll need to look at

- the ship's surveillance footage. - Of course.

Of course, but, um...

no cameras in the spa.

You know, it's, uh, guest privacy.

You understand that.

Looks like your five-star security has a blind spot, then.

Oh, there you are.

Been wandering all over this place.

You know this thing has ten decks,

four swimming pools.

I'd like to take Victoria on a cruise, you know,

but she gets so seasick.

I know the feeling.

Ah, not a big fan of boats, either, Parker?

- No. - Well, that's not gonna be a problem on this job.

Let's see, what do we have here?

I've got second-degree burns on at least his face

and his hands.

Signs of severe dehydration.

This poor guy literally cooked in there.

So the sauna killed him.

No, not-- not necessarily.

No, you see, he's got

these two stab wounds in his neck.

Likely severed his carotid artery.

Then where's all the blood?

Uh, we have some faint smear here.

More streaks there.

Looks like somebody tried cleaning it up.

So Burrows was stabbed before he was stuffed in the sauna.

Wait a minute, wait a minute.

Uh, stabbed?

Are you saying he was murdered?

I need this ship locked down.

No guest or crew member is allowed on or off

until they're cleared.

But we're set to depart on another trip tomorrow morning.

Not anymore. We'll need access to Burrows' cabin.

I also want to interview

the guest who found the body. What's her name?

Um...

Judy Price.

Cabin 7024.

Wait, did you just say Judy Price?

Mid-60s, white hair, talks a lot?

Um, yeah, yeah, that's right.

Oh, boy.

Tim. Hey. Slow down, man.

What's going on?

Dude.

Tim.

Oh, thank God you're here.

Okay, so you know each other.

Nick, I want to introduce you to Judy Price Fielding,

my mother-in-law.

Oh, it was awful. It was just awful.

Judy... Every time I close my eyes, I-I see that

burnt up face staring at me.

Judy.

Okay, I can't do this.

There's just too much negative energy.

I've got to, like, clear my mind, be here now.

Judy. Ah.

Where are my chakra stones?

- Judy. Judy. - What?

Sit down for me, okay?

What are you doing here?

The security officer told me

to come back to my cabin and wait.

She said something to do with contaminating the crime scene?

No, no, no. I mean here, as in on the cruise ship.

Oh. I'm-I'm just vacationing, of course.

Okay, you realize you never told me and Delilah

that you were going on a cruise, right?

I didn't? Could've sworn I did.

Oh, I guess it slipped my mind.

You know how we old people are.

You talked to Delilah on the phone last night.

Told her you were at home watching a baking show.

Okay. I just didn't want Delilah to know about this whole cruise.

You know how she gets.

No, I mean, I love my daughter.

I love her to death, but she can be

just so overly protective.

You know, she panics the moment I'm out of range.

But getting back to our murder investigation,

we do have some questions we need to ask you, Mrs. Fielding.

Oh, Judy.

Please. Everyone calls me Judy.

Okay, Judy. Uh...

The man you found in the sauna, his name was Roger Burrows.

Yes, they told me that last night.

Horrible.

Had you seen him on board at all?

Maybe talked to him?

Maybe once or twice, you know, like, on the deck.

Just a few hellos.

So, is that it? Am I done?

Well, we're, uh, we're gonna need a written statement first,

but, uh, w-we should be able to release you soon after that.

Okay. This whole thing of me being on a cruise,

that could just stay between us, right?

Because there's no reason to bother Delilah with it.

Judy,

you know I can't do that.

Of course I have to tell Delilah.

Okay, okay.

I'm just worried about how she'll react.

You think?

No, of course I didn't know about the cruise.

I just found out about it myself.

I understand. I have no idea why she didn't tell you, Delilah.

Yes. Okay. Yes.

Yes.

Yes. Yes.

No. Yes.

Yes, okay.

Bye.

Delilah didn't take it well?

Dude, 2,000 people on that ship,

and Delilah's mother is the one that finds the body.

What's the beef between them?

Well, you met Judy. You know, she's...

a very free spirit type.

And Delilah's not down with it?
