NCIS: Hawai'i

Previously onNCIS: Hawai'i...

I think there's a high-level mole

in U.S. intelligence here in Hawai'i.

Take it!

Janey, don't!

Maggie Shaw? Your best friend?

You are under arrest

for espionage and treason.

You broke my heart, Maggie.

: I know, Janey.

Did something happen to Aunt Maggie?

She won't be coming around anymore.

Are you all right?

: No, baby.

I'm really, I'm really not.

Mom, it's okay.

["Everything's Electric" by Liam Gallagher playing]

Let's go.

Kill shot, baby!

Nice job.

Let's go!

Center mass!

What the...?

Hey, boss.

Sort of wasn't expecting you today...

Inquiry doesn't start for another hour.

Plenty of time for a crime scene.

All right.

Looks like evidence of a good time.

Yeah, Marines training out of K-Bay got the morning off.

They were playing volleyball when they experienced head pain,

bleeding from the ears and vertigo.

A few of them lost consciousness.

They've all been sent to Tripler for treatment.

Those are Fleet Marine Forces Corpsmen.

Were the people affected Spec Ops?

Marine Special Operations Team.

Some are operators, the rest enablers.

Everything from intel to logistics.

Nobody else on the beach was affected.

We need to rule out anything mission related:

rapid cabin depressurization, viruses, parasites, et cetera.

I'll check with their commander,

but I got to say, I hate to root for parasites.

I ever tell you how much I hate hospitals?

I had this infection as a kid,

and I spent the whole week eating crappy food

and hooked up to machines.

The only good thing are the nurses.

And, you know, not dying.

Are you listening?Yeah, Luce.

Uh, I'm sorry that happened to you.

And I'm sorry I'm distracted.

It's just-- doesn't she work with dead people?

I am a student of the human body, soul intact or not.

My last paper was on the effect of environmental factors

on the external auditory meatus and tympanic membranes.

That's a lot of words.

Eardrums.

I wanted to see if meditative chants can heal.

Any idea what caused their injuries?

I have a "bad news, good news, more bad news" situation.

What, uh, order do you want it in?

I'm sorry, was it one bad, two good?

I'm still hung up on "auditory meatus."

Your order is fine.

Okay, bad news: There are a scary number

of natural reasons why ears bleed.

Good news: None of them are what happened here.

Bad news: I believe it might be some sort of ultrasonic wave

that disturbed the inner ear canal,

creating vertigo-like symptoms.

So, sound waves caused our victims to bleed and collapse?

Yes. How?

Well, it wasn't naturally occurring, something like

a meteorite creating an impact wave right next to them.

I suspect they would have noticed that.

So it was man-made,

like sound waves were weaponized.

Everything can be weaponized, Agent Boone.

Even love.

And what'll happen to our victims?

They'll recover completely.

But if they'd been exposed any longer,

they might have lost their hearing.

Or worse.

Special Agent Tennant.

FBI Special Agent Whistler.

You saved me a call.

I wanted to congratulate you on the new gig.

When do you start?

Just got my photo taken for my new credentials.

Pick them up tomorrow.

DIA's gonna miss you.

But if I'm being honest...

Please.

...I'm so glad you'll no longer be

coming in hot with red tape.

Yeah, I deserve that.

Still, I hope it doesn't mean we'll be seeing any less of you.

Yeah, I think the Bureau liked that I had

a good working relationship with you and your team.

Well, they're lucky to have you.

I should get to my meeting.

I know. I brought you a coffee.

It'll be a long day.

Glen Smith is in charge of the inquiry.

Bulldog.

Don't say anything you shouldn't, Kate.

Well, like I said,

haven't gotten my official credentials yet.

He'll try to make you doubt yourself.

Don't let him. Don't forget who you really are.

Have a good day, Special Agent in Charge Tennant.

You, too, FBI Special Agent Whistler.

Molecules push and pull as a sound wave moves.

Increase the amplitude,

and these opposing forces can create bubbles in the inner ear.

This is called cavitation,

a disruption in the ear canal that can cause fatigue,

nausea, even collapse.

So, it's bad.ERNIE: Well, bad" works, but

cavitation makes it sound like I know what I'm talking about.

Also, the waves are directional.

Given that nobody else on the beach was affected,

whoever did this was targeting our Marines.

Kai, Luce, what info do we have on the unit?

What?

Acting SAC Boone's time to shine while Tennant's out of pocket.

Mm. You did that so effortlessly.

One of you just tell me what the unit's C.O. said, please.

Yeah. They just returned from a two-month mission

supporting local forces against Jemaah

Islamiyah in Southeast Asia.

I checked the dark web.

None of the Spec Ops team or their enablers were doxed.

We have any anomalies?Just heard back.

One of the unit's members hasn't checked in since the attack.

Gunnery Sergeant Bryan Shepherd.

He have any issues with the team?

C.O. didn't knowof any.

Let's circle back to the Marines at Tripler,

see if they had any trouble with Shepherd, and, Ernie,

see if you can track him down.I already got it.

Bryan's not your guy.

You found that in ten seconds. How do you know?

Because he was found unconscious

in a car that swerved off the road.

Checked into the hospital with a bad case of cavitation.

Luce, you up to confronting your disdain for hospitals again?

Oof. Okay.

Ernie, Kai, find me a suspect, what caused this,

anything. Sir, yes, sir.

Uh, hey. You don't think

Tennant's gonna lose her security clearance, do you?

No way she crossed any line that would make it necessary.

Well, I-I hope you're right,

but what would happen if she did?

We don't need to go there right now.

She couldn't keep her job,

could she?You're not gonna let this go, are you, Luce?

No, no, I-I will. And...

could be losing a job isn't as bad as

being betrayed by

someone you care about.

Hard to bounce back from that.

Special Agent in Charge Tennant, right on time.

I'm Glen Smith, with the CIA's Office of the Inspector General,

and these are my colleagues Mr. Norwood,

Ms. Cartwright, Mr. Hanson, and Ms. Logan.

Hello.

Do you need anything before we begin?

No.

Then why don't you sit down, and let's get started.

I've prepared a statement.

I met Maggie Shaw

in March 2007 and remained in contact with her

until two weeks ago,

when my team discovered she had been compromised and...

Special Agent Tennant?

Yes.

I appreciate the trouble you went to

collecting your thoughts,

but I would like to approach this...

a slightly different way.

Bryan's the healthiest person I know.

Now they've induced him into a coma

to alleviate the pressure in his skull.

When was the last time you spoke to him?

He was supposed to play volleyball this morning.

Um... h-he called me to say

he had a headache and was coming home.

At first, the-the doctors thought this was an aneurysm.

Since you guys are here, I assume...

We believe he was the victim of an attack.

This has to do with the fact we're Spec Ops.

"We're"?He's a comms specialist.

I'm operational logistics.We met

taking shelter as 60 mike-mikes

were raining down on our position.
