NCIS: Hawai'i

Mm-hmm.

Get down!

Morning, boss. Morning.

Thank you. What are we looking at?

Shooting. Three victims.

One of them is John Oyama.

Former Gunner's Mate Third Class.

Former?

We don't usually get called in for people

separated from service.

Except this isn't exactly normal.

John was the subject of an investigation

out of the NCIS office in Yokosuka, Japan.

What was he getting investigated for?

Some kind of theft.

What was John doing out here?

HPD's questioning a witness.

We're hoping to find out.

The shooting took place around 3:00 a.m.

I always say nothing good happens that late.

I wouldn't know anymore. I'm normally passed out

after bedtime stories.

Hagrid impression takes it out of me.

: You're a wizard, Harry.

These are .223 casings.

Likely from an assault rifle.

Yeah, the tread suggests

that the killer fled on motorcycle.

Probably a sport bike based on the tire size and burnout.

Forensics said the same thing.

Dad hunted subs and he rode a Ducati 916.

Badass. Like father, like daughter.

What are you thinking, boss?

All this reads like a gangland murder.

I'm not answering any questions

until I have my attorney present.

You said they were interviewing a witness.

Nobody told me it was Pike.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Excuse me, this is...

Connor O'Shea, Port Manager.

And I refuse to speak without counsel present.

If you're done processing him, we'll take him

for questioning, thank you.

Are you okay?

Follow-up question.

Why are you acting like an insane person?

I really appreciate all your concern.

But it is my constitutional right

to have counsel present at all times.

All right, you heard the man.

Let's get him a lawyer.

You have the right to remain silent.

And please, for everyone's sake, do.

Hey, boss.

What's with the... ? About to find out.

Ow. Okay, start talking.

Okay, as port manager,

it's my right... As...

Special Agent Neil Pike.

Sorry, I apologize.

It's habit. I was undercover.

Yeah. I figured out that part. Deep under.

Like, it's kind of hard to remember

who Neil Pike is anymore.

How long has it been?

Three days?

Right.

Neil? Yeah?

Why were you in that room last night?

Because a dock worker reported

being greased by some Yakuza dudes

about helping them smuggle in goods, so I went

under to find out more. Yakuza?

As in the organized crime syndicate out of Japan.

Yes, but then that means that our former sailor

was working for them.

Any idea why somebody would ambush that meeting?

They just said they were trying to smuggle in cigars.

Okay, people don't usually kill other

people for cigars. Well, it depends.

I mean, some cigars are pretty nice.

DoD weapons.

Gunner's Mate Third Class John Oyama

was accused of stealing ...50 cal machine guns

destined for his ship.

Wow.

That is a lot of heavy-duty firepower.

NCIS at Yokosuka

couldn't pin him for it, but they never

found the weapons, either.

He could've been trying to smuggle them here.

Okay, even if this is about weapons,

triple homicide seems... big.

Any leads on who might've pulled that trigger?

Not yet. I'll follow up with HPD.

Thanks. Well, that still leaves the missing

giant, scary machine guns.

You think Connor O'Shea can set up

another meeting and find out where they are?

Connor O'Shea is a closer.

Whoo!

Okay. He's also kind of a "whoo" guy.

Yeah, okay, come on, let's

get you to Ernie's office and set up that meeting.

Okay. Sorry about the "whoo." It's fine.

Hey!

Got extra if you like.

This isn't a social call. I know.

This is about you siccing the FBI on me.

Because you're using local businesses to launder money.

I'm helping local businesses survive.

And you murdered the Koa brothers.

You wearing a wire?

Did you get my dad mixed up in this?

The FBI's investigating him, too?

Not quite sure what irony is, but I feel like we're there.

Now is not the time for jokes.

You really think Unko Wally would break the law?

No. But you definitely did.

You loaned him money, you took advantage of him.

Think you're akamai, got it all figured out.

And you think you're one step ahead.

You find

a local business that's struggling,

and you worm your way in. He came to me.

No.

No, there's no way my pops shows up

hat in hand asking for money.

Asking for help.

And I did.

Because that's what friends do.

You came here wanting to be mad at me,

but maybe I'm not the one you should be mad at.

And the meeting is... set.

They're sending a location soon.

Nice job, Pike. Who are you meeting with?

The head honcho this time, Kenji Sato.

Ikuzo.

What? Nothing.

Just the, uh, Japanese.

You think it's strange I know Japanese? No.

That's super cool. Mm-hmm.

But you think I only know

Japanese because I'm so

into anime, don't you?

Excuse me. Yeah, that sounds about right.

Well, actually, it all started

in the winter of '96 with a seminal home-stay

in Niigata.

The Kurota family welcomed me into their home,

nestled deep in the valley next to Hakkaisan...

Yada, yada, yada. Now you're testing fate a second time

in two days to try to take down

a Yakuza crime syndicate. It's funny how life works.

Come again.

Well, you narrowly escaped death less than 12 hours ago.

And now you're going back in again.

This time with the head of the gang.

Someone I'm guessing you wouldn't want to meet.

Kenji Sato.

Been arrested for criminal mischief and aggravated assault.

That's just the stuff he got caught for.

You have guts, my friend.

Okay.

I am making a terrible mistake.

No, no, no. All you're doing is

meeting and getting information about a shipment.

And you'll have us

with you. Right, Ernie?

Yeah.

Okay. Nano earbud.

Button cam.

As long as you have your Bluetooth signal

and your shirt...

we'll have eyes and ears on you at all times.

See?

Okay.

Okay.

They send the location for the meet?

Yep.

Great. Remember.

Eyes and ears on you at all times.

Yeah, um, about that...

Oh, please tell me you guys

found a way to hear me.

Hey, man. You okay?

Yeah, I just never been good with these things.

‘cos I am alone and it is very awkward.

Like, where do I even wait? Okay, that's the best we're gonna get.

I told Pike we’d be there for him.

We have any way of knowing when to go in?

I mean, how do you say

"no clue" in Japanese?

Not again.

You know, Boom-Boom would've been able to make it work.

Not all of us can be Boom-Boom.

Got it, got it.

I think that's our cue to go in.

Hey, Pike, you all right?

You're all right, you're all right.
