NCIS: Tony & Ziva

Mom, dad, there are strange men at the house.

Don't go after the girl.

- Promise me. - I promise.

Sophie knows what to do.

She'll keep her safe.

The hospital, reigning fire, Lazar,

it all connects back to Aaron graves.

So why would Jonah markham want to take down

one of the most dangerous men in the world?

Seems like our next step is to find out.

So you grab the meat of the hand.

Now step through, twist...

apply a little pressure. There you go.

Okay, that's good.

That's good!

Breakfast is served.

For my hungry lady.

I give to you the DiNozzo scramble.

Eggs so perfect, it's like... They're magic.

What's my secret, you may wonder.

Well, what you do is you save a splash of beaten egg yolk

and at the very last moment, you add it, a flourish

of fluffness.

Didn't I show you that on TikTok?

Or did I show it to TikTok?

You're such a boomer.

Hey.

Gen x. The forgotten generation.

What's gen x?

And the joke writes itself.

Are you two getting back together?

No.

Good.

Pass me the bacon.

This is your fight, not mine.

Graves deceived you.

He used your tech to raze a refugee camp

and made you take the fall.

Your son doesn't talk to you because graves lied.

You lied to me.

From the moment you approached me.

- I freed you. - Yes,

and now I stand in your apartment, a convicted escapee.

Different prison, different bars. Thank you.

We can clear that conviction.

And reconnect you with your son.

After the trial,

my son made it clear he has no room in his life for me.

I'm not so sure about that.

What is this?

Six months' worth of chat logs.

Between "you" and your son.

You impersonated me.

He misses you.

Sounds like you were a good father.

Hey.

We're not just taking out Aaron graves.

We do that, someone else takes his place.

We are taking down reigning fire.

You're right, it's not your fight.

It's your opportunity.

We have malware dormant in their system.

But we have to get through the firewalls you designed

to activate it.

Help us, and we'll expunge your records.

Then you can reunite with your son.

Fine.

I'll do it.

This time, we'll get Aaron graves.

Please welcome to secure con

the ceo of reigning fire peacekeeping solutions,

Aaron graves.

Two types of weapons:

There's big and small.

There's the catapult or the dagger.

The warship or the sniper. Destruction or stealth.

Now, the quest is to combine these two

into the smallest package to create maximum devastation.

Small drones that can take out power, water...

You are both big and small.

You are the fucking gunpowder.

And that is exactly how we see you

at reigning fire peacekeeping solutions.

And another thing, we pay a damn sight more

than the Navy, so wa-hoo!

Jonah markham.

Mind if I...

I can't seem to get any of them to talk to me, either.

Government contracts can't match private company pay.

No, actually, I work for a private... you're NSA.

Your jacket.

It's... How do you Americans say?

"Off-the-rack?"

Not expensive enough for the private sector?

Tailors aren't expensive.

And they make a difference.

Well, then...

Martine, what tips would you give to me for approaching

Lorenzo soccoro tiera over there?

Lorenzo soccoro tiera?

- Don't. - Really?

He's supposed to be the third most talented hacker here.

Did you know he's 16?

That's young.

His father died when he was six,

and his mother left when he was nine.

He hacks to support himself and his two younger brothers.

You are very aware for someone in comms.

Maybe.

If I hadn't made it all up.

What does his past matter?

He's a child.

Give them a keyboard or a gun, if they use it to kill,

they're child soldiers.

Would you like another?

Up, you're up.

Would you be here next year?

If you have another cognac with me.

It was French... New glasses?

You don't like them?

They hide your eyes.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Would you excuse me?

Of course.

Okay.

Martine...

He's been following me since yesterday and...

well, if you don't wrap him up,

he'll leak fluids all over the carpet.

Take these.

Is your car out front or out back?

Back.

Good.

Tomorrow's rain should cover our tracks.

You never should have come to my room.

How did you know?

What?

That you're not just a bureaucrat, or...

Lorenzo soccoro tiera.

You said you made up his past, but you didn't.

You spies.

You really rely on no one ever calling your bluffs.

You're right.

I probably should have killed you.

Yeah, you should.

Was he... An assignment?

No.

A risk.

Knew him from Gabon.

He was part of a reigning fire unit

escorting a French ambassador.

I was the attaché.

One day, the ambassador wanted to go to the beach.

We went in an armed convoy.

A small boy ran out into the street and fell.

So we stopped.

It was an ambush.

The oldest couldn't have been older than 14.

Children.

We had cover, so I yelled to drive around,

but graves and his men opened fire on all of them.

Grown men killing children with no remorse.

Laughing.

And when it was over, graves yelled... Wa-hoo!

Wa-hoo.

Why did you help me?

Graves killed my family.

Jonah was easy to find.

Interpol put out a press release about his "heroic" return.

The prick went back to Paris?

And he's taking care of a fancy new house guest.

Even pixelated, he's legendary.

Why would Jonah go back? It doesn't make any sense.

He stole a hundred million from Interpol,

he faked his own disappearance, he got Lazar out of prison,

all to go back to Interpol?

We're missing something.

How does this all connect to graves?

You don't think they're going

to the reigning fire gun show, do you?

The what?

Reigning fire has an annual weapons expo.

Like a trade show for expensive new ways to kill people.

This year, it's in Paris.

In four days.

So he's back for revenge.

A dish best served parisian.

Do you think we can hack his TV again?

Sadly, no.

We got in last time because he wanted us to,

but now everything is air-gapped.

His TV, appliances, computers,

even his refrigerator is not online.

Okay. So we listen in the old-fashioned way.

We bug him.

A bullet bug would be perfect.

An old CIA specialty. I have a guy.

So do I. Mine's better.

No. Mine's the best.
