NCIS: Hawai'i

Raise.

Reraise.

All in, y'all.

Whoa.

Take it.

Ooh!

You are having quite the run.

Lucky night, I guess.

I'm gonna sit this next one out and...

find the ladies'.

Come on, CHAD. Come on.

Yes.

What?

Nothing.

- I like this. - The coffee? It's fair trade.

Mm-mm. Not the coffee.

Though you really can taste the transparency in the roast.

I like sitting here with you and not talking.

- Mm. - Just being comfortable

in the silence,

watching you read.

Your staring is... it's a little creepy.

Hey.

I'm happy, too.

It's great to feel like I can just be.

I've never had that.

I've always felt the need to make conversation.

Oh, yeah, totally.

Yeah, like even now, I'm not remotely annoyed

you're not paying attention.

I know how important your job is. I get it.

And I've grown to love...

like...

"Distracted Whistler."

Alexa, how long will it take to get to Pearl Harbor?

Based on current traffic, it will take

about 35 minutes - to get to Pearl Harbor. - I have to go.

Oh, well, here, I'll get you a to-go mug.

And, uh, I will be sure to return it soon.

Like, uh, maybe tonight soon?

Alexa,

is the Hau Tree open for dinner tonight?

Hau Tree will be open today from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.

Let's, uh, talk about it later.

- Have a great day. - You, too.

Rowan. Miles.

Harper. Holden.

Kai. Dalia.

Dalia?

Good morning, handsome.

When I said you can't text me during the week

or after 4:00 p.m. on weekends,

that also applied to in-person visits.

Relax, Malik. I'm not here for you.

She's here for me.

Believe it or not, Ernie, everything isn't about you.

Jury's still out on that.

How can I help you, Detective Reed?

Trey Santos.

The drug dealer?

He's more of a kingpin, really.

We spent six months working with HPD on a joint task force

busting him, but this isn't about me.

Trial's starting next week.

There isn't gonna be a trial.

Key evidence is gone.

The hard drives are missing?

Well, technically, they're still there.

- But wiped clean. - My God.

Everything linking him to the operation.

Schedules, routes, encrypted financials.

I knew NCIS should have taken

those hard drives instead of the 46 kilos

of untraceable cocaine we found hidden on Navy property.

This is kind of about me.

D.A. is gonna drop charges.

Santos was released yesterday.

- That's not good. - Gets worse.

I think I know who's responsible.

And I need your help.

Detective Roy Burr.

15 years working narcotics for HPD.

History of questionable behavior.

Several Internal Affairs investigations.

Any of those investigations bring about a suspension?

No. But logs show Burr was in the evidence locker

days before we learned the hard drives were wiped.

That's not exactly a smoking gun.

Up until a few years ago, Santos was a small-time dealer

who side-hustled as a confidential informant.

That's how he built his empire.

Every time he helped take down other dealers,

he quietly took over their territory.

Here's the kicker.

Burr was the cop who turned Santos into a C.I.

Well, there's your smoke.

If Burr turned a blind eye to Santos's power grab back then...

He could easily be on the take now.

Destroy evidence against him.

Why not go to your bosses?

She doesn't know who she can trust.

Kai, see what Ernie can find on Roy Burr.

Make sure he doesn't raise any flags with HPD.

Smells good in here.

You light a candle or something?

You ever hear about midnight madness?

Flight Honolulu-to-Vegas, Hawai'i's ninth island. Why?

Roy Burr goes at least once a month.

Stays at the nicest suites downtown.

Likes to live large.

Oh, and he's got the debts to prove it.

Lot of people have debts and aren't on the take.

- Any links to Santos? - Nothing yet.

No big cash deposits

or offshore accounts.

If he's bringing money into Las Vegas,

he's leaving it at the tables.

Destroying evidence seems like a big risk

to play slots and get a comped buffet.

Well, never underestimate the mind of a gambler.

Something's there. Just haven't found it.

Or Dalia's wrong.

She would never come on just a hunch.

She's very good at her job.

Is she, now?

All right, we'll tail Burr old-school.

See what we can uncover.

It's cologne.

Dalia's here and you put on cologne.

No, it's essential oils.

- It relaxes me. - Okay.

Dry cleaner, car wash,

and now a Chinese market.

This might be the most boring

stakeout in law enforcement history.

You want to hear about a boring stakeout?

Nope, not really.

Back in D.C., dangerous fugitive escapes state prison.

All hands on deck.

I get assigned his Aunt Morrine's house in Anacostia.

Three full days I observe her sit on her couch,

eating Lean Cuisines,

watching Home Shopping Network.

She didn't even buy anything.

- Fugitive ever show up? - Nah.

They caught him on an Amtrak.

Sounds like Waiting for Godot.

Nah, his name was Ronnie.

Hey, you want to see, uh, Gracie's recital video?

It's 40 minutes,

but it moves.

You notice all these people

heading into the market?

Yeah, a lot of people

going in.

And staying.

Excuse me, uh...

This could be interesting.

This has to be a health code violation.

Over there.

Put me in here. Put me in this game right here.

Come on, man, - I'm good for it. - No more credit, Roy.

When you got the dough, then I'll let you play.

It's coming any minute.

Yeah, yeah. Right.

Yeah. I'm sure it is, like the last time.

I see him.

- NCIS! - Get down, get down!

Move, move!

What happened to "quiet surveillance"?

We followed Burr to a Chinese market

that was a front for an underground casino.

Like, a casino casino?

Like, slots and all.

He got in a heated conversation.

He received a text, rushed out in a hurry.

We caught up in time to see him take two bullets in the chest.

Did you see the driver?

Taillights of a black, unmarked SUV.

HPD's checking traffic cams.

The text, you think it was related?

Looked to me like he was being lured out.

Well, if he was involved in getting rid of evidence

on Santos's drug operation,

now would be a good time to clean house.

It was definitelya setup.

He got a message to pick up an "overdue package"

right before he was shot. Who sent it?

No way of knowing.

It was sent with an encryption app called Vesla.

We need to find out who sent that message.

- It's got to be Santos, right? - Maybe.

Who was Burr arguing with in the casino?

Name is Ike Diamond. Runs the joint.

Former Las Vegas personal injury attorney,

now... Full-time bookie.

Half the guys in my department lay bets with him.

- And he's an attorney? - Was.

The Nevada Bar Association had a thing or two to say
