Situation urgent.

Request permission to land, over.

He's trying to land on our flight deck.

Cessna 7, Echo, Mike.

This is Tower CVN-68.

Do not approach. do not approach.

This is a United States Navy vessel. Do you copy?

Sergeant Duke Lukela.

Thank you, Steve.

We both know if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be here.

It's a great pleasure for me

to see you back in this uniform, Sergeant.

Thank you. Couple people here

want to talk to you, Duke.

Commander McGarrett?

Yes, ma'am?

NCIS Special Agent Emma Warren.

I'm sorry to chase you down like this,

but someone from your headquarters suggested I might

find you here.

No problem, Agent Warren. What can I do for you?

I'm afraid I have some bad news.

Now, we've been piecing together Mr. Rodes's movements

over the past few days, and as far as we can tell,

you were the last person who saw him alive.

Yeah, uh...

I-I had drinks with him,

I don't know, two days ago. He was here on a job, I think.

Did he share any details with you?

No.

Okay.

Look, I don't want to jump to any conclusions,

but when a gun for hire turns up dead on a plane

with a bullet in him and a baby on board,

I have to consider every possibility.

Such as?

Well, that your friend, Carson Rodes,

may have been involved in a kidnapping.

Okay.

Let me just be very clear with you right here.

I was on teams with this guy.

We were downrange together two tours.

I know this man; this is a good man you're talking about.

He may have been a good man, Commander.

But I can't say the same for the people he took jobs for.

His last three contracts were in Venezuela,

Somalia and Bosnia. - Yeah.

And for some pretty sketchy individuals.

Okay. You identify the kid yet?

Identify the kid, all right? And talk to the parents.

'Cause I guarantee you, they will clear this up.

Look, I understand that this is difficult for you.

And I'm gonna do everything I can

to find out what happened without jumping

to any conclusions about your friend.

- Okay. - I will even keep you in the loop

as much as possible, Commander. - Thank you.

But in return, you have to do something for me.

What's that?

Back off and let me do my job.

Got it.

Okay.

- Thank you. - I'll be in touch.

Okay.

Adam.

Wha-What are you doing here?

I live here.

What are you doing here?

I was just watering the plants.

You know, like you told me to while you and Kono were gone?

Remember?

It's over.

What's over?

Kono left me.

What happened?

Well, after all I went through with Jesse, her death...

that changed me.

When I went back to Kono, I f-found that she changed, too.

Her job had become everything to her.

And there we were.

Two different people,

just trying to pretend it still worked.

She was just the first to say it.

That it was over.

I'm so sorry.

Yeah.

I need to lie down.

God, I thought that was it for me.

No, I knew you'd be back to fight another day,

but listen, do you remember the look on that interpreter's face

when that light came on? - Yeah. We thought he said

he'd never jumped before; it turns out he never...

- He'd never been in a plane. Period. - ...been in a plane.

When those doors opened, he was clawing at me like a cat

trying to get out of a bath.

That was the most terrifying tandem jump of my life.

Wasn't that guy sick all over you?

- Twice. - Twice, right.

It's good to see you, brother.

You, too, buddy.

Especially when you pick up the tab.

Which is only fair, considering how many times

I pulled your chestnuts out of the fire.

Is that right? You know, it's funny.

The beer must be especially strong this afternoon,

'cause I-I'm struggling to remember

when you pulled anything of mine... - What about Fallujah?

...out of the fire-- - Fallujah's a beautiful city.

- What about Fallujah? - No, no, no, no. The tape trick.

Who do you think taught you that?

Son of a bitch. You taught me

the tape trick. - Yes, sir.

I totally forgot about that.

You know, I just used that move recently in Sarajevo.

- Oh, you did? - Made me think of you.

You know, that is the sweetest thing

you've ever said to me.

You know that?

So, what you're telling me is that you came

all the way to Honolulu

to tell me how much you miss me, is that right?

Sure. Something like that.

All right. Tell me something, brother.

How's life? You living right?

- I make good money. - Yeah.

I don't always work for good people,

but, you know, sometimes you just got to do the job.

Do you?

I'm just saying, I distinctly remember

making you a job offer which, uh,

which still stands, by the way.

Oh, and I appreciate that, my brother, I do.

But me and law enforcement? Not a good fit.

- Oh, yeah. - Too many rules.

- Oh, yeah. - Plus, I could never

take orders from you.

Mm. I'll tell you right now,

the only thing I'm ordering this afternoon is a cab.

Listen, let's not, uh, let's not wait another six years

before we do this again, all right?

Yeah.

My man.

Great to see you.

You, too.

I'm sorry for your loss, Commander.

Thank you. Um...

I appreciate you letting me pay my last respects here.

This may be NCIS's case, but they can't control

who comes in and out of my office.

Yeah.

These, um, these Carson's things?

Yes.

Uh, we know that you can't let us near that stuff, Noelani.

It's okay.

Oh, uh, actually, I just remembered

I need to make a phone call.

Um, it's personal, so I'm gonna take it out there.

It'll take me about two or three minutes,

and that should be enough time...

uh, for my phone call.

Thanks, Noelani.

Thank you.

I always liked her.

All right, Carson...

let's see what you had on you when you boarded this plane.

He was staying at the Aupani Hotel.

What else? What do you got?

I got a receipt for...

baby supplies: diapers, baby wipes...

- Look at that: formula, bottles. - I know this place.

It's right by the airport. That was three days ago.

It means he must have got this right when he got to Oahu.

Okay, so-so if he lands, the first thing he does

is buy all these supplies--

it means that he did not just wind up with the baby.

It wasn't an accident.

No. He came here looking for it.

TANI, what do you got
