NCIS

Previously, on "N C I S"...

Thermal imaging shows a pilot, two passengers.

It's got to be Merriweather and Bishop.

N C I S!

McGee, it's a trap! There's a bomb on that plane!

- Get out of there now! - Tim,

raise your hand if you can hear me.

His comms are out.

Stop! Ellie!

Nick!

You don't have to say it.

I know you had no choice.

You saved Tim's life.

Okay, this is ridiculous.

I'm gonna ask for directions.

There. Turn.

Turn! I'm doing it,

I'm doing it, I'm doing it.

I can't believe I let you drive.

Uh, how is this my fault?

- You're the navigator. - Yeah, well,

the navigation only works if you follow it.

- I miss McGee. - Oh,

believe me, if I could trade you for him right now,

I would. Hey!

That hurt my feelings.

Still no service.

Hey, don't you blame that on me.

I'm not the dude that gave you awful directions.

Yeah, well, what do you expect

with no street signs? Plus, how nervous

would you be about tipping off the Feds

about a house full of explosives?

Who you trying to call?

Look, you better hope these people can tell us

where the tree that looks like Dolly Parton is...

No, seriously.

You've been trying to get service

since before we got lost.

Just seems like an important call, that's all.

What's going on?

Oh, look.

Your favorite, a car with a popped hood.

All right, all right.

Uh...

the battery cable's fried.

Hey, this is a-a landmark.

"Notable historical site.

Sheriff's office and residence."

"1898," ooh.

I bet there was some, uh,

notable mustaches back then.

Door is open.

Hello? NCIS.

Looking for some directions.

Yeah, and you also need a new, uh, battery cable.

Wow.

Hola, serial killer.

Mm, no, this was a sheriff's place, remember?

You know, I saw a house like this

on Zillow once.

Get up, get up!

Let's go, get up! Come on!

*N C I S* Season 18 Episode 06

Episode Title: "1 mm" Aired on: January 26, 2021

Synchronized by srjanapala

Yes, I will do that.

But your first priority is you, understood?

All right, yes, you do the same.

Gibbs, that was Agent McGee.

You didn't tell me that he was released from the hospital.

And in other good news,

I didn't expect to see your shining face

- till the end of the week. - After-action report is done.

Did a show-and-tell for SECNAV and half the DEA.

All right, so Merriweather's behind bars,

McGee's on the mend and everyone has been

sufficiently briefed.

Case closed.

Now what?

Well, that's what I'm asking you, Leon.

SECNAV said there was something new?

Maybe in Norfolk?

Mm-hmm.

"Mm-hmm"?

What?

Back to the Merriweather thing.

That wasn't just any action you saw, Gibbs.

Agent Bishop was almost killed.

You shot McGee for God's sakes.

I did what I had to do.

McGee knows that.

You talked to him?

- He needs to rest. - So you didn't talk to him?

Leon, we got something new at Norfolk or what?

Yeah. Yeah, we do.

Smuggled explosives.

We intercepted this shipment,

but intel suggests that there are more out there.

- C-4? - No.

They're calling them "cocktail bricks."

It's a novel mixture.

Puts any standard explosive to shame.

Bricks are being sold on the dark web to the highest bidder.

And they ain't cheap.

They're going for upwards of 1K a pound.

- Who's doing the selling? - Two brothers from Ontario.

Names are Craig and Jesse Duncan.

There's a BOLO out wide, but their whereabouts are unknown.

Just the two of them?

Yeah, from our reports, these two are ruthless enough

to do the damage of ten.

Hey, Gibbs?

I know you're down an agent with McGee out.

But Bishop and Torres already started digging into it.

Ah.

We're good.

Okay, update, let's go!

They're definitely gone.

The Duncans have left the building.

You know, I bet they're headed to the doctor.

We hit that one guy at least twice.

Thanks to your wrong turns,

we must've been driving in circles and ended up

at the right...

...house.

Nick?

How are you moving the toilet right now?!

You know, you know what I don't get is why these guys

were operating out of an old sheriff's place.

It makes no sense.

Well, it makes all the sense.

Word on the street is you got a jail in your basement,

no one's gonna even think about coming at you.

Okay, seriously, yours is not bolted at all, right?

Okay, I'm in position.

- No way! - What?

- They took our car! - What?!

Oh, of course they did!

Of course! Of course they took the car!

Of course, because their battery cable

was fried! Okay,

just calm down.

Calm down.

All right, I took the glass out.

These bars aren't going anywhere.

- Wait, hold up. - Because, uh,

when I make it up to my window,

uh, maybe I'll, uh,

I'll rip out the bars.

Right, with your superhuman strength?

Yeah.

Mm, okay.

Okay.

Let's try something.

I have service!

I have a bar!

Damn it!

How does a bar show up and then never come back again?

Uh... you okay over there?

I really think we're stuck in here.

Wait a minute.

What?

What is it?

Ellie, we have a wall between us... what is it?

Uh... I found something.

What?

I found their explosives.

The cocktails, the ones they're trying to sell?

Yeah.

They're here.

How many?

A lot.

I mean, this is worth a fortune.

There's no way they'd leave these behind.

First chance they get,

they'll come back for them.

Whenever I think about what happened,

it's like a movie playing in my mind.

The Merriweather Meltdown.

Our team has vowed to take out drug terrorist Merriweather

and the plane is seconds from exploding...

You-you know what?

It might look better over there actually.

McGee thinks Bishop is inside.

And nothing can stop him from trying to get to her.

So Gibbs has to shoot McGee in order to save his life.

No other choice... a rock and a hard place.

The Merriweather Meltdown... I got it

the first ten times you told me.

Sorry, yeah, I keep bringing it up, I know.

I thought that, uh,

a change of scenery in here might help get

my mind off the fragility of life, but...

J, you're in Autopsy.

I don't think moving a desk is gonna stop you

from thinking about the fragility of life.

One millimeter, Kasie.

If Gibbs's second shot had been one millimeter to the left,

it would have severed the femoral artery,
