NCIS: Los Angeles

This is the person you want to talk to.

Her name is Zasha Gagarin.

Why would a Russian agent talk to us?

Kapitan Gonchgarov,

speak with me for the safety

of your crew!

You blew up the plane?

For the record, they did.

["Weight of the World" by Willow Robinson playing]

We're sorry. You have reached a number

that has been disconnected or is no longer in service.

If you feel you have rea...

We're sorry. You have reached a number

that has been disconnec...

Out of the car!

Morning.

Hey.

Do we have a case?

Not sure. This, uh,

SUV was tailing me this morning.

Any idea who it might be?

Well, that's what I'm trying to find out.

It's not the first time lately

I thought someone was following me.

Can you run this trace for me?

I got something I got to take care of.

Yeah. Yeah, of course.

Thanks. Let me know if you find anything.

Will do.

Should I alert the team?

Let's wait and see what you find.

Maybe I'm getting paranoid.

Special Agent Callen.

What brings you here today?

Routine NCIS business.

Nice seeing you again.

You're here to meet with someone

from the National Counterterrorism Center.

And you know this...?

Because I've been appointed by the ODNI

to lead the task force on foreign infiltration.

Wow.

Isn't this my lucky day.

So why do you want to see Oleg Barinov?

Guess I'm just looking for answers like everyone else.

Trying to figure out why his captain did what he did.

Defect?

There are easier ways to get here.

That is true.

This way, please.

For the record,

you're probably wasting your time.

In three months, they've never said a word.

What about to their Russian counsel?

We were never witness to those conversations.

Put your weapon and your phone here.

Were they allowed to make phone calls?

Only when they were with their counsel,

and we weren't privy to those either.

Good luck.

How you doing, Oleg?

Good to see you again.

We're good now.

I'd like to speak to my friend alone,

if that's all right.

Sit?

You looking forward to seeing your family?

Of course you are.

I'm sure they are very excited to have you back home.

Look, I was a little surprised that...

none of the rest of you wanted to seek asylum.

I think it's probably something

our government could have managed.

Maybe even arranged to have your family brought back here.

I'm not saying it would be easy,

but...

in exchange for some...

cooperation...

I'm not a traitor.

Of course you're not.

I respect that.

Do you consider your captain a traitor?

You know, he took a deal to stay here in this country.

I mean, he put you and the rest of the crew in serious jeopardy.

He could have killed all of you, the way he landed that plane.

Don't you think that was a little selfish of him?

Well...

thanks for not blowing us all up.

Have a safe trip back and, uh,

a good life, Oleg.

I mean that.

I'm done.

Agent Callen.

Captain Gonchgarov

is a true patriot.

Not much of a talker, is he?

What else can you tell me about him?

Has a son. Dima.

Wife works at a pharmaceutical lab.

We never get more than that.

Mm.

You were with the CIA prior to joining NCIS.

I was.

And you spent most of your time in Russia

during your tenure with them.

It was mostly in Ukraine.

Some people would consider that Russia.

Well, I know quite a few Ukrainians

who would disagree with you.

Hmm.

Your birth name is Grisha Aleksandrovich Nikolaev.

That's about as Russian as they come.

And I was always told it was Irish.

Your father,

Nikita Aleksandrovich Reznikov,

was a KGB agent.Yes, he was,

until he became disillusioned with the Soviet Union's ideology

and decided to work withthe CIA

to help defectors escape the Iron Curtain.

Your current girlfriend,

Anna Kolcheck, is also Russian.

Where is she?

I have no idea?

You don't know where your girlfriend is?Nope.

I'm starting to think we're broken up.

And her father,

Arkady Kolcheck,

is also a former KGB agent.

Yeah. Difficult to believe sometimes but yes.

Wow. It's like Keeping Up with the Kremlinwith your family.

Look,

I'm sorry that you and I got off on the wrong foot back there.

I know you're frustrated that you weren't able

to get through to Oleg and his crew.

I tried, too.

I don't know about the captain, but I can tell you, this...

crew, they seem like very nice young airmen

that are just trying to make a living

and want to go back home to their families.

So, trust me, they are not a threat.

Could you open the door, please?

We're not finished here.

Seriously?

What else do you want?

I want to know how long you've been working for the Russians.

Grisha.

Hey, Sam.

Hey. Where is everybody?

Uh, Kensi and Deeks had an appointment

and should be here soon.

Rountree is in San Diego giving a deposition on El Centro.

And Callen was here earlier but took off to go do something.

I tried to call him on the way in.

He didn't pick up.

That may not be good.

Why's that?Nothing.

Maybe.

I don't know.Fatima.

Okay, Callen said that he was maybe being tailed this morning,

and apparently it's not the first time as of late.

And he asked me if I could try and find the vehicle, but...

Why am I just finding this out now? Well, he wasn't certain

and-and wanted to see what I could find first.

Straight to voice mail. Where's his phone?

It's off-line.

Where's his car?

Off-line, too.Son of a bitch.

And you have no idea where he was going?No.

Sorry.

It's not your fault. He should've told you.

All right, I'm-a give Kensi and the others a heads-up.

Find the last known location of his phone or his car.

On it.

Two years ago, your missing girlfriend was in prison,

until she broke out with a fellow inmate named Kate Miller,

who-- surprise, surprise-- turned out to be

a Russian operative named Katya Miranova.

If you know that, then you also know

Anna was put into that prison as part of an undercover op.

What are the chances of me getting a coffee?

91 days ago,

members of your NCIS team made contact

with a known Russian operative.

Zasha Gagarin.

She gave us the names of the people on board the plane.

Why would a foreign spy

just give you information?

Because we paid her.
