NCIS: Los Angeles

Go.

Kate,

you know you're just running away from yourself.

No.

No.

Come on, come on. No.

Have you done frog's pose?

I've done the crane, the downward dog,

cobra the snake, but no, never done the frog.

Okay, so we're gonna work deep into the body.

Yep. Opening our hips.

Opening hips. By getting into a nice...

deep... straddle.

Wow, deep straddle.

That's a crowd-pleaser.

Deeks, I warned you.

You know my work rule.

If you joke, this is over.

What are you talking about? I'm just saying

that it feels good to open the hips.

You know, to get a nice deep straddle...

at work.

Pelvis towards the ground.

I'm putting my pelvis towards the ground.

Iliac crest as low as it can go.

Not sure what that is.

Clear your mind and focus on one intention.

One intention.

Deeks?

What?

Focus.

I am, I'm focusing on your iliac crest.

Maybe you need some help. No, I don't need any help.

Maybe you do. No, I feel like I'm doing pretty good.

I think you do.

I think you need some help. Get away from me.

Put your feet together. My feet are together. I don't...

Oh, just breathe through it. Yep.

Just push your hips down.

I don't think man is supposed to bend like that.

You can go further.

No, I think I just heard something snap.

Okay, if there's a safe word in yoga, I'd like to know it,

'cause at this point I'd like to say it.

You okay? Ow! Spatula.

Oh, spaghetti! Banana!

Okay, I hate to interrupt whatever's going on here,

but you're needed in Ops stat-- we have a case.

Perfect.

Let's go.

Oh.

This is David Ramsey.

Oh, he's rocking a Clash T-shirt.

A man after my own heart.

He's a former DARPA engineer.

He left the DoD after his brother died of leukemia.

He then moved to Los Angeles

and joined the Church of the Unlocked Mind.

- Those guys. - Yeah.

Those guys.

All aboard the crazy train.

Now, the church's main headquarters are in Los Angeles,

but they have branches all over the world.

The DoD wants David tracked

because they feel he may be psychologically vulnerable.

And because he knows the secrets

to some of the DoD's most cutting-edge technologies,

including the Extreme Accuracy Tasked Ordinance, aka EXACTO,

aka a .50 caliber guided bullet.

No line of sight needed to commit an assassination.

Last night, David's wife, Kate Ramsey, escaped

from the church's campus, and went to the police.

So DoD believes this church is getting

classified information from David Ramsey.

For what purpose? It's not clear.

Actually, it might be coming into focus.

Miss Jones, I just sent you a folder.

Okay.

It seems the defense intelligence agency

has identified one of the church's executive members,

Marlon Ammar, meeting with a Dao Zhi--

he's a Chinese national, suspected of being a spy.

If David Ramsey and the Church of the Unlocked Mind

are selling military Intel to China,

we've got a huge problem.

That's to say the least.

Kensi and Deeks-- undercover inside the church.

Here we go.

Through the looking glass.

Find Ammar and Dao Zhi, quickly.

On it.

Mr. Callen and Mr. Hanna.

Go talk to Kate Ramsey.

She's waiting for you.

All righty.

I found out the Unlocked Mind

has already filed suit against me.

For what?

There was this older woman in the church, Barbara.

I thought I could trust her.

She's able to come and go.

She has access to one of the church's cars.

I asked her to help me escape,

and she said she would, but then...

She double-crossed you.

You hit her, and now they're suing you.

They ruin people's lives just to get them not to talk.

How long have you and David been married?

Five years.

He's the love of my life.

So why did you leave?

Lee Ashman.

The head of the church.

Yeah.

He was trying to break us apart.

I don't know why.

I had to get out.

Did they ever ask David about his work for DoD?

I don't know,

but they kept couples separate for long periods of time.

Can you protect me?

From who?

People have disappeared.

Kate, we're gonna get you to a safe place.

They're never gonna let me see David again.

He's all I have.

Now, getting into the church is easy.

We'll drop you at their center in Santa Monica.

Then they'll take you by van to their main campus in Topanga.

The real trick is getting asked to stay.

Now, they're really big on these therapy sessions.

They use a setup like this.

It's a laptop hooked up to a camera.

They'll ask you to reveal your deepest darkest secrets,

while monitoring any change in the size of your iris.

Normally, this type of ocular-movement reader

uses sophisticated software,

but here they simply have a "trained" counselor.

Mm. In other words, it's all nonsense.

Well, the good news is that "nonsense" is my middle name.

So go ahead and probe my inner mind, brother.

Why am I scared?

All right.

What was your first sexual experience?

Oh, wait, hold the probe.

Okay, as far as we can tell,

a person's willingness to reveal themselves

is the one determining factor in getting asked to stay

at the church's headquarters, so... fess up.

All right, fair enough.

Uh, there was this girl, her name was Sarah.

We were 16 years old.

And I held her hand at a party.

It was very romantic, so I went to her house the next day.

Um...

Keep going.

You sure?

Yes.

Uh, she wasn't home.

But the good news was that her mom was home.

And she was sunbathing.

And so she asked me to put some lotion on her.

And so I'm putting the lotion on her body...

- La, la, la, la. - Oh, oh, TMI.

Flag on the play. Cannot unhear that.

That was not cool.

What are you talking about? You said you wanted to know.

Is that for real? Yeah. No.

Well, yes for the character.

'Cause I'm method.

So what you're saying is it's a fantasy of yours.

No, I'm good at what I do, and what I do is undercover work.

Undercover work indeed, Mr. Deeks.

Are you seriously turning into Hetty?

'Cause you're freaking me out.

No, no, don't divert the freak to me.

Yes, it's your freak, Mr. Deeks.

Oh.

Did you hear the part about the stone-cold fox and the lotion?

Every word.

Huh, awkward.

An attorney from the DoJ is being sent here

to monitor our investigation

of the Church of the Unlocked Mind.

Why would the Department of Justice be monitoring us?

You think somebody high at the DoJ is a member of the church?

Whatever the motivation, we need to move quickly.

I want the two of you inside before he gets here.

On it. Got it.

Welcome to the Church of the Unlocked Mind.

I'm Adam. Hey, thanks.

Come inside-- we have some snacks, something to drink.

Yeah, I could use a snack, good.

You look a little lost.

Is it that obvious?

I'm Gaia.

Hi, nice to meet you.

Welcome to the best part of your life.

That sounds really good.

Come on, let's go inside.
