NCIS: Los Angeles

Gentlemen,

welcome aboard.

We had quite the haul today.

Yellowtail, rockfish,

even some tuna, and it's not even the season.

I hope you pulled more from that water than just fish.

It was anchored right where you told me it would be.

Voilà. Go ahead, taste it.

You're lucky the sharks didn't.

I hope you brought my cash.

Now, we only ran into one problem.

What's that? I ain't no fisherman.

Feds! Hold it!

Freeze! Federal agents!

Damn it, Reynolds.

That's our evidence.

Yeah, I'm good, boss,

thanks a lot.

Oh, what the hell?

We got a body.

You'd better call someone.

== sync, corrected by elderman == @elder_man

I mean, a phone call would've been nice.

A text.

Hell, an-an e-mail, just so I'd know you tried to contact me.

Good morning?

We carpool to work.

Today you weren't home. I'm already here.

I know that. Now.

I took my own car. Didn't want to wake you.

It was very early.

What's so important you had to come in early?

Nothing.

Really? Really.

I thought we talked about this, G.

I promise you I will send you a text next time.

I'm talking about you returning to old habits.

Keeping things from the team, from me.

Going rogue.

Callen's going rogue again? Oh, nice,

can I shadow you? It's the only way I'll learn.

Not going rogue. I actually came to work early,

which is literally the opposite of going rogue.

What's in the file, G?

Why are you making this a thing?

Is it a thing? It's not a thing,

but you're making it one.

You guys sound like an old married couple.

Ooh, smooth, Kensilina.

Garret Odell. Who's Garret Odell?

He's no one. He's clean.

But ever since our names

were leaked last year, I have made a point

of trying to keep tabs on new people that enter our lives.

So whose life is he entering into?

Attorney, divorced.

One child, six years old.

Who goes to McCadden Elementary. Hmm.

Joelle's school.

Now it's a thing.

Whoa. This guy's dating Joelle?

No, I stopped by her house to drop some things off,

they were having dinner, okay?

You guys broke up, like, a month ago? I mean, that's fast.

That's too fast. This man has a right to be suspicious.

I think the word is “jealous.”

I broke up with her, remember?

Look, I don't need to defend myself, okay?

I was looking out for her and for the team, case closed.

You know what they say,

when Callen closes a case,

Eric Beale-- he opens a window.

To another case.

Ooh, that sounded better in my head.

Granger wants you in Ops.

There's your file.

We done with this thing?

I mean, if you say it's not a thing, it's not a thing.

It's not a thing.

Unless you don't realize it's a thing.

You keep that up, we're gonna have a thing.

Early this morning, the coast guard pulled the body

of Larry Overson from the marina.

Overson? I know that name.

Not only do I know his name, I read his book.

You listened to his book on tape on the way to work,

which means I had to listen to it.

If you want out of the car pool, just let me know.

Okay, guys,

I don't know the name, so...

Larry Overson is the tech entrepreneur

who founded the antivirus company OverGuard

and then sold it for nearly a billion dollars.

He then parlayed that cash

into a successful venture capital fund.

He was what's known as

an angel investor, providing

seed money to tech and Internet start-ups.

He wrote a book

about what it takes to run a successful business

and how to adapt to changing markets.

He had good instincts.

He was a little full of himself.

Do you have a billion dollars?

I don't need a billion dollars.

What's going on with these two?

They're just having a thing.

Sorry I asked.

Anyway, before he was an angel investor,

Overson was in the navy.

He was assigned to the National Security Agency,

where he was instrumental in developing

part of their mass data collection program.

Now, that I didn't read in the book.

It was highly classified,

and for that reason, SECNAV has tasked us

to investigate his murder.

We got a crime scene?

We do. Overson's boat.

Tied up in basin G of the marina.

CGIS is coordinating

the forensic investigation, but no suspects so far.

The last phone call Overson made was to former lieutenant

Mark Powell. Now, they worked together at the NSA

and, by all accounts, they were best friends. Until Powell sued

Overson for a share of OverGuard,

claiming that they developed the software together.

Powell lost the case

along with a lot of money in attorney's fees.

Which is probably why he's been living

out of his car for the last month.

It was last seen entering a vacant lot in Westchester.

All right, we'll check out Powell. You two search the boat,

bring Nell with you. Chances are,

Overson's got a pretty serious alarm system on board.

You've got the Conn,

Mr. Beale.

Sounds promising.

All right, thanks, great, thank you, Eric, bye.

What do we know?

So Eric spoke to Overson's office back in San Jose.

It seems he sailed down last week

to meet with several tech companies here at Silicon Beach.

Did you say Silicone Beach? 'Cause that sounds amazing.

We should probably go there,

maybe do some covert surveillance.

Yeah? Maybe I tell your girlfriend you said that.

Mm-mm, no, don't tell her that.

Silicon Beach, much like Silicon Valley.

It's what they're calling the new tech start-up scene

here in L.A. Overson was meeting

with these companies to consider investing.

Well, if he denied one of them, that's motive right there.

Well, Eric is accessing his calendar

to find this list of companies.

Nellasaurus, what do you got-- anything from the cameras?

That's a no-go. Overson had the cloud backup disabled.

I'm guessing he didn't want his former employer spying on him.

Okay, so where did the feed go?

To his laptop, which... is also missing.

Well, Overson went in the water. Maybe the laptop did, too.

We should get the coast guard to search the surrounding waters.

Yup. That sounds like a great idea.

Oh, hey, you okay?

Guys, I don't do so well with boats.

It's the rocking

and then the stomach.

It's not the best combination. You do realize

that, uh, you're an NCIS agent.

Where the “N” stands for “naval”.

I don't mean, like, a belly button kind.

Oh. Thanks, Captain Obvious.

I think navy ships are a little bit bigger.

Where you going, Gilligan? Pretty sure marina security isn't

as cautious with their cameras.

The “I” is for “investigative.”

Oh, wow, and “S”

stands for “show-off.” Well played.

I'll collect the video and bring it back to Ops.

You're welcome.

All right, Eric just sent the list of companies.

We are going to Silicon Beach.

God, it'd be so much more fun

if they just added the “E” at the end.

Powell's car.

Pretty sure I've lived in worse.

That was by choice, not necessity.

No one's home.

And it's unlocked.

I'm guessing he left in a hurry.

How was this guy ever in the navy?

Looks like Kensi's desk back here.

I think I know why Eric can't trace his cell phone.

He smashed it.

SIM card's gone.

So's his stuff.

I don't think he's coming back.

Hey, Callen.

Eric, Powell's gone, and he smashed his cell phone.

Why don't you start checking
