Brian Hendrich had been a mentally disturbed young man and unfortunately there had been dire consequences after he had gone off his medications on tonight’s episode of “NCIS: New Orleans”.
According to reports, Brian had followed a young woman on the train and he soon spiraled out of control when she said something to him. It could have been an insult or she simply could have asked him to leave her alone but either way Brian decided to take what she said as offensive. And he shot Morgan Oliver over it.
And he would have gone on to continue shooting if two Good Samaritans hadn’t stepped in. Navy Lieutenant Commander Mark Jacoby and unknown man had approached Brian and were in the middle of talking him down when Brian just went crazy. He pulled a gun on the guys and had actually shot Jacoby.
But, thankfully, Jacoby’s partner was able to use sneak up behind Brian and had fatally stabbed him before he could hurt anyone else. So both men had been heroes on that train however only Jacoby had stayed around.
The other man had applied pressure to Jacoby’s wound thereby saving his life yet, when NCIS came asking around, Jacoby told him that had been the first time he had met this other guy. So that in turn had made NCIS question this mystery man. Why did he flee the scene? And more importantly, who trained him?
That one stab wound had been made by someone who knew what they were doing and who seemed to have some medical knowledge.
And therefore the team knew they had to keep looking into this mysterious stranger. Though Sebastian was able to help them out. The techie had found then ran a bloody fingerprint he had found on Jacoby’s shirt and he found out their mystery man was in fact Corpsman Nolan Griffith.
Nolan had been specialty soldier and it looks like he had a promising career on his hands. Yet Nolan had gotten kidnapped overseas and he was later tortured by Pakistani militants for their promo videos. That is until those videos stopped suddenly, some months ago.
So there was a lot of people, including Nolan’s own sister, that believed Nolan was dead. But he’s been alive this entire time and somehow he had gotten into the U.S. without anyone knowing. Which again begs the question why?
Although Nolan didn’t seem as if he wanted to answer anyone when he eventually made a run for it after spotting NCIS at his newly rented apartment. And had been seen getting into a car with Aman Bashir. Otherwise known as the man that had tortured him for nearly a year.
And thus the NCIS came to believe that Nolan had been turned.
They had tried to track Nolan down again but he had wiped everything clean from the car he had been using and it turns out he had been content with spying on his sister from afar. So Plame and his skillset was needed to trace Nolan’s movements and by sheer luck he found Nolan near the most popular graveyard in New Orleans. But it hadn’t looked like Nolan was preparing to bomb the place.
He had been looking for someone or someone when NCIS decided to make their move. And were able to bring him into custody. Though it should be said that Nolan had been full of surprises once he finally deigned to tell the agents what he was doing in their city.
It seems he had been working with the CIA to stop an impending terrorist attack on U.S. soil. Or so he claimed but there hadn’t been anyone around to verify such a story. Apparently the man he claimed was his handler had died at the same graveyard.
So the team, particularly, Pride, had wondered if they could even trust anything that Nolan says. Nolan had told him that he had escaped capture and had been nursed back to health by a woman he later married. Yet, he also told them that his wife Nasima had Bashir’s cousin so that’s why the CIA had been willing to use him.
Bashir was high up on the list of people they were looking to bring down and so there was a chance they had used Nolan’s personal ties to their advantage. But the CIA were being pretty cagey. They said they didn’t have a record on Nolan so Pride simply had to trust him.
And that proved to be the best decision he could have made because Nolan had been telling the truth.
Despite everything, including what the CIA had told NCIS, Nolan had been working to protect New Orleans. So he had led NCIS directly back to Bashir and he had even foiled a bombing plot primarily on his own. And so Pride had told Nolan that he should probably start preparing his speech for when he was awarded the Silver Heart.
But all Nolan cared about was his family. Nasima and their son had come to the Sates and it gave Nolan the chance to finally introduce them to his sister.
THE END!
