The pretrial wasn’t going their way. The team came together to see LaSalle get justice in a courtroom and unfortunately, justice eluded them when their friend’s killer had come up with an alibi. It was so last minute. Eddie Barrett’s supposed alibi is that he was on the boat when LaSalle was murdered. He even has an eyewitness because the captain of this boat saw him out on the water during the assault on LaSalle and he was willing to testify to what he claims is true. It also didn’t help that Brad Collins seems credible. He doesn’t have a record and he’s likable.
Some would even call him charming. Collins didn’t have an attitude when he was being questioned. He calmly explained what happened and he has a reason for everything. He said he didn’t know that Barrett was looking for him. He had apparently charted the boat for a quick trip to Mexico and didn’t bother to check his cell phone. Collins then claimed he was doing the right thing by coming forward, but the team knew that he was lying. They couldn’t prove it and so that frustrated them at first.
They hadn’t known what to do. Their worst enemy had an alibi and it looked like it was going to hold up in court. Barrett’s lawyer was even trying to use this supposed alibi to get the charges dropped. The lawyer said that Barrett shouldn’t be on trial for a murder he couldn’t possibly have committed and so the team has a couple of days to find evidence else Barrett was going to walk. So, Pride had his team check everything. They went digging through every moment of that day and they couldn’t find a single thing that could help.
They couldn’t find anything that proved Barrett killed LaSalle. It was so bad that Pride decided to change tactics and he later told his team that they should start looking at all of Barrett’s wrongdoings. If they couldn’t get him for murder, they could get him on everything else and that included the drugs. Barrett was a drug kingpin. That couldn’t have happened in a day and so there must be a trail of it somewhere. It turns out Barrett was jail for a while and that’s where his career began.
The team went to prison. They spoke with Barrett’s cellmate and they learned that Barrett figured out everything he needed to know behind bars. It seems he watched everyone. He watched them, study them, and then he began to impersonate them. He took the “best” traits off of people he met behind bars. He impersonated them until he became them. Barrett even began his drug business in prison because he befriended a Physician Assistant who was willing to be his supplier. And so that’s how Barrett gained influence.
He built a reputation for himself in prison. Then, once he was released, he continued his business and was free to now expand. Barrett was a big deal in the drug trade. The team just needed to find evidence of his wrongdoing to put him away and they were doing just that when unfortunately Barrett was released for a second time. Barrett was now free to bother them. Which he did! He would show up at Pride’s bar to talk to Pride’s brother Jimmy and the guy ditched the police detail that was following him. Barrett practically disappeared in mid-air and no one knew how to contact him.
The team couldn’t even use Barrett’s phone. The man himself claims to have lost his cell back at the hospital and the fact it was also a burner meant there was no way to find that phone or ever identify it. It was gone and so was Barrett. What the team did find, however, were the bodies left behind. They found the body of the Physician Assistant and they also found Collins’s body. Both men had been killed because they were loose ends and that only left Sue-Ann. She was the one Barrett used to lure Chris into the woods.
Sue-Ann had also been injured that day. She took a bullet to the shoulder because LaSalle protected her and so she didn’t know that her boss had been trying to kill her as well. The team couldn’t exactly tell her this because they knew she wouldn’t believe him and so they tried to protect in spite of that. Gregorio went undercover at the women’s prison. She would be keeping a personal eye out on Sue-Ann and the rest of the team were still out looking for Barrett. They used the evidence they collected from the dead men to trace what type of plants Barrett was surrounded by. And therefore, what area he could be hiding in.
They also determined how he killed the two men. They knew he didn’t do it himself because he was still being watched at the time and so he must have a trigger man working for him. Barrett, it seems had a whole team of his own. Sue-Ann was a part of that for a while and then she became a liability. Gregorio stopped Sue-Ann from being shanked. She used that opportunity to show Sue-Ann all the evidence there was that Barrett wanted her dead and so that finally broke through to Sue-Ann. She was forced to confess the nasty truth.
Sue-Ann was so heartbroken that she revealed everything. She told them how Barrett collected lost souls and renamed them his children. She basically told them that Barrett was a cult leader. He would find troubled young men and women and he would promise them salvation. She explained what Barrett’s compound looks like, but Sebastian and his determination of plants helped the team figure out the location of this compound. The team now knew Barrett was hiding and they went there fully geared up to take on a resistant Barrett.
But they didn’t prepare for his people. His people were all armed and they trained all of their guns on NCIS the moment they spotted them. So, there was no way the team was going to get out of this one.
THE END!
