In tonight’s NCIS Hawaii episode, a Virginian Federal Prosecutor was murdered on the island. He was on the island for some unknown reason. Probably for a vacation. He met someone at the bar and they got to talking. It was going really well when they decided to continue the party elsewhere by getting a ride. They used one of those apps and they hadn’t needed to wait long for a ride, but for some reason, the driver drove them to a dark and secluded area where this prosecutor was murdered. The driver instantly became a suspect because he was missing. His body wasn’t found at the scene. There was no sign of a struggle. And so everyone knew the driver was behind this.
But this became an NCIS case because the driver was a serviceman. The team was called in to conduct a manhunt. The manhunt was for Navy Seamen Neil Blake. Blake did rideshares during his off-hours. The team also knew Blake was behind this because he was dumb enough to use his own car. The team along with every other investigative force on the island quickly began looking for Blake. The team roped in FBI Special Agent Whistler to assist them. They wanted to know why AUSA Elliott Sacks was killed. They had looked for a connection between him and Blake and there wasn’t one.
There was no reason why Blake would want Sacks dead. The team also couldn’t figure out why Sacks was on the island. They went asking his bosses and it hadn’t been a vacation. It was something else. The team was still putting pieces together when another body dropped. This time it was an FBI Agent. Special Agent Jones was his name. Whistler went to Jones’s home on the island because he knew Sacks and she thought he would know why Sacks had been murdered, but Whistler saw that the house had been broken into and so she called it in. She also went inside without backup and she got her butt beat. She got beaten up by the real killer. It turns out the killer was never Blake.
Blake was another victim. The killer was an unknown woman. The same woman that Sacks was making out with on the night he was murdered and the woman who took Blake hostage after she murdered Sacks. She told Blake that if he tried to run that she’d kill him. She took Blake with her every time she made a stop. She killed Jones. She also made another stop in which she murdered someone in their hotel room. This woman made her escape after she beat up Whistler and so the only good thing to come out of it was the fact they were able to rescue Blake. Blake told them about the third victim.
The third victim was a defense attorney. There was no connection seemingly between the three victims, but this smelled like a hit job and the victims were all killed with the expediency of a hitman. Though in this case, it would be a hitwoman. Tennant and her team later learned that the federal government was holding a deposition of a gun manufacturer that was being accused of helping the cartels. They had gotten a whistleblower to help out with the case in exchange for not being prosecuted. The only thing this guy had to do was tell the truth on the stand. To do so would risk putting his own brother in jail.
But then again it was probably his brother that hired the hitwoman to kill him. The team went to the witness’s house and they arrived not a moment too soon because the hitwoman identified as Andrea Medina had tried taking a shot at the witness. She got his bodyguard instead. The team encircled Carter. They tried to get him out of the house without injury while Lucy pursued the hitwoman. She tracked Medina to the beach. They got into a physical altercation. They were struggling for power when Lucy was ultimately forced to shoot and kill Media. With Medina dead, there was no one to tie the murder for hire to Carter’s brother.
Only the team realized later on that Carter’s story was a lie. He wasn’t the whistleblower. He was the murderous brother. It was Carter’s brother that was giving testimony against him. It was his lawyer that Carter had killed along with everyone else attached to the case. The team figured that out after Medina “failed” to kill Carter in spite of having the shot. She had the shot and she intentionally missed. And that’s when they realized the brother might have something important to say.
The brother mentioned Carter’s overseas accounts and the team was able to track them down. It’s what paid off Medina. And so Carter was now being accused of murder.
Whistler was fine. She had a few cracked ribs and she also had a necessary conversation with Lucy about the way things ended between them, but it was something Lucy had to say in order to move on and she does plan on moving on.
THE END!
