Tonight’s episode begins with Deeks who was selling his bar. It was a decision he made with his wife. It had been a cash drain. It went under the pandemic and the only reason it didn’t wipe out their savings is the fact they both have second jobs. The couple also needed the resources if they were going to become parents. They couldn’t keep wasting it on a cash drain and so Deeks has to tell Callen about the sale. Callen lives in the apartment above the bar. Once Deeks sold the place, Callen will have to move. Callen should start looking for new places now rather than later and that meant Deeks has to tell him his news. He couldn’t leave it to the last minute. He also couldn’t let someone buy a bar when there’s already a tenant.
It’s not like Callen is paying a lot of rent. The new owner could raise the rent on him for the fair value of the property and anyways Callen will still have to look for a new place if he doesn’t like the rent hike or if he doesn’t even like the new buyer. Either way, Deeks needed to man up to tell Callen about the sale. His wife was putting pressure on him to do it and he was grateful when they caught a case because it helped put off the inevitable. The case they were working on was a murder investigation. The murder of Dr. Laura Nash was considered high security because she was leading a team of engineers to develop short-range radar for the Navy.
Nash was murdered at the warehouse where she worked. The technology which she was working on was also missing and it could lead to something quite dangerous in the wrong hands. Nash technically could have handed it over to the proper authorities weeks ago, but she was so focused on working out all the bugs that she held onto it a little too long and someone capitalized on it by stealing it from her. Nash was a perfectionist. The group of Marines she worked with had all respected her. They just didn’t like her. The more liked her right-hand man Petty Officer Kevin Tyler.
Tyler went missing a day after the murder. He even missed work and that was the first time he missed it in five years. His behavior was highly suspicious. The team went to his home to find out what happened and they found it ransacked. There was no sign of Tyler. It was believed at first that maybe he was kidnapped. Only kidnappers don’t usually allow people to pack up their clothes. Tyler had packed before he left and he had a gang-affiliated tattoo in a picture frame at his home. The tattoo could be traced back to White Knights. They were the gang in Tyler’s hometown in Venice.
The team thought at first maybe Tyler killed his mentor to steal the tech to get it back to the White Knights, but then they questioned why any low-level gang would risk so much. The tech that was stolen was one of one. It was going to be flagged for potential terrorism if it went missing and so the team came up with a different theory. They came to suspect that a foreign spy could have stolen the tech. Either Russia or China could have stolen it or paid Tyler to get it for them. Fatima was asked to track the spies with flights out of town. She found one woman who’s been to several cities in a matter of months and so the suspected spy was brought to the boat shed.
She was questioned. She gave them a false story about being a supposed librarian at first. She also refuses to turn her back on China, but she was willing to admit that she bought the radar tech from Tyler and another man. She gave them two million dollars for the tech. She also had to give them some Devil’s wraith. Which is an untraceable explosive that China developed. It turns out Tyler really was working with the White Knights and they planned on committing terrorism. The team later learned they planned on bombing a scholarship ceremony at the local community center. The scholarships were going to smart kids from immigrant families and it was happening in the White Knights’ backyard in Venice.
The whole team drove out there. Sam and Callen were looking for their terrorists in the nearby area. Someplace that was close enough to detonate the stuff and far away enough to be safe. Sam and Callen found their culprits. It led to a shootout. They were forced to kill members of the White Knights. Not that it was much hardship and so they stopped the bombing from ever happening. Deeks and Kensi had evacuated everyone from the community center while the shootout happened and they met some good people while doing their jobs.
And after surviving another day on the job, Deeks came clean to Callen and Callen wasn’t upset. Callen was actually glad that Deeks and Kensi weren’t wasting money on that drain.
But Callen’s voice and face have been stolen by someone operating a computer program that allows them to impersonate him to the point they met with his doctor on a video call.
THE END
