1
00:00:48,355 --> 00:00:49,788
Whoa.
2
00:00:53,125 --> 00:00:55,126
Boo to you, too, Mr. Chicken.
3
00:00:59,031 --> 00:01:01,562
Fool me once, chicken...
4
00:01:08,545 --> 00:01:16,045
- Synced and corrected by Firefly -
- www.addic7ed.com -
5
00:01:21,762 --> 00:01:24,092
Doctor said it could be any day,
6
00:01:24,097 --> 00:01:26,628
but if he doesn't show up
by the weekend, they'll induce.
7
00:01:26,633 --> 00:01:29,431
Doctors believe they can
scare a baby into being born.
8
00:01:29,436 --> 00:01:31,637
Don't think that'll work.
9
00:01:34,875 --> 00:01:36,342
Foul ball.
10
00:01:37,544 --> 00:01:39,141
So, how is Caitlyn holding up?
11
00:01:39,146 --> 00:01:41,142
She's nervous. And I'm not sure
12
00:01:41,147 --> 00:01:43,011
I'm the steadying influence
she was hoping for
13
00:01:43,016 --> 00:01:44,246
in this situation.
14
00:01:44,251 --> 00:01:47,382
- Why not?
- I'm nervous, too.
15
00:01:47,387 --> 00:01:49,855
I haven't had a baby
in, like, ten years.
16
00:01:51,191 --> 00:01:53,459
Well, Daniel, you've actually
never had a baby.
17
00:01:58,764 --> 00:02:00,328
All right, come on, Alex, you got it.
18
00:02:00,333 --> 00:02:01,364
You got it, Alex!
19
00:02:01,368 --> 00:02:02,431
Aah!
20
00:02:02,436 --> 00:02:03,799
Alex!
21
00:02:05,105 --> 00:02:06,225
Coach!
22
00:02:06,230 --> 00:02:08,103
- Time!
- Wait, wait, wait, wait.
23
00:02:08,108 --> 00:02:09,705
We need to let the coach handle it.
24
00:02:09,710 --> 00:02:11,244
Coach, coach!
25
00:02:12,412 --> 00:02:13,942
Hang on, Alex.
26
00:02:13,947 --> 00:02:15,848
Stay down.
27
00:02:17,450 --> 00:02:18,918
It's okay.
28
00:02:22,656 --> 00:02:24,156
Sheesh.
29
00:02:25,158 --> 00:02:27,489
Looks like someone put this guy
through a meat grinder.
30
00:02:27,494 --> 00:02:29,357
That will not be my official COD
31
00:02:29,362 --> 00:02:30,902
for our young environmental officer.
32
00:02:31,297 --> 00:02:33,128
Okay, what will be?
33
00:02:33,133 --> 00:02:34,729
He died of mauling.
34
00:02:34,734 --> 00:02:36,936
Well, extreme blood loss
caused by mauling.
35
00:02:37,778 --> 00:02:39,241
Like a dog attack mauling?
36
00:02:39,246 --> 00:02:40,777
Well, if we had rabies
in Hawai'i, maybe.
37
00:02:40,781 --> 00:02:42,543
But we don't, so it seems unlikely
38
00:02:42,548 --> 00:02:44,347
our sailor would have been
attacked by dogs in a way
39
00:02:44,351 --> 00:02:47,015
that would have generated
these kinds of injuries.
40
00:02:47,020 --> 00:02:50,019
- So...
- Some kind of apex predator.
41
00:02:50,024 --> 00:02:51,754
What, you mean, like,
42
00:02:51,759 --> 00:02:54,089
"lions and tigers and bears, oh, my"?
43
00:02:54,094 --> 00:02:56,125
Without the "oh, my". Yes.
44
00:02:56,130 --> 00:02:58,898
But we don't have
apex predators in Hawai'i.
45
00:03:00,067 --> 00:03:01,397
The zoo.
46
00:03:01,402 --> 00:03:03,165
Dude, I think we would
have heard if a lion
47
00:03:03,170 --> 00:03:05,500
- escaped from the zoo.
- The lower part of his leg
48
00:03:05,505 --> 00:03:07,202
was ripped off. A smaller predator
49
00:03:07,207 --> 00:03:08,337
would have had to gnaw it.
50
00:03:08,342 --> 00:03:11,340
And that is the point
of the initial attack,
51
00:03:11,345 --> 00:03:13,375
And the animal was
downwind, which is
52
00:03:13,380 --> 00:03:15,177
what it would do if it
was hunting, right?
53
00:03:15,182 --> 00:03:16,979
Can't state the animal's intent, but
54
00:03:16,984 --> 00:03:19,215
- it's clearly a danger to humans.
- All right, well,
55
00:03:19,219 --> 00:03:20,916
let's get some signs posted in the area,
56
00:03:20,921 --> 00:03:22,751
keep the hikers out and find this animal
57
00:03:22,756 --> 00:03:24,456
before someone else gets hurt.
58
00:03:24,461 --> 00:03:26,421
Hey, you want me to have
a uniform stick nearby,
59
00:03:26,426 --> 00:03:28,791
- just while you're finishing?
- No.
60
00:03:28,796 --> 00:03:30,359
Whatever it is isn't hungry now.
61
00:03:30,364 --> 00:03:33,166
But if I'm still here
in 12 hours, ask again.
62
00:03:34,735 --> 00:03:36,202
Okay.
63
00:03:37,404 --> 00:03:39,835
Achilles injuries are really
common in young athletes,
64
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:41,303
when their bodies grow faster
65
00:03:41,308 --> 00:03:43,005
than their tendons can keep up with.
66
00:03:43,010 --> 00:03:44,673
What's the next step... surgery?
67
00:03:44,678 --> 00:03:47,843
Probably. The ER doctor gave us
the number to an orthopedist,
68
00:03:47,848 --> 00:03:49,745
but Daniel's making some more calls.
69
00:03:49,750 --> 00:03:52,619
Our victim was a very interesting guy.
70
00:03:54,855 --> 00:03:56,752
A box...
71
00:03:56,757 --> 00:03:58,687
of animal by-products.
72
00:03:58,692 --> 00:04:00,189
See? Interesting.
73
00:04:00,194 --> 00:04:02,724
I have zero glass jars full of things
74
00:04:02,729 --> 00:04:05,194
I'd rather not touch, but he had many.
75
00:04:05,199 --> 00:04:07,796
I also brought his laptop.
I'm gonna give it to Ernie,
76
00:04:07,801 --> 00:04:09,699
see what he can find.
I'm assuming there's gonna be
77
00:04:09,703 --> 00:04:12,367
a lot of animal photos on there,
'cause he loved 'em.
78
00:04:12,372 --> 00:04:15,102
I've never seen so many
nature books in one house.
79
00:04:15,107 --> 00:04:16,940
Well, judging by his expertise,
he probably didn't know that
80
00:04:16,944 --> 00:04:18,741
a dangerous animal was out there.
81
00:04:18,746 --> 00:04:21,376
Otherwise, he wouldn't have
gone alone or without a sidearm.
82
00:04:21,381 --> 00:04:24,413
You're right. Reid was
much smarter than that.
83
00:04:24,418 --> 00:04:25,681
Hello, Agent...
84
00:04:25,686 --> 00:04:28,384
Melanie Dawes.
I'm with Fish and Wildlife.
85
00:04:28,389 --> 00:04:30,319
Yes, your patch gave you away.
86
00:04:31,392 --> 00:04:34,156
- You knew the victim?
- Uh, not well. But
87
00:04:34,161 --> 00:04:36,391
I saw your alert about
the death of your sailor,
88
00:04:36,396 --> 00:04:38,458
and I realized your case
might be related
89
00:04:38,463 --> 00:04:40,963
to a shipwreck CGIS and
I have been investigating.
90
00:04:40,968 --> 00:04:43,465
- What's the connection?
- We have pieces of a boat,
91
00:04:43,470 --> 00:04:46,568
some dead exotic animals
and a few empty cages,
92
00:04:46,573 --> 00:04:49,171
including one large enough
for an apex predator.
93
00:04:49,176 --> 00:04:51,373
- Smuggling.
- We think so.
94
00:04:51,378 --> 00:04:54,042
Any leads on locals
who might be responsible?
95
00:04:54,047 --> 00:04:56,144
We don't know any who deal in creatures
96
00:04:56,149 --> 00:04:59,014
this size. But my partner,
Siggy, is currently
97
00:04:59,019 --> 00:05:01,116
tracking an animal near
where your victim was found.
98
00:05:01,121 --> 00:05:03,018
Any chance it's wearing a collar
99
00:05:03,023 --> 00:05:05,287
with the smuggler's name
and phone number on it?
100
00:05:05,292 --> 00:05:06,922
Probably not.
101
00:05:06,927 --> 00:05:10,092
But if we catch it,
maybe we'll get some clues
102
00:05:10,097 --> 00:05:11,827
that will help us track its origin.
103
00:05:11,832 --> 00:05:14,730
Which, hopefully, will help us
figure out who brought it here.
104
00:05:14,735 --> 00:05:16,998
Which will help us find
out who's responsible
105
00:05:17,003 --> 00:05:18,504
for the death of our sailor.
106
00:05:20,341 --> 00:05:22,938
Is, um, Kai still on the scene?
107
00:05:22,943 --> 00:05:25,763
- Yeah.
- Okay, well, introduce him to Melanie.
108
00:05:25,768 --> 00:05:28,648
- And, Lucy, can you get that laptop to Ernie?
- Uh, yeah.
109
00:05:30,283 --> 00:05:31,650
Nice to meet you, Melanie.
110
00:05:32,186 --> 00:05:34,283
Let's see if two agencies
are better than one.
111
00:05:34,288 --> 00:05:35,855
Yeah.
112
00:05:38,792 --> 00:05:40,927
I finally connected with Dr. Yuen.
113
00:05:42,863 --> 00:05:44,993
You're saying that
like I know who he is.
114
00:05:44,998 --> 00:05:47,162
He's the top ortho on Oahu.
115
00:05:47,167 --> 00:05:49,932
Go-to guy for college athletes
and any pro
116
00:05:49,937 --> 00:05:51,333
who wants to rehab on the islands.
117
00:05:51,338 --> 00:05:52,834
He pulled up Alex's X-rays
118
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:54,636
and confirmed the original diagnosis.
119
00:05:58,345 --> 00:05:59,975
Poor Alex.
120
00:05:59,980 --> 00:06:01,810
He also
121
00:06:01,815 --> 00:06:04,946
has an opening on his
surgical calendar for tomorrow.
122
00:06:04,951 --> 00:06:06,348
What? No, no, no.
123
00:06:06,353 --> 00:06:07,850
The other doctor said,
like, a month or so.
124
00:06:07,854 --> 00:06:10,419
Yes, but, apparently,
the timing of the surgery
125
00:06:10,424 --> 00:06:12,087
is not as important as the rehab.
126
00:06:12,092 --> 00:06:13,822
So he might as well start rehabbing now.
127
00:06:13,827 --> 00:06:16,291
Look, I understand...
I understand you're nervous.
128
00:06:16,296 --> 00:06:17,957
I'm not nervous. Okay?
129
00:06:17,962 --> 00:06:20,362
I just want to make the
right decision for my son.
130
00:06:20,367 --> 00:06:23,532
Our son. And me too.
131
00:06:23,537 --> 00:06:26,735
I know. Sorry.
132
00:06:26,740 --> 00:06:28,036
Look, it's not
133
00:06:28,041 --> 00:06:30,906
a question of if, it's just when.
134
00:06:30,911 --> 00:06:33,041
And this is definitely
the guy that we want.
135
00:06:33,046 --> 00:06:35,710
We can do it tomorrow or in three weeks.
136
00:06:35,715 --> 00:06:36,778
During which time,
137
00:06:36,783 --> 00:06:39,314
Alex will be hobbling
around on crutches.
138
00:06:39,319 --> 00:06:40,883
And in a lot of pain.
139
00:06:42,589 --> 00:06:44,286
I think you're in the wrong field.
140
00:06:44,291 --> 00:06:45,754
You should have been in sales,
141
00:06:45,759 --> 00:06:47,222
like, vacuum cleaners or something.
142
00:06:48,528 --> 00:06:49,992
All right, look, I just...
143
00:06:49,997 --> 00:06:52,928
I need a minute to think about it, okay?
144
00:06:52,933 --> 00:06:54,600
Of course.
145
00:07:00,273 --> 00:07:02,475
Ooh! You saved me a trip.
146
00:07:05,579 --> 00:07:07,080
Oh.
147
00:07:08,849 --> 00:07:11,079
"Ho. Opon. O. Pono".
148
00:07:11,084 --> 00:07:12,114
Ho'oponopono.
149
00:07:12,119 --> 00:07:13,581
I got you a session with a kahuna
150
00:07:13,586 --> 00:07:15,084
so he can lead you through the prayer.
151
00:07:15,088 --> 00:07:16,118
Prayer for what?
152
00:07:16,123 --> 00:07:19,291
Healing and forgiveness.
You know, after Whistler.
153
00:07:20,093 --> 00:07:23,592
That's... that's really sweet,
Ernie. But I'm fine.
154
00:07:23,597 --> 00:07:26,294
Sure, but I see how
you're walking around
155
00:07:26,299 --> 00:07:28,968
and I wonder if perhaps
you could be more fine.
156
00:07:31,271 --> 00:07:33,368
I got you mysticism.
You got me hardware.
157
00:07:33,373 --> 00:07:36,004
It belonged to
Environmental Officer Keller.
158
00:07:36,009 --> 00:07:37,572
I'm hoping you can break in and see
159
00:07:37,577 --> 00:07:39,510
if he knew anything about
the animal that killed him.
160
00:07:39,514 --> 00:07:41,214
I will give it my best.
161
00:07:46,186 --> 00:07:47,482
Thank you.
162
00:07:47,487 --> 00:07:49,288
You're-you're welcome.
163
00:07:50,557 --> 00:07:53,555
Oh, you're thanking me
for my gift, right?
164
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:55,323
Not for trying my best.
165
00:07:55,328 --> 00:07:58,093
'Cause... that's my job.
166
00:07:58,098 --> 00:07:59,966
I always try my best.
167
00:08:01,568 --> 00:08:04,466
You must love nature to be
out here with the bugs all day.
168
00:08:04,471 --> 00:08:07,236
More than anything.
169
00:08:07,241 --> 00:08:09,471
Did you go to school
in something related?
170
00:08:09,476 --> 00:08:12,474
Uh, I have my master's
in conservation biology,
171
00:08:12,479 --> 00:08:14,042
but that's not mandatory.
172
00:08:14,047 --> 00:08:16,478
I did have to get legally
qualified to carry a gun
173
00:08:16,483 --> 00:08:18,180
to enforce the rules.
174
00:08:18,185 --> 00:08:20,720
But I get to do that surrounded with...
175
00:08:22,055 --> 00:08:23,451
... crimson I'iwi.
176
00:08:23,456 --> 00:08:25,988
Nihoa finch.
177
00:08:25,993 --> 00:08:27,489
Shampoo ginger.
178
00:08:27,494 --> 00:08:29,524
Gee, I didn't see any of those.
179
00:08:29,529 --> 00:08:32,194
Just takes practice.
180
00:08:32,199 --> 00:08:34,629
Hey, what island you from?
181
00:08:34,634 --> 00:08:37,032
Island of Iowa.
182
00:08:38,405 --> 00:08:40,969
I'm sorry. I-I assumed
that you were just...
183
00:08:40,974 --> 00:08:43,372
It's okay. I love Hawai'i.
184
00:08:43,377 --> 00:08:44,741
And the fact that you think that
185
00:08:44,745 --> 00:08:47,279
I could be part of it
is really flattering.
186
00:08:48,548 --> 00:08:50,182
Okay.
187
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:55,017
Everything okay?
188
00:08:55,022 --> 00:08:58,720
Yeah. Siggy clearly sees something.
189
00:08:58,725 --> 00:09:00,292
Siggy? Wh...
190
00:09:04,064 --> 00:09:06,194
Okay, I'm beginning
to feel really stupid.
191
00:09:06,199 --> 00:09:07,600
Siggy?
192
00:09:10,037 --> 00:09:12,434
This is Kai Holman with NCIS.
193
00:09:12,439 --> 00:09:13,535
Hey.
194
00:09:13,540 --> 00:09:15,074
- Nice to meet you.
- Hey.
195
00:09:17,544 --> 00:09:19,007
Were you looking at tracks?
196
00:09:19,012 --> 00:09:20,709
No. I saw a chicken.
197
00:09:20,714 --> 00:09:23,345
I was hoping it would come
over to me. But... no go.
198
00:09:23,350 --> 00:09:25,414
Come on, there's some tracks over here.
199
00:09:25,419 --> 00:09:27,386
Let's go find a big cat.
200
00:09:28,288 --> 00:09:29,584
Wait, wait...
201
00:09:29,589 --> 00:09:32,020
- Big cat?
- Well, cats have
202
00:09:32,025 --> 00:09:34,622
retractable claws, which don't
show up in their tracks.
203
00:09:34,627 --> 00:09:37,492
House cat, bobcat, bigger cat...
usually all the same.
204
00:09:37,497 --> 00:09:38,760
Except for the size, of course.
205
00:09:38,765 --> 00:09:41,267
And this one's big. Very big.
206
00:09:42,202 --> 00:09:44,634
Oh, I'm afraid that by the time
we saw a predator this size,
207
00:09:44,638 --> 00:09:46,802
it'll be too late to use that.
208
00:09:46,807 --> 00:09:48,437
Okay, so what do we do?
209
00:09:48,442 --> 00:09:50,405
Try not to be seen.
210
00:09:50,410 --> 00:09:52,644
Well, at least until
we can tranquilize it.
211
00:09:57,618 --> 00:09:59,285
Did you lose the cat's tracks?
212
00:10:00,887 --> 00:10:03,322
No. I found it.
213
00:10:18,037 --> 00:10:21,202
I had a vet come in and help me
with the tiger-topsy.
214
00:10:21,207 --> 00:10:22,604
We confirmed that the animal had
215
00:10:22,609 --> 00:10:25,273
fresh human remains in its stomach.
216
00:10:25,278 --> 00:10:27,408
Fits with the timeline
of the attack on your victim.
217
00:10:27,413 --> 00:10:29,579
So when we caught it they
would have euthanized it anyway.
218
00:10:29,583 --> 00:10:31,647
More than likely. Though...
219
00:10:31,652 --> 00:10:33,084
perhaps that would have
been a better death
220
00:10:33,088 --> 00:10:35,018
than being tranquilized
and breaking its neck
221
00:10:35,023 --> 00:10:37,587
tumbling down a cliffside.
222
00:10:37,592 --> 00:10:39,356
Tranquilizer dart.
223
00:10:39,361 --> 00:10:41,593
Someone else knew the tiger
was loose and tried to catch it.
224
00:10:41,597 --> 00:10:43,594
- Yes.
- Well, can we identify who bought it?
225
00:10:43,599 --> 00:10:45,030
Well, there's no serial number on it,
226
00:10:45,034 --> 00:10:46,462
but I was gonna take
it to the forensic lab,
227
00:10:46,466 --> 00:10:47,567
see if they could pull a fingerprint.
228
00:10:47,571 --> 00:10:48,931
Well, I'm heading back that way.
229
00:10:48,935 --> 00:10:50,369
I'll take it for you.
230
00:10:51,705 --> 00:10:54,969
I assume making my deliveries
is not why you came to AFMES?
231
00:10:54,974 --> 00:10:56,041
No.
232
00:10:57,043 --> 00:10:59,674
Alex ruptured his Achilles
playing baseball
233
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,310
and my ex-husband found a doctor
234
00:11:02,315 --> 00:11:05,847
who's willing to do the
surgery immediately.
235
00:11:05,852 --> 00:11:07,015
Oof.
236
00:11:07,020 --> 00:11:08,950
- So we should wait?
- No.
237
00:11:08,955 --> 00:11:10,586
Medically, timing of the
surgery doesn't matter.
238
00:11:10,590 --> 00:11:13,154
It's the rehab. The rehab is a bitch.
239
00:11:13,159 --> 00:11:14,856
But it's nothing to worry about.
240
00:11:14,861 --> 00:11:16,925
Alex is young. He's healthy.
241
00:11:16,930 --> 00:11:19,127
He'll be fine, I'm sure.
242
00:11:19,132 --> 00:11:21,296
No, I know. It's just...
243
00:11:21,301 --> 00:11:23,264
When your kids are little
and they need something,
244
00:11:23,269 --> 00:11:26,067
you just do it. You know? You...
245
00:11:26,072 --> 00:11:29,470
you feed them, put them to bed,
246
00:11:29,475 --> 00:11:31,239
kiss a skinned knee.
247
00:11:31,244 --> 00:11:33,341
And then, when they get bigger,
248
00:11:33,346 --> 00:11:36,111
you can't do lots of those things.
249
00:11:36,116 --> 00:11:39,848
And the action is replaced by...
250
00:11:39,853 --> 00:11:41,850
Worry.
251
00:11:41,855 --> 00:11:43,389
Um...
252
00:11:45,525 --> 00:11:48,823
Alex has his whole life in front of him.
253
00:11:48,828 --> 00:11:51,893
I want it to be what he wants it to be.
254
00:11:51,898 --> 00:11:53,432
Me too.
255
00:12:00,006 --> 00:12:01,202
Aventurine.
256
00:12:01,207 --> 00:12:04,005
A crystal for healing.
257
00:12:04,010 --> 00:12:06,007
So, please give it to Alex,
258
00:12:06,012 --> 00:12:08,046
with my hopes for his speedy recovery.
259
00:12:09,649 --> 00:12:11,379
Thank you.
260
00:12:11,384 --> 00:12:14,349
Axis deer, feral goat,
house mouse,
261
00:12:14,354 --> 00:12:15,884
feral wallaby.
262
00:12:15,889 --> 00:12:18,786
The wallaby colonized Hawai'i
when some escaped from the zoo
263
00:12:18,791 --> 00:12:19,888
in the early 20th century.
264
00:12:19,893 --> 00:12:22,524
So none of these are exotic
animals from your shipwreck?
265
00:12:22,529 --> 00:12:25,260
We think this is a
white-throated babbler.
266
00:12:25,265 --> 00:12:26,494
A rare bird from Myanmar.
267
00:12:26,499 --> 00:12:27,999
- How rare?
- Enough that
268
00:12:28,004 --> 00:12:29,901
the loss of one is a tragedy.
269
00:12:29,906 --> 00:12:33,175
There's blood on this feather,
so it's likely dead.
270
00:12:34,741 --> 00:12:36,471
Did anything other than the tiger
271
00:12:36,476 --> 00:12:37,572
survive the shipwreck?
272
00:12:37,577 --> 00:12:39,173
Based on how many cages we found,
273
00:12:39,178 --> 00:12:41,609
we think we've accounted
for most of animals.
274
00:12:41,614 --> 00:12:43,778
Some small mammals might have survived.
275
00:12:43,783 --> 00:12:46,514
Though I hope not. Without
natural predators, they could
276
00:12:46,519 --> 00:12:48,716
devastate the ecology of
this part of the island.
277
00:12:48,721 --> 00:12:50,919
Just interfaced with Pike
at CGIS. They believe
278
00:12:50,924 --> 00:12:53,921
the ship that wrecked was
an off-shore supply vessel.
279
00:12:53,926 --> 00:12:56,624
Plenty of range to make the
trip from Asia to South America,
280
00:12:56,629 --> 00:12:58,226
although they would refuel in Hawai'I.
281
00:12:58,231 --> 00:12:59,727
The smugglers would want to
282
00:12:59,732 --> 00:13:02,564
disembark the animals for a
while. I mean, otherwise,
283
00:13:02,569 --> 00:13:04,633
they would lose too many on
the second half of the journey.
284
00:13:04,637 --> 00:13:06,134
But I still don't understand
285
00:13:06,139 --> 00:13:08,202
why the boat was on
that side of the island.
286
00:13:08,207 --> 00:13:11,640
Like, there's no good place
to anchor or unload.
287
00:13:11,645 --> 00:13:13,642
Well, whoever knows
the answer to that question
288
00:13:13,646 --> 00:13:16,211
is probably the same person
who tranquilized the tiger.
289
00:13:16,216 --> 00:13:18,711
Which makes them responsible
for the death of our sailor.
290
00:13:18,716 --> 00:13:19,817
Well, we couldn't pull
291
00:13:19,821 --> 00:13:21,851
any prints from that dart,
but I reached out
292
00:13:21,856 --> 00:13:23,753
to the manufacturer to ID anyone
293
00:13:23,758 --> 00:13:25,557
who imported them to the island.
294
00:13:26,759 --> 00:13:28,723
Ernie, these are our colleagues
295
00:13:28,728 --> 00:13:31,359
from Fish and Wildlife...
Siggy and Melanie.
296
00:13:31,364 --> 00:13:33,761
Hi. I have those pants.
297
00:13:33,766 --> 00:13:36,297
Our victim kept a log on his computer.
298
00:13:36,302 --> 00:13:38,366
Turns out when he heard about the wreck
299
00:13:38,371 --> 00:13:40,435
he was looking for the
animals that survived.
300
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,308
While he was in the field,
he ran into a man with a rifle.
301
00:13:44,644 --> 00:13:46,507
Ernie, this handwriting's
302
00:13:46,512 --> 00:13:49,243
indecipherable. How can you read that?
303
00:13:49,248 --> 00:13:51,183
It's not that hard to read.
304
00:13:52,985 --> 00:13:54,482
Ripple.
305
00:13:54,487 --> 00:13:55,884
- Rifle.
- Okay.
306
00:13:55,889 --> 00:13:57,619
Timer.
307
00:13:57,624 --> 00:13:59,087
Tiger.
308
00:13:59,092 --> 00:14:01,127
Did Keller get a name?
309
00:14:03,396 --> 00:14:05,664
Kevin Trager. DVM.
310
00:14:11,170 --> 00:14:12,633
Kevin Trager?
311
00:14:12,638 --> 00:14:13,801
- Yes?
- We're with
312
00:14:13,806 --> 00:14:16,170
NCIS and the Department
of Fish and Wildlife.
313
00:14:16,175 --> 00:14:18,372
We'd like to talk to you
about a Bengal tiger
314
00:14:18,377 --> 00:14:19,507
that was on the island.
315
00:14:19,512 --> 00:14:21,110
I don't know anything
about a Bengal tiger.
316
00:14:21,114 --> 00:14:22,910
Then you won't mind
if we check your cabinets
317
00:14:22,915 --> 00:14:25,847
- for any VG branded tranquilizer darts.
- Do you have a warrant?
318
00:14:25,852 --> 00:14:27,648
Dr. Trager, I don't think
we need a warrant.
319
00:14:27,653 --> 00:14:29,217
- What?
- What?
320
00:14:29,222 --> 00:14:31,520
Well, no one goes to vet school
unless they love animals,
321
00:14:31,524 --> 00:14:33,355
so I don't think you were
the one who shot that tiger
322
00:14:33,359 --> 00:14:35,857
so close to a cliff that it fell over.
323
00:14:35,862 --> 00:14:39,627
But you probably do have 100K in
educational loans to pay back.
324
00:14:39,632 --> 00:14:42,501
Nothing good here happens
if you lose your license.
325
00:14:43,235 --> 00:14:45,466
- I can't help you.
- I looked at your website.
326
00:14:45,471 --> 00:14:48,836
Lots of large animal work.
How are people gonna feel
327
00:14:48,841 --> 00:14:51,743
about you making a mistake like
that with a tranquilizer gun?
328
00:14:53,613 --> 00:14:55,977
All right, you're right about the loans.
329
00:14:55,982 --> 00:14:58,180
But I'm not responsible
for anything that happened.
330
00:14:58,184 --> 00:15:00,385
How about you cut me some slack?
331
00:15:03,155 --> 00:15:05,853
Okay, how about you tell us
332
00:15:05,858 --> 00:15:07,993
who smuggled the tiger onto the island?
333
00:15:13,132 --> 00:15:14,766
The Hawaiian Lion King.
334
00:15:28,848 --> 00:15:30,745
I'm never gonna play baseball again.
335
00:15:30,750 --> 00:15:32,046
Not true.
336
00:15:32,051 --> 00:15:34,085
But there's no guarantee.
337
00:15:35,722 --> 00:15:40,021
No, sweetheart. There's not.
338
00:15:40,026 --> 00:15:43,190
Look, all the doctors say that
your commitment to rehab is key.
339
00:15:43,195 --> 00:15:44,895
And your mom and I both know that
340
00:15:44,900 --> 00:15:47,495
you'll be as committed to rehab
as you've been to baseball.
341
00:15:47,500 --> 00:15:49,330
Yeah.
342
00:15:49,335 --> 00:15:50,898
I'm gritty.
343
00:15:50,903 --> 00:15:53,405
I'll be sure to put that
on my college applications.
344
00:15:56,657 --> 00:15:58,487
Okay.
345
00:15:58,492 --> 00:15:59,959
Look, this sucks.
346
00:16:00,895 --> 00:16:03,826
We're really sorry that
this happened to you.
347
00:16:03,831 --> 00:16:07,167
But there is nothing we
can do but go forward.
348
00:16:08,169 --> 00:16:10,833
And your dad and I are gonna
be here every step of the way.
349
00:16:10,838 --> 00:16:12,702
No pun intended.
350
00:16:12,707 --> 00:16:14,370
I hate puns.
351
00:16:16,077 --> 00:16:17,610
- Let's go.
- Come on.
352
00:16:26,487 --> 00:16:28,521
All right, we'll see you after, okay?
353
00:16:29,523 --> 00:16:30,686
Yeah.
354
00:16:30,691 --> 00:16:32,358
I love you, Alex.
355
00:16:34,762 --> 00:16:36,062
Thanks.
356
00:16:41,402 --> 00:16:42,635
You want to go get coffee?
357
00:16:48,142 --> 00:16:49,872
I'll text you when he heads to his room.
358
00:16:49,877 --> 00:16:51,445
Thanks, Janey.
359
00:16:57,251 --> 00:16:58,648
According to the vet,
360
00:16:58,653 --> 00:17:01,350
this guy calls himself
the Hawaiian Lion King
361
00:17:01,355 --> 00:17:04,854
because he grew up overseas
and once had a pet lion.
362
00:17:04,859 --> 00:17:07,022
His real name is Darrin Schwartz.
363
00:17:07,027 --> 00:17:09,225
He runs a pretty successful
smuggling operation
364
00:17:09,230 --> 00:17:12,228
- between Asia and Latin America.
- Right.
365
00:17:12,233 --> 00:17:14,563
The only price for his success
366
00:17:14,568 --> 00:17:16,603
is living in the middle of nowhere.
367
00:17:17,905 --> 00:17:20,035
You sure this is the place
Siggy said we should go?
368
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:22,373
Definitely. The vet said there's a five-acre compound
369
00:17:22,377 --> 00:17:24,278
at the end of the... Aah!
370
00:17:27,948 --> 00:17:29,616
This is definitely the place.
371
00:17:36,002 --> 00:17:38,797
I don't hear anyone moving to flank us.
372
00:17:38,802 --> 00:17:40,398
I'm guessing he's alone.
373
00:17:40,403 --> 00:17:42,801
- Flank us. You're ex-military.
- Marine.
374
00:17:42,806 --> 00:17:45,036
That explains the excellent posture.
375
00:17:45,041 --> 00:17:46,609
The...
376
00:17:47,644 --> 00:17:49,575
Since he seems to be alone,
377
00:17:49,580 --> 00:17:51,576
I like our odds of being
able to outflank him.
378
00:17:51,581 --> 00:17:53,178
Or...
379
00:17:53,183 --> 00:17:54,613
Or?
380
00:17:54,618 --> 00:17:57,419
Want to try talking to him?
381
00:17:58,555 --> 00:18:00,218
Yeah. Yeah. Sure.
382
00:18:00,223 --> 00:18:02,053
Okay.
383
00:18:02,058 --> 00:18:04,323
Darrin Schwartz?
384
00:18:04,328 --> 00:18:07,359
You're on my property.
I'm just protecting myself.
385
00:18:07,364 --> 00:18:10,795
How about we use our words
and not our guns?
386
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:12,764
I'm Melanie Dawes
with Fish and Wildlife.
387
00:18:12,769 --> 00:18:15,033
My colleague, Kai Holman, is with NCIS.
388
00:18:15,038 --> 00:18:17,269
We need you to put down your weapon.
389
00:18:17,274 --> 00:18:18,837
So you can shoot me?
390
00:18:18,842 --> 00:18:21,039
Mr. Schwartz, shooting
at us is the only reason
391
00:18:21,044 --> 00:18:23,208
we'd need to be shooting at you, okay?
392
00:18:23,213 --> 00:18:25,681
How about nobody shoots anybody?
393
00:18:27,484 --> 00:18:29,915
All right, what do you usually
do if talking doesn't work?
394
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:33,451
F and W has really big trucks,
so I just drive over them.
395
00:18:33,456 --> 00:18:35,057
Really?
396
00:18:36,092 --> 00:18:39,261
No. Talking almost always works.
397
00:18:40,363 --> 00:18:41,730
Okay.
398
00:18:43,133 --> 00:18:44,667
We're coming out, Mr. Schwartz.
399
00:18:47,370 --> 00:18:49,434
Put the gun down.
400
00:18:49,439 --> 00:18:51,106
Put it down.
401
00:18:54,110 --> 00:18:56,708
Hands up.
402
00:18:56,713 --> 00:18:59,648
Are there any unrestrained
animals that might attack us?
403
00:19:01,317 --> 00:19:02,581
Pepper.
404
00:19:09,292 --> 00:19:10,492
No.
405
00:19:11,995 --> 00:19:15,293
Hey. Kai and Melanie are talking
to the Hawaiian Lion King.
406
00:19:15,298 --> 00:19:19,297
The ship was his, so CGIS has
solved their case. If he admits
407
00:19:19,302 --> 00:19:22,700
to smuggling the tiger,
we've solved our sailor's death,
408
00:19:22,705 --> 00:19:24,769
even though no one's gonna be happy
409
00:19:24,774 --> 00:19:27,939
with a charge of involuntary
manslaughter as an outcome.
410
00:19:27,944 --> 00:19:30,775
Any update on Alex's surgery?
411
00:19:30,780 --> 00:19:32,944
Yeah, uh, the doctor just came out,
412
00:19:32,949 --> 00:19:34,711
said that it went great
413
00:19:34,716 --> 00:19:36,613
and Alex would be headed
to his room soon.
414
00:19:36,618 --> 00:19:38,216
Why are they keeping him overnight?
415
00:19:38,221 --> 00:19:39,617
This doctor has a post-operative
416
00:19:39,622 --> 00:19:42,287
stem cell treatment he uses
on college and pro athletes.
417
00:19:42,292 --> 00:19:43,688
Alex will be getting that, too.
418
00:19:43,693 --> 00:19:46,024
As he should. I mean,
even if he doesn't end up
419
00:19:46,029 --> 00:19:48,893
playing pro baseball,
he's got a long, bright future
420
00:19:48,898 --> 00:19:50,161
of walking around upright.
421
00:19:50,166 --> 00:19:52,197
Might as well do it
the best way possible.
422
00:19:52,202 --> 00:19:53,669
Yeah.
423
00:19:55,371 --> 00:19:57,535
Look, I'd, um, I'd come to the office,
424
00:19:57,540 --> 00:19:59,370
but Daniel's wife
finally went into labor
425
00:19:59,375 --> 00:20:01,638
and I don't want Alex alone
when he heads to his room.
426
00:20:01,643 --> 00:20:03,709
No worries. I'll give you a call
if anything comes up.
427
00:20:03,713 --> 00:20:04,743
Okay.
428
00:20:04,748 --> 00:20:06,244
Hey, uh...
429
00:20:06,249 --> 00:20:08,413
I know how hard it is
430
00:20:08,418 --> 00:20:10,081
keeping all these balls in the air.
431
00:20:10,086 --> 00:20:13,685
I don't know how I'd
do it without Heather.
432
00:20:13,690 --> 00:20:15,820
You're a superhero.
433
00:20:15,825 --> 00:20:17,989
No more than any other single mom.
434
00:20:17,994 --> 00:20:21,330
Well, still. You should all get capes.
435
00:20:22,364 --> 00:20:24,062
Yeah, that wouldn't be
embarrassing at all
436
00:20:24,067 --> 00:20:25,196
to our children.
437
00:20:25,201 --> 00:20:27,036
I'll talk to you later.
438
00:20:30,540 --> 00:20:34,239
I mean, it's not my fault
that tiger escaped.
439
00:20:34,844 --> 00:20:37,575
But you admit to smuggling
it from Thailand.
440
00:20:37,580 --> 00:20:39,177
Yeah.
441
00:20:39,182 --> 00:20:40,545
Okay, then help me understand
442
00:20:40,550 --> 00:20:42,180
why it getting loose isn't your fault.
443
00:20:42,185 --> 00:20:44,253
'Cause that boat had no
business being over there.
444
00:20:45,255 --> 00:20:46,351
Why was it?
445
00:20:46,356 --> 00:20:47,686
I don't know.
446
00:20:47,691 --> 00:20:51,122
By the time I checked the
tracking system to find them,
447
00:20:51,127 --> 00:20:52,390
they had already wrecked.
448
00:20:52,395 --> 00:20:55,660
But I tell you what, that
boat was in tip-top shape.
449
00:20:55,665 --> 00:20:57,829
And if the crew had just
done what they were
450
00:20:57,834 --> 00:21:00,030
supposed to do and gone
where they were supposed to go,
451
00:21:00,035 --> 00:21:01,399
there would have been no problem.
452
00:21:01,404 --> 00:21:02,701
So where's the crew?
453
00:21:02,706 --> 00:21:04,169
I don't know.
454
00:21:04,174 --> 00:21:06,037
I called them. Never heard back.
455
00:21:06,042 --> 00:21:08,239
The only reason I went over
to that side of the island
456
00:21:08,244 --> 00:21:09,941
was because I was looking for the boat
457
00:21:09,946 --> 00:21:11,809
and that's when I saw the tiger tracks.
458
00:21:14,217 --> 00:21:15,451
Pepper, stop.
459
00:21:17,987 --> 00:21:19,584
All of his animals are well cared for.
460
00:21:19,589 --> 00:21:21,319
Yeah, why wouldn't they be?
461
00:21:21,324 --> 00:21:23,621
Maybe because it's hard to
believe you really give a damn,
462
00:21:23,626 --> 00:21:25,523
you know, since they are
thousands of miles
463
00:21:25,528 --> 00:21:27,529
from their native environments.
464
00:21:29,499 --> 00:21:31,162
I assume I'm going to jail?
465
00:21:31,167 --> 00:21:33,131
I'd imagine.
466
00:21:33,136 --> 00:21:36,101
I, uh, I use, uh,
467
00:21:36,106 --> 00:21:38,369
Pepper to judge people's qualities.
468
00:21:38,374 --> 00:21:40,472
And she really likes you.
469
00:21:40,477 --> 00:21:43,374
Would you look after her
for me while I'm away?
470
00:21:43,379 --> 00:21:45,877
Dude, my dog's head is
bigger than your whole dog.
471
00:21:45,882 --> 00:21:47,916
She won't care.
472
00:21:49,252 --> 00:21:51,649
Please.
473
00:21:51,654 --> 00:21:54,923
I don't-I don't want her
to go to a shelter.
474
00:21:58,228 --> 00:22:00,325
Like, how about...
475
00:22:00,330 --> 00:22:02,597
you get me a list of
everyone you work with...
476
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:05,200
... and an inventory
of what was on the boat.
477
00:22:09,439 --> 00:22:10,973
Come here.
478
00:22:11,992 --> 00:22:13,192
Pepper.
479
00:22:16,579 --> 00:22:18,243
Look, I'm not sure
480
00:22:18,248 --> 00:22:19,944
that shipwreck was
an accident, though...
481
00:22:19,949 --> 00:22:22,547
for the life of me, I can't figure out
482
00:22:22,552 --> 00:22:24,516
what else could have happened.
483
00:22:24,521 --> 00:22:25,984
You'll figure it out.
484
00:22:27,457 --> 00:22:29,258
Pepper believes in you.
485
00:22:36,633 --> 00:22:37,962
Hey.
486
00:22:37,967 --> 00:22:40,002
- Hey.
- Hey, sweetheart.
487
00:22:41,171 --> 00:22:43,201
How you feeling?
488
00:22:43,206 --> 00:22:45,436
Fine.
489
00:22:45,441 --> 00:22:48,006
Hey, your dad had to step out.
490
00:22:48,011 --> 00:22:49,978
Looks like the baby couldn't wait.
491
00:22:59,055 --> 00:23:01,052
Can I get you anything?
492
00:23:01,057 --> 00:23:02,353
No.
493
00:23:02,358 --> 00:23:04,689
I'm gonna take a nap.
494
00:23:04,694 --> 00:23:06,991
It's okay if you go to work.
495
00:23:06,996 --> 00:23:09,498
I'm happy to stay, Alex.
496
00:23:23,279 --> 00:23:25,043
You make your appointment yet?
497
00:23:25,048 --> 00:23:26,611
I will.
498
00:23:26,616 --> 00:23:28,613
The kahuna's really busy.
499
00:23:28,618 --> 00:23:31,453
Ernie. You can stop worrying about me.
500
00:23:37,193 --> 00:23:38,957
How did Whistler break your heart?
501
00:23:38,962 --> 00:23:41,159
Did you tell her you loved her
502
00:23:41,164 --> 00:23:42,894
and she didn't say it back?
503
00:23:42,899 --> 00:23:46,564
Did you open up to her,
and she wasn't capable of...
504
00:23:46,569 --> 00:23:47,999
reciprocating?
505
00:23:48,004 --> 00:23:49,601
Was it cheating?
506
00:23:49,606 --> 00:23:50,806
Ernie.
507
00:23:54,177 --> 00:23:56,507
Lucy, I-I hope none of
those things happened to you,
508
00:23:56,512 --> 00:23:59,110
but something did, and you're sad.
509
00:23:59,115 --> 00:24:02,384
Really sad. I can read it
all over your face.
510
00:24:03,453 --> 00:24:05,487
But you'll be fine.
511
00:24:06,422 --> 00:24:08,553
Eventually. I just-I just...
512
00:24:08,558 --> 00:24:12,127
Hey, hey. I just want you
to get there faster.
513
00:24:19,903 --> 00:24:23,134
Making me cry wasn't
why you called, was it?
514
00:24:23,139 --> 00:24:25,469
Because if so, I'm never
coming down here again.
515
00:24:25,474 --> 00:24:27,275
No, no. Sorry.
516
00:24:28,044 --> 00:24:31,909
Okay. Based on the manifest
the Lion King gave us
517
00:24:31,914 --> 00:24:33,277
and the carcasses and feathers
518
00:24:33,282 --> 00:24:34,846
and other evidence people have found,
519
00:24:34,851 --> 00:24:37,148
it seems like all the animals
from the boat
520
00:24:37,153 --> 00:24:39,421
have been accounted for. Except one.
521
00:24:41,624 --> 00:24:44,088
- Looks like a deer.
- Cervus nippon,
522
00:24:44,093 --> 00:24:46,157
or the sika deer. Totally common.
523
00:24:46,162 --> 00:24:47,558
Was it coated in gold?
524
00:24:47,563 --> 00:24:49,394
Not that I know of.
525
00:24:49,399 --> 00:24:52,797
Then why put it on a boat
and bring it over from Asia?
526
00:24:52,802 --> 00:24:54,670
Because someone paid him to.
527
00:24:56,673 --> 00:24:58,236
Meet Joseph Gooden.
528
00:24:58,241 --> 00:25:00,509
Time to pay Mr. Gooden a visit.
529
00:25:01,911 --> 00:25:03,508
I was just being polite
530
00:25:03,513 --> 00:25:05,443
letting Lucy ride shotgun, but it's
531
00:25:05,448 --> 00:25:07,312
actually quite comfortable back here.
532
00:25:07,317 --> 00:25:10,315
Well, with three kids, a cat
and a dog, you need space.
533
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:12,250
You let your pets in your new car?
534
00:25:12,255 --> 00:25:13,351
Yeah, seats are waterproof.
535
00:25:13,356 --> 00:25:15,215
Also has that new car smell,
536
00:25:15,220 --> 00:25:16,220
which I love,
537
00:25:16,225 --> 00:25:18,790
but why are we not in an NCIS car?
538
00:25:18,795 --> 00:25:20,292
Well, mine's
getting an oil change.
539
00:25:20,296 --> 00:25:21,592
And mine may or may not have
540
00:25:21,597 --> 00:25:23,928
the Hawaiian Lion King's dog in it.
541
00:25:23,933 --> 00:25:25,463
But it's a cool day.
542
00:25:25,468 --> 00:25:27,598
Pepper's in the shade,
the windows are slightly down,
543
00:25:27,603 --> 00:25:29,563
and there's a bowl
of water on the floor.
544
00:25:29,568 --> 00:25:31,470
Plus, Ernie's gonna
grab her after lunch.
545
00:25:31,475 --> 00:25:32,742
Okay, good.
546
00:25:35,078 --> 00:25:37,312
Melanie seems nice.
547
00:25:38,214 --> 00:25:39,577
That apropos of...
548
00:25:39,582 --> 00:25:40,615
Nothing.
549
00:25:41,317 --> 00:25:42,981
She married?
550
00:25:42,986 --> 00:25:44,782
I don't know.
551
00:25:44,787 --> 00:25:46,384
I mean, she's not wearing a ring.
552
00:25:46,389 --> 00:25:48,554
- Oh, so you noticed she wasn't wearing a ring.
- She's also
553
00:25:48,558 --> 00:25:50,354
five foot, six, she has
brown hair and...
554
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:51,789
Brown eyes to die for.
555
00:25:51,794 --> 00:25:53,558
Ooh! Jesse joins
556
00:25:53,563 --> 00:25:55,326
- in the fun!
- Hey, um,
557
00:25:55,331 --> 00:25:56,728
what about this case, huh?
558
00:25:56,733 --> 00:25:58,867
Everyone living on the edge of nowhere?
559
00:26:00,370 --> 00:26:01,899
You know, maybe they should invest
560
00:26:01,904 --> 00:26:03,968
in some filler for these giant potholes.
561
00:26:03,973 --> 00:26:06,204
Nine and a half inches of
ground clearance. We're good.
562
00:26:06,209 --> 00:26:08,744
But nice job changing the subject.
563
00:26:13,182 --> 00:26:15,046
No lights on inside.
564
00:26:15,051 --> 00:26:17,586
Might just be a
"sit in the dark" kind of guy.
565
00:26:22,357 --> 00:26:24,389
All right, Lucy and I
will take the front,
566
00:26:24,394 --> 00:26:26,628
- Kai, head around back.
- Will do.
567
00:26:31,067 --> 00:26:32,601
Mr. Gooden?
568
00:26:37,707 --> 00:26:40,504
So, you think the
taxidermy is a hobby
569
00:26:40,509 --> 00:26:43,107
or a professional thing?
570
00:26:43,112 --> 00:26:44,142
Hey.
571
00:26:44,147 --> 00:26:46,849
There's another structure back here.
572
00:26:52,021 --> 00:26:54,055
The deer's inside.
573
00:26:59,362 --> 00:27:01,592
Wellness check?
574
00:27:01,597 --> 00:27:02,831
It's not well.
575
00:27:19,315 --> 00:27:20,678
It's horrible.
576
00:27:20,683 --> 00:27:24,682
Yeah. But that's not
how taxidermy is done.
577
00:27:24,687 --> 00:27:26,450
Looks like Gooden drained all the blood
578
00:27:26,455 --> 00:27:28,152
but he left the insides inside.
579
00:27:28,157 --> 00:27:31,155
Why pay someone to bring a deer
all the way from Asia
580
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:32,794
only to kill it when it gets here?
581
00:27:33,824 --> 00:27:35,654
Guys, we need to get out of here.
582
00:27:35,665 --> 00:27:37,328
Why, what is it?
583
00:27:37,333 --> 00:27:39,196
Maybe nothing.
584
00:27:39,201 --> 00:27:41,169
Maybe anthrax.
585
00:27:55,350 --> 00:27:57,615
Good news. Your anthrax vaccines,
586
00:27:57,619 --> 00:27:59,582
along with the lack of any dried spores,
587
00:27:59,587 --> 00:28:01,417
is likely gonna keep you from dying.
588
00:28:01,422 --> 00:28:03,887
Today. Of anthrax.
589
00:28:03,892 --> 00:28:05,622
So there was no anthrax in there?
590
00:28:05,627 --> 00:28:07,224
Oh, no. There's definitely anthrax.
591
00:28:07,229 --> 00:28:09,026
In the blood on the floor.
It just wasn't in a form
592
00:28:09,030 --> 00:28:10,393
that would have made it dangerous.
593
00:28:10,398 --> 00:28:12,562
So the deer had anthrax?
594
00:28:12,567 --> 00:28:13,930
Many ungulates do.
595
00:28:13,935 --> 00:28:15,966
But, like humans,
they need to inhale it.
596
00:28:15,971 --> 00:28:18,501
This bacteria was in its bloodstream.
597
00:28:18,506 --> 00:28:20,803
- Why?
- That is a mystery,
598
00:28:20,808 --> 00:28:22,709
and one I hope you'll
get to the bottom of.
599
00:28:24,913 --> 00:28:26,776
Okay, to recap:
600
00:28:26,781 --> 00:28:28,878
we have a taxidermist
who hired a smuggler
601
00:28:28,883 --> 00:28:32,014
to bring an anthrax-laden
deer from Asia here
602
00:28:32,019 --> 00:28:33,116
so he could kill it.
603
00:28:33,121 --> 00:28:35,852
Have 'em all walk into a bar
and order a beer, and you got
604
00:28:35,857 --> 00:28:37,854
the makings of a joke
no one will understand.
605
00:28:42,130 --> 00:28:44,060
Joseph Gooden only owns
606
00:28:44,065 --> 00:28:45,996
one car, which was parked
behind his workshop.
607
00:28:46,001 --> 00:28:48,494
And so far, we couldn't find
any taxi or rideshares
608
00:28:48,499 --> 00:28:49,499
that came out to get him.
609
00:28:49,504 --> 00:28:51,368
- Someone picked him up.
- Probably.
610
00:28:51,373 --> 00:28:53,369
And cell phone pings
have him on the island
611
00:28:53,374 --> 00:28:55,272
the last couple weeks,
so he wasn't on the boat.
612
00:28:55,277 --> 00:28:56,907
Well, they always have a co-conspirator.
613
00:28:56,912 --> 00:28:58,975
Ernie's checking his cell phone records
614
00:28:58,980 --> 00:29:00,944
and social media accounts,
trying to figure out
615
00:29:00,949 --> 00:29:02,246
who's working with him.
616
00:29:02,250 --> 00:29:03,480
Commander Chase.
617
00:29:03,485 --> 00:29:06,282
I had the biohazard lab analyze
a sample of dried deer blood,
618
00:29:06,287 --> 00:29:07,851
and I was reading the results
619
00:29:07,856 --> 00:29:10,787
as I walked back to my office.
620
00:29:10,792 --> 00:29:12,121
Have a seat.
621
00:29:12,126 --> 00:29:14,157
Seemed prudent to come straight here.
622
00:29:14,162 --> 00:29:17,360
This is not ordinary anthrax.
It's been bio-engineered.
623
00:29:17,365 --> 00:29:19,994
- And injected into the deer's bloodstream?
- It might be less rugged
624
00:29:19,998 --> 00:29:21,962
than biologic anthrax.
It seems like they needed
625
00:29:21,967 --> 00:29:24,367
the live deer, which is a
natural host, to keep it viable.
626
00:29:24,372 --> 00:29:26,203
- Okay, why go to all the trouble?
- I can't say
627
00:29:26,207 --> 00:29:28,038
for sure, but I believe
its chemical structure
628
00:29:28,043 --> 00:29:30,907
will make current vaccines
and treatments less effective.
629
00:29:30,912 --> 00:29:32,309
So if somebody
630
00:29:32,314 --> 00:29:34,777
extracted it from the blood with a...
631
00:29:34,782 --> 00:29:36,212
Centrifuge.
632
00:29:36,217 --> 00:29:38,381
- They'd be able to weaponize it?
- Yes.
633
00:29:38,386 --> 00:29:40,518
- Okay, how much can they make?
- Based on the concentration
634
00:29:40,522 --> 00:29:42,685
in the deer's bloodstream,
about a tablespoon.
635
00:29:42,690 --> 00:29:44,220
If properly dispersed,
636
00:29:44,225 --> 00:29:45,656
it's enough to kill a lot of people.
637
00:29:45,660 --> 00:29:47,558
Well, this explains
the boat crash. Gooden
638
00:29:47,562 --> 00:29:49,960
and whoever he was working with
wanted to destroy the evidence
639
00:29:49,964 --> 00:29:52,362
of how the biotoxin got to Hawai'i.
640
00:29:52,367 --> 00:29:54,331
Okay.
641
00:29:54,336 --> 00:29:57,033
Lucy, work with Commander Chase,
learn everything you can
642
00:29:57,038 --> 00:29:58,564
about this anthrax. Jesse...
643
00:29:58,569 --> 00:29:59,669
Ernie just sent me a list
644
00:29:59,674 --> 00:30:01,437
of the taxidermist's close contacts.
645
00:30:01,442 --> 00:30:03,506
- Find them.
- On it.
646
00:30:03,511 --> 00:30:06,309
They're charming.
A combined 72 years
647
00:30:06,314 --> 00:30:09,712
of prison for attempted murder,
assault, armed robbery, arson.
648
00:30:09,717 --> 00:30:11,514
One of them even kicked
his neighbor's dog.
649
00:30:11,519 --> 00:30:13,316
Okay, but do they have
any sort of agenda?
650
00:30:13,321 --> 00:30:16,653
They frequent a social media
group called Sons of Thunder.
651
00:30:16,658 --> 00:30:18,921
Currently obsessed with borders
and how porous they are
652
00:30:18,926 --> 00:30:20,391
- in the U.S.
- All right, well, this is Hawai'i,
653
00:30:20,395 --> 00:30:22,592
and we don't have borders.
654
00:30:22,597 --> 00:30:24,861
But we do have lots of
people passing through
655
00:30:24,866 --> 00:30:26,400
from lots of places.
656
00:30:27,535 --> 00:30:29,335
How long does it take
anthrax to kill someone?
657
00:30:31,873 --> 00:30:33,460
Two to three days.
658
00:30:33,465 --> 00:30:35,246
So, if you expose some tourists
and they got sick,
659
00:30:35,250 --> 00:30:36,617
it'll feel like a pandemic.
660
00:30:37,379 --> 00:30:38,508
That sounds fun.
661
00:30:38,513 --> 00:30:40,810
But they have to infect people first.
662
00:30:40,815 --> 00:30:43,679
The spores would need to
be inhaled. You wouldn't
663
00:30:43,684 --> 00:30:45,182
want to do it outside,
because they'll blow away.
664
00:30:45,186 --> 00:30:47,817
So it has to be an indoor
location with high traffic,
665
00:30:47,822 --> 00:30:50,787
a place where lots of people
come from someplace else.
666
00:30:50,792 --> 00:30:52,355
Airports, hotels...
667
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:54,595
- Conferences.
- The convention center.
668
00:30:55,496 --> 00:30:57,459
The International Tourism Board
669
00:30:57,464 --> 00:30:58,863
is meeting at the convention center.
670
00:30:58,867 --> 00:31:00,964
First time in three years.
One thousand people
671
00:31:00,969 --> 00:31:02,899
from all over the world. Ends today.
672
00:31:02,904 --> 00:31:05,068
All right, send this to
everyone. Include HPD,
673
00:31:05,073 --> 00:31:07,537
CGIS, the FBI and Fish and Wildlife.
674
00:31:07,542 --> 00:31:09,776
I hope that guy changed his pants.
675
00:31:22,190 --> 00:31:23,686
We've got law enforcement
676
00:31:23,691 --> 00:31:25,722
on site. Ventilation is on the roof...
677
00:31:25,727 --> 00:31:27,057
hasn't been tampered with,
678
00:31:27,062 --> 00:31:28,458
and we got uniforms sitting on it.
679
00:31:28,463 --> 00:31:29,826
Should we lock the doors?
680
00:31:29,831 --> 00:31:32,095
No, that's a problem if our
suspects are already inside.
681
00:31:32,100 --> 00:31:33,496
Lucy,
682
00:31:33,501 --> 00:31:35,231
did you brief everyone on the biotoxin?
683
00:31:35,236 --> 00:31:37,934
Briefed 'em, scared 'em. Yes to both.
684
00:31:37,939 --> 00:31:39,936
All right, listen, they're gonna
want to infect as many people
685
00:31:39,940 --> 00:31:41,572
as possible. They're gonna
need a powered device
686
00:31:41,576 --> 00:31:43,506
- to spread it broadly.
- What's that look like?
687
00:31:43,511 --> 00:31:45,842
- Don't know.
- I've got one of Gooden's
688
00:31:45,847 --> 00:31:47,477
close contacts.
689
00:31:47,482 --> 00:31:49,946
Blue shirt, brown hat.
690
00:31:49,951 --> 00:31:52,415
Jeans and blue sneakers. Small backpack.
691
00:31:52,420 --> 00:31:53,450
Watch on right wrist.
692
00:31:53,455 --> 00:31:55,552
That is a very detailed description.
693
00:31:55,557 --> 00:31:57,723
This isn't different from
identifying birds in the field.
694
00:31:57,727 --> 00:32:00,224
Yeah, except these birds
are carrying a lethal biotoxin.
695
00:32:00,228 --> 00:32:02,092
Well, there's that.
696
00:32:02,097 --> 00:32:05,032
Melanie, Kai, grab him in a way
that doesn't spook the others.
697
00:32:10,271 --> 00:32:12,902
Hey, we got another
one... far left door.
698
00:32:12,907 --> 00:32:14,370
Dark khakis, green henley.
699
00:32:14,375 --> 00:32:15,642
Grey backpack.
700
00:32:16,578 --> 00:32:18,812
- Got him.
- Jesse, Lucy. He's yours.
701
00:32:23,685 --> 00:32:25,886
Federal agents. We need
you to come with us.
702
00:32:29,658 --> 00:32:31,325
NCIS. Federal agents.
703
00:32:37,065 --> 00:32:38,528
I've got eyes on Gooden.
704
00:32:38,533 --> 00:32:39,996
But he spotted us.
705
00:32:40,001 --> 00:32:42,098
He's heading into the convention center
706
00:32:42,103 --> 00:32:43,704
through the glass doors.
707
00:32:59,586 --> 00:33:02,185
Jesse, you go that way. Siggy, that way.
708
00:33:02,190 --> 00:33:03,988
I'll go up the escalator,
see if I can see him.
709
00:33:03,992 --> 00:33:05,989
In a crowd, a predator's instinct
710
00:33:05,994 --> 00:33:07,457
is to stay on the fringes.
711
00:33:07,462 --> 00:33:09,597
Good tip. I'll keep an eye on the walls.
712
00:33:19,006 --> 00:33:20,970
There... by the tile mosaic.
713
00:33:20,975 --> 00:33:22,709
He's taking something
out of his backpack.
714
00:33:30,984 --> 00:33:32,485
Uh...
715
00:33:48,870 --> 00:33:50,437
Got it.
716
00:34:08,422 --> 00:34:11,320
People like you... you can't stop us.
717
00:34:11,325 --> 00:34:12,455
Dude.
718
00:34:12,460 --> 00:34:13,827
She already did.
719
00:34:14,729 --> 00:34:16,325
Don't mess with a lioness.
720
00:34:16,330 --> 00:34:17,860
Ain't that the truth.
721
00:34:17,865 --> 00:34:19,165
Come on.
722
00:34:38,486 --> 00:34:41,750
Excuse me. I'm looking
for my son, Alex Tennant.
723
00:34:41,755 --> 00:34:44,120
He asked for a wheelchair
about 30 minutes ago.
724
00:34:44,125 --> 00:34:45,221
He headed that way.
725
00:34:45,226 --> 00:34:46,760
Okay, thank you.
726
00:34:58,572 --> 00:35:00,302
Hi, sweetheart.
727
00:35:00,307 --> 00:35:02,342
Hey, Mom.
728
00:35:05,613 --> 00:35:07,680
I remember the day you were born.
729
00:35:09,016 --> 00:35:12,652
Your dad and I felt so... lame.
730
00:35:14,054 --> 00:35:15,684
How were we gonna take care of something
731
00:35:15,689 --> 00:35:17,787
so little?
732
00:35:18,692 --> 00:35:20,356
Now look at you.
733
00:35:20,361 --> 00:35:23,559
Yeah, bigger and wrecked.
734
00:35:23,564 --> 00:35:25,598
Bigger and rebuilding.
735
00:35:28,035 --> 00:35:30,070
But I know what you mean.
736
00:35:31,272 --> 00:35:33,306
Baseball was my ticket.
737
00:35:35,643 --> 00:35:37,506
I had these plans.
738
00:35:37,511 --> 00:35:40,078
N-Not to play pro, but...
739
00:35:42,283 --> 00:35:44,083
To be a fireman.
740
00:35:45,702 --> 00:35:47,102
I was five.
741
00:35:48,822 --> 00:35:49,885
Astronaut.
742
00:35:49,890 --> 00:35:51,220
Eight.
743
00:35:51,225 --> 00:35:53,756
- Architect.
- I get it.
744
00:35:53,761 --> 00:35:55,457
Plans change.
745
00:35:55,462 --> 00:35:57,497
Maybe.
746
00:36:00,301 --> 00:36:02,335
But maybe they don't.
747
00:36:03,671 --> 00:36:06,702
This is just a pause, okay,
748
00:36:06,707 --> 00:36:10,406
in your life to rediscover
how much you love baseball.
749
00:36:10,411 --> 00:36:14,277
Or find something new that you love.
750
00:36:14,282 --> 00:36:16,145
And no matter what,
751
00:36:16,150 --> 00:36:18,652
I'm gonna be right there with you.
752
00:36:20,554 --> 00:36:22,217
I know.
753
00:36:22,222 --> 00:36:24,257
You better.
754
00:36:26,427 --> 00:36:29,425
Well, this investigation
was very exciting.
755
00:36:29,430 --> 00:36:31,527
Thank you for letting me
be a part of it.
756
00:36:31,532 --> 00:36:33,398
Oh, we couldn't have
wrapped it up without you.
757
00:36:33,402 --> 00:36:34,464
And Siggy.
758
00:36:34,469 --> 00:36:35,566
Where is he, by the way?
759
00:36:35,571 --> 00:36:37,900
Oh, he doesn't like being inside.
760
00:36:37,905 --> 00:36:39,134
I understand.
761
00:36:39,139 --> 00:36:41,637
That fringy suit of his is, like... wow.
762
00:36:41,642 --> 00:36:43,072
You'd never want to take it off.
763
00:36:43,077 --> 00:36:45,274
In case you were wondering,
764
00:36:45,279 --> 00:36:48,143
we will find homes for all
of the Lion King's animals.
765
00:36:48,148 --> 00:36:51,347
And, uh, hopefully no one else steps in
766
00:36:51,352 --> 00:36:53,649
to fill the void arresting him created.
767
00:36:53,654 --> 00:36:55,818
Uh, well, not even you believe that.
768
00:36:55,823 --> 00:36:58,725
Unfortunately, someone always
fills the criminal void.
769
00:37:00,294 --> 00:37:02,595
Well, m-maybe we'll
see you again, Melanie.
770
00:37:03,964 --> 00:37:06,495
Maybe. Take care.
771
00:37:06,500 --> 00:37:07,900
Yeah.
772
00:37:24,251 --> 00:37:26,453
I really enjoyed working with you.
773
00:37:27,355 --> 00:37:29,318
Me too.
774
00:37:29,323 --> 00:37:32,855
And I guess I was wondering
if you would like to...
775
00:37:32,860 --> 00:37:34,661
have dinner.
776
00:37:35,896 --> 00:37:37,897
Yeah, I would.
777
00:37:40,134 --> 00:37:41,167
Okay.
778
00:37:42,169 --> 00:37:43,536
I'm a vegetarian.
779
00:37:45,673 --> 00:37:47,507
I'm allergic to avocados.
780
00:37:50,044 --> 00:37:51,974
I like bluegrass.
781
00:37:51,979 --> 00:37:53,976
Oh.
782
00:37:53,981 --> 00:37:56,216
I think cats are weird.
783
00:38:03,024 --> 00:38:05,521
Hey.
784
00:38:05,526 --> 00:38:06,856
You getting ready to go?
785
00:38:06,861 --> 00:38:09,658
Yeah. We've saved the
world enough for one day.
786
00:38:09,663 --> 00:38:11,460
Oh, you got a dog.
787
00:38:11,465 --> 00:38:13,462
Uh, Kai thinks it's his.
But I think Pepper
788
00:38:13,467 --> 00:38:14,764
likes me best. Right, Pepper?
789
00:38:14,769 --> 00:38:16,465
Right?
790
00:38:16,470 --> 00:38:19,502
- Yeah?
- Oh, my God, you're so cute.
791
00:38:19,507 --> 00:38:22,438
Well, I, um, just came by
792
00:38:22,443 --> 00:38:24,940
to tell you that I made an
appointment with the kahuna.
793
00:38:24,945 --> 00:38:26,475
Saturday afternoon.
794
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:29,678
Great. Let me know how it goes.
795
00:38:29,683 --> 00:38:31,113
I'll let you know.
796
00:38:31,118 --> 00:38:33,382
Hey, can I-can I ask you a question?
797
00:38:33,387 --> 00:38:34,921
Yeah.
798
00:38:36,023 --> 00:38:38,621
Way back when, you
told me you and Whistler
799
00:38:38,626 --> 00:38:40,322
had gotten together before this.
800
00:38:40,327 --> 00:38:42,362
How did that happen?
801
00:38:48,569 --> 00:38:50,766
Okay.
802
00:38:50,771 --> 00:38:53,235
So, I, um...
803
00:38:53,240 --> 00:38:55,438
I sometimes go to
804
00:38:55,443 --> 00:38:57,440
my neighborhood bar,
805
00:38:57,445 --> 00:39:01,410
pretend that my life
and my job are normal.
806
00:39:01,415 --> 00:39:03,278
Like, I work in finance or in retail.
807
00:39:03,283 --> 00:39:05,681
But I don't lie to people,
808
00:39:05,686 --> 00:39:07,917
I just don't go out of my way
809
00:39:07,922 --> 00:39:10,586
to tell them all the things
that we see every day.
810
00:39:10,591 --> 00:39:12,621
One day, this...
811
00:39:12,626 --> 00:39:16,325
unbelievably beautiful woman
812
00:39:16,330 --> 00:39:18,560
walks into the bar and orders dinner.
813
00:39:18,565 --> 00:39:21,463
And as she sat there,
waiting for her food,
814
00:39:21,468 --> 00:39:22,898
I decided to talk to her.
815
00:39:22,903 --> 00:39:27,302
And she was smart and charming.
816
00:39:27,307 --> 00:39:28,637
She was in town for a meeting.
817
00:39:28,642 --> 00:39:30,640
I didn't ask what she did.
She didn't ask what I did.
818
00:39:30,644 --> 00:39:34,210
And... one thing led to another.
819
00:39:34,215 --> 00:39:36,912
I'm reading between the lines.
I hope that's okay.
820
00:39:36,917 --> 00:39:39,518
Yeah. Yeah.
821
00:39:40,739 --> 00:39:43,671
So, after two nights,
three days, she left.
822
00:39:43,676 --> 00:39:45,005
All good.
823
00:39:45,010 --> 00:39:47,274
Then, after six months,
824
00:39:47,279 --> 00:39:49,410
She walks into the bullpen.
825
00:39:49,415 --> 00:39:51,278
Mm-hmm. Turns out she worked at DIA
826
00:39:51,283 --> 00:39:53,581
and had gotten transferred to Hawai'i.
827
00:39:53,586 --> 00:39:56,083
- That was a year and a half ago.
- About.
828
00:39:56,088 --> 00:39:58,052
She was new at her job.
I was new at mine.
829
00:39:58,057 --> 00:39:59,920
So, working together, even peripherally,
830
00:39:59,925 --> 00:40:02,293
made a relationship seem...
831
00:40:03,429 --> 00:40:04,925
... complicated.
832
00:40:04,930 --> 00:40:07,461
So, we decided it was better
833
00:40:07,466 --> 00:40:11,365
if we stayed the scrappy NCIS agent
834
00:40:11,370 --> 00:40:14,305
and that annoying woman from DIA.
835
00:40:15,307 --> 00:40:17,341
Was that hard?
836
00:40:21,146 --> 00:40:23,414
You've seen her. What do you think?
837
00:40:27,186 --> 00:40:29,516
I think you are a very strong woman.
838
00:40:29,521 --> 00:40:32,623
And I mean that in all sorts of ways.
839
00:40:34,193 --> 00:40:35,626
I hope the kahuna helps.
840
00:40:37,596 --> 00:40:39,293
Me too.
841
00:40:39,298 --> 00:40:40,360
Come on, Pepper.
842
00:40:40,365 --> 00:40:42,262
Come on.
843
00:40:44,870 --> 00:40:46,637
- No.
- Hey.
844
00:40:47,973 --> 00:40:49,503
This is your brother.
845
00:40:49,508 --> 00:40:52,106
Nathaniel Stillwater Tennant.
846
00:40:52,111 --> 00:40:54,308
Stillwater?
847
00:40:54,313 --> 00:40:56,176
Family name on Caitlyn's side.
848
00:40:56,181 --> 00:40:57,578
We're gonna call him Nate.
849
00:40:57,583 --> 00:40:59,283
Oh, love it.
850
00:41:00,085 --> 00:41:02,316
Hi, Nate.
851
00:41:02,321 --> 00:41:04,785
Well, if you would've
called him Stillwater,
852
00:41:04,790 --> 00:41:06,457
we would have made that work, too.
853
00:41:10,996 --> 00:41:13,064
Okay, watch his head.
854
00:41:15,834 --> 00:41:17,765
Hey, Nate.
855
00:41:17,770 --> 00:41:19,470
I'm Alex.
856
00:41:20,572 --> 00:41:22,503
I'm gonna get strong so you and I
857
00:41:22,508 --> 00:41:24,972
can run around together real soon, okay?
858
00:41:24,977 --> 00:41:26,306
Oh, not too soon,
859
00:41:26,311 --> 00:41:28,008
I bet.
860
00:41:28,013 --> 00:41:31,478
You were at 15 months when you walked.
861
00:41:31,483 --> 00:41:33,280
Don't listen to her.
862
00:41:33,285 --> 00:41:35,520
You're gonna be an overachiever.
863
00:41:38,323 --> 00:41:40,358
I'll be right back.
864
00:41:41,460 --> 00:41:43,761
Hi, hi.
865
00:41:46,098 --> 00:41:47,828
He's beautiful, Daniel.
866
00:41:47,833 --> 00:41:50,468
Well, all my kids take
after their mothers.
867
00:41:53,539 --> 00:41:55,536
How is Caitlyn doing?
868
00:41:55,541 --> 00:41:57,238
She's tired.
869
00:41:57,243 --> 00:41:59,540
How's Alex?
870
00:41:59,545 --> 00:42:01,575
Doctor said that the surgery
871
00:42:01,580 --> 00:42:03,410
went as well as it could possibly go.
872
00:42:03,415 --> 00:42:05,712
After a couple months of rehab,
873
00:42:05,717 --> 00:42:08,081
he should be good as new.
874
00:42:08,086 --> 00:42:11,351
I'm glad to hear it.
875
00:42:11,356 --> 00:42:13,391
How was your day?
876
00:42:17,930 --> 00:42:19,393
Hi.
877
00:42:20,599 --> 00:42:22,133
It was great.
