This weeks episode of NCIS: Los Angeles opens in great style with guns blazing along with a foot chase through an airport and it even mixed in a little bit of car chase action that provided some tense moments.

Sam, played by LL Cool J, and Callen, played by Chris O’Donnell and the rest of the NCIS: Los Angeles team are given the assignment to find a rouge Citdential employ, which is the name of a private security group. The agent is introduced as being a veteran of the Iraq war who reportedly went crazy and killed the wealthy businessman Citdential was supposed to be protecting.

This rouge agent’s name is Walton Flynn and through some web 2.0 investigation into his Facebook activities they find that he has been in contact with an old girlfriend from high school recently.  The team deduces that this guy has come to Los Angeles for a purpose, but they don’t know what that purpose is, but considering he is considered insane they know they must find him before he carries out whatever he has planned.

Sam and Callen stakeout Flynn’s new girlfriend’s home hoping to they will be able to catch him when he gets there.  They do some research in to Flynn’s past and it is obvious that he and Callen had similar hard-knocks backgrounds growing up.

Once Flynn shows up at the girl’s home, he and Callen seem to connect right off the bat, but before he can call in the troops to take Flynn down, a couple of Citdential agents rush in blasting away, seemingly hell bent on taking Flynn out before the NCIS team can bring him in.

Flynn has a SIMS card taken during the time of his supposed mental breakdown.  The NCIS: Los Angeles team is able to uncover the video from the damaged card and the truth is revealed. It turns out, he has proof that the head of Citdential actually killed the Iraqi businessman, then devised the scheme to make Flynn the scapegoat.

They are able to stop Flynn before he is able to execute his ex-boss and eventually capture him. Later, Callen decides to let him go because he believes that the big corporation’s government connections are strong enough that Flynn’s life would be in danger.

This was a great episode, teeming with action and an emotional attachment to it all that added something extra to the plot.
