In this week’s episode of NCIS: Los Angeles the theft of six military missiles brings the team in on the case of a home-grown extremist militia group. They murdered a private who could expose them and the gruesome choking is caught on an aquarium surveillance camera, recording the crime.
The military officer they believe is behind the theft of the missiles literally tries to strangle Kensi to death, simply for looking into his surfing gear tied to the top of his vehicle. The NCIS: Los Angeles writers continue to come up with some extreme scenes of their own in about every third episode or so, and this guy’s overreaction seemed extreme for what little Kensi was doing. At least it appeared that way to me, but who am I, right?
With Hetty away to testify in Washington the team decides to attempt to infiltrate this extremist group in order to bring them down. Their actions anger Hetty as it brings up bad memories of another agent under her command that got killed attempting a similar mission. Regardless of her objections, the plan has already been put in motion and it’s too late to turn back.
The plan is to use an old ploy of transferring the guy suspected of stealing the missiles in the same truck with Callen, who pretends to be a criminal himself. In the short trip over Callen bonds with him enough so that when a fake rescue succeeds the extremist convinces Callen to go with him to his secret extremist military camp to hideout.
When they get there the leader of the group isn’t happy that Callen was brought to the secret location, so he shoots and kills the guy who stole the missiles for them. He is about to kill Callen too when Sam, seeing what is going down, drives in revealing himself to be a government agent and claims the camp is surrounded by fifty agents, when in reality there are only two people out in the woods to cover them.
The ploy buys them time until more agents actually do arrive and they are able to capture the extremist group and recover the missiles. This wasn’t the most intriguing or action-packed episode of NCIS: Los Angeles I’ve ever seen, but the show has come a long way in a short period of time, to the point that even the average shows are still fairly good overall.
