"Mr. Callen, if he's playing dirty, then so must you." "If you want answers, turn on the news." "Tony Trager's in custody." "Who?" "The dirty ex-cop that paid you ten grand" " Fillmore and Western paid him with marked bills, which he passed on to you." "Yeah, I did some carpentry and plumbing at his house." "Trager confessed." "His job was to make Rome disappear." "Your job was to plant the bombs at the apartment and scout out the rail yard." "I have no idea what you're talking about." "They pay you to blow up the motel, too?" "And put the bombs on the tracks?" "Are you asking me or telling me?" "If you have all the answers, why do you need me?" "This bomb goes off you're looking at the death penalty." "What bomb?" "I have no idea what you're talking about." "It sounds like you don't, either." "California doesn't have the death penalty." "California?" "No." "We're talking about an act of federal terrorism." "KENSI:" "We'll probably have to put him in Guantanamo, for his own safety." "Save it." "You're not scaring a forced confession out of me." "(whispers):" "Yeah, he's right." "Leave it to the professionals." "Have the rendition team get him out of here." "I hear those tube feedings are delightful." "DEEKS:" "Just out of curiosity, how do you say, uh," ""bottoms up" in Arabic?" "It's 36 ties from the switch." "...34, 35, 36." "(train horn blowing)" "Less than a mile." "How's your speed?" "I'm down to 30." "It's still too fast." "You can bail, Mitch." "Jump out while you can." "I can't let go of the throttle." "I have to try." "Mom?" "(voice breaking):" "I'm here." "I'm sorry." "There are people on the track up ahead." "I-Is that where the bomb is?" "You've got about 30 seconds." "Nothing but dirt." "Bellamy's a liar!" "Let's go!" "Maybe he counted the switch as number one." "MITCH:" "I can't stop in time." "Why aren't they moving?" "You got an eye on the train, Sam?" "I see it." "Bingo!" "Bricks of C-4 and a receiver." "Get them off the track!" "I'm not gonna make it." "Attacking the initiator." "Pray the power dump doesn't set it off." "Don't be a fool!" "Get out!" "Sam?" "♪" "Piece of cake." "(pants)" "(Jillian laughing)" "(Jillian laughing)" "(exhales)" "Hey." "Well, hey, how are you two doing?" "Great." "Just finishing up some stuff." "Good." "Hey, you know that guy, Rome?" "Yeah." "Hijacked a train." "Yeah, I heard, huh?" "What a loser." "Huh." "Well, I guess he won't be suing the railroad now." "(chuckles):" "Not a chance." "Oh, listen, just out of curiosity, what are you, uh, what are you up to?" "Eh, boring stuff." "Preemployment background checks, that sort of thing." "Gotta pay the bills, huh?" "Well, 90 grand pays a lot of bills." "What do you got in your, uh, your murse there." "You got fifties... or hundreds?" "KENSI:" "Yeah, that's right." "Bellamy told us everything." "Yeah, well, Bellamy's a lowlife scum." "Who you were dumb enough to hire." "Oh, come on, really?" "You're gonna shoot federal agents?" "You already murdered a security guard." "DEEKS:" "Bellamy couldn't make it, so you filled in." "KENSI:" "Where'd you learn Arabic?" "That "Allahu Akbar"" that was a nice touch." "Mm." "Very convincing." "Yeah." "Well... innocent until proven guilty." "Gotta go." "Oh, thank you." "(guns cocking)" "I will take that." "Sing along if you know the words." "DEEKS  KENSI:" "You have the right to remain silent." "Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law." "40-weights all around." "What is this?" "KENSI (sighs):" "Oh, don't even ask." "Why does she need the reports tonight?" "'Cause we got about a hundred federal agencies begging for the intel." "DHS, FBI," "NRC, DOJ, DOT, TSA..." "Okay, okay, okay." "Where's Deeks?" "DEEKS:" "Oh!" "I think I just broke a hoof. (groans)" "Transformer's looking pretty good." "Here you go." "Ah, thank you, sir." "You're welcome." "Yeah, it was a gift from Mitch Rome." "He's gonna let me babysit it for a few months until he gets out of prison." "You may not want to run this thing tonight." "Yeah, probably not for a couple weeks." "At least not until Mercury's out of retrograde." "(laughs)" "You guys can laugh it up all you want, but, uh, did anyone's travel plans go awry today?" "Just like every day on the 405." "Come on, you guys, there were signs everywhere." "Mitch Rome." "Mercury's a Roman god." "The name of the bus station." "What about it?" "Maximus Lines-- that's the home temple of Mercury, the Circus Maximus." "Oh..." "SAM:" "Well, you know, in ancient Rome, they spoke Latin." "DEEKS:" "Mm." "And on the radio today, Latin music." "He's right." "Okay, you two are pretty cute together." "But the fact is that you couldn't disarm the bomb because it had a mercury trigger." "I'm just, I'm thinking that's interesting." "CALLEN:" "Uh-huh." "You going to chisel your report in stone, Mr. Deeks?" "Yeah, I was just... putting the last final touches on it." "Oh..." "This?" "HETTY:" "That... is an Airfix Prairie Tank." "DEEKS:" "Yeah." "HETTY:" "Oh!" "That's a classic!" "It is, indeed." "Does it work?" "Oh, yeah, this is gonna be great." "I mean, Christmas is coming early this year." "I've been dreaming about this, Hetty, since I was, like, five years old." "(whoops)" "(Hetty laughs) (whistle blows)" "DEEKS:" "Hetty, see, I-I haven't fully secured the tracks!" "Make it stop, Hetty!" "No!" "Aah!" "SAM:" "Mercury's a bitch, ain't it?" "(all laugh, Deeks groans)"
