During a US Air Force test, went wrong at Camp Pendleton, a UAV (unmanned 'drone' aircraft), piloted by crack captain Mark Holden Briggs (32), kills USMC coordinator Michael Hazlett by firing a missile. The UAV was hacked and stolen, with its second armed missile. Briggs denies misfiring or system failure but resents drones replacing live piloting. A video recording identifies the hacker: US Islam fundamentalist Yousef Kaleem from Venice, California, a former tech researcher, who dies to avoid arrest. Callen & co still find and follow leads, but so does a ruthless killer.

Quotes

Special Agent Dominic Vaile: Joystick, throttle. This was used to get control of your UAV. We're gonna hack into the system and get it back.
Air Force Captain Pete Briggs: I watched a friend die. I couldn't help him. I can't do that again.
Special Agent Dominic Vaile: Last night, I watched a kid bleed out on the floor of a bathroom because I couldn't get there in time to save him. There's nothing I can do to fix that. I don't get a second chance. But you do.
Air Force Captain Pete Briggs: Sometimes our best isn't good enough.
Special Agent Dominic Vaile: True. But that's no reason to give anything less.
